Chapter 306: Climbing the stairs, 3 reinforcements
Different people have different focuses on Abes' performance.
Crimson naturally didn't care.
What Anivia cares about is the means of this connection.
"Why didn't you tell me about this method?"
Through that thing that resembles a winter earcup, sound signals seem to be transmitted from far away.
Although the others also realized that the metal object that Abes put on the helmet with the two sides connected was a communication tool, they did not think of it as a magic radio station which was beyond their imagination.
They simply understand the effects of spells or magic props and magic items.
All in all, it was probably through such means that Lord Abes was able to suddenly become as specialized as a doctor when dealing with the insect-vomiting plague.
It should be by using such means that Lord Abes was able to prepare and make arrangements in advance in the royal capital when fighting against the witch.
Otherwise, even if she was beaten to death, she was unwilling to believe that the ancient hero who valued the people so much would casually teleport a troublesome enemy back to the capital?
It's like dropping a nuclear bomb on your own home through time and space, right?
"It has always been inconvenient to talk about it, and only through a single line of communication can confidentiality be ensured. Of course, it is no longer necessary now. Once the army arrives, it means that it will be difficult for me to continue my work of hiding my identity."
Different from Anivia's casual tone of conversation, Bai Renchou seemed extremely respectful.
He carefully put the weapon back into the scabbard, and while swinging it, he tried his best to control the flying ash so that it would not fly towards where Abes was standing.
Then, the originally straight waist seemed to bend slightly.
This made Abes feel a little funny.
"Well, you're an amnesiac, and you're still trying to act soft. I wouldn't blame you even if you just pretended that you don't understand the ways of the world."
"You are all my companions after all."
In response to this, Bai Renchou shook his head and said, "I have lost my memory, but I am not a fool."
The tone of Abes and the information reflected in his words were enough to make him admire him.
Originally... in the beginning, they thought that what Qian Zhongzhan said about contacting the royal capital had some other meaning.
Even if he needs to contact the capital or the army, he should be a scout or an agent.
It's like a younger brother who pulls the trigger on an arrow to pierce the clouds and summons thousands of troops; it's like a Han envoy who sacrifices himself to create a reason for the country.
What he did was probably the kind of work that manipulates people's hearts and minds, forcing them to agree under dangerous circumstances, giving a seemingly reasonable excuse, and then letting the soldiers arrive suddenly.
However, the actual situation was that every word that came out of Qian Zhongzhan's mouth under the fully enclosed helmet was not a request, nor a report.
Every sentence is actually an order and a command!
Moreover, these are precise instructions issued by units such as columns, battalions and companies!
In terms of the geographical scope of his orders, he controlled areas from the fertile lands of the south to Crow Castle and the capital;
The types of soldiers available include at least three types: soldiers specialized in dealing with alien species, artillery, and ordinary soldiers.
This is basically a general... No, this is basically a general!
However, Bai Renchou would be impressed by this, and Anivia and Crimson would feel relieved because they knew they would be assigned tasks soon, but Soran would not think so.
In fact, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure out what those voices were saying.
Abes's confident and reasonable arrangements became a suicidal curse in his ears.
This was pure venting of anger, because his two brothers died because of General Paddy's meaningless arrangements, so he had an instinctive rejection of all tactical, strategic and combat arrangements.
However, the people around him who were already active, and Abes who had decided to put off the entanglements and troubles until everything was dealt with, would not stop to exchange their annoyance with him.
"Get ready to open the door and rush out!"
----------
It is extremely difficult to climb the stairs and charge all the way to the top floor of the castle.
Especially when the location is a place that exceeds the threshold and new undead creatures are born anytime and anywhere.
But with Abes's order, a fighting spirit was ignited in the hearts of several people.
This is the final countdown. As long as we hold on, reinforcements will arrive.
After quickly organizing their weapons and equipment, they stared at the heavy wooden door with determined eyes.
"Let me open the door."
As usual, Abes walked in the front, but this time, he no longer held a giant sword in his hand.
Bang!
On the surface it was a giant sword, but in reality it was just a camouflage shell on the outside of the weapon. It fell off with a bang, and Abes casually unloaded the large piece of iron into the room.
Since I have already prepared to explain everything to them after the matter is accomplished, there is no need to continue with this disguise that will affect my performance.
The half sword, which was more suitable for him to fight, returned to Abes's hand.
However, in order to deal with undead creatures that often use biting and scratching attacks, it is still necessary to continue wearing this full body armor and helmet.
And when Bai Renchou saw the great changes in the weapon in Abes's hand, he was amazed.
The giant sword itself is sharp and gorgeous enough, but the shell is just a camouflage. Hidden inside is a more powerful magic-infused weapon.
He had fought against Qian Zhongzhan before, so he knew that the piece of iron thrown aside was not just scrap metal.
"After all, it's a good piece of iron. Wouldn't it be a pity to throw it away like this..." Before Bai Renchou could finish his words, Abes denied it with a smile.
"We can always take it back when reinforcements arrive. The Breland family will be back in the hands of the country. How can we afford to lose you?"
"And there is another point. The enemies outside are waves of undead. To deal with a large number of enemies, you have replaced the greatsword with a half-hand sword. Will you be unable to resist because of the lack of length and weight of the weapon?"
This is a legitimate concern.
Although the giant sword is bulky, it has suitable usage scenarios.
There is no doubt that when it comes to dealing with large numbers of undead creatures, a greatsword that can be used to move, block, and push back is much better than a half-sword.
Unless... after switching weapons, this person can become strong enough to break away from the corrections brought by the advantages and disadvantages of the weapons in different application scenarios.
In response to this, Abes's face, which was still covered by a fully enclosed helmet, showed a smile that could not be seen.
"Don't worry, I'm very strong - you will all know my use of the half-hand sword and my name after the dust settles."
Now that he had received the other party's affirmation and was certain that the other party was not trying to reveal his disguise out of impulse, but was absolutely certain to use the half-hand sword to fight, Bai Renchou stopped talking.
I don’t know whether this new thing can give them a surprise, or whether it can handle the next attack like the giant sword?
Abes walked in front of the door, and the others gathered behind him, waiting nervously and expectantly.
On the side, Anivia's bow and arrow were already ready, and the arrow was flashing coldly in the darkness.
"Open!" Abes growled and pushed open the iron gate.
Immediately afterwards, the solid wooden door made a dull pushing and blocking sound, instantly exposing the surging tide of undead creatures outside.
"Watch out for the arrows!" Anivia did not hesitate and immediately drew her bow and arrows. Several magic arrows flew out like lightning and accurately hit the skeletons and zombies in front. The burst of magic power instantly smashed their heads into pieces.
"Tsk, the effect that Hiinagi-sama added to my arrow hasn't even taken effect yet. It's so weak."
However weak they are, the scary thing about the enemy is not their strength, but the fact that new enemies come in waves, leaving them no chance to breathe.
At the side, Soran also shot the arrow hesitantly. "I... will support you."
After he finished whispering, he fired many shots in rapid succession.
After grasping the ability of the time mage a little, he still used it to shoot arrows, which was really a waste of talent.
It's like fighting using instinct.
Without mastering any magic, all people can rely on is their self and instinct.
"As long as you can control the time between the shooting and stringing the arrow, you can complete the cycle of shooting-drawing the bow-shooting in the fastest way possible."
Although it cannot be said that the attacks were pouring down like raindrops, it can be said that Soran's attacks were almost non-stop. He knocked down several corpses that tried to approach.
The technique looked skillful and quick, with almost no pause.
This is the nature of time.
"Quick, follow up!"
At Abes's command, he led the way out. The steps under his feet changed rapidly, from the stone steps in the basement to the chiseled stone brick steps indoors, and finally to wooden steps with a more lifelike atmosphere - with rotating and thick, furry carpets.
In short, as they ran so fast, even the stone and wood of the steps seemed to make rapid echoes behind them.
Even after working and living in the royal palace for a short period of time, Abes realized that when it comes to running, this kind of castle is not an easy task.
Even though it is not as huge as Raven Castle, it is simply the difference between a large manor and a detached two-story villa, but it is still very easy to lose your direction and mind when you want to move when surrounded by enemies.
Therefore, the following words came into being.
"I just took the wrong path. I went half a circle too far in this corridor."
"Come back, that's not a door, it's a wall that collapsed because of too many enemies."
"Not this way. Looking at the stairs, it should be this way."
"Wrong, wrong. We have already reached one level. If we continue to go up now, the stairs should be on the opposite side facing the city. In other words, we have to go around one more circle."
With another quick reaction, Abes turned around and slashed with his sword, instantly cutting the enemy who was falling sideways into two pieces.
The giant sword was switched to a half-hand sword, and it was as light as if someone who had been exercising with a sandbag for a long time just took it off.
This means that even if Abes cannot use methods such as pushing and blocking, he can directly use a faster method to resolve the battle - that is, to kill directly with quick reaction and attack speed!
"Don't stop, keep moving forward!"
Although there was some confusion, Abes's voice still rang out amidst the chaos, carrying an unquestionable power.
This force allowed them to climb the stairs and run non-stop.
----------
From a geographical point of view, Carterburg's distance from the Gyeonggi region and the western region are actually different.
It is closer to Gyeonggi.
The reason why they did not advance immediately and even strictly controlled the population from flowing from that side was not a military problem, but a political issue.
It is just like an island called Golden Gate, which is 200 kilometers away from the main island of Wa Wa, but only 2 kilometers away from us, but in the end it was assigned to Wa Wa.
Abes made this arrangement with one thing in mind, which was that he did not want the North, which was used to splitting again and again, to be completely divided into two due to the loss of this transit station.
It became two "isolated islands" on the left and right, allowing other forces in the northern countries, Zhongzhou and Donghuang, and even demons and devils to take advantage of the opportunity.
Abes was unwilling to be such a sinner. Even if he planned to unify the North and even the entire continent in the future, he did not want to give other forces the opportunity to interfere in the affairs of the small kingdom of Wommza. Therefore, he had to find a way to keep the east and west sides of the small kingdom closely connected.
It can be said that, in the best-case scenario, Fort Carter serves as a link between the two sides of the country in times of turmoil.
And it turns out that this does have a certain effect.
Among the refugees who escaped through Carterburg, even though most of them went across the border through this location, some of them eventually entered the Gyeonggi region controlled by Abesi.
And after entering, they will be greeted by the beautiful reality of having a house to live in, a job to do, and food to eat.
If you want to farm, you will have the opportunity to be organized and sent back to the fertile land in the south.
The only restriction imposed on them is that they are temporarily not allowed to return to the west to recruit people. They still need to continue developing for a period of time.
However, with Nas's invasion, these restrictions suddenly disappeared.
They don't need to continue to give Fort Carter as a favor to the western forces, nor do they need to continue to focus on development.
The strategy of building high walls, storing abundant food, and slowly becoming king is usually very troublesome when it is broken.
However, this does not mean that it is a huge adventure.
Because with the help of the magic industrial system, their combat effectiveness is no longer the same as before.
Who could have imagined that the royal capital could already allow some ordinary people to overlook the earth from the air.
After the Iron Bird formation, which had been prepared long ago, passed over and confirmed that there was no enemy response from the air, the Transport Iron Birds also set off immediately.
Its huge abdomen can carry about a hundred people.
Only ten flights are needed to transport all the elite troops that General Paddy was so proud of half a year ago.
Fifty sorties, half a year ago a quarter of the soldiers in the entire kingdom would have been packed up and taken away.
And now, although the soldiers of the original Crow Castle were dealt with because they were infected with the madness of the one-eyed god Gruumsh, after several rounds of expansion, the military strength of the royal capital has long exceeded this limit.
Not only have their numbers soared, their fighting level has also become stronger.
This can be seen from the fact that the transport-type iron bird, in addition to carrying soldiers, is also loaded with boxes of magic grenades, magic bombs, magic crystal boxes, magic arm armor, and armor expansion.
These are not just good-looking things, each one is real equipment and weapon.
And it is just such a team... with three thousand people flying across the sky above the mountains!
