The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 273: Rare good news, the Ether Gate again

Abes originally planned to decide on the next course of action based on the feedback from the messenger after returning to the capital.

But what he never expected was that even though he already had a qualified means of communication, he even left a transceiver of the same model as his own in the hands of the messenger.

However, Kronos and his companions, who were able to contact themselves, could not receive any feedback from the messenger.

This means that Abes's next move will still be like a blind man groping in the dark.

"There's no other way. I can only speed up the progress here."

Now that the witch has been dealt with, I guess the matter of Carterburg can be declared over.

I have been stuck in this place for nearly a week. I just hope that by dealing with the witch and resisting the plague, I can create a [Thousand Slashes] with enough reputation and weight.

However, after returning to the royal capital, good news came.

The Lizardman warriors sent back from the fertile land in the south have achieved results.

Not only have they established the corresponding management and organizational levels, they have also actively organized those lizardmen who are willing to side with the small kingdom of Womuza. At the same time, in accordance with Abes's request, they did not make things difficult for those unwilling compatriots and allowed them to return to the Eastern Wilderness on their own.

When hearing the news, Abes clearly felt that the part of divine power belonging to Sass suddenly jumped in his body, as if reminding him of something.

And Abes also replied in his consciousness in a rather rogue manner, [If you have the guts, don't provide me with divine power. I will go to ask Gruumsh, or find another god to write to. Grandma Agatha, the nun of the goddess of luck Tymora, is nearby. I will go to be baptized right away! ]

After this response, the power of the God of Humanity finally stabilized.

Perhaps in the eyes of this god of the human race and the god of perfection who radiates golden light, it is a sin for him, as a leader, to want to share the land with other races.

However, specific situations must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

If it was an unreasonable alien species that suddenly broke in and carried out a bloody killing, then Abes would definitely fight back in equal measure.

Just like the goblins encountered in the underground of Sweet Leaf Town and the red hats encountered in Shirai Tea House, they were also humanoid creatures, but they were killed by Abes every time.

Because they don't want to live a good life, but instead worship the gods, plan rituals and conspiracies, or work for a witch.

However, the Lizardmen themselves are a civilized tribe.

It was because of the instigation of Great Elder Paospa, coupled with the inhumane means used by General Paddy during foreign wars, that the Lizardmen, who originally had extremely active trade with the small kingdom of Wommza, became what they are now.

And now that the capital has changed, it is not impossible to rebuild friendly exchanges and even establish a joint rule - Abes' goal is to become the king of kings, so how could he limit his rule to the north?

According to the feedback from that group of lizardmen warriors, the proportion of those who agreed to join their tribe was actually very high.

On the one hand, it is because the Lizardmen themselves are not a race good at farming.

You have occupied the fertile land in the south but do not have the ability to develop it accordingly. Now that other people's armies and combat capabilities have been reorganized, they are willing to give you face and let you withdraw voluntarily. If you don't leave, are you waiting to be beaten?

On the other hand, it was also because the preferential treatment offered by Abes was really tempting.

As long as they cooperate, we are willing to help with development, construction, grant citizenship and assign jobs to them according to their abilities!

As for the active agreement of the Lizardmen, Abes could understand it, because the feudal dynasties had suppressed the productivity of the tribal tribes in a great degree.

What's more, because of the existence of magic and the driving force of the assembly line concept and magic engine brought by Abes, the productivity of this feudal dynasty may actually be on the verge of industrialization.

Who doesn’t want to live a good life?

The latter one seemed a bit abstract to Abes.

"Assigning jobs based on ability..." Looking at the tall and strong stats of the lizardmen, Abes also held his forehead, "Generally speaking, this situation is called conscription in human civilization."

But the lizardmen seemed to not care at all?

Aren't you worried about the decline in your quality of life? Being a soldier is not something you can enjoy.

"No, it's precisely because they care about their quality of life that they choose this." Kronos said with a smile, and then added, "You may not know that the lizardmen, who have to face the pressure of life and combat survival at the same time, are extremely envious of the full-time recruitment system."

"After hearing from the lizardmen warriors about the high salaries that you, Lord Abes, have decided on for the soldiers, they are all very excited."

"The tombstones you prepared for the dead and wounded soldiers in the capital were also envied by the lizardmen."

"If you hadn't emphasized that we should proceed step by step, and that we were not going to invade but were sincerely asking for unification and unity, I'm afraid they would have already turned around and attacked our hometown in the East Desert."

After quickly flipping through the several briefings that Kronos took out, Abes finally nodded.

"It's okay, take your time. When it comes to expanding territory, don't always resort to violence."

The joint rule, placing the small kingdom of Wommza and the dragon-slaying tribe under the command of Abes, was actually a form of invisible territorial expansion.

The high salaries of the soldiers, the conscription system that was independent of production, the real concern for the soldiers' safety, and the tombstones built in the capital of a country that gave them a sense of honor, all of these had a great impact on the Lizardmen.

These are actually the means to achieve cultural and economic victory, and they are the means to achieve development without any action.

"However, although you have arranged for the lizardmen warriors to restrain themselves and not directly attack their fellow tribesmen who have fled back to the East Wilderness, they still cannot hide their desire to fight."

"On the day the news came back, they took the initiative to gather into a team and gave a righteous beating to the few Lizardmen who were unwilling to leave here and return to the East Wilderness but still occupied the real estate."

"Moreover, they have also immediately organized a team and want to go north to obey your orders and join the battle again as quickly as possible."

As for the following pieces of information, each one more important than the last, Abes couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"These lizardmen can't sit still even if they are sent back to farm. They are indeed a fighting nation..."

In this regard, Kronos also sighed, "Yes, and heading north again... Won't this scare the citizens enough?"

"Or, I do believe in the group of lizardmen who were persuaded by Anivia, and I also believe in your dominance and personal charm, Lord Abes, but I don't believe in the lizardmen who joined later. What if those who went north become extortionists again? What should I do then?"

However, as he listened, a possible thought came to Abes's mind.

Now that there is no reply from the messenger sent out, is it possible to let the lizardmen attack from the south to find out the truth about the person in the west who is requesting the title of marquis?

Of course, continuing the fighting style of occupying territory and taking advantage of others as before is definitely not what Abes wants.

He just didn't want to be Xier in another world, but he wouldn't hire others to beat him up.

"Write back and tell them that I have received their request to join the battle."

"Hey!" The silver-haired girl raised her head.

However, after hearing Abes's next sentence, her emotions stabilized again.

"However, they can only set off after a group of instructors I have specially sent arrive. The instructors can be selected from among Gaviling's men."

The instructor is from Gaviling...

So what they need to do is not only to establish a profession that existed in the small kingdom of Wommza in the past, that of warlord; they also need to spread the several disciplines proposed by Lord Abes to the ranks of the Lizardmen.

"Kronos, please produce more magic radio stations. You know what to do."

After a brief hesitation, the silver-haired girl's eyes lit up.

Use specially assigned instructors to continue promoting the rules originally set by Lord Abes in order to transform the lizardmen's team.

With these ideological and moral norms and behavioral safeguards, they can ensure that the Lizardmen warriors actually become their own strength, rather than a destructive, aggressive force.

Afterwards, they used the magic radio to facilitate communication and contact while ensuring that the above requirements could be executed - ultimately achieving true control over the Lizardmen's combat power.

She should have thought of it earlier. There are not only ways to gather troops in this world, such as recruiting and training from scratch, but also the simplest way, such as reorganization.

However, reorganization under traditional circumstances is actually a kind of compromise, a means of appeasing and winning over local tyrants.

It just makes Ming the power of the other party, and puts it in a level and shell that can be commanded.

However, this situation does not apply to Lord Abes's arrangement.

With the instructors and magic radio stations linked together, the Lizardman warriors will become a real force that can be utilized.

Yes, as a brave warrior who liberated thousands of intelligent races, how could the warriors under his command be limited to the humans of the small kingdom of Wommza?

The military strength in the east is not enough now, so the safest option is to defend the east.

And if we can transform the Lizardmen team into an equally loyal and great team, then we can launch a formal test against the so-called Marquis in the west.

If the so-called Marquis in the west does not have much strength, then after his territory is taken over by the Lizardmen, with the help of those specially appointed instructors, his camp will quickly change and become a territory that obeys Abes and the guidance of the royal capital.

And what if that guy in the west has the strength?

Then it is time for the newly joined lizardmen to exert their strength for the journey of the King of Kings.

----------

After arranging everything, Abes took the body of the witch and used the blessing of the Holy Blessing to return to the vicinity of Carter Castle.

After seeing Abes reappear, Crimson, who had arrived here a long time ago, also used the power of the red dragon to make fire clouds appear in the sky.

"Is this the ability to send out a signal red cloud that you mentioned? It's really conspicuous. What kind of ability is that? Give me one next time." Abes teased the red-haired child who had been waiting here for half a day.

The Red Dragon was completely speechless about this.

"...Boss, I followed you as if I wanted you to teach me, why are you asking me to teach you something?"

After a pause, Crimson continued.

"I can't teach you. It's natural. Besides, this isn't really a signal cloud. It's a whole magma rain cloud summoned by the red dragon's natural spell. It's only because I'm concentrating on controlling it that it's not dripping down."

Abes glanced at this with great envy.

Can he casually summon a whole piece of magma hanging high in the sky? It really is worthy of being a magical creature like a dragon.

Before, Crimson said that he is slightly weaker than himself when he broke through the floating island and killed the giant with one blow. Could he be kidding himself?

"Okay, then take it easy. If you are sure you see something, just disperse and don't cause any damage."

A moment later, Soran, Ivan and Bairenchou, who received the signal, all used their arm and wrist strength, as well as a batch of city defense equipment owned by Carterburg, to throw them towards the dense forest outside the city wall.

During the whole process, Abes used his divine power to maintain his defense. After dodging this round of bombings, he leisurely brought Crimson to a position on the wall of Carterburg where he could be seen.

Just imagine, when you knew the explosive power of the grenade and threw it yourself, and then you saw the adult who planned all this dragging out a monster corpse that was obviously bombarded.

How can you not believe that this is the trouble you solved with your own hands?

This is why Abes went to so much trouble to give them his trump card of grenade.

The conclusions drawn from doing things by oneself are always impressive. After they carried out the work themselves, it was completely impossible for them to imagine that Abes had actually teleported to another place and stopped for a long time.

As for the exposure of the grenade, it actually did not remind people of the capital. The generation gap in magic technology was not a little bit, and the current explosive technology in the capital was still at the level of the infamous light explosion particles.

"Solved...solved?" The leader of Carterburg, Ivan Root, felt relieved instantly.

"It's actually a witch!" As a knowledgeable hunter who also has some knowledge of monsters, Soran finally shouted out the enemy's name after witnessing the scene when the power of fate had lost its effect.

"What about my memory? Have you asked about it?" Bai Renchou was asking about things related to himself.

At Bai Renchou's reminder, Soran and Ivan immediately asked, "Right, what about the missing people?"

In response, Abes waved his hand boldly.

"It's okay. When I lured Aunt Vanna away, I asked Anivia to steal the house. She should have found what she needed and is back now."

Just as he finished speaking, a blond half-elf druid came over, stepping on the flowers and plants.

What she was holding in her hands was a large pile of things tied up with magical vines and straw ropes.

As Abes expected, the harvest was fruitful.

However, the expression on her face was serious.

"Master Qian Zhongzhan... come here, I have something to say."

After walking a few steps away and coming to a place where the three people couldn't hear her, Anivia dropped a bombshell news.

"Lord Abes, I saw an etheric gate inside the hag's lair."
