What's this?

Looking at the horrible monster in front of him that seemed to appear only in nightmares, the sheriff had no idea what to do. His right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, but he had no way to pull out his weapon.

“——!!”

The hydralisk let out a sharp roar at the sheriff in front of it, and the sheriff stumbled back. Only then did he find with surprise that on the purple land, a large group of hideous and terrifying monsters were gathering and approaching him and others.

Damn! Are these guys Chaos Beasts? No, they don't look like Chaos Beasts.

“——!”

Just as the sheriff was in doubt, the hydralisk roared again at the human in front of it, and waved its claws. In this way, anyone who was not a fool could understand what it meant - it was obvious that this land belonged to these terrible monsters, and they were expelling these rash invaders...

"Leave here immediately!!"

The sheriff was obviously not a fool, nor was he blind. Looking at the hundreds of Zerg on the opposite land, he knew that even if he rushed forward, he would only end up annihilated. So he decisively issued an order and then quickly retreated. The Zerg stared coldly at these uninvited guests, and only returned to the Zerg territory after they disappeared on the other side of the hillside.

"Huh...what the hell is that monster?"

Only after leaving the "unexplored land" did the sheriff reach out and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He had never expected that he would encounter such terrible monsters... They looked just like the devils in hell! Damn it, why is this place occupied by a group of monsters? What's wrong with these bastards?

but……

Thinking of the monster's last warning to him, the sheriff frowned in confusion and began to think.

Although those monsters looked like Chaos Monsters, the sheriff knew very well that Chaos Monsters had no rationality at all. If it was a Chaos Monster, it would probably swallow him up in one gulp. But the other party seemed to be threatening and warning... Could it be that those monsters were not Chaos Monsters?

"grown ups!"

Just as the sheriff was thinking hard, a voice rang out. Hearing this voice, the sheriff was immediately alert. He turned his head and looked towards the place where the voice came from. Soon a thief appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

"You're back? How was it? Did you gain anything?"

"That's all I got."

Hearing the sheriff's question, the thief shook his head and then picked up a thick, purple thing that looked like some kind of gelatinous substance. The sheriff was stunned when he saw this thing.

"What's this?"

"This is something that covers that undeveloped land. I don't know what it is, but it covers almost the entire undeveloped land..."

“…”

Taking the strange gelatinous substance from the thief, the sheriff observed it carefully for a moment, but of course he couldn't see anything.

"Let's go back and report this to the Lord!"

It is impossible to eliminate those strange monsters with just a few people, so the sheriff quickly decided to go back home. As for what to do next... let's wait for the lord to decide.

Just when several families including the Sword and Iron Shield families returned empty-handed from their attempts to explore new territories, Fang Zheng also received intelligence about the Fire Kingdom from his Zerg subordinates.

"I didn't expect them to be so quick..."

According to the intelligence Fang Zheng obtained from the Zerg, a total of six or seven families tried to rush into the Zerg territory, but were all blocked. These people were obviously very self-aware, and after the Zerg showed their intention to expel them, they turned around and left without saying a word.

Well... although these guys seem to be very sensible, Fang Zheng doesn't really think they will give up. The reason is simple, because before leaving, these families all sent people to take a few pieces back from the fungal blanket when the Zerg were not paying attention.

Of course, it was impossible for the swarm of insects to be completely unaware of these humans' actions, but they did not do anything about it. After all, the bait is used to make fish bite the hook.

And then... just wait patiently.

Fang Zheng believed that those guys would not let him down.

And it turned out that Fang Zheng's guess was correct.

A few days later, when the sheriff returned to this "undeveloped land" again, he was no longer followed by hundreds of people. On the contrary, this time, there were more than a thousand soldiers who followed him to the "undeveloped land"! Among them, there were even mages and knights!

Not only that, if you look closely, you can find that in addition to the flag of the sharp sword, this team also has flags of the eagle and the iron shield!

The three families joined forces to conquer the "unexplored land"!

This kind of behavior is unprecedented!

Looking at the soldiers behind him, the sheriff was extremely nervous and excited. He gripped the reins tightly and recalled what had happened before.

When he and his men returned empty-handed at first, the lord scolded him. If the sheriff had not brought back the "specialties" from the "undeveloped land" in the end, his position as sheriff would probably have been replaced.

A few days after obtaining the strange substance, the sheriff found that his lord began to mobilize the army and sent envoys to contact other families in the surrounding area. Eventually, they formed an alliance with the Iron Shield Family and the Eagle Family and decided to jointly develop the land. It was not until this time that the sheriff finally learned the whole story from others.

It turns out that the core of all this lies in that strange substance!

According to the investigation of the strange substance by the alchemists under the lord, they were surprised to find that the strange substance had a very rich nutritional value after being ground. It could not only stimulate the growth of crops, but also shorten their growth period! Not only that, after experiments, the alchemists also found that this substance could turn the originally barren desert sand into fertile wilderness again! !

After learning all this, even though the sheriff was just a small-time figure, he understood what it meant!

Fertile land! Food! Everything!

The Western Continent is vast and sparsely populated, but since most of the land is desert and sand, it is difficult to grow crops. This also means that the Fire Nation often has to purchase food from other countries. Even in some years of famine, food rationing is implemented! Once they can get this material that can transform deserts into fertile fields, then... the entire Fire Nation will undergo earth-shaking changes!

And they will also enjoy endless wealth and glory!!

Because of this, the lord gave up his original petty calculations and even went so far as to bring in the other two families in order to take over the land in one fell swoop - of course, the most important thing was to destroy the monsters that lived on his land!

Yes, in their view, this land obviously belongs to humans.

Soon, the army consisting of thousands of soldiers from three territories came to the edge of the "undeveloped land" again. However, unlike before, this time the ugly monsters seemed to have already noticed their presence and were watching these unwelcome guests who had returned from the edge of the territory.

But this time the sheriff was not frightened. Are you kidding me? He is a human being with thousands of fully armed soldiers behind him. How could he be afraid of these monsters? I was frightened by you last time, but this time, I will let you have a taste of human power! !

“Wu…wuwu…!!”

At the same time, the sound of a charge horn sounded from the army. Hearing the horn, the sheriff drew the long sword at his waist, pointed it forward, and shouted.

"For the Lord——Charge!!"

With shouts, the soldiers rushed forward, weapons raised high, and rushed into this strange and unknown land to them.
