Chapter 1,155 The Way Forward

"Bandak, why didn't I know you were so familiar with the Secret Forest?" the Marquis asked.
"Familiar?" The attendant named by the Marquis looked surprised. Immediately, as if he understood something, he opened the water mirror screen of a forum and displayed a document. "Except for the once-a-year hunt, which I would follow here to take care of the horses, I have never been so far into the forest, so how could I be familiar with it? I read the information about the secret forest on the forum and asked the veterans to know more about it. The path to take.”
"There is such information!" Although I know that there is a lot of information on the forum, it is also quite messy. The Marquis didn't know what those things were specifically, so he was surprised.
"I'm thinking that one day I'll make money, I'll travel around, and live out my addiction to being an adventurer. But that day seems far away, so there are many fans on the forum to read what other adventurers have left. Travel notes or regional introductions to satisfy your desire for travel. Of course, the authenticity of these information is beyond doubt. Some people will verify it, and some people who have had the same experience will supplement or correct it. And I spent a lot of time For big money, buy information that will be updated to the latest situation. At least it will be new information within two months, unless you are really unlucky and there have been big changes in the past two months."
After understanding the information spoken by his subordinates, Marquis Farshid couldn't help but curse: "Damn it! I curse the inventor of that forum!"
"Ah, what?" The proud Bandak was stunned for a moment.
"No, it's okay. Show me the thing." Marquis Farshid couldn't help but cursed. He buried his thoughts deep in his heart and never mentioned them.
He didn't know what other nobles thought of the forum, but from the perspective of a military general, he understood that the uncontrolled flow of information was definitely harmful and unhelpful.
The most important point is how untrained people can identify the authenticity of intelligence. There are countless examples of the spread of false information that has changed the situation of war or politics. But he was powerless to stop all this, so he could only curse a few words.
However, the information Bandak has in front of him is related to his life and death, so of course he needs to understand it. You have to go through the browser magic stone to check its content. The most important thing is to confirm the source, credibility, and breadth of circulation.
The original function of the forum is actually very simple. But users always have some workarounds to add some extra features. For example, for paid information like this, as long as it is not very confidential and involves adult information, the seller will add records of how many people have purchased from him and relevant evaluations to increase the credibility of the information.
The Marquis did not have much doubt about the authenticity of the message. At least everything went smoothly under the leadership of Bandak. He was concerned with another issue.
After taking a few quick glances, and then looking at the data he was most concerned about, the Marquis immediately confirmed that his worries were well-founded.
However, Bandak seemed completely unaware. While handing over the magic stone, he did not forget to talk about his plan. "We are going to go west next. After reaching the river bank, we will then go north along the river. Except for amphibious creatures, other carnivorous animals rarely hunt near the river bank, which is considered a safe area. When we arrive at Pibis After the mountains, you can cross the mountains from the nearest and lowest mountain pass. After reaching the other side, go all the way north. You will soon pass through the secret forest on the north side and return to the civilized world. This is the safest route. Many experienced hunters and adventurers recommend it.”
"You are right, this is the safest way. So we will not go this way." The Marquis directly stated his decision.
Not only Bandak was surprised at this time, but Kazim, another fellow protector who was in charge of the rear, was also puzzled.
Like his illegitimate brother, these two were comrades who joined the army together. It's not a matter of life and death together. If you have anything to say, just say it. This is their way of getting along. Although he rejected the other party's plan, Marquis Farshed still explained:
"The reason for not taking the safest road is because that road is recommended by this guide that many people know. This also means that there is a great chance that our pursuers also know this road. And this The introduction is very detailed, and the territory of the World of Warcraft we will pass along the way is also clearly written. As long as we master this information, the progress speed will not be much worse. In this way, we will have no advantage in breaking into the secret forest. We originally expected According to the danger and complexity of the forest, we need to keep distance from our pursuers. If we all take the same safe path, wouldn't it just become a race?"
"Well, that's true." Kazim first agreed.
At the same time, Bandak also knew that his opinion was rejected. It was not a casual comment, but a carefully considered decision. He also agreed with the Marquis' statement, but showed a pity expression and said: "In this case, this guide to the secret realm will be useless."
"No, it is still very useful." The Marquis moved the displayed screen to the map containing the estimated distribution area of Warcraft, and said: "At least he lets us know the general distribution of those troubles, which is very useful. We can Knowing where to go will be a choice we can handle."
"Oh, sir, you already have a direction." Kazim said.
"Yes, let's go in this direction." Marquis Farshed used his finger to draw a line on the map displayed on the water mirror screen.
Kazim was still memorizing the map carefully, but Bandak, who was quite familiar with the content of the secret guide, was stunned for a moment. Then he trembled all over, stammered in his speech, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, do you know whose territory this is?"
"Well, the content of your guide is not very clear. Or is this wrong information?" Marquis Farshid asked doubtfully.
Bandak lowered his voice, but stretched his neck, and said depressingly: "This is the territory of the Azure Dragon. It is a dragon, the top existence in the secret forest. We really have a way to go from here, And survive?"
The Azure Dragon is a very unique colored dragon that does not belong to any known dragon clan. The Lord of the Secret Forest. If it were elsewhere, it would have entered the sequence of king-level monsters.
But within the empire, there is no king level.
This is because the evaluation of king-level monsters is not only a recognition of strength, but also a helpless compromise of human society. 'Because I can't deal with that monster, I admit that the territory it occupies belongs to its territory, and no one should enter.'
But as the top forces in Lost Land, the five empires have no such troubles. As long as it is alive, they can kill it; even if it is dead, they can make the other party die again, and this time it will still be completely dead. But what kind of price it will cost and whether it is worth it is another matter.
Jade Green Dragon is such an existence. The strength is top-notch. Although he does not have the title of king, no one dares to underestimate him. And it is also one of the reasons why the Gwana Empire did not completely clean up the secret forest. It wasn't that he was afraid of the dragon or that he was unable to destroy it, but that a long time ago, the green dragon made an agreement with a certain emperor.
The content of the agreement is now unknown. In short, the dragon did not leave the confines of the forest, and subsequent emperors had no intention of breaking the status quo and disturbing the other party. The most important thing is... "That dragon is negotiable." The Marquis said.
