Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System-Chapter 518 - 229: Triggering Intel—Time for a Big Score?!
Lear calmed his mind, then turned to look at the Great Demon beside him.
After some thought, he put six of them into the Shadow Cage.
Only one was left beside him for protection.
Having too many in numbers would be too conspicuous; this was the territory of the Gray Dwarves, and he just wanted to make a fortune quietly without attracting too much attention.
He glanced at the lone yet equally fierce Great Demon, nodding in satisfaction.
"Into the city!"
He immediately flew toward Molten Iron City.
The closer he got, the more he could feel how majestic this city carved from a mountain was.
Stretching from heaven to earth, dotted with heavy crossbow towers, just approaching it gave a sense of oppression.
In its presence, ordinary people seemed as insignificant as sand.
More extravagantly, the outside of this city’s walls was cast with molten steel, forming a thick outer shell.
Paired with heavy walls, it could be called indestructible.
The resources consumed to construct this city could probably be described in astronomical numbers.
The massive city gate, over 50 meters tall, was currently wide open, the ground paved with stones emitting a faint glow, stretching into the city walls.
Gnomes, Snake-men, Minotaurs, Evil Eyes, Zor... tall and short, fat and thin, bizarre and varied in appearance.
A mass of underworld life filed in.
When Lear was a kilometer from the city walls, he landed on the ground and walked toward the city like everyone else.
But just then, his intelligence system suddenly refreshed in his mind.
[You have reached the Underground City—Molten Iron City. Observing this majestic city forged by the Gray Dwarves, you have obtained an extra piece of intelligence—the greedy Gray Dwarves plan to make a major score before the underworld collapses—they plan to embezzle the goods and payments from this dark auction. To avoid retribution from enraged guests, they have already moved Molten Iron City’s supplies and treasures to a secret base on the earth’s surface half a month ago.]
[The Gray Dwarf Chieftain controls a unique Forbidden Curse Scroll they can use to instantly evacuate all Gray Dwarves when the situation arises. To avoid leaks, Molten Iron City’s army will only evacuate on the day the dark auction starts, leaving the city’s defenses empty at that time.]
[Some greedy Gray Dwarves have noticed the profit to be made and have stolen some supplies during transport, hiding them away.]
[After the dark auction ends, the Lizard-man Demigod Eye will be coveted and hidden in the chaos.]
[The hiding place is in Molten Iron City’s Black Gold District, at the estate of the Gray Dwarves’ leader, Barbaro Molten Iron. Under the pond in his garden lies a unique interlayer space, accessible by filling the Bronze Pillars bordering the pond with Spiritual Power, but it is guarded by ten Level 15 Bloodthirsty Giants. Entering recklessly will lead to an attack, and the treasure’s owner will arrive within half an hour.]
[The hiding Gray Dwarves have another method to open the vault; they will open it a day after the dark auction ends.]
Lear, after reading the newly updated intelligence, looked quite astonished.
Good golly, no wonder it’s the underworld, huh?
Planning to make a big score before the world ends?
Are these Gray Dwarves planning to ascend?
But there’s a certain logic to their actions.
Once the underworld collapses, those who were duped won’t have a place to seek revenge... When everything turns into chaos, the Gray Dwarves will remain untroubled.
Lear’s lips twitched.
He had worried about not getting the treasure he wanted, but it turns out the Gray Dwarves never intended to do business properly.
Fortunately, he learned of their plans and the whereabouts of the Lizard-man Demigod Eye; otherwise, he would have been anxious.
But if they dared to do this, then maybe... could he also take advantage of the opportunity to do one big job?
While pondering, Lear looked up.
His gaze lingered on the heavy siege weapons for a long time... These things, Weilu City still couldn’t produce them now.
Or rather, had no spare capacity to produce.
When the Gray Dwarves withdraw, they won’t take all these things away, will they?
If he could get hold of three to five hundred of them, that would be great.
At this time, on the towering city walls, there were also a mass of fully armed, heavily armored Gray Dwarves patrolling.
Many Gray Dwarves holding heavy crossbows wantonly aimed their crossbow arrows below.
A few were even playfully pretending to pull the trigger of the crossbows.
Startling a few timid Underground Dwarves who were secretly glancing at the city walls, causing the perpetrators on the walls to laugh heartily.
Lear withdrew his gaze, contemplating the feasibility.
Gradually approaching the towering city gate, he saw a group of unique Gray Dwarf Knights stationed there.
Their mounts were two-and-a-half-meter tall boars with sharp tusks and long noses, covered in hedgehog-like bristles with thick gray-black skin.
A line of them passed by, more than two battalions!
Majestic and brimming with murderous aura.
Once this unit charges, it would absolutely have a destructive impact.
Moreover, the aura they emitted was obviously more ferocious than the Gray Dwarf Knights he had battled in the Broken Plane.
Frenzied Wild Boar Knights, Level: Level 14, Potential: 4 Stars...
Lear raised an eyebrow slightly.
Is this perhaps the advanced unit of the Wild Boar Knight?
Ferocious! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Level 14, two levels higher than his Cold-blooded Cavalry.
This Molten Iron City has existed in the underworld for several hundred to over a thousand years, its foundation not to be underestimated.
It’s best to wait for the opponent to withdraw their forces before planning anything else.
He steadied himself and stepped forward.
There were twenty checkpoints at the entrance, each with long queues.
