Chapter 58: Covenant and Covenant
(Thank you for the monthly pass to the secluded world!Thank you brother for your great support!I'm working overtime again at this time, when will it be the head...... )
That's really just the result of a mistake.
Charlotte heard Claire say that when she was in the Wailing Basin, Claire had planned to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger to beat the banshee Meng Lisa by surprise. But then the situation changed, and although he failed to take down Monlisa, he also inadvertently gave Malthus and Simon the wrong information.
"Really?" Jacob was noncommittal, and the man who was still smiling just now jumped to his feet and scolded in the next second, "That's why I said that you and Claire are out-and-out fraudsters! Villains! Bastards! You didn't trust me from the beginning, and you didn't treat me as a companion at all! It is precisely because the real battlefield that determines the outcome is on Claire and Ramsay's side, that you who are afraid of my bad things have arranged me in the battlefield of the Land of Abomination." In addition to reducing the threat of my anti-water, this has the advantage that after Ragnard's death, you know that I have no way back but to escape from the Far North!"
Charlotte not only accepted his anger calmly, but solemnly apologized, "You're not wrong at all, I'm sorry, Jacob." But I have to ask you to think about it, if you were to stand in Claire's place, what would you choose?"
Jacob was stunned for a moment, then grinned, "Nonsense! Of course you didn't negotiate!"
His calm attitude was equally straightforward and reversed, making Vivien and Lolita, who were already nervous, laugh. Charlotte laughed at the same thing, and asked, "So, what about your decision, do you want to try to do a miracle with us?"
"Have you thought about what to do if Sergei and Mare go to war?" asked Nowell, who had been silent.
Charlotte nodded, "The only way to fight to the death is to buy time for Claire and Ramsay." ”
"It's nonsense. Nowell's cold reply made Charlotte's mood sink.
If Jacob and Nowell had decided not to fight, they wouldn't have to fight this battle at all. No matter how arrogant she was, Charlotte knew that he and Wycliffe would never be able to lead the Secret Ritual to withstand Malthus and Simon's counterattack.
But Jacob's answer relieved Charlotte, "But it's passionate, isn't it? Nowell, do you want to try it with me?"
Nowell nodded, "Since you guessed that their plan is still going to enter the game, haven't you already made up your mind?"
"Hahaha! you still know me!Thanks!Uncle!" Jacob tiptoed and patted the tall Nowell, then turned back to Charlotte and said, "But don't be too happy, it's still the same sentence! If I judge that I can't hold on any longer......"
"Just run!" Charlotte said directly, "because I will run with my disciples when the time comes." ”
Jacob's eyes widened, "You're really direct! Is that okay? Wouldn't it be a bit ruthless to leave behind your comrades on the other battlefield?"
Charlotte was silent for a moment, then replied, "I'm just telling the truth. My life is no longer my own, I have more important things to accomplish. ”
Charlotte wasn't lying. It is true that he has the power of death reset, but the side effects of this power are completely uncontrollable, and if you wake up the root agent in advance or cause the forced correction of the root, then everything will really be over.
He had promised to protect Vivien Leigh, and he had to find a way to find Sylvia. His life is no longer his own, so he can no longer be as willful as he used to be.
"And I also promised Claire to protect Leonard and my disciples, and if the situation is not good, Claire's side will also retreat according to the situation. Charlotte added, "We're trying to survive, but that doesn't mean we're going to jump off a cliff knowing we're going to die." ”
Leonard was reluctant to speak, as he pressed to be with Claire, but was already aware of Claire's true thoughts when he was vetoed.
Although it seems that Charlotte's side is under more pressure, from the perspective of the set goal, the difficulty between trying to hold the other party's attention and having to kill Malthus is a world apart. Claire, whose goal is to kill the enemy, is unlikely to take care of Leonard, on the contrary, Charlotte, who is on the defensive, is more able to take care of everyone.
"I'm just afraid that even running away will become a luxury when the time comes. Jacob snorted, "It should be said that if you fail, the only chance to escape is at the moment of failure." Only when they can't react can they escape from the net. ”
"So go all out. No matter how distressed the rest is, it is unthinkable. Charlotte admits his judgment and asks, "So you're going to join the game?"
"Hmm!" Jacob nodded heavily, "I'm already on the thief ship anyway!, you're right, follow Malthus, and sooner or later I'll be killed by that bastard." It's better to fight while there is hope!"
"Welcome!"
On the battlefield of the Abomination, with the roar of Wycliffe's battle, the two hands were sincerely clasped together for the first time.
Almost at the same time, somewhere in the Far North, Malthus had just ended a call with Simon using the Soul Seat's teleportation spell. Simon conveyed to Malthus the news of the attack on the Abomination Lands and the fall of Ragnard the Abomination, and asked him to come to his aid as soon as possible in accordance with the Covenant.
At the time, Malthus was full of words. The two agreed that judging from the timing of Ragnard's defeat and the existing forces of Claire and Charlotte, it should be their absolute main force wreaking havoc in the Abomination. The only thing they didn't expect was that Jacob, who was also an ally, actually betrayed the covenant at this time.
In fact, it can't be said that it was completely unexpected, after all, Jacob is by no means stupid, and he must also realize that neither Malthus nor Simon will sooner or later let go of him who is the weakest. In this way, it is indeed possible that he will have other thoughts after seeing Charlotte, the king of Icewind Castle.
And as Charlotte and Jacob's conversation predicted, neither Malthus nor Simon considered the possibility of Charlotte and Claire becoming legends. In other words, they believe that Ragnard was defeated quickly by the combination of Ramsay, Wycliffe, and Nowell.
Enraged, Simon proposed to destroy Claire and the others once and for all, in order to end the guerrilla war that had been pursued for months as soon as possible. During the call, Malthus, who couldn't help but rejoice when he heard Simon's heavy loss, also judged that this was the best opportunity, so he agreed to Simon without hesitation.
But after the call ended, Malthus, who was suspicious by nature, thought of another possibility.
He looked at the Banshee King Lisa beside him and asked, "Are you sure that it was only Claire, Willett, Ramsay, and Charlotte who attacked the Wailing Basin at that time?"
Meng Lisa nodded first, and then shook her head, "No, it was Claire who said it, and I also had this judgment based on the situation at the time, but I didn't see Charlotte and Willett with my own eyes." ”
"Really......"
Marsasto ched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Jacob, as he thought, was not stupid. If he hadn't judged that Claire had a chance of victory, how could he risk his life to betray the Covenant?
Unlike Simon, who was furious with the terrible loss, the suspicious Malthus vaguely thought of a possibility that was both unexpected and reasonable.
And this possibility made him feel heavy. (https:)
