Chapter 1475: 497. The Serpent’s Gratitude

Murphy and Maxim stepped out of the reception room five minutes later.

Because he was not yet skilled in using "Time Exile" and misjudged the intensity, Murphy exhausted himself to the extreme.

After all, the energy source for casting the spell isn’t Spiritual Energy but the user’s "energy bar," and as an energetic vampire, Murphy clearly had a lot to give, forcing poor Maxim to re-experience the five minutes of his infancy.

What’s more terrifying is that throughout these five minutes, Maxim’s consciousness remained fully awake.

While he "relearned" how to crawl, he finally returned to his normal size from that embarrassing state, but as for his newly changed pants and clothes, General Maxim flatly refused to provide further explanation with a stern face.

Murphy also changed into a new set of clothes, but that was his own doing.

"Truly an evil power!"

Maxim’s loyalty didn’t allow him to speak ill of his master, but he still sighed with a stern face:

"But I must admit that such power means you need no longer fear any threats of assassination attempts. Yet, I still have to say that using such spells on one’s own servant is inhumane, Master.

You could have simply punished me with a whip..."

"I’ve already apologized, for heaven’s sake, Mark, given the fine clothes you ruined, can’t you be magnanimous and forget the incident just happened?"

Murphy grumbled as he rubbed his aching forehead.

The typically reserved Maxim spoke back to Murphy for the first time:

"You speak lightly, it wasn’t you who wet himself... Oh Midnight Mother above, my honor and my warrior’s code were ruined by those five minutes. From this perspective, your new power can indeed deal a terrible dual blow to enemies, both physically and mentally.

Please use it sparingly."

"I promise, there won’t be a next time."

Murphy gesticulated with his hand and leaned against the nearby wall, allowing his depleted energy bar to slowly recover. He then asked:

"So, how is your army preparing? Can you move into the swamp now?"

"Yes!"

When it came to serious matters, Maxim’s attitude became grave at once as he said:

"The trained three thousand soldiers from the People’s Army and three thousand recruits are all ready to advance. I’ve got the complete records of the battle for Pestilence Town from Adel.

I noticed that during the bombing campaign called ’Ashen Path’, our warriors launched fatal and efficient bombings at the command nodes of the Skeleton Army, but the bombardment only destroyed the army’s command nodes.

A vast number of undead continue to roam the entire Polluted Swamp, and the Pestilence Clan still has garrisons at two other spiritual energy nodes in the swamp, aside from Pestilence Town.

Now that Pestilence Town, which has been hindering our progress, has been conquered, I hereby request to lead the soldiers into the swamp and carry out the next phase of your plan!

We will cross the Polluted Swamp within thirty days and meet with the Blood Covenant Knight Order’s defensive line at Wasteland Mountain. This will push Transylvania’s front line against the Wolf People into their territory.

This will be a test of the soldiers’ spirit and will, but I believe that if they can fight their way to Wasteland Mountain on their own, they will become Transylvania’s most elite defensive force!"

"Good, a very impressive plan, I agree. You may carry it out,"

Murphy nodded and said:

"But you’ll need to take the Goldenrod People with you, at least bring a squad of their vanguard and their artillery. I know you have your reservations about the Exploration Corps, and I’m not fond of them either, but if they are willing to join us as allies in the Black Disaster war, then they can be trusted.

After you depart, the Stonemason Association will dispatch a professional team to build roads through the swamp, so as you advance, you will also be responsible for cutting down trees along the way, clearing a path that doesn’t need to be very wide, but at least allows Winged Cavalry and regular Cavalry to pass through quickly.

Adel’s upcoming ’Homecoming’ operation will plan the route for you in advance, you just need to follow the markers they’ve set forward."

"Hmm, this will slow down the marching speed, but I think my army can handle it!"

Maxim spoke in a deep, solemn voice:

"On my return to Crimson Castle, Lord Kuder from the Maginot Line asked me to bring a message to you; he told me to convey that the construction progress of the defense line is going well, and before the second snowfall of Transylvania, they can complete the basic building of the above-ground fortifications.

However, Lord Kuder also requests that you find a Dwarf Priest who can imbue the fortifications with earth power as soon as possible, or else the defense line we’ve built with hard work could collapse overnight under the enemy’s Fossil into Mud spell."

"Regarding this matter, I’ve already contacted the Silver Dwarfs."

Murphy, with his hands behind his back and with the poise of a ruler, strode forward and responded:

"Marshal Loren has informed me that in a week’s time, a group of ten Earth Priests will set out with the Goldenrod Vanguard’s supply team, and they will reach the Maginot Line in no more than fifteen days.

Kuder need not worry about these things; I’ll take care of it for him.

Are there any other military issues that need my assistance? I may be clueless about military affairs, but at the least, I can ensure your logistics are handled well."
