After a moment of hesitation, Jenny took out a scroll with a map of Meereen on it and spread it out on the table. Her slender fingers slid along the red line on the map and said, "This is the general direction of the tunnel."
"Why did it take such a long detour?" The Kaiyuan Wargod frowned.
The alliance army set up camp at the north gate of Meereen City. The tunnel started at the base of the camp and went east for about five kilometers, then south through the bottom of the river, until it reached about fifteen kilometers to the northeast of Meereen City. Finally, after a series of twists and turns, it barely reached the outer wall of Meereen City. It was about two hundred meters away from the wall.
The camp was clearly ten kilometers north of Meereen City, but the tunnel did not go in a straight line. Instead, it went in a circle to the south of Meereen City.
The dwarf stood on his tiptoes and carefully recorded the route on the map.
Like everyone else, he was also puzzled.
Suddenly, he remembered what he saw on the way out of Meereen City: a large paddy field in the north of the city.
Even today, the ground in the north of the city was still wet and soft. Warhorses left deep hoofprints as they passed, and shallow puddles of water seeped out of the prints.
Moreover, there were ravines near the paddy fields, and lakes of all sizes could be seen everywhere.
When he crossed the ditch, he deliberately fell off his horse and caught a cold. The cold made his voice hoarse.
"I see. Dragon Worms must avoid underground rivers! The terrain north of Meereen is lower, so there is no need to divert water from the river. There is naturally water, so the Gith people planted rice in the north of the city.
The terrain south of the city is higher, mostly low hills, which are more suitable for wheat and soybeans. "
The dwarf clapped his hands and suddenly understood.
Jenny, the Wargod, the Triangular-Faced Wargod, and even the dwarf's new father turned to look at him in surprise.
Damn, I'm exposed. I'm not the intelligent little demon, but the stupid fourth prince of Koh Chang Island.
With this thought, the dwarf naturally raised his chin slightly and looked at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, revealing an extremely exaggerated smile.
"Not bad, Leo. You're finally enlightened!" The new father's puzzlement turned into joy.
"Uncle, I've always been smart, but there is no place for me to use my talents!" The dwarf's expression became even more smug. "Why don't you let me take the lead tomorrow? I want to be the first to rush into Meereen City. I want to have a one-on-one duel with Danny Rize!"
The bewilderment in the eyes of the God of War and the triangular-faced man turned into faint disdain: Even a fool can get something out of a thousand thoughts!
"Ahem." The long-nosed king waved his hand awkwardly. "Don't mess around. You're my lieutenant. Of course you have to follow me."
The Kaiyuan War God no longer looked at the dwarf. He pointed to the north of Meereen City and asked, "Since we've already dug to the south gate, why don't we follow the city walls all the way to the north? The Great Pyramid is also in the north! "
"I would like to continue digging."
"What do you mean?" Glasz was puzzled.
"The Dragon Worm only approached the south of the city last night, and the war broke out this morning."
War God was enlightened and sighed: "As expected, Danny Lisi had already guessed that there were dragon worms underground and had been using some sort of method to check the situation underground.
She must have sensed that the Dragonworms were approaching Meereen, so she chose to launch the final battle today. "
"It seems like that is the case." Jenny's face was filled with helplessness.
"How does she monitor the underground?" Triangle Face asked curiously.
She buried them in the water tank!
The dwarf remembered that when he was lying on the operating table, he heard the Dragon Queen tell Yimont that she wanted to select the people with the best ears from the millions of soldiers and soldiers and set up underground monitoring stations around Meereen.
.....
Danny's methods were not as passive as burying them in the water tank.
She had been drawing a map of the underground water distribution in Meereen City and could roughly determine the location of the Dragon Worm's excavation — the place with the least underground water and the driest soil.
Then, she would dig a deep pit based on the possible location of the Dragon Worm's burrow. It would be best if she could dig through the surface and reach the Dragon Worm's burrow.
Even if she could not dig through the burrow, she could bury a water tank in the deep pit so that the person with the best hearing could monitor the underground movement 24 hours a day.
Even without the dwarf's message, she could roughly figure out the approximate location of the tunnel.
At first, she really planned to beat the Dragon Worm at its own game, as the War God had feared — to pour the river into the tunnel.
But recently, there were three major accidents while the Dragon Worm was digging the tunnel.
Meereen was close to the sea, and the underground water was too abundant. When the Dragon Worm was digging towards Meereen City, it accidentally drilled through the underground river, causing the underground water to flow backwards, freezing and drowning five Dragon Worms.
Those were five adult Dragon Worms, and the commotion caused by their near-death struggles was too big, scaring Danny who had rushed over to listen in after receiving the news.
"Is it Godzilla or Dragon Worm?!" At that time, the Dragon Queen's face had turned pale.
So, she decided not to take the risk, and took the initiative to initiate the final battle before the Dragon Worm dug to Meereen City.
To put it bluntly, although the Allied Army was besieging her, the initiative of the war had always been in her hands.
.....
Sigh, he really was not the only person the Dragon Queen could rely on. He did not know how much she had prepared for this battle in Meereen.
The dwarf was a little disappointed, it seemed that he had never been able to play a decisive role on the Dragon Queen's side.
Just like the War of the Four Kings, when he was the Hand of the King at the King's Landing, he was indispensable to turn the tide and save the building from collapse.
Being the nameless Prime Minister by King Aegon's side also gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
Aegon relied on him, trusted him, and all his plans, big and small, had to go through him. He also did his best to help Aegon build the glorious True Dragon Alliance from scratch …
Sigh, if not for that bitch Sansa interfering in politics in the harem, he would have already entered the Prime Minister's Tower in the Red Fort!
(Ugh, the Prime Minister's Tower was burned down by his bitch sister with wildfire, and now the Red Fort no longer has a Prime Minister's Tower.)
But in Slaver's Bay, by the Dragon Queen's side, he was always assigned strange tasks by the Dragon Queen, researching wildfire, riding on dragons to throw bombs, being a space pirate to rob the Allied Army's cargo ships, and now he was a "faceless person" in the Allied Army's camp, this …
This was not the treatment a Prime Minister's aide should receive!
Aside from feeling disappointed, the dwarf was also dissatisfied.
But touching his big nose, the dissatisfaction and disappointment in his heart all turned into helplessness: he did not complete his undercover mission this time. Although there were undeniable factors, with the Dragon Queen's personality, she would most likely punish him.
So, he had to do something!
"It must be a spy," the dwarf swore. "Danny Rize's spy is in the tunnel, and the spy is constantly reporting the progress of the tunnel to her, which is why today's battle happened."
"Don't talk nonsense!" The long-nosed king angrily interrupted the illegitimate son. "Only you, me, and Lady Jenny go in and out of the tunnel. Who is the spy?"
"I have never been out of the tunnel before," the dwarf hurriedly said.
"Bastard, are you saying that I —" the long-nosed king looked around, and it seemed that everyone was looking at him suspiciously. His big nose was red with anger.
This stupid bastard!
"There is no spy!" Jenny's words cleared the strange atmosphere and said calmly, "There is no problem with the long-nosed king, and there is also no problem with Leo. The problem does not lie with us. It must be Danny Rize's special method."
"Yes, yes, yes!" the long-nosed king wiped the sweat from his forehead and agreed.
After looking at each other awkwardly, the triangular-faced Siberio asked doubtfully, "Are the dragon worms' requirements for the environment so strict?"
Jenny said helplessly, "Dragon worms like to move around in volcanoes and are actually not suitable for fighting on plains. The cold underground water is like poison to them."
"Then how did they cross the sea?" the dwarf asked curiously.
"Dragon worms can't swim, right? I once read in an ancient book that dragon worms almost die upon contact with water. "
At this point, the Kai Yuan Wargod looked at Jenny with a hint of complaint in his eyes. "There should be a tunnel between Long Summer and Meereen. Lord Priest, you should've revealed this secret earlier and let the logistics team use the secret tunnel. That would've reduced unnecessary losses."
"There is no tunnel." Jenny shook her head. "There are volcanoes under the Smoke Sea, and they are also under high level magic radiation. After hundreds of years, the dragon worms that could only drill into the ground have evolved the ability to move freely in hot seawater."
The dwarf's heart skipped a beat, and he said expectantly, "I heard that there are many sea monsters in the Smoke Sea. Our navy just lost a battle. Perhaps we can subdue a group of sea monsters to fill in the navy?"
"The sea monsters in the Smoke Sea are also mutated species under the magic radiation. There are indeed many of them.
But to the Megalosaurus, sea monsters are food.
Other than filling the stomachs of Danny and Megalosaurus, they can't help at all. "
"That's really …"
Thinking about how he and Aegon were scared out of their wits by You Lun's sea monsters, the dwarf felt awkward and dejected.
"Since dragon worms can cross the sea, why are they afraid of underground water?" the Kaiyuan Wargod asked, confused.
"What do you think I built the Magic Tower for? Just to suppress the transmission of information on Dragonstone Island's magic network? "Jenny said calmly.
"The Magic Tower can help dragon worms cross the sea?" the dwarf said in shock.
"If a person who has just filled his stomach and a starving person are sent naked into a world of ice and snow, who will freeze to death first?"
"A person with a full stomach can even last until the next hunger comes," the dwarf said thoughtfully.
Jenny nodded. "Before leaving the Smoke Sea, I used the Magic Tower to replenish a large amount of fire magic power for each dragon worm.
Fortunately, the Smoke Sea is just next to Slave Bay, so the dragon worms swam ashore before they ran out of magic power. "
"There's something else. Did you notice?" After a pause, Jenny said, "The temperature is much lower than a month ago. Low temperatures and icy water are the dragon worms' greatest enemies."
"That's strange!" Grazidan stroked his beard and said in confusion, "I've lived in Slave Bay for most of my life, and I've never seen winter as cold as this.
In fact, the three cities of Slave Bay have never had winter.
In the past, even if it snowed in the north, we still wore silk clothes and sandals. "
"I heard that the long night is coming. Is it true?" the dwarf said in surprise.
"The long night …" Grazidan turned to Jenny. "My lady, what do you think?"
What could he think? The sheep eggs had never experienced the long night!
Valleglia rose to power six thousand years ago. In other words, when the sheep eggs were born, the long night had already passed for two thousand years.
"The long night has nothing to do with us," Jenny said ambiguously.
The sheep eggs knew that the first long night was real, and that the second long night would come. However, they were sealed under the Smoke Sea and did not sense the changes in the north of the Great Wall.
Moreover, as Jenny said, what did the long night have to do with Valleglia's descendants?
The land of the Long Summer where they lived was shrouded in a layer of high-energy radiation fog. There was no sunlight at all, and the environment was ten times worse than the long night.
Jenny emphasized, "Our target now is Danny Rize! Tomorrow morning, even if we lose a few dragon worms, I will break through the north and south gates of Meereen.
The elephant soldiers will enter the south gate through the insect path, and the army of one hundred and fifty thousand will enter from the north gate. We will attack from the north and south, and we will break through Meereen! "
"Attack from the north and south, we will break through Meereen!" The dwarf's face turned red as he waved his fist and shouted.
