Chapter 698 The Strategy of the Moment
When Charlene awoke, he saw the unnatural top of the cellar, and the dim light illuminated the passage where he was resting. The exhaustion and mental slackness after casting the spell caused him to fall into a coma, and it seemed that he had slept for a long time, but it was dark after all, and the boy could not immediately notice what time it was night, or if it was still early in the morning. Doubts rippled in his brain, becoming unruly and undisciplined, and after carefully sorting out the information, Charlene slowly reacted and wanted to find Onike.
The big sister who worked so hard to save it won't be out of danger because of Charlene's own reasons, slowly got up, and after avoiding the clutter on the ground, Charlene leaned against the wall to find the voice of the zΓ i in this wine cellar. Sure enough, someone was talking nearby, and it was different from the light source in his location, so it seemed that the person who saved him was staying over there.
Somewhat moved, a little curious, Charlene leaned over to see what was being said in the hall around the corner of the passage. He leaned lightly on top of a wine barrel in the corner, and his unclear consciousness close to the cold wall made him feel much better, and he could hear others clearly without distractions in his heart.
The loudest was the loud shout of an old man: "??? But it's so critical now, our men probably won't be able to hold out for more than twenty minutes, and those damn treemen will take over the lower city, so I'm in such a hurry to find them now. β
His words were quickly echoed by the woman with whom he was talking, a voice that definitely impressed Charlene, because she was Ornik herself. This proves that at least the two of them were saved by Onike's friends, and Onike's life was saved, Charlene is not sure if she can travel through time and space, in short, it is the power brought to her by the guy called the Apostle of Arcane Time, it should always be good to be able to save people.
But it was something that was not too cautious Charlene pushed down from the top of the barrel and made a noise, and the two people in the passage reacted immediately, and they called out at the same time to ask who it was. Here Charlene seems to be thinking a little wittily, and their separate conversation is supposed to be something that outsiders don't want to know. Casually breaking into there and exposing yourself to someone else's secrets is a crisis.
So, Charlene quickly ran in the direction of the return, he just had to pretend that he was still asleep before the other party rushed out, and the less he knew in any strange place, the better. The next unbelievable thing happened, Charlene, who took three steps and made two steps, was actually shortcut by the man in the passage, and the old man who was talking to Onnick was like a ghost and intercepted him through the wall, cooperating with Ornik who chased him out behind him. The three men stood in the narrow, gloomy cavern for a few seconds.
"Hello, haha." Charlene smiled unhappily, which was certainly not enough to stop the awkward scene. In the end, it was Ornik's neat wave of his hand, which made the old man ghostly come over and drag Charlene back to the previous hall, and the boy was quickly placed on the large wine barrel in the hall.
In the bright light, Charlene found that it was not only Ornic that he knew, but also this old man who was a little rude to himself, and it was this old man who had asked Bai Cixi to fly into Liaocheng using the Divine Eagle Machine, but now he appeared here. The young man couldn't help but be surprised by the multiple identities of the old man. This old man is none other than Onike's Shikigami Ashiya Michiman, because he felt Onike's spiritual exhaustion and quickly rushed back, but unfortunately he was still a step too slow, of course, if there was no Charlene's save, it would have been really too late.
Onique clasped his hands to his chest. Smiling very seriously, she was looking forward to this young man and knew that if he did his best, he would not let herself down, so she touched the young man's head and said, "Mage. I think this person is trustworthy enough, and he has followed Professor Bai Cixi all the way, and his experience and practice have been proven just now. It includes loyalty to friends and cherishing affection. β
This statement naturally won the trust of Ashiya Michimitsu, who is a god, because just before Ashiya Michiman arrived, there was a subtle but amazing distortion in the space, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a manipulation of time, this boy seems to have used the legendary arcane method, modifying time to cause different laws of cause and effect, and at the same time being able to use the explosive technique to cover up in a moment, and then use the spell to replace the fake body to keep Onik alive, this moment completed the release of three spells, I have to say that this boy has great potential.
So Ashiya Michiman did not object to his proposal being added to a new audience, and there is a saying that the flame of the crowd is high, especially when the distant army has lost contact and is slow to appear. After listening to a passage, Onique also wanted to say something, so she easily shared this burden as the leader, on the one hand, trust, on the other hand, to reduce the burden, but no matter what it was, it made the boy excited, and he was a good baby all year round watching others work hard Charlene was about to go crazy, thank Onique for giving herself this opportunity.
"Charlene, I'm Onique? Darth Rema, the old man here is Master Ashiya Michiman, a representative of powerful sorcerers in ancient legends, and also my first-level staff officer, we were worried about foreign enemies just now, can you use your own opinion to tell sΓΉ what I should do now? "It's like when Charlene becomes a strategist, Onike's disguised encouragement immediately made the boy nod excitedly, and then Onique simply told Ashiya Michiman what he had reported to him." Actually, not long ago, I lost the battle, to my former subordinates, mostly because this sorcerer drained most of my strength, thank you for saving me so recklessly. However, now the problem comes, Master Ashiya Michiman left to find me, and in the end only a piece of ordinary Shikigami came running, maybe in another ten minutes, those Shikigami will be defeated, and then the treemen will invade the inside of the city wall. And before midnight comes, it will be very difficult to expel the enemy once the walls are breached, so we are very conflicted, especially now that the Dark Lady may be forcibly breaking through our barrier and attacking the innermost part, many professors are outside, and I am worried about my uncle's safety. β
Looking at Onique's worried face, Charlene cautiously prepared to ask many questions before expressing his feelings, and he first asked: "In that case, then the two of you hurry up to the city wall to intercept the enemy, as well as the living corpses in the city, the city's garrison seems to be betting on the edge of the city and the countryside, and the outer city wall defense line has long been abandoned." β
"Yes, because of the living corpses, everyone can abandon the city walls and concentrate on guarding the city area, but we can't." Onique softened his breath, and then said with some unwillingness: "My strength is still not strong enough, and I can't be complacent to say that I can support the consumption of Lord Ashiya Michiman." The Treants are moving forward, if left unchecked???"
"Treants? I remember they helped Dark Incense, and??? Are they bad people? The boy wondered, and secretly felt that he had said something strange. No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I was trying to ask, what if we tried to communicate with those ancient tree people, you see, after all, these guys have helped humans before, so why do you attack this place when there are demons on the border, according to you? β
But Charlene's hasty explanation seemed to plunge him into even greater confusion, and he closed his eyes in some fear, thinking that he was going to be scolded. Unexpectedly, Onique stroked Charlene's head again, and then laughed, she laughed because she didn't dare to think of a solution to this problem, and persuading the tree people was not equivalent to seeking skin with the tiger? In the past, Ornic would definitely scold Charlene for such a risky thing, but now she believes in miracles, but she doesn't have this opportunity to find a reasonable person among the treemen to tell her, she secretly keeps the plan of the alliance treemen, if there is a chance to do this, if someone in this country suddenly does this before, then Onique must rush over and shake hands with that person, and thank that witty and powerful person.
The alliance situation was put aside first, and the current shape did not allow the three of them to have additional manpower to do this, and now Onique asked Charlene to join in and think about how to resist the invasion from the treants and the living corpses everywhere in the city. Onique wanted to talk to the large army that had lost contact, but there was a big obstruction to the docking, and it is possible that the army was also intercepted by a strange interception when it retreated.
In the anxiety, Onique and Ashiya Michi looked at each other, and the old mage calmly smoked his pipe, as if this victory or defeat had nothing to do with him, in fact, as a Shikigami, he only had to do his duty, so the old man didn't do anything else. Charlene was a little scared, but he mustered up the courage to say what he thought: "That??? Why do we have to wait for the regular army outside? We can unite everyone here and defend to the end, after all, ???"
"Unite everyone here? Do you know how much our enemies are creatures that encroach on consciousness? Those living corpses will turn the militia you find into enemies in an instant, and ???"
"But what can be done?" Charlene suddenly shouted loudly, and in the face of Onique's pedantry and stubbornness, Charlene had her own opinions. Standing in the same confused and unbalanced situation, Charlene has the right to fight with Onique to the end, so the young man took a deep breath of momentum, and then said: "Hope is not waiting to come, even if the people who can unite here are vulnerable, even if all hope will become despair, but since devouring consciousness is relative, then we must also think about the situation that everyone is united and will not become a living corpse, half and half of the probability is the capital of the bet at this critical moment, give up the capital and forcibly wait for the unpredictable rescue, It's just tying your hands and waiting for someone else to break through your own defenses. β
After the sound ended, there was a sudden burst of applause in the air, and Ashiya Michiman showed his interest in the action, and it seemed that the debate was lost by Onike. The wry-smiling Onique nodded, and then asked: "Then you come to be the commander, at this time you need to change the way of thinking, what should we do next??? (To be continued......)
