654. Camp behind enemy lines

In the library of the Orser Ruins, there are also a number of metal plates from the Goblin Era, most of which are the magic patterns and mechanical knowledge of that era. While the two old goblins were arguing outside the library, Rand took a few girls to sift through the technical catalog.

The goblin civilization has lasted tens of thousands of years, and their library also has a very complete search and preview system, with a metal circle on the metal bookcase, which can be used to explore the catalog of metal pieces in the entire bookshelf with a touch of your hand.

After a rough preview, Rand said to Sophia and Jonny, "Sophia, you and Jonny find time to call Cardinals and come here to study the goblin pattern and mana transmission. ”

"Mm-hmm," Sophia nodded desperately, "that's great, I believe it won't be long before our magic furnace will be on par with the goblins!" ”

Nowadays, the magic exploration projects in the Rand Territory have been divided into several grades according to the level of secrecy and the level of the world involved.

The first is the study of the magic of the Goblin Age, there are two existing goblins that used to be demigods and are now at a high level, and there are still a lot of technical documents from the Goblin Age left. Sophia and Jonny are the main players in this research project, and their priority research direction is the transformation of the new era magic furnace and the linkage between the magic furnace.

Due to the fact that the living goblin saga is too glamorous, the level of secrecy of this research project is equivalent to that of Rand's dream kingdom, and currently only the Great Elves, Wendy, Lili, Sophia, and Jonny know, not even Gruya.

The second is the study of the current Poseidon magic and ancient mermaid magic, the main force is Wendy, Akicao, Jenny Galloping Horse and Edith, Edith has seen a lot of ancient mermaid magic scrolls in her childhood, the old goblin mage Mogro knows the pronunciation of the mermaid back then, Autumn grass is an expert in sound and Wendy is an expert in magic patterns.

Another focus of this research was to study the Kraken Clan's magical seaweed cultivation methods, with the participation of Firefly and Tierney, as well as a Sea Beast Archmage from the Northern Lakes and a local River Clan High Mage.

There are many participants in Poseidon magic research, but only a few people know the full picture of the project, such as Jenny Galloping Horse and Mermaid Mage Edith, who are no longer involved in the Magic Seaweed Project, and Tierney and Jonny who are not involved in the Merfolk Magic Project.

The rest of the research projects are relatively open, such as the restoration of magic plants in Harkala, the development of new magic drinks, the cultivation of magic crops in Tierney, the development of several magic pattern products in Rand, and the research on Warcraft midwifery in Firefly and the half-elf Kanna Dante.

After combing through the magic items at hand with the girls, everyone let out an exclamation: "There are too few reliable mages in the territory now!" ”

The galloping horse family didn't dare to use it, the imperial capital wanted to lie flat, the level in the iron mine was too low, and the one in the galloping horse academy didn't grow, so only a few girls came in turns, and even Jenny and Edith, who had just joined, and the two intermediate stegosaurus had already entered the very core level.

After compiling a list of his cronies, Rand also frowned, and said to Wendy: "Let's see how Daqira Wyvern, Britt Lanyuan and that Drocy Holy Fire are, can I help you share some of it." In addition, I am afraid that some technologies still have to be opened to the Tower of Purity or the Red Dragon Rock, otherwise we really don't have that much effort to explore carefully. ”

Hearing that Rand was going to share the magic plan, Wendy was the first to frown and said, "We should set up a Magister Workshop for each technology and open it to outsiders, and the Galloping Horse Fund will not subsidize us!" ”

……

Digging up a surviving goblin mechanic is just an episode of Rand digging a passage to Hindukr, but with the cooperation of Orphen and the magic furnace, the excavation work is smoother.

Orfen pointed out a natural passage for the Black Rabbit to the southern forests of the Hindukir, which the Black Rabbit and Elsa only needed to do a little widening.

By the early morning of 23 September, a carriage-wide passage had been completed, and the western exit of the passage was just outside the vast southern forests of the Hindukr.

Rand had passed through this place many times before when he was returning to Iowa from the basin, and from the sky, the ground was completely covered by a canopy dozens of meters high, and it was difficult to penetrate the trees even if it was observation magic.

Rand led the Demon Tiger and Elsa and Mishaniel Hemlock to explore ahead, opening the way by the way, with Nedland Wilson leading 50 barbarians in the middle, and finally 200 auxiliaries driving 20 carriages of various types.

Soon, the Netherlands led the knights over a 10-meter-wide and 20-meter-long stone bridge, which had just been built by Elsa, and the river below the bridge was the boundary river of the Iowa Valley a few dozen kilometers to the north.

The Netherlands, who had first stepped into the hinterland of the Hindukr, wondered why Rand had only brought so many people with him on this expedition.

After crossing the Boundary River, the forest became denser, and without the two great goblins opening the way, the cavalry would not have been able to move an inch through the forest.

Rand looked at the lush forest and sighed, "I really should have brought Imola here, she has the most experience in setting up camp in the forest!" ”

When the group reached 10 kilometers from the exit of the cave, Rand and the two big goblins built an improvised camp, and arranged for a logistics wagon to be stationed on the spot and set up some tents.

"This is the first supply depot for our future westward operation,"

Rand looked at the camp that had just been built, and said to the Netherlands, "This camp is one kilometer north before leaving the forest, and the orcs will not chase after it, we will camp every 20 kilometers to the west, so as to give the cavalry a fast passage in the forest, so that the orcs cannot know our whereabouts and goals, and we cannot cut off our logistics line." ”

Nedland nodded, "I see, I thought you were here to attack." ”

"The attack can't be done in the near future, but after the orc army assembles near Iowa next month, you can sweep here with cavalry." Rand said with a smile.

"You lead people to continue to follow the two great goblins to build the road, and strive to repair it to the westernmost part of the Hindukr before the end of the month. I will also install the magic furnace in the next two days, and once it is completed, I will take you to walk around the basin to get to know the neutral city-states and various tribes south of the basin, and when you attack in the future, you must avoid these neutral city-states! ”

"Yes, my lord," Nedland nodded, if it was an ordinary barbarian or a knight, he would definitely think that anyone who looks like an orc should be an enemy, and there is no need to distinguish between them. However, the Netherlands understood that friends and foes are often not about appearances, and that if you want to achieve greater victories, you need to distinguish between friends and foes.
