Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System-Chapter 429 - 196: Reviewing the Spoils, Acting Boldly
After calming his emotions, Lear dissipated his aura and slowly descended onto the city wall.
At this moment, the images in the minds of the residents finally disappeared.
But now, everyone was filled with fervor in their hearts.
No wonder, Weilu City is so extraordinary!
It turns out that the lord who has provided them with a prosperous life all along is a divine spirit reborn!
A deity, the god of the swamp has returned!
Praise the lord, praise Your Majesty!
The residents, having survived the calamity, were not at ease; instead, their emotions surged stronger and stronger.
In their excitement, their faith began to deepen, enhancing the power of faith provided to Lear.
Feeling this, Lear was increasingly pleased. He wasn’t interested in being a godly zealot, but he was very interested in gaining power from faith to increase his strength.
After calming his emotions, he waved to let the kneeling soldiers on the wall rise.
At this moment, the Cold-blooded Cavalry had all advanced to Level 12, reaching their potential limit.
This army, even placed in a Northern Territory center like Lorand City, was among the elite.
Every one of them could serve as a deputy commander of a hundred-person squadron!
His mood was exceptionally pleasant.
The duration of this war was not long, but the gains were extremely substantial.
Firstly, the Desolate Tombs, which initially broke through from Level 14 to Level 15, also brought the two thousand Ghost Soldier Tomb Guards up to Level 15.
This gave Weilu City a ferocious ace army.
Moreover, they were capable of continuous resurrection! It could only be described as abnormal.
In addition, the Crimson Wasps also welcomed a transformation.
Although the swarm didn’t play a role in this battle, once the awakening Queen Bee finished advancing, it would follow his pace once more.
He would once again possess an army filled with a deadly threat.
The swarm is like a suicide bombing drone; the key is, the Queen Bee can use the energy from the Land of Crimson Rot to hatch more swarms continuously.
This is practically cheating in battle.
Used properly, it would be no worse than the Desolate Tomb Guards.
Third, the fully-leveled Cold-blooded Cavalry, these legendary Lizard-man soldiers, numbering close to two thousand.
Upon reaching Level 12, their combat power had reached an exaggerated level.
This significantly enhanced his strength.
Fourth, the followers.
Under the enormous threat of external enemies, through his subtle guidance, the territory’s residents had changed their faith, becoming his followers.
This was a crucial step, marking the true beginning of his mastery of divine power!
In the future, the Swamp Sect would take Weilu City as its foundation and constantly expand its influence around.
The journey of a thousand miles began with a single step.
Fifth, the imprisoned dragon lich.
This fearsome being, which would transform into a Level 19 Corpse Dragon, was currently detained.
As a lich, it would not die unless its Life Box was destroyed... he could only destroy its body and could not completely kill it.
Moreover, because its soul resided in the Life Box, it couldn’t be enslaved.
Nonetheless, this dragon lich still came at a considerable cost.
Even if it couldn’t be enslaved, interrogating it might yield more valuable intelligence.
For example... the Undead Plane.
He was very interested in this.
Undead souls could help the army level up, breaking through potential limits.
If it were possible to hunt in the Undead Plane...
The thought was thrilling.
However, the risks involved were considerable, so caution was necessary.
But as his mastery of the Authority of the Swamp deepened, his confidence grew.
The rules of the Main Plane prevent divine spirits from entering, so as long as he stays in the swamp, he need not fear any enemy attack.
Here, he could wield a portion of divine power, while outsiders could not.
This was akin to an invincible cheat, offering a huge advantage.
Some adventurous actions could now be undertaken with discretion.
Thinking of this, Lear’s mood lightened.
Overall, this battle was highly profitable, with the greatest loss being merely the arrows used by the Dark Night Hunter to shoot down gargoyles.
His army suffered no casualties thanks to his extraordinary healing abilities...
A resounding victory.
And after eliminating the dragon lich’s threat, the safety of Weilu City was significantly enhanced.
As for the two nemeses from the Other Plane—the Demigod Master of Stench and Flies and the Tyrant Monarch.
He now had enough power to deal with them.
Should they dare extend their hand into the swamp, he would sever it without hesitation!
Lear took a deep breath, gathering his scattered thoughts, and glanced around.
By now, the sky was gradually brightening.
A few brave residents cautiously began leaving their homes.
Lear ordered the army to disperse and sent people to comfort the residents who had been terrified all night.
This battle brought immense gains not just to the army, but also represented a transformation for Weilu City.
The external threat had made the whole territory more united and cohesive.
As residents emerged from their homes and saw others, they felt a strong sense of kinship.
Last night, they had shared life and death.
This feeling significantly reduced the barriers and strangeness between residents.
Soon, people overflowed with words to express, and they began to gather spontaneously in front of the square by the City Hall.
Each, with surging emotions, discussed the scenes they had witnessed.
Last night, they witnessed a historic moment; not only did Weilu City repel the attack of the undead army.
