Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 124 Departure to Galide

Bai Shi was in a good mood now that he had a way to control the scarlet corruption pollution in Gaileyd.

When leaving the round table hall, he was even humming a little tune.

Although it is only a possibility at present, it is better than being aimless.

As for Gallid, Bai Shi must take care of him if he can.

The lives in Gaileed have all suffered a disaster that they should not have endured.

These lives, these 'not so important' lives, no one in the game cares about them.

Who cares about the suffering they go through?
Who will ask "why?" for them?

Bai Shi wants to save them.

He had made the decision long before the city of Moren.

He does not regard himself as a savior, nor does he dare to guarantee that he can do it.

It's just that he wanted to do it, he was so arrogant that he wanted to change the world.

It's not that selfless and noble, it's just for self-satisfaction.

Moreover, the place of Gaileed is very large, and it fully deserves the word vast.

It would be great if such a large area could be governed and recovered.

However, Bai Shi was not heading for these territories.

Even if you stand in the center of Galid, use Wind Spirit Moon Shadow to set a fire and burn all the Crimson Corruption.

It will take a long time for Gaileed to recover and produce supplies.

If Bai Shi wanted to conquer and utilize Gaileed, he would have become the King of Elden by then.

Bai Shi also knew this very well.

Therefore, these territories are only regarded as bonuses. The most important thing is to save the creatures on that land.

I have to say that Bai Shi is indeed an idealist.

But he just happened to have the ability to turn his ideals into reality.

Gallide is now a complete quagmire. No one can or will take care of it.

Just kidding, the effort and reward are totally disproportionate.

Only a guy like Bai Shi would do such a thing.

But someone has to do it, right?

Among the other demigods, the only ones who would care about Galid are Latan and Mungat.

Needless to say, Latan was his own territory after all.

It's a pity that he has fallen into madness, and only his soldiers are still fighting against the scarlet corruption.

Mongert should also take care of it after everything is settled, because he is the benevolent and blessed king.

After reaching an agreement with Hilbert, Bai Shi prepared to set off for Gaileed.

First, he changed the destination of the first stop and went to pick up Hilbert.

She will be an important figure in the future governance of Gaileed.

According to Hilbert, some strange creatures have appeared around her recently.

It looks like a bug, with a pale exoskeleton, but stands like a human.

Although he had not yet fought against them, their pale bodies made Hilbert feel sick.

Especially the rustling sound they make when they move, which makes people's scalp tingle just by listening to it.

No one knew where these ghost things came from. They might have been attracted by the neutralization areas created when she was testing the medicine.

As soon as Bai Shi heard this description, he knew it must be that group of disgusting and corrupt followers.

You know, the land of Gaileed is already full of scarlet corruption.

Therefore, the believers of Scarlet Corruption also rushed here from all over with their families to make a pilgrimage there.

Among these believers, the 'Mushroom Man' is considered to be relatively friendly.

But there is another group of more radical and cruel believers of Scarlet Corruption.

Their sacrilege against the cleansing of the scarlet corruption is unforgivable.

It seems that we must rush over to protect Hilbert and not let her lose her due to an accident.

Enter the blessing space from the round table.

Melina looked Bai Shi up and down with her golden right eye.

Bai Shi, holding the weapon, looked extremely sharp and exuded an aggressive aura.

"Well, this set of equipment suits you very well. It's very handsome."

Being praised by Melina feels completely different from being praised by others.

Bai Shi felt a little embarrassed and touched the gray hair that decorated the crown, ruffling it into a mess.

Only when he was with Melina could he express various emotions so relaxedly.

When Melina saw Bai Shi like this, she couldn't help but chuckle, her eyelashes fluttering.

Bai Shi watched Melina's smile and started laughing too.

At the same time, he re-strengthened his determination in his heart.

We must find a way to restore Melina's health.

Also, this time, Melina must not be allowed to experience the pain of burning again.

After returning to Stonewell, Bai Shi immediately looked for Lancelet.

As the deputy governor, Lancelet has been managing all the affairs, big and small, in the city of Stonewell.

The management is indeed very good, and Stonewell is developing step by step.

Therefore, Bai Shi didn't have to worry about the chaos in the city after he went to Gaileed.

Next, Bai Shi will leave Stonewell and go to Gaileed for quite some time.

You must give instructions for all things before leaving, or at least arrange the general tasks.

Bai Shi was in a hurry to leave, so he went directly to Lancelet's office.

When Lancelet saw Bai Shi coming to him in person, he immediately jumped up from his chair and saluted respectfully.

Bai Shi didn't care about these trivial matters and said straight to the point:

"Lancelet, next I will leave Stonewell and go to Gaileed."

"It could be a few weeks at the shortest, or a month at the longest. I hope you can continue to manage Stonewell well during this time."

Lancelet was shocked when he heard this.

"What! You're leaving Stonewell for a long time?!"

Although Bai Shi often wandered around and learned magic before, he didn't care much about anything.

But no matter what, if something happens to Stonewell, he can rush back immediately.

Traveling far away is completely different.

To be honest, Lancelet was now very nervous and a little sweaty.

All kinds of possible horrific situations kept appearing in my mind.

He even thought about bizarre situations such as the coalition of kings attacking Stonewell.

I'm just worried that I won't be able to protect Stonewell.

Unlike Lancelet, Bai Shi didn't have such a wild imagination and was quite relaxed.

Anyway, he is a hands-off boss.

And he believed that during his absence, Lancelet would manage everything properly, just like before.

"It's okay, it's okay, I believe in your management ability"

Lancelet hesitated:

"Well, that's not the case..."

Bai Shi blinked, not knowing what Lancelet wanted to say.

"Haha, you can't be worried that I'll die out there."

Lancelet shook his head and quickly denied it.

"You are so strong. I believe that no matter what the situation is, you will be able to get through it safely."

"It's just... you are the backbone of Stonewell after all."

"Besides, I heard that Gallid is not a good place..."

"Even if you are powerful, facing something like Scarlet Corruption, there may be unexpected risks."

Bai Shi raised an eyebrow when he saw that Lancelet was concerned about his safety.

So Bai Shi patted Lancelet on the shoulder and told him not to worry.

"A warrior is bound to get hurt." "Besides, I came here to participate in the battle festival and face the Star-Breaking General Ratan. It would be strange if I didn't get hurt."

Lancelet still had some concerns, and continued:
"When you left Stonewell, we could say that this was our weakest period."

"If you're not here, no matter how well Stonewell develops, it will just be the next piece of meat on the chopping block of the other demigods."

His worries were not unfounded, as there were indeed some demigods who might attack.

It was not the Blessed King Mungat. He had to guard the royal city of Rodel and did not have the time to leave.

But it was the Blood King Munger, and he was not too skilled at things like stealing homes.

But no matter what, Bai Shi has to go to Gaileed.

If we worry so much about possible risks, wouldn't that be like throwing the baby out with the bathwater?
And whether it is Stonewell, or other forces that he will conquer in the future.

These should be your help, not your burden.

These faded people that I recruited are all warriors.

In addition to the Faded Ones, the indigenous people of the border area also trained a number of serious soldiers.

If I lose myself, I will be beaten through, which would be too embarrassing.

"Okay, don't think too much. I'll leave it to you. Do your best."

"As for emergencies, I'll leave a mark in the city and have a few more Faders keep an eye on it, and touch upon it if anything happens."

"No matter what the situation is, I will come back immediately through the blessing."

Bai Shi gave the task to Lancelet.

"Next, gather all the people who signed up last time, distribute the dragon blood and flesh, and intensify their training."

Ever since the call was issued, there has been an endless stream of people signing up to devour dragon flesh and blood.

Being able to quickly improve one's strength is quite tempting, and the cost is just a negligible amount of blood thirst.

Hakan volunteered to be the first person to eat dragon meat.

After that, we asked a few more volunteers to try, and their performances were similar.

Bai Shi has already confirmed that dragon meat does have a small effect on improving one's strength.

In terms of data, it's probably a random increase of one or two points in vitality, endurance, strength and agility.

The weaker a person is, the greater the improvement will be.

And as more dragon meat is devoured, the improvement will become greater.

Although the improvement in each attribute is not much, it is already a huge improvement for low- and mid-level warriors whose general attributes are only in the teens or twenties.

"By the way, we need to start crafting the corresponding armor."

After saying that, Bai Shi took out a blueprint and handed it to Lancelet.

This drawing was also drawn by Melina.

This set of equipment covers every part of the body, leaving no gaps.

There are dark patterns carved all over the body, which is very gorgeous.

The suit that Bai Shi reserved for them was the Dragon Blood Knight suit.

The Dragonblood Knights crave dragon blood.

It is also the most suitable equipment for them.

In fact, Bai Shi originally planned to use the Lothric Knight set.

It’s not because the Dragonblood Knight is bad, but the Lothric Knight is indeed impressive.

The fact that the Lothric Knights associate with flying dragons is also related.

Although Bai Shi can't get a few dragons like Lothric now.

But he can keep the flying dragon in his stomach and fight alongside them.

But it is still the Dragon Blood Knight, the suit that best suits his identity.

Other troop sets will be created later.

The Dragon Blood Knights will be the most elite and fastest-trained troops in the coming period.

But in the future, Bai Shi does not plan to continue developing this kind of troops. After all, this is not a long-term solution.

They will only take on important tasks in the early stages of development, but other normally trained troops will be needed to take over their responsibilities later on.

"Also, we'll start assessments at the martial arts training grounds, examining their qualities from all aspects. This data will be useful in the future."

"In the future, we will train them according to their qualities and form armies with different characteristics so that they can cooperate with each other on the battlefield in the future."

"We need more and stronger troops."

Lancelet took the drawings and wrote down all of this.

"Apart from military matters, are there any other instructions?"

Bai Shi thought about it and felt that there was basically nothing else to mention, so he just executed it as it was.

"There's nothing else to do. Just follow the original urban development plan and coordinate well between the various races."

"During this period of time, we can take the trained soldiers out for some training. We can target the caves in various places in Nimgfu and clear out the beasts and enemies inside."

"Then arrange for a group of demihumans to plant cave moss in the cave. Remember to plant the kind of moss that grows tiny crystals."

"The more the better. It would be best if we could fill up all the caves with them."

"The number of city guards needs to be increased and their training needs to be strengthened. Now that more and more people are coming, the guards need to take on more work."

"Oh, and the restoration of the city and other building construction also need more attention."

Bai Shi thought about it carefully again and felt that there should be nothing missing.

So Bai Shi said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Bai Shi also said hello to the other people around him, and then went to Gaileed alone.

Elissa and the two Crucible Knights originally wanted to follow.

But Bai Shi asked them to stay in Stonewell in case there was any crisis and they would not even have mid- to high-end combat power.

Bai Shi rode Torret and set out from the city gate.

Torret is still wearing the same outfit he wore when he ascended the throne, except that many of the small decorations have been removed.

Bai Shi also asked Torrett if he should make him a set of horse armor.

But Torrett was not interested in this and thought that the decorations on his body looked better.

Passing through Storm Hill, Bai Shi also passed by several villages along the road.

These are all small villages under Stonewell, and their leaders were symbolically enthroned after Bai Shi ascended the throne.

This was also Bai Shi's first time inspecting his territory.

Some of these villages are big and some are small.

The larger ones have several thousand people and can be called towns, with simple defensive structures.

The smaller ones may only have a hundred or even dozens of people in total, and are basically just a village.

Under Bai Shi's order to develop agriculture, a lot of wasteland has been reclaimed to meet the needs of planting.

Now that the city’s population has increased dramatically, without stable logistics, its development will inevitably be affected.

In the past, the demand in the city was not particularly great, and a little planting and hunting were enough to sustain it.

But now the city is training professional soldiers who do not do any production, so we must develop additional planting.

In the woods, Bai Shi found a dilapidated house with a blessing next to it.

In other words, this house was built after someone discovered this blessing.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is the dilapidated house where the combat teacher Bernard is supposed to be.

It can also be said that it was the house where the future king Bernard temporarily stayed.

But there is no one here now either. I don’t know if he has returned to the Volcano Residence.

Follow the road all the way to Galid.

After a long journey, the population around gradually became sparse.

There are no more villages on both sides of the road, only a few wooden buildings such as outposts.

After passing a soldier's stronghold and stepping onto a bridge, a loud voice came:

"Hey, is there anyone who can help me?"

"I've been stuck here for days! Help! I'm starving to death!"

"Oh, that's not right. I'm a pot. I don't think I'll starve to death. Hahahaha!"

“…Please! Someone please come!”

　Oh, I had a full class in the morning, and suddenly there was a class meeting, which lasted for two hours. It was really invincible. A little late, sorry sorry_(:з」∠)_
