Lear was in quite a good mood.

Previously, he had led a team to hunt down the rotting beastmen who were covered in large welts from the stings.

After the battle, during the interrogation, the opponents, like shifting the blame, informed him about the mire queen bee.

At that time, he was curious about how dozens of rotting beastmen dared to mess with hundreds of thousands of mire wasps.

After the intelligence system provided detailed information, he understood the reason and obtained a solution to deal with the mire wasps.

Their plan to use someone else to do the dirty work failed completely.

I wonder if they knew that the information they provided not only didn't harm him but might make him stronger, would they turn into ghosts just to fight him...

Soon, Bain brought out the last remaining earth dragon dung from the warehouse.

The over one thousand kilometer journey relied entirely on the earth dragon dung, and now there's less than two pounds left.

Mixing earth dragon dung with black dragon broadleaf grass significantly enhances the effect... He didn't have earth dragon dung, but he had the superior giant dragon dung!

Lear looked at the large bags of black dragon broadleaf grass and asked Bain to try lighting some.

Bain had someone bring in a fire stone and some reed fluff for kindling.

Then he grabbed a large handful of freshly picked grass, cua~cua~struck the fire stone a few times, sparks flew, directly igniting the reed fluff, the flame suddenly surged.

A small amount of black dragon broadleaf grass was placed on top.

Surprisingly, the freshly picked black dragon broadleaf grass caught fire easily.

But it was very moist, burning insufficiently and releasing a lot of thick smoke.

Just a small handful made the surrounding air murky, and visibility was reduced.

Seeing this, Lear, quite intrigued, picked up a small piece of dry and flavorless giant dragon dung, resembling dry mud.

He stepped forward, gently rubbed it, and the residue fell onto the burning black dragon broadleaf grass.

The next moment, thicker smoke rose.

A faint dragon's might surged, spreading over a range of several hundred meters.

The working crowd inexplicably felt a bit frightened, like being watched by some ferocious beast.

They hurriedly turned their heads toward this direction.

Lear could clearly feel that the energy contained in the thick smoke had become particularly abundant.

The combination of giant dragon dung and black dragon broadleaf grass produced a wondrous reaction.

While pondering, he waved his hand to have a swamp wild chicken caught a few days ago brought to him, killed it, and soaked the fresh blood on the giant dragon dung.

Then threw it in again.

But the effect was no different; instead, the blood reduced the burning, and the dragon's might dissipated a lot.

"Seems like there's no need for anything extra, we can try the smoke method now!"

Lear was quite excited.

This reminded him of his childhood joy of smoking wasps at his grandmother's place.

A childhood without a wasp sting is incomplete.

The fantasy version of smoking wasps intrigued him even more.

The only difference is, before the failure resulted in a swollen face, like a pig's head; now... it could be deadly.

To be on the safe side, he instructed Bain to gather all available black dragon broadleaf grass.

The area wasn't far from the territory and was sorted quickly.

In the end, they packed a total of 15 full cloth bags.

After finishing preparations, ending the half-day break, he summoned 9 teams of wetland lizardmen, taking along 8 bubble beasts and 3 swamp boggarts, and set off immediately.

After several battles, he increasingly found this setup to be effective.

The swamp boggarts could lure enemies, while wetland lizardman warriors handled frontal assault.

The most versatile are the adorable bubble beasts.

These little fellows can fight upfront, ambush, imprison, and even carry goods... they're total utility tools.

He initially planned to have the bubble beasts assist with territory construction, but after several battles, he found their bubbles to be extremely useful.

They became more and more handy, and now he simply lets them join the troops.

The army gathered and set off immediately.

The mire wasps' location wasn't far from Weilu City, a journey of just over an hour.

The route had already been cleared several times.

The advance was swift.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Lear once again reached the mire wasps' location.

Standing hundreds of meters away, he could see the towering giant tree, rooted deep in the swamp, standing seventy to eighty meters tall.

The mire wasps had constructed a massive nest using mud and wood chips, enclosing the entire canopies tens of meters wide.

It resembled a small wasp city.

Countless giant mire wasps fluttered their wings in flight, their buzzing resonating from afar.

The black and yellow striped patterns on their bodies made them highly noticeable.

They had two pairs of thin wings, with a wingspan of over 30 centimeters, and bodies the size of fists.

Their tails had stingers sharp as steel needles, slightly curved, reflecting a cold gleam.

Their compound eyes rotated back and forth, reflecting everything around, with mouths full of tiny teeth, capable of easily gnawing bones.

They appeared as enlarged, evil wasps.

The most critical aspect was their numbers.

So densely packed, layer upon layer, impossible to count.

The black tide formed by them obscured the sunlight.

One could not imagine the extent of destruction they could cause if the mire wasps attacked simultaneously.

"Sovereign, the windward side is over there... I'll go ignite the smoke."

Haggs volunteered.

Lear glanced at this Wetland Lizard-man Hero and shook his head.

"Mire Wasps are not ordinary monsters. If they sense something wrong, they can immediately flap their wings and leave."

Forcing it won't work, even with Black Dragon Broad-leaf Grass.

"And who said someone has to go release smoke?"

"Then..."

Haggs couldn't quite grasp the idea.

Lear smiled, his gaze shifting to Bubble Beast.

"Bob, each of you create two bubbles, compress the air, then ignite the Black Dragon Broad-leaf Grass and Giant Dragon Dung inside."

"Wait until the smoke accumulates to a certain level... control the bubbles near the Mire Wasps' nest and detonate the bubbles!"

Haggs' eyes immediately lit up.

Can it actually be done this way?!

Bob enthusiastically agreed and, with his companions, began blowing bubble after bubble.

Then they used Magic Power to crazily compress the air.

Meanwhile, they placed Black Dragon Broad-leaf Grass and Giant Dragon Dung inside.

The Giant Dragon Dung was distributed into 16 bubbles, and after igniting the Black Dragon Broad-leaf Grass with Fire Stones,

suddenly there was a huge mass of thick smoke inside.

Directly filling the bubbles.

If it were ordinary bubbles, they'd extinguish in an instant.

But with compressed air, it burned long enough.

After waiting for about ten minutes, once the smoke had been pressed to the limit, Lear waved his hand.

"You all control the bubbles to fly below the Mire Wasps' nest."

"Let 4 bubbles burst directly, filling the surroundings with smoke."

"The remaining 12 bubbles, open a slit and continue to release smoke..."

The Bubble Beasts immediately started to work.

After adding in all the Black Dragon Broad-leaf Grass, the 16 bubbles flew silently along the ground.

To prevent unexpected events, Lear ordered the Wetland Lizard-men to retreat 200 meters.

Leaving only him and the Bubble Beasts in this area for control.

To be on the safe side, each Bubble Beast blew another bubble to wrap themselves inside.

Lear stood with Bob.

In this way, even if something unexpected happened, they could use the bubbles for protection.

Both offensive and defensive, the Bubble Beast, really gets better with use.

Bubbles silently approached the Mire Wasps' old nest from the ground.

At a hundred meters distance, they were instantly detected by the vigilant Mire Wasps.

Bzzz bzzz bzzz~

Their wings buzzed, releasing a signal of enemy detection.

This was like poking a hornet's nest.

Wasps swarming covered half the sky.

Forming a black tide in the sky.

Seeing this, the Bubble Beasts became anxious, no longer cared about hiding, and directly accelerated the bubbles' flight speed.

Facing the frenzy of Mire Wasps, they quickly approached the nest.

In just a few breaths, the bubbles were crawling with countless Mire Wasps.

Layer upon layer.

Their stingers frantically pierced into the bubbles, trying to stop them from advancing.

But the bubbles were like rubber, capable of being pierced but not bursting.

The Bubble Beasts were sweating profusely, their Magic Power consumption was shockingly fast.

Finally, the bubbles forced their way to the bottom of the Mire Wasps' nest.

Lear decisively commanded.

"Detonate!"

Crack~

Four bubbles, three meters in diameter, surrounded by Mire Wasps, suddenly exploded.

Bang~ A powerful airwave rushed outwards, and thick smoke spread quickly, enveloping everything around.

The breaking of the four bubbles released the smoke that had been suppressed for ten minutes at once.

Rising from the earth surface, covering the entire wasp nest.

The remaining 12 bubbles didn't burst, but their tops opened slits, spewing nearly solid smoke like furnaces.

The scene was particularly magnificent.

The frenzied Mire Wasps around stiffened, their wing-flapping slowing drastically.

Followed by frightened insect cries.

Bodies dropping like hail... crazily falling to the ground.

The dark swarm of insects was swept away in just a few breaths!

Lear's eyes lit up with irrepressible excitement.

Success!!
