Chapter 97 Reunion (Please recommend and add to your favorites!)

"Alright, I will personally capture Lin Meng alive and hand him over to you for disposal when he arrives. You also need to work harder on your cultivation."

The white-robed woman, Mafia, said, "The most crucial point in the transition from a first-level wizard apprentice to a second-level wizard apprentice lies in the spell structure. As for mana, with the amount of 'energy-gathering potions' you have, you will be able to condense your mana quickly. The sooner you complete the construction of a spell, the sooner your boss can rest assured."

"Thank you, Miss Mafia. I will focus on my training once I kill Lin Meng."

"A cruel look appeared on Xu Ri Hongguang's face," he said.

"With Miss Mafia's strength as a third-class apprentice, killing Nalinmeng is naturally a piece of cake. Young Master, you can rest assured."

The knight standing to the side said with a smile.

"Then let's gather a large army and head to the Zongheng Mountains. We can't let Lin Meng escape this time."

Xu Ri Hongguang waved his hand fiercely.

At his command, the knights and great knights who wanted to curry favor with him went to gather their own armies and head towards the Hengduan Mountains.

……

Outside Gem Town, a complete curfew has been imposed.

Scouts were stationed dozens of miles away, and once inside Gem Town, there were sentries every five or ten steps.

This time, Lin Meng had too many wounded soldiers under his command.

With nearly 10,000 soldiers, almost 30% were wounded or sick. The medical supplies in the entire town of Gemstone were insufficient to treat 3,000 people. Even if all the herbs from the surrounding villages were collected, it would still not be enough. Many soldiers could only rely on their bodies to endure the pain.

This is the weakest point in Lin Meng's forces; if they are not properly prepared, they may face annihilation.

Fortunately, after leaving the polar ice field, everyone's condition gradually recovered, and as time went by, some soldiers with mild symptoms were almost fully recovered.

"Captain, we have already communicated with Captain Nero and informed them of our situation. In addition, our spies from the Snowfield Principality have reported that Asahi Hiromitsu is personally leading a large army and is heading straight for Gem Town, where we are located."

Zuoqiu walked up to Lin Meng and whispered.

"Rising Sun Hiromitsu? He's recovered again?"

Lin Meng was somewhat surprised, but after a moment, he thought of something: "That makes sense. He is the son of Ben Yun, the chairman of Xuri Group. He has professionals helping him to treat his mental damage, and more than half a year has passed, so it's not surprising that he has recovered mentally."

He narrowed his eyes slightly after speaking: "It seems Hongguang wants to avenge his humiliation... How many men did he bring?"

"The exact number is unclear, but it can be estimated to be around 20,000. Eight great knights followed him in a grand procession."

Zuoqiu Road.

"He's afraid that if we bring too many people, we'll feel overwhelmed and retreat. Judging from the number of people, he probably already knows about Nero and my strength... If I'm not mistaken, eight Grand Knights are definitely not his full strength. There are at least four or five more Grand Knights hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike."

Lin Mengdao.

"Should we avoid their sharp edge and then proceed gradually?"

"No need. If we retreat now, we'll likely face even more enemies next time. It's impossible to win by surprise now, so let's fight a fair and square battle."

A glint of light flashed in Lin Meng's eyes.

In previous wars, his side had always won big battles with small forces. Now that the two armies were facing each other, some tricks were no longer very useful. He could take this opportunity to test the fighting strength of his own army.

"Yes, Vice Captain. I will inform Captain Nero to come and join us as soon as possible."

"Go."

Lin Meng waved his hand.

Time passed in a tense atmosphere of waiting.

Even if the entire Snowfield Principality is not as powerful as the two kingdoms of Aden and Frost, it still has more than 800,000 square kilometers of territory. If we really wait for Rising Sun and Hongguang to arrive from the capital of the principality, it will be at least half a month later.

Lin Meng naturally couldn't waste these two weeks.

During this period, in addition to actively treating the wounded, he also ordered Zuoqiu and Kidd's elite troops to sweep through dozens of kilometers centered on Baoshi Town.

With overwhelming strength, in just a few days, they had brought a baronial territory and half of a viscountial territory into their own domain.

Because these territories are all close to the Hengduan Mountains, including the mountain territories, the map phantom in the world fragments has increased by nearly 10,000 square kilometers.

However, seemingly because the war in the Snowfield Principality has not yet reached a final conclusion, the map in the world fragment feels extremely unstable, as if it could collapse at any moment.

"I wonder if the increased power I gained after conquering territory will be stripped away..."

Lin Meng glanced at the map of the world fragments...

He'll have to test it out properly after this big battle is over.

As he pondered, he focused his attention on the faint glow.

With a major battle imminent, he needs to convert this energy into strength as soon as possible.

"My mental strength hasn't fully advanced yet, so it's not advisable to increase it now. Therefore..."

Guided by Lin Meng, the white fluorescent light seeped into his body. Soon, he felt his strength increase, and his muscles seemed to become firmer.

Character: Walker Linmon

Rank: Grand Knight, First-Class Wizard Apprentice

Power: 4.1

Agility: 5.0

Physical condition: 5.0

Spirit: 5.0

"Due to the influence of an unknown force, stamina recovery +830%!"

"Due to the influence of an unknown force, self-healing ability increased by 830%!"

"Ten thousand square kilometers... strength increased by 0.3... the increase is a bit small..."

Although Lin Meng hasn't focused much on strength training lately, he's nearing the critical point for improvement. In other words, this 10,000 square kilometers of territory might have increased his strength attribute by about 0.25.

However, his conquests across the east and west to establish territories connecting the Hengduan Mountains and the polar ice fields were not for increasing power, but for restoring buffs!

Once the territories are connected, the buff can be activated smoothly. With powerful mental recovery and self-healing abilities, it will undoubtedly play a significant role in the upcoming battle.

Finally, after several days of waiting, Nero arrived with his army.

This time, not only did the Silver Knights arrive, but another Black Armor Legion under his command also set off for the Snowfield Duchy. This force was far stronger than the hastily assembled Sunset Legion under Lin Meng's command.

"You've finally arrived. If you hadn't come, I would have had to consider withdrawing my troops. I can't hold off Asahi Hiromitsu's 20,000-strong army by myself."

Lin Meng hugged Nero and said with a smile.

"Hahaha, your surprise attack on the Snowfield Duchy has made things much easier for Ryan. To deal with you, Xu Ri Hong Guang has almost drawn away half of his top warriors from the main battlefield."

Nero jokingly teased, "You two are truly in love."

"I never expected that Hongguang would hate me to this extent, even at the cost of giving up the advantage on the front line."

"You killed him once in Carol City, and given his personality, he naturally won't let it go easily. However, this time he brought many experts, including what's said to be a peak Grand Knight..."

"Peak Grand Knight..."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Meng said, "I have a way to deal with that great knight."

"you?"

Nero was somewhat surprised.

A peak Grand Knight refers to someone whose all attributes are above 4.5. Such a person can easily take on three or four ordinary Grand Knights.

Lin Meng smiled mysteriously but did not reply.

After several days of meditation, he has successfully completed the condensation of the first strand of magical power. He estimates that after another day or two of cultivation, this strand of magical power will be fully formed.

With magical power, one can activate the Slow spell, which, if used well, can be a trump card that can determine life or death.

"So mysterious? I'll be waiting to see."

Nero did not ask any further questions.

Everyone has their own secrets.
