Chapter 240: Shadel takes the initiative? The plague of the horsefly tribe!
Baker Roland's tone was still extremely respectful, and he performed a standard wizard's salute to Zheng Cheng.
Zheng Cheng looked Baker Roland up and down. His wizard robe had not changed much at this moment, but his aura had become more steady and restrained.
A pair of eyes becoming more mature and confident.
The staff that was originally held in his hand disappeared, and was replaced by... a book!
"Beck, how do you feel?"
"Magic is power..."
He said respectfully: "My Lord, I have successfully transferred to a six-star hero profession... Magic Scholar!"
Zheng Cheng asked curiously: "Magic scholar? What abilities do you have?"
Baker smiled and explained: " According ... the magical world is vast and boundless. I will explore it up and down!"
"In front of magic, I am just a nobody who is just trying to learn."
"A magic scholar? I will search high and low for it?"
With a thought, Baker's attributes appeared before his eyes.

"hiss……"
Looking at Baker's specific attributes, Zheng Cheng took a deep breath.
He could guess that Baker would achieve great success, but he didn't expect it to be so great.
The first four so-called skills are actually knowledge that Baker has already mastered.
Advanced fire magic, advanced earth magic, alchemy, and potions.
The next two skills are the gifts you get after changing your job to a hero.
Summons an Infernal.
A pure summoning + attack magic, extremely powerful.
And the sixth skill...the Word of God!
This ability is the embodiment of the most important ability of a magic scholar.
You can gain answers and knowledge to current problems while practicing magical knowledge.
Isn't this an open book exam?
Just imagine, if Baker was studying a forbidden spell and couldn't find the answer after racking his brain, he would suddenly hear the answer given by the so-called word of God.
this……
Zheng Cheng's eyes began to change when he looked at Baker.
"My Lord."
Baker said respectfully: "No matter what, you are my master. I will never betray you in my life!"
"I trust you..."
"My lord," Baker said again, "We killed a Kanila Jaw Bee hero this time, as well as the bodies of several other beast bosses. Can you hand them over to me?"
"What do you want with their bodies?"
"The corpses of these strange beasts contain powerful life energy. I would like to try to refine their corpses into some alchemical tools."
Baker explained: "If we wanted to refine it before, we would have to mobilize a large number of magicians to study together, or even refine it in a dedicated magic tower."
"Now that I have become a hero, I have a strange feeling... I can refine alchemical tools by myself!"
Zheng Cheng nodded and said, "I'll leave it all to you!"
In the past half month, in addition to the Kanila Jaw Bee that he had just killed, Zheng Cheng also deliberately left behind the corpses of several alien beast bosses.
Or rather, parts of their bodies.
For example, the forelimbs of the Shura Mantis, the horn of the Thunder Dragon BOSS, the fangs of the Sandworm BOSS, and so on.
He had originally planned to take these things out of the secret realm, but he didn't expect to gain Baker's loyalty unexpectedly.
Moreover, he was transferred to a hero!
If there is a chance to enter Gasa Island in the future, doesn’t it mean that he will have an ever-improving logistics base?
"Thank you, my lord!"
Baker said respectfully, and retreated with great excitement.
Zheng Cheng looked into the distance: "Wait a little longer, the home crystal on the top of Black Tower Mountain..."
Late at night, when Zheng Cheng was resting, he suddenly sensed a figure approaching.
Her breathing was a little disordered, but very steady.
A rustling sound was heard.
"Sadele."
In the darkness, Zheng Cheng opened his eyes.
"You don't have to do this. I told you that I must get the home crystal. And I also promised you that I would not let the alien beasts enter the desolate world."
"My Lord... I did all this voluntarily. It has nothing to do with anything else..."
In the darkness, Sadelle's tender voice suddenly rang out.
"I like you. Do you remember what I said when we met? Conquer me..."
"You don't regret it?"
"I, Sadelle, will never regret it!"
Three days later!
Zheng Cheng's home has once again undergone tremendous changes.
In the main city, more than ten barracks and living buildings were built around the home crystal.
On the left side of the Home Crystal, the Pillar of Life stands tall, emitting a faint light.
On the right side is the reconnaissance guard construction base.
Griffin knights kept flying up and down, taking away the reconnaissance guards one by one and setting them up in the black fog in the distance.
Tall city walls surround the entire main city, with hundreds of arrow towers lined up on them.
Outside the city, there are still dense arrow towers and bunkers guarding the entire home.
At the entrance to the valley on the east, most of the remaining arrow towers and bunkers are concentrated, guarding the east gate of the home.
Continuing forward, in the thick black fog, one hundred and twenty reconnaissance guards were hiding behind boulders, on big trees, and in rivers, constantly monitoring the surroundings.
In terms of military strength, it has reached the maximum, and almost everyone is a soldier!
The strongest ones are the three heroes Baker Roland, Sadelle and Zhang San.
Next, there are 49 units of court magicians.
It is still led by Baker Roland, who serves as the head of the court magician group .
200 units of Sword and Shield Guards.
200 units of heavy armored cavalry.
These two major arms formed Zheng Cheng's guard regiment, with Sadelle as the leader.
400 units of Ground Dragon Riders.
Among them, Salon Knights are the least numerous, with only 50 units.
Silverback Iron Ankylosaur has the largest number, 200 units.
The rest are all 150 units of velociraptors.
These 400 ground dragon knights formed the Ground Dragon Knights, with Zhang San as the leader and Ma Lie as the deputy leader.
Next up is the Griffin Knight.
The 1,500 units of Griffin Knights are the largest in number among all the troops under Zheng Cheng, and are also the strongest main combat troops!
The entire Griffin Knights are divided into two regiments, and the leader of the first regiment is Yang Houer.
The commander of the second regiment was Li Youji.
The two of them led 750 griffin knights respectively to protect their homes.
The remaining 600-odd units were laborers, baggage soldiers and other living units.
These people are responsible for logistics, baggage, battlefield cleaning and other tasks. Although their number is small, their positions and tasks are very important.
Outside the hall, Baker walked in quickly.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
“My lord…My lord!”
In the room, Zheng Cheng sat upright, while Sadelle next to him had a slightly red face.
"Come in..."
Baker looked a little anxious, not daring to look in the direction of Shadel. He said to Zheng Cheng, "My lord! Our scout guards have discovered a new exotic beast in the northeast!"
"Oh?" Zheng Cheng still sat there, took a deep breath and asked, "What type of beast is it?"
"Giant fly!"
Baker said: "It is a kind of giant fly that is more than half a person's height. There are so many of them that they almost occupy a large area of forest on the northeast side!"
"Giant fly?" Zheng Cheng frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"We have been following your orders, my lord, and have been preparing for the expedition to Black Tower Mountain in the past few days. Most of the reconnaissance guards are concentrated on the northeast side."
"But who would have thought that the magician on duty today suddenly discovered a large number of giant fly monsters on the reconnaissance crystal. After learning about this, I immediately reported it to you..."
"Giant fly?"
Zheng Cheng asked: "Do you know this kind of strange beast?"
"this……"
Baker hesitated for a moment and then said, "I guess it could be the horsefly clan, one of the three major flying royal clans among the Zerg!"
"The horsefly tribe? What's so special about them?"
"plague!"
Baker said succinctly: "The horsefly tribe is best at spreading plague. They use the corpses of other creatures as hosts and lay their fly eggs on the corpses, so that they can reproduce quickly and form a large-scale tide of giant fly beasts!"
"These horseflies carry a large number of viruses and bacteria, which can cause widespread plague."
"In our world, several kingdoms and over ten million people died from the plague of the horsefly tribe!"
"It is precisely because of its ability to spread the plague that it is ranked as one of the three flying royal families of the Zerg!"
Zheng Cheng said calmly: "According to what you said, there was no horsefly tribe on Jiasha Island before, but now it suddenly appears, there may be a heroic unit of the horsefly tribe behind it!"
"In other words...their mission here is to get the giant home crystal on Black Tower Mountain!"
Baker also nodded quickly and said, "That makes sense, lord, what should we do? Is..."
Zheng Cheng stood up suddenly. The crowd below had returned to calm. He said coldly, "Send the order! The expeditionary force is leaving!"
"This time, it's our turn to take the initiative!"
"What?!"
