Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: Deciding on a Strategy Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: Deciding on a Strategy Li Yao thought for a moment and said, “Looking at the map, after the fusion the other side should be Black Stone Plateau. Black Stone Plateau and Blackrock Mountain are separated by the territory of the Blackstone Dwarves. However, with the decline of the Blackstone Dwarves, now an Orc Tribe occupies the land. I heard your son also established a base there. One must know that this place seals the passage to the land of fire origin. It seems your son has colluded with the Fire Elemental Lord.”

The Black Dragon Queen’s expression remained indifferent, “With the Black Dragon King gone, he naturally wants to become the Black Dragon King. Unfortunately, without the power of Earth, he will never be able to become the Black Dragon King. So, he indulged in Alchemy and gathered a group of people to research so-called new powers. In fact, he doesn’t know that every move of his does not escape the eyes of his bastard father. Netsaleo has gone mad and probably won’t consider father-son affection. Besides, he never listens to me, so my influence over him is limited.”

The Black Dragon Queen explained briefly. In fact, Li Yao clearly knew that with Deathwing’s madness, those aspiring to be the Black Dragon King were not limited to the Black Dragon Prince Nefarian. The Black Dragon Queen and the Black Dragon Princess probably all wanted to become the next Guardian of the Earth and achieve a demigod status.

Moreover, because the Black Dragon Queen was scorched by Deathwing’s evil fire for ten thousand years and could barely take care of herself, it was naturally impossible for her to discipline her children. For ten thousand years, the siblings relied on each other, and naturally, their relationship was good, but with their parents, it was not so great.

Take the Black Stone Plateau, for example, it’s very high in elevation, densely populated with Elemental Monsters, as well as a variety of highland Warcraft and a vast number of Ogres. Not many players came here to level up in my past life. It was too damn dangerous, with high mountains, long roads, and extreme peril.

“I just mentioned it casually. The edge of the Black Stone Plateau itself is a continuous mountain range, desolate and uninhabited. Now, with the addition of the mountain range at the edge of the Dead Light Area and the Gryphon Plateau, it’s width has exceeded a map. Even Flying Mounts will find it difficult to cross this mountain range. Looking at the map, there’s only one Rift Valley that connects the two. The locations you mentioned, Heart of Devil’s Fort and Griffin’s Fort, restrain each other across the canyon and the great plains of the canyon, which is indeed a good spot.”

Li Yao became more satisfied the more he looked at the location. Even without the Mechanical Core (Titan’s Heart), he decided to complete the chieftain task assigned by the queen right here, and establish a base that would serve as the perfect laboratory for the queen.

Nicholas thought for a moment and then said, “There’s one thing my Lord needs to be aware of, there is a passage leading to the underground world behind the Blackheart Castle.”

“Are you worried that the Dark Council will launch a United Army?” Li Yao frowned, that indeed was a problem. He chose this place mainly because it wasn’t easy for the opposing forces to dispatch troops here. If there was a direct passage, then the location was almost useless.

Nicholas shook his head, “No, the passage actually links to an underground world that is under the dominion of the fallen elves.”

Li Yao frowned, “Fallen elves?”

Nicholas nodded and replied, “Yes, fallen elves. Although they are also dark creatures, they are not part of the Dark Council. According to legends, during the Ancient Times, when the planes were sealed, our Blood Race and the fallen elves were both branches of Ancient Elves. To survive after the plane was sealed, some followed the Ancestors and worshipped the Blood God, eventually leading the Ancestor to godhood. But they were severely injured and exiled to an unknown place. Others worshipped the Spider Queen Ros, and due to Ros, even though seriously wounded, still alive, the fallen elves have dominated their own territory, and the Dark Council has always stayed out of their way. This fortress is said to be against the Iron Alliance, but in reality, it also guards against the fallen elves.”

“If that is the case, then it’s easier to handle. Let’s settle on this place,” Li Yao decided on the spot. “As you know, if I develop mechanics, I need a vast amount of minerals. Such a vast mountain range is bound to have veins of ore, and my Worm Tribe also needs a concealed stronghold. Moreover, this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If I take over here, I am confident I can hold it.”

The three of them discussed some more details, and Li Yao finalised the place.

Then it was time to set off. According to Nicholas, even riding a fast mount, it would take three days to reach that place at the quickest. Now with the planes merged and all the cities and fortresses on full alert, one needed to avoid dangerous areas, and it would take at least seven days.

Li Yao knew he had no choice, otherwise, with his small force, if it weren’t for Nicholas leading the way, he may have already hit a snag.

Fortunately, in the castle, there was Nicholas’s ride, a floating carriage pulled by two land beasts. It even utilized a bit of space-folding technology, making it extremely spacious.

To ensure truly unimpeded travel, Li Yao even released Collet from the Frame Space.

As a result, Nicholas and Collet almost came to blows, one calling the other a ‘midget gourd’ and the other a ‘bloodsucking madam.’ If it weren’t for Li Yao’s stern orders, a fight might have indeed broken out, given that the hatred between the two races had seeped deep into their bloodlines.

Although both had accepted the fact that they were now mixing with Li Yao, they still looked at each other with distaste. Li Yao couldn’t reconcile them, but there was no need, as long as they didn’t sabotage each other, their moods were irrelevant.

Li Yao directly opened a portal to the Frame Space inside the carriage, then went into the Frame Space to continue preparing the Mechanical Legion and to improve his engineering proficiency. When tired, he would sleep in the small bedroom of the carriage, or correspond with other guild members via letters.

Or he would watch others’ livestreams. In the span of a few days, Li Yao had seen many impressive players in livestreams, each with their own fortunes, acquiring different legions.

Even many that Li Yao himself coveted, but a person’s energy is always limited. He couldn’t possibly cover every base. He had to seize the time to make himself stronger, lest he be surpassed by others.

Moreover, war mode had nothing to do with competitive matches. Those who had been holding back and extraterrestrial players had all exerted their strength. It was like a sky full of stars shining, reminding Li Yao that he must not stop progressing.

As for the guild, Tongtong and the others also had their own ways of acquiring armies. Starfire had indeed better initial conditions than the vast majority of guilds, not to mention compared to ordinary players, so they were generally quite successful.

Three events were particularly noteworthy. One, Qin Feng Yi had tamed an Undead Lich as her lieutenant Hero, and with that lieutenant Hero, her Undead Army exhibited extraordinary combat prowess in her hands.

Then, there was Flash having tamed a gravely wounded Druid as her lieutenant Hero. Initially, she did it out of kindness, but after the Druid recovered, they discovered this unimpressive-looking Druid was actually a high-ranking leader of an advanced race, and a Tier 6 at that. This fellow directly helped her complete the Lord quest, allowing her to become an official Lord even faster than Li Yao.

The third noteworthy event was also related to Flash’s tamed lieutenant Hero. When this lieutenant Hero arrived at Starfire’s main base, they immediately discovered the sapling of the World Tree.

Of course, it was a sapling to the World Tree, but in reality, it was much thicker than even a centennial tree, its foliage completely shading the Lord’s residence.

This discovery delighted the Druid, and finding the un-hatched Dragon Egg was another cause for joy. He spent his days by it, unwilling to leave even a step away…
