Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

Chapter 226: Chapter 121: Another Big Profit

“Sir, the three-tailed pigs have long struggled to survive, they can only produce more offspring to increase their survival rate.”

“The boars can mate with dozens of sows at a time, so over time, it has led to a larger number of females than males…”

“At most times, several litters might only produce one boar.”

“It’s already quite an improvement; it must be the better environment here that has increased the number of boars.”

Wow, is there such a saying?

Indeed, different environments require different assumptions than usual.

Nonetheless, with 230 sows, given the current efficiency of birthing.

The next cycle could yield 3,000 heads.

If the male-to-female ratio persists, another cycle could see the numbers surge into tens of thousands.

Continuing like this would result in… hundreds of thousands.

In just half a year, the farm is bound to explode in population.

By then, there will be more pigs than people.

Thinking about this fantastic scene, Lear was in high spirits.

Need to increase manpower at the pig farm, should prepare in advance.

Otherwise, the next birthing round, with thousands of heads, temporary manpower won’t suffice, it would be overwhelming.

With the Horn of Fertility, the growth cycle of three-tailed pigs shortened to one and a half months.

Once the numbers increase, even feeding them daily becomes a massive task.

To maintain a large pig farm is no small difficulty.

“Once the three-tailed pigs reach their size limit, they can reproduce; sows recover within half a month after giving birth, ready for the next birthing cycle.”

The Two-headed Giant Chief was still educating Lear on the various traits of the three-tailed pigs.

It was quite enlightening for him.

If Earth had three-tailed pigs, pork prices would definitely drop to be cheaper than cabbage.

This creature grows at an unbelievable rate.

No wonder the Main Plane’s legends about Dimension Planes often relate to wealth.

It’s not just the usual wealth; biodiversity brings substantial riches as well.

As Lear pondered, as if he thought of something, he whispered a question.

“Aite, do all ogres in the Shattering Star Plane breed pigs?”

The Two-headed Giant Chief looked a bit proud.

“Naturally, the three-tailed pigs are our specialty!”

“Not knowing how to breed them would be laughed at.”

Resources in the Shattering Star Plane are extremely scarce, and three-tailed pigs are the only source of meat.

Incredibly precious, most ogres have to learn how to raise pigs from an early age.

The ability to raise pigs well even affects future mating and reproduction.

This is an important matter.

Lear’s eyes brightened.

That means the manpower problem at the pig farm can be solved!

“Once we pacify the Dark Naga, we’ll advance into the Shattering Star Plane.”

The Two-headed Giant Chief’s gaze immediately lit up.

A bit excited on his face.

“Yes, Master!”

That bastard who seized the throne, he surely wouldn’t have imagined that he’s still alive, right?

Even less so, he wouldn’t have imagined that he had been granted unparalleled power by the Master?!

Level 14, a rank he could only dream of, now achieved.

And so… incredibly powerful!

Feeling the mechanical limbs extending like arms from behind him, his eyes were filled with madness and fervor.

He is absolutely confident that even alone, returning to the Shattering Star Plane, he could reclaim his belongings and execute that damned rebel!

Lear also noticed the other’s excitement, patted his shoulder, but said no more.

Once the Cold-blooded Cavalry is fully armed, the troops can be dispatched.

He’s been waiting for this day for a long time.

After clearing out the Dark Naga, next is to control the Swamp Divine Format and hunt dragons.

Step by step.

Calming himself, as he watched the busy pigpen, Lear didn’t linger, and returned to the territory with the group.

After sending Bain off to work, he looked at the sky, and began assembling the army.

There’s one piece of intelligence refreshed on September 15th still incomplete—

The herd of Swamp Giant Horned Deer will stay 25 kilometers southeast of the territory for half a month, foraging for fragrant mushrooms that only grow in September yearly, consuming them will cause hallucinations, and they will sleep for half an hour at dusk.

Intelligence value—3 Stars.

Swamp Giant Horned Deer!

He’s been eyeing these creatures for a long time.

Delaying ten days in the relic, the half-month deadline is fast approaching.

Must rush to capture those Swamp Giant Horned Deer first.

He encountered swamp giant horned deer twice in the swamp, but due to his lack of strength, he could only watch them drool.

Especially the 4-star Swamp Giant-Horned Deer King, which looked much like the elf king’s mount in the movie The Lord of the Rings.

Moreover, its beauty was even beyond that.

The wetland lizard-men still had their fierce wild lizards to ride.

Now, he could only ride a unicorn, but these ordinary creatures were of little use in battle.

As the master of Rivloor City, he needed a mount that matched him.

He had no choice before, but now… he should be able to collect them all.

Lear was in high spirits.

Level 15 Great Demons, a two-headed ogre chieftain, a flesh butcher, Haggs, along with swamp boggarts, bubble beasts, and 5 squadrons of cold-blooded cavalry.

After gathering the army, he didn’t linger and headed out directly.

Great Demons flew in the sky.

These evil creatures with dark red flesh wings replaced the crimson wasps, becoming his eyes in the sky.

The speed of advancement was quick, covering the 25-kilometer distance in just over two hours.

The swamp had already been cleared multiple times, and a few stragglers couldn’t hinder the army.

Upon reaching a wide muddy area, the Great Demons in the sky sent accurate information back to Lear.

A herd of deer was discovered two kilometers ahead.

Lear immediately perked up.

He glanced at the setting sun and refrained from acting rashly.

With a wave, he had the adorable bubble beast beside him take him into the sky, where he observed personally.

At the edge of his vision, a herd of deer with massive curved antlers caught his eye.

Their antlers were full of branches, making them look mighty, with mottled moss growing on them, adding extra color.

The markings on their bodies resembled blooming plum blossoms, striking and prominent.

In nature, most animals’ colors either blend with the environment, making it easier to hide from predators,

or are particularly vivid, to display their indomitability to hidden foes.

A rough estimate put the herd at over 300.

They remained very active and vigilant at this moment.

If attacked head-on, many would likely scatter.

His gaze swept around and found the particularly mighty Swamp Giant-Horned Deer King in the center.

Upon spotting it, he clearly felt its physique had become even more robust.

He opened the attribute panel and was surprised to see that it had leveled up from Level 13 to Level 14!

Just one level to reach its full potential.

It was still getting stronger!

Such speed wasn’t slow.

But in an instant, his surprise turned to joy.

With 6 Level 15 Great Demons now, even at Level 15, it couldn’t cause trouble!

Shifting his gaze away from it, he noticed the area around the deer herd dotted with fist-sized red mushrooms.

They resembled small umbrellas spread out, covering a wide area.

Quite a few giant horned deer salivated over those mushrooms, wanting to eat but forcing themselves to resist.

The ground was soaked with their drool.

Lear’s eyes flickered.

So, these are the hallucinogenic delicious mushrooms?

After observing for a while, he instructed the bubble beast to fly slightly farther to avoid being spotted by the deer herd.

At the same time, he held his patience, waiting for the sunset.

This was the advantage of having intelligence support, allowing him to wait safely for the opponent to reveal a weakness.

Time slowly passed.

Finally, as the sun began to dip into the swamp, the sky was adorned with multicolored hues from the setting sun.

The deer herd finally couldn’t resist any longer. It was unclear which deer took the first bite, but they began chewing excitedly.

The long-restrained deer herd immediately began frantically devouring the surrounding red mushrooms.

They ate as if starved for weeks.

The mushrooms in the area were all cleaned up by the giant horned deer, not even sparing the roots.

They were clearly loved to a certain degree.

With no red mushrooms visible on the surface, the deer’s gaze turned dazed.

Soon, one by one, they lay down on the ground, directly falling asleep.

In the blink of an eye, the entire herd was asleep, except in the central zone, where the 4-star Swamp Giant-Horned Deer King still raised its head!

Success!

Lear’s eyes sharpened, a surge of intense excitement rising in his heart.

“Great Demons, Radina, hunt the Giant-Horned Deer King first, don’t let it escape!”

“The rest of the army, capture all the asleep giant horned deer and bring them back to Rivloor City!”
