Chapter 1323: We Caught the Enemy's Tail
As the thirteen "kings" were awakened from their slumber one by one, the casters of the Darrant Expeditionary Force captured the anomalous energy fluctuations with great accuracy, and each one became stronger than the other.
Eventually, the leader of the group of spellcasters, a male Darrant, appeared in the central tower of the Magic Fortress.
Without saying any nonsense, he directly showed a map of the continent supported by illusions, and said with a sneer: "Your Excellency the Commander, I think we have caught the enemy's tail. ”
"Oh, where are they going next?"
The boy looked up at the huge map, his eyes staring at one of the dots, as if he already had the answer in his mind.
"Of course it's here! they're putting the world at the heart of the curse of the final countdown to death! They must do whatever it takes to save those remaining lives and make sure the entire planet doesn't die. The spellcaster's leader lifted his slender finger and tapped it lightly on the illusion.
This point is none other than the city-state of Archie, the first port city to be slaughtered by the Curse.
But right now, the city-state of Archie has already given birth to a large number of twisted monsters under the influence of the root of the terrifying curse.
The most powerful of them, even the expeditionary force, must deal with it carefully, otherwise it will definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Hehe, where the dream begins? sounds a little exciting, doesn't it?" the boy grinned.
The spellcaster leader nodded with interest: "This is also something that can't be helped! we can put up with the death of this world, and then mine and plunder resources to their heart's content, but they can't, they must make sure that this planet is full of life, otherwise what's the point of winning?"
"Yes, no intelligent life can survive on its own until it reaches a certain level. They need to communicate, they need different ways of thinking to learn from each other, otherwise they will slowly walk into a dead end and see no way to a higher place. Anyway, it doesn't make sense to talk about that now, tell me what's the best response you've come up with?"
For some reason, the boy immediately shifted the conversation to the upcoming decisive battle.
He undoubtedly knew very well that the root of the curse was actually a signal to provoke a decisive battle, forcing the opponent to come to the forefront.
So not only did he know that it was a decisive battle, but his opponent also knew it.
So in this battle, both sides will actually play their hole cards and do their best to eliminate each other, and there is no luck at all.
"It's very simple! Now that we know where the enemy is, the best solution we have come up with is a magic attack from a very long range. Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, summoning meteorites, and all the large-scale catastrophic magic that can be used can now be used. I believe that in this harsh environment, the other party will not be able to concentrate no matter what they do. On top of that, as far as I know, as more and more lives die from the curse, the curse root has become so powerful that even in the face of it, the enemy will probably have to do everything in his power. The leader of the spellcasters did not hide his schadenfreude at all, and expressed it clearly on his face.
Although at first, he was adamantly opposed to the use of the Contagion Curse, believing that it would destroy many valuable resources and render the whole world lifeless.
But when the bell of the decisive battle was about to ring, he immediately changed his attitude.
After all, just from the data obtained from observations, the power of the thirteen "kings" has obviously exceeded the records in the database.
You don't need to ask, you know that the other side is afraid that the other side has already digested and absorbed all the benefits obtained from the previous expeditionary force, and once the battle is due, it will inevitably be a bitter battle, and any suspicious method used to weaken the opponent has become a good way at this moment.
"What do you mean...... We're only in charge of distraction, and then sit back and wait for them to be killed by the Cursed Root?" the boy's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"That's right, isn't that the easiest way to solve trouble, isn't that your usual code of conduct?" replied the spellcaster's leader, of course.
Unfortunately, the boy shook his head and said, "No! I think you have misunderstood something." It's true that I like to take the easy way to solve problems, but that doesn't mean I don't like to face challenges, especially against a bunch of guys with interesting hole cards hidden. Use your mind and think about how they were able to destroy the last expeditionary force, and why do they think that we will not retaliate again in a short time? Rely on strength? Obviously not! My guess is that some of them foresaw the future, at least some part of it. ”
"Predicting the future?!! do you really believe that magic can predict the future?" the male Darrant spellcaster's eyes widened, and his whole body fell into a state of stupor.
You must know that in the complex and ever-changing magic system, although there are spells that claim to be able to predict the future, the real situation is not at all as omniscient and omnipotent as people think.
Most of the time, the effect of a foresight spell is simply an affirmative or negative answer within the priority question.
For example, if a person divides his future, he can ask if his life will be in danger during an adventure in a few months, and then he can ask whether the danger is from the outside or from within.
In this way, he knows whether he needs to guard against external enemies or his teammates.
As for who exactly needs to be guarded against, it is impossible to get a definite answer.
All in all, prophecy is not so much about predicting the future, but rather about using one's own wisdom to analyze through some certain clues, and finally arrive at a judgment that is relatively close to the truth.
Interestingly, on the planet Mocha, where the magical civilization is highly developed, there has never been a true prophet, so the Darrants are not very interested in language magic, and only a very few people will be interested in the ethereal fate and invest a lot of time and energy in research.
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I don't know if there is a real prophet among the enemy, but I can't help but believe all sorts of facts in front of me. Okay, let's go down and prepare, this time we have to do more than just interfere, but go all out to destroy the last enemy and ensure that this world will never have the strength to resist in the future. ”
With that, the boy waved his hand, signaling for the male Darrant to leave.
"As you wish. I'll put the casters in combat readiness and deliver the heaviest blow to the enemy at any time. ”
The latter bent down and bowed deeply, then turned and disappeared beyond the gate.
