Chapter 244 Mineral Veins
Three days later, the city of Mantler was stationed in the support force.
At the gate of the courtyard.
Barr watched as the figures in front gradually faded away before turning back to the yard.
"Bar, there are more than a dozen generals of the empire who have visited you these days. If you were not the Taurus clan, the senior leaders of the empire would have spared no effort to win over them."
The sound came from the west side of the yard.
Looking in the direction of the sound, two figures were sitting at the stone table. On the left was Rouhani, whom he had known before, and the other was the young winged man lord Yale who returned to Mantler City with him.
"I didn't expect that you are not only strong enough, but also able to use legion-level abilities. I was also a little surprised when I first heard it." Rouhani smiled.
"You two."
Barr smiled and shook his head, sat back at the table, and looked at Yale opposite him, "I heard that for the sake of that iceberg, the great figures of all races are almost here. Even the elves and dwarves are coming, and several lord-level powerful people have also come."
"It's been a few days since this, is there anything there?"
Rouhani also looked at Yale.
The Winged Man is an affiliated race of the Lion Man. As a genius of the Winged Man, he is a lord who has reached the rank of the leader. Yale has a very high relationship with some senior figures in the empire, and the news is much more informed than the two of them.
“As far as I know.”
"The outside of the iceberg was shrouded in a powerful barrier, and several lord-level powerful men joined forces but failed to break it."
"The barrier should have existed for a long time, and there are some weak places on the outside." Yale said, "All races sent people in, even high-level leaders, but almost all of them died inside. The few who escaped by chance were seriously injured and dying."
“It is said.”
"Mark, the powerful lord on the human side, has also been in. He finally escaped. I heard that he was also seriously injured. As for what is going on inside, it's not clear." Yale continued.
"What, even the powerful lord was injured." Barr and Haruni were both surprised.
"After Mark escaped due to injury, the powerful lords of other tribes were also very cautious and did not dare to go in easily." Yale said, "I guess this iceberg should not be a simple thing."
"Now the focus of all races is on that iceberg, and the war is probably about to end." Rouhani said.
"Yeah." Barr agreed.
"End? How can it end?" Yale shook his head, "Yesterday afternoon, there were several crystal veins around the iceberg, as well as extremely purified ice element crystal ore. The reserves of these crystal ores are extremely large, and they are probably much larger than those of large veins."
"besides."
"There are also many rare ice-type ore veins that have been discovered, and the reserves are also quite large."
"It's bigger than large veins." Barr was also shocked. There is no need to say much about the value of crystals. The higher the purity of elemental crystals, the sharply the value, and some are even more precious than crystals without attributes.
With such a large-scale mineral vein, all races will definitely want to take it into their own hands.
Although there are also strong lords in the other dwarves, elves and other tribes, their overall strength is too far from that of the human and beast tribes. In addition, they are in Xida 6, so they may not be able to compete.
"Although these mineral deposits are of amazing value, the lord-level forces of the two tribes should not take action. According to convention, in order to fight for ownership, there is only one battle." Yale said, looking at the huge iceberg towering like clouds in the east.
Bar and the others nodded as well.
The large mineral veins that have been discovered have always been the focus of competition between the two tribes. In addition to the mineral veins located in their respective hinterlands, which appear on the borders or disputed areas of the two tribes, they are ultimately determined through war, and the victorious side will naturally have the dominance.
Unlike the past situation, there are many ore veins that have been discovered this time, but the winning side will inevitably obtain ownership of more ore veins.
......
As expected by the three of them, the Legion's order was issued only two days later.
Turn on the Lord's Token.
"The First Corps, this is the most elite corps in the Second Corps. I guess he also likes my legion-level ability." Barr looked at the information above and, according to his order, he will go to the First Corps this time to serve as a staff member and follow the First Corps together.
"Aid?" Barr shook his head. I'm afraid that apart from his state and ability, no one will listen to his aide's suggestions.
Had breakfast.
Before he could go out, a knock on the door rang out.
Squeak.
When he opened the door, there was a tall lion man wearing noble clothes outside. Behind him were six imperial guards wearing gorgeous armor, and next to him was a chubby lion man, Baron Nab.
"Who are you?" Barr asked at the old man in the lion.
"Lord Barr, this is Earl of Haggins." Nab stepped forward and introduced.
"Earl Haggins, I wonder if you come to me, what's wrong?" Barr said in confusion. Seeing the guard behind Haggins, he should be representing the royal family. I think there is something important.
"I also want to congratulate the Lord, who killed dozens of enemy officers on the battlefield and made great contributions. Your Majesty specially ordered you to be awarded the title of Earl of the Empire." Huggins smiled. The person in front of him was so young that he was awarded the title of Earl of the Earl in the future.
"Earl?"
"Please come in."
Everyone walked into the house and chatted for a while. Huggins took out the Earl's Badge and handed it to him, and then took the people to say goodbye and leave. From then on, he officially became the Earl of the Empire.
......
On the street leading to the west of the city.
"Strange, I only received 300,000 military merits. Your Majesty actually granted me the title of Earl." Barr was also a little stunned when he looked at the badge in his hand. You know, if an ordinary soldier wants to obtain the title of Baron, he needs up to 500,000 military merits, let alone the count.
Thinking about it all over the place.
There are only two reasons. One is that the empire is interested in his potential and intends to win over it, the other is that it is afraid that it is his identity.
Not long.
He rushed to the gate of the Second Legion, showed the lord's token, and walked in.
Now the eyes of the human and beast tribes are gathered on the sudden appearance of icebergs and the surrounding mineral veins, and the battle situation has temporarily slowed down. The Saudi Legion that besieged Mantle City has retreated a few days ago. Shortly after the iceberg appeared, Saudi seized the opportunity and quickly attacked and captured the nearby town of Lenza in one fell swoop.
.
Bar just entered the station.
A young lion man wearing exquisite armor and carrying a spear came towards him. He looked in his thirties, with a tough face and a heroic spirit.
There are two more people behind him.
On the left is a beautiful lion woman, and next to it is an ice giant carrying a giant hammer on her shoulder and a height of more than ten meters. Judging from the emblems they wore, they should be all ten thousand men of the First Corps.
"The Lord is here, but I have been waiting here for a long time." The young lion man smiled.
"Captain of the Dorn Corps." Barr also walked to the young man with a smile.
Two days ago, Dorn visited him. As the commander of the First Corps, Dorn himself is a high-level leader, and like him, he is also a blood-awakener, and is extremely powerful.
The two chatted for a few simple words and walked side by side into the garrison.
"This is the Taurus Lord, he looks a bit powerful."
"This tauren is not only amazingly talented, but also masters at least two or more legion-level state abilities. No wonder the corps commander attaches great importance to him." The lion woman and the ice giant whispered and followed.
Legion-level abilities are too rare. Even if this tauren is of ordinary strength, the Imperial military will try its best to win over it.
......
Early in the morning, south of Mantler City.
In the Second Legion, eight corpses have been assembled, and two corps remain in the city.
Not far away, eight black cities lined up, which were the giant magic puppets - Wandering City. In order to compete for the crystal veins, the Empire also did its best this time. In addition to the three original legions on the border, three corps were urgently recruited from Xida6, and together with the fleet of the Goblin Alliance, they were already on the way.
The reinforcements of the other three countries of mankind, a total of four legions, have also been assembled.
Two of the legions belonged to the Ghana Barbarian Kingdom, and the other two countries, Bania and Dolan, were only sent out one legion because they were constrained by the Imperial Navy Fleet and the Taurus Legion respectively.
Kakka...
The soldiers lined up and entered the wandering city. As a staff member, Barr naturally had to follow the action of the First Corps. Coincidentally, Yale was also in the First Corps, but Rouhani was sent to the Fourth Corps.
Rumble...
Eight wandering cities started, the protective cover was opened, and they were lifted off, and they flew towards the iceberg.
The iceberg in the southeast is only one thousand kilometers away from Mantler City. With the degree of a wandering city, it has arrived soon. Huh~, eight wandering cities flew down and landed about twenty kilometers northwest of the iceberg.
Within a dozen kilometers of icebergs, they were surrounded by powerful barriers, and it was very dangerous to approach rashly.
Wow~~~
After the eight wandering cities landed, they quickly approached, and the metal walls on the edge turned into black square waste, quickly fusing to form a black city that was more than ten kilometers long.
Step on.
Barr climbed up to the wall and looked east.
More than a hundred kilometers east, in front of the town of Renza, there is also a dozen metal city composed of magical machinery. Looking at the flying flag above, it should be the Third Legion of the Saudis.
His void floats had already dispersed and spread around him, but he did not get close to the icebergs and those human settlements. He had sent several void floats to try to explore this strange iceberg, but as soon as several void floats entered it, he lost contact with him.
There are now six legions of the Empire and Saudi Arabia around the iceberg.
In addition to the Second Legion and the Third Legion of Saudi Arabia in the north, two hundred kilometers south of the Ice Mountains, the Third and Fifteenth Legion of the Empire were stationed in the southwest of the Ice Mountains, and opposite were the Sixth and Fifteenth Legion of Saudi Arabia.
