Chapter 844: Dam doubt cloud (3)

"That's really wonderful."
Jackson's brain was spinning rapidly.
"But it will take us many days to get everyone to walk there, and if the green skin finds these tunnels before we cross there..."
The witch smiled, no doubt such a picture had been deduced in her mind.
"The water pipe here is designed and built to supply the entire turbine unit, not to supply water to several faucets in the kitchen. It is at least ten meters wide, otherwise why it needs the assistance of an arcanist. It's difficult to complete."
"But isn't it filled with water now?"
In one word, Jackson broke the obvious flaw of the plan.
The witch nodded.
"That is of course, this is the crux of the problem, but we can drain the water."
She pointed to the dam again.
"Once we open the sluice, the water level of the reservoir will drop rapidly, and the inlet of the water conduit will be exposed within a few hours. I think we can find it without much effort."
Then she shrugged.
"The entire facility was originally designed in this way so that maintenance personnel can access it for routine maintenance."
"It sounds pretty good."
Jackson admitted that he felt confident for the first time since this interim meeting.
"Gentlemen, I think I have an idea."
The plan still looked good the next morning, although Jackson was paranoid about what was missing and wanted to find out the flaws.
There was only one thing he could think of, and he told Elena while having breakfast.
"This valley is a dead end."
He pointed out so.
"If the green skin finds us before we are ready to enter the aqueduct, we will be trapped inside."
"Indeed it is."
She chewed the toast in contemplation, and then used her hand to pick up another slice from Jackson's plate.
Her body became very plump, and the meat had grown in the right place, but she still hadn’t got rid of the habit of not letting off any meal opportunities. The wizard was able to get priority food rations, and the woman who didn’t see her age seemed to have There is no humility.
"But we only need to resist them for a little while, and the terrain there is very beneficial to us."
Like others in the army, she also had a deep understanding of combat knowledge in actual infantry combat.
Jackson nodded and agreed.
"This is not my main concern, assuming they follow us, or just inject water into the aqueduct, what should we do?"
"Then blow up the tunnel behind us."
She said, holding up the teacup.
"By the time they dig up the gravel, we would have gone far away, and if we broke the sluice before we left, they would not be able to raise the water level to drown us."
"This is a good idea."
They have enough explosives to do the job neatly, so Jackson feels that this is not difficult.
Now that the last problem has been solved, he even looks forward to this adventure.
"Unfortunately, we can't hide from admiring the irritated expression on Guck's face when he realized we had escaped."
Jackson, who was in high spirits, began to organize the evacuation of the troops. He left a small number of the rear troops disguised as still insisting.
These soldiers are all willing to fight to the last moment. They have a hatred with Ouke and would rather die than retreat.
After organizing two offensives, Oaker apparently planned to use the hunger to force the defenders out, so nothing seemed to happen.
Indeed, the defenders of Mount Mihir had to conquer the scattered forces, but Jackson was happy to let the matter be handled by his subordinates.
When he came out of the underground bunker that had been staying for a long time, seize the time to enjoy the fresh air of dawn.
It’s still dark, but it’s not that you can’t reach with your fingers. On the contrary, it’s a bright day and night.
Elena’s plan will allow everyone to bypass the main throat, but they are still easily ambushed when they are traveling in the mountains, so most of the time, everyone moves silently.
The Eighty Thousand Army quietly withdrew through the gap left by Ok, orderly withdrawing from the bunker of Mihir Hill.
During this process, things went very smoothly, unless the scouts and several food-seeking companions exchanged fire with the outlying green skin. When Jackson arrived at the scene, the battle was over, and no green skin was alive. Run away.
In the process, he found himself passing through the long narrow valley leading to the dam.
The scenery in the mountains is more desolate than what is seen on the screen, but it is still very spectacular.
The towering peaks kept approaching them, and the snow covering the top made the witch fascinated, but the trip would soon disappoint her. The destination was located below the snow line, and the other end of the aqueduct was nearly a kilometer below. Below the water level.
On the roadside, the small stream flowing from the front dam sluice rushed on the wide canal, and a series of splashes were raised, making a loud noise, and the dense bushes stained the sides of the valley with mottled brown and green, Occasionally there will be bright yellow and purple mixed in between.
The dam enveloped everything around it. A huge plain gray rock wall spanned the valley ahead. It was like a perimeter defensive wall that guarded the fortress. Jackson tried not to think about the huge amount of water it blocked.
Reason told him that it had been there for more than ten years, but he couldn't help thinking about what it would feel like if the dam suddenly collapsed.
"How did you learn so much about this place?"
Jackson suddenly asked the witch around her, and when she answered, her voice was still as pleasant as usual.
"This is one of the greatest miracles in this world."
She said:
"Every sorcerer knows about it. Do you know the Aswan Fortress? The dam was originally named Aswan, but everything ended because of the Arcanist's rebellion."
"Then we are so lucky."
Jackson said dryly that the name Aswan seemed to him to be unlucky.
The witch smiled.
"Even if you leave all the legends of the dam, it is still so charming and so old.
"What do you mean?"
"That was a long time ago when the dam was not completed~EbookFREE.me~The history of the Aswan dam existed much earlier than the history of the empire, everything that was built was built on some ancient ruins of."
"You mean... this dam."
The dam clearly bears traces of artificial construction. Jackson still has a hard time believing this fact.
Somehow, the huge wall seems to have stood there since the world was born.
The witch nodded.
"It happened thousands of years ago, otherwise how do you think it was called this name at first?"
"So what is it called?"
Jackson tried to suppress the ominous premonition that had sprung up in his heart.
Elena, with a tone of prank she is accustomed to, said cheerfully:
"Demon Valley."
