As a legendary lich who has lived for thousands of years, Morey has mastered so many abilities that even he may not be able to count them all.

Originally, Otto also considered swallowing Morey directly, but this involves certain risks.

Regardless of how much benefit Morey and Sophia's magic research has brought to the Land of Dragons, Otto is worried that directly devouring Morey will not provide him with much help.

Because fundamentally speaking, this guy is only one-tenth or less of a legendary lich.

Although the memory is the same, the strength is completely different from the real Morey.

Who knows if after swallowing him, he will only be able to provide some crappy low-level spells.

That's why Otto asked him to train some kobold magic apprentices and proved it through experiments.

By letting others learn the relevant knowledge in Morey's memory, and then swallow this good-hearted person who is willing to sacrifice himself.

After completing this process, Otto will be able to master some practical abilities he needs.

To do this, he needs a lot of smart guys to serve as Morey's apprentices.

The monsters in Nolan Forest alone are obviously not enough. Even the goblins and lizardmen with the best brains are not as good as a slightly smart dwarf or halfling.

Perhaps as the demand increases, some higher quality magicians will be needed.

But before that, he needs to solve the problem of Thunder Legion first.

With them standing in front of us, there is no way to successfully bring in a large number of outstanding slaves from the Black Gold City.

It seems that we need to speed up the progress...

On the second day, at Otto's request, Longteng Army Map began to speed up its advance.

As before, there were almost no obstacles on the road, not even a sentry post was found.

This is obviously abnormal.

Maybe this is the calm before the storm, the war seems not far away!

Soon, the Soaring Dragon Legion discovered their opponent, and at the same time, things became troublesome.

After receiving the news, Otto personally flew into the air to observe the situation of the Thunder Legion, and found that they seemed to have gathered all their forces here.

It seems that as the top leader of the Thunder Legion, Kelu's idea is very simple.

Since there is no advantage in numbers, finding suitable terrain for defense is the clear choice compared to head-on confrontation.

They even dug some shallow trenches and used the excavated soil to build low walls against the trenches.

The trenches and walls are both works of haste, but when stacked together, the height of the two together is considerable.

And more importantly, these bastards actually built something that looks crude but is very practical.

For example, there are more than a dozen arrow towers, or some simple trebuchets.

Only monster races like tauren and ogres, which are ridiculously big and strong, can build so many things in a short period of time.

What worried Otto even more was that these bastards had brought several large and well-made ballistae from nowhere.

These terrifying heavy weapons were hidden at the very back. If Otto hadn't been flying in the air, it might have been really hard to find them.

His eyesight was very good, and he soon discovered some humanoid creatures next to the ballistas.

These guys are very thin and short, and they look out of place compared to the various big monsters around them.

If you look closely, it seems to be a dwarf or other humanoid creature.

So, does the Thunder Legion still have allies?

If this is really the case, it is not good news...

Just as Otto was thinking this, a ballista aimed at him flying in the air.

"Boom!"

Even flying high in the sky, Otto could hear the sound of the bowstring vibrating when the ballista launched its attack, which showed how powerful this thing was.

Before he could think about it, a huge arrow with a metal arrowhead had already flown to his chest.

However, it is still not possible to get rid of him based on this alone.

Otto quickly fanned the dragon wings, and his body quickly shifted to the side.

"call!"

Accompanied by a violent sound of breaking through the air, the thick arrow rubbed the air next to Otto and flew into the high sky, then disappeared.

The force is very strong. If he is shot, even if Otto's scale armor has amazing defense, he will probably not be easy.

This is not a technique that ordinary monster clans can master, but fortunately it seems that it cannot attack continuously, and the speed of reloading arrows is also very average.

Just as Otto was thinking this, the other dozen or so ballistae had also raised their angles and aimed at him.

A two-headed ogre in a gray robe was staring at Otto angrily next to the ballista. It was he who gave the order for the ballista to attack.

Otto obviously also noticed the strange movement of these ballistae. In order to avoid capsizing in the ditch, Otto immediately accelerated the U-turn and flew back to the airspace of the Soaring Dragon Legion.

Then, Otto immediately called Gaz and Link, two guys who had been in the Thunder Legion for a while.

There are Shashalu and Sophia beside them. Morey is preparing a magic puppet for Otto, so he won't show up for a while.

After listening to Otto's description of those ballistae, Link frowned and said, "It sounds like a torque ballista."

"Torsion ballista?"

Just when Otto was confused, Link said again: "This is actually a technology derived from the Empire. There are also merchants in Black Gold City selling this kind of war weapon."

"empire?"

Otto glanced at Shashalu beside him. The old lizard man was also confused.

This may be a bit difficult for him, after all, Shashalu has never left the Nolan Forest in his life.

Gaz next to him quickly explained: "The empire he is talking about refers to the Philcord Empire, which is very far away from us and is a powerful country composed of pure humans.

However, a hundred years ago, due to the civil war between the two crown princes, the Castile Empire split from it.

In Black Gold City, we generally call them the West Empire and the East Empire. There are torque ballistas for sale in Black Gold City, but almost all of them are handled by merchants from the Kingdom of Flanders.

Now almost all human countries know how to make this kind of weapon, so only the backward tribes in Dragonblight can sell it at a good price.

Moreover, if a ballista is purchased, they will also give away some slaves who know how to maintain and use it daily."

After hearing this, Otto finally understood.

"So, these ballistae were probably purchased by the Thunder Legion from Black Gold City?"

Gaz nodded and confirmed: "I think so, Your Majesty!"

If it's really what Gaz said, then the situation isn't that bad.

Although this kind of ballistae is powerful and accurate, its reloading speed is very slow and its quantity is small.

It's just that he is hidden at the core of the Thunder Legion, and it is not easy to destroy these weapons of war.

More importantly, the flying monsters of the Soaring Dragon Legion did not have an advantage when facing those large numbers of blue-headed chimeras.

Therefore, if the battlefield lethality of these ballistae is indeed amazing...

"Maybe I need to take action myself!"
