Riley followed behind Rhett and looked at the sky in surprise. At this time, the scarlet meteor had disappeared.
Rhett was also puzzled. There had never been the concept of meteors in this world, so where did the scarlet light come from?
Faced with this strange sign, Rhett ordered the army to stay where they were temporarily while he himself observed the night sky.
But when the night was halfway through, the meteor never appeared again, and the search operation in the second half of the night also did not yield much, except for capturing a few night owl scouts.
Of course, another important mission of this outing was also successfully completed - unfortunately, a soldier was sacrificed, that is, Mir Flynn, who was possessed by Mingge.
In fact, Minge just left the team halfway, took a special alchemical potion, adjusted his appearance, and returned to the barracks under the escort of people arranged in advance by Pettis.
The next day, dawn.
Rhett continued to lead the team in the search, but he made an unusual discovery: the number of orcs seemed to have decreased a lot?
According to Pettis's estimation, the Orcs' strength has greatly increased, and the power of the Shadow Tigers and Violent Bears has skyrocketed. They should not be very peaceful. Why would they hide in the rear so obediently?
Fearing that the orcs were planning a major move, Rhett's strategy became bolder for the next morning. He dispersed his troops and tried to increase the efficiency of intelligence gathering, even if it reduced some security.
However, it was afternoon.
Instead of receiving any information about the orcs, Rhett received an emergency notice from the commander-in-chief of the Ice Castle.
I saw a wind-type sky knight riding a storm eagle, shooting from the sky like a long green rainbow, and stopping just above Rhett's army.
The figure on the back of the Storm Eagle was quite strong, like a small iron tower mountain. He was holding a broad-handled sword and jumped down from the eagle's back.
"Dagula, long time no see!" The sturdy man waved his hand and smiled brightly.
Rhett smiled back and recalled the information he had gathered from his three sons in his mind, mentioning that the other party should be a member of the commander-in-chief's elite escort, because the Sky Knight riding the Storm Eagle was unique in the entire glacier defense line.
He stepped forward and said, "Koala, it's been a long time since we last met. But let's not waste time talking. It seems that you came here in a hurry. You must be here to pass on important information?"
Koala nodded, restrained his smile, and said solemnly without any polite words, "Indeed, there is a major emergency - the Far North has been occupied by a group of unfamiliar forces, and this force does not seem to belong to any force on the continent."
"The orcs are the ones who reacted most violently. They are furious and their actions show that they have gathered their strength and are launching an attack on the Far North at all costs."
"After all, the new group of people has not yet established a firm foothold. If we wait until they have completely taken root, it will be very difficult for the orcs to fight for them. We must launch a fierce battle for them now."
Upon hearing the news, Rhett's pupils shrank slightly. A group of strangers came to the Far North. The first thing that came to his mind was the predecessor of the Ice Kingdom.
He pretended to be shocked and asked quickly, "Is there any holy land among these people?"
"Of course, there was a strong Saint, otherwise the orcs wouldn't have mobilized so many troops." Koala shook his head. "In my opinion, this accident was just a fuse. The orcs have been accumulating strength to make a big move, and the situation in the Far North just happened to touch the orcs' nerves, giving them a suitable excuse."
Lei Te narrowed his eyes slightly, "So...what does the commander-in-chief mean?"
"We will fully support the Ice Kingdom. Anyway, we have no interest in occupying that barren place. As long as the orcs are not allowed to occupy it, it doesn't matter who occupies it!" Koala sneered and punched Rhett's chest with his fist: "What you may face next may be the Hundred Saints War. You must be mentally prepared for this. It's best to prepare a suicide note in advance."
Lei Te suddenly fell silent, "When do we leave?"
"Don't be so serious. This is not like your usual self." Koala was just joking. Seeing Leiter's serious reaction, he looked at Leiter in surprise and said casually, "Don't worry. It's not that serious. With your and my level, we should just watch the battle from a distance. It's impossible to send us to the center of the battle vortex. At most, if our sanctuary wins, we will be responsible for logistics and handle some chores. If we lose, we will hand over that piece of land to others."
Lei Te's mouth twitched. Knowing that his attitude just now might not be in line with his personality, he tried to relax a little and said:
"You may not know that a large number of strong men from the Violent Bear and Shadow Tiger groups suddenly appeared. I am worried whether this operation will be affected by this."
Koala was stunned for a moment and scratched his head. "Well, you are very thoughtful. I just learned about this situation. It is indeed a headache, but we can only follow the plan above and take it one step at a time. As for you, the tentative plan is to set off in two days. The Akama Kingdom has a well-developed shipping industry. By then, a large number of long-distance ships will arrive at the coast, carrying the troops of the glacier defense line."
"What about you? You should set off now." Rhett set his eyes on the feathers of the Storm Eagle.
Koala laughed, "Of course, my good friend is much more powerful than the ship, there is no need to wait here."
"You...be careful." Rhett punched Koala in the chest.
"Haha, you too!"
The two chatted briefly, and then Rhett watched Koala fly away quickly on the Storm Eagle.
It wasn't until it turned into a black dot and disappeared into the sky that Lei Te retracted his gaze and looked at the dark ground and fell into thought:
"The development of the matter is somewhat beyond my expectations. It seems that the rise of the Murloc Kingdom is quite rapid. It has already formed a certain scale and has driven the Ice Kingdom to the far north."
"The Ice Kingdom has a Saint, but it still ended up like this. You can imagine the strength of the Murloc Kingdom..."
Just as Leiter was thinking, someone patted Leiter on the back, and Ruilai asked in a low voice: "Since the orcs have changed their plans, then we..."
"Let's go back to the barracks first!" Rhett turned around, took a deep breath, and his expression calmed down again.
He led the team back to the military camp in a hurry and had a smooth journey.
Rhett rushed to the Ice Castle again, but Pettis was nowhere to be seen.
Only the Ice Castle secret agent was on the second floor, and he handed over the instructions left by Pettis before he left to Rhett.
As the deputy commander, Rhett worked in the lobby on the first floor. He sat in front of the sand table and scanned two pages of instructions.
The general meaning is that for the next two days, he will be fully responsible for the glacier defense line here. Of course, the list of people to be sent to the Far North two days later has already been finalized and distributed to various military camps. Rhett is mainly responsible for stabilizing the morale of the army and coordinating the army.
Rhett held his chin with one hand, stared at the sand table for a long time, sighed, as if he thought of something, closed his eyes and fell into a state of meditation.
At this moment, he once again felt the weakness of his strength, which brought him many inconveniences. If he could break through the Holy Domain earlier, he would be able to deal with many things with ease.
The mind is silent in the sea of spirit, and the barrier that suppresses the sea of spirit is familiar yet unfamiliar.
In unconscious meditation, the mental strength that should have grown tore through the extremely solid bottleneck again and again.
Under normal circumstances, this is indeed a slow and steady process that depends on personal talent and hard work to gradually resolve bottlenecks.
But for Rhett, he is the only top great magician in the world who has experience in breaking through the Sanctuary. He knows a shortcut that is not a shortcut, which may help him advance to the Sanctuary more quickly.
Under normal circumstances, the mental power gained from meditation is evenly dispersed in the sea of spirit. Because the capacity of the sea of spirit cannot be increased, the part that should have increased during each meditation will be converted into the elimination of the bottleneck.
This process was originally difficult to take shortcuts, but with the experience of a breakthrough, Rhett actually knew that the bottleneck of the Sanctuary was very different from other stages.
First of all, during the breakthrough process of the bottleneck of the Holy Land, one can never feel the progress, which means that the bottleneck of the Holy Land is always vast and deep.
Before that, from a magician to a mage, and then to a grand mage, every bottleneck he faced, every bit of effort he put in, and how much effort he had to put in before a breakthrough would always be something he had a rough idea of.
Therefore, the difficulty of the Sanctuary is not only a test of talent and effort, but also a test of mentality - before the breakthrough, it always feels like a fall from the sky.
But when Rhett chose this person, he could feel from a God's perspective that this person had actually pushed the bottleneck to an extreme, far exceeding the peak of any great magician. If the next holy domain would be born in the current world, it would definitely be Rhett himself.
During meditation, Lei Te's mental strength was unconsciously dissipating the bottleneck.
At this moment, under Rhett's experienced control, these mental powers were more concentrated, and the breakthrough was like being controlled by an invisible hand, specifically crashing into the relatively weak points of the bottleneck.
It can be felt that the speed of resolving the bottleneck has suddenly increased a lot under Rhett's magical control.
However.
After a day and a night.
The pressure around the spiritual sea is still deep and vast, as if there is no end in sight.
Lei Te opened his eyes and sighed inwardly. How much was this difference? Was it ten years, a year, or a month?
Now that we are about to go to sea, as the deputy commander of the battlefield, I can't practice alone.
Thinking that Mingge should have been assigned to the alchemy workshop at this time, Rhett became interested. After arranging his daily work, he left the ice castle and ran towards the alchemy workshop.
Not long after, they arrived at a large manor decorated with gears. There were dozens of castles in the manor, each of which was part of the alchemy workshop.
Just by scanning his face, Rhett easily came to the castle where Heisenberg was, and in the deepest secret room on the top floor, he saw Heisenberg wearing a black wizard robe... and Minge behind him.
In the entire alchemy laboratory, there are only these two people. Yes, only two people.
On the way upstairs, Rhett had already found out that ever since Mingge arrived and displayed his alchemy level comparable to that of a master alchemist with the strength of a fourth-level magician, Heisenberg had completely lost interest in knowing everyone else, and the entire alchemy workshop had no choice but to obey his weird temper.
Especially when Mingge followed Rhett's instructions, deliberately acted like a rebellious person, was proud of his short stature, and often "spoke wildly", he won Heisenberg's love.
As for how far the apprenticeship had progressed, Rhett had not heard from anyone else, so he decided to come and see for himself.
"Pietra, your alchemical rune engraving skills are quite poor. This is totally inconsistent with your knowledge of alchemy and alchemy. It seems that you are seriously unbalanced in one subject."
Heisenberg stood on a small stool, looked down at Minge, and scolded him in a shrill voice.
When Leiter came to the door, he turned his head and looked at him with a hint of surprise: "It's you? The one who created the magic of Cone Rain? I heard that it was you who sent Petra here?"
"You're too kind. Even without me, his talent would have been discovered sooner or later." Rhett smiled and pushed open the half-open door.
"Don't be modest. This will be the greatest thing you have ever done in your life. In the future, you will surely witness a myth - one of the world's top alchemists will train another top alchemist!" Heisenberg said proudly.
Lei Te resisted the urge to complain, tried to smile and agreed, and casually asked: "What about Timos, how does his alchemy level compare to yours?"
"Oh! No! Don't mention that old stubborn guy to me!" This casual remark seemed to anger Heisenberg all of a sudden. He screamed with a red face: "He will only lead alchemy to a dead end. Even if he has profound knowledge of alchemy, he can't make alchemy great again."
Leiter was surprised. It seemed that Heisenberg and Timothy were not on good terms? It seemed that they had some ideological differences...
"I'm very sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this topic." He coughed twice and said, "I heard that you are particularly good at the integration and innovation of alchemy and alchemy equipment and alchemy array. I wonder if you have any groundbreaking inventions in the field of healing injuries?"
Heisenberg raised his eyebrows:
"As expected of a genius who can create magic, the fact that you can ask this question is enough to show that you have a unique way of thinking."
"That's right. Theoretically, the fusion of the three should be able to maximize the healing ability, which is several times stronger than the effect of only medicine. This is also one of the directions of my current research, but no results have been achieved yet."
"However, the research on alchemical equipment and fusion alchemical arrays has just reached a bottleneck. I am also trying to change the direction of research, hoping to find some inspiration."
