Chapter 79: Split into two groups

"Oh, are you willing to take me with you?" Sylvia looked flattered, "Thank you so much!"

"It seems that I can only go to the second team." Seymour said sourly. He hoped that Ron could take him, but what they said was right. Sylvia was more interested in Ron than having another wanderer. The significance is obviously greater.

In the end, the second team finalized its candidates: Karad as the leader, Seymour, Andre, two arcane spellcasters, and the former mercenary, a total of six people.

"Do you really don't need me?" Bunnie asked, "I should be able to..."

"We need you more here, Bunnie," Kalad interrupted her, "Don't worry, our team is definitely a auxiliary operation, there won't be such dangerous tasks, and there is no need to bother the priest."

"Karad is right," Ron nodded. "My plan is for the two teams to take turns to move out, always ensuring that one team stays at the stronghold to deal with various special situations that may occur - right now, it's mainly Mindatis. , that grandson was already planning a counterattack; our team explored first and generated a report for archiving, and the second team once again cleaned and inspected the area we had explored, and submitted a report again. The base is rested and assembled for the next exploration.”

This method can put the main combat pressure on Ron's side to protect the second team; secondly, it can also ensure that no exploration is missed; thirdly, if one team accidentally overturns the car, there will be backup to respond. The whole army will not be destroyed.

"Besides that, I have another suggestion." Karad stood up after Ron finished speaking. "Ron, your strategy is safe, but it will become less efficient the further you go. So I suggest, The team that came back to rest should not be idle and lead a team of construction workers to start building outposts, strongholds and settlements in the explored areas, and at the same time attract outsiders to settle here, and our focus will gradually shift to the interior. "

"Did you say before that there was a black dragon inside, occupying the ruins of a town?"

"Yes, Green Marsh Town."

"Very good," Kalad nodded, "I propose that the initial goal is to expand there. Go and negotiate with the Black Dragon, and we will rely on the ruins to build our next large stronghold and radiate in all directions."

"You can have this."

The entire race of hobgoblins are born soldiers. Kalad can take into account an aspect that Ron cannot see. In this regard, Ron is very willing to accept the other party's suggestions.

"But we don't have that much population now," Andre asked. "We refugees from natural disasters in the north are basically here. If we just expand like this blindly..."

"You underestimated the attraction of delusion to the surroundings, child," Kalad always highlighted his sharp teeth when he smiled, making himself look majestic and terrifying, "and you also overestimated the stability of the surrounding city-states."

"Although the city-states south of the Delusion Land nominally share weal and woe, I have asked many caravans and they are nothing more than a loose alliance of hostile tribes that gathered together to keep warm due to greater foreign aggression."

"We don't even need to rely on plunder and conspiracy to get a kick! As long as we show our ability to gain a foothold here, a large number of people will come to join us with their families!"

"We only need to select their young adults to form an army and train them. I dare say that it will only take a few years to conquer all the surrounding city-states-"

Karad spoke impassionedly about his grand plan, while the others quickly found other topics to distract themselves from. This hobgoblin still has the blood of a dictatorial warlord flowing in his bones. Although the current conditions do not allow it, Karad will show his fangs to the surroundings anytime and anywhere.

If they really do what he does, they will soon become the target of public criticism.

"Ahem, that kind of thing can be put off later. Don't forget that we still have problems that need to be solved urgently. The most important thing is to lay a good foundation."

Ron nodded to the surroundings: "If you all have no doubts, let's prepare for each other. Ivy, you guys have a good rest these two days. We may need to go a little far, the distance is about the same as the Black Dragon's Lair."

"Why?" Victoria asked curiously, "We don't have a complete grasp of our surroundings, do we?"

"The message left by the golden dragon, one of the clues points to an abandoned ancient mine." Ron showed the golden scales in his hand, "There is nothing worth hiding in the message he left me, so I think the clue is probably In the mine."

"Understood."

Several partners nodded and everyone dispersed. Only Sylvia followed Ron back to the room. She was about to start teaching arcane arts to this young man who, although talented, had not received nearly any systematic training.

Before she can formally teach the arcane system, she must also teach Ron part of the language and writing so that he can understand the corresponding history, nature, arcana, and religious knowledge.

Only by mastering these can learning spells become easier.

"If you want to get closer to magic, the best way is to learn Dragon Language. But unfortunately, most humanoid creatures cannot pronounce Dragon Language normally. Vampires can probably master 70% of Dragon Language vocabulary, and Humans only learn 40%. I only learned 20% because the old man who taught me only knows so much.”

Sylvia sat across from Ron and took out her spellbook. Her spellbook was bound with a stack of waste paper and usually kept in a private place: "If you want to understand natural history and human history, Elven and Dwarven are very important. These two races have a long life span and their language systems have changed little. In addition, they are also the main languages ​​of some minority races, such as orcs, half-orcs, dwarves, etc."

"If you want to understand religious knowledge, you mainly rely on Common Language and Human Language."

"I can understand Common Language, after all, it is very widely spread, but why Human Language?" Ron asked curiously.

Sylvia thought for a moment: "It's probably because humans believe in all kinds of gods."

"You see, the dragons only believe in Bahamut and Tiamat, the elves, dwarves, halflings and most races basically only believe in their own pantheons, only humans - Helm, Ion, Bahamut, Tiamat, Grom, Lolth, even Baphomet and Zariel, you name a god, there is almost no god without human believers."

"Uh, Magrubiye (earth-like spirit)?"

Sylvia: "...Anyway, Human language is the best and most widely used language to carry faith."
