The brave man opened the coffin and rose

If you haven't experienced it yourself, you can't see it with your own eyes.

Even when Bai Renchou still had memories, he would feel that there was something wrong with his eyes.

But that's actually the case.

The adventurer Qianzhongzhan, also known as Abes Grande in hiding, arrived with extraordinary wisdom and courage when the small kingdom of Womuza was mired in the quagmire of civil war.

And just half a year later, the Gyeonggi region was unified, and he was constantly expanding westward, and in the process, he dealt a heavy blow to the evil hands reaching out from beyond the border.

He had lost his memory before and was told by passers-by that there was unrest in the country and it would be very difficult to find his memory.

As a result, just a few days later, it seemed that national unification was just around the corner?

If only Master Abes had come earlier.

If he could have ruled the western part of the small kingdom of Wommza before he lost all his memories and crawled out of that pile of corpses, then he could guarantee that no witch would dare to commit such a shocking crime as massacring an entire village in the territory of such an ancient hero.

And the admiration for Lord Abes reached its peak after he completed a beautiful reverse night attack with the help of the magic radio.

In terms of wisdom, bravery, weapons and equipment, morale, and even technical level, the soldiers far surpassed Nass's enemy. If the enemy still insisted on using only the Second Division, then the National Salvation Army of the small Kingdom of Wommza would definitely win.

However, Lord Abes's battle line only reached the border and did not move any further.

And he also heard a strange point of view from Abes, "The war against Nas cannot be rushed."

How can we be slow in fighting against aggression?

Bai Renchou wanted to refute immediately.

However, after hearing the explanation, Bai Renchou was truly relieved and understood the far-sighted career of Abes Grande as an ancient hero.

Don’t think that Nas’s Second Division was beaten back by Lord Abes’ army.

But this was all the strength he could muster.

Guarding the mountains, issuing warnings to the Eastern Wilderness, and even having to deal with and maintain stability in the South, all the forces that Abes can muster are now gathered in the Breland family's territory.

Five or six thousand people, no more.

Five or six thousand people, with the support of magic arm armor, magic grenades and iron birds in the sky, repelling the enemy is indeed a great achievement with little consumption.

But it would be troublesome for such an army to continue advancing outward.

They need to occupy the newest and most advanced flat land along the way and quickly build airports so that the iron birds can land and resupply, so as to gradually extend their air path.

Only by extending the air route can we provide supplies and air support to the soldiers.

This is a complementary condition. Repairing supply lines, supply points and transportation lines while fighting is naturally much slower than sitting on an entire castle and recovering surrounding areas.

If we only consider the strength of Nas and the National Salvation Army, it seems that it is not impossible to force Nas to retreat completely if we bite the bullet and fight outside.

However, the National Salvation Army is not an isolated point.

There may be many enemies around the Gyeonggi region, and some strength guarantees are needed to maintain stable development opportunities.

On the other hand, by the same logic, after Nass’s invasion, would the other three members of the five Vaklia nations be so resigned to this?

"The North has the best people and the worst rulers. The troops stationed in Breland's territory must always be on guard against the others crossing the border."

If they do not preserve their elite forces now, or even launch a rash pursuit, they will most likely be surrounded by the four surrounding countries and the alien species in the Eastern Wilderness.

Only by shrinking like this can you maintain a posture that can deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

"We are dragging our feet now. At least the enemy is not on our territory. We can just drag our feet."

"We just need to pay some additional expenses to maintain the current conscription situation, and after the migration and integration policy of the fertile land in the south is implemented, this small expense will be absolutely insignificant."

Once the fertile land in the south is integrated, it will not only represent the basic benefit of food supplementation, but also represent many subsequent impacts.

For example, the capital region no longer needs to keep a group of people to farm. They can devote themselves to the assembly line of the magic industry system, or become part of the military expansion.

Moreover, Abes would no longer have to keep a group of troops in Sweet Leaf City to defend the fertile land in the south. These extra troops could naturally be immediately transferred to other places, allowing the extra troops to supplement the huge pressure in the west.

Furthermore, the integration of the fertile land in the south meant more than just conscripting people to take over the land. It also meant that the instructors he sent out had successfully trained the Lizardmen troops and were ready to launch a surprise attack from the southwest to the north at any time.

Utilization of idle population in the Gyeonggi region, utilization of surplus military forces, and utilization of newly born Lizardman warrior teams.

This kills three birds with one stone, and the import and supply of food is just an ordinary dish that looks less gorgeous on this "feast".

"So, we can afford to delay, but Nas Free Territory, which has invested the most in military, can't afford to delay."

"We will drag him down until he is exhausted, until he runs out of resources, until he voluntarily retreats, until he admits defeat and surrenders. Of course, if we are stingy, or if we have something to ask for, we can refuse to admit his surrender."

After finishing speaking, Abes proudly flipped through the notes in his hand. These were the thoughts he had gained from his intensive study of the situation in the five countries of Vaklia in the past few days.

"For so many years, Nas' economy and people's livelihood have not shown any signs of recovery. Instead, there has been a certain rigidity and regression."

"If you ask me, that so-called Free Lord has turned his Nas Free Territory into a one-man stand-alone game."

"He seems to think that if he can turn all citizens into undead beings that he doesn't need to worry about, he can run the entire country well."

"But if this continues, even if he doesn't collapse, the Five Nations of Waklia will want him to collapse."

"Since the five countries of Vakolia can keep a close eye on the civil strife in the small kingdom of Vomza, they can certainly keep a close eye on Nas, who is gradually losing his strength. This is why I said that if we have something to ask for, we can refuse to surrender. If a war really breaks out, we can have the moral right."

When Kronos pushed open the door of Hiiragi's brand new laboratory, he smelled a strong smell of smoke and dust.

The silver-haired girl pushed the door open and saw the Archmage of Frost lying on a bench in an ungraceful manner.

Her eyes were fixed on the ceiling.

This great wizard, who was also a good sister, teacher and student, did not have any aversion to Kronos' uninvited visit.

Obviously, magic laboratories do not have as many disinfection regulations as modern laboratories.

Moreover, it is obvious that Bing Nagi wants to talk to someone now.

She threw over a simple set of runes, one on the left and one on the right, which were a bunch of basic runes for micro-movement and rotation.

Of course, the entire rune set is in a scattered state, and perhaps someone needs to calculate, install them in the correct position, and connect them in sequence.

"How about a little game?"

"Games?"

"Yes, I see, you fight."

Kronos nodded, then took it and assembled the entire piece with a few clicks.

And when she placed this thing on the table, it executed in the order in which the rune groups were activated.

Rotate 108 degrees, then move about six inches; then continue the above cycle.

After placing it, Kronos quickly realized what it was.

"Can you draw a pentagon?"

"Yes, that's it. It's very simple."

As he spoke, Hiiragi also stood up and called to the confused Kronos, "Come and help me lift this table."

The two men lifted the heavy desk and moved it to the window of the laboratory.

After stabilizing it, Hiinagi pulled up the rune set that Kronos had assembled from the table, and after shaking it casually, it disintegrated.

Then she handed the thing back to Kronos again.

"Can we try again?"

"Of course." Kronos nodded, and this time, when she was about to fight again, Bing Nagi turned around and faced away from her.

?

Although he didn't understand what was happening, Kronos still easily recreated the simple rune set that he had just assembled.

"move!"

After hearing the sound of the small core controlled by the rune group sliding across the table in a complete pentagon, Hirayama turned around and continued waving without hesitation.

"...Okay." The two of them lifted the desk again, this time, not by the window, nor in the center, but moved to a corner of the laboratory where there were no experimental equipment.

And then the cycle repeats itself.

It was not until five times that Kronos wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"I say, Sister Hyonagi, Teacher Hyonagi...what on earth is going on with you?"

And Hiiragi lay back on the bench in the same state as Kronos saw her in the beginning.

"Doing experiments. Don't you know the classification method that Master Abes mentioned?"

"I know, but..."

"That's right. Let me summarize it for you. We conducted five experiments in total."

"They all have one variable that's different, some I'm looking at, some I'm not looking at, some in different spaces, some in different orders - those times I asked you to install rotation first instead of micro-movement."

"Then the conclusion is very simple. We can conclude that whether or not we observe it, the order of installation, or even the space or time we are in will not affect the function of the simple rune set composed of basic runes according to a certain process."

"I'm right."

This was a normal result, but Kronos understood that Hyoanagi's focus should be on the following part, so he did not interrupt her.

And sure enough, the big one was about to come.

"It's a pity that the law of rune groups, or the law of life, can't be extended to the experiment of using spiritual dust as building materials. This is incredible!"

The frost mage rolled up from the bench, then took the simple rune set in his hand and assembled it again.

“Imagine another scenario:”

"The first time, I watched, the experiment was successful, hard, transparent, and tough, a perfect building material;"

"The second time, all the processes were the same, but I wasn't watching. The experiment failed and nothing was created in the vessel.

"The third time, I still watched and did not make any revisions, but this time, I got something completely different in nature. If the first time was 'glass' as hard as a wall, this time it was chocolate powder and sesame paste;"

"The fourth time, I changed the amount of catalyst, but the product was directly changed from building material to plant fiber;"

"The fifth time, I changed the catalyst back, but this time it was even more outrageous. I got a cannonball, and it flew through the door of the laboratory."

"What I didn't expect was that... while studying the products with the most impurities in the magic industry system, and incidentally researching a new building material for Master Abes, I would encounter a phenomenon that broke all my ideas for the past six months."

"I seem to have returned to the mysterious and profound impression of magic research in the past... There is no rationality and rigor that I have cultivated in the past six months."

Wang Du was troubled by Ling Chen's strange experimental performance, while Abes was dealing with Nas's enemies at Breland's house.

His strategic layout that Nash "can't be fast" is obviously correct.

The opponent soon realized this. They no longer deployed their formation to delay time, but launched high-frequency attacks again.

But now, they have established a firm foothold behind the border, and with the help of the magic radio station, they can get feedback and respond to both large-scale operations and small-scale sneaky attacks.

This sense of security continued until Abes was assassinated.

The last assassination attempt was still the last one, or rather, it was not an assassination attempt at all.

In the Mud City, he unexpectedly ran into five extraordinary wanderers who were arranged by the Breland family to go back to the main house to find the prescription, so a conflict broke out.

Although Abes and Hiiragi identified him as an assassin at the time, and the Lord of Sludge City, Bad Genia, also sent his own notice back to the capital that had just formed an alliance not long ago according to the seriousness of the assassination.

But afterwards Abes could easily judge that it was not a premeditated assassination, and asked Kronos and others not to continue to embarrass the Lord of Slime City who should have nothing to do with the matter.

But this time, what Abes encountered was a real assassination.

It was just another ordinary high-frequency night raid.

Inside the Breland family's castle, Abes, who was listening to the dispatch feedback from his subordinates as usual and giving some pointers on key points, suddenly felt a chill on his back.

When he turned around, he saw a standard sneak attacker outfit shrouded in darkness.

Different from the previous time when he killed a wanderer on the spot, this time, Abes actually began to show weakness to the enemy.

Because he wanted to capture him alive, he wanted to understand how this figure bypassed the heavily defended castle and came so close to him.

It couldn't be that there was a traitor among his soldiers or companions, or was there some secret passage in the Breland family's castle that he hadn't found?

Well, the possibility of the latter is extremely high. After all, the route that Abes and his companions took to raid was the magic transportation channel under the farmlands.
