Chapter 809: Mutual Exploitation
"Okay, don't fight anymore. Ulan Bari waved his hand impatiently and said, "Everyone is planning for the future of the clan, so can't the two of you work together?" I believe that with their knowledge and intelligence, once they unite, they will definitely be able to exert their strength beyond ordinary people and achieve an earth-shattering cause." β
"I've always wanted to work with the chiefs. Barnett bowed to Ulaanbari in full, "It's a pity that the chief has too much prejudice against me and has refused to give me such a chance." β
"Hmph!" Scambarge snorted, not knowing if he was dissatisfied with Ulaanbarge's reaction or his answer to Barnett's words.
A faint hint of displeasure flashed on Ulan Bari's face, but he was not the kind of mediocre person after all, and he would not distinguish the relationship between the two sides according to the other party's attitude.
No matter how respectful Barnett was to himself, he was only an emissary sent by Narentoya to help him, and even like Scambarge, there was not even a hidden purpose in the other party's words and deeds, but this purpose was beyond their imagination.
And even if Scambarge is rude to himself, he is also bent on planning for the future of the Theodine Empire.
This time he was able to break through the defense line of the broken pulse, and the mist created by Barnett and his blood sacrifice can only be said to account for seventy percent of the credit, and the remaining thirty percent was completed by Scambarge leading a group of Western Odin Empire generals.
Scambarge's gaffe shows that the situation under the Theodin Empire has indeed deteriorated to a certain extent.
Ulan Barri, who was thinking about it in his heart, turned his gaze to Barnett and said: "Can the envoy give me an exact date? How many days will the blood sacrifice last? How many animals will be needed? Can't it be completed through a one-time blood sacrifice? Now that the defense line has been broken, my army cannot stay here indefinitely, and we must take advantage of the fact that the other party is not fully prepared to move south in a big way to expand the results of the battle." β
"This ......" Barnett's words revealed embarrassment, "The exact time is very difficult to give, this depends on the degree of resistance within the Broken Blood Fortress, the more fierce their resistance, the longer it will take, as for the one-time blood sacrifice, it's not impossible, it's just that this consumption is more than three times the normal consumption, originally only one million large animals were needed, in this case, it will take more than three million." β
"More than three million?" both Ulan Bari and Skambari gasped.
The million animals in Barnett's mouth are not ordinary animals, but large animals.
Under normal circumstances, large livestock generally refers to cattle and horses, and sheep need to be three to one.
In Barnett's case, humans are super-sized animals, capable of taking one to three.
If it is changed to the peak of the Theodin Empire, if you want to raise three million large livestock, although it is not easy, with a little time, you can always do it.
But for an empire that has been fighting for years and has suffered a lot of damage, it is an astronomical amount that has been invested no less than this number before.
Once this number of livestock is extracted, the Theodin Empire will not only be as simple as losing vitality, but it is likely to fall apart at that time, and it will be unprofitable in the face of the Byron Alliance, which is wide open.
Even a normal blood sacrifice of one million is a heavy burden for the current Western Odin Empire.
"What if the blood sacrifice is stopped now?" Ulan Bari had to consider stopping the use of such unconventional methods.
"If we stop now, although the divine power shrouded in the sky above the Broken Blood Fortress will not disappear immediately, it will continue to weaken, and it will not be able to exist permanently as I promised before, and if the resistance force inside is strong enough, it will even speed up the disappearance of the divine power. Barnett replied truthfully, "When Your Majesty is facing, it will not only be as simple as breaking off the bloody horse, but it may even be an enemy that common sense cannot measure, if that situation really occurs, Your Majesty will not blame me for not reminding you at that time." β
"What is the enemy that cannot be measured by common sense? Why did it arise? Didn't you say before that the mortal forces led by Cedric would not have any power to resist in the presence of your great true god? What is the current rebellion? Also, why didn't you tell Your Majesty about this matter before the blood sacrifice?
This time, even Ulaanbari's face had an embarrassment that could not be concealed.
As Scambarge said, it is a conscious concealment, a deception, and there is even an unspeakable purpose hidden in it.
Barnett was not embarrassed to be accused at all, or rather, he himself had no emotions in this regard, and said non-fluctuatingly: "The chief's questions are too naΓ―ve, in this world, can there be a perfect plan? If someone can really devise it, it is no longer a man, but a god, and all kinds of unexpected situations occur, isn't it a normal thing? At the beginning, I already said that this method, we are also trying this method for the first time, there will be unforeseen emergencies in it, don't you also agree? How do you talk about this now?
As for the enemy that cannot be measured by common sense, it is purely literal, and it is very likely that they will be like our undead warriors, who are not afraid of pain, do not know fear, and do not need supplies, because then the situation will be beyond my control, and I will not be able to give an accurate answer. β
"You ......," Scambarge couldn't help but froze for a while, but when he thought about Barnett's words, it was indeed as he said.
In the case of the Theodin Empire's urgent illness and rush to the hospital, the other party did mention these things to them lightly, but they ignored them intentionally or unintentionally.
Barnett reminded him again: "But your Majesty can rest assured, we still have several contingency plans, we can help Your Majesty transform the warriors under your command into undead warriors, or send a death squad into the Divine Power Zone, I believe that with our help, we will speed up the clearing of the enemy." β
"I'll think about this matter carefully, you go down first. At this time, Ulaanbari still believed that Barnett had a ghost, and drove him out of his tent.
"Your Majesty needs anything, greet me at any time, and I will wait outside. Barnett walked very cleanly, as if he did not feel at all that Ulaanbari had developed a prejudice against him, and no longer trusted him as before.
After Barnett walked out of the tent, Ulaanbarge did not speak, but cast an inquiring gaze at Scambarge.
Scamba comprehended, and the blazing white light on his body flickered, and he circled the entire camp.
Suddenly, in the entire tent, Barnett's characteristic cold aura dissipated.
Scambari nodded at Ulaanbari and said, "Safe, the other party is not playing tricks." β
Bang!
The table in front of Ulan Bari was directly lifted away by it, and the anger in his heart that he was trying to hide instantly skyrocketed, and he was about to gush out, roaring angrily: "This bastard, as my uncle said before, has a big problem, and is using us to achieve their ulterior purposes, bastard, bastard, bastard......"
Ulaanbarge and Scambarge, just now in front of Barnett, with a red face and a white face, staged a double reed drama.
The purpose is self-evident, it is to pull something substantial out of Barnett.
Although the goal just now was not fully achieved, I also probed something substantial from the other party's mouth.
"One is a living person, the other is a living dead person, the two sides have a mode of existence, there is a conflict in nature, how can it be the same goal? It is nothing more than using each other, we use their unconventional means to open a gap in the line of defense against the pulse, and they want to use us to achieve their ulterior purposes. β
The current situation is completely reversed, Ulan Bari is furious, Skamba is light, and the previous appearance of anger is completely disguised.
"What is their purpose?, Uncle does he have eyebrows?" After venting the evil fire that had been suppressed in his heart, Ulaanbari's strong self-control once again took over, and he regained control of his reason and emotions.
"Their purpose is not completely without traces, and the form in which they exist now, although it is different from ordinary people, is ultimately transformed by people, and some things will not jump out of this category. "Their material needs have changed, but their pursuit of rights has never changed, and they have taken the initiative to send people to assist us for two purposes."
One is to use us as arrows to weaken or tear through the line of defense against the broken vein, which is not only an obstacle to our southward movement, but also theirs.
The second is that we will be the test subjects, testing their new tactics, so that we can help them conquer cities in the future.
As for whether there are other purposes hidden in the blood sacrifice or this fog, it is not known due to the information currently available.
However, one thing is certain, their purpose has not yet been accomplished, and they hope that we will continue to increase investment, and the initiative is still in our hands to a certain extent.
We don't need to fully understand their purpose, we just need to interrupt the blood sacrifice to let their purpose die.
As I said before, our purpose is to use them to help us break through the broken line, not to turn the whole world into a world of the living dead.
Now that our goal has been achieved, there is no need to continue to follow them crazy.
Now we have reached the stage where the more we invest, the more we lose.
Your Majesty, I heard it just now, even if we completely end the blood sacrifice now, the fog that shrouds the sky over the Broken Blood Castle will not completely disappear.
It won't take long, only a week, for our army to cross the line from all over the country and enter Byron in full force, and even if the blood cavalry led by Cedric is intact, there will be nothing we can do.
They have been exposed to a high concentration of negative emotions for a long time, and even strong-willed iron-blooded warriors may go berserk and wield swords at those around them, not to mention those ordinary people.
According to Barnett's cunning character, instigating us to use so many animals as sacrifices would never be as simple as creating a fog of negative energy that envelops the Broken Blood Fortress.
I've sent several elite rangers into it to investigate what's going on inside.
Most of them went and never returned, except for a cowardly deserter, who escaped from the battle, escaped, and then went completely insane, shouting monsters all the time, and must have seen some kind of terrible monster in the fog, and was frightened into what it is now.
This is still the case on the outside, but you can imagine what is going on inside.
So, I have reason to believe that Cedric and his blood ride are probably a thing of the past, and Barnett is just trying to get us to make additional follow-up investments, trying to control us by intimidating us. β
Scambarge's reasonable, progressive analysis, listening to Ulan Barri's repeated nodding and saying: "Uncle analysis is very reasonable, we were a little bit of a bit of a victim of Barnett's show before, and then he has been led by the nose, the best way to make this guy uncomfortable is not to let him get what he wants, I will give an order, let the army pack up and prepare to pull." β
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be so impatient, although we don't want to be controlled by the other party, but it hasn't reached the point of completely tearing our faces, we can leave some people to stay here with the king's tent, and the large army will secretly go south, so that we can not only maintain the current situation of the Broken Blood Fort to the greatest extent, not to cause trouble for our southward journey, but also to confuse the forces of Byron in all aspects, Your Majesty should be aware of the capricious nature of the Cummins family, and now the Miracle Peninsula is empty, once we get the news that our main force has completely crossed the defense line, it will inevitably launch a surprise attack on us from the seaγ β
"It's just a bunch of pirates who can't be climatized, and even if they steal the entire peninsula, as long as we can maintain absolute superiority in our forces, we will be able to drive them back to the sea without much effort when we sweep back. "Ulaanbarge doesn't take the threat of the Cummins family in their eyes at all.
The Byron Alliance family that the Theodin Empire deals with the most and knows the most is not the Streich family stationed in the Broken Blood Castle, but the Cummins family who have been exiled to the sea.
Because there is not only a competitive relationship between the two sides, but also a close cooperative relationship in private.
"Barnett's group of living dead, even if there is no place for them in the future, we must make sure that they do not cause trouble for us in the rear, so that my uncle is more thoughtful, so we will act according to the plan!"
As soon as Ulan Bari had made up his mind, a Golden King Tiger Guard hurriedly broke in and reported: "Your Majesty, Special Envoy Barnet is heading towards the Blood Sacrifice Ground. β
"Blood Sacrifice Field? What is he running to the Blood Sacrifice Field? Isn't the Blood Sacrifice there already completed on its own?"
"Not good. Scambarge's reaction was obviously much faster, "Your Majesty and I have just tried to hide it, but I am afraid that we have not been able to hide from the old fox, so that he can guess something, and it is possible to take unscrupulous coercive measures." β
