Chapter 32: Framed
"Boss, where is this?"
After escaping the city of Dongding, Theo and Canaan appear on a rocky mountain in the wilderness.
Canaan looked around, it didn't look like the area of Thousand Bones City!
Theo seemed satisfied that he had been able to reach the estimated coordinates.
"South of Dongding City, about a hundred kilometers away!"
Canaan was puzzled, why did he stay in the enemy area if he didn't return to the city, what if he was caught up by Vinci's gang of skeletons.
"Boss, why don't you go back to our Thousand Bones City?"
Theo smiled slightly sinisterly. Compared with Canaana, who still exudes a solemn momentum, he has no feeling at all after the battle of life and death.
"Give Vincy some fun to them. ”
Theo climbed from the top of the rocky mountainside and looked out as if looking for some trace.
Canaan was confused, and he didn't know what his little master was doing:
"Boss, what are you looking for?"
"People from the South!"
Theo's heart was like a mirror.
What does Thousand Bones need most at the moment? There is no doubt that more time is needed to make pre-battle arrangements, and more time is needed for the recovery of the bone dragon.
Exposure is a matter of time and helplessness. But time can be won by means.
The skeletons of the southern realm who were invited to break the barrier together were the tools that could be used to buffer this time. If you use it well, it can even bring miraculous results.
The reason why the southern border was chosen is that it is the closest to the eastern border, so it receives the news relatively quickly, and the arrival is faster, so that it will not delay Theo too much time to stay.
There is another very important reason, and it is also a little bit of a thing that Zhan Gu talked about when he chatted with him on the road before, which he remembered in his heart.
That is, the relationship between the east and the south is relatively bad, and the grievances and hatreds accumulated over the years are countless. Especially after the Great War of the Gods, the southern border has attacked the eastern border many times in recent years.
This time, perhaps a single spark could explode the long-standing bomb completely, causing unpredictable lethality.
When a full-scale war breaks out between the two realms, it will be lively.
Theo sniffed, then beckoned to Canaan:
"Come so slowly, let's go all the way south to find them. ”
......
Two days later, thousands of miles to the south, I finally saw some skeletons in the south as I wished.
The vanguard army in the south was led by three skeleton marshals and led by more than a dozen skeleton generals. This number of people just fulfilled Theo's wishes, no more, no less, just within the control range.
Because to break the seal, only medium- and high-level combat power is required, so there are no skeletons of other levels to accompany you. For the southern border, it is impossible to be so brainless and pour out, and for the eastern border, it has to be defended, and the vanguard army sent is just to find out the news and then make a plan.
At this moment, they were repairing under a mountain rock, and they looked dusty and tired.
After getting the news, they took the lead and ran for nearly 10,000 kilometers in a row, and they really needed a little rest to maintain their full energy state.
Canaan pulled out his bone spear and prepared to attack:
"Boss, how do you fight?"
Theo patted his leg:
"Don't do it! It's too much effort! I'm going to concentrate on unleashing the magic later, and I can't go to war again. When they fall into a dream, you go up and harvest. Remember, leave one skeleton marshal and the others none. ”
Canaan nodded.
"Understood!"
Theo seemed to remember something again:
"No, this one can't fight like that. ”
Canaan was puzzled.
Theo muttered to himself, and then added:
"I used the Nightmare to put them to sleep, and if you forcibly draw out their soul fire and use Soul Devouring to control them, you will be able to better complete the plan!"
Theo thought, how can I say that there are more than a dozen middle-level top combat power! It's really a waste to use it for the game, what Thousand Bones City lacks now is combat power.
Theo closed his eyes, a faint fragrance slowly emanated from his body, and the corners of his mouth opened slightly:
"Darkness - Nightmare!"
The scent wafted to the group of skeletons where they were, and in a matter of moments, the skeletons lay staggered to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
"Kill a Skeleton Marshal and half a Skeleton General, keep the rest and control them with Soul Eater. Don't use bone skills, just use your bone gun to kill so as not to leave traces that can be traced. You devour the soul of the skeleton marshal, and leave the general's to Winter and Sade. ”
Theo's eyes were still closed, and the power of the nightmare around him continued to spread. But he quickly gave instructions to Canaan.
Canaan rushed there, only to see bone spears flying, and without resistance, he completed what Theo had told him in a moment.
Canaan is also a black-bellied master, and deliberately arranged the slaughter scene as if he had experienced a great battle.
When the surviving skeletons woke up, they were also tortured by Canaan's crazy soul-tearing and completely succumbed.
Theo began his layout.
A skeleton general returned to the south to complain, saying that he was besieged and killed by the east, and this invitation to jointly unseal the seal was a conspiracy arranged by the east.
The two skeleton marshals took the remaining skeleton generals to Dongding City to make trouble. One bite is determined that it was done by the marshal sent by Dongding City, and some skeleton marshals of Dongding City can be randomly identified.
If words don't inspire conflict, find a stubble and take the lead.
In this way, no matter what the original truth is, it doesn't matter, Dongding City still makes a move.
Theo also instructed them not to work hard, but to make a little pretense, and to be wounded, and then flee from the city and go in the direction of the south. The most important thing is to save your life, because now these people are their own subordinates.
Canaan watched in amazement as Theo arranged all this, and at the end, he asked:
"These, too, are the knowledge in the reincarnation book?"
Theo gave him a blank look:
"Learn from no teacher, learn a little!"
After they made proper arrangements, they released the void again and returned to the Thousand Bones City.
......
The ensuing events were almost exactly as Theo had envisioned.
Dongdingcheng really didn't make sense of their theory, the tiger-headed skeleton marshal who had a conflict with Theo and them before, was very short-tempered, and he was the first to lead people to move. Lord Vincy was too late to stop it.
The southern ones engaged in a fierce battle with them, and finally left behind the skeleton bones of the two slain skeleton generals, each of them seriously wounded, and fled from Dongding Castle all the way to the south.
The Skeleton Lord of the Southern Realm listened to the report of the skeleton general who came back first, and he was skeptical, he didn't believe that Vincy, who had always been cautious and tactful, would suddenly act so drastically.
Until someone was sent to inspect the scene of the tragedy that Canaan had faked. Those people happened to encounter the injured southern skeletons. The most ridiculous thing is that the tiger-headed skeleton marshal actually chased and killed all the way, and the two sides broke out again at the scene, with casualties.
At this time, Dongdingcheng's crime can be regarded as confirmed.
The lord of the southern realm led the army of the whole territory and pointed his sword at Dongding City.
Half a month later, several offensive and defensive battles were launched outside the city of Dongding. Due to the sealing of Dongding City due to the passage seal, Wen Xi gathered all the top combat forces in the territory in the city, except for a small part sent to attack Thousand Bone City, the difference in strength between the two sides was not large, and the battle situation was once in a stalemate.
Lord Vincy tried several times to negotiate a truce, but was sternly rejected by the Lord of the South.
The new hatred and old hatred of the two sides seem to have to be understood in this battle.
In the end, the Great Skeleton Lord of the North showed up and mediated, and the two sides stopped.
It is said that because the two of them were not convinced, the Great Skeleton Lord of the Northern Territory also made a move on them, and their strength was not good, so they could only obey.
Lord Vincy paid a huge price for this to temporarily appease the anger of the South.
That is, after the seal is lifted and the corpse domain is captured, half of the resources obtained from the eastern realm will be unconditionally ceded to the southern realm as compensation.
As a mediator, it is naturally impossible to be a good man for nothing, and in private, it is unknown what Vincy promised.
Because of the occurrence of this kind of incident, it led to the defeat and death of the marshal of the battle bones, and the strength of Thousand Bone City became the second largest force in the east, except for the slight difference in the number of top combat power, the comprehensive combat power is not weaker than that of Dongding City.
And this important node triggered the entire Skull Domain to fall into a continuous state of war after that, and Thousand Bones City was like a war beast with full horsepower, never stopping to run over every corner of the Skull Domain.
......
And the Zhan Bones and his party, who set off very early, did not know about the series of major events that happened in Dongding City at this time.
Also because of the siege and blockade of Dongding City, from beginning to end, no news has been received.
After they had neatly assembled an army of tens of millions of skeletons, they set off for the Thousand Bones City.
