From a logical point of view, it is reasonable for the School of Life, which has newly joined academic exchanges, to provide information on the prediction of the location of demonic disasters as a "handling fee."
Unfortunately, there were some problems in it, which prevented Wang Qi from taking action in advance.
He asked serious three-ring adventurers in the guild to identify the graffiti, and the conclusions were similar. However, the adventurers had special spells to answer the prophecies, and the answers were more detailed.
In addition to the geographical location, the graffiti also contained a message about the subsequent development of the situation, saying that the demonic disaster would spread westward across the mountains.
Wang Qi would not question the prediction level of Life Academy, after all, it was also related to the face of Life Church.
But as an outsider, he couldn't believe it 100%. If they choose to take the team to leave Odor City at this time, if the prophecy deviates in a certain direction, by the time they receive the news again, it may be too late.
And from the perspective of prediction itself, prediction of the concept of "future" cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
Of course, the other party’s good intentions cannot be completely ignored.
Still going through the Chamber of Commerce channel, Wang Qi hired two small teams of adventurers who didn't know each other... The larger ones couldn't afford to hire them.
The mission is as follows: Go to the area south of the Gobi Desert of Ladu Kingdom and close to the Western Mountains. Once you find out the news that the world gate is open, regardless of whether there is a demonic disaster or not, immediately use an urgent letter to send it to the person designated by Wang Qi at the rate of one letter per day. Letters were sent to the chambers of commerce in the five cities along the route, and later letters needed to contain new and relevant news added every day.
After completing the task, go to the designated chamber of commerce outside the southern border of Lado Kingdom to wait for the final payment to be settled.
The simplicity of the task also means that the cost is not high. Both adventurer teams only have one or two third-level professionals. For the rest, including the agency and follow-up fees of the chamber of commerce, each team must first pay six small coins. Gold bars, each team will need to replenish four gold bars afterwards.
The money is not all given to the adventurers at once, because the merchants who have received the intermediary fee are obliged to ensure that the mission can be completed, especially this kind of mission that can be completed by just picking up a team.
However, Wang Qi does not need to take care of these subsequent financial issues. He can just wait for news about the money.
In the period that follows, Odor fully embodies how messages are transmitted and transformed.
The source is most likely the graffiti that Wang Qi gave to the adventurers for appraisal. A few days after this incident, some students came to report that they heard outside that "there is news that a demonic disaster is about to occur in the Kingdom of Ladu." This news is not free. , and paid dozens of local banknotes... They now mainly use banknotes from Omar, the Kingdom of God.
Ten days later, the news I heard changed to "A demonic disaster has occurred in Ladu."
If Wang Qi hadn't remembered the time, he might have believed it.
By the time the World Gate actually opened, the news had already spread to the form of "I heard that it has reached the gate of the Holy City of the Church of Nature." Of course, this kind of shabby information does not cost money.
Without a little bit of determination, it is really possible to be led astray by these strange news.
The news from the Chamber of Commerce line is not entirely reliable either.
Wang Qi participated in multiple "Joint Information Delivery Commissions" in many places. The message of one of the commissions was delivered and settled before the door opened. The direction of the demonic disaster displayed was southeast of the entire main land. Although the source of the message was not the direction of thunder. , but there is a high probability that it is a secondary disaster caused by the last round of demonic disasters.
Generally speaking, this kind of false news will be clarified by the Chamber of Commerce later, and remedies such as refunds or information updates may be provided, but these are all for locals. Unless Wang Qi, an out-of-towner, comes back with a contract, Otherwise, the money will be wasted.
After much searching, the last piece of information that was reliable enough came from the two adventurer teams I hired later.
The Chamber of Commerce express mail system is faster than the "joint message delivery" because there is no need to consider verification and other issues, and it can be calculated directly according to the maximum letter delivery speed, which can deliver an average of 300 kilometers or more a day.
The first letters from the two adventurer teams arrived on the eighth and ninth days respectively. There was a slight delay, which may be related to the lack of information in the affected areas.
Wang Qi did not wait until the ninth day, and now he was racing against time.
I received the first letter on the eighth day. The overlap between the region and the graffiti predictions dispelled a lot of doubts, and I set off directly that day.
Follow-up messages also cost money and cannot be wasted. According to the planned movement speed of my team, I applied for an "expedited letter batch forwarding" service at the local chamber of commerce. Subsequent letters signed by him will be sent on time as required. Classified and delivered to the cities specified above.
Therefore, Wang Qi got the letter from the adventurer team on the ninth day in another city on the tenth day.
As for the information previously jointly entrusted, the time it takes to reach Odor is concentrated on the thirteenth to fifteenth day.
This efficiency is slower than what Leiming Guarantor boasted before, but it is still acceptable, but it is no longer needed.
In order to reach the target area as quickly as possible and leave more time for planning and combat contingency, the team rented twenty horses to maintain mobility. At the same time, in order to reduce the situation of bad-sighted bandits looking for trouble and wasting time, the Eight King Kongs will run underground in some sections, while reducing the load on the carriage.
Even so, the cavalry's maneuvering speed was actually not very fast, mainly because the horses' physical strength could not bear it, even if half of it was empty. There is no specific measurement, but the average daily moving distance is probably between 70 and 80 kilometers. In some areas with better road conditions and easier access to horse supplies, it can be an additional 10 to 15 kilometers.
】
It took eighteen days to reach the territory of Ladu Kingdom.
To the southeast of Lado is the Unicorn Forest, the holy city of the Church of Nature.
But don’t count on it, because the two are not next to each other. The Unicorn Forest is a country within a country, surrounded by the country next door. Speaking of the holy cities of the three major churches, only the Fountain of Youth has its own territory, and the other City of the Sun is also surrounded by Saint Anthony.
When Wang Qi and his party entered the country, the demonic disaster had only been activated for a few days.
According to the information already available, the mid-level demon clan's integrated air-ground army can move 120 to 180 kilometers per day, and the low-level demon clan uses temporary transmission channels to transport them. This time, the opening on the exile site is more than 1,400 kilometers away from the demon world gate in the northern area.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the demons were delayed by their own or other armies.
Especially since Wang Qi is still in the main world, if his army has not rebelled, there is a high probability that he will take the initiative to delay the attack.
After entering the southern border of Laton, the team slowed down slightly and went to various places to collect information. It took a few days to move closer to nearly 300 kilometers, and was only about 200 kilometers away from the opening point.
At this distance, the city is already a bit chaotic. As soon as you enter the city, there are horse-drawn carriages, manpower carts, ox carts, etc. that are being packed and ready to run away. You can also hear the crying of children anytime and anywhere.
From the perspective of the main world, the demons' tactical choices are very reasonable.
Without launching a war at a fixed point, it is easy to cause huge panic around the war area. As the time for them to rush through the world gate increases, more and more people run away in advance and materials are transported away, and the more they hit behind While the spread of battle lines reduces combat efficiency, the profit margin is also reduced. It is better to loot and leave quickly.
If you really calculate it, the main combat period for the intermediate and high-level demons is probably from the fifteenth to the sixty-fifth day after the opening.
Wang Qi knew the situation in the exile area. In fact, in about sixty days, mid-to-high-level demons would withdraw in batches. Before that, there might be smaller teams that were more difficult to continuously monitor by air power.
"My plan is to pass through the World Gate between the 40th and 50th days and avoid the middle and high-level demon clan troops. From now on, we still have ten days to find out information and bypass the demon clan's main force. Direction." At this point, Wang Qi stopped being careless and told everyone his evacuation plan.
The direction they came from is not the main attack direction of the demons. Judging from the latest distribution and time points of the destroyed cities, the demons are mainly pressing towards the east.
However, the main direction of attack will not remain unchanged. The east side of Thunder Kingdom has been destroyed long ago and there is no way. Ladu has not bordered the disaster area or been affected by the disaster before. The demons have limited time to move. It is not advisable to keep charging in the same direction. Instead, they will keep Within a certain radius, loot as many cities as possible within a limited time.
Therefore, it will take a few days to confirm the movements of the main demonic force, and then choose a safer route to break in.
