Chapter 288: Three Places
The swamp was not a short distance from the mouth of the Qingyan, and it was only after dark that Unas and the others returned to the camp, and the narrow valley mouth had been built with a high and thick stone wall, leaving only a doorway for only one person to enter and exit.

Of course, this is only temporary, such a small exit can block the enemy, but it will also make transportation difficult, Unas really wants a fortress that can be attacked and defended, so a large area outside the Qingyan Pass is set up for camp, and the dwarves start digging trenches along the outer edge of the barracks, preparing to build a real city wall.
Reduced from a regular army to a sapper, the dwarf commander Saunders Deep Rock did not complain, and when he saw the garrison returning from hunting, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Unas exchanged a few words and asked, "Colonel Sanders, how is the progress today?" ”
"The trench has been basically completed, and the foundation can be laid immediately, but there is a lack of stone, but fortunately, the stone quality of Qingyankou is good, and it can be mined on the spot, saving time and effort and widening the road."
The dwarf was full of good news, but Unas knew it couldn't be that simple, "That's great, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask." ”
"We don't lack manpower, but we don't have real architect guidance, and we also lack quarrying and fortification tools, I don't know if the adults can support some, and besides, our military rations are only enough to eat for two days..."
The dwarves are really difficult, although they are good at working with stones, and they usually have no problem tinkering, but to build a wall from scratch, it is necessary to have a professional architect.
"I'll send you the architect and all kinds of tools, if you want food," Unas said ruthlessly, "no problem, you can stay in peace." ”
With only seven days' worth of rations, Unas wanted to end the war in less than a week, and then send most of the dwarves back, leaving only Sanders and his cronies, whom he had promised to shelter.
But the plan could not keep up with the change, and it seemed that the two thousand five hundred dwarves had to raise him for a while, and they were all obedient, and it was worth it to keep them at a small price.
The architect and various tools are very simple, just go to the Dark Furnace City to get them, this is the advantage of having a teleportation array, Unas is not short of money, and he is the Holy Light Lord of the Dwarf Kingdom.
Although he has a bad reputation among the dwarven officers, in the hearts of ordinary black iron dwarves, he is extremely trusted by the new king, and there are piles of people who want to mess with him, and he can't worry about it.
The only problem is food, there is not much in the stronghold, and I am already living tightly, counting on the mushrooms in the mushroom cave to survive this winter.
Now that there are suddenly more than two thousand mouths, they can only rely on the black iron dwarves, but the black stone abyss has been flooded by the sea, and the dwarves' fluorescent wheat has lost a lot, and the price of grain has been rising, and I don't know how much Frank has bought during this time.
Fortunately, Unas has enough funds to continue to throw money around, plus the daily harvest from the canyon swamp and the promotion of Hex's giant spider meat disinfection method, it should still be able to sustain it.
After returning to the account, he immediately took out ten boxes of gold coins from the space bag, sent his personal guard captain Raphael to lead the team, and returned with the money to find Shi Mei.
Shi Mei was originally a merchant, and buying tools and hiring an architect were simple tasks for him, and the purchase of grain could be discussed with Frank.
After taking care of a little more errands, Unas had eaten supper, gathered some of his henchmen, and went out of camp to the hill where the dragon was, which he now called "Dragon's Hill."
The Night Elves, Rosebyne, and the Blue Dragon had all arrived, and Unas said hello and said, "I have gathered everyone here today to discuss the next move. ”
"Well, I thought the knight had fallen in love with slaughtering the poor lizards and had forgotten his promise to cooperate with us." The only one who could talk like that was Cecilia Silver Shadow, the captain of the Watchmen.
Unas was just about to reply, when Matigosa asked, "Are the Unas knights ready to attack the forest?" Alice's injury is no longer a problem, and we will fully support you. ”
"Thank you, Miss Marty." Unas smiled at the blue dragon.
Silver Shadow pursed her lips and snorted, not speaking again.
Unas took out a makeshift map of the forest and laid it on the ground, with three large crosses and striking triangular divisions on the map.
"I haven't been idle in the past few days, in addition to hunting for the army, I also sent a large number of scouts to the forest to investigate, plus the information provided by everyone present, I found three unusual places, and the lair of the purple-robed people is likely to be in these three places."
He held a slender wooden stick and pointed to a fork on the map to the north, "There is a small lake in the woods, it is not unusual in itself, but it is the only place where the seven lizards can hide and recuperate, if the beast is not hiding in the swamp, then it must be here." ”
Everyone nodded, no objection, first, this lake is not far from the swamp, second, with the huge size of the seven-headed lizard, it is impossible to hide in the forest for so long without a trace, the swamp has been turned over in the past few days, this lake is indeed very suspicious.
"So what are you waiting for? Let's dig it out and wipe it out completely! "Someone immediately wanted to act.
"Although this lake is not big, we don't know how deep it is, and it will take a lot of effort to find the seven-headed lizard, and the possibility of the purple-robed man being here is very small, so let's put it aside first."
Unas moved the long stick towards the red fork near the center of the forest, "Although the area where the mutant spider is active is wide, it is centered here, our elven ranger risked his life to sneak into it, and found that the most central area was completely shrouded in dense spider silk, and the slightest collision would trigger an alarm, and it was impossible to enter quietly, and it was likely to be the command center of the mutant spider, that is, the hiding place of the purple-robed man." ”
Everyone didn't ask questions, this place is located in the center of the forest, and there are not only mutant spiders around, but also many other dangerous spiders, and it is not easy to attack it.
Unas pointed to the last red cross, "This is a strange woodland, the trees are unusually tall and stout, but there is no sign of any other biological activity..."
"I discovered this place first," cried a young druid, not caring at all to interrupt the garrison, "I can sense the evil will that oppresses the spirits of nature!" ”
Oak Leaf coughed dryly, reminded the young man to be polite, and continued, "I also feel the twisted and madly painful souls. ”
Unas spread his hands, "How about it, these three places are the results of our investigation in the past few days, do you have any suggestions?" ”
"Dispatch your army, Unas, and attack the lair of the mutant spiders, they must have besieged me and Alice many times before, and they must be protecting the purple-robed people." The blue dragon spoke first.
The young druid objected, "The purple-robed man won't stay in such a conspicuous place, I think he must be in that evil woodland." ”
"If I want to say inconspicuous, the lake is the most inconspicuous, and I don't feel the slightest danger there." Pereira joins the argument as the captain of the Ranger who has personally visited the lake in the woods.
A few more people spoke, but the opinions were always unanimous, and there were people in all three places who supported it, and seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, Unas raised his hand and pressed, "Quiet! Stop arguing! ”
After everyone was quiet, he said: "No matter where the purple-robed people are, these places are our targets, but I will not send troops, because the unfamiliar forest is too dangerous for the soldiers, even if they can win, they will kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, based on the interests of the silver dawn, I will not let the soldiers die in vain." ”
The blue dragon immediately said, "This is different from what we said. ”
Yeyue continued, "You want to lure out the mutant spider swarm?" This is not easy, we have all seen it in the past three days, the purple-robed people are completely shrinking tactics, and they will not easily go out of the forest. ”
"So I can't take my soldiers into the trap he has laid."
"Is it so stalemate?"
"Of course not, I called you here to discuss this matter," Unas looked around at the group, "Everyone's goal is the purple-robed man, as long as you find him, you don't need to fight his spider army head-on, at least not now." ”
If there was time to wait for Rosebyne's spiders to accumulate a few hundred, Unas would still be able to make up his mind to attack the forest with all his troops, but unfortunately everyone in front of him was more and more anxious.
The Night Elves want to save their compatriots, the Blue Dragon wants to retrieve the dragon eggs, and Rose Byrne himself wants to recover his body as soon as possible.
"Why can't the purple-robed man shrink back? Because he felt that he could not defeat us, he wanted to use the forest as a barrier to defend and counterattack, and we must not act according to his ideas. ”
"So, what do you want to do?"
"On the front, I will continue to send guerrilla teams to hunt in the swamps, and move half of the army forward fifteen kilometers to station, make an offensive posture, force the enemy to shrink, and the real attack will be launched by our most sophisticated combat power, that is, you."
With two dragons, five druids and five wardeners, and Silver Dawn and the rest of the professions, this team is already strong.
Although Unas is only level 43, he is only an elite-level paladin, but after a great improvement in sanctification, his actual attributes have reached the hero level, and with the inheritance of the Flame Knight, his combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of a level 60 character.
After Huo Ye successfully controlled Baikal, his spiritual power increased a lot, and according to him, he boasted that he had broken through the high level and reached the realm of a magician, but he was not yet proficient in the corresponding high-level spells.
Dalaran divides the mages into apprentices, beginners, intermediates, levels, and major five levels, and the upper level and above are collectively referred to as the archmages, and the strength levels of the archmages are uneven, and the real strength cannot be understood just by looking at the title.
But as a magical kingdom, Quel'Salas is relatively finely divided, and there are three ranks above the high level: magician, magician, and archmagister.
Pereira is a high-level ranger, otherwise she wouldn't be the captain of the rangers.
Natasha and Hex are good wet nurses, and the others are also elite fighters.
If everyone present can really work together, a beheading operation may not be able to solve the purple-robed man.
