Author: Conquer people with virtue

Theos flew all the way south, and soon met the gryphon knights who were following him in the air. Theos' figure was very conspicuous, and they noticed the arrival of the lord from a distance.

After waiting for Theos to approach, they were greeted by Wenwen before they could greet him: "Explain the current situation to me."

"Yes." The griffon knight paused and then reported: "Currently, this shark-lizard beast is still heading south, mainly moving through some softer soil layers."

"We have already had someone take the lead and issue warnings along its approximate path. In addition, there are not many civilians living in this area, so there have been no additional casualties so far."

"You did a good job." Theos confirmed.

His eyes swept downwards, and sure enough he found a wave of earth rolling forward in the ravine in the mountains, with a speed comparable to that of a warg running.

This section of the road has many mountains and the soft soil is not thick, so the Shark-Lizard Beast does not dive too deep. Knights in the sky can easily spot its movements.

Theos restrained his breath, lowered his flying height, and got slightly closer to the Shark-Lizard Beast. In fact, he used the system to scan out its information.

【Dire Shark Lizard】

Level: Level 17

Specialties: Ground surfing, earth-breaking splash, staying power

Description: The ferocious variant of the Shark-Lizard Beast has been further improved in size and aggressiveness than before. Compared with its ordinary counterparts, the Dire Shark-Lizard Beast can sneak into the ground and use its stamina to heal itself, but it can only be done once in a short period of time.

.

Seeing the data of this shark lizard beast, Theos was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, it also evolved the ability to heal itself, which suddenly raised its overall strength to a higher level.

If there is no absolute strength to crush it, then it is conceivable that when any tribe encounters it, there are only two ways to go.

Either leave or die.

Of course, Theos's strength can completely crush it, but right now... Xios suddenly has other ideas.

With a certain determination in his heart, Theos released his aura slightly, and at the same time activated his specialty - terrifying majesty!

The aura of the high-level dragon instantly enveloped the migrating shark lizard beast, making it nervous at once.

A roar of unknown meaning came from the ground.

Along with this, comes its faster mining speed.

It's running away!

Although it is considered dominant among creatures of the same level, how can the shark lizard beast be compared with the giant dragon? Almost the moment the breath came, the fear hidden in its body was aroused.

As a result, the frightened shark lizard beast was driven by Theos and ran away, trying to escape. But no matter how hard it ran, it could not run faster than Theos.

In fact, Theos was deliberately driving him further south.

Whenever it panics and tries to turn left or right, Theos will block its path in time.

In this way, the shark lizard beast was chased south by Theos.

The gryphon knights in the sky were stunned. In awe of the lord's power, they could only follow behind.

"Notify the border patrol and ask them to get out of the way!" Theos ordered, finding something for him to do.

"Yes!" The griffin knight accepted the order and accelerated to fly forward.

After a while, when Theos drove the shark-lizard beast to the southernmost point, it turned out to be smooth.

Due to previous conflicts with the Fireforged Dwarves, many warning posts have been set up here, and there are usually small teams patrolling.

At this moment, they have received orders to completely clear the road.

"Rumble..."

In everyone's astonished gaze, the ferocious shark lizard beast passed through the middle of the road, destroying the road in pieces and slowly moving away from their sight.

"Lord Lord!"

Theos folded his wings and landed. The sentries came to their senses and saluted quickly.

"Which of you is in charge here?"

"Captain of the Nugget Corps Scout Brigade, Ai Xiao is reporting to you. Welcome, Lord Lord."

An underground dwarf wearing a wallet walked forward, put his palms on his chest, and knelt on one knee.

"Nuggets Corps? I see, are you responsible for guarding the south during this period?" Theos understood.

"Everything is for Osfir, for the lord! All of us are always ready to dedicate our lives to you!" Ai Xiao said loudly.

"Everything is for Osfir, for the lord!" all the soldiers shouted in unison.

At present, it seems that the morale of the soldiers is pretty good.

Since he arrived, Theos took the opportunity to inspect the garrison here.

It is said to be a garrison, but in fact it is just a scout brigade. They are a branch of the Nuggets Legion, with about five hundred people.

Most of the people were scattered at the sentry posts along the way, and there were only about a hundred people present.

Since the order issued by Theos was still focused on reconnaissance, the combat readiness level of the border was not upgraded to avoid alerting the enemy.

The selection of the garrison was also arranged by Valcke and his officers, and Theos paid little attention to it.

Currently, Osfir's main combat power is the original four legions (Little Giant, Wolf Fang, Earth Dragon, and Nugget), which are composed of four main races, namely, Jackals, Lizardmen, and Kobolds.

Goblin.

Among them, gnolls are good at attacking, while kobolds are better at defense. Lizardmen and goblins are more balanced.

The Nuggets Legion is mainly based on kobolds, mixed with some races such as fire-forged dwarves and underground gnomes.

The temperament of this regiment is that it likes to build fortifications and fight stupid battles.

Theos took a brief look at the level of the soldiers, and he was quite satisfied. Basically, ordinary soldiers have levels 2-4. This is the result of the long-standing special professional induction training system.

As a lord, Theos didn't have much to talk to them. After a few words of concern and loyalty, he left.

Returning to Osfir City, Theos immediately summoned Valk, Thoradin, Nohir, Robbie, Erso and others to come.

It took about two hours for everyone to arrive.

Theos doesn't think anything of this. He usually works as a hands-off shopkeeper, and the people below him would have their legs broken. Except for Robbie and Thoradin who spend most of their time in Osfir City, several other people have to do it.

Running around, it was already very difficult to get there in two hours.

Everyone present was confused, but they all guessed that the lord might have important instructions. After all, there were not many such temporary meetings, and there were usually fixed meetings.

"Everyone is here, let's get started." Theos cleared his throat.

He first told everyone about the situation he had just encountered.

"The shark lizard beast has gone south, and it will definitely cause chaos." Erso spoke first, and he had quickly captured something from his master's words.

"Never mind that it is a powerful ferocious species, just based on the large number of halflings in the south, even ordinary shark-lizard beasts will fall in love with it."

As soon as this was said, everyone agreed.

"The Shark Lizard's favorite food is halflings, and halflings are the most common in the south. They are obviously not strong enough to deal with such monsters, and in the end they have no choice but to turn to the Hammer City for help," Nohill continued.

Lord, this is a big problem for the southern dwarves.

"However, even in Hammer City, it would probably be a headache to meet that guy." Valk added.

"Master, based on our investigation during this period and some information provided by Minister Thoradin, we have a preliminary understanding of the general situation of Hammer City."

Theos motioned for Valk to continue.

"The dwarves of Molten Hammer City are very strong overall, and each dwarf is not weak individually. Moreover, as expected, their equipment is equally sophisticated. Of course, we are not lagging behind them in this regard."

This is true, and the key to it is of course the existence of the fire-forged dwarves. Otherwise, the fire-forged clan is the one who is better at forging.

"They rely on the solid city defense system of Molten Hammer City and have very strong combat effectiveness, especially since they have some large combat equipment."

"In field battles, the southern dwarves mainly rely on a kind of domesticated goat to provide them with speed. Coupled with their individual weapons, the impact is very strong, but the flexibility should not be as good as the warg cavalry."

"I judge that the southern dwarves are better at defense and are slightly weaker in field battles. Facing the shark lizards, even if they ride on their little lambs, I think they are still difficult to deal with." Valk told everyone present his analysis.

.

"Yeah." Theos nodded in agreement, which was one of the reasons why he let the Shark-Lizard go south.

"Next, you guys are going to do these few things." Theos started the topic.

"First of all, from now on, preparations for war with Hammer City can be put on the agenda."

None of them showed any surprised expressions, obviously, they already knew this.

"Valk will be responsible for the selection and dispatch of the troops going into battle. For the cooperation of relevant personnel and material preparation, you go to Robbie and Thoradin. However, one thing to note is that while preparing for the war with Hammer City, now

Some defenses cannot be abandoned, we still have to be vigilant against the orcs."

"Yes." The three of them agreed in unison.

"At the same time, intelligence work must continue and be intensified."

"Send the news to the south and say that Osfir is willing to take in the halflings and provide them with shelter! In addition, strengthen the penetration of public opinion to let the halflings understand the evil of Moltenhammer City."

"I will obey your will."
