The entire outpost was blown up and destroyed very thoroughly. All buildings were structurally damaged, and underground pipelines completely lost their function. The human empire was experienced in this kind of matter. The large amount of special potions sprinkled destroyed the environment around the outpost, all plants died, and even insects disappeared completely.

Watson is a dark human with a long figure. Like Brushmeseth and Li Wenxiang, the Spider Demon Lord, who died before, he is also the kind of dark noble who has no family background and relies entirely on himself to fight step by step from the lowest level of the dark world. The title of the earl itself is a recognition of Watson's ability. Watson's title ceremony is very formal, and it was favored by a marquis. Because of his courage to kill and do, it was natural that he was promoted to the current earl from the knight.

A large number of dark warriors were released and alerted within a radius of several kilometers. Dozens of dark knights surrounded Watson and walked slowly in a devastated outpost.

Blood and silence are everywhere.

It is no longer possible to distinguish the true appearance of the corpse. Every dead person was cut into pieces, and the blood had been absorbed by the soil and turned into a substance that solidified on the surface of the soil and was like dry silt. The effect of special agents was very obvious. All the meat pieces turned into mucus, and the broken bones were thrown everywhere. The sky was covered with dense black and gray flying insects. The effect of material decay has ended and the toxicity has been greatly reduced. Although there is not much left, it is still an extremely rich meal for them.

Earl Watson put his hands in his pants pockets, and seemed to be walking leisurely on the ruins. He rejected the suggestion of his confidant Knights accompanying him all the way, walked into the outpost alone, staring at everything he could see with his gloomy and cold eyes.

The outpost I remember is a place with ordinary defense capabilities but complete functions. Whether it is the human empire or the dark world, the key to determining the outcome of the battle is often not the number of participants or the number of weapons and equipment. Logistics is a topic and main reason that no one can ignore. The reason why Count Watson was favored by high-level dark nobles is also because he focused on the aspects ignored by dark creatures, and did a particularly outstanding job in material transfer, reserve, and distribution. Count Watson has always believed that the soldiers under his command must be given full, so that they can have enough strength to go to the battlefield and get more benefits.

The hot sunlight shone straight from the sky, and Earl Watson's face was completely shrouded in shadow. Although it did not say a word and had easy steps, those who knew it knew it were very clear: this meant that the Earl's heart was filled with rage and could erupt like a volcano at any time.

The living farm is an important facility first established by the outpost. Its basic structure includes a frozen sprite library and the production of the first living human uterus. These two things cost a lot of money. Usually, only the nobles with a long family can be purchased. Watson is just an emerging dark nobleman with limited financial resources and resources. It can only settle for the second best, and at its high price, it purchased thirty female human slaves from the Dark World slave market. Then, it ordered its subordinates to lead the battle squad, killing in neighboring areas, bringing back more than a dozen strong men.

This is not a practice, it is just the most beautiful idea.

To be precise, this is just a plan formulated by Earl Watson five years ago. The beautiful and powerful female slaves are expensive. With Watson's financial resources, at most, less than ten people are purchased. The plunder and capture of human men is not as simple as imagined. It took Watson several years to barely establish a complete food production system. The number of female slaves reached 52, and the food supply reached its expected stability and sustainability.

In the dark world, it is extremely difficult to expand wealth. Even when doing business, you must have rich capital. Aristocratic families firmly control various resources. New nobles like Watson will become embarrassing and difficult to truly make a name for themselves. There are only two powerful ways. First, take the initiative to join a ready-made aristocratic family and act as a powerful hunting dog or a thug. In this way, you can add a surname to your name, but not so, you can become a family leader or be highly valued. You will always be an outsider, a speculator who wants to use the convenience of the family and be despised by others.

Another method is to go to the gray area between the two major forces and plunder the human empire.

Watson's outpost has been built for more than a year. It is not in the straight line between Konoha Town and the Dark World, but is closer to some small-scale human settlements to the west. Watson is very cunning. It knows that it is weak and cannot directly fight the human army like other Dark Earls who have the support of aristocratic families. Watson has always hidden his true strength. Every time he goes out to plunder, the leader will not exceed two knights. This level of battle usually does not attract the attention of the human army, and Watson has indeed gained benefits from it, capturing more than 600 human captives back and forth.

Except for a few strong and handsome men who were specially selected for breeding, all the other prisoners were sold by Watson in the slave market in the dark world.

Watson likes his current hunter-like life. It does not need to return to the dark world and bow to the marquis who gave his earl title. Both humans and dark creatures like freedom. Watson's biggest dream is to accumulate capital through this cruel and barbaric plunder, thereby creating his own family.

This is probably the common idea of ​​every dark creature, and it is really difficult to become a reality.

Looking at the half-wet soil under his feet, Watson had no expression on his face. After a few minutes, it turned around and hooked his finger at a trusted knight standing in the distance. The knight immediately ran over quickly and stood beside him with respect.

"Have you found it? Who did it?" Watson asked.

The Knight was not as tall as Watson, but his muscles were extremely strong, making Kongwu powerful. It kept lowering his head and replied in a low but clear enough voice: "We found some track marks left by human armored vehicles, with a total of five. Based on the width and depth of track, it can be roughly inferred that the number of attackers was no less than fifty. The damage of the flame burning showed that this weapon belonged to the Human Empire Legion, and most of the bone fragments were caused by chainsaw swords.

Earl Watson nodded, and a hint of fierceness appeared in his slender glasses: "In other words, the main legion of human beings is nearby. Did they destroy this place?"

The Dark Knight responded respectfully: "It is true. The problem is that we don't know how many of the opponents are. If all the attackers are members of the legion, then we... are probably not their opponents."

This is an obvious fact. Although Watson is an earl, he is not as powerful as he dares to fight head-on with the main legion of the Empire. Even if his opponent is just a legion tactical team, his overall combat power is far greater than the pitiful family fortune of Count Watson. Of course, if he takes off the power armor, it would be different. Watson can lead a large number of Dark Knights under his command to massacre all the damn legion soldiers. Unfortunately, this assumption has never been possible to become a reality. It is precisely because of the huge physical difference between humans and dark creatures that the emperor himself developed the power armor. The power of this weapon is far beyond imagination. With the perfect cooperation of the tacit understanding, even a dark marquis would never be willing to provoke the fierce and fearless human main legion on the battlefield.

The reason why this Dark Knight was not only obeyed the Count's orders, but also because he was smarter than other similar people and knew when to say what to say. For example, with Watson's ability, it was impossible to defeat the Legional Combat Force. The Dark Knight did not expose the problem, but cleverly extended the problem to the number of the opponent. It knew that the Count could understand the meaning of the words. Since even ten Legion warriors could not defeat them, then simply increased the number to fifty, one hundred, two hundred... Anyway, the result was the same.

Watson was not angry. It smiled calmly and said nothing.

The inner anger should not be seen by his subordinates. Otherwise, it means that he must launch a counterattack now. Doing that is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. What's more, he doesn't even know the opponent's position now.

Watson quickly made a decision.

"Issuing a convening order to gather all the combatants. Scouts will follow the traces. I want to see who is so bold to burn, kill, loot on my territory?"

When he said this, Watson's eyes were covered with a bright red. The Dark Knight of course understood his master's inner thoughts at this moment, so he added in a very timely manner: "This is an insult to your Lord Earl. We must take back the losses from those damn humans."

Watson's angry mood was a little bit of comforted by this sentence. It nodded in praise: "It's right, they have to pay the price, an extremely heavy price."

Su Hao didn't know that a group of followers with extremely strong revenge appeared behind him. Leaving the outpost of the dark creatures, the convoy began to turn and began to move towards the northeast, that is, the side of Konoha Town.

When Dai Xiaolou handed Su Hao the badge of the Legion Major to Su Hao, he said it very clearly: This is a very high position, a special rank comparable to a brigade general of the National Defense Forces. If it weren't for Coxson's special biological samples being spotted by the Imperial Academy and thus changing a large number of imperial contribution points, Su Hao would never have become a Legion Major. Generally speaking, he would have to endure at least five years in his original position, or even longer, and after hundreds of fierce and cruel battles, he could have become a team commander.

Things like "luck" do exist. However, while you get it, it often means more and greater responsibility.

On the power map of the "Iron Warriors" Legion, a small place in Konoha Town was added. It was designated as the source of the origin of the special zircon and was regarded as a defensive area that must be strictly paid attention to. Under this premise, Su Hao's responsibilities became particularly obvious. He had to expand the outer space of Konoha Town as much as possible and obtain a sufficiently spacious buffer zone. Because of this, Earl Watson's outpost was included in the attack range by Su Hao and must be cleared.

When the convoy entered Lartasen, it was almost noon.

This is a small settlement with a straight distance of more than hundreds of kilometers from Konoha Town. The area is not too large, equivalent to about one-third of Konoha Town. It also has bars and hotels, casinos and bakeries, small solar power plants and cement production workshops.

The population of Lartasen is about 4,000, which is not an accurate number, but changes with different seasons and periods. Summer is a hunting season that all hunters and mercenaries like. When they gather here in large numbers, prostitutes, women and merchants will appear. These people's noses are always very smart and can accurately smell the smell of money, just like flies are particularly sensitive to blood and stench, and the bustle is born.

Like all human settlements in the border areas, Lartasen also has its own armed forces. It was a mercenary force of about 300 people, affiliated with the mayor. Lartasen's construction, development and emergence were exactly the same as Konoha Town, because merchants were attracted by the profits of special properties in the border areas and wanted to reduce the cost consumption between the empire's domestic areas, so as to build their own small town here.

From the map, Lartasen is located just around the edge of the defense radius of Konoha Town. This is a very vague concept. The Legion headquarters did not issue specific indexes on the defense radius of Konoha Town, nor did it issue documents for specific combat areas. This is equivalent to the superior handing over a certain position to the army, requiring you to defend it, but there are no further detailed instructions. Finally, what should be done depends entirely on the commander's own judgment.

Lartasen's defense measures are very strict. The high walls and barbed wire fences have mines buried nearby, and the weapons on the warning towers are also heavy machine guns and integrated machine guns. This shows that the guards have enough ability to block foreign enemies and protect their homes.

The arrival of Su Hao's convoy caused a sensation in Lartasen. Not everyone has the opportunity to get close to the army warriors. Their equipment is extremely mysterious, and various stories about the battle are widely circulated among the people. The mayor is an elderly man who has long handed over caravan operations to his son. He invited Su Hao and others to drink together, and was amazed at the changes in Konoha Town. The reason why Su Hao chose Lartasen to return to Konoha Town was for food supply considerations, and on the other hand, it was for the contact between residence points. He promised: If Lartasen was attacked by the Dark World, as long as he received a signal for help, he would lead the troops to come as fast as possible.

The next day at dawn, Su Hao's convoy left Lartasen.

It was an extremely time-consuming task to gather all the armed forces under his command from the dark world. Although Earl Watson repeatedly blew his beard and stared at him, the gathering of his troops still exceeded thirty hours.

Earl Watson knew very well that he was definitely not the opponent of a full Imperial Legion combat squad. But all the forces under his command were different. It had two Dark Jazz and more than fifty Dark Knights. There were more than three thousand Dark Warriors who could directly participate in the battle. This was almost the entire family of Earl Watson. From this, it can be seen that it was indeed difficult for the Dark Noble without the support of the aristocratic family to expand its power. You should know that if it was an aristocratic Earl, generally speaking, there were more than ten Dark Jazz under his command.

The traces left by the "Searcher" armored chariot driving through the ground were very clear. Under the guidance of scouts sent in advance, Earl Watson's Dark Legion arrived at the periphery of Lartasen on the fourth night.

The Dark Legion was not exposed. According to the Count's order, all the dark creatures stopped and waited for further orders in the wilderness more than two kilometers away from Laltasen.

Earl Watson stood on a higher mound, staring at Lartasen in the night from afar.

It was in a dilemma: according to the scout report, the human legion soldiers who destroyed their outposts left here a few days ago. The number of the opponents was indeed not as large as they imagined, and more than half of them were just servants with average combat effectiveness. Judging from the direction of the armored vehicles, their target was probably Konoha Town located in the border area of ​​the Human Empire.

To be fair, Earl Watson really wants to speed up and catch up with the guys who destroyed their base first. Individual combat is indeed no match for him, but there are as many as 3,000 dark warriors under his command, and he can use the human sea tactics to pile up those guys alive.

This is just the most perfect idea, and the key factor to success must be based on field battles. Once the opponent enters the human settlement and relies on fortifications to defend, the chance of winning or losing will be greatly reduced. Maybe, there is no hope of winning or losing.

Watson clenched his fists hard, his eyes filled with resentment.

It was not impatient. It just felt that if it was missing this opportunity, it would be difficult to find the same battle opportunity. The humans ran too fast. Although they also had vehicles on their side, not all the dark warriors were equipped. Earl Watson still had enough financial resources to do this for them. In addition, the consumption of food is also a plaguing problem.
