With Angina's confirmation, Allen's activated [Oak Decryption Ink Cartridge] was the Heart of Oak she was looking for.
It is the key to unlocking the ruins of the Dark Oak Temple.
But I don’t know if it can still be turned on normally after activation.
"No matter what, just go and try it and you will know."
This is the conclusion given by Allen.
Allen also asked Angina what she wanted to get from the ruins of this temple. The answer given by Angina was that there was a powerful mage under the command of this demigod, and there was likely to be that mage's notes there.
In addition, there will definitely be magic items and materials in the ruins of the temple, all of which Angeina, the mage, needs.
"Okay, then let's try our luck in the ruins of this temple."
Even if there are no items containing rules, Angina, the mage, will still gain something.
…
Although I have made a decision, I can't set off immediately.
After taking over Nord, an island rich in products, Allen's daily necessities were fully guaranteed, but Allen still faced many problems.
The first problem is that the soldiers under Allen's command now have a very large equipment gap.
Originally, the Black Wind Wolf Cavalry could have been transformed into heavily armored cavalry, but now they are not even fully equipped with armor, let alone the wolf armor on the Deep Black Wolf, which is completely missing.
In addition, the gaps in bows, arrows, shields, etc. are very large and require a lot of replenishment.
Especially now that soldiers hunt in large numbers every night, even ordinary swords are in short supply.
In addition, the large crossbows on Nord Island are also very practical. One arrow can pin two trolls to the ground together.
However, the materials for making large crossbows are very scarce on Nord Island, and there are no craftsmen who can make them. The Nord family purchases them from other fleets.
Second, now that Allen has two spellcasters under his command, Angeina's magic items have been almost exhausted.
She was originally a very wealthy noble mage, but now she is even poorer than a wandering mage.
Although Kalma potion materials can be obtained from various sources, these can only be used to prepare some simple hemostatic and analgesic potions and poisons.
If you want to prepare powerful potions with special effects, you still lack various special materials.
Third, Liming Island is now big enough, but transportation is still inconvenient.
Flying creatures such as pterodactyls and griffons can quickly shuttle back and forth on the island, but their numbers are still too small to be considered a team for the time being.
This also involves the defense around the island, which is a relatively thorny issue.
However, Allen feels that there is currently an opportunity to alleviate these problems.
…
"Come on, pick and choose, choose and see which islands may be attacked by trolls."
On the long table in the Nordburg hall, Allen spread out a sea map nearly two meters long and asked everyone to pick out islands that might be targets of trolls.
If, as Kalma said, the trolls would attack the human islands in the South Bay Alliance in large numbers, then Allen felt that he could follow behind and pick up the slack.
As the saying goes, when the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole stalks behind.
Allen knew very well that if he wanted to rely on activation for expansion, it would mean that there would be war wherever he went.
People with this kind of characteristics were usually villains in the movies and TV shows Allen watched before.
Once Allen frequently attacks the human world, everyone will shout and fight, and even those originally hostile races will unite to deal with Allen.
But if Allen followed the trolls to pick up corpses, or even took the opportunity to eliminate several troll armies, not many people would pay attention to him in this chaotic war.
Even if they are noticed, they have no time to estimate Allen for the time being.
And Allen's strategy is to fight if he can, and if he can't fight, just escape with Dawn Island.
…
"The Diderot family can."
Reno pointed to a triangle-like island on the sea map and said: "There is an iron mine on the island of the Diderot family and there are many blacksmiths, which meets our needs."
"My dear, you have changed so quickly. You betrayed your former partner so quickly."
Onifu said while eating red fruit.
"We are just trading partners. The Diderot family has made a lot of money with us."
Renault was not embarrassed at all, and said calmly: "Besides, their island was really invaded by trolls. My Lord sent troops to save them, and he just received some reward on the way."
"That makes sense."
Allen patted Renault on the shoulder with praise, then pointed to the sea map and asked: "Which other island may be the target of the troll?"
"Long Reef Islands, Silver Flower Island, Giant Turtle Island..."
Renault marked several islands in succession on the maritime map, all of which were small islands near the northwest, not much larger than Nord Island.
"If I were a troll on an expedition, I would definitely capture these islands first, then settle down on these islands, and then expand to other larger islands around me."
Renault added and explained, and Karma next to him nodded in agreement.
Because that was Kalma's original plan.
"Well, let's start with these islands."
Allen ordered Crete: "Leave all the pterodactyl knights to your deployment. Send out the scouts first. In addition, Karma will also cooperate with the fleet."
Karma has sailed so far with his fleet and also knows the trolls very well, so he should be of great help to Crete.
"Yes, my lord."
Crete and Karma responded in unison.
Allen waved his hand, "Okay, you go ahead."
The two of them immediately left the hall to make arrangements, and Lesa, Doron and Jinrok also left with them.
The next step is the daily affairs and resource arrangement on the island. Renault and Kelly will coordinate and share the resources on both sides of the island, mainly redistributing food, weapons and armaments.
Allen's wish is to establish a weapons and armor armament workshop, specifically responsible for creating, repairing and recycling weapons.
This can not only replenish equipment gaps in a purposeful manner, but also facilitate the management of some looted loot.
Of course, there are still many details, such as whether armor and weapon manufacturing should be divided into two groups, whether bow and arrow manufacturing should also be included, and who is responsible for managing the collection of materials, etc.
This involves the management and distribution of resources and humans. After hearing this, Allen didn't want to stay in the hall any longer.
At this time, the value of Renault and Kelly emerged. The two took the trouble to write down every requirement, then began to sort it out slowly, and then started arranging according to the list of craftsmen.
"You two go ahead and show me your plan when you have it."
Allen stood up, stopped disturbing the two busy people, and took Faschi out of Nordburg.
Although Autumn has entered autumn now, the midday sun is still a bit dazzling. Allen, who just walked into the courtyard, retreated to the shade.
Allen glanced at Fasqi and asked: "Eh? Why is your face so red today? Did you just tan?"
Fasqi shook her head, "I don't know, I just feel a little...uncomfortable..."
She usually has a cold complexion, but now she is flushed and looks a little strange.
"Well, it's muggy and hot today, and I feel uncomfortable too."
Allen nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but flap his hands twice, "We should build a swimming pool in the castle, where you can take a bath at any time, and let Angina prepare some ice cubes..."
Just as Allen was imagining, the system prompt suddenly interrupted him,
[The swallowing of Dawn Island is completed, and the level is raised to level seven]
