Roddy and Merlinsera didn't bother with pleasantries. There were all kinds of materials in the lab that could be used to make summoning stones. After choosing for a while, he decided to start with the lowest level "earth element".
After placing the materials in front of him, Roddy gestured that everything was ready. Merlinsera inserted a charging crystal and activated the interplanar teleportation portal. She had perfected her control over the portal through countless experiences, and after injecting energy into the portal without any mistakes, a ray of light suddenly flashed from the center of the portal.
Roddy instantly felt the elemental impact from the other plane. Although they were all "elements", the "elements" from the other plane were obviously more violent and unfamiliar. While Roddy was in a daze, Merlinsera beside him said, "Hurry up, I can't hold it for long."
"Okay."
After coming back to his senses, Roddy quickly glanced at the skill bar in front of him and found that the gray page had finally lit up. He knew that this was indeed fine. He then clicked on the notification and began to establish communication and contact with the creatures in the elemental plane according to the steps on it.
Roddy's magic attainments couldn't compare to Merlinsera's, but with the help of the system, although his movements in carving the portal were a bit rusty, he didn't make any major mistakes. Through the tiny elemental plane channel, Roddy searched the land of the elemental plane for a minute and soon found a weak existence with self-awareness.
He observed for a moment and thought that this should be an "earth element lizard". Because the opponent's level was very low and it looked harmless, Roddy didn't encounter any obstacles when he signed a contract with it. Thus, he successfully branded the magic contract on both their souls.
After that, Rody placed the 'Elemental Summoning Stone' that he had created at the edge of the portal. He used his mental strength to lock on the lizard and drove it to pass through the portal. He then transferred and bound it to the stone.
This elemental creature didn't struggle, and it gave Roddy the impression that it was a docile lizard. After it was bound to the summoning stone, its body seemed to have fused with it. Without delay, Roddy quickly took the summoning stone to the side. To him, the production of the "elemental summoning stone" was over, and this stone had become the "home" of the earth element lizard.
As long as it was nourished by energy regularly, it could survive for a long time in its original plane. But because it was a creature from the Elemental Plane, the skills and power it used after absorbing energy were obviously very different from the "elemental creatures" of this plane.
Seeing that he had successfully cast the spell, Merlinsera heaved a sigh of relief and quickly closed the magic circle. Because the opening was twice as big as usual, she was afraid that it would attract the attention of some large elemental creatures. She had only found the coordinates after many attempts. If she accidentally drove into the nest of some Elemental Lord, it would definitely be a disaster.
"Whew … it's done."
Roddy wiped the sweat off his forehead. This was his first attempt, and his whole body was tense. Fortunately, the result was acceptable. Picking up the 'Elemental Summoning Stone', Roddy noticed that there was an energy slot on it. At the same time, it also displayed the Earth Elemental Lizard's HP, level, and skills.
Compared to the 'Earth Elemental' of this elemental plane, this ordinary-looking lizard's HP wasn't very high. It only had a little more than 5,000 HP.
But Roddy knew that this was one of the lowest level creatures in this elemental plane. Its level was displayed as Level 5. Among the Level 5 magical beasts in this plane, those with more than 400 HP were considered outstanding.
After reading it carefully, Roddy was instantly pleasantly surprised. This lizard had three passive skills in its skill bar:
[Earth Stealth]: Able to move stealthily in areas with abundant earth elements.
[Armor Enhancement]: Increases armor value by 15 points when attacked. Can be stacked up to 20 times.
[Solidify]: Spitting attacks have a certain probability of causing a permanent solidification effect in the area (can be exempted).
Compared to the 'Elemental Summoning Stone', this Earth Elemental Lizard didn't have any outstanding combat power. But if such a low-level lizard could have three passive skills, Roddy couldn't imagine how powerful that Elemental Lord would be …
"How is it?"
Seeing him in a daze, Merlinsera couldn't help but ask.
"Very good, very powerful. But if I want to sign a contract with a stronger creature, I still need more practice. By the way, there's a place where I can test its ability. Shall we go and have a look? "
Roddy remembered Sodelor's battle arrangement and immediately asked Merlinsera.
"Go out now? Where is it? "
"It's on the bank of Ramu River, but it's upstream."
"Let's go."
Merlinsera didn't waste any time. She removed the crystal from the magic circle and prepared to go out. Rody picked up the summoning stone and confirmed that the energy bar was full. He then summoned the young Shadow Dragon that had been raised outside the city. The two of them boarded the cabin in the square. After taking off, they arrived at their destination in less than three minutes.
While in the air, Merlinsera had a rough idea of where they were going to land. Five kilometers to the east was the ferry where the expeditionary army had bombed the enemy during the day. The north bank, which was occupied by the enemy a few days ago, was now brightly lit. She could see the neat tents and lit bonfires of the Kingdom of Karen's army, as if a large number of troops were stationed at the ferry, facing the enemy across the river.
But when Merlinsera observed from the air, she realized that there weren't that many people at the ferry, at most four to five hundred.
Where did they go?
Merlinsera frowned and pondered, but she didn't ask Roddy.
The place where they were about to land was inconspicuous in the night, but when the baby Shadow Dragon completely landed, the surroundings suddenly brightened, allowing her to see everything clearly.
"Are you going to … cross the river?"
Merlinsera immediately realized that this was the cover of the 'Shadow Magic Circle'. As a former Shadow Dragon, she knew that the function of this magic circle was to block out light within a certain area. From the outside, it was pitch-black, but within the range of the magic circle, she saw a team of thousands of people working in full swing!
"Yes, the Lamu River is a problem for ordinary troops, but it's not a problem for my army."
Roddy pointed to the opposite bank. "The paratroopers have completed their mission and are already on the other side. Erwin and the others will assist the engineering company in building the bridge."
The current at this port was very fast, and the distance between the two banks was much wider than the ferry in the east. At the same time, the shoals were very steep, making it difficult for ships to dock.
Merlinsera glanced in the direction of the ferry in the distance. "Will they find out about this place?"
"We have all kinds of contingency plans, but whether they find out or not, the result will be the same."
Merlinsera didn't understand Roddy's words. She was used to thinking from a human's point of view, so she knew very well that if an army wanted to cross the river, the cheapest way was to transport them by ship in batches. However, the speed of transporting people was still acceptable, but large machinery was out of the question. There were no ships big enough to carry the artillery carriages of the Kingdom of Karen, let alone transport them. The only way was to dismantle them and slowly ferry them across.
