A quarter of an hour later, Kike, who had an inexplicable fear of the unknown, looked regretfully at the gray-robed mage who was directing the apprentices to adjust something outside the cabin with an excited face and said:

"Sir Anthony, is it too late for me to change my mind now?"

He clearly remembered that this guy had told them before that the finance department had clearly approved the budget for the construction of a small portal by the lord himself.

"Teacher, what on earth is this? Why do I feel a little scared?"

Kangevian, who was behind Kike, had goose bumps on his skin because of his instinctive fear.

If you change the angle at this moment, you can see that the 'fully armed' Kike and Kangevian were stuffed into a streamlined cylindrical metal device similar to a mechanical structure.

Outside the device, the mages headed by Anthony seemed to be conducting final calculations and security checks.

After hearing this, Anthony raised his head and glanced at them who were worried, then smiled and said in relief:

"Don't worry too much. We have verified the theory of this magical power propulsion launcher many times. According to probability calculation, it is at least 26.3% safer than ultra-long-distance teleportation without coordinate confirmation.

"Besides, building and opening a small remote portal also requires a lot of preparation time. Aren't you afraid that you will end up among a group of demons as soon as you go out? Besides, preparing the portal is not as fast as this method. According to our calculations

, within 8 minutes after the thruster is successfully launched, you will be able to successfully reach the territory of Comanso."

The 'Advanced Mobile Combat Golem' research and development plan submitted by him thirty years ago was once again rejected by the Ministry of Finance for the 23rd time on the grounds that it was too cost-effective, fragile, and unsuitable for modern warfare. At the same time, his father Herb

He returned with honor from the battlefield of the Moon Sea.

When his father handed the military bonus awarded to him and the 'pension' he had saved for most of his life into his hands with a small Northland Bank card, he patted his frost-white head as gently as he did when he was a child.

When his head unconditionally supported his research career in such a wordless way, Anthony's constant mage armor broke through in an instant, and he woke up from his 'Gundam' dream.

Since this project is a bit too advanced, let’s find some projects that are not so time-breaking.

It was also at that time that the Nether Civilization Technical Manual given by the lord pointed out the direction for him like a lighthouse on the coast:

He could use the Nether magic ship as his ultimate goal to develop a series of deep space magic technology!

However, this goal was also a bit too high, so Anthony had to start with something relatively simple, such as the current magic power propulsion launcher.

I have heard about the lord's troubles: the mobile dream network using slime as a medium is still limited to the Northland. Once it leaves the Northland, the real-time nature of the information will drop back to the previous century.

The mages of Zeelandia have also thought of many ways, such as using magic technology to amplify the frequency of the slime hive mind.

However, this biological wavelength is easily attenuated by various obstacles on land, but this biological thinking wavelength cannot be preserved and transmitted through physical media for the time being.

At that time, Lord Levis slapped his head and said to their group of mages:

Why don't we also launch satellites?

After hearing that the lord actually thought of launching slimes into the orbit of the planet Corell to serve as a transmission medium, the mages immediately felt that a new door had opened to them.

Especially after reading the book "The Great Development of the Sky Realm" written by Oberon, the great arcanist of Nese, the mages of Zeelandia suddenly seemed to have enlightened themselves, and all kinds of weird ideas came to them like a fountain.

pop out.

However, Anthony still believes that the method of launching the 'Slime' satellite is relatively reliable.

But even with some of the technological heritage left by the Nether Empire, it is still a long and arduous task to fully understand the technology of Tianyu, and the most troublesome one is materials science.

Although the Nether Empire had not entered the industrial age, Nether at that time had the most advanced clustered alchemy workshops in the entire continent.

For this reason, Anthony and his magic research team spent eight years to complete the project planning and design, and it took more than 20 years to develop an alchemical thermal insulation coating that can withstand the heat generated by atmospheric friction for satellite projects.

.

Then he came to this city adjacent to the desert with the lord's approval and project construction funds to build the Zelandia Sky Domain Project launch base.

Since they are going to launch satellites, they naturally do this kind of thing of launching magic thrusters into the orbit of the planet. The only problem is that the data cannot get immediate and effective feedback.

It was at this critical moment that they received the task of building a large portal to receive the immigrants from Cormanthor. They also waited for the beholder Zeke and the black dragon Kangevian.

Anthony was immediately delighted!

What does it mean to have a girl offer her thigh to you when you are dozing off?

What does it mean when a Drow wife knocks down the clothes drying rack?

Isn’t this delivered to your door?

But whether it was Anthony's expression or his comforting words at this time, it was so disturbing to Kike and the others. Kick's eyes immediately twitched and he exclaimed:

"Just a theory?! Doesn't that mean you haven't really succeeded yet?

"Wait a minute! What does eight minutes mean? I clearly remember that this place is at least two thousand kilometers away from Cormanso!"

He simply couldn't imagine that being stuffed in this can and flying at more than ten times the speed of sound, his eyeballs wouldn't explode on the spot due to the increase in blood pressure, right?

But Anthony asked his assistant to help them slowly close the hatch? He waved his hands and said:

"Don't worry? If it were someone else, I would be really worried about what might happen, but one of you is a legendary black dragon in his prime, and the other is a rogue master. With your physiques, there will be no problem at all? What if something goes wrong before landing? Also

You can definitely let Kangevian take you to make an emergency landing!

"Wish you all a safe journey? Have a pleasant journey."

"No, no, no! Let us go!"

As the cabin door closed with a click? Kick's eyes immediately went blank.

Although Kangevian behind him couldn't understand what they were saying at all, this didn't stop him from feeling something bad.

This bad old man of humanity is so bad! I really believed him!

boom!

Accompanied by an indescribable heavy pressure, Kike and the others, who were dizzy sitting in the small cabin, felt that they seemed to be rising slowly from the ground, then getting faster and faster, getting higher and higher.

"No no no no? No!!!"

Accompanied by a wailing that only the two of them could hear, in an instant they rushed out of the stratosphere amidst the joy of the mages and turned into the brightest star in the sky.

Time goes back to four hours ago.

The Great Forest of Cormanzo.

Ellini, who was executing the evacuation plan relatively smoothly, finally ran into trouble in the valley.

But it's not so much a trouble as it is an inner test.

She looked at the bottom of the cliff. The people in the valley were still immersed in the worry-free life of vast orchards and farmland. After some mental struggle, she finally failed to shake the kindness in her heart. It was not long before the elves and half-elves were evacuated.

After handing over the follow-up work to his deputy, he crossed the standing stone that had stood for more than 1,200 years and stepped into the valley.

Because here, today, after the collapse of the Kingdom of Cormanthor, there may still be more than 200,000 humans living here.

In the distant past, this open wetland in the south of Cormanthor was a paradise for ogres, deer, bears and los beasts, and therefore became a natural dining hall for dragons.

The decline of the dragon clan made the power of the elves become stronger in this land, and the territory also expanded rapidly in Cormanthor. At the same time, humans also migrated from Jondas and Tumis in the south and settled on the edge of the forest.

.

Around AD 200 in the valley calendar [the date of reclamation approval], scattered people here gradually gathered together and established farms and villages. In the west of Cormyr and in the south of Sambia, they cut down forests without scruples to build large-scale settlements.

farm.

However, the elves living in the valley are very disgusted with the destruction of the forest by humans. They firmly resist the pioneers here from destroying the forest, so that for a long time, human colonies in the valley have been maintained in a dotted state.

The King of Elves, the Crowned Eltargrim, foresaw that this hostile state would eventually lead to the annihilation of the elves, so he began to make plans for the peaceful coexistence of the elves and valley residents living in the forest empire Cormanthor.

In the pact, human and elven wizards built a standing stone in the center of Cormanthor to symbolize the unity and friendship of the two races, humans and elves. The ancestors of the Vale people then made a promise to never develop their own footprints.

Traveling deep into the woodland near Cormanthor, they obtained permission from the elves to exploit the edges of the forest where no ancient trees grew.

And this is also the origin of the valley calendar that is currently the most widely used by humans.

When the early people of the valley were struggling hard to survive, the elves of Cormanthor gradually became stronger and their trust in humans also increased day by day. During the most prosperous period of the valley, the population once exceeded the 600,000 mark.

But this golden age in which people of all races lived in harmony and learned from each other in this kingdom only lasted five centuries.

With the collapse of Mith Drannor in 714 Vale Calendar, that dreamlike era of peace was gone forever, and the much-tested agreement finally came to an end.

However, despite the fact that the agreement between humans and elves no longer exists, some people in the valley still abide by some of the principles stipulated in the agreement. While they openly cut down the forest land that originally belonged to the elves in the agreement to open up orchards and farmland, they can...

On the one hand, it continues the tradition and protects its countryside from outsiders, but it also indirectly protects the former borders of the Kingdom of Cormanzo to a certain extent.

In Elline's view, the humans in these valleys may be conflicted, greedy, and selfish, but they should not suffer such unreasonable disasters.

At least, ordinary civilians are innocent, and they should not die under the butcher knives of demons in ignorance and despair, with their flesh and souls eaten away and their souls devoured.

But she soon discovered that she had overestimated her own coordination ability and underestimated the stupidity of these humans.

They were all at this critical moment of life and death, and their first reaction after hearing their warning was actually suspicion!

I suspect that her half-elf's purpose is not pure, and that there is a conspiracy from the drow behind this.

There are even stupid guys who wonder if this is another stupid trick from the Kingdom of Cormyr in the south to 'recruit' their group of ownerless people.

After confirming that she was not 'joking', the decision made by these valley people's lords was still not to evacuate immediately, but to send scouts to try to investigate in the direction of Mith Drannor.

They didn't even seem to consider moving out of the valley.

It seems that in the eyes of most people in the valley, even when Mith Drannor collapsed, most of the elves withdrew, but they were so tenacious that they still survived, and they became more and more likely to become the masters of this forest.

trend.

It has now been divided into eleven independent regions, each with its own territory and independent government. They have their own army, trade conventions, and their own goals and characteristics. For example, Achen Valley and Harrow Valley are particularly
