Final Lord

Chapter 169 War Trial
"When can we say things are stable?" Butler Ming persisted. "I think Wei Yi is quite good. I didn't dare to say it before, but now Wei Yi really admires you, young master."

"If you're interested, young master, I'll mention it to Weiyi, and it'll definitely work out."

"Please don't. I've finally managed to restore Wei Yi and my relationship to that of siblings. If you bring this up again, she'll start to think I have ulterior motives."

“If Wei Yi won’t do, what about Mair? If that’s not possible, we can eat harpies for now. What nobleman stays single? Other noble families are afraid of their lineage dying out, so they start preparing long ago. Our Gru family can’t just have you, young master.”

What's the use of conquering such a vast territory if there's no one to inherit it?

Seeing that Uncle Ming was getting more and more excited, Wang Bufu had no choice but to resort to the tactic of turning the tables: "Speaking of which, recently quite a few harpies have asked me about your marriage, Uncle Ming. Everyone seems very enthusiastic."

I wouldn't have dared to mention it before, but now that the harpies have advanced, their appearance is almost as good as that of noble girls.

Uncle Ming, with so many aunts gone, haven't you ever thought about finding someone else to warm your bed? This cave is damp after all; it must be so cold sleeping alone at night."

"This... Young Master, why are you coming at me?" Uncle Ming's smile froze on his face.

"Hahahaha." Wang Bufu laughed loudly: "Uncle Ming, I really don't have time to think about this problem right now. Once I take over the Deadly Wetlands, I promise to give you an answer."

……

After finishing his work, Wang Bufu arrived at the Dragon Vein Gold Mine.

At this point, the Dragon Vein Gold Mine had been transformed into a haunted gold mine by the ghosts.

Production decreased by 500 gold coins per day, but increased by 2000 units of Death Crystals per day.

These death crystals can be used as food for the undead race, supplying the undead in their territory.

Wang Bufu assigned two hundred downtrodden ghosts to the vicinity of the haunted gold mine. They could ensure that the natural regeneration of the dragon vein gold mine could be extracted in time each day.

In addition to the Dragon Vein Gold Mine, Wang Bufu also discovered 134 other mining areas of varying sizes in the Sunset Mountains.

The 800 wretched souls he brought back from Night Mountain City were barely enough to get all the mines into production, not enough to maximize efficiency.

To maximize efficiency, we need another 2000 Wraiths.

"The total area of ​​the Sunset Mountains is about the size of an earldom. Normally, an earldom would require a million people to develop."

The population of my territory, excluding the New Gru territory, has just exceeded three thousand.

The mining areas have all been allocated, but there are still even larger forest areas and farmland areas that are being abandoned.

Without recruiting undead and automating their processes to maximize efficiency, it's really not going to work. Territory, oh territory, a small territory is a worry, a large territory is also a worry.

I really hope Miss Singer can finish the Thunderous Abomination production line soon so that my territory can start production.

Wang was worried, but Longkui was overjoyed.

As a puppet who considered herself a copper dragon, she perfectly inherited the dragon's greedy nature. Without even needing Wang Bufu's permission, she diligently patrolled the various mining areas, using her resource-gathering skills to absorb all the resources produced there.

I ate nine meals in three days and gained a lot of weight.

With the matters concerning the territory settled, Wang Bufu summoned his army to enter the war trial and fight the last spacetime beacon!
……

[Enter the war trial.]

Your military strength is 6960. 】

[You have completed the beginner's trial. Would you like to randomly select your talent?]

"no!"

[Your talent is not randomized; your personal talent for this trial remains "Born Noble, Ultimate War God."] [Your class has been detected as "Pacifying General." Additional human trial creatures have been added to the battlefield.]

[Trial preparation is complete, trial begins]

Wang Bufu looked around.

Thick, grayish-green miasma churned on the surface of the swamp, and decaying trees emerged from the sticky black water, their bark covered with fluorescent parasitic moss.

Decaying animal skeletons occasionally floated to the surface of the mud, their surfaces covered with a gelatinous film formed by slime mold, releasing a pungent sulfurous odor as bubbles burst. Interspersed among the puddles were hardened moss islands, seemingly solid footholds concealing deadly whirlpools beneath. Swarms of bloodthirsty mosquitoes hovered in the damp air, their flapping wings mingling with the low croaking of swamp toads to create a oppressive buzzing sound.

“Swamp terrain…” Wang Bufu’s eyes lit up. The Deadly Wetlands also belong to swamp terrain, which is quite convenient, as it can serve as a preview of the Deadly Wetlands.

"Scout team, move out."

At Wang Bufu's command, more than two hundred harpies with strange watercolor paintings on their faces scattered in a clockwork pattern, led by Tina.

Meanwhile, a group of cat-sand beasts were also bouncing on the swamp on the ground, conducting reconnaissance from underground.

The Demon-Faced Banshee

Rank: Extraordinary 2nd level

Attributes:
Life: 36
Attack: 22
Defense: 15
Speed: 18
Professional skills:

Banshee's Clone (Clone), Flowing Light Illusion (Invisibility), Phantom Shift (Displacement)

Ghostly Mask Transformation (30-minute cooldown): Select a unit. To the opponent, you will appear to be of the same faction and race as them for 10 minutes.

The second-tier Phantom Banshee possesses enhanced reconnaissance capabilities, and its powerful mask-changing ability can even deceive the senses of monsters.

Even if they are unfortunately surrounded by enemies, they can still rely on their powerful special skills to gain a chance of survival.

A dozen minutes later, the masked demoness in charge of reconnaissance reported the information to Wang Bufu.

“Master, the area within a five-kilometer radius is a swamp, filled with poisonous miasma, and the visible area is small.”

No threatening trial creatures were detected in the air.

"At the sixteen o'clock position, one kilometer away, a swampy floating island has been discovered. The floating island is covered with mutated crocodiles whose backs are covered with bone spurs. Their tails can launch highly toxic bone fragments, and they lurk at the edge of the floating island to ambush those crossing the river."

"A giant frog, 4 meters tall and 3 meters wide, was found at the four o'clock position. Its skin secretes a lot of mucus. The mud it splashes when it jumps turns dark green, and it is suspected to be highly poisonous."

……

Meanwhile, the cat-sand beasts also reported their findings back.

"Meow! There's a body of water 500 meters away at 5 o'clock. There are creeping plants in the water that emit a pale blue glow. A creature touched it and died on the spot, meow."

"Meow, a necromancer has been spotted at 3 o'clock, 2000 meters away! It's a necromancer made of skeleton and humus mud! It's huge! It looks like a lizard."

"Meow! There's a river at 4 o'clock, and there are fish in it, meow! I smelled them and they're edible, and I ate them without dying, meow!"

……

Wang Bufu gathered a lot of information and quickly formed a tactical map in his mind.

"Razor crocodile lizards, ghost-faced poison dart frogs, soul-devouring algae, skeletal mud dragons... This swamp is a place where the undead and swamp creatures coexist."

That's interesting. Is the opposing commander a swamp necromancer, or some undead expert in swamp tactics?
"Then, let's go!"
