Chapter 680: War Preparations

This set is aimed at Joan. Irenikas's plan can be said to have gone through Henry's brain countless times, every detail, every choice of allies, and even the targets that may be co-opted by the enemy have been carefully calculated, although it cannot be said to be perfect, but it is also difficult to find too obvious loopholes.

After all, both sides are legendary mages with superior intelligence, and it is absolutely impossible to make any low-level mistakes, so in the end, they can only show their real strength to fight hard, and whoever survives can get a qiΔ“.

Trist knew that this was not his specialty, so he nodded and asked no more, and after half an hour, he headed south with four other companions, and the dwarf Bruno did not quarrel anymore to find the lost war hammer, perhaps everyone had already wound up their minds, and there was no time to care about those inconsequential matters.

After seeing the Mithril Five leave, Jasila lowered her voice and said to Henry, "You have made a wise choice, Trist and his partners have solved many difficult crises, and with their help, the success of the plan is a little more certain. ”

"No, that's just the beginning, and I've been able to invite more allies than you think. Let's go, there's a Joan in Askatra. Irenikas' minions need to be dealt with. After saying that, Henry smiled meaningfully, and then led the team to set off again.

On the way, he quietly came to Robert's side and whispered: "Now I will give you a mission, immediately return to the island of AncomΓ©, let the barbarian guards and the mage regiment go to the sea of Ascatra to stand by, and let Debra, your sister Amy, Vaughn, and Borken also follow, and bring all the golems and Ares." We're going to fight a real magic war this time. ”

"Understood! But don't you really need me to pull some good players from the guild? Robert was clearly a little worried about the lack of manpower. As far as he knew. Both of these monster armies numbered in the thousands. Even if the troops are drawn from the territory, it still seems a little weak.

Henry understood the subtext and shook his head slightly: "There is no need for this, the main role of the guild is to infiltrate and transmit intelligence, as for the battle, let more professional people come." Oh, by the way, send Alan back to the Lord's Mansion, and the provincial poet is terrified. ”

Hearing that he was going to send himself back, the boy immediately stood up and asked excitedly, "Father." Can't I really stay? I'm afraid it's hard to see a magic war on a scale like this again, so I want to experience it for myself. ”

"I'm sorry, son, but not this time. The enemy is far more powerful than I think, and I can't afford to take care of you. Go back and comfort your mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, and I promise that you will be allowed to travel after this war is over. After saying that, Henry touched his son's head, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.

If there was one surprise he had on this trip to the underground, it was Allen's rapid growth. This boy has already shown terrifying magical talent and learning ability at this moment, and believes that he will definitely be able to easily cross the threshold of level ten and become an awesome mage in the next few years.

Maybe wait until the plot of Neverwinter Nights begins. It's entirely possible to try to involve him in it, it's a kind of exercise. At the same time, it can also have the effect of confusing the enemy. After all, the Neverwinter Night Plague event and the exploration of the Floating City all happened at about the same time, so it was important to make arrangements to ensure that no one was missed.

After experiencing the inhumane torture in the dark elf city, Alan has obviously matured a lot, and knows that this kind of thing can't help himself, so he has to nod helplessly: "I know, I will go home and live for a few days, waiting for your triumphant return." ”

"Don't tell your mother anything about the kidnapping, I don't want to hear her cry when I go home, and if you satisfy me, then return an unexpected gift." As he spoke, Henry winked at his own head thieves.

Robert took a deep breath, his body hormones swelled and changed, and the golden dragon scales instantly covered his skin, turning into a majestic golden dragon in the blink of an eye. He stretched out his paws to put the boy on his back, then flapped his wings vigorously and slowly flew high into the air, in the direction of Angome Island.

Allen, who was riding on the dragon's back for the first time, was slightly excited, a faint flush appeared on his originally fair skin, and he waved his hand vigorously and shouted: "Don't worry, father, I know how to deal with my mother, and promise that she won't know anything that is going on underground." ”

It didn't take long for the dragon with a faint golden light to shimmer all over its body and disappear into the distance. At Robert's current flight speed, it is estimated that he will be able to reach Angomy in a few hours, and if he is a little faster, he may even be able to catch lunch. As for safety, Henry was not at all worried, because there was no creature on the sea that could threaten a divine golden dragon.

"You sent your son home?" Amon leaned over with some curiosity and asked.

"Yes, he doesn't have enough to be involved in this game, and we need some reinforcements too, do we?" Henry blinked slightly, then returned to the front of the line.

Hearing the word reinforcements, Apodell's eyes lit up and hurriedly asked, "You have mobilized the army again, right?" It's like assaulting Shalovok at Baldur's Gate! ”

Henry smiled and shook his head: "No, it's completely different. Joan. Irenikas is not like Shalofok, who is helpless against targets from the air. As a legendary mage, he can easily blast down threats from the air with spells, so airships can only be used as a means of transport, not as a weapon. This war must be fought hard in the early stages, and legendary magic cannot be unleashed in the elven city, so the ground troops and dragons are the real workhorses. ”

"Can't we just rush in and kill Joan. Irenikas? A magical war of this magnitude would cause great damage, and countless lives would die as a result. Solaufen's tone was full of pain and confusion. He had seen the tremendous destructive power of war with his own eyes not long ago, and he knew very well what kind of destructive power it contained.

"Sorry, I'm afraid that won't work. Joan. Irenikas' style of doing things may seem crazy, but every step is actually carefully considered. It simply won't leave us with such an opportunity. There's no need to think too much about it now. Let's go back to Ascatra and recuperate. I still have a lot of work to do. After saying that, Henry closed his mouth and led the team quickly forward without saying a word.

Following the only road to the north, the men carefully bypassed the mighty army of monsters, followed through the Broken Tooth Mountains, across the Esmir River, through Psu, Cremur, and finally turned west to Askatra, the capital of gold.

Although they travel almost day and night. Except for stopping to rest for a while when I was extremely tired, most of the rest of the time was on the road, but it still took three whole days. As soon as he passed through the city gates, Ammon yawned and complained, "Ah...... I'm so tired, I really want to take a good shower and get a good night's sleep now. And, of course, a hearty meal. ”

"Yes, it would have been perfect if there were a few more jugs of good wine." As he spoke, Apodale licked his lips.

None of the people had eaten any decent meals in the past few days, only hard jerky and bread, just in case of accidents. Henry even forbade alcohol. Suffice it to say, each of them is now a little overtired plus malnourished. Although the physique of professionals is stronger than that of ordinary people, there are limits.

"Haha! We have gold now, and we can even buy an entire tavern to drink if we want. I can't wait to enjoy it now, especially the special service of the Copper Crown Hotel is always so unforgettable. Kogan said vigorously patting the leather bag that held the money on his back.

Although most of the remuneration paid by Yinlong is still lying in Henry's dimensional bag, it still has a lot of it, because everyone's weight-bearing capacity is different, ranging from a few thousand to one or two thousand. The dwarf's huge leather pocket contained dozens of kilograms of gold coins, and it was no problem to buy a tavern.

However, at such a time, it was obvious that it was impossible for Henry to let anyone out of his sight, so he did not hesitate to interrupt Kogan's plan: "Don't even think about it, everyone must follow me back to the Elatan Mansion today, and as for the entertainment, we will talk about it tomorrow." These are critical times, and I don't want any surprises. ”

"Excuse me, excuse me...... I'm afraid I'll have to leave the team for a couple of hours right now. Jasila suddenly stood up and said hesitantly. Her eyes were fixed on a masked man in leather armor at the end of the street, who looked likely to be a member of the Harpists' League.

Henry knew very well that an espionage organization like the Harpists League had a very strict internal system, and once they lost contact, they had to be interrogated, so he just nodded slightly: "No problem, go and go back quickly, I think they should tell you the location of the Elatan Mansion." Also, if someone asks to see me, I refuse to do so. ”

"You don't seem to be worried at all that I'm going to tell everything?" Jasila asked, puzzled.

"Why worry? I wasn't going to hide anything from me. Go ahead, that friend of yours seems to be waiting impatiently. Finally, one more piece of advice, the factions within the Harpist League are very complex, and it is best not to get involved lightly unless necessary, otherwise it will lead to endless trouble. After speaking, Heng glanced at the spy hiding in the corner with cold eyes, and walked towards the administrative district with the others without looking back.

Jasila stood there for a long time, never understanding what she meant.

Warn? It doesn't sound like it, because there is no hint of threat between the words.

Hint?

Discord?

Just when she was confused, a masked man in leather armor suddenly appeared behind her, lowered his voice and urged: "Don't stand stupidly, follow up, many people are waiting for you to tell you what happened during the time you disappeared." ”

"Of course, it's my responsibility and at the same time my obligation. Lead the way, I hope you don't be too surprised to hear it. With that, Jasila put on her hood and followed closely, and after a few turns, she disappeared into the rush of people.
