Give Zongman some collapse shock

Being stared at by such a stern gaze, Xilin, who was already feeling guilty, suddenly became uneasy.

Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore and confessed honestly with a resentful look on his face.

"Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to lose your temper with me."

The leader of the First Fortress, a noblewoman named Alicia, led the Knights in resisting the attacks of the Black Beast Mercenaries. Due to her close relationship with the leader of the Second Fortress, she received military support.

This alone is not enough to rally the scattered people's hearts, let alone resist.

In fact, on the first day of the war, Alicia keenly sensed the declining situation, and that night she proposed to retreat to the second or even third fortress, gather troops and then counterattack.

This decision was a wise one, and even Xilin, who was eavesdropping at the time, was a little surprised.

I didn’t expect that a mentally retarded person who was obviously affected by the will of the benevolent god would suddenly return to an average level of IQ.

Unfortunately, Alicia's proposal was immediately met with collective opposition from the nobles, led by the ministers of the First Fortress. Some nobles were unwilling to give up their property, while others were simply foolish and didn't believe the First Fortress could be captured. They even accused Alicia of ineffectiveness.

The minister who was most concerned had already secretly defected to the Black Beast Mercenary Group.

With this highly motivated and self-aware insider, while violently suppressing civilians internally, he also spread false information to Alicia, who was focused on the front lines, that the city was stable and the people were urging her to hold on.

In the end, the situation was that the First Fortress refused to retreat, and even though half of its troops had been depleted, it was still forced to fight due to various factors.

"That minister wanted to open the city gate from the inside that night."

Having said that, Xilin couldn't suppress the disgust on her face.

"That scum is naturally a puppet controlled by the will of the evil god. He is pure evil and absolutely the most disgusting type of sinner. Once I capture the city, I will use him as a sacrifice."

"It's actually an internal reason?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Perhaps, this is a good thing for us."

"Hey! You don't blame me?"

"Of course I don't blame you. It's better to say that you have been a great help." Jiang Chen figured it out.

In fact, he and Hephaestus had been troubled before.

In this world, the influence of the evil god's will is extremely obvious and has a strong ability to spread. As long as the war continues and monsters are deployed, it will be easy to complete the harvest of the evil god.

In contrast, only a few people were significantly affected by the will of the Good God. Using these fragments to completely harvest the Good God was far from enough. It needed to be spread, and a large base was needed.

In other words, they must retain a relatively large number of humans to harvest the good gods.

Moreover, those who directly participate in the war will be more or less affected by the will of the evil god and will not be able to take on the fragments of the good god.

After removing the above, the target to be retained becomes clear - civilians.

According to the original plan, the Black Beast Mercenary Group gradually captured the seven fortresses, and there were only a few civilians who could survive to the end and retain their qualifications.

But if there is a high-ranking insider who stirs up trouble, all problems will be solved.

"For the next few days, moderately reduce the intensity of the attack. Let them feel the pressure, but don't let them lose. Then, contact that minister and have him gather all the forces of the Seven Shields Alliance for a decisive battle at the First Fortress."

"Humph! It's easy to talk, but you're asking for so much."

Xilin raised her head to express her dissatisfaction, feeling a huge sense of relief. She was truly afraid Jiang Chen would blame her, and had already planned to kill all the nobles in the First Fortress tonight, just to atone for her mistake. Unexpectedly, not only did she not make any mistakes this time, but she actually achieved a great feat by chance.

She wanted to ask for a reward immediately, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

She looked disgusted on the surface, but in reality, the corners of her mouth were wildly raised. She looked away proudly, but her body stood there honestly, waiting...

Well, kind of cute.

Seeing through the Queen of the Sky's little thoughts, Jiang Chen walked up slowly, and then... did nothing, passed by her calmly, walked directly out of the tent, and waved his hand provocatively.

"Keep going here, I'm going back to Hephaestus first. Oh, by the way, I brought some monsters this time. Monsters from all over the North will be arriving in the next few days, so remember to sign for them."

"you……"

Xilin raised her hand in confusion, trying to persuade him to stay, as if she still thought this was a joke and that Jiang Chen would run back to kiss her, hug her and hold her high.

It was not until Jiang Chen flew quickly into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye that she finally woke up.

I've been fooled!

"Asshole, you're done!" Xilin gritted her teeth. "Very well, you dare to tease me like this? I used to disdain those half-body tricks, but now don't blame me! Just wait!"

She viciously pulled out a bunch of potions.

Before leaving, I found something in Mei's room. Out of a sense of possession, I collected all the medicines. Mei had to search everywhere for them, but she didn't dare to say what she had lost.

These things that were originally intended to be destroyed are now useful.

Well, let’s try the effect first using the scum of the Black Beast Mercenary Group. Didn’t Jiang Chen bring a group of monsters here?

"If we allow those scum who still have some sense of normality among this bunch of scum to lose their minds and get involved with monsters, the consequences will be... hehehe~"

That way, it will be absolutely stable.

In this world, no one will compete with her.

055 Explosive Arsenal Get Daze

The northern region, deeper than the Black City.

It was an indication of an unusual appearance and a strange gathering.

Half of it is a lush, leafy, and silent forest. Half of it is a barren, yellow sand-covered dead land. It's the border between life and death, half withered and half flourishing.

Two completely different landscapes converge in one place, showing contradictions everywhere but also a strange harmony, just like two living rivers entwined with each other, guarding the lake in the center.

No, it's too small to be called a lake.

It is just a circular deep pool with a diameter of no more than fifteen meters.

"Finally you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Sorry for the long wait. I'm not yet proficient in the Herrscher's flying ability, and I can't match the speed of you gods." Jiang Chen slowly descended and cast his gaze towards the deep pool.

The water in the pond is clear, and the surface emits a pure white glow.

"Is this what you couldn't wait for me to see?"

"Yes, the holy spring of the dark elves, the source of their race. It is said that this opportunity only accumulates once every thousand years, and all the dark elves are born after bathing here." Hephaestus said excitedly.

After arriving in the world of black beasts, Hephaestus became extremely active.

Now she is more like a little girl opening a blind box, her eyes full of anticipation and joy of discovering something good.

She pointed to the two elves following behind her.

"It's really thanks to them this time. Without someone to lead the way, I wouldn't have discovered this wonderful place."

Olika and Chloe, who were being pointed at, had very ugly expressions, as if they were trying hard to endure something.

Originally, Olika was very reluctant when asked to lead the way to the Holy Spring, the holy place of all dark elves.

Firstly, it was because of the sacredness of the Holy Spring, and secondly, Orika had secured the right to enter the Holy Spring once every thousand years. After careful consideration, he realized that Hephaestus was not a dark elf and would not be able to use the Holy Spring even if he came. Therefore, he was coerced and induced into becoming the guide.

Chloe's face was also livid. Although as a half-elf, she would never dare to ask for the Holy Spring in her life, but this thing was what her queen was looking for.

Judging from Hephaestus' current attitude, he obviously regards the Holy Spring as something in his pocket.

The two elves' mood was probably like this: taking their beautiful wives to meet their immediate superior, thinking that the boss was a gentleman, but unexpectedly their wives were taken away by a cow the moment they turned around.

Angry, aggrieved, and afraid to speak.

Olika took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Fortunately, all the dark elves had been tricked into becoming slaves by her, and only she had been promised freedom. At worst, she could just wait another thousand years.

"Is there anything special about this place?" Jiang Chen looked puzzled.

He couldn't understand what value this thing had.

It couldn't be that Hephaestus suddenly had an idea and wanted to see how the dark elves gave birth to offspring?

Even so, it can only be accumulated once every thousand years, so it is really not a good thing.

"Holy Spring is just what they call it. This thing is a special modified divine blood." Hephaestus smiled faintly.

Anything that can be linked to God is not simple.

Although he still didn't understand the function of these special divine bloods, Jiang Chen's expression immediately became more serious.

"Let me explain. This is the flesh and blood of a god. It has undergone special modifications and can continuously create clones for the user, duplicating souls and bodies, splitting true individuals based on the original body. Of course, the outward manifestation is the birth of offspring, as the dark elves have traditionally said."

"Create a clone?" Jiang Chen's imagination ran wild.

He really wanted to find out whether this thing could create clones of gods or herrschers.

If possible, if it could be used once every thousand years, he could barely admit that this thing was valuable.

"All they created were dark elves," Hephaestus added quickly.

Noticing the look Jiang Chen had given her just now, she was stunned. Even if she could, she didn't want to create a clone of herself. The thought of it was just too strange.

"Tsk, useless thing." Jiang Chen clicked his tongue in disgust.

This is an insult to the Holy Land!

Olivia was furious but didn't dare to say anything.

"If it can only be used once every thousand years, it's really useless. But don't forget, it was created by the gods, and naturally it should be used by the gods. If I replenish the divine power, no matter how many dark elves you want to create, it will not be a problem." Seeing that it was almost done, Helphaestus smiled and told the true function.

This is a super factory that can produce unlimited troops.

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up; the surprise came too suddenly.

With the Holy Spring, their shortage of manpower problem will be completely solved.

But then, he showed a conflicted expression again.

Being able to spawn troops is of course a good thing, but the problem is that all the troops are dark elves with serious illnesses...

"Don't worry, I know what you are worried about." Hephaestus leaned close to Jiang Chen's ear and whispered a few words softly.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes wide.

"Is that kind of thing possible?"

"Don't worry, your [Enhancement] is a power that I cannot analyze, and it can definitely interfere with God's creation." The goddess patted her chest and assured.

Nodding, Jiang Chen took out a crimson crystal ball without hesitation.

This is a tool made by Hephaestus to collect souls and fragments of evil gods.

The battlefield of the First Fortress has accumulated enough weight in three days.

Hephaestus took the crystal ball and demonstrated his power without hesitation. In front of the three people, he ignited a golden flame in his hand. The red crystal quickly melted, and countless wailing sounds seemed to echo in the air, making the strange forest even more terrifying.

Soon, tens of thousands of colorless crystals and black crystals, as well as a few scattered white crystals, were extracted.

"These are enough for now. The colorless crystal is the refined soul. Using it can save me divine power. Compared to the body, the soul is the most difficult thing to forge. The black crystal is the fragment of the evil god, a very high-level energy, you will like it." Hephaestus exhaled a breath and showed an expectant look.

After refining, there are only more than 30,000 soul crystals.

There are more crystals of the evil god fragments, totaling 150,000.

According to Hephaestus, 30,000 soul units can directly create 30,000 dark elves.

And the Evil God Crystal...

Jiang Chen immediately activated [Energy Absorption] and opened his mouth in surprise.

"!!!"

Quality! Quantity!

That's a massive amount of energy far exceeding that of magic crystals. To put it in context: the entire Hephaestus clan's magic crystal production for three months on Earth World, with Hephaestus's help, could barely [strengthen] three Herrscher cores.

One hundred and fifty thousand evil god crystals can [strengthen] a complete set of twelve ruler cores.

Almost reflexively, Jiang Chen wanted to [Strengthen] the coveted Void Wanzang.

The First God's Key, which embodies the wisdom of the entire pre-collapse civilization, can bring about a leap in the growth of power.

Fortunately, he resisted the urge as Hephaestus stared at him expectantly.

In front of us, there is a divine creation waiting to be transformed.

Before acquiring the technology, it is better to keep one's feet on the ground and deal with the hard work of making various creations first.

Put your hand on the surface of the holy spring water.
