The Lich of Glory Knight Spirit: Moving towards Krimasha! Chapter 543 - 38: Jones and Andrew2
"Yes!" The twelve teams composed of elves, dwarves, blood clan, and goblins saluted Jones in unison. Then they turned and entered the space portal one by one. Each team also had a lich, not as the captain, but as the force assurance. The other team mbers were responsible for intelligence gathering, while the lich provided necessary force support.
"Is it that urgent?" Adriel, standing to the side, asked with folded arms.
"Very urgent." Jones jumped down from Hydra’s back and landed beside Adriel, "The blood elf told so news. The ore we need is called Mordo ore, and it is only produced under the sacred tree. In other words, throughout the continent, except for Krimasha, there will be nowhere to find this ore. I believe what they said is true. Aunt Erin once told that those ores are very strange, seemingly unlike ores."
"So, your plan is in the blood elves’ hands now?"
"Yes. This makes the Krimasha relics very important. Although I actually don’t think anything valuable can be found in relics over ten thousand years old. Demons and angels want to sever the connection between Fourth Epoch humans and Third Epoch humans. In this case, they should directly destroy the relics. On this issue, there should be no differences between Heaven and Hell. Of course, whether they are valuable or not, if the blood elves think they are valuable, then they are valuable."
Adriel quietly looked at Jones.
Turning aside, Jones walked towards the hall exit while saying, "Although they all lie within the human lords’ land, these relics should currently be unmanaged. If that’s the case, then I must take full control at the first mont. The blood elves tightly hold the ore, and I must tightly hold the relics, otherwise, we won’t be able to negotiate equally with them."
Adriel hurriedly followed up, "Then it’s good."
"Good?" Jones blinked and stopped, "I think the situation is quite bad, we might not get the ore. You say ’good’?"
Adriel said with a wry smile, "You suddenly returned with a space portal late at night and quickly gathered your n, I thought you had gotten into a fight with the blood elves, like before in High Court."
Looking at Adriel, Jones sighed helplessly.
The intelligence gathering was much faster than expected. Before dawn, the teams sent out had gradually returned with ssages.
Twelve known relics, eight were in the south and four within the Gustav Empire’s territory. Due to the old cathedral’s intervention, there were no inhabitants within tens of kiloters around these twelve relics. So relics were even hidden underground, and you wouldn’t realize it was an ancient civilization relic even if you walked over it.
"It seems it was originally a city, there’s no one living nearby nor anyone guarding it. The damage is severe, all that remains are ruins, with wind and sand erosion. The murals and writings are basically indistinguishable now, given their age of over ten thousand years. After a cursory check, nothing valuable was found. Of course, if the whole area is controlled and excavated carefully, there might be unexpected discoveries."
"It seems to be an altar-like structure. There is a military outpost nearby, manned by knights originally responsible for guarding the relics for the old cathedral. These knights are now cooperating with Heaven’s forces to combat the local lords. Heaven’s forces are active nearby. The buildings above ground are severely damaged, even the outlines are hard to discern. But there are underground passages. There are magic fluctuations underground, possibly traps, we didn’t dare enter. The underground part seems well-preserved."
"There’s nothing there, just a forest. Nothing was found. But there are old cathedral troops nearby, they seed to be past guardians of the relics, yet they don’t know where the relics are themselves."
"A city built within the mountain, very large in scale. The buildings above ground can no longer be seen clearly, but the buildings inside the mountain are still well-preserved. There might be so valuable things. Currently, it is under the control of the Southern Alliance."
"An underground city, very large in scale. However, it seems to be at risk of collapsing at any ti. The knights of the old cathedral guarding it have scattered, and recently many thieves tried to enter but mostly chose to give up after suffering casualties. Currently, it is a no-man’s land."
I have to say, elves, whether they are wood elves or blood elves, are very suitable for intelligence work. They are nimble, act quickly, and have sharp minds... Of course, I an sharp minds compared to the other races tead up with them.
Before dawn, the first batch of intelligence had already been placed in front of Jones.
Three sites where nothing was found. Eight sites large or small, the ground parts were basically all thoroughly damaged. Regarding the underground parts, it can only be judged that they "might have sothing valuable." After all, ti was too tight, they couldn’t get detailed information.
The eight found sites all showed no traces of excavation. Apart from so local people’s petty thievery.
The last one, the intelligence received said, "City Lord, I think you need to co over in person."
Seeing this piece of intelligence, Jones was montarily stunned, then quickly stood up.
Undoubtedly, this should be what he was looking for.
Jones and Adriel quickly went through the space portal to the site.
The location was in a wilderness within the forr Gustav Empire territory. A place at the junction of mountains and plains, covered in snow all year round.
When Jones arrived, he saw from afar a large camp of Lumback soldiers. Judging by the scale, there were at least a thousand n.
"What’s going on?" Jones asked.
The wood elf in charge of intelligence gathering responded softly, "This area should have originally belonged to the Gustav Empire, but after the Battle of Black Dragon City, the Gustav Empire collapsed. The Southern Alliance troops that were supposed to control this area withdrew due to dostic troubles, thus it was controlled by the Lunbak Empire."
"Lunbak controlled Gustav’s territory? Why was I completely uninford." Jones was slightly surprised.
"Not only you, City Lord, I think few people knew." The wood elf explained, "This whole area is a no-man’s land. There used to be old cathedral knights stationed, but now they are all gone. Lunbak’s entry likely went unnoticed."
"So, Lunbak entered here for the Krimasha relics?" asked Adriel.
Nodding, the wood elf continued, "But that’s not the main point, the main point is, we sneaked in for a look."
"I went in, they didn’t detect ." The blood clan mber beside raised his hand.
"Yes, we sent him in," the wood elf glanced at the blood clan mber, "and we discovered that this army has many rcenaries, all wearing insignias marked with ’Blood Elf and Dragon rcenary Group.’ Their leader... is Mr. Andrew."
"Andrew?" Jones slowly widened his eyes, seemingly understanding imdiately.
"Yes, Mr. Andrew." The wood elf said seriously, "This army is here for the Krimasha relics, and they follow Mr. Andrew’s orders. We all know Mr. Andrew was once a mber of the Silver Moon Knight Order."
"Not just that, crucially, he is also a blood elf." Looking at the brightly lit camp on the plain, Jones took a deep breath and said casually, "Seems like I should have a good talk with him."
