The Witcher: Elemental Lords
#669 - Albis Mountains
Aishe had no idea where Changfeng City was. She carefully recalled the map and realized it was the next city, so she nodded, "Alright, it's boring to fly in the sky every time we go out. It's good to walk on the ground too."
Taking a carriage was just a whim, and even the carriage itself was temporarily crafted, just to experience the local customs.
The Northwest region has many mountains and few plains. The journey is either through valleys or over mountain ridges. Everywhere is barren, and only near the cities can you see large plains.
To reduce the chance of being discovered, the two not only disguised themselves, but also avoided entering cities. Whenever they passed a city, they would put away the carriage and fly past it, so they didn't alarm anyone.
Soon, they passed through the mountainous area, passed the Northwest Fortress, and arrived at a desert region.
Passing through this desert would lead to the Albis Mountains.
There was nothing to see or do in the desert. After walking for a day, the two took to the skies again and flew towards the Albis Mountains.
The desert was vast, and to the north was the massive Northern Mountain Range, a natural barrier between the two countries. Besides some resilient creatures, there was nothing in the desert. Even oases were scarce, so few caravans crossed it, and they all took the fortress route.
After passing through the desert and arriving at the Northern Grasslands, half a month had passed. The weather had changed from hot to still hot at noon, but cool in the mornings and evenings.
There were several cities in the Northern Grasslands, and to the north of one of them was a large area of tall mountains.
This mountain range was not a single range, but multiple ranges, not connected to each other. Each mountain range was far from the others. Some mountain ranges were inhabited, while others were desolate, filled with wild beasts and magical beasts.
Dole and Aishe arrived here, observed for a while, and determined the geographical location of the Albis Mountains. It was too easy to guess. The southernmost part of these mountains was the massive Albis Mountains, located right on the border between the Northwest and the North, occupying a large area. Caravans had to bypass this mountain range, adding nearly a thousand kilometers to their journey. This distance may not seem far, but for a caravan, it meant an extra four or five days on the road, which was terrifying in the wilderness.
As long as this mountain range was taken, the fertile land within hundreds of kilometers would belong to Dole, as recorded in the documents.
There were several trade routes here, each far from the Albis Mountains. As long as the Albis Mountains could be taken, Dole would be opening a passage connecting the two continents, which would definitely bring in a flood of wealth.
This was the obvious benefit.
Dole spent three or four days observing the surroundings, and after confirming that the mountain range could be surrounded by the Storm Domain, he stopped in the wilderness outside and set up a small tent to hold a meeting.
Inside the small tent, Baal, Dole, and Aishe sat together.
Baal, in his human form, stroked his chin, with glistening liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth, "This mountain range is quite large. Saying there are three Level 7s is definitely an understatement. There may be one or two more hidden inside. Or, wait for me for a few days, and I'll go in and eat a few of them."
Dole's mouth twitched when he saw Baal's appearance. He calmly said, "Letting you go is a must. We can take this opportunity to gather intelligence. You go first, and Aishe and I will observe with the Dark Corpse Worms and Frost Sky Worms. Once we confirm the numbers, we'll directly attack."
Aishe felt a little unbelievable when she heard their conversation. Just the two of them and a dog were going to attack the Albis Mountains?
She paused for a moment and said, "Aren't we waiting for Wassenburg?"
Dole shook his head and said, "No need to wait for them. It will cause too much commotion. If the magical beasts inside all gather, it will be troublesome. We'll attack first and take them out one by one."
Mobilizing the army corps couldn't be done in a short time. Supplies, food, and routes had to be strictly planned. It would take at least two months to get from northwestern Wassenburg to the northeast, and by then it would be completely winter. Dole couldn't wait that long.
Baal was a magical beast. He could provoke them and kill one first, which would alarm the other magical beasts, and then the numbers would immediately come out.
The three of them planned briefly, and Baal couldn't wait to set off.
Walking out of the tent, he returned to his original form. A terrifying giant dog, more than five meters tall, stood beside him, much larger than the tent, majestic and awe-inspiring.
He turned his head, revealing a huge dog face, and said, "I'm going to cause trouble now. You two pay attention to observing the surroundings and try to scout the creatures inside this mountain range."
He turned his head and looked at the Albis Mountains in front of him.
The Albis Mountains were not high, with the highest peak only over three thousand meters, but the area was very vast, with towering peaks and winding valleys, a forest of mountains. At first glance, it was a bit gloomy and terrifying.
Above the mountainside, clouds and mist swirled, covering the entire mountain range, like a fairyland.
If it weren't for the various terrifying and frightening sounds coming from inside, this would definitely be a good place.
The Albis Mountains, located at the junction of the two continents, was also one of the most popular places for adventurers, so Dole had to be constantly aware of other adventurers and couldn't be discovered. If the news leaked and attracted the Sand Scorpion Adventurer Group, it would be bad.
At this time, Dole's clones had turned into tiny Dark Corpse Worms, mixed with Aishe's Frost Sky Worms, and flew to various parts of the mountain range.
At the same time, Dole put away the tent and, together with Aishe, turned into two streams of wind, intertwining as they headed towards the foot of the mountain.

…
Baal transformed into his true form, a giant dog more than five meters tall. Although this size was inconspicuous among high-level magical beasts, Baal had long understood the principle that bigger was not always better in the long years.
Five meters high and about ten meters long, this size was just right to maximize all his advantages: mobility, impact, bite, and the power of hell. Although he had advanced to Level 7 and comprehended the power of hell, his racial biological instincts were fully manifested, and he still preferred melee combat.
After leaving the tent, he unleashed his aura and quickly flew towards the Albis Mountains, rushing towards a narrow mountain ridge.
Hehehe, little darlings of the Albis Mountains, Grandpa Baal is here, quickly wash your necks and wait for me.
The departure of a Level 7 magical beast brought with it a surging aura. From the foot of the mountain all the way up, all low-level creatures trembled and dared not come out. Wherever he passed, the terrifying sounds completely disappeared, all movements stopped, as if the Demon King had descended.
He quickly disappeared on the edge of the mountain and headed into the mountains.
The further into the interior of the Albis Mountains, the steeper the peaks, the wider and longer the valleys under the peaks. The mountains of the entire mountain range were like sharp swords, piercing straight into the clouds.
This mountain was a rocky mountain, so the steep mountains had little vegetation.
As soon as Baal entered the interior, he immediately felt the unusual aura inside. Just as he reached a position close to the center of the mountain range, at least three auras locked onto him from a distance.
