Chapter 157 Conspiracy
Lu Ping was stunned for a few seconds, recalling what Alice said just now, she just refused to send troops first, it was not that she refused to send troops, so what if Erasia made the first move?

"His Royal Highness Alice, the Griffin Empire will definitely attack us, and it will be too late for you to send troops by then, so I ask your army to come over early, preferably in an ambush in the Fortress of Levin, and give them one as soon as they come in." Head-on attack. They are defenseless, and if they encounter your army suddenly, they will definitely retreat. At this time, they will not be able to stop them if they take advantage of the victory and pursue them."

Alice still shook her head: "Elasia's spies are here, not to mention ambushing in Fort Leven, as soon as our army is dispatched, they will know that this will not work. You can rest assured that we will always pay attention to their actions. Once They started to attack Leven Fortress, and our army will enter from here, before their army arrives here, we will arrive first, and they will not threaten you."

It's not that Lu Ping doesn't understand this, but he doesn't want the battlefield to be in Harmondale. During the war, residents fled, houses were burned, people were killed and injured due to shutdown, etc. What a loss!If the city wall has collapsed, it will take a lot of money, resources, manpower, territorial honor, etc. to rebuild it. Therefore, if you want to fight, you have to fight outside the country. He has said before that you must resist the enemy at the door In addition, this is the best policy, and defending the city is the worst policy.

"Is there really no way to come in quietly?" Lu Ping asked unwillingly. In fact, he also knew that it was impossible, not to mention NPC spies. There are so many players in Harmondale, so it is impossible to keep it secret.

Alice was obviously moved by Lu Ping's proposal, because it had always been their goal to attack Erasia through Harmondale, and now they were given a chance, how could they refuse?After pondering for a while, Alice said: "There is one way. We can build a temporary portal to send the army directly, but it will consume a lot of precious materials, and we must use many craftsmen to work for several days at the destination. They Your spies will still find out. Unless you can find a very secret place where you can guarantee that no one will know, otherwise it will be in vain."

Lu Ping couldn't help but be enlightened. It turns out that elves can build portals. It is still possible to find a secret location, so there is still hope.

"This matter is on my shoulders. I am going to set off immediately to find the ideal location, but how should I inform you? Who will make the portal?"

Alice said: "After you find a suitable place, someone will contact you and give you the blueprint for making it. The basic structure of the temporary portal is not particularly complicated. As long as there are blueprints, ordinary craftsmen can make it. The most important thing is to open it at the end." Its magical properties... this matter is too important, I must go back and report to the king in person before he can make the final decision."

Lu Ping was secretly delighted. He didn't believe that the Elf King could resist such a temptation. It was likely to happen. The key now is to find a secret place to build a portal.There will be two results after the elves enter Erasia. The first possibility is that the two countries are evenly matched, and both sides will suffer. Then Harmondale can continue to seek neutrality, and no one will buy it. The second possibility is that the elves win a big victory. Occupying a large area of ​​Erasia's territory, then the Elf King will no longer be so fancy about this small piece of Harmondale. chance.

Lu Ping asked with some concern: "How many days does it take to make a portal?"

"If there are [-] excellent craftsmen, it can be built in three days. If there are not enough people or poor skills, it will take longer. So I will leave soon, and you have to find a place to build the portal as soon as possible."

Of course, Lu Ping knew that the time limit given by Talis was only a little over eight days. It would take one day to go to Liwen Fortress here, find a location, arrange craftsmen, etc., and the time was very tight.

Lu Ping said: "People from the Griffin Empire are still in the hotel, they must know that you are here, if you leave in such a hurry, they will become suspicious, so we have to put on a show for them to see..."

The two were plotting, and the butler hurried in through the door: "My lord, the two hundred dwarf artisans sent by Baides to help us have finally arrived. It's only half a day away from the city. How can I arrange them?"

Lu Ping was stunned for a moment: "They said they would leave immediately, why did they take so long to arrive?" Very early on, Lu Ping went to Baides to ask Prince Hesfer for help, and Prince Hesfer promised to send someone over immediately , did not expect to arrive now.

The steward said helplessly: "The dwarves have short feet and are always slow in doing things. This is already fast... Oh, I was just joking, don't mind, maybe they need to prepare tools, carry materials and so on, So walk slowly, I heard that they carry a lot of things."

Alice next to her looked at Lu Ping, just as Lu Ping also looked at her, and they both smiled tacitly.The time was right for the dwarf craftsmen to send them to build fortifications near Leven Fortress, which would not arouse people's suspicion. This was decided very early.Building plank roads in the open, crossing Chen Cang secretly, who would have thought that building defensive facilities is fake, and building portals is real?This time I even saved finding a secret location.

Lu Ping said to the housekeeper, "You can send Princess Alice off for me, we have nothing to talk about."

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "But I haven't prepared the gift yet!"

Lu Ping roared loudly: "No gifts are needed, they didn't come here for friendship at all, they just want to occupy our land, just like Erasia, get out, get out, if it's not because you are envoys, I'll put you all in prison!"

Alice also changed her face: "This is too shameful. Even if you don't welcome us anymore, you should at least have a bit of noble demeanor, right? Ah, I'm very sorry, I forgot that you were originally a villager, not a nobleman."

Lu Ping was furious: "You are limited to disappear in front of my eyes within ten seconds, or I will make you pay for the tricks of the mountain villager, get out—"

The two yelled, and the castle guards outside and Alice's guards rushed in, all nervous.The steward was so anxious that he was at a loss, and hurriedly persuaded Alice not to be angry, and sent them out. The guards knew about the trouble, and the lord fell out with the envoy of Tula Leon.

Lu Ping took ten castle guards and fifty outer city guards, and rode tall horses to the outside of the city to meet the dwarves. Qiuye Tingxue also followed him on horseback.

Bingjiling, Hongyue and Wenwen came out of the training ground, just in time to see the two embracing each other, going out in pairs, so majestic, they were stunned for a while.Two days ago, Lu Ping also said that he would marry An Li. They thought that Lu Ping and Qiuye Tingxue would never get together again, but they didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Qiuye Tingxue appeared again, and the two were still so close.

"How could this be?" Hongyue was so angry and angry that she almost cried.

Bingjiling glared at her: "Why can't this be the case? Wouldn't it be nice for them to be reunited?"

Wenwen said disapprovingly, "I don't believe you feel better!"

Bing Jiling said angrily: "Who said I feel bad? He never said he loved me, and he only regarded us as friends. The person he loves has always been her, and An Li is just a substitute!"

Hongyue pouted and whispered, "Actually, I'm willing to be a substitute..."

Bingjiling suddenly laughed: "Actually, Lengwa is not as ugly as in the game. I made a video with him a few days ago."

"Ah!" Both Hongyue and Wenwen's eyes widened, "Are you in love with him?"

"Don't you think it's better to find someone who loves you, respects you, and cares about you than someone who doesn't take you seriously?"

The two fell silent. Although Bing Jiling was smiling, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes were very complicated...

Lu Ping led the team about ten miles out of the city and met the team of dwarves. Sure enough, they carried a lot of things in carts and carts. They didn't ride horses, and their legs were short, so of course they walked slowly.

There are about two hundred dwarves, all wearing heavy armor and holding large iron shields. They look like warriors, but in fact they are also craftsmen. Every dwarf is born to forge and repair, and most of them are skilled craftsmen.

A particularly tall and strong dwarf came to greet him, and his name was "Nunu". He glanced at the title displayed on Lu Ping's head suspiciously, and his voice was as loud as knocking a stone: "Nunu knows you, how did you become Hammondi? Er's acting lord?"

The dwarves all looked similar, and Lu Ping couldn't remember where he had seen him, maybe in Prince Hesfar's cave palace?It was easier for the acquaintances to talk, and he immediately said with a smile on his face: "You guys have changed a bit when you were on the road. The four old lords of Harmondale have other important things to do, and they have completely handed over the territory to me." Managed, and now on behalf of everyone in Harmondale I welcome you."

Nunuhehe laughed: "The best way to welcome us is to get us drunk with a big barrel of ale!"

The dwarves behind all laughed, and some took out the wine bottles on their waists and took a few sips.

Lu Pingdao: "This is necessary, but there is an emergency situation. The Griffon Empire will attack us in eight days. The situation is critical. I hope you can immediately divert to Levin Fortress to build fortifications, is that okay?"

Nunu yelled: "What, are they really going to attack? This is too much, we will go right away, we must stop them!"

These dwarves have well-developed limbs and simple minds, and they are easy to talk. Lu Ping came up with another aggressive strategy: "They know that you are walking slowly, so they have to attack before you arrive. I'm afraid there will be too little time."

All the dwarves immediately shouted angrily. They hated others who said they were slow, and scolded their ancestors for nothing, and said they were slow.

"We must arrive in eight days... no, five days!" Nunu said angrily.

Lu Ping was sweating profusely. Under normal circumstances, it only took two days to walk, but it took five days, which is not ordinary slow! "Excuse me, what are you carrying in the car? If it is not very important, put it in the city first, and take less things on the road. Maybe you can arrive in four days!"

Nunu shook his head vigorously, shaking his long beard: "The car is full of important tools and materials. We can't do anything without them. We must bring them with us!"

"Okay, okay, then please go to Leven Fortress immediately and arrive as soon as possible, I will prepare wine barrels piled up as high as a mountain and wait for you there!"

Hearing that there was wine to drink, the dwarves all smiled, and immediately turned around and walked in the direction of Levin Fortress.Don't be in a hurry when the fire is imminent, this is their nature, even though they have tried their best, in Lu Ping's eyes, they are still procrastinating and slowing down.

Qiuye Tingxue said to Lu Ping in a secret language: "If they go like this, I'm afraid they won't arrive in five days. Is there still time to build the portal?"

Lu Ping sighed: "There is no way, we can't beat them with a whip, right? If they can arrive in five days, there are still three days left, so there should be still time."

"Then what are we going to do now?"

"I want to level up. I want to train the Firebird to level 10. The Firebird can be ridden, it will be convenient to go anywhere, and the combat power will be stronger."

Qiuye Tingxue showed some curiosity and envy: "Where did you catch your firebird? Is it really a phoenix?"

Lu Pingdao: "It's a phoenix, but it hasn't evolved into a phoenix yet. It's impossible to catch such a beast. Once I accidentally bumped into the Kelanke laboratory, and it just broke out of its shell, and it recognized me as the master." Yes. What riding pet are you?"

Qiuye Tingxue laughed and said: "Not yet, I want to grab one, but I don't like one, I don't want one that is too vicious, and I don't like one that is too weak, so I just leave it empty."

"What do you want, I'll grab one for you."

"No, don't bother, just do what you have to do."

Lu Pingdao: "Since you have joined our team, you have to act with us. Not having a good outfit will hinder your progress, so it is still necessary. Do you want to fly or run?"

Qiuye Tingxue hesitated for a moment: "Of course it can fly!"

Flying ones can’t be found in Harmondale better than griffins, but griffins are not easy to get. The last time I stole two little griffins, I almost lost my life. Until now, the group of griffins often Hanging around the town of Harmondale, trying to get revenge on him!
Qiu Ye listened to Xue and said: "You really don't need to trouble, or you can catch another one if you meet one in the future. A satisfied riding pet is hard to come by."

"Okay, then let's go back to the city first, gather the manpower and go to kill the monsters."

"To spawn monsters, do you need to recruit people?"

"Of course, someone has to specialize in attracting monsters and escorting them to be efficient. Otherwise, why are the bosses of those guilds all higher in level than others?"

"So this is ah!"

"..."

The two chatted while walking back, Qiuye Tingxue was only level 23, and he only had an orange staff, an orange hat, and three yellow rings, and the rest turned out to be white boards.Lu Ping's eyeballs almost fell out. He is really a rookie, but he doesn't know if this rookie can be cultivated. When he goes back, he will get her a whole set of red equipment first.

As soon as the two of them walked into the city gate with their guards, they saw Talis leading his capable cavalry from the tavern and stopped in front of them. side.
