Chapter 97: Building Another Outpost

"This area!"

"A circular valley is the entrance to the Golden Sparrow Flower Clan's territory."

"The thick fog has sealed off this circular valley."

"We previously attempted to bypass this valley and sent reconnaissance mercenaries to find alternative paths."

"But we found that the other areas were all filled with layers of mountains."

"Once you enter, you lose your sense of direction."

"Helplessly, we had to abandon this plan and focus on opening up this mountain pass."

"At present, we send reconnaissance mercenaries here every day to explore."

"But progress is slow, and we dare not venture too deep because the fog inside is too terrifying."

"Not to mention the strength of the reconnaissance mercenaries, even I would get lost in this fog if I went too deep."

"Furthermore, half-beasts occasionally emerge from the fog to attack us."

"But their strength is not formidable, only at the Red Rank."

"I speculate that there should be a Red Rank half-beast camp in this circular valley."

Within the military territory of the valley.

Brenny pointed at the map, explaining the latest intelligence to Fang Yuan and the heroes.

Fang Yuan looked at the distance between the mountain pass Brenny mentioned and the valley's military station.

It was just at the maximum distance for losing one's sense of direction.

If they were to proceed further, the reconnaissance mercenaries sent out to search would lose contact.

It was no wonder Brenny couldn't make any further progress.

Therefore, if they wanted to continue exploring, they would need to build an outpost as a temporary base for reconnaissance cavalry to rest and replenish their supplies.

However, the fog in the Golden Sparrow Flower Clan's territory was exceptionally dense, and special items or structures were needed to dispel the fog.

These items were similar to illumination flares that could drive away the fog.

His own main city's faint magic tower could launch three of them.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far, exceeding the range of the faint magic tower's illumination flares.

In addition, the Magic Pattern diagrams for the illumination flares had some use, but it was limited.

The range of dispersal was limited, and it couldn't last long before the fog quickly enveloped the area again.

So they needed to use special structures.

And Fang Yuan had already prepared these structures.

Before that, he needed to build a temporary outpost at the mountain pass as a garrison point for the soldiers.

Fang Yuan's gaze wandered on the map for a moment.

Soon, he locked onto a small high ground outside the mountain pass.

It had terrain advantages and was suitable for construction.

After building the outpost, they would place a teleportation array there.

This would enable remote and rapid deployment of troops, and the exploration could officially begin.

After formulating the plan in his mind, Fang Yuan stood up and said, "Brenny, you've done well."

"The intelligence you provided is very useful."

"The next step is to continue advancing, and I need to participate."

Following that, Fang Yuan drew a red circle on the map.

"Here!"

"Build an outpost and place a teleportation array as the frontline command center for exploration."

"Brenny, you will lead the Valley Military Station's legion to occupy this place as the vanguard force for opening up the wilderness map."

Upon hearing the command, Brenny saluted and replied, "Yes, my lord."

"However, even with the outpost and teleportation array."

"My soldiers still need to spend time traveling back and forth."

"But the dense fog at the mountain pass can still block our path forward."

Fang Yuan nodded.

"That's my second step."

"I will gather some Magic Pattern diagrams and scrolls for illumination flares."

"These items can temporarily disperse the fog."

"During this time, you need to immediately advance forward and eliminate the half-beasts near the mountain pass."

"Push the front line to the mountain pass and find the half-beasts' camp there."

"Eliminate it!"

"Occupy it!"

"Afterward, I will build a structure here that can disperse the fog for a long time."

"This will be our first stop in exploring the Golden Sparrow Flower Clan's territory."

"After taking this place, we need to survey the surrounding terrain, open up the surrounding map, and find the next target for further exploration."

"And this task!"

Fang Yuan looked at Vanas, who remained silent.

"Explorer, you need to complete this task with Windrunner."

Vanas stood up and bowed slightly.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Fang Yuan continued.

"This is our current Rank One plan."

"For further exploration, we need more accurate information."

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Fang Yuan's gaze swept across the heroes present.

At this moment, Lilith spoke, "Lord, what about me?"

"What do you want me to do?"

Without hesitation, Fang Yuan said, "Stay at the Valley Garrison!"

"While protecting this place, if the mountain outpost camp is in danger, you must go support it."

"Guard the teleportation array at the outpost camp!"

"And if magical support is needed during the exploration."

"You need to send the Legion of Flame Mages to assist."

Lilith nodded slightly.

"I like this job."

"But, my Lord, since we have decided to explore further, why not ask the Earthbound Spirit in the Book of Curses if it has any information about the terrain?"

Lilith's words reminded Fang Yuan.

He had brought the Book of Curses with him.

Now would be a good time to start.

Might as well ask.

He immediately summoned the Earthbound Spirit from the book.

"Lord Marquis."

The Earthbound Spirit sensed the surging power of the heroes around him.

Fearful, he respectfully bowed to Fang Yuan.

Clearly, he was a little afraid.

Fang Yuan asked directly.

"Do you have any memories of the Golden Sparrow Flower Clan's territory?"

"We have found the entrance to their territory, which is a circular mountain pass."

"Once we pass through the circular mountain pass, will we enter the Golden Sparrow Flower Clan's territory?"

The Earthbound Spirit being questioned became confused.

He pondered for a long time before saying.

"It's been too long, I've forgotten many things."

"But I remember when we escaped, we came out through a secret passage."

"The secret passage led directly outside the city walls."

"Then we fled all the way, with half-orcs chasing us."

"Until we reached a section of the city wall, where we encountered stationed guards who helped us."

"Then we crossed the city wall and fled towards the military territory."

The Earthbound Spirit's words made Fang Yuan ponder.

"Secret passage!"

"City wall!"

"Could this mission be sending heroes to explore the secret passage?"

"That's too dangerous. If they encounter danger, it's too easy to die in the secret passage."

"We'll discuss this later."

"But the city wall!"

"Could it be after the circular mountain valley?"

"Think about it, it's possible. City walls are mainly for defense and are mainly located at the passes."

"We have discovered the circular mountain valley as the entrance, so there must be an exit."

"The exit might be the city wall where the Earthbound Spirit escaped from before."

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan quickly explained to the heroes.

Finally, he said.

"We have some clues for the Rank Two objective."

"Let's make finding the exit city wall our goal."

"Now I will build the outpost camp."

"Brenny, prepare your legion!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis."
