Chapter 280 (1/2)
It was just a massacre.
Sean let wamis go, but he didn't let go of the slave hunters he brought. Seventy two people finally left about sixty bodies and escaped about five or six people. This number does not matter to Sean. Anyway, the reason why he hit hard on the slave hunting team is simply to frighten and show determination to the kingdom of dabion. If you really want to explain, it can only be said that the slave hunting team has bad luck.
As for whether the Duke would send another slave team to sneak in secretly, Sean didn't care, because William would be responsible for the next thing. If William can't even solve these stowaways, he will be ashamed of what Sean expects of him. Moreover, if the reconstruction of panda town is successful, the import and export of the whole gorge rift valley will be completely included in its monitoring and inspection scope. If you want to be lazy, you can even set up checkpoints. Anyway, it will take about ten days to go back and forth.
At present, the biggest problem in Sean territory is that his military strength is beginning to be a little stretched.
With 6000 troops, it is definitely more than enough for him to stick to the panda collar, and it can even deter the two barons around him. However, after annexing the Viscount of Rudd and the Baron of lonnis, Sean's actual territory now is basically equivalent to that of an earl. As long as he is annexing a baron of normal scale, his territory will really be equivalent to that of Athena's Tonnis.
A knight who has the Earl's collar can't be justified anyway. At least he should be officially upgraded to a real aristocrat. If he is lucky, the title of an earl can't run away. However, nominally, he still belongs to Athena's family, so it is impossible to obtain the prefix of real power or strength. However, he has laid such a foundation in a year. I'm afraid other nobles in the Principality of Ryan will never underestimate Sean.
So the real problem Sean faces now is a serious shortage of military strength.
Because of this, Sean asked William to go to the trade capital again. This must be supplemented with regard to the military strength of the territory.
As for this trip to the wilderness, Sean really didn't come to catch slaves.
After passing through the No. 1 fire cave, the knife wind became more violent, and the traces of the land and mountain walls cut by the knife became more obvious. However, this has absolutely nothing to do with smoothness. Let alone the gullies on the ground, the edges and corners of the mountain wall will break the skin immediately after being touched. However, if they are not scratched, the injury will not be very serious, and it is easy to stop bleeding.
After a day's trip, I finally arrived at the No. 2 fire cave. The time point was very accurate, just at nightfall.
But when he entered the No. 2 fire hole, Sean could clearly feel the colder temperature.
If the temperature in No. 1 fire cave is only about zero, the temperature in No. 2 fire cave is three or four degrees below zero. There is obvious ice gas in the cave, but there is no dry and wet reaction. Only when you touch the mountain of the cave can you feel the bone cold, but it is not like the moist smell of the ice cave, Even if you put your hands on it for a long time, your hands won't get wet after leaving the mountain.
Cecilia looked at Sean curiously: ”is there anything special?”
”Yes.” Sean nodded. ”I have a doubt at the moment.”
”What is it?” Cecilia is a magician. She loves magic from the bottom of her heart. Otherwise, she would not show such amazing talent, so she is naturally infected with many magicians' problems - of course, for magicians, this is not a problem, but for ordinary people, This is the weirdness of magicians - their desire for knowledge has completely exceeded the scope that normal people can imagine.
”These caves are definitely not formed naturally.” Sean took out the dead bone and tried to knock down a stone from the mountain, but he found that it was surprisingly hard. It couldn't be knocked down with the sharpness of the dead bone. You know, unless it was a high-quality weapon, any weapon and dead bone would be mercilessly cut off, ”you see, So it is absolutely the funniest joke in the world to say that these caves are artificially dug. ”
Cecilia's eyes were wide open and her face was incredible.
Dead bone is an epic weapon. She knows it. Sean didn't hide it from her. Although an epic weapon is not necessarily the sharpest weapon in the world, any equipment above legendary has very special abilities. Under normal circumstances, unless it is a high-quality weapon specially quenched for sharpness, Otherwise, epic weapons can absolutely stand out from all weapons in terms of sharpness, but they can't leave any traces in the cave?
”Try outside the cave!” Cecilia reacted immediately.
Sean immediately understood when he thought about it and immediately walked out of the cave.
At this time, it had been some time at night. Sean didn't have the habit of carrying a pocket watch. However, according to the normal situation, it should be around 10 o'clock, and the knife wind outside the cave seemed to become more violent. In this case, Sean has asked Tina to test the ice armour technique. The ice armour that could have lasted about an hour or broken only after Sean hit it with all his strength can only last for about 20 minutes in the environment of blade wind. It can be seen that the energy consumption is very large.
