Chapter 289 New Magic

After returning to the Raza area, Ryan just had a quick inspection of the Amethyst City, which was designated as the capital, and then left for Iron Gate Castle.

The Iron Gate Fortress is located on the north bank of the upper reaches of the Skazardan River, and it is the only city built on the north bank of the Skazardan River. The city stands on the banks of the only shoal on the upper Skazedan River where troops can pass on a large scale. In previous years, the Dothraki who went south to loot all crossed the river from here to the wilderness of Raza. And Ryan learned from the troops stationed here that some scout cavalry had recently appeared near the fort.

Fortunately, with the existence of the belief network established by radio and rose crystals, Ryan can receive news from all over the place no matter where he is. Obviously, the Dothraki did not know that the Lazarins had established an efficient monitoring system along the river. Within two months, five or six thousand people had crossed the river to loot. The siege of troops and gunboats on the river was annihilated, and no one was able to escape back to the north bank of the Skazadan. Now, for the Dothraki, it has become a place shrouded in the fog of war.

Naturally, they also realized that crossing the river in batches is equivalent to dying. According to the information gathered along the river, only extremely scattered Dothraki reconnaissance teams crossed the river in the last month, and they never left the river more than 20 kilometers each time. In this way, although the Dothraki squad had been spotted several times, they had already fled across the river when the mobile troops arrived.

Now the most intensive reconnaissance area of ​​the other party is the Iron Gate Fort area, but under Ryan's order, the army will only shoot to disperse the enemies that are too close, and the alchemy bird flying in the sky is responsible for the equivalent reconnaissance mission. According to the results of the aerial reconnaissance, there were only a lot of elite reconnaissance troops near Iron Gate Fort, and at least there were no large troops within a day's distance of the cavalry's rapid march.

In previous years, in addition to receiving tribute from several city-states, the Dolasks also came to Laza to acquire slaves. And it is impossible for them to be unresponsive to such a big change this year, so now everyone can only wait for the enemy to appear in the Iron Gate Fort. Fortunately, the Laza area is dominated by plains, and with the help of a large number of robots, the railway has been repaired to the other side of the river. And the bumper harvest of grain and other products caused by the sudden burst of productivity this year has also given the 15,000 soldiers of Iron Gate Fort enough logistics to continue to wait here.

Especially when Rose Crystal spends the night in Iron Gate Castle every three days, it can be said that morale is very high here. Organizing to watch movies (mainly cartoons), competitive games and listening to sermons by clergymen known as the Crystal Priests also contributed a lot to maintaining morale. In this case, Ryan believes that his patience in waiting is much higher than that of the Dolasks who have been cut off from a large source of wealth.

In the process of waiting, the news of the great changes in this land began to slowly spread out. A month after Ryan was in the Iron Gate Castle, it was October 297 of Aegon's calendar. A mission from afar came to Iron Gate Castle.

There were only a dozen people in this mission, and the leader was a man wearing a robe full of beads, with dark purple-blue skin and blue-black lips. The man behind him was dressed similarly to him, with pale skin and blue lips.

Is this Avatar? Ryan thought impolitely. However, when they entered the hall, Ryan felt a chaotic and weak magical reaction from them. At the same time, they looked like middle-aged men, but they were old and thin in the perception of life magic.

Hey, wizard? I am very happy to see Ryan who is willing to communicate with colleagues in this world, even if these colleagues seem to be in a bad state. After all, those who attacked him with very rough blood or shadow curse before, were easily crushed to death by the angry rose crystal, so Ryan could only ask for some knowledge by torturing his soul.

After some simple exchanges, Ryan learned that their wizard of Qarth was led by their leader, the Immortal. The Immortals declare that they are seekers who have come to find the true meaning of magic,

I came here to confirm the existence of magic power.

Ryan received them kindly and arranged for them to live in the Crystal City first. After all, he has to direct the war recently and has no time for academic exchanges.

So after they left Iron Gate Castle for the Crystal City the next day, Ryan put this matter behind him until he was woken up by the rose crystal when he slept three days later.

The reason why the rose crystal came in such a hurry was because the wizards who were the guests did a very evil thing: they broke into the crystal palace at night, killed several priests and guards, and took them away as holy relics. Rose Crystal Resting Box.

Because even if it is a parallel god after being conferred, the rose crystal has the ability to transmit to each other in its own temple. So she felt that something was wrong and immediately teleported back to the Crystal Palace from the Temple of the Iron Gate Castle, just to block the group of wicked people who murdered and sold goods.

Those wizards tried to use magic to resist, but fighting with the deity in the main temple of the gods was a pure act of courting death. Even if the rose crystal was a parallel importer, they still easily killed this group of robbers. Later, through the torture of the soul, she found that the wizards found that the existence of the box could enhance the magic power of the wizards when they visited the Crystal Sanctuary, so she wanted to take the box back to Qarth.

This incident made Rose Crystal very angry, especially the wizards could obviously not hurt the people in the temple. So she specially teleported back to Iron Gate Castle to discuss with Ryan how to retaliate.

After holding back their sleepiness and discussing until the sun rises, the two finally came up with a revenge plan. The next morning, after saying goodbye to the rose crystal that was ready to be transported through his shrine to a merchant ship in Qarth, Ryan yawned and returned to his bedroom to sleep.

A week later, when Ryan was in the office, he saw the little doll flying in excitedly. It seems that she has gained a lot from this trip to Qarth. In the excited chatter of the little doll, Ryan finally figured out what she had done.

He blew up the Temple of Immortality with magic as soon as he arrived at Quells, but under the temptation of mastering the magic power, all the wizards who stayed in the Temple of Immortality all turned into licking dogs of Rose Crystal. This week, Rose Crystal was there to collect all kinds of magical information and train those wizards into their own clergy.

The Natural Rose Crystal also did not forget to help Lane obtain docks and shops in the new country of Qarth. With the help of the wizard who acquired supernatural ability, it was easy to take the property of the previous four slave city-states in Qarth to himself. Have. After handing over the property with the members of the caravan, Rose Crystal returned to the Iron Gate Fortress with a lot of magic information.

For the next time, Ryan studied the materials copied on leather, wood, and even carved stone. While continuing to deal with various things.

It was not until November that Ryan received news from the merchants: Khao Drogo, the most powerful of the Dothraki, went to Pantos in the west to marry a wife, and he might not be able to return for a while. Come.

This news made everyone feel a little depressed. Some commanders suggested that the alert level should be relaxed first. After all, in this highest alert state, both resource consumption and personnel fatigue speed are a bit high. However, all these proposals were rejected by Ryan, because he felt that since the enemy was the most terrifying Kaa on the grassland, he must not be underestimated.

Sure enough, after half a month, many outposts in the west sent an alarm: a cavalry team of about 100,000 people on the north bank of the river was traveling eastward day and night, and it seemed that they were going to raid the Zara area.

And the aerial investigation of Rose Crystal also proved this, and the decisive battle between the two ethnic groups with centuries of hatred is about to break out.
