After all, someone's bold words did not come true. It's not that he couldn't do it, but that another old man had more important things to do. Go make tea or something next to the Gate of the Abyss, don't be in a hurry.
Almost in the afternoon after the conversation ended, the headquarters in Risa Territory began to prepare for the commander's temporary departure. In addition to the power of protection, many things had to be prepared in advance.
But the entire preparation work cannot come to a standstill just because of one person's absence. There must be preparation or pre-arrangement of the work content for the next few days.
The old man left because he wanted to return to the imperial city to discuss matters with his old friend, the man sitting on the throne. The news he got from the magician's mouth was not safe and not real-time through other channels. He could only get it in person.
Just take a trip.
And because the Gwana Empire is still in the preparation stage, the work or preparations for building a defense line are not the business of a certain magician. After talking with the old Grand Duke, he left.
Lin did not return directly to the holy city of Estali, but took a trip to the Wind Emperor Mountain Range.
Originally I wanted to find that kid Ezio. But since he returned the ring, Lin has lost the ability to scare people at any time. If he asks through Kaya, as long as the other party is not at a critical moment of life and death, he can probably get it.
answered.
But since this kind of thing couldn't be done immediately, and the thing itself wasn't very important, Lin simply gave up and started climbing a mountain instead.
The Fengdi Mountain Range had only existed in someone's knowledge before, but he had never walked through it personally. Lin was still interested in the curse on the mountain.
At least this kind of large-scale terrain level curse, Lin has never seen it before, and he doesn't know how it works. Or maybe it's just a climatic phenomenon, and the result is that it is misunderstood and treated as a curse. No matter what the reason is, there is a solution.
A trip is necessary.
Why we need to take this trip starts from a certain war in someone's mind: during the Roman Republic in Europe, the gladiator Spartacus crossed the Alps and attacked Rome.
It is true that the high mountains and the severe cold climate are a difficulty, but it is not an insurmountable difficulty. Old Kaweigong's first-line defense layout is completely designed around several passes in the Fengdi Mountains.
If the combined forces of demons and orcs relied on their physical strength and lack of fear of sacrifice to force their way over the mountains, they could attack the human camp from the weak point behind the defense line. It would be another disastrous defeat that caught people off guard.
Considering that the current goal is to unite the human camp, and the leading defender is an old acquaintance, it is difficult to continue to ignore it. So Lin decided to take a walk and take a look at the parts that he had doubts about.
As long as there is nothing wrong, forget it. If there is a problem, you must at least give a warning first. As for stepping in to turn the tide or something, although it is not impossible, but after doing it for a long time, it becomes your own responsibility. This kind of superhero-like shit,
Someone just doesn't want to be hugged.
If there really was a Superman in the world, then the police and firefighters would be out of work. If someone really thoughtlessly abolished the police and firefighters, and Superman suddenly disappeared, then the world would be in chaos. Even if the staff can barely be maintained, with Superman taking care of everything,
How should the police or firefighters deal with themselves? Will the people continue to commit suicide?
Therefore, superheroes are the biggest scourge that destroys the order of the world. Apart from satisfying their own vanity, they do no good to the overall society at all.
Therefore, in order to promote social progress and improve people's consciousness and quality, instead of leaving problems to Superman to solve without any brains. Someone will never stand in that thankless position. This is definitely not due to laziness!
However, after using the flash technique and personally traveling to the Fengdi Mountains, Lin realized that his previous thoughts were too self-righteous.
Let’s not talk about how an army can cross the mountains in this winter time with the wind and snow. Just talk about the eight rioting powers that permeate the air. Normal magicians can cast spells in this environment. It’s not
Losing control means backlash, which can be said to be the worst environment.
Conclusion: The Fengdi Mountain Range is a cursed terrain. After seeing this rumor on site, Lin really felt that it was somewhat credible. At least the climate he experienced did not seem to be formed naturally.
And because of the power riot, it is difficult for someone to maintain the levitation technique and float in mid-air. Even the environmental adaptation type magic used for protection was melted and disintegrated in the wind and snow.
Normally, this kind of environmental adaptation magic can be maintained in the vacuum environment of the earth elemental plane for several hours. On the Wind Emperor Mountain Range, it may take less than half an hour at most, and you have to rely on your own physical strength to hold on.
In such an environment, is it possible for the alliance of demons and orcs to overwhelm them?
Someone thinks carefully and still feels that it is not impossible.
Even if I don’t take the lawful evil, fully armed demon army I saw as an example, let’s just say that the strong orc branch of the orcs seems to be a team that can overcome this violent weather with physical fitness.
What's more, this is not to station the troops in such a cold place, they just need to pass through it quickly. Then, compared with the weather, whether there is a path that can pass through is the most important thing.
Even if we don't talk about the war cases in Europe, there is also an example in our own history during the end of the Three Kingdoms period, when Deng Ai took the Yinping Trail to attack Fucheng, which accelerated the demise of the Shu Han Dynasty. Natural dangers are difficulties, but they are not a foolproof guarantee.
The Maginot Line of Defense in World War II was also bypassed. Therefore, stubbornly believing that the enemy must act according to one's own ideas is quite dangerous in itself.
Let’s talk about the Fengdi Mountains. In fact, the average height of the mountains is not high. According to the standards of someone’s hometown, it is nearly three thousand meters. Several main peaks are above three thousand meters. The slope is not very steep, and most terrains can be passed on foot.
, so as not to use rock climbing skills.
It can be said that if we were to have such a mountain range in our hometown, instead of setting up a forest farm and planting fruit trees on the mountainside, we could open a large terraced field. There is water flowing down from the mountain, so we don’t have to think of ways to divert water from the foot of the mountain. We can build some ditches on this mountain.
The farm work is all done.
But if there is a curse, there is no way to find some god-level farmers. Just the wind and snow on the Fengdi Mountains will start to show signs at an altitude of almost one thousand meters. When it reaches an altitude of about two thousand meters, the wind and snow will arrive.
This is the maximum intensity. Going higher, the situation is almost the same.
However, at such an altitude, even if the Fengdi Mountain Range is far north, the level of wind and snow is still quite abnormal. And I heard that it is still like this all year round regardless of the season. Even if there is no supernatural force involved, I don't believe it.
Fortunately, the use of the Flash Technique is instantaneous and is mainly operated by self-produced and self-produced subdimensional towers, so it is not affected by such a terrain curse. Lin used the convenience of the Flash Technique to take a rough look at the Fengdi Mountains from a high altitude.
The terrain was good, and several gentle slopes that were conducive to marching were identified.
However, after reading it, I realized that I had really underestimated the outstanding people in the world. In the Fengdi Mountains, where there is an opportunity to directly climb over, the old Grand Duke has deployed beacon posts. As soon as the enemy is seen, the defenders stationed here will
We will notify you as soon as possible.
The defense system of the entire defense line does not completely ignore the arrangement of these terrains. Although defensive positions are not directly deployed, neighboring defenders can quickly support them within one day.
It can be said that people who are better at fighting have already considered the part of my concerns, but the focus is still on those passes. After understanding these, I no longer care about this line of defense.
Lin flashed again and came to the north of the mountain, the devil's fallen area.
On this land, the human army is still holding on with difficulty, guarding the retreat of ordinary people. Although many people have withdrawn to the other side of the mountain, there are still many people who are too late to evacuate, or who are unable to move.
.The disposal of these people is the most troublesome.
It's not right to abandon them, and it's not right to keep the army in order to protect them. There are even several places where the army was deeply surrounded and had no time to retreat, all because it was to protect people like this and missed the opportunity.
Once trapped in the siege network of the demon alliance, these people will be given up by default. Because humans at this stage do not have the strength to break into the enemy's lines and rescue people.
The demon coalition will not immediately attack these small groups of armies and people who have been separated and isolated. Instead, they will keep them in captivity, just like raising cattle and horses on a farm. The difference is that the cattle and horses here will fight among themselves.
, will eat each other.
Maybe this is not 'eating' in the literal sense. But if you are surrounded and lose backup supplies, then when food is limited, even if the scene of people cannibalizing has not happened yet, examples of people dying for food are happening every day.
.
Amidst all this ugliness, the only thing that makes some people happy is that no children from elementary schools are trapped in this siege.
Maybe they have learned their own essence, whether they can fight or run away, they can't lose. As long as the soles of their feet are oiled, even if they can't escape first, they can't stay behind.
Not seeing Ezio and others being stupid and falling into the devil's circle, Lin left the trapped area again and headed towards the occupied area. This time he did not fixate on the Gate of the Abyss, but looked around.
The old man mentioned before that he hoped to find out what was going on inside the demon-occupied area. Whether those words were mentioned deliberately or just casually. Since he said it, someone was thinking about something that was somewhat different.
So I took this trip.
But I don’t know if I didn’t take this trip, and I would be shocked if I left. Everything seems to be going wrong today, and many things are not as expected.
Just like the curse of the Wind Emperor Mountains, I thought it was just a manifestation of natural climate, but I didn't expect that there was really a supernatural power in it.
Then on this trip, I thought I was just walking around and taking a look, but I didn't expect to see something not so good.
If you want to run an occupied area well, of course you need to start various infrastructure construction and transform the place into a form that suits you. So what is a step beyond this approach?
That is to move the "home" directly. This does not mean buying some furniture, changing a place to live, or anything like that. It means moving the entire main body of the "home" here boldly!
If this method is applied to the devil, it is to design teleportation magic circles with strange purposes everywhere. And these magic circles are not a whole that is used alone, but a small part that is separated.
If you just look at one or two, you may not be able to tell the whole story. But someone used the flash technique to find the first few, and quickly calculated the positions of the remaining magic circles, and confirmed them one by one.
The function of this teleportation magic circle, based on the effects produced by the spell model, is that the demons intend to directly teleport a city-level plot of land to the Lost Land!
