Chapter 41: Preparation for War and Quarrels
In the karst cave under the sea cliff of King's Harbor, just in front of the straight artificial passage, Xue Hua shook the water droplets on his body, and with a slight lift of his hand, a large number of insect swarms immediately poured out from the dimensional cave that cracked on both sides of his body.
Most of these Zerg units are invisible units such as lurkers and shadow worms, and they will be ambushed here under the leadership of the two-headed worm mother, waiting for the people of the Evolution Church to take advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the Sarnagar laboratory.
In addition, Xue Hua also ambushed hundreds of poisonous explosion insects in the laboratory, according to Isha's calculations, if these poisonous explosion insects were gathered together to explode themselves, their power would definitely be enough to completely collapse the entire laboratory.
This backhand is to ensure that if the No. 1 comes in person, even if the swarm outside can't keep him, at least he doesn't want to take anything from the laboratory, and the huge power generated by the self-explosion of the poisonous explosion insect may bury No. 1 and the entire laboratory together, so he will not be able to fly.
After setting up this trap, Xue Hua moved to an underground worm nest in the west of the Linhai Plain with Dehaka, who had arrived after the mission was canceled, and since this side was not the main attack direction of Skeletron, it was relatively affected by the gray mist.
And on the other hand, after seeing the terrifying power of the gray mist, Xue Hua didn't want to take the swarm up to be tough with it, and similarly, if the gray mist didn't stop outside King's Harbor, then King's Harbor could basically be abandoned.
Because nothing can stop the terrifying gray mist that eats away at all living beings and transforms living creatures into undead spirits to fight for Skeletron.
Thinking of this, Xue Hua contacted the adjutant in the mind of the main nest and began to inquire about the current movements of those gray mist and the demon army in Tristram City.
"Juggernaut, according to the information from our Watchdog Bugs, the gray mist has swept through most of the southern jungle and is heading towards the human plantation outside the jungle, it has no intention of stopping, but the speed is indeed slowing down, and the concentration of the fog is decreasing.
In addition, Abbather was unable to detect any biological response from the gray fog sample we had taken, and he determined that the gray fog was a pure energy morphological change structure, and if you know more about the sample, you will need to ask our Astral allies to continue this research. ”
"I see, let the king worm bring it to Kelles, and tell him I need to get an answer soon."
Xue Hua nodded, rubbed his eyebrows again, and sighed before replying helplessly.
He originally came here with the mentality of a vacation, but now he suddenly made this kind of paradoxical thing, which made him feel a little depressed and at the same time, he also began to wonder if he really had the potential to be a war messenger, how could he go all the way and fight wherever he went?
"Let the worm mothers in the hives that have not been affected by the gray fog actively start preparing for war, and if human reinforcements arrive in King's Harbor, let me know immediately.
It's likely to be an uphill battle that we're going to face, so we're going to need to get as much support as possible. ”
Xue Hua eased his nerves, and then gave the order to prepare for battle in the mind of the main nest.
......
While the swarm was actively preparing for the upcoming battle, in the royal palace of King's Harbor, the ministers of the kingdom were still arguing over whether to send heavy troops to defend the Xiangguo Plain.
"Fragrant fruit is the cornerstone of the kingdom! It is the economic lifeblood of the country, if the manors on the Xiangguo Plains are destroyed by monsters, then how will our King's Harbor gain a foothold in the first world in the future? ”
The kingdom's business minister, Fitis Margery, roared loudly at the court council at the disagreed Minister of War, Marcy Frank.
The plantations on the Xiangguo Plain were the lifeblood of the Mageri family, and the trade, taxation, and transportation of these fragrant fruits were almost all their tricks to play with the government.
If all these plantations were destroyed by Tristram's demon legions, then their family's status would really plummet.
"I know what you say, but the Xiangguo Plain is a plain! There's no danger there! What do you want our soldiers to do to stop those monsters? Fruit pile?!
Also, if you stick to the Fragrant Fruit Plains, what will happen to those damn gray fogs? I'm sure you've seen how powerful this thing is, if it doesn't stop advancing after it burrows out of the forest sea, then wouldn't the troops we have deployed on the Xiangguo Plain be sacrificed to life?! ”
Marcy Frank certainly wasn't going to go soft like this, and he made a lot of sense, now that the gray fog had spread across most of the southern part of the woods, there was no guarantee that it would stop at the edge of the jungle.
And even if it did stop at the border of the Xiangguo Plain, with the flat terrain of the Xiangguo Plain, the kingdom's army would not be able to hold back the army of monsters dozens of times their size from the front (not to mention the monsters that have been transformed into undead).
Therefore, Marcy's proposition was to abandon the plain of Xiangguo, and concentrate all the defense on the northern wall of the noble district of King's Port, which used to be the main outer wall section of Dunclave, so that it was built very strongly, and as long as the gray fog did not continue to spread into the city, this wall was the most solid guarantee of King's Port.
"Can't hold it?! If you can't hold it, what are you going to do?! Your military affairs department eats the budget the most ruthlessly every year, and now when it comes time to use you, will they all become turtles with shrunken heads?
You don't know how important Fragrant Fruit is to the kingdom, losing the plantation manor on the Fragrant Fruit Plains, even if we defeat the demon army of Tristram, we will be completely reduced to a second-rate country!
Without an economic lifeline, we are nothing with a port alone! ”
Fitis spat at Marcy with some gaffe, which is not to blame him, after all, even outsiders' impression of King's Port is "a kingdom built on a pile of fragrant fruits", which shows how important Xiangguo is to King's Port.
"The Xiangguo Plantation is gone, it can still be built, if the army is submerged on the Xiangguo Plain because of your words, then King's Harbor is really finished!"
Marcy also yelled as he shouldn't have shown weakness.
In the face of the quarrel between the important ministers of the two kingdoms, the foreign secretary Norman Joshua, the representative of the Joshua family of the "Diamond Cane", the other big family of King's Harbor, only stood by from the sidelines.
He knew that the final solution to this matter would have to fall to him.
King's Harbor has been at war for too long, and even the stupid lions of the Frank family can't change the fact that the Legion hasn't fought a major battle since its formation.
The previous trip to the seaport of Kurast was supposed to be a good opportunity for His Majesty the King to let the legions go out to participate in some decent battles and accumulate combat experience, but it turned out to be cut off by Ron Margery halfway, and in the end not only did he not learn any experience, but also ended up in a bad end, which is really a pity......
Thinking of this, Norman knew that this crisis could not be absorbed by the kingdom alone, although Skeletron had done them a favor not long ago, letting the world know about the danger they were currently facing in the West, so that reinforcements from the Council would arrive soon.
But before that, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and if you want to survive this crisis, I'm afraid you have to have some blood from the kingdom and let yourself ask for help from the outside world......
