Capítulo 2167: Chapter 667: Preparing for War (Part 1)_3
“One pound of charcoal sprite has such great power; what about a hundred pounds, a thousand pounds, or a ton of charcoal sprite?” Richard said through gritted teeth, “The refining formula for charcoal sprite is very simple; both the water and the few other plant juices are easy to obtain! The world under the sea is unknown to be many tis larger than our continent, and the Demon World is also vast and rich. If they get their hands on charcoal sprite, it will definitely be a disaster for us!”
“No wonder the Hell Black Dragon would side with him, Roml truly has a sinister plan!” The Bimon high officials finally understood what Richard was trying to say. The Shaman of Divine Songs wasn’t planning on selling the charcoal sprite formula to the Sea Clan and the Demon Clan, two mortal enemies? The Bimon could think of it, and humans certainly wouldn’t miss it either. Roml’s Lucian fallen elves had already been quietly pushed to the opposing side of all Aegean races with just a sheet of charcoal sprite formula.
Not only did he make money, but he also easily dealt with Lucian. Roml killed two birds with one stone, never allowing others to take a single advantage! Moreover, Bimon was still left in an unprecedented dilemma about whether to cooperate with dusa.
“What else is there to consider? Collaborate with dusa to refine charcoal sprite, fifty-fifty split. We’ll provide the technology, they supply the raw materials. The human envoy is estimated to arrive in Donau soon to negotiate how to quickly flatten Lucian. In the anti, we should stockpile so charcoal sprite aerial bombs, shouldn’t we?” Richard was rather unwilling to be used as a pawn, but reality is reality, and if Lucian isn’t eliminated soon, the whole Bimon Kingdom won’t be able to sleep well.
“That bastard!” King Sal deeply regretted not having killed Roml sooner with a sword, letting him stir up such a storm with just a sheet of formula.
Ti quickly moved into mid-September, and the sea and land forces, who had ceased fire for more than half a month, still showed no signs of clashing.
Although the Sea Clan’s Storm Sorcerers total up to eighteen thousand, facing the totem pillar of war songs with its Forbidden Magic effects, even with the help of the Black Shining Destroyer, the spells they can jointly use at once are only over two thousand, completely unable to threaten the Forgotten Valley defense line; while the magical power of Bimon and humans, including the war song group from Erald City, can only withstand the Sea Clan’s spell onslaught with the totem pillar’s help, with no power to launch an attack—since the Forbidden Magic area of the totem pillar can’t radiate to the Sea Sorcerers’ position, besides the Fairy Dragon, probably no one dares to cross the line.
The Demon Clan during this ti showed discretion, not revealing any signs of advancing into Aegean, the long-lost peace resembling beautiful bubbles, displaying captivating beauty beneath the shallow surface; although everyone was unaware of what the enemy was busy with during this ti, everyone understood that beneath this abnormal tranquility, an unparalleled storm must be brewing.
Arms dealers from the Tang Zang Empire, dusa Kingdom, and Dubin Kingdom maneuvered between the major realms of Aegean, besides desperately selling their own country’s military weapons, counting money until their hands cramped, the dusa Kingdom and Dubin Kingdom also learned from the Tang Zang Empire’s clever thod to divert dostic conflicts, forming rcenaries from young rogues and grass-roots heroes greatly affecting social stability, recomnding them to various taverns in Aegean as neutral heroes, accepting employnt and recruitnt.
For a ti, across the Aegean Continent, warriors of varying skin colors, languages, and races flooded everywhere, everyone with swords at their sides, charging past.
During this period, probably only Roml was still fighting, he unsurprisingly led a group to occupy Sword Peak in the Eastern Aegean. With its high hills and dense forests, not only did he win so brilliant battles, devouring at least five thousand Sea Clan garrison troops, but also broke through the Osven Concentration Camp, rescuing the captured royal mbers of the Holy Modan Principality, creating a strong opening montum for the Flying Cal Army behind enemy lines.
In the Eastern Aegean, the spontaneous militia never ceased resisting, these scattered brave soldiers and iron-willed people were extrely lacking in support and supplies, whether in terms of weaponry or troop composition, far from being comparable to Roml’s Flying Cal Army; thus, the unorganized militia rushed to join Roml’s banner, causing the Sea Clan’s garrison troops to scramble to plug leaks and extinguish fires everywhere.
During this valuable ti, Bimon also comnced large-scale preparations for war and famine.
No Aegean country could tolerate Lucian as a giant potential threat. Within less than three days of the charcoal sprite formula spreading, humans reached a secret agreent with Bimon; once each country stocks up to ten thousand pounds of charcoal sprite aerial bombs, they will erase the fallen elves from the surface.
Besides deploying tax officials to collect food from Cave Dwellers in the Underground World and Red Skins in Chesang Continent, Richard also purchased countless rice and flour from the three major arms kingdoms to prepare for ergencies; for military supplies, Bimon is accumulating heavy crossbows and strong bows at any cost, during the Witherspoon battle, Bimon used up two million arrows in one night. Except for self-production, they must engage in mass military purchases.
The Tang Zang Empire’s “Bee Nest Catapults,” Dubin Kingdom’s “Leap Frogs,” dusa Kingdom’s deadly Seven-Step Reversal poison, these top-tier munitions other Aegean countries could only buy at high prices for defective goods specifically for export, but in the Bimon Kingdom, because of the gold-standard Shaman of Divine Songs, the three arms kingdoms offered first-class craftsmanship standardized munitions at a friendly price.
