Chapter 303. Reimagined strategy
The situation was urgent, and Kant did not stay long at the salt mine station.
Continue your trek towards the Sentry Oasis.
Two weeks have passed back and forth, and it is also the last week of the month to return to the castle of "Drehem", leaving Kant with not much time at all, and it is very urgent.
On his way back from the depths of the Narun Desert, he could clearly understand the range of the Death Canopy.
It is estimated that it will take 2 months to reach the north side of the salt mine.
In four months, the entire salt mine station on the south side can be enveloped.
5 months, enough to expand to the Sentry Oasis and directly swallow this castle that stands with it!
If you don't want to face annihilation, you have to prepare, as the mage apprentices say, and one of the ways to do this is to study the solar disk, which is the concentration of positive energy and weakens negative energy.
But Kant would not have placed all his hopes on the study of these mages.
The cunning rabbit also has three holes.
Not to mention Kant!
Quickly returned to the Consulate, didn't have time to rest, and directly waved his hand and shouted: "Summons Fatis to come to the Consulate to see me immediately, and at the same time send the desert bandits to Aaron to inform the seven mages who are temporarily stationed in the local area to return immediately." ”
"Yes!" The Swadian knight standing guard at the door immediately nodded, and immediately went to do it after receiving the order.
The wind is fierce and thundering.
Everyone felt the suppressed emotions in Kant's heart.
Everyone dares to make mistakes at this time.
Soon, Fatis was patrolling the city walls to ensure the return of the city defenses.
He was still urging the construction team to build the urn city, but now he has just completed the planning and laid a few foundations, but he didn't expect Kant to come back so quickly and come to the consul hall without greeting him.
Obviously, his own Lord Kant, the results of this reconnaissance are not optimistic.
"Lord Kant."
Fatis bowed his head and saluted with a very solemn expression.
"No need to be polite." Kant waved his hand, asked Fatis to sit down, and asked directly: "During the time I was away, was there anything unusual about the castle and the inn?" ”
"Nope." Fatis replied.
"That's good." Kant took a deep breath and nodded calmly: "In the future, we must pay attention, we are now facing an evil invasion, and if we are not careful, we may be destroyed." ”
Fatis frowned: "I didn't understand what you meant. ”
"Huh." Kant chuckled, slightly bitter.
Stretching out his hand and pointing in the direction of the north, Kant said: "It's in the depths of the Naren Desert, that's right, it's the devil's zone that those jackals say, but in fact, it's really the devil's zone, but it's not the unbearable heat, but the cold undead!" ”
"Undead?" Fatis was even more stunned, and after thinking in his mind for a moment, he spoke: "I have seen something like this, it is a group of... The dead who came back from the dead? ”
"That's right, that's the kind of thing."
Kant nodded and rubbed his temples with both hands: "This is really troublesome. ”
It's not just troublesome.
It's still a big trouble that can kill you!
If it is only said that those undead who are tireless and only have skeletons left are not enough to attract Kant's attention, but with the expanding canopy of death, it is especially important!
The Dome of Death is clearly corrosive and viral, as well as a massive cluster of negative status buffs in a wide range.
The Svadian Royal Knight, who has positive energy, can ignore it.
The Saarion Lion Knight, who can use negative energy and has a recovery effect, can only barely resist!
Apparently this is where the trouble comes in.
If it is an ordinary army, if there is no blessing from positive energy, then in the face of the death canopy of the undead negative energy cluster, in addition to its own combat effectiveness being weakened to the extreme, it will also lead to the collapse of the entire battle situation.
The Skeleton Warriors are at best comparable to the Swadia militia, but they are still better than the tireless.
If it's a battle formation.
That is, the two sides will face off on the same scale, and the Swadia militia will be able to defeat these undead skeleton warriors armed with tattered weapons and rusty armor, and they will also achieve total victory.
After all, flesh and blood with muscles and qi and blood are still strong in combat in a short period of time.
But the undead have a canopy of death.
And tireless.
It is completely possible to take advantage of the thick black clouds and mist to tirelessly attack the human forces.
What's more, the undead race is originally a numerical victory, and the skull sea tactics that spread all over the mountains and fields are like never-ending waves, trying to devour any creature that stands in their way.
The sum of the two equals the mutual increase of advantages.
Kant described to Fatis in detail what he knew.
This made Fatis, a nobleman from an alternate historical world, a little dumbfounded, but fortunately he quickly came to his senses and accepted the current setting.
After all, even the gnolls have seen it, and it is not difficult for these undead to accept it.
"I just think it's a little unbelievable."
Fatis smiled wryly.
Stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, looked at Kant and said: "According to what you mean, as human beings, we are in a serious vulnerable group, if those undead take the attack, in fact, even if they occupy the advantage of the city defense, it is equivalent to no advantage, and the final result is still defeated?" ”
"Perhaps, it's very likely." Kant nodded, this is a conclusion based on the information that is currently available, and it is not alarmist. Still, he sighed: "Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. ”
"It's really bad."
Fatis nodded, a little hesitant: "If those undead appear in our salt mines, maybe even if we send troops over, our troops will not be able to solve the dilemma of being pressed by the undead step by step." ”
"But without troops, we can only be captured." Kant frowned.
"Is there no solution?" Fatis frowned likewise.
"Not yet... No, there is a way. ”
Kant just wanted to deny it, but he thought of the statement of the mage apprentices, and suddenly changed his words: "There is a way, the mage apprentices claim that they may be able to study the positive energy in the solar disk. ”
"Solar disk?"
Fatis was slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned his head: "You mean the golden creation placed on the top of the bell tower?" ”
"That's right." Kant nodded.
The solar disc has always been installed on top of the bell tower.
The daily absorption and release of temperature can balance the temperature of the entire Consulate, giving people a comfortable feeling, just like a central air conditioner that can mediate the temperature difference.
Most people don't mind that, though.
It can only mediate the temperature difference, in fact, the effect of this solar disk is not as good as other strange objects.
For example, a page that summons elements, a banner that slows the morale of enemies, and a horn that increases the morale of your team.
These curiosities are much more useful.
The Elemental Gems obtained each week are a source of additional dinars.
In the past, when Kant was short of dinars, he relied on the elemental gems obtained from killing the elemental giants, which were exchanged for a lot of dinars, and he survived many difficult weeks before gaining more gains.
Embarrassingly, the current [Pages of Fertile Land] and [Pages of Clear Springs] are less effective.
Although a small amount of soil and fresh water can be obtained.
But the comparison of the land and spring veins given by the system is particularly pitiful.
The land given by the system is calculated in acres, and the sand layer in the ground has also been changed, so that about 3 meters is soil, not sand, so that an effective irrigation system can be formed.
Even the spring veins are connected to the water elemental plane, and fresh water is coming out all the time.
Hundreds of pounds of soil and gallons of fresh water are of no use to Kant at the moment, and even if he has killed the elemental giants, he doesn't bother to recycle the soil.
Look outside the city wall, a thin layer has been laid to cover the sand.
"Wait."
When Kant thought of this, he suddenly looked slightly stunned.
If those mages can study the solar disk, they can definitely study these two pages of strange things!
After all, at the bottom of the well, these two pages of strange objects were salvaged together with the solar disk, and depending on the level of the strange objects, perhaps these two page-like strange objects are not as good as the solar disk.
After all, the role of the page is only to summon elemental giants.
If the mages can study a deeper role, it may also help in the next battle.
Like the natural summons of mages.
Each time you can summon 5 stone golems with hammers, if you can increase the number of summons, or increase the combat power of stone golems, you can make up for the current dilemma encountered by Kant.
After all, the Stone Golem is a magical creation, not a flesh and blood body.
So the canopy of death doesn't do anything to them!
In this way, in wartime, if you can't solve the Death Canopy, you can send these stone golems to the field first, even if you can't solve those undead, at least it can slow down the speed of advancement.
Five months may seem like a long time, but in fact, when he arrived at the salt mine station in the fourth month, it was enough to deal a heavy blow to Kant.
After all, the current salt trade is Kant's main source of dinars!
With communication.
Fatis had also understood the gravity of the matter.
This is very serious indeed.
He solemnly reported to Kant: "The caravan led by Manid to the Forest of Fagon has returned, and it has just arrived at the castle yesterday evening, and it is estimated that the members of the caravan have finished resting at this time. ”
"Okay, let Manid come here." Kant nodded.
The Forest of Fagun is the area of the Lord of the Rings mod, which belongs to the world of magical fantasy.
There are guards who go to the 3rd floor to summon Manid.
While Kant was waiting, he couldn't help but sigh: "I hope to bring some surprises in the Fagong Forest." ”
In terms of magic, in fact, "Lord of the Rings Mod" is not a low-magic world, but a seemingly low-magic world, which actually belongs to the high-magic world, after all, those high gods, and legendary races, are not comparable to the low-magic world.
Even the creation of new races, the magic that can destroy the world, is present in the Lord of the Rings Mod.
For example, the strong orcs created by Saruman.
There is also the Lord Sauron, who can change the terrain alive and belong to the identity of the destroyer of the world.
Soon.
Manid stepped out of the room.
The sleepy eyes are still a little loose, but the whole person's spirit is restored.
"Lord Kant!" He saluted respectfully and happily reported, "I have led the caravan to a new world, which is different from Calradia and the Land of Miracles!" ”
