:¡Ë Chapter 278 Valley On the map, various terrains are clearly drawn, and many places are marked with small crosses. The red crosses represent the locations of battles with human troops, and the blue crosses represent battles with human troops. The place where the demonic forces fought. 4¡à8065 Nearly a hundred small crosses are densely distributed on the map, which makes Alvin gasp. Ollie has been walking with the team for more than a month, and he has encountered so many battles - maybe among them Many of them were encounters that were separated by a little action, but even if only one-third of the battles were serious and less than thirty people died, Ivan felt that he was extremely lucky. "Damn it, why are there so many human troops in this place?" Ivan's eyes skipped the red and blue crosses on the map and placed them on the edge of the Bloody Necklace Mountains. There is a large area of ??flat land there, and the coastline is also the same. The map he spent a lot of money to buy showed similar appearance. Large areas were good places for building ports. However, it was a pity that a large number of human troops appeared in such a good place. "Probably because the terrain here is suitable for human troops to land," Ollie said while looking at the map. Hearing this, Ai Wen nodded depressedly, and that was the only reason. Although due to the war, the naval forces of the three major forces around the Earth's Inner Sea have not been able to develop significantly, the lack of naval strength does not mean that the three major forces do not understand the military value of areas suitable for building ports. Compared with crossing the blockade of hostile forces on land, it is obviously easier for a small group of troops to sneak into the enemy's territory from the inner sea. "Lord Baron, why don't we just change the place?" A second-level mage suggested. "No," Aiwen flatly refused, "If we move to another place, we have to go there again to survey the environment. It will take too much time to go back and forth. It will not only greatly delay the growth of our power, but also encounter more problems in the future. Competitors, perhaps by that time, even in such a place where there are a large number of enemy teams, there will be many demon nobles competing for it." When the mage heard this, he felt that Aiwen was a bit unreasonable, but it was not unreasonable to think about it. , the demon troops from all over the rear are indeed arriving continuously, and the situation of too many monks and too few people may not happen in the future, so they were suddenly speechless. "It is necessary to open up territory in this area, but the location can be chosen further back. Book Fans Group 2" Ivan said, his eyes retracted from the seaside and moved to a valley inside the Bloody Necklace Mountains. On the map, there are only a few small forks marked around the valley, indicating that human and demonic forces appear less frequently in that area. "The area of ??this valley is not small. We can use it as a stronghold to operate it well. Based on this, we will gradually clear it towards the seaside, until we finally capture the entire coastal land," Ai Wen said. After saying that, Ivan turned around and looked around, "Do you have any opinions?" "I have no objections," several mages said quickly. The terrain of the valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Once you enter it and build a good defense, you no longer have to worry about safety issues. The mage tower will be an important part of the territory's defense system and will naturally be built as soon as possible. Realizing this, these mages certainly have no objection. "It's a good idea, but the valley itself has an area of ??more than 20 square kilometers. From the valley to the seaside, the total area, no matter how small it is, is 600 square kilometers, or even more than 1,000 square kilometers. This size, This is already a territory that can only be owned by the Demon Viscount." Ollie was not enthusiastic about the construction of the mage tower. He made a rough calculation with his fingers and said with some surprise. Ivan hadn't thought about this, and he couldn't answer it all of a sudden. However, he couldn't lose face by losing anything. He thought about it and came up with a reasonable explanation. "Well, you don't have to worry about this. If I If I really lead the troops all the way to the seaside, then by then, with the military merit gained by killing human troops, I will definitely be a real demon viscount.¡± As he said, Nie and Wu Gu applauded desperately, with expressions of being completely moved on their faces. "It turned out to be two sycophants. A mage suddenly realized it and seemed to understand why Ivan would bring these two unqualified demons into this meeting. "Okay, if you don't have any objections, that's how it's settled. . Nie, you take the witchcraft to calculate the harvest of the troops. Ollie, you accompany me to see the casualties of the troops. If anyone else has something to do, just say it. If nothing happens, just leave." After waiting for a while, I saw Everyone was silent, so Aiwen nodded and said, "That's it, let's break up. You can all move around freely before the awarding ceremony." The crowd dispersed, and Nieh and Wu Gu also followed a mage to count the loot. Ollie and Ivan went to the No. 2 chain of Dakou Drinking House, which was used as a resting place for wounded soldiers by the returning team. About two-fifths of the more than seventy mercenaries who returned were injured and stayed here temporarily. Recuperation. "Oli, after you left last time, I met a group of demon nobles who were chasing you. Did you meet them later?" Walking on the streets of the inner city, Alvin suddenly asked. "We met, they all died, bad luck. It's really unlucky to meet human infiltration troops." Ollie sighed, but there was a faint smile in the corner of his eyes. "So, they didn't leave any clues for you to find the murderer?" Ivan smiled bitterly, and Ollie took action anyway. Without the suppression of the hidden masters in the Demon Castle, he was simply unscrupulous. But kill him. It doesn't matter what the other party is, the important thing is not to leave any clues. Fortunately, the success rate of prophecy spells is too low now, otherwise Alvin would have to consider whether to break up with Ollie. "What kind of murderer are you looking for? They really encountered human troops." Ollie glared at Alvin, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied. "It took a lot of effort for me to create this coincidence." "Hahaha, right?" Alvin laughed dryly. . It turns out that Oli¡¯s yinous methods are getting stronger and stronger. "However, it's good that there are no future troubles. After walking for about ten minutes, the two arrived at the No. 2 chain of Dakou Drinking House. After entering the courtyard through the back door, Ollie pointed to the second floor and stopped. It seemed that he did not intend to go upstairs with Ivan. . Ivan was a little strange, but he didn't insist. He went up to the second floor alone, opened the door, and saw many injured subordinates lying in the hall. Looking around, Ivan's heart sank. Originally, he thought that nearly a hundred team members went out and more than seventy team members came back. Based on the background of participating in more than a hundred battles, it was a good result. However, he did not expect that. There were indeed more than seventy people who came back, but among the more than seventy, there were more than ten demons with disabilities in their upper bodies. Counting those seriously injured who could not return to the team in the short term, almost half of the entire team was destroyed. Limb regeneration is an ability only possessed by a small number of demons of a special race, or demons with a certain level of strength. In addition, there are a few potions in the world that can promote limb regeneration, but the price of such potions It is too expensive. No matter which force the leader is, even Ivan, even if he can buy it, he will only store it for his own use. Therefore, once these low-level warriors are disabled, they become useless. "What are you doing with this dejected look? Are you worried that you are useless and that I will abandon you?" Ivan stood in the center of the room, looking at the mostly lifeless wounded around him, pacing back and forth for a few steps, and suddenly got angry loudly. road. "So what if you can't fight? You still have experience and can teach the newcomers in the team. Even if your body is so weak that you can't even teach the newcomers. There is a tavern at your feet. I have fifteen such taverns. So, There are so many taverns, can¡¯t they accommodate a few of you? What are you worried about, what are you afraid of? You must remember that your head is me, and I am Alvin. Starting from the Bone Prison City where I first made my fortune, I have never abandoned any of my subordinates who were loyal to me," Alvin said loudly. Of course, Aiwen's words are somewhat watery, but compared to other demons in this world, he has never done anything like betraying his trust and abandoning his subordinates. Even if there are one or two cases, he will deal with them very cleanly. Any personal or physical evidence. So as soon as Alvin finished speaking, the eyes around him immediately became angry. After all, most of Aiwen¡¯s team members followed him all the way from Bone Prison City, and they have some understanding of Aiwen¡¯s past. "You all need to take good care of me. Don't think that being disabled gives you an excuse to relax. If there is no such beautiful time, I still have a lot of tasks waiting for you to solve in the future." Ivan shouted, and then he looked around again After walking around, he saw that the demons in the room had a little more hope in their eyes, so he nodded secretly and walked out of the room. Ivan is not simply comforting these disabled team members. He really needs experienced instructors to help teach those little devils who have just evolved. Although the small world can help those little devils increase their magic and spiritual power, it cannot give them Experience, and these disabled demons must have more unforgettable experience and lessons taught to them than other demons. After all, they paid for it with their own blood. "What are you going to do with these disabled soldiers?" Seeing Ivan coming downstairs, Ollie came up and asked. "Is it the instructor of the recruits or the guard of the hotel?" Ivan was a little depressed, and then he cheered up, "There will always be casualties in war, they are still alive, and"To no longer have to go to the battlefield, from a certain perspective, may not be a blessing." "I don't think that is a blessing." "Oli shook his head and said, "Devils should grow in battles and die in battles. Without battles in life, a demon's life will be incomplete. " "Whether it is good or bad, who can tell? "Ai Wen said slightly confused.
