"Master, don't worry. I will restrain those harpies." Alex nodded.
Suhlen and Alex came out of the cave. The outside was already surrounded by harpies. It seemed that the whole sky was filled with harpies. After seeing Suhlen appear, all the harpies stared at him with red eyes, which made his hair stand on end.
Alex spread his wings and flew up, quickly calming all the harpies. After a while, the harpies finally dispersed. However, there were still a few harpies around Alex. When they looked at Suhlen, their eyes were full of vigilance.
These harpies were quite different from ordinary harpies. They also had gorgeous fiery red hair, and their appearance was more similar to humans. Their arms had been separated from their wings, and their lower bodies were smooth legs. Only their calves had the sharp claws of birds. These harpies were called harpies.
The lower body of ordinary harpies was closer to the legs and claws of eagles, and their arms and wings were connected. Most of their feathers were grayish-brown.
Suhlen didn't take the hostility of the harpies to heart. Instead, he asked Alex about the surrounding environment. There were many other underground creatures living around here. Thirty kilometers away, through two tunnels to the north, there was a stone forest. There was a group of petrifying lizards living in it, and there were more than a dozen of them.
In the northeast, there was an underground lake. There were many fish living in it, including some underground magic fish. There was also a group of lion-scorpions living around the lake.
As for the mineral resources, Alex didn't know. After all, the harpies didn't know how to mine. In the southwest was the tunnel Suhlen came from. Soon, the harpies packed up and set off. The harpies didn't have many items, so Suhlen and the others moved very quickly.
After a while, they came to the place where Suhlen and the drows agreed to meet. When they saw that the sky was full of harpies, the drows subconsciously hid. Fortunately, Suhlen appeared soon.
Looking at the harpies flying in the sky, the drows looked at Suhlen with even more awe. After all, it hadn't been long since Suhlen had single-handedly subdued this group of harpies. When the harpies saw the drows, there was even a slight commotion. Many of the harpies were eager to have a try. Their old habit of capturing males to mate had resurfaced.
Fortunately, with Alex's restraint, these harpies were well-behaved.
"Your Excellency, these harpies were all subdued by you?" The leader of the drows looked at the harpies and said hesitantly.
"Well, don't worry, they have Alex's restraint.. Nothing, nothing will happen," Suhlen said with a smile.
"But there are too many of them, and the harpies will capture a large number of males during the estrus period. They will follow their instincts more often," the drows said.
In fact, the drows had also thought of taming some harpies to serve as flying troops. Ordinary harpies had the same intelligence as wild beasts. Although they could hear orders after training, once they reached the estrus period, these harpies would follow their instincts and capture any male they saw. In the end, the drows gave up on taming them.
"Their base will not be near Northern City," Suhlen explained, knowing the drows' concerns.
With this group of harpies, Su Lun did not go to Orlando City again. Instead, he returned directly to the surface. A large group of harpies and drows advanced along the narrow underground passage. The movement caused by the large group of people scared away all the monsters around them.
The whole group moved forward in an orderly manner. A group of thousands of people, plus some logistics carriages, needed a strong command ability to pass through the narrow passage that was only a dozen meters wide. Suhlen also relied on the strategic map to command.
The group's progress was a little messy. You didn't know how to expect the harpies to be disciplined. After all, they were just a group of monsters not long ago. The drow soldiers were orderly and had cold faces. It could be said that they had the best military discipline in Northern City. Next were the half-elves, and the worst were the barbarians and centaurs.
The barbarians were a matter of character, and the centaurs were a matter of racial requirements. But now, the Harpies were going to take over the most chaotic part. These Harpies were chattering non-stop, and some were even fighting with each other in the air. They didn't realize that they were marching. Fortunately, Alex was there to restrain them. Otherwise, these Harpies would definitely be in big trouble.
Suhlen did not bring the harpies back to Northern City. He chose a new habitat for the harpies in a valley near the Sierra de Lotas.
This valley was discovered by Suhlen when he was patrolling the surrounding environment of his territory. There was only one exit in the valley, and the whole valley was shaped like a horn. The exit was very small, only about 20 meters wide. The valley was full of plants, and there was a waterfall flowing down from the mountain, forming a small lake in the valley.
Because it was in the valley, the temperature was not too low even in winter. Although it was not suitable for building a town, it was still good to build a nest for the harpies.
After Alex joined Northern City, the entire harpies were also included in the system of Northern City. All the harpies added up to a total of 3156 harpies. There were only a little more than 100 harpies, and the rest were all harpies.
Of course, the harpies were different. They were divided into normal and elite leaders. It was easy to tell them apart by looking at the human characteristics on their bodies. Generally speaking, the more human-like a harpy was, the higher their intelligence and strength would be.
Suhlen was planning to build a residence in this valley. He specially transferred a team of a thousand harpies from Northern City to carry out the construction. Suhlen's plan was a large eagle fort, which was remodeled from a mountain.
Less than two days after Suhlen left Northern City, the remaining grey dwarves could no longer endure life without vodka. It was fine if they did not enjoy it before, but after enjoying it once and then cutting it off, the grey dwarves had a greater right to express their feelings.
Therefore, a few days later, these stubborn grey dwarves who would rather die than surrender appeared in the construction team of Northern City. Suhlen wanted to build the eagle fort, so Chris directly sent them over with the other craftsmen.
The grey dwarves were very experienced in excavating mountains. The construction of the eagle fort was based on the mountain. They hollowed out the inside of the mountain and then built a large number of lofts. The construction process was not difficult. With the dwarves who were masters of excavation, it only took a week to complete the construction of the eagle fort. They even carved many mythical statues on the eagle fort as decorations.
These statues were the legendary ancient god Wind God, and some demigod harpies. They were basically the religion of the harpies.
The eagle fort's appearance was not very extravagant. It was completely carved out of rock. Suhlen checked the attributes of the eagle fort and found that it was really a good building.
[Eagle Fort: An important building built by the cooperation of a master dwarf and a master craftsman. It is the habitat of the harpies. Harpies who live here for a long time have a chance to evolve their bloodline. Growth + 10, Cleanliness + 12, Indestructibility + 14, Health + 8, Comfort + 13, Warmth in Winter and Coolness in Summer + 12, Enlightenment + 5, Evolution + 3]
Although the overall attributes of the eagle fort were not high, or even low, the attributes it gave surprised Suhlen.
The Eagle Stronghold had a total of eight attribute bonuses. Although the bonuses weren't high, there were two attributes that were very rare. Enlightenment and Evolution attributes were very rare to see on their own. He didn't expect them to appear on the same building. Growth, Health, and Cleanliness were all normal attributes, but Evolution and Enlightenment were very different.
Both of these attributes could change the attributes of a tribe. Enlightenment could increase intelligence, turning the beast-like harpies into intelligent creatures. Evolution could evolve their bloodline, allowing them to evolve into advanced harpies. Although the success rate was pitifully low, there was still a chance for them to evolve into harpies.
After adding the harpies to the Northern City's system, Suhlen could also recruit harpies. At the same time, the Harpy Soldier Tree had also appeared.
According to the system's statistics, there were over three thousand Harpies in Northern Battlefront City. Most of them were low-level Harpies, and a small number of them were Elite Harpies. After becoming Elite Harpies, they would evolve to become Harpy Leaders.
Then came the harpies. These harpies were the guards of the advanced harpies, and the elite harpies. Elite harpies were very similar to advanced harpies.
Every time they evolved, their intelligence, body, and attributes would all increase. When the harpies evolved into elite harpies, they would be a completely different species compared to the harpies at the beginning.
What surprised Suhlen even more was that the elite harpies had already mastered elemental abilities. Although their power was limited, if all the harpies evolved into elite harpies, the Northern City would be able to dominate the wasteland with just these elite harpies.
There was no need for an ordinary army at all. Just the air force alone could easily crush the enemy. Of course, the process would definitely be very long. Although it was not too difficult for a Harpy to evolve in the early stages, and the experience required was almost twice that of a human, after evolving into a Harpy, the experience required to evolve again would skyrocket to a very shocking number. It was not that easy to evolve into an Elite Harpy.
But then again, the difference between an elite harpy and an elite harpy was huge. It was equivalent to a bloodline evolution.
