King
Chapter 128 Fighting Locusts
The little girl's words made the caravan speed up. As if some taboo had been touched, the old man couldn't even take care of business.
Maybe it has nothing to do with the fact that these businesses are not profitable.
After all, the old man's business vision is as accurate as ever. Being able to maintain a balance of income and expenditure depends on "luck".
In his own words:
“The big money-making deals have long been taken care of by the big shots.
Ordinary people who want to get involved in it will only bring disaster to themselves.
Earning some hard-earned money and being safe are the most important things. "
…
As night fell, the old man who left the convoy suddenly changed his appearance.
The old skin became rounded, and the wrinkles on the face gradually disappeared, as if he suddenly looked thirty years younger.
"Holy Lord, we have completed the mission you ordered.
The locusts were lured to disperse and scattered all the way to the southeastern province according to your instructions. At this moment, the locust army is gathering there in a steady stream.
It's just that the nobles reacted quickly and have now arrived in Qiaomu County, apparently preparing to hunt down the Insect King on the way.
This aristocratic team is very powerful. Magisters, earth knights and other hidden powerhouses that are rarely seen in ordinary times have now appeared.
It can be boldly guessed that the high-end combat power of the entire southeastern province has all gathered here at this moment.
Among the magicians who participated in the operation, the weakest ones were also high-level magicians. The most powerful knights are also great knights, and all of these guys carry Warcraft.
Coupled with the cooperation of the army organized by the local nobles in Qiaomu County, no one can say whether the Insect King can break through the blockade. "
The middle-aged man reported anxiously.
After witnessing the noble heritage with his own eyes, the middle-aged man's arrogance had long since disappeared without a trace. If it hadn't been for this locust plague, I might never have had the chance to see it in this life.
The small fights of the Skull and Bones Society are simply not enough to make everyone go all out. Just putting the power on the surface can suppress them countless times.
“Karlis, don’t be blinded by temporary success or failure.
It doesn’t matter if you succeed or if you fail.
This is not our fight, and the nobles are not our real enemies. They are strong, which is not a bad thing for us.
It's just a transaction, and the locust plague has reached this point, which is enough for those bastards to go back and take credit.
Even if the Insect King fails to enter the Southeast Province, the scattered locust army alone is enough to achieve our goal.
The nobles' attention is distracted and they won't be able to bother us in the short term. Your next mission is to find the Blood Moon Horn.
Dadir City was the last place where the Blood Moon Horn appeared, and the nobles who entered the city last year to put down the rebellion were all suspected.
This is the best opportunity to take action. You must keep a low profile and don't cause any more trouble before you find the Blood Moon Horn. "
It has to be said that the anti-Vatican organization is lurking in the ranks supported by the Holy See, which is a kind of irony.
The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. The anti-armor of the Skull and Bones Society actually covers up all reasonable and unreasonable actions.
As a cult organization, they never follow the rules. If you change the style, no one will find it strange.
It looks suspicious, but it's just normal operation. If there are no problems, is it still a cult?
"Holy Lord, we have done things so cleanly, why don't we leave some traces and let the nobles and the Holy See bite the dogs?"
Kallis asked doubtfully.
Provoking a conflict between the Holy See and the aristocratic group was their dream plan. But when the opportunity presented itself, the Skeleton Lord in front of him did the opposite.
Not only did it not expose the existence of the Holy See, it even deliberately removed any human traces and tried its best to hide it.
"Karlis, your thinking is too simple. Although the Holy See is corrupt, it does not mean that those guys are really stupid.
By deliberately leaving traces, wouldn’t it expose us to them?
Now is not the time to fall out. Before we gain the support of new major forces, we cannot do without the support of the Holy See for the time being.
Even if they leave no trace, those nobles will still find the Holy See. For big forces, evidence has never been a problem.
Mere suspicion was enough for them to draw their conclusions.
Didn't you suffer a loss last time? "
The Skeleton Lord's words made Kallis very embarrassed.
Only those in the middle and lower classes regard evidence and clues as important.
If you are led away by your own cognition and bring your own ideas into other people's decisions, how can you not suffer a disadvantage?
…
In Qiaomu County, after a simple regional division, several big bosses each led people to take charge of an area.
Each team was evenly distributed, including magicians, knights, and local nobles and private troops who came to cooperate.
They are really just cooperating. The noble private army pulls the net to capture the locusts. Their main task is to report the traces of the Insect King immediately.
Hunt?
No matter how weak a monster is, it is still a monster and cannot be dealt with by ordinary people.
What's more, a creature like the Insect King flies extremely fast. Even the fastest war horse can't catch up, let alone an ordinary person.
As the youngest team leader, Hudson has the highest turnaround rate wherever he goes.
It is conceivable that after experiencing this wave, he will become "other people's children" in the eyes of more parents.
Looking at the various equipment used to deal with locusts, although the tools are a bit crude, they are generally experienced.
In addition to the various nets, the thing that most attracted Hudson's attention was the prepared smoke. Thick smoke drives away locusts. It should be the most effective method for ordinary people to use given the existing scientific and technological means.
Not counting magicians, there are all kinds of magic devices. Although he doesn't know how to use them, his intuition tells Hudson that these inconspicuous gadgets must be very lethal to locusts.
In addition to physical means, there are also locust-repelling potions made by alchemists on a temporary basis.
It is almost as effective as an insecticide and has a good effect on small groups of locusts. Once they encounter an army of locusts commanded by the Insect King, they will instantly lose their effectiveness.
Hudson was also confused in this regard. It was as if the Insect King had a unique talent. The locusts driven by it would not only increase their resistance to pesticides, but also increase their combat effectiveness.
If the Insect King appears, the situation will be even worse. It is said that under the command of the Insect King, these vegetarian locusts will not even spare the meat.
Once the Insect King is born, humans and animals will be extinct everywhere he goes, and very few creatures will survive.
Although he was the leader in name, he actually didn't need Hudson to command anything.
The powerful men who participated in this operation all had their own areas of responsibility, and the magicians were also equipped with knights for protection.
The noble private troops who came to cooperate were naturally commanded by the noble lords themselves.
As the nominal commander, his main task is to immediately rush over to capture or kill the Insect King after discovering it.
In order to improve efficiency, two gryphon cavalry who took turns to fly into the air for inspection followed Hudson.
Choosing a creek to stop at, the bored Hudson quietly watched Bear Stearns play in the water.
The naughty child is in the most curious stage of his life, and everything he sees feels new.
Sometimes I catch crabs, sometimes fish and shrimps, and from time to time I take them to show off my achievements to Hudson.
In order to make the little guy work hard next, Hudson directly transformed into an enthusiastic big brother, constantly affirming the naughty kid's record.
"Buzz, buzz..."
The sound of wings flapping sounded, and Hudson's expression suddenly became serious, and he finally came.
Thanks to the magician's efforts, the rising thick black smoke seemed to have grown legs and headed directly towards the locust army.
The war begins.
Reaching out and patting the cub on the shoulder, Hudson said with a smile:
"Bear Stearns, it's time to get to work.
Get rid of these nasty little bugs, but don't hurt any of your own people. "
Bear Stearns, who was disturbed, rolled his black eyes and slapped the ground with his bear paw, making the whole earth tremble.
This guy definitely did it on purpose. Before he could blame Bear Stearns for causing trouble, he heard the sound of "Shua...".
Centered on the cub, wherever Hudson could see, locusts kept falling from the sky as if they were drunk.
"Gravity field?"
Hudson asked uncertainly.
Vaguely, he did feel that his body was a little heavier, but the increase was not large.
The serf soldiers who were pulling nets to catch locusts nearby were not affected either. Had it not been for the constant falling of locusts, Hudson would have almost ignored it.
Such a small power is completely inconsistent with the name of "Gravity Domain".
As if aware of his thoughts, Bear Stearns said angrily: "Do you need to use all your strength to deal with a group of little bugs?
What's more, I still have you as my contractual partner. If I accidentally squeeze you into a pulp, who will be responsible for me..."
As if aware of the faux pas, Bear Stearns swallowed the words when they came to his lips.
Just bragging, that's all.
If the long-term meal ticket is irritated and turns back to chew the black and hard iron lump bread, that is not the life of a bear.
It's not that easy to find a partner who can take care of the food and help it improve its strength.
Except for being a bit weak, in other aspects, Hudson's partner fully meets the Bear's requirements.
"Stop talking nonsense here. Who doesn't know what kind of bear you are? There are many nasty bugs. Come with me to patrol the defense area."
As he spoke, Hudson was already on the bear's back.
Apparently, he was already immune to Bear Stearns' bragging.
Theoretically speaking, Bear Stearns did awaken all the Earth Bear's innate supernatural powers. It's just about the power, that's a bit hard to describe.
In the field of gravity, if the range of application is compressed within a few meters, it may be possible to take Hudson away.
But after the range of application is expanded, it will be good to be able to bring down the locusts.
At the very least, Hudson saw many bugs fluttering and struggling after landing, and then falling again.
If it could be solved once and for all, with this guy's pretentious style, this situation would never happen.
But being able to bring down the locusts is enough. It doesn't hurt if something slips through the net occasionally.
It's a pity that there is only one bear of the earth, there must be dozens of them. Release it in front of the locust army and make sure not a single locust leaves alive.
Riding on the back of Bear Stearns' bear, he patrolled his defense zone all the way. The locust armies landed one after another along the way. One person and one bear instantly became the most beautiful scenery on the battlefield.
After a preliminary estimate of the scope of Bear Stearns' gravity field, the result surprised Hudson.
Within a radius of one mile, not a single locust can fly. Most locusts, after suffering a sudden heavy blow, will end their life after two flutters.
Even if an insect life is saved, it will be quickly made up for by the army of serfs, and the arrangements are clear.
A little further up, the thin locusts will fall down, but the strong locusts can still stand strong.
In short, the closer the locust is to the cub, the more miserable it is. It will take more than two or three miles before you can completely get rid of the influence of the gravity field.
The brilliant performance made Hudson want to ride a cub for a walk among the locust army. Just by retracting and releasing the gravity field a few times, you can kill all the locusts in the area covered by the field.
In terms of insecticide efficiency, this is more efficient and environmentally friendly than any pesticide. No matter how large the locust army is, it can be overwhelmed.
Just thinking of the purpose of this time, Hudson finally suppressed this tempting idea. After such a fuss, the locust army dispersed, but the culprit King of Insects also escaped with him.
For a race like locusts that reproduces at an incredible speed, as long as there is one insect king alive, it won't be long before there is another army of locusts.
Becoming the Insect King of Warcraft will increase your lifespan and wisdom.
If they were left to live in the world for a longer period of time, their IQ levels would probably be able to catch up with humans. At that time, it will become even more difficult to deal with.
If the struggle lasts for a long time, the Insect King who has absorbed a large amount of calamity energy will have the opportunity to advance to become the Insect King.
Having developed into the Insect King stage, the destructive power of the locust army has reached a level of destruction.
The best response is to discover the insect king and immediately use thunderous means to kill it, without giving it a chance to cause a locust plague.
At this point, the locust army has formed a large scale, and it is even more important to kill the insect king.
According to the news from the Governor's Mansion, there were slightly more insect kings appearing in this locust plague. Several insect kings were hunted and killed in several neighboring provinces, but the insect army still did not disperse.
Now the royal capital has ordered to capture as many people as possible alive. Obviously, there are more stories behind this locust plague.
Hudson, who didn't want to get angry, didn't dare to ruin the big shot's bug-catching plan at this juncture.
The battle to exterminate the locusts is still going on, and it is not just the Earth Bear that is taking the limelight on the battlefield. Although the other monsters are not so easy, they also gave everyone wonderful performances.
Count Pierce's Flame Lion is equivalent to the saliva of magma. When it is sprayed out, it becomes a flamethrower.
The flames that are tens of meters long and the aroma emitted by the roasted locusts can float for several miles. Seeing the army of serfs, their mouths watered.
If the noble lord who witnessed all this hadn't repeatedly emphasized that locusts are not edible. I guess these guys can't help but go up and taste it.
The magician Yuli who displeased Hudson the most also killed everyone on the battlefield. Not only does he have a magic circle specifically designed to target locusts, but his Warcraft mount also performs surprisingly well.
Even though everyone plugged their ears, they were still numbed by the weird cry.
The "Cracking Sound Beast" specializes in making noise. Its most powerful magical power is making noise, and its strongest attack technique is also noise.
It is famous throughout the Aslant continent for making a lot of noise.
The most fair evaluation given by the outside world to the cry of the "Cracking Sound Beast" is: those who hear it want to skin it; those who listen to it want to crush its bones and spread it into ashes.
Not only is he notorious in the human world, he is also disliked by beasts in the World of Warcraft. The specific manifestation is: after hearing the sound of the crackling beast from a distance, Bear Stearns wanted to go over and hammer it.
This move was approved by Hudson, but in the end he restrained his emotions. After all, we are still teammates now, we can't kill each other and let Locust see the joke.
It is estimated that there are many monsters with similar performance. Who asked this guy to amplify his moves and treat them together regardless of the enemy or friend?
Pitfalls are pitfalls, but the power of sonic power is indeed powerful. Anyway, after coming here all at once, the dense army of locusts in Hudson's sight disappeared.
The most legendary thing is that two Insect King warriors rushed out of the locust army and ran directly to duel with the "Cracking Sound Beast". The result was naturally to help the noble camp achieve zero breakthrough in record.
The enemy is stunned with anger, and the power of the noise attack can be imagined. Unfortunately, he killed a thousand enemies and lost five hundred to himself.
Not to mention the serfs who fell to the ground wailing and crying, even a determined man like Hudson kept rubbing his ears.
These are still colleagues who are far away from each other but are close to each other. They don’t know how badly they have been cheated.
If someone insists on going his own way and refuses the reminder to plug his ears, he will definitely feel sour now.
Frankly speaking, it is a miracle that such a hatred-inducing monster has not been exterminated to this day.
Now Hudson somewhat understands Magister Uli. It is understandable that he suffers from mental illness after dealing with such monsters every day.
Afraid of comparison in everything, watching a group of alternative monsters vying to be the first to perform, Hudson suddenly felt that Bear Stearns was really good.
Although I am a little bit lazy, a little bragging, rude and uncultured... but overall it is bearable.
If it were a crackling beast, and a voice like this suddenly came when he was in a bad mood, Hudson couldn't guarantee that he would kill it.
Fortunately, the ultimate move of "Cracking Sound Beast" is limited. After doing this move, you need to rest for a few days. Otherwise, if he keeps struggling, Hudson will be very afraid that he will run away.
The black dot that appeared on the horizon pulled Hudson out of his thoughts. I have to admit that the locust army is determined and dares to continue coming after being tortured like this.
If they were in a normal army and knew how terrifying the front was, they would probably have fled in all directions.
"Bear Stearns, you've seen the Insect King too. Keep an eye out.
After finally making a trip, we can’t let others take away all the credit. If this spreads out, it will bring disgrace to your Earth Bear clan. "
Hudson worked hard to encourage Xiong Xin.
But Bear Stearns didn't buy it. Instead, he turned his head and looked at him, holding out a huge bear paw to signal - split the account.
Having a high IQ is not a good thing at first sight. Bear Stearns is not very good at calculating accounts clearly. He even learned to read the ledger in order not to be cheated.
Looking into the distance, Hudson spread his hands and said: "Don't worry, add two to one and make five. We will split all the profits in half and we will never treat you badly!"
Looking at the immobile bear paw, he knew that this plan did not win the approval of the cub.
My own bears are becoming increasingly difficult to trap. Hudson was very helpless. Who would have thought that this lazy guy's wisdom would grow so fast.
"Okay, the one thousand gold coin bounty is yours too. Don't refuse in a hurry, although you will do the most to catch the Insect King next.
But this deal is what I came forward to do. I will have to negotiate with them for subsequent rewards.
Each insect king allows you to get an extra thousand gold coins, which is interesting enough. If I ask for more, won’t my work be in vain?
Think about it, one thousand gold coins can buy hundreds of sheep, which can produce milk every day..."
There is nothing that cannot be linked to animal milk. Once the measurement unit is converted, the brain circuit of the cub will change.
This time is no exception. Bear Stearns, who began to calculate how many sheep and cattle could be exchanged, quickly retracted his paws, turned his head, and focused his gaze on the locust army.
That scorching look in his eyes made people scared. It was as if what it saw in front of it at this moment was not an army of locusts, but basins of animal milk mixed with honey.
