Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons
Chapter 841 - 729: The Battlefield at the Frontline
The power Kane demonstrated at this moment made Miralina truly value this cooperation.
Prior to this, Miralina had doubts about the cooperation matters that Kane had discussed with her, as she was not certain of Kane's influence and strength.
But now, the power Kane displayed in front of her was undeniably real.
Nothing is more straightforward than a powerful individual showcasing their strength.
In that state, Miralina felt she wouldn't last two seconds in Kane's hands.
He even conjured a massive ship out of thin air.
At the gold level, Miralina clearly knew how exaggerated and hard-to-comprehend the rule of creating something out of nothingness was.
With such strength, even without the conditions he mentioned,
the Bihai Empire would still be willing to assist him in this action to make the acquaintance of a powerful individual.
And now that Kane has demonstrated his strength, what he said is even more credible, possibly even better than Miralina had anticipated.
She initially planned to rest for a night and prepare for cooperation the next day.
But now, indeed, preparations for cooperation must commence immediately.
This is an expression of an attitude.
After Miralina disappeared, Kane said to the guild members behind him: "Stop standing there idly, everyone. Pack these materials into the warehouse-type space equipment, or place them directly into the guild warehouse."
"People have already been waiting over there for some time."
After hearing Kane's words, everyone snapped out of their daze, nodded, and started moving around actively.
Looking at the pile of dismantled components nearby,
it seems like there won't be any good rest tonight.
......
A few days later.
The convoy was once again on the road, with members of the Lantern Knight Order protecting the surroundings.
They are now about to reach the Holy Light Alliance's frontline against the undead threat.
As they got closer to the frontline, there were fewer villages, but noticeably more soldiers patrolling the area.
These defense lines were not just one layer; later, Kane and his party saw many other prepared lines of defense.
In case the frontline was breached, they still had these well-prepared lines to hold the enemy for a while.
The leader at the center of the convoy was none other than their caravan.
Inside the carriage, Kane suddenly appeared.
Seeing Kane, Kreya asked, "How is it going? How are the preparations?"
Hearing Kreya's words, Kane sat beside her, picked up the water glass nearby, and took a sip.
There was a faint lipstick mark on it.
Then he said to Kreya, "Everything is basically ready. Yesterday, Bonona and the representative from the Bihai Empire have communicated, and the cooperation matters have been settled."
"The ship we built over the past few days, the first one, has been fully assembled and should be loaded with supplies on its way now."
Hearing Kane's words, Kreya was a little surprised and asked, "Is the operation so efficient?"
"Of course, the faster we move, the more refugees we can aid, right?"
Over these days, Kane has produced a total of four ships.
Each one was constructed successfully with the infinite energy provided by the Holy Grail.
However, due to the absence of the Starlight Dragon's enhancement, the subsequent ships weren't directly manufactured as finished products but rather constructed with all materials separately.
This method was actually more efficient, just fitting into a 10-second timeframe for completion.
No need for Kane to spend extra effort on disassembly.
The first manufactured ship was already assembled.
It seemed to have set sail yesterday morning.
The ship was loaded with all kinds of relief supplies, as well as all the remaining members of the Lantern Knight Order.
In addition to the members of the Knight Order, there were 3,000 of the strongest soldiers of silver-level strength from the territory, who also boarded the ship.
The rest were various staff members.
These supplies and accompanying staff will establish a transit camp at a natural harbor to receive refugees.
They would then be responsible for subsequent handovers with the refugees from the Holy Light Alliance's forces.
And these soldiers coming along are undoubtedly here to assist Kane and his party.
As for the Lantern Territory,
Facundo promised to help guard the territory during this period.
Because he already knew the disaster caused by the undead he once left behind.
He also roughly knew that the difficulty of the task entrusted to Kane and his party had increased.
Although he couldn't take direct action,
no one knew he wasn't the true master of the Lantern Territory.
The so-called restrictions only limited acts of aggression by strong individuals of the colorful level.
If enemies attacked, they would naturally be able to counterattack.
As long as Facundo stayed within the territory, no one dared to send troops against the Lantern Territory.
They would think Facundo was the true master of the Lantern Territory.
With no worries about the territory, Kane even brought most of the gold-level members over.
Whether it was this assault on the Undead Influence or the rescue of refugees, it was a rare opportunity to gain contributions.
And for those gold-level members who hadn't yet become Explorers, it was an excellent chance to enhance their strength.
They were just waiting for everyone to arrive in a dozen days.
The cooperation treaty signed with the Bihai Empire was finalized yesterday under Bonona's lead.
After a field assessment of the Lantern Territory's power, the Bihai Kingdom engaged in deeper cooperation with Kane and his territory.
During these days, while on the road, Kane's team encountered undead breaking through the lines twice.
But the leaders of these undead were of the silver level, merely adding more Magic Stones for Kane's party.
However, this also indirectly confirmed how difficult the Holy Light Alliance found it to defend against the undead on the frontline.
Moreover, they encountered new groups of refugees on the road and many villages destroyed by the undead.
Besides these, the area was still patrolled by numerous soldiers and various mercenaries.
Talking to these people also gave Kane and the others a general understanding of the situation on the frontlines.
The so-called Holy Light Alliance was organized by a large power.
This is a religion, and the power it displays is the Holy Light.
Due to the deadly effect of the Holy Light on the undead, the religious faction's guardians and various priests demonstrated powerful strength. π§πβ―β―π€β―π£πβ΄πππ.ππ°π
Subsequently, led by them, all the surrounding forces were organized to form this alliance.
And Kane and the others needed to collaborate with the Holy Light Alliance within these 10 days before the cruise ship arrived.
At this time, Kane felt the speed of the vehicle slowing down, implying it was about to reach the predetermined location.
With the vehicle coming to a stop, Kane got off.
Everyone else got off as well and put away the vehicles.
Then Kane took several Intelligent Cores from the space equipment, equipped them with photographic tools, and sent them out.
He then used his power to create a screen, and everyone gathered around.
The screen was displaying the footage captured by these Intelligent Cores.
The place they were currently at was a forest not far from the frontlines.
The reason they were here was to check on the situation at the frontlines.
About ten minutes later, the Intelligent Cores had reached the battlefield.
The screen in front of them was already showing the scene.
Not far from the forest was a magnificent fortress.
The fortress was densely packed with soldiers of various races patrolling.
There were all kinds of city defense weapons placed on it.
From the various damaged and repaired parts of the walls, it was evident that it had experienced many wars.
In the distance on the plains in front of the fortress, various low-ranking undead were aimlessly wandering.
The plains were littered with countless bone fragments, casually discarded.
There were also many bonfires, burning what seemed to be the bodies of various undead.
The black smoke from the burning bodies drifted up into the sky.
This indeed was the most effective way to destroy the bodies of the undead.
The plains also had many pits and hollows scattered about.
Zooming out the camera, one could see a dense mass of various undead a few kilometers away from the fortress.
It seemed there was no ongoing war.
But they came here because they understood it was the most frequently attacked place by the undead.
This was the easiest route to the frontlines, surrounded by either forest or various mountains and lakes.
The outermost edge was a sea.
The Holy Light Alliance only needed to guard a few key passages to keep most of the undead at bay.
This was why the Holy Light Alliance stubbornly defended this position.
If this defense line were breached, there would be no other defensive environment as favorable as this one behind it.
At this time, a pale white figure drifted over from outside the forest.
It was a ghost maid.
She came directly to Kane's side, lifted the hem of her maid's skirt, and bowed.
"Master."
Kane nodded and then asked, "How is the situation?"
"The undead are preparing to launch an attack tonight, and this time they plan to deploy more undead to see if they can take down the fortress."
After listening to the ghost maid, Kane nodded.
"I understand. You may go back now, and be careful."
The ghost maid nodded and then departed in victory.
This is why Kane and the others chose to come here at this time.
He had long sent the ghost maid into the undead's camp as his spy.
Being powerful and intelligent, ghost maids easily gained respect from other undead.
Furthermore, they directly held high positions among the undead.
With golden-level strength, the Ghost Maid Chief even acquired command over an army.
Naturally, they could acquire more internal information on the undead and better understand their current situation.
The mark on the back of Kane's hand was also gone.
Dark Servants had been dispatched by Kane into various forces of the Holy Light Alliance.
To gather more intelligence for Kane.
Although Kane and his team hadn't started contacting the Holy Light Alliance, they already had some understanding of them.
Coming here was also to prepare for an official meeting with the people of the Holy Light Alliance.
"Look, the undead are moving."
Hearing this, Kane quickly shifted his attention to the screen.
The dense undead, just a few kilometers away, began to surge towards the fortress like a tide.
At the Holy Light Alliance's fortress, numerous soldiers could also be seen mobilizing on the walls.
The war between the two sides would commence once again.
And Kane and his group only needed to bide their time on the sidelines.
They needed to make their appearance at the crucial moment.
Then showcase their absolute strength on the battlefield.
Only by doing so could they quickly gain an equal voice with the people of the Holy Light Alliance.
Subsequent collaboration could then proceed smoothly and logically.
Kane did not want to waste too much time haggling with these people.
Demonstrating strength is the best way to secure a voice.
People always place great importance on first impressions.
