Chapter 1138 - 610: Task Assignment—Coaxing and Deceiving [Seeking Monthly Tickets][5K]

The second task is to extract the souls from the corpses and clean up the battlefield.

The third task is to take over the unclaimed territory, relocate useful buildings and population back to the territory, and also bring along the remaining resources from those unclaimed territories.

The fourth task is to exterminate the Little Flame Demon.

It’s definitely unrealistic for him to handle these four tasks all by himself.

So he must delegate them to his subordinates.

Currently, Favide is responsible for extracting the souls and cleaning up the battlefield, still operating outside the Poison Swamp.

When Zong Shen rode out on Xiaoheizi and looked down from the sky, he saw several smoke columns rising.

These smoke columns were produced after burning the corpses.

At this speed, it will take about one or two more hours to finish processing everything.

Apart from the corpses outside the Poison Swamp, there are also many corpses inside it.

These include human lords and escort warriors, as well as those follower monsters.

For the corpses inside the Poison Swamp, Zong Shen prepared two ways of handling them.

Human corpses will still be burned after soul extraction as usual.

As for those follower monsters, including beasts like the Grassland Wolves of the Wolf Cavalry and the Black Panthers of Female Hunters, all their corpses would be taken back to the territory and thrown into the Shadow Pool for Skeleton Transformation.

This way, a batch of undead cannon fodder can be cultivated.

The reason for not using human corpses is quite simple: due to the Valley of Horror effect, humans always find humanoid or human corpses unsettling, and the undead transformed from beast and monster skeletons are somewhat stronger than ordinary skeletons.

In terms of Skeleton Warriors, there are unknown numbers hidden in places like the Burial Ground or deep in mines and in various ruins of Azshara, so there’s really no need to make the territory too ghostly.

Apart from the reasons mentioned above, the transformation of the Shadow Pool also requires time.

There’s just one pool of Shadow Pool Water, and the number of skeletons that can be transformed in a short time is limited.

This task is to be entrusted to Favide.

It’s best to notify Hoy to come over.

His Hiking Merchant’s Badge (Purple) comes with a Storage Space.

It’s quite convenient for carrying those follower monster and beast corpses.

With Favide accompanying him, and after taking an Antitoxic Pill, he shouldn’t run into any danger.

For this purpose, he plans to arrange things here before going to find Favide.

Then, he needs to contact Luna and Wenresa to have them gather Reese Ulysses back to the territory on standby.

To provide her with half a bucket of Magic Spring as a supplement.

After all, going to take over the unclaimed territory will rely on her Shadow Wormhole.

Zong Shen has always been a professional in wool collection.

Moreover, he does not just collect wool from one sheep but usually from two or three at once...

Collecting wool scientifically and efficiently is the quality that a qualified lord should possess.

While guiding Xiaoheizi to take off, he pondered seriously on the saddle.

The proud Xiaoheizi reluctantly flapped its wings, carrying him and Blood Wolf Gujate towards the northern forest of the Poison Swamp.

The distance from here to the forest is a few kilometers, according to Xiaoheizi’s speed, it would take less than two minutes to get there.

At this moment, the Flying Tiger was lying on the ground, dozing off.

The two or three hours after noon tired it out enough.

Not only did it rush back and forth several times, but it also performed high-mobility dives with Zong Shen two or three times above the Goblin Tribe. After landing at the edge of the forest, they went to pursue the Little Black Dragon.

The battle site is a few kilometers away from here, and Dragon Force doesn’t affect this place, so the Flying Tiger quickly calmed down and began to rest in place.

The Little Black Dragon descended over the forest, starting to lower its altitude.

When it was two to three hundred meters from the ground, the Flying Tiger below opened its eyes vigilantly.

The natural Dragon Force it emitted affected the Flying Tiger.

Because Xiaoheizi had been contracted by Zong Shen, Flying Tiger and Xiaoheizi were considered allies.

The pressure of Dragon Force on the Flying Tiger was thus indirectly reduced.

The Flying Tiger’s fur bristled like steel needles, baring its teeth at the sky, appearing much less fearful than before.

In fact, if not for the suppression of Dragon Force, the Flying Tiger wouldn’t be overly fearful, though it couldn’t win a fight.

The suppression by a high-rank creature on middle- and low-rank creatures through Dragon Force is quite unreasonable.

Of course, Dragon Force cannot brainlessly suppress.

The influence of Dragon Force is considerably weakened in high-intelligence creatures, and in addition, willpower can overcome Dragon Force’s oppression to some extent.

The vigilant Flying Tiger only relaxed the aggressive posture when it saw Zong Shen on the back of the Little Black Dragon, crouching like a big cat on the ground.

The raised fur smoothed down, emitting a pleased purring sound.

The Little Black Dragon glanced at the Flying Tiger with its yellow vertical pupils but lost interest quickly.

The flavor of pickled catfish was still better...

It turned its neck and landed on the ground in a casual standing posture.

This posture caused a bit of trouble for Zong Shen to get on and off the saddle.

However, Zong Shen didn’t mind.

With Gujate, he directly leaped from the saddle.

A few meters’ height difference wasn’t worth mentioning to them.

"Flying Tiger, follow Gujate later on."

"Fly where it directs you to."

Zong Shen came to the side of the Flying Tiger, reaching out to stroke its chin.

He took out a tub of dried meat with a backhand, dumping it all on the ground.

The Flying Tiger, having been tamed by fruit, didn’t have a mind link.

But it could still understand the Continent Common Language.
