Chapter 2164: Please Don’t Play With Russian Dolls
“You can find all kinds of ancient corpses in the ice sheets, including those races who have disappeared in history, and those races who have never appeared in historical records at all.” Mag looked at all of them and calmly said, “It isn’t surprising that they have zombie dragons. Perhaps, they even have other kinds of flying ancient corpses.”
Everyone had a solemn expression. This wasn’t good news. This war was perhaps much tougher than what they had imagined.
“Apart from the zombie dragons, the ice javelins that they toss are also very lethal. Although the devilized ancient corpses have lost the powers they had when they were alive, their strength is enhanced.” Irina continued speaking, “I checked on Elizabeth’s injuries earlier. The ice javelin is very powerful and it will also leave the evil aura on the wound, aggravating it and making it harder to heal.”
“How do we resolve the evil aura then? It’s impossible not to get hurt in battle,” Dominic asked.
Irina shook her head gently. “I’ve used the Holy Light to eradicate the evil aura, but there are very few light magic casters and I can’t treat every single injured person. We’ve got to think of a solution.”
Everyone frowned. The inability to treat the injured would be an extremely huge damper to the troops’ morale. They had to find a solution as soon as possible.
“Perhaps, we could try dissolving the cinnabar in water or glutinous rice water to treat the injuries. Since they have an amazing effect on the ancient corpses, perhaps they could counteract the evil aura,” Mag said.
All their eyes lit up. This was quite a good idea.
There would be cinnabar and glutinous rice sent to the front constantly later. It would be great if these two items are really effective.
“I’m going to take a look at Elizabeth.” Babla got up and nodded to Mag and Irina as a greeting before leaving.
Mag closed the meeting room’s door and sat down on a chair. He said to Louis and Douglas, “The frontline fortifications’ constructions need your help urgently.”
“You want us to take part in construction?” Louis frowned. “Isn’t that the job of the dwarf craftsmen?”
Douglas was also rather taken aback.
It seemed like Dominic hadn’t told the two of them the situation at the frontline. Mag said, “The dwarf craftsmen haven’t reached the north yet. They are needed more in the forging of weapons. There are hundreds of holes in the north side of the Gus Mountains that need to be filled. It will take 10 days to fill them if we depend on the Roth Empire’s sappers, so we need you giant dragons to help out.”
After a moment of pondering, Douglas asked, “How many giant dragons do you need?”
“We need all the dragons in the Frost Dragon Tribe who can freeze water and as many Wind Dragons as we can get,” Mag replied.
“Alright. They will all arrive by tomorrow.” Douglas nodded.
Mag nodded. He liked such cooperative fellows.
Then, Dominic told everyone about the current fortifications that need to be done in the north. The Gus Mountains and the three ravines were the core of the entire battle. They would use their defensive advantage to exterminate the 1,000,000 Army of the Dead at the Gus Mountains and not let any one of them escape.
It wasn’t an intricate plan, but they simply had no other choices.
However, after listening to Dominic’s arrangements, everyone had a deeper understanding of the importance of the fortifications before the battle.
This was a plan that couldn’t fail, so they had to make sure there were no mistakes at all.
“I will get the Golden Dragons to come in earlier too. You can give them orders if necessary,” Louis said.
“The cannons stored at Chaos City need to be transported to the front. Let them bring a batch over,” Mag said to Louis.
“Alright.” Louis nodded.
“Other than living things, why don’t we use spatial storage equipment for transporting goods and supplies?” Jonas, who had been quiet, asked his very first question.
“The spatial storage equipment is limited and the goods and supplies needed for an army that number in the millions is a huge number,” Mag said. He had thought about that solution before, but even Irina’s space magic ring could only hold 30 cannons and her space magic ring was full right now.
Moreover, spatial stones were very precious. Even the magic casters couldn’t have one each.
“Oh I see.” Jonas nodded thoughtfully before taking out a palm-sized box. He opened the box to take out another box, and then opened that box to take out another one. There was still another box in that box.
“Please don’t play with Russian dolls.” Mag was tempted to remind him of that.
Jonas took out ten little boxes, pushed them all forward and said, “These are all large spatial storage equipment. Each of their spaces is as big as this hall. I can lend them to you for temporary usage.”
“They’re so big?”
Everyone looked at the row of little boxes with brightened eyes.
Spatial magic casters were as rare as the light magic casters, and the materials to make spatial storage equipment were equally precious.
It wasn’t common to see such a huge spatial storage equipment but Jonas took out ten of them at once.
“Thank you so much.” Mag cupped his hands. He knew very well what an important role these ten gigantic storage boxes would play.
Using them to deliver the cannons and ammunition could not only reduce the attrition and collision, it could also save immeasurable manpower and resources.
It was even easier and faster to travel with them.
The Norland Continent was vast. Assembling all the races at the north needed a few days and transporting impedimenta1 and supplies was an even bigger problem.
These ten boxes could be used to transport the most urgent supplies like cinnabar powder, peach wood arrows and cannons.
Douglas and Louis wanted to visit Elizabeth and Mag invited Jonas to go out with him.
Jonas was invited by Mag to come to the frontline in advance. Building the seal spell formation was their top priority and only Jonas could do it.
Jonas asked as he followed Mag out of the great hall, “The materials to build the spell formation are all in place and the spell formation masters have all arrived. Has Mr. Alex decided on the location?”
“Please follow me.” Mag whistled to summon Ah Zi. He leaped onto the griffin’s back first and then invited Jonas up.
The griffin took off and flew around the Gus Mountains once.
This was the first time Jonas saw the Gus Mountains fully and he couldn’t help lamenting. “If this mountain range wasn’t here, the Norland Continent would have no means to defend itself.”
“Where do you think we should place the spell formation in this defense line that is hundreds of kilometers long, Master?” Mag asked Jonas.
Jonas smilingly said to Mag, “The important part is not the location of the spell formation, but how to lure Cthulhu into the seal. I think you already know where to set up the spell formation.”
Mag pointed at the ravine at the left and said, “I intend to set up the spell formation there.”
“Then, how do you intend to lure it into the spell formation?”
“On the day of the battle, I will be guarding over it. I bet Cthulhu won’t think that I will be guarding over the spell formation,” Mag answered with a smile.
