On the morning of the 20th, Lear got up and sent someone to retrieve the golden rose.

Other pieces of intelligence couldn't be completed so easily.

Once the garden had a splash of color, he summoned Isa to arrange for some Dark Night Elves to guard the underground tunnel exit.

After the Holy Song Clan received the attention of the Dark Night Elf God, their power surged, and it wouldn't be long before they appeared on the earth's surface again.

He currently hasn't put much energy into the underground, so he can only remain on high alert.

The intelligence didn't provide a specific time for their surface intrusion, but after losing a thousand troops, they likely won't set foot here again anytime soon.

If it were him, he would also be vigilant, first sending scouts to ascertain the situation before making a decision.

To thrive in such a perilous underground environment, a little caution is essential.

However, just in case, precautions are still necessary on this side.

A squadron of Dark Night Elves will suffice.

To be cautious, Lear had them take over a hundred Crimson Wasps, to relay information at critical moments.

After this arrangement, Lear immediately thought of the Holy Song Clan's Dark Night Elves captured a few days ago.

This accounts for more than five squadrons!

If they are all enslaved, Weilu City's ranged forces would immediately take shape.

One hundred people compared to six or seven hundred is a completely different concept.

With authority, the soul's strength is beyond comparison, enslaving hundreds is a breeze.

Knowing Lear's stance, Isa was very excited.

Her heart was filled with anticipation.

The expansion in the number of Dark Night Elves means they will gradually become a significant force in Weilu City.

This development provides substantial benefits to the Dark Night Elves' status.

After Lear brought out all the captives, he was disinterested in preaching and activated his Divine Format, unleashing the overwhelming power within him.

With the most domineering attitude, he devoured the Dark Night Elves before him.

He forcibly penetrated their soul defenses, imprinting indelible marks on their souls.

In a moment, he converted these 560 captives into his subordinates!

The hatred in their eyes vanished without a trace, replaced by a gaze of closeness and reverence.

Lear ordered their restraints removed while he looked at Isa.

"These Dark Night Elves will be under your command for the time being, teach them the rules of Weilu City today."

"Also, the Blacksmith Shop's longbows should be ready by the end of the month, then everyone can switch to new weapons."

"Later, I'll have Bulin design new armor for the Dark Night Elves to adapt to future battles."

Isa took a deep breath and respectfully placed her hand on her chest.

"Your will is above all!"

She also felt some emotion; as the number increased, the importance shifted immediately.

This is not about vying for power but is a basic guarantee—weaponry, armor, even housing, and food supply.

With fewer numbers, the Dark Night Elves couldn't be prioritized.

Lear was very optimistic about the Dark Night Elves.

Previously, due to their limited numbers, they didn't make much noise in several battles.

But in his observation, he could clearly see the potential of these archers.

Precise and elegant, fierce and deadly.

Once the number rises and the equipment is upgraded, they must not be underestimated.

Now, with the number increased to 7 squadrons, it already counts as a complete legion.

Even against tough battles, they can be deployed as the main force.

As the territory expands, all aspects of strength must be supplemented.

Relying on a single type of soldier, encountering a counter unit could easily lead to a setback.

Thinking of this, Lear began to ponder carefully.

Currently, his army consists of several components.

First, the Cold-blooded Cavalry, these heavy cavalry clad in heavy armor, are the main force for siege battles.

With 7 squadrons, level 11, they are legendary soldiers among the Lizard-men, performing exceptionally well in battle.

Their real combat strength far exceeds level 11.

Moreover, they have vast future potential; as long as more Wetland Lizard-men can be acquired, more troops can be generated endlessly.

Next are the auxiliary troops of the Desolate Tomb—the Deserted Tomb Guards.

Their number reaches up to 2000 and their level is as high as 14.

They also have the ability to resurrect, currently being the strongest force in Weilu City.

The only limitation is that the Desolate Tomb cannot leave the Land of Crimson Rot for long, at most 3 days before returning, diminishing its strategic value.

This is a mandatory requirement from the Land of Crimson Rot's Guardian.

Additionally, the quantity of Deserted Tomb Guards has reached its limit, and there won't be any increase going forward.

Despite these limitations, the strength of the Deserted Tomb Guards still makes one tremble.

Third, the Crimson Wasps, led by the level 12 Queen Bee, with a number exceeding 30,000.

All levels reaching 10, they are standard high attack, low health assassins.

Moreover, the Crimson Wasps can self-destruct, dealing extremely high damage.

Losses can be replenished through hatching by the Queen Bee.

Although not as ferocious as the Deserted Tomb Guards, they are still an important strategic force.

Their limitations are the same as the Deserted Tomb Guards, unfortunately, the Crimson Queen Bee is already at full level, limiting the potential of this legion.

Fourth, the Ancient Tree Guardians, numbering 50, and level 12.

Though neither their level nor number is outstanding, their size and combat style determine their strategic positioning—defensive turrets.

Moreover, they are turrets with unlimited ammunition.

They are Weilu City's last defensive force.

In the future, more Treants will enable continuous production, which is encouraging.
