Over the past few days, more and more emerald dragons had joined Susumi's temporary army. They had all obtained their own small houses in the corner, as well as a small amount of weapons and equipment.
Lin believed that these small houses and equipment had been prepared a long time ago. Perhaps Susumi had had this idea for a long time … to gather troops from the most pitiful area of the Lower District.
Every Emerald Dragon that joined the army also received some food. Usually, it was something grown, such as some seeds and fruits. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to fill their stomachs. This was slightly better than when they were in the Lower Zone and couldn't eat their fill. This was a considerable attraction to these Emerald Dragons.
Just like that, a large number of Emerald Dragons joined the army. From the initial few hundred, the number slowly increased to over a thousand. As the reporting area was too crowded, Susumi opened up more reporting areas. Some Emerald Dragons from the Lower Zone also joined the army. These Emerald Dragons worshipped Susumi and wanted to take the lead. After all, their lives were better.
As for the Upper Zone Emerald Dragons … there were only a few of them. They didn't join the army of their own accord. Susumi had asked them to be the commanders of this army.
Rin's spies also stayed in these small houses. The Emerald Dragons here weren't very orderly. Most of the Lower Zone Emerald Dragons made a living by stealing. With such a large group of Emerald Dragons gathered together, it was indeed possible for problems to occur. However, as they had obtained houses and food, they didn't cause much trouble.
"Things are going well, Your Majesty." In the palace, Mukla and Susumi would always stay in the map room to discuss matters. Looking at the statues in the small houses in the corner of the city map, Mukla said, "There are already several thousand of them. Almost all of the Lower Zone's Emerald Dragons have gathered here. "
"Very good," Susumi said with satisfaction. "There are indeed a lot of them. When the other positions are full, they will be produced in large numbers. Only by participating in battles can they find something to do. "
"Yes," Mukla said. "They usually have nothing to do but steal. Now, they can finally be put to use. However, these houses will soon be full."
"In that case, it's about time for them to set off," Susumi said. Susumi said, "Standing Scorpions are a huge threat, and their fighting style is a mystery. However, this group of temporarily recruited troops can play a very good role … They will go and investigate Standing Scorpion's fighting style. "
"Only when we have a complete understanding of our opponents will we send out the regular troops." Susumi stared at the south side of the map, where there were several large pyramid statues. "Use the new weapons to completely destroy them. Only by dealing with this threat can we continue to expand our territory."
Mukla agreed and said, "My King, this is a perfect plan. Not only can we win the war, but we can also clean up the useless people in the lower districts."
"They are not useless, Mukla," Susumi said. "They are only here because the city has stopped expanding. The other professions are all full, and it's only because they have no other choice. "
"But. It's necessary for them to participate in the battle. We can't just attack an opponent we don't know anything about. "Susumi walked towards the door of the room and said," Let's go. The battle has already begun … "
"Yes, King." Mukla immediately followed.
Sure enough, their thoughts were very complicated. Although Susumi and Mukla had a good 'relationship', their thoughts were different from each other.
Lin still had an eyeball in the palace that had been observing Susumi's situation. It seemed that Susumi's goal was very clear. She would let the temporarily formed troops fight and investigate the opponent's fighting style. Then, she would send out the regular troops.
The regular troops were very precious. Every member had to go through a considerable amount of training and had the best equipment, so they could not be lost easily.
However, the temporary troops were different. They could also create a false impression for Standing Scorpions, making them think that the Emerald Dragons' troops were weak and underestimated them.
'Underestimating' was a strange feeling. Lin believed that it came from the initial mindset of wanting to minimize the consumption of energy when hunting. Therefore, many creatures began to judge the strength of their opponents and decide how much energy they should use.
However, there were often cases where the wrong judgment led to the opponent's counterattack. This was the so-called 'underestimating'. Creatures with complicated thoughts like the Emerald Dragons developed and grew stronger. There were more examples of them making wrong judgments than ordinary creatures. That was why Susumi knew this very well.
After that, Susumi dispatched a small number of troops and two Emerald Dragons from the Upper Zone to the 'temporary troop gathering place'. They began to gather all the temporary troops. They were not going to set off now. Instead, they were going to train them and explain some rules of battle.
There was only one rule, and it was quite simple: fight bravely, and kill if you run away.
The main content of the training was to listen to orders and maintain order. So far, the Emerald Dragons were performing well. Although many of them were thieves in the past, they were quite obedient now.
Lin felt that they might not be able to perform well on the battlefield. The Emerald Dragons had seen some ferocious giant creatures, but they had never seen a real battle.
However, the other Emerald Dragon was different.
This place was a desert. The sun was high in the sky, and there were no clouds for thousands of miles. Two figures, one green and one grey, stood on the hot sand. Their eyes were staring straight ahead.
They were an Emerald Dragon and a Skeleton Dragon. They held spears that seemed to be made of sand tightly in their hands, as if they were about to face a big battle.
The Skeleton Dragon glanced at the Emerald Dragon and whispered, "Fei Mao, get ready …"
"Ga!"
The moment the emerald dragons responded, the sand a hundred meters in front of them suddenly became restless, as if a storm was blowing through the sand. Countless grains of sand floated into the air and quickly gathered together to form the shapes of skeletal dragons. The grains of sand gathered into spears and swords in their hands. In a short period of time, a huge army of 'sand skeletal dragons' was born!
There were thousands of them, and their roars were earth-shattering!
"They're about to attack, Fei Mao!" The Skeleton Dragon beside Fei Mao shouted. However, Fei Mao was completely stunned when he saw such a huge army of sand. His whole body was trembling, and he could not hold his weapon steadily.
"Ga —!!!" The army of Sand Skeleton Dragons roared and charged towards them. Their footsteps were enough to make the desert tremble!
"Get ready, come with me …" the Skeleton Dragon held its spear tightly, looking very excited. However, at this moment, Fei Mao suddenly screamed and grabbed the Skeleton Dragon's hand, running wildly in the opposite direction.
The Skeleton Dragon saw how scared Fei Mao was and immediately said, "Don't be afraid, we can …"
Before it could finish its sentence, the world around it suddenly shattered into countless pieces like a smashed slate. The endless desert and the incomparably huge army of Sand Skeleton Dragons dissipated in an instant …
The scenery around them turned into an ordinary treehouse. They could see Fei Mao and a Skeleton Dragon sticking their heads into a huge rock on the ground.
"… Ho-chan, what, exactly, is that …" Fei Mao pulled his head out of the rock. He could speak the Skeleton Dragon's language now, but he was not very familiar with it …
"We've wasted our chance." The other Skeleton Dragon pulled its head out of the rock and said, "If we want to go in again, we might have to wait for ten days and nights …"
Huo Chan was the name of this Skeletal Dragon. It didn't have any special meaning, and Skeletal Dragons were named very casually. However, unlike the Emerald Dragons, Skeletal Dragon cubs also had the opportunity to name themselves, unlike the Emerald Dragons, which were completely named by adults. Therefore, when the cubs named themselves, their names were usually weirder. After each name was recognized, it would be recorded.
"Go … go in? Deal with those weird, scary, creatures? " Fei Mao was obviously still a little scared of the situation. He could not imagine how Ho-chan was able to deal with so many monsters without being scared.
"By the way, Fei Mao, this is your first time seeing this, right?" Ho-chan said, "This is another world. In it, you don't have to worry about death or injury."
"…" Fei Mao did not seem to understand Ho-chan's words at all.
"This is the world given to us by the 'Pompom'." Huo Chan didn't seem to care about Javelin's expression. He continued, "It is filled with all kinds of things that are completely different from the outside world. It is said that after our soldiers die in battle, their souls will go to this world and finally be reborn as eggs."
"And we can also enter this world through the 'Pompom Stone'," Ho-chan said. Huo Jiang said, "Here, we can train and rest, but we can only stay here for a while. If we want to prolong it, we need to hunt some special creatures inside … Just like the sand thing we just encountered."
"This is … a Pompom?" Fei Mao was slightly stunned after hearing this. Recently, he had been learning everything about Pompom. The current living environment of the Humerus Dragons was closely related to Pompom. In almost every Humerus Dragon's house, or on the bridge, there were carvings of Pompom on the bark of trees. There was also a huge statue of a Pompom in the forest. The Humerus Dragons worshipped Pompom, and the word "Pompom" also represented a very noble meaning.
Now, Fei Mao had discovered something incredible … Pompom could actually allow them to enter another 'world'!
Fei Mao still did not understand the meaning of the word 'world', but it was indeed a completely different place.
For Fei Mao, this was the most wonderful thing he had encountered in the Humerus Dragons.
But for Lin, there were some problems. The Dream World currently needed some … updates. Floating astronomy.
