Searching a vast area has always been time-consuming and laborious.

However, if there are enough people and flying "creatures" to accompany them, there will be much less annoying things.

The reason why the agent is strong is largely because he has control over the entire planet. Regardless of the value of minerals and other items, first of all, in terms of human resources, he has unlimited room for development. Especially in the later stages of agents, the various resources they possess are almost beyond the reach of ordinary Covenant people.

50,000 people were used to search a radius of 225 kilometers, which was a big deal in any era, not to mention the hundreds of astromancers flying in the sky.

The vast majority of them are Star Warlock apprentices, and many of them are recruited from the Star Warlock Association's missions, and the funds consumed for this are no less than hiring a helicopter.

As for Mr. Cheng Jinzhou, he set up a tent and waited for definite information.

If 50,000 people are spread out and lined up over a length of 225 kilometers, then there will be one person every 4.5 meters away, so even if there are two or three cities in this 160,000 square kilometers of land, they can check it out. , not to mention the grasslands with only three or four markets and tribes.

Of course, the three tribes classified within a radius of 225 kilometers were not so willing to cooperate with the search by the gentlemen of Daxia. But it doesn't matter if they are unwilling to cooperate. Just 2,000 cavalry are no longer something that small tribes like them who lack soldiers can resist. Under such circumstances, even if people want to open the tent to look for crickets, they still have to cooperate and take out bowls.

Phil desperately wanted to try to open the star array, but unfortunately he was always controlled by Jiang Huang's star array - a 200-year-old fourth-level star warlock. Even if he just looked around, he could learn many strange star arrays. It would be easy to restrict him. Something relaxing.

After a long time, Phil gave up and asked, "Is there really any sign of space oscillation here?"

He usually uses the star array to judge. If he loses the opportunity to use the star array, he also loses the ability to judge.

Cheng Jinzhou nodded calmly. He absolutely believed in the detector.

Several star warlocks were people who were accustomed to doing research and could endure loneliness. They waited like this until the sound of hurried footsteps was heard outside the tent.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his head and saw a knight wearing half armor rushing in. He knelt and said, "Your Excellency, we found it."

"How many people are there on the other side?"

The knight showed a strange expression and said: "There is only one."

"Surrounded up?" Cheng Jinzhou disagreed. After border crossers came to this planet, they would naturally do various things. Being alone is not necessarily inferior to recruiting friends, especially when the risk is greater when being discovered.

Unfortunately, Cheng Jinzhou did not wait for him to continue using the trading platform, but made a judgment based on the time and distance of his landing. With so much manpower used to capture a border crosser, the latter may have no other choice but to secretly lament the unfair fate.

"Let's go take a look." Cheng Jinzhou said and stood up.

Several Star Warlocks stood up together with him.

The border crossers surrounded by the cavalry looked at the bright armor around them in confusion, and they could not figure out how they had exposed their whereabouts.

Compared with the previous martyrs, his actions were much wiser. The first thing he did was to contact Lord Buddha.

The cavalry received orders to besiege but not to attack, so they were allowed to chatter away.

But no one could understand him.

Buddha could understand, but he was the last to understand. He looked at the border crosser with blank eyes, pretending not to believe it.

"Send me back, send me back." Looking at the flashing steel knives and the taut bow strings, Mr. Border Crosser has entered a state of fear. He was the last border crosser to arrive, and he knew the fate of his predecessors best, as well as Cheng Jinzhou's strength.

Buddha said in a comforting tone: "Don't be afraid, their weapons are lagging behind, you will be fine if you rush out."

All border crossers carry standard equipment, which is absolutely sufficient for dealing with the aborigines of the feudal era. Of course, it is definitely not enough to deal with Cheng Jinzhou.

But Xiao Cheng already has the title of Star Alliance Level 7, so it is impossible for Buddha to invest more money in it.

At this time, free consolation is the only way.

"Send me back first." The border crosser had some hope, but still wanted to return to a safe place. It is obviously better to go home directly than to stay surrounded by a group of cavalry.

Buddha was unwilling to bear this part of the cost. He looked at the other party apologetically and closed the communication.

Cheng Jinzhou appeared not far away riding a horse.

Andrew seemed to have forgotten the identity of the prisoner, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and said: "You can only determine the location of the space shock. How do you know that he is the person who caused the shock? Moreover, how can a person cause a space shock?"

"Then what happened to the space oscillations you found before?" Cheng Jinzhou was also curious. Border crossers are not cabbage. They can grow out casually and be eaten by animals.

"You know how to bargain." Andrew chuckled and quickly covered his mouth.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at him strangely, feeling that his expressions and movements were extremely inconsistent with his identity as a star warlock.

Andrew avoided his gaze and said nonchalantly: "The space oscillations that Saint Cliff practitioners look for are usually caused by some major changes in nature. Volcanic eruptions are the most common. Earthquakes and floods may cause space oscillations. Another reason is that some These meteorites... In short, it is to maintain the stability of all local people and things."

"Maintaining the stability of nature?" Cheng Jinzhou summarized it in his own words.

"That's right." Andrew responded solemnly.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled and rubbed his chin, thinking about Shengya's purpose in doing this, and pointed forward gently with his finger.

The boss of the three magic archers immediately picked up his bow and arrow.

An astromancer apprentice strung his bowstring, loaded the crossbow bolts, and injected anesthetic into the crossbow bolts.

The anesthetic contains "maphtha" and its hormones. When the crossbow arrow is put under enough pressure, the two will mix, and the "maphtha" will be activated, resulting in a state of paralysis. Otherwise, They are just ordinary liquids.

The bow and arrow shone with black light.

It was a deep, familiar light.

Taking one last look at the screen that had been turned off by customer service, the border crosser suddenly raised a hand and shouted in Daxia dialect: "I surrender!"

All the star warlocks who were recharging their energy were stunned.

This is the wisest border crosser, and he is also the border crosser who sold the best price, although the process of surrender was relatively frustrating.

The knights tied him up and stripped off all his clothes, leaving not even a scrap of cloth. Their speed was so fast and their level was so high. They had been trained in at least dozens of Qin Lou and Chu halls and were fully trained. It shows the living conditions of energetic, leisurely and wealthy soldiers.

"Send it to my tent." Cheng Jinzhou winked at Shi Mo at the same time. The latter stood beside the archers understandingly, urging them to maintain their attack status.

Returning to the tent with Cheng Jinzhou were four high-level star warlocks.

Five people surrounded a naked man who was tied up and started asking various questions.

Cheng Jinzhou was not at all afraid that the so-called Star Alliance would be exposed, but he still made a pointer at the beginning: "About your origins, it is best to only tell me."

He said this in front of Bishop Kant and Warlock Jiang Huangxing.

The two of them had expressionless faces and seemed to acquiesce in Cheng Jinzhou's attitude.

"My name is Punan Jin." Naked and bathed in everyone's gaze, the classmate who crossed the border pondered for a moment, and then lost all restraint.

He could answer whatever he wanted to ask. After losing the possibility of going back, he could only hope that the other person would be a "good person".

The most important part of the answer is where are the others.

Rather than expecting another time and space oscillation, Punanjin's answer was more accurate.

Buddha never carefully considered the possibility of border crossers being captured. He even allowed several border crossers to work together or share information - to a certain extent, this was a good way to reduce costs and improve efficiency, but when the situation changed In the bad season, without strict confidentiality measures, all border crossers were ruined.

Punan Jin could not accurately mark the location of everyone, but even if it was accurate to within a hundred kilometers, it was enough for Cheng Jinzhou to arrange manpower to search for them.

After just half an hour of questioning, Cheng Jinzhou had no doubt that he could catch all the border crossers.

He did the same.

Three days later, on the south side of Hanjing, the fourth border crosser surrendered.

Seven days later, at Sweetwater Prairie, a second border crosser was captured.

Eleven days later, by a river, the fifth border crosser who came to the Northern Han Dynasty was also tied up.

…

And every time a border crosser is caught, Cheng Jinzhou's trainer badge will change.

Even Phil couldn't figure out why even though he was tired to death, he never had a greatly increased experiencer badge, but when it came to Cheng Jinzhou's hands, it changed so quickly.

A month and a half later, the last border crosser was caught, and Cheng Jinzhou's trainer badge turned blue.

At this time, even Warlock Jiang Huangxing and others found it quite strange.

He even asked Phil privately: "Does it mean that practitioners don't need to write articles?"

At this time, Phil looked innocent: "Normal people rely on writing articles to increase their level."

The implication is that Cheng Jinzhou has transcended the category of normal people.

Warlock Jiang Huangxing was convinced.

Buddha, who had lost all the border crossers, acted extremely relaxed. Perhaps in his opinion, those who cross the border will suffer losses sooner or later, and dying at the hands of Cheng Jinzhou is far better than dying at the hands of examiners and others.

In terms of the impact, perhaps the biggest change is Buddha's attitude. When he is facing Cheng Jinzhou, he is really facing an agent of Star Alliance level 7. It's just that from Star Alliance level 5 to Star Alliance level 7, he also Some cannot adapt to that rapid change.

Returning to the Northern Han Dynasty, the so-called Hanjing has almost completely integrated into the atmosphere of the occupied city, and the prosperity of the streets has greatly increased.

The entire southwestern Daxia army also made preparations for the return journey.

Because the Daxia court was finally ready to take over this gift that it was unwilling to accept.
