Chapter 328: Chapter 3: Forcing Giant Trolls into Hard Labor

Fertile Valley, this is a valley less than twenty miles west of Feiyan City.

The valley is surrounded by high mountains on all sides, with only a long canyon for entry and exit. Inside, the terrain is flat and mainly plains, with a total area of nearly a thousand square kilometers. The land is fertile and rich in resources, with several streams flowing down the slopes to form a lake.

Such a good place is a definite feng shui treasure no matter where it is. The first lord of Feiyan City cultivated the land upon discovering it. The land did not disappoint, becoming an important granary for Feiyan City at one point.

However, a group of giant trolls later came here and occupied it.

The giant trolls were powerful; a single giant troll had the strength of a Knight Level, and some could even grow to the level of a Great Knight, far beyond what an ordinary lord could handle.

In the past, faced with such a situation, the local lord would report to the Kingdom, and the Kingdom would contact the mysterious Wizard, who would be responsible for the eradication.

However, at the time, Orendale had already fallen apart. Having lost the Wizard’s protection, Feiyan City was unable to reclaim this land.

Since then, the giant trolls have bred and thrived here. With the passing of time, this place, which was once a life-supporting fertile valley, has now become the dreaded forbidden Giant Demon Valley.

But today, the arrogant and domineering Giant Trolls are facing their doom…

Giant Demon Valley, an ordinary afternoon.

The sun shone brightly, and the weather was pleasant. A group of well-fed, green-skinned trolls lay lazily on the thick grass, sunbathing. Their round bellies resembled small hills, and beside them, a group of troll infants, as small as little piglets, ran around.

These low-intelligence forest dwellers knew only three things in life: eat, sleep, and mate. When full, they slept, upon waking, they mated, and then continued the cycle of eating and sleeping until they passed.

Just then, suddenly—

“Woo woo woo!~”

A loud horn blared through the valley.

A troop of human soldiers, led by knights, surged into the valley, exuding murderous intent, their armor shining brightly in the sunlight.

The troll infants on the lawn were startled and hid behind the adult trolls. Having been born only a short time ago, they had never seen such a scene.

The adult trolls appeared much more composed, slowly rising from the ground. They casually pulled a large tree nearby and stripped it of branches. The tree, several meters tall, seemed like a toy in their hands.

Since settling this valley, they were occasionally disturbed by humans. They were already accustomed to this, as these humans were too weak to pose any threat.

“Roar!”

A dozen trolls roared in anger, smacking the ground with the large trees in their hands, causing the earth to tremble. They intended to scare the humans away with this old trick—

The green-skinned trolls were omnivorous among the giant trolls. Humans were not on their menu, so they had no interest in waging war. It was a waste of energy without benefit, as some combat-capable weak humans might still inflict harm. It was ultimately a futile endeavor.

For this reason, in the face of human invasion, the trolls primarily relied on intimidation and expulsion. They casually pulled out large trees and waved them in the air a few times. At this point, even the bravest knights turned pale and retreated, abandoning any hope of gaining fame.

However, today was different.

The trolls realized no matter how they swung the trees like windmills, or how they thumped the ground to make it tremble, the humans in front were unphased, orderly scattering to encircle them.

’Why aren’t these weak humans afraid of us?’ The trolls’ limited intellect couldn’t comprehend.

But soon, they realized—

“Whoosh whoosh!~”

Suddenly, a strong wind rose in the calm valley, sweeping the fallen leaves toward the center, rapidly creating a tornado several meters high in front of the trolls.

With a “boom!”

The tornado dispersed, and among the swirling leaves, a figure emerged.

Silver-grey long hair, an aura like frost.

The trolls became alert.

The beasts’ instinct immediately told them that this man in front was different from those surrounding humans, very powerful.

“Roar!”

The trolls roared more fiercely, trying to scare away the man. One troll hurled the large tree in its hand from a distance, aiming to smash the man fiercely.

The tree spun at high speed towards the man, creating a fierce wind-breaking sound, as if tearing through the air.

Faced with this terrifying assault, the man neither dodged nor evaded. Instead, he simply raised his right hand as the tree approached, nonchalantly reaching out.

With a “bang!”

The massive tree was firmly caught in his hand.

Then.

“Natural·Spore Release!” a deep voice rang out.

A large, bright green magic array appeared above the giant tree, and the green light scattered onto the trunk. Under this green light, the trunk rapidly sprouted one blue spore after another, visible to the naked eye.

This is a wizard-level spell under the nature element, capable of using a certain plant as a nutrient to rapidly grow spores on the plant body, thereby causing the plant to disintegrate and be destroyed.

The blue spores quickly drained all the energy from the trunk, and the large tree withered rapidly, the bark becoming dry and brittle.

When the last bit of moisture had completely evaporated, Lynch slightly squeezed the trunk with his hand.

“Bang!”

The gigantic tree exploded with a loud crash, blue spores flying all over the sky.

Standing amidst this flurry of spores, Lynch raised his right hand and pointed upward, then swiped towards the direction of the giant troll.

“Natural·Spore Entanglement!”

The spores in the sky seemed to instantly transform into soldiers obeying orders, swiftly drifting toward those green-skinned giant trolls. Once the spores touched them, they quickly spread out plant fibers, wrapping the trolls completely inside.

In an instant, trolls that had just been arrogant and domineering were now toppling over the ground, groaning incessantly.

The soldiers behind quickly rushed up, taking out ropes to firmly tie up the giant trolls on the ground—

Magic spells have a time limit; if they don’t subdue those big-headed trolls before the spores on them fade away, these ordinary humans would be in trouble.

Kali came over: “Teacher, the trolls have all been tied up; there are 38 trolls in total, all green-skinned, 6 adult trolls, and 8 troll cubs, the youngest approximately eight months old.”

Lynch nodded: “There should be more inside.”

With that, he flickered and moved deeper into the valley, continuing his sweep.

The green-skinned giant troll is a relatively easy-to-control branch among the giant trolls; they are not as violent as forest giants, nor as bloodthirsty as one-eyed trolls, with a docile temperament, and are omnivorous and easy to maintain, strong in their own right, with few drawbacks besides low intelligence.

Because of this, in the Wizard World, they are very popular subjects for extraordinary cultivation; many wizards keep a large batch of green-skinned giant trolls for labor in their Wizard Towers.

Knowing that the valley was occupied by green-skinned trolls, Lynch couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Soon, the entire valley was swept clean.

Lynch captured an additional 68 green-skinned trolls in total, including 56 adult trolls and 12 troll cubs.

Although strong, green-skinned trolls do not have high reproductive abilities; a tribe might not produce a single troll for several years, with a particularly long growth cycle, and they don’t belong to the immortal species. Therefore, over the years, they haven’t multiplied extensively, maintaining the original tribal scale.

But it’s still a considerable number; including the ones outside, close to a hundred trolls were gathered here. It’s worth noting that these are all wizard-level demons, with adult strength at the knight level, and very simple cultivation conditions, easily nurtured to mid to high-level knight strength.

If cultivated well, even reaching great knight level isn’t particularly difficult. A hundred trolls equate to a hundred great knights, a hundred great knight-level laborer troops—remarkable…

Lynch called over his apprentice: “Kali!”

Kali quickly walked over: “Teacher.”

Lynch instructed: “These green-skinned trolls are now your responsibility. If you need any resources or encounter any issues, feel free to discuss them with me. My only condition is to domesticate these green-skinned trolls as quickly as possible.”

Kali followed the bloodline path, as the vampire high-level demon race exerts a good bloodline suppression effect on most demons. Therefore, Lynch taught him some knowledge about extraordinary cultivation, guiding him to develop in this direction.

Kali earnestly promised: “I will absolutely not disappoint you!”

With Lynch’s help, Kali has already completely suppressed the blood bat bloodline within him, feeling no discomfort even under the bright sun, and has completely bid farewell to the torment of his previous, wretched state.

This has led to an immense sense of gratitude toward Lynch, augmented by Lynch’s meticulous teaching, truly imparting original spell knowledge to them, allowing them to evolve from slaves and test subjects to wizard apprentices mastering supernatural powers.

For all these reasons, at this moment, Lynch’s status in the eyes of these apprentices is almost godlike.

Tasking the trolls, Lynch floated upwards and flew towards the inside of the valley.

Surveying the valley along the way, Lynch finally halted above the lake located at the center of the valley.

’This spot isn’t bad; let’s use this as the core to build my farm!’ he thought.

With a flick of his fingers, Lynch conjured.

“Bang!”

A puff of smoke exploded in mid-air, dropping an item out of nowhere—

It was an ancient horn.
