Chapter 527: Mingxiu Plank Road (1)
Seeing the captains returning to the team with boxes, Cons spoke again: "Please remember that the things sent to you now will save your life at the most dangerous time, so you must carry them with you and not discard them after receiving them. They can only be used at the most dangerous time. At this time, there is no extra ration for this thing, so everyone must use it carefully!"
Cons said and waved his hand: "Each brigade is organized and disbanded, and the captain will send the things to everyone!"
The entire army quietly waited until Cons left before disbanding as a brigade. Then the entire barracks immediately started to coax. The soldiers surrounded the surroundings, and the squadron leader surrounded the brigade and asked about the things in the box.
When everyone received a silver bottle necklace, everyone was still stunned.
Although the captain said that those inner guards had used it very useful, the gap was not something that Bai Ji saw with his own eyes. Therefore, at least more than 90% of people were half-believing and half-doubting about the effectiveness of this thing.
But because Cons expressed the importance of this thing in person, everyone could only keep their doubts in their hearts. Only when they really need to use it will they know whether this thing is effective.
When Ralph was worried, he found that one of his squadron leaders showed a surprise expression. He was very careful and precious to hang the life-saving bottle on his neck as soon as possible, and then carefully patted his chest to feel the existence.
Ralph was worried about how to make the soldiers really notice the importance of the life-saving bottle. He just saw a soldier holding the life-saving bottle in his hand and playing with it. Now, seeing a squadron leader showing such a look, he couldn't help but immediately: "I said why are you so excited? Do you know the details of the life-saving bottle? Tell us all, so that these guys won't lose the life-saving bottle without knowing the importance of these guys!"
The squadron leader immediately said in a daze: "Hehe, captain, my heart is almost about to jump out now. I didn't expect that I would get a life-saving bottle one day!"
"I remember you were from the empire and I was a native of the southeastern region of Your Highness. Tell me what happened to this life-saving bottle!" A squadron leader who was close to him immediately shouted. At this time, the squadron leader, the squadron leader, and the squadron leader had already surrounded the place.
"Hey, I was the reserve officer of the Southeast Governor's Office. When His Highness was the Southeast Governor's Office, the benefits were good at that time. This life-saving bottle was almost all regular soldiers, and they could also exchange military merits for exchange. When they were sold, they would immediately be tens of thousands of gold coins.
"It's a pity that your highness disappeared later, and the life-saving bottle stopped exchanging merits, and later it stopped distributing. After the thief Okor appeared, the life-saving bottle disappeared completely. At that time, he thought that such a treasure would disappear completely, but he didn't expect it to appear again now!" The squadron leader said with great emotion.
"The effect of this thing is really as powerful as the captain said?" Everyone could not help but believe it when they saw this personal proof of the acquaintances around them.
"Hehe, it's even more powerful. I've seen an officer whose arm was cut off. He had more than a hundred knife marks on his body, but he still cut hundreds of enemy soldiers. Afterwards, he had no problem except his arm breaks. But you have to pay attention that this thing must be used at a critical moment of life and death, otherwise it would be wasted. No one knows when the next time he will distribute this life-saving bottle like this." The squadron leader reminded.
Due to the proof of acquaintances around you, the doubts in everyone's hearts dissipated a lot, and most of them began to pay attention to this small necklace. However, after using it once, this kind of thing will definitely be regarded as a treasure by the soldiers. However, at that time, it is impossible to distribute it for free.
In the main camp of the military camp, Cons rushed into the grassland after solving the plague belt. He only came back now and had a conversation with A Zero. If A Zero had not returned, Cons would not have sent the life-saving bottle, because this means that the war is about to start.
"The Lord, under the guidance of the hidden secret guards in the early stage, he finally found the secret teachings' workplace, and also knew where the secret teachings' nest was."
A Zero performed many major tasks alone, and listened to reports and issued orders a lot during this period. Therefore, compared with the past, he is much more flexible and no longer knows how to obey orders as before.
“Where is it?”
As soon as Cons asked, Xiang Wen immediately spread out the grassland map. After Jialing searched on the map, he said with a point: "It's here."
Cons raised his eyebrows: "St. Lar Snow Mountain?!"
The Snow on the Saint Lar Snow can be said to be the largest, widest and highest snow mountain in the world. There are mountains of the Saint Lar Snow Mountain in the prairie, snow country and the territory on the Hilda continent, but the main mountain range of the Saint Lar Snow Mountain is still in the Snow Country.
"The factory is built in the plain area near Erla Lake at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and the esoteric religion's nest is in a giant cave at the foot of the snow-capped mountain. The esoteric religion's nest and factory are not covered at all. They are placed there openly. As soon as you enter that area, you can see it. I don't know why no one has discovered it for so many years." Jia Ling said in a slight breath.
Cons shook his head and smiled, "The Shrine of the Shrine is the holy mountain of the grassland people, and Lake Naerla is the mother lake of the grassland people. It is said that the birthplace of the grassland people is there. With the establishment of the primitive religion of the grassland people, that place has become a holy place. According to the rules, it is very honorable that ordinary grassland people have the opportunity to worship once in their lifetime. Such a place cannot be entered at all.
"Like other secret guards, although they can also be invisible, they cannot hide for a long time without eating or drinking. When outsiders appear in that place, they will cause big trouble, so there is no way for others except you to find the information about this holy land."
Jia Ling, who received the praise from Cons, immediately smiled proudly. Xiang Wen, who couldn't see the eyes, immediately asked: "How is the troops arranged in this place?"
"There is no force, and there is not even a patrol guard. The factory is full of craftsmen, and the people around are all female friends of craftsmen. They are just focused on animal husbandry and farming, and do not enter the factory." Jialing said.
"How is the production of the factory? How many craftsmen are there? If you only make a production, it should not be possible to have such a large production." Cons asked.
"The factory is very huge. More than 10,000 craftsmen seem very rare in the factory. The master will definitely be surprised if he sees it. What is strange is that these craftsmen do not use iron hammers. They just fiddled with some huge metal tools. The exact same weapons will be made one by one. There is also a huge stove in the factory. When the subordinates saw the craftsmen pouring minerals into the holes on the stove, the iron water will flow out, and then cut the iron plates into thin strips with sharp big knifes, and then there are iron spears and iron arrows.
"Well, those equipment are very strange and huge anyway. But these equipment can easily make weapons, like the blade of a machete, with an automatic rotating stone grinding that can sharpen the sharp blade in just a few strokes." Jia Zero said while recalling.
When Cons and Xiangwen heard this, they couldn't help but stare blankly. If they hadn't known that A Zero wouldn't lie, they would have thought that A Zero was talking nonsense.
What kind of ore appears when it is poured into the stove, what kind of metal strips quickly turn into weapons, what are these? Based on my own imagination, some strange-shaped things can't help but emerge in my mind.
After hearing what Jia Ling said, both of them felt confused, so they decided not to listen to Jia Ling's nonsense. Anyway, they could see the tools with their own eyes, so Cons changed the topic and said: What is the old nest of the Secretariat?"
"In a huge cave, the gate of the cave is more than ten meters high and has a width of dozens of meters. The border of the gate is made of iron, but strangely, there is no huge door panel at all, and it just reveals the doorway so empty.
"Inside is a space that is hundreds of meters high and nearly a thousand meters wide. The secret sects built towering stairs and dug countless caves on the side. Because the caves are all over the entire space, the subordinates only investigated a small part and found that they were all small caves that could only live in one person." When they said this, Jia Ling shut up.
"Well? No other discoveries were found except these small caves that were inhabited?" Cons was a little confused. The Secretariat created such a giant cave that could not be made by humans, which was just for residence? Did they just stay in such small caves for research?
But if there are secret places that A Zero cannot find, Cons really doesn't believe it.
Jia Ling shook his head: "No other discovery, but the open space in the center of the cave is a bit strange. It is actually made of a complete piece of steel plate. The lower class also thought there was a secret hidden below, but after hiding for so many days, I didn't see any movement on the floor, so I gave up."
Jialing's words made Kang Sixiangwen's face feel heavy, because according to what Jialing said, the esoteric trunk seems to be a little bit weird, and other research institutions and even places to collect materials do not exist. Could it be that the trunk has become an empty shell because the five major sects have established their own bases outside?
It’s unlikely. If the nest is an empty shell, why would all the grassland people become crazy?
Alas, it seems that these strange things can only be determined when standing in the esoteric lair. Now I still think about how to attack the esoteric lair.
Jialing also knew Cons’ intentions, so when Cons turned to the map, he drew a curved line on the map; "The master, when he came back, he looked for the route of troops as you told him. The subordinates were not very familiar with the grassland, so they directly found a river channel to the downstream on Erla Lake, followed the river channel, and chose this side at the forks of these places. Except for the river channels covered by trees, there was no obstacle in other places."
Jia Ling said while pointing fingers on the map.
"This river can reach Erla Lake?" Cons was overjoyed and lay on the map. If it could be transported by water, his troops could not only launch a sudden attack, but also avoid the hard work of rushing thousands of miles. At the same time, the pressure on logistics supplies was immediately reduced by dozens of times.
Everyone knows that using a ship to transport supplies not only has a large load capacity, but also has less loss, because if you go by land, the loss of the logistics team eating horses alone is enough to supply the entire army several times.
There is no need to be surprised that the number is so huge, because it is a journey from here to Lar Lake. The war horses will have to run for at least a month. When they get there, they will be tired of people like themselves, and they will be able to bury them there by just a group of demons.
"How wide is the narrowest river along the way? How many places are there below ten meters wide?" Cons asked directly without looking at the nodded Jia Zero.
"The narrowest route is in this place, which is only three meters wide and has curves of about a hundred meters long, with a very fast flow rate. Here, the width here is only about five or six meters, and the length is about two or three hundred meters. Except for these places, the others are definitely more than ten meters." Jia Zero said instructing several places on the map.
"Is the rivers in these places lined with rock or soil?" Cons asked again.
"In the narrowest place, I was washed ashore by the rapids. There were rocks on both sides, but the kind of red rock that was a little loose, and the other two were mud." Jialing recalled.
Cons clicked these three locations on the map and murmured to himself: "The narrowest place is about 500 kilometers away from our straight line. If the carriage is driving, it should be accessible in ten days, while those two places are about a thousand miles away, at least one month."
Cons suddenly raised his head and said, "Xiang Wen, we will draw 30,000 people from the camp stationed outside the city, and then go to the market to buy some tools for digging mountains and rocks to equip the 30,000 people, and prepare enough food and grass for three months and can load their carriages. If the supplies are not enough, we can purchase them from merchants in the name of the alliance. Finally, we will draw 300 secret guards and inner guards to follow the army."
