“Mm.” Elder Mantle nodded slightly: “What do you need me to do?”
Ian’s plan was so perfect, the fact that he discussed it instead of acting alone surely meant he needed help with something.
“Draw more of the Rebel Highlanders’ main forces to the Frodo Autonomous Region.”
This was Ian’s real purpose: “Elder Mantle, next I will provide you with a batch of ‘Magnetic Storm Armor’ as support for weaponry.
I need you to widely publicize this matter, promoting it as the thunder punishment from the Dragon God’s Emissary, and make others believe that this is my way of supporting the Dragon Worship Cult and you.”
At this point, Ian’s expression became serious: “Elder, you need to let the enemy capture a ‘Magnetic Storm Armor.'”
“It would be best if the people from Fiery Flame Land capture it, but if not, others will do.
Don’t make it too obvious, let them believe that it is a hard-earned spoil of war.”
Elder Mantle understood, he now knew Ian’s purpose.
Those Magnetic Storm Armors must have positioning devices inside that could help Ian locate the Fiery Flame Land’s base in the Bison Mountain Range.
By then, The Empire would surely deploy elite troops, working with the King of the Mountain to destroy it in one fell swoop!
Although Fiery Flame Land must also have shielding technology, but if Ian is so confident, why not believe?
By now, even if Ian told Elder Mantle he could advance to the Third Energy Level immediately, he would believe him without a doubt.
At this moment, the old man smiled, but was a bit puzzled: “But isn’t the Magnetic Storm Armor your exclusive technology?
Just like that, giving it to the enemy…”
Don’t let trusted people drive it.”
Ian shook his head, he did not regard the Magnetic Storm technology as too vital, but how could he just give it to the opponent for no reason?
Elder Mantle, experienced and wise, completely understood what ‘special’ meant.
So he stroked his beard with a smile: “I understand.
Rest assured, I will let those ‘people’ on the list and the suspicious ones drive it.”
“By then, a battle wouldn’t even be necessary, they will just deliver the Magnetic Storm Armor.”
“That would be best.” Ian laughed heartily—without needing to fight, there would be no slip-ups, and a spoil delivered by spies would surely go directly to research.
That was exactly the scenario he wanted.
Having discussed matters of war cooperation, Ian then inquired about some important information.
For instance, where did Elder Mantle get the Third Energy Level Magical Medicine Ingredients?
—Was it bought legitimately, or an ancestral legacy?
If bought, then where is there a channel not under the attention of The Empire?
If an ancestral legacy…
do the Mountain People still have any leftover Third Energy Level Magical Medicine Ingredients left?
Even if expensive, once Xia Hui Territory got on track, Ian could fully afford to buy them.
“It’s from the True Dragon channel of the King of the Mountain.”
Elder Mantle didn’t even ask why, he directly gave Ian the answer: “This is also why I joined the Dragon Worship Cult—another identity opens another path, although it also brings quite a bit of trouble and business, but overall, this identity from the Dragon Worship Cult still brings me quite a few benefits.”
“After Sio is healed, the King of the Mountain will definitely actively search for Third Energy Level magical ingredients for you… of course, if it’s potion materials, that’s also fine.
Overall, with the King of the Mountain, you needn’t worry about this issue.”
“True Dragons are quite wealthy.” Elder Mantle said meaningfully.
“Then I’m relieved.” Ian similarly whispered with a smile.
Though it felt a bit like relying on others, considering the King of the Mountain could also be a dignified father, Ian didn’t mind whether it was freeloading or riding on coattails.
—And besides, a channel from the True Dragon?
“In that case, something as rare as the Earth Pulse Source Crystal…
might not be so hard to obtain.”
With a mind full of grand harvest, Ian and Green Tide set off on their journey back to the Xia Hui Territory.
As things progressed favorably for Ian, spies from Fiery Flame Land throughout South Ridge suffered greatly.
