Chapter 370: A game within a game
Dimonx managed to re-travel from Earth. He had been groping for a long time on the reef before finally finding the rift in space.
When he traveled back from the rift back to the border with Asgard. He had found that his team of 1,000 people had not only been wiped out, but also that the corpses, weapons, etc., had been cleaned up by the Asgardian people.
Aside from the shattered armor and blood stains scattered on the ground, there was nothing to prove that there had ever been an encounter here.
However, Diamonds was not sure if there were Asgardian soldiers roaming around. If there are still those wanderers cleaning up the battlefield and clearing out deserters, then they may be in danger.
But maybe his luck has bottomed out. So Diamonds was lucky not to encounter any wandering soldiers cleaning the battlefield.
He traversed the border area with relative ease, and re-arrived at his original station. It took him quite a bit of time.
Because he has to do these things carefully. The forces of the Far Lands are intertwined, with Asgard, the Dark Elves, the Light Elves, and the Frost Giants all at war here.
If one of you accidentally gets involved in a small-scale conflict, you may die before you can send back important news.
Diamonds are nocturnal and nocturnal. Along the way, the water and rice did not enter. Because any place to get water is likely to have soldiers stationed in ambush.
When he hurried back in the starry night, he happened to meet the border law officer who was inspecting the complete defeat of an army of 1,000 men.
When the judge on duty saw the ragged and withered Demunx appear at the station, he gave the order without much thought: "Arrest the deserters!"
More than 20 strong dark elf soldiers lined up. Like a tiger pounced, he viciously pressed the already weakened Diamonds to the ground, and he was imprisoned without the power to struggle.
"I'm not a deserter! I'm Captain Diamonds of the Thousand Men. Although he was pressed to the ground and unable to move, Diamonds still tried to raise his face so that the sheriff could see who he really was.
The magistrates of the Frontierlands know the faces of almost every thousand-man captain here. Although Diamonds' face was a little withered because of the ordeal of these days, the magistrate could easily recognize that it was indeed the captain of the Thousand Teams, Diamonds.
However, even after recognizing him, the magistrate still did not let his subordinates let go, and he said more sternly: "I have received the news. A thousand-strong team, because of your misjudgment, did not figure out the truth and reality, and actually hastily attacked the elite soldiers of Asgard who had already ambushed and prepared, and thus annihilated the entire army. ”
"A whole 1,000 great warriors have been buried by you like this! Do you think you can get away with being a thousand-commander!" the magistrate's face was solemn and upright.
"According to the laws of the Empire, the commander's miscommand led to the annihilation of the entire army, and the commander himself also needed to be convicted of the fall. According to the law, I can directly execute you now!"
"Axe Men cut off Dimonx's head!" the magistrate ordered, preparing to execute Dimonx for dereliction of duty.
But how could Diamonds be executed by the sheriff at this critical moment? he felt that he could not die. If he died, that important news would not be passed on to Lord Malekith.
So he shouted, "I can kill me, but I have the right to defend myself! I have repaired the wounds of the dark elves, I have shed my blood for the expansion of the empire! I want to see Lord Malekith!"
"If you don't plead, you know you're not just facing the death penalty. The sheriff's face was grim and his tone was serious.
The Commander is already a position in the middle of the dark elves from the grassroots to the middle management. In this position, if they are not satisfied with the magistrate's decision, they can submit a plea to Malekith for judgment.
If the plea is successful, then it is naturally acquitted. But if the plea fails, and Malekith feels that the magistrate has made the right decision, then the applicant will face a more severe penalty.
It is no longer a simple death sentence, but a stripped of your soul. He was whipped on the execution table for 100 years. Let people feel what it means to be truly alive and dead.
But Dimonx was ready to sacrifice himself, and he had to send the news of the Aether Particles back.
He could not explain the news directly to the judge, because it was so important that no one but Lord Malekis believed it.
——————
Inside the palace of the Dark Elves, Malekith is engaged in an elaborate scheme.
If a collector has aether particles in their hands, then this is still somewhat credible. Because collectors always like to collect all kinds of quirky things.
His fame is small in the public sphere, but great in some circles. He always had some special collectibles on his hands.
According to the information he has, Asgard will send more than 100 ships in exchange for aether particles.
These goods are all extremely precious treasures, and it is very likely that the entire Odin Treasury will be emptied.
But even so, Malekith still felt that it was a good deal, because it was an aether particle, and ten Odin treasury could not compare to such a gem.
In other words, when you meet a collector, only a guy who likes to collect and is strong can agree to such a transaction.
Collectors may know what aether particles are all about. But he was just a collector, not a careerist. If Asgard could come up with enough to impress him, he would indeed be exchanging a gem.
Not everyone wants to dominate the universe with the Infinity Stones. And since Asgard was able to find collectors to exchange for morphic particles, perhaps the news that collectors had aether particles would also spread.
The news of the Reality Gem is bound to attract a pack of hungry wolves. For collectors, this is probably a hot yam, and it is a good thing to be able to dispose of it as soon as possible.
This is also good news for Malekis. As long as you block the transaction and rob this gem of reality, then your long-cherished wish for many years will be fulfilled.
However, it is clear that if the Dark Elves want to snatch this deal this time, they will inevitably face a fierce attack from Asgard.
However, there is a limit to how fierce it is, because Asgard does not want this transaction to be fanfare, and 100 ships is probably the limit of what they can send.
In this way, the number of troops they can dispatch is actually limited. As long as you make a desperate bet to eliminate a sufficient number of elite soldiers and launch a suicide attack on them, then you will definitely be able to snatch them in one go.
It's just that this snatch requires good planning. Malekith was closing his eyes and thinking about how to structure this action.
He wanted to be quiet, but his lieutenant disturbed him at an inopportune time.
"My lord, one of the commanders who had fallen to the whole team of thousands of people raised a defense. ”
Malekith was very upset.
——————
When Diamonds met Malekith, Malekith was sitting on a high throne, looking at Malekis with an ant-looking gaze, waiting for him to defend himself.
Even though his thoughts were interrupted, Malekith kept the Dark Elves running normally.
However, he was in a bad mood, and under normal circumstances, such a defense would have failed, and Malekith still believed in his border sheriff. And the fall of a thousand-man team, there is really nothing to say.
When the time comes, I will sentence this guy to 500 years after soul stripping. Malekith had already figured out how to punish the man named Dimonx.
"Tell me, how are you going to defend it. ”
Malekith looked at Diamonds faintly, to see what kind of lame excuses he was going to use to justify himself, but Moments's first words were shocking and Markis could no longer sit comfortably on the throne.
I heard Diamonds kneeling on the ground, his hands prostrate on the ground. His posture was low, but his voice was very loud: "Lord Malekith, I have found the aether particle!
Knock! Markis slapped his throne's handle heavily, and he snorted!
