Chapter 75 The Man with a 'Dragon'
Because the magic within each magic tower built in a territory appears randomly, Lin Mo was actually unsure whether the other party had 'healing' abilities.
But it's never a bad thing to give it a try.
If there were, that would save us a lot of trouble.
As it turned out, Gang Ge was lucky; Xu Jiang really did have this magic.
Xu Jiang had no reason to refuse Lin Mo's small request, as it was just a simple matter for him.
Moreover, it would make Lin Mo owe him a favor, so why not?
The people inside Chenguang Fort were also shocked by this scene. Some of them were Xu Jiang's family members, some were his friends and former close colleagues. After the disaster, they had only been able to live their current lives because of Xu Jiang.
This unfamiliar visitor was clearly of very high status, most likely a lord, otherwise Xu Jiang wouldn't have helped so easily.
The way they looked at Lin Mo now was different from before.
After receiving treatment, Hu Zhigang experienced immediate results; apart from being thin, all other discomforts had completely disappeared.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
I stretched my arms and legs on the spot and even jumped a couple of times. I was perfectly fine and had plenty of energy.
This incident completely changed his understanding of the world.
"Lin Mo, I..." Hu Zhigang didn't know how to thank him.
"Brother Gang, we must first thank Lord Xu." After Lin Mo finished speaking, Hu Zhigang immediately understood and bowed to Xu Jiang to express his gratitude without saying a word.
After all, this was a life-saving favor.
"Hehe, it's nothing... By the way, Brother Lin, since you're already here, stay a while and take a look around." Xu Jiang extended an invitation. After forming an alliance with Lin Mo, he also learned the location of Lin Mo's territory, but at first, he was confused.
Because, according to the map, there is no territory in that location at all.
He was quite certain of this, having visited the place recently. However, just to be on the safe side, he immediately sent someone over to investigate, though the person had not yet returned.
As for the underground world, it's not that Xu Jiang couldn't think of it, but at this stage, no one knows that such a region exists. Therefore, he believes that Lin Mo's territory was only established in the last two days.
If that's the case, then the opponent's strength is questionable.
If you're not strong enough, going to a level-two otherworld map isn't helping; it's just holding them back.
So Xu Jiang was subtly probing, and Lin Mo understood. He doesn't bring many high-level troops with him when he goes out these days; besides skeletons, he only has a red dragon.
It's not good to show this off.
Besides, Lin Mo isn't the kind of person who likes to show off.
But Xu Jiang hinted several times that he wanted to see Brother Lin's military branch.
"Which one does Teacher Xu want to see?" Lin Mo asked casually.
"The highest level," Xu Jiang said.
"The highest level, right!" When all else failed, Lin Mo finally pulled the Crimson Dragon out of the military manual.
When the enormous red dragon with its thick red armor appeared within the territory of Dawnlight Keep, everyone who witnessed it was stunned.
Correct!
I was completely dumbfounded.
At present, the highest-level unit that can be recruited in Dawnfort is the Tier 4 Crusader.
Indeed, the Crusaders are cool; their heavy full armor and longswords give them a tremendous sense of oppression. But compared to a level seven unit like the Red Dragon, a colossal creature, they are simply incomparable.
Ten seconds later, before the Crimson Dragon could even roar, Lin Mo shoved it back into the military manual.
At this moment, everyone, including Xu Jiang, looked at Lin Mo differently.
Even Xu Jiang, who had seen the world, was like this, let alone others. As for Sister Juan and the others who had helped Gang Ge sneak in, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and several of them collapsed to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
"Is that a dragon?" Xu Jiang asked.
"Yes!" Lin Mo nodded.
Xu Jiang took a deep breath: "Brother, tomorrow's otherworld map depends on you."
This is not just polite talk; it's the sheer power of a Tier 7 unit.
But for Lin Mo, his seven hundred-plus skeleton soldiers were the real main force.
When Lin Mo asked if he could go to the Magic Tower in Morning Light Castle to have his magic imprinted, Xu Jiang readily agreed.
The benefits of forming an alliance include the ability to exchange resources and the opportunity to learn magic at the other party's magic tower, provided that permission is obtained from the other party's lord.
Furthermore, it is generally assumed that if you go to the opponent's magic tower, the opponent can also go to your magic tower.
Therefore, this is not charity, but an exchange.
The castle's magic tower was also built to be magnificent and imposing, but unfortunately it was only a level one magic tower, containing only three types of magic: [Healing], [Stone Skin Protection], and [Holy Spirit Blessing], which was not bad.
However, Lin Mo discovered something: the most useful spell here, [Holy Spirit's Blessing], increases the damage of friendly troops to the maximum, but it seems he can't use it for the time being.
Since all units of the Necropolis faction are immune to Holy Spirit magic, the Skeletons are useless; in addition, the Crimson Dragons they possess are immune to level 1-3 magic, which is level 1 water magic, so the Crimson Dragons cannot benefit from it either.
However, for Lin Mo, not needing it now doesn't mean he won't need it in the future; there's no harm in learning it anyway.
"Come visit me sometime," Lin Mo said, extending an invitation to Xu Jiang. The latter was indeed tempted, but considering that he was going to the Level 2 Otherworld map tomorrow and had many things to prepare for today, he could only say "sometime."
"See you tomorrow morning!"
See you tomorrow morning!
Lin Mo led his men away from Morning Light Fortress.
It was only then that he noticed that Sister Juan and the other women were also following behind him. However, Lin Mo didn't have a good impression of these people, but he didn't hate them either, so he ignored them.
Sister Juan and the others naturally didn't dare to continue following, so they could only secretly say goodbye to Chen Jie and return to the safe zone camp.
At this moment, only Hu Zhigang and Chen Jie remained by Lin Mo's side.
"Brother Gang, how are you feeling now?" Only then did Lin Mo have time to talk to the other person.
The latter was naturally filled with gratitude: "Lin Mo, thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you... I definitely wouldn't be alive."
"Brother Gang, you used to take good care of me at the company, so let's skip the formalities. In these special times, let's help each other out." Lin Mo's words were quite tactful.
It both respected the other person's self-esteem and pointed out a certain issue.
Brother Gang, you need to help too.
Hu Zhigang wasn't stupid; he naturally understood.
"I will go through fire and water for anything that needs my help." This statement clearly expresses my attitude.
This is exactly what Lin Mo wants.
"Let's go back to my territory first." Lin Mo didn't summon the skeletal warhorse, because one horse wasn't enough for three people.
Fortunately, it's not far from the entrance to the underground world, only two or three kilometers away, which takes about half an hour to walk there.
Once they entered the underground world, Chen Jie and Hu Zhigang were naturally shocked by what they saw.
They could never have imagined that there was such a huge underground space beneath the migratory bird city.
Furthermore, what's the story behind the sentry post in the passage ahead?
It was very well constructed, and you could see several cave dwelling leaders holding short spears, as well as a harpy crouching at the top of the sentry tower. Her eyes were particularly striking in the dark underground environment, like two lamps.
Lin Mo entered the sentry post.
To be honest, this place is not small, with a length of over thirty meters, which almost completely blocks the passage. To get through, you have to go through the guard post entrance, but the gate here is tightly closed, so there is no other way but to force your way through.
Inside, there is an interior space of no less than 200 square meters, divided into two rooms: a lobby and a lounge.
There are guard positions above, usually eight positions. Lin Mo has arranged three groups of cave dwellers, one of which is the main force, with 50 stacks, and the remaining two groups with 1 each; two groups of harpies, 15 each; and a separate group of eye monsters, with 20 stacks, who are the strongest firepower output in this base.
Of course, more troops will be sent over later.
Lin Mo entered the hall, found a chair and sat down. Hu Zhigang and Chen Jie were both a little reserved, standing obediently and looking around curiously.
