Chapter 1426: Chapter 1325: So It Was the Power of Books
Beijing Time, 9:40 PM.
Ror’s voice startled Da Fei who was AFK resting: "Lord Warrior, Miss Tamilia is back!"
Back already? So soon? Da Fei excitedly looked up, and above the Mushroom Forest, he saw the giant silhouette of the Sky Ship, with a spotlight shining on his head!
—System Prompt: The First Officer Tamilia Fleet of your Independent Expedition has joined your team! Your Independent Expedition Vice Heroes Selvia, Catherine, and Anlicia have joined your team.
They’re back! In an instant, Da Fei was moved to tears, thinking of the countless times he’d gone to the bathroom for them! Great, you’re back and that’s all that matters! I promise never to let you go on Independent Expeditions again!
The next moment, Tamilia descended from the skies, flying over to Da Fei with joy: "Reporting to Lord City Lord, our forces successfully covered the breakout of two Charming Emperors and annihilated all incoming bat swarms. We also successfully supported Elena’s troops and resurrected all regular units lost in battle; elite units and above suffered no losses. Reporting to Lord City Lord!"
Haha! Wahahaha, this is the legendary feeling of commanding on the battlefield! If you overlook the awkward moments in between, the result is exhilarating, isn’t it? But this kind of thrill, I’d rather not experience.
"Great job, everyone!" Da Fei suddenly realized something: "Where’s Elena? What about Savara and Daelir?"
Tamilia smiled and said: "I was just about to report. Miss Elena believes that the Underworld is fraught with dangers, making it unsuitable to stay in one place for long. So we didn’t have enough time to process the Obsidian Mines. To make room in the Holy Vine Cargo Space, she led all Jungle Hunters and regular Druid units on foot to join us. The freed spaces were used to bring back the severely injured Nasir and a few thousand units of leftover Obsidian Mines. Savara and Daelir accompanied Elena as well."
Making space! That’s right, the Holy Vine Cargo Space currently has a transportation capacity of up to 10,000 units or Command Value. By unloading all regular units and letting the central lake consume part, combined with squeezing in the previous Purple Magic Diamonds, we can transport the remaining few thousand units of Obsidian Mines!
Smart, these NPC heroes are so clever that I don’t even need to worry! But I still feel the urgency!
Da Fei asked in shock: "How did Nasir get so badly injured?"
Tamilia shook her head: "This is something we can only ask Elena when she returns. When we first supported Elena, she was no longer at the original location. She had abandoned dozens of empty carts, and when we finally caught up with her footprints far away, she was chasing a Hell Army led by our old adversary, Master Hellhound Glaure, who had successfully looted our mining carts. I’m sure only Glaure’s Hellhounds could harm Nasir this much."
So, it wasn’t just the threat from monsters! Da Fei exclaimed: "So that’s how it is! Our mining carts were seized as well!"
Tamilia laughed: "It seems like Miss Elena’s strategy of a deliberate retreat to lure in the enemies? Anyway, with support from the Sky Ship, we defeated the enemy and reclaimed our mining carts. Everyone made significant progress and gained tremendously in this battle!"
Da Fei joyously said: "Yes, yes! I was just about to ask about that!"
At that moment, Anlicia’s voice came from the deck of the Sky Ship: "Lord City Lord, don’t just talk to Tamilia down there. We’re all waiting up here to report the battle results!"
Da Fei laughed heartily: "Alright, let me come up and hear everyone’s battle results."
Tamilia smiled as she opened a Space Gate: "I’ve been so engrossed in my conversation with the Lord. Lord, please!"
So Da Fei returned to the ship, where a circle of beloved companions were smiling at him, with Hillsea even making a deep bow: "Master, I did not disgrace my mission and successfully tracked the bat swarm!"
Damn, can’t you avoid seeking credit the moment you return? Da Fei laughed heartily: "You did well, and I didn’t let you down either. I successfully eliminated all remaining enemies in the bat nests, capturing all seven bat lairs in total. By the way, the biggest lair was level 17; have you seen one like that?"
Hillsea trembled excitedly: "Level 17? Master, did you see a large crystal in the lair?"
Da Fei chuckled: "Yes, a large red crystal, why?"
Hillsea exclaimed excitedly: "That crystal is Bloodstone Essence, equivalent to a Divine Artifact, and dismantling it will yield significant returns. With it, any new lair we build will start directly at level 10, rather than the usual level 1!"
I thought so, dismantling a level 17 structure without compensations would be unreasonable. Da Fei laughed: "Can the blood pool in the lair be recovered?"
Hillsea sighed: "Unfortunately, that’s a loss we have to bear during dismantlement."
Da Fei laughed heartily: "No losses here! Tamilia, immediately mobilize all Evil Demon Flower Demon workers to drain the blood pool in the bat lairs, just like we did with Cindigosar’s Life Pool last time."
Tamilia laughed: "Got it, I’ve finished reporting all I can—I will personally oversee the transport."
Hillsea quickly added: "I shall also go to the frontline to oversee the lair dismantlement, with Master’s permission!"
Da Fei laughed heartily: "Go ahead, go ahead—"
Da Fei suddenly remembered something and immediately added: "Tamilia, measure the lair’s space to see if the Sky Ship can fit inside. If not, proceed with the transport."
"Understood."
Indeed, although the bat nest’s space isn’t as vast as the Obsidian Mine space, fitting the Sky Ship inside would still be much more convenient.
Now it’s time to discuss the main concern I have! Da Fei smiled and asked Anlicia: "Deputy City Lord, tell me about your significant achievements!"
Anlicia laughed heartily and took out a thick, gold-covered book: "The answer is right here!"
Da Fei’s eyes widened in surprise; isn’t this the "Lionheart Empire’s War History" borrowed from Duke William? I’d almost forgotten about this book! Da Fei exclaimed in shock: "So you all gained wisdom from the book?"
Catherine shook her head with a smile: "I checked the dictionary while reading the book, but I never quite understood it until today’s Independent Expedition suddenly made everything clear."
Anlicia laughed: "Indeed, we have to read the book and then go on Independent Expeditions to gain personal insight. This is the true value of this book!"
Selvia nodded: "That’s right, simply reading without independent combat makes it hard to gain insights, unless, like Miss Anlicia last time, you can point out historical inaccuracies. But such things are obviously more difficult, and independent combat is much simpler!"
Wow! No independence, no combat, no restraining myself! Da Fei anxiously said: "I’ve read books too, under my leadership, can’t you gain insights?"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise: "Captain (Lord City Lord), are you sure you’ve read this entire book set?"
Da Fei was momentarily speechless on the spot! Yes, not to mention reading the entire set, I don’t even have the patience to read one book completely! Finishing one set is like asking for my life!
