Chapter 320 - The Most Important Arrangement
Chapter 320: The Most Important Arrangement
The two sun disks were dismantled by the civilians on the rock-carved chassis.
The ruins of the temple with a glorious history suddenly became a little dim. However, as the golden light shone on the rock layer above, the light in the entire temple ruins was dim, but it was still barely visible.
Moreover, the civilians and soldiers held torches high every few people, lighting up the surrounding environment.
Of course, there was nothing unusual in the ruins.
“No problem.”
The mages nodded and felt relieved.
Looking at the intact buildings around them, they reported to Kant with joy, “My Lord, the golden light not only charged the ancient passage, but also the temple ruins.”
“It’s good that there’s no problem.”, Kant nodded. His face was calm, but his heart was relaxed.
There was nothing he could do.
This was indeed worthy of Kant’s caution.
He knew the consequences of rashly removing the sun disk from these historical buildings.
Just like the temple ruins on the peak of the mountain, although most of it had collapsed, the faint divine power released by the sun disk had been preserved for thousands of years, and the overall structure was still intact.
However, after he got someone to remove the sun disk from the arms of the stone statue, everything was gone.
The originally solid stone seemed to have experienced the brilliance of ten thousand years in an instant.
It turned into ashes in a blink of an eye!
It really turned into dust. Even a gentle breeze could blow it away. In the blink of an eye, it dissipated on the entire mountain range and turned into soil again, returning to the earth. It could not be seen that it was part of the glorious temple.
The main reason why Kant agreed to dismantle the two sun disks was because the mages had given a safe conclusion. After confirming that the ruins of the temple had been charged by the golden light and had a special structure, even if the sun disks were dismantled, there would not be a large-scale destruction.
After coming to this conclusion, they arranged for the demolition with fear.
In reality.
Kant was currently standing at the stone door thousands of meters away from the stone platform.
Behind him was the cave corridor. He could quickly evacuate to the outside world at any time. Even if these ancient ruins were all turned into ashes, it wouldn’t have much of an impact. After all, this mountain was incomparably huge.
Even if the interior collapsed, it would still be able to hold on for a short period of time. It was enough for Kant and the others to evacuate!
The main reason was Kant’s evacuation.
He was the supreme lord, the ruler of everything.
Naturally, he could not die here vainly.
After the system’s strengthening, Kant, who had mastered two extraordinary powers, had his physical fitness greatly improved. Although he had not completely reached the terrifying stage, it would not be a problem for him to run at top speed in a cave corridor that was just over a thousand meters away.
If he ran at full speed, he would be able to rush out of the cave in a minute!
However, he did not have the chance to use it.
It was safe here.
The civilians worked together and carefully stepped on the wooden ladder. They walked past the top of the surging underground river and finally arrived at the stone square that had yet to collapse. They all heaved a sigh of relief when they stepped on the hard and solid ground.
Even the Lion Knights, who were anxiously waiting by the side, also heaved a sigh of relief.
If something unexpected happened…
They were the last line of defense. With their strong physiques, they were able to catch the sun disk that had fallen into the underground river. If they could not catch it and fell into the turbulent underground river, they would not have a good way to salvage it for the time being.
Unless the underground river washed the sun disk into the river beside the ancient passage.
The water flow in the river was not considered fast.
This was all a preparatory plan.
It was naturally the best way to not use it now.
The mages behind Kant moved forward and looked at the two sun disks that had been transported over with a hint of eagerness in their eyes. For them, although researching war-related spells was their main job, researching other spells was also considered an interest. Moreover, the magic system of this world was obviously different from that of the Enfath Empire.
In the opinion of the mages, they had even concluded that the magic system of this world was different from that of the world of “Wind of War”. Perhaps they could borrow the magic of this world and develop new spells!
This was not impossible.
The world of “Wind of War” was a completely chaotic world of war.
All races competed for hegemony.
Although the human race occupied the dominant position, they were still one of the contenders for hegemony. In fact, they were not invincible.
If it was purely based on the individual humans, their combat power was still at a relatively weak level. They were completely dependent on the quality of their troops, their numbers were higher, and they had the protection of high-level combat power. That was how they were able to barely maintain their position in the world of “Wind of War”.
For example, the Enfath Empire relied on the race of the storm giants, the religious inquisition that spread throughout the human race, and the help of the war mages who specialized in destructive spells. That was how they were able to occupy the western side of the continent.
In particular, the war mages were the main force in the army that could deal lethal damage to the enemy.
Destructive spells were also studied by the war mages of past generations.
Whether it was the Magic Ball Spell, Fireball Spell, Sharp Golden Blade, or the Summoning of Lightning, Deadly Frost, Nature Summoning, and Group Acceleration, they were all prepared for war.
The Magic Ball Spell was similar to a sledgehammer and could destroy shields.
It also had a certain attacking effect on giant creatures with tenacious lives such as trolls, tree spirits, and giant dragons.
The Fireball Spell was even simpler. It was the killing power of an ordinary troop class, so the explosion of the fireball was naturally more powerful!
The Sharp Golden Blade was an enchantment spell that increased the sharpness of the weapon’s status. This was to increase the lethality of the ordinary soldiers and obtain more battle results in the intense battlefield.
As for why they did not study defensive spells, it was also simple. After all, defensive spells wasted more magic power, and the effect produced was no different from having a shield. If a giant dragon-level creature stepped on them, they would still not be able to withstand it, and they would still die.
It was better to focus on destructive spells and attack-enhancing status spells.
In war, life was also at stake!
Troops were expendable items. Even if they were used up, they could finish off the enemy. In the eyes of the politicians and generals, their mission was complete!
As for the high-level spells, the principle was the same.
To fight the enemy was the most important reason for developing better spells!
“If that’s the case.”
Kant muttered.
Looking at the two corpses that were also carried out by the civilians, who might still have special powers, he did not look down for a moment. He then turned to the mages and arranged, “I don’t mind you guys studying those two corpses.”
“Understood. We really need those two corpses that have elemental physiques!”
The mages immediately bowed in gratitude.
This was an opportunity.
As a traditional human power, the Enfath Empire still prohibited corpse research on the surface. Even if they secretly supported some mages to study corpses and undead, they were still a minority.
One had to know that only the evil undead would study corpses. Only vampires and necromancers would control the souls of the dead, manipulate corpses, and blaspheme the honor that once belonged to the living. This was a taboo research!
They were the ones who were dealt with by the extremely cruel religious inquisition.
Not to mention the undead and demons.
Even those who came into contact with evil energy could be captured by the priest of the religious inquisition and burned to death on the stake. They did not care whether they were old people or children, or what their past was like.
Evil energy was an evil type of negative energy. It represented evil itself!
But sometimes, evil still represented strength.
Kant did not resist these mages studying evil spells.
In fact, the mages who had been instilled by the system as Kant’s loyal followers would not betray him. Instead, they would be of greater help to Kant after obtaining stronger power!
This was a modification from the rules, stronger than the restriction on the soul alone!
“Let’s leave.”
Kant made the arrangements.
The place had been dealt with, including the wooden ladder on the stone platform.
The civilians carried two sun disks and two corpses, surrounded by soldiers holding torches, and left the ruins of the temple, returning to the town along the cave corridor.
The sun was setting.
In a short time, the sunlight that was already setting in the west had turned into the glow of the evening, hitting the mountains.
It was already evening, and the temperature dropped with the setting of the sun.
“Lord Kant.”
James walked over quickly and bowed. “I have prepared a banquet and opened a barrel of malt wine. If you don’t mind, please stay here and have a good rest tonight.”
“Yes.”, Kant nodded. “I won’t be leaving in the next few days.”
“That’s great!”, James looked happy.
The research needed time.
However, Kant was planning to stay here for a while.
The ancient passage attracted his attention. After all, this passage could lead to the Resniston River. If it was well developed, it could even speed up his development, especially since he had already set up spy.
Borg, the heir of the bankrupt merchant family in the East County, needed to be put in use.
“Alright.”
Kant made a decision in his heart.
Manid and Joslin were in charge of guarding the Oasis Lookout. Although they were not military generals, it was not a big problem for them to guard the place and ensure the safety of the “Drondheim” Castle.
Moreover, the royal knights, knights, and heavy cavalry should have already returned.
Those captives alone would not be able to cause trouble.
The only thing Kant was worried about was the undead in the Nahrin Desert.
The spread of the Sky Veil of Death was still very fast. Five months was enough for it to spread to the vicinity of “Drondheim” Castle, and six months was enough for it to completely cover Kant’s Oasis Lookout.
Therefore, he did not have much time.
It was just enough for these mages to temporarily study the sun disk and the two corpses.
As for Kant, he would first use the time he had temporarily to study how to pass through the ancient passage to obtain more opportunities for development. He would ensure that the exposed path that led to the Dukedom of Leo was completely in his hands, he would not let the other to seize it!
The ancient passage could travel by water, but it could also travel by land. It could also travel by boat and carriage. By connecting the Resniston River, which was the most important shipping river in the Dukedom of Leo, it was equivalent to connecting to a golden waterway!
It also meant that he could obtain piles of golden eagles!
