Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

Chapter 878: Chapter 370: Terrifying Backlash, One Month Later (Part 2)

In an instant, he felt countless resentful thoughts flooding into his mind.

Hundreds of thousands, millions!!

Backlash from the followers!

The moment this thought arose, he forcibly severed everything, attempting to escape.

But those faith nets seemed to come alive, suddenly turning and tightly enveloping him.

He unleashed all his power, yet was unable to tear through it.

Instead, the faith nets bound him like a zongzi, pulling him inward...

Unable to resist at all, he was directly dragged away, towards the convergence of the Power of Faith.

"No, no..."

The God of Flame and Rekindling’s inner terror at this moment surged to the extreme.

That bastard wasn’t in a breakthrough slumber? How could he possibly withstand the malicious erosion?!

And even backfire on him?!

Could it be the other side already knew about this, and this was an ambush on him?!

Upon realizing this possibility, endless despair arose.

He struggled fiercely again, hopeless to break free, he attempted to send a signal for help outwards... but, it was all in vain.

Everything within the faith nets was isolated.

Amidst his wails, the God of Flame and Rekindling completely vanished into silence.

Nobody knew this scene inside the faith nets, the outside world remained calm and unchanged.

Not even the Master of Dark Crows knew what had transpired.

Time flowed like water, and quietly reached August 30th, the last day of the month.

Lear was still in his slumber, not yet awakened.

But everything in the territory had already returned to its normal course.

The damaged city walls were restored, and a solemn and dignified ceremony was held for the fallen warriors.

The soldiers who fought valiantly received honor medals, watched with respect and envy by many.

The pain brought on by the war began to enter a recovery phase.

Time accelerated its pace, and on September 3rd, the City Hall listened to a report from the Crown Tribe, deciding to continue deploying personnel for mining.

This time, no efforts were spared; not only were five squads of Bubble Beasts deployed, but also a battalion of Ancient Treant Guardians.

The treant’s large machinery was even stronger and, due to their traits, mining was familiar to them.

Soon, scenes of treants swinging their roots and branches to mine filled the various mines in the Crown Plane.

As a result, a massive amount of ore was produced daily.

These resources were immediately sent through the Gate of Space to the Swamp Divine Kingdom, then transported back to Weilu City.

On September 7th, the Blacksmith Shop made a breakthrough in research on the reeds of the Submerged Reed Beds.

Using reeds as raw material, 4-star arrows named Shattering Sky Arrows could be produced.

The arrows were as fast as lightning, and the attack emitted a high-frequency noise inaudible to normal ears, causing soul damage to the enemy.

Each reed could produce three arrows, with very high utilization.

According to experiments at the Blacksmith Shop, harvested reeds regrow in just two days, fully meeting large-scale production needs.

As such, Shattering Sky Arrows entered a high-speed production phase, replenishing wartime losses.

In addition, the dew from the Submerged Reed Beds was a treasure collected daily.

This dew significantly enhanced physical abilities with remarkable effects.

Even Haggs, an 18-level Wetland Lizard-man Hero, saw considerable improvement.

Moreover, after settling overnight, dew would reconvene the next morning, eliminating any worry of inadequacy.

Furthermore, the highly resilient reed blades were used to produce and manufacture the 5-star weapon, the Meteor Bow.

After integrating reed blades, the bowstring became more elastic and resilient, with a notable increase in durability and power.

It’s like undergoing an extra round of enhancement.

Meanwhile, to satisfy production needs, the City Hall strengthened trade with the Holy Song Tribe, acquiring more Ancient Trees for forging Meteor Bows.

The Holy Song Clan seemed to be aware of the terrifying battle in the swamp, becoming increasingly respectful towards Weilu City.

The trade proceeded without any disturbance.

Dragon Blood Red Fish and the still-levelled 3-star Alchemy-Activated Armors were the most requested resources from the other side.

On September 10th.

After half a month of reconstruction, the damaged walls of Weilu City and Katana were completely restored.

The territory once again returned to a thriving scene, as if the great war had faded away.

The Long Thorn Mountain Range also embarked on a new round of mining exploration.

With the City Hall sending people to Rose City in the south, returning with a batch of prospectors, new veins were continually discovered.

For most forces, mining veins are an exhausting task that typically takes years or even decades to complete a whole vein.

However, for those possessing Bubble Beasts, Troglodytes, Ancient Treant Guardians, and other beings capable of high-intensity excavation and transport, mining was not seen as inefficient.

By concentrating forces, a small vein could be completely mined in half a month.

The Long Thorn Mountain Range entered a phase of intensive excavation.

On September 14th, a delicate human girl was discovered in the mist at the edge of the Mire Swamp by a patrolling army.

Upon confirming she posed no danger, the human girl was brought back to Weilu City.

This news quickly reached the City Hall, promptly attracting the high attention of Bain and a few other senior officials.

Especially Kalanis, a terrifying presence wielding the authority of slaughter and tyranny, with ancient god bloodline flowing within, discreetly observed the girl for a long time.

She then, with a serious expression, immediately issued an order for hourly reports on the human girl’s whereabouts, and to report immediately should she do anything out of the ordinary.

On September 17th, a month had passed since the war ended.

The territory had fully emerged from the shadows of war.

But at this moment, no sector relaxed, continuing to intensify production day and night.

The grueling war of twenty days made everyone realize one thing... Only a powerful territory could shield them!

If the warriors at the frontlines couldn’t withstand the enemy’s attacks, they would become corpses.

The external threat brought an unprecedented internal cohesion, leading to an all-time high production efficiency.

On that same day, the names of fallen soldiers from the war were inscribed in the Heroic Spirit Hall.

Furthermore, their brave deeds were imprinted with magic.

In the future, simply gazing at the memorial plaque would allow understanding of the war’s causes and effects, complete with magical images.

It was practically the fantasy version of a webpage...

This greatly boosted the warriors... Death was not the end, their names sung throughout the territory, their deeds praised by generations.

Who wouldn’t desire such a treatment?!

Each person was brimming with morale, eager to become the next sacrificial hero.

Even the ordinary residents felt that if their names could be inscribed in the Heroic Spirit Hall, they wouldn’t fear death.

The existence of the Heroic Spirit Hall served as a tremendous positive motivation for the territory.

On September 23rd, with the massive amount of mined resources, the Blacksmith Shop, Alchemy Workshop, and Arrow Production Shop began production at an extravagant pace.

Tremendous quantities of resources were produced each day, rapidly filling the once-empty warehouses.

In response to future changes, the military supplies production set no upper limits, operating in three shifts, 24/7, at full capacity.

The territory’s output became extraordinary.

Meanwhile, the Chaos Lizard’s altar finally welcomed its first batch of Enhancers.

Last month, due to insufficient blood energy, Haggs, the Wetland Lizard-man leader, hadn’t ordered any enhancements.

However, in September, new Three-tailed Pigs had matured for slaughter.

He immediately sent people to bring large quantities of these pigs near the altar.

As millions of pigs were devoured, a dense blood energy formed a blood mist enveloping the surroundings.

The altar’s color became vivid, as if fresh blood was flowing on it.

The first batch of five squads of Cold-blooded Cavalry arrived on their mounts, lining up at the top of the altar.

The altar could accommodate 30 Cold-blooded Cavalry for enhancement at the same time, with each session lasting about 10 minutes.

With six sessions per hour, accommodating 18 squads.

Daily, over four thousand could be enhanced.

In just one month, all Cold-blooded Cavalry could be enhanced.

After enhancement, while the Cold-blooded Cavalry’s appearance didn’t change much, their aura became more ferocious.

After absorbing sufficient blood energy, their attributes were on par with Level 18 units.

Given the current volatile situation, this strength was considerable, especially in Katana where power above Level 15 wasn’t allowed.

With the return of new Cold-blooded Cavalry to the Original Plane, that city, having endured a bloody war, became stable again.

If all tens of thousands of Cold-blooded Cavalry completed their enhancement, another battle with the Wild Pantheon would incur losses so minimal it would leave the enemy dumbfounded.
