Fafnir stared at the three players in front of him with a serious expression.
Xiaobai and the other two looked serious on the surface, but they were complaining about Favronna's bald head in the private chat.
After a long pause, he nodded solemnly and said, "He is indeed an outstanding warrior.
I could see the twinkle in their eyes.”
Speaking human language: Flashing light = above level 20
Although heroes above level 20 don’t sound powerful, they are not even masters.
But in fact, heroes below level 20 can only be regarded as ordinary heroes, and heroes above level 20 can be called elites or quasi-masters.
This is because NPCs are different from players.
Players can be resurrected after death, but NPCs are gone after death.
Of course, there is actually a huge gap in combat power between a level 20 player and a level 20 NPC.
This is because the player is a blank slate, and the NPCs will have basic military capabilities.
But neither Fafnir nor Nila knew this yet.
"Warriors invited by the Mother Goddess, I have a mission for you."
Nila said to Li Xiaobai and the other two.
“In the south of our Bracada, there is a powerful family—the Kaier family.
The Kale family is a descendant of the legendary hero Castor.
Castor was a hero in the founding of Bracada and had always been guarding the demigod Gavin.
Of course, he is gone now.
Kelvin, the lord of [Pingdi City], is from the Kel family.
I have now confirmed that Kelvin betrayed Bracada. It was he and his men who destroyed a large number of the defense equipment of [Flatland City], which led to the fall of [Flatland City].
Kelvin also has an older brother, who is Kaierfu, the lord of the Falling Moon Territory.
I need you to go to the Fallen Moon Territory, find out the news about Kaierfu and secretly observe whether Kaierfu has rebelled.
If you can capture Kaierfu, do not act rashly and use this conch to notify us immediately."
Nila handed over a magic conch and continued:
"You must be careful. Although the Kaier family is no longer as powerful as before, it is still an old family with extensive connections in the southern part of the empire.
Put your own life first."
The princes and generals stood up straight and responded solemnly:
"Your Highness Nila, Your Highness Fafnir, please rest assured, we will complete the mission!"
After leaving the tent, Li Xiaobai, Lin Xi, and Wang Houjiangxiang returned to their rooms and began to discuss.
"Has everyone received the mission?"
"Received, [Search for evidence of Kaierfu rebellion], legendary mission."
Li Xiaobai said with a tangled expression:
"This is a bit troublesome. To complete this mission, we have to go to the Fallen Moon Territory, but the boss asked us to monitor the movements of the Bracada army here.
If I keep putting it off, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of Fafnir and the others."
The princes and generals thought for a while, sighed, and said, "If it really doesn't work, we can only act separately.
Two go find Kelford, and one stays here."
"No, that won't work. It will still easily arouse suspicion. Besides, one person cannot be comprehensive, which will leave a big loophole in intelligence surveillance."
Lin Xi denied it calmly.
"What should we do then?"
"Wait a minute, let me think about it."
Lin Xi lowered his head.
Sunset Arrow: Boss! We are in trouble.
Seven pigeons:?
Sunset Arrow: Jiligulu, bilibili...
Qi Ge: I understand. You guys report directly to Nila later.
Tell Nila that Kaierfu is no longer in the Fallen Moon Territory, he has been transferred to Thunder City.
Qi Ge: Nila and Fafnir will give you permission to enter Thunder City, most likely with three identity cards.
Qi Ge: Then you guys delay a little longer, I will find a way to transfer Kaierfu to the front line.
Sunset Arrow: Hmm? Let the NPC come to us directly? Is there such an operation? Boss, you are too awesome.
Sunset Arrow: I see!
Lin Xi raised his head, full of confidence.
"Done! Nothing can stop me."
…
…
In the vast Arctic Ocean, the [Dragon Scorpion Eagle] troops and the group of ice horn whales have gradually approached the shallow sea area.
This place is only about twenty kilometers away from the land of the Everfrost Icefield.
Even without the help of the group of ice whales, the temperature was within the tolerance range of the [Dragon Scorpion Eagle] troops.
A group of ice whales are prone to run aground when they enter shallow seas. When they arrive here, Qi Ge has to separate from [Hum Wu Yi] and the others.
“Eh~~”
[Buzz-woo-yi] It chirped as quietly as possible, bidding farewell to the seven pigeons reluctantly.
Qi Ge gently stroked [Buzz Wu Yi]'s horn and said softly:
"Thank you for your hard work, [Om Woo Yi].
I promised you that I would make those mages of Bracada pay with their blood."
"Om~~" (I wish you a safe journey and a successful start, warrior!)
"Woo woo~" (Please come back safely. We will meet you nearby.)
The kind-hearted Ice Horn Whale tribe offers their blessings to the seven pigeons who are about to go on the expedition.
The whales' low-pitched calls merged into one, creating ripples on the blue sea.
Qi Ge rode on Zi Yuan and waved to them.
"Everyone, don't get too close. Be careful not to attract the attention of the Bracada sentinels."
“Buzz~~”
After saying goodbye to the Ice Horn Whale, Qi Ge returned to the back of the [Dark Infinite Dragon].
Muriel looked at Qi Ge with a half-smile and said with emotion:
“The extremely cold climate of the Arctic Ocean has always made this place a legendary forbidden area.
I have always wondered how you would get our troops across the Arctic Ocean.
I thought you were going to take out a magical combination treasure, or that you were actually an ice demigod with a hidden identity.
But I never thought that you could have such a close connection with the overlord of the Arctic Ocean.
I have to say, you surprise me.”
Qi Ge knew that Moriel would not praise her for no reason.
Since she praised it so much, there must be something behind it .
So he didn't answer, but just waited with a smile.
As expected, Muriel nodded and asked:
“Xingfeng, getting here is only the first step. Next, we have to find a way to cross the Everfrost Icefield.
Bracada has been deeply rooted in the Everfrost Icefield for many years. Even during the unstable periods of the Everfrost Icefield, there are still countless outposts guarding the Everfrost Icefield.
According to your plan, we need to enter the heart of Bracada without being discovered by anyone.
Otherwise, once Bracada is prepared, the effectiveness of our surprise attack will be greatly reduced.
At that time I asked you how to sneak in.
You said to keep it secret for now.
Out of trust in you, I did not ask you in detail.
Now that we're here, you should at least tell me the truth, right?"
Hearing Moril's question, Rollelei, Silica, Hola and Elni all turned their heads and looked at her curiously.
Qi Ge smiled lightly and replied:
“Indeed, Bracada has many outposts in the Everfrost Icefield.
But the Everfrost Icefield is extremely cold when it is unstable.
Gargoyles and golems will lose their combat ability due to the cold (movement speed reduced to 1, attack and defense -10).
Mages and djinn who don't have the ability to adapt to the cold cannot live in the outpost for long.
Although mages and djinn can rely on constantly replacing warm stones to maintain body temperature, no mage or djinn will choose to do so.
Because when the Everfrost Icefield is unstable, these outposts are likely to be attacked by powerful roaming monsters and are in danger of being destroyed at any time.
To Bracada, these outposts densely scattered across the Everfrost Icefield are all consumables.
Mages and djinns are naturally not consumables.
Therefore, the guards in all outposts are snow elves.
And those snow fairies are now our own people.
They will rely on the wide field of vision of the outpost to help us plan our route, ensuring that we can reach the snowy plateau at the border of the Everfrost Icefield without being discovered by anyone."
"Fairy?!"
Muriel was shocked.
“Xingfeng, you have to know that as long as one goblin reports, our whereabouts will be discovered.
Unless you can ensure that all the snow elves in the entire Everfrost Icefield, with so many outposts, will help us.
But how is this possible?
The goblins are one of the seven major races of Bracada, and they are the people of Bracada."
Qi Ge shook his head and replied with emotion:
"nothing is impossible.
I am 100% sure that all the goblins will stand on our side.
Although the goblins are the people of the tower, the tower is too cruel to them.
If the monarch treats his subjects as his own brothers and sisters, then the subjects will treat the monarch as their own confidant.
If the monarch treats his subjects like dogs and horses, then the subjects will treat the monarch like a stranger.
If the monarch treats his subjects like grass, the subjects will treat the monarch like an enemy.
The ruling class of Bracada treated the goblins as firewood to light the furnace, as livestock to be harvested repeatedly, and as soil to be trampled on at will.
The goblins naturally regard them as their sworn enemies."
Qi Ge took out an exquisite glass cabinet from his space backpack, which was filled with colorful scraps of cloth of various sizes.
He stared into Muriel's eyes and said solemnly:
“I have told the goblins guarding the sentry posts that if something unexpected happens, their help to us may be discovered.
There is a high possibility that they will all be executed, and I may not be able to rescue them in time.
After those goblins heard what I said.
They all took off their military equipment and laid it on the ground, and each cut a small piece of cloth from his robe.
The goblins told me that if they were executed, they wanted me to bury their rags as proof that they had ever been in this world.
They have long been ready to face death, and even the fear of death cannot shake them, so how could they report us?"
"When a monarch treats his subjects like grass, his subjects will treat him like an enemy."
Muriel pondered over Qi Ge's words, and her expression gradually became serious.
"Xingfeng, you are so brave.
You're not just talking about Bracada, you're talking about me too, right?"
"I have no such intention!"
Qi Ge lowered his head slightly, thinking:
Actually I do.
Negan's ladder slavery is Negan's biggest hidden danger.
Negan’s lowest level slaves are cavemen, but in Negan’s true legend, Elache, Demac, Shacket, Jaeger, and Gene are also cavemen.
If ladder slavery is not eliminated, Negan will suffer backlash one day.
Just like Bracada.
In response to Qi Ge's words, Xilika and Luo Lelei had different expressions.
Xilika had a complicated expression.
Her [Potato City] is the main city with the most slaves in the entire Negan.
The vast and fertile plains require a large number of caveman slaves.
But Qi Ge's words also made her reflect a little.
This made her realize that perhaps the reason why potato production in the Fertile Plains had not been able to increase was because of slavery.
Basil Ray agreed very much.
In Negan, except for the Dark Dragon City, the Harpies are all second-class slaves, with a status only slightly higher than that of the cavemen.
Qi Ge's words really touched her heart.
[System prompt: Luo Lelei's favorability towards you +20]
[System prompt: Xilika's favorability towards you +5]
Muriel looked at Qi Ge deeply, snorted, turned around and said:
"You are the first one who dares to scold me in such a roundabout way.
Fortunately, what you said is not entirely wrong, so I will let you go this time."
[System prompt: Moril's favorability towards you +2]
Muriel then asked:
“You also said that when the outpost was unstable in the Everfrost Icefield, it was manned by elves.
But now that the Everfrost Icefield has stabilized, will your plan still work?
Wouldn't Bracada send wizards and djinn to man the outposts?"
"Of course."
A scornful smile appeared on Qi Ge's face.
“It’s just that the wizard and the djinn are both busy.
The Everfrost Icefield had just been recovered, and a large number of ownerless mines appeared.
What a rare feast this is for the dignitaries of Yongshuang City and the entire Bracada!
The plundering of these mines alone is enough to cause a life-and-death struggle among them. How could there be room for a small air traffic control outpost?
Even the new legend Trosa, who had taken over Everfrost City, was blocked in the city lord's castle by those who came to give gifts.
He has not even inspected the territory once since he took over."
"Oh, I see. That's definitely Bracada's style."
Muriel also laughed contemptuously.
"Xingfeng, since you are so sure, let's set off quickly.
I can't wait to tear a big hole in the tower!"
"Hold on."
Qi Ge took out a red conch from his space backpack and knocked it gently three times.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
Three dull vibration sounds were heard simultaneously from the goblins in charge of each sentry post in the Everfrost Icefield!
Kendara, who was far away near the Everfrost City outpost, found a quiet place to sit down.
He took out a scarlet conch from his backpack, his expression extremely serious.
He carefully stroked the conch in his hand, his eyes burning with blazing flames and a pious look.
It's like a believer meeting his own god.
"Great child of miracle, the utopia you promised is the destination of our fairy clan.
This hypocritical and dirty Bracada was eventually swept into the ruins of history by you."
Kendela held the scarlet conch tightly and struck it five times repeatedly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
One is long, two is short, two is long.
Similar scenes were repeated in every sentry post.
The seven doves held the conch, and there were many bumps on the conch, some of which turned red and some turned white.
After translating the conch patterns one by one, he marked each sentry post on the map of the Everfrost Icefield with a red or blue pen.
Muriel looked at Qi Ge's actions and asked curiously:
"Little military advisor, what are you doing?"
"mark.
The responses of the fairies will cause the pattern on the conch to change, and only those who fully understand the meaning of each pattern can read the meaning of the pattern.
This is a unique means of communication for the sea people, and it is extremely confidential.
Communicating in this way can also be considered a form of protection for the fairies."
Qi Ge picked up the paper, pointed at the pattern on it, and said to Muriel:
"Your Majesty the Dragon Queen, please look, I have divided the entire Everfrost Icefield into 7*7 blocks, a total of 49 blocks.
The surveillance range of each goblin outpost is a circle.
A blue circle indicates that it is passable, and a red circle indicates that it is dangerous.
Our location is here now.
Just fly along the blue circle to avoid Bracada's surveillance.
We should fly as high as possible, preferably above the clouds.
This not only prevents me from being accidentally discovered, but also gives me a way to respond in case of an emergency."
"That's quite thoughtful."
Muriel nodded with satisfaction.
…
…
The wind was cold and biting, with gusts and storms blowing snowflakes.
High in the sky, giant dragons were flying in neat rows.
Waves of closely connected white clouds were constantly left behind by the dragon army.
Most of the dragons were well-trained and did not look around, but there was one naughty red dragon that looked around curiously while flying.
Perhaps because he had never been to the sky of Bracada before, the red dragon was particularly excited. He even wanted to spit out a breath of sulfur-smelling dragon breath to melt the clouds mixed with ice and snow.
Bang!
The black dragon flying above his head swung its tail and hit it hard on the head, knocking it quiet.
Chilong immediately straightened his neck and raised his head, perfectly integrating into the team atmosphere.
On the back of the mythical soldier [Dark Infinite Dragon], Elni and Hora deployed a magic barrier to help the seven pigeons withstand the strong wind.
Qi Ge stared at the drawings and conch in his hands carefully, and kept taking notes on the paper with a magic pen.
Once the pattern on the conch changes, Qi Ge will take the magic pen and lightly tap it, and the colors of the blue circle and the red circle will quickly change.
Relying on this method, Qi Ge constantly commanded the [Dragon Scorpion Eagle] troops to adjust their flight direction, perfectly avoiding all surveillance from Bracada.
Moril sat next to Qi Ge, looked at Qi Ge's drawings, and sighed:
"This blueprint of yours, combined with your conch, can actually provide real-time monitoring over a large area?
It is even more convenient than the demigod-level ability to see through the atmosphere and the earth."
Qi Ge smiled and said, “The blueprints and conch are just processing equipment. The real useful ones are the fairy sentries that provide intelligence.
Those fairies who took great risks to provide us with information are the ones who contributed greatly to our smooth journey.”
Muriel raised her chest slightly and said:
“Of course I know that.
The goblins have always been there. Don’t you deserve my praise for being able to organize these goblins?
Feel honored, little military advisor.
I seldom praise others.”
Qi Ge smiled slightly.
Of course he knows.
Rather than praise, Muriel prefers simple and direct material rewards.
Verbal praise is really not her style.
Qi Ge certainly understood what she meant. It was an expression of appreciation for herself.
I guess she should be thinking about including herself in the underground city's forces now.
If it were in the previous life, Qi Ge might have accepted it very happily.
But not in this life.
Therefore, Qi Ge could only pretend to be confused and replied as if he did not understand:
"If your Majesty is interested in my method, I can give you the detailed instructions on how to use this conch and how to set the password.
However, this set of conch shells is a specialty of the mermaid clan and is difficult to buy. "
Is it the conch I want? I want you!
How could someone as smart as you not understand what I meant?
Muriel glanced at Qi Ge sideways, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether he was really stupid or just pretending.
At this moment, the conch in Qi Ge's hand suddenly flickered.
The pattern on the conch suddenly changed, and large bright red dots flashed one after another!
"What is this?! All troops stop!"
Qi Ge stood up in surprise and spoke quickly.
“Swoosh~~~”
Muriel immediately whistled a melodious whistle.
All the dragons suddenly stopped in the air at the same time!
It took less than half a second for the dragon army to go from rapid movement to sudden stop!
Muriel asked seriously, "What's going on?"
“Not sure yet.”
Qi Ge shook his head and picked up the drawing.
He pointed to the pattern on the blueprint and said, "Your Majesty, look, this is the southern part of the Everfrost Icefield. Starting from the direction closest to the Thunder Mountain Range, a large number of sentries are rapidly turning red.
From the intervals at which the sentry posts turn red, one can roughly estimate the enemy's marching speed.
I suspect that there is a high probability that a troop has set out from the Thunder Mountains on an armed airship, heading towards the eastern border of Bracada.
The only city near the Thunder Mountains is Thunder City, the capital of the Tower.
Thunder City has the strongest teleportation array in the entire Bracada, which can easily teleport a large number of troops.
Only when the total number of troops exceeds 20,000 will the teleportation array be unavailable and they must rely on armed airships for transportation.
If my guess is correct, this is most likely an army from Thunder City.
Moreover, it is the main force led by the demigod Somla."
Hola stood aside and asked, "Your Highness, do you need me to use perspective magic to take a look?"
"Don't do that ."
Qi Ge quickly shook his head.
"Somla is a demigod of magic. He will definitely notice such a strong magical fluctuation as the perspective magic."
"Then, as long as he can't detect it, it'll be fine."
Ernie walked up to Qige and looked at him confidently.
Qi Ge's eyes lit up and he immediately understood.
"Your Majesty Ernie, thank you for your hard work."
“It’s my job.”
Ernie opened her arms and a golden light began to flicker around her.
“Goddess of Fortune, I pray to you, I will use one hundred thousand gold coins to exchange for the supreme miracle!
From this moment on, my magic will be silent and unnoticed by anyone!
Level 1 magic, seeing through the atmosphere.
True god-level effect—looking far away! "
This is Elni's legendary profession, which can use gold coins to enhance the magic effect.
The more gold coins you spend, the more powerful you are.
In front of Erni, a bright screen gradually emerged.
On the screen, a black mass of armed airships covered the entire sky.
A large amount of black smoke emerged from the sky above the armed airship, forming a spectacular black cloud.
"Thousands, Tens of Thousands"
Muriel bit her finger and said:
“Conservative estimates put the number at tens of thousands of armed airships.
If these armed airships were used to carry mages, they could carry millions.
Even if all the regular troops of Thunder City were added together, there would be no way they could have so many mages.
This can only mean that there are a large number of armed airships carrying huge troops that are enough to fill one.
It is very likely that the Titans have been dispatched.
Little Military Advisor, you guessed correctly, it is indeed the main force."
