Chapter 801 Meeting (Part I)
The sudden war disrupted Henry's original plan, but fortunately, the Floating City was now ready to take off, so if the purpose of the Ghost City was to destroy it, it would undoubtedly fail miserably.
Also as a floating city, there is an essential difference between using the "core of mishera" as the power core and using the "core of the secret law" as the core, the former is extremely dependent on the magic net, once the energy extracted exceeds the upper limit of the magic net, then the floating city is in danger of falling, similar accidents have happened many times in the era of Nessryl.
And the latter itself has an independent energy core, even if the magic network collapses, it will not affect too much, and it can still continue to fly, so Olympus City has an absolute advantage in this regard.
It is precisely because of this that Henry has the intention of taking the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, because he knows very well that Revalan is definitely still hiding the last means that has not been tried, and it is very likely that he will directly teleport the Netherworld back to the main plane to attack, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to completely destroy a city that can accommodate about 60,000 people.
You must know that Olympus City is probably ten times the size of Netherworld City in terms of area and volume. After all, a mountain peak is limited in size, while artificially constructed can be much larger.
Aside from the surface covered with a layer of dirt, the interior of Olympus City is full of the hardest granite, and the magic below level 8 is at most a small pit, and the only way to destroy it is to use "fossils into mud" on a large scale.
However, with such a large area, it would be difficult for even the mage group of the Yin Soul City to succeed, so with the help of the infinite energy of the Floating City itself, it became the only option. When attacking, the Netherworld will inevitably return from the shadow plane to the main plane. And this time is the best time to hit the other party hard.
In order to ensure that the temporary change becomes planned to be carried out smoothly. Henry immediately summoned everyone to the palace, which had been converted from the former Duke's Palace. Even a pregnant Silky was present in the conference room.
He didn't have any nonsense, and directly threw the information on the table and said with a stern expression: "Since the people have arrived, then I will make a long story short." Maybe some of you already know who the enemy is, and maybe some of you are still in the dark, but that's okay, and now I can tell you for sure that for a long time to come, the last floating city left over from the Nethril era, the Netherworld, will be our main enemy. The recent turmoil in the city also has something to do with them. ”
"Ghost City?!" Debra's face changed slightly when she heard the name. "Master, you mean the Grand Arcanist Terramante...... Became a ...... Our enemies?!! ”
As a protective mage, she knows very well the last history of the Nessera era, and also understands what the Great Arcanist means, this name is definitely much higher than the gold content of the legendary mage in modern times, directly controlling and manipulating the primordial magic energy and using the convenient magic net spells, the difficulty is completely different, plus the floating city itself and the huge mage group, maybe only the elven high-level mages on the Eternal Gathering Island can be compared.
Henry nodded slightly and explained, "That's right, it's not just the Tanshur father and son and the Netherworld City. The Goddess and her Church standing behind them are also likely to join in at any time, so be ye prepared. This will be a protracted confrontation. ”
Floating City vs. Floating City, normally it is difficult for both sides to completely eliminate each other, so he intends to teach the other party a lesson of hatred, and then firmly control the initiative in his own hands, otherwise, once Yin Ghost City starts to use the scorched earth policy, then the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Your Majesty, do we need to adjust our policies so that the kingdom's power is tilted in the direction of war?" Hawke, who was in charge of the interior, raised his own top concerns.
In order to allow the population to grow explosively, the administrative system has continuously encouraged farmers to reclaim the land, vigorously promoted excellent seeds, new agricultural tools, more scientific farming and fertilization methods, and reduced a large number of taxes.
"No, it's not necessary for the time being, and the battle with Yin Ghost City won't affect civilians yet."
Without hesitation, Henry replied in the negative. He was very aware of the damage that the imperial order would cause to the country's credit, and after this fight, he believed that the Ghost City should not be able to recover within a few years, and there was no need to adjust the current policy at all.
Borken took a deep breath and asked with a frown, "Have you really thought it through?" Want to fight with the Floating City? ”
"That's right, since Revaran wants to play, I'll have fun with him. The Northern Wywood City has now become the focus, so I think it is better to let the Floating City appear there directly, because only in this way will the Yin Soul City be relieved to boldly return from the shadow plane in advance, as long as they grasp this opportunity to give them a heavy blow, and then they will not be left alone in the next few years. After saying that, a sneer appeared on Henry's face.
"Although Olympus City has completed the laying of the Lost Lock and the Energy Teleportation Device, it will take at least a month to actually put it into actual combat, are you sure that Wywood City will last that long?" Borken is obviously not optimistic about the defense capabilities of the orcs, especially since there are so many enemies that the use of human piles alone can turn an entire city into a dead city.
The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, and he explained playfully: "It won't last that long, as long as I hand over the two things to you, Olympus City can be put into actual combat." In addition, I will not just watch the monster coalition besiege the city, and some necessary assistance will still be sent. ”
"Two things? You mean the flying platform and those weird metal coils? Borken asked, slightly confused.
"That's right, that's it." Henry nodded. "With the current construction efficiency, two weeks is almost enough, right?"
Without even thinking about it, Borken gave the answer: "Enough, I can guarantee the completion in twelve days." ”
"In that case, the plan for the counterattack is set for twelve days, so that the mage group is ready, and it will be a difficult opportunity to fight the remnants of the Nethrel era." After saying this, Henry gave Borken a look, and the latter immediately understood, stood up and bowed, turned and left the conference room, and went to the construction site to preside over the construction work.
Vaughn, the half-orc warrior who had been waiting for a long time, could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart, and opened his mouth and laughed and asked, "Head!" Is there really a hundred thousand enemies? My blood is now boiling all over my body! Let me go and have a good time! ”
For legendary warriors, it is extremely difficult to take a step forward, and they must go through the most brutal battles to put their lives on the line in order to sublimate their martial arts, and war, especially large-scale dogfights, is definitely the best testing ground, and some madmen are even willing to participate in the largest and longest war in the entire multiverse - bloody war in order to break through themselves.
Vaughn is in his thirties this year, although his body and lifespan have been strengthened by a certain degree after being promoted to a legendary warrior, he is not satisfied, and he wants to continue to climb to the top of the martial arts all the time, so he naturally will not let go of such a big battle that can be regarded as unprecedented in the history of the entire continent.
Looking at his subordinates and friends who have followed him for nearly ten years, the corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly: "Then what are you waiting for?" Grab your weapons and armor and go, I can't think of any reason to stop a passionate warrior. Also, the leader of the Horde Alliance is called One-Eyed Lonte, a living legend in the Supreme Wasteland, and it is said that he is also a legendary warrior, defeat him and bring it to me, no problem, right? ”
"Hahahaha!" Vaughn burst out laughing. "No problem! Head! I guarantee in my honor that it will not be long before him kneels before you. ”
After saying that, he let out an excited roar, strode towards the direction of the barracks, and prepared to arrive directly from the portal of the mage tower after he was ready to be neatly clothed.
Looking at the appearance of the half-orc warrior, Henry couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Ten years later, he still hasn't changed at all." Debra, you should also go to the front with him, although Vaughn has the ability to recover, I am still a little worried about him. Remember to bring the Terminator with you, just in case, and help me keep an eye on Eren by the way. ”
"Understood, I will secretly protect both of them." Debra didn't hesitate, immediately stood up and bowed.
"Well, it's enough to protect their lives, there's no need to provide magical assistance to Wywood City, and unless the other party breaches the city gates, continue to keep the tug-of-war going on. I need that city now to draw the enemy firmly in, knowing that this is an opportunity to completely deal with all the primitive tribes of the Supreme Wasteland, and I don't want to miss it. ”
Henry didn't intend to spare so much free labor, 100,000 slaves who could be used to death, and with their infrastructure for the entire West Hartland area could begin, especially the poor public transportation, it really needed a good rest.
After Debra left the conference room, Hawke also hurriedly got up to say goodbye, as the prime minister of the kingdom, he had countless official documents to sign every day, there was not much time to waste, and an enemy like Netherworld could not help much with his strength.
Now the only people in the entire conference room are Amy, Fed, Silky, Sheena, the dragon lady, and finally Robert, who has been gloomy.
The leader of the thieves has been in a very bad mood these days, because the assassination master of the Netherworld has played him around, and with the ability to freely shuttle through the shadow plane, the other party raided two strongholds in the guild in a few days, causing several deaths and more than 20 injuries.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that he himself is not sitting at the headquarters, after all, Henry gave him a round-the-clock monitoring mission, so he can't get away for the time being.
After a long silence, Shi Kodi finally couldn't help but ask, "My dear, what is the purpose of calling me here today?" I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm afraid I can't help much when it comes to dealing with powerful enemies. ”
"It's not about asking you to help, it's about letting you know where you're now." As he spoke, Henry winked at the leader of the thieves. "Explain to my queen, Robert, she doesn't know that she is being targeted by the enemy." (To be continued......)
