Chapter 175: Foot Washing Water (Part 1)
From Baron Espol's mouth, Ge Zheng learned that the entire underworld was a continuous gray-black continent, and the vastness came from the endless nothingness, looking at the endless nothingness. No one had ever seen what the end of the continent looked like. Even the strongest of the Emperors of the Underworld had never reached the edge of the Underworld.
The Underworld is the legendary land of gods. I have never heard of stories about the Underworld God tens of thousands of years ago. It seems that he has completely rested after creating this continent. He threw this continent to countless races in the Underworld and let it go.
There was originally only one Emperor of the Underworld, but three thousand years ago, the Emperor of the Underworld dreamed of summoning the God of the Underworld at night. He put on his full set of Emperor of the Underworld war suits early the next morning, and went to the edge of the underworld alone, never back. After he left, the three most powerful people under his seat were not convinced by each other. As a result, a melee of the Underworld was divided into three, and the three Great Underworld proclaimed emperors. For three thousand years, the struggles and wars continued, and the blood of the warriors in the underworld irrigated the fertile land.
Baron Espol is a small baron under the command of the Emperor "Ye Emperor". He was an ordinary soldier. He made considerable military achievements on the battlefield of Zhongzhou Mountain. After returning home, he was named a baron. Espol has a strong rural complex. In order to protect his villagers, he specially built a fence wall and sent his son to defeat the No. 1 general under the Emperor "Wolf-Virus Pluto" to learn skills. In just three years, his son Shandru's power surpassed his father. Although he spent a lot of Nether Crystal Coins, Baron Espol also thought it was very cost-effective.
In the underworld, gold mines can be seen everywhere. When a mountain is dug up, there are rich gold reserves inside. The same is true for magic crystals. The magic energy in magic crystals cannot be stimulated in the underworld. The use of magic can only rely on the advantageous magic elements or dark crystals in the air.
The creatures in the underworld polish the dark crystal into pieces and become magic crystal coins. Only ordinary dark crystals will be polished into dark crystal coins. Higher-level dark crystals will be hard currency without polishing.
So in the underworld, gold, magic crystal stone and other things that are extremely precious in the human world will become garbage when they are dumped. Gold becomes "waste residue" produced during the mining of the underworld. If you find a valley to pile it up, the valley will become a garbage dump.
Baron Espol is the lowest-level noble in the underworld. There are countless marquis and counts under the three great emperors. In addition to these nobles, the most powerful ones are the Purits and the Great Purits. Each of the Underworld has three Great Purits, and each of the Great Purits has three Great Purits. Only when you reach the level of the Underworld can you be considered a real Great Purits.
Even the same Emperor of the Underworld often fights each other, and it is not shameful but proud to use war to the underworld. The Underworld has always regarded the strong as the most respected, and emphasizes the use of war to support war and practice in battle. Therefore, the Nether Emperor's opponents never ask about the mutual conquest between each other. As long as he leads his troops to fight, the Great Devil's underworld and the Great Devil can bring all his troops to the emperor to fight.
In such an environment, small nobles like Baron Espol are the most easily conquered. If it weren't for Sandrew being a student of Wolf Poison, Baron Espol's territory might have long been annexed by other nobles. It is precisely because Baron Espol protected the villagers that their family had a very high prestige among the villagers.
Ge Zheng asked the Baron about the situation of Mount Pallas. The Baron frowned and said, "Mount Pallas is not easy to go. Mount Pallas is the most dangerous mountain in the Zhongzhou Mountains. The Zhongzhou Mountains are located in the center of the underworld and have always been the place where the Emperor of the Underworld established the palace. The three Emperors of the Underworld all seemed to have obtained this mountain to declare that they are the orthodox Emperor. Therefore, the central battlefield of the war in the Underworld in the Zhongzhou Mountains has been the center of the underworld war in recent years. It is really difficult and dangerous to climb Mount Pallas!"
Ge Zheng and Sosa looked at each other: they already knew that the strength level of the underworld, the land of death, was different from that of the human world, with a total of thirty levels. Before level 13, they were the same as the strength level of the human world, which means that the top power of the human race here, the thirteenth-level title-titled profession here is just a medium-lower level, that is, Sandru's strength level.
Sosa is just a level 11 warrior. He wants to enter Mount Pallas among the thousands of troops in the underworld - this is almost an impossible task.
Anyone who encounters an underworld army can crush them back and forth several times like a carriage crushing a mantis.
"Sir, sir, it's not good!" A villager rushed in in panic: "Sir Baron, the recruitment order of His Highness Wolf Poison Pluto is here!"
Baron Espol's face changed and he sighed and said, "Oh, this is nothing to do. Go down and check it. This time it's the men from those families' turn. Let them prepare their weapons and go to war with me." The villager said panic: "Sir, this time the matter is probably a bit bad. The conscription order of His Highness Wolf Poison Pluto clearly requires that the number of troops this time should be at least twice as many as before!"
Baron Espol's expression also became solemn: "Does His Highness Ye Emperor launch a hundred-year battle in advance?" The villagers could not answer this question. He waved his hand to let the villagers go down and fell into meditation.
Sosa raised an eyebrow at Ge Zheng, meaning that this was an opportunity. If you mingle with the army, you would have a better chance to reach Mount Pallas.
Ge Zheng was not very willing, but now he can only take one step at a time.
"Master Baron, we want to join your army, what do you think?" Ge Zheng asked tentatively. Espol's eyes lit up: "Of course I can't ask for it!" But he quickly understood: "Do you want to take the opportunity to enter Mount Pallas?" Ge Zheng said: "We all take our needs, and we promise to help the adult army win!"
Ge Zheng's group of people had unknown origins, so Baron Espol had to consider it. He did not agree immediately, but arranged for Ge Zheng and the others to stay and wait for the next day before replying to them.
In the evening, no one could be seen on the streets of the village. Ge Zheng and the others were wondering, and through the window, they saw gray smoke columns slowly rising into the sky dozens of kilometers away. "What is that?" Ge Zheng asked in surprise.
"That's the Storm Pillar." A voice answered him. When Ge Zheng turned around, it turned out to be Sandru.
The proud young Rakshasa girl now has a respectful attitude and no longer regards Ge Zheng as a waste magician who "plays with fire". "The night storm in the underworld is rampant, mixed with sand and dust the size of beans, which can penetrate wooden boards. So at night, the underworld is completely quiet. Except for super strong people, ordinary people will never go out at night." He smashed the wall made of solid logs with his hands: "This house is very sturdy, you don't have to worry."
Sure enough, at night, the ghosts and wolves howled outside the house, and the sand crackled against the wall, making Ge Zheng not sleep well all night. The natives of the underworld had long been used to such nights, and they slept very soundly.
After a night of consideration, Baron Espol finally decided to bring Ge Zheng and the others. After all, the joining of such a team with strong combat power is enough to increase the combat effectiveness of Baron Espol's army by two levels. This temptation is not something that ordinary people can withstand.
However, Baron Espol also had his own requirements: he wanted Ge Zheng's son to be a student.
The underworld regards the strong as the most respected, and there is no concept of a "teacher". A powerful warrior often has to learn from several teachers. Baron Espol saw Ge Zheng's "powerfulness" and became interested. Doing this will kill two birds with one stone: it can not only allow his son to learn some more advanced combat skills, but also let his son follow Ge Zheng to monitor them just in case.
The conscription order of Wolf Poison Pluto was very urgent, and three days later the Baron's army set out. When the first Underworld army appeared in front of Ge Zheng, he could only describe it in one word: it was terrible!
The Baron's two hundred troops stood in a queue, tall, fat, thin, and bumpy, without any "military appearance". The races in the underworld were chaotic, but there were more than 20 different races in such a small village of about a thousand people. Because there were too many races, the craftsmen in the underworld could not produce standard armor at all, and it was impossible to tailor it for each warrior. Therefore, armor is a luxury in the underworld, and only high-level warriors can own it, while ordinary soldiers hang an amulet around their necks.
The amulet can release simple defensive and blessing magic. The smaller the amulet, the more exquisite it is, the greater the power it is. However, the Baron soldiers, each of them had a basin-sized amulet hanging around their necks. In addition, with a long rope, the amulet of a short and fat group of hedgehogs soldiers dragged to the ground.
Seeing Baron Espol's appearance of being very content with his army, Ge Zheng could guess what the army of other lords in the world looked like.
Ge Zheng is not very good at refining amulets. After all, the defense effect of amulets is far inferior to that of armor. Armor is the best choice for the army in the human world.
He intended to help the Baron improve the equipment level of the army, but he tempted it with words. The baron was "poor" in alchemy and had almost no materials. A clever woman could not cook without rice, so Ge Zheng had to give up this idea and ended up having a leisurely life.
The army was slowly advancing on the vast wasteland. At night, the four magicians in the army sat on four corners holding a handful of dark crystal coins in their hands, supporting a magic energy defense cover to protect the entire army. Early the next morning, the four magicians were almost exhausted. So the few horses in the army had to be given to them, and even the Baron himself had to march on foot.
Four days later, Lord Baron's army merged into a large army and was carried by this large army of only three thousand people and headed north. As Ge Zheng expected, the equipment of the underworld army could not describe the degree of business trip by one "extraordinary", but at least three "extraordinary" were used.
