The breeze whimpered and flowed across the red earth. After the battle, Ivor's army finally collapsed, and the remaining demons tried to escape back to Ivor through the original route. What awaits them is the barbarian assault group led by Gargaro and a large number of orc warriors. The few demons who tried to hide were also found and killed by Xiao Langji's wolf pack. The main force of the Prism Mercenary Group has almost no combat effectiveness due to the effects of stimulants, with only a few elites remaining on guard around them. In addition to these nearly unconscious mercenaries, the Prism Mercenary Group lost nearly a thousand people. This is almost half of the troops in the Griffin Empire. Fortunately, the losses of the elite troops of the Prism Mercenary Group were not large. At least, the backbone forces such as Venigo, Sophie, and Shirley were not lost, the Thunder Lizard was only slightly injured, and the losses of the elite troops were not significant. Under the cover of the main force, they did not withstand the demons' strongest offensive head-on. Sophie¡¯s expression was very cold. Clearly, she wasn't happy. "Sophie, you should know that if we don't meet the enemy here, the Queen's coalition forces will be attacked from both sides." Venigo waved his hand at her and said, "With our strength, it is quite good to do this. "I know. But I'm still very sad." Sophie said a few words, "After all, nearly a thousand lives have been lost." "Sophie, we can't save everyone." She said seriously, "Don't let yourself bear too heavy a burden. That will affect your judgment." "I just want to save more people" Sophie looked at Venigo with tears in her eyes. It¡¯s really rare that Sophie, who has always been as strong as steel, actually sheds tears like this. Venigo couldn't help but stepped forward, hugged her and patted her head gently. "Have peace of mind. The weight of life cannot be calculated simply by quantity. Otherwise, you will fall into some kind of righteous mistake." Sophie raised her face in confusion - in fact, with her proud height, she did not She wasn't much shorter than Wenigo, but Sophie curled up naturally after being embraced by Wenigo. "To calculate the value of life simply by numbers, you will sacrifice fifty people for a hundred people, twenty people for fifty people, one person for three people If this continues, nothing will be gained in the end. "We need to see the root of happiness and misfortune, and try our best to eliminate the root cause. Sophie, your belief is much stronger than mine, but it is too much." If you are stubborn, you may make an irreversible mistake." Sophie was silent. "Okay, let's deal with the matter at hand first." Venigo whispered, "Paid the dead and led the wounded to retreat. You take the Tigress Squadron and Little Wolf Girl's wolf pack to protect them and go first. Me and the others "After that." "Yes." Sophie wiped the corners of her eyes, broke away from Venigo's arms and stood up straight, and replied seriously. ¡°See you later,¡± On the frontal battlefield, the duel between Queen Catherine and Old King Griffin finally ended. For some reason, Queen Catherine always felt that Her Majesty the King, who was reborn as an undead creature, was deliberately letting things slip. Although this was an extremely fierce and hard-fought battle, Catherine was still sensitive to the weakness shown by the opponent intentionally or unintentionally. ¡°Either there is something wrong with Archibald¡¯s necromancy magic, or the old king¡¯s will is still there? No matter which way it was, the coalition forces led by Catherine won the battle with a tragic victory. Taking this opportunity, Archibald proposed to negotiate peace. He showed Diya¡¯s trump card. Ivor and Negan support Dia's side. If a war breaks out, these militant guys will be happy to join in the massacre. The Griffin Empire gained support from the elves of Alivi, the dwarves of Stone City and the Kingdom of Enroth. As neutral Titanian mercenaries do not mind helping any party - as long as the price is enough. Catherine actually didn¡¯t want it to end like this. But she had just buried her father and needed time to rebuild the Griffin Empire, and she couldn't afford to fight anymore. At the same time, with the end of the main war, the alliance between Alivi's elves and humans may soon part ways due to conflicts in their ideals. At this time, Venigo's advice was delivered at the right time. He proposed to establish an undefended neutral area in the poor land between the two major alliances, allowing merchants and mercenaries to enter. This area serves as a buffer zone and is not controlled by the armies of the two major alliances. It is controlled by a merchant council composed of unofficial forces such as Venigo's Prism mercenaries, Titanian mercenaries, and the Queen's Dog Chamber of Commerce. This idea was finally accepted by Queen Catherine and Archibald. Of course, it was not that no one had objections to this plan behind the scenes, but with Venigo's small actions, the opponents finally gave up their original proposals one by one.Support this huge project. Of course, Dia and the Griffin Empire will send certain forces to monitor this neutral land. Venigo didn't care. He quickly broke down the specific plan into specific measures and assigned them to the Prism mercenaries, Titania mercenaries and the Queen's Dog Chamber of Commerce, so that they could each complete what they needed to do. The plan is actually ready-made. From Eskarton¡¯s database, Venigo can find countless various information. Some pieces of information are completely useless in the eyes of Eskardon, but in Venigo's hands, they can be used as waste - such as the business circle construction plan of a certain kingdom in a certain plane, with a slight change, that's it. Venigo has the construction plan for the Prism Town in his hands. It even details what projects each construction team should complete and how to adjust time and coordinate the construction period. Venigo also copied a series of systems such as project visa forms that should not have appeared in this time and space. The effect is obviously good. During this period, Venigo began to collect information about the Holy Emblem fragments through the Smugglers' Guild, the Queen's Dog, and the mercenaries who came here. After all, these strange little things are useless in the hands of most people. In the name of "collection", Venigo bought five holy emblem fragments at a "high price" of five hundred gold coins per fragment. The fragments of the Holy Emblem are extremely difficult to destroy and can continuously produce trace amounts of magic power, like a perpetual motion machine. Even in the eyes of knowledgeable magicians, they are just relatively rare materials. Five hundred gold coins is definitely beyond most people's psychological expectations. So, in just over a month, Venigo got five fragments. At this time, Prism Town could only lay the foundation, but it was not fully built. Of course, Venigo does not need to personally check the specific construction. He threw the matter into the hands of Lomond and Soft, and fled without a trace with Sophie, Honey, Shirley and the others. The Prism Manor far away in Enroth is also slowly transferring all its power to Prism Town. In the Kingdom of Enroth, the mines in Krigs Town and Sweetwater Town controlled by Venigo were sold to the High Council at a low price. The Brood Tree fell into dormancy and was transported out of the country by the Prism Mercenary Group through smuggling channels and came to Prism Town. This seemingly simple transportation work cost Venigo five thousand gold coins. Without a shocking enough bribe, how can the border guards ignore this big pile of weird stuff and transport it out of the country? ¡°Similarly, there are the devil cacti and monster farms in Prism Manor. The transportation of these things also caused a lot of headaches for Shalero, who is responsible for this work. ¡°However, Saleiro successfully completed the transportation work. Although a certain number of cacti and modified creatures were lost in the process, it was within Venigo's acceptance if more than half of the number could be transported safely. The cadres of the Prism Mercenary Group will do these tasks very well. Venigo has good vision and luck. Basically, the cadres he appoints can play their due role in their respective positions. At this time, Venigo and Sophie were not idle either. "So, Brother Little Fox, where are we going?" Hani asked with confusion on her face as she rode the big cat. "There is a group of cute Smurfs on the other side of the mountain and on the other side of the sea No, I mean, I want to borrow something from the archmages in Cloud City," Venigo said, "But the dwarf slaves they commonly use look like It¡¯s really blue.¡± ¡°What do you want to borrow?¡± Shirley asked. "Fragments of the Holy Emblem." Venigo said with a smile, "I got news that those fanatical researchers have all the remaining fragments." "They won't give it to you easily." Honey said. "That's why I plan to steal it directly." Venigo said without any sense of restraint. "Brother Youhu, stealing is not good." Shirley reminded. "Five hundred gold coins per fragment. If they refuse to sell it, I will ask them to hire prisms to complete the task and use the fragments as reward. If that doesn't work I will really steal it and get some valuables of equal value. In exchange for something," Venigo said. Even Sophie didn¡¯t say much. Presumably, Sophie has no idea about this "little evil". After all, Venigo's actions saved many people, and his merits were immense if he prevented the two great powers Dia and Griffin from continuing the war. "There is no good war, no bad peace" Sophie whispered. "The target is the city in the clouds, charge!" Xiaolangji drove several giant wolves to run past Venigo quickly, shouting and rushing to the front. "Are we just going to walk like this?" Honey asked. "Of course not. The transportation I prepared is in the wasteland ahead. For some reasons, I didn't plan to share my little surprise with others." Half an hour later, Venigo and his group arrived deep in the wasteland. It is a vast place, but there is a ring surrounded by twenty-meter-high hills. In this ring, there is a huge construction site built with countless wooden frames. There, a huge thing lay quietly. Its name isthe Kirov airship.
