Chapter 832: A Bumpy Road Ahead
Evil spirits with wisdom
Prepared enemies
When the two are combined, the battlefield becomes two
These legends from the Baltic Empire are locked in a bitter battle
As the most experienced and combat-ready Victor, he is maintaining the seal on the evil spirit, ensuring that the evil spirit does not run out at this time and make things more troublesome.
The rain of arrows from the sky was a good distraction for several other Legends, who needed to maintain a protective type of magic similar to an enchantment.
This is not an easy job, because the magic arrows that are listed as contraband appear in the hands of the enemy, and the power of these magic arrows is not inferior to the magic of ordinary spellcasters.
In addition, the enemy spellcasters are not to be underestimated, and they are indeed shamans and wizards who do not have a system to receive magical knowledge.
However, when these shamans and wizards are fighting, the combat power they show is enough to be compared to those wizards in the Imperial army, and the slightest flaw may cause the situation to collapse directly.
However, the gap between the caster and the caster, especially between the legendary and the non-legendary, is not so easy to bridge, and they are able to take advantage at this time because the enemy's caster is not in the state and is being pinned.
In a short period of time, these legends can still continue to persevere, and as for their physical strength and magic power, it is impossible to imagine that they will be defeated by exhausting their physical strength.
They believed that Ansel had succeeded in convincing the Legion Commander that reinforcements from the Empire were already on their way and would soon be able to come to their aid.
The actual situation was still quite different from what they expected, the commander refused to send reinforcements for the evil spirit, and Ansel chose to contact Jutland, but did not report the news back in time.
Reinforcements or something, it becomes an imaginary thing, and the real arrival is far away.
In this battlefield, not all people are suppressed, and the warriors and wanderers are frantically harvesting the lives of the enemy, holding their hands in several key places, firmly blocking the enemy like a tide on the periphery.
These melee legends, their bodies are as hard as a rock, their stamina regenerates at an astonishing rate, and they barely feel tired when they have plenty of food.
The gnolls had already developed a feeling of fear, if it weren't for the overseers behind them, they would have been killed if they retreated, and they would have fled by now.
The ogres and trolls in the army did not come into play, and it was not yet time to decide the final victory, and now the casters of the opposing side were still at ease, and let the ogres and trolls play, and they would be completely annihilated in a short time.
Ogres and trolls have little effect on their regenerative abilities in the face of magic, and they are not the strange evil spirits that are being sealed, and they can survive without their bodies.
The commander who led this army was clearly not one of those hot-blooded guys, and he knew how important a commander was to such a disorganized army.
It is not for nothing that the decapitation tactics are so enduring in the main plane, and normal armies tend to disarray themselves and collapse without a fight when they lose their command.
Especially in this world of gods and magic, the strength of individual force makes the role of the commander even more important, even if the Baltic Empire army already has a well-established command system.
Because Levi inherited Goliath's legacy, he did not form a kingdom and brought all the tribes under complete control, so his power is still called a coalition.
It's not that Levi doesn't want to learn from Gohm, to learn from Attila, he is not outstanding in terms of martial arts, and there is no way to have an overwhelming advantage in strength, not to mention prestige, his birth is not noble, and it is difficult for him to convince the chiefs of those tribes to give up their power until he can get enough grades.
This is only for internal reasons, as the neighboring power Pineapple still the empire will not give him the conditions and opportunity to establish a kingdom, before the empire can completely complete the integration of the entire Northland, the empire needs a divided, fighting Ural Mountains.
Ansel didn't know that his team was in such a disadvantageous situation, and he didn't expect that the worries that existed only in words would become reality so quickly.
With a lot of rage, he rushed to the office of the Baltic Empire's intelligence services in the Ural Mountains and found several staff members working there.
Although these assassins have been hidden in the shadows for many years, as an official institution of the Empire, he still needs to set up an office in the open to communicate with other institutions and departments of the Empire.
The office is staffed by civilian staff who have secret links with the assassins that are difficult for outsiders to know.
It is the fastest and safest way to get in touch with Jutland as soon as possible, report the situation here, and look forward to getting support from Jutland and asking for help from these assassins.
Moreover, this matter involves multiple legends, involving the order from Jutland, the evil spirit that needs to be dealt with, in any way, the intelligence services of the empire cannot be avoided, this is their legitimate area of responsibility.
Several staff members of the office knew Ansel, and seeing him walking in a hurry with a solemn face, they knew that he needed their help on something urgent, so they immediately led Ansell into the room, closed the doors and windows, and turned on all kinds of protective magic.
The information brought by Ansel made several people's brows furrow, the threat of evil spirits should not be underestimated, but the concern of the army commander is also worth noting, you can't ignore the threat from those natives because you need to deal with evil spirits, not to mention whether there is a connection between evil spirits and natives, no one can say clearly, compared to the matter of this evil spirit, this city that was finally established in the Ural Mountains is more important.
As long as the city, built specifically for war, remained in the Ural Mountains and under the control of the Baltic Empire, the problems posed by evil spirits and natives could be controlled.
They didn't delay too long, and immediately reported the information brought by Ansell to Jutland through special magic items, and then waited for a reply from Jutland.
Twenty minutes later, the events of the Ural Mountains were presented in great detail on Semiramis's desk, with the word urgent marked with special symbols.
As usual, Alice stayed in Semiramis's office with a book, and there was no sound in the room except for the sound of writing and pages turning.
"Well, Alice, I remember if you sent a few legendary squads to the Ural Mountains to settle the affairs of the barbarians. ”
Semiramis opened the file, glanced at what had been written on it, and turned to look at Alice, who was lying on the couch, lazy, obsessed with books.
"Barbarians? do you mean the evil spirit behind them? That's a tough thing to deal with, and I don't think I can really solve this problem by relying on those squads. ”
Alice put down the papyrus book in her hand, and on the cover of the book was printed five or six bizarre hieroglyphs, which, translated into lingua franca, meant to explore death.
This is a gift from Tutankhame's hands, and it is an exploration of death in a previous book, although limited by the creator's ability to explore death only from a mortal perspective, but some of the philosophies and ideas in it are still very meaningful.
"Of course, not being able to kill the evil spirit and not being able to solve it are two different things, they can seal the evil spirit and bring it back to Jutland to be dealt with by me. ”
"They're not new recruits for the first time, so don't tell me they can't accomplish such a simple task. Or is that Levi finally losing his patience?"
Alice put down the book in her hand, she got up from her seat, walked over to Semiramis, took the paper, and read it quickly.
"It seems that this evil spirit is much more troublesome than I thought. ”
Through the description on the document, Alice quickly recognized that there were many inconsistencies between this evil spirit and the information of the previous intelligence, at least ordinary evil spirits could still have such vigorous vitality after facing the meteorite.
"This evil spirit may have been left behind by the gods, and it may have a history of more than a thousand years, but the probability of being a god is very low. ”
"This evil spirit has a lot to do with those natives, and it may have been sealed before, but now it is anxious to see that the empire is preparing to complete the unification of the entire northern lands. ”
Semiramis next to him nodded thoughtfully.
"In this way, they must have the means to restrain this demon, or they can control this demon and make it only target us. ”
This is the only way to explain why this demon appeared so suddenly in the Ural Mountains, and did not attack the natives who were close at hand, but the villages on the borders of the empire.
"It seems that our legends have stepped into the trap that they have been prepared for. ”
Alice's face was gloomy, the evil spirit had something to do with those natives, so the previous behavior seemed to be a scaremonger, and at this time, it seemed that this was a trap used to set up against the legend of the empire.
"Levi is even more dangerous than the previous Goliath. ”
"At this time, they must have made preparations in two ways, our army stationed in the Urals cannot move, and there must be a trap behind this trap, it may be to encircle the point to send reinforcements, it may be to attack the east and west. ”
"However, in essence, this is the siege of Wei to save Zhao, but how can Levi have the confidence to believe that the United Kingdom can come back from the dead and turn defeat into victory when containing part of the empire's forces?"
In the story of Wei Wei saving Zhao, Alice once told Semiramis that although she had never heard the names of the countries in the story, and the pronunciation of the names in the story was strange, it did not prevent her from understanding the meaning of Alice's words.
"It seems that our old friend has made contact with Levi, and she has finally found a friend who is willing to help them and to intervene in this war. ”
There was not the slightest hint of a smile in Alice's smile, she had already been irritated by Sigoaney's small actions, even if she knew that war was a matter of life and death, and that it was necessary to do whatever it takes.
"Levi, at this time, the banner of rebellion has been raised, and the scattered tribes have begun to gather and form a coalition to attack our city again. ”
"We easily killed Goliath, and I have to say that we helped Levi by annihilating all the invading tribes in Rus, and it made it easy for him to gain strong enough strength. ”
"Originally, I thought that several other tribes could contain him a little, and looking at the current appearance, those tribal chiefs are all idiots with empty muscles and no brains,"
In order to maintain the stability of the Ural Mountains in the east of the Empire, the Empire also provided a lot of supplies to the large tribes last year while fighting the Attila Empire, so that they could have similar strength, and ensure that there would be no second force like Golia in the Ural Mountains until the Scandinavian problem was resolved.
"The evil spirit matter still needs to be solved, and the Levi matter, if we can, we don't want to open up two battlefields at the same time, if we can achieve victory and simply achieve victory, I am willing to choose the former. ”
Semiramis walked up to Alice, patted her on the shoulder, pulled her to the couch next to her, and poured her a cup of hot tea.
"Well, it's true that even if we have an overwhelming advantage, we still need to reduce the risk of failure if we can reduce it, and the extent to which the empire has grown so far has nothing to do with our previous caution. ”
Semiramis took Alice's hand, and the soft palm reminded people of silk, with a hint of coolness.
Alice squeezed Semiramis' hand and said the solution she had in mind.
"I'm sure our general was prepared for Levi's operation, but that strange spirit still needs my own help. ”
"It's probably a trap, Levi and Sigourney are probably set up and waiting for you to step inside, and it's worth the risk anyway. ”
Alice's importance to the entire Baltic Empire is self-evident, and if Alice can be killed, then this seemingly powerful country will fall apart in a very short time.
The intricate forces within the empire, without such a strong suppression as Alice, will naturally have fierce conflicts for their own interests.
"No, of course I'm going, but I'm not going to go on my own. ”
"Sigomery siblings and Levi, apart from these two, Tutankhame and Deucalion are all likely to make a move, they don't want to see the Baltic Empire take over the entire Northlands. ”
Intellectually and emotionally, Semiramis didn't want Alice to go to the Ural Mountains to solve the problem herself, but she knew that getting Alice to do it was the best, safest, and most efficient way.
"Don't worry, Diocalion won't be involved, don't look at the things he did before, in fact he is a very pure person, he won't do such impure things. ”
"On the contrary, it is almost destined for Tutankhame to stand on our side, she is destined to be our enemy, and now she has understood who her target is. ”
Alice never thinks of others as fools, especially for a guy like Tutanka Meng who can become a pharaoh, even if there is no tangible evidence, she can make a judgment based on what she sees with her eyes and hears with her ears.
The target she was looking for was in the Northlands, and within that limit, there were only a handful of people who were eligible, the most obvious of which was Alice.
To be able to seize the opportunity of the gods to leave the earth and establish such a country in just a hundred years, and also intervene in the strife of theocracy, it is really hard to believe that Alice herself is not suspicious.
"What is likely to come up with the most brutal and fierce battle since Artela, I must be well prepared, and in any case, we will have to maintain the grace of our hosts in the face of the armed "guests". ”
Alice put down the teacup she had already drunk in her hand, she got up and opened the door, and behind the door was another woman who looked exactly like her, and the two of them had exactly the same expression, looking like the inside and outside of the mirror.
"Your mirror technique has been successful?"
Semiramis looked at the two inside and outside the door in shock, she had known more or less about mirroring when she was a student, and then she knew that Alice was able to control multiple bodies.
But now the two Alices in front of her gave her a completely different feeling from before, as if these two bodies were Alice's bodies, not the previous clones that could be discarded at will when they were used up.
"This is something I got from the druids, and it has given me a breakthrough in some research, but this is not a qualified finished product, it can only be said to be a test product. ”
"Sometimes even legends have helpless limits, but in the current main plane, Tutanka Meng undoubtedly has the ability to break through this limit, and she is an opponent worth taking seriously. ”
The two Alices spoke at the same time, and the cascading voices made the scene particularly eerie, if it wasn't daytime, but at night, it would be more like a ghost haunting.
"Semiramis, optimistic about our empire, the matter in the Ural Mountains will be resolved soon, whether it is Levi's problem or the problem brought by Tutankhame. ”
"Alice, I never doubted that you would be able to win this conspiracy, yes, those guys were already losers when they decided to stand against us. ”
"However, we can't just see what is in front of us, our victory over them never means the end of this matter, but rather the beginning. ”
A rare sadness appeared on Semiramis's face.
"We all know that behind Tutanka Meng is the god Ah Meng, and the battle with her will definitely make us officially enter the eyes of the gods, and then we will face more than just mortal threats. ”
"We don't have a choice, Semiramis, it's something that we're going to go through, and when we decide to walk on this path, it's always in our way. ”
"Either we stop moving forward, or we find a way to get out of the way, we have no other way, we have no other choice. ”
The two Alices sat down holding Semiramis' hands on the left and right, and Semiramis's sorrow made her unconsciously agitated.
The mood of the two of them did not calm down for a long time, no matter how Ah Meng is completely different from the gods they encountered in the past, when their efforts are known by Ah Meng, they will need to face all the gods.
Even Brunhilde will not be able to continue to provide shelter to Alice, and will most likely fall into Odin's rebuke for his previous problems, and like their old friend, the god of mischief, will not let go of the rare opportunity to fall into the trap so easily.
No, it's quite possible that Brunhilde will be punished by Odin because of Alice, and the god who can become the god-king has no superficial kindness.
Even if you know that the consequences will be so serious, what can you do?
When Alice decided to embark on this path, she was doomed to have no turning back, either to ascend to the throne and become a true god and become the ruling class in this crystal wall system, or to disappear and have a few records in the history books.
