Chapter 108 Preparations Before the Battle
Upon hearing this, a look of confusion appeared on Ilulian's face, and her azure eyes stared at Lin'er.
"What is the relationship between these two?"
Lin Er certainly didn't intend to lie to Ilulian, but explaining it wasn't easy.
He then winked at Flora, who naturally understood and replied, "Sister, what Lin Er said is true, it's just a little hard to explain."
Seeing that Flora had spoken, Ilulian's attitude softened completely. She said to Deacon Roslin, "You're lucky. I can travel with you, but don't even think about ordering me around."
Deacon Roslin gave Lin Er a grateful look, then replied to Ilulian, "We naturally respect Miss Ilulian's judgment. Please rest assured, we will never interfere arbitrarily."
Ilulian snorted coldly and said no more.
Roslinn was slightly embarrassed. She paused for a moment, then said, "Please move to the base so we can discuss this further."
The group then headed towards Linwu Village, while Talia and Keller stayed at the camp to look after the dragon eagles and help feed them.
After everyone arrived at the lord's cabin, a detailed map of the Misty Forest was laid out in the center of the room.
Roseline pointed to the area marked in red and said, "According to our investigation, there are currently five monster leaders at the Mist Bone Nest. Their strength is no more than the fourth rank, and there are hundreds of low-rank monsters of various sizes. We cannot determine the exact number."
Illulian glanced at the map and said with a hint of doubt, "You're helpless against just five monsters that are not even level four?"
""
Roseline quickly explained, "The poisonous fog in the center of the Misty Forest severely impairs vision and sense of direction. Once those leaders hide in the fog, they disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye."
Moreover, they have numerous minions. If we mobilize all our forces of level three and above, these monsters might take the opportunity to attack the surrounding villages and farmlands. Therefore, the stronghold must be guarded.
"This is really troublesome. Don't you have any way to deal with this poisonous fog?"
Ilulian frowned.
Roslin replied with a helpless expression, "The lizard-like demi-human Kolo who set up the poison mist magic circle is very cunning. He integrated the magic circle into nature, and the magic circle can absorb elemental power on its own and operate, making it impossible to locate."
Although our chief mage Maurice of Blackrock City has the ability to detect, he must remain at the mage tower and cannot easily leave.
""
After a moment's thought, Illulian suggested, "In that case, why not launch a surprise attack and wipe them all out while they're all gathered together?"
Deacon Roseline nodded.
Apart from her, the other nine people are all at the third rank. At least two third-rank people need to be stationed at the stronghold, so only seven people can be mobilized.
Although there seemed to be a large number of people, Roselyn knew that at least half of them were just going through the motions.
As the main fighting force, she not only had to pursue the enemy but also take care of her colleagues, leaving her with no time to spare.
Roseline didn't want to see casualties. In Blackrock, the relationships among the superhumans were relatively united thanks to her efforts, and the town's security and atmosphere were much better than in other towns.
This is precisely the main reason why she humbled herself and asked Illulian for help.
With the addition of Illulian, a powerful force, the success rate of raiding the Mistbone Nest has greatly increased.
Just then, a guild intelligence officer came to report: "Steward, we have just received news that the three monster leaders have left their lair and are now scattered throughout the Misty Forest."
Roseline's expression changed—her worst fears had come true.
"It seems there's no way to wipe them all out now."
Lin Er hadn't originally intended to participate in the discussion, but seeing this, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Deacon, why not eliminate one or two of them first, and then gradually eliminate the rest?"
Roseline looked up and shook her head: "You don't understand. These dragons' minions are extremely vengeful. Even if only one or two leaders escape, they will surely come back for revenge in the future. I personally am not afraid, but the ordinary farmers outside the city are likely to become their targets, and who knows how many innocent people will lose their lives."
I see. No wonder Butler Roslin was so cautious and hesitant.
Lin Er pondered, "If we reduce the elemental power of the forest, will the poisonous fog dissipate?"
"Theoretically, it's possible." Roslin looked at him. "Do you have a way?"
Lin Er replied, "I can give it a try."
Helena, standing nearby with heavy shields, warned sternly, "Kid, this is no joke."
Lin Er cautiously replied, "I can't guarantee that it will all be dispelled, but it should be able to eliminate some of it."
A silence fell over everyone. Roseline spoke first: "If we can really dispel some of the poisonous fog, things will be much easier. What are your requirements?"
Lin Er replied, "I need as much Star Vein Silver Fern and Dragon Blood Ginseng as possible."
This wasn't him deliberately trying to take advantage. When the Peiyuan Pill is formed, it absorbs a large amount of spiritual energy. The more it is refined, the more spiritual energy it absorbs, which is just enough to consume the elemental power of the Misty Forest.
Roslinn looked troubled, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I'll try my best to collect some for you."
She already knew that Lin Er was acquiring these two magical plants. Miss Ellie used her connections to sweep up all the stock in Blackrock City.
It is no longer available on the market, but some old masters may still have some in their private plantations.
—I'll pull out those potted plants in the Maestro's tower when I get back today!
Roseline then explained the general plan for the raid, saying that they would start the operation the next day once everyone was present. After understanding the plan, everyone gradually dispersed.
Lin'er, Flora, and Ilulian returned to the camp together.
Ilulian asked Lin'er, "Can you really eliminate the poisonous fog?"
Lin Er laughed and said, "Sister Ilulian, don't you believe me?"
Illulian shook her head: "As far as I know, it's extremely difficult for outsiders to destroy such a magic array that blends with nature. I'm afraid the guild members might not trust you."
"That's alright." Linton paused for a moment, then continued, "Sister Ilulian, if you see that lizard-like demi-human leader, I hope you will try your best to capture him alive."
"Capture them alive?" Illulian hesitated for a moment and said, "That's a bit difficult. I rarely leave survivors in battle."
Lin Er was taken aback. He didn't insist, but instead said, "If we really can't capture him alive, I hope you can find his apothecary and bring back his potions."
"That's no problem."
Ilulian readily agreed.
Lin Er felt slightly relieved upon seeing this.
Time flies.
Before we knew it, it was evening.
Lin Erdantian still had half of the spiritual energy left to refine, so he went to Flora again.
"Flora, let's continue our dual cultivation tonight."
"it is good."
Flora readily agreed.
Hmm, why is she being so proactive tonight?
She was so shy last night.
Lin Er looked at Flora and saw her wink at him, her eyes full of allure.
His heart skipped a beat.
Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.
