Chapter 1011: ,35th, pre-war preparations
Shortly after Joshua arrived, the soldiers of the frost nation were cleaning up the battlefield.
“Children of the forest.”
Elder Kuitoan was the manager of the portal this time. When he sensed Joshua’s visit, he immediately came forward to welcome him.
“Are you… eating roasted crab?”
The moment Joshua came to the island, he smelled a strange aroma of aquatic products. It was the smell of roasted crab.
On the other side of the island, there was a huge pile of crab pincers that were as tall as three people.
“That’s the spoils of war that Lord Ridley caught. It was originally a creature that was hosted by the gray fog. We’ve already advised Lord Ridley not to treat it as food. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be of any use.”
Elder Quitoan brought Joshua to the side of the crab pincers. Just by standing there, Joshua felt as if he was looking up at a tall tower.
Such a large crab pincer… the meat inside should be enough for Joshua to eat for an entire day, right?
Joshua saw the figure of the black dragon Duke under the crab pincers. However, it was in the form of a dragon. Its size was only as tall as a whole crab pincer, but the black dragon’s teeth were so good that it could eat meat and shells together.
“So I didn’t even eat breakfast…”
Looking at the black dragon’s good appetite, Joshua rubbed his stomach and realized that he was also a little hungry.
“Here!”
As soon as Joshua finished speaking, Al appeared out of nowhere. He held a bowl of crab shell in his hand, which was filled with white, tender crab meat.
This piece of crab meat was at least as thick as Joshua’s entire arm. Joshua had never seen such a large piece of crab meat in his previous life.
“UH… Thank you. Speaking of which, aren’t these creatures affected by the gray fog?”
Joshua took the ‘gift of the gray fog’that Al handed over. Then, he looked at the piece of crab meat in his hand up and down. He found that there did not seem to be any contamination in it.
“These are sea king crabs that live in the deep sea. They came to the surface after being affected by the gray fog.”
A voice that sounded a little strange to Joshua came from behind him. When he turned around, he found that it was the young lady hymina from the sea tribe.
Hymina was still sitting in the wheelchair. The person behind her who helped her push the wheelchair seemed to be a short-tentacle magic wand?
In addition to these two acquaintances, Hymina was accompanied by a few sea tribe members. Judging from their attire… they should have been nobles in the past in the country near the sea.
However, the country near the sea was now in name only. The seafolk on the back of Besimonte all planned to return to their hometown to seek a new life.
Unfortunately, their hometown was also completely ruled by the gray fog.
“Everyone is here? Just bring a table over… Let’s talk about the next plan of attack.”
Jose took a bite of the crab pincer meat that al handed over. The taste was absolutely not rotten or spoiled. Because there was no seasoning added, it only had a soft and sweet taste in his mouth.
This was the most primitive taste of crabs!
“Shall we talk here?”Hymina seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma because the black dragon that was sitting on the ground behind Joshua, holding a large piece of crab pincer and nibbling on it was too intimidating.
After all, the Black Dragon had suddenly appeared and used its dragon breath to turn all the giant creatures on the surface of the sea into food on the dining table.
“It… doesn’t eat humans, probably.”
Joshua and the Black Dragon Duke were not familiar with each other. Their cognition was still stuck on the young body that was constantly following behind them to ask for the sequel of cat and mouse.
“It’s okay if you don’t listen. This plan only needs to be known by Berchmont.”
Joshua took out a map that Hiri had drawn by hand. This map was found by Joshua using the Orange Cat… it was a detailed map of another continent.
Josh put the map on a long table that elder Kuitoan had brought over.
Although the short-tentacle wand was still a little afraid of the black dragon, after Hemina gently pinched the short-tentacle Wand’s hand, he had to push Hemina’s wheelchair to the side of the Round Table.
“This map is the complete picture of Alesirota. In theory… we are now at this location.”Josh drew a circle less than ten nautical miles away from the continent plate. “If we continue to sail in this direction, we will be able to reach the first city of Alesirota.”
“Blackbay City.”Hymina read out the name of the city.
“How is it? With the soldiers on the back of beimonte, is it possible to break through the gray fog’s defense line and reach the coastline in one go?”
When Joshua asked this question, a snowy owl flew to the map in front of Joshua.
“I’m afraid it’s very difficult to do so.”
When shier walked towards Joshua, she was still wiping the blood on her long sword with a handkerchief.
After the black dragon stopped the attack of the giant sea creatures, shier directly joined the battlefield and began to clean up the MURLOCS.
“The closer we get to the sea area covered by the gray fog, the more monsters there are and the stronger they will become. Without the help of the black dragon, it might be very troublesome.”
As a first-hand witness of the battlefield, shier directly told Joshua the danger of breaking into the area covered by the gray fog.
The sound of the alarm bell suddenly rang across the entire island. Shearer, who was about to withdraw her longsword, stopped in her tracks. The surprised expression on her face when she saw Joshua also gradually turned into a solemn expression on the battlefield.
“Those monsters are coming again…”Shearer said.
This was the highest point of the entire island. Joshua could see a large number of murlocs surging out from the edge of the island below. The soldiers of the Frost Nation had already set up a defensive line.
“Tell Besimonte to retreat.”Joshua looked at the gray fog that pervaded the sea level in the distance. The gray fog seemed to be restrained by some kind of barrier and could not continue to spread.
This should be related to the barrier set up by the Guardians, but a large number of monsters that were affected by the gray fog had begun to appear near this sea area.
“Have you thought of a way to attack?”
Shier looked at the battle situation below. The soldiers and mages of the Kingdom of Frost could still barely resist the attack of the murlocs. This was because they were not within the range of the gray fog… if they went deeper into the sea area that was covered by the gray fog.., god knew what kind of sea monsters they would encounter again.
“Wait for a month or a month and a half.”Jose pointed at Blackbay City on the map and said, “I think this city… is the birthplace of the gray fog along this coastline. I need some time to ‘destroy’This city.”
“Destroy? Let the three giant dragons go over?”
This was the only method of attack that shier could think of. The unrivaled power of the black dragons had been demonstrated just now. If shier remembered correctly, Jose knew the other two giant dragons.
“There’s no need… I’ve already poisoned the food of the gray fog. It Won’t be long before the poison kills me,”said Jose.
