Your war hammer is too fake

"Continue explaining the situation," Morgan turned his head away angrily, not wanting to look at Irel, "What's next?"

"Judging from the enemy's speed and current route, they will be within our interception range in 50 hours," the forest lord said dryly. "Besides, Fendal said that many flying beast tribes are willing to fight alongside us, including those whose territories have not yet been invaded. By the time Fendal set out, the giant eagles had managed to persuade two griffin families, escaped pterosaurs, and a group of beaked dragons to join us."

Damn capable, the Kaldorei girl thought. The Giant Eagle allies of the Crucible King's Court were naturally system units, but the subjective initiative of these system units far exceeded Morgan's imagination.

"I heard something went wrong with the brine tanks for the Carrion Vultures?" asked the Kaldorei girl.

"The exorcism effect of the 'cursed salt' is much stronger than we thought, Your Majesty," a spellcaster in charge of this matter replied, "Even if we have sealed the jar as much as possible, the sacred energy emitted by these blessed salts will still affect the undead raptors that serve as carriers."

The plan to replace the bombs on the carrion vultures with cans of salt water failed at the first step: although the cursed salt would not burn the carrion vultures through the cans, all the rotten feather birds that had cans of salt water stuffed into their bodies became weak without exception, and those in serious condition could not even stand up.

"Give the saltwater jars to the pterosaurs and have them throw them. They're good at it," Morgan said. "On the bright side, at least the cursed salt is really powerful... Tsk."

"Fendal's people will communicate with the pterosaurs and persuade them to fight according to the tactics we have arranged," the forest lord took over the conversation, "and tell them not to try to take the giant eagle's eggs... these little bad guys!"

"By comparison, the Beaktooth Dragon is much simpler," An Jiyue said, "Let the Deep Forest Scouts find a way to capture a few Lustria Swollen Toads (Note 3), and then throw them into the Chaos Nest. I have a feeling that the enemy will not only attack from the air, but also be prepared to withstand heavy pressure on the ground battlefield."

"Do as she asks," Morgan said, "although I feel like it may be too late to catch the toad now."

"After all, we didn't know that there would be a group of beaked dragons coming to help," An Jiyue shrugged, "and the most important thing should be the griffins... Speaking of which, don't you have any griffin mounts?"

"At least not in my memory," Morgan shook his head. "Maybe it's because we've lived here for too short a time. By the way, are there any unusual movements by the manticores and wyverns in the mountains? Especially the former."

The World's Edge Mountains are home to a wide variety of beasts, both in number and variety. Among them, the most common flying beasts are mainly three types: griffins, manticores, and wyverns. Unlike the noble griffins, the latter two belong to the outright evil camp, especially the manticores.

"There has been no change in the situation with the wyverns. These stupid lizards have always been slow," the forest lord replied. "As for the manticores, they seem to have had a conflict with something recently and suffered heavy losses."

"No one can live in peace in a world like this~ Although the Scorpion-tailed Lions don't want peace anyway," Morgan said dimly, "Since the enemy's movements are clear, these disgusting rotten bugs can't even think of setting foot in our home! Letting the enemy in to fight is tactically beneficial to our army. I don't feel bad about those jars and pots, but I still decided to intercept the enemy before they enter the Forest Shade Territory."

At this point, Morgan glanced at An Jiyue. Seeing the Jiedushi nodded slightly at her, King Changqing continued, "As long as it is meaningful, no matter how big the sacrifice is, it is not terrible! If we can't do it, it's fine. If we obviously have the ability to keep the enemy out of the country but don't do it, what's the point of spending so much money to build an army?"

"Call all forest guards! Let our people prepare to defend their homeland. Since the Ark of the Plague is a mobile incubator, we must be prepared to let the ground forces independently deal with possible invasions from land when the air force is engaged. For this reason, the standing army of the royal court must also be mobilized, but the troops should not be dispersed. The main force of the army must be assembled at key points and be prepared to attack at any time to support all parties."

"The flying fleet can set off," Morgan said, looking at Yrel. "You don't have to hide your whereabouts. Instead, I want you to appear in front of the enemy openly. Our fleet has an absolute advantage in mobility, and we have the tactical initiative in our hands. You just need to let the stink bugs of the stagnant sky see you, and then hold them back to contain them."

“What are the rules of engagement, Lord?” Yrel asked.

"Protecting our home is our top priority. The Plague Ark is too slow. Once discovered, it will be almost impossible for it to escape our fleet's pursuit. Therefore, there is no need to rush to destroy it." The Evergreen King put his left hand on his waist and his right hand on the table. "There are plenty of opportunities to win honor. Don't let one-sided gains and losses cloud your judgment."

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Yrel lowered his head slightly.

"Actually, there is something I am very concerned about," An Jiyue said after the two of them finished speaking, "How many of the infected arks have we confirmed the movements of so far? And...how many incubation facilities have been destroyed?"

"Six," Morgan was shocked. "We destroyed three of them. One was suspected to be destroyed by the Tzeentch faction. The southern lizardmen also managed to destroy two. However, the Ark of the Plague in one of the incubation facilities had already been hatched before the lizardmen attacked. The situation of the seventh incubation facility is unknown. It is too far away from us and has exceeded the maximum detection range of the Sky Knights. Only warships can reach such a distant location... It is probably too late to send a ship to take a look now."

"Where did you get the information about the actions of the Southern Lizardmen and their achievements?" An Jiyue asked, "It seems that we haven't had direct contact with those cold-blooded species yet?"

Morgan did not answer verbally, but instead turned his gaze to his good friend Nayes beside him.

"Well, it's convenient to have a powerful prophet," An Jiuyue looked at the map and thought, "Ah Lizard's actions were a step slow after all. Three infected arks in one incubation facility have already hatched... But this can't be blamed on them. They have fallen to the point where they rely on the spirit lizards as the main force. It's already quite good to have such a result."

"Are you worried that the plague ark in the last incubation facility has also been hatched?" Morgan asked.

"With the firepower of our fleet, it's already very difficult to deal with three Plague Arks," An Jiyue nodded. "If there are three more, it will be impossible to control the battlefield outside of the Forest Territory. Although the Nurgle faction is not as famous for playing tricks as the Tzeentch faction, they are not incapable of playing dirty. Although the Plague Arks are slow, they are not too slow. It is entirely possible to bypass the heavily fortified front battlefield and break in from other directions."

“The manticores in the mountains are engaged in battle with some enemy,” Yrel said suddenly. “Could it be them?”

"There is too little intelligence for me to make a judgment. And I don't think the rotten bugs will go around from the side of the World's Edge Mountains. Don't forget that the Giant Eagles' territory is in the mountains, and the Giant Eagles are well known for their vigilance," An Jiuyue crossed her arms, "The speed of the Plague Ark makes it impossible for them to achieve tactical surprise, unless the rotten bugs are sure to quietly eliminate the Giant Eagles and prevent them from passing on intelligence to us."

A giant eagle present once again made the sounds of "ying!" and "ying!"

"Fendal said that this is impossible," the Forest Lord translated, "There are many creatures in this world that can defeat the Giant Eagle, but no creature that can sneak attack the Giant Eagle has been born yet."

"Don't be so sure," An Jiyue said with a smile, "In front of magic, nothing is truly impossible. I have mastered more than one spell that can turn the most alert giant eagle into a blind man with open eyes."

"Hey!"

"Fendal said witchcraft is cheating and doesn't count."

This time An Jiyue really laughed out loud, and laughed so hard that her body shook. "In short, it is too difficult to make a detour from the side of the World's Edge Mountains. The Nurgle faction is not like the Tzeentch faction to do some extreme tightrope walking operations." After laughing for a while, the governor rubbed his face and restrained his smile. "Even if they break the rules and do this, it will be useless. I have just dispatched a Meko Vigilant to the east of the Forest Shadow Territory to perform a warning mission."

"Just now?" Morgan blinked. "How did you give the order? I remember that after the initial start-up period, the Aurora instructors and Mohists sent to the Wester Air Force returned to Sanhe Prefecture one after another. Now there are no system units of your family on those Meko-class ships. Did you send someone to give the order before you came to the meeting?"

"There are followers of Ishamara in the West Territory Air Force," An Jiyue said concisely, "and there are more than one."

Hearing this, Morgan was shocked and asked, "Can you control half of your body?"

"No. But since I temporarily switched to Ishamara mode and chopped off the plague pig's palm underground some time ago, some simple functions have been available, such as issuing oracles," An Jiyue replied, "Haven't I compiled a set of rules and regulations for the Mechanicus recently? I was originally planning to use psychic power or dream magic, but it wasn't until yesterday that I realized that it didn't need to be so troublesome at all. I can just use the oracle to pour the information into Cawl's brain."

"…Are you sure this won't mess up your chosen one's brain?"

"You also said that Kaur was my divine choice as 'Ishamara', so the answer is no."

"Tsk... When exactly will everyone be able to master similar abilities? We are all Outer Gods, right? I don't think I'm that special, at least not as special as you."

"Anyway, it's much easier for me to issue oracles to believers than other gods in this world. The most annoying thing about Warhammer, whether it's Medieval or 40K, is that it's very troublesome for gods to convey information to believers. Even in a world where there are gods, there is still a concept of 'heresy' that should only exist in religions in a godless world. Fortunately, we don't have this problem, at least I don't. I can even issue oracles to ordinary believers, and I can ensure that the information is accurately conveyed."

"Your Excellencies," Nayes suddenly said, "We may have strayed from the topic."

"Ahem..." Morgan turned her head away a little embarrassedly. Just as she was about to say something, the elf's keen hearing allowed her to catch the sound of hurried footsteps.

"I'm sorry to bother you at this time, Your Majesty," a maid of honor came over hurriedly, "Just now, an unusual messenger visited your kingdom. It claims to be from Zetland."

"Zetland?" Morgan was stunned for a moment. "I remember Xiao An told me that place seems to be the largest temple city of the Lizardmen in the Southland... Hmm? Lizardmen?"

The two masters of the Holy Scripture looked at each other. "Please ask the messenger to come in," Morgan said immediately, "Right now!"

……

Note 1: The setting of the Warhammer Giant Eagle is obviously inspired by the Giant Eagle in The Lord of the Rings, which is actually an intelligent race, but cannot use tools due to its body structure.

Note 2: Pterosaurs have a rather bad habit of snatching eggs from other creatures' nests. Some eggs have too thick shells for pterosaurs to peck at, so they will grab the eggs and throw them down from the air to smash them open. The stone throwing skill of the pterosaur riders in the game is the result of the lizardmen taking advantage of this habit.

Note 3: A large purple toad, about the size of a large dog. This thing likes to eat the eggs of the Rhacodon, so when the Rhacodon sees this thing, it will automatically turn red, and then rush over madly to kill everything that is not a friendly force.

The author says:

Author's words: Two chapters in one. National Day is a holiday for others, but for me it means overtime... (paralysis

Answer to the reader "Milk Maoyu":

On the one hand, Nurgle's corruption will enhance the receptor's tolerance to rotten, spoiled and poisonous food; on the other hand, Nurgle's corruption itself will cause food to rot and spoil, and produce some lively things. As a result, the inherent defects of the Chaos Hive are not completely solved.

Chapter 482 Negotiation

The people gathered in the meeting room dispersed.

The sole master of the Crucified Wood Court has made the decision, so the next step for the entire court is to implement her will: the construction of Torch Harbor will not be stopped, on the contrary, it will receive more reinforcements to strengthen its defense; all forest guards will be mobilized to defend the place as blood war groups. In terms of the tradition of Warhammer elves (regardless of which kind) that all people are soldiers, almost half of the population of Kaldorei will become available troops.

Although Morgan himself has made the decision to keep the enemy out of the country, some villages in the southern part of Linyin Territory will be evacuated urgently just in case. Even if the homeland is destroyed by war, it can be rebuilt. Living compatriots are the most important.

The flying fleet assembled at Torch Harbor had already set out the moment they received the latest movement of the Ark of the Plague, along with hundreds of carrion vultures with bombs installed in their chests. As the fleet commander recognized by the two Lords of the Holy Scriptures, Yrel would wait for their arrival in Tal-O-Tur. Although the capital of the Kaldorei did not have the conditions required to maintain the long-term operation of the fleet, it was still no problem for simple takeoff and landing.

"At the fleet's cruising speed, they will arrive here in 19 hours," An Jiyue said during the brief interval while waiting for the attendant to bring the messenger over, "and they will bring the first batch of prototypes with them."

"Prototype?" Morgan turned his head and looked over: "What prototype?"

"You forgot the commission you gave me, didn't you? The point is, it's only been a few days." The Jiedushi rolled his eyes at the Evergreen King. "It was the Army Artillery Project. You wanted to build a youth version of the Guncannon at first, but I scolded you and changed it to a suspended self-propelled artillery. Should we say this is what is called a natural outcome? After all the prerequisite technologies were developed, some things were naturally built."

As one of the two great Jiba in the chat group, not only can they replace N design bureaus, but their research speed is also abnormally fast. For the Kingfisher-class and Swift-class frigates, An Jiyue produced the design drawings in about a month; Morgan spent more time designing the Eclipse-class, but it was only half a month longer. In a way, this is even more terrifying than their combat power as T0-class legendary lords.

"Levitation... You've managed to complete the levitation chassis so quickly? And how did you solve the energy supply problem? Although the Hun Tian furnace can be made very small, the cost is probably not enough to install it on a vehicle of this level." As a professional, Morgan naturally knew how technically difficult his commission was. "The energy storage pool cannot possibly support the energy consumption of the light spear."

An's Zhendan presents an extreme polarization phenomenon in energy technology: the high-end Hun Tian furnace has no disadvantages except high price and difficulty in manufacturing. It can directly draw energy from the subspace, and not only has stable output but also extremely high power; the low-end storage pool has a simple structure and is extremely cheap. The disadvantage is that this thing absorbs free magic wind from the working environment on-site. Not only is the overall efficiency low, but it will also be affected by changes in "wind force".

When the Wind of Magic is high, the Energy Reservoir can naturally provide a steady stream of surging energy; but if the activity of the Wind of Magic becomes low, the Energy Reservoir will also shut down.

Among the mechanical beasts of Anshi Zhendan, except for some special models that are not mass-produced, only the national guardian gold man and the mechanical dragon use the celestial furnace for energy. Whether it is the mechanical pigeon used to deliver messages or the heavy and huge stone lion, all use the energy storage pool. At present, among all the existing flying ships, only the "ship" level ships are equipped with the celestial furnace, and all kinds of "boats" can only use the cheap energy storage pool.

Since it was originally designed as an energy source for the national guardian gold man, the size of the Hun Tian furnace can be made very small, at least it can be stuffed into a normal-sized self-propelled artillery. The problem is that with the high cost of the Hun Tian furnace, it is not even possible for a flying gunboat of more than 100 tons, so how can a self-propelled artillery of more than 10 tons use such an expensive thing? However, if it only relies on the energy storage pool, it is impossible to support the energy consumption of the light spear.

Facing Morgan's question, An Jiyue said frankly: "It's psychic energy. I added psychic energy."

There was one thing that An Jiyue had never understood. Although they were a race that relied heavily on magic, the Kaldorei were extremely distrustful of psionics, a system of spellcasting that was independent of magic. In stark contrast, the dwarves, who were known for their aversion to magic, accepted psionics very smoothly. Even after An Jiyue gained the loyalty of the Faceless Men, the elders of the Council of Ancestors were already discussing whether to train psionics for the dwarves.

Of course, the Kaldorei are considered good. The attitude of the Kaldorei is "never use psychic power unless necessary", while the Imperials, or more precisely, the Westers, have a view on psychic power that is "absolutely unacceptable". They refuse to use any psychic technology, even if they can't find a non-psychic alternative.

An Jiyue couldn't understand Kaldorei's view on psychic power, and sometimes she even got annoyed by this prejudice. Especially when she accepted the commission from Morgan and found that almost all technical problems could be solved with psychic power, Kaldorei's stubborn attitude as always made the girl angry at them, which was rare.

"At the time I scolded them for being hypocritical and pretentious," Jiedushi said. "I asked them, if they didn't trust psychic energy so much, why didn't they just destroy the communication matrix? Isn't it quite convenient to use it?"

Magic can certainly communicate over long distances, and communication equipment can be made very cheap, but there is a problem with magic communication, which is that it will inevitably be directly affected by the activities of the Wind of Magic. For example, in places like the Polar Wasteland, magic communication will inevitably be greatly disturbed. If a magic storm occurs, most magic-based communication methods will fail, just like the standard routine of the 40K studio next door, where a storm blew up in the subspace, the astropath died suddenly, and the reinforcements were blocked from outside.

Although the Faceless Men's psychic communication matrix is ​​a bit expensive and takes up precious organic crystal (Note 1) production capacity, it is highly resistant to interference and can maintain a minimum level of effective communication even in a magic storm. It can be said that based on this alone, the psychic communication matrix is ​​already superior to any magic communication.

After recruiting the Faceless, An Jiyue, who had obtained a full set of technology, improved the Faceless's original design so that non-psychics could also use the communication matrix. Subsequently, this new communication equipment was not only installed on the flying ship, but also quickly spread in all the territories of the Lord of the Holy Scripture except West Territory.

There is no way. If the Kaldorei use it reluctantly, then the Imperials are determined not to use it no matter what. Fortunately, this situation has finally loosened up a little recently. After the birth of the second machine soul, the Mechanicus, with a comparison reference, finally realized that the machine soul seems to, probably, maybe, possibly, use psionics?

So far, except for West Territory, the important bases of the Lords of the Holy Scripture have built communication stations based on the psychic communication matrix, which greatly improved the efficiency of information exchange between each other. For example, under the rule of the Zhemu King's Court, Tal O'Qil and Juhui Port already have communication stations, and are preparing to build more communication stations.

"They told me that they have gathered hundreds of spell weavers and spellcasters to study how to use magic machinery to replace the psychic communication matrix," the alchemist girl spread her hands in embarrassment. "They said that more manpower and funds will be invested in this project in the future. As long as there are decisive results, they will immediately replace the existing equipment."

"...The manpower is fine, but where do they get the funding? I don't remember approving such a weird research project."

"We got sponsorship from the nobles. In fact, the Kaldorei mages involved in this project invested a lot of money themselves," An Jiyue said, rubbing his brows. "Anyway, I have nothing to say to them. I'm getting off topic. Anyway, I get angry when I hear this kind of talk, so I slightly modified the design requirements... cough."

"Just tell me," Morgan said. "What on earth did you build?"

"I replaced the light spear with a projectile cannon," An Jiyue turned her head away guiltily, "I also deliberately replaced the levitation function that I was originally planning to achieve with a magic machine with a psychic device... Well, at least there will be no problem with the performance..."

Under the expressionless gaze of the Evergreen King, the Jiedushi's voice gradually became lower. Sighing, Morgan said helplessly: "Thinking carefully, a weapon like the Light Spear, which consumes a lot of energy and has low lethality, may not be suitable for installation on a vehicle. At least our current technology level has not reached that level yet."

An Jiyue whispered: "But we don't have any other suitable weapons in our technical reserves."

"Let's leave it at that for now. We'll just use the prototype for now, and we'll consider what to do in the future after the war is over." Morgan looked toward the corridor leading to the meeting room and said, "Here we go."

Escorted by several Evergreen Guards, the messenger, wearing a gorgeous feather crown on his head and golden armbands on his upper arms, came before the two Lords of the Holy Scriptures. His big, moist eyes moved flexibly, taking in everything he saw.

An Jiyue immediately identified the identity and magic system of a Heavenly Lizard Priest. Unlike the Magic Toads who were proficient in the Eight Winds Magic and advanced magic, the Lizard Priests were not only incomparable to their masters in terms of magic power, but also had only two magic systems available: Heavenly and Beast. The magic talent of this subspecies of lizardmen was comparable to that of humans, and the only advantage was that they had no side effects when using magic.

The Skin Lizard Priest opened his mouth full of tiny fangs and uttered a long string of syllables. Before Morgan could speak, An Jiyue translated, "It requires our army to go to the location they designated immediately. Its master, Lord Kigar, will teleport them to the place where they are most needed."

Morgan was stunned. "What the hell? It came up and gave me orders? Who is it?!"

"The biological weapons created by the ancient saints are like this. Don't expect the lizardmen to have normal communication skills," An Jiyue shrugged nonchalantly. "The way of thinking of cold-blooded people is completely different from ours."

“No matter how different they are, they can’t be so awesome. I have no affiliation with them!” Morgan glared at the messenger assigned to deliver the message with a stern expression, “Tell it that it and its master have no right to give me orders.”

An Jiyue then translated this sentence into the holy language of the lizardmen. Compared with the skin lizard priest, her speaking speed was obviously slower. Hearing An Jiyue's words, the messenger blinked first. The next moment, its eyes radiated golden light, and its tone became deep and rich: "(Kazarid) Hot-blooded, this is your innate obligation as a young race."

"(Kazarid) So, you are Kigal?" Morgan also switched to the dwarven language. For some reason, it seems that all the races in the Southland can speak dwarven, even the Faceless and the Nest Clan.

"The new followers of the Plague God are fleeing the Southland," said the Priest of the Toad, whose real body was unknown, through the mouth of the Skink Priest. "In addition to the three giant worms approaching your territory, the other three are flying towards the Antarctic wasteland. Your cousins ​​will try to stop them, but their actions are doomed to fail. Now, only you can stop it all."

"That thing is called the Plague Ark," Morgan said, "and what does cousin mean?"

"The elves who live in the southernmost part of the Southland, other young races call them 'high elves'," Kigal replied, "They have the help of dragons, but that is far from enough. As long as one Plague Ark successfully escapes to the Antarctic wasteland, they will return with an overwhelming number of Plague Arks in the future and devour everything left by the Old Saints."

"What an exciting speech," King Evergreen said, clapping his hands a few times, "but there seems to be a small problem here. We cannot be predicted. Even the Lord of Change cannot predict our fate. How did you find us?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze. Upon hearing this, the Evergreen Guards standing guard around the meeting room subconsciously tightened their spears and sword handles. Further away, the Deep Forest Scouts silently drew their arrows and put them on their longbows.

"The stars guided my soul to this place," Kigal said, unaware of the change in atmosphere. "In my foresight, this should have been a wilderness where only wild beasts roamed, but this is not the case."

Hearing this, Morgan turned his head to the side and asked in his true native language: "Tzeentch?"

"It must be Tzeentch. The only one who has the ability and motivation to do this is the blue-haired cuckoo chicken," An Jiuyue nodded. "From what it said, it must have discovered some anomalies when observing the stars, and then used its soul to visit your territory in advance... and then the current scene happened. Although Tzeentch cannot predict our actions, he has enough information, and he has many ways to indirectly obtain certain key intelligence."

"After getting used to relying on prophecies to easily obtain all kinds of information, he must be very unhappy now if he is suddenly asked to use traditional methods to obtain intelligence."

"It's okay. As long as the plan of our mortal enemy Nurgle fails, Tzeentch will be happy."

After exchanging a few words in his native language, Morgan switched back to Khazarid. "I already know your intention, but I cannot accept your request. Intercepting the Plague Arks requires a very strong air force, but our air force is already struggling just to deal with the three approaching Plague Arks. Your suggestion is good, but it cannot be done."

"The consequences of allowing them to escape are unbearable, hotbloods. The eldest and younger races must stop this, no matter what the cost."

"Everyone can talk about the truth, but objective difficulties cannot be solved by just talking. I know something about your race. I know that you magic toads have the ability of large-scale teleportation. You can cross thousands of miles in an instant and send my army to the escape route of the other three plague arks. Then what? What else can we do then? Ram the ship into it? I've already told you that it's already difficult to defeat the three-headed bugs that are approaching our home!"

"Your shortsightedness will cause your followers to shed more blood in the future."

"I have plenty of land forces. If things don't work, I can get some reinforcements from my allies!" Morgan was a little impatient after just a few words: "But we only have so many air forces. If we lose some, we won't be able to replenish them in a short time!"

After saying that, King Evergreen was about to order the messenger to be thrown out when he heard the messenger say, "We don't need the air force for this operation. We just need someone to assist in the defense on the ground so that the dragon allies of the high elves can focus on dealing with the Ark of the Plague."

Morgan fell silent. Morgan's expression began to twist.

"...If there is a next time, remember to finish your words all at once," the Kaldorei girl gritted her teeth and said, "I can squeeze out 20,000 land forces, and if we grit our teeth, we should be able to get 10,000 from Plateau Castle."

Plateau Hold has a strong military force, but the existence of the Reforged Triangle requires the people of Barel to leave a considerable number of troops to defend their homes at all times. Especially recently, the Underworld was first ravaged by Nurgle's corruption and was finally purified. In order to prevent the Chaos Hive from getting involved in the Underworld again, Plateau Hold has made large-scale mobilizations. The dwarves are now seizing the time to occupy the caves at the top of the Underworld and find and destroy any passages leading to the surface.

The job required a lot of manpower, so Fort Plateau could not provide much reinforcement.

"According to my calculations," the courier blinked, "enough. When will you set out?"

"Twenty hours. It will take some time for the dwarves from Highland Castle to arrive," Morgan said unhappily. "I will assign the person I trust most to command this reinforcement. Where is the assembly point?"
