Wen Wenhai and the others stared, they didn't think that Zhao Hai would say this. After some time, Wen Wenhai turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Tian, are you saying that you can repair the Transmission Formation?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, I can repair the Transmission Formation. In fact, not only can I repair it, as long as you give me the materials, I can also make a new one."
When Wen Wenhai and the others heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. One must know that this information was very important for them. One must know that when they fought against the beasts, they would generally protect the Transmission Formation. However, if they did that, then they would only have one strategy left. This kind of rigid strategy wouldn't do them any good.
However, they had no choice but to do so. If they didn't protect the Transmission Formation, then it would be tantamount to cutting off their last lifeline. If the beasts really destroyed the Transmission Formation, then they would never be able to return to the stronghold. It was simply impossible to return to the stronghold from the forest. The beasts that they would encounter along the way would be enough to kill them all.
However, if Zhao Hai really wants to repair the Transmission Formation, or even make a new one, then their strategy would be much more flexible. When the beasts attack the stronghold, they would be able to temporarily leave. Moreover, the beasts had their own territories, and the stronghold wasn't a place that they liked. Once the beasts leave, then they could return to the stronghold. This way, their losses would be much smaller.
Wen Wenhai and the others cheered. After some time, everyone calmed down. Wen Wenhai looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Tian, if what you said is true, then our stronghold can be saved. How about this, there are some things in the warehouse. Those things seem to be used to arrange the Transmission Formation. However, we don't know how to use them. Why don't you go take a look?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, let's go. I'll go take a look." After saying that, he stood up. Wen Wenhai quickly led Zhao Hai towards the warehouse.
In No.12 Foothold, no one was in charge of the warehouse because the commander of the foothold had died, and the one in charge of the warehouse was also dead. However, there was no need to take care of the warehouse because there were only a few things in it: dry food, dried meat, salt, some spare weapons, and some array talismans. These things were really useless for the people in the foothold. They had enough dry food and could only eat so much in a day, so it was useless to take more. The same went for the meat and salt. As for the spare weapons, generally no one would touch them because their weapons were the most suitable for them and were custom-made. As for the array talismans, they were even more useless because no one would use them.
Zhao Hai followed Wen Wenhai to the warehouse. The stronghold's warehouse was divided into ten rooms. One room was used to store weapons, one room was used to store formation talismans, and the rest were used to store dry rations, meat jerky, salt, and other things. Oh, right, there was also a room used to store biological funds, such as pots and pans. In short, there was nothing good inside.
Zhao Hai had also been to the warehouse before. When he first arrived at the stronghold, he took some dry rations, meat jerky, and other things. He also took some daily necessities before returning to his room. He didn't know what was inside the warehouse.
This time, they came to the warehouse where the formation talismans were stored. When Wen Wenhai and the others opened the warehouse, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. Clearly, this warehouse hadn't been visited for a long time. There were several shelves inside, and on top of those shelves, there were some strange metals. In the eyes of ordinary people, these things looked like scribbles. But in Zhao Hai's eyes, they were formation talismans.
Wen Wenhai pointed at the things on the shelves and said, "These things were transported here when the stronghold was first established. At that time, there were two people who knew about formations. They would repair the transmission formation from time to time. But later on, those two people died in battle. Because of this, nobody knows about formations anymore. Although we studied formations in the Sacred Academy, most of us only have a general understanding of formations. We only know how to activate and use formations. Nobody knows how to repair formations. Because of this, nobody came here after the death of those two people."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he walked towards the warehouse. Wen Wenhai followed behind Zhao Hai as they walked towards the warehouse. While walking, he said, "In the past few years, most of the people in the stronghold died because they were guarding the transmission formation. If we weren't afraid of the transmission formation being damaged, then the casualties would be much smaller."
Zhao Hai replied, "Could it be that the transmission formation hasn't been broken in the past few years? I heard that the stronghold has been attacked by wild beasts many times. Did those beasts not destroy the transmission formation even once? "
Wen Wenhai sneered and said, "How is that possible? The headquarters would repair the transmission formations of the strongholds every year. Our stronghold is no exception. Although the twelfth stronghold has been attacked by beasts several times and the transmission formation was destroyed several times, the elders of the headquarters would always drive the beasts away and reactivate the stronghold. Those who are locked up in this stronghold are all troublemakers who have offended others. You should understand now, right?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Zhao Hai nodded, he understood, he understood too well. In fact, for the people of the Sacred Academy, the biggest function of the 12th stronghold wasn't to collect bone beads or herbs. The biggest function of the 12th stronghold was to send troublemakers here and let them die. This was a variant method of eliminating dissidents. But because there was no one in the Anti-Sacred Academy faction, nobody thought about canceling the 12th stronghold. Therefore, the 12th stronghold has always existed and people have always been dying.
At this time, Zhao Hai also understood why there was no commander in the 12th stronghold and why there was no one in the headquarters. For the people in the headquarters, the 12th stronghold was a prison. Moreover, it was a prison where people couldn't escape. Moreover, it was a prison where people killed people for them. For such a prison, having no leader was more beneficial than having one. With a leader, these people could unite and fight against the beasts. Without a leader, these people would become scattered. Therefore, even though they knew that there was no commander, they didn't appoint one.
Wen Wenhai looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Tian, are the talismans still useful? Can they be used to repair the transmission formation?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Not only can we repair transmission formations, but we can also arrange several transmission formations. But I think that these things aren't very safe here. How about we find a place outside the camp and build a secret warehouse. Then we can store some of the formation talismans and dry food there in case of an emergency. If the camp is really breached, then we can take these things out and arrange a transmission formation somewhere else. What do you think?" Zhao Hai smiled and said, "That's right, we can also use these things to arrange a transmission formation somewhere else. What do you think?"
What do you think? "When everyone heard Zhao Hai, their eyes couldn't help but light up. All of their supplies were inside the stronghold. Once they leave the stronghold, they would be left with nothing. When that time comes, even if they want to return to the headquarters, they would have to return to the stronghold.
However, if they put a part of the supplies outside the stronghold, then if the beasts really attacked and they couldn't resist, they would have to retreat from the stronghold. Then they would be able to take out the supplies and set up a transmission formation to go back to the main camp. This way, they would have fewer casualties.
Everyone nodded, then one of them said, "Mister Tian is right. I think that Mister Tian's words are reasonable. We should build a backup warehouse outside the stronghold."
Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and smiled faintly, "Everyone, there's no need to worry. Building a warehouse outside the stronghold isn't something that can be done in a day or two. I think we should solve the problems inside the stronghold first. Like what I said before, we need to make some pots and wine. Even if we build a warehouse outside the stronghold, we can't leave the stronghold and return to the headquarters. So why don't we make our own accommodations better and more comfortable? What does everyone think? "
"Alright, we'll do as Mister says. Mister, we'll do our best to cooperate with you." Several leaders said in unison.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Let's do it this way. Everyone, help me move these talismans outside and clean them up. I'll see if these talismans can be used to make Transmission Formations. Then I'll test them and see if they can be used and if they can't be used. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the talismans are all broken."
Everyone immediately nodded and helped Zhao Hai move the talismans outside the warehouse. Everyone had a smile on their faces. Zhao Hai looked at them and also smiled. When he said that he wanted to test whether these talismans could be used, he wanted to set up several Transmission Formations in order to reassure the people inside the stronghold. After all, he only said that he could set up Transmission Formations, but nobody had seen it. Because of this, Zhao Hai thought of this method. He wanted to test the Transmission Formations and let them know that he could do it. This way, they would be more confident in him. Slowly, they would become accustomed to listening to him. When the time comes, even if he doesn't become the Commander, he would still be able to make the people in the stronghold listen to him. Naturally, if there's an opportunity to be the Commander, he would definitely take it. However, Zhao Hai was very clear that he couldn't rush things, he had to take it step by step.
