Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System-Chapter 452 - 204: Spoils of War and the Terrifying Ancient Secrets

Chapter 452: Chapter 204: Spoils of War and the Terrifying Ancient Secrets

Moreover, the remote strength doubled.

The troops at hand suddenly became more abundant.

After coming back to his senses, Lear felt somewhat emotional.

Luckily, he became a Divine Spirit; without mastering this power, wanting to survive and thrive in such a terrifying Wilderness would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

When he initially chose the Mire Swamp, the surprise and disbelief of other Pioneer Lords, he now understood it all.

Calming his mind, he immediately ordered the troops to gather the corpses and tally the spoils of war.

After spending around twenty minutes, Isa summarized the intelligence and reported to him one by one.

"Your Majesty, those fleeing harpies have all been killed, and the bodies have been gathered."

"Except for the Divine Chosen of the Dark Night Elf God mentioned by the Great Demon escaping, all enemies have been slain!"

"On the battlefield, we seized over 1,600 undamaged long swords used by the Zor Elves, all of which are 2 Stars in grade, embedded with unique magic, and extremely sharp."

"Elven Longbows of the Holy Song Clan—over 2,300, 1 Star in quality."

"Additionally, there are 60 Elf Heavy Crossbow Carriages that remain undamaged, rated at 3 Stars."

"This is quite a bountiful harvest."

Pausing in her speech, she glanced at the busy battlefield not far away before continuing.

"In this battle, we lost 16 squads of Cold-blooded Cavalry."

"The lost weapons have all been recovered, but the Rock Heavy Armor is completely shattered and cannot be repaired."

"Moreover, the armor on other Cold-blooded Cavalry is damaged, with over 4 squadrons’ armor nearly broken."

"Among the Dark Night Hunters, over two hundred were injured, but none were killed."

The sacrifice of 16 squads, considering a war against tens of thousands of enemies, is negligible to the point of being insignificant.

But from the perspective of Weilu City, this is an exceptionally large loss.

As for the damaged armor, it’s not a big issue; as long as there’s enough time, the Rock Heavy Armor can automatically repair itself.

Lear nodded.

"Bring the fallen warriors back to the territory to be buried in the Tomb of the Heroic Spirits. Record this war in the Heroic Spirit Hall to remember these fallen heroes."

"As you wish."

Isa responded, her eyes showing a bit of disorientation.

Being commemorated in the Heroic Spirit Hall for posterity to revere is an honor almost never seen in the Underworld.

Although she had gone through this several times, each time seeing a comrade buried, receiving a hero’s tribute.

Her heart still felt genuinely gratified.

They have not been forgotten.

At least she knows that one day, when she falls on the battlefield, she too can become a revered legend.

For warriors who have long been prepared to die on the battlefield, this is a great comfort.

This seemingly inconspicuous system is quietly changing her and all the Dark Night Elves’ attitudes.

Even the entire territory has become different because of this.

Thus, this war ended with Weilu City’s perfect victory.

The gains from the war—mainly 15 squadrons of Dark Night Elves.

Transitioning them into Dark Night Hunters will lead to a surge in remote strength.

Moreover, Dark Night Hunters are not solely remote combatants, but are also fierce in close combat.

However, with the Cold-blooded Cavalry at the forefront, they aren’t needed for the charge.

Additionally, the massive corpse requisition from the war became energy for the Land of Crimson Rot.

Another small benefit.

The acquired weapons and equipment don’t seem as significant.

By contrast, the equipment made by Weilu City is much stronger—just tested in the recent battle.

And the price paid, 16 squads of Cold-blooded Cavalry and their armor.

Their enemies were the allied forces of Dark Night Elves and Zor Elves, backed by two Divine Spirits... incurring only this much loss was already a miracle.

Furthermore, after this strong push on the stronghold, another hidden threat has been eradicated.

The safety of Weilu City has been enhanced.

In this ever-changing situation, any source of danger could become a fuse.

The fewer, the better.

Thinking, his gaze turned to the open underground passage.

It cannot remain so open and must be strongly regulated.

Thinking, he looked at the nearby Great Demon, pointing to one of them.

"You return to the territory, bring along 3 Vine Fairies and build a fortress at this entrance."

On the other side of the underground passage, there are Magma Coal resources required by the Blacksmith Shop that need to be mined.

Building a fortress not only protects the safety of the Earth’s surface but also serves as a safe backing for future underworld exploration.

"Yes!"

The Great Demon responded and immediately flapped his wings to leave.

Soon, he swiftly returned.

Three fist-sized, plump little creatures were somewhat dissatisfied, chirping at the Great Demon.

They only smiled again after seeing Lear.

After arranging the Vine Fairies to construct the fortress, Lear also left a separate squad to guard it.

Only then did he allow the others to return to the territory.

Over the next few days, Weilu City temporarily entered a state of peace.

The fortress construction on the underground passage progressed rapidly, expected to be completed in 5 more days. By then, with only three to five squadrons of warriors stationed, the passage can be firmly controlled.

Other projects are also progressing rapidly.

Although Weilu City has gained development time, the surroundings couldn’t remain calm.

From the Night Shadow Clan came news that the dungeon minotaurs attacking them have found another tunnel exit and have already begun mobilizing an army to establish a territory in the Wilderness.

Seeing this, it’s clear they mean business.
