Elena is a person with a decisive personality, and after realizing that the secret base was exposed, whether the battle is fought or not, the Venus family has become a loser. After a little weighing, she immediately chose to leave with the members of the Venus family, not fighting this inevitable war.

Although Elena is gone, there are still many lizardmen in the ruins.

The Lizardmen are the Warcraft combat unit raised by ancient wizards in the Floating City, and they survived after the fall of the Floating City, and gradually multiplied in the swamps, adapting to the environment of the northern frontier.

During the time of the Venus Kingdom, the lizardfolk near the swamps also formed very large tribes and controlled part of the Eagle Mountains.

However, the lizardmen tribe was defeated by the Orc Empire, and the ruins of the Floating City fell into the control of the Orc Empire.

The orc empire's magic level was backward, and he rashly studied the energy control area of the floating city, but as a result, a serious explosion occurred, and even the two legends of the orc empire lost their lives, and the ruins of the floating city were also abandoned by the orc empire.

The lizardmen who remained after the defeat returned to the ruins of the floating city once again and became the owners of the ruins.

Back then, the Orc Empire made a loud explosion in the ruins of the Floating City.

The demon hunting team organized by the Venus family happened to be active in the Eagle Mountains, and after noticing the abnormality, they reported it to the royal capital.

The Venus family is a knowledgeable person, and when they discovered the ruins of the Floating City, they immediately wiped out those who knew about it. Only the core layer of the Venus family has detailed information about the ruins of the floating city.

For hundreds of years, the Venus family has been secretly developing the ruins, collecting almost all the magical materials left behind in the floating city.

The ruins of this floating city have always been a hidden base for the Venus family.

Hundreds of years later, the rule of the Venus family was overthrown by the Grant family, and this hidden base has not been leaked and is still under the control of the Venus family.

As for the lizardmen in the ruins, they have already been reduced to the test subjects of the Venus family.

Count Cloverd, who died in the Eagle Mountains, was lured to the vicinity of the Floating City by the Venus family.

It's just that the Venus family didn't expect that Count Clover would have a very powerful one-time magic prop to summon meteors. Relying on the power of magic props, Clofed escaped from the battlefield by luck, but he didn't expect his contract magic beast to be affected by the dark magic used by Yelena's magic and devoured its owner alive.

This incident also alarmed the high-level of the royal capital at that time.

Pansy Grant led the team into the Eagle Mountains several times to find clues, but unfortunately found nothing.

After all, the Eagle Mountain Range is 1,500 kilometers from east to west and more than 300 kilometers from north to south, such a vast area, even if Pansy Grant is given a hundredfold or a thousand-fold increase in manpower, it is still impossible to find the falling floating city.

The reason why the Tower of Death built the Mage Tower here is also from the sporadic information handed down from ancient times, and it is detected that there is a falling floating city nearby.

Before the members of the Tower of Death could discover the Venus family's secret base, Richard knocked on the door with the priest of the Dawn Church. After an encounter, the Tower of Death was destroyed, and only one of the high-ranking members, Savio, escaped.

The Venus family built this secret base is very hidden, and it would be difficult to find it if it weren't for the Haraland family's development of the swamp basin.

In fact, it is a logical thing for this secret base to be exposed. The reason why this secret base has not been leaked is that it is far away from people is the most critical reason.

During the Venus Dynasty, there were no people here at all, and there were only a few monster hunters in the Eagle Mountains.

During the Grant Dynasty, Duke Breena fought a crucial victory in the southern foothills of the Eagle Mountains, severely crushing the Orc Empire and gaining control of this area, and the Grant Kingdom began to develop the southern foothills of the Eagle Mountains.

As the personnel moved closer to the secret base, it became natural for their tracks to be exposed.

The Venus family has taken control of the ruins of the Floating City, and is not only wary of outsiders, but also fearful of the lizardmen inside the Floating City.

Lizardmen are intelligent beings after all, in order to prevent the lizardmen population from growing and revealing their traces, and in order to avoid the lizardmen from being anti-guest, the Venus family has been strictly controlling the number of lizardmen, so that the scale of the lizardmen has always been within the range of a few hundred people.

In the past two years, because Elena was severely injured by Duke Brynner, the Venus family also slaughtered some lizardmen, strengthening their control over the lizardmen.

In order to prevent the lizardmen from getting out of control, the Venus family also used a special alchemy prop to control more than 300 lizardmen in the secret base.

The lizardman is not weak in combat, especially in the jungle, it is very flexible, and it is a natural jungle special forces.

Many lizardfolk have a special skill chameleon, which can change their color and make themselves perfect for the jungle environment.

Even professional soldiers are vulnerable to being attacked by ordinary lizardmen in the jungle and lose their lives.

Because they are good at jungle warfare, even the powerful Divine Radiance Empire is still difficult to defeat the lizardmen in the jungle.

On the contrary, the elves of the Eastern Continent, because they have lived in the jungle since they were children, are good at jungle warfare, and their five senses surpass that of humans, and they can always see through the camouflage of the lizardmen in advance, and they are very restrained by the lizardmen.

Although the number of elves is small, it still constantly compresses the environment in which the lizardmen live. The lizardmen of the Eastern Continent can only survive humbly by hiding in areas with harsh environments and bowing down to the elves.

In the winter in the north, everywhere is bare, coupled with the swampy terrain, there is no tree to cover it, the lizardman color-changing skill has lost most of its effect, and in the face of the Harland territory elf soldiers who have entered the ruins, the lizardman can only fight to the death.

Lizardmen are adept at using blow arrows, which can be smeared with poison, and in jungle warfare, lizardmen's blow arrows are a weapon that human soldiers talk about.

But when it comes to positional warfare with real swords and guns, the range of blowing arrows is far less than that of a strong bow and crossbow.

The soldiers of the first brigade shot hundreds of lizardmen in two rounds of feathered arrows.

Lizardfolk are intelligent beings, and it is the nature of intelligent beings to fear death.

After only two rounds of feathered arrows, the lizardmen completely dispersed and fled back to the ruins of the ruins of the floating city.

There were no casualties in the defeat of the lizardmen, but the surprise attack of the lizardmen caused some problems for the soldiers of Haraland's territory during the dragnet search.

Of these more than 300 lizardmen, there were actually four monitor lizards in captivity.

Monitor lizards have a simple mind, but they are very strong, they rely on genes to identify their own kind, except for lizardmen with the same genes, all other creatures are considered enemies.

Even the people of the Venus family were once accidentally attacked by monitor lizards and lost their lives.

The combat power of each adult monitor lizard is equivalent to that of a high-level demonic beast, but it is a pity that this demonic beast cannot be domesticated and cannot communicate.

Although the combat effectiveness of the monitor lizard is not weak, it is far from being an opponent compared to the size of the army, only a dozen casualties, and four monitor lizards died at the hands of the elite soldiers in Haaland's territory.

At that time, the army of Haaland's territory hunted the bipedal wyvern and suffered more than 30 casualties.

Now the quality of the army in Haaland's territory has been greatly improved, a squadron has at least five professionals, and the first squadron is a backbone force, with more than 20 professionals, and its weapons and equipment have been comprehensively improved.

Alchemy bombs, enchanted armor, and large quantities of equipment armies, even high-ranking knights can hardly compete with a squadron alone.

Although the monitor lizard is very powerful, it does not form a scale advantage, and it cannot defeat the human elite soldiers at all.

Soon the four monitor lizards were killed by the soldiers, and the materials on their bodies were reduced to high-grade trophies.

The dragon's teeth are very sharp, and like its claws, they are high-grade magic materials that can be used as enchanted weapons.

Although the skin of monitor lizards is not as good as wurm skin, it can also be made into enchanted armor. Because of the special material, the skin of the monitor lizard can also be painted with a ring of magic to change the color, and make a special magic equipment color-changing armor for scouts who enter the jungle.

Because the monitor lizard is very large, the skin on one monitor lizard can be made into more than twenty pieces of armor, and the skin on four monitor lizards is enough to arm a squadron of soldiers.

The internal organs of monitor lizards can be used to refine the Elixir of Radiance, and the blood can be used to treat diseases.

In short, not counting the portal of the windfall harvest of the floating city, just hunting four monitor lizards is worth the trip.

Richard led the soldiers to the vicinity of the portal, he carefully studied the runes of the portal, and instructed the soldiers to dismantle the portal completely, preparing to transform it and install it in the mage tower.

As for the lizardmen in captivity of the Venus family, because they have been controlled by the Venus family for many years, they have signed a magic contract, Richard didn't dare to trust it at all, and they were all slaughtered by the soldiers.

After killing the lizardmen, Richard still felt threatened, but the threat had lessened.

Because the enemy left in a hurry, many supplies were too late to be collected.

Richard searched roughly and found sixty boxes of silver coins, fifteen boxes of gold coins, and two boxes of standard magic crystals.

The standard magic crystal is only the size of a thumb, about three millimeters thick, and oval in shape.

Magic crystals are crystals that gather magical energy, and they are very important in magical civilizations, and generally speaking, a standard magic crystal is worth about ten gold coins.

A box of standard magic crystals is worth 10,000 gold coins, and the magic crystals plus gold and silver coins add up to 40,000 gold coins.

In addition to coins, Richard also found a batch of enchanted equipment in the ruins of the Floating City, including swords, armor, bows and crossbows, which could equip 2,000 elite soldiers.

These weapons were all loaded into the Starlight Vial by Richard to arm the soldiers of Haaland's territory.

The more important harvest is the magic book left by the Venus family, magic materials.

This part of the magic books makes up for the shortcomings of the Harland Mage Association.

In particular, the Venus family's perception of magic energy is quite unique.

The Venus family has occupied the ruins of the Floating City for more than a thousand years, and although they can't read the ancient wizard script, they have studied the magic energy very deeply by studying the ruins of the Floating City's energy control area, and even used the materials left by the Floating City's energy area to build a small magic well.

For the magical civilization of the Dawn Plane, the magic well is the core of the magical civilization.

The vast majority of the world's magic wells are naturally generated by elemental tides.

Artificially manufactured magic wells generally rely on the magic core of the legendary Warcraft as the core, and are limited by the total amount of magic energy stored by the legendary Warcraft magic core, the magic power well provided by the magic tower magic well is relatively small, and it is not as good as the small magic well that is naturally generated.

Normally, the magic energy stored in the magic tower can also release ten four-ring magic.

In the ruins of the Floating City, the Venus family's magicians have researched and innovated, using the Floating City's spare elemental furnace to transform into a magic well, which provides a lot more magic power than the legendary fourth-order Warcraft core. The magic energy it can provide is comparable to that of a naturally generated mana well.

The creation of the Elemental Forge is very complex, far beyond the level of magical civilization in the Dawn Plane.

The internal structure of the Elemental Furnace is simply not understood by the Venus family.

Even in the wizarding era, the floating city was a very high-end magical wonder, and only a very powerful wizarding organization had the ability to build a starfleet and a floating city.

And the Elemental Furnace, the Eternal Furnace, and the Energy Furnace are all the cores of Starfleet and Floating City, representing the most advanced civilization crystallization of the wizarding era.

Without a strong foundation in magical science, even throwing the Elemental Furnace to the Venus family is equivalent to giving an interstellar engine to primitives.

It took the Venus family a thousand years, but they only researched some fur, and without the great development of magical science, it would be impossible to create an elemental furnace and lift the city into the air.

After discovering the ruins of the Floating City, it was impossible for Richard to kill all those who knew about it and keep the secrets of the ruins of the Floating City like the Venus family.

First, Richard's three views were not so extreme that he was not allowed to do such a thing, and second, the Grant family was not strong enough, and it was difficult to rely on a few family members to develop the relics. Thirdly, there were too many people to discover the ruins, and it was impossible for Richard to cut off his legs and kill the elite soldiers in the territory himself.

There are many people, even though Richard repeatedly emphasized the discipline of secrecy and issued a military order for secrecy very seriously.

The leakage of the ruins of this floating city is already an inevitable thing.

Fortunately, there is a strict ban on movement in Haaland's territory, and there is almost no movement of people.

Soldiers also know the importance of secrecy, and will not casually tell outsiders that it should be possible to keep it secret for a few years.

The only thing Richard could do was to postpone the leak of the ruins of the Floating City and try to build up his strength during this time.

At that time, even if the secret is leaked, as long as you have the strength in your hands, you can resist those who peep into the territory, and at least you can get a piece of the pie.

Among the ruins of the Floating City, the Venus family built a hidden mage tower.

This mage tower is an underground mage tower with a total of six floors.

Because it is built underground, this mage tower is very secretive, unless someone guides you, it is difficult to find the entrance gate of the mage tower even if you are near the mage tower.

Inside the Mage Tower, there is also an inscription on the six-ring magic array of Firestorm.

The lethality of the magic array inside the mage tower mainly depends on the strength of the energy of the mage tower.

If the internal energy of the mage tower is strong, even if it emits a group ring of magic, the lethality is extremely amazing, and if there is no energy, the legendary magic is not lethal.
