#337 - Section 337

The passage was located in a deep forest, but the trees here were incredibly tall, and Allen didn't recognize any of the plants.

However, perhaps due to the methods of those Primordial beings, many trees near the passage had been cut down.

“Roar—, Roar—”

Allen heard the angry roar of the Golden Behemoth, which seemed to be coming from below him. He quickly looked down, only to find himself somewhat amused and exasperated.

Below, for some unknown reason, a huge pit had appeared, with a lot of mud and sand inside.

Three Golden Behemoths were jumping around in the pit, trying to get out, but the pit was too big.

The pit was a hundred meters deep, and all their efforts were in vain, as they could only fall down again and again.

Allen was speechless. No wonder the three Golden Behemoths he had sent out had disappeared without a trace. He had thought they had been ambushed, but they were trapped here.

It wasn't their fault. After all, the Golden Behemoths couldn't fly and didn't have any extraordinary abilities, relying only on their physical strength.

The spells that were effective against dragons were only effective against living creatures.

When dealing with Primordial beings, they were naturally terrifying war machines, but now that they had fallen into a big pit, they had truly met their nemesis.

After all, the Golden Behemoths were already powerful. What if they could fly or had extraordinary abilities?

They could directly dominate the continent, leaving humans with nothing to do.

However, this situation was rare and hard to come by. After all, where could one find a pit several hundred meters deep?

Moreover, the Golden Behemoths weren't fools. They could have dug a hole or destroyed the pit, but they had chosen the most foolish method.

It wasn't until Allen sent Luca down that he discovered the reason.

This could be considered his own doing. He saw a lot of yellow sand in the pit, and some magic stones were shimmering on the walls.

The entire pit appeared exceptionally hard, and there were some depressions at the bottom, indicating that they had tried to destroy the pit but had failed.

Seeing these magic stones and yellow sand, Allen realized that this should be the sand that had been transported away by those Primordial beings before.

As for why it had become like this, Allen wasn't too sure.

Perhaps those guys from the Primordial World had gathered them together, and with constant trampling, the different magics had reacted, resulting in this situation.

Seeing Allen, the three Golden Behemoths were very excited and kept shouting towards Allen.

Allen waved his hand and brought them to the top. This time, they finally calmed down.

Allen looked at the big pit and felt that he needed to deal with it.

After all, the passage was here. It was fine if the Golden Behemoths fell in, but if ordinary people did, they would die instantly.

Looking at such a big pit, filling it up would indeed be difficult. However, Allen had prepared a large number of magic arrays and magic materials inside, and he should be able to rely on them.

Allen carefully sensed the magic energy inside, muttering incantations, and a khaki light emerged from his fingertips.

This was a forbidden spell recorded in the books of the Addis Empire, which could change the appearance of a large piece of land.

Thinking of forbidden spells, Allen felt a headache.

For Saint-level mages, forbidden spells were generally their greatest means, but for Legendary mages, the power of forbidden spells was somewhat insufficient.

They needed to rely on their own strength to find a magic that best suited them.

This wasn't like the previous magic, which could be learned from books.

This magic of the Legendary realm could only be created by the Legendary mage himself.

Firstly, the number of Legendary mages was already small, and Legendary magic was even rarer.

Those mages regarded Legendary magic as more precious than their own lives and would almost never hand it over.

Secondly, this Legendary magic was created by each mage based on their own situation, creating the magic that best suited them.

Even if there was a chance to learn it, it would be impossible to exert its maximum power.

Allen had reached the two-star Legendary realm, but he still didn't have any clues and could only use some forbidden spells.

This was naturally not a problem when dealing with some Saint-level powerhouses, but if he encountered the Legendary realm, he might suffer a big loss.

However, Allen's cultivation speed was still short, and the creation of Legendary realm magic was measured in centuries.

In addition, Allen's strength was not weak now, so he was not particularly anxious.

Soon, the ground below twisted, and the big pit slowly became smaller and finally disappeared.

Allen looked around again, and only after seeing that there was no danger did he leave with peace of mind.

As soon as he went out, he saw Jackson rushing up the mountain anxiously, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Allen shook his head, "It's okay, let them in!"

Immediately, millions of troops began to march mightily towards the passage, disappearing into the passage.

The army did not all enter. Allen left behind more than a million troops. After all, it was still the early stages, and not too many people were needed.

When millions of troops gathered together, it would be a big trouble.

Seeing that the army had all entered, Allen let the remaining million troops be stationed here, and he plunged into the passage again.

At this moment, it was already extremely lively inside. With more than a million troops here, stationing, eating, and everything else was a big problem.

Fortunately, Cruz was experienced, and after a period of chaos, things began to become orderly.

However, there were also some beastmen troops in this expedition. They all carried huge packages, which seemed to weigh a lot.

When they put down the packages, small mountains appeared on the ground.

As the packages were opened, some iron blocks were revealed. The warriors immediately lost interest.

However, some workers pieced them together, forming a long iron track and some tools.

This was exactly the railway and workers that Allen had asked Oliver to prepare, as he knew how important a good transportation route was.

Therefore, these workers started their work first.

Some Swiftbird scouts also flew out to scout the surrounding environment and inform the workers.

Chapter 501: Battle Plan

Allen wasn't in a hurry either. After all, they were here to occupy the Source World and only needed to proceed steadily.

Allen took out the book that Harry had given him earlier. Thanks to their misjudgment of the strength of the Allen Kingdom, the information inside was extremely detailed, apparently for fear that the Allen Kingdom would not be able to support itself.

It also recorded some news about the Source World, showing that the Source World had only one continent, just like the outside world.

The Roman Empire was dominated by humanoid races, just like humans.

However, a large area in the center of the continent was covered by dense forest, which directly occupied half of the Roman Empire's territory.

And most of the humanoids in the Roman Empire lived near the coast, which meant that their route to occupy the Source World would be very long.

Moreover, they had to be careful of sneak attacks from time to time.

Allen and his men had arrived on the west side of the continent, and the soldiers were in training camps to prevent attacks from the Source Creatures.

The craftsmen had already begun to build the ground, planning to install the railway.

Allen had discussed it with them before, planning to build railways in two directions, dividing the army into two parts to attack separately, which would greatly speed up the progress.

Allen had initially planned to build two railways in one direction, so that he could be foolproof.

But after thinking about it, he gave up. After all, this was not a small project. The railway was planned to surround the entire continent, and doubling the amount of work was undoubtedly not a good idea.

After all, the materials needed for these railways were now made in the Allen Kingdom and then transported over with a lot of manpower, which cost a lot.

Of course, Allen had already notified Oliver that these technical personnel would specialize in researching the Source World, hoping to find similar iron ore, so that the cost could be greatly reduced.

At that time, it would be better to arrange some workers on each section of the railway, so that they could repair it at any time if there was a problem.

And those Source Creatures would definitely attack them, and the railway must be the top priority.

And the railway was so long that it was impossible to station people everywhere to guard it.

Allen had already made a decision with Cruise to build a small fortress every five hundred meters on the railway, garrisoning a hundred people. They had rifles and alchemical bombs.

A small defense project would be built every two thousand meters, garrisoning five hundred soldiers. They had machine guns, submachine guns, and small turrets.

A unit would be stationed every ten thousand meters, garrisoning five thousand soldiers. They had all the weapons of the Allen Kingdom, turrets, muskets, alchemical bombs, and so on.

If they encountered an attack, they could solve it themselves if they could, and report it if they couldn't.

These garrisons were near the railway, not only could they get material support at any time, but they could also protect the railway.

It can be said that the railway was an important part of conquering the Source World.

Although the Duke of Purgatory had failed, it did not mean that Allen would also fail.

Because it was night, they worked a little hard, and by the time they were done, it was already dawn.

It was supposed to be sleeping time, but now it was daytime.

Cruise had never encountered such a situation, but he directly gave them a day and a night off, so that they could adjust themselves.

In the big tent, Allen sat at the highest point, and everyone below looked at him.

"Next, what are your thoughts on that Norman Empire?" Although he said that, Allen's eyes were still on Cruise.

After all, Cruise was the only general under his command. In fact, it was true. Hearing Allen's words, others were either frowning or shrinking their bodies, not wanting Allen to notice.

Cruise thought for a while, "Your Majesty, I think it's better for us to go straight to the Yellow Dragon."

"You mean we directly lead the army to attack their capital?" Allen looked at Cruise with interest.

Cruise shook his head: "It is indeed attacking their capital, but not those soldiers, but us."

"Us?"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were attracted to Cruise. It was not impossible for them, these Saints, to directly attack the capital.

After all, the strong men of the Source World had already lost a lot in the previous battles, and they would definitely not be their opponents.

But these people, they could completely occupy the capital, but what about after that?

They, dozens of people, could not effectively control the capital at all. At that time, they could only get a batch of treasures, and finally they had to go back.

Moreover, in this way, they would be separated from the army. What if the enemies knew the news and went to attack the army?

The most critical point was that it had been several days since the war. As long as they were not stupid, they would definitely take defensive measures, or at least retreat.

"That's right, that's right." Cruise nodded, not paying attention to other people's eyes at all.

"We are on the west coast, and their capital is also here, not far from us."

Cruise seemed to see their worries, "We don't need to occupy the capital all the time, we only need to destroy it. As long as we are fast enough, we can complete it in just one day, and they won't have time to react at all."

"Destruction does not mean nothing."

"They must have already carried out the transfer, but we can cause them no small loss, and further deepen their fear of us."
