After leaving Cecilia and arranging all kinds of back-ups, Bai Xiaowen took the rest of the White Phoenix team and left the Kane plane early.

This time it took nearly three days, and the final result was quite satisfactory.

Successfully thwarted the unification plan of the Divine Court Training Camp, and then predicted that they would defect to the Lord of the Plague.

As long as they can't make a big event in the Northland, they can't trigger the new main quest, and the time limit of the spirit world rules will forcibly expel these Divine Court Awakened Ones.

There are less than two days left in the Kane plane of the permanent fiefdom order, so you have to save some time. In case the situation is not right, Bai Xiaowen will desperately expose his identity, and he must also participate in the war to turn the tide.

Cecilia's information again and again is good news.

Nicholas IV did not break his promise, and immediately after returning to the imperial capital, he issued an order to recruit the top masters of various industries to support the construction of the frontier, that is, the Northland.

With the temptation of titles and fiefdoms, many top masters of the sub-profession were tempted and began to sign up one after another to join White Rock City.

It is worth mentioning that the masters who signed up are all middle-aged people in their forties and in the prime of life. Those who are too young have not yet touched the threshold of the master, and those who are too old want to live a comfortable life and are unwilling to go to the north to suffer and suffer.

This is also good news for Bai Xiaowen.

Masters in their forties are at the peak of their careers, and may be weaker in terms of apprenticeship, but their exquisite skills and exuberant energy can bring more profits to the territory.

The premise of knighthood is to "accept apprentices and become teachers". As for the criteria for becoming a master, at least a quasi-master who can craft standard gold equipment (or high-level magic scrolls and the like) is sufficient.

Teach the disciples to slow down, anyway, before the apprentices come out, these masters have to serve the white stone collar, and it is better for the disciples not to be teachers.

Moreover, the master certainly does not go alone, and often brings some assistants, family members, and customary tools and equipment. It is no exaggeration to say that the arrival of a master means that an industry in White Rock City has a nearly complete system.

In addition, Nicholas IV also strongly supported the construction of the Northland, sending a large number of supplies to the Northland from the Central Hub Province every day.

I have to say that His Majesty the Emperor is still very interesting.

Of course, Nicholas IV did this, not simply because of Bai Xiaowen's relationship, but also because in the next stage, the Northland will become the main battlefield against the Lord of the Plague. The stronger the Northlands, the more time Nicholas IV had to push through reforms and clean up the mess left by the old-fashioned aristocracy.

And as time passed, the bad news finally came.

The Sin Domain, the remnants of the people who had been killed and retreated, regrouped again, approaching the Northland Province, the Black Rock Defense Line.

According to Cecilia's understanding, since the last defeat, the power of the remnants of the Sinful Realm has shrunk a lot, after all, even the Great Chief Absolon has been killed in battle.

The Lord of the Plague has long controlled a number of remnant tribes, taking advantage of the leaderless opportunity of the remnants to infiltrate and woo them, and now he has completely controlled the remnant forces, including them in the Plague Territory camp, becoming a bridgehead to invade the surface world.

If it weren't for the need to be distracted by the capricious Drow Elven Empire, the Lord of the Plague would have struck the surface world with all his might.

Even now, the Lord of the Plague covets the surface world, and for him, the vast number of creatures in the surface world are all high-quality and inexpensive soldiers.

As long as he can take the Northland, the Lord of the Plague will be able to obtain the coveted base in the surface world, and then launch the migration of the plague territory, from the underground world with a harsh environment and few life forms to the heavenly surface world.

The Plague Lord's tactical plan this time is not much better than the last one, and it is still to send plague spreaders to secretly spread necromantic plague throughout the Northlands to assist in the onslaught of the remnant tribes.

If there is a difference, there are two main points. For one, the Necromantic Plague has been modified to become more violent and difficult to suppress. Second, the Plague Lord camp has joined a group of Divine Court Awakened Persons who have no bottom line.

For the Divine Court Awakeners, this kind of mission to infiltrate the enemy's hinterland and wreak havoc is exactly what they are good at.

If you can take the Northland Province and let the Plague Territory migrate to the surface, you will definitely be able to start a new unification main quest, and then you will have the qualifications to stay further. This is also Andrey's alternative plan.

It's just that Andre still doesn't know what kind of deployment Bai Xiaowen has made for them.

......

The Northland Wilderness, deep in a deserted cavern.

The bonfire danced, and seven or eight Divine Court Awakened people sat around.

"The ruins of Rivertalon Town, the Mid-Levels Territory, the White Birch Castle...... These places have been contaminated with necromantic plagues. Our preliminary preparation tasks have been almost completed. ”

Andrei coughed twice, pointed to the map and said, "However, these places are deserted, and there are basically no life. In order to completely dismantle the defenses of the Northlands, these two places must be polluted. ”

Andre's finger pointed to three locations not far from each other on the map: White Rock Castle (formerly Red Leaf Castle) and Black Rock Castle.

It's the only city in the Northland with two densely populated cities, especially White Rock, which is thriving today.

This kind of prosperity also made the awakened people of the Divine Court Training Camp all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, this kind of quasi-territory is so well run, how much income will it bring every year, it is simply an open-air golden mountain.

Since we don't have such a quasi-territory, no one else can have it.

"I've tried to infiltrate, but White Rock is very well defended, and there are basically no loopholes to exploit. One of the Awoken said.

"Isn't it okay to change our focus? Since the lord of White Rock City is the Awakened One named Cecilia, wouldn't it be OK to get rid of her?" Auguste spoke.

André said in a deep voice, "Since we came to the Northland, we haven't seen Cecilia with our own eyes until now. This person seems to be alert, and has been hiding under the heavy defenses of White Rock City, and he can't seize the opportunity at all. ”

After a pause, Andre added, "However, I have already sent those two Earth natives to inquire about Cecilia's activity route. Once you find an opportunity, you can launch an assassination. At the very least, to force her out of the Kane plane. ”

"Why did you send those two natives of Earth?" Auguste wondered.

"Because Ouyang mentioned something to me, I am very concerned. ”

Andre said slowly: "This Cecilia has the same name as the Awakened of a small force on Earth. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but Ouyang only needs to see the other party again, and he can complete the confirmation. ”
