Chapter 412

"Someone brought him away . Look at the traces, he was brought in that direction . "

At the Yabba Craftsmen Treasury entrance, Link inspected the ground and saw traces of blood as well as faint footprints . He traced it along for about 150 feet before it suddenly disappeared .

"It's that Agatha Naga that escaped . She's crafty!" Link said to the rest of the Yabbas following him .

Elin could not wrap her mind around it . "Don't tell me he is planning to revive Akensser? But even his brain is smashed . Is his corpse going to be of any use?"

She knew that the enemy was backed by a G.o.d who could probably revive the dead . But even then, wouldn't Akensser just be revived as a headless zombie?

Link had no way to accurately determine the actions of the G.o.d of Destruction . He thought for a moment before saying, "It doesn't matter what methods he uses, he has one objective: He wants to bring more Nagas into Firuman, and Lariel City is an excellent place for him to start his invasion as it contains many resources . Therefore, we must move out these resources . "

Before they were killed, the Nagas were preparing to move the Black Kun Rock to the center of the magic net . This showed that Akesser was able to manipulate the magic net in order to open up a dimensional portal .

Some of the other Yabbas might not be able to comprehend the depth of the danger they were facing but Elin could . In this short night, she had come into contact twice with the G.o.d hidden in the void… Anyway, no matter the case, they couldn't stay in Lariel City anymore . Even if they managed to repair the airs.h.i.+ps and the magic net, they still couldn't stay here .

She turned to Link and said, "After the magic net was destroyed, the Mana density here has been increasing, making this place unsuitable for living . Lord, let us quickly head south . "

Franklin looked around forlornly . After a long moment of silence, he nodded . "Elin, you were right, we should have listened to your advice . We're going to head south now," he said .

He turned to Link . "Lord, you have fulfilled your promise, so we Yabbas will keep our side of the bargain and move over to your territory . I heard from Elin that there is an island off the coast of Ferde…"

Link smiled and replied, "Elin is very familiar with this, you can check the details with her . "

Elin nodded and took out a book filled with her notes and handed it to Lord Franklin . These notes were created during the time she spent with Link in the Dragon Valley .

Franklin looked through it carefully before nodding his head . "I've no issue with this, let's go!"

The Yabba craftsmen were gathered beside him . Franklin turned to them and instructed, "We will get rid of everything here . Those that can be brought with us, bring them, those that can't, destroy them . Once we reach south, we will rebuild what we have . The Lord has promised us a territory on an island where we can live and manage ourselves . "

That being the case, the craftsmen had no other disagreement . They began to discuss the details on the clearing out operation .

These details were naturally something that Link was not familiar with and did not need to bother with either . It was better for him to stay out of it and do something else . Since he was bored, he decided to inspect the Yabba's Saint statue .

The statue was made of a material that could be used to make a permanent magic portal . They obviously could not leave it here for the enemy . The Yabbas were prepared to dismantle the statue and bring it with them to the south .

In fact, the Yabbas were even prepared to destroy the mine where the materials for this statue had come from .

Watching them struggle with the work, Link decided to help them .

He figured that he could use some spells to speed up the process . Thinking about it for a moment, he decided to use the Demon Slaying whip . After instructing the Yabbas to keep their distance, he unleashed the Demon Slaying whip . A thin gold and red strand of silk appeared which began to wrap itself around the statue, turning it into molten rock .

"Break!"

The crystal red silk suddenly tightened up, and the statue was sliced into sheets not more than half an inch thick . Once the sheets crashed to the floor, they shattered into tiny pieces that weighed not more than 22 pounds each .

"Alright, let's move it," Link said to the stunned Yabbas .

Not long later, all the Yabbas were helping out with the moving effort . Even Link and Riel were helping out . The Yabba craftsmen were in the process of repairing the flying airs.h.i.+ps, and the worked without rest . Even when Link and Riel had stopped to rest, they were still continuing with their work .

This lasted for three days . After three days, the Yabba craftsmen actually managed to completely repair a full medium-sized battle airs.h.i.+p, as well as over 20 small airs.h.i.+ps . This allowed the Yabbas to regain a significant amount of their fighting strength .

At the same time, the 200,000 Yabbas inside Lariel City were like a swarm of ants, clearing out the entire city and turning it into a ghost town .

Everything that had value or could be used were taken away .

After another two days, besides the Yabba craftsmen who were still hard at work repairing the planes, the rest of the Yabbas had started their journey on the road south .

From a piece of high ground outside of Lariel City, Link, Riel, and the Yabba commanders were watching the migrating Yabbas .

Link said to Franklin, "The situation in the south is not that good either . Necromancer Andrew is attacking Girvent forest . Most likely, Hot Spring City will also have fallen . As you guys move south, don't go too quickly . We will first liberate Orida Fortress from its siege . Once we do that, the alliance army will head over to your a.s.sistance . I estimate it will take ten days . "

"Understood," Franklin nodded .

Of course, the south was also not at peace, but no matter what, it was better than the situation in the Hengduan Mountain Range . Most importantly, in the south, there was Link, a Legendary level expert standing guard . This gave everyone a greater sense of security .

Originally, Riel was planning to return with them to Orida Fortress to get his vengeance on the demons . However, due to the Yabbas relentless pleading as well as a couple of beautiful Yabba girls who had come to entertain him, he gave in and agreed to escort them south . Riel could not resist the bright and beautiful Yabba eyes with the pleading look in them .

As for the situation at Orida Fortress, Riel knew that Link could handle it on his own . At this time, a small airs.h.i.+p flew towards them . Lannie was piloting it, and as she neared them, she curved in a slight arc, bringing the craft to a gentle stop .

The airs.h.i.+p cover opened up and Lannie's baby-like face beamed . "Lord, this craft has been modified to fit two people . Let me take you to Orida Fortress first," Lannie said .

Link took a look and saw that as Lannie had said, there was now a s.p.a.ce with a nice comfortable chair . Link had no reason to refuse . Turning to Franklin, he said, "Then, I'll make a move first . "

"Be careful," Franklin said .

"Lord, come back quickly," Elin couldn't help but say as well .

"Link, help me thrash those dogs of demons," Riel shouted . He waved his warhammer ferociously . Evidently, Riel was still itching for a fight .

"Don't worry, I will," Link replied .

Link laughed and climbed into the airs.h.i.+p . Zip . The cover of the airs.h.i.+p closed and Lannie shouted, "Okay, taking off!"

Link suddenly felt his body getting heavier before they shot off into the sky . Only after they reached a height of 9000 feet did the airs.h.i.+p stop ascending and turn towards Orida Fortress .

The airs.h.i.+p was pretty fast, traveling at about 900 feet per second . Furthermore, it was traveling in a straight line directly to Orida Fortress . It was the perfect mode of transport for rus.h.i.+ng about .

Lannie adjusted the spell formations controlling the airs.h.i.+p and laughed . "In three and a half hours, we will be at Orida Fortress . "

"Marvelous," Link praised . The interior of the airs.h.i.+p was actually pretty s.p.a.cious . He could lie back comfortably in the seat and relax . Lannie was focused on piloting the plane, and Link was bored, so he took out a textbook and begin studying .

He was looking at a book t.i.tled Essence of the Flame . Previously, there were many areas in which he did not understand . Now that his power had attained the Legendary level, some things which he did not understand before now began to make sense .

Once one possessed enough strength, some things would come naturally to you .

He got more engrossed the more he studied the book, deepening his understanding of the essence and the laws of fire . As he read, he took notes . Every now and then, he would get a flash of inspiration and would draft out designs for new spell structures .

Time flew by quickly .

As he was getting very engrossed in his work, Lannie's voice suddenly reminded him of the present situation . "Lord, we're reaching Orida Fortress in a bit . "

"Oh, that's fast!" Link reacted . He stretched out his head to take a look and realized that the yellow barrier around Orida Fortress was still intact . That told him that the fortress had not been breached . He exhaled in relief, before looking towards the demon army around the fortress .

After looking for a moment, Link frowned .

Six thousand miles away from Orida Fortress, Lannie could just barely make out the fortress but could not see the actual situation on the ground . "What's wrong?" She asked .

"It looks like the number of demons has decreased by a lot . "

At a glance, it was clear that the number of demons had gone down by about half . Where could they be? Did they go back to the Black Forest? Or did they proceed south?

Link considered many possibilities .

There would certainly be no issue if they went back to the Black Forest . However, if they had proceeded south, there would be trouble . The path towards the south was obviously defended . However, most of the troops garrisoned there were called towards Orida Fortress, leaving the defenses weak . The demons would be able to break through easily .

As he thought of this, Link saw about six demons running out of Orida Fortress and heading back towards the Black Forest .

These demons weren't moving in any coordinated manner . It was obvious that they were running separately and without any semblance of order . It was almost as if they were deserting the army . Looking at this, Link exhaled in relief . "It seems they're in chaos because of the loss of their commander . "

Saroviny was trapped in Aragu . That was a good thing .

Thinking about this, Link said, "Let's descend here . There are about 20,000 demons outside Orida Fortress . We mustn't let a single one escape . "

"Lord, that is 20,000 . Are you sure? Lannie was shocked . She had a.s.sumed that Link would head directly into Orida Fortress and lead the Warriors from inside out to do battle with the demons .

She had never even considered the possibility that Link would… decide to do battle all by himself . It was incomprehensible .

"Don't worry about me . Just descend here and stay hidden . I'm going to begin my sneak attack," Link said . He drew out the Dragon King's Wrath sword .
