After hearing this word, Yin En, who was sorting out potions in the alchemy laboratory, stopped what he was doing.
He felt an absurd sense of joy - he had returned to Nanling with armor and was about to reduce the dimension to attack the mountain people. Why did the other party suddenly also have armor?
What? Can’t the combat power be upgraded in real time? It makes his trip to Nanling more difficult for no reason, right?
Fast forward to armor not as good as a dog, etheric weapons are everywhere.jpg
Not only that, the mountaineer spies also reported another bad news: there were a large number of driven beasts around the mountaineer troops, and there were even violent monsters.
This is not surprising to Yin En, considering the biotechnology of Feiyandi.
When he left Nanling, he encountered a psyker who could control wild beasts. This time when he returned to Nanling, he also found traces of a mind-controlling psyker in Nauman City who could even remotely control flesh and blood.
Monsters like shapeshifters.
This is obviously a special technology of Flying Flame Land. The Steel Winged Dragon group may also be controlled by this technology. It would be strange if the opponent does not use the beast as a precursor.
"What a bad news."
Shaking his head slightly, Yin En continued to prepare the 'Light Element Potion' and the 'Thunder Potion' to prepare ammunition for his troops.
He kept holding it and asked the spies calmly: "Is it the armor from Feiyandi or the armor from the mountain people? We have to figure it out."
"If it's the Flying Flame Land, then let's contact Colonel Mayowa immediately - this is not our job, just reporting it is a great achievement."
"If they are mountain people...although it must have been given to them by Feiyandi, it is not impossible to fight."
"Huh? Which side...should be the mountain people? I don't see any other forces..."
The mountain spy who reported the report was a little puzzled.
In his opinion, the enemy had all brought armors, or several armors, so they were naturally invincible and Naumann City's support must be called immediately.
But Scott, who came with the spy, understood what Yin En meant. He nodded and said: "I understand. I will immediately arrange manpower to investigate the mountain people's supply routes!"
"Um."
Yin En nodded with satisfaction - Scott, who has been following him since eight years ago, has gained the ability to stand alone after his experience as a guard in Harrison Port. And after working with him for so much time recently, he can also work with him.
Got his way.
Even he, a nearly master-level alchemist, has an alchemy workshop in the city under his control. If he wants to ensure that his armor and troops are supplied, he must do it himself. Once he is too far away from Laian City, he will
It's very possible that you'll be out of ammunition.
Not to mention the crystallization of elements required for the armored alchemy furnace. Such things are not available in Ancheng!
Mountain people?
What is the alchemy technology of the mountain people? Are they also equipped with armor?
Yin En can still get supplies of element crystals from Nauman City, aren't the mountain people just waiting for Fei Yan to give them to them?
If Feiyan had used armor himself, Yin En would have been afraid that the other party would launch a blitzkrieg to attack An City. In that case, even if he won, An City would still be half destroyed, and the reconstruction of his territory would be delayed.
But if they are mountain people... they are not that good.
Yin En knows very well that if you want to become proficient in armored driving skills, you need at least two thousand hours of practice. Even the adaptability of sublimated people is far beyond that of ordinary people. If you want to practice it to the point where you can fight proficiently within a month or two
, which is basically impossible.
Yin En is a special case, because the various large-scale engineering equipment he drove in his previous life were much more difficult to use than armor.
Therefore, as long as the mountain people's supply routes are cut off, it makes no difference whether there are five armored units or ten units.
"I'll go over and see for myself later." While Scott was preparing to explore the troops, Yin En finished refining the potion in his hand: "Now, go meet Qingchao and the mercenaries he brought - their arrival will have
It may still be unknown information to the mountain people.”
What Lai'an City lacks today is combat manpower that can be trusted and will not defect, equipped with magnetic storm armor and rechargeable rifles.
The arrival of Qingchao's group of people can just supplement a large number of effective combat forces.
But Yin En never thought that Qingchao's support this time would also bring an unexpected surprise.
——He brought Albert here!
There is an ancient and solemn statue in the front yard of Lai'an Castle. It is engraved with the appearance of Baisen Dragon God overlooking all living beings on the top of the mountain, which highlights the lineage and ancient beliefs of the lords here.
And now, right next to this statue, Yin En has an unexpected reunion.
"Qingchao? You..."
Yin En opened his eyes slightly. He looked at the blue-haired swordsman with a smile on his face and bowed to him, and then looked at the white-haired swordsman on the other side, who shyly bowed to him, disguising himself as a member of the White People.
The dead king's expression was not only filled with surprise, but also contained a subtle emotion: "How did you bring him here?"
——What's going on? How did Qingchao meet up with Adelbert?
"Boss, actually I don't know much either."
The blue-haired swordsman laughed, and he skillfully hooked his hand on Adelbert's shoulder, seeming to be very familiar with him: "Anyway, when passing by Indigo Mountain, some mountain people who were not rebellious
They found us and said that they are friends with you, boss, and this brother is an acquaintance who came to join you, boss."
"I originally wanted to contact you for confirmation, but the communication over there was blocked by Feiyandi. The only way to send messages was through flying birds. And he seems to be really familiar with you. The elf friend you mentioned, Anfa, also sent messages to
I promise this...I brought him here."
Adlbert looked at Yin En asking for help - obviously, the customs on the Whale Song Cliff side were too enthusiastic for the people in the western border of the empire, and he was not used to Qing Chao's familiar character.
But this is not familiarity, but surveillance.
Although Qingchao has a rough appearance on the surface, he is actually very thoughtful. He still has some doubts about Adelbert's identity, so he has been keeping a close eye on him. Unexpectedly, Adelbert at this level thought it was a local custom and has been keeping tabs on him.
No one dared to refuse.
But it didn’t go very far.
Yin En glanced at the blue-haired swordsman, who was holding the shoulders of the dead king with the third level of combat power and looking like a good brother, and couldn't help but sigh: "You did a good job - I would rather say you did a good job.
But don’t do it next time.”
"You didn't see..."
At this point, Yin En paused, and Adalbert hurriedly broke away from Qingchao's hand, coughed, and said softly: "You can call me 'Old Shadow'."
"Yes, Old Shadow." Yin En knew that this was the code name that Adebert gave to himself. He had to hide his identity, but in his mind were the dead souls of the Avak Territory, so he named it after him.
Yin En accused him righteously: "Qingchao, don't you feel uncomfortable seeing the old shadow? Stay away from him, he is afraid of the heat."
"Okay, okay."
Now that Guying's safety has been confirmed, Qingchao smiled and let go of his hand, letting the other person live.
Adebert looked liberated.
Everyone returned to the castle.
And Yin En also found an opportunity to ask about Adelbert's recent movements.
After Adbot followed Pansha to Nanling, he stayed in the area of the Dragon Worship Cult. Here, the Dragon Worship Cult disguised his identity as a white man from a mountain village. It happened that the white hair of the dead king looked like him.
.
During the recent period, he mainly rested his mind and adjusted his mood. After all, the Awak collar incident was a world-class event that was once in a lifetime for most people. It was difficult to get out of the psychological shadow, and that was Yin En's case.
Only those who are used to seeing big scenes can easily get rid of the influence.
Who would have known that one wave would come after another, and just when Adebert was about to calm down, the Nanling mountain people rebelled.
Feiyandi united with the Steel Winged Dragons to directly destroy all communication nodes in the area under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Worship Cult, and used the talent derived from the Steel Winged Dragon's unique 'magnetic field flight' to interfere with all communications around the Dragon Worship Cult.
channel.
Even flying pigeons need to wander for a long time before they reach the correct destination due to changes in the magnetic field.
Adlbert did not reveal the power of his deceased king. In the eyes of others, he was just an ordinary water-type and ice-type sublimator. Moreover, the other party was Yin En's guest. Of course, this was impossible for an old fox like Elder Manya.
Let him get injured in his own hands - so when he knew that Qingchao was leading his team to Laian to help Yin En fight against the rebel mountain people, he asked him to take Adlbert with him.
"I asked why I couldn't contact the Dragon Cult - they were blocked by all-channel communications."
Yin En was stunned.
As for Adlbert himself, the Dead King researcher said a little cautiously: "In recent times, I have been taken care of by Yin En and your friends..."
"You are currently at war, but I don't know what I can do. I cannot expose the power of the dead king. I am just an ordinary first-level ascendant with no fighting ability."
Obviously, Adalbert's sense of morality was still too strong. When he saw Yin En and the others busy, he felt a little embarrassed and wanted to help.
"You don't need to do anything else."
Yin En waved his hand and said decisively: "Just help me manage the alchemy laboratory here - I have to deal with government affairs recently, manage the progress of experiments, and practice and study. Don't have too many things."
"You don't have to do anything. You can help me keep an eye on the progress of the experiments... If you have any ideas, just let me know. I welcome academic discussions."
"OK!"
Albert became happy when he heard that he could help.
But the one who is more happy is undoubtedly Yin En - you know, Adlbert is the world's top technical talent, a genius researcher that Archduke Thorin regards as his heir.
Originally, Yin En was still thinking about how to get Albert to work for him - with such a powerful person taking care of the laboratory, many of his technologies could be realized earlier...
But he didn't expect that before he opened his mouth, Adelbert would come to the door.
And it was as if Yin En had helped him a lot.
Yin Enshuang was a little embarrassed to win.
To welcome old friends back together, everyone had lunch in the castle.
Most of the food specialties in Anseong are desserts. During the food disaster, Yin En set an example and never ate anything too delicate.
But the chef in the castle could see that these guests were all old acquaintances of the lord, so he showed his strength and specially prepared a pot of flower-brewed sweet wine soup for them.
This is a soup made from some non-magic grade Xiahui grass as the main ingredient, a sweet wine brewed from fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus flowers, stewed rice cakes, nuts and some berries.
When simmering, you can smell the overflowing aroma in the restaurant, and when you eat it, everyone including Yin En is full of praise - the texture of the soup basically melts in your mouth, and the sweetness and fragrance are just right.
, it won't make people feel tired, but it will make people want to have another spoonful.
The nuts in the soup have been completely softened and crispy. When paired with the hard bread and roasted venison as the staple food, it was enough to satisfy everyone present.
Yin En himself thinks it's quite good. Although he likes to eat strong, salty and spicy food, this elegant and sweet soup is also suitable for adjusting his taste.
"It feels a bit dull, but the floral fragrance is very fresh and really smells good."
Qingchao's reviews are also very good, but the taste of Jinggeya is extremely sweet - the people there are basically sweet-loving people, even the barbecue is sweet, and the fried fish has to be sprinkled with a layer of sweetness.
Sauce.
"It smells like... my mother."
Adalbert seemed to be reminded of his home in the West, and the taste of Laianling was somewhat similar to that of the West.
As for Scott…
He just put down his seventh bowl.
——This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes eats the most!
After lunch, Yin En took Scott and Qingchao to organize the current troops coming to Ancheng and the external mercenaries.
The mercenaries from Port Harrison have a full team, that is, fifty people, some of whom are Yin En's acquaintances and were Red Blade Lubeck's men back then.
This also proves that the reinforcements sent by Viscount Grant are all elites, and they are considered a big investment.
Silently thanking the Viscount in his heart, Yin En made a general calculation and found that he now has about 110 people who can serve as the core combat force.
Eighty of them were noble private soldiers disguised as mercenaries, respectively from Port Harrison and Nauman City.
They are all professional military personnel who are trustworthy, will not defect in battle, and are willing and accustomed to obeying orders.
The number of militiamen raised in the past week did not exceed 200. The number of people willing to join the army during the war for more food and money is still not large, even to protect their hometown.
Yin En can use more capital to fight for it, but he doesn't think that the people who come to Ancheng now are worthy of him.
Before Yin En successfully defeats the mountain people, the people here will not regard him as a "lord who can rule for a long time."
Although they won't say this on the surface, their hearts will make them do it subconsciously.
But this actually proves the reliability of the more than 100 people who are willing to join the militia today - whether they are speculative or simply want to make a living, those who choose to support Yin En's rule in times of crisis will be defeated after the war.
Get preferential treatment.
But in the final analysis, such a force would be a little nervous to defend the city.
So in order to decide on the next tactical action, Yin En decided to lead a team to the area where the spies reported and conduct another reconnaissance.
