Chapter 618: Banned Necromancers from Participating in the Battle!
Translator: Lonelytree
On the barren land northwest of Rolling Stone Town.
The cavalrymen led their warhorses at the front.
In the middle were a large number of supplies and carriages.
Behind them were the garrison, the militia, the reserves, and the temporarily recruited civilians.
Such a large marching scene clearly exceeded the requirement of 1,000 people.
However, this did not violate the rules.
The secret order of war required that only registered personnel from both sides could actually participate in the battle.
However, it did not specify that only these 1000 people would complete all the transportation and logistics work during the war mobilization.
In this way.
Rolling Stone Town recruited a large number of labourers to provide labour for transportation.
This way, not only could they ensure the soldiers’ combat effectiveness to the greatest extent, but they could also carry more war resources.
For example.
In the middle of the group, hidden in the thick oilcloth-covered oxcarts, were four ballistae and one dragon crossbow.
On the carriage board near the ballista.
It was also filled with an astonishing amount of ironware.
This ironware would play a crucial role in the upcoming battle.
Matthew withdrew his gaze from the car.
At this moment, he was riding on the Crimson Flame Nightmare, wandering to the west side of the convoy.
He looked further west.
A wide river appeared on the horizon.
The Highleaf Ridge was just across the river.
At the end of the river was their destination, the Moss Green Hills, which had extremely complicated terrain.
It was midsummer, and the weather was hot.
The sky above Rolling Stone Town was clear, and the soldiers narrowed their eyes and covered their heads as they hurried. However, after approaching the moss-green hills.
The heat suddenly subsided.
All of this was due to the influence of the thick clouds above the hill.
Matthew stared at the thick, dark clouds, feeling uneasy.
He quickly circled to the other side of the team and walked alongside Zeller and Rheagar.
” The weather in the Moss Green Hills is likely to be an unexpected factor. If it rains in the second half of the night, the ground will become very muddy, which may affect our travel plan.” Matthew said in a deep voice.
Zeller looked worried.
“I’m afraid it’s magic.”
Matthew had the same concerns.
For some high-level mages in certain fields, it was not difficult to control the clouds and rain. However, to affect the weather in such a large area, it required at least a veteran in the storm field or the rain field.
According to their current intelligence.
There was no such person in the Black Dragon Army of the Highleaf Region. However, if the storm was really aimed at Rolling Stone Town, it was very likely to cause a series of chain reactions. They had no choice but to deal with it carefully.
“I’ll ask Loraine about it later.”
Matthew said.
“Where’s Richard?”
Zeller replied,
He’s still in Rolling Stone Town, preparing to draw in the net. Once we’ve dealt with the Warlock suspected to be a Thousand Transformers, he’ll rush over to meet us.”
Matthew asked,
“Did you find anything?”
Zeller frowned.
“Ever since you reported his existence to me, I’ve been stalking and intercepting him for 24 hours.
“It turned out that Thomas was indeed a spy from the Highleaf Region.
“He contacted a noble family in the Highleaf Region, and that noble family was the first human force to join the Black Dragon Overlord.
“Thomas was instructed by the Black Dragon Lord to steal information about Rolling Stone Town. This means that Meonogas is not as simple as we thought. His last attack was the result of careful preparation.
“The other thing that is more suspicious is that I found that Thomas’s Warlock power comes from a certain kind of Chromatic Dragon, but it’s not a Black Dragon.”
Matthew nodded. “The Five Dragons Alliance.”
This term was not unfamiliar. Ever since Melinda mentioned it that night, Matthew had secretly looked it up.
However, most of the intelligence channels could only get a simple name.
Only Lorraine’s sources had gotten more information.
This was a dragon alliance formed under the will of Dragon God Brook.
Currently, it was only active in the south.
But as time passed, if Dragon God Brook could strengthen his infiltration into the human world, then the Chromatic Dragons would most likely unite under his influence.
This situation was definitely not good news for humans.
The power of the Warlocks who worked for the Black Dragon came from another Chromatic Dragon.
This added another layer of haze to the already foggy battle.
“Don’t worry, we’re not unprepared.”
Matthew encouraged,
” Countless pairs of eyes from the Seven Saint Alliance are watching this battle.
Even if the Chromatic Dragons really want to make some big news, the Legendary mages won’t allow it.”
Zeller smiled helplessly.
It’s a good thing that Rolling Stone Town has you. Otherwise, I’d still have a big question mark on which side the Legendary mage is on.”
Matthew also smiled.
Zeller’s concern could only mean that he understood the morals of mages too well.
That was indeed the case.
If Matthew hadn’t joined the alliance, Rolling Stone Town would have been at a
disadvantage in this battle.
“Do you think Meonogas is reading our intelligence?
Zeller asked.
Matthew shrugged.
“I’m not sure. Maybe.
‘ Fortunately, we have also obtained their information. Perhaps this is a battle where information is semi-public.”
Matthew couldn’t help but recall the crazy war deductions they had been doing over the past few days.
Previously, he had received the registration list of the High Leaf Region from Fandal, which roughly recorded the distribution of the forces of the High Leaf
Region in this battle..
