Section 17 One against eight
As it was approaching evening, all the two sides agreed to strike and go back to repair and discuss.
"No wonder they have no fear! There are 25 angels in total, and even if we win all seven games, we won't be able to deal with the other 18 angels......" Credder said with a grunt.
"With the fourth-order alone, they can lead us by 11 victories! I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to recover the disadvantage in the third-order duel. "The difference between the strength of the two sides of the third order is extremely small, not to mention that the Free Empire has lost many top masters in the early stage of defeat.
"Let's launch a general attack tomorrow!" Medi suggested in a loud voice, much with the approval of the majority. Everyone turned to Harry, and finally he needed to get an idea.
The so-called gambling fight is just a buffer to measure the strength of both sides. Since you can't win the bet, it's better to start a decisive battle directly. There is no need to talk about honesty in war, victory is the last word.
"Although the fourth-order of our side surpasses the angels of the other party, the number of the other party is far superior to ours, so we really fight together...... I'm afraid it's not optimistic!" Harry pondered for a while, and said slowly, "We can't afford to lose more, but the other party may not. ”
Although two angels died in the Holy Light Empire, I believe that it will not be long before someone will make up for it. In today's war, the Free Empire did not take advantage of it.
"But if the gamble continues, won't we have to retreat to the imperial capital!" Dalutia is only 300 kilometers away from the imperial capital, and even if the Free Empire takes the initiative to admit defeat in advance, it is basically equivalent to giving away the third line of defense. The other party can easily enter the imperial capital and threaten the heart of the empire.
"Don't worry...... I have a way to win this bet!" Harry muttered with a confident and mysterious smile on his face.
......
The next day, the two sides again confronted each other in the open space under the city of Dhaka.
"How? Are you ready to throw in the towel?" Semetis smirked. The basis for this gamble is that the Holy Light Empire has an extremely large number of fourth-order angels, and I am afraid that the Free Empire never dreamed that the number of angels on its side would be so large.
The fourth order of the Free Empire is only the initial stage, and it is already the limit to deal with two angels, and the number of your own side is three or four times that of the other party. Even if a head-on war is waged, the Free Empire has no chance of winning! Moreover, as long as the angelic heart of the angel is not destroyed, it can be resurrected.
If it were not for the plan of the Lord's coming, avoid losing the heart of the angels. With the power in his hands, Semetis could already launch a full-scale invasion.
"Admit defeat, it seems that you are the ones who are at a disadvantage now!" Hali Shiran walked out and said, "Today's first game, I will ask for advice." ”
"Your Excellency's strength is surpassed, I just want to see it!" Semetis casually sent an angel to the field.
Fourth-Order Magician...... How was it different from the warriors? Semetis was clearly concerned about Harry's strength, and specifically instructed the angel to stall for time. He wanted to see what Harry was capable of.
"I have a request!" Harry said suddenly, "I ask to play against eight angels on your side at the same time!"
What! Did he think he was a god! Fighting against eight fourth-order strength angels at the same time?
"If I win, we'll win eight more games. If I lose, we'll lose eight games!" Harry calmly explained, "This should be a fair offer, right?"
The intention of both parties to agree to the fight is actually to test and measure their respective strengths. If Harry can really defeat the eight angels, it will prove that he has the strength to contain the eight angels, and it is fair to count the Free Empire winning eight games.
"We agreed in advance that it would be a one-on-one battle, and now that I have the chance to win, why should I agree to your unreasonable request?" Semetis is not stupid, why take this risk if he can win with certainty? Although he did not believe that Harry could defeat eight angels at the same time, he was always cautious and would not leave the other party any chance.
"Our bet is to measure the balance of war by the strength of the masters. As you should know, I'm not over-the-top in my proposal. "Harry has a 'chest' and seems not afraid that Semetis will not agree.
"You're not asking too much. But why do I have to say yes?" Semetis grimaced, his eyes sweeping over Harry, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Of course Your Excellency can not agree!" Harry smiled slightly, and asked unhurriedly, "Excuse me, is it the population of our Free Empire or the population of your Holy Light Empire?"
Belch...... Semetis was stunned by Harry's question. It took him a long time before he came to his senses.
Even if the population of the land occupied hundreds of kilometers north is counted in the Holy Light Empire, the total population of the Free Empire still far exceeds that of the Holy Light Empire. Harry's purpose in asking this question was to remind Semetis.
According to the rules of the gambling game, the free empire is actually invincible!
The winning side is not eligible to stop gambling, as long as the Free Empire is still on the losing side, it can ask the bet to continue without restriction until the Holy Light Empire is unable to send manpower. Although this is a scoundrel, it is true that he is in accordance with the rules.
That's what Harry said: the certainty of victory! From the very beginning, there were 'holes' in this bet, so Harry readily agreed.
It was in the interests of the Empire, and Harry naturally wouldn't talk about fairness with the other party. Since you have to stick to the rules, then I will stick to the rules with you. Semetis never dreamed that he would be negligent enough to leave such a big mistake.
Originally, this gambling fight was to measure the strength by the competition of masters, so the two sides did not specifically put forward the strength standards of the participants. In Semetis's mind, the battle can last until the level 8 master comes out is already the limit. But Harry caught his mistake......
Semetis' face was 'cloudy' and sunny, and his eyes wandered on Harry for a while before he spoke: "Your Excellency is calculating......
If Harry can win eight games, then the Free Empire will have a total of 14 wins, and the opposing Angel can win up to 11 games, and the Free Empire can lead three games in the fourth-order duel.
"Hmph! Don't talk nonsense. Harry said coldly, "This will be the last bet between us. If I win, then you will withdraw from Hudhaka. If you win, we will return to the imperial capital. ”
There is no point in extraneous fights. If Harry can really defeat one against eight, it means that the seven fourth-order of the Free Empire can suppress the strength of 22 angels, and the Holy Light Empire should make concessions. If Harry can't win, it means that the fourth-order power of the Holy Light Empire is slightly superior, and it is reasonable for the Freedom Empire to retreat.
Harry's other reason: he could challenge eight at a time, and so could the other party. Even if they win against eight angels, and the other party still has 11, if they also demand one against eight, the Empire of Freedom may have to export the entire land.
So! The battle is the winner! It's fair and reasonable!
"Hahaha! The Holy Son is still the Holy Son...... After all, it's one step higher than me. "My own winning game was broken by Harry. Stick to the rules...... Your side will lose. If you don't stick to the rules, you'll have to bet on the game against Harry.
"Good!" Semetis' face turned cold, and he shouted, "I'll see how you defeat the eight angels!"
Now, all the petty tricks and 'yin' schemes are meaningless. Let's speak with strength!
Harry...... Are you sure?" asked Kiru, a little worried. He had learned the strength of angels, and he was confident that he could barely contain three angels, but Harry had to deal with eight angels!
What's more, the masters of the Holy Light Empire are the best at cooperating with each other, and it was already very difficult for Grom to deal with the three angels at the beginning.
"It's too risky!" Credder advised, "Rather than that, let's go together." Now that the other party has two less angels, it is a good time to attack. ”
There is also truth to Cred's words. It's a war now, and the basis for betting on something is bullshit, and if Harry really wants to fight eight against one, it's not that everyone is fighting together, and he may not lose.
"Don't worry, everyone! Even if I can't win, my life will never be in danger. Everyone nodded in acknowledgement.
"I'm not doing this to be reckless. You must know that the number of our fourth-order is far inferior to that of the other party, and even if we can fight with the other party, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. If the resurrected angel of the other party comes again, how can we resist it?" Harry patiently explained.
"The most important thing we should do right now is wait. Wait for your strength to grow, and wait for more fourth-order to appear...... The longer it takes, the better it will be for us. "Harry didn't say anything else, that is, the Demon God was about to break through the Fifth Order. This is the killer feature of the Free Empire.
"But the number of angels in the Holy Light Empire will also increase. Kerr said.
"The energy of the God of Light is limited, and this time to make such a number of angels, in the short term, I am afraid there is no energy left to continue. In terms of potential, we are better than them!" Harry affirmed.
In the race of God, everything is based on the energy of the energy source. If it weren't for the rapid capture of the Free Empire, I'm afraid the God of Light would not be willing to spend such a huge amount of energy to create so many angelic hearts!
"What if...... What if you lose this battle?" is a question that many people want to know the answer to.
"Lose...... I haven't thought about it!" Harry smiled warmly, his face full of confidence.
He may not be much stronger than these fourth-order warriors in front of him. But if you want to talk about 'melee' warfare, you are more sure than anyone else!
I'm a magician!
"Trust Harry!" Kiru said calmly, "That's all there is to it!"
"Don't worry!" Harry tilted his head to signal for reassurance, and slowly rose into the air.
Opposite him, eight angels were divided into two formations in groups of four. In each formation, there is a blessed angel and three battle angels...... The perfect combination of battles.
Holy Light Blessing! In the muttering prayers of the two blessed angels, a huge pillar of light shone on the surroundings of the battle angels, and the holy power in their bodies seemed to be encouraged, and the light was magnificent, and the momentum suddenly increased by two percent.
Fight...... Here we go!
