Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System - Chapter 638 - 271: Original Plane, Ancient Humans

Chapter 638: Chapter 271: Original Plane, Ancient Humans

Lear pondered, his gaze turning to the wilderness.

He felt a restless stirring within his heart.

The Original Plane, a name that sparked curiosity and intrigue.

If he could convert millions of Ancient Humans, or even just a third or a fifth of them, into believers… a Divine Spirit with Powerful Divine Power could easily be cultivated.

Even capturing a tenth of the believers would be an incredible feat, as the Power of Faith provided by Ancient Humans is ten times greater than that of ordinary human believers!

More importantly, the quality of this population was extremely high. Even if he didn’t want believers and just extracted some of the population, it would still be a wonderful endeavor.

This fatty piece of meat was not just enticing to him; anyone would desire a taste of it.

With his thoughts turning swiftly, he immediately returned to the City Hall, gathered his people, and began discussions on the matter.

Compared to this, the current Dark Raven Disaster suddenly seemed mundane.

Though the Master of Dark Crows was fierce and brutal, their goal wasn’t the destruction of the world but rather to draw the Gods’ attention, thus spreading the pressure on the swamp was relatively minimal.

Therefore, it did not require excessive worry.

However, for smaller forces, it could indeed be a catastrophe of extinction.

Before long, the top forces of Weilu City quietly assembled.

Mud Swamp People Hero, Chief Civil Officer – Bain,

Level 15 Dark Night Elf Leader – Isa,

Guardian of Weilu City – Level 15 King of Naga,

Wetland Lizardman Hero – Level 17 Haggs,

Level 18 Great Demons,

Level 18 Swamp Boggart – Mar,

A Wild Warrior whose level had risen to 18, with an Ancient Soul within, Barbarian Chief – Betina,

and an Extraordinary Soul-devouring Demon occupying an Orc body…

Along with the 17th Level Two-headed Giant Chief stationed in the Undead Plane, all were present.

Only Kalanis still in Lorand City and the headless Divine Life guarding the City of Death—the Flesh Butcher were absent.

In the tall and spacious meeting hall, Lear sat at the head, surrounded by various heroes. Those who could sit, did, while others stood.

Sweeping his gaze around, there was satisfaction in his eyes.

He was now rich in talented individuals.

Compared to half a year ago, when he entered the wilderness with just a few hundred Level 6 Wetland Lizardman Warriors, the difference was like night and day.

Taking a deep breath, he informed those present about the intelligence on the Original Plane, and finally stated.

“Securing believers in the Original Plane is extremely important.”

“And since the Gods cannot intervene, we have the qualification to compete. We possess the Swamp Boggart, which is a great advantage.”

“Bain, share your thoughts first.”

The Chief Civil Officer, when named, immediately stood up, organized his words somewhat, and said in a deep voice.

“Your Majesty, I think we should enter the Original Plane and first establish a base for transporting materials at a suitable location, using vines as walls to prevent it from being conquered.”

“Then continue further, constructing the base deeper into the land… embedding the walls in the soil.”

“This way, our surface goals won’t be apparent, allowing us to develop in secret and become quite substantial.”

“Additionally, we must prepare ample materials… food, salt, fresh water, armor, weapons… all are necessities!”

“According to your explanation, this is destined to be a prolonged battle of acquisition, with many twists and turns. We must prepare ourselves both psychologically and resource-wise…”

Bain’s first concern was logistics. Once new territories were to be explored, the pressure on logistics would significantly increase.

Especially with the constant low temperatures of around four to five degrees, growth was slow for all living things.

The issue of food shortages was becoming apparent.

Moreover, considering the competition with other formidable opponents, many more factors needed to be contemplated.

Lear nodded slightly, making no comment, and turned to the next person.

“Isa, your turn…”

This being that had long survived in the underworld had no shortage of experience.

The exquisite-featured, slightly translucent-skinned Dark Night Elf stood slowly, speaking in a hushed tone.

“Your Majesty, my advice is to never lightly reveal ourselves, no matter the situation.”

“In the Original Plane, anyone prominent at the start will be seen as a thorn in everyone’s side.”

“In the pitch-black forest, any sound will surely lead to one’s downfall… this is a common rule of the underworld.”

Lear’s eyes narrowed slightly, nodding in agreement.

“Well said… Haggs.”

“Sovereign, we can propagate multiple sects simultaneously, diversifying avenues and dispersing external attention.”

“We can even have one or two sects preaching secretly, away from the forefront, so that even if besieged, there is room for maneuver.”

“Continue…”

Several heroes shared their thoughts in succession, filling gaps, and eventually forming a complete and systematic plan.

Centered primarily on two points—using the Swamp Boggart as the core to amass believers swiftly.

Secondly, to seize a stable logistics base, concealing it, and avoiding being overly conspicuous in the early stages to prevent being jointly besieged.

Other scattered details all revolved around these two core points.

More specific situations would only be known after reaching the Original Plane.

Lear made the final decision.

“Conquering the Original Plane is immensely difficult and requires significant investment… but we must ensure the territory’s normal operations and not allow its development to stagnate as a result.”

“If expenses exceed returns, we must consider whether to withdraw and not continuously sink into the notion of unattainable benefits.”

“Our conquest of this plane is to foster better development of the territory, not for the sake of conquest alone.”

“This concludes our discussion. Proceed to finalize today’s plan, and by the 16th, we’ll dispatch the first troops.”
