Section 177 Introduction
Introduction to Section 177
Although it has been a queen for many years, this is indeed the first time that the little girl has spoken face to face with the high priest of the Hawk City. In fact, this is the first time that the church priests took the initiative to ask for the queen. As people know, when Byron was in power, the little queen was equivalent to a human-shaped stamp. It is normal to meet in public places such as religious rituals, but it is never before that they have ever been together in a room and secret conversation.
This priest was a middle-aged man with no distinctive appearance, with a square face. At a rough look, he looked no different from the barbecue vendor on the roadside. At this moment, the priest's face was frowning and worried.
"As it...is it true?"
"According to the information, this should be true. This attack by the evil god believers... is by no means a purposeless attack, but a real large-scale invasion. It is a prepared, premeditated, and purposeful total war."
The church has much more things to master than the little queen. This is because the church has long noticed the movements on the northern border and has sent a lot of manpower to join in.
At least the church has figured out the direction of Rafa, or what happened to Rafa during this period. In the south, Byron launched a coup, and then fought with the little queen, fighting fiercely with the Cold War, the hot war and intelligence war. In the north, Rafa, one of the qualified fighters, had no sound at all - even a fool could detect something wrong.
Things are very simple and not simple: the believers of the evil gods penetrated into Rafa. These cultists used evil magic to confuse the minds of the veteran and his several major subordinates, making him confused and unconciled. According to the high priest, it is also a puppet with a firm mind, otherwise they would have become puppets that could be controlled by others. Finally, when the army that believed in the evil gods began to formally invade, the priests of the church finally found ways to meet Rafa - the evil god wizards who tried to control Rafa gave up this effort. Of course, it was too late at this time.
There is no doubt that for these people, the best result is to manipulate and control Rafa. Although they did not achieve the most ideal goal, they also successfully made Groney's defense line dull and weak. The troops fought on their own and were at an overwhelming disadvantage in front of the invaders. In the end, they had to rely on the city to defend.
In fact, this is a matter of simplicity. Before the barbarians invaded, they used all kinds of evil witchcraft to influence the lord or general, which was no longer news. Although Rafa was the highest-influenced general so far, the matter itself was not out of control.
In the north of Groney, at least three lines of defense were arranged, a line of defense composed of steel, magic, guns and cold and solid castles. Although the first line of defense, the most solid and front-line White Fort has been occupied by Chaos and has become the front-line base for Chaos to invade, it is still very difficult to break through the remaining two lines of defense. The solid walls and towering fortresses protect the southern kingdoms and block the invasion of the barbarians. To capture these castles and open gaps in the defense line, it will either cost huge casualties or consume enough time. Both of these are the weaknesses of the invaders. The huge casualties will make their next invasion weak, and time will allow the southerners who believe in the gods of the Star Domain to form a powerful coalition to counterattack.
The last invasion was a typical example of war. During the last invasion, although the evil gods believed in the White Fort and killed the former King Groni on the battlefield, they still wasted too much time when trying to break through the defense line, allowing the seven countries to form a powerful coalition and defeat the invaders with their superior forces.
In other words, as long as those Chaos wizards did not allow Rafa to turn against him, the whole situation would not be worse than the last invasion. If Rafa could allow Rafa to turn against him, it would be beyond the ability of several evil god wizards. Even if Rafa was controlled and did so, his subordinates would not obey.
But this time, in addition to using evil magic to control Rafa, the invading evil god army also has its own tricks, the real tricks.
"...Is that rumor... true?" asked the little girl.
"Although it's incredible, it's true." The priest replied. "The believers of the evil gods have mastered a kind of filthy and evil power that can spread diseases in a short time. These diseases were induced by magic at the beginning, but they can quickly break away from the category of 'magic' and become real diseases. The only solution at present is to expel magic when it is still in 'magic' state. However, this is very efficient. A magician can drive away no more than a hundred people in a day. Once the magic curse becomes a real disease... it can only be treated with ordinary healing methods."
"How is the effect? I mean the power of that magic?"
"It's very terrible. A single disease itself is not a dangerous and fatal terminal illness, but when the disease is combined with the enemy... it becomes uncontrollable. There has been an example of a small castle being captured. Although the castle is small, it is a solid fortress that has persisted in the last major invasion. This time, even the cult's vanguard troops could not survive. According to the information obtained, it was a completely one-sided massacre. The enemy easily climbed the city wall with a hook rope, and then easily slaughtered the defenders who were unable to operate due to fever."
The high priest sighed. "I have reported this situation to the Holy City Oren, but the Archbishop... has no reply yet. I'm afraid there will be no way to solve this problem in a short time."
"I want to ask, what would happen if it were those big cities or castles...?"
"We must use the Demon Breaking Scroll to drive out the magic effect." The High Priest smiled, his smile a little stiff. "According to the current preliminary estimate, it should only take one or two days for the enemy to launch a curse. In other words, each Demon Breaking Scroll can earn one or two days. When the Demon Breaking Scroll is used up, then the situation... this is only an estimate."
...
"This violates our agreement!" When he spoke, Luo Jin's anger was almost unable to be curbed. He was only a little short, only a little short. Such a perfect experimental condition was destroyed in a flash. "Sagas, you said that the Lord of Blood Tooth will wait for me!"
"I haven't said that, I just said I will try my best to get time." The Tsengchi wizard standing on the flying saucer carefully kept the distance between them. "But it's obvious that I didn't get enough time."
"The war has begun, and I..."
"The Lord of Blood Tooth can't wait." Sagas twisted his beard with his hand. "His desire for blood has exceeded his caution. Well, I admit that the believers of terror may not know how to write the word caution... but no matter what, the war has begun, and now you have no time to continue experimenting."
"I only need three days... This was the best test site. Then those terrifying madmen killed all my experimental materials!" Luo Jin's face swollen from anger, and dark green liquid dripped from the corner of his clothes. "You told those madmen that I was here, right?"
"You misunderstood..." The UFO at Sagas's feet retreated for a short distance. "This is not my intention, but the Lord of Blood Tooth is our boss, and I cannot resist his orders. He asked me where you are and what you are doing, what do you call me? I cannot lie, it violates my principles."
A Tsengchi wizard actually said that he was not lying, which was as ridiculous as a wolf who declared that he had grown up with a vegetarian diet. But Luo Jin was helpless at the moment. If he had the chance, he would be very happy to turn Sagas into a mass of flesh and blood mixed with pus. The problem was to find the loopholes of Tsengchi wizard - any Tsengchi wizard -... There were really not many opportunities like this. At least it was definitely not at the moment.
"I have a suggestion, do you want to listen?" said Tsengchi Wizard.
Tsengchi's suggestion has never been good, but Luo Jin has no other choice at the moment, just listen.
"According to me, you'd better teach the Lord Blood Tooth to let them know that your power is indispensable. For those madmen who are terrified, otherwise they will probably not be able to wake up from this. Look, if you use new spells to fight them now... it will only make them proud and even more arrogant."
"Hmph, you're just threading needles in the middle!"
"Ah, you misunderstood me." Sagas said calmly. "I said that I just completed the order of Lord Blood Tooth. If you want to be angry, you will find the wrong person you are angry."
"For this period of time, I have been working hard to study and experiment in big cities and small villages. Now, when I am only one step away from success, I am interrupted by you..."
"Oh, you don't have to be so angry, I'm sure you will have a lot of opportunities."
"There are not many opportunities like this at the beginning of the war! Such a closed, crowded castle without the guardians...is there still such a good goal?"
"This is indeed the case on the front line... but, dear Luo Jin, don't forget... there are many such opportunities within the enemy's territory!"
"They will be more alert, how could I come and go as freely as I am now. Unless you give me your flying saucer!"
"Oh, I hope so too." Sagas made an apology move. "But unfortunately, it was beyond my ability. But I would rather use a suggestion instead."
"What suggestions?" Luo Jin looked at the other party viciously. Unfortunately, Tsengchi's wizard defended very closely. If both sides broke up and took action, even if Sagas couldn't win, he could at least escape unscathed.
"How about a guard? Guards who are much stronger than your servants. Oh, I have no insult. Although Nurgle's warriors are powerful, they are easily exposed, and fewer people cannot guarantee safety."
"Guard?" Luo Jin was so angry. "You asked me to take a terrifying madman deep into the enemy's territory to conduct my experiments? Then you might as well let me hang a big sign on my body and parade the streets."
"Ah, you misunderstood." Sagas replied. "Of course, the ordinary terror warriors cannot do it. You need strong, faithful, obey orders, especially guards who can sacrifice themselves to save at critical moments. Do you think there are such people under the Lord of Blood Tooth? They are all bloodthirsty guys, and they think about using blood to glorify their blood god every day."
"What does it mean?" Luo Jin thought at first that Sagas would recommend a team of Tsengqi warriors, but from the tone, it seemed that this was not the case. "Absolutely faithful?"
"I can recommend one." Sagas chuckled. "A guard who is absolutely reliable... and powerful enough to fight a thousand. In particular, it can... absolutely under your control."
