Chapter 237: Thousands of Years of Confrontation
Amos has been getting a little hot lately.
First, the messenger reported back, and with all the preparations, the second assassination of the Lord of the Fairy River was declared a failure, and both the Sko Mage and the Crystal Slayer were captured.
Target, unscathed.
It made him a little incredulous.
You must know that due to the last defeat, in order to ensure that this assassination was foolproof, he even gave one of the foundations of the Purgatory Collar - the Ring of Imprisonment to Scott for temporary use.
He believed that with the imprisoning aura to fix the target, coupled with the invisible assassination of the crystal killer, no one would be able to dodge.
But what he didn't expect was that the operation actually failed.
The Ring of Imprisonment has also become someone else's trophy.
"Damn it!"
The main city-level territory is not infinitely rich, and many magical equipment are inherited, and if you lose one, you will lose one.
Even a few earth knights, in his heart, are not as important as the Ring of Imprisonment.
This assassination can be regarded as a loss of both people and money.
Moreover, he could still imagine the blow that defeat would take to the reputation of the Purgatory Lord.
A main city, planted in the hands of a city-level lord twice in a row, is bound to become a laughing stock in the star world.
The assassination failure had already made him very angry, but before he could digest the news, it didn't take long for the news to come that the subordinate territory of Twilight Territory had been conquered and became a subsidiary territory of the Xianhe Territory.
"How can it be!"
This is simply a complete disregard for the great Purgatory Lord.
Since he inherited the Purgatory Realm, no one other than the Holy Camp has been able to make him so angry.
Looking at the followers in the hall, Amos said with an indifferent face: "You are all the elites of the territory, and you are also the nobles of the territory, let's talk about it, how should we deal with this Lord of the Immortal River who has failed the territory twice?"
He decided to hear what his followers had to think first.
Look at me, I look at you, everyone knows that Amos is angry, and no one wants to be the first to touch the mold.
After a long time, a noble official stood up and replied: "Your Highness, the existence of the Immortal River Territory is a huge threat to us, but the marginal sea area is far away from the core sea area, and if we go on a long-distance expedition, some of the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Listening to what he meant, it seemed that he was ready to uncover the matter.
However, the aristocratic official changed his words: "The first two failures are just that we didn't pay attention to the Lord of Xianhe, but after this, we have basically understood his hole cards, if we do it again next time, take all his hole cards into account, then we will definitely succeed." ”
"I've already failed twice, how can you guarantee that the third time will be successful, and if you fail again, how will you make the face of the territory deal with yourself?" another noble official shook his head, "I think the safest way is to think long-term." ”
"How do you think about the long term?" asked Amos.
"The Immortal River Lord is a heretic, and the rise speed is too fast, if they are not stopped, no one can guarantee whether they will become the next main city, and then participate in the competition for the star world. So, we should contact the Divine Camp, and maybe there will be a common language on both sides in this matter. ”
His meaning is already clear.
In other words, in the context of the confrontation between the two camps, the Purgatory Territory could not draw much strength, and could only rely on the means of assassination, but the means of assassination have been proven to be infeasible.
Therefore, the only way is to cooperate with the Purgatory Lord in this matter and jointly send more Earth Knights to ensure that the Immortal River Lord is crushed.
Of course, just by cooperating in the matter of the Immortal River Lord, the situation of confrontation between the two sides will not change.
"It has long been impossible to collect all the materials for promotion to the main city in the Star Domain World, and it will never be possible for the Immortal River Leader to be promoted to the main city. Another aristocratic official retorted.
"It's said that the great Purgatory Realm doesn't need to cooperate with the enemy. ”
"If you don't cooperate, how will the Lord of the Immortal River deal with it?"
"The other side has taken possession of our dependent territory, and we must respond with iron and blood!"
The aristocratic officials discussed it with a lot of mouth, some advocated cooperating with the old rival to destroy the Xianhe Territory together, while others believed that the Xianhe Leader could not be promoted to the main city, the threat was limited, and it was not advisable to cooperate with the enemy.
The two sides went back and forth, arguing fiercely.
Amos, the Infernal Lord, only felt a buzzing in his ears, and his heart was irritable.
Both sides have a point.
If you want to solve Lin Xiao smoothly, the success rate of the assassination is very low, and you can only cooperate with the Holy Camp.
But the thought of cooperating with the enemy made him undecided.
Moreover, it is true that the Immortal River Leader cannot be promoted to the main city, and the threat is always limited. If a large army is sent to conquer, not to mention how much strength can be drawn, the manpower and material resources required for a long-distance expedition to a powerful city-level territory are also astronomical.
Half an hour later.
Amos coughed lightly and stopped the argument in the main hall: "Inform the Raging Leader and the Maple Leaf Leader to carefully defend against the possible attack of the Immortal River Lord, and dispatch some of the knights to support them." In addition, to increase the intensity of intelligence infiltration, I need to know whether the hole cards of the Lord of the Immortal River have been fully exposed, so as to ensure that we can kill with one blow next time!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
"Obey Your Highness's orders!"
"Glory favors the Helllord, and any heresy will eventually perish!"
"May it be the spear and sword in the hands of His Highness!"
Now that the lord has made a decision, there is nothing to change, as a follower just has to do it.
In this way, the confusion brought by Lin Xiao made Amos only deal with it in a slightly conservative way, and there was no thunderous momentum of the main city-level territory at all.
Of course, this is also because today's Xianhe Collar has long developed into a behemoth, and it is no longer an object that anyone can manipulate at will.
When the meeting was over, and the nobles departed, Amos sat on his throne and did not get up for a long time.
"An ignorant fly who dares to repeatedly provoke the great Infernal Lord, sooner or later I will tie you to the gallows and let you know the price of arrogance!"
Amos's gaze looked out of the temple gate, and his face became more and more gloomy.
"Damn the Holy Camp, the two sides have been guarding each other for thousands of years, and they have consumed too much manpower and material resources, and if we can put an end to this boring confrontation, it will be the greatest feat in thousands of years. ”
"But I can't rush it, I have to take it slowly, I need to test the ideas of Augustine, Boggs and Bart. ”
Augustine, Holy Lord, Earth-level Peak Knight.
Boggs, Lord of Radiance, Earth-level peak knight.
Bart, Lord of the Aegis, the pinnacle knight of the earth.
These three people are the lords of the three main cities of the Holy Camp.
Lin Xiao naturally had no idea about Amos's thoughts,
At this time, he was busy dealing with territorial affairs.
