Chapter 1410: Chapter 1410: Start

The Regent frowned, “Is it a bit too hasty to deal with the issues of the Ghost Land now?”

Of course, they desired to address the affairs of the Ghost Land, but the problem was that the kingdom was too embarrassed at the moment, having not yet fully stabilized internally. Where was there any mind to resolve other matters?

Li Yao shook his head and said, “I think that dealing with the Ghost Land is not too early but, in fact, a bit late.”

Li Yao produced a map of the Ghost Land and continued, “Ladies and gentlemen, please look. This is Daisom, which is now the Undead Legion’s base in our kingdom. Here, Tower of the Windwalker, according to my understanding, is occupied by an Undead Force from a Sub-dimension, and they have obviously colluded with the Undead. This Undead Force not only blockades our kingdom but also interrupts the connection between Undercity and here.”

The Countess nodded, “You’re right, the destruction of this route is the same as cutting off our contact with Undercity.”

“And Daisom itself is the one and only roadblock on the route to the Land of Plague. If we do not resolve this, our land route will also be blocked. Under the sea and land blockade, the Dark Camp would want to help us but there’s no way to start, surely not making half a round around the continent from the other side of the coast, right? The other side of the coastline is the territory of the northern sea Pirates, and without spare effort to resolve the Pirates, the route is equally insecure.”

“Our kingdom suffered a setback last time because we were complacent and secluded. At the critical moment of life and death, without the support of allies, we ended up in the current state. Now, under the blockade, how is our situation any different from before? As far as I know, Daisom has also constructed a huge Death Teleportation Array which could transfer the Undead of the Land of Plague over here.”

“The more critical issue is that to the west lies Zul’Aman, the capital of the Amani Empire. These Trolls had previously participated in the great Orc wars and although defeated, their main force remained unscathed. Now is the best opportunity for them to reclaim their land. If we don’t take action, the Trolls will seize the opportunity too. Three unstable factors and forces erupting simultaneously will plunge us into a very dangerous predicament.”

Several people were persuaded by Li Yao’s speech, mainly because Li Yao’s analysis was cogent and indeed addressed the problem. Previously, they lacked the power to resolve it and had thus avoided this issue.

“If it is so critical, does your newly established Legion have the strength to take over these places? It seems to me it might be better for the new Legion to remain stationed on the fertile north shore, where you excel in establishing ports and fleets. It would be better for the new Legion to become the navy of the kingdom,” the Ranger King suggested.

“The Ghost Land is rampant with dark energy and unsuitable for a normal Legion. However, the new Legion is different, having regained their senses due to Roth’s power, already converted to a darker constitution, perfectly suited to this environment. Moreover, rather than hastily organizing a navy, the threat of Zul’Aman’s Trolls is even greater. Only a Legion immune to the attack of dark energy and stationed to replace the Rangers of the Windrunner Family can prevent a Zul’Aman counterattack. Once we solve our internal and external troubles, we can manage to resolve the Trolls of Zul’Aman altogether.”

After exchanging glances and discussing it for a while, the Regent finally said, “Previously, we thought that General Prairie Fire was just a brave general, but we didn’t expect such insight and strategy, and we had underestimated the General before. The General is indeed a talented leader. We’ve just discussed and agree with your view, so we have decided to appoint you as the Commander of the new Legion and put you in charge of organizing everything for the new Legion.”

The Great Magician also said, “Those Witherbarks include many former Mages, I can’t match your Magician Legion. We also can’t spare more qualified Mages, and it’s not easy to form a Legion. The kingdom isn’t short on technology or funds, but just those aren’t enough to build a good Legion. We can provide the funds you need, but arms and provisions will be up to you to sort out.”

Li Yao bitterly smiled, “I know the kingdom isn’t lacking wealth, but now I’m a commander without troops. The kingdom should at least assign some people to help me lay a foundation.”

The Regent smiled and said, “Naturally, although we are short-handed, each of our Legions will allocate a wave of manpower to help you gather a million wandering Witherbarks, restoring their senses, and that should be enough for your manpower. Afterward, the remaining Witherbarks will be for you to slowly search for.”

The Great Magician also added, “The conversion Array at our academy can be made bigger, you need not worry, General.”

The Countess after a moment of thought said, “We better be quick, those clan members…”

“I understand, it may start slower, but once the first batch of the Legion is formed, things will become simpler. I said two months, and for sure, the matter will be settled within two months,” said Li Yao with certainty.

“That would be great,” the Regent looked at the map: “So, General Prairie Fire, which location would you like to choose as the starting point?”

Li Yao immediately pointed to the map without hesitation: “Sunsail Harbor, Golden Coast.”

The group immediately felt relieved; the kingdom’s armaments were insufficient, and people might not have equipment. Without a good starting point, it would be difficult to open up the situation.

The group, being swift in action, directly summoned the troops stationed in Silvermoon City, and then marched mightily towards Sunsail Harbor.

Before this, Li Yao hadn’t much to do; the only thing was to create momentum for the newly established Legion.

Using indirect teleportation, Li Yao traveled between the main cities of the Dark Camp, of course, the first stop was to report to the Chieftain at the Dark Camp’s main base.

Li Yao received the Legion Seal, and the new Legion was named by Li Yao as Withered Sun Legion.

Then, Li Yao visited the Adventure Guilds in each main city, releasing trade procurement orders in the name of Commander of the Withered Sun Legion.

And he let Sister Li conduct specific analyses based on Starfire and Silvermoon City’s situations, marking the prices of various goods.

At the same time, Li Yao purchased a certain amount of various military equipment in main cities and likewise posted the transportation tasks at the Adventure Guild hall.

All the while hinting that the high elves would soon gather a large number of adventurers for a major campaign.

Many players were eager and preparing covertly. This was a national mission after all, and the rewards must surely be lavish beyond measure. Thinking back to the last Blood Origin Battle, even if the scale was not as massive as last time, it wouldn’t be far off.

The more pressing issue was that only the Dark Camp could participate this time, making players from other camps envy and resent bitterly.

Now, more Guilds involved in trading and escort were concerned about the trade issue. The high elves had always been cut off from trade, and players had no chances to branch out. Now, not only was trade possible, but it was also at a high price – delivering the goods would offer a huge profit.

Despite knowing the high risks, with the sea route cut off, the prospects were simply too tempting…
