After leaving the weakest golden crane to protect the queen ant.
Sean personally led more and more ant soldiers to clean up the entire abandoned city.
In this abandoned city, there is only one shadow mastermind, but there is not just one locust queen, but as many as nine.
The remaining eight are simply used to produce ordinary locusts, and they don't even have the ability to hatch shadow mantises in an emergency.
Once attacked, the only thing they can do is to scream sharply and summon the surrounding descendants to come and protect them.
They naturally became the number one signal transmitter for Sean and the others to gather support.
Just like how the Bright Golden Crane dealt with the locust queen before, poke them from time to time and let them summon all the locusts around them, saving them the trouble of chasing them all over the world.
After the value of their surrounding areas and reinforcements is exhausted, what awaits them will naturally be purification and adaptation.
Sean originally planned to turn them into queen ants to increase the speed of the mob.
But after seeing the cost of adapting them into new ant queens, Sean backed down on the spot. He now fully realized what a huge gift Goddess Abigail had given him.
Adapting a queen ant requires the power of 1.2 million laws.
Sean's remaining power of law is just a fraction.
But if you think about it carefully, this kind of consumption is completely normal.
To modify the appearance and structure of the Bright Golden Crane, one would have to consume an average of 10,000 pieces of law power.
As for the queen ant, it looks like there is only one, but actually a whole race has been edited.
Is it a lot to create a new race with the power of 1.2 million laws?
Not much at all.
This 1.2 million is also due to the consumption given by the template of the original queen ant as a reference.
In the initial queen ant, the power of law invested by Abigail's plane was definitely much greater than this number, and even consumed a lot of original material - research and development expenses have always been expensive.
I invested, but Sean didn’t pay for it, so I didn’t feel anything.
This does not mean that Sean will only have one queen to use in the future.
How could Sean not consider the issue of expanding the violent troops when adapting the Ant Queen?
The queen ant has the ability to copy all of its own genetic data and give birth to a special ant guard. After arriving at a nutrient-rich location, it can take root and transform into a new queen. This method is exactly the same as the way ants survive.
Because this is inherited through the normal process of life and does not involve adaptation that violates the laws of the plane, naturally it does not require a lot of legal power.
Of course, this method of racial expansion is relatively time-consuming. Whether it is the birth of special ant guards or the special ant guards taking root and transforming into queens, it takes time and a lot of nutrients.
It won't be like the transformation of ready-made locusts, where the results will be immediate and it won't take half a day to be put into mass production.
Just by saving time, it is impossible to save time worth 1.2 million law power.
It is absolutely impossible for Sean to do such extravagant things in a short period of time. With the power of 1.2 million laws, he can do more valuable things.
There is no way to adapt it into a new ant queen, which does not mean that the locust queen has lost other uses.
In addition to adapting into the Queen Ant, the Rune of Life Law also gave Sean another direction of adaptation, the combat type that he had previously abandoned.
The price of transforming the combat type is very different from that of the reproductive type, only costing 12,000.
Even though it is a hundred times different from the breeding type, the price of the highest version of the Bright Golden Crane is almost the same.
The old rule is to modify one first and see the actual effect before deciding whether to buy in large quantities.
Needless to say, the results.
Ever since he obtained the power of the law, its actual effectiveness has never disappointed Sean.
The upgraded and transformed fighting form of the Locust Queen is somewhat similar to the Shadow Mantis, except that it is larger and slimmer than the Bright Golden Crane, but its combat effectiveness is no less impressive.
The giant mantis fist, which opens gold and cracks the earth, can forcefully hit the trunk of Sebi Vajra's Abigail World Tree, creating a crater of several centimeters.
The giant mantis knife can basically cut through anything. It has the same effect as the beak of the Bright Golden Crane. It can materialize twisted nightmares and organize their energy regeneration.
During the sparring session, Guangming Golden Crane didn't dare to be caught by Guangming Mantis' mantis knife.
Overall, the 12,000 yuan spent is still worth it.
Sean was chopping his hands in pain while comforting himself. This was a necessary investment in the early stage. They are big killers. They are powerful existences that can fight against those shadow generals and shadow masterminds. It won't take long before they can help him get back his money.
.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The power of Xiaoliuwan Law was invested again.
Sean has five more mantis warriors under his command, which together with the Golden Crane of Light complete the team.
Sean did not touch the remaining four locust queens. He simply killed all the migratory locust nightmares and left a large number of migratory locusts for them.
This is not done out of kindness, but to keep them in captivity.
Whether it is a bright golden crane or a bright mantis, they all need to eat - eat a lot.
You can't feed them ant soldiers in the future, right?
Not only is it a matter of luxury, Sean's ethics do not allow this. Although the opponent is essentially an insect, he is still his soldier. He will not allow this situation to happen unless it is absolutely necessary.
Soon this abandoned Abigail city called Bolton came under Sean's control.
This time he couldn't just pat his ass and walk away like he did to Emerald City.
This is the first time when the Queen Ant's sin is weak. If it is besieged on a large scale by a large number of twisted nightmares and damaged here, Sean's plan to explode the troops will come to nothing.
Even if you go out for a wander, you have to wait until the queen ant has a certain ability to protect herself.
Therefore, while Sean conducted a full three-dimensional investigation of the abandoned city within a hundred miles, he ordered the queen ant to explode a group of worker ants, preparing to transform the abandoned city and turn it into the first nest to protect the original queen.
The rabbit spirit in Sean's heart has never faded, and he has a soft spot for all kinds of infrastructure. Even in Abigail's plane, which is on the verge of collapse, it has not changed.
Although he showed part of it in the Emerald City, it was someone else's city after all, and he was just an outsider. The initial nest was completely decided by him, and the energy he invested was naturally different.
But when large-scale construction began, Ant-Man's shortcomings slowly began to be exposed.
As soldiers, they are fully qualified.
They have the almost perfect character of soldiers - they are not afraid of death, they obey orders and prohibitions, they are never lazy, etc.
But there are some worries about wisdom, especially creative wisdom, which is even more unsatisfactory.
Let them burrow, and they'll do it quickly.
But asking them to carve law runes and build a mage tower according to Sean's needs is simply making things difficult for them.
This does not include the relatively intelligent ant guards. At most, they have good learning abilities. If you can spend a lot of time teaching them, they may be able to master these additional techniques.
Sean has so much time to train them from scratch?
We can only find other ways to make up for their shortcomings.
The first thing Sean thought of was the Emerald City, especially since it was not far from the other party, with a straight-line distance of no more than 150 kilometers, making it easy to help each other.
Especially when another larger nightmare lair was discovered thirty kilometers away in a straight line, Sean's sense of urgency became even stronger.
That nightmare lair is more than five times the size of the abandoned city where Sean lives.
In addition to the mass production of flying nightmares like an assembly line as Sean had seen before, the twisted nightmares also opened a shadow door directly to the shadow plane, and a large number of original twisted nightmares poured in every day.
, gather there and then head to the battlefield.
That's right.
It's the battlefield.
A siege battle of unprecedented scale and unusual scale.
That nightmare lair was just one of the sources of troops for this siege. There were no less than three nightmare lairs of various sizes in other directions, providing a steady stream of troops.
As for the object being besieged, it was none other than the main target of Sean's trip, Lunn City, the capital of the Abigail elves.
Lunn City is not only nearly ten times larger than Emerald City, but its military strength is also beyond what Emerald City can match.
In addition to relying on the city's protective shield, Lunn City also has a strong counterattack force.
Sean took a peek from a distance and saw that there were at least ten huge figures outside Lunn City, fighting with those twisted nightmares.
Even though he was only observing from a distance, Sean recognized their identities at a glance.
Because they are so recognizable - they are clearly giant dragons that have long since become extinct in the plane of Sean.
The scale of this battle was far beyond what the one in Emerald City could compare to.
Even if there is an extraordinary harvest in the initial lair, and Sean leads some troops and joins rashly, it will be difficult to reverse the situation in a short time, and it is very likely to be dragged into a long war of attrition.
Although Lunn City is at a disadvantage, it is not possible for those twisted nightmares to break through the city's protective barrier in a short time.
Sean decided to hold it in for a while, taking advantage of the fact that the Twisted Nightmares hadn't discovered him yet, and gave them a hard blow, at least to the extent of uprooting a nightmare nest.
After hiding the queen ant and leaving a certain amount of self-protection power, Sean took four bright golden cranes and two bright mantises and rushed to the Emerald City overnight. In order not to cause a disturbance, Sean first let them dock at
Out of Emerald City's sight, he took the lead and moved closer.
"Sir Special Envoy? It's the Special Envoy who is back."
"Hey, it's really the special envoy. Why did he come back so soon? Has he already been in contact with Lunn's people? Or has he brought bad news?"
"Don't make wild guesses. The special envoy will be back at this time. Hurry up and inform the city lord and the high priest!"
"All you need to do is inform the city lord. The high priest doesn't need us to rule at all. I believe he will be the first to get the news."
"Understood!"
Sean's departure and return still caused quite a commotion in the Emerald City.
After all, he had been gone for less than a week, and all the citizens thought they would have no chance to see him in a short time.
This abnormal behavior naturally caused a wave of uneasy speculation.
Compared to when Sean left, the Emerald City seemed even more deserted and empty. There were basically no citizens on the streets, and only a small number of city defense soldiers were still on duty and sticking to their posts.
The soldiers who went to inform the Lord of Roxani City had not yet taken a few steps.
The Lord of Roxani City had already hurried over with several guards, apparently informed by the high priest who was sitting in the Mage Tower. At this time, Sean had just passed through the city's protective shield and landed, and the energy clone landed first.
The Lord of Roxani laughed heartily and said: "Mr. Messenger, welcome back. I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. I wonder what the harvest was like in the past week? Have you found the Imperial Capital of Lunn?"
"Thanks to the help of the city lord, we have indeed successfully found the Lunn Imperial Capital, but..." Sean hesitated.
"Just what?" Lord Roxani asked anxiously, "Does it mean that the Lunn Empire has encountered something unexpected?"
"That's not true." Sean shook his head and said, "It's just that its condition is very bad and it is being besieged by a large number of nightmares. It will be a matter of time before the city's protective shield is breached. In that case, I cannot approach the Lun En Empire rashly.
, it would be terrible if he was mistaken for the enemy."
"Then what are you going to do, the special envoy? If there is anything we can do to help, just ask." Lord Roxani once again expressed his attitude and the position of the Emerald City.
Although the time he had been in contact with Sean was not long, it was enough for him to understand his character.
The other party is not someone who likes to waste time. He must have his own purpose in returning to Emerald City at this time.
Sean did not be polite to the Lord of Loxani City, and said straight to the point: "This time I returned to the Emerald City, I really came to seek help. Although the contact with the Lunn Imperial Capital was not smooth, it was not without any gains. I discovered
A city called Bolton..."
"Boton? The special envoy has found the city of Bolton? Are the people there okay? Its city lord Kim Mington is an old friend of mine for many years. I wonder if he has mentioned me..." There was something in the Lord Roxani's expression that he couldn't hide.
She was very excited, but at the end of the sentence, her tone became lower and lower, because she found that Sean's expression did not look like he was excited about finding a survivor.
"If the special envoy brings you unfortunate news, we can also say bluntly that we have not encountered any citizens from Bolton City in dreams for at least five years. Many people are speculating that perhaps Bolton City has long since disappeared.
They exist again, but many people are unwilling to face it. After all, we have lost too much in these years. Sometimes we have to deceive ourselves and others. As long as we don’t get the exact information, we just pretend that they are still alive. In a certain place, we can’t see
Survive in every corner!"
"Sorry!" Sean didn't know whether to apologize for the bad news he had brought or for breaking their last thoughts.
