Although the war is over, it will take some time to clean up. During the recovery of the loot, Richard's men and the Baron's men had a small confrontation, as Richard wanted all the corpses of the Bear Knight.

Of course, the apparent dispute between the two sides was over the heavy and sturdy armor weapons, although they were not of much value to Richard. Just like when he came, powerful magical equipment always had to pay a huge price to pass through the dimensional passages, so the equipment of the Bear Rider was just thick and strong. It's just that Richard can't be too obvious enough to ask for a corpse after being stripped of equipment.

Eventually, the minor dispute was resolved by Richard paying a sum of gold.

Later, Richard recovered about fifty remnants of the Bear Rider's body, which could be reused with minor repairs. It would be a great fortune, and the gold coins Richard had paid were nothing compared to it. If it weren't for the dispute, Richard would have considered leaving a few structures for the Baron's family. However, since the baron's bones were still cold, the family members immediately expressed hostility, and Richard certainly would not arm himself with potential enemies in the future.

This is a special aspect of the Faro plane, where ancestor worship and belief in true gods have always been incompatible.

After many attempts, Sandru was frustrated to find that the Bear Rider himself was over-cultivated to the point that his soul was incomplete and could not be used by the necromancer. This made Richard feel sorry for him, but also wary of the Schumpeter family. To be able to breed a species with an incomplete soul definitely requires hundreds of years of accumulation. In this way, the Schumpeter family may have a much deeper heritage than it seems.

Eventually, the bodies of the Bear Knight and the Pony were handed over to the brood. Although the brood has not yet digested Sinclair's body, she asks Richard for the corpses of the Bear Rider and the Pony. By this time, Richard had already understood that a creature with great strength could be beneficial to the growth and evolution of the brood.

Under Gonde's command, the able-bodied barbarian warriors carried the corpses of the Bear Knights and threw them into the acid mist of the brood. And what happened in the fog, no one could see.

When the day was fully lit, the damage was counted. Originally, the combined forces of Richard and Baron Fontaine amounted to more than 1,500 men, but now there are less than 400 left. There were only a hundred sand people and barbarian warriors left under Richard's command, but the most heart-wrenching thing for him was that all the knights in the infantry were killed, and only two knights survived. Of the more than four hundred, only one hundred and ten were left, and more than a hundred of them died in the mouth of the manticore.

This battle was a complete defeat, and if the luck was a little worse, and something went wrong with Splash and Gangde, then Richard really felt that the gains outweighed the losses.

After taking stock, Richard found that his strength was very badly damaged, and if he wanted to replenish his strength with speed, he could only look at the evolution of the brood.

After the battlefield was cleared, Richard ordered all the soldiers under his command to withdraw from the Dusk Castle and settle down in the barracks outside the city, even the wounded soldiers were taken out.

With Cass, a fallen priest, sharing a lot of the burden for quicksand. Fallen Priests' healing abilities are greatly limited, but they can also use Scrolls of Magic. And quicksand seems to have a premonition that there will be a tragic battle, and has successively stockpiled a batch of low-level healing scrolls, light injury treatment, slight injury treatment, which seems to have a weak effect, but in the face of a large number of wounded soldiers, immediately stabilize the injury, and then slowly treat it is a good way to maximize the retention of strength.

Only the tumbling acid mist in the center of the battlefield lingered.

When night fell again, the brood finally contacted Richard, and after passing on a lot of information, she strongly asked Richard to come and see her. Because there is a special unit whose details still need to be decided by Richard.

Richard is a little strange, the brood has never made similar requests, the previous promotions and the selection of new functions can be completed through guò soul communication, he is standing next to the brood, and he still has to rely on soul power to communicate. Because the brood can't speak.

So Richard put on his clothes and walked to the brood of the battlefield. Taking advantage of the short time he was on the road, Richard quickly analyzed the information transmitted by the brood, and then couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

The Manticore, Sinclaire, Bear Rider, Pony, and even Sinclaire's short knife with armor-piercing and annihilation attributes have all taken the evolution of the brood a big step forward. Now that the brood has jumped directly to the fourth order, there are more than a dozen evolution options to choose from.

Poisonous, the most threatening attribute of the manticore, is indeed inherited by the brood. After that, all combat units can be inflicted with toxins, and if they are ranged attacks in the form of matter, such as stabbing needles and bone arrows, they can also be inflicted poison damage. In addition, the Brood's own acid properties are also manifested, which can now be used to add acid spitting abilities to combat units. Even the most common Velocitron is exponentially more dangerous when it gains its poison ability.

The main role of the Bear Rider is to provide nutrients for the evolution of the brood, and there is only one additional ability that can be obtained from them, and that is to be strong. Units with this ability will gain around 20% additional defense. A very useful, but not very outstanding, but after all, it gives Richard more options.

At the same time, a class of grenadiers was added to combat units. It is a humanoid creature, similar to cavemen and dwarves, with a short body and quick movements, as well as adapting to complex terrains such as mountains and woodlands. Their weapons are various throwing weapons, such as flaky bone armor that grows from their backs. The Grenadier's bone armor is similar in shape to the axe, and although it has a range of less than 100 meters, it is as powerful as a human crossbow and can be inflicted with poison. The last item more than doubles the power of the Bone Axe, but each Thrower can only grow one Bone Axe per day, and can only keep three Bone Axes at the same time. Once the bone axe is removed, the poison on the face will be deactivated within a few minutes.

However, Richard was more concerned that the Grenadiers were the first humanoid combat unit, and the first class to wield weapons. In addition to their own bone axes, they can also use a variety of throwing axes, throwing spears, and even stones, but they are much less powerful.

Once the Thrower is on a large scale, it will be incredibly powerful. Richard's mind even flashed through several battle formation plans that were used with ranged attack magic.

The brood itself also has several enhancement options, including speed, defense, mental shock range, and so on. Having seen the power of a volley of wind fangs and blades, Richard decided to strengthen the core ability of the brood, which is to create a Zào combat unit.

One increase in the number of combat units created per day was naturally mandatory, and another ability caught Richard's attention: a 20% increase in feed speed, range, and energy reserves. It's easy to understand the increase in eating speed and energy reserves, but what does it mean to increase the eating range by 20%?

But the brood itself can't tell what it is, because this information was stored in the depths of the zài's soul when it was still in the seed stage, and now it is only gradually released as it grows.
