Chapter 142: Undercover in the Gnome Kingdom!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the gnome archer captain knelt down, the other gnome archers also knelt down.
Of course, they did not kneel down because of the captain.
After witnessing the supreme might of the dragon Lord, they all threw themselves into the embrace of the god of faith, believing in the great dragon sect.
Mike looked at these gnome archers. The Dragon Castle had subdued a small team of gnome archers today.
After these gnomes turned into dragon-blooded gnomes, they could join the dragon-blooded gnome army, increasing the diversity of the troops and increasing the overall strength of the army.
After the gnome archer team submitted, all communication naturally became simple.
“Reporting to the Dragon Lord, my name is Harris. My subordinates and I were previously all archers from the vanguard army that belonged to the gnome kingdom in the Dark Forest!” Harris, the gnome archer captain, stood up and said respectfully.
Mike nodded. That’s right, the gnome archer army in front of him was indeed from the gnome kingdom in the Dark Forest.
The main reason why he paid attention to this sentence was that there was actually not only one gnome kingdom in the Endless Continent, but different regions also had gnomes, which also represented different factions of the gnome kingdom.
In fact, there were many races like the gnomes in the Endless Continent.
There was only one concentrated empire in the entire continent, and only races like the elves existed.
Although among the elves, there were fire elves, poison elves, flower elves, and other races that wandered all over the continent, there was only one elven empire.
The elven empire was like the nest of all the elf tribes, and the elven chief would return to the elven empire regularly to participate in meetings.
Therefore, although the elven forces were numerous and complicated, they were indeed a united group. Only then could they develop into a powerful ancient race!
“Tell me about the strength of the army of the gnome kingdom. What defense facilities do they have?”
After understanding the situation, Mike motioned for Harris to continue.
“My Lord, the gnome kingdom has a total population of about one million. There are about 20,000 gnomes who can participate in the battle.”
“These 20,000 gnomes have formed three legions. We have a total of 800 gnomes on this expedition. The weakest of them is at tier 4, while the highest is the leader of the entire vanguard army is a tier 8 general named Muchel.”
“However, this expedition is not his suggestion, but the will of the gnome kingdom’s saint-tier grand elder, Edmund!”
“Saint-tier grand elder, Edmund?” Mike’s eyebrows moved slightly.
Saint-tier. He did not expect that there were actually saint-tier gnomes in the gnome kingdom.
When he was planning to attack the gnome kingdom, he had already deduced the strength of the gnome kingdom.
After all, the huge gnome kingdom had been standing for so long, and the resources it contained were definitely not something that the Castle Lords who had just arrived could imagine.
He had also vaguely guessed that there might be a saint-tier powerhouse in the gnome kingdom. He just did not think that the verification would come so quickly.
As such, it was unlikely that he would be able to take down an entire gnome kingdom just by relying on Tyrell and Barr.
Although the two of them had already advanced to the king-level, they were still at the early stages of the king-level. If they wanted to join forces to deal with a saint-level gnome grand elder, they would not be able to defeat them.
Only if all the members of the dragon battle team, the Undead Dragon Caesar, the Red Lotus Fire Dragon Flosa, the Azure Demon Dragon Hilar, and the earth dragon joined forces would they have a chance.
However, the risk of doing so was a little too great.
After all, when the time came for battle, they would not only have to deal with the great elder, but also countless tier 8 and level 9 gnome kingdom warriors!
However, it was still alright.
Before the attack, Mike had already expected that the gnome kingdom would be a tough nut to crack.
Now, he just had to think of a way to get rid of this saint-tier grand elder. He was not in a hurry to take it slow.
After Mike had made up his mind, he then said to Harris, “how far is the gnome kingdom from the Dragon Castle?”
“My Lord, the distance between the two mountains is about 1,200 kilometers. I have a magic map of the Dark Forest. You can take a look!” Harris replied.
Taking the sheepskin map that Harris handed over respectfully, Mike opened it. It was indeed a magic map of the Dark Forest area. The terrain, environment, water source, and even various mineral veins were clearly marked.
He immediately found the location of the Dragon Castle and the gnome kingdom on the map. After calculating the distance, it was indeed more than 800 kilometers.
Looking at this… Mike could not help but feel a little puzzled.
This distance was really too long. Moreover, there was a continuous mountain range. It was extremely difficult for ordinary gnomes to look through it, unless there were flying beasts that could be specially controlled.
Obviously, the gnome kingdom did not breed flying beasts. Otherwise, they would have expanded their scale and would not have waited until now.
Mike asked, “how long did it take you to arrive at the Dragon Castle from the gnome kingdom?”
“My lord, it only took us two days to get here!” Harris replied. However, he could see Mike’s confusion and continued to explain.
“Respected dragon Lord, in fact, most of the areas from the gnome kingdom to the Dark Forest have some special underground tunnels.”
“These underground tunnels have been enchanted with magic, allowing us to quickly shuttle back and forth between the two tunnels!”
“Is that so…” Mike nodded, indicating that he understood.
Although the technology of the foreign races in the Endless Continent was not as advanced as Earth’s, the progress of magic technology was not far behind.
For example, the current magic rail mine cars in the gnome kingdom. The magic cannons of the dwarves, the alchemical potions that could strengthen the user’s physique, and so on.
Mike did not think about this anymore. Everything was clear now.
He told Harris, “since you were brought back by Hilar after the main force left, it means that the other soldiers of the gnome kingdom do not know that you joined the Dragon Castle.”
“I have a mission for you. Return to the gnome kingdom now and tell the truth that you were attacked by the Dragon Castle. Tell the saint-tier elder that my castle has 4 king-tier dragons and a tier 9 mutated earth dragon. See how he reacts.”
“If the elder asks about your subordinates, just tell him that they are all dead!”
“Yes, Sir!” Harris respectfully accepted the order.
He did not know why the Supreme dragon Lord would do such a thing. However, the dragon Lord’s plans and orders were not something that a lowly follower like him could fathom. All he needed to do was to strictly carry out the plan.
“Harris, go in peace. The Supreme dragon Lord will protect you!”
Tyrell the Nightmare Green Dragon spoke and immediately released his recovery fog.
Under the green fog, the severely injured Harris looked much better.. Otherwise, in his current state, he might not even be able to return to the underground tunnel.
