Chapter 636 Goodbye to the Muddy Swamp
"Your Majesty, we have made formal contact with the enemy and engaged in fierce fighting. Unfortunately, we have not been able to defeat or capture them. Their tenacity has exceeded our expectations."
By the time the Insect Captain arrived at Lin Tian's location, the battle had already ended, and a large number of toothed insect corpses had gathered together, forming a huge mud pit.
According to locals, these mud pits, formed by large accumulations of tooth worms, can remain on the ground for a long time, and it takes a lot of resources to fill them in before they can be slowly eliminated and cleaned up.
Fortunately, this mud pit wasn't particularly dangerous, at least not as obviously dangerous as the lyre mantis larvae.
The insect demons learned from the natives that after a fierce battle, a large number of tooth-toothed insect corpses formed a huge mud pit on the spot, which was much larger than the one in front of Lin Tian.
After the battle, a soldier accidentally fell in. His comrades went to great lengths to pull him out, but they didn't see any injuries on his body. This continued for several months until he died in a battle with tooth worms, and no one ever saw him again.
Sweethearts devoured by tooth worms cannot be resurrected. Even if they are resurrected, they will not have the same intelligence as other Sweethearts. They will be like empty shells without a soul, so there is no need for them to be resurrected.
Everyone believed he died from tooth worms, but Lin Tian didn't think so.
Lin Tian crouched before the mud pool formed of flesh and blood. Facing the evil and uncomfortable aura emanating from the mud pool, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Previously, when he was in Green Tree City, he was attacked by an evil organization, which was hiding in the mainland and was now called the Evil Eye Cult.
The attacker was likely a member of that organization, and his technique involved summoning black mud to form a swamp.
Lin Tian had faced that mud pit before. Although it wasn't 100% similar, the mud pit back then and the one now had a very similar atmosphere.
Do not doubt his sense of smell. After acquiring the ability to smell, his sense of smell is already extraordinary. In addition to the true sense of smell, he can also smell some unique scents on objects.
For example, right now, he can smell decay and new life emanating from this quagmire...
So, is their attitude one of refusing to cooperate with us?
After watching for a while, Lin Tian temporarily put aside the problem of the mud pit and turned to look at the insect captain who had been respectfully waiting for his reply.
"That's right, I spoke with that lieutenant colonel. He cruelly and resolutely refused our request to see the Queen. I could see loyalty in his eyes. Although it wasn't as strong as our loyalty to you, it was still quite intense."
“We may not be able to get a peace deal out of him, so I suggest we launch a direct attack on them.”
"Under the coercion of power, they have no choice but to submit. Even if that queen is of the highest rank, she will only become your prisoner..."
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow at the kneeling insect captain with a strange expression. He didn't know where his subordinate had learned this tone. In his memory, his little demons were all a bunch of... cough cough! At least not civilized.
However, none of that mattered. Lin Tian was more concerned about the information he had mentioned. After learning everything from him, Lin Tian was filled with doubt.
Why did they retreat? They clearly had the upper hand, yet they chose to retreat at this crucial moment.
Has something serious happened?
Do they feel the situation is unfavorable and that they can't defeat us? Or... could it be... that something is wrong with their rear?
The only thing that could influence the decisions of a frontline general is the rear. Lieutenant Colonel Macaron's retreat likely indicates that something is wrong with their kingdom.
In this case......
"Since the other side has no intention of negotiating, let's continue the attack. The temporary insect hive I set up recently has hatched some new warriors. If you organize them, you should be able to form a sizable force."
"In addition, I will send a capable assistant to help you. With his help, plus your own strength, defeating the opponent should not be a problem."
"I have other things to do right now and can't help you hold the line. If you really can't take it, just send me a message and I'll come to help you."
After saying all this, Lin Tian dismissed the insect captain and then gazed at the mud pit in front of him once more.
If he remembered correctly, there was a place called the Land of Dark Mud in this kingdom, where many creatures hated by the people of this kingdom lived.
Tooth worms.
Even now, the kingdom's army has not been able to clear that area; instead, it has designated it as a forbidden zone, which speaks volumes about the danger of that area.
However, Lin Tian's eyes didn't show much fear; instead, they were filled with curiosity about the area.
Don't get me wrong, he wasn't interested in those fat tooth worms or the black mud; what he really wanted to find out was the tissue that might be related to the black mud.
Although he now desperately wants to leave this area, he must explore it thoroughly before he does.
Having killed several members of the opposing organization, Lin Tian didn't think he would end up hand in hand with them, laughing and joking. Since they were now enemies, Lin Tian had to understand everything about them.
Only by understanding the other party can one decisively defeat their enemy... well... only then can one forcefully thrust their weapon into the enemy's heart.
Although sticks are often used to strike, stabbing is clearly a more ruthless act against an enemy.
Lin Tian never shows mercy...
.............
Lin Tian's guess was indeed correct. Lieutenant Colonel Macaron did not retreat without a reason. After all, he could not easily give up a victory that was within his grasp.
But he was helpless. Just as Lin Tian had thought, there was a problem with his rear, and it wasn't just any rear—not a supply line, not civilians, but the kingdom itself.
The Kingdom! The Sweetheart Kingdom is in trouble! This is a very serious problem; in fact, it's unprecedented in the entire history of the Sweetheart Kingdom.
This was an unbelievable question; even Lieutenant Colonel Macaron wondered if he was still half asleep, because...
Someone has rebelled!!!
