Chapter 64 The Portal Construction Begins

The two arrived at a huge observation porthole.

Outside the window is a thick layer of ice, with a lighting system below emitting a faint blue light that illuminates the textures inside the ice.

"Commander Lin."

Long Zhan handed him a cigarette.

Lin Mo waved his hand.

"Won't."

Long Zhan didn't force him. He lit one himself, took a drag, and the smoke he exhaled drifted out the window.

"Once the portal opens, command of the expeditionary force will be in my hands."

His voice was calm.

"However, the future of Great Xia, and the lives of those 25,000 soldiers, all rest on your shoulders."

Long Zhan turned around, his expression solemn.

"I remember the Chief's orders very clearly."

"Your safety is the highest priority of this expedition, above all other mission objectives."

He paused for a moment.

Even if... the entire expeditionary force is wiped out.

Lin Mo's smile faded, and he remained silent.

After a moment of silence, he smiled again.

"General Long, I understand what you mean."

Don't worry.

"I don't have any other good points, my only problem is that I'm afraid of dying."

"I won't joke with my own life, much less risk the lives of 25,000 soldiers to become some kind of saintly hero."

Long Zhan stared at him for a few seconds, then stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette on the armrest.

I believe you.

Back in his room, Lin Mo threw himself heavily onto the bed.

To put it bluntly, Long Zhan's words were a warning that he might act recklessly, leading to unnecessary sacrifices.

Fortunately, Lin Mo was quite self-aware and always believed in leaving professional matters to professionals, rather than meddling in others' affairs.

Currently, everything is progressing steadily.

He turned over and turned off the bedside lamp.

......

When Lin Mo opened his eyes again, the soft morning light of the Terra continent was shining through the window.

He sprang out of bed with a bang, full of energy as if he could kill a bull.

Just after washing up, Fendona knocked on the door.

"Lord Lin Mo, it's time for us to depart. Everything is almost ready."

Under Elder Muyu's supervision, the Holy Human Race was highly efficient.

Lin Mo followed Fendona to the gathering square.

Elder Muyu and Archbishop Kyle were already waiting there.

Behind Kyle was a solemn-looking team.

Several mages dressed in magnificent white robes held strange magical artifacts, while flying mounts guarded by knights surrounded them.

Upon seeing Lin Mo, Kyle snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with this inferior person who woke up naturally and made people wait.

Lin Mo chose to ignore it and looked at Elder Mu Yu.

"Good day, Lord Lin Mo." Elder Mu Yu performed a standard elven greeting.

"Everything is ready, shall we set off?"

Lin Mo returned the greeting.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, let's go."

The group left the City of Holy Light in a grand procession.

The elven delegation still rode a three-headed dragon, while the holy humans also had dragons, but they were enslaved.

It's fine if these three giant dragons don't see their enslaved brethren, but if you bring them out to show off in front of them, wouldn't that be deliberately trying to sow discord?

Kyle is proud but not stupid. His conflict with the three-headed dragon in the city was a complete idiot.

Therefore, they did not choose dragons as their means of transportation and escort; the clergy rode winged pegasus, while the guards were griffins.

Suddenly, Lin Mo's gaze froze.

He stared intently at Archbishop Kyle's mount.

It was a Pegasus that was a size larger than an ordinary Pegasus, nearly three meters tall, with a spiral horn on its forehead emitting a soft halo... a unicorn Pegasus.

He nudged Fendona beside him, pointed at the Pegasus, and lowered his voice.

"How did that thing grow on your head?"

Following Lin Mo's gaze, Fendona explained in a low voice:

"Lord Lin Mo, that is a unicorn pegasus, the king of pegasus, a symbol of purity and nobility. Only high-ranking clergy of the Holy See are qualified to ride it..."

"Male or female?" Lin Mo interrupted her.

Fendona: "...It should be male."

"Oh." Lin Mo nodded, stroking his chin, looking thoughtful.

"Why is it so outstanding?"

"Is there anything different about that corner?"

Fendona:

"That's the sacred horn; it can unleash powerful healing spells and defensive barriers!"

Lin Mo suddenly realized,

"Got it, super healer."

Fendona: "..."

Lin Mo's thirst for knowledge was clearly not satisfied, and he continued to ask curiously:

"I heard that unicorn blood is silver and that drinking it gives you a buff, is that true?"

Fendona's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Your Excellency Lin Mo! Please, please don't have such terrible thoughts!"

"If the other party hears this, it will be seen as provocation!"

Kyle, who was not far away, seemed to have noticed the gazes from this side and proudly straightened his body.

The unicorn horse beneath him also raised its head, letting out a clear and melodious cry, its holy radiance flashing and disappearing in an instant.

A blatant display of wealth.

Lin Mo pursed his lips.

"What's so great about it? It's just a scrolling light."

Because they were in a hurry, and with Kyle and his group with them, they didn't need to fly as cautiously or take detours, and returned to the Elf King City in just over three hours.

Queen Ellari personally met with Kyle, had a brief meal, and then designated an area as the site for the teleportation portal.

The location is in a wide valley east of the royal city, leading to the City of Green Leaves, where there is a small town called Firefly Town.

This place has a forest of firefly-shaped leaves that glow at night, hence the name.

The Queen is meticulous.

The terrain here is well-concealed, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At the same time, it can trap humans between the Elf King's City and the Demon City of Emerald Leaves.

In case humans have any ill intentions and want to attack the Elf King's city, they can maintain a certain buffer distance.

At the same time, five thousand elven warriors were dispatched to escort and guard the portal to prevent any accidents from occurring during its construction.

Upon arriving at the location, Kyle looked at Elder Muyu and spoke.

"Where should the portal be located?"

Elder Muyu looked at Lin Mo upon hearing this.

Lin Mo didn't stand on ceremony and said directly to Fendona:

"Please, take me for a spin in the sky."

Fendona immediately summoned a griffin.

Flying high into the sky against the wind, the entire valley unfolds before your eyes.

A moment later, he pointed to a clearing in the center of the valley.

"Right there."

"Surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a narrow entrance and high ground on both flanks, it is easy to set up crossfire positions."

"The valley is flat and open, which facilitates the rapid assembly and deployment of our troops."

"This place is great, a perfect defensive position and logistical base. The nearby elven town also makes communication and coordination easier."

Upon hearing this string of military jargon, Fendona glanced at Lin Mo with some surprise.

After the two finished their survey, they confirmed the location.

Kyle waved his hand, gave the order, and everyone began the groundbreaking work.

Lin Mo watched this exciting scene with excitement. The Great Xia Dynasty was finally about to officially land on the Terra Continent!
