It's not appropriate to call this swamp a black soil swamp, because the swamp is full of ancient trees that block out the sun. The trees here are much taller than the Spirit Vein Forest... so high that when you look up, you will see a kind of building made of trees.
illusion.
Under the huge ancient trees is a muddy swamp, and there are unknown dangerous monsters living under the swamp.
But even this kind of swamp has some flat land and normal roads suitable for reclamation. The Wasp Knight and Wolf Knight jumped on the ancient branches and trunks of the swamp and moved forward quickly.
They set off directly from the Spirit Vein Forest, riding on the best flying mounts in the village sent by Jiang Qiao, risking being chased by a bunch of flying lord-level monsters, and crossed the Crystal Land all the way to the other side of the Crystal Land.
Side of black soil swamp.
It took about two hours to travel, and now the Hornet Knight and the Wolf Knight were walking on the ancient branches in the black soil swamp, searching for... lord-level monsters suitable to be driven away.
The Wasp Knight felt a little uneasy today, because today was the first time she communicated with the Wolf Knight who had gradually recovered her self-awareness.
"Ulysses...has your memory recovered a little now?" Wasp Knight asked Wolf Knight while jumping on the trees.
It was only last week that the Wolf Knight gradually recovered himself, but the memory of the Wolf Knight was obviously damaged by that corrosive force. Now the Wolf Knight can only barely recall who he is, but all the memories of getting along with the five knights are gone.
They are all in a state of forgetfulness.
I remember his cooking skills and fighting instincts very clearly.
"Troy...I'm sorry, I can't remember what you said. My memory only stays in being loyal to Queen May."
There was an apology in the Wolf Knight's voice. These things were secrets that they would not discuss in front of others and only belonged to the two of them.
"It doesn't matter, I am confident that you will fall in love with me a second time."
When the Hornet Knight was saying this, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, and the Wolf Knight also stopped her steps in a tacit understanding and crouched down.
The Black Earth Swamp is the second smallest of the seven areas on Brand Island, the smallest being the Crystallized Land in the center.
At the speed of the Wasp Knight and Wolf Knight, they could see the beach area outside the ancient tree forest of the Black Soil Swamp in the blink of an eye.
This area is the most fertile area of the black soil swamp... On the other side of the beach is a flat fertile soil, and on this fertile soil... a small town has been established at some point.
"Town? The agent didn't tell us that there are still aborigines here." The Hornet Knight crouched on the branches of the ancient tree and looked at the town under construction below.
This town seemed to have been created out of thin air. It was very large. The number of people in the town was estimated by Hornet Knight to be two hundred people walking up.
But the clothes of the people in the town are very uniform, all wearing pure white prison uniforms... Several soldiers in armor scolded those wearing prison uniforms to go to work in the town.
On the surface, it looks like a town where slaves live, but the residents wearing prison uniforms have no shackles on them.
"You should feel lucky! You should have been sent to the gallows when you were infected by the plague of crystal disease, but the empire gave you a chance to live! This island is free for you to develop, and these buildings caused by miracles will also be
Belongs to you!"
The leading soldier stood at the highest point in the town and shouted to the residents wearing prison uniforms below.
The Wolf Knight wanted to lightly touch the Hornet Knight's shoulder, but his hand was directly held by the Hornet Knight.
"I saw it, this is my job." The Hornet Knight knew what the Wolf Knight wanted to remind him.
On the far side of the coastline... there are three ships made of steel. These three ships are not warships, but ships used to transport personnel.
Groups of prisoners were transported from these three giant steel battleships to the outskirts of the black soil swamp of Brand Island.
The Wolf Knight did not answer the Wasp Knight, and handed the Wasp Knight a book. This book was the novice tutorial that Queen May used before, and the Wolf Knight directly turned the novice tutorial to the page of the Bland Island projection.
.
"Regional assimilation value... This is an index that agents care about." Hornet Knight glanced at the assimilation value of Brand Island.
Ever since this unknown country's army led a group of people infected with crystal disease to land on the island, the assimilation value in the black soil swamp area instantly rose to fifteen.
"Perhaps we can kill them all?" Hornet Knight thought about the countermeasures. Although she would not be as close to Jiang Qiao as Queen Mei, she would still listen to some of what Jiang Qiao said.
For example, in the two main missions of Brand Island, Queen May ordered the Hornet Knight to assist the Holy Spirits in completing them, and the Hornet Knight will help.
Killing all the crystal disease-infected people in this town now is undoubtedly... helping the Holy Spirits complete the second assimilation value task.
The Wolf Knight shook his head and pointed at the sculptures erected one after another in the town. These statues were all raised from the ground.
This scene caused those infected with the crystal disease to kneel on the ground and shout for miracles.
"Remember! It is not any god in this world who saves you, but all the gods, the Mother of the Earth, the God of War, the Goddess of Shadows, the God of the Sun, the God of Flowing Water, the God of Dark Flame... whatever you revere.
A god will give you gifts to live comfortably on this island. Disasters, hunger, and cold will have nothing to do with you as long as you are pious enough."
The leading soldier shouted, and the crystal disease-infected people who had received food and clothing knelt on the ground and prayed to a certain god, even if they did not believe in God.
This is definitely the best outcome for their displaced lives.
What the Wolf Knight wants to remind the Wasp Knight is not that these praying crystal disease refugees are innocent, but... those statues rising from the ground of the town, one or two statues turned their eyes to the Wolf Knight who was crouching on the ancient tree trunk.
and Wasp Rider.
"The gods of this world are aware of our existence, or...just a few gods." The Hornet Knight had actually sensed their sight for a long time, and said that he did not need the Wolf Knight to remind him.
If the Hornet Knight rushes down to slaughter those infected with the crystal disease, the result may be that... the gods who built this city jump to fight the Hornet Knight.
This is the outermost layer of Brand Island. Although the gods cannot enter the depths of Brand Island, there is no problem in using any means to attack the Hornet Knight and Wolf Knight on the outermost layer.
The Hornet Knight is the God-Eating God's chosen one. He can be regarded as a demigod like Queen May. Whether the God-Eating God's demigods can defeat the gods of this world, the Wasp Knight has not tried it, and she does not want to try rashly.
.
Because this will disrupt the layout of the agent.
"We recorded the information about the Black Soil Swamp and handed it over to the agent to see... how he decides." The Hornet Knight finally chose to be a qualified spy. She felt that Jiang Qiao had so many clever ideas, he should be able to think of establishing a relationship with this... gods.
