The appearance of the Zern King caused Maglot and the other Zerns to immediately surround him, watching Minori in the sky warily, fearing that he would launch an attack at any moment.
"King, how could you appear on the front lines at this time? Quickly escort the King away, we will definitely fight to the death to hold them back—..." Maglot's tense voice rang out.
"Enough." The dignified voice of a middle-aged man came from the purple cocoon-like worm.
The appearance characteristics of the Zern tribe's females and males have obvious differences. Judging from the appearance alone, they look like two different races.
"The invaders have already broken into the hinterland. As the King, how can I abandon my people and flee!"
The Zern King opened his mouth loudly. Although it was impossible to distinguish changes in expression from his appearance, one could feel the serious and tough attitude from his tone.
"Human who controls the undead, what do you want to do by leading the Troll clan to invade my territory!" The Zern King raised his worm-like head, the air vibrated, and he issued a loud question.
The powerful and forceful voice spread out, alleviating and reducing the Zern tribe's chaotic and fearful emotions.
"Hehe——' A hoarse sneer came from above, along with the sharp sound of the Bone Dragon flapping its wings.
Minori looked down at the Zerns below, especially the purple worm figure in the middle: "I know you want to delay time."
"Besides you, the Zern tribe should have another royal family member, right? Is it escaping right now?"
As soon as these words came out, the Zern King's purple glowing wrinkled body trembled slightly, and the rest of the Zern's suppressed panic spread again.
"I don't like to talk nonsense. Use your strongest attack. If you can hurt me, I will retreat my troops immediately, Zern King."
Minori raised his foot and stepped on the Bone Dragon.
"Roar!" The Bone Dragon twisted its slender bone neck and let out a roar like a dragon and a beast.
"Good!"
The Zern King realized that the human who controlled the undead in front of him did not intend to kill them all.
At the same time, a surge of anger welled up in his heart.
No matter what, he was the King of the Zern tribe, and the strongest of the entire race. The other party's behavior of not taking him seriously was an insult to the royal family!
The Zern King twisted his body, and in ordinary people's perception, a terrifying magic power emanated from his body.
As everyone knows, the holy attribute and the fire attribute are the most effective means to fight against the undead.
"Magic Enhancement · Fire Type—Great Fireball!"
The high-pitched chanting voice caused the magic power to begin to vibrate.
Whoosh!
A red fireball with a diameter of one meter, burning with intense flames, condensed above the Zern King's head, releasing scorching high temperature and firelight.
The soldiers around who were protecting the Zern King couldn't help but lean back, showing expressions of fear and worship.
"Go!" The Zern shouted.
Rumble!
The huge fireball flew towards Minori in mid-air. Facing this attack, which was already considered terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people,
Minori still stood on the head of the Bone Dragon, with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
The red hood and mask covered his face, making it impossible to see through the human's thoughts, but the expression he showed revealed a sense of contempt.
"Fourth-tier spiritual magic? I thought you could use the power of fifth-tier magic, but it's all the same."
Minori's eyes were indifferent. As long as it wasn't the seventh tier, it wouldn't be enough to cause damage to the Bone Dragon. What surprised him slightly was that the magic enhancement used by the Zern King was a magic enhancement specially for enhancing the five elements.
Under everyone's gaze, the huge fireball smashed into the Bone Dragon's body, making a muffled explosion.
The firelight illuminated the sky.
The red flames dissipated.
Minori and the Bone Dragon were still suspended in mid-air unharmed.
"This—this, how is this possible!"
The ZernKing trembled all over, his wriggling body fell backward, his voice revealing unprecedented shock and panic.
Maglot was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and quickly reached out to support the fallen Zern King, his catfish-like eyes also showing deep shock.
In the previous battle, the magic released by the spellcasters among the Zerns could not injure the Bone Dragon Undead creature controlled by that human.
Maglot originally thought that their spellcasters were too weak.
But the King was a powerful magic caster who had mastered fourth-tier magic, and he used fire magic that could cause great damage to the undead.
But it still couldn't affect the Bone Dragon, which had exceeded their level of understanding.
The air began to become quiet.
The heavy pressure made the Zern tribe unable to breathe.
"Let go of me, Maglot."
After a brief silence, the Zern King recovered from his dazed emotions and spoke softly to Maglot beside him.
"King." Maglot was full of unwillingness, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
They were completely defeated!
On the ground, the Troll clan's forces were far lower than their troop numbers, but Trolls have always been a race with low intelligence and violent brute force.
What was headache-inducing were the three Troll powerhouses.
These three people alone were enough to easily break through their defenses. If that was all, they could use the disparity in troops to pile up their compatriots' bodies and control the situation.
But the most terrifying thing was this powerful human who controlled the undead.
All magic was unable to cause damage to him, and they couldn't even contain him, plus he had air supremacy with his ability to fly...
Whirr--
—
The Zern soldiers in front opened a path.
The Zern King wriggled his body, came to the front, straightened his worm-like waist, and slowly prostrated on the ground: "I, I, am willing to submit."
Clang clang—Clang clang. The weapons in the hands of the Zern soldiers fell to the ground, making dense metallic collision sounds.
With the surrender of the Zern King, the other members of the Zern tribe completely gave up resistance. This was the characteristic of this race; the King's orders and will were above all else.
The reason for choosing the Troll and Zern clans was because these two races had similar characteristics.
The entire war started quickly and ended quickly. In order to save time, Minori used magic to attack forcefully and pushed through. The entire process took less than a day.
Due to Minori holding the front, the Troll hundred-man team only lost half of their personnel, while the Zern tribe's casualties were much more tragic, reaching around 800.
With the cooperation of the Zern King, the population of the Zern tribe was quickly counted. There were still more than 4,200 people. The Zern Prince, who was about to escape the border of the tribe, was also brought back by the Mist Witch.
With two royal family members in hand, the entire Zern tribe was completely under Minori's control.
However, Minori did not stop immediately, but summoned a 1,000-man Zern team and attacked the Pandex race near the Zern tribe.
This race and the Zern tribe are closely related. They are both maggots, but the royal family is slightly different. The kingdom is governed by a female queen, which is the so-called "Mother of the Nation."
The Pandex clan is even weaker than the Zern tribe.
Minori didn't even spend much effort. He easily broke into the hinterland with just the Zern troops. The only slightly troublesome thing was the Pandex Mother of the Nation.
The opponent was also a fourth-tier Mental magic caster.
Interestingly.
Not only are Zerns and Pandex close relatives, but they also both possess the mental-based spellcaster class. If Zerns possess the power to manipulate the Yin aspect of the Five Elements,
then Pandex possesses the ability to manipulate the Yang aspect of the Five Elements.
Yin and Yang are two opposing poles, and these two forces can negate and hinder each other.
This piqued Minori's interest. These two opposing yet complementary forces clearly belong to an independent professional system.
With the Bone Dragon ignoring the power of Pandex Mother of the Nation's magic, Minori easily captured the opponent alive, thereby completely controlling the Pandex clan. It took him three days to sort out and control both groups. The combined population of the Zerns and Pandex reached 7,000.
After completing this step.
Minori did not take any more drastic actions, but focused on stability and appeasement.
Amidst the hills covered with weeds and shrubs.
Zerns and Pandex, one after another, carried stones and wood on their backs, their wriggling bodies moving towards the open space between the hills, interspersed with some Troll figures.
There, the foundation of a rudimentary castle already existed.
They were building a castle for their new ruler. Both races preferred to live in damp underground caves, but humans do not like such living environments.
Based on the idea of not mistreating himself.
Minori mobilized the two races to build a castle for him.
Go Gin had his wolf-tooth club weapon placed in front of him, sitting on a high rock, watching the enslaved Zerns and Pandex below.
His gaze swept across a tall figure in the distance.
The Troll Water Elemental Mage was standing in the open space of the castle foundation, excitedly directing the Zern and Pandex clans.
Ever since that human displayed his powerful strength, the Troll Water Elemental Mage had completely submitted to him.
Not only him, but also the Earth Elemental Troll.
The Mist Witch and the Earth Elemental Troll were not present here.
These two had been sent out by that human to gather the Trolls and goblins scattered in the hilly area.
Thinking of this.
Go Gin's heart was filled with unease. Even now, he was still somewhat dazed.
In just a few days, that human easily conquered and controlled the two major clans. If Go Gin had heard such rumors before, he would definitely have dismissed them with disdain.
Even the 'Heroic Tales' that are sung and even compiled in the human world are not as exaggerated as everything in front of him.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes.
Go Gin would have thought he hadn't woken up from his sleep. However, after gradually understanding the Zern and Pandex clans, Go Gin gradually realized something.
The ability to easily control the two races was not only because that human possessed powerful strength, but also because of the racial characteristics of the two races completely obeying the 'King' and 'National Mother'.
If it were placed on other races, that human would never have been able to control a clan so easily.
"That man must be very familiar with the races in the Abelion Hills to be able to complete this series of actions so quickly."
Go Gin fell into deep thought, then patted his head with his hand.
Headache!
Go Gin felt that compared to thinking, using force was simpler, more direct, and the most suitable method for him.
It's just that.
Now, in terms of force, he was no match for that man, and there were no trustworthy companions around him to whom he could confide his worries, so he had to force himself to think about problems.
"Osk would definitely laugh at my current situation," Go Gin smiled wryly.
He was not a wise man and could not think about deeper issues, but he also understood that the current situation had reached a very dangerous level.
Just the fact that that human understood the characteristics of the Zern and Pandex clans, and then controlled the two clans by controlling the royal family members, proved that he was not as arrogant and haughty as he appeared on the surface, but a meticulous person.
The Abelion Hills have always been a forbidden area for humans, and the outside world knows very little about it, but this human actually knows so much, and there may be organizations and forces behind him.
Now.
The combined forces of the Zern and Pandex clans have reached 7,000 people, and the Mist Witch and the Earth Elemental Trolls have gone to other areas of the hills to subdue the scattered Trolls and goblin clans.
Go Gin believed that it would not be long before the number of troops that that human could control would exceed 10,000.
At that time—
Go Gin shook his head, his white eyes becoming solemn and fierce. He had to find a way.
Upper Water Month.
January 15th.
After stabilizing the situation in the two clans, Minori quietly left the Abelion Hills and came to the Tob Great Forest. The "Goblin Breeding Plan" had reached the time for harvesting.
Forest Rift.
Open grassland.
Naga bent over, humbly following behind Minori, recounting the number of goblins bred.
"The number has reached 100,000? You have done a very good job, Your Majesty the Forest King."
The last time Minori instructed Naga to increase the number, the other party actually did it.
This number is basically the limit that the internal area of the Tob Great Forest can bear. Any more and it will affect the periphery of the forest.
"It's good that you are satisfied." Naga squeezed out a smile on his wrinkled cheeks, his brows filled with exhaustion.
Although goblins are weak existences that can be easily crushed, once the number increases, that patch of green makes Naga feel an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.
Only Naga knows how hard it is to breed these goblins. He has already regretted it, but this matter can no longer be avoided by regretting it.
With Naga's wisdom, he naturally understood that he had no choice from the beginning.
"This is for you."
Minori's palm stretched out from his sleeve and threw out a potion bottle.
Naga stretched out his skinny, cyan-scaled palm, grabbed the red potion bottle,
and a look of doubt appeared in his snake eyes.
Potion?
Why is it red, and what is he giving him a potion for?
Huh?
Naga narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling the potion bottle in his hand heating up. The scarlet liquid permeated the glass, emitting a layer of red halo under the sunlight.
The liquid looked very viscous. Rather than being a liquid, it was more like the blood of some creature, and even though it was currently contained in a potion bottle, it was still releasing a heat.
Naga subconsciously took the potion bottle and smelled it in front of his nose, his pupils shaking.
"This is—.." Naga immediately looked up at Minori.
"Consider it a reward for your hard work during this period." Minori said lightly. The blood contained in the potion bottle given to Naga was the blood of the Lava Dominator.
He still understood the principle of "stick and carrot," but Minori was reluctant to give away the blood of the Ancient Fire Dragon.
