Chapter 54: The Way Home
"Old K, have you found anything?" Shepis was heard in the team channel.
"The Axe Tooth Regiment and the Green Regiment have really gone to pursue the Corona Regiment, and there is no reincarnation figure in the Rift Canyon." Xu Mo returned lightly.
Ending the conversation, Xu Mo raised his head and calmly glanced at the woods in front of him. Standing on the cliffs of the fissure canyon, the bright sunlight gave the young man a warm feeling all over his body, and the breeze blew through his ears, bringing the chirping of insects and birds in the woods.
It's a great feeling to be back on the ground! Xu Mo took a deep breath, and the joy of seeing the light of day again floated in his heart. Human beings are really suitable for survival on the ground, and staying in the damp and dark underground world has always left him with a deep depression in his heart.
Although Panassin has already decided to provide the only cooperation contract in Breeland, the specific terms of cooperation for the mining of the dragon crystal vein still need to be negotiated by both parties.
Originally, Leah, the Seven Kings, wanted to take advantage of this incident to gain more benefits for Brightland. However, Shepis tells her that there are still two surface forces on the ground, and threatens to tear up Red Rose's escort agreement if she doesn't sign a contract again.
Having witnessed and participated in the great battle in the mushroom territory, this Seven Princesses no longer dared to underestimate the power of Xue Pis and others. In addition, Curt and other sixty high-ranking knights have all been killed, and she only has the joint team to rely on. I had to heed Shepis's warning, hastily ended the bargaining of the terms of the contract, and it only took half a day to sign a cooperation contract with the dungeon.
This contract was extremely satisfying to Wendiney and the other elven patriarchs of the dungeon, and due to the short negotiation time, Briland made a lot of concessions in the agreement, and the living materials originally planned to be used in exchange for the dragon crystal mining rights were increased by at least about 20%.
In view of Shepis cooperation, Wendini readily delivered one-third of the dragon crystal inventory to the joint team, which was also one of her agreements with Xu Mo.
When the representatives of both forces signed the contract, the reincarnation of the joint team received a reminder message from the five dimensions. The main content of the main quest has not changed, but there is a warning in red for the contract section.
This high-stakes contract, regardless of who holds it, will be nakedly displayed on the world map of the other top teams. In other words, they would never have secretly returned to Brightland's royal capital, Woot, with the contract, and put an end to any petty tricks to hide from the world.
For this fact, everyone in the joint team was a little listless, but they were mentally prepared for it, knowing that the five major spaces would not let the reincarnator take a shortcut on such a critical issue.
Otherwise, there is no need for the escort of the joint team at all, as long as Xu Mo, a third-order assassin, hides and hides all the way with the contract, he can naturally complete the return to Woot, and he doesn't need the help of others.
In this situation, the two wise men, Xu Mo and Simon, originally wanted to persuade Xue Pis to give up the main quest and return to the space directly. However, at this time, Jill stepped up and offered the joint team another viable solution.
It turned out that Jill's team warehouse still had several summoning contracts for flying mounts, which in fact originally belonged to the Corona Regiment. When the Corona Regiment reached an alliance with the Mino Regiment, they abandoned the plot forces and flew directly from Orbundale to the Rift Canyon in the Dusk Glades on flying mounts.
After entering the Underworld, the Corona Regiment gave up summoning contracts for some flying mounts to the Mino. This is a preparatory means to allow the Mino group to quickly leave the underground crack after completing the main quest. Unexpectedly, at this time, the summoning contract that Jill was assigned was used for the joint team.
With these flying mount summoning contracts, plus the five horned eagle beasts of Susan and four other members of the Cross family, there are a total of thirteen flying mounts, large and small. Xu Mo and the others suddenly found that they could learn from the original method of the Corona Regiment and let most of them fly back to Breland from the air on flying mounts.
There are eleven people left in the joint team, five people left in Jill's team, and a total of nine characters including the Seven Kings Leah, Susan, and Rain Man, for a total of twenty-five people.
The flying mounts provided by Jill are all small flying beasts, there are eight of them, but some can only carry one person. Susan calculated that all thirteen flying mounts could fit sixteen people. Excluding the members of the Cross family who were responsible for taking care of and controlling the flying mounts along the way, there were actually only eleven people who could sit on them.
Except for the Seven Kings Maiden Leah, who must be brought with her, the reincarnator can only have ten people with the team, and as for the food and water along the way, they can be put into storage space and do not take up space.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Mo and Simon felt that there was still hope for completing the main quest. However, they can't make this kind of life-and-death decision for everyone, so they put their analysis together. Let everyone decide for themselves whether they want to continue with the main quest and who will participate in the ten slots.
Xu Mo himself decided to participate in the main quest, and Xue Pis promised him that the core of time and space had been notarized in space, and even if he quit the space war now, he would be in his pocket. He was involved in the final main quest for another reason, an idea that was merely a guess.
It's just that Xu Mo won't go to the flying mount, he can only use Will's angel wings, barely able to keep up with the team. Jill used the flying mount and the dragon crystal mined in the dragon crystal vein in the early stage to exchange a part of the joint team's war contribution, allowing the two less powerful reincarnators in the team to return first.
Among the eleven reincarnators of the joint team, two of the Skeleton Regiment's supporters chose to return, and surprisingly, Simon did not want to continue the adventure and chose to return. In this way, except for Xu Mo, all the reincarnators can take the flying mount and return to Breeland.
And the remaining two maids of the Seven Princesses, as well as the rain man, could only walk home sadly. However, they don't have to carry contracts on them, and there are no reincarnators to hunt them down. Its own force is enough to deal with the wild creatures in the forest, as long as you enter the territory of Breland, you will naturally be safe.
Originally, Xu Mo wanted to let Serna and Wood return to space directly, but Wood's pupil power talent was extremely useful for discovering the pursuers, and he himself wanted to get greater benefits, so he stayed. As for Serna, her attitude was extremely resolute, she wanted to stay and continue to do her best for Max's resurrection, which made Xu Mo extremely helpless.
In fact, except for Xu Mo, who had other thoughts, and Serna, the other reincarnators who stayed were all for the huge benefits of the main quest. Don't look at the fact that the joint team has obtained a large number of bloody Rubik's cubes in the front, as well as a large number of war contributions and dragon crystal ore, but compared to the benefits of the main quest, the current harvest is only one-third at most.
First of all, now to return to the space directly, you must consume 25 points of war contributions, don't look at the hundreds of war contributions that the joint team currently has, and they are distributed to more than a dozen reincarnations, 25 points is almost half of the war contributions of individuals.
In addition, if you return to space directly, you can only have the original main quest income promised by Y space, which of course will be the minimum amount of quest income.
However, if they complete the new main quest after the deepening of the war in the world of Eberon, the situation will be different. The remaining 25 points of war contribution can be exchanged for many special treasures in the world of Alberon, and the income of the new main quest is 150% of the original main story income.
What's even more attractive is that the reward promised by the third prince Brian to the Red Rose Organization also includes five Breeland's royal treasures. If he knew that Xue Pis and the others had also won him the only cooperative mining right in the Longjing vein, I was afraid that Brian would also increase his remuneration by a part.
This comes and goes, the gap between the mission benefits is too big, and it is no wonder that so many people are willing to stay and fight. Even when Simon returned to space, he was a little reluctant. It's a pity that the head and wise man of the Gentlemen's Alliance is very sober-minded and knows that there will be a huge risk in staying, so he finally chooses to return to the space.
Don't look at the people who stay can ride the flying mount, but the Dusk Glades is so far away from Woott that even if they do, it will take them a week. Along the way, they also need to let the flying mount land at intervals to rest, otherwise they will be raided by the other two top teams.
You must know that although it is impossible for the Axe Tooth Regiment and the Grimm Regiment to be fully equipped with flying mounts, there should also be some flying mounts, especially the Grimm Regiment from Vionor.
The Grimm regiment is full of archers and mages with low physical strength, and Vionor and Breland are separated by two countries, and they have traveled thousands of miles to the Dusk Glade, and the mages in the team should have flying mounts to walk. It's only right to catch up on a stretch of the road and rest in town and wait for the arrival of the plot elves.
If the two top teams also have large flying mounts, they can even attack from the air. However, large flying mounts such as bipedal wyverns and horned eagles are hard to come by, and reincarnators cannot control them, so they must have animal trainers like members of the Cross family.
It's hard to imagine that the two top teams would have a lot of big flying mounts and animal trainers. The biggest possibility is that the Axe Tooth Regiment and the Green Regiment have gathered more than a dozen small flying mounts to launch a surprise attack on the ground against the joint team.
On top of that, with each additional flying mount, the danger to the combined team is greater. If there are more than twenty flying mounts, the combined team will surely collapse. After all, they are in the open, but the two top teams are in the dark, and it is difficult to prevent them.
Therefore, the final journey from the Dusk Woodland to the Waraut is still full of great challenges and risks!
