The pain that Lance experienced when he shared memories from the tentacle monster was finally Alvin's turn to taste it this time. The area of ????a mere Lion's Heart Valley is naturally not comparable to the vast Inner Earth Sea, but the complexity of the details is far superior. Moreover, thousands of giant ants are dispatched at the same time, and the information collected is naturally no better than what is in the mind of the tentacle monster. Less memory. Fortunately, Ivan's mental power is nearly a hundred times stronger than Lance's. He just felt dizzy for a while before accepting all the information. Compared with Lance, who is still trying to sort out the memory fragments in his mind, his results here are Obviously much stronger. After all the information was transmitted, the mental fluctuations representing Shar suddenly became weaker and weaker. From the connected spiritual channels, Ivan clearly felt a wave of energy coming from Shar. Feeling tired. It seems that such a huge amount of information was transmitted at once. Not only Ivan was dizzy, but Shar also consumed a lot of energy. Unfortunately, due to the terrain, Ivan could not do it unless he forcibly broke the wall. I went to Shar's side, so I couldn't help it regain its energy. I could only continue to deliver waves of comfort and praise from the spiritual channels connected to each other. "Good words cost nothing, and no matter how much you spread them out, it's not too much!" Although Shar is already the mother of thousands of children, her temperament is still simple and she seems to like this. After a while, she conveyed a burst of joy to Alvin, and her mental fluctuations began to slowly increase again. Feeling that the situation on Shar's side was beginning to improve, Alvin stopped worrying and finally began to focus. Silently, he sorted through the large amount of information that Shar had passed on to him. Not surprisingly, among the information, there is information about various foods and valuable materials. And the warehouses and secret rooms where they are located account for more than half of the capacity. This information is of extraordinary value in the eyes of foodies. It is also very useful when the Lion Heart Valley is surrounded by heavy enemy troops, but now Ivan's purpose is to find out the Lion Heart Territory. hidden dangers, their value is not worth mentioning. After briefly browsing this type of information, Alvin deleted it from his memory. After everything was cleaned up, he felt his overwhelmed consciousness suddenly relaxed. After cleaning up the useless information, Alvin began to carefully search for the half of the reserved capacity. Most of this information is related to the criss-crossing tunnels and dark caves beneath the Lion Heart Valley. Under any piece of land in the underground world, there are a large number of unknown natural tunnels and dark caves hidden, and the Lion Heart Valley is no exception. In the initial stage of leveling the land in preparation for urban construction, the construction team led by Nieh carefully inspected the Lion Heart Valley. Some tunnels and dark caves have been preserved. It was transformed into urban sewers or used to assist official covert operations. The remaining ones were completely destroyed and filled up to avoid leaving hidden dangers. Therefore, in theory, in the current Lion Heart Valley, except for the sewers and those tunnels controlled by the Lion Heart Territory officials, other new tunnels or dark holes are basically illegal excavations. Most of their owners have nefarious intentions and they just need to send someone to catch them. More than half of them are correct. Finding these secret tunnels without alerting anyone is what the giant ants are good at. After deleting the secret tunnels already in the hands of the city hall, and removing a large number of newly dug holes that were obviously only used for cellars or dark rooms, the information Ivan collected has been reduced to about a quarter of the original amount. , the last quarter or so of the content is what he really wants to focus on. In this part of the information, a large number of newly excavated tunnels are sneakily extending towards the inner city and the outskirts of Lion Heart Valley. At first glance, they have evil intentions. Fortunately, the Lion Heart Territory has just been established, and residents from the outside world have not been introduced for a long time. These secretly dug tunnels have not yet been completed. The longest one has only just touched the mountains surrounding the valley, which poses a threat to the safety of the Lion Heart Valley. The threat is not great yet. It is a pity that the giant ants who have collected relevant information have difficulty distinguishing the appearance differences between the demons. Although they have been paying attention to the progress of these tunnels and dark rooms, their impressions of the excavators are blurry. They will The memories in his mind were transferred back to Shar's mind, and then sent from Shar to Ivan's mind. The vague appearance of the demons immediately became more blurry, and each one looked dull, as if they were long-lost. Brothers and sisters are average and very similar in appearance. Fortunately, Aiwen does not expect these giant ants to be able to clearly identify the faces of those demons. As the saying goes, it is better to catch a thousand by mistake than to release one by mistake. He only needs to catch all the suspects who may be involved and interrogate them. Yes, I believe that under severe torture, some people will happily tell the truth. Even if things go wrong, these suspects are all heroes who are not afraid of torture, and there are still charm spells waiting for them.After deleting some irrelevant information again, Aiwen found twenty-one underground tunnels according to the degree of harm to the security of the territory, and then carefully remembered them in his mind, preparing to include them in the list of locations and send people there. The relevant suspects were arrested one by one. With the secretly dug tunnels as evidence, there was no need to worry about anyone jumping out to cause trouble. After processing these two categories of information, there is not much information left, but it is no less important. In the devil¡¯s territory, no matter how wise the local lord is or how powerful the security force that organizes patrols is, murders will still happen from time to time. The only difference is the frequency of murders. This has nothing to do with the abilities of the lords, it is purely due to the nature of the demons who are fond of blood and death. The last remaining small piece of information is related to these murders. These giant ants hiding in the darkness will rush to the scene as soon as possible whenever they notice the strong smell of blood coming from nearby. Ten times out of ten, they will find a body that is still warm at the scene. If the murderer has already left at this moment, then that's it. They will disperse immediately. If the murderer has not left yet, then these giant ants will wait for the opportunity and stay behind them from a distance until they finally find them. Lair. As an experienced murderer, after committing a crime. Anti-tracking is naturally necessary, but no matter how good they are, they can't handle the large number of giant ants. They are distributed throughout the Lion Heart Valley. Relying on the large area coverage like a spider web and the tracking method like a baton, these giant ants easily solve the tracking problem. The last small area that was specially marked is the lair of these murderers. Those who come and go alone are just the loners. Either kill or drive away. Ivan is not prepared to show mercy to these unstable elements. But there were several areas where a large number of murderers were present. Ivan thought about it for a while and decided to treat them differently. Because the legendary Thieves Guild may be entrenched there. In this world, the meaning of thieves includes scouts, thieves and killers, and the Thieves Guild is an organization formed voluntarily by thieves. This kind of organization does not have a unified leadership, but is independent. Generally speaking. Internally, they will refer to it as the 'local' Thieves Guild, and externally, they will use names such as the Lionheart Thieves Guild or the Crescent Thieves Guild. After each territory develops, a similar underground organization will spontaneously form. This organization will reach a tacit agreement with the territory officials to jointly maintain the order of the territory. Based on the information obtained from Shar, Alvin made a judgment. There are several organizations that appear to be thieves' unions in Lion's Heart Valley. In fact, it is not surprising that this result will occur. Because the Lionheart Territory has just emerged, and the thieves who have gathered here have just banded together and organized their own unions, the competition between them has not officially begun. Only when the last organization annexes all other competitors, the Lionheart Territory will Only then will the king of the world be truly determined. Perhaps, the turmoil in the Lion Heart Leader over the past six months is also due to these guys. "The guys who dare to set up their own business and form the Thieves' Guild are relatively confident, but I don't know if there are any masters among them?" Ivan thought to himself. There are really not many decent masters in the Lionheart Territory. Otherwise, in Austria, there are not many decent masters. After Li is dormant, the two barons Fire Claw and Hans will no longer be arrogant and domineering and leave the Demon Castle. Although Alvin has returned with the Lionheart at this moment, not only is Siris Nair left on the north coast, Ollie and Emma are also entering the small world, and the number of high-end combat forces in the territory has not actually increased. The only thing that is advantageous is that when Ollie deals with the affairs of the Lionheart Leader, he is not yet justified and will always encounter many constraints. If Alvin wants to do something, he will be much more confident. After carefully sorting out the information sent to him by Shar, and combining it with the information Ollie gave him, Ivan finally had a general understanding of the penetration level of hostile forces in Lion Heart Valley. Perhaps he learned something There must be some deviations from the facts, but it doesn't matter. How can anyone really manage such a large viscounty to perfection? Even if it could be done, Ollie carried out a massacre in the name of Ivan. Regardless of whether it was justified or not, in the eyes of outsiders, Ivan's image had already been completely destroyed. After interrupting the mental connection with Shar, Ivan rubbed his eyebrows, turned around, and glanced at Kevin who was standing respectfully beside him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although he could find it from the Thieves Guild, He received help, but thieves are also famous for being quick to see money. After thinking about it, it turned out that the confidant he had trained by himself was reliable! After going to sea for half a year, I have accumulated enough in the territory, and there should be many confidants who have broken through to the second level. Organize them all, and then bring them back to the small world to practice hard and live in seclusion.In a short period of time, they will be able to reach the peak of the third level. When the time comes, they will be brought out and they will be able to shoulder heavy responsibilities. You just need to get through this period of time. ? Then let¡¯s start from here! Ivan thought of doing it, and immediately started looking for a suitable big devil in the small world. As Kevin's helper, when the new big devil becomes familiar with the task of taking care of the giant ants, Kevin can put down the things here and return to the small world. bingo. After half a year of development, the total number of successfully evolved great demons in the small world is no less than 500. It is not difficult to find a suitable candidate to be Kevin's successor. After a while, Ivan found a great demon with suitable talents. , then recruited him from the small world and assigned him to Kevin as his deputy. Kevin also spent some time in the small world, and was not surprised that Alvin suddenly opened a dimensional door and then summoned a big demon from inside. After completing this arrangement, Alvin encouraged them a few words. He left the ant nest and returned to the core control room of the mage tower. Ollie was sitting silently, studying a book in her hand seriously. Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head and looked at Alvin quietly. "I got some news from Shar, and I want to hear your opinion." Ivan said with a smile, then walked to Ollie, took a pen and paper, and told the information he got one by one. ??In the information obtained by Aiwen. What is useful is only the geographical location of those tunnels and organizations, and there is no relevant personnel information, and this part is insufficient. But it can be supplemented by Ollie. As the actual leader of the Lionheart Territory for the past six months, Ollie's access to intelligence is probably the most comprehensive in the entire territory. ¡¡¡¡ Outside Xianglong Pass, all the originally long freight convoy had been taken away, and everyone in the city hall who came to greet Ivan also disappeared. Outside the towering city wall. Baron Fire Claw and his two hundred cavalry were the only ones left on the flat stone road. The merchants coming and going didn't dare to say anything when they saw the two hundred elite cavalry lined up neatly. They just quickly brought their goods into the Xianglong Pass. Outside the entire pass, except for the occasional sneezing sound of the earth-walking lizards, There was silence. ?According to common sense, as a vassal noble of the lord of Lionheart Territory. Baron Fire Claw should keep the majority of his troops outside the checkpoint, and only lead a small number of troops to follow Raymond and others into the Lion Heart Valley. Waiting for Alvin's greeting. It's a pity that Baron Fireclaw has something in his heart. Although he has no actual offense against Ivan, and he doesn't feel that Ivan has the slightest malice towards him, he just doesn't dare to bring a small number of troops into the city, so everyone else leaves. After that, he still hesitated outside the city wall. Regarding Baron Fire Claw¡¯s arrogance and domineering, or rather maverick behavior, Raymond and others have come to learn from him in the past six months. After inviting him into the city once, they saw him looking for excuses to shirk, so they shook their heads and left first. After Ivan returned to the territory, the first task assigned was to handle these goods. They did not dare to waste time on unimportant matters. What¡¯s more, these goods all come from the far north coast. What kind of specialties are there? These guys who have never sailed across the sea in their lives are also very interested. So, these guys left without a trace, leaving only Baron Fireclaw here full of resentment. "I'm really dizzy. If I had known, I would have followed that coward Hans and hid in the Devil's Castle for a month or two What should I do in this situation?" Baron Fireclaw scratched the bones on his cheek irritably. plate. After thinking for a while, Baron Fire Claw suddenly heard a burst of footsteps on the stone road behind him. He looked back and saw only the outline of a large army in the darkness. The leading officer slowly walked out of the darkness, and Baron Fire Claw recognized him. He was a close associate of Ivan, a great demon named Wu Gu whose strength was only about the second level. Before sending troops to intercept Aiwen this time, Baron Fireclaw had already received news that Wu Gu was patrolling the border of the Lionheart Territory with a force of about 500 people. The patrol time was not over yet, so he should have obtained it temporarily. He heard the news that Aiwen was back, so he hurried back with his troops. Although Wu Gu's personal strength is not good, his loyalty to Aiwen is unquestionable, and his ability to lead troops in battle is also good. At least with the same number, Fire Claw has no confidence that he can defeat him and wants to win. His only way is to use his personal strength to kill Wu Gu, who is the battlefield commander. Without the commander, Wu Gu's troops will naturally be defeated. It's a pity that Wu Gu has been on guard against this move for a long time. At his request, Ollie specially arranged for him six or seven powerful warriors with level three strength as bodyguards, enough to resist the next level four in a short time. The attack by level 1 warriors, coupled with the fact that Wu Gu's profession is a thief, when the strength reaches level 4At present, his ability to save his life by running away is inherently better than other professions. As long as you give him a little time, he can find opportunities to hide. It is not easy to take his life. Behind Wu Gu, pairs of patrol troops emerged from the darkness. Their number gradually increased, and soon reached five hundred. Through the firelight of Xianglong, Baron Fire Claw could clearly see , they all carry powerful crossbows on their bodies. This weapon puts great pressure on Baron Fire Claw. If Wu Gu suddenly attacks his troops, with his two hundred cavalry, he wants to deal with Wu Gu's five With hundreds of infantrymen, I'm afraid they can only fight to the point of losing both sides. This is still the result of not counting the combat power of Xianglong Pass next to you, but once the battle starts, is it possible that the defenders of Xianglong Pass will not participate? Baron Fire Claw was thinking wildly in his mind, but his movements were not slow at all, and he quickly commanded his men to make way for Wu Gu's troops. Since he didn't take the risk to attack Aiwen before, he would naturally not attack Wu Gu now. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a fool who doesn't distinguish between priorities. Wu Gu led his troops to the vicinity of Baron Fire Claw and glanced at him from a distance, seeming to be a little suspicious of his being so condescending. "Baron Fire Claw, aren't you ready to enter the valley?" Wu Gu glanced at the cavalry behind him warily, and then asked. "I have too many troops to arrange, so I won't enter the valley for the time being." Baron Fireclaw said angrily. ¡°Oh¡ª¡ª¡± Wu Gu prolonged the tone meaningfully, then nodded, stopped talking to Baron Fire Claw, and led his team towards Xianglong Pass. ¡¡¡¡¡ Yesterday, the backend was stuck, and it couldn¡¯t be uploaded for a long time, so I gave up. ¡°Well, I thought about it today. Since I have a ready-made chapter, I might as well take a day off. (To be continued)
