Chapter 340: Black Teeth, White Claws, Empire Strife

"The Blacktooth Empire has finally retreated, and the empire is powerless, and it has to lose several times a year." An old lizardman with whitish scales munched on dried mushrooms, squinting his eyes in enjoyment.

The mushroom has some sort of soothing effect, and it also stimulates the elemental bloodline.

"Yes, but we still have to trust the Empire." Wang Linchi responded with a sentence.

This was his third day in the second layer, and he had managed to infiltrate a small town on the edge of the Lizardman Empire.

The Lizardmen now have two empires, one is the Blacktooth Empire and the other is the Whiteclaw Empire.

The empire that Wang Linchi was in at this time was the White Claw Empire.

There was no need to worry about camouflage, he skinned the skin and bones of a lizardman, put a layer of camouflage similar to a mechanical leather case on himself, and after learning the lizardman's writing, language and customs, he easily managed to blend in.

To say that the two empires of black teeth and white claws, the ancestors used to be from the same source, and it was also the most prosperous era of the lizardmen, an empire of lizardmen called Golden Pupils, which was divided into two because of turmoil.

However, this meat is also rotten in the pot, whether it is black tooth or white claw, the founding princes of the two empires are the royal heirs of the Golden Pupil Empire.

If there is one, the Golden Pupil Empire will continue, and as a result, two will come out at once, which will cause the two lizardman princes to rise up and no one will obey anyone.

Fighting, and the hatred continued.

Wang Linchi also looked at the map, and the second layer of the underground layer was nearly a hundred times smaller than the first layer.

So at present, in the entire second layer, there are only two lizardman empires with black teeth and white claws that are frantically tearing apart.

As for the first level up, the lizardmen didn't notice it at all.

The rapid development of enchantment technology is indispensable for the catalysis of war that continues to this day.

Fortunately, the lizardmen can live, and there is no foreign enemy, otherwise such a large population consumption would have played themselves to death.

Even now, whether the black tooth wins or the white claw wins, the orthodoxy still hasn't changed.

"Believe it, this month's salary hasn't been sent to me yet." The old lizardman scolded.

Most of the people in the border towns are soldiers, after all, they have to deal with the invasion of the enemy, not long ago, they just repelled the attack of the Black Tooth Empire, but the food and silver have not yet arrived, which makes many white claw soldiers fluctuate.

"Tsk, then you can still eat the Phantom God Mushroom." Wang Linchi laughed.

"What can I do if I don't eat, I can't do without it." The old lizardman took another air-dried phantom mushroom from his waist bag and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

Lizardfolk are naturally not carnivores, but omnivores, and their recipes are outrageously wide.

As for the Phantom God Mushroom, it is the source of the weakness of the White Claw Empire, and of course it is also one of the means that can resist the attacks of the Black Tooth Empire.

After the phantom mushroom is dried, it is naturally like Wushi San, which has side effects such as soothing, addiction, and damage to the body, but it can also give the lizardman the ability to fear pain, excitement, and short-term rage, so it is not a contraband in the White Claw Empire, but it is still a military item.

During the war, each lizardman eats ten phantom mushrooms, and when they go into battle, they are like mad dogs.

It's just that these customs have only appeared in the past ten years, and the White Claw Empire ten years ago, whether it was military or economic, was almost the same as the Black Tooth Empire, so the two sides fought back and forth, unlike now they can only defend passively.

Although the current winning rate is much better than before, it is a defensive battle, and if you lose, you will lose the city, plus there are logistical supplies, so it is natural to win more and lose less.

The old lizardman is now injured and sick, and he has to rely on the phantom mushroom to relieve his pain, otherwise if he doesn't eat it, he will not only be addicted, but also uncomfortable.

"I heard you want to go to Claw Cliffs?"

The old lizardman who was chewing the phantom mushroom swallowed the mushroom before asking.

"yes, any suggestions?" Wang Linchi asked.

Claw Cliff, the royal capital of the Whiteclaw Empire, is built on a huge cliff, where the Whiteclaw Empire flourishes.

"That's a good place, do you have any claw coins? If there is it, it is the best place in the world, and if there is not, even the slums are better than the claw cliffs. "The old lizardman seems to have been.

Claw coin, which is the currency of the White Claw Empire, is made of a special metal smelting.

"No, but I'm not here to enjoy it, I'm going to learn the art of enchanting." Wang Linchi said calmly.

Money has never been a problem for Wang Linchi, but he can't say it.

"Enchantment? I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”

"All enchantment skills are in the hands of the White Claw Royalty."

"If the Black Tooth Empire has inherited the smelting skills of the Golden Pupil Empire, then our White Claw has the enchantment skills of the Golden Pupil Empire." The old lizardman was a little proud when he said this.

The weakened Whiteclaw Empire was able to block the attacks of the Blacktooth Empire, and in addition to the Phantom God Mushroom, it was naturally an enchantment skill.

Otherwise, with just one mushroom, no matter how strong it is, it will not be able to inspire equal strength.

It's a pity that the existence of the Phantom God Mushroom is also the reason for the weakening of the White Claw Empire, and there is no one in the whole country, from the princes and nobles to the peddlers and pawns, who do not eat the Phantom God Mushroom.

This led to huge problems internally.

"That's why I'm going to study." Wang Linchi felt that he had really come to the right place.

"What you can't learn, only the royal family can learn." The old lizard shook his head, a pair of lizard eyes were a little confused, this is the phantom mushroom has taken effect, unless the mental power is concentrated, otherwise, he is now in a state of bliss, and his consciousness is beginning to be a little confused.

"I don't know where you're from, but I'm sure it's not from the Blacktooth Empire, because they never cared about our enchantments."

"And they also know that outsiders can't survive under the claw cliff at all, and the nobles in the claw cliff are very repulsive to people from other places."

"It is this arrogance and disdain that makes our enchantment skills as stable as those of the Empire." When the old lizard man said this, he was sarcastic.

"Oh, I see." Of course, Wang Linchi understood what the old lizard man meant, it was nothing more than a stinky place to go to the claw cliff to ask for food, and he was naturally inferior.

It is impossible for the royal family to pass on the art of enchantment to non-royal lizardmen.

Wang Linchi saw one point, that is, it is likely that the enchantment technique has become an assembly line production.

Otherwise, it is to pull the White Claw Emperor in to make screws, which is not enough to consume so much.

The White Claw Empire is small compared to the first layer, but the whole is still very large, at least the size of a province, so if the supply and demand of armaments really only rely on the royal family, there is no way at all, so the biggest possibility is that it has been on the assembly line, otherwise how to produce it in large quantities.

"Then good luck, young man, and I hope that the next time we meet, you will not be a criminal soldier who was escorted by a prisoner car." The old lizardman chuckled.

The sinners are cannon fodder battalions, and the losers after a failed struggle will not necessarily die, but will be exiled to the frontier as cannon fodder to resist the Blacktooth Empire.

Ten years ago, when the Phantom God Mushroom had not yet swept the entire White Claw Empire, there was no such situation, with the erosion over the years, the population has decreased, and the internal intrigue is serious, so every border town will receive a part of the pampered criminal soldiers from time to time.

This kind of criminal soldier dies quickly, consumes quickly, and fortunately, it is also sent quickly.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of me a little more." Wang Linchi didn't care about the other party's words at all, and then got up and prepared to leave: "Phantom mushrooms are not a good thing, let's eat less." ”

"Everyone knows it, but now no one can do without it." The old lizardman muttered.

looked at the phantom mushroom in his waist bag, which was about to bottom, and after hesitating, he finally didn't eat another one.

"The kid who doesn't eat phantom mushrooms is definitely not a white-clawed person."

The old lizardman looked at Wang Linchi's distant back.

Wang Linchi's flaws, he already knew, in his eyes, nine out of nine were spies sent by the Black Tooth Empire, but he didn't care about it, anyway, for him, it was just like that, and he could still give him a phantom mushroom? Instead, he has to let his old bones follow him to chase down.

Even if he catches it, the credit is not his, and he may still fall into it.

Veterans who can be on the border have always had no hope of rising, especially at his age, he has basically cut off the possibility of leaving the border, and any credit will be taken up by the top.

The erosion of the empire is becoming more and more terrifying under the birth of the phantom mushroom.

This time it can defeat the Black Tooth Empire, but next time, it may not be.

After all, the lizardman marshal who had just repelled the attack of the Black Tooth Empire was recalled to Claw Cliff because he did too well, and now his life and death are slim, and the person he got in exchange for is also a straw bag, and he has no skills at all.
