Mikros listened carefully to every word the other party said, etched it in his heart, dealing with monster forces, that is a huge risk, because they act in a variety of styles, and there are no moral constraints, and it is not too common to go back on their word.

And what is more troublesome than dealing with monster forces is the monster forces ruled by a giant dragon, an evil colored dragon, most of them have a character similar to that dragon, greedy, perverse and powerful, and also have all kinds of taboos, if you can avoid these, the success rate will naturally increase significantly.

"Thank you for your help, Lord General, we in Sambia remember this kindness of your Excellency, this is a little bit of our heart from the Serkik family, with this token, you can withdraw 100,000 cash in any Chamber of Commerce in Sambia." Mikrus shoved a palm-sized metal token to Goust, with a faint magical aura on it, apparently with a mage mark that belonged to a powerful mage, to prevent counterfeiting.

"This gadget is handy and can be used just in case, so I'm welcome." Gost did not refuse this time, and directly stuffed the metal token into his pocket.

This kind of metal token is not only available to Sambian merchants, but also to the Santalin Chamber of Commerce, which is completely based on their huge economic base and business network, but the number of such things is not much, after all, every time it is used, it is a great load on the liquidity of the Chamber of Commerce, unless there are people who will make significant contributions to Sambia or Santalin.

Even at the level of Gost, I have only seen it before, but I have never had the opportunity to get it.

If he threw 100,000 cash in front of him, Gost might not even blink an eyelid, but if it was this kind of cash exchange order, he would have to collect it as a treasure.

"Time waits for no one, and if there is nothing else, I will go first." Mikros took the initiative to resign, the army of the conquerors had already marched into the Goblin Frontier, and at the speed of their march, it would not take more than three days to reach the vicinity of Thun Marsh, and his time was very tight.

"Then I hope you won't be a snack for the Lizard Queen." Goust's blessing is full of black humor.

"Thank you." Mikros didn't even return to the Dark Keep, and the teleportation ring in his hand disappeared in a magical aura.

He had come to the Dark Citadel to fight the front, and if all went well, the gifts and support from Sambia would have been in place, so there was no need for that now.

Before the magical aura transmitted by Mikrus dissipated, the magical aura transmitted from it flickered, and a handsome middle-aged man in an old-fashioned black mage robe appeared beside Gost.

"Lord of the Castle." Gost was not surprised, bowed, and respectfully presented the cash exchange order that Mikros had just stuffed him, "This is his bribe." ”

"You take it, this is the prize for this mission." Xi Manmeng waved his hand and said, "What should be explained to him?" Nothing is missing, right? ”

Just like Mikros's speculation, this was a play for him from beginning to end, including Simonmon's previous throw-away, otherwise how would he create an opportunity for Gost to talk to him?

More precisely, the game begins with Mikrus arriving at the Dark Castle, where Gost secretly contacts him, in order to lead him to the Lizard Queen of Thun Swamp.

"Thank you, Lord Castle, for your kindness, please rest assured, it was exactly as your lord instructed." Goust's expression was unusually deferential, and he couldn't see his previous dissatisfaction with Simon at all, let alone the ambitious appearance before, as for whether the previous side was disguised or played in his true colors, only he knew.

"Good." Xi Manmeng nodded with satisfaction, and a smile finally appeared on his handsome face, but it was fleeting, "You immediately reorganize the army, our garrison corps of the Dark Fort should not move a single soldier, and gather all the monster tribes that we control and influence to form a monster legion." ”

"This ......" Gost couldn't help but raise a trace of doubt, "Lord Castle, the combat effectiveness of these monster legions is not weak for ordinary people, but for the army of conquerors, I am afraid that it will be difficult to exert their due combat effectiveness, I heard that they are very good at using trucks to form a caravan formation and fight defensive counterattacks, and attacking fortifications has always been the weakness of these monster legions." ”

As an agent of the Dark Intelligence Network in the west, the radiation influence of the Dark Citadel is far farther than ordinary people think.

They are by no means just looking down on the surroundings of the Sunset Mountains and the Gray Observer Mountains, after hundreds of years of operation, their tentacles have already extended to the surrounding major cities, including the major cities in the Dragon Coast, how many of those dark forces are supported by their dark intelligence network, and how many have secretly joined the dark intelligence network, then only Simon himself knows, even Manson does not know, because this is a small network run by Simon himself, this is not a betrayal, It is a normal product of the pyramid development model of the Santarinhui Society, and those capable high-level leaders are outside the big network and have their own small networks, and the two are mutually reinforcing, influencing each other, and closely entangled.

The dark forces of the Dragon Coast have united at an unprecedented rate, ostensibly dominated by Simon's Night Mask, but in private, the Dark Citadel is fueling the flames in order to drive the army of conquerors out of there and affect their development there.

Therefore, the information about the conqueror's army that the dark forces on the Dragon Coast have is clear to the Dark Fortress, and they are also clear about the information they don't know, including the speculation that Mikrus said before, Simon has already come to it half a month ago, when the conqueror's army reached the Giant Plains.

Even the plan agreed upon by the Sambian Business Council had not yet been implemented before it was delivered to Simon Meng's desk.

It is not for nothing that Santarin will be called the Dark Intelligence Network, they are well-informed, and no one dares to say first in Faeron.

Mikros tried to convince Simon with speculation and intelligence, but it was purely a matter of course.

The Troll Kingdom on the Giant's Plains has proved with its own defeat that the Monster Horde alone cannot defeat the army of conquerors.

Not to mention, will the monster army they organized in the Goblin Border Wilderness be as powerful as the Troll Kingdom, and the conqueror army is not the same army on the Giant Plains before, their manpower, material resources, and financial resources have at least doubled on the Dragon Coast.

If you want to defeat such an enemy, you must have an absolute numerical advantage, such as hundreds of thousands of monster troops.

If he were given a few months, Gost was confident that he would be able to do so with the development and operation of the Dark Citadel over the years, and now in just a few days, it would be quite remarkable to be able to organize an army of monsters equal to the number of conquerors' armies.

"Who said we were going to be enemies of the army of the conquerors?" It was not Si Manmon who answered Gost, but a cold female voice, a graceful figure walked out of Xi Manmon's shadow, this is a pure blood moon elf, beautiful appearance, wearing the same black mage robe as Xi Manmon, just by her forced out of the feeling of evening dress, the curved back is completely exposed outside, a wide outer belt with a treasure flash, not only shows her slender waist perfectly, but also makes her chest appear unusually straight, between gestures, What is revealed is not the peculiar leisure and coldness of elves, but the confidence and elegance of human noblewomen.

"I've seen Madame." Gost hurriedly bowed and saluted, "My subordinates are stupid, and I ask Madame to make it clear." ”

Only people like Mikros who don't know the inner workings of the Dark Citadel will regard Gost as the second-in-command of the Dark Keep, and the insiders know that the lady in front of him is the real second person in the Dark Citadel, this person is named Ashmi, nominally a student of Simon Monmon, in fact, he also works as a mistress and dark assistant.

Many tasks that were not suitable for Simon Meng to appear in person were performed by this person, and he was deeply favored by Xi Manmeng.

"The current size of the conqueror's army is so large that even if we intervene in it, the probability of completely defeating it is less than 30%, on the contrary, it will take all our years of operation into it." The glint in Ashmi's eyes was unusually similar to that of Simon Monmon, it was the light of cunning and cunning, "Since there is no way to fight it, we must make full use of their strength to our advantage, and Kurgol and her royal court have a great influence on our layout in the Goblin Frontier Wasteland." ”

"Your Excellency wants to take the opportunity to completely eradicate the Lizard Queen's Court!" It dawned on Gost that he wasn't really stupid because he just didn't react for a while.

"This is the preliminary plan." Ashmi gave you a look that you weren't stupid enough to go home and continued, "It depends on how the situation develops, and we will always be on the side of the victor like the king of war." ”

The implication is that if the dragon gains the upper hand in the war, they will join the battle as allies and together flank the army of conquerors, leaving them in the goblin frontier forever.

If the Lizard Queen's army is defeated, it will be the perfect opportunity for them to slay the dragon, and if she is slaughtered by the army of conquerors, it will be even simpler, and they will simply take over her territory.

"The strategy of the castle lord and his wife is really not comparable to me." "This is indeed the wisest choice, but if the Lizard Queen is really defeated by the army of conquerors, I am afraid that there is no way to penetrate into the swamp of Thun with only those ordinary monster armies." ”

Those who have not been to the swamp can never imagine the danger lurking here, this danger comes from the unique environment here, on the one hand, the bottomless duckweed quagmire is only one of the most well-known, many areas that do not seem to have any danger, once you walk in, you can never get out, and soon become a new corpse there, those non-swamp dwellers do not even know why they died, for many reasons, whether it is suffocation by methane gas, or it may be the plague virus, All swamps are natural breeding grounds for new viruses.

As for the hunters lurking in the swamps, there are only a few, and most of them don't know what the enemy is until they die, because they tend to lurk in the water or mud, and even the mosquitoes and flies here are more ferocious than in ordinary areas, and when they swarm at a creature, it is basically not far from turning into a corpse that has been drained of blood.

"The castle lord has thought of this a long time ago." Ashmi gave Siman a reverent look and said, "I have just returned from the Swamp of the High Sea, and I have reached a strategic agreement with the Ghost Woman Gathering there, and once the Lizard Queen's court collapses, they will send their army to assist us and help us seize ownership of the Thun Swamp." ”

There are two swamps in the Goblin Wasteland, which are true sisters, because they come from the same source, both are formed by the mountains that surround the area and the abundant groundwater, and both are connected by the River of the Borderlands.

Originally, the open sea swamp was far larger than the Thun marsh, but due to the erosion of the Enoch Desert from the north, it has shrunk by two-thirds from its peak, and is now less than half the size of the Thun marsh.

Although the two are less than 100 kilometers apart, they have their own belongings, and the relationship is very tense.

The Lizard Queen has been trying to bring the Swamps of the High Sea into her dominion, and is said to be looking for a powerful magic that will sink the land in between the two, making the two swamps one together.

But in the swamp of the far sea, there is a gathering of legendary ghost women, who have existed for a long time, which is said to be older than the formation of the Thun swamp, and they have absolute control here, which makes the always high-profile and domineering lizard queen only dare to hatch a conspiracy, but do not really put it into action.

Only three ghost women of different races gather together, can it be called an assembly, in view of the treacherous, selfish and manipulative nature of the ghost woman, only the ghost woman with equal strength can form an assembly, otherwise it is a unilateral control and manipulation, it should be called the ghost woman queen, not the ghost woman assembly, the legendary ghost woman assembly means that it is composed of at least three quasi-legendary ghost women - the ghost woman assembly is not just a name, but can gather the power of the ghost woman to form a more powerful force, Together, the three quasi-legendary ghost women have a power comparable to that of a legend.

As for the gathering of three legendary ghost women who are all legendary ghost women, it is not absent in this world, but it is not something that can be accommodated by an open sea swamp, even if they do not expand their influence out of the goblin border wasteland, it is impossible for an elderly black dragon to set up a queen in the Thun swamp, and this place has long been included in their rule.

"The Ghost Woman Gathering in the Swamps of the Far Sea?" Gost seemed to remember some kind of bad memory, and his cheeks twitched involuntarily, "All the ghost women are evil and cruel bastards, every word they say, every promise carries a deadly poison, once they believe their promise, they are not far from destruction." ”

Ghost women are a kind of title, they resemble human dry thin women, in fact, they are not, they are actually the same as Yaling, they belong to the spirit class, originated from the fairy wilderness, but they represent the evil side of the fairy wilderness, but their number in the material plane has far exceeded that of the fairy wilderness, especially the swamp is their favorite living environment, not simply because this high-risk environment can provide them with shelter, so that they are not easy to suffer from the crusade of good forces.

It is also related to their filthy nature, they naturally like things related to death, all kinds of bones, minced meat and filthy items, are their love, including the mud of the swamp, typical is ugly as beauty, so they have an inner disgust for the beauty in the world, so they always help other creatures destroy or change their beautiful appearance, but many ghost women often disguise themselves as beauty masters, advertising that they can help the world to stay for a long time, attracting those stupid beautiful women to take the initiative to come to the door, They soon discover that their goal has indeed been achieved, but that this beauty is not based on her standards, but on the ghost woman's - which means that they will live forever with their ugly and surprising faces.

This is just one of their many evils, and there are many worse than them.

"We don't need to believe in the promises of these ghost women, we just need to believe in their ambitions." Xi Manmeng confided his intentions a little and said, "The most troublesome thing about these swamp forces is not how powerful they are, but that they are cowering in the swamp and refuse to come out, the lizard queen of Thun Swamp is like this, and the ghost woman assembly of the far sea swamp is the same, as long as there are enough interests to attract them out of the swamp, we will have the opportunity to give them a heavy blow, when their power is greatly damaged, and their control over the swamp is greatly reduced, we will have the opportunity to win over our own swamp forces from it, and then slowly encroach on them, bring them under our rule. ”

it!

The emotional connection with the ghost women of the far sea swamp is fake, and it is true that they were deceived from the far sea swamp under the pretext of plotting the lizard queen's legacy.

And the monster tribe that he prepared will attack these ghost women when the time comes.

This conspiracy is simply a link and a link, no, this is a web of conspiracy, this net has caught the lizard queen, the army of conquerors, the gathering of ghosts of the far sea, and the sniper plans of the Sambian merchants.

It doesn't take all of them to succeed, even one or two of them will greatly expand the influence of the Dark Keep here.

The most important thing is that their Dark Fortress has always been on the side of the god of war, no matter how the forces above this web of intrigue fight to the death, they will only succeed and will not fail, it is only a matter of the size of their success.
