“Old King??”
The incident with the Old King is a memory that Han Dong can never erase.
Although the Old King of the time was driven away by the Death God.
But it was based on the fact that the Death God himself was at his zenith, the territory was at the gates of the Holy City, and several eager regiment leaders were present at the gate. Plus, the troops of the entire Holy City were ready to be deployed at any time.
Delving into the area of the Old King would be a different story.
“Not all of the Old Kings, just a single one with a lower rank.
...
Of course…the whole process will be extremely difficult, and it will be the first time in human history that a formal conquest has been launched against an Old King.
This is the ultimate goal of the Big Expedition.
Of course, the Big Expedition will not be completed all at once, it will be conducted in stages, with corresponding goals for each stage.
If the ‘First Phase’ is completed and the overall conditions of the expeditionary force do not meet the pre-set standards for the ‘Second Phase’, the entire expedition will end immediately.
If we can defeat an Old King outright, it would be of great significance for the Holy City and the whole world.
It would also become one of the most important milestones in human history, a crucial step in our efforts to reclaim our lost territories.”
“Hmm…” Han Dong could understand, and the significance of an Old King’s downfall was far beyond what Mr. Black White had just mentioned. It had tremendous significance for the whole of human civilization.
“For now, just focus on your own business…if you need to use the Stargazing Room for training or study, you can come over at any time.”
“Hmm.”
…
Han Dong was neither a council member nor a leader of the Knight Brigade, so he had no need to worry about these things.
He just needed to do his own job well.
Next, he would have to do something very important.
Taking advantage of ample time today, Han Dong immediately took Mr. Black White’s carriage to the outskirts of the city… Since he was planning to return the same day, he didn’t call for Dumps.
It was better to invite these buddies after they all passed the True Fate realm.
The moment the carriage left the city gate.
The sky darkened quickly, replaced by the Eternal Night.
Han Dong held the glass bottle at the car window, so that Professor West could see these sights he had never seen before.
Trees with suction cup structures, evil creatures lurking among the forests, wild monsters, or a few heretics conducting strange rituals in the forest.
“It’s incredible…”
Professor West extended a finger from the bottom of his neck, gently pushing his glasses frame, eager to study these strange life forms he had never seen before.
Accompanied by a crow’s cry.
We arrived at Han Dong’s territory, Stuart Manor.
All is well inside the manor, which is jointly managed by the Crowman tribe and Dr. Swollen. Its overall strength has increased more than tenfold since the time when it was managed by the Giant Ghoul Lord Stuart, so no fools would dare to cause trouble here.
“Congratulations to Lord Nicholas for reaching a new height.”
The welcoming Crowman Elders could also perceive Han Dong’s uniqueness through the eyes hidden beneath their crow feathers.
Whether it was his body, the necklace, or the aura emanating from his skull, everything had changed… The Crowmen were more determined than ever to follow Han Dong.
“Milord, your room is cleaned daily, and currently, a humanoid female Crowman is waiting at the door, ready to serve you for the next few days.”
Han Dong waved his hand quickly, “That won’t be necessary… I have to go back tonight. I came today mainly to discuss something with the doctor.”
“Alright, is there anything you need us Crowmen to do for you, Lord?”
All this time, aside from launching one war over land deeds against Scarlet Manor, Han Dong has not ordered any major action.
“No, but you guys should be prepared… The Great Expedition of the Holy City is imminent, may be ready within a year.
I will be part of it, and I will need your help when the time comes.
The only thing I need you guys to do is to have more elite Crowman troops and a mature Crowman Great Elder ready when the Great Expedition begins.”
“Alright.”
Having briefly explained some necessary matters.
Han Dong immediately went to the familiar underground experimental area via the secret passage and found that there had been quite a few changes in the experimental area.
Various connection devices in the incubator have been equipped with various gears and steam structures, which further perfect the breeding process of Ghoul infants, optimize parameters, and increase the proportion of high-quality culture bodies.
This is obviously the result of cooperating with the Gold Master.
During the time that Han Dong was in the Fate Space, Doctor Swollen has improved the installation of automated devices on his own.
As Han Dong arrived at the core laboratory.
The Doctor, taking advantage of his leisure time, was lying on a metal experimental table, sleeping.
Next to the bed, a matron brought out from Strange Tales was using a high-precision water gun with micron accuracy to help the Doctor clean his brain grooves and convolutions.
Seeing Han Dong’s arrival, the matron quickly explained:
“Sir, a while ago a group of odd Knights, primarily of mechanical nature, came here, bringing a lot of high-quality materials. The Doctor spent a whole four days and nights upgrading the lab.
He is currently in a deep sleep, and I am helping him clean the metabolic substances formed in his brain.”
“It’s okay.”
Han Dong was going to let Dr. Swollen sleep a while longer and let Professor West tour around first.
Who knew, as soon as Han Dong approached.
The moment the Doctor smelled his presence, he immediately woke up from deep sleep, put on his skull cap, and knelt in front of Han Dong on one knee.
“Doctor, don’t be so polite… I saw all the changes in the lab, and you’ve worked hard. Did the Steam Knights interfere with any experiments here?”
“No,
those who brought the materials were a group of deeply mechanized humans shrouded in odd robes… they were hardly human. After they delivered the materials, they would wipe their memories in front of me.
A very reliable collaborator.”
“Hmm, it seems I need to make time to see Mr. Newton and the Gold Master, I can’t just take their money without doing anything… Doctor, this time I came because of one thing.”
Han Dong took out the skull of Professor Herbert West from his backpack as he spoke.
“This is Professor Herbert West whom I met in the Fate Space. He has deep insights into the field of human chemistry… I hope you two can cooperate and jointly manage the Ghoul Lab at Stuart Manor and the Hybrid Lab at Scarlet Manor.
Of course, your research topics are different.
Professor West will act as your assistant in the early stage and will intern for a month.
After a month, I will try to expand the lab as much as possible and conduct deeper experiments.”
“I look forward to our cooperation.”
Like attracts like.
The moment Professor West made eye contact with Dr. Swollen, flashes of scientific interest sparked between them.
And, Professor West’s character is relatively weak, Han Dong has also given a definition of an internship and the role of an assistant in advance, they should be able to get along harmoniously.
What do you think?
