CHAPTER 1356: CHAPTER 718 PLANNING AIR COMBAT UNIT_3

Gaven now does everything, with intelligence leading the way.

He would never recklessly organize an adventure team to escort Giharin deep into the Troll Mountains’ earth veins to repair the Heart of the Mountains.

Doing so would be foolish and inefficient.

Sending people familiar with the Dark Domain environment, passing through long dark tunnels, accurately locating the earth veins, using the Teleportation Spell to teleport down, repairing the Heart of the Mountains and then running away is the most correct tactic.

As for the choice of personnel, no one is more suitable for this task than Dwarves Elves. The first members of Shadow Wing were Dwarves Elves. Knowing how to repair the Heart of the Mountains, Gaven had Daphne draw five Transcendent Shadow Wing Dwarves Elves to form an elite squad and head to the Giant Run Mountain Range to find the entrance to the Dark Domain.

Now it’s just making necessary planning and tactical adjustments due to changes in underground value.

"The Lord is still thoughtful; let’s wait for the intelligence feedback to discuss the detailed battle plan," Shanoba stopped entangling in this topic. "We need a batch of catapults and ballista carts as supplementary defense measures for Colossus City."

"That’s simple, I’ll have Mesnoel’s side custom-made and use Shadow Drag to transport to Efanso’s side; you just need to give me a number." Gaven had harvested quite a lot of Dark Wood in Mesnoel, which could last for a while.

"One thousand catapults and two thousand ballista carts." Shanoba opened the lion’s mouth.

Gaven, who had been confidently guaranteeing just now, was choked for a moment and stared at her, asking, "What are you going to do with so much city defense equipment? Are there forces nearby that threaten you?"

"There are!" Shanoba said solemnly, "There is a lair of an Ancient Red Dragon in the Troll Mountains; once he wakes from Dragon Sleep, he definitely won’t spare Colossus City."

"..."

Gaven didn’t know how to respond to Shanoba for a moment, and after a while, he said helplessly, "Although this city defense equipment can pose a certain degree of threat to an Ancient Red Dragon, the key is still on the operators. Even if you have a lot of quantity, if your operators kneel at sight, how are you going to fight him?

When Flying Flame Bell Gos actually wakes up one day, don’t think about resistance; prepare heavy gifts immediately and offer tribute to him—this would be the wisest.

First, keep down Colossus City, and then we can plot further; it’s not dishonorable to offer tribute to an infamous Ancient Red Dragon."

"..." Shanoba was stunned for a moment and hurriedly apologized, "I was mistaken; okay then, let’s cut the amount in half—five hundred catapults, one thousand large ballista carts."

"Still too many, one hundred catapults and two hundred large ballista carts are sufficient to intimidate most enemies, as long as you can ensure no internal problems within yourselves, and prevent being taken down by a single enemy charge, the elite heavy cavalry of Blood Gorge City will instantly appear behind the enemy.

Blood Gorge City and Colossus City are only 220 kilometers apart, and the Space Compression teleportation distance of the Super Giant Road Idol is 256 kilometers.

When I have enough Road Force, upgrading your Colossus City’s Road Idol to a Super Giant will further increase the safety factor of both cities." After calculating, Gaven was also surprised.

Just speaking of 256 kilometers didn’t feel much, but when paired with the distances along the Road of Destiny segments, it was quite astounding.

"It truly is this way; this Super Giant Road Idol and the giant ones are completely different things. If only all the Road Idols could be replaced with Super Giant ones, or better yet, pave the entire Conqueror Path." Shanoba was also surprised; she hadn’t calculated this detail before.

"The consumed Road Force isn’t on the same level; although there’s only a four-fold difference, accumulating another Super Giant likely won’t happen in a short time. The recent Road Force is all previously accumulated." Gaven also wanted to do so, but this matter likely wouldn’t be easy.

"I know, I was just sighing. Since that’s the case, let’s go with what the Lord said; I don’t have any issues on my side for now." Knowing that a strong reinforcement could appear under her city at any time, Shanoba was no longer so persistent about city defense weapons.

Actually, she knew that having many city defense weapons in Colossus City served more as intimidation than actual use.

"Lord Carl, tell me your vision for the City of Faith, how many people do you need to keep here? How do you intend to manage this place in the future?" Gaven focused on the tortured middle-aged man.

Limbseverer Carl’s face was incredibly aged, with more white than black hair, wrinkles deep enough to hold worms, dark complexion, wearing a Ghost Eye Blindfold. The blinding of ten years had severely damaged his optic nerves; even though cured with Regeneration Technique, he remained sensitive to light exposure.

This Ghost Eye Blindfold that can see Ghost Shadows played a protective role.

His hair and wrinkles were similar; Regeneration Technique only healed parts of the body injured by trauma; it was powerless against naturally left traces; even Spells aren’t almighty; time is its weakest point.

This appearance is absolutely unrelated to his actual age; he was just over forty, in his prime.

"Before that, I have a small request."

"What request?"

"I request to transform my shadow into Shadow."

"Are you sure?"

"I’m sure."

"Alright, I agree." Their dialogue was concise.

Gaven was smart, and upon hearing, understood the situation.

He was merely taking this as a pledge of loyalty, to gain trust so as to more seamlessly integrate into the Conqueror Army’s system, obtaining more trust and support from him.

As for the experience lost during this process, for someone like Carl, who is at Sub-Legendary Level, how could Gaven only use Revival Spell on him? He would definitely use the Complete Resurrection Spell that does not harm the essence of the soul.
