Outside the castle, all the workers and fourth-level warriors also boarded the airship.
Baron Bezos stood there, and at this moment he seemed to have regained the feeling of his youth.
The desire for knowledge and exploration in my heart is boiling.
The adventure that he had not continued for a long time gave him the confidence and vitality of a young man.
In fact, he was not a very good explorer.
When I was young, I encountered life-threatening dangers more than once, and even sacrificed the lives of many accompanying soldiers.
But the adventure also gave him strong inner strength and experience.
If everyone is compared to a sharp sword, then adventure is the whetstone in his life.
And Baron Bezos is not as mediocre as he seems.
In previous expeditions, he also had successful experiences, and he also obtained some powerful ancient weapons or magic props in those ruins.
It's just that he doesn't want to show it. The trump card can only be called a trump card if it is hidden in his hand.
Moreover, he has long foreseen the coming of great chaos, and these ancient items may be able to change his destiny.
Not only the lords have their own plans, but the aborigines also have their own plans.
It's just that there are not many people like Baron Bezos who are sober and can prepare for a rainy day.
As the prelude to great chaos and great integration gradually unfolds, more and more indigenous people will react.
However, conflicts may not necessarily break out first between the indigenous people and the lords.
The backlog of problems within the Aboriginal people include low productivity, class fragmentation, wealth fragmentation, and extremely difficult paths for upward promotion. These are all serious internal conflicts.
There are also alien races dormant everywhere and hidden dangers on the continent such as the White Walkers, which are also triggers.
If one were to explode randomly, huge chaos would inevitably erupt within the aborigines.
Baron Bezos stood there and watched Eagle Sauce disappear into the sky before he walked into the pod.
The metal pod door slowly closed, accompanied by the "rumbling" sound of six sets of turbofans starting.
The airship floated into the air and slowly began to take off.
The speed is much slower than that of Yingjiang. It is estimated that it will wait until the airship rises to a suitable height.
Eagle Sauce has already flown dozens of kilometers away.
Even with a dozen people on his back, Yingjiang was still as fast as the wind.
Its maximum speed can reach more than 600 kilometers per hour.
When the speed increases, it is equivalent to traveling more than ten kilometers per minute.
Such air navigation speed is no less than that of old-fashioned propeller airliners.
Flying at such extreme speeds, everyone on its back has to withstand huge winds.
There was even a "whirring" sound in my ears.
The scales on Yingjiang's body play a big role in stabilizing everyone's figure.
Everyone tightly grasped the scales and lowered their heads to prevent their faces from facing the airflow.
Only Zong Shen is the most calm, because his position is also the best.
He was riding behind Yingjiang's neck, with Yingjiang's neck and big head in front of him.
This is a natural barrier that can block part of the airflow.
As he was rushing forward with all his strength, Zong Shen couldn't care less about the scenery.
There is no good scenery along the way.
After eight or ninety kilometers to the north, we entered the mountains.
This mountainous area has the same origin as the northern mountainous area near Zongshen's territory.
It can be regarded as an extension of the northern mountainous area. The mountainous area is thousands of kilometers long and is a natural barrier connecting the northern part of the Kingdom of Avalon to the Kingdom of Nord.
It is a typical "liang no matter" zone, and currently the two kingdoms have no intention of constructing or developing it.
There are many mountainous areas of this size throughout the continent.
Since there are no large-scale wars, the resources within the kingdom are abundantly supplied.
Therefore, there is no need to develop mountains, forests and valleys.
This is why Azshara's abandoned mines have never been reopened.
Since there is no shortage of resources, who will go through the thankless task of clearing out the mines?
After all, the mine involves a lot, and the development process will inevitably encounter obstacles from resurrected undead monsters and cave creatures.
It is precisely because of this situation that the lords are given room for development.
The mountain forests in the north block part of the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Avalon.
It is distributed from east to west and is a buffer area.
The Kingdom Straight Road was built near the East China Sea and at the end of the mountains in the west as the official passage between the two kingdoms. In addition, giant cities near the border and even a few fortress-type cities had corresponding teleportation circles.
These teleportation circles need to be opened in both directions. One party sends a teleportation request and the other party agrees before the teleportation circle can be successfully opened.
In short, humans rarely set foot in this mountain forest.
It is not easy to cross this mountain forest.
Only villagers from the border areas and some hunting groups and mercenary groups entered the mountains and forests.
There are a large number of raptors, beasts, and various alien races living in it.
There are even rumors that some churches have built secret strongholds in similar places.
In addition to these anecdotes, there are also some precious forging materials and magic materials.
It can also be regarded as a bloody land for adventurers and fertile ground for wealth.
Zong Shen blocked the airflow with his arms and looked down at the scenery below.
The mountain forest is very lush, and it is green as far as the eye can see.
The mountains rise and fall, creating valleys, basins, cliffs, and a wide variety of scenery.
A rough name can be summarized as "mountain forest".
In fact, the details of the internal terrain are simply ever-changing.
A place like this, desolate and uninhabited, should be an area rich in resources.
However, during the flight, Zong Shen discovered that there were also territories within the mountains and forests.
The trees around the locations where lords landed were basically cut down, so they were easily identifiable. These territories were usually located on a slightly open mountainside.
There are also some places like mountains and streams.
This is not a strange thing, because Zongze's territory is also in the mountains.
In addition, Zong Shen also discovered that the regions in the mountain forest were not densely divided.
Unlike them in the plains, areas are close to each other.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this mountainous area, there is often a blank area of tens of kilometers after flying over an area.
After flying over the empty area, we entered another area.
The reason for this may be related to the terrain, or it may be related to specific environmental conditions.
Just observing all the way, Yingjiang has arrived in the sky above the destination.
The whole journey takes less than fifty minutes.
Following the guide's navigation prompts, he quickly saw the lake where his destination was.
The area of this lake is not small. Even when viewed from an altitude of several thousand meters, it looks like a round mirror.
To the north of the lake is an open space, and to the south are several mountains with a height of more than a thousand meters.
The lake is right next to the foot of the mountain and looks quite conspicuous.
In addition, this area is also a blank area in the mountain forest where no lord has come.
The residence ruins of the Knights of the Lion are located at the foot of the mountain by the lake according to the instructions.
After more than 10,000 years of changes, the terrain has changed.
The ruins were buried, and the foot of the mountain rose accordingly.
It is almost impossible for the nearby lords to discover the remains of the settlement here.
They have no strategy tips unless they can get out of the mountains and catch up with the aboriginal master who knows the secret.
Otherwise, we have to wait until someone explores the area and discovers the ruins by chance.
Zong Shen patted Yingjiang's neck and let it fall.
In order not to alarm those shallow-water murlocs, Zong Shen changed his landing place.
He chose the top of the mountain as his landing point.
From a high position here, you may be able to observe the ruins at the foot of the mountain and see the lake.
If you fall directly at the foot of a mountain or next to a lake, it's like putting your face up to be beaten by those shallow-water fishmen.
Overlord-level dragon-veined gryphons plus thirteen human uninvited guests.
I'm afraid it will arouse the hostility of the shallow-water fishmen as soon as it lands.
So Zong Shen chose a conservative landing location before Baron Bezos arrived.
He was not prepared to break out into a full-scale conflict with those fishmen if necessary.
Yingjiang naturally had no objection, and it landed on the cliff at the top of the mountain according to Zong Shen's order.
The top of the mountain here is completely bare and made of hard rock.
Fortunately, the top of the cliff is not too small, enough for Ying Jiang to land freely, and it also ensures that everyone can move around.
When they fell, Yingjiang approached from the other side of the mountain. This was also Zong Shen's request, and they tried not to be exposed in advance.
After landing, Zong Shen immediately jumped down to the cliff.
The view here is excellent, with no lush trees interfering with the view.
Most of the plants grow on the mountainside.
Looking from the cliff, you can see far away places, including the bend of the lake.
After all, this mountain is more than a thousand meters high and is a natural lookout and commanding height.
Zong Shen took out the [Single Telescope (Purple)] and began to observe the lake.
With the telescope's enhanced vision, he could finally see the details of the environment near the lake.
It was like a paradise. The area of the lake was very large, at least ten times the size of the small lake where the abandoned dragon's nest that Zong Shen had visited before was located.
There is nothing happening on the lake shore on this side near the foot of the mountain, that is, on the south shore of the lake.
On the contrary, there are traces of shallow-water fish-man activities at the two corresponding locations on the east bank and west bank.
Because Zong Shen saw many dome-shaped huts made of wood on the shore of the lake.
Many of them are built directly into the lake, and they use logs to build their foundations.
Zong Shen had never seen a fish-man before.
Until now, he saw the so-called shallow water fishman through the telescope.
Because the distance is too far, even with the field of view bonus granted by the telescope, only some figures can be seen vaguely.
These shallow-water fishmen are very small, comparable to ordinary goblins.
The whole body is light blue, and seems to have fish-like scales with mucus.
The head is also very strange, shaped like a fish head. Unfortunately, the specific facial features cannot be seen clearly. There is also a row of blue fins from the back of the head to the spine. It has four limbs, as well as webbed palms and soles.
No more details can be seen, and even part of the appearance was made up by Zong Shen.
Anyway, this so-called shallow-water fishman is not related to a mermaid. As the name suggests, it is a real "fishman". Just looking at its appearance, it looks like a fish with four limbs and the ability to walk upright.
Therefore, the name Fishman has no artistic elements at all.
Both simple and true.
There are a large number of turrets on the east and west sides of the lake, roughly counting at least thousands.
As for the north shore, it is really far away from here, and with the mist rising vaguely from the lake, it is like a white gauze covering the north shore.
There is nothing on the south bank, there seems to be no shallow water fishman activity.
This is actually very abnormal. There should be something near the south bank that the fish people are very afraid of.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen leaned out halfway again, wanting to see the situation at the foot of the mountain.
However, the trees on the mountainside were so dense that they blocked the view from the top of the mountain.
"It's difficult to do. We still have to find a way to go down and have a look."
"Let's ask the guide beforehand."
Zong Shen retracted his leaning body and sat directly on the edge of the cliff.
Start asking about the strategy module.
"Please tell me how many murlocs there are in the lake?"
"How good are these fishmen in combat?"
"Why don't they build palapas on the south bank?"
Zong Shen raised questions in his mind one after another.
Perhaps because he had one problem after another this time, the strategy module did not provide immediate feedback.
After about two or three seconds, the golden prompt subtitles slowly appeared.
(The lake is home to the shallow-water murlocs of the Riptide Tribe. They have reproduced here for hundreds of years. Currently, there are 617 murloc cubs, 4,714 ordinary murlocs, 2,192 elite steel-spear murloc warriors, and 2,192 elite-level murlocs.
827 human wavebreakers, 311 captain-level murloc prophets, 125 captain-level murloc nightcrawlers, 52 leader-level shallow water trekkers, and 6 overlord-level wave masters.
(Shallow-water murlocs are weaker than human warriors and spellcasters at the same level, but this is their home field. There is a murloc altar on the north shore. There will be tight defenses there and it is extremely difficult to break through.
As for why they don’t breed on the south bank, it’s because there are often groups of fifth-level lion and skeleton knights coming out of the ruins to wreak havoc on the lake shore. Over time, they will abandon the south bank.)
"hiss!"
After reading the content of the strategy tips, Zong Shen took a breath of cold air.
The scale of this fishman tribe exceeded his imagination.
The total number of fishmen of all types and levels reached more than 8,000.
There are 6 overlord-level murlocs alone.
Judging from this numerical ratio, Zong Shen estimated that the strength of the best among them should not be underestimated.
Fortunately, murlocs are not immortal species, and their individual strength is similar to that of kobolds.
Compared with humans, their combat effectiveness is slightly inferior.
However, the numerical gap between the two sides is really too big, and it is unreasonable to be stubborn.
Zong Shen had no other intentions for this.
It's four to five hundred kilometers from here to Bospan.
Counting the straight-line distance, it is thousands of kilometers to the territory.
He had no interest in taming a group of murloc warriors so far apart.
At least in the short term, such an idea is unrealistic.
In the future, when the territory develops into a huge city, maybe Zong Shen will have the leisure and elegance to tame them.
After all, alien units like this do not take up command points.
He can completely replicate the pattern of conquering the gryphon's nest.
Directly tame the leader of this murloc tribe called the Riptide Tribe.
Achieve a state of indirect rule.
These murlocs can be used as additional combat power, and they do not occupy the command points anyway.
In the future, Zong Shen said that some branch cities may be built, and he may even consider building a giant coastal city.
Then these fishmen will come in handy.
Although they live in fresh water, in fact the most suitable home for fishmen is still the ocean.
This is also due to the nature in the blood, but compared with the ocean, the lake here can be considered a safe habitat.
The reason why these shallow-water fishmen do not move around on the south bank is actually because there are undead in the ruins that have been disturbed.
To be able to make the murlocs retreat, the strength of those undead knights must not be weak, and their numbers must be large. Otherwise, these more than 8,000 murlocs would never act like they can't afford to fight or hide.
This information also indirectly proves the two elements emphasized by the previous guide and Baron Bezos.
"Undead" and "murlocs".
If you can solve these two problems, this exploration will be extremely easy.
Although the fishmen abandoned the south coast, they did not completely ignore it.
Zong Shen discovered during the observation just now that many simple sentries were built on the east and west banks adjacent to the south bank, and ditches were dug out, turning a hundred meters of land on the lake shore into a pulpy quagmire.
, in such mud, even the movement of the undead bone horse will be affected.
There are also groups of fishman warriors patrolling nearby.
Obviously these little blue guys still attach great importance to the situation on the south bank.
It also proved that those lion skeleton knights had caused heavy losses to them.
Otherwise, these murlocs would never be so vulnerable to the enemy.
Such a situation would be very detrimental to Zong Shen's future actions.
Even if they don't actively provoke the murlocs, once they excavate ruins at the foot of the mountain or fight the resurrected lion skeleton knights, they will inevitably be discovered by the patrolling murlocs.
If these weird little things insist on disrupting the situation, Zong Shen and Bezos will be in a very dangerous situation.
What Zong Shen brought this time were elite soldiers and generals with rich combat experience.
Including himself, he also has many means and strong fighting power.
But there is no advantage at all here.
On one side is a large murloc tribe, and on the other side is a powerful lion and skeleton knight.
They can only concentrate all their efforts on one side and cannot withstand the pressure and consequences of fighting on two fronts.
The resurrected Lion Skeleton Knights in the ruins are all warriors of the original Lion Knights.
Zong Shen estimated that their strength would definitely not be comparable to Richardson who was wandering near the Boneyard.
But these guys were still fifth-level warriors when they were alive, and they came from the previous era with higher gold content. Even if they become undead knights and their strength is reduced to a certain extent, they should not become too bad.
Moreover, these knights are not Richardson, and they will not have a strong chivalry spirit to suppress the will to kill.
The skeleton knight controlled by the killing instinct is the real nightmare.
Therefore, the combat power displayed by these guys is at least above that of a fourth-level knight!
