Lord of Flames - Chapter 496
Chapter 496: General Zach, who was frightened by Oasis!
While the armored general spoke, he still had a map in his hand.
This map looked a little old. It seemed like it had a history of several decades.
“The orc kingdom is incomparably weak. Conquering the orc kingdom is enough for our vanguard. That orc kingdom happens to be at the edge of the desert. Let’s go. Let’s take it down first!”
The armored general waved his hand and gave the order.
Following that, a large number of sand boats headed west.
The bottom of these sand boats was flat, and it seemed to be stuck to the sand. In fact, the bottom of the sand boat was still a certain distance away from the sand. It felt a little like the magnetic levitation vehicle before Lin Yan transmigrated, but the principle was different.
One used technology, the other used magic.
The sand ships sailed through the desert very quickly. On each sand ship, there were hundreds of fully armed soldiers.
The dense sand boats seemed to be sailing on the surface of the sea as they rushed towards the orc kingdom.
From the sky, it was exceptionally spectacular.
Soon, they reached the west side of the Endless Desert.
There, a river separated the things.
The east side of the river was still a desert, while the west side of the river was already shaded by vegetation. It was clearly different from the desert in the east, forming a sharp contrast.
In fact, the east bank of the river was also being invaded by the oasis, and a lot of vegetation had grown.
“Huh, the desert is over so quickly?”Could it be that the Orc Kingdom has arrived?”
On the sand boat, the armored general took out a map and asked doubtfully.
The huge sand boat fleet stopped.
“No, there’s still a few thousand kilometers left.”
The armored general scanned the map and said.
“General Zach, what’s wrong?”
At this time, on a sand boat beside him, a bishop in red robes stood at the bow and asked.
This was the Cardinal of the Church. In this frontline army, this red-robed bishop led the Church’s army to the battlefield.
“It’s fine; we might have encountered an oasis. Send my orders, all sand boats will rise into the air and we will fly over this oasis.”
General Zach said.
Following General Zach’s order, the mysterious symbols on all the sand boats lit up.
These mysterious symbols were carefully drawn magic patterns.
These sand boats were not impossible to fly.
However, he could not fly too high.
In the God of Continent of Gods, the construction of flying ships required a high rank of magic skills and a large number of specialized alchemists.
Generally speaking, the kingdom could not make flying ships.
In the small empire, there were alchemical workshops that made flying ships.
In the Emperor’s Kingdom, there were many alchemist workshops.
In some emperors, the number of flying ships in a year was far lower than the number of flying ships in a month. However, it didn’t last long.
For example, in the Eternal Night Empire, most Earl Nobles had magic bags for flying ships.
Some Viscounts, barons, and wealthy merchants all had flying ships.
However, for flying ships, the biggest problem was actually the energy problem.
All flying ships needed magic crystals as a driving force, and the price of magic crystals was actually quite expensive.
In the entire Continent of Gods, only the Flame Empire could use the energy stored in the Space Magic Stones as the driving power. After using it, it could be recharged repeatedly, reducing the cost of using the flying ship to the extreme.
General Zach’s empire was located on the edge of the desert, and there was also a vast expanse of the desert over there, so they invented this dual-purpose sand boat.
In the desert, they could hover close to the ground, which would save the most energy.
And once they encountered obstacles, these sand boats could fly again.
However, these sand boats did not fly high.
The huge fleet quickly rose into the air.
Not long after the captain took off, a rank seven sorcerer flew back.
“General, hundreds of kilometers ahead are an oasis.”
The rank seven Magister said.
“Hundreds of kilometers of oasis?”
General Zach took out the map and looked at it.
“How long did this map take?”
General Zach asked.
“General, this map was drawn by one of our mapping teams ten years ago. His Majesty intended to expand, so he first sent out a mapping team to map it. However, after knowing that the western side of the Endless Desert was not far from the Eternal Night Empire, His Majesty gave up on expanding to the west.”
A well-dressed civilian next to General Zach said.
“But ten years ago, this place was still a desert.”
General Zach said.
“General, the mapping team will not make mistakes. Could it be that this oasis has appeared in these ten years? “In the past ten years, a huge oasis has appeared. No one can do it except for God’s methods.”
On the other side of General Zach, a deputy general said.
“Keep moving; see what the hell this oasis is.”
General Zach said in a low voice.
The huge fleet quickly entered the oasis.
And in every direction of the fleet, there were a few magic guides who went out to scout the way.
To be able to use the Magister as a spy was enough to show how powerful the empire was.
It was at least an empire many times stronger than the previous Purple Gold Empire!
……
The speed of this fleet was not very fast. It was only two to three hundred kilometers per hour.
However, after flying for three to four hours, Oasis was still there.
Looking around, he could still see large patches of green vegetation, as if the desert on the map did not exist.
On the flying ship, a large number of soldiers came to the side of the ship, poked their heads out, and looked around.
The expression on General Zach’s face became more and more serious.
The sudden appearance of this oasis made him feel extremely strange.
“General, to the north, it’s all Oases’. I’ve been to the ground before, but there’s still sand under the oasis, which means this place used to be a desert.”
A Magister flew back.
“General, to the south is also an oasis.”
Another Magister said.
“How far did you fly?”
General Zach asked.
“General, it’s at least five hundred kilometers, and I’m flying high into the sky to see it. It’s still an Endless Oasis to the north. According to my estimation, this oasis is probably tens of thousands of miles wide!”
Towards the north, the Magister said.
Ten thousand miles!
This number made General Zach’s eyes shrink.
Because on the map in his hand, the area of the desert to the west of the Endless Desert was about ten thousand miles north-south, and the east-west was also an irregular shape.
According to the Magister’s speculations, didn’t that mean that the vast desert in the west of the Endless Desert had all turned into an oasis within ten years?
But how was that possible!
However, the fleet was almost a thousand miles deep into the Endless Desert. It was still a vast oasis…
This made General Zach feel that this rank 7 Magister’s speculation was very likely true!
“Have you seen humans in Oasis?”
General Zach asked again.
“Thanks to the general, there is no one yet.”
The two Magisters asked.
They had never seen humans before.
The western part of the Endless Desert had turned into an oasis.
But currently, Lucy, the head of the Medusa Tribe, was focusing on the western region.
A few months ago, in the eastern area, Lucy had brought over a million captives. With the help of magic, she opened up a river that was all.
After all, there were too few people in Desert Province.
There were only a few tens of thousands of Medusa Snake dowagers, and they were still unable to cultivate.
Moreover, Desert Province was not suitable for over-cultivation.
“General Zach, why is there such a large oasis here?”
At this moment, the Cardinal on the flying ship could not help but fly straight to General Zach’s sand boat, looking down at Oasis Road.
General Zach unfolded the map and said,” Your Eminence, look, this is a map drawn ten years ago. At that time, this area was still full of deserts. His Majesty’s drafting team shouldn’t have made any mistakes. Also, twenty years ago, a wandering poet from the Empire came here and described the Medusa he happened to see in the poem.”
At this point, General Zach’s tone changed slightly. With a trace of seriousness, he said,” But right now, this desert, which is the size of ten provinces, has probably become an oasis!”
The Cardinal heard General Zach and took a deep breath,” Such a large oasis?”
General Zach said,” Yes, Your Eminence, to turn such a large area of desert into an oasis in ten years, even if our entire empire tried their best, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to do it unless I’m a god ……”
“Even my God can’t do it!”
The Cardinal said in a low voice.
After saying that, he felt that his description was wrong and added:
“I don’t know much about water and the rules of life, and I wouldn’t have spent so much of my Divine energy to do such meaningless things. But if not for the intervention of the gods, I’m afraid that it would only be possible for dozens of Saints who are proficient in water and life rules to join forces.”
“It’s impossible to have dozens of Sanctuary, so this oasis is probably the work of some God!”
The Cardinal concluded.
“Then this is probably the Divine Kingdom?”
General Zach said.
The Cardinal said,” If there is no one, what country are we talking about? “General Zach, there’s no need to worry too much. A truly powerful god wouldn’t be so bored as to do such a thing. Moreover, God’s matter will be dealt with by the gods. We’re going to conquer the Eternal Night Empire. If this oasis scares you, then wouldn’t it be better for you to fight and retreat against the powerful Eternal Night Empire?”
General Zach’s expression froze,” Your Eminence is right, I was indeed frightened.”
“Report, General. We found the Medusa up ahead. They asked us to leave this oasis immediately, saying that this is the territory of the Flame Empire! ”
At this moment, a Magister flew over to report.
