Tauren Overlord

Especially those animal trainers who like to hold whips are mostly tall and slender women.

It is said that the objects they whipped were not necessarily wild beasts but could be other objects, which simply aroused endless imagination among men.

This large number of women naturally aroused the jealousy of many Taimenia leaders.

They often joked that there were too many military maids in the High Elves' army. Could they give some to other troops?

The usually proud high elves naturally looked down upon such ridicule.

But what the high elves find even more intolerable is not the frivolity of humans, but the common habit of laziness among human leaders.

Compared to the lazy lovers of Tymenia, the high elves are much more fanatical in their loyalty to the empire.

If the Taimenians had suffered perhaps 10% casualties, they would have raised the white flag.

Unlike the High Elves, they even suffered a 90% casualty ratio, especially when their targets were their fellow elves.

Regarding this phenomenon, Lu Heng felt that it might not be the nature of the elves, but rather that the origins of the two leaders were different.

For the people of Taimenia, their kingdom had been destroyed long ago, and many people like Cecilia had no choice at all.

They have been living in an era of being conquered by the empire since they opened their eyes. Not resisting is already very gentle. How could there be so many people who are fanatically leading the empire?

The high elves are different. The reason they call themselves high is because there are still many "low" elves resisting the empire outside the borders of the empire.

Especially the Sea Alliance in the East Continent, which is Enis's hometown, where there are many elves who do not want to be conquered by the empire.

This resulted in the elves who were truly willing to join or even sneak into the empire having already been "purified"; they truly loved the empire deeply.

106. I, the rat, have become stronger!

But no matter how much the High Elves love the Empire, it is difficult for the Empire to love them as much as they love the Empire.

Because most of the elves still live in the only camp that can compete with the Empire - the Sea Alliance.

This undoubtedly made the Empire a little wary of all elves. Who knows if these elves who defected to the Empire might be spies sent by the Sea Alliance?

At the same time, the high elves' fanatical love for the empire also made the people of Taimenia, who had been living a peaceful life, feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, the leaders of Taimenia are often wary of the High Elves and always avoid taking joint actions with them.

But for Lu Heng, this is not a problem.

You high elves are alone, right? No problem, I'm in need of people, come quickly!

Thus, the third enemy under Lu Heng's command, the elf lord Erica von Meyer, who looked like a young girl, took office.

The power he can mobilize now is roughly divided into three parts:

First of all, there are the direct descendants of the family, consisting of 420 people led by Qunshan, the defeated soldiers from Aicao Town, and the garrison troops, totaling over 800 people.

In order to create the appearance of preparing for a decisive battle, Lu Heng also recalled nearly 200 cavalrymen from Aicao Town deployed in Qunshan Territory.

Since Artemisia Town has gradually been transformed into their own territory, reuniting the cavalry with their families as soon as possible can also prevent mutiny.

By piecing together this way, Lu Heng finally put together a family force of about 1000 people.

Also heading south was Lu Heng's cavalry commander Bastien to make up for the shortage of officials in Artemisia Town.

Otherwise, before the final battle, Lu Heng would only have three officers left: "Rye Mage" Baltai, "Runner" Runnar, and Nina.

Lu Heng was a little worried that such a small lineup might arouse suspicion from the other two lords.

As for the situation in Qunshan Territory, Lu Heng would take time out of his busy schedule to keep in touch with Rosa by phone every day.

Rosa always brings new good news to Lu Heng. For example, maid No. 8 Leona was also ripened by the psychic crystal and became a first-level spellcaster.

This girl who is determined not to be a maid can shoot out strong magnetic storms.

If she could be trained to become a magnetic storm cavalry, her potential would be much greater than that of an ordinary archer cavalry.

However, Lu Heng felt that it might be too hasty to send her directly to the battlefield, so it would be better to let her start by training with ordinary defense duties such as leading troops on patrol.

As for the real battlefield, it is of course in Aicao Town.

In addition to the 1000 men under Lu Heng, his uncle Jules was said to have brought 1000 men as well.

However, according to Lu Heng's observation using the landing point vision, there seemed to be only more than 600 people.

Moreover, the cavalry of their Ovax family is even smaller than that of the Burios family, and the entire army is mainly composed of infantry.

No wonder my uncle doesn’t want to go to the front battlefield, but instead plans to pick up opportunities in the rear.

Looking at his smiling face, Jules had obviously made a professional judgment:

Any one of these lords going to fight the Tauren is sure to win!

Finally, there was an elite force of about 200 people led by the High Elf Lord Erica.

Although they are few in number, they are powerful races like the harpy witches and minotaurs in Lunayuanbang, with high casting rate and strong individual combat power.

Although it is not known to what extent the other two lords can cooperate, at least it seems that Lu Heng has 1800 people to command.

His position of "Deputy Commander" is well-deserved, and he can start his own mission - what the hell!

This army of 1800 people is about to attack the Suspension Bridge Monastery, which has only more than 300 combat troops. How should he play this out?

Even if his own Brios troops were acting as actors and just pretending to attack him, what about the remaining 800-plus people?

The difficulty is far beyond what it was like to fight the five people of the White Legion. They have more than a dozen spellcasters alone.

What's more, fighting is one thing, and keeping your undercover identity hidden is another...

Oh, that’s so difficult.

Under this imminent pressure, Lu Heng once again accelerated the research and development of technology.

As Chloe produced the psychic simulation stone, the ratmen of the Suspension Bridge Monastery also began to produce psychic batteries and store psychic energy in an endless stream.

Now Lu Heng has obtained more simulated abilities from Pierre's officers and Diana's harpy witch companions.

The first of these was the gigantic ability of "Fat One" Tadaguy - the "Giant Rat Project" quickly moved from conception to practical operation.

If the law of the jungle is the underlying rule of this world, then the best way to protect the weak is undoubtedly to make the weak become strong.

Take Shashatek from the Ratman reconnaissance unit as an example. She was originally only 140 cm tall.

But after using the 1% version of the gigantic simulation stone, her height can directly soar to 3 meters.

This technology has greatly alleviated the problem of the ratmen's weak melee combat ability.

The originally weak mouse people became as fierce as King Kong.

And this change does not require sacrificing the existing intelligence level of the rat people. Not only can they grow bigger, but they can also become intelligent big rat people.

For these big rats, the newly developed crossbow has a new use - as a double or even single weapon for the big ratmen.

Compared with close combat, Lu Heng would prefer to have them build more long-range weapons like the crossbow.

If it can keep my comrades unharmed, then of course it would be better to have no losses at all.

This ability to enlarge can be used not only on the battlefield, but also everywhere in daily production and life.

When the Rat Man "grows" to 3 meters tall, he will have greater strength whether it is cutting trees, farming, or building water conservancy projects.

By the same token, Kalomenos can also use this "Giant Stone" to transform into a giant minotaur over 5 meters tall.

As it becomes larger, the range of his "War Stomp" ability also increases, which is a very practical gain.

Other giant duck men and giant dog men also came into being with the "Giant Stone", as long as there is enough spiritual energy.

Of course, even for a giant minotaur that is 5 meters tall, there is still a limit to its size.

Lu Heng still assigned some of the hard, tiring work that required great effort to the hard laborer Tadaguy whom he captured on the battlefield.

After all, as long as he has enough spiritual energy, he can transform into a 16-meter giant! That's a lot of productivity.

Although Tadaguy showed a passive attitude at the beginning, the Tauren Lord had to persuade him patiently:

"You don't want to never see the girl you love again in this life, and she's dating someone else, right?"

"If you don't work hard, I will let you die and build a tombstone for you somewhere she knows."

"So when she gets old, she can bring her new man and their children to visit your grave, okay?"

"Do you think this ending is surprising or happy?"

After hearing what Lu Heng said, the hard laborer Tada Gai had an expression of "how can there be such a malicious development?" and worked hard.

In fact, Lu Heng doesn't have such a bad taste. If he accepts the reformation, he can be given a different ending.

So with the efforts of various new versions of large creatures, the Suspension Bridge Monastery is developing rapidly.

Some large-scale projects that will be used in conjunction with the performances are also being quietly built with the joint efforts of people including the big trumpet workers.

In short, Lu Heng tried to give the human lord Jules and the elf lord Erica more surprises when they came!

At the same time, the Baron of the Mountains had already felt a surprise, because a strange supernatural event had occurred in Artemisia Town that night...

107. The cannibalism incident in Aicao Town

The incident happened in the evening of that day.

Following a few unpleasant screams, people discovered the scene of a giant dog eating a person.

The dog was taller than a human when it sat up. It exuded murderous aura, and in its bloody mouth there was still traces of the woman's flesh and blood.

The person being bitten by it was the madam of the Adventurer's Inn. When she was found by the townspeople, her throat had already been bitten to pieces.

Blood kept splattering, and the madam's body was already a bloody mess. Although she had not completely died, she could not be saved.

The giant dog continued to bite her body, and the horrifying chewing sound echoed in the ears of the townspeople!

The residents of Wormwood Town had never encountered such a horrible thing. They simply thought that the giant dog was a messenger from hell, bringing death and destruction to the town.

Faced with this terrifying giant dog, the townspeople fell into despair and panic, and everyone was worried that they would become the giant dog's next food!

The crowd that had just gathered was frightened and ran away in all directions. Only the affairs officer Nina who happened to pass by here became the one who went against the flow in the crowd.

She shot a magic arrow through the giant dog's head, which alleviated people's fear.

But another extremely strange thing happened - after the giant dog died, its body suddenly shrank.

The shrunken giant dog is still half the length of a person, but at least it is in line with common sense.

The townspeople, having calmed down, then remembered that the madam had indeed raised a dog that looked like this.

The madam was also an experienced veteran. When she was in the Western Continent, she had trained many "daughters" for Pierre.

The madams always like to say that running a brothel gives women a valuable opportunity to freely use their bodies to gain wealth.

That being said, she never explained what her whip was used for.

She always left a big dog at the exit of the maids' dormitory, or shack, and no one knew who it was guarding.

There are even rumors that this is not the first time the dog has eaten human flesh.

Once there was a maid who was so sick that she could hardly receive customers, which made the madam very distressed.

She had originally planned to simply iron the parts of the maid's body where she was obviously ill, so that she could continue to use it.

But the half-dead maid was obviously unable to continue "working", so the other maids... never saw her again the next day.

Some people speculated that the maid who was still alive had been buried alive by the madam, while others speculated that the maid was eaten by the vicious dog raised by the madam.

The truth has long been unknown, but one thing is certain: this old procuress has drunk the blood of countless people in her not-so-long life.

And in the last moments of her life, she was bitten to death... She was not bitten to death, but died slowly with conscious mind, which could be considered as what she got.

There are many different opinions about the cause of this bizarre incident.

Some people privately said that it was the blessing of the people from the imperial headquarters that shone on this side, so the big dog mutated.

In the areas where people from the empire gather, such mutations are more common.

But some people also argued that the gathering area of ​​the imperial headquarters is far away from Artemisia Town, so how could the blessed light that induces all kinds of creatures to mutate not reach here?

Cecilia didn't find out anything, so she could only pray secretly to the goddess Taimenia, hoping that Artemisia Town would not suffer so many disasters.

Regarding this widely-circulated matter, Lu Heng roughly guessed the secret behind it.
