Chapter 603: Its Secret (13)
A couple of puppies and a tiger stand together, and a couple of wolves stand with a tiger, which is obviously absolutely different.
The former is just more weak minions, and the latter is like a tiger!
And between the wizards and wizards in this world, it is also difficult to completely hide the strength, the strength is strong and weak, through the means of each at a glance, if you can look at the face, it is simpler, especially the weak for the strong, there is almost no possibility of hiding the strength.
So Arthur saw through the strength of the wizards on the imperial side at a glance, this was not Ling Qi's means, but it was so.
Therefore, although the strength of Kun, Lanling and Anqi is not weak, it is really not enough to see it in the whole world. What level these wizards are approximately, and what kind of level they have, many wizards already know it!
So, who is behind the wolf pack and the rat plague?
Someone already has an answer, some ambiguous answers, wizards don't pop out of stone, especially those powerful wizards, never nameless.
Compared with the active trio, such a wizard is the strongest, and this kind of means can be called a killer move, which can really affect the final battle with Arthur, and can add weight to one end of the scale.
Now that the means have been consumed and the identity has been exposed in advance, in the eyes of some wizards, it is actually their own earnings!
But does that also mean that Arthur actually has more hidden hole cards?
In the gloomy sewers, the hunchbacked old woman watched the dead purple rat in front of her vomit blood.
If there is an older wizard here, you might even recognize this evil witch who was once famous, or notorious!
She was subdued by Ling Qi, and her strength only increased by three times, but she already had a very good strength, at least much stronger than the beast whisperer Lanling!
Beside the witch, a golden phantom suddenly appeared.
This old woman, who had an ugly appearance and could scare children into tears, immediately knelt on the ground respectfully regardless of her injuries, and trembled.
Ling Qi looked at her, just pointing indifferently.
The witch immediately trembled like a convulsion, and then fell to the ground foaming at the mouth.
A moment later, she forced herself to her knees again, and respectfully kowtowed a few times towards Ling Qi's slowly fading figure.
This is a heartfelt awe, but it also shows that they are not one.
At this moment, except for Arthur and another wizard, there is still a trace of Ling Qi's will, and the rest of the wizards can indeed no longer be regarded as Ling Qi's clones.
He can put his will into it, and of course he can withdraw it at any time, and the only thing that remains unchanged is his improved strength and his distorted mind.
Mass production of doppelgangers, manufacturing servants, these can be done.
Now, on the one hand, to try not to be discovered by Lynch, and on the other hand, to shift the focus, he began to focus on the development of the other side!
The power of spellcasters in this world has been limited, but it seems that this is not the only way to be extraordinary!
Unintentionally planted willows and willows.
In the palace, five hundred meters below the garden, in a huge cavern that was obviously not naturally formed, countless steel juices were being poured along the track towards a huge smelting pool that emitted billowing heat.
In the center of a pool of molten metal, a ten-meter-tall golden figure was constantly absorbing the surrounding heat and the essence of metal particles.
Since three months ago, it has stopped growing taller and bigger.
However, it weighs more than twice as much as it did three months ago!
The hot steel juice is like molten slurry, and there is no transparency at all.
However, when it opened its eyes, even if it was buried deep in the red juice, the entire dark red space was like two lightning bolts in an instant!
"It's almost the limit!"
Ling Qi thought silently and began to adjust the magnetic field parameters of the golden man.
He walked out of a special path that was not even considered a Shinto, and the end of this path was even higher than that of the caster in terms of destructive power alone.
If it can really come to the end before Lynch is lured out, then in the battle with Ling Qi, maybe it will become a killer feature!
After all, this world is the home field, and any external power is not as reliable as the local one.
And this unique path of strengthening, the unprecedented path of metal life, maybe, really fit with some kind of opportunity and can bring about a huge turnaround.
Ling Qi doesn't care about the cause, only the result.
He is already very close to success, and there is only one step left.
The city of Thor, which was renamed for the second time, is now the only proof left by the Empire's noble Grand Duke Thor, that there was such an important nobleman in the history of the Empire.
However, it will never go back to the past, neither the economic level nor the level of affluence, nor the way it was before it was invaded by the savage Nevas.
The Neiva people have brought a deep memory to the inhabitants of the city of Thor, and although the soldiers did not massacre civilians wantonly, they did not lose anything in the process, especially when they first captured the city.
The army of the Kingdom of Neiva is not a bandit army, and the military discipline is acceptable, but since there are no war reporters, public opinion supervision, etc., those bad things will not affect the general trend of the people in the world, of course, no one cares if it is because of some things, how many civilians will be harmed.
The fundamental purpose of military discipline is to ensure the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the army, so that its command is like an arm, it does not get out of control, does not corrode and rust, and does not hurt itself.
If wanton slaughter can ensure the morale, combat effectiveness, and cohesion of the army, then there are simply not many leaders who will reject these means out of goodness and morality without considering other bad influences, or if other bad influences do not lead to worse results.
Ci is not in charge of soldiers, and Ci here does not mean benevolence, but silly white sweetness. Soldiers are killing, and there is never any difference between good and evil, it is just a difference in senses caused by different positions. If there must be sin, then the killing itself is sinful and irrefutable.
Therefore, after changing hands again, the city of Thor was directly in ruins.
The Imperial army did not do much better than the Kingdom army when it broke through the city of Thor, and all the venting that the soldiers should have was poured out on the civilian population.
The civilians of the defeated side, no matter what their position, instantly become lambs to be bullied, especially when the victorious side also suffers heavy losses.
Of course, this situation cannot really be made public, such as what kind of massacre, population is also an important resource, and it is impossible to get encouragement from the top, after all, this is a reconquista, not a war of aggression, and the upper class also needs to lose face.
But the leaders themselves turn a blind eye to this, do not advocate it, and only acquiesce to it, which can be regarded as connivance. They were more concerned about driving those kingdom bugs out of their country than those civilians thought, and it depended on those soldiers. They want to know if the wizard who caused the terrible rat plague is still in the city, which requires investigation and the cooperation of the people. If you can't get them to take care of it quickly, you have to make them know how to be afraid quickly.
After repeated searches, and at least a three-digit civilian killing, the Empire's leaders finally found a dark laboratory in the sewers of Thor's City.
Immediately after, a muffled sound came from underground.
When the person behind them got closer to the sewer, they could only smell a foul stench, and then they lost consciousness.
Three days later, the Imperial Army, which had already recovered most of the lost ground, began to rest in place. The tenacity of the kingdom's army, as well as the sophisticated magic weapons of the other side, all brought heavy damage to the imperial side. Several wizards from the kingdom side intervened several times, and the soldiers of the empire fully understood what a disaster was.
In the face of that kind of natural disaster-level power, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to do anything.
And the empire, which should be stronger, has fallen into an absolute disadvantage in this regard, except for the strategy battle in the city of Thor, no wizard on the imperial side has been seen at all.
It is only by relying on the absolute superiority of military strength and the superiority of the basic quality of the soldiers that the empire has achieved great victories again and again.
In three days, in just three days, almost half of the most elite troops arranged by the kingdom in the outermost part were crippled, and the remnants of the remnants retreated to the second front in the rear, which was already panicked.
The entire fallen area of the Empire, in turn, was surrounded by the legions of the Empire!
Judging from the area of the occupied area, such an operation is obviously an attack on all fronts arranged in advance, and it is not a lone army in depth or in a roundabout way.
There are many people in the empire, and they do have such confidence.
If there was a war with the Neva Kingdom before, this strategy could also be used, in the eyes of many military experts, the aristocratic group of the Neiva Kingdom had already collapsed, where could there be today's achievements.
The 8,000-strong army defending one side and holding the eight sides are completely different things.
However, under the high-intensity fighting of this all-out offensive, the Imperial side also suffered heavy losses, and almost all the troops that went out were already very tired and needed to rest.
This time the war was really tragic, both sides were fighting to the death, and there was no lack of regional total annihilation, and when the final statistics were made, the main army of the empire was directly disabled by one-third, not counting minor injuries, and the number of seriously injured and dead imperial soldiers reached as many as seven thousand, which is a rather terrible number, which is close to more than twice the loss of the kingdom!
With such heavy casualties, if it weren't for the support of the entire empire in the rear, all legions would have collapsed.
More than 20,000 Imperial troops began to recuperate, and more troops in the rear were constantly replenishing this behemoth, and more rewards and appointments were already on the way, which was supposed to wait until the end of the war, but at extraordinary times, of course, extraordinary means were used to boost morale.
In the face of the behemoth of the Greenland Empire, the myth of invincibility of the Kingdom of Neiva was finally ended, and the turmoil caused by this within the kingdom was far beyond the imagination of some people.
