Chapter 381 Chapter 379 Regular Harvest
After listening to the advice given by the humanoid bug in front of him, Di Ruier sneered and looked down on it. Although he knew that this female bug could not hold back any good fart, he did not expect that the other party did not take him seriously at all. He thought he was stupid and took the initiative to integrate into the Zerg.
Just after he successfully enslaved the female bug, the attitude of the lower-level Zerg towards her was not unseen. The queen was noble, but when the conditions were right, these bugs would still rush up and tear the queen who was originally high and mighty alive.
"Then you can't control the Zerg."
Seeing Di Ruier so decisive and ridiculing, the female bug was also very annoyed, and said firmly, with an inexplicable self-confidence.
"There is no absolute thing in this world. Well, as a slave, you should have the consciousness of a slave."
After confirming that the female bug in front of him had no direct help in ruling the Zerg, the final result of the treatment of this female bug was naturally obvious.
Banished to the World Tree Demiplane as research material
Although this queen lost her position as queen, she was born as a queen after all, and some secrets of the hive can be glimpsed from her.
As for the energy and time cost required for this, that is not something he needs to worry about. Naturally, those Hillros people will work hard for him, and he can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
The combat power of the former Zerg queen was not taken seriously by Diriel at all. She was thrown into the research institute by Diriel and allowed to be dissected and sliced repeatedly by those researchers.
So, Diriel focused his attention on the Seville Fortress, which was a great opportunity for him to extend his claws into the Altom continent.
Before this, he had no influence on this continent, but expanding territory was just a side job for Diriel. What really mattered to him was this trial battlefield with the Zerg as the enemy.
The chaos on the Elmond continent has gradually subsided, and wars and killings are still continuing, but there are no larger ones.
After all, the top three forces, after being shocked and beaten by Di Ruier, basically settled down and remained calm. If the upper level is not chaotic, there will naturally be no big waves below.
This also means that this newly established legion under Di Ruier has no specific goals to hone itself. The most work is to accept tasks such as expelling hunting monsters and hunting evil god believers from major cities.
These tasks are too random, and the level of the enemies to be faced is generally not high, which can not cause any pressure to the slightly stronger dragon people.
This makes the most talented legion members. The speed of advancement has slowed down. If you want to merge more dragon blood and tap more power contained in the dragon blood, fighting is indispensable.
A hearty bloody battle can stimulate potential and also exercise spiritual will. Originally, Di Ruier should not worry about such things, but who made him encounter it?
The Zerg that is enough to evolve into a world-destroying disaster, even at the worst, it can exterminate a continent, is an excellent object for training in Di Ruier's eyes.
Because even he currently has no good way to exterminate these things, and as long as they cannot be exterminated, the Zerg will be endless.
But for Di Ruier, these Zerg are controllable. He cannot clear the endless fungal blanket, but he can clear the high-level combat power of the Zerg. And the Zerg that cannot breed legendary high-level combat power cannot pose any threat to Di Ruier.
But this situation is only applicable to powerful creatures like Di Ruier whose roots are not on the Altom continent. Normal kingdoms can't stand the Zerg's tossing.
Even the most fertile short-lived species can't compete with the Zerg in consumption. After years of war, no race can afford it.
Therefore, even if Di Ruier blatantly occupied a city, he even refused to leave and planned to develop for a long time.
But the Kingdom of Amiloa, whose city and territory were occupied, was not only not annoyed, but even sent people to deliver a large amount of food and supplies, as if it was an attitude of giving whatever they wanted and supporting to the end.
This also made many human nobles in the city silent for a while. The former supreme commander, the old legend who was expected to embark on the road to godhood, was speechless and choked, looking at the capital for a long time.
Thinking back to the time when he resisted the Zerg, he had exhausted all his energy and energy, and had already reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, but when he asked the royal family for support, he was often asked to understand, or just gave him a little and sent him away.
Now, the Zerg outside the Seville Fortress no longer poses a threat. After the fall of the Lava Tyrant, there was no news of more tyrants who were expected to support.
And the remaining Zerg have basically become the prey of dragon vein warlocks, dragon descendants, and dragon people. These creatures with dragon blood flowing in their bodies seem to be desperate. They rush out of the fortress one after another to fight with the Zerg.
"Although it's an old-fashioned incentive, it's really useful!"
Di Ruier looked down at the fortress with its gates wide open. A large number of dragons were coming in and out freely. Most of the returning dragons or dragons dragged a few Zerg corpses in their hands, while a few had empty hands but had storage equipment.
This is one of the key points of fighting the Zerg. No corpses can be left behind, whether they are from our side or the Zerg. All corpses can be taken away.
These Zerg corpses brought back are naturally used as proof of military merit.
Depending on the type and power level of the Zerg, the killer can obtain different amounts of war merits, which can be exchanged for weapons, potions, combat skills, magic, mounts, etc., and the most important of them is, of course, dragon blood!
This is what all the dragons who fight here dream of. To enhance and evolve their blood and make themselves infinitely close to pure-blooded dragons is what they pursue. The more ambitious ones even desire to become the family of the Storm Lord.
All of these can be exchanged for war merits, which is also what Di Ruier copied recently. In fact, the Legion originally had similar incentives, but the process was too cumbersome, and the exchanged materials were far less abundant than what he provided.
Di Ruier simplified the process and enriched the exchangeable materials. He even threw a few drops of his own blood on it, just to see if there were any dragons who could exchange them with war merits.
Such a clear and clear promotion ladder, placed in front of you, how can you not go crazy? Even those who were a little rational before will become crazy under the stimulation of dragon blood and walk to the battlefield with a knife.
Not only the newly established dragon corps under Di Ruier became bloodthirsty and warlike because of these war reward mechanisms, but even the original human corps in the fortress were also ready to move.
Who can not be tempted?
Who can bear to see those dragon corps that were not very worthy of attention changing day by day?
Ordinary humans have dragon veins, which is the beginning of getting rid of the shackles of short-lived species, and as they gradually evolve into dragon people, they can even step into the ranks of long-lived species.
Under normal circumstances, there are very few people who obtain dragon veins through acquired means. Those who can do so are often dragon-slaying heroes who can leave their names in history. Only they can have such a strong physique and a tenacious spirit that can withstand the erosion of dragon blood, as well as opportunities!
But now a Zhuangkang Road has been laid out in front of everyone. As long as they are willing to inquire, it is not difficult for the nobles in the fortress to find out that those guys who are about to become human-shaped dragons had no connection with the dragons at first. Some of them were originally disabled humans, but now they have transformed into dragons flying in the sky.
The unparalleled power, solid physique and long life span of the same rank, all the things that dragon blood can give are enough to make anyone excited, especially the nobles, who are extremely eager.
They have many resources and can get more information. They are salivating over the changes in the dragon army and the resources that can be exchanged.
It is impossible to rob by force. Why the Zerg outside the fortress has changed from a doomsday disaster to a prey for many low-level dragons to accumulate military merits, everyone with a brain knows the reason.
If the way of robbing and plundering is not feasible, then the remaining way is naturally clear, and it is naturally to kneel down at the speed of light and surrender.
After all, the intention of the capital can be said to be clear. In fact, these people have become vassals of the dragon clan. Whether they are willing to admit it or not, they are actually gifts from the kingdom to retain the dragon emperor.
Therefore, the nobles and human legions in the fortress clearly conveyed to Di Ruier their willingness to be his dogs, oh, no, to become dragonborn and serve him.
Di Ruier would not refuse these guys who surrendered voluntarily, but he also made a distinction to divide them. First, they must hunt the Zerg to get the opportunity to transform themselves into dragonborn.
After transforming into dragonborn, their treatment is also different from that of the legion. Even if it is the same thing, the war merits they need to pay are 30% higher.
Di Ruier does not intend to treat everyone equally in this regard. Fairness is not demonstrated in such a place, or this is what he believes to be fair.
Why should the distribution of resources obtained by the direct legion cultivated since childhood and the miscellaneous army that joined halfway be the same?
Naturally, there must be some distinction and class division, which naturally gives people the motivation to struggle.
If no matter what kind of messy things join, they can get the same treatment as the original direct legion, what will the original old people think?
Therefore, after Direll treated them fairly and impartially, Cecil Fortress was transformed into a dragon territory in just three years and lost its function as a fortress.
Because there were no more enemies to fight outside the towering walls, the Zerg that were once overwhelming had been pushed away by the dragons who were eager for military exploits. Now, if you want to hunt the Zerg, you need to go further, but this is not a problem.
"It's so fast, another tyrant has hatched!"
In the newly built palace, Direll looked into the distance, where he could still see a touch of bloody red land, feeling the breath that had just emerged but quickly subsided, and couldn't help sighing.
"Father, do you need me to hunt it?"
Hearing Direll's sigh, a Blood Angel knelt in front of Direll and asked respectfully.
"No, no, leave it to the little guys below to hunt."
Direll rejected the Blood Angel who wanted to show off.
Although he has the combat power to crush the entire Zerg, he can only monitor the Zerg and harvest them regularly when he cannot remove the Zerg fungus blanket.
During the monitoring period, Di Ruier became more and more excited because he found that as long as the Zerg had enough resources, it would take only half a month to create a Tyrant.
He killed 17 tyrants in anger because his idea of enslaving the Zerg was thwarted. The Zerg recovered quickly in less than half a year, and even more in number.
However, before these insects could become rampant and expand their fungal blankets, Diriel went out again and harvested them personally. After three or five times, even without clear orders, the unconscious Zerg slowed down the frequency of hatching tyrants.
Without a clear commander, these insects actually began to test Diriel's tolerance. The Zerg no longer mass-produced tyrants, but tried to produce lord-level Zergs, and then provided resources to promote the lord-level Zergs to tyrants.
In this way, Diriel's reaction was observed, and after finding that he was not hit, he began to carefully produce the next tyrant.
Tyrants with sufficient wisdom acted extremely low-key by absorbing the memories and experience retained by the Zerg. Not to mention leading a mighty Zerg invasion, there were not even eyewitness reports.
After being harvested by Diriel several times, the new generation of tyrants are all as stable as old men. Some tyrants with ideas no longer pursue the huge body of a giant beast, but instead begin to compress their bodies.
Anyway, they are all happy to toss in the fungal blanket. As for stepping out of the coverage of the fungal blanket, so far, no one has stepped out.
The important mission of advancing the coverage of the legion, which is related to the continuation of the Zerg, is completely piled on the middle and lower-level Zerg.
However, even without the rule of a powerful leader-level Zerg, the torrent of Zerg tides is an irresistible existence for most intelligent races.
Therefore, even with Diriel and many Blood Angels monitoring and suppressing, and the gradually developing Dragon Legion slaughtering day and night, the size of the Zerg swarm is still slowly expanding, but the direction of expansion is no longer the central part of the continent guarded by Diriel.
The current development concept of the Zerg is very simple. If you can't beat it, hide. If the fungal blanket can't be spread, then go around it.
Even if it is a barren mountain or wilderness, this group of insects does not mind covering it all, because even the sunlight from the sky can be absorbed and converted into biomass, but the conversion process is a little more complicated.
