Lord of the Scourge: Become the Demon Archduke In the Beginning

next morning.

slave market.

"My lord, this is the latest tiger tribe captured, each only needs 200,000 puke..."

"This is a half-snake man with a strong body, very suitable for fighting, 300,000 puke..."

"Half-rat people can give birth to more than ten children per child, three children a year, and adulthood in three years, 100 children and 100,000 puke..."

Looking at the crowded slave market, Lauren was in a good mood.

He was very excited to acquire more than 200 talents at an extremely low price yesterday.

So early in the morning, he took Robert and Fianna to the slave market again.

But after observing for a while, his brows frowned slightly.

Because the price of alien slaves is generally higher than that of human slaves.

After thinking for a while, I gradually understood the key point.

Most of the aliens in this area are combat slaves, not as weak as the human slaves yesterday.

Combat talents are far easier to detect than human talents who are proficient in various skills.

This directly led to a significant drop in his efficiency of picking up leaks.

I walked around for half an hour and got nothing.

This made Lauren very unhappy.

And there is also a very serious problem-purchasing several arms alone cannot form a system.

In other words, even if he finds a valuable slave, there is no need to buy it, because he cannot form a legion.

It would be too confusing to just buy individual werewolves, khajiren, orcs, lizardmen, tauren...etc.

Although these arms are mixed together, although they are individually powerful, it is difficult to achieve any effect in a large-scale war, and the cost performance is extremely low.

If you buy hundreds of people to match a single slightly prominent unit, it is not in line with his original expectations, and it is not realistic.

Those who have not experienced combat may have the idea of ​​forming such a disorderly army.

But after experiencing the bloody day, Lauren couldn't understand how powerful the formed army is.

So I still firmly want to find an established legion to cultivate.

Fianna was a little surprised to see that Lauren didn't purchase as much as yesterday.

"There are no slaves we need here?"

Lauren shook her head.

"A single tree doesn't make a forest... One or two of these slaves can catch my eyes, but they can't form an army."

After the voice fell, I quietly dispelled the thought of picking up leaks like yesterday.

He began to seriously think about what was lacking in Huiyue City, and what strength he needed to supplement.

In the melee of the army, there are barbarian berserkers, plus the 200 half-orcs presented by the Bucks family, the defense line is basically stable.

Long-range arms, because 20 spear throwers have changed jobs to become wolf spear throwers, the real long-range power is only 20 human spear throwers, which is extremely lacking.

included in the supplementary ranks.

Cavalry, there are 39 angry bear cavalry and 20 wolf spear throwers, a total of 59 cavalry.

Although the combat power of individual arms is strong, but after all, there are not many of them, so they can only be regarded as ordinary in this respect.

can be strengthened.

In addition, there are currently only two spellcaster legions in Luna City—the Kobold Sim and the mysterious spellcaster Winnie Gra.

Lauren shook his head slightly. It was too difficult to build an army of spellcasters. With the strength of the city of Lunar Moon, it was still beyond its capabilities in a short time.

This kind of talent is too rare, you can't find it, you can only see fate.

After the sea, land and air, and the land have a bottom, the navy and the air force are left.

As far as the air force is concerned, the City of Glorious Moon is now completely blank, even cleaner than a blank test paper.

As a strategic force, the particularity of the Air Force makes many forces regard it as a treasure.

Finding a suitable mount is no less difficult than building an army of spellcasters.

Once encountering a Warcraft mount that can become an air force, it will often be swallowed by some horrifying forces in the first place, and it is impossible to flow out.

The Navy is more promising than the Air Force.

The Demon Overseer may have conquered Luna Lake by this time, enslaving thousands of frogmen for him.

He doesn't need to conquer the sea, and the Endless Wasteland doesn't have the sea for him to conquer. It just needs to make Huiyue Lake a line of defense that no one can cross.

that's enough.

After deciding on his train of thought, Lauren's thoughts instantly became clear.

The first thing he has to do now is to replenish a batch of long-range attack forces.

Secondly, the front row and cavalry should be appropriately strengthened, and secondly, some troops can be added to the lake.

Finally get some air cavalry and spellcasters if possible.

After clarifying the goal in mind, Lauren relaxed and began to screen according to the goal.

There are many powerful long-range arms, some alien races are even all archers, such as feathered people, long-eared monsters, elves, centaurs...etc

However, some races are more powerful, such as the elves, which are hardly sold on the market, and some are difficult to capture, such as the feathered race...

After pondering for a moment, Lauren turned to look at Robert beside him.

"Is there any long-eared monster slaves for sale around here?"

The long-eared monster is named for its long green ears.

This is a human-like life, about 1.7 meters tall, with arms above the knees, strong upper limbs, and a natural archer.

And the price is low, you can buy it in many places.

"Long-eared monster?" Robert looked at Lauren strangely.

"My lord, because of the curse of the bloodline, the long-eared monster will find it difficult to upgrade after reaching the bronze level.

Can we choose arms with more potential..."

Long-eared monsters are natural archers, but their level cap is too low, and bronze is almost their pinnacle.

Bronze mid-level is elite, and the top combat power of long-eared monsters is bronze high-level, and the chiefs who rule them can't even reach silver.

This kind of unit with no future is only liked by those small lords who have no strength, because it is cheap...

Are they all bronze?

In the memory of his predecessor, the long-eared monster was exceptionally talented in bows and arrows, but he didn't know much about these details.

The children of the nobles yearn for giant dragons and transcendence. Whoever has nothing to do to understand these bronze-level monsters has no future.

Not only was Lauren not disappointed when he heard this, but rather pleased.

Bronze level is good, I don’t feel bad about buying it.

And with a systematic upgrade function, what he is most afraid of are these low-level lives.

"Very well, it's the long-eared monster, take me there."

ah? ?

Robert opened his mouth to say something, but seeing Lauren's determined gaze, he closed it decisively.

Lauren's actions were so wild that he couldn't figure it out at all.

But the prestige he established before made Robert dare not neglect in the slightest.

After nodding yes, he immediately turned around and led the way.

Ten minutes later, Robert led a group of people to a remote shop.

The slave market is huge, and the big nobles and big chambers of commerce occupy the center.

The remote corners are generally small chambers of commerce that are not very strong enough to stand on the stage, and can only eat the leftovers of the big nobles.

"Master Lauren, this is a slave shop that specializes in selling long-eared monsters, goblins, gnomes, half-ratmen... such low-level orcs."

The dragon has its way of the dragon, and the mouse has its way of the rat. If they can't earn the money of the top slaves, those small merchants will naturally earn the money that the big nobles disdain to earn.

Several staff immediately came to greet him with smiles on their faces.

But when he saw Lauren, he immediately became a little cautious.

"Master Noble, you are welcome. There are a full range of low-priced slaves here. You can buy them with confidence..."

Lauren didn't talk nonsense, and stepped into the house directly.

Although the location is remote and there are not many pedestrians, the shop is quite big.

There are more than 20 cages inside, and each cage holds more than a dozen slaves of different races.

But most of them are the lowest level of goods, there are no high-level slaves such as werewolves, tigers, and lizards.

Soon, Lauren locked his eyes on one of the iron cages.

Stepping forward, he looked at the life in the iron cage with scorching eyes.

These beings have a pair of long green ears, and their appearance is almost the same as that of ordinary people, but what attracts the most attention are the arms above their knees.

The blue veins on the arm exploded, and the muscles were as tough as forged steel bars. I'm afraid this guy could kill a calf with one punch.

eye of truth

long-eared monster

Grade: Bronze Junior

Bloodline: Long-eared monster bloodline (unawakened)

Loyalty: 0

Occupation: Long-Eared Monster Strong Archer (C-level), Occupational Skill: Super Arm Strength (C-level) Their arms have powerful strength, which increases the speed of pulling the longbow by 30% and increases the endurance by 30%.

Bonds: Working together, when the number of long-eared monsters exceeds 100, they will be bound to their companions, and the number is limited to 100.

After 70% of the quantitative levels meet the promotion requirements, the remaining 30% will be upgraded together.

If more than 30% of them die midway, then this fetter will become a curse, and the long-eared monster bound by concerted efforts will no longer be able to upgrade its level.

Every time the level is upgraded, the bond will be reactivated and bound to a new 100 people.

Introduction: They have extraordinary talents for bows and arrows, but their fetters limit their growth.

A strange look appeared in Lauren's eyes.

I didn't expect the bond of the long-eared monster to be so special - 100 people are automatically bound, and after 70 people meet the level-up requirements, the remaining 30 can be upgraded at the same time.

If the requirements are not met or 30 of the 100 people are killed in the middle of the battle, then the rest will be useless.

After thinking for a while, Lauren was a little stunned.

No wonder the level of the long-eared monster has been unable to improve. It is already at the bottom of the jungle food chain. How is it possible for hundreds of people to break through at the same time?

For millions of years, everyone has treated the long-eared monster as cannon fodder, I am afraid that the number of times it has been cultivated to collective upgrade is pitifully small.

Even if it is cultivated a few times, it will be painful later because it cannot be upgraded after losing 30% of the quantity.

In war, who can count the casualties?

Moreover, it is too difficult to raise the level by self-cultivation. No one has the patience to cultivate a group of long-eared monsters with low potential.

Isn't it good to have this skill to train other arms?

While thinking and turning, Lauren slowly pondered the taste.

Others can't raise long-eared monsters, but he is different.

The system upgrade function does not make sense.

As long as there are enough monsters for the long-eared monsters to hunt, they will level up ridiculously fast.

Moreover, the feature that everyone can upgrade as long as they increase by 70% is even more powerful for him.

He can focus on cultivating 70 long-eared monsters and let them upgrade first.

Then those 30 can be brought up.

This directly saves a lot of time...

To others, this fetter is worthless garbage, but to him, it is simply an upgrade artifact.

Lauren's eyes gradually became excited.

"How many long-eared monsters are there?"

"If you go back to the adults, there are a total of 460 people, all of whom have just been arrested."

Looking at more than a dozen long-eared monsters in the iron cage, he nodded slightly.

"Robert, I want 400 long-eared monsters, you can negotiate with him."

It takes a lot of resources to cultivate all 400 long-eared monsters.

In addition, there was an army in Huiyue City, so he couldn't limit his troops, he could only pick up the most important ones.

After Lauren's words, he turned and left the shop, leaving Robert to negotiate the price with the other party.

What is his identity? These ordinary slave traders are not even qualified to meet him.

For bargaining, it is enough for someone below to do it.

Those who are superior only need to work hard.

After a while, Robert followed Lauren who had already gone to other shops to observe.

"Master Lauren, 400 big-eared monsters have a total of 3 million poke..."

"Oh? Bronze-level slaves aren't 50,000 pukes apiece?"

"Yes, that's the market retail price..."

The fuck is there a wholesale price? ?

The corner of Lauren's mouth twitched.

"These big-eared monsters were captured by a team of adventurers. I know that this guy only spent 1.5 million pokes when he bought them from the opponent."

"How do you know so well?"

"Because that team of adventurers originally wanted to sell the Big-Eared Monster to me, but I only offered 1.3 million at that time.

And the Big Ear Monster has never been easy to sell because it has no potential, and few people buy it..."

The slave trade is worthy of huge profits.

Such a change of hands can double the profit.

Lauren nodded slowly, but didn't say much about it.

Since it was bought from a second-hand dealer, the price is not too high, with an average of more than 7,000 per gram.

It is equivalent to three months' salary of an ordinary worker in Decker City.

This fund is used to exchange for a group of far beyond arms with unlimited potential, worth it.

Long-eared monsters are actually not rare. If he had time, he might have caught them himself.

But the threat of the Lizardmen is imminent, and it's time to trade money.

After the long-range power was replenished, Lauren was in a good mood, and changed his target to the next one-cavalry and aquatic units.

But what happened next didn't go as he had hoped.

After looking at the slave market for a long time, he directly gave up the option of replenishing cavalry.

As the king of land warfare, cavalry has extremely powerful impact, and once put on heavy armor, it is a flesh and blood tank.

Because of this, it has always been valued by major forces.

The cavalry, like the air cavalry, will be intercepted as soon as they have good goods.

Most of the mounts that flowed into the slave market were low-quality goods, or unsystematic individual arms.

It was far from the organized army he wanted.

As for the aquatic units...

Lauren asked many slave traders, but to no avail.

The endless wasteland is more than a thousand kilometers away from the sea, so it is extremely difficult to buy sea people, and there are very few large lakes in this land.

As a result, the number of troops in the Shui tribe was smaller than that of the cavalry, and there were three or five crooked melons and cracked dates, so he couldn't look down on them at all.

Kong has a dragon slaying skill, but he can't find the dragon to slay.

Lauren couldn't help but feel greatly moved.

It's really not as good as man's calculation... He reserved more than 8,000 soul power for the demon conversion skill, and wanted to buy some powerful units to convert.

But now I can't find a suitable conversion candidate.

Not reconciled, Lauren searched for a long time, but still found nothing.

It made him lose interest.

High-level, potential arms, most of them are expensive, and it is too difficult to miss them.

No one is an idiot. Most of the nobles have detailed information on which arms are strong and which arms are weak through hundreds of thousands of years of inheritance.

The only thing left is the tasteless unit like the big-eared monster, which no one cares about.

After losing interest in continuing to stroll here, Lauren was about to turn around.

"Robert, take me to the area where Warcraft is sold..."

Near the endless wasteland, the number of monsters is not necessarily less than that of alien races such as orcs, lizardmen, or dungeon races.

It's just that in most cases, the difficulty of catching Warcraft is much higher than that of other races.

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing that Lauren only bought a few hundred big-eared monsters in the morning, Robert was also a little ashamed.

Yesterday I bought a bunch of disabled human beings, and today I bought hundreds of these low-level arms......

His guide is really unqualified.

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out behind my back, and I hurried to the front to lead the way.

After going around for more than ten minutes, around a corner, a beast-specific smell suddenly appeared in the air.

Unicorn, Thunder Lizard, Wind Wolf, Lava Rabbit, Three-headed Dog...

All kinds of strange monsters are imprisoned in cages.

Lauren's eyes lit up, and finally there was something that could arouse his interest.

"Master Luo Lun, the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce has the most complete variety of monsters, just ahead..."

Lauren nodded slightly. Last time the barbarian also bought it from the Black Feather Merchant Guild.

As the largest chamber of commerce in Dekker City, the opponent's power cannot but be said to be weak.

But just as he was about to go to the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, he suddenly saw something in a shop by the side of the road from the corner of his eye.

There was a pause.

When Robert saw Lauren stop, he hurried forward and followed Lauren's gaze.

I saw huge yellow and black bees imprisoned in more than a dozen iron cages.

These bees are more than one meter long, and their streamlined bodies are very powerful and beautiful.

The black wings spread more than two meters, which is huge for an insect like a bee.

The black tail needles on the opponent's tail were thirty centimeters long, shining like a razor-like cold light, even a warrior's armor could be easily pierced.

This giant bee seems to be a prehistoric life, and a simple look at it can give people great stress.

"Robert, do you know where those bees came from?"

"Bee?" Robert shook his head, "Master Lauren, that is a special unit of the dungeon tribe... the black thorn hornet."

"Their tail needles contain highly poisonous poison, and rubbing them on the blade or arrow can greatly increase the lethality."

Lauren nodded thoughtfully, "Can they...can ride?"

Robert's face froze.

"Master Lauren, those are the soldiers of the dungeon clan. They only have killing desires, and they cannot be tamed!"

Lauren turned his head, looked at Robert, and said word by word.

"I ask you, can they... ride?"

Robert froze for a moment, then hesitated.

The black sting hornet can carry the weight of three adults. Except for its small size, it is very strong in other aspects. "

Can it carry three adults?

Lauren's eyes lit up.
