War Strength Conversion, Great Wine Jug, Preparation (4000 words)
Under the Darkness of night, two dazzling streams of light descended rapidly, appearing above the *Dragon Tooth Tribe* in an instant.
The light made the Tribe, shrouded in Darkness, noticeably brighter, but it was already late at night, and the Lizardmen had long fallen into slumber.
The two guards were swiftly dealt with by Su Kui·Zhu Zhu, resulting in the entire *Dragon Tooth Tribe* not reacting immediately.
In mid-air.
Tang Zheng, wearing a half-rimmed Magic Item with Night Vision in his left eye, gazed at the *Lizardmen Tribe* below.
According to Su Kui·Zhu Zhu's information, while the Tribe chief held the highest position in the *Lizardmen Tribe, the Priest Lizardmen* in the council of elders were the most revered.
Therefore, their residences were mostly located in the deepest part of the Tribe, and their wooden huts were generally more conspicuous than those of ordinary Lizardmen.
With the aid of the light emitted by the two Flame Archangels and the Night Vision effect of the Magic Item, Tang Zheng quickly located several relatively prominent wooden huts in the depths of the Tribe.
With a thought.
The two Flame Archangels flapped their wings and attacked, heading away from the wooden huts suspected to be the residences of the *Priest Lizardmen*.
Without any complicated maneuvers, the Flame Archangels, with their inherent defensive capabilities and diving speed, easily smashed through two wooden huts.
Boom! Boom! Two loud explosions echoed in the *Dragon Tooth Tribe, instantly awakening most of the sleeping Lizardmen*.
Especially the Lizardmen in the two smashed wooden huts, before they could react to what had happened, light swords burning with flames and holy aura slashed down.
Killing the Lizardmen in the wooden huts!
Immediately afterward, the two Flame Archangels rushed towards the surrounding wooden huts, continuing their attack.
A surprise attack!
More successful than expected, in just two or three minutes, the Lizardmen in several wooden huts had been completely killed by the Flame Archangels.
In an instant, all the Lizardmen who rushed out were attracted to them.
"They're really lax."
"It seems that the Lizardmen who escaped from the Small Fang Tribe didn't come to the *Dragon Tooth Tribe, but went to the stronger Green Claw Tribe*."
Tang Zheng, watching the *Dragon Tooth Tribe* below become noisy and chaotic, only now fully reacting, spoke softly.
Among the *Lizardmen Tribe, only the Priest Lizardmen gave Tang Zheng* some trouble.
Even if those ordinary Lizardman Warriors were stronger, they wouldn't pose much of a threat against the Flame Archangels, who were at level 21 and skilled in defense.
It was nothing more than using the advantage of numbers to kill the Flame Archangels.
After all, Sarius Xia Xia, the holder of Frozen Fang, who was known as the strongest Lizardman Warrior among the Lizardmen, was only level 20.
The strength of ordinary Lizardman Warriors was even lower, around level eleven or twelve, with an overall level similar to that of Ogres.
"Intruders!!"
"Those two monsters..."
"......"
"Help!"
The terrified, chaotic, and various other voices of the Lizardmen intertwined, constantly echoing throughout the Tribe.
As the Lizardman Warriors were attracted and gathered by the conspicuous two Flame Archangels, Su Kui·Zhu Zhu and the Evil Spirit Dog, hidden in the Darkness, also successfully infiltrated the Tribe.
Heading straight for the two *Priest Lizardmen, their mission was to capture one Priest Lizardman* alive, and they could kill the other.
Inside the *Dragon Tooth Tribe*.
"Die, enemy!" A Lizardman Warrior who came, wielding a crude greatsword, roared and rushed forward, fiercely slashing at one of the Flame Archangels.
Clang! The Flame Archangel casually swung the Flame Sword in its hand, colliding with the greatsword, sparking a burst of fire.
The Lizardman Warrior was knocked back several steps by the force transmitted from the Flame Sword, staggering and falling to the ground, and just as the Flame Archangel was about to kill the Lizardman Warrior.
Whoosh—
A large net flew from the crowd, covering the Flame Archangel, and suddenly pulled it.
"Pull!!" Several loud shouts rang out, the ropes connected to the net tightened, forcibly pulling the Flame Archangel down from the air.
The dense attacks rained down swiftly. The Flame Archangel, while slashing the large net with its Flame Sword and killing a Lizardman Warrior nearest to it, was bombarded by the furious attacks of the remaining Lizardman Warriors, dissolving into specks of light.
The Lizardmen cheered, preparing to besiege another Flame Archangel, but at that moment, a streak of light fell from the sky once more! A brand new Flame Archangel appeared before all the Lizardmen.
The cheering atmosphere couldn't help but pause! "It lasted ten minutes from the start of the battle to the end, no, the real battle should be over within five minutes."
Tang Zheng watched the defeated Flame Archangel and glanced at the Pocket Watch in his hand, silently calculating the time in his mind.
The Flame Archangel was indeed not weak, but that was in a one-on-one situation. When the number of enemies increased, the Flame Archangel was not enough.
In the end! Converting combat power, the Flame Archangel was just a flying level 21 Warrior.
And if the Lizardmen below were converted into human troops, they would be at the elite troop level! No! Tang Zheng remembered that the average level of the Warrior Band formed by Gazef was only around 7, and that was already considered elite among human armies.
The average level of these Lizardman Warriors was above level ten, coupled with the advantages of the Demi-human race and their thick skin structure, they had to be at least fully armed elites.
"The advantages of the Demi-human race are indeed not comparable to humans." After Tang Zheng made the conversion in his mind, he couldn't help but sigh again.
"Although there are many Lizardman Warriors gathered below, in reality, no more than 10 should be able to directly engage the Flame Archangel in combat."
"One Lizardman Warrior can be converted into two elite human soldiers, calculating like this... twenty elite human soldiers can take down a Flame Archangel at the cost of casualties."
Tang Zheng calmly watched below.
Boom! Another Flame Archangel perished again.
Tang Zheng casually crushed a Magic Scroll, and a new Flame Archangel continued to join the battlefield.
"Compared to the Small Fang Tribe, the battle of the Dragon Tooth Tribe is indeed more meaningful for reference." Tang Zheng carefully observed the battle below.
Since the two Priest Lizardmen had not arrived yet, the situation where the Small Fang Tribe only controlled the Flame Archangel without destroying it would naturally not occur.
The reason why the Small Fang Tribe collapsed so quickly was entirely because the chief was defeated and the Priest was controlled by Tang Zheng, which led to most of the Lizardman Warriors losing their will to fight.
In addition.
That Old Priest Lizardman seemed to have anticipated the worst situation and allowed a portion of the Lizardmen in the Tribe to evacuate in advance.
At least 1/3 of the Lizardmen in the entire Small Fang Tribe successfully escaped. This situation was also related to the fact that Tang Zheng did not pursue them.
These old, weak, sick, and disabled were originally left for the future Great Tomb of Nazarick.
The battle of the Dragon Tooth Tribe began to fall into a stalemate.
An invisible emotion of Fear spread among the Lizardmen. The Flame Archangel would not tire, would not Fear, and was not even afraid of death.
But the Lizardmen would! They went to great lengths, even sacrificing several companions, and finally killed a Flame Archangel, but another one reappeared in the blink of an eye.
Until now!
No one had figured out what these winged, armored monsters were and why they suddenly appeared in the Tribe.
In addition, some Lizardman Warriors had noticed something was wrong. Why hadn't the two Priest Elders appeared yet?
"Don't be afraid!!"
"The ancestors are watching us, kill!"
"Ooooh! Ooooh! Ooooh!!"
Just as this atmosphere of Fear appeared, a Lizardman Warrior roared, invigorating all the Lizardmen.
Unfortunately, this uplifting emotion did not last long. As the Lizardman Warrior once again killed a Flame Archangel, panting heavily and looking exhausted.
Brilliant light fell from the sky again, and a brand new Flame Archangel reappeared!
Despair~
Many Lizardman Warriors revealed Fear in their pupils.
They were not afraid of powerful enemies, but even the strongest Warriors would waver in the face of the unknown and unkillable enemies.
Just as this atmosphere dropped to freezing point! "The chief is dead!"
"The Priest is also dead—"
A terrified, wailing scream came from the depths of the Tribe, causing all the Lizardman Warriors present to tremble in their hearts.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Two Flame Archangels flapped their wings and charged into the Lizardmen again to begin slaughtering. The defense line that could barely be maintained collapsed at this moment.
A Lizardman retreated in fear, instantly triggering a chain reaction, and a rout began in the sky.
"Looks like it's over."
Tang Zheng watched the complete defeat of the Dragon Tooth Tribe below, put away the scroll he was holding, and raised his hands to rub his temples.
Eight Flame Archangels! From the start of the battle until now, a full hour had passed, and Tang Zheng had consumed eight Tier 3 "Angel Summoning" scrolls.
At first, this group of Lizardman Warriors could cooperate perfectly, taking down a Flame Archangel in a short time, but as casualties increased.
This kind of high-intensity battle ultimately couldn't continue, until now, when they were completely defeated.
Early morning.
Deep within the Dragon Tooth Tribe.
One of the two Priest Lizardmen, the only one who survived, led Tang Zheng to a large vat that didn't look particularly conspicuous.
The entire vat was more than a meter high, and the diameter of the opening was more than 80 centimeters, filled with a jar of what looked like slightly cloudy wine.
An interested look appeared on Tang Zheng's face as he sized up the vat in front of him.
This was one of the Lizardmen's Four Great Treasures, the "Great Wine Jug".
After taking a few glances, the exterior was indeed a bit ordinary, looking like it was made of pottery, but it clearly wasn't that kind of material.
"Item Appraisal."
Tang Zheng cast Magic on the Great Wine Jug.
...
Item: Magic Item·Great Wine Jug
Level: High-Tier (31~40)
Restriction: None
Effect: Can continuously produce wine.
Introduction: This is a magical Great Wine Jug that will produce fine wine anytime, anywhere, but only for certain races.
...
"It's actually a High-Tier Magic Item." Tang Zheng was a little surprised when he saw the information from the Item Appraisal.
He didn't expect that this Great Wine Jug, which had neither attack ability nor auxiliary effects, would have such a high item level.
Tang Zheng curiously walked forward, scooped out a portion of the wine from inside, and smelled it slightly.
It had a bit of a fruity aroma.
He lowered his head and took a sip, it was a bit astringent and bitter, but the alcohol content wasn't high.
"Not tasty." Tang Zheng gave what he considered to be a fairly objective evaluation.
"Awoo." The Evil Spirit Dog sniffed its nose, curiously sizing up the wine, seeming very interested.
Tang Zheng handed the remaining wine in his hand to the Evil Spirit Dog: "You want to try some too?"
"Woof."
The Evil Spirit Dog responded, stuck out its tongue and took a few sips, the Bone Chain on its body swayed slightly, and even its tail couldn't help but wag a few times.
"Looks like you like it." Tang Zheng was a little surprised, then revealed a smile, and reached out to support the Great Wine Jug.
The "Great Wine Jug" disappeared, and was stored in the Item Box.
This item really didn't help much in terms of combat, but if it was placed in a special scenario, it would be quite useful, such as in a desert where there was a lack of water, the "Great Wine Jug" could be used as an unlimited water bottle.
"Alright, now tell me about all the magical knowledge in your Tribe."
Having obtained a good Magic Item, a smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face, and he turned his head to speak to the Priest Lizardman next to him.
The reason he spared the other party's life was to learn about the magical knowledge inherited within the Dragon Tooth Tribe from their mouth.
As the Priest Lizardman began to explain.
An expression of surprise gradually appeared on Tang Zheng's face, the magical knowledge in the other party's Tribe was far more than that of the Small Fang Tribe.
This situation arose,
and it's also related to the Lizardmen Tribe war from a few years ago. Back then, the Dragon Tooth Tribe, which didn't participate in the war, absorbed more than just the population of the two defeated Lizardmen Tribes.
"Well, it's good to wait here for the other Lizardmen Tribes to come." After Tang Zheng understood the numerous Magic knowledge the other party possessed, he knew he would probably have to stay here for a while.
His gaze swept towards the stats panel.
[Experience Bar: 225775/70000]
The Experience Points had already reached over 220,000. According to Tang Zheng's calculations, based on the current increment of 10,000 per level, it would take 340,000 Experience Points to raise 'Magic Swordsman' to the maximum level of 5Lv.
He already had over 220,000, leaving a shortfall of about 110,000.
Upper Earth Month, October 12th.
Green Claw Tribe.
In a solemn wooden house, the entire room was filled with Lizardmen.
All five Priest Lizardmen of the Tribe had gathered, each with a grave expression.
In addition to them were the Hunting Squad leader, Sarius Xia Xia, who wielded the 'Frozen Fang,' and Xasilius Xia Xia, the Tribe leader's older brother, whose strength was no less than Sarius Xia Xia's, and who had also gone through several selections and emerged victorious.
All the important figures in the entire Tribe had gathered in this wooden house.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive! Even now, everyone still found it hard to believe that the Small Fang Tribe and the Dragon Tooth Tribe had been annihilated!
These were two Tribes, after all.
It was fine for the Small Fang Tribe, which was weak, having suffered the greatest losses in the last Tribe war and not yet recovered.
But the Dragon Tooth Tribe had more than 120 Lizardman Warriors. In terms of the number of Lizardman Warriors, they were on par with the Green Claw Tribe.
"Have the members of the Small Fang Tribe and the Dragon Tooth Tribe been taken care of?" The oldest Priest Lizardman took the lead in breaking the oppressive atmosphere.
