vs 36 The nature of evil powers?
Sheila Marne did not pay no attention to the gazes that fell on her, and continued:
"Two months... I said two months is a conservative estimate, in fact, maybe not even a month, isn't it worth one to two months in exchange for a Herion City?" Sira Marne looked at Morinda, "The purpose of your plan is to end the war as soon as possible, but it's only two months, and two months is a short time for this battle against the Undead Legion. โ
Syrah-Marne's gaze turned to Drahir as she spoke, "The elves have always emphasized that the most important point in fighting the undead legion is to be stable, and our current established battle plan should be the most cautious and stable... I really don't understand, why take the risk?"
"Sir Marne. Morinda rarely argues with Sirah-Marne about a certain matter, his tone is not aggressive, and his wrinkled face shows a consultative countenance, "It is impossible for the city of Herien to hold out for two months, and the determination of the undead to take the city of Herien is stronger than you think." โ
"Because of this blockade," the old orc pointed to the narrow blockade to the south of the Herionian Realm, "We don't know what's going on inside the Undead Legion, and all the scouts are gone... With the resources in the hands of the undead legion now, according to the estimation of the staff office, the other party is fully capable of organizing a more powerful undead creature of tens of thousands of scales, but the army we encountered is not strong, why?"
Morinda pointed his withered finger at the city of Herion on the map, "This is the goal of the undead army from the beginning...", he looked at Sir Sera Marne, "Sir Marne, I'm sure you must have studied your opponent as well, the commander of this undead legion, Udi Kubo, a man who once lost everything in Herion City, will he let go of the golden opportunity to take Herion City?"
"I know what you're trying to say, you want to tell me that Udi Cooper's elite are all staying to attack the city of Herion. Sira Marne seemed very calm, she didn't mean to compete with Morinda, "But even so, directly destroy a city..."She shook her head, "Herion City is a huge city that can accommodate more than 600,000 people, and it took the people of Harrence Highlands more than two hundred years to build this city!"
"The Sacred Glory Theater, churches, Prime Minister's Residence, Victory Square, and many more of the most precious buildings of humanity in Sukh City have been destroyed by the wreaking havoc of the Undead Legion, not to mention the city of Herion. Cowlir was no longer silent, he looked around at the officers, "It is impossible for Herien City to hold out for two months, even if we launch a strong attack from the front to contain the main force of the undead legion... The chances are slim to none. โ
The old mage looked at Sira Marne, "None of us want to end up with a ruined city after a few months of fighting... We had long ago discussed the plan to destroy the city of Heriron, and I remember that Sir Marne agreed to it. โ
"Yes, but what we meant by destruction was just destroying the city's defenses so that our subsequent attacks would be easier. Sirah Marne shook her head, "And now your plan is to wipe out the existence of Herien City directly from the map!"
"I've warned a long time ago that if you let the Undead Legion gain a foothold, it's hard to defeat them again, and the current state of Cullen is the best proof of that. Drahir immediately said, "This is the main reason why he launched an attack on the Herion Leader ten days ago. โ
"Our original plan was to break through the blockade of the Undead Legion within half a month, and try to quell this unrest before the Undead Legion captured the city of Herion. However, after we fought this undead army, we found that we had no way to destroy it in a short time, and we had a preliminary plan to destroy the city of Herion. โ
The elven advisor sighed helplessly and whispered: "Now, half a month has passed in a flash, the strength of the undead legion is growing day by day, and our main army is still hovering outside the blockade of the undead legion in the southern region of the Herion Command. โ
Baron Hannina then said, "Most of the citizens of Herien City have long since retreated to the Northern Pass area to build a defensive line, and there are only a few old men and a garrison in the city. Her language was cold and cruel, but more calm, "An empty city doesn't mean much to the kingdom, if you can use this city to wipe out the undead legions in the kingdom in exchange for victory in this war... It's undoubtedly a good deal. โ
In the midst of the ministers' discussions, the various corps commanders also gave up their arguments, and as the ministers discussed, they also thought more rationally about the significance of using the city of Herion as bait to destroy the undead legion for this stalemate war.
After the ministers stopped arguing, the Duru Knight couldn't help but say, "Most of the people of Heryon have become undead in this turmoil... I have experienced how the living of a village can become slaves to their enemies under the influence of the inhabited!"
"This damn war, the goddess shouldn't have allowed this evil creature to exist. Knight Duru probably thought of some not so good picture, and couldn't help but curse in his mouth, and then raised his head and looked very seriously at the king who was leaning back in his chair and quietly listening to the arguments, "You should let these monsters scream in the flames, I believe that the heroic spirits of the Herians also want to be freed in the city they have built." โ
"I agree to blow up the city of Hrynn!" said Knight Duru changed his mind.
The knight's speech made all the commanders involved in the front-line combat subconsciously recall some unpleasant pictures they had seen before.
"I agree. The commander of the Heavy Cavalry Corps, Wren, followed suit and gave his opinion, the first time he had taken a stand on such an occasion, and was still against his old boss, Sira Marne.
"I agree in principle. "It's fine to blow up these monsters, but only if your plan actually succeeds." โ
"Agreed!"
โ...โ
"Wellโ" Pedy straightened up and made a deliberate noise after most of the corps commanders had said this, and when all eyes were on him, he looked at Sir Seren-Marne and asked, "Sir Marne, what are you worried about?"
"I'm not against this plan. Sira Marne bowed slightly, "I just think that with the current capabilities of the kingdom, there is a way to destroy this army of the undead without destroying the city of Herion. โ
Hearing this, Cowlier immediately smiled and said: "Sir Marne, you should go to the Prime Minister's Government and work with Sir Bipp on government papers for two months, after two months you will not have such thoughts... The money and supplies consumed by the ongoing war are a headache for all government officials, and your warrant for food and grass requires hundreds of officials to work together, and then tens of thousands of laborers to reach the front line. โ
As the army commander of the richest kingdom in the entire continent, Sira Marne really never had a headache because of logistical problems, which made her subconsciously ignore the material problem of fighting a war.
"Since you don't object," Pedi stood up and looked around at the crowd, intending to end the meeting that had been going on for too long, "and you'll be in charge of the plan." He gave an order directly to Sira Marne, "My opinion is that it is necessary to directly destroy the evil altar in Sesca Village and lift the spatial blockade of the undead legion, rather than relying on the assistance of the Duchy of Twak. โ
On the 25th, the fighting in the Herion Territory was still as fierce as it had been for the past three days.
The Krulian army, led by its king, attacked the undead army's blockade in the southeast of the Herion territory day and night, trying to open the passage from the kingdom to the city of Herion.
Pedi went to the battlefield today, as he had done in the past, comforting the souls with the most swift attacks.
By noon, the Ninth Corps under the command of Pei Di had advanced nearly twenty miles to the village on the commercial road.
From a long distance, it was a large village, but in fact the village had long since been in ruins by the ravages of the undead legions. In the past few days, the troops have advanced and seen countless abandoned villages like the current one that have been ravaged by the undead army.
After the troops occupied the village, the commander of the regiment, Knight Grofilo, divided his first brigade of soldiers into several squads, cleaned up the undead scattered in the surrounding area, and agreed to order the remaining four brigades to clean up the village and prepare for cooking fires.
Pedi did not interfere too much with the habits of the front-line commanders in such minor matters, and he rode around the almost ruined villages, which, although he had seen them many times in the past few days, could not help but rise in anger when he saw them again as the sworn king of the country.
"This is the war between the living and the dead. As a former wandering mage and receiving formal mage knowledge in the Mage Tower, what he felt and saw was completely different from the other two, "Is it really impossible to talk between the two?"
"Will you talk to a corpse?" Drahir retorted.
As they spoke, they dismounted from a rubble-strewn courtyard wall, and the knights began to skillfully set up their tents and prepare for cooking on a fire.
Collier and Drahier continued the conversation just now, and the old mage was now with the same rigor as he was studying the subject, "The Mage Tower has studied similar spells before..."
"We've discussed this issue before, and the so-called necromancy you've studied is completely different from this evil spell. Draxier shook his head.
"I'm not talking about necromancy, I'm just thinking about the possibility of evil being neutralized. A simple magic circle appeared in Cowlier's hand, and a ball of evil energy appeared in his hand, "Look..."As his words sounded, the evil energy gathered in his hand was slowly being swallowed by a fire demonic energy, and when the evil slowly disappeared, the fire demonic energy in his hand also slowly became stronger.
"We studied this issue 10,000 years ago, and we have put it into action!" Drahir did not look surprised, he spread his hands helplessly, "The Minotaur tribe gathered the most powerful high-ranking priests at that time, and gathered enough elemental power to destroy half of the continent, but there was no way to neutralize the evil scattered across the continent. โ
When Collier heard this, he didn't look bald, but his eyes lit up and he said, "That is to say, even you agree... With enough energy, it's entirely possible to neutralize the evil energy?"
"You use the elemental power in your hand to cast a spell first. Drahil didn't answer the question, but asked Cowlir to do a little experiment.
"I've already tried," Collier waved his hand to construct a small fireball, "the fire magic that neutralizes the evil energy has a corrosive effect. The fireball smashed into the ground as the scorching flames flickered, kicking up smoke and dust, and a deep pit the size of a head on the ground was smashed out, and a strange sound like "zizi" came from the ears.
"And it's very corrosive, this corrosiveness will follow the flames like maggots possessing a body, and you can't shake it off!" Collier was satisfied that he had now made this magic, "The effect of corrosion is more satisfying than the power of the fire itself. โ
"Yes, he can't help but corrupt everything he sees, and he can corrupt what he can't see... For example, the human mind. Drahir was clearly overly concerned about Cowlil's casual use of this power, "I know what you're thinking, you want to use this power against the undead legions... Don't think too smart about yourself, the Minotaurs did this a long time ago, but it brought disaster to the mainland. โ
"We can set certain laws to avoid accidents, and I believe that under sound legal supervision, such forces will not be too widespread. "Cowlir seemed to be discussing with Draxier, but more often than not, he was making suggestions to his king.
"Do you know why we didn't transmit any of your knowledge of magic until Grand Duke Partved led the Humanity to rise?" Drahir didn't answer Cowlil's topic, he threw out another topic, "The consequences of misusing spells are more terrible than the undead legions, eh... I don't know if I should say the rest or not. He looked at Pedi, his brow full of contradictions.
"I can roughly guess what you're trying to say. Pedi was not very interested in Drahir's words, "I have also studied a period of history, all the forces in the universe are the same, and with my understanding of the Holy Power, it is not difficult to discover the nature of evil powers. โ
"I don't doubt your words. Drahir was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought of the powerful power that the human king had erupted from yesterday, so he nodded in understanding.
Cowlier silently repeated the conversation between the two in his mind, and although he had many questions in his mind, he didn't ask.
Peidi did not continue the topic, he looked at the devastated village and tried to calm the anger in his heart, and said: "Today, this group of undead creatures has retreated so quickly, it is only noon, and our army has advanced for nearly twenty miles. โ
