Chapter 174 2 Important Information
"Since Bard has handed you over to me, I am ready to lead you to achieve great things. I can talk to you about some things."
Through the teleportation stele outside the east gate of the royal capital, Abes led the Minqin people and instantly arrived at the main teleportation stele located in the strange space.
Such strange behavior really surprised them.
Teleporting magic items?
Although the Wenqiu people are more suited to be warriors in terms of talent, it does not mean that they know nothing about magic.
Teleportation magic is actually not uncommon in spell lists.
From the Phantom Steps that can be activated instantly with just a glance, to the various spells that can teleport people to known locations within a range of two hundred feet, five hundred feet, or even one thousand feet, and even opening passages to other worlds and dimensions, it is not a difficult task.
but……
Limits on the number of people, distance, information requirements, and even items carried cannot exceed a certain range or weight limit of the caster.
Therefore, for this group of Wenqiu people, they never thought that the so-called business trip could be accomplished by means of teleportation.
After all, there are many of them, and none of them are spellcasters. Some of them even have ponies unique to the Minqiu tribe.
This is definitely over the limit and overweight!
But they succeeded.
And it can be done with just an ordinary-looking, gray stone tablet?
What about the mages? What about the recharges?
What about the guidance of consciousness and the selection of correct goals?
"It looks really amazing." The jelly-like pony named Sweet Ice spoke up from under Mint's crotch.
The Wenqiu people seemed accustomed to the fact that their mounts spoke to them in the same tone as friends and relatives.
Only Abes was startled by this sudden change.
While he was staring at the jelly pony, the Minqing tribe was also studying this strange space.
Those energy supply arrays still attracted everyone's attention first.
However, after confirming that this thing was just a slightly larger functional device, they no longer cared about the rune groups that were slightly turned like venetian blinds.
After all, who would spend a lot of time staring at the battery compartment when getting a new toy?
There were exquisite runes engraved on the teleportation stele. The part of the rune that had just taken effect was still emitting a faint light, as if telling of its mysterious power.
The members of the Wenqiu tribe came one after another and soon surrounded the main teleportation stone tablet in the strange space, observing every detail curiously and trying to uncover its mystery.
And Abes waited until their excitement had died down before continuing.
"Since we are one of us, there are some things I can show you, and this is one of them."
"The teleportation stone tablet allows us to connect the two territories before we break through."
"Although we haven't tested large equipment yet, there should be no problem with personnel, as well as some small and ordinary items that they carry with them."
"And after I passed through it, I didn't lose these important things," Abes played with the bone flute around his neck and the half-sword on his waist, "which means that magic props and magic-infused weapons can also be brought over."
"I heard that the Wenqin people have special physiques. Although they are not good at magic, you are a very magical existence. Now it seems that no matter whether it is lizardmen, bugbears, humans, half-elves, or you, the Wenqin people, there will be no problem passing through this teleportation tablet."
As he spoke, Abes loosened his hand that was stroking the jelly pony.
Sure enough... just like what is described in the book, it feels exactly like a water bed or slime (the name of the decompression gel toy in real life) that is hard to let go.
I heard that the war forged are magical constructs, so are the Minqin people the magical ice cream, candy, jelly, or the famous North dish, cold slime?
"In short, being able to arrive here safely basically means that 99% of the work has been completed. The next step is to leave here and head to the destination."
While he was telling the story with great interest, Abess could not forget for a moment how he got this place.
After all, this thing... is a black box that is not understood, and it is a black box handed to them by the enemy. If it were not a pity to discard it, Abes would not bother to use it for logistics and personnel flow every day.
At the beginning, the bear goblin Kurgei passed through the trap set for them by the gods, and then discovered this place. It was also by accident that he discovered the use of the stone tablet in that strange space, which is that it has the function of creating and linking five teleportation targets.
Later, as the situation became urgent, Kronos mobilized almost all of his forces and saved Abes, who was about to die in the siege of the royal capital along with Tiefling Philip and others.
After that, although Abes had great doubts about this work from the gods, he had to release the permission to use it after repeated tests found no problems.
Because now they have no other means to connect the two territories of Sweet Leaf City and Royal Capital, and for the sake of development, planning and cooperation, geographical separation should never be allowed to exist for a long time.
If you want to get rich, build roads first; if you want to develop, you also have to build roads; even if you take a step back and just want to be a master of the status quo, you still have to build roads.
If not, why would the Seris government build roads through mountains and bridges over rivers?
"After we take down Raven Castle, maybe we can also include Mud City here... No, if we have already connected it by land, maybe we don't need to do that. The new space can be left for the more distant places we plan to take down in the future."
After introducing the connection and detailed information between the main teleportation stele and the one in the royal capital, he also led the Minqin people to place their hands on the main teleportation stele.
"Everyone, follow me and do the same as we just teleported from the capital..."
As consciousness becomes one, then go deeper.
Looking at the options flashing in front of him, Abes immersed his consciousness in them and selected Sweet Leaf City - as Sweet Leaf Town was upgraded to Sweet Leaf City, the name of the option on the main teleportation stele was automatically replaced.
Originally, when Kurge used it for testing, he built an option to go to his hometown in the East Desert, but that option was cancelled as early as the testing period.
Therefore, the options on the main teleportation stele are still Sweet Leaf City and Royal Capital.
In a flash, after a brief dizziness and the strange feeling as if the abdomen was being pulled out and then hanging on a hook disappeared, Abes arrived at Sweet Leaf City with the Minqin people.
----------
After arriving at Sweetleaf City, without bothering to let the Minqin tribe marvel at the changes between Sweetleaf Town and Sweetleaf City, Abes took them directly to the vicinity of Li Ya Castle.
During the entire process, the female warrior of the Minqiu tribe named Bohe never relaxed her brows.
You know it without having to think about it.
After witnessing the changes in the royal capital, the existence of the teleportation stele, and the changes in Sweetleaf Town, she must have continued to criticize the investigators' irresponsibility in her heart.
"We can already see Raven Castle."
With this group of strange races, Abes finally arrived around the Raven Castle.
"Once the other side starts attacking, it will be our turn to perform."
"Just attack directly. Aren't you worried about General Paddy?" Mint asked himself.
After the lady from the Minqin tribe came closer, Abes began to understand the meaning of her name - she did indeed smell like mint candy.
The solidified hair looked like piled-up frosting, like a piece of garbage modeling in a low-quality game.
But for a unique race like the Minqiu, this is a very normal situation.
Blinking his eyes, Abes did not distract himself with these trivial thoughts, but turned to explain to the people of the Minqiu tribe, "This is the second important information I want to tell you besides the teleportation stele, which is about General Paddy's situation."
When dealing with the Lizard Giant and General Paddy that day, Abes originally thought that he, who had hidden his monk rank, would be blown to death directly by activating the runes he had left on his body.
But no one expected that a dragon roar would be heard at the critical moment.
Afterwards, Abes heard neither the expected explosion nor the roar of the dragon.
The people sent over did not find any signs of an explosion or a dragon landing or taking off.
Missing.
General Paddy is missing.
This is the worst case.
If he were alive, Abes would be confident that he could recruit him as a talented general, and he would also have a way to make the army crowded in the Raven Castle more inclined to surrender;
Even if he died, Abes could find a way to use General Paddy's head to persuade them to surrender.
In both situations, the results will not change. The former relies on the compromise in human nature, while the latter relies on the fear and timidity in human nature.
But he just disappeared.
Therefore, Abes needs to send someone to keep an eye on the situation in Raven Castle during this period of time.
And this stare...
Good news, we didn't see General Paddy returning to Raven Castle.
Bad news, a more worrying problem for Abes has been uncovered.
Before explaining the trouble, let me ask a simple question.
How to capture a military castle?
Encirclement, consumption, psychological warfare, attacking the enemy's plans, using spies... these are the best approaches.
Attacking the enemy is often the last option, but Abes did it anyway because nothing else was possible.
After all, Raven Castle has shown its extraordinary qualities in the past week or two.
In other warlord eras, when the leader took elite officers out and was captured and never came back, what would usually happen in such a territory?
Divided, endlessly divided, just like the devil's curse that had afflicted the North where they were.
Fighting for power and gaining power.
I'm afraid it won't have much impact because there is only one huge castle and no more territory.
In historical stories, countless similar possibilities were ruined by the death of their leaders.
It should have been like this...
But there is none in Ravenhold!
"I think you can understand what I'm worried about... General Paddy has integrated nearly a quarter of the country's military strength. Now, after he and his elite officers disappeared for almost two weeks, this force has remained surprisingly stable."
"There was no fighting, no mutiny, no fires or flag-grabbing."
"Or, they are a high-quality team that can continue to operate stably even if they lose their chief commander and most of the middle-level officers and lose contact with the command level. This shows that General Paidi is good at training soldiers."
In front of Abes's eyes, there was a lone loyal person in the northwest.
"But I think it's unlikely. When he confronted me that day, he and his officers didn't perform very well, and they were also very harsh on the workers."
"Either... there are some fierce people among them that I can't imagine, or [venomous]."
Abes did not continue speaking, and at this moment, the Minqiu people also remained silent.
Everyone understood why they had to launch a powerful attack now.
----------
After showing two important pieces of information, a teleportation tablet and the whereabouts of General Paddy, the Minqiu people were obviously no longer so resistant to Abes.
A means of transporting large numbers of people at a very low cost and in a very short time;
It may be information about the whereabouts of General Paidi, the biggest warlord in the small kingdom of Łomza.
Being willing to reveal this important information is a very rare trust.
Moreover, whether serving Lord Bard or Lord Abes in front of him, it is all about defeating the warlord forces entrenched in the northeast corner of the small kingdom.
This will definitely be useful for Lord Bard to protect [that thing].
Live and work in peace and contentment...
Is there anything that can better fit the definition of these four words than the bustling new city area of the royal capital, or the Sweetleaf city area under construction?
Just fight and don't worry about the future.
----------
Closer.
The Crow Castle was not blind. During their routine patrols and by sending some people out for reconnaissance and intelligence, they had already discovered the army coming from the direction of Mud City.
Therefore, early in the morning, the atmosphere on the walls of Raven Castle suddenly became tense.
"The Slime City is fighting without declaration? They are really tired of living..."
"Damn it, I want to attack, but the order doesn't allow me to..."
But the exciting thoughts of going out into battle and achieving great things stop at a certain point.
The measures they had set up before, such as the barricades, were completely useless.
Because after discovering these defenses, they sent a group of people over to clean them up.
A group of people wearing studded leather armor, with standard long swords hanging on their waists, but spewing flames, were doing the cleanup.
Trick: Fire Arrow.
Continuous balls of fire gushed out, and the ignited facilities collapsed and burned in the desolate snow of the northern border.
A group of mages?
A row of mages?
Such a large group of mages?
The defenders on the city wall nervously prepared the city defense crossbows and cannons, and at the same time swallowed their saliva and sent back a message with great difficulty using flag signals.
[Apply for use of city defense force field].
