After dealing with the Eye of the Nest Mother, they captured more than 500 captives. These captives were all enslaved by the Eye of the Nest Mother. Now that the Eye of the Nest Mother was dead, these slaves naturally belonged to Suhren.
Although Chrissy's charm was powerful, she couldn't control so many people like the Nest Mother's Eye. Therefore, Chrissy could only control the strongest people in the group. Without them, the rest of the slaves wouldn't have enough strength to rebel even if they wanted to.
Next, Suhlen divided the captives into groups of 50 and came up with a set of rules. A captain was chosen from each group and given some preferential treatment. They would immediately stand on Suhlen's side and help Suhlen oppress their own kind. This kind of thing happened too often in Suhlen's northern city. Even now, there were still a lot of foreign overseers in the northern city.
To prevent these slaves from escaping, Suhlen divided each group into groups of five. The slaves in the groups were to supervise each other. If someone escaped, everyone in the group would be punished. Moreover, the groups were to supervise each other. Those who reported the escapees would be rewarded. The highest reward was freedom, and the lowest reward was some food.
At the same time, Suhlen had the drows watch over the slaves. After completing the rules, Suhlen had the slaves build a camp here. At the same time, he sent the grey dwarves to explore the gold mine in all directions.
After everything was arranged, Suhlen took Crazy to search for the Eye of the Nest Mother. Beholder creatures also liked precious metals and shiny things. Their nests often contained a lot of wealth. Although it wasn't as rich as dragons, it wasn't too far off. Suhlen naturally wouldn't miss out on this wealth. Who would complain about having too much money?
With a clever captive leading the way, Suhlen and Crazy rushed to the Eye of the Nest Mother. The Eye of the Nest Mother's nest wasn't far from here. It was only about two kilometers away. It was located in a cave. At this time, there were some taurens standing guard outside the cave.
Even the Eye of the Nest Mother had been killed by Suhlen, so the taurens were even easier to deal with. Zhao Fu casually threw out five lightning whips, causing the Minotaurs to be paralyzed and unable to move, easily subduing them.
Looking at the cave before him, Su Lun didn't enter directly. Who knew if there were any traps left behind by the Nest Mother's Eye?
Suhlen looked around and saw that no one was around. Then he took his Storm War Halberd and walked towards the two Taurens. He kicked them and said coldly, "Don't play dead, get up!"
Suhlen's spell wasn't to kill him, but to make him lose his ability to resist. One had to know that mining required a large number of slaves, and it was better to have one less slave die.
"Don't kill me! …" The man struggled to get up.
Although he didn't die, his injuries weren't light. At this moment, he was full of reverence for Suhlen. In the Tauren tribe, only the Prophet Shaman had the power of magic. He could clearly sense that Suhlen was far more powerful than the shamans in his tribe.
Suhlen put the Storm War Halberd on the Tauren's neck and asked in a low voice, "Who is your master?"
Although the Tauren was in awe, he didn't tell Suhlen about his master. It was as if his master had left a restriction on him.
"How troublesome!"
"Remove the spell!"
A ray of light rose from Suhlen's body, and the spell on the Tauren was removed.
"Who is your master?" Suhlen asked again.
"It's an Eye Demon." After the spell was removed, the Tauren immediately told him what he knew.
Soon, Suhlen figured out the situation in the nest. Other than the Nest Mother's Eye that he killed, there were three other Eye Demons in the nest. They were the servants of the Nest Mother's Eye. Suhlen was a little confused before. Why was there only one Eye Demon in the Nest Mother's Eye? It turned out that the rest of the Eye Demons were all in the nest. After figuring this out, he naturally wouldn't let the Eye Demons go.
Then, Suhlen and the others entered the cave. After entering the cave, they realized that it was a completely different world.
This was not a cave, but a castle. Most of the rock wall had been hollowed out, and small rooms had been excavated. There were many fluorescent stones inlaid on both sides of the road. Just as Su Lun was still observing the surroundings, a burst of footsteps came, and more enemies appeared.
This time, other than the Tauren, Orcs, and other underground races, there were also three Eye Demons.
Although the Eye Demons were strong, it depended on who the opponent was. As soon as the three Eye Demons appeared, they immediately cast Demonic Ray at Suhlen. However, after hitting, there was no reaction. Suhlen's Constitution easily withstood the Test of Toughness. These spells only caused some minor damage to him. With his strong regeneration ability, he recovered quickly.
Suhlen raised his hand and cast Five Lightning Whips. The arcs of lightning bounced quickly on the monsters, and the monsters that rushed up were immediately paralyzed. Suhlen's body flashed and appeared near a few Eye Demons. The Eye Demons were easily killed by him without any resistance.
Next, Suhlen and Chris quickly cleaned up the entire castle. All three Eye Demons in the castle were killed, and Suhlen collected three more Eye Demon corpses. The remaining 100 or so people in the castle were dealt with in the same way as before. Suhlen began to look at the spoils of war this time.
As the difference in strength between the enemies and himself was too great, and there were no Legendary creatures, there were only some Experience Points and Magic Gems as rewards. There was not even a Silver Treasure Chest.
After conquering the Dungeon, Suhlen immediately sent someone to inform Ayton to cancel the construction of the territory. This Dungeon was very suitable for a territory.
The Dungeon was not big. Suhlen did a simple survey. It was more than enough for thousands of people to live in. Moreover, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Dungeon was surrounded by hard rocks, and there was only one entrance. There were tunnels dug into the mountain walls, and there were squares, houses, and streets. It was a small city.
The largest room was where the Eye of the Nest Mother lived. After Suhlen entered the room, he discovered a small mountain of gold and jewels in the middle of the room. In this Dungeon, the Eye of the Nest Mother was worshipped by the Eye Demons and the monsters under their control as a God. These items were offerings to the Eye of the Nest Mother.
Now that the Eye of the Nest Mother had been killed by Suhlen, the gold and jewels in the room were all Suhlen's spoils of war.
After seeing the treasures, Suhlen's heart raced. Then, he ordered his subordinates to count the treasures. Most of the treasures were gold. After all, there was a gold mine, and the purity of the gold was only average. Besides the gold, there were also many Magic Gems. After counting, there were more than two tons of gold and thousands of Magic Gems. Of course, most of the Magic Gems were of average quality, and less than one-tenth of the Magic Gems were of high quality.
Suhlen asked the Grey Dwarf to refine the gold into gold bricks and store them in his storage space. Two tons of Magic Gems sounded like a lot, but in reality, the gold bricks were less than a hundred million cubic meters in size. Including the Magic Gems, the total volume was less than two cubic meters. Suhlen's storage space could easily fit them all.
While the Grey Dwarf was exploring the veins, the slaves were not idle. Suhlen arranged for them to repair the roads. The tunnels leading to Crete had to be widened and strengthened, and many of the uneven roads had to be smoothed out. After making the necessary arrangements, Su Lun took some time to return to Northern City. He handed over the gold he'd obtained to the Mint for casting, and sent the magical gems to the Wizard Tower. At the same time, Su Lun brought some men from Crete.
When he came to the underground city again, three days had passed. After all, Su Lun had only brought a little more than 20 people with him the first time he came. If he stayed here all the time, the slaves would not dare to do anything to him. However, he could not stay here all the time, so he transferred some people from the city of Crete.
In addition to preventing the slaves from causing trouble, these people's task was to clean up the area around the mine. When Suhlen returned, the Grey Dwarf had already begun to instruct the slaves to dig. As the area of the mine was too large, it would take a lot of time to explore. Therefore, they had to dig and explore at the same time.
Although only a part of the exploration had been carried out, the results made Suhlen overjoyed. Besides the gold, there were many other associated minerals. The Grey Dwarf had also found some fine gold.
Based on what they had discovered so far, the reserves of fine gold were not bad. In addition, there were also topaz, pyroxene, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and so on. There were even some gemstones.
The Magic Gems in the room of the Eye of the Nest Mother should have been excavated from here. However, the quality of the gemstones here was average. There were not many high-quality gemstones.
Among the slaves, the Kobolds and Underground Orcs were assigned to mining, while the Taurens were sent to build the tunnels. Suhlen and Chris began to sweep the territories around the dungeon. If they wanted to mine the mines, it would be impossible to rely on the hundreds of slaves in front of them. It was not realistic to transfer slaves from Crete or Orlando City.
Both Crete and Orlando City needed slaves for mining, so they couldn't afford to spare too many people for that. Fortunately, there were other tribes living around the gold mine. Suhlen led his men to conquer these tribes one by one. The slaves were sent to the newly opened mine to mine.
After a round of clearing, the potential threats around the mine were eliminated. The miners were also replenished. It was killing two birds with one stone.
