Chapter 127: Fighting Locusts

The little girl's words made the caravan speed up. As if some taboo had been touched, the old man couldn't even take care of business.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that these businesses are not profitable.

After all, the old man's business vision is as accurate as ever. Being able to maintain a balance of payments depends on "luck".

In his own words:

"The big business of making money has long been taken over by the big guys.

Ordinary people who want to get involved in it will only bring disaster to themselves.

Earning some hard-earned money and being safe and secure is the most important thing. ”

……

As night fell, the old man who left the convoy changed his image in an instant.

The old skin became rounded, and the wrinkles on his face gradually disappeared, as if he had suddenly become thirty years younger

"Holy Lord, we have completed the task you have commanded.

The locusts were scattered, and according to your orders, they were sprinkled all the way to the southeastern provinces, and at this moment the army of locusts was converging in a steady stream to that side.

It's just that the nobles reacted quickly, and now they have arrived in Arbor County, and it seems that they are preparing to hunt the Insect King halfway.

The strength of this noble squad is very strong, and the hidden powerhouses such as the Magister and the Earth Knight, which are rarely seen on weekdays, have now appeared.

It can be boldly guessed that the high-end combat power of the entire southeastern province has all gathered at this moment.

The magicians who participate in the action are also high-level magicians at the worst. The strength of the knight is also the great knight, and these guys also carry magical beasts.

Coupled with the cooperation of the armies of the local nobles in Arbor County, no one can say whether the Worm King can break through the blockade now. ”

The middle-aged man reported worriedly.

Having witnessed the heritage of the aristocracy, the arrogance of the middle-aged man has long disappeared without a trace. If it weren't for this locust plague, I might not have had the opportunity to see it in my life.

The Skull Club's petty fights are simply not enough to get the family to go all out. The power that is just put on the surface can suppress them countless times.

"Karlis, don't be fooled by momentary successes and failures.

It doesn't matter if you succeed or if you fail.

This is not our battle, and the nobility is not our real enemy. They are strong, and it's not a bad thing for us.

It's just a deal, and the locust plague has reached this point, which is enough to make those bastards go back and ask for credit.

Even if the Worm King does not make it to the Southeastern Province, the scattered locust army alone will be enough to achieve our goal.

The nobles' eyes are distracted, and they don't care about trouble with us in the short term. Your next mission is to find the Blood Moon Horn.

The city of Dadir is the last place of the Blood Moon Horn, and the nobles who entered the city last year to quell the rebellion are all suspicious.

This is the best chance to act, and you'll have to keep your head low and don't make any more noise until you find the Blood Moon Horn. ”

The anti-papal organization, lurking in the ranks supported by the Holy See, has to be said to be a kind of irony.

The more dangerous the place, the safer it is, and the anti-armor of the Skull and Bones Society covers up all reasonable and unreasonable actions.

As for cult organizations, they never follow the rules in their actions. For a different style, no one will find it strange.

Suspicious, that's just normal operation. If there is no problem, is it still a cult?

"Holy Lord, we have done things so cleanly, why don't we leave a trace and let the nobles and the Holy See eat dogs?"

Karliss asked, confused.

Provoking contradictions between the Holy See and the aristocratic clique is a plan they have never dreamed of accomplishing. But the opportunity was sent to the door, but the Skeleton Lord in front of him did the opposite.

Not only did it not expose the existence of the Holy See, but it even deliberately washed away the man-made deeds and hid it as much as possible.

"Karlis, you're thinking too simply. Although the Holy See is rotten, it doesn't mean that those guys are really stupid.

Wouldn't deliberately leaving traces expose us to their eyes?

Now is not the time to fall out, and we cannot do without the support of the Holy See for the time being until we have the support of the new great powers.

Even if they don't leave a trace, the nobles will still find the head of the Holy See. Evidence is never an issue for the big powers.

Skepticism alone is enough to make them come to conclusions.

Didn't you suffer a loss last time? ”

The words of the Skeleton Lord made Karlis very embarrassed.

In the middle and lower strata of mixing, evidence and clues are very important.

How can you not suffer losses if you are carried away by your own cognition and bring your own ideas into the decision-making of others.

……

In Arbor County, after a simple division of the area, several elders each led someone to take charge of an area.

Each team was evenly distributed, with magicians, knights, and local nobles coming to cooperate.

It's really just a cooperation, the aristocratic private army that pulls the net to catch locusts, and the main task is to report it immediately if it finds the trace of the insect king.

Killing?

No matter how weak the monster is, it is also a monster, and it is not something that ordinary people can deal with.

What's more, the insect king is a creature that flies extremely fast, and the fastest war horses can't catch up, let alone ordinary people.

As the youngest team leader, Hudson has the highest return rate wherever he goes.

It is conceivable that after this wave, he will become "someone else's child" in the eyes of more parents.

Looking at the various equipment for dealing with locusts, although the tools are a little rudimentary, they are generally quite experienced.

In addition to the various nets, Hudson's favorite thing was the prepared smoke. Smoke to drive away locusts should be the most effective means for ordinary people under the existing scientific and technological means.

Magicians don't count, there are all kinds of magic devices, although I don't know how to use them, but my intuition tells Hudson that these inconspicuous things must be quite lethal to locusts.

In addition to physical means, there are also locust repellent potions improvised by alchemists.

The effect is similar to that of insecticides, and the effect on small groups of locusts is good. Once it encounters an army of locusts under the command of the Insect King, it will be instantly useless.

Hudson is also very confused in this regard, as if the insect king has a unique talent, and the locusts driven by it will not only increase their resistance to medicine, but also increase their combat effectiveness.

If there is a Worm Emperor, the situation will be even worse. I heard that under the command of the Insect Emperor, these vegetarian locusts don't even let go of meat.

Once the Worm Emperor was born, all the places he passed through were extinct in humans and animals, and few living beings could survive.

Nominally a leader, Hudson didn't actually need to command anything.

The strong men who participated in this operation all had their own areas of responsibility, and the mages were also equipped with knight protection.

The private armies of the nobles who came to cooperate were naturally commanded by the noble lords themselves.

As the titular commander, the main task is to immediately rush over and capture the Worm King alive or kill him after discovering it.

In order to improve efficiency, Hudson was accompanied by two griffon cavalry who took turns to take to the skies to patrol.

Choosing a creek to stop, Hudson, bored, quietly watched Bear Stearns play in the water.

The bear child is in the stage of the heaviest curiosity of the bear child, and everything feels fresh when he sees it.

One moment to catch crabs, the other to catch fish and shrimp, and from time to time to show off to Hudson.

In order to let the little guy work hard next, Hudson directly incarnated into an enthusiastic big brother, constantly affirming the bear child's achievements.

"Buzz, buzz......"

The sound of wings flapping sounded, and Hudson's expression suddenly became solemn, and he finally came.

With the efforts of the magician, the thick black smoke that rose up, as if it had long legs, went directly towards the army of locusts.

The war began.

Reaching out and patting the bear cub on the shoulder, Hudson said with a smile:

"Bear Stearns, it's time to get to work.

Get all these pesky little bugs down for me, but don't hurt your own people. ”

Disturbed by the disturbed interest, Bear Stearns' black eyes rolled up, waved his bear paw and slapped it on the ground, and the whole earth trembled.

This thing was definitely deliberate, and before I had time to blame Bear Stearns for doing something, I heard the sound of "brushing ......".

With the bear cub at the center, as far as Van Hudson's eye could see, locusts continued to fall from the sky as if they were drunk.

"Gravity Field?"

Hudson asked, uncertain.

Vaguely, he did feel a little heavier in his body, but the increase was not large.

Serf soldiers who had drawn nets to catch locusts nearby were also unaffected. If it weren't for the locusts falling, Hudson would have almost ignored the past.

Such a small amount of power does not match the name of the "gravity field" at all.

As if sensing his thoughts, Bear Stearns said angrily: "Can you do your best to deal with a group of small bugs?"

What's more, there is also you, a contractual partner. In case I accidentally squeeze you into a pulp, who cares about my ......"

As if aware of the gaffe, Bear Stearns swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Bragging, that's all.

In case the long-term meal ticket is stimulated, and you go back and nibble on the black and hard iron lump bread, it is not the life of a bear.

A partner who can manage food and help it improve its strength is not so easy to find.

Except for being a little weaker, in other respects, Hudson's partner fully meets the Bears' requirements.

"Don't give me nonsense here, who doesn't know what kind of bear you are? There are still a lot of annoying bugs, so come with me to patrol the defense area. ”

As he spoke, Hudson was already on the bear's back.

Obviously, he was already immune to Bear Stearns' bragging.

Theoretically, Bear Stearns has indeed awakened all of the Earth Bear's talents. It's just that the power is a bit hard to describe.

In the field of gravity, if the range of the application is compressed to a few meters, it may be possible to take Hudson away.

After the range of the cast is expanded, it can fall the locusts, which is good.

At the very least, Hudson saw a lot of bugs struggling after hitting the ground, and then falling again.

If it can be solved at one time, with this style of pretending to be forced, this situation will definitely not occur.

But to be able to drop the locusts, that would be enough. Occasionally, there are fish that slip through the net, and it doesn't hurt.

It's a pity that there are only so many Earth Bears, there must be dozens of them. When he was released in front of the army of locusts, not a single locust could leave alive.

Riding on the back of a bear in Bear Stearns, patrolling his own defense area all the way, the locust armies along the way landed one after another, and one person and one bear instantly became the most beautiful scenery on the battlefield.

A preliminary estimate of Bear Stearns' gravitational sphere of influence surprised Hudson.

Not a single locust could fly within a mile radius. Most of the locusts, after receiving a sudden blow, are over-the-top after two flutters.

Even if you pick up a worm life, it will be quickly made up by the serf army, and the arrangement is clear.

Farther up, the emaciated locusts will fall, and the stronger locusts will be able to hold out.

In short, the closer you get to the cubs, the more miserable the locusts become. It takes more than two or three miles to completely get rid of the influence of gravity.

The brilliant record made Hudson want to ride the bear cub to the locust army for a lap. Just by collecting and releasing the gravity field and tossing it a few times, it can strangle the locusts in the area covered by the field.

In terms of pest control efficiency, this is more efficient and environmentally friendly than any pesticide. No matter how large the army of locusts is, it can be tossed and laid down.

It was only when he remembered the purpose of this time that Hudson finally suppressed this tempting thought. After such a toss, the army of locusts was dispersed, but the culprit of the insect king also followed.

For a race like locusts, which reproduces at an unbelievable rate, as long as there is a king of locusts alive, it will not be long before there is an army of locusts.

Become the insect king of Warcraft, but your lifespan and wisdom will be increased.

If they are left to live in the world for a longer period of time, their IQ level may be able to catch up with that of humans. When the time comes, it will be more and more difficult to deal with.

If you toss for a long time, the Worm King who has absorbed a large amount of calamity will have a chance to advance to become the Worm Emperor.

It has developed to the stage of the Insect Emperor, and the destructive power of the locust army has reached the level of destruction.

The best way to deal with it is to find the insect king and immediately use thunder to kill it, so as not to give it a chance to set off a locust plague.

At this point, the army of locusts has formed a scale, and it is even more important to kill the insect king.

According to the news from the Governor's Palace, there were slightly more insect kings in this locust plague. Several neighboring provinces have hunted and killed many insect kings, but the insect swarm army has not dispersed.

Now Wang Du has ordered to catch it alive as much as possible, and it is obvious that there are more stories behind this locust plague.

Hudson, who didn't want to get angry, didn't dare to ruin the bigwigs' plans to catch insects at such a juncture.

The locust extermination war continues, and it is not only the Earth Bear that is in the limelight on the battlefield, although other demonic beasts are not so easy, but they also bring wonderful performances to everyone.

Earl Pierce's Flame Lion, which is equivalent to the saliva of magma, is a flamethrower when it is spewed out.

Dozens of meters of flames, the fragrance of roasted locusts, can float out for miles. Looking at the army of serfs, it was drooling.

If it weren't for the noble lords who witnessed all this, they repeatedly insisted that locusts should not be eaten. I guess I can't help but go up and taste these guys.

Hudson's most displeasing Wizard Yuri was also a smash performer on the battlefield. Not only does he have a magic array dedicated to locusts, but his Monster mount is also surprisingly performing.

Even though everyone plugged their ears, their scalps were tingling with the strange screams.

The "Sound Splitting Beast" that specializes in making noise, its most powerful talent is to make noise, and its strongest attack move is also noise.

It is famous throughout the continent of Aslant for its strong noise.

The most fair evaluation of the cry of the "Splitting Beast" from the outside world is: those who smell it can't wait to pick its skin; Listener; I can't wait to crush it to ashes.

Not only is it notorious in the human world, but it is also disgusted by beasts in the World of Warcraft. The concrete manifestation is this: after hearing the cry of the Ripper Beast from afar, Bear Stearns wants to go over and hammer it.

Hudson approved of the move, but he eventually restrained his emotions. After all, they are still teammates now, and they can't kill each other and let the locusts see the jokes.

It is estimated that there are many Warcraft with similar performance, who let this product make a big move, and I will be entertained together regardless of the enemy.

A pit is a pit, but the power of sonic power is really powerful. Anyway, after such a sudden visit, the dense army of locusts in Hudson's sight was all gone.

The most legendary thing is that two Worm King warriors rushed out of the locust army and ran directly to duel with the "Sound Splitter". The result was naturally to help the aristocratic camp achieve zero breakthroughs.

Stunned the enemy, the power of the noise attack can be imagined. It is a pity that he killed a thousand enemies, and he also lost five hundred.

Not to mention the serfs who fell to the ground and wailed and cried, even a strong-willed man like Hudson was constantly rubbing his ears.

This is still a long distance between the two sides, close colleagues, and they don't know how badly they have been pitted.

If someone insists on going their own way and refuses to plug their ears to remind them, it is estimated that the feeling is absolutely sour now.

Frankly speaking, it is a miracle that such a hateful demonic beast has not been exterminated until now.

Now Hudson somewhat understands Magister Ully, and it is understandable that he is suffering from mental problems when dealing with such a magical beast every day.

Afraid of comparisons in everything, looking at a group of alternative monsters, vying to be the first to perform, Hudson suddenly felt that Bear Stearns was really good.

Although lazy, some love to brag, rude and uneducated...... But generally bearable.

If it was replaced by a Cracked Sound Beast, when he was in a bad mood, Hudson suddenly came to such a voice, and Hudson did not dare to guarantee that he would not kill it.

Fortunately, the ultimate of "Splitting Sound Beast" has a limit, and after doing this ticket, it needs to rest for so many days. Otherwise, let it keep tossing, Hudson was very afraid that he would not be able to help but run away.

The black dots that appeared on the horizon pulled Hudson back from his thoughts. I have to admit that the army of locusts is determined and dares to continue to come over after being so tormented.

If he had stayed in the normal army and understood that the front was so terrible, I am afraid that he would have scattered and fled long ago.

"Bear Stearns, you've seen the Worm King too. Keep an eye on it.

It's hard to come out for a trip, and you can't let the credit be robbed by others. If it spreads, it will also disgrace your Earth Bears. ”

Hudson vigorously agitated the bear's heart.

But Bear Stearns didn't buy it, but turned his head to look at him, and stretched out a huge bear paw to signal - divide the account.

It's not a good thing to have a high IQ, Bear Stearns is not an ordinary good at accounting, and even learned to read the account book in order not to be cheated.

Glancing into the distance, Hudson spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, two one adds five." We will give you half of all the proceeds, and we will definitely not treat you badly! ”

Looking at the immovable bear paw, he knew that this Fang Eucalyptus had not been recognized by the cub.

Their own bears are getting worse and worse. Hudson was very helpless, who would have thought that this lazy thing would grow so fast.

"Alright, the bounty of one thousand gold coins is yours too. Don't be in a hurry to refuse, although you will do your best to catch the insect king next.

But this deal, but I came forward to do the next. The follow-up reward will also have to be negotiated with others.

Each insect king lets you take an extra thousand gold coins, which is interesting enough. If I ask for more, won't I be working in vain?

Think about it, a thousand gold coins can buy hundreds of sheep, and you can produce milk every day......"

There's nothing that can't be linked to animal milk, and once the unit of measurement is converted, the cub's brain circuitry changes.

This time was no exception. Bear Stearns, who began to calculate how many sheep and cattle he could exchange, quickly withdrew his paws, turned his head, and set his eyes on the army of locusts.

The hot eyes made people scared when they saw it. It was as if what was in front of it was not an army of locusts, but a basin of animal milk with honey.
