The rumor of a squad of soldiers on the fortress walls obtaining gold quickly spread among the other squads, making many envious.
This was the so-called windfall.
The amusing story of "Goblins delivering gold" added a rare bit of fun to the dull and monotonous fortress walls.
Meanwhile.
Tang Zheng and Lizardman Kuruche returned to the Abelion Hills.
The construction of the castle was not fast, but with the ample Demi-human labor, the general outline and foundation had been built.
However, the aesthetics of the Blue Maggot, Pandes, and Ogre races were truly different from normal human aesthetics, causing the castle to lean towards an alternative and chaotic style during the construction process.
To this.
Tang Zheng could only determine a general architectural style and then let these Demi-humans freely develop it. Building the castle was not really for enjoyment, but to convey the meaning that he would be staying here for a long time.
Lizardman Kuruche was arranged to conduct Magic research in the Blue Maggot tribe's cave.
A clearing on the hill.
Tang Zheng, wrapped in a red robe, quietly watched the beautiful environment below the hill. The distant jungle, river, and weedy wasteland came into view.
The air was slightly cool.
The winter cold had not completely receded, and the wind blowing from the depths of the Abelion Hills seemed to contain a trace of chaos and bloodiness.
"I want to know what you are going to do next."
A large, light green figure walked over from behind. Go Gin's white eyes stared at Tang Zheng, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, and said in a muffled voice, "Otherwise, those guys might misunderstand your intentions."
Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze from the distance and said faintly without turning his head, "Oh, Go Gin, what do you want to ask?"
Go Gin's white fangs on both sides of his upper lip curled up, and he sneered, "For example, what are you going to do by sending Goblins and Ogres with gold to the human Holy Kingdom?"
"They are already dead, and besides, Long that guy told me that you are still planning to send people with gold over there!"
Long was the name of the Water Element Ogre.
Although Go Gin never regarded Goblins and ordinary Ogres, who had little intelligence and were close relatives to Demon Creatures, as his own kind, he also hated this kind of random suicide.
Go Gin knew very well how bad the grudges between the Holy Kingdom and the Demi-humans in the Hills were.
"Are you feeling sorry for the gold?" Tang Zheng turned around.
The gold carried by the Ogre and several Goblins who went to the Holy Kingdom was not really gold, but Gold Ore.
That's right.
There were Gold Mines in the Abelion Hills, and not just Gold Mines, but various types of mineral resources were very abundant.
This used to be the capital built by the Hill Dwarves, so naturally there would be no shortage of various mineral veins. Unfortunately, very few of the various races in the Hills today were truly capable of utilizing these mineral veins.
Not to mention various precious minerals in human society, even Gold, Silver, and Copper mines were not of much significance to the major Demi-human Races.
"I don't mean that, my lord."
Go Gin looked at the man, who was clearly small and frail, as if he could be slapped to death, but a sense of fear rose in his heart. "I do have some doubts."
"Since you are of great use to me, I can clear your doubts, but before that."
Tang Zheng chuckled in a hoarse voice, stepping past Go Gin's massive figure, "You need to figure out what is most valuable to all races in the Abelion Hills."
"Let's go, it's time to set off."
"This mysterious guy!" Go Gin said with a sullen face, watching Tang Zheng's figure gradually disappear.
The area where the Blue Maggot and Pandes tribes are located,
Is located in the southern part of the Hills, close to the mountains, which is one of the two major mountain ranges in the Hills.
It is also an important mountain range that divides the Hills from the border of the Slane Theocracy. It is said that on the other side of the mountain range is the border city of the Slane Theocracy.
To the west of this area is the territory of a powerful Demi-human Race, whose strength far exceeds that of the Blue Maggot tribe and the Pandes tribe.
This Demi-human Race is the Demon Manifested People! They are thin, and their appearance is slightly similar to humans. They are a special Demi-human Race with 4 arms.
The most powerful aspect of this race is their innate ability to use Magic, and they can use up to Fourth Tier Magic.
The royal family or those with extraordinary talents will awaken the ability of a Magic Caster, reaching the level where they can use Fifth Tier Magic.
Such a powerful race is only considered one of the top races among the Demi-human Race in the entire Hills. It can be seen how many terrifying and powerful races exist in the Abelion Hills.
No wonder the Holy Kingdom, whose comprehensive national strength is even stronger than the Re-Estize Kingdom, can only build walls and fortresses on the border to resist the Demi-humans in the Hills.
Even the Slane Theocracy, which is next door and hates Demi-humans with "human supremacy," can only reduce their numbers.
Of course.
With the foundation of the Slane Theocracy, if they want to completely solve the problem of the Hills, it is not impossible. Killing Death does not even need to be dispatched, just sending the God-Human Captain can solve it.
Otherwise, using a few Seventh Tier "Angel Summoning" sealed Magic Crystals can completely sweep through.
Tang Zheng recalled information about the Demon Manifested People while waving his arm, "*Flight!*"
Whoosh! A blue light flashed from his body.
Tang Zheng's figure rose into the air, quickly disappearing into the sky.
This time to the Demon Manifested People's territory.
Tang Zheng did not bring anyone, but went alone. Go Gin and the Water Element Ogre needed to stay behind to guard the Fortress.
Although the strength of the two is not weak, they have no advantage against the Demon Manifested People who are born with the ability to use Magic.
The territory of the Demon Manifested People is close to the forest and water source.
This is a beautiful and resource-rich area. Perhaps because of their strong individual strength, the number of Demon Manifested People is not large.
Simple houses built mainly of wood and animal skins are distributed on both sides of the river, with roofs covered with thatch and leaves.
Located in the center of the Tribe.
On a peculiar altar built of neat wooden boards, various Demon Creature hides are hung. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that these hides are engraved with various Magic-like tattoos.
A Demon Manifested People exuding a noble aura stood quietly among these hides, with eyes closed, and 4 arms each opened, posing in a unique and mysterious posture.
A faint magical power flowed from this Demon Manifested Person.
This Demon Manifested Person was none other than the queen of the tribe, Nasurine Beilt Qiule, also one of the "Demi-Human Ten Heroes," known as "Ice Flame Lightning."
The lifespan of Demon Manifested People far exceeds that of ordinary humans and most Demi-human Race, and she was a well-known figure in the Hills area.
Among the "Demi-Human Ten Heroes," she could be ranked among the top five strongest existences.
The magical power around Nasurine fluctuated faintly, also driving the surrounding air to change, sometimes becoming cold, and sometimes becoming somewhat hot.
Even if one observed carefully, one could see faint flashes of electricity, fleeting in the air.
"Hmm!"
Suddenly, Nasurine's closed eyes abruptly opened, the temperature of the air suddenly dropped and became cold, she felt a powerful magical fluctuation.
Before she could completely react.
Boom!! A huge roar came from the periphery of the Tribe, making a loud noise, followed by a sharp and rapid horn sound.
That was the emergency horn sounded when the Tribe was attacked.
"The enemy is coming!!"
"Protect the Queen!"
"Counterattack, how dare they invade our Demon Manifested People!"
Angry, chaotic roars rang out from all directions, although they were suddenly attacked, the situation seemed to quickly stabilize.
This was also one of the advantages of having a small population, they could quickly gather their companions, so as not to cause greater chaos.
"Attack?"
A cold look appeared on Nasurine's face, how long had it been since she became queen that an attack had occurred.
She quickly went through the other Demi-human Race that might attack the Tribe in her mind, and found that it was unlikely.
"The magical fluctuation just now is at least at the Third Tier level, this is not some small character."
"This is a headache."
Nasurine put down her four arms that were making unique gestures, one of her arms grabbed towards the corner.
A Magic Staff about the height of a person, with three sharp blades on each side, two notched rings on the top, and a blue Mana Gem embedded in the center, flew into her hand.
"I wonder where this reckless junior popped out from."
Nasurine held the Magic Staff, turned around and walked out of the altar, squinting her eyes with a cold light flashing.
Whoosh—whoosh—
The tattooed animal skins hanging around also automatically dispersed.
Nasurine walked out of the altar, and several Demon Manifested People were already waiting respectfully outside, "Queen!"
"Queen!"
"Queen!" These Demon Manifested People immediately bowed respectfully.
"What's the situation?" Na Su Li Ni was too lazy to waste words, her voice indifferent and without emotional fluctuations.
At this moment.
At the outermost edge of the Tribe's territory, the barrier formed by the fence was destroyed, and a straight, charred mark appeared on the ground.
Wherever it passed, whether it was Rock, houses, or buildings in front, they were all destroyed in one breath and turned into ashes.
A faint burnt smell permeated the air!
Tang Zheng stood quietly at the destroyed fence, looking at the dozen or so Demon Manifested People who had rushed over at the first moment, waves of Mana fluctuations emanating from these Demon Manifested People.
"What, there's only one enemy!"
"This attire, a human?"
"Who are you!"
"..."
As soon as these Demon Manifested People appeared, they immediately looked at Tang Zheng, while observing the surroundings to see if there were any other enemies.
"Is your Queen Na Su Li Ni in the Tribe?" Tang Zheng ignored the inquiries of these Demon Manifested People, his hoarse voice sounded.
"Intruder, you're courting death!!"
"How can you call our Queen's name so disrespectfully."
Hearing Tang Zheng say the four words "Na Su Li Ni" without any respect, all the Demon Manifested People were enraged.
"So it seems, she should be in the Tribe."
Tang Zheng nodded slightly when he saw the reaction of this group of people: "That's good."
"Sand Domain - All!"
Rumble—
A huge Magic circle appeared under the feet of these dozen or so Demon Manifested People in an instant, and a large amount of quicksand gushed out, sweeping over like waves.
The Demon Manifested People roared one by one, releasing Magic to fight back, but the moment these sand grains touched these people, the Mana seemed to be sealed, and they couldn't use it at all.
"What's going on!"
"Magic can't be released!"
Feelings of astonishment, incomprehension, and doubt appeared on the faces of all the Demon Manifested People, and then were replaced by Fear.
In the blink of an eye, these people were all locked in place by the quicksand, unable to move at all.
"Magic Arrow!" Tang Zheng waved his finger again.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Ten arrows condensed out of thin air and shot out, easily penetrating the heads of these Demon Manifested People who were silenced and unable to move.
Fresh blood mixed with white brain matter splattered! A dozen or so powerful Demon Manifested People who rushed over at the first moment all died in this one breath.
