Chapter 789: Otaku’s Consciousness
Deep in the desert of the Western Kingdom...
The yellow sand in the sky is like a knife cutting, and the vast rolling sea of dark yellow sand, with sandstorms setting off almost every half an hour, makes this place invisible all day long, like a hell. As long as one stands here for a minute, it will
It will be completely submerged in sand and dust.
The scorching sun radiates its heat unbridled here, giving the violent wind and sand a scorching temperature, just like the red iron filings taken out after being buried in a strong furnace for a while.
Fried eggs are just a trivial matter for these hot sands. They turn the entire desert into a dry furnace without any moisture. Any creature that stays here will be roasted to dryness in a short time.
This is the depths of the desert in the Western Kingdom, a place where life is extinct. Even monsters are unwilling to stay in such a ghostly place.
However, at this time, if you break through the rolling sandstorm, you will be surprised to find that somewhere in the depths, there are more than a dozen pairs of scarlet eyes flashing inside.
They exude a powerful magical aura, blocking the huge sandstorm from the outside world, forming a barrier about a kilometer in diameter. For the depths of the desert that are trembling under the raging wind, dust and sun, it is a calm and peaceful structure.
Inside the world, it is simply like an oasis or paradise in this desert, which makes people feel at ease.
Inside the calm barrier, the figures of the masters with more than a dozen pairs of scarlet eyes gradually became clear, and they turned out to be twelve fallen demon wizards with red bodies, holding ghost-headed staffs, and exuding an extraordinary aura.
The powerful aura emanating from them is definitely not comparable to that of the fallen demon wizard clones in the second world. The real sense of coercion is enough to prove that each of them is genuine.
At this time, the twelve Sinking Demon Wizards put their ghost-headed staffs aside and sat together in a slightly funny posture, with their heads together, studying a crumpled drawing placed in the center, twelve
The red heads were pushed and shoved together, and they could only vaguely see through the gaps what appeared to be a magic circle drawn on the drawing.
They kept mumbling in their mouths, and occasionally they could hear words like Andariel, Belial, and Duriel. They seemed to be arguing about something. However, as the voices gradually decreased, they seemed to have reached an agreement.
They patted their butts and started fighting. They held their own ghost-headed sticks and spread out to the four sides of the barrier. They didn't know what they were messing with...
On the other side, in the room called Alice Hotel, three grown men were still talking.
I was even more worried after receiving incomplete information from Carlos and Seattle. This monster riot was bigger than I thought. Every city was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of monsters, especially
Lu Gaoyin City received even more special care.
Standing on the city wall and looking out, as long as your eyes are sharp enough, well, if you can achieve a lighting range bonus of about 20 points, you can break through the layers of yellow sand and see the unexpected ocean of monsters that are dozens of kilometers away.
Of course, quantity is one aspect. Compared with the situation in Rogge Camp, although the troops here are dispersed, it is not without advantages, and that is the city wall. Compared with the suggested wooden walls made of logs in Rogge Camp,
The walls here have been reinforced countless times by mages. It is estimated that even the blood bear energy cannon cannot destroy them with one blow.
This is a huge advantage, and I heard that each city also has a large magic circle, which can be activated when necessary. Although this huge magic circle, compared with the magic circle of the royal city of the elves, is simply the difference between a giant and a child.
, it’s not as good as Kurast’s defensive magic circle, but at least it has an insurance and it’s absolutely no problem to deal with emergencies.
Then, there is the last line of defense, which is to ask for help from the adventurers in Harrogath when it is really irreversible. I believe those tricks are already ready, waiting for you to come to Lugaoin for a few days and nights.
Masters will never be stingy about showing off their skills in front of younger generations.
With these three lines of defense, I don't worry much about what kind of waves these huge numbers of monsters can hit. There will definitely be sacrifices on the adventurers' side, but with the three lines of defense, they can be well controlled.
Within the acceptable range, it will not cause disastrous consequences like the monster attack on the village eight years ago.
What really worries me is what the leaders behind these monsters, those three cunning demon kings, are planning. Although Akara said that these three guys are heading for the angel tribe's base camp in the third world this time,
There is no smoke without fire. Why didn't monster riots appear in the first world, but did they appear in the second world?
Obviously, even if the real purpose of the three demon kings is to go after those angels, they may not have no idea about the second world. They probably regard the second world as a bowl of vegetable soup. Although it is cheap, it can at least fill the teeth.
Mosquitoes are small and numb.
Although the current situation may be just an impromptu act by the three devils, we cannot help but relax. Don't forget that there is a conspiracy devil among these three devils. Even if it is an impromptu act, if we don't deal with it well, we may end up in trouble.
Tragic end.
"Why are you looking so sad here? According to me, the three of us just go out and kill three times a day. In less than half a month, we can clear out the monsters near a city."
Seattle, this barbarian, carelessly picked his teeth and said dissatisfiedly. His murderous eyes were filled with fighting intent, and he looked like a crazy armored rhinoceros.
After listening to Seattle's heroic speech, Carlos and I couldn't help but give him a look of disdain. This guy is not brainless. On the contrary, he is considered smart among barbarians, but most of the time he prefers to speak with his fists.
"Half a month...after we finish killing this side, the monsters on the other side will be reborn." Carlos reminded the other party coldly.
"Rebirth is rebirth, and the rest will be left to the other little guys. We just need to fight! Fight! Fight! Wahahaha~~~"
The three "battles" in which Seattle was so murderous made Carlos and I sigh deeply.
Sure enough, this warlike guy didn't care at all about the life and death of these five cities and the people in them. He just made soy sauce along the way... Oh, no, he hit people with soy sauce bottles.
We can't expect this guy to be of any help to our operations. Carlos and I looked at each other and decided to kick Seattle away. If it actually likes to fight, we might as well use his strengths to help the defending adventurers relieve their stress.
It’s a good burden.
"Investigating the plan behind the scenes, put it aside for now. The most important thing now is to gather Taba from the Mage Guild, the leader of the alliance, a member of the Dika family, Kane's distant relative Ga En, and the servant
Thackeray, the president of the Soldiers Guild, will first reallocate the adventurers from the five cities and make the most reasonable distribution."
Carlos nodded slightly, while I covered my head and complained.
"Really, that guy from Akala, why do we have to leave the task of organizing the battle to us? Aren't Garn, Taba, and Thackeray from the mercenary union more experienced than us? Let's go.
What’s going on with the use of good talents and the exploitation of the value of our surplus labor?”
I looked at Seattle, who was counting on his fingers how many he killed in a day, how many he reborn in a few days, and how many days it would take him to finish the killing by himself, and then I looked at Carlos, who was smiling slightly.
"I'm sorry, Carlos, you will probably have to complete the tasks assigned by the organization this time. I really don't know anything about this kind of work."
"I reject."
As soon as he finished speaking, Carlos rejected him with a cool smile. The rejection was so refreshing and clear that it took me a long time to react.
"Junior Brother Wu, it seems that you still haven't understood what Elder Akara means."
Facing my puzzled look, Carlos slowly explained.
"Why leave the experienced Ga En and Taba alone and let you take charge? No, I have to say, why should we come over to solve this crisis instead of the more powerful Teacher Kasha and Elder Farah?
Do you know why?"
Having said this, Carlos looked at me deeply and gave me the answer before I could react.
"It's all because of you. In order to train you and establish your prestige, all of this is the painstaking efforts of the Great Elder Akara. I, Seatik, and Sharna are just your shadows."
From his mouth, word by word, he came to a firm conclusion.
"Let's put it this way, if a few years later, the alliance gains the power to compete with the forces of hell and rises up, then you must be the leader. If we successfully defeat the forces of hell, then you must be the biggest leader in the alliance in history.
A hero, surpassing the reputation of the Seven Heroes, becoming a savior respected by people and praised forever."
"..."
It is unimaginable that these words, which can make all men's blood boil with excitement and their fighting spirit, were actually said by Carlos while drinking tea.
What makes it even more unimaginable for me is that I can become the person Carlos said. This kind of thing is like a dream?
Just kidding, I'd rather go home and have the baby.
Looking at Carlos, who was drinking tea, and looking at Seattle, who was twirling his fingers with a focused look on his face, I reluctantly calmed down and forced out a flattering smile.
"Um...two gentlemen, wouldn't you, as men, be moved by the great achievements you have made? Are you willing to just be that shadow? As long as you open your mouth, I promise to give up my position immediately.
Why are you hesitating? Hurry up and speak out loud about the ambition deep in your male soul!!"
I used passionate words that Carlos had not seen just now, and issued the temptation of the devil. When a man is alive, he is nothing more than to make achievements and be famous for generations. This kind of good thing, as long as he is a man, he can't resist it. I'm excited! Hurry up and "
Say it "I do"!!
"I just want to find Angele and be with Kajeel's family of three."
A family man, a man looking for a wife, his daughter controls Carlos said lightly.
"All I need is a fight. Oh, it's best to find a woman who can make wine."
Fighting maniac, alcoholic man Seatock tilted his head and ignored me.
Can I only pin my last hope on Sister Sharna? Thinking about my sister's character, I immediately slumped down like a balloon with a nozzle, and lay limply on the table.
"Junior Brother Wu, work hard. The peace of the mainland and the hope of mankind all fall on you."
Two unscrupulous guys said such irresponsible words with smiles on their faces.
"Just wait for me, I'm going to be the devil!"
After looking at the two of them angrily, I made a feeble protest.
"Junior Brother Wu, I have something else I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter? Just blow it off. I'm responsible for the peace of the mainland and I'm busy."
I lay limply on the table and glanced at Carlos. Seeing his solemn face, I sat up again and said angrily.
"This monster riot mainly involves the Western Kingdom and Rogge Camp. I want to ask you for a task. Can you leave the investigation task at Rogge Camp to me?"
"Oh, can you tell me the reason?"
I looked at Carlos curiously. Although this guy is a serious and loyal paladin, he is not the kind of warm-blooded man who takes the initiative to take on tasks that have nothing to do with him. Now he actually takes the initiative to ask for a job, which really makes me
I can't just nod my head and settle the matter.
Akara unexpectedly handed over the command of this operation to me, so let's make good use of it, and maybe we can get some gossip about Carlos... Ahem, it's military intelligence, it's military intelligence.
"I don't know if you heard from Great Elder Akara. This time the monsters are rioting, the Alliance of the Fallen seems to want to do something small."
To be continued...
