"Apart from your tribe, where are the other lizardmen tribes?" Suhlen continued to ask. The swamp was huge, and there was more than one lizardmen tribe living there. Now that the swamp was occupied by the Hydra, the lizardmen migrating north would definitely cause chaos in the area.
"I don't know about the other tribes. They didn't come with us. I only know that some of them went northwest," the lizardman druid said.
Suhlen then asked a few other questions, and then let the drows take care of him. There were not many captives left in this war, mainly because the lizardmen were not suitable to be slaves.
After dealing with these matters, Suhlen opened the storage space and opened the golden treasure chest that he had just obtained.
"Congratulations, you have opened the golden treasure chest. You have obtained the special building blueprint" Eagle's Nest "."
Hearing that he had obtained a special blueprint, Suhlen's eyes lit up, and he immediately checked it.
[Construction Blueprint Eagle's Nest: This is a blueprint that records how to build an eagle's nest. After using it, you can build an eagle's nest. Eagle's Nest: You can train and recruit eagles to scout or send messages.]
Seeing the introduction of the eagle's nest, Suhlen was overjoyed. Although there was magic communication in this world, the magic communication stone was expensive and could only be used a few times. It was impossible to distribute it to the entire army. Now that there were eagles to scout and send messages, the efficiency could be said to be several times higher. Moreover, the eagles were birds of prey, so there was no need to worry about being preyed on by other birds of prey in the sky.
With these Flying Eagles, the scouts would be able to quickly send news back. Although it was not as fast as the magic communication stone, the cost was lower. After putting away the blueprint, Suhlen prepared to go back and build the eagle's nest.
.....
"Pack up the spoils and bring these people back first." Suhlen led many soldiers and the Northern Barbarians who had just submitted to him and left the ruined village to return to Northern Town City.
After knowing that a Hydra had appeared in the swamp, Suhlen did not immediately go there. Instead, he prepared to deal with the lizardmen in front of him first. After returning to Northern Town City, the scouts began to collect traces of the lizardmen, and then the army of Northern Town City would be sent out to encircle and eliminate them.
The strength of the Lizardmen could only be considered average. The only noteworthy thing was the Spell Casters among them. These Spell Casters could cast spells to enslave the Swamp Beasts. However, unlike other Spell Casters, lizardman Spell Casters were more focused on enslaving and cultivating Swamp Beasts, so they could not cast many spells. With the presence of the barbarian plunderers, the Swamp Beasts they tamed were simply a joke.
Suhlen found some craftsmen and prepared to build an eagle's nest in the military camp. An eagle's nest was not a bird's nest, but a special institution for training, cultivation, and reproduction. The Eagle's Nest was not small. It could be divided into three parts: the training ground, the incubation room, and the nest.
The construction of the Eagle's Nest required 50 cubic meters of stone, 120 cubic meters of wood, and 30 iron ingots. Suhlen had the warehouse hand over the materials to the craftsmen and told them to follow the blueprint. After arranging the construction work, Suhlen began to look for suitable Eagle's Nest.
After the Eagle's Nest was built in the game, one could recruit Eagle's Nest with money. This function did not exist in the real world. One had to capture some Eagle's Nest first, then send them to the Eagle's Nest to be tamed. After the taming was complete, professional training was required. Only after passing this could the Eagle's Nest become a Messenger Eagle.
Capturing Eagle's Nest naturally did not require him to do it himself. Suhlen had the city hall issue a mission to capture Eagle's Nest and collect Eagle's Eggs. Two days later, a large number of Adventurers sent all kinds of Eagle's Nest to the city hall.
The Eagle's Nest didn't need to be too big for the Eagle's Nest, so the large Eagle's Nest was eliminated. Although they couldn't be used as Messenger Eagles, they could still be raised as pets. Suhlen selected a few medium-sized Eagle's Nest from these Eagle's Nest. He was going to send them to the Eagle's Nest for training after it was built.
The craftsmen in North Town City were very experienced in construction. It didn't take much time to build an Eagle's Nest. It only took five days for the Eagle's Nest to be completed.
Suhlen went to the military camp. A strange building had been erected next to the camp. This building did not look like a normal house. The Eagle's Nest was surrounded by a five-meter-tall wall. Inside the wall was a training ground. On both sides of the training ground were incubators and nests. There were also all kinds of training tools on the training ground.
[Eagle's Nest: Special Building. The Eagle's Nest can be used to cultivate, train, and breed Eagles. After strict training, the Eagles can be used for reconnaissance and communication. Current Number of Eagles: 0/500 (Please replenish the Eagles as soon as possible) Number of Eagle Trainers: 0/5 (Please select five suitable Eagle Trainers) Daily Maintenance: 500 Kinnar. Training Speed + 18, Indestructible + 22, Disease Reduction + 25, Incubation Speed + 20, Mutation + 2]
Suhlen was very satisfied after checking the attributes of the Eagle's Nest. The Eagle's Nest had an additional Mutation + 2. The Mutation attribute had appeared once when Suhlen built the Cryopterus Incubator. After that, a Cryopterus mutated and evolved into an Ice Quetzalcoatlus. Now that the Eagle's Nest had this attribute, Suhlen wondered what kind of surprise it would bring.
The Eagle's Nest required five Eagle Trainers. Suhlen opened the building's attributes to check the requirements. Even ordinary people could become Eagle Trainers. With the blessing of the building's attributes, they could quickly master the skills of training and training the Eagles. However, if he wanted to make the Eagle Trainers better, he would need someone with talent. It would be best if they had the talent of Animal Companions.
Usually, only Rangers and Druids had the talent of Animal Companions. The only ones who had this talent in Northern Town were half-elves. Suhlen found Grace and asked her to recommend five half-elves to become Eagle Trainers.
With the half-elves as Eagle Trainers, the Eagle's Nest could finally be put to use. Suhlen sent the Eagles he had captured to the Eagle's Nest for taming.
It would take a month to tame the Eagles. The Eagle's Nest had an attribute that increased the taming speed. With the half-elves' Animal Companions talent, the taming time was reduced to twenty days.
Suhlen nodded in satisfaction when he saw that he could receive a large number of messenger Eagles in twenty days. After checking out the Eagle's Nest, Suhlen began to increase the number of Eagle Trainers in the army. From now on, every scout in Northern Town City would have to carry an Eagle. A squad of fifty people would have three Eagles, and an army of one thousand would have three.
Other than the army, the caravans and the city hall in Northern Town City would also need Eagles to send messages. Mirror Lake City and Centaur City would also have Eagles to send messages. When all of Suhlen's territories had Eagles, the speed of sending messages would greatly increase.
Of course, in addition to the eagle, Su Lun did not cancel the magic communication stone. These magic communication stones would supplement the eagle's communication. When there was a major event or an emergency, and the eagle's communication speed was slow, the magic communication stone would be used at this time.
While Suhlen was busy building the Eagles, Northern Town City's army was clearing out the Lizardmen Tribes that were migrating to the North. At the same time, they recruited a dozen Northern Town Barbarian Tribes of various sizes. These Northern Town Barbarian Tribes ranged from three to five hundred people to a hundred people. In total, Northern Town City had gained two thousand people.
These Northern Town Barbarians had strong bodies. Suhlen transferred some of them to the army. The Barbarians were also part of the Northern Town Barbarians, so their leveling up was the same as the Barbarians. They also had Berserk like the Barbarians, so they could only form their own groups.
Other than these Barbarians, two half-elven villages had also joined Northern Town City. Suhlen was very welcoming to the half-elves. He had always wanted to recruit more half-elves, but these half-elves were not willing. Also, because of Grace, Suhlen could not force them.
This time, when the Lizardmen invaded, Suhlen took advantage of the opportunity when the Lizardmen were besieging the half-elven villages. He helped them defeat the Lizardmen and gained their favor. That was how he recruited the two half-elven villages into Northern Town City. Now, the number of half-elves in Northern Town City had exceeded one thousand.
While he was clearing out the Lizardmen, Suhlen did not forget about the Hydra in the Poisonous Swamp in the South. One-third of the scouts in Northern Town City had gone to the Poisonous Swamp to collect information. In order to cooperate with them, Suhlen asked Andre to lead the Wizard Apprentices to make some antidotes, insect repellents, underwater breathing potions, and a few other potions that could be used in the swamp.
With the help of these potions, these drows could enter the Poisonous Swamp more easily and obtain the information Suhlen wanted.
Although Suhlen was powerful, he would not underestimate his opponents, especially dangerous targets like the Hydra. There were two origins of the Hydra's bloodline. One was said to be from the ancient Hydra with multiple heads, and the other was from the Hydra. However, research had found that the Hydra's body had both of these bloodlines.
Hathaway was also very interested when she heard that Suhlen had found a Hydra. Therefore, when she heard that Suhlen was preparing to deal with the Hydra, she also came up with various ideas and plans.
The most annoying thing about the Hydra, other than its powerful recovery ability, was its venom. According to the legends, even the gods were very afraid of the venom of the Ancient Hydra. Although the Hydra in the Poisonous Swamp was not as powerful, it still did not feel good to be bitten by it.
Without a special antidote, even a legendary figure would not be able to survive for long. Suhlen did not want to test whether the Hydra's venom was more powerful or if his body was stronger.
It was not easy to get rid of the Hydra's venom. This kind of antidote required a lot of precious magic materials. Luckily, most of the materials could be found in the Northern Town City's Mystery Plane and the Sky Garden. He could just collect them and use them directly. The few that he did not have, he could just ask the merchants to buy them or issue a quest in the city hall.
