The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 149: Risks of the Abes Road

After dealing with matters in the royal capital, Abes rushed back to Sweetleaf Town without stopping.

Outside the east gate of the royal capital, some tents and workshops have begun to be built around the teleportation stele.

It has been like this since ancient times, civilizations were born around water flows.

Settlements grow around major transportation routes.

It's not that there is no means of teleportation in the fantasy world, but compared to the expensive operations that can only be performed by hired mages, a mature and stable teleportation stele with no restrictions on the number of people and size is definitely a crushing blow.

Everyone knows how fast trains and airplanes can be, but if there is a portal that allows you to go directly to your destination by just opening the door, will people still envy the scenery on both sides of the railway?

In short, on the one hand, it is to weaken the sacredness and legitimacy of the old city walls and the old palace of the royal capital in people's hearts; on the other hand, Abes also needs some depth and structure to protect the teleportation stele in order to maintain the management of Sweet Leaf Town and the royal capital.

Therefore, Abes not only did not oppose these major renovations and constructions outside the East City Gate, but encouraged them instead.

In order to maintain order here, Abe even specially arranged some people.

Those who stayed behind around the teleportation stele were a group of people led by Kurgei.

This bear goblin, who was pursuing safety, originally refused to leave his side.

Even the condition for surrendering to him was to become his personal guard.

But it was precisely because of this "inseparable" relationship that he and himself were trapped in the trap set by the Supreme Being.

Abes was teleported to the cemetery under the east gate of the royal capital, while Kurge was sent to a strange space where the main teleportation stele was located.

After this experience, Kurgei was no longer so persistent in following Abes.

After all, Abes has proved with facts that the place around him is not necessarily the safest place.

Now that he saw that the royal capital was in his hands, everyone from the "king" to the chief wizard was a coward, and Kurgei no longer had any aversion to the mission of staying in the royal capital.

On the other hand, the strange space where the main teleportation stele was located was discovered by Kurgei, so it was his natural responsibility to look after the branch stele of the teleportation stele in the royal capital.

----------

After returning to Tianye Town, the news that Abes received almost made him break out in a cold sweat.

A series of villages around Tianye Town, led by Baiyun Village and Xingshou Village, reported that they had been attacked by lizardmen.

If Kronos had not arranged for the villages to hold their ground and build fortifications during Abes' absence, the fate of those villages would probably have been the same as that of Kronos' Silver Moon Farm.

But the most puzzling thing is that the news reported by Cuiyang Village was that after they fought off the first wave of lizardmen, they witnessed a dragon!

After seeing this news, almost everyone present turned their eyes to him.

When it comes to dealing with dragons, apart from the "bards" described in some strange poetic dramas, who else present could know more about it than Abes Grande, the ancient hero who ended the reign of dragons and fought off the dragon disaster thousands of years ago?

Abeth Grande felt shocked and uneasy.

The Lizardmen's attacks were just small things.

Not to mention that Kronos had already made a prediction, even if there was no Kronos, Abes would have been prepared to go south immediately after conquering the next town or city and take back the fertile land in the south.

Therefore, the confrontation with the Lizardmen is well within the range allowed by their current size.

But a dragon... Now the protection of my own path only has a barbarian as the main job and a bard as the part-time job.

Slay a dragon at this level?

Could it be that this dragon of yours is an eight-year-old baby dragon?

Indeed, the news reported by Cuiyang Village this time indicated that the dragon's main target of attack seemed to be the lizard people.

But the uncontrollable violence, the brutality and bloody shadow of the dragon's rule before the Dragon Sundering Disaster, all these things caused the same panic and fear in all intelligent creatures.

Who would dare to bet that the next breath of dragon will be sprayed on the lizardmen instead of the villagers?

And more importantly, no matter how Abes spread out the scout team, the whereabouts of the lizardmen who were bitten by the dragon's breath could never be found.

Where on earth did the enemy go...

----------

The number of lizardmen is clearly not enough to be eliminated by just one breath of dragon's breath.

There is also clear eyewitness news from Cuiyang Village that "they seemed not to be afraid of the fire and retreated to the rear at all costs."

As long as there is a gathering, there is still organization, and there is still a possibility of making a comeback.

With such a huge number, even if more than 90% of them were lost, the remaining 10% might be able to bite off an entire village at a critical moment.

It’s not that Abesi was indecisive, but he had just promised to take over the surrounding villages so that they could live a good life and no longer suffer the possibility of losing their freedom, dignity and life.

If he was bitten off by a group of lizardmen, how could he unite the power of Sweetleaf Town and the surrounding villages?

It seemed that he had already taken over the royal capital and had become the most legitimate force in the small kingdom of Wommza.

But the path that Abes is taking already carries risks.

He has a production line for iron vests and magic grenades, and the popularization of flying skills and the design of magic guns are also on the way.

It can be said that Abes's power has definitely undergone a technological revolution that has relatively spanned half an era.

However, if we do not take advantage of the early period of advantage to consolidate the people within our sphere of influence and unite the people within our sphere of influence, these advantages will soon become the advantages of others.

Why do technological innovations always happen on a large scale in large countries? Is it because small countries don’t have their own people who wait a thousand years for the destiny?

Because after technological innovation, if a small country can make one, then a big country can immediately make a hundred or ten thousand as long as it acquires the technology.

And then, the existence of this small country has become a question.

The only way to break the impasse is to rely on a big country, or to take advantage of the vacuum in technology circulation and become a big country yourself.

The other countries in the North may not understand the fair and just ideas and systems promoted by Abes, but that does not prevent them from copying their own technology trees.

I heard that the light explosion particles originally created by the Mage Tower, which were the same thing Philip used to blow up the east gate of the royal capital, are now being smuggled everywhere in the countries surrounding the northern border.

It was clearly a technological innovation of the small kingdom of Łomza, but in the end it became a weapon for the surrounding larger countries to conquer each other.

Although there is corruption and low morals among the nobles and ministers.

but……

Since the light explosion particles can be copied and circulated, how could Abes's grenade assembly line, which does not require any spellcaster to participate in the entire process, not be circulated?

He was guarding Sweet Leaf Town by himself, and as long as he had a public encounter with General Paddy or other warlords, the grenade would immediately become a highlight in their eyes.

And after a simple on-site observation, the basic principles of this thing will be analyzed.

Even if they couldn't get the "Universal Rectifier" that Kronos got inspiration from the strange space where the main teleportation tablet was located, they couldn't create such a simple and beautiful set of runes.

But as long as a group of mages are brought in to conduct research, a more or less bloated alternative version can be made - the difference is nothing more than a small melon grenade and a large dynamite pack.

By that time, when both sides stop using close combat and instead prioritize bombarding each other with magic explosives, will Abes, who only controls Sweet Leaf Town and the Royal Capital, be able to deal with the rest of the "big guys"?

How much manpower, material resources and financial resources does Abes have to support the troops to withstand and use magic explosives?

Because of this, Abesi can only expand its size, and only wants to expand its size quickly.

It can be said that ever since the advent of the technology to materialize magic power and the design of the Universal Rectifier, Abes and his companions could not be satisfied with just two pieces of land like Sweetleaf Town and the Royal Capital in order to survive.

It was because he realized that he had to go north and face General Paddy's army and face such danger that he could not allow the threat of the Lizardmen to continue to exist.

Otherwise, before coming into contact with General Paddy, Sweet Leaf Town would probably be lost because of the people's support.

"Tomorrow, I will personally lead a group of people to go look for it. Even if we have to search the mountains and the sea, we must find this last hidden danger!"
