The lizardmen army collapsed, and the barbarians that had been guarding the village rushed out to pursue. These barbarians hated the lizardmen to the bone, so they naturally wouldn't give up this opportunity for revenge.
During the pursuit of the lizardmen, there was a small incident. A small group of lizardmen had gathered together and retreated. However, they didn't scatter and flee. Instead, they fought as they retreated. Some of the Northern Barbarians who pursued them were even killed instead. This situation quickly attracted Su Lun's attention, and he immediately ordered the archers to take special care of them.
Soon, the lizardmen were wiped out, and the few that remained fled. But since they were targeted, how could they be allowed to escape? A barbarian marauder rushed over.
When the lizardmen saw the incoming barbarians, their expressions changed drastically. One of the lizardmen waved a withered vine cane, and a green light appeared.
Thorny Vines!
The Lizardmen tossed a few creatures out. Vines instantly sprouted from the ground in a dozen meters around them. These plants grew wildly as soon as they appeared. In a breath's time, they had wrapped around the Barbarian Marauder and bound him in place.
These vines were covered in sharp barbs, but against the marauder's bronze skin, these vines had no effect at all. The vines grew rapidly, quickly wrapping around the marauder's legs and extending upwards.
Seeing the marauder trapped, the lizardman let out a sigh of relief. But just as he thought it was safe, the marauder swung his axe. The tough vines only lasted a few blows before they were completely cut apart.
The Barbarian leapt out of the vines. Seeing this, the lizardman instinctively wanted to flee. However, the Barbarian was faster. Before the lizardman could move, the Barbarian was already brandishing its weapon, ready to cut him down.
"Leave one alive!"
Suhlen's voice suddenly rang out. The marauder's weapon was forcefully deflected, and it slashed the lizardman's nose into the ground. The lizardman felt a chill run through his body, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground, cold sweat pouring out.
The battle had basically come to an end. A large number of lizardmen had died, and the twelve marauders were unharmed. The northern barbarians had also stopped their pursuit.
After the battle was over, the soldiers of Northern Battlefront City began to clean up the battlefield. The lizardmen who were still alive gave them a quick death and collected all their equipment. It was at this time that a barbarian marauder came over with a strong northern barbarian.
"Boss, this person wants to see you."
"Let him come over!" Su Lun glanced at him and nodded.
The northern barbarian followed the other barbarian with a face full of reverence. "Respected Sir, thank you for lending us a helping hand in our most dangerous time. you will be our most respected guest, and we are willing to pledge our loyalty to you!"
"How many people are in your village?" Suhlen asked.
"My Lord, our village originally had 500 people. Among them, 157 were warriors. Now, there are 116 people left."
"Alright, I am the lord of Northguard City, Suhlen. I accept your loyalty." Suhlen nodded. Although there were many people in Northguard City, he didn't mind having more people.
"Pack up your things, and then follow them to clean up the battlefield."
"Yes, Sir!"
"Congratulations, Host. Under your leadership, your army has won a great victory. You have received two thousand three hundred experience points, and you have received the item Fine Iron x3."
"Congratulations, Host. You have defeated the lizardmen. You have received a gold treasure chest!"
"Congratulations, Host. You have saved a northern barbarian village. Your relationship with this village has reached 'Respect'."
"Ding! A northern barbarian village has pledged loyalty to you!"
A series of system notifications rang in his ears. Suhlen looked at them and closed the system interface.
"Bring the captive here."
"Yes, Sir!" The drow immediately turned and left. After a while, the drow came back with the lizardman.
"Lizardman, you should know the drow next to you. You should also know their methods. Now, answer whatever I ask you. If you dare to lie to me, this drow will let you have a taste of their traditional craftsmanship." After seeing the lizardman, Suhlen smiled at him. However, this smile made him feel cold all over.
"Un … Un … Understood!" The lizardman trembled and nodded.
"That's good!" Suhlen nodded.
"Tell me, why did you attack this village?"
"We did it for food and weapons!" The lizardman said.
Suhlen glanced at him and said, "Hehe, food and weapons? Do you think I'm stupid? "
"I'll leave it to you!" Suhlen waved his hand at the drow next to him.
Then the drow directly carried the lizardman not far away. Soon, a burst of miserable screams came through. About five minutes later, Suhlen asked the drow to bring him back.
"Tell me, why did you attack that village?" Suhlen looked at the wounded lizardman and asked.
"Sir … Sir, we really did it for food and seeds." The lizardman cried.
"It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. It's the sturgeon migration season now. You shouldn't be short of food! You're telling me it's for food? "
The lizardman said, "Sir, what I said is true. You have to believe me. Our tribe is preparing to migrate. We robbed the food to find a place to plant it after we migrate."
"Well, let's say what you said is true." Suhlen nodded and continued.
"You want to migrate? Why? "
"Because … Because …" The lizardman hesitated.
Suhlen sneered, "It seems that the lesson just now was not enough!"
"Milton, teach him a lesson!"
"Yes, sir." Milton smiled and then took the lizardman away again as he begged for mercy. Soon, the lizardman's rhythmic screams were heard. About five minutes later, the drow brought the lizardman back again.
"Are you awake now?"
"Awake! Awake! "
"What a scumbag. Why do you have to beat me to tell you?" Suhlen shook his head and said.
"Tell me, why are you migrating?"
"Because … Because a Hydra suddenly appeared in the swamp!"
Suhlen was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He immediately understood why these lizardmen were migrating. He also realized that he was wrong about the Black Dragon in the swamp. As dragons, they were very powerful and liked to enslave lizardmen, kobolds, gnolls, and other races. If a Black Dragon appeared in the swamp, these lizardmen should have been taken in as subordinates by the Black Dragon instead of being forced to migrate.
As for the dragon's roar that the scouts heard in the swamp, it should be the Hydra's roar. Although the Hydra was called a snake, it actually had some dragon blood in it. It was a dragon-descendant creature. However, unlike ordinary dragon-descendant creatures, the Hydra's strength was almost comparable to a real dragon.
The Hydra was also known as the Hydra. It was a powerful monster with nine heads. Their heads had some characteristics of dragons, and their bodies were covered with dragon scales. Its nine heads could spit out venom or other breath attacks. Furthermore, they had powerful poison and recovery abilities.
These creatures were similar to dragons. The weakest among them was at the Legendary level. In some ancient books, the most powerful Hydra was an Immemorial Abhorrence. However, this Immemorial Abhorrence Hydra had been slain in ancient times.
Suhlen did not know if there were any Hydras of this level. Although Hydras had the strength of a Legendary level, they did not know how to gather subordinates. Most of the Hydras were not normal. Because they had nine heads, they had nine consciousnesses, and they would compete with each other for control.
Like demons, Hydras were chaotic and evil creatures. They would attack any creature they saw. When there were no enemies, the nine heads of Hydras would even kill each other. It could be said that Hydras were in a state of schizophrenia all year round. It was not an ordinary split, but nine.
Therefore, Hydras that were in a state of chaos for a long time did not gather subordinates. These lizardmen did not want to die, so they could only leave the swamp and migrate.
Although the Hydra was chaotic, its fighting strength was not weak. It was even stronger than a white dragon. Its regenerative ability was very strong. As long as one of its heads was not dead, the Hydra would not die. As long as it had enough time, even if only one of its heads was left, it could grow back the other eight heads.
At the same time, the environment of the Hydra's living area would also change. For example, the swamp would become a poisonous swamp. In the area it lived in, the swamp would be highly toxic. If the Hydra was not dealt with, perhaps after next year, the sturgeon in the Red Sand River would no longer swim. The poisonous water in the swamp would pollute the river, and from the downstream to the estuary, a large number of creatures would die.
Of course, the Hydra's body was not ordinary. Its skin was comparable to a real dragon's skin. Its blood was also a precious alchemy material that could be used to make Dragon Blood Potions. Its fangs, scales, organs, and so on were all very good materials.
After learning that there was a Hydra here, Su Lun had already regarded it as prey. Although the Hydra was powerful, it was still relatively easy to deal with compared to the Dragon. This was because the Dragon liked to enslave a large number of monsters. The older the Dragon, the more creatures it could enslave. Many times, the Dragon Slaying Teams were killed by the Dragon's servants before they could even see the Dragon.
What's more, dragons were very cunning. Among the Chromatic Dragons, except for the Red Dragon, the other Chromatic Dragons liked to sneak attack. Hydras, on the other hand, were different. The nine heads fought with each other without thinking, so it was easier to kill a Hydra.
