Chapter 194: Investigation and Expansion
"This world is really small, you can meet it anywhere."
Roy sighed.
Lolina observed the photo and suddenly exclaimed:
"Young Master, look at this!"
The place that Lolina is pointing to is the city that is long in the photo.
The armies of the Helios Empire belonged to the attacking side, and the cities they attacked were hung with special blue banners. It was an abstract crescent shape, and Roy was familiar with it. Because this is the banner of the goddess of the moon.
Among the twelve main gods, the three sky gods of the Void Trace represent the sun, moon and stars.
The relationship between the three main gods is incompatible.
The Brave Plane where they are located is basically at war all year round, vying for their own control over the plane.
Roy speculated that he should have entered such a brave world.
The sun god and the goddess of the moon are in a fight.
Roy got excited.
If that's the case, then his chance to fish in troubled waters has come.
More spies were sent to get closer to Mugg's location and to find out more about the situation of the indigenous people.
Hundreds of kilometers around Demon King City are all dense forests.
This is the result of a simple reconnaissance by air units.
It is not clear what kind of resources or other valuable things are in the forest. It is necessary to send a specific resource exploration team to conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the surrounding area.
There is no sapient life community around.
The closest intelligent life is still at war.
So there's no need to worry about being found out at all.
The three demon king cities sent a large number of personnel to conduct detailed reconnaissance of the surrounding environment, screen resources, and set up various secret sentinels and traps.
With the Demon King as the center, a radius of 30 kilometers is demarcated as a warning area, and some early warning magic is set up, and dark sentries and snipers are set up at the commanding heights.
Once a usable resource is discovered, depletion mining is carried out.
The forest is still quite rich in resources.
All kinds of wood, all kinds of plants and creatures, earth resources, ore resources and much more.
Depending on the resource, logging squads, gathering squads, hunting squads, etc., were formed.
The population of the three Demon King Cities was mobilized.
Roy's Demon King City unified scheduling and arranging work.
The Demon King City of the three is ready to carry out a wave of population and military expansion, which requires a lot of basic resources to support. Basic resources are not worth buying through the channel, and it is best to mine them directly from the surrounding environment.
As soon as the resources are confirmed, the mining team is on board.
The three Demon King Cities are all in full swing.
The minions were busy.
Alice, Vivien's maid and housekeeper are all masters of management, plus Lolina and Lilina who were taught by Roy himself, the tripartite cooperation, the management efficiency is super high, and the ceiling of the highest efficiency is reached.
Mutt flew southeast, and Shirley headed northwest.
The dragon girl is more careful, and the detection speed is slow, but the investigation is very careful.
After flying nearly 150 kilometers, she reported a message. A large amount of dense fog began to appear at the bottom of the forest, and these fogs were thick and did not look like a product of natural formation.
And the long-term gathering does not disperse, and the sun does not shine.
Flying high in the air, Shirley could only see a white expanse below, and the occasional green treetops.
She immediately reported the news.
Loy told Shirley to act safely, and evacuated immediately if the situation was not right.
For Shirley's safety, Roy is not very worried.
Because the dragon is the overlord of the sky.
In the world of the Brave, there are very few creatures that can pose a threat to dragons. Their powerful wings allow them to soar up to 5,000 meters in the air with ease.
The creatures on the ground can't reach the dragon.
And there are very few creatures that can fly to this height, and they are usually beaten by dragons.
With such a huge air superiority, the dragon is the leper dog of the brave world. If you can't beat it, you can run, and you can turn back to all kinds of harassment.
So Roy is still very relieved about Shirley's safety.
Unless......
She died.
Two days later, the unexpected happened.
Shirley is missing.
The scout team has a fixed time each day to communicate with the base camp through a communication magic device. After three hours of timeout, Shirley did not contact the base camp, and the staff on duty reported the matter directly to Roy.
Roy was speechless.
What are you afraid of?
He felt that the contract with Shirley had not been broken.
It shows that Shirley is not dead.
Roy tries to contact Shirley through a contract, but there is no response.
Looks like something has happened.
When Roy got the news, he was having dinner with Alice and Vivien.
After getting the news.
He made a space on the dining table and spread out the improvised map on the table.
The information gathered during this time has been continuously summarized to form this tactical map in front of Roy, which records the surrounding terrain and landforms, as well as the resources with the Demon King as the center point.
"Here's where Shirley last reported."
Roy taps the edge of the map, and there is the depths of the forest.
"Dragons rarely have accidents at high altitudes, most likely because Shirley has lowered their flight altitude. With her character, it is likely that she was attracted to something. ”
Because the dragon is too powerful, it has a loose behavior and poor discipline.
They can't do it.
It is very easy to be attracted by all kinds of shiny things, and to shift the main force.
Roy speculated on the possibility, which Vivien and Alice agreed on.
"Do you want to save it?"
"Of course, as a beautiful demon king city of friendship, harmony, civilization, unity and mutual assistance, we can't give up on everyone."
Roy said half-jokingly.
If Shirley was a regular employee, Roy wouldn't have saved her.
Come back from the dead and resurrect it with braised pork.
Unfortunately, Shirley is not a regular employee.
There is no resurrection from the dead.
There are only two dragons in the city of Roy.
Naturally, he was reluctant.
The strategic value of the dragon is too high.
This kind of free thug is not easy to catch.
"Save Private Shirley."
"GI? Why GIs? ”
"I'll just say it casually."
Roy put away the map, sat down anew, and quickly ate the food in his bowl.
"Slow down, what's the hurry?"
Vivien scolded dissatisfiedly.
Roy drank all the soup in one go, wiped his mouth, and leaned over to Vivien. He kissed her on the cheek as she struggled.
Vivien touched the oil marks on her face and puffed out her little fist to beat Roy.
Roy slipped away.
Swiftly pulled Alice away, kissed Alice again, and then quickly ran away.
Vivien scolds Roy.
Alice reacted calmly, took out a handkerchief to wipe the oil marks on her cheeks, and continued to eat her own food elegantly.
Vivien and Alice chatting.
It's just that soon, the two couldn't talk anymore.
Because the minions came to report that the reconnaissance teams they sent to the north and west were collectively missing.
And the nearest outpost sent a message.
A thick fog suddenly appeared in the forest, rapidly expanding outward, and the reconnaissance team covered by the fog was all silent.
