Chapter 653: Soul Protection
"Needless to say, revenge, of course. The marshals said in unison.
"The development momentum of these immortals is indeed rapid, but if you are looking for trouble with the Theodin Empire, their strength is still a little worse!" Kelman's main chief of staff asked his own question.
"For this kind of enemy, you can't look at them with the eyes of a normal army, what they are best at is to feed the war with war, even if the undead soldiers and cannon fodder are all wiped out, as long as they can win the war and ensure that the undead do not die, it won't take long for them to reorganize a stronger army, don't forget, the most difficult thing for them is the epidemic carried by those undead soldiers, once it spreads in the Western Odin Empire, it will make them collapse as a whole. β
When he said this, Sean couldn't help but think of a classic strategy game in his previous life, the Sea of Skulls is definitely a Lai Pi tactic, the front foot has just been killed three hundred, and as soon as it changes hands, it can resurrect five hundred from the enemy's dead soldiers.
If you're a friend, it's definitely a cool thing.
But as an enemy, it is definitely a difficult opponent.
"After the Western Odin Empire withdrew from the Broken Pulse Defense Line, the army was broken up and returned to the tribe, if they were not aware of this new rising enemy, we should worry about whether the Western Odin Empire would be destroyed by them, and the entire Odin steppe would be reduced to a dead country, in that case, the danger would be much higher than those Odin orcs. The chief of staff of the main Hebrew staff of Ban expressed his concerns.
"Just because it's not easy for us to go to war with them right now doesn't mean we can't do anything. Sean groaned slightly and began to dispatch his troops.
"After the meeting, the Northern Strategic Command was immediately established, and I personally took command, with Marshal Dicron and Chief of Staff Kelman as my deputies, and mobilized more sentinels to monitor every move of this undead kingdom. β
"Yes. β
"Field Marshal Steffany, you lead your Fourth Army to extend the defensive line to the border of the Kogel steppe, and at the same time prepare the pastures here to retreat south at any time. "Although Naren Toya has no signs of waving his troops to attack the Eternal Night Army, as the ruler of the territory, Sean must consider all aspects and be fully prepared to prevent unexpected events from happening and let himself fall into passivity.
"Yes. β
"Dean Elena, the epidemic carried by those undead soldiers will be handed over to you and your medical team, this will be your highest priority, I want you to mobilize the maximum manpower and material resources, and the military leaders will also fully cooperate, if there is any need, I not only want to cure these diseases, but I also want to completely kill the pathogen of this epidemic and the method of large-scale inoculation of antibodies, not only people, but also cattle, horses and sheep and other large livestock, only by solving this point, we can have no worries, rest assured to formulate an offensive and defensive planγ β
"We're going to do our best. Ms. Elena did not say anything to death, after so many years of medical research, she has deeply understood a truth, technology is only the basis for the development of new drugs, but not all, luck also plays a role that cannot be ignored.
If they're lucky, they may be able to find the right direction and develop an effective drug with just a few experiments.
If they are unlucky, they will not find the right path, even if they repeat countless experiments and rule out countless possibilities.
"Chief of Staff of Ben Hebrew, you select a team of emissaries, go to the Broken Blood Fort first, and try to persuade Archduke Cedric to find a way to send the emissary team to the Western Odin Empire, deliver the news from the Balsing steppe to them, and later I will personally make a memory image and bring it to the emissary team. β
"Yes. The chief of staff of the main Hebrew army instantly understood Sean's true intentions, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his lord has really matured.
Sean did not directly send a team of emissaries to the Western Odin Empire, but went around the Broken Blood Fortress, which had many deep meanings.
Leaving the fortress from the northern fortress, directly interspersing through most of the Odin steppe, and going to the West Odin Empire, it is not necessarily much closer than taking the Broken Blood Fortress, after all, the waterway of the Jacob River can help them save them a few weeks.
In terms of risk factors, the two are completely incomparable.
The most important thing is that the Eternal Night Army Leader can't get on the stage at all in front of the ruling class of the Western Odin Empire, and their envoy team, Baba who is not far away, runs over, not to mention the king of Ulan Bari, even if it is the real power figure below, it is unknown whether he can see it.
It would be different if Archduke Cedric assisted him, although the two sides were enemies, they were also enemies worth paying attention to, and it was more likely that the information would be sent to Ulaanbari and other high-level officials at that time.
Only if the Theodin Empire pays enough attention to Narentoya and her undead legions will it be effective in curbing their expansion.
In this world, there are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies.
Half a year ago, the two sides were still calculating each other, fighting for life and death.
It's not surprising to join forces now for an enemy like no other.
Rather than an unconventional enemy like Naren Toya, Sean prefers to fight against the Theodin Empire.
After all, the purpose of the latter is more predictable, and it is nothing more than wealth, power, and honor.
Naren Toya is different, who knows what these people want when they are not ghosts, especially when there is a mysterious goddess standing behind them.
Because of the God of Death's affairs, Sean really doesn't have a good impression of these gods that suddenly appeared.
Who knows if the other party is a true god, or just an impostor like the god of death, who claims to be a god, most of them have not very normal brains, especially when it comes to death-related things, it will not be too good.
Sean has not forgotten that in the depths of his soul consciousness, there is also a law text.
This means that in this world, the cycle of life and death is a matter within the rules.
The other party's desire to establish an immortal realm is definitely a matter that violates the laws of the plane.
If you destroy this goddess of night and winter, I don't know if you will win more law power for yourself, or a new plane law.
Although the law words in his mind have a very weak sense of existence, except for his soul being clothed in a layer of gold and looking tall, it does not show any substantive use, even the power of the law has been used in addition to purifying the dragon soul and the giant soul, and the rest of the restoration is stored in Sean's soul, not to mention finding their usage, sometimes Sean even forgets its existence.
However, Sean has a hunch that this is definitely a good thing, and if he has the opportunity, he will store more, which is likely to come in handy in the future.
This is also where his confidence in the so-called gods lies, especially like the goddess of night and winter, this kind of existence that is breaking the laws of the plane, when the time comes, he is not alone, the laws of the plane are on his side, and he can borrow from them.
"Chief Prey, Chief Yar, on the side of the Kentanans, please leave it to you, in addition to appeasing their emotions, the original plan remains the same, the Kentana people who should be brought together still have to be brought together, it is easier to survive the disaster than they themselves are suffering on the ice field, we will adjust our strategy and find new ways to settle them, don't forget that we also have a Danube Plain, use it as a pasture, although it is a bit wasteful, but we currently do not have enough manpower to develop it for grazing, it is not a stopgap measure. β
As the saying goes, there are many grinds, and it was originally a sure thing to swallow the Kentanans, but I didn't expect that there would be a moth on the issue of placement, but fortunately, the territory of the Eternal Night Army Territory was large enough and had enough room to move.
"Lord Zu Ling, don't worry, we will restrain our clansmen and will definitely not add an extra burden to the military leaders. Chief Prey and Chief Yar patted their chests and reassured.
"Marshall, the development of the Danube Plain on your side is further accelerated, and it is best to divide the land there, combine farming and pasture, and the herds on the Kogel steppe, and strive to transfer half of them to the Danube Plain in the spring of next year. "This is a follow-up to the Kogel steppe arrangement.
"Yes. Marshall, the treasurer, and Marshal Woody, the commander of the Shuangjiang Navy, led the order in unison.
After the main tone of the whole thing was set, everyone discussed the specific implementation plan and the coordination problems that were easy to encounter in the process before they completely dispersed.
It is not for nothing that Marshal McGee, who has no substantive tasks in place, come to the meeting.
The Eternal Night Leader is a whole, and it has always affected the whole body.
The strategic layout of the future has changed, and they will naturally have to adjust their future plans accordingly, such as preparing to sit in the permanent ruins group of fortresses.
If the Kentanans do not complete their reorganization, they will not be able to move for a day.
When the personnel dispersed, Sophia spoke: "At the military meeting just now, you overlooked a problem. β
As the lord's wife who is integrating into the big family of the Eternal Night Commander, Sophia began to frequently go in and out of the major military meetings of the Eternal Night Commander, and the same decisions made by Sophia about the princess's fiefdom did not shy away from Sean, and some even took the initiative to ask Sean's opinion.
It's just that the way in which both sides put forward their opinions is private, in a more private way.
Both sides are carefully protecting their edges and corners to prevent scratching each other, which can lead to unnecessary conflicts, at least not in front of people.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two can now be called a model couple.
"What did you overlook? Sean asked curiously.
"The temptation of immortality to man. Sophia said succinctly, "Especially for those who are suffering from diseases and on the verge of death, transforming into the undead is not a way to continue life, we must be careful, some people can't resist this temptation and defect to the camp of the undead, and it is very easy to cause the leakage of core technology at that time." β
Hearing this, Sean's face immediately became gloomy, and he nodded and said: "Thank you Madame for reminding us, we really haven't considered this part, not only is there a possibility in this regard, but it is not small, this temptation not only comes from his own fear of death, but also may come from his relatives, fortunately, for the news of the undead, we have been tightly sealed, at present, only the core high-level knows, and there is no propaganda below, I will send someone to formulate corresponding preventive measures." β
There is a great terror between life and death.
Only those who have wandered around before the ghost gate can know the real horror in it.
Especially on the sickbed, repeatedly tormenting, waiting for the slow arrival of death, not only for the person concerned, but also for his family, it is a kind of torture and suffering.
It is not surprising that under the control of such emotions of despair and fear, they do things that go against their beliefs and ideals.
The soldiers of the Eternal Night may be able to resist the temptations of power, money, and beauty, but they may not be able to resist the threat of death.
This kind of thing must not be simply pinned on the self-discipline of the soldiers, and a corresponding monitoring mechanism must be established to prevent them from taking such a step.
There is no doubt that this incident brought back the darkest part of Sean's past life.
However, compared to the blind evasion at the beginning, he can already face this memory.
After pondering for a few seconds, Sean added: "The most troublesome thing about this kind of enemy is that they have incredible means, and we still need to be careful that the soldiers fall into their hands and transform the undead, but we don't need to ask for the consent of the parties."
Once our soldiers are transformed into immortals, whether they can keep secrets or not is two words, simply not letting the other party capture the living mouth, it is not an insurance thing, these people are experts in playing with the soul, no one knows, whether they have the ability to read memories directly from the soul, or torture the soul.
Moreover, the soul fire controlled by those immortals is not a simple spell, but has a soul nature, in the face of ordinary spells, the armor at least has the ability to resist impact, but in front of them, will there be any defense. β
Sophia said thoughtfully: "Could it be that you want to find a way to protect the soul of the soldier from the combat skills and spells. β
Princess Sophia has been learning rapidly in the Northern Fortress during this time, and the battle skills and spell system have already eaten a lot, and when she heard this kind of problem, the first thing that came to mind was the same unconventional method.
As she spoke, various spell circuits had flashed through her mind, in which she had indeed found several spell circuits that were indeed feasible.
As long as there is a complete spell circuit, it means that the corresponding combat skills and spells can be created.
"This kind of thing can only start with spells. Even if he is worried, at this moment Sean can't help but smile a little, recently, the effort he has spent on Princess Sophia has not been in vain, her thinking pattern is unconsciously changing, this is the magic brought by the environment.
"At that time, even if they have the combat skills to defend against soul attacks, they can only let them withstand a few more soul attacks on the battlefield, but there is still no way to prevent them from dying their souls and being manipulated by the other party. Sophia then went on to say half of it.
"It's not impossible to think about this, aren't they connoisseurs of playing with souls? Sean said with a cold face.
"Let them have no soul control? How can you do it? You can't give every soldier a soul self-detonation skill, right? This kind of practice is too cruel for our soldiers. Sophia was startled by the idea she had come up with, and shook her head repeatedly.
"Of course you can't do this, if you do, won't the soldiers below make us rebel?" Sean rejects Sophia's idea, "Do you remember what I told you about the Legion Battle Banner some time ago?"
