Chapter 58: Withered Beard Canyon

Garin remembered that the Withered Beard Canyon was located halfway up the mountain and was very hidden. This place was not even on the map of the Kingdom of Stromgarde. If Garin had not been to this place in his previous life, he would not have known that there was a rich mineral deposit here.

Even so, Garen only knew the approximate location, which was due east of Helm's Deep.

Helm's Deep is the name that Garin gave to the new town. Garin, who has difficulty naming, found it too difficult to choose a nice name, so he decided to follow the wisdom of his predecessors.

In order to explore the Withered Beard Canyon, Garin specially upgraded an Arcane Tower. After studying the skill of Magic Sentry in the Temple of Mysteries, the Arcane Tower can use a detection skill called "Revelation".

Reveal: Detects an area on the map, including invisible units. Duration: 15 seconds.

However, the cooldown time of this skill was a bit long, so Garin had to transfer a newly trained aircraft team over. They used both methods to explore the mountains in the east for two days before they discovered the Withered Beard Canyon.

Aircraft

Unit Type: Mechanical

Weapons: Anti-aircraft guns, aircraft bombs

Attack method: long-range attack

Attack type: Piercing, Siege

Armor type: Heavy

Skills: Anti-aircraft gun, aircraft bombs, true vision

Training cost: 90 units of gold, 30 units of wood

It is worth mentioning that when the aircraft came out of the assembly line in the workshop, it was a small helicopter without a pilot, with weapon racks installed on both sides of the fuselage.

The same is true for mortars, they only produce equipment but not operators!

Garin was puzzled for a long time, and it was the labor leader Cliff who told Garin that he could fire cannons and fly planes, and other people could also operate mortars after training, and other farmers could also be sent to fly aircraft.

stunned.

A versatile farmer! The cornerstone of the base!

At this stage, the aircraft has not yet researched aircraft bombs, and cannot attack ground units, only air targets. It is not yet time for it to play a combat function, so it can only be used as a reconnaissance aircraft.

Along with the aircraft team, a team of priests and a team of mages were also transferred here. These second-level troops, which can only be produced outside the city, take too long to train. It took a week to train a team of each.

The terrain of Kuxu Canyon is similar to that of the northern mine in the southeast mining area. It is a long and narrow valley with towering cliffs on both sides, and the mine is located at the innermost part.

However, the length of Kuxu Canyon is much longer than that of the northern mining area, exceeding two thousand meters.

After Amor's large army arrives, we can arrange for stalkers to go to the Withered Beard Canyon to explore the terrain and the specific situation of the ogres.

Ever since the last battle in the Southeast Mine, Garin felt that Master Kalru was really useful in reconnaissance, so after asking Kalru about it, he specially signed a new contract with Ravenholdt Manor and hired his team as high-level scouts of the Red Flame Army.

Garin's father contributed a lot to this. The reputation of the Trollbane family, coupled with the potential shown by Garin, made Ravenholdt Manor agree to this long-term contract.

After Amor and his friends rested for a night, Garin called everyone together to discuss matters.

In Aragon's camp, a group of high-ranking officials of the Red Flame Army gathered in the tent again.

Galen occupied the top position, with Amor, Gandalf and Aragorn on the left, and Omar, Varokal, Fadil and Master Kalu with the egg head on the right.

As for how they stood, Garin strongly felt that it was because of the beard.

Gandalf has white hair and a white beard that reaches his waist. When he wears a red robe, he looks like Santa Claus.

The Amors are middle-aged, weathered, and have thick beards.

Aragorn looked younger than Amor, about thirty years old, and had the same beard as Amor, but Aragorn's was black while Amor's was golden.

The four people on the other side are interesting. The oldest one, Omar, is only 26 years old and has not yet grown a goatee that he would have more than ten years ago. The others are even younger. Even the stalker master at the end is bald without a single hair. Moreover, Karlu has brown skin, so Garin secretly calls him the boiled egg master.

As if he had discovered something interesting, Jialin began to daydream again.

"Cough! Huh!"

Master Gandalf had been with Galen for a long time and had discovered that Galen often diverged his thoughts, especially when he walked out of the Altar of the Kings. Gandalf was deeply aware of the divergent mental power.

At this moment, Gandalf saw Garin's dreamy look and had no idea what he was complaining about in his heart, so he quickly reminded him.

When Galen heard Gandalf's reminder, he sat up straight and said:

"How is your rest, brothers? Are you ready to join the battle?"

"No problem, Your Highness!"

Omar and the other two answered in unison.

"Very good. Now I will inform you of the next target of the Red Flame Army."

"There is a rich mineral deposit in the mountains to our east, which is now occupied by a tribe of kobolds."

As he spoke, Garin took out a parchment scroll and prepared to spread it out on the table. Varokal recognized that this was the map he had made, so he quickly took it and spread out the parchment map.

He glanced at Varokal with approval. He was indeed his number one confidant and had a keen eye!

Garin turned his gaze back to the map and pointed at the approximate location of the Withered Beard Canyon with his finger.

"This tribe of dog-headed people is called Kuxu. They are located inside a canyon among the mountains. It is more than 2,000 meters long. I named it Kuxu Canyon."

"Kobolds are good at digging caves. They are generally between 1 meter and 1.2 meters tall and weigh between 70 and 100 kilograms. Most of the miners are warriors of the tribe. Their weapons are the pickaxes and shovels they use for mining. A small number of kobolds can use simple spells. They like to attack in a rush. The more kobolds there are, the bolder they are. So our tactic is to defeat them in a wave of battles. Then we can clean up the caves."

Garin told his subordinates as much information as he could about the kobolds so that they could have a general understanding of them.

A great man once said: "Despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically." Garin didn't want his subordinates, whom he had trained with great effort, to fall at the hands of the kobolds.

"If possible, I hope to conquer this tribe of ogres! Do you understand?" Garin spoke a long paragraph and concluded with one sentence.

"understand!"

"Three teams are dispatched this time. Who will be the vanguard?"

"I!"

"I!"

"I!"

"What are you cavalry going to do? Climb the mountain and enjoy the scenery?"

"Our cavalry can charge on horseback, and we can also charge on foot..."

"Boast as much as you can, Carl. Bragging is tax-free!"

Varokal and Fadil acted out what it means to be brothers on the surface, mocking each other in order to grab a spot.

"Okay! Shut up, Amor, you do the work."

Early in the morning, Jialin was so annoyed by the noise made by these two funny guys.

Amor first glanced at Aragorn, thinking, and then said confidently: "Master Karlu will lead the scout team to explore the intelligence of the canyon, and it would be best if we can find out the number of enemies. Mr. Aragorn will be the vanguard, Omar and Fadil will provide support, and Varokal will stay in the camp!"

As soon as Amor finished speaking, everyone had different expressions. Carlocar looked like a deflated ball, looking disappointed. Fadil and Omar looked at each other, and a flash of joy passed by.

Aragorn was also relatively calm. Although he, like Gandalf, had lost most of his memories of his previous life, his battle memories as a paladin were still there. For him, who was experienced, fighting against thousands of people was a piece of cake.

Garin and the others understood that Amor wanted to see Aragorn's ability and test his foundation. After all, except for Aragorn who came later, everyone present had fought together, and Amor knew them all.

Only by knowing clearly the abilities of his subordinates can Amor better command the troops and bring out the expertise of each one.
