Augustine walked out of the dense forest. He took a few deep breaths. The deep conversation just now made him very uncomfortable. He didn't like to face dark wizards like Markurid. It would be depressing. a feeling of.
Augustine squinted his eyes and thought slightly: "This old guy never said before that he actually needs to sacrifice his life in order to activate the magic circle that poses a fatal threat to the dragon."
"Damn Macurid, do you want the soldiers under my command to die?" Augustine thought of this, and he shook his head gloomily.
Although he is not a citizen of the Iron Principality, these people are soldiers under his command. If they follow him now, he will never let their lives be in vain.
Even if it is because of slaying the dragon, he cannot do this kind of thing of killing the chicken to obtain the egg.
In particular, the purpose of occupying the City of Dawn and the Principality of Black Rock was more important, and preserving his troops was even more important. He had to prioritize clearly. He could kill the dragon later, but he could attack the Principality of Black Rock, which was in chaos. It was an opportunity that must not be missed again. .
"Then I can only lure out some dragon clans and use them as sacrifices!" Augustine raised his eyebrows. This is all he can do for the time being. He can't think of many solutions now.
After all, Macurid said that he placed a sound-isolating magic circle at the entrance of the Dragon Cave.
As long as the quiet mountains start to shake, even if all the fire dragon's clan is killed, the pig will not wake up. This also shows that Makurid means the same thing, but some soldiers will definitely be lost by then.
Augustine climbed to the top of the tree and looked at the snow-capped mountains of the East China Sea not far away. The corners of his mouth raised slightly: "There is still one day left."
… … …
William, with his elite 2,000 troops, finally caught up with the Iron Principality's wake. The location where they stayed at this time was the place where Augustine took a rest last night.
Some flowers and plants on the ground were bent and even uprooted by hands. There were many scratches on the surrounding trees. It is estimated that some soldiers were bored and even carved some unsightly portraits on the tree trunks...
Of course, this situation is very common and is not left intentionally by anyone.
William followed him all the way, and there were many traces left at almost every place where he paused and rested.
Augustine led two legions. It was impossible for everyone to have a very high military quality, not to mention that with so many people, it would be difficult not to leave traces of the past in the forest.
Even Albert, a muscular tyrant, can throw out a fighting spirit move when he has no time...
The chopped trees are even more obvious.
certainly.
The key is that there are no pursuers behind William, and he doesn't have to be so strict, and everyone knows it.
"Augustin doesn't seem to be on guard against me. Is he so confident?" William scratched his head, he didn't understand.
Why didn't Augustine leave even a single scout? Or maybe he left something behind that he didn't discover
According to the memory of his previous life, Augustine not only had extraordinary combat prowess, but after the Iron Principality was destroyed by the dark invasion, the Free Alliance that he fully developed also showed excellent ingenuity.
But William forgot...
Both people and NPCs need to grow!
Augustine was now merely a proud young man.
He and Goethe Narcisse had known each other since childhood, and they founded the Freedom Alliance together. It was not a smooth journey, but with their joint efforts, they took control of the Iron Principality in just a few years. Why wasn't Augustine proud
Besides, Augustine had many epic masters under his command, and he also had more troops than William.
What is he afraid of
Plus an insider like Markurid.
Why would Augustine be afraid
He accomplished such a great deed and took control of a principality at the age of only 28. Why was he not confident
To know.
Only complete failure can make a person grow or fall. Today's Augustine has not suffered a fatal setback, and he is far from the city and resourcefulness of his previous life.
certainly.
The key point is that Augustine has never fought against the Elf Legion.
It can even be said that many human countries on the Legend Continent have long forgotten the true combat power of the Elf Legion.
In the second era, elves ruled the continent of the gods, but the third era belonged to humans!
Humanity belongs to today's victors, and history will certainly be written by them.
However, many historians have greatly belittled the combat power of elves, which has led many human countries to underestimate the elves.
In the end, some principalities, grand duchies, and even a few kingdoms, because they could not contact the elves, could only understand the elves through history books. They only knew the mystery of the elves, but did not know their power...
certainly.
Similar to some powerful kingdoms and empires, they will definitely face history correctly, and even deeply remember the strength of elves, understand the strengths of threats, attack the weaknesses of threats, and strive to prevent them from ever getting out of the forest.
After a short rest with 2,000 elite men, William continued to track Augustine's troops with caution.
He believed that as long as he did not make aggressive moves, everything would not be lost.
If the dragon battle is won.
Then he will usher in the biggest fruits in version 1.0, laying a solid foundation for his later rise.
… … …
Time flies.
Lautner led 4,500 people in 13 large ships and sailed on the edge of the coastline. The speed was obviously faster. They were already reaching the snow-capped mountains of the East China Sea.
Their trip was not secretive, because these ships did not dare to go deep into the sea. After all, the large ships built today can only be used as large fishing boats and are far from the level of warships.
However, an epic battleship is already halfway under construction, and the overall structure is almost completed.
The only difference now is...
keel!
Only at this moment did Lautner truly understand why William did not use some good materials to serve as the keel. If this was the case, then the epic battleship should have been completed long ago.
"That's because... his real purpose is to slay the dragon!" Lautner couldn't help clenching his fists, the blood in his heart burning.
Slay the dragon!
This is the dream of every man in the legendary continent!
The title of dragon-slaying warrior is an honor that will accompany him throughout his life.
It was almost difficult for him to imagine when William had such a plan.
"Half a year ago, he was looking for a shipbuilder everywhere, but after finding the master shipbuilder of the Moonlight Elf, the shipyard now only builds some large fishing boats...
As for the hull of the battleship, it has been being built, but the materials used are simply unimaginably expensive! "
As William's executive officer, Lautner knew almost everything William knew.
In Dawn City half a year ago, there were nearly 200,000 gold coins in the warehouse.
But William spent nearly 80,000 gold coins on that epic battleship!
Even other existing materials, such as mithril, copper essence, and iron essence, were completely thrown into the battleship as junk, plus valuable black iron wood...
According to William's words, the quality is not enough
Come up with the quantity!
William will forcefully build this battleship into an epic battleship, reaching the upper limit of what a master-level shipbuilder can build.
One sentence.
This epic battleship is more expensive than half of the City of Dawn.
"If you add a real dragon bone that belongs to the dragon..." Lautner was in a daze.
He looked at the snow-capped mountains of the East China Sea that were about to dock, and murmured: "If it can really do this, that warship will be invincible in this sea area..."
