Chapter 57: The True Plan
The ensuing battle is not worth mentioning.
After being severely wounded by Charlotte's Empty Court, Ragnard, immersed in joy, ignored the lurking danger and was defeated by Wycliffe, Nowell, and Jacob after only a few minutes.
Eventually, Nowell undermined Ragnard's outer defenses, and Jacob suppressed its core, leaving Wycliffe to deliver a fatal blow with divine fire. Overpowered by Charlotte's sea of flowers, the transcendent nature of her ugly flesh could no longer make a splash.
Charlotte didn't participate in the final siege, and although the Empty Court was a pseudo-root spell he had conceived for years, he had never reached the Transcendent Realm at that time. Imperfect spells had put a huge burden on him, and to be honest, if it weren't for the assistance of the Vientiane Eye, he wouldn't have been able to use this pseudo-root spell with great potential and faintly beyond the legend with his current strength.
Ragnard eventually wailed to his death, rolling around like a child in the flames, trying to escape to the bottom of the ocean several times, but as it grew smaller and smaller, it was lifted up like a baby by Wycliffe, and finally it could only come to an end.
At this time, the Abomination Legion patrolling the outskirts of the Abomination Land happened to come back to help, and seeing their king wailing and dying in the divine fire, these simple-minded monsters not only did not have fear, but roared and swarmed up. However, without a leader, they can only fight on their own, even if it is a monster that claims to be a natural disaster in the multiverse, it is only as ridiculous as a baby in the face of an oversized existence like Wycliffe.
Charlotte gave Wycliffe the order to slaughter, and the order allowed the Iron Giant to completely free himself, as if he had gone back thousands of years to the time when he destroyed a country, and was enjoying the joy of killing.
When Charlotte gave the order, Nowell seemed to try to stop it, but Jacob shook his head at him.
Charlotte noticed this scene, and because he still had to rely on the two of them next, he had to patiently explain, "Knight Nowell, the real battle has just begun. We've nearly ruined the Abomination, and we're going to face a frantic comeback from Malthus and Simon. ”
Nowell's face flickered, and he seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't answer, just looked at Jacob on the side.
"And you're not going to leave, are you?" Jacob snorted, "because you know there's no point in leaving, and with two major events in a row, the Basin of Cry and the Land of Abomination, Malthus and Simon can guess that Ramsay is not the only Legend among you, and they will never scatter the Legend again." They're going to send cannon fodder to deal with the prisoners, oh yes, maybe it's almost settled by now, which means that even if you leave, you will have nothing to hide in the Far North with so many people. ”
"It's us. Charlotte replied, "We're in this group, my partner. Especially after Ragnard's death, we became closer partners. ”
Jacob did not respond to Charlotte, but continued to analyze, "Not only that, but the withdrawal at this time will have even worse consequences. That is, after seeing the fall of Ragnad the Abomination, Sergei, the plague dragon and Marley, the king of bones, will also realize that they can't stay out of the situation, and if they want to take sides, it is obvious that Malthus and Simon, who have a huge advantage, have a better chance of winning, right?"
"Oh?" said Charlotte, smiling, "and what do you think we should do best?"
"Do you still want to test me, you wicked bastard!" Jacob scolded, but he couldn't see the meaning of the turn, and he continued, "Let me compare the current situation. In terms of legendary power, we have you, Nowell, Claire, Ramsay, and Wycliffe on our side, plus my half-step legend, which can barely be counted as six. ”
Half-step legend?!
Charlotte was impressed by Jacob's cheekiness, but of course, he didn't show it, so as not to fall out with his allies at this critical moment.
"And the alliance of Malthus and Simon...... With the addition of the two of them, a legend of Sky City, the banshee Meng Lisa, who may exist, and not counting the plague dragon Sergei and the king of bones, Marley, who cannot be judged at the moment, their legendary power is only four. ”
Vivian and the other three young people, who were listening on the side, were immediately overjoyed when they heard this. But soon, Jacob poured another scoop of cold water.
"But that's just the legendary power to say. In fact, the alliance between the two of them has mastered the power of the current Soul Seat eight or nine times out of ten, and there are countless master-level powerhouses under their command. The so-called ants bite more elephants, not to mention that the master level cannot be called ants at all, I said at the beginning, if we talk about the comparison of forces, we are still at an absolute disadvantage. In terms of odds, our win rate is still less than 20%. This is the result of killing Ragnard the Abomination ahead of time, and if we hadn't tricked the simple-minded Ragnard into a successful sneak attack inside the Abominations, the odds would not even be half of a percent. From that point of view, we really have a great victory!"
"You're not wrong at all!" Charlotte admitted. Jacob, who was chattering in his heart, was impressed, he and Claire didn't reveal his real plan at all, but he vaguely felt that the man in front of him who was a few years older than him already knew their plan well.
He had to sigh that this generation of Soul Seat King Electors was really an elite wizard that was rare in a century.
"And what are you going to do?" Charlotte asked again.
"Listen to my analysis first, you fraudulent!" Jacob stretched out his index finger and shook it, scolding again before continuing, "so in order to win that line, you must concentrate your superior forces and defeat each one. But Malthus and Simon are not fools, they will not let you continue to fight guerrillas. At this point, all you can do is throw a bait, a seemingly delicious bait for them to take the bait. At this time, Malthus and Simon, whose forces were relatively scattered, would definitely rush to the Land of Abomination from all directions in order not to be defeated by each other, and in order to seize the opportunity to complete the battle. ”
He finally concluded, "You want to encircle the point and send reinforcements! Claire and Ramsay are not arranging a back road at all, they are choosing a battlefield so that the other side can ambush Malthus on the way back! And we are the decoy that has been abandoned, even if we are not strong, we have to show the craziest side to drag the enemies who are coming from all directions, so that they mistakenly think that this is the main battlefield you have arranged!"
Although the three young men had been involved in the formulation of the final plan for a long time, they still had an unconcealed panic on their faces when they heard the bad analysis of the situation again.
Charlotte applauded slowly, smiled and nodded, "You're not right at all, it's like you've personally participated in the formulation of the plan, and you've got the general framework right." So, what do you think of the plan? Do you want to give us a fight? As a friendly reminder, I think you have no way back now. ”
Jacob grinned, "Of course the plan is great, I was able to analyze this plan based entirely on the fact that I knew that you and Claire were both legends." Reasoning from common sense, no one would have thought that you and Claire had just stepped into the Nine Rings for two years, and they had broken through the legend one after another. It's because Malthus and Simon lack key information that they mistakenly think that this is where your absolute workhorse is. If I'm not mistaken, you must have misled the banshee Lisa when you were in the Wailing Basin, right?"
"It's not misleading, it's just a mistake. Charlotte smiled in response.
