Chapter 428 - 428 428 Preparation before the War

428: Chapter 428 Preparation before the War 428: Chapter 428 Preparation before the War Looking at number 8, who had not spoken, Zhao Guang suddenly asked, “How does this Mokli know so much?”

The Magic Doll, as expected, knew a great deal, and replied as a matter of course, “Of course he knows a lot because both of Mokli’s parents are Great Mages from the Silver Tower.”

Generally speaking, Magic Dolls shouldn’t recklessly divulge other people’s information.

But Zhao Guang did not use a normal method to inquire, rather, he employed indirect questions.

The information that was not specifically hidden was thus naturally revealed by number 8.

“No wonder,” Zhao Guang mused, “I thought to myself, how could this guy, with such poor talent, manage to get into the Silver Tower.” Mokli was of a certain age but still not as strong as himself, which could only mean a lack of talent.

In the Silver Tower, as long as one was doing somewhat well, one could buy a great number of resources and materials.

And to enter the Silver Tower, one first had to decipher the magic array on the invitation.

Those who could decipher it demonstrated good talent.

With this kind of talent plus substantial research resources, it was impossible to still be this weak at his age.

Now it became clear; he’s a beneficiary of connections.

Possibly due to his advanced age, Mokli was also looking for other avenues.

With the allocation from both the Mage Tower and the Silver Tower, he could use much more Magic Power.

As for why Mokli’s parents didn’t continue to help him, that was their family business, which Zhao Guang did not know.

Forget it, why think so much about it?

The most important thing now was to enhance his own strength.

He needed to advance to Advanced Mage as soon as possible to better deal with trouble coming from the North.

Think about it, Undead Mages, and not just one; who knows what kind of weird methods they have.

Mere ghosts were not something ordinary people could resist.

Right, to counter ghosts, he would have Mokli make more items to fight them later.

He might not understand combat with Undead Mages, but Mokli seemed to know quite a lot.

Back in his territory, Zhao Guang directly commanded, “Have Coscola come over.”

Xi Fei hurried out, and before long, Coscola rushed in.

“My lord, you summoned me.”

Zhao Guang nodded, “I’ve received news that there might be trouble coming from the North.”

“Please rest assured, master, we definitely won’t let those Magic Beasts interfere with our development plan,” Coscola said, thinking of the Magic Beasts that had been increasing in number recently.

While some Magic Beasts were somewhat capable, not a single truly powerful one had been seen.

In places with large crowds, especially those on the edge of battlefields, it was unlikely that many powerful Magic Beasts would be present.

If there were any, they would either have been killed or would have fled beforehand.

The Magic Beasts that could survive in such a place were either very strong or very troublesome.

“It’s not Magic Beasts, it’s the Undead Mages.

Those guys might come out,” said Zhao Guang.

Coscola’s pupils contracted, for Undead Mages were not easy to deal with.

Even if he advanced to Advanced Warrior, facing them would be daunting.

He wasn’t afraid of combat head-on, but Mages had many methods, perfectly capable of avoiding direct confrontation.

“What are your orders, my lord?” Coscola asked cautiously.

“Let’s get prepared.

Next, you go and do a tally.

Report any needed weapons as quickly as possible; we can’t be lacking in that area.

Also, expand your troops to five hundred for now,” Zhao Guang instructed.

Coscola took note with utmost seriousness.

Though five hundred wasn’t a lot, it would still put considerable pressure on their current population.

To Zhao Guang, however, such pressure was negligible.

And as for logistics, weren’t there Rabbitfolk for that?

“Also, how are we doing with Combat Energy training within our ranks?” he asked.

Coscola immediately answered, “We have five Intermediate Warriors, and I still have some distance to breaking through; we have sixteen Junior Warriors, but quite a few are close to breaking through.”

So many?

Junior Warriors already had some deterrence on the battlefield.

Unknowingly, his subordinates had already amassed such a power.

It was a pity he was a noble on the outskirts.

If not for that, his current strength wouldn’t have been considered weak amongst the nobles.

To lift their strength as quickly as possible, he would have to resort to some extraordinary measures.

“I will give you some Special Potions.

Distribute them and let those close to breaking through do so as quickly as possible.

Similarly, you can use them to enhance some of your own strength.

Let them owe these contributions for now and slowly repay them once they become commoners,” Zhao Guang said.

In times of crisis, he didn’t mind using some special methods.

Owing him was not a big deal for these people.

Once they knew the reasons, they would only be grateful.

If it were other nobles, not thinking of running away would have been good enough.

As for the matter of Potions, Zhao Guang was actually thinking of using Concentrated Holy Water.

That would mean there would be even less Holy Water available, so a substitute had to be found.

The trade with the Beastmen also had to be expanded, and some prohibited items might just have to be risked.

“I’ve got it.

I will see to it,” Coscola said with a slight bow before running outside.

These things would be distributed by Zhao Guang after the tally was complete.

Suddenly recalling something, Zhao Guang quickly said to Xi Fei, “Have Qiao Miya pay attention.

If there’s something wrong, hide immediately nearby, and if necessary, promise some wealth; I will send it to the lords later.”

“Also, relax the conditions for our subordinates to access Combat Energy training methods, and try to increase the number of warriors as much as possible.”

Xi Fei nodded vigorously, “I understand, I will take care of it.”

“And you, you also need to enhance your strength as quickly as possible,” he added.

Xi Fei responded with a hint of bitterness; she really had no control over this.

She was just a half-breed Enchantress, yet somehow she was being dragged into war matters, and her strength was improving slower and slower.

Still, there were hopes for Jeana, whose advancement was not slow.

Xi Fei, knowing the situation well, wasted no time with unnecessary words.

“All right, put the word out to reinforce the defenses to the North.

Other work can wait; let’s get the city walls built first,” commanded Zhao Guang.

He couldn’t care less about planning issues at the moment; repelling this wave was the priority.

Once they were powerful enough, they would push back, showing those Undead Mages a lesson.

Coscola’s accounting came quickly, and after Zhao Guang set aside some Concentrated Holy Water, he immediately returned to Earth to start placing orders for various Weapons.
