Chapter 22: Preparations for the Great War
Back at the White Keep, Amos landed on a specially designed dragon platform, and the fish-man guards guarding on the side hurriedly saluted the White Dragon Lord.
"Go, call Old Blind and Old Jimmy to me. ”
"Yes!"
Amos walked all the way into the halls of the White Castle.
On the first floor of the White Castle is a rectangular hall, and the two sides of the hall are supported by stout marble pillars carved with ornate patterns, and the four-headed white dragon itself will not feel crowded when playing in it.
At the end of the rectangular hall is a 30-meter-long and 20-meter-wide crystal throne, the backrest is made of sharp crystal rough at one end, made in the shape of a peacock opening screen, plus the crystal handrail of the carved dragon head, which looks even more magnificent against the light cast by the dome.
This is the exclusive throne of the White Dragon Lord Amos, who is willing to share everything with his dragon brothers and sisters, but the priorities still have to be distinguished.
There is an arch next to the throne, and behind the arch is a staircase leading to the living quarters on the second floor, which is the private sanctuary of the white dragons, and the dependents stop in the hall.
Amos lay down on a throne built according to the standards of his adulthood.
After a while, Old Blind and Old Jimmy arrived, walked to the center of the hall, and bowed to the white dragon on the throne.
"Hats off to you, great host!"
Amos got straight to the point: "What do you think about the current development of the White Castle? ”
Over the years, both Old Blind and Old Jimmy have learned about Amos's human being (the dragon) and no longer look ahead.
The old blind man said directly: "The islands within a radius of five hundred kilometers around Tasman Island have all been taken into the possession of the master, except for the island where the ogre tribe is located, which is a hard bone. ”
Old Jimmy sorted out his thoughts, and then said in the old blind words: "If the White Castle's sphere of influence is to continue to expand, we only have two choices at present, the first is to avoid the ogre island for the time being and seek development further away. ”
"But in this case, we have to leave some of the elite behind to prevent the ogres from sneaking up on the rear, and we can't use them at full strength, and I'm a little worried that there will be problems if the supply line is too long. ”
"The second is to defeat the ogre island, but in the face of the two thousand ogres on the island, our strength is not overwhelming, and there will inevitably be great casualties in the strong attack, and it will take a period of cultivation to hinder the pace of the master's expansion. ”
Amos nodded, largely satisfied with their answers.
"It seems that the two of you usually work very hard. ”
Amos first affirmed the work of the two, and then habitually asked, "What do you think?"
The old blind man said: "It is all up to the master, and the fishman is always ready to become a sharp blade in the master's hands." ”
"Very well, I've decided to take down the ogre first, and the war will start in a month, so you guys go down and prepare first. ”
"Follow your will!"
Fighting a war is not simply a matter of two sides making an appointment to fight, it also involves logistics and supplies, battle formations and tactics.
As the attacker this time, the fish people must prepare enough food in case the war enters a stalemate, and also prepare siege equipment, which can be a problem to transport by sea.
But these were the problems of the old blind and old Jimmy, and Amos went to the prison below the White Castle to start his experiments.
The White Fort Prison was built under the White Fort and guarded by the Fishmen's dependents, and it held enemies of a certain value, and there was no need to bring them back if they were not.
The prison is still empty, with only a dozen ogres in place.
After the ogre was arrested, Amos thought about it and imprisoned them here, intending to conquer the ogre tribe and then take them as subordinates, after all, the ogre has amazing combat power and is qualified to become the main combat class under the command of the white dragon.
Yes, Amos intends to conquer the entire ogre tribe, so he has not attacked the ogre island, after all, in its eyes, the ogre will be his right-hand man sooner or later, and both the dead and wounded are his own people, so it is not worth it.
The upcoming experiments are the most critical part of its plan, and the development of a poison that can stun ogres is no easy task.
In order to develop a poison that would not poison and be effective, Amos collected the ogre's body data, and asked his dependents to collect all the plants in the territory and analyze their medicinal properties.
With the help of Goldfinger, Amos has finally analyzed the poison against the ogre and configured the finished product, and now he has to start experimenting.
Amos used Transfiguration to shrink his body and make it to the bottom of the prison.
When the ogre imprisoned in the cell next to him saw it, as if he had seen an undead, he quickly turned around and buried his head in his crotch in the shape of an ostrich, trembling, and at the same time whispered a prayer to the ogre god Gruul: You can't see me, you can't see me.
When these ogres were first caught, they had a lot of temper, yelling in the prison every day, and often attacking the fish-man jailers who delivered food, and they were not afraid of beating with rough skin and thick meat, and they couldn't be killed directly, so the old blind man complained to Amos.
Until one day, Amos couldn't stand the ogre's presumptuous behavior, and personally caught all the ogres, tied them all up, covered their mouths, and let the fishmen be tortured - scratching their feet with the dog's tail grass for a day and a night.
Since then, the rebellious ogres have become well-behaved babies, and Amos's actions have left a serious psychological shadow on the ogre, so much so that the grumpy ogres are the same as they are now every time they see it.
Amos looked at the ogres in the cell and chose the strongest one.
"Open the cell door. ”
The fish-man jailer next to him took a bunch of keys from his waist and opened the door.
The ogre looked at Amos as he walked in, his legs went limp, and he almost fell to his knees.
"Drink it. ”
Amos pulled out a test tube containing a dark green liquid.
Under the obscenity of Amos, the ogre did not dare to resist, and closed his eyes and poured the liquid that was obviously not a good thing.
A minute passes~.
The ogre didn't do anything.
Is it because the dosage is not enough?
"Give, drink again. ”
The ogre didn't hesitate to take a sip, and even smashed it in the mouth.
Another minute passed~.
"Anything else? Goga still wants to drink. ”
Amos has a black thread, these ogres really have such a big head for nothing.
"Xiaojin, what's going on, are you sure this is a poison, not a vitamin-supplementing drink?"
After analyzing it for a while, Goldfinger came to the following conclusion: the ogre's powerful stomach acid destroyed the medicinal properties of the poison.
Amos dipped his fingernails in a little poison and poked lightly in the ogre's arm.
The ogre Goga didn't react at all to this small injury.
After 30 seconds, the ogre began to stand unsteadily.
"Goga head ~ so dizzy. ”
The ogre Goga staggered as if he was drunk, and in a moment he fell to the ground.
It took half an hour before I woke up.
When Amos saw the results of the experiment, he left his cell.
"It seems that the plan to secretly poison is not working. ”
"Then let's fight!"
