After enduring the damage from her opponents and managing to kill two harpies, Lilith turned and fiercely glared at the remaining elite harpy.

Then, without saying a word, she quickly approached the harpy.

Although the elite harpies could fly, the valley was too low, and they were quickly trapped by Lilith's webs and pulled to the ground.

Lilith quickly approached, her limbs lashing out at the elite harpy.

At first, the elite harpy could barely hold its own, but after a few rounds it was overwhelmed.

Lilith found an opening in her opponent's defenses and simultaneously thrust both of her limbs into the body of the elite harpy.

The harpy elite hurriedly used its wings to block, but its sharp feet pierced through the wings along with the harpy and continued to stab at the harpy elite with undiminished force.

"Hey!"

The elite harpy wailed in agony.

Outside the valley, the remaining harpies that hadn't entered responded with cries, but no new harpies entered the valley.

After Lilith gained the upper hand, Luo Xuan kept a close eye on the direction of the valley entrance.

One reason was the fear that new enemies might enter the valley, so he wanted to remind Lilith to prepare for a confrontation.

Secondly, they were worried that no new enemies would enter.

This means that the harpies have shed their primitive, beastly mentality and developed their own thoughts, which is not good news for Luo Xuan.

Not long after Lilith dealt with the elite harpy, she came to Luo Xuan's side.

What Luo Xuan feared still happened.

As he and Lilith carefully approached the valley entrance, they only saw the departing figures of the remaining three harpies and one elite harpy.

"This is bad," Luo Xuan muttered to himself.

Judging from this situation, the other party will definitely bring today's experience back to their lair. At that time, it will be unlikely that Luo Xuan will be able to lure monsters as easily as before.

As Luo Xuan had predicted, things went exactly as he had expected in the following days. When he sent the gray wolf to lure the monsters again, the harpies in the lair stopped chasing after it.

They usually chase for a short distance, then give up once they see that the nest is far away and choose to return to the nest.

Clearly, this was because the harpy's lair had taken precautions after the information was leaked in the valley that day.

Of course, Luo Xuan was not a person who remained unchanged.

He had also considered switching to a different unit to lure the monsters, but the harpies were already wary of the gray wolves, and switching to a different unit might just lead to them falling into the trap again.

Unfortunately, Luo Xuan's forces are currently all skeleton soldiers, and even the barracks under construction are recruiting skeleton soldiers.

Should we send the slow-moving skeletons to lure the fast, flying harpies?

That's a really good idea.

After abandoning their plan to lure the monsters, Luo Xuan, along with Lilith and Azathoth, approached the bottom of the cliff where the harpy's lair was located, hoping to find a way to cross it.

However, the harpies seemed somewhat agitated by Luo Xuan and Lilith.

As soon as they saw them, more than a dozen of them flew out of their nest in a flurry.

Although he had not yet seen the Harpy Queen, Luo Xuan did not dare to act rashly in the face of the large group of Harpies eyeing him covetously, and cautiously retreated.

Luo Xuan had consulted a map of the area and had previously asked Shi Qing and Zhou Fa. He knew that only after passing through the area guarded by the harpies could he enter the outpost of Falling Moon Canyon.

In a sense, this harpy lair was deliberately left behind by the garrison of Falling Moon Canyon.

Otherwise, how could there be such a large monster camp near the Imperial garrison?

Although he knew the situation, Luo Xuan could only shake his head and give up because he was not strong enough. Looking at the harpies flying above the cliff, he could only give up.

Fortunately, he is not as without options as he was before.

Since the route through the northern Falling Moon Canyon is currently impassable, we should shift our focus to other areas, such as the southwest coast or the eastern Falling Moon Territory.

When Luo Xuan was talking to Zhou Fa earlier, he also asked about the situation in Luoyue Territory.

After all, one is named after Falling Moon Canyon, and the other is a garrison in Falling Moon Canyon, so Luo Xuan guessed that there was some connection between them.

This question actually yielded some information for Luo Xuan.

In addition to the tasks mentioned earlier, imperial frontier territories like Falling Moon Territory are also responsible for providing supplies to imperial troops stationed nearby.

Of course, this is not free; there will be imperial funding, and the Moonfall Territory will be responsible for providing the corresponding supplies.

After all, the empire's territory is vast, and the garrison is scattered across various border outposts. If the empire were to transport supplies from its capital, Tianyu City, not to mention the losses along the way, it would be too late.

Therefore, frontier territories like Falling Moon Territory came into being, serving as the empire's outermost supply nodes.

Of course, the Falling Moon Territory alone could not possibly bear such a heavy logistical burden, so nearby territories such as Blackrock Territory would all share the responsibility.

Back when the Tianyu Empire and the Saint Loen Kingdom went to war in the Falling Moon Canyon, the Falling Moon Territory was prosperous for a time, but now it has declined considerably.

As a centurion, Zhou Fa had met Sun Jing, the lord of Luoyue, several times while transporting supplies to Luoyue.

When Zhou Fa goes to Luoyue to collect the transport supplies next time, Luo Xuan plans to go with him.

However, Zhou Fa is still leading his team to exterminate the undead, and it is not yet known when he will be able to return.

Luo Xuan turned his gaze from the east to the southwest.

According to Azathoth's intelligence, with the addition of a second murloc tribe in the battle these past few days, the lobster tribe, which had previously held the upper hand, has now fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Although individual murlocs are not as strong as lobstermen, the two tribes outnumber the lobstermen and gradually launch a counterattack against their defenses.

However, the only thing that worried Luo Xuan was the fishman overseer from back then.

Luo Xuan had not forgotten its name—Mugor the Fishman Overseer, however, according to Azathoth's feedback, neither of the two nearby fishman tribes had this name.

In other words, the fishman overseer at the time was not a "local fish".

Luo Xuan temporarily put aside his doubts and instructed Azathoth to act carefully.

Luo Xuan then devoted himself to the construction of his territory.

Because during this period, the tombs of the deceased were completed.

A building with gray-white walls and two small lanterns lit at the entrance appeared next to Luo Xuan's lord's hall. A faint white mist was still lingering around it, giving it an eerie atmosphere.

Luo Xuan didn't really care about that; he was just curious about the recruitment price of the skeleton soldiers.

During the construction period, Luo Xuan had already consulted the relevant information.

Depending on the rank, the cost and cooldown time for recruitment vary.
