An Yizhi remembered that the team of NPC adventurers who brought him to the Dead Swamp said that the time when the swamp changed was about a month ago, and the tree elf Ellie also said so, plus Hela found traces of human manipulation of the console a month ago, the time can be right, and the series of changes in the Swamp of the Dead caused by the hatching of the Worm King is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster.

But what is the purpose? Lizardmen?

Once the Worm King hatches and leads the swarm to rage, the first target is the lizardfolk living in the swamp of the dead.

The strength of the lizardmen is not very strong, and the important reason why they have become a big problem for the surrounding human towns is the surprise attack and the swampy terrain, if the lizardmen are allowed to fight human soldiers 1V1 on the flat ground, the lizardmen with only crude weapons will not be able to kill humans.

Using the swarm to drive them out of the swamp is indeed a way, and if you consider it along this line, the guy who makes small moves is Lopvin's people?

It's not quite right when you think about it.

Even if the lizardmen were to be driven out of the swamp and the looting of the trade routes would be solved once and for all, Hela said that even the lab's console could not fully control the Worm King, which was a big reason why the Elder Elves gave up on this place.

Where will the uncontrolled swarm attack after taking down the lizardmen?

Nature is a human town around the swamp of the dead.

As long as this method of injuring the enemy by 1,000 and inflicting 800 self-damage is not a hole in the brain, the Lopwen side will not use this method to solve the problem of the lizardmen.

As for the Dryads......

The group of people who were only a few thousand in size and only lived in the Vida Forest, and they only moved when they were full, so An Yizhi felt that the tree elves were just lying down guns.

Then another thought came to him, what if the goal of the petty man was to cause trouble in the towns around the Dead Man's Swamp, and then threaten Lopwen?

Along these lines, the person who did it should be the city-state of Sadmir, or someone who has a grudge against Lopwen.

It's just that......

It doesn't seem quite right.

According to Hela, the order given to the Bug King using the console was to stay where he was, grow the swarm, and finally attack any non-Zerg creatures outside the swamp indiscriminately.

In this way, the only ones who really do it are the swarms.

They are likely to destroy the towns around the Swamp of the Dead and send the populace into a panic, but it is impossible to capture the surrounding city of Kodo, let alone the main city of Lopwen, who can't even see the walls.

With Lopwen's strength, it doesn't take much time to sweep away these bugs.

Using the swarm as a way to contain the pace of Lopvin's aggression is not reliable, and it is better to take care of the two sons of the Lionheart, who have a much greater impact than the swarm.

Of course, if the troublemaker takes revenge purely with the idea of disgusting Lopvin, it will make sense, after all, people who are caught in revenge have no stakes, and they are simply self-satisfied.

Although the reason for revenge can be explained, An Yizhi has a hunch, and it feels that it is not so simple, but it is difficult to guess due to intelligence.

While Ann was pondering this, Hela looked at the information left by the ancient elves in the laboratory, which could enrich Nikolai's database in the future, and Ann was also interested in this kind of thing that was considered a game background, and chatted with Hela from time to time.

"Master, I've found a way to completely eliminate the insect king."

Hela's eyes were fixed on the screen, and she pointed with her wings to a square machine next to the console:

"That machine is specially used to supply various potions to the insect king, and it is connected to the insect king, and the ancient elves use it to inject various magic potions to mutate the tree cockroach and eventually become the insect king."

"So just pour the insecticide from the dryads and you're done?"

"Well, tree bores are insects that leave eggs when they die as adults, and the eggs are so strong that they are very difficult to break. But if the eggs die, it's really dead. ”

Who is the person who activated the insect king to make trouble, and what is the purpose, these can be thought about later, in essence, it has nothing to do with An Yizhi anyway, he pondered that this was just a matter of habit.

Finding the machine that Hela was talking about, Ann reached out and lifted the baffle above, revealing a metal funnel-shaped object, which was the inlet of the potion.

"Considering the physique of the insect king, it is better to use those three bottles more reliably."

Hela reminded him, and Ann pointed to indicate that he knew, and casually felt the insecticide given by the tree elf Ellie, and was about to unplug the bottle and put it in, when a thought suddenly occurred in his mind.

Perhaps..... this thing can be used by me?

Although he didn't know the purpose and thoughts of the person behind the troublemaker, it seemed that it would be very beneficial for him to go out and make trouble.

Don't forget, he's going to come to the aid of King Lionheart's two reckless sons, who are likely to be surrounded by Lopwen's elite forces recently.

However, if the news of the swarm attacking the towns around the Dead Swamp suddenly came during the battle, even if the morale of the army would not waver, in order for the generals to resolutely carry out the military orders, a new order would come from the rear for them to support.

Thinking of this, An Yizhi temporarily gave up the idea of killing the insect king now, turned his head and asked:

"Is there a function of timing the delivery of potions?"

"There should be, the mutation of the insect king requires a very precise potion effect, and even the ancient elves can't do these ..... by manpower."

Hela fiddled with the console a few times and confirmed:

"Well, there is, master, what do you want to do?"

An pinched his chin with one finger and counted the time:

"Set to deliver after 96 hours"

"No problem"

As for why it says 96 hours instead of 4 days.

"That's a bit of a push, isn't it?"

It's not the first day to follow Ann's finger, Hela has already seen through it.

Lopwen, Inner City, Council Hall –

Lopwen is a city similar to a constitutional monarchy, so that the power of the king can be dispersed to avoid the appearance of a mediocre king to the greatest extent, and the legal system is perfect enough, even if the city lord does nothing, he can still let the city move towards the right goal.

This council hall has become the center of power in the true sense of the word, and the city lord's mansion is nothing more than a mascot-like existence in comparison.

Since Julian's grandfather's generation, Lopwen's power has been almost completely divided between the parliamentary side, and although Julian nominally has the right to appoint anyone to remove him, no one actually listens to him.

Therefore, before he really showed his fangs, he never entered the council hall, because he knew that he was only going in to be an audience, watching the councillors tear each other apart to complete the final exchange of interests.

Instead of looking at this, it is better to go to the clubhouse in the city to chat with the young ladies, and it can also deepen the impression of his gentleman, so that the aristocracy thinks that he is a waste who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles.

But that's different now.

Julian had the majority of the nobles in his hands, and with the support of the temples of Tyre and Worgin, and the respect of the common people for his status as lord of the city, he was qualified to compete with the powerful in Parliament, even if he was still weak.

Holding the draft of the speech in his hand, Julian looked at his left hand, which was a little trembling, and said to himself with a smile:

"I'm still nervous."

Then press hard to keep yourself as calm as before.

The first step to reclaim power has already been taken, and now the second step is about to be taken.

Even though there is a long road ahead, Julian has chosen this domineering path, and he will continue to go on until he succeeds, or he dies!

The barbarian Thom was beside him, and he looked more nervous than Julian, but he was a big guy and three thick, and he was okay at cutting people, and his speech was not the right profession, so he could only do it in a hurry.

"Lord of the city, you're all ready."

The secretary whispered in Julian's ear.

And Julian's originally trembling hand stopped when he heard this.

This kind of person is similar to An Yizhi, even if he is nervous, he will force himself to calm down completely at a critical moment.

"Well, got it, let's go."

He nodded at Tom and motioned for me to go and go back.

The council hall was already full of people at this time, and today was just a regular meeting that took place every week, except for the relatively new thing with the participation of the city lord, but there was nothing else special.

Sitting in the front row, a group of gorgeously dressed guys, they are the real power of Lopwen, the union of the big nobles and the big businessmen.

Behind them, and the largest number of people, they were composed of representatives of the towns, towns, and small and medium-sized nobles.

These people only have the right to observe, not vote, and Julian only has these people. So whatever proposal he puts forward in parliament will be rejected in the end, and it will not be implemented.

But it doesn't matter......

During the walk, the lights shifted on Julian's face, and he smiled.

Of course, he knows whether the bill will pass, which is why he has never participated in the parliament even after he has gained a part of the right to speak. It's not necessary, it's a complete waste of time.

This time it's different, it doesn't matter whether it is passed or not, what matters is whether it is proposed by him and whether it is known to the public!

Standing on the podium, Julian propped up the slightly crooked microphone, he could see the fake masks on the faces of the big nobles in the front row, and he clearly knew how disdainful they were, and at the same time knew how much the big nobles had begun to encircle and suppress him, and how many undercurrents were hidden under the seemingly calm water.

It's not just him who understands.

One only has to look at the expressions of those who support Julian in the auditorium to see how serious the matter has become, and I am afraid that only the ordinary people of Lopwen still think that the leadership is harmonious, and their city is on the way to becoming an empire.

Someday, someday I'm going to make you all fall on your knees before me!

Julian also put on a flawless politician's face and opened his speech with a natural expression.

At the top of the manuscript was written 'Proposal for the Establishment of a New Army to Maintain Law and Order in the Territory'.

Julian's second step is to ......

Military!
