and insects, the man-eating vines, the unknown monsters hunting in the murky mud water, the powerful Cyclops, the ferocious swamp Flying Dragon, the mud that collapses under one’s foot, ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swamp is synonymous with danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For most people, encountering swamp wetlands in the wilderness prompts them to stay as far away as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it’s entirely possible to enhance the traits of the swamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lear thought of the Black-spot Red Blood Worm he had encountered earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These highly venomous insects, usually hidden underground, would crawl out from the mire to gnaw at enemies when provoked, with their venom being extremely lethal, taking half a life if one is not cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is also the Lost Grass, used by the Half-Fishman during their rituals to the Divine Spirit, capable of driving people into madness...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are naturally the specialties of the swamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the perimeter areas were planted with highly poisonous things and bred with venomous insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then set up some traps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t this form a natural defensive circle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In situations like today, an outer defensive circle could easily swallow up the wild monsters in the wilderness without even needing the army to be dispatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this setup could continuously provide alchemy materials for the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon thinking of this, the image of the valley where the Dark Naga resided appeared in Lear’s mind... perpetually shrouded in mist, with an indescribable mystery and danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as he knew, there seemed to be Magic Plants in the swamp that could condense mist, which was why there often were thick fogs in the swamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a circle is set around, allowing the mist to engulf all directions, with various traps placed in it... or an ambush of heavy troops at key areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is there to worry about in terms of safety then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who should worry about safety are the ones daring to intrude into the swamp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering a moment, Lear called for Bain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He told him about the idea of establishing a defensive region on the outskirts of the Mire Swamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once the defensive circle is established, the security of Weilu City will be greatly enhanced, and the guarding forces required can be streamlined quite a bit, no longer having to be apprehensive at the slightest disturbance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our various industries can also develop in a stable environment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bain, thrilled, said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, this is indeed a great idea, and we have accumulated a lot of highly poisonous items, which can be fully utilized.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lear nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 3-star alchemy poison, Black Spot Blood Worm Powder, manufactured earlier had allowed Weilu City to destroy the nest of the flesh-mosquito with insufficient troops and enslave a Level 13 Mosquito Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had also made significant contributions in subsequent battles with the Half-Fishman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, collecting highly poisonous items became a daily task of the territory during this period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Discuss a detailed plan of how to arrange it among yourselves, and also, Grandma Green Grass can participate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is destined to be a large project, requiring no little time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this topic ended, Lear changed the subject and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bain, the territory needs to rebuild a building for lecturing, as we will be teaching Goblin System knowledge in the future...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goblin knowledge?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bain was momentarily stunned, a group of timid beings who would only dare to rob a carriage when outnumbering their target by ten or twenty times appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, Goblins... also have a systematic knowledge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The existence of the Ancient Goblin God was unknown to outsiders, Bain was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murals seen by the army in the Goblin Ruins were circulated only within the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The civilization buried by the Gods had long dissipated into dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lear slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They possessed a glorious past that once made the Gods tremble...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a major opportunity that, if grasped, could dramatically enhance the foundations of Weilu City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the related knowledge must be closely kept secret, not to be leaked, nor let outsiders know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ancient God who forged a civilization, concealing an unknown amount of knowledge, just thinking about it makes one expectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a civilization that the world fears, once exposed, would cause a great upheaval... but, would it go unused because of potential dangers in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swamp is his domain, not even a Divine Spirit could pry here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bain was also intrigued, was Goblin truly so extraordinary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, I’ll make arrangements shortly afterward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lear nodded again, continuing to inquire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is the production of the Spider Boggart’s armor going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, 30 sets have been produced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 2-Star level armor, the production process was simplified a lot, exceeding efficiency expectations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Additionally, Lord Bulin has specially forged weapons for the Spider Boggart, reaching as high as 3 Stars in level!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bain was quite proud too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blacksmith Shop is now the leading industry in the territory, having made great efforts to nurture it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lear was quite interested in the Spider Boggart’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the first batch had been forged, he could visit the partner’s territory tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also wanted to see how much his future partner had to offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow I’ll lead a team to Spider Boggart’s territory, arrange the goods today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, has the site selection for the subsidiary city been finalized?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I organized 20 Mud Swamp People for a field investigation, and three locations have been identified... Please have a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm... What are these crosses and tick marks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, sir, this blueprint is a bit rough... look here, and here, the selected areas are 15 kilometers from the swamp’s edge, not too far nor too close, utilizing the swamp as a natural buffer and also reducing the distance to Weilu City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I highly recommend this area, surrounded by the Mire Swamp, where the Starry Sky Vine roots, naturally forming a moat around it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",982,"2026-06-02T06:36:48.551Z",1,"novelbin.me","9974302d4af2fbc8f8e9b1da6e6761d5745fbc88620874148376315a3a4d37ed","swamp-lord-with-an-intelligence-system-chapter-286","swamp-lord-with-an-intelligence-system-chapter-284",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fswamp-lord-with-an-intelligence-system-cover.jpg"]
