Chapter 77: The Influence of Sacrifice and the Warning of Going South
Kingdom of Ilia
Competing with each other, the power of famine was blocked from the light screen, unable to take a step closer to the east, and instead continued to spread to the west.
Vast areas of land were infested by the forces of famine, with trees dying and rivers drying up.
The closer to Monni Province, the greater the impact, and gradually decreases towards the west.
Under the gold, it was impossible to feel or see the spread of famine power. Apart from feeling a gust of wind blowing and the surrounding area becoming more desolate, I did not feel anything strange.
In the icy area of the Lake of Praying Stars, Anastasia woke up from her meditation, came to the highest point of the ice castle, and looked at the black mist that was spreading in the distance.
"The power of evil has weakened a lot."
"This should be the sacrifice to the evil god that Weilin mentioned last time. It really happened."
"However, it is far away from here. It should be possible to protect the entire Lake of Praying Stars with all our strength."
Later, Anastasia went to the bottom of the ice castle and used the magic energy of the elemental pool to resist this tiny storm of evil god's power.
The extremely thin power of famine touched the barrier that Anastasia tried her best to spread out, collided with each other, and turned into nothingness, protecting thousands of square kilometers of land in the Lake of Praying Stars.
Along the provincial boundaries, in contrast to each other, the role of famine sacrifices gradually emerged.
At dawn, in the Moni Province, the legendary knight looked at the deserted city of Falkreath. In just one night, 200,000 people were sacrificed inexplicably.
The legendary priest St. Albo Tasman fell to the ground and said a silent eulogy.
A legendary mage activates a time-traveling spell, and scenes from the past ten years in Monni Province constantly appear in his mind to obtain information.
"Bernie, how's it going?"
Facing the legendary knight's inquiry, the legendary mage Bernier opened his eyes and replied: "This plan has lasted for more than ten years. Who is the mastermind? He has the protection of the evil god and cannot be obtained, but he can find out other urban famine cults." stronghold."
"It's not difficult to guess." The legendary priest Saint Albo Tasman ended his prayer and turned to several other people and said, "It was hidden for more than ten years without being exposed until the border conflict broke out and the army and main combat forces were mobilized. Walk."
"This group of damn bastards seems to have to launch a military operation in advance to reduce their strength and numbers before launching a war against the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom."
"There is no rush. The war against the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom will last at least ten years. We have enough time to prepare and train our troops. There are too many troops who have not participated in a war for a long time."
"Bernie's proposal is very good, but if these reckless people dare to attack the western defense line, then don't go back." A legendary warrior gritted his teeth and then headed for the border.
Before the legendary warrior could fly far away, he was pulled back by Albo and reprimanded with a straight face: "If you end rashly, a series of things will happen."
"Archbishop, I..."
"Doniel, follow the instructions of the Archbishop. We cannot move the opponent's legend until he is finished. This matter should be left to the army. Our role is to deter. In addition..., you should also know"
"Hmph, I understand." What the legendary mage Bernie said made sense, and he could only obey.
……
At the border of Cadro Province, after some training, Verin finally had these 6,000 people firmly in his hands.
During the march to Lumen Nanshan, a hundred kilometers south of Lumen Mountain, the army was in good order, and there was no inactivity or disobedience of orders.
Standing on the hill of Lumen Nanshan, you have a commanding view of the surroundings.
Except for the two thousand-man teams responsible for guarding the south, the remaining four thousand people were responsible for digging soil, carrying stones, and building temporary fortresses on the hills.
"Lord Weilin, the commander's military order." A knight quickly walked towards the camp on the hill and handed a military order to Weilin's hand.
Verin first checked whether the letter was complete, and after seeing that it had not been opened, he opened the letter and read it.
"The kingdom has issued a notice that the eight western provinces will usher in an unprecedented drought that will last for more than two years. It will take some time for the news to reach here. You can prepare early. Do you need my help?"
"Go back and tell the commander that Weilin already knows. I hope she doesn't worry. I have my own way to deal with it."
"Yes, my lord."
The knight took the password, turned around and left, returning to Lumen Mountain to resume his life.
After the messenger knight left, Weilin had no intention of planning the camp deployment. He came to a place on the hill with a good place to collect scenery, sat cross-legged on the ground, and thought about the subsequent plan.
"The Famine Sacrifice broke out, affecting eight provinces and nearly four million square kilometers."
"However, fortunately enough food and water were stored in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
In his subjective consciousness, Weilin thought that the Lake of Praying Stars must be within the scope of the disaster, but it backfired.
"This time, plan carefully and strive to attract a certain number of civilians to settle in the Lake of Star Prayer to achieve the goal of increasing the population without spending money."
It can be said that except for the original fifteen people in the Lake of Praying Stars, the rest of the population was obtained through money, war and material transactions.
Afterwards, after Weilin completed the general idea, he returned to the camp to continue the deployment of Lumen Nanshan.
In the afternoon, a knight's attendant came down the mountain and headed northeast with a letter in his arms.
"To the south, in these four places, outposts were built one after another. When monsters were found in large numbers, beacon smoke was lit as a warning."
"To the east, in the name of the Guards, send an order to the pioneer knights and nobles in this direction to assemble and stand by, ready to support at any time."
"To the west, clear out the monster clan and cut down and burn trees to ensure an unobstructed view of Lumen South Mountain."
"To the north, always pay attention to whether there are beacon smoke ignited at the outpost, and don't be negligent in the slightest."
Weilin looked around, looking at everyone with majestic eyes: "I emphasize again that these things are related to our lives. If you don't want to lose your lives in vain, please keep your spirits up."
"Yes, sir." The six captains beat their chests and saluted, and responded loudly.
"Okay, let's all get down."
Everyone left one by one, and Weilin had a rare moment of leisure. He came to the bedside to rest and regain his energy.
The next month is a critical period for building the city. There is no room for sloppiness and the progress must be kept under control at all times.
……
Five days later, Baird received a letter from his lord in the town government of Qixing Town in Qixing Lake.
When I opened the letter, I saw that it read, "Drought is sweeping across the entire west. Be prepared to ensure the normal operation of the territory."
Baird was very confused when he received this letter.
According to the statistics reported by the following villages, this year will definitely be a bumper harvest year, with sufficient water sources everywhere and no sign of drought.
"Grain, by the way, purchased grain."
Looking at the dozen words above, Baird suddenly understood something, but the direction of his understanding seemed to be a little off.
Later, Baird asked people to call the caravan leader Raimundo over.
Right half of the West Napus subcontinent
