One o'clock in the afternoon.

The castle of the Cavidi family was officially renamed the temporary residence of the Grand Lord of the Islands.

Lawson, Anvinia, and Lydia took the alloy iron core, walked around the castle, and used high-level petrification to fully strengthen the entire castle.

At first, it was three people who did it, but then Heya Jiali couldn't stay idle and joined in.

There is a strong new force all of a sudden, and the progress is greatly accelerated.

By the time the reinforcement was completed, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.

In this way, every corner of the castle becomes a solid bunker.

The Crescent warriors stationed in it can use their cover to resist powerful single spell attacks by shrinking their bodies.

Similar to hail, water arrows are basically no longer a threat.

Of course, in the face of high-power spells such as fire meteors, pure water explosions, and tidal surges, the defensive effect will be greatly reduced, and you must find another way to deal with it.

After doing so, the four mages and the legislature Anglo went to the castle chamber to discuss the follow-up plan of action.

At the long table of the meeting, Rosen and Heagari naturally sat in the main seat, and Anvinia, Ladia, and Anglo sat on either side.

After sitting down, Lydia carefully played with the alloy god iron core in her hand, and the expression on her face was both love and hate.

"This magic weapon is really powerful, but the side effects are also quite big."

The biggest side effect is that the mana is passivated!

A large amount of new mana washes over the soul, and over time, it will reduce the mana control of the mage.

If you don't pay attention, you will greatly wear down your spellcasting ability and even drop stars.

As soon as she said this, the other two women nodded in agreement.

Rosen naturally knew about the side effects, but he himself had a countermeasure.

There are currently three options.

The first is to practice as much as possible.

The second is to endure the pain every once in a while to strengthen the soul tentacles.

Third, adjust the soul structure and open up a unique channel of power, so that the new mana can pass through the surface as much as possible, without washing away the deep soul structure.

Of course, these methods are not possible for ordinary people. Especially the second and third, which require not only sufficient soul knowledge, but also a tough soul.

But fortunately, as long as the core usage skills are mastered, the passivation effect is still within the acceptable range.

He smiled and comforted: "Everything in the world has a price, which is the basis of the law of fair trade."

"Also, you don't have to use it to the limit often, it's mainly for emergencies."

As long as you don't get stuck in the limit of your ability, the side effects of mana passivation will be greatly reduced.

Speaking of which, he gets straight to the point.

"Soon, Archmage Van Ganning will spread the news throughout Moby Dick Island. At that time, the remaining five families on the island will definitely join forces to deal with us."

"But because I have the legitimacy of the Great Lord, the staunch support of the Divine Temple, and the announcement of a new policy of tax exemption for the whole island for three years, it is difficult for the people of the five major families to mobilize the xenophobia of the islanders to isolate us."

"And the longer it goes on, the more popular the tax exemption is, the better it will be for us."

"So, the best way for them to deal with us is to dispatch the elite forces at the top as quickly as possible to perform a decapitating sniper kill on us."

Hearing this, a glimmer of apprehension and excitement flashed in Heyagari's eyes.

"Brother~ So what should we do?"

Rosen naturally had a plan ready.

"First of all, once the magic weapon detects that a large number of enemies are approaching, Jiali, you will immediately fly to an altitude of 5,000 meters in the Sky 2, ready to support at any time."

The cannon of the new fighter is loaded with 300 rune shells, and 30 were knocked out before, leaving 270 rounds.

This is their strongest attack power, and as long as it is used well, it can greatly reduce the difficulty of the battle.

"No problem!"

Heya Jiali looked excited, she was still reminiscing about the battle of a few seconds before, and she felt her hand

controlled the supreme power.

Rosen looked at Anvinia again, "Your mission is to provide a high-level thorn shield for every warrior in the castle."

Anvinia was shocked, "Teacher, I can't do it."

With the core of Shentie, I'm not afraid that the mana is not enough, but the spell is not mastered.

Lawson smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have prepared a secondary spell casting staff for this spell for you, with it, the difficulty has dropped from 14 stars to 9 stars. That's no problem, right?"

He handed a staff to Avinia.

He also knew that Anvinia's spellcasting ability had increased from the original 8 stars to 12 stars.

The reason why it's so fast is because her mana base is too huge.

Anvinia took the staff, felt it carefully, and then nodded, "Although there is still some weakness, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Then, Rosen looked at Ladia.

"The opponent chooses the decapitation tactic, and the attack time is likely to be in the dark night. The vision in the dark is extremely poor, which is very unfavorable for high-speed flight."

"So, your mission is to follow Madame to the heavens, and work with Laliana to assist Madame in observing the situation on the ground in order to deal with possible unexpected situations."

Ladia nodded, "Yes, lord."

Heyagari asked, "Is my brother still going to use the Storm Realm?"

Lawson nodded, "That's right. But it's a little different from before, it was an encounter before, and there was not much preparation. And this time, we're on the defensive side."

Heya Gari was very worried about Lawson's safety, and quickly asked, "What's the difference?"

"Later, I will set up mirror runes in the castle and the area of White Gull, as long as I have a thought, the runes will generate my image, which can greatly confuse my opponents."

"Plus, there's plenty of sturdy bunkers."

"Just hide in for five or six seconds, and my mana will be enough to get back into battle."

"In addition, I have two spare Star Mystic Gems in the back cabin, for a total of 2,000 Fosa, both full. It's more than enough for me to deal with the unexpected."

3000 Fosa's Star Mystery Gems, all the idle gems are here, and you can access the consumption of 3 Master Level 9 spells.

Then, the super-sensitive probes ensure that they have a first-mover advantage.

The sports tactics of the home field advantage, coupled with the interference of various phantoms, the lore of Sky No. 2, and the backing of 500 elite soldiers, I don't believe in the elite of the five major families.

Heya Gari was still a little worried.

"Brother, wouldn't you be too impatient? Actually, you can take your time."

Rosen shook his head: "If it's inland, it's really urgent, and it will cause huge trouble. But the archipelago is different."

"This place is closed to information, and the connection with the mainland is very weak, so it will not cause interference from other local noble lords."

"In the previous battles, it can be seen that the islanders have a strong temperament and advocate force. Conquering them by force is the quickest and least troubled way."

As he spoke, he used a separate voice of his heart.

"Carrie, developing the archipelago as soon as possible will not only allow us to be together faster, but also to deal with the transcendent battle that may break out at any time."

Heyagari was taken aback: "Transcendental battle...... Will it erupt at any time?"

"Yes, anytime. Before it erupts, we must gather enough strength as soon as possible."

"Then why don't you make this news public throughout the Golden Land? So that we can unite us?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Heya Jiali felt that her words were a little childish.

"Oh~ It seems hard to unite."

Not all mortals have the courage to stand up to the gods, because there is an easy way to be a dog!

Obviously, this must be the choice of most mortals.

Therefore, if this news is really to be announced, not to mention the widespread panic, I am afraid that the land of gold will immediately fall apart and become a land of war.

Rosen looked at her

Knowing that she had figured it out, she said softly, "Let's develop it first and show the ability to fight against the extraordinary, then we can gather a large number of followers."

How?

Of course, it is an extraordinary feat to show, such as building a large floating city with a diameter of more than 1 meter.

He looked at Anglo again, "General, do you have any questions?"

Anglo looked a little worried, "There are less than 4,000 rune bullets left."

Automatic rifles are too powerful, and the longer you use them, the more you rely on them.

He now thinks that the traditional martial arts of the samurai are very ridiculous, and he himself has not used them for a long time, and in addition to endurance and strength training, he is all practicing the use of guns.

I figured out how to shoot more accurately, and how to use the rifle to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations.

And now that there are not enough bullets, my heart is suddenly panicked.

Rosen smiled, "Don't panic. If nothing else, in another hour or two, the supplies will be there."

Anglo nodded, "I hope to get supplies soon."

But he didn't see the real thing, so he kept thinking about it.

Rosen couldn't explain it, so he clapped his hands.

"Alright, after an afternoon of petrification, the mages are tired, so let's rest, gather energy, and be ready for a big battle."

There are enough rooms in the castle, all are quite well decorated and comfortable to stay in.

Several mages were indeed tired, so they all went to rest, but Lawson was still full of energy.

Armed with a magic weapon and guarded by a team of hundreds, he began to set up various runes around the castle.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Anglo came to report.

"Lord, we've received a communication from Master Hal that they will be there soon!"

His face was relaxed, and all the pressure in his heart was dissipated.

Lawson's eyes also lit up: "It's just in time!"

After a while, a black dot flew into the sky.

When I flew closer, I found that it was a group of square hovercars.

This is a cargo hover, which is used to transport supplies.

Crescent Town only built ten vehicles urgently, and at this time they were all used.

Each car is not big, the cargo compartment is square, 5 meters long, 3 meters wide, 2 meters high, the cargo capacity is about 8 tons, the highest suspension is 2,000 meters high, and the fastest speed is 400 meters per hour.

There's nothing technical to build.

In fact, except for the two core components of the Divine Iron Core and the Star Arcane Gem, everything else was created by the alchemy apprentices.

A magic weapon of this quality naturally can't be used in battle, but as a logistics transport vehicle, it is completely sufficient.

And this is only the first batch of materials, and there will be many more batches in the future, which will be sent one by one.

The lead driving mage is Howl.

After he stepped out of the hovercar first, he opened the rear cargo box of the hovercar with a "clang".

The cargo boxes of other hovertrucks were also opened one by one.

Among the supplies, there were 50,000 standard rune bullets, 300 cannon shells, and a lot of food, medicine, and first-aid materials.

It solves the urgent need at once.

In addition, there is also a group of servants brought over from the crescent moon tie, mainly cooks, personal maids, sundries attendants, and so on.

These minions are certainly not necessary, but most importantly, they can be trusted.

Otherwise, this person is unfamiliar with the place, and the devil knows if the servants will infiltrate the opponent's people.

Either poison or make trouble at a critical time, that is really a small person to change big history.

Seeing the arrival of the second batch of supplies, Rosen's mood suddenly became much more relaxed.

He walked over to greet Hal.

"Is the road going well?"

Hal patted the carriage and smiled, "It's going very well, this thing drives very steadily, but the loading capacity is less, and the speed is slower."

Lawson smiled, "I'll use it for now, and when the archipelago develops, I'll study a faster and bigger hovercar."

and looked at it again

The mages he drove were also hired by the Crescent Lord.

All of them were mid-level mages, and they were all a little tired because they had been driving the hovercar for nearly ten hours in a row.

Rosen waved his hand, "Okay, let's go and rest, the room is ready."

"Wait a minute, dinner will be ready."

So, the warriors, the minions began to help unload the car.

After a while, the cooks cooked the food, and the thick aroma of the food soon filled the whole castle.
