Act 69: The Secret of the Storm (Part II)
Receiving instructions, White Steel repeated the question:
"This is the territory of the Eternal Cult? Didn't you say it was Borderlands before? If we destroy the magic array, will they immediately send out a large army? Will other undead forces attack us besides them? ”
Dilitan thought for a moment and said, "Theoretically, this is not the sphere of influence of the Eternal Cult, they evacuated after slaughtering this place, but in practice, no one can say what they will think of this land.
As for whether a large army will be sent immediately...... I don't think so.
This is Cape Storm, sandwiched between two huge north-south mountain ranges, one east and one west, with the sea to the south and the hell valley to the north, which has no sunlight all year round.
So if you move lightly and carefully, I don't think there will be any reaction from the outside for a long time, and I don't even know that you have destroyed the magic array, after all, the scope of influence of the magic array is limited to Storm Horn and Hell Valley. ”
"What if our actions are known to the people of the Eternal Cult? Will they attack it? ”
"Small troops don't count, and in a large-scale war, they probably won't be able to send troops over. Because the people of the Eternal Cult inexplicably gave up a large area of land decades ago, and now there is a powerful undead monarch of the Lingdong Alliance entrenched in the Puglia Mine on the west side of the northern valley mouth of the Hell Valley, and the relationship between the Eternal Cult and the Lingdong Alliance is very bad, they definitely don't dare to bypass the Puglia Mine to attack here, and if they pull out the Puglia Mine first, it will mean a full-scale war with the Lingdong Alliance, I think they should not make a big fight for this place where birds don't.
As for the undead of the Winter Alliance and the Psychic Tower. Aside from the Puglia mines, the main forces of the Wintering Alliance are far away from you, so you shouldn't have to worry. The Psychic Pagoda is at war with the Seven Kingdoms and the Holy Duze Empire at the same time, and I'm afraid I don't have time to care about you.
So, I don't think even if you do anything here, you won't be attacked by these three undead forces right away, at least not for a few years.
However, this does not mean that you can stay here for a long time, if your forces here are too strong, no matter which undead forces react, they will see you as a thorn in their side, and you will not be able to resist the troops and supplies transported by ocean voyages! ”
Bai Gang's eyes narrowed, and he said excitedly: "Ocean voyages are naturally not good, but what about the strategic-level large portal!?" ”
Dilityan was taken aback: "Just kidding! Do you know how many resources that consume!? ”
"Of course I do, but resources aren't an issue." Bai Gang smiled, "You have also seen that the last thing I lack is money." ”
Dilit Te Ann shrugged his shoulders, although White Steel always insisted that he had enough resources to build a strategic portal, but both Dilit Te and the others felt that this was nothing more than his arrogant ignorance, and when Annu had detailed the resources he needed, the White Earl would retreat.
Taking a step back, if White Steel really has the ability to build a strategic-level portal, it will have no effect on him and the Seven Kingdoms anyway, on the contrary, it can greatly share the pressure of the Echo Canyon battlefield, and his opposition is just a good persuasion as a friend.
"Well, since you insist." Diletan glanced at Annu, "Master Annu, please give Earl White a detailed list of the resources needed to build the portal." ”
Anu nodded knowingly: "No problem." ”
Bai Gang said: "Thank you very much. ”
"You're welcome, it's just a trifle."
Bai Gang said again: "Regardless of whether the portal can be cultivated or not, I am ready to completely eliminate the undead here and close the magic array!" I can solve the problem of the undead with my own people, but we don't know how to close the magic circle, we don't know where the magic circle is, and I don't know if we can ask you for help. Of course, Monte Cristo has a debt to pay, and I will pay accordingly. ”
As he spoke, the servants placed a small box in front of each member of the expedition, and when they opened the box, they were all stacked with aluminum ingots the size of half a palm, and there were as many as ten pieces.
"Mithril!? These...... These are all Mithril!? ”
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the box in front of them, and the sound of swallowing saliva was clearly audible.
"This ...... It's too precious......" Dilitean struggled with his thoughts, pushing the box out with difficulty, "It's right to help a friend, there are too many of these Mithrils!" ”
"No, no, no, as you said, it's right to help a friend. These Mithril aren't much to me, but they can be more useful in your hands, so please take them.
Besides, your weapons and armor are in tatters, and as a friend of the Count of Monte Cristo, it would be a shame for my family to return to the Seven Kingdoms like this! So, I hope you can give me a chance to build a set of equipment for each of you, of course, because I don't have a mage here who can enchant, so I have to ask Mage Anu for help with the enchantment, I remember you said you know how to enchant. ”
"Yes, I know about enchantment, but these Mithril ......" Annu swallowed, not knowing if it was appropriate to take it, as it was too valuable.
If it's really in the Red Tower, this Mithril is enough to exchange for a good item in the master level!
Annu was still hesitating, but the dwarven hot hearth, who had no resistance to wine and metal at all, had already happily held Mithril in his arms, almost like holding his wife.
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Earl, you will be my forever friend! I'll smash all those bones for you! ”
Annu let out a long sigh, as a master who burned money and rushed to the ranks, and he was also a master who didn't have many gold coins in his pocket, he really didn't want to refuse this gift.
"What a generous man, Earl White."
With emotion, Annu put the box away.
…………………………
Countless undead wandered aimlessly on the bone field, and suddenly a group of black-robed knights on skeletal horses appeared in the distance, and the surrounding undead suddenly stopped as if they had received an order, looked at them, and then approached like ants smelling honey, and gradually formed a wave of undead at the rear of the team, moving south with the team, moving in the direction of the storm base.
