Chapter 1098 - 597: Poison Swamp Melee

Almost all participating Lords brought their high-tier warriors from the bottom of their chests.

Therefore, the actual combat power of this team is not to be underestimated.

When they took the potion and entered the Poisonous Mist Swamp, they immediately attracted the attention of all the Lords around.

The Poisonous Mist Swamp has always been a mysterious dangerous area in the southern region.

In cases of lone or small team actions, the Lords dared not venture deeply into it.

But this situation is completely different from before, as the strength of over two hundred Lords banding together is absolutely not to be underestimated.

The power of the Lords banding together gradually began to manifest.

This is also why, even though Zong Shen’s strength is already so formidable, he still has to be careful to guard against the coveting of other Lords, especially the mine, which deeply concerns him.

If the mine were truly exposed and met with an attack of Lords banding together, it would be a considerable trouble for Zong Shen.

After all, a mine does not have hundreds of Defense Arrow Towers like a territory does, nor does it have partially intact miracles sitting in place.

Zong Shen’s territory has already formed a preliminary defense system.

From various tiers and types of Defense Arrow Towers to Sentry Towers with anti-stealth abilities, Magic Energy Patrol Dogs,

to the Red Gold Barrier Pillar (Golden) capable of erecting large-range shields, and the Thunder Domain Miracle (Incomplete) with large-scale lethal capabilities, forming a multi-faceted comprehensive defense posture.

He has also invested a lot of effort in constructing the Defense Buildings of the territory.

Therefore, he does not worry about Lords banding together to attack the territory.

Not to mention the Lords, even if the native forces wanted to attack his territory, they would have to weigh it carefully.

He cannot invest the same effort in the defense of the mine.

With the principle that blocking is worse than sparing, the best result would be to hide the mine well.

At least he needs to delay a few months, allowing him to develop.

Among them, Zong Shen worries the most about the issue of Lords banding together.

Currently, the Legion forces in the region are emerging like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Aside from several large Legions including the Guides Corps, most Legions are very small in scale.

With only a few or even a dozen people.

What can make Lords voluntarily band together, besides facing significant crises together, is only some huge benefits.

Once a mine in the region is exposed, it is evidently a factor of great attraction.

Zong Shen’s mine hasn’t been exposed yet, but instead, the southern Poison Swamp first unified the Lords.

These two hundred Lords plus thousand-eight-hundred warriors amount to around two thousand people.

However, in the end, it is only loose cooperation, lacking a commander and central support.

Unable to coordinate warriors of various kinds and tiers to form warrior squads or even platoons.

All Lords basically bring their own soldiers.

There are also a few small groups mixed in.

Generally, there are three to five people.

These people were known before.

Recent large-scale challenge activities not only mobilized the Lords’ enthusiasm.

They also promoted social activities between the Lords.

Most Lords have more or less met some "friends".

Such "friends" relationships may not be very strong, but they are enough to maintain shallow social connections.

Now the small groups in the team have extended from such shallow relationships.

The largest small group among them is composed of sixteen to seventeen Lords.

Leading is a middle-aged Lord of Asian descent with a scraggly beard.

He looks to be in his thirties, considered just brushing the standards of the first batch of Lords to arrive.

He holds high prestige within the small group.

The dozen or so Lords around him are almost all surrounding him.

Among them are both black and white people.

In the Endless Continent, different skin colors, different hair colors, different racial features become unimportant.

Especially in the case where all Lords have defaulted to mastering the Continent Common Language.

After the shackles of language are broken, Lords can communicate without obstacles.

Of course, besides language, there are differences in life habits, cultural traditions, etc., which can only be solved by time.

At this moment, this group is advancing toward the Poisonous Mist Swamp scattered over a width of 200 meters.

Aside from the chaotic sound of footsteps are all kinds of whispers.

Everyone was discussing privately.

Within this small group, a young Lord of African descent with thick lips couldn’t hold back first, walked to the scraggly-bearded Lord’s side, his hair showing natural curls, holding a curved saber with a length of 1.2 meters in his hand.

"Zhang, do you think there really is treasure in the swamp?"

"It wouldn’t be that the Summoner is deceiving us, right?"

"I spent many resources to buy the antitoxic potion."

"If there’s no treasure in the poison swamp, only those little Flame Demons won’t be enough for us to share."

"We are all here because of you."

The black Lord asked a bit worriedly in a low voice.

Only to see the scraggly-bearded Lord grinned, boldly reaching out to hug the black Lord’s shoulder.

"Relax Mudoto, old Zhang doesn’t lie."

"I’ve been observing the Poisonous Mist Swamp for a long time."

"A few days ago, I also ventured deep into it, besides the swamp, there are ruins and remnants here."

"However, there are also very powerful monsters inside."

The scraggly-bearded Lord whispered into his ear.

"Very powerful monsters?"

"Are they those large crocodiles?"

The black Lord, intrigued, asked urgently.

The scraggly-bearded Lord, claiming to be old Zhang, shook his head, his expression becoming a bit serious, and he gently shook his head.
