After resting for the entire night, Yang Yu's troops delved even deeper into Qinghe Volcano.
As long as the troops strictly followed his battle plans, gradually gaining the upper hand wasn't difficult.
Unfortunately, the Luo Ze Empire wasn't made up of fools; Yang Yu and his troops couldn't ensure they would succeed every time.
If just a few people managed to escape, the generals of Luo Ze Empire could discern some clues.
He also couldn't predict what actions they might take thereafter.
As for the "allies" hidden within the Luo Ze Empire, Yang Yu couldn't rely on them; they had indeed provided considerable help during the capture of East View City.
However, when attacking Benliang City, they seemed to vanish from the Mortal World.
For the time being, it was impossible to confirm if there were other forces involved in this war; one shouldn't place hope in such elusive things.
"Mu Jin, you know the Magic of Weather Control, right?"
Taking advantage of his position, Yang Yu had naturally formed a small group with his companions, following other troops stealthily through the jungle, searching for isolated Luo Ze soldiers attempting to attack the inland of Wansheng Country, approaching the Luo Ze soldiers' stronghold.
"The Magic of Weather Control is a High Order spell.
The difficulty of manipulating different types of weather varies.
To turn the weather into a clear day, you just need to remove the rain clouds above.
If you want to make it rain on a completely clear day, the magic required is much more complex.
Additionally, aspects such as the coverage area and the sustained duration also affect, to some extent, the casting of the spell.
Like the All Things Library, they conduct regular, long-duration rainfall to cleanse the city; that level of magic can only be achieved by someone of Teacher Li Yan's caliber.
When chatting with Tico during leisure time, Tico also said she could at most achieve a quarter of what Master Li Yan can..."
Bai Jin shared her knowledge.
"Now that you mention it, that's indeed true," Lotcar said, recalling the past, "I remember that the All Things Library does that to prevent the books from getting damp.
They only rain at specific times; otherwise, it's usually sunny.
They always announce the upcoming weather well in advance.
It's called a weather forecast, but it's essentially weather manipulation.
Specifically, whether it was for a month or a week, I can't quite remember. Ying Luo always looked it up...
General Potato, why do you want to know this? Are you thinking of utilizing the weather for warfare?"
"Well, when battling in these kinds of forests, we should consider all sorts of scenarios. If Luo Ze's troops get toyed with by us over and over, who knows, they might resort to setting the forest ablaze.
If they really start a forest fire, then we need to be prepared and ensure the survival of our troops in the vast sea of flames as much as possible.
I was thinking, it would be great if a sudden downpour could extinguish that fire.
The range of rainfall I need is not vast, just about the size of a city."
Yang Yu said this and turned to face Bai Jin,
"Mu Jin, is it something you can do?"
After a moment of silence, Bai Jin finally spoke:
"I don't know now, but I can try. I've heard about the principles of weather manipulation from Tico.
Moreover, to engage in combat in the air, good weather is also necessary.
Some degree of Weather Magic is a required course for Mages.
If you encounter a thunderstorm while casting a spell, getting interrupted by lightning could very well be fatal.
I originally intended to learn 'Dancing in the Air' before mastering weather magic, but now that the Grand General has brought it up, I'll prioritize this spell a bit more."
If only I could directly control a thunderstorm, it would be wonderful to conjure a gloriously fierce lightning storm, striking down wherever I go.
Unfortunately, Bai Jin's "Dark Thunder Surge" and "Frost Nova" were already considered large-scale devastating magic, and if one could truly control the weather for an attack, they would certainly be on the list of prohibited spells.
However, if it was solely about controlling the weather, that was completely within the rules.
This was something Yang Yu had personally inquired about from the giant dragon.
"Let's do that then!
Furthermore, Mu Jin, you can try to draw the water from the rivers up to the sky and then bring down rain, which might save quite a bit of time.
No, I should say, you must draw the water from the rivers up to the sky and then make it rain.
The sooner, the better to save some lives."
"I understand," Bai Jin nodded.
"Also, if you learn 'Dancing in the Air,' you must teach me when there's a need in the future."
This time, Bai Jin showed a sweet smile and replied, "Mhm!"
Continuing their journey through the jungle, Yang Yu and his companions quickly found another Luo Ze's troop that had set out to attack Wansheng Country.
This time there were more than seven thousand people.
But, what was there to fear from a mere seven thousand people?
...
...
At this moment, atop a certain Snow Mountain.
A gray-white demon in the form of a snow leopard was confronting a dark blue lizard creature.
The demon snow leopard opened its gaping maw and pounced towards the dark creature.
"Die, worthless lowly creature."
The dark blue lizard creature stood on its hind legs, raising a finger, and in an instant, a golden beam shot out from the tip of her finger, piercing the heart of the snow leopard demon.
In an instant, the snow leopard's blood dyed the snow red, and the dark blue creature stepped on the body of the leopard, declaring its victory.
Afterward, the creature bent down, ripped apart the corpse of the snow leopard demon, and feasted on it.
After leaving the goblin's maze, the former Goblin Emperor Cide had shed her skin several times, completely losing the characteristics of a goblin from her body.
Now, she had become a half-human, half-lizard being.
This state would not last long.
As long as she continued to feed and absorb the energy required for molting, she could complete the final transformation and become a true new species of giant dragon.
At that time, she could create her own army single-handedly.
Instead of roaming around to capture females and spawn increasingly inferior offspring.
It was precisely because her offspring became lesser with each generation that Cide was willing to use her descendants as tools for her revival.
This Mortal World was different from the Demon World; there weren't as many powerful and magical females to sustain the bloodline of the warrior Goblin Clan.
The goblin race in this world had degenerated long ago, only bullying livestock or weak human females.
Mingling with them would only cause further degradation of her own bloodline.
But now things were different...
If one could reproduce on their own, there would be no need to worry about the decline of their race.
With time, she could create an army all by herself.
Conquering this world would also be as easy as turning over one's hand.
However, this favor given by the Hero, she had to find a way to repay it first.
