This skill is the first time Zhang Xiaoman has heard of the Food Creation Technique. However, it is a basic ability that many low-level mages on the continent of Erin can use.
According to the way mages in this world practice spells, food making is a relatively rare and auxiliary skill.
When many mercenary groups go out on missions, mages will use food creation techniques to provide basic food and clothing.
Correspondingly, there is the water-making technique, which is similar to Zhang Xiaoman's material conversion skill. It is an ability that consumes mana to create magical pure water.
However, although these two abilities are relatively popular among mages, they do not have any higher-level forms, and the things they create are fixed. In addition to the magical pure water of water creation, food creation can create There was only one kind of dry, hard brown bread.
Zhang Xiaoman actually thinks these two skills are quite interesting. At least if you master this ability to directly convert energy, you can use it in other places in the future.
So after he learned about the food-making and water-making techniques, he asked for the method of using the skills from McCarvey, and decided to try it again when he had a chance to see if he could convert it into a dark energy formula. .
Flying out of the temple with McAvey, the two came to the north city gate together, looking at the orc army in the distance.
Zhang Xiaoman saw the orc corpses on the ground that had not yet had time to restrain themselves. From the appearance of these corpses, he could already imagine the brutality of the battle just now.
In fact, he just learned about what happened here. Zhang Xiaoman was not in Kuhan City before, but used the Star Alliance beacon to teleport back to Talata King City and met his alchemy assistant Yifei.
Yifei was surprised why Master Ji Xing suddenly appeared here. Didn't he go to the war front in the north? Why did he suddenly come back?
But she was very smart. Zhang Xiaoman didn't explain, so she didn't ask any questions. She just reported to him the progress of collecting items in the past two days.
"Your Excellency Ji Xing, we have collected almost all the materials, and now only the last bottle of dragon blood is left. I am afraid that it will not be available for the time being..."
Yifei was naturally referring to the sky-high price list that Zhang Xiaoman left for Romel before leaving. The materials in it were almost all priceless treasures, and the quantities required were also very huge.
However, even such a seemingly impossible task was accomplished in just a few days after the Adren royal family mobilized national power, in which the mercenary union also put in considerable efforts.
However, they really had nothing to do with the last remaining bottle of dragon blood. It wasn't that the Adren royal family couldn't afford it, but that there was simply no dragon blood for sale on the market.
Dragon Island had been closed decades ago, and people on the Irene continent had not seen a real dragon for a long, long time, let alone obtained their dragon blood.
Zhang Xiaoman was very satisfied with this progress. Being able to gather the materials he wanted in such a short period of time exceeded his expectations.
As for dragon blood, he didn't have much hope.
Anyway, he had already made a plan. When that golden holy dragon king came over, he would just take some from the opponent's body.
Speaking of which, the ninth-level dragon blood should be more effective than the eighth-level one.
Finally, Zhang Xiaoman told Yifei to immediately start brewing the alchemy potion, and then restarted the infinite teleportation and returned to the northern frontline.
However, in less than two hours of his coming and going, the first battle between the alliance and the orcs in Kuhan City had already begun and ended.
On the city tower, the evening wind howled, and sparks in the camp in the distance were dotted like stars dotting the night sky.
Oh, by the way, there are no stars in this world.
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but look up at the sky. There was only a bright moon hanging in the sky, but not a single star.
The night sky was deathly silent, as if what was above our heads was not the starry sky that nurtured countless lives and civilizations, but a lifeless dead zone.
At this time, the atmosphere of silence was broken, and McCarvey suddenly sighed and said:
"The orcs have changed so much. They are completely different from what I saw decades ago..."
"They are no longer as reckless as before, they have learned to think and tactics..."
"The commander of the orcs is a very smart guy. He wants to use wheel warfare to wear us down and force us holy orders to take action..."
McCarvey looked at the orc camp in the distance with deep eyes.
"Perhaps, I was wrong from the beginning... Urbis did not betray us because he lost his mind... He may have gotten something we don't know... Maybe he wants to know the truth about Advent. Knows more than I do…”
As he spoke, his eyes turned to Zhang Xiaoman beside him and continued:
"Jiuxing, I have a plan. We can no longer sit back and wait. The number of these orcs is more than we imagined. We can't afford it. We must take the initiative..."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him.
"Are you saying that you want to take action personally to destroy those armies?"
McCarvey nodded and said:
"That's right, it's not just me, all of us need to take action. We must force those orcs back to the North Wind Grassland first, move the battlefield to the entrance of the North Wind Grassland, and then use the sky fire of the God's Advent Festival to Destroy those guys!"
"Use the sky fire to destroy them..."
Zhang Xiaoman paused and immediately understood what the other party meant.
According to what McCarvey said before, these holy orders are the priority targets of the gods for harvesting, so on the day of the Advent Festival, the sky fire will definitely target them and launch an attack.
In other words, as long as it waits until the day when the God's Advent Festival comes, and all of them run into the orc army, the sky fire will naturally fall towards this place.
At that time, there will be no need for them to waste energy to eliminate the orcs. All the orcs will die under the fire from the sky.
To put it bluntly, this move is similar to going to someone else's house to overcome a tribulation, driving a tiger to devour a wolf, and using your strength to fight.
Therefore, McCarvey said that the orcs must be forced back to the North Wind Grassland in advance. Otherwise, if they are too close to their side, it will be difficult to ensure that the sky fire will not fall into Kuhan City.
So now the question is, what should we do to successfully push the orcs back to the entrance of the North Wind Grassland.
According to McCarvey's plan, the five saints will attack with all their strength once, which can consume the effective strength of the orcs on a large scale, and at least be able to repel the orc army in the front area with the forbidden spell. By then, the alliance will If the army on the side advances again, the combination of the two should be able to successfully drive the orcs back to the Beifeng Grassland.
However, as I said before, professionals in this world are very slow to recover energy. If a few saints take action in advance, they will not be able to maintain full status on the day of the Advent Festival.
Originally, they didn't have much confidence in the tenth-level true god. If something like this happened in Lai, the outcome of the battle would be even less optimistic.
But there is no other way. They choose the lesser of the two evils. Now they can only move dangerously and use this tactic to solve the immediate crisis.
Unless these saints risk everything and no longer care about the life and death of their own people and only care about retaining their own strength, then they can just sit back and watch.
But obviously, these people can't do it. After all, while they are ninth-level saints, they are also leaders of their respective races.
Being able to give up an entire ethnic group for their own interests is something I believe many people will be able to do, but those here are not included.
Next, McCarvey explained the relevant plan to Zhang Xiaoman in detail. During his absence, other people had already learned about the relevant plan, and he was the last one to know.
After listening patiently to McAvey's words, the expression on Zhang Xiaoman's face couldn't help but become more and more weird.
"Lecentra, I know what you mean, but now...do you want us to join forces to force those orcs back to the Borean Grassland...the five of us...?"
Zhang Xiaoman said as he glanced at the direction of the orc army in the distance. From his perspective, it could be described as an endless existence.
Although the current Orc army has not yet been fully assembled, this part alone has reached about one million. Compared with the alliance's army, which is only two to three hundred thousand, it can be said that there is a huge difference.
"Yes...Polestar, I know this request may be a bit excessive...but we can't wait any longer...The beasts are constantly consuming our power, and I also really want to wait for the arrival of Elcurus and Sirna. But the two of them are far away from here, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come here until at least three days..."
McAvoy said with some embarrassment.
In his opinion, Zhang Xiaoman may have felt that it was a bit too little to deal with so many orcs on his side, with only five saints. Although they only needed to eliminate the vanguard part and force the back part back to the Beifeng Grassland, Instead of completely wiping out these one million orcs.
But even just like this, the difficulty of this mission is quite high.
Although the Holy Order is the pinnacle of power in this world, it is definitely not invincible.
They may be able to easily crush the eighth-level existence in a duel, or they may be able to destroy the opposing team in a team battle.
You can even dominate the situation in a small battle and win the battle for yourself.
But it is absolutely impossible for them to destroy the entire enemy army by themselves in a war of this scale.
Three thousand people, four thousand people, five thousand people, or even tens of thousands of people, that may already be the limit.
Even a great mage like McCarvey can only cast a large-scale forbidden spell with an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people. After that, he himself will be trapped in the sky for a long time. state.
But now there are more than a million orcs. This is no longer something that a few people can deal with. This can only be a war between countries.
McAvey knew that he should wait for a while, at least until the remaining two members of the Bound Breakers Association arrived before taking action together. This way, he would be more certain of success.
But unfortunately, time did not allow it. He had just learned from the scout's report that the orcs seemed to be making moves again. If nothing unexpected happened, there might be another raid tonight.
"Pole Star, we must work together to get through this difficulty... This attack may consume some of our energy, and some strong men hidden in the orcs may also be waiting for an opportunity to take action... After all, letting us consume our strength is itself Their purpose..."
"But there are advantages to doing this. As long as we take action as soon as possible, then by the time the Advent Festival comes, with the speed of our meditation, we should be able to recover more than half of it... Moreover, with the five saints of us taking action together, those Xiaoxiao should also be able to recover I don’t have the guts to come and attack..."
Out of politeness, Zhang Xiaoman listened to McAvey analyze the pros and cons of the whole thing. When he heard the other party's last sentence, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, good guy, you are using the early use and early CD playstyle. It's so vivid.
He waited until the other party finished speaking, then pointed to the orc army in the distance and said:
"Lecentra, if I can push those orcs back, but I need your secret about immortality, can you agree to it?"
When McAvey suddenly heard such a sentence, he was stunned on the spot, and he was still a little unresponsive.
"Ji Xing, you mean...you alone...forced back the army of millions of orcs...?"
"That's right, I'm alone."
Zhang Xiaoman answered decisively and confidently.
McCarvey stared at him blankly for a while, and the expression on his face became quite exciting.
He didn't realize it until now. It turned out that the other party had started asking five people something. He actually thought that these people were too many, not too few.
"This matter is very serious, Ji Xing, are you kidding me?"
McAvey suddenly asked with a serious face.
Zhang Xiaoman still nodded calmly.
"I know what I'm going to say again."
He paused and continued:
"But I also said that this is not without conditions,"
war.
McAvey knew that he should wait for a while, at least until the remaining two members of the Bound Breakers Association arrived before taking action together. This way, he would be more certain of success.
But unfortunately, time did not allow it. He had just learned through the scout's report that the orcs seemed to be making moves again. If nothing unexpected happened, there might be another raid tonight.
"Pole Star, we must work together to overcome this difficulty... This attack may consume part of our energy, and some strong men hidden in the orcs may also be waiting for an opportunity to take action... After all, letting us consume our strength is itself Their purpose..."
“But there are advantages to doing this. As long as we start as early as possible, then when the day of Advent comes, we can meditate as fast as we can.
