711.A gloomy afternoon in Genoa (page 1/2)
While Murphy left the Land of Creation and returned to Shadow Valley with a strange look of exhaustion, a battle report about the Black Flame Pass was finally sent to the Transancian embassy on the Genoa Peninsula..
With the communication efficiency of this world, such an important battle report should not have been delayed for so long..
But the problem is that before the Black Flame Pass fell, Lord Heather had already noticed that the communication at the Brass Fortress was completely blocked. Whether it was calculation orbs, psychic messages, or even the vampires using Blood crystals that are in contact with each other cannot take effect..
Murphy said that it was the power of subspace at work, which forced the delivery of all battle reports back to the most primitive mode of transportation..
They need to use the Thieves Guild's channels to transmit information, and in order to prevent Dusk from interfering with it, they have to ask Madam Shani, who is currently in the Crimean Fortress, to use her Thorn Clan intelligence network to transmit the battle report..
This coming and going is too much of a waste of time..
The time that the battle report was sent to the Genoa Peninsula was already in the afternoon two days after the battle at Black Flame Pass. Such a speed of delivery of the battle report in a war involving psychic factors would have led to a military court.！
But the current situation is so bad that both the sender and the recipient have nothing to say..
After receiving the information personally delivered by a descendant of Grand Duke Shani, Professor Malcolm did not dare to waste any time and immediately brought it into the embassy and placed it on a balcony high in the building. Found Lord Paying who was painting here and handed it to him.
The Thousand-Year Lord of Vampires is quite cool.
Even though the situation had become so bad now, it still did not disturb his artistic mood. When Professor Malcolm handed the battle report to the Lord, he also took the time to take a look at the works that the Lord had been working on these days..
It was an oil painting made from a height overlooking the entire Port Chardeau. It must be said that the artistic level of the Lord is really very high, which made Professor Malcolm, who is also a "cultural man", take a look. I really like this unfinished painting..
The Lord not only used extremely realistic techniques to depict the halfling city in his eyes, but also used some surreal techniques to create a "tangible" haze that always shrouded the buildings in Port Chardeau. ” attitude.
If you look carefully, the haze on the picture looks like something evil is stretching its claws into this noisy city..
This detail gives this very beautiful landscape painting a certain "religious meaning" that is difficult to explain but definitely exists..
But the Lord does not paint because he is really free.
In fact, after dealing with the incident at the Witch Cafe, Lord Paying should leave here and go back to the Blood Alliance clan's headquarters through the Brass Fortress..
It's not that he doesn't want to leave, he's trapped.
To be precise, the road through the Gorgon Pass via the Brass Fortress is no longer possible..
Just as Lord Heather predicted, many people in Port Chardeau have discovered the strange situation of the Brass Fortress in the past few days. Any messages leading there cannot be reached. There seems to be some kind of The power shields that area..
This is no small matter！
The Brass Fortress was a military fortress that resisted the main force of the Jackal army during several black disasters. What gathered there was by no means the army of the Brass Dwarves, but also the elves’ ranger legions and part of the Songhai people’s forerunners..
In fact, it is not correct for Murphy and Tris to ridicule the Kingdom of Plantagenet and the Kingdom of Nordtof for their inaction. It is not that the two kings did not send troops to support the Black Disaster, but the direction of their support was not the Black Flame Pass..
They obviously made their judgment based on past experience.
Currently, the Brass Fortress also houses the Plantagenet Kingdom’s elite Antani Chasseur Brigade, as well as the two vanguard brigades of the Nordtov Kingdom’s Southern Army..
It can be said that it is the area with the largest number of troops stationed on the mainland at present, and the jackals of the three clans are indeed attacking various strategic locations in the Gorgon Pass near the Brass Fortress, but they have not yet launched an attack on the main body of the Brass Fortress. attack.
Not only is Lord Paying currently waiting for news in Port Chardo, but the Elf Kingdom of Castile has also sent a high-status Moon Priest to sit here. She represents King Querion's views on the battlefield situation. focus on.
After all, the commander in charge of the Elf Ranger Legion at this time is King Querion's only sister..
The situation in the Brass Fortress has touched the hearts of many people, but even a figure like Lord Paying cannot figure out what is going wrong at the Brass Fortress now..
“devil's smoke”
While the Lord was reading the battle report, Professor Malcolm looked in the direction of Gorgon Pass and cursed in a low voice.：
“That damn smoke blocked the scouts sent by the Steam Lords. I heard that even the Songhai people's navigation scarabs can't pass through it, and they will get lost if they go in. It's really a worrying situation. Maybe it's something from the Gnolls. sorcery？”
“Gnolls can't do this, Professor..”
Lord Paying was very anxious, but he remained calm on the surface..
He read the battle report, frowned and explained casually：
“That should be some kind of power variant of the warp. That strange mist reminds me of seeing something similar during a trip to the Sea of Mists..
Those wave fish people will spread such a fog before plundering a certain ship, cutting off all detection perceptions and completely disrupting the spatial system. Once they break in, it will be like entering a maze..
But this time the smoke covering the entire Gorgon Pass is obviously weird. I have invited the Stormrivers from the Kingdom of Atlan in the Great Reef Province to come and help. They are very experienced in dealing with this kind of weird power..
Damn it！”
The Lord saw the second page of the battle report. After seeing the battle report, it said that Lord Heather had unlocked the seal of the Lord of Darkness to block the gnoll's plague weapon, and was finally banished to the depths of the star realm. What a surprise to the Lord. He has broad knowledge, and for the first time he broke his guard and scolded him..
He is really not in the mood to draw now..
As the person who helped Heather seal the power of the Lord of Darkness, no one understands better than Lord Paying the terrible consequences that the evil god will have once he is released..
But Heather knew this but still unblocked it, which shows how critical the situation at Black Flame Pass was at that time..
Even at the end of the battle report, Mrs. Shani reported to the Lord in a positive tone that hundreds of thousands of Splitclaw Clan's troops had been torn apart and executed by the Star Boundary, but this still could not make the Millennium Lord feel even a trace of the joy of revenge..
Heather is his heir.
Although the relationship was only formed because of an accident more than a hundred years ago, the Lord is indeed an emotional person. After learning that his heir met such a tragic ending, the anger in his heart was already somewhat uncontrollable. Lived.
“I must go to Transia! I have to see the situation there with my own eyes. Our strategy has been misjudged. Compared to the Brass Fortress, the scale of the war after Transia will definitely be more bloody and crazy..
Perhaps, that is the center of gravity of this black disaster.！”
The Lord handed the battle report to Professor Malcolm. The latter took it in his hand and read the beginning and looked shocked.，
The entire position was destroyed, the gnoll vanguard was destroyed, the chief of the Splitclaw clan was crowned, and the second lord of the Blood Alliance disappeared. Just one of these things alone is enough to shock the continent. It is hard to imagine that they happened in the same place at the same time..
“Professor, I entrust you to immediately make three copies of this battle report and send them to the Steam Lords Council, Luna Priest Ms. Sylve Galanod, and the Songhai Empire Embassy. They must understand the end of the war at Black Flame Pass. And the impact that the subsequent war situation in Transia will have on the Black Disaster.”
Lord Paying is an activist.
After deciding to go to Transia in person, it was time to set off immediately.
