"In addition, the City of Waves promised us some ships, but if we want to reach Laemia on the east coast from the west coast, these ships need to go around the entire land. I don't think we can use these ships."

"It should be enough for Lahmia's fleet to provide us with logistical support."

As he said that, the grand vizier looked at his king with a smile, which almost made his king smile too.

"Finally, there are still some infantry who have not arrived. Your mage has confirmed that it will take some time, maybe two hours."

Alkadiza frowned.

"There are still infantry that haven't arrived? Which legion is it?"

Seeing the expression on the king's face, the grand vizier's smile became even brighter.

"The best legion, your father's Astri legion. Your father personally leads the army. This may be the only king other than you who personally conquers."

Just as the Grand Vizier said, Astri's legions waited for three full hours before finding the assembly camp in the darkness, following the night lights of Lahmia and the fluorescent lilies along the road.

As soon as the old king entered the royal tent in Khemuli, the attendants beside him, his brother Kunti and his nephew started to complain.

"We only have one week. It's too hasty, boy. Without a detailed plan, even if we carry out emergency mobilization, I can only bring 3,000 armored troops and about 6,000 cavalry."

"Even if we add in those ordinary phalanx soldiers and light infantry, our strength is just over 10,000 and less than 20,000."

Alkadiza shook her head helplessly.

"The time for this expedition was not designated by me. It was the Slann Demon Priest of the Lizardmen. He saw the dangers of the usurper in the prophecy. We must expedition north as soon as possible."

Seeing that his father wanted to say something, Alkadiza directly blocked his mouth.

"I have seen Slan's magic power. It is more powerful than the magic power of Hasa's Bride, who is still protected by Hasa, and Hasa's Bride is already able to make sufficiently accurate predictions."

"But we can't let them take the lead. What's more, if we are given three more weeks to mobilize, how much will it delay?"

"The power of the lizard people is enough to move mountains and reclaim seas. I heard from them that the mountains over there can move north and south, which is the result of the spell cast by their Slann priests."

"You will suffer a loss if you always trust outsiders like this."

The uncle and nephew soon started arguing. Although both sides presented many arguments, in the end no one could convince the other.

When the two were about to take a sip of water and continue their debate, suddenly, a golden light at night, as bright as day, erupted from the river bank.

After walking out of the camp, on the river bank filled with golden light, a lizard man who was far stronger than the skink lizards and covered with thick scales and spikes appeared. After thinking about it for a long time, Alkadiza realized that he was related to this kind of lizard man.

Just a chance encounter.

"Thoroz? Didn't you say that they are rare temple guards?"

The Skink Priest outside Akadizara's tent asked. Before the Skink could answer, the floating stone slab that followed automatically explained the answer.

Before King Khemri heard a grunt from Slann, he saw the Skink beside him nodding frequently as if he understood something, standing up and shouting loudly in Nehekhara.

"The troops have been assembled and will go out tomorrow."

Without waiting for more lizardmen to spread the order, Alkadiza quickly ran towards the floating stone seat.

"Wait a minute, noble Lord Colermo, Neferata of Lahmia, how is the Daughter of the Sun you are repairing? How long will it take to come out?"

Aden Horu rubbed his temples angrily, trying to lower his blood pressure to avoid being mad at his son.

It's just that Neferata's question has been held in her heart for too long. Now that Slan has finally come out, of course Alkadiza must ask clearly.

Silan looked into Alkadiza's eyes for a while, then muttered, speaking in a language that Alkadiza could not understand at all, and immediately turned to the Skink Priest for help.

"The ritual of the Daughter of the Sun still takes time. Lord Colermo has left a skink priest to take care of and maintain the ritual. In 137 days, the sacred contract with the god will be reshaped and completed."

"Now, we need to stop that dead hot-blooded species first."

A large group of shadows appeared around Slan, and the sturdy lizard man Thoros, who was more than two meters tall, immediately put on a fighting attitude, but the owner of the shadow obviously had no intention of fighting.

The vampire revealed his true face and said to the Nehekhara people and Alkadiza who were waking up to watch the excitement.

"Laemia's government affairs are temporarily handled by me. I am her cousin and a member of the royal family."

As he spoke, a burst of green smoke swept him and Alkadiza into the royal tent.

As soon as he escaped from the dull shadow curtain, Alkadiza immediately asked.

"I have no doubts about you acting as an agent for government affairs, but if you stay behind, can the midnight nobles still participate in the war?"

"Actually, I suggest that all midnight dignitaries not join the war."

Wu Suoran's expression suddenly became serious.

"Our elixir of life comes from the usurper. If something goes wrong on the battlefield, it will be great fun."

"When did you care so much about risks? Your physical manipulation experiments have always been risky for you."

Faced with Alkadiza's joke, Wu Suoran shook his head.

"This is different, different, and..."

His head turned to the lizard man over there, and his tone even revealed a bit of sadness that surprised Alkadiza.

"I have studied them a little more carefully these days. The ancient saints created the lizard people. They are so powerful, but they still make the country they created almost disorderly, and in the end, they are almost bound to fail."

"As powerful as they are, will Nehekhara also have such a day?"

"Maybe even Nehekhara can't catch up with them."

Wu Suoran's tone became more and more melancholy, and he was silent for almost three minutes before he raised his head again and reluctantly made a relieved expression.

"However, I have figured it out. Survival is the most important thing, more important than anything else."

Alkadiza nodded and asked.

"In other words, you can only stay in Laemia?"

"It's not certain, Wosolun might go on an expedition."

"Wasolan?"

Only then did Alkadiza remember that he had not seen him for a while, the necromancer who had turned into a zombie.

Near the west gate of Lahmia, in a newly built simple warehouse made of large pieces of cloth, the Necromancer is indeed doing something special.

The sound like a broken bellows was struggling to spread around, like a balloon with no way to repair the leak.

"We will set out at sunrise tomorrow. We must take off before then, inflate the air bags and preheat the steam engine."

"The steam scorpion also needs to start to warm up. Whether we are loading it on a ship or letting it swim over, it has to start moving."

"There is no need to preheat the skybox. How fast can a hot air balloon flap with its wings? Hurry up and load them into the carriage!"

Vosolun's orders were issued one after another, but none of Lybaras's engineers were dissatisfied and started working with full energy.

On top of the magic circle constructed with the technology given by the lizard people, the gas in a jar is becoming lighter and lighter by magic, and will eventually be far lighter than air. Then these gases will be poured into Tianzhou's air bag.

Finally, the entire Tianzhou flew.

This is the only successful work.

Wosolun used the simplest lightening spell to lighten the air, but it only made the "lightness" of the air and the magic power that remained in the air completely lost.

Finally, he changed his mind and changed the magic circle into an alchemical magic circle, converting air into the lightest air, so he got this kind of air that can burn, but is very light.

The simple products of alchemy can last forever, so the problem of how to make the sky boat fly again is relatively perfectly solved.

They were so busy that dawn appeared on the horizon, and the engineers who had not slept all night finally made their creations move.

The machine on the back of the Steam Scorpion began to emit smoke, causing this weird giant scorpion to walk towards the seaside.

The progress of Tianzhou is also gratifying, and two more Tianzhou have already flown in the sky.

The troops of the Nehekhara kingdoms were shocked to see these things that they had never seen before, especially the emblems belonging to Lybaras and Lahmia.

However, soon, their attention was attracted by another scenery further along the coast.

Alkadiza could clearly feel the heavy mana gathering on the coast. Several hours had passed since he saw the giant spiritual network tightly connected to the floating stone slab, but the people of Nehekhara didn't know that yet.

What does it mean?

But suddenly, Lord Colermo opened his eyes.

A scene that horrified the mortals of Nehekhara happened. The toad sitting on the stone slab raised its slippery and soft claws, and the light of magic flashed gently in front of him.

The sight in front of them made all the Nehekhara people stunned, and only a few people shouted.
