Chapter 64: Svein's Choice
By now that the battle has progressed, the outcome is clear.
Zaun won.
The Noxians were isolated, the Aloi were outnumbered—and in a situation of complete restraint, it was only a death throes for them to continue their efforts.
Svein now knew that his role this time was to be Zaun's whetstone - to cause the Zaun to revolt, scare off the alchemy barons, and then be defeated......
I thought I was a chess player, but I didn't expect it to be someone else's pawn.
Looking at the majestic goddess in the sky, Svein sighed.
It's the feeling again.
Deity...... Extraordinary Strength......
This is true in Ionia, and it is true in Zaun!
This sense of powerlessness in the face of enemies of completely different levels made Svein, who had always been accustomed to being in control, extremely painful.
After all, there are always things that the intellect can't make up for.
It can be said that this time Svein's operation was a complete failure.
Everything went well in the early stage, but as a result, Zu An did not fight down, but instead stimulated Zu An's sense of resistance, which was really a commotion if the fox was not caught.
Now that Svein was convinced, LeBlanc and Delevingne had not disappeared for no reason - those two creatures might have fallen into the hands of the god.
Watching the robots immune to life spells crisscross the Night Raven mage, Svein's head grows.
This is really aimed at yourself everywhere!
I don't know how the information was leaked......
In desperation, Svein finally issued the order to retreat.
If you don't retreat, you won't be able to do it - there will be no chance of winning any more fights.
Although the purpose of the operation was not achieved, Svein had to temporarily abandon this operation, otherwise even this mage group might lose it!
As for LeBlanc, Delevingne and Tamara......
Forget it, we can sit down and negotiate.
Noxus is iron-blooded, but Noxus is not stupid, and Noxus will negotiate things that can't be solved by war, although fighting a war has always been the first choice.
See what this deity will offer!
In the blink of an eye, as the mage group gathered and retreated, Svein had already thought of a lot - even if Zuan's conditions went too far, maybe Noxus would start a full-scale war, and so on.
The Night Raven Mage group here began to retreat, and the Aloy over there was dumbfounded.
How so?!
The doppelganger of the god was dragged by a self-proclaimed oracle, and after the idol in his hand lost his divine power, he couldn't get rid of the bastard boy in front of him, and the Noxians were even more exaggerated, they were chased by a group of soulless robots and lost their armor!
This......
Aloy could already imagine the wrath of the gods.
Perhaps even himself, the high priest, would be thrown into the sacrifice......
Thinking of Naga Kapolos' sacrifice, Aloy shuddered - this is terrible, resolutely not!
So, Aloy began to think about his own way out.
Losing a doppelganger of a god is not a big problem - anyway, this is a temporary inferior product, and even after the pirates give enough tribute, the temple will send such a clone to help, so no one is distressed.
(The pirates didn't need this kind of clone in battle, and Naga Kapoulos sent it each time more to show off his power—after all, he couldn't show up in Valoran at will.) )
What is hard to accept is failure - Naga Kapoulos has never tasted such a failure!
Is there any way to make this failure look less terrible?
The answer is yes.
Make your enemies a little more powerful!
It's not that our army is not strong, but the enemy has Gundam - isn't that bad?
And I also found that Jana's faith has been revived, which is also information!
I didn't send it, I'm typing a message!
Anyway, this doppelganger is additionally made, and there is no memory function, so what happens when the time comes, it's not up to you to decide?
Aloi is undoubtedly devout to Naga Kabolos, but piety itself requires some skill.
Could it be that Aloy can directly say, "Your doppelganger is so stupid, and we will only lose if others taunt us"?
This is not called piety, it is called retardation......
Proper euphemism is not contrary to doctrine, after all, Naga Kapoulos' ultimate doctrine is movement—and by extension, flexibility.
After making up his mind, Aloy found the doppelganger of the god.
When the miniature idol in Aloy's hand touched the clone again, the clone stopped moving.
A visible force returned to Aloy's hands, and Ike couldn't help but take a few steps back - just kidding, Aloy himself was no match now.
However, contrary to Ike's expectations, Aloy looked at Rhodes not far away.
"Mortal, you have chosen the wrong faith, and the gods of the Python Islands will keep an eye on you."
Rod narrowed his eyes slightly—he felt a stirring from his soul as Aloy's words spoke, as if a warlock was trying to soul-drain himself.
However, Rhodes resisted this attack from the soul.
"I am Khadgar, the Apostle of Cana, the Walker of the Winds of Change - remember my name, False God!"
"You!"
Rod's false god almost caused Aloy to go berserk on the spot, but she finally held back.
"Very good - hopefully you'll be able to keep your teeth sharp when the sea floods everything!"
……………………
When the sun was fully rising, the battle was finally over.
At this time, the sea fog had already completely dissipated, and the entire Zuan was extremely clear in the sun.
It's a mess.
The Zuan Self-Defense Forces won the battle to defend Zuan.
But the cost of the war was that nearly half of the entire Zaun was reduced to ruins.
Although the majority of the Zaun people had taken refuge in the shelters, and the main battlefield was far from the residential areas, the casualties in the Zaun were not heavy - but the damage to the property was completely incalculable.
Nine out of ten alchemy factories.
A large number of crystal mines have collapsed.
The living facilities are basically finished.
The houses were all cut down to less than three floors.
Zuan still has a long way to go before production resumes.
Rod, who goes by the pseudonym Khadgar, also needs to pretend to be an oracle for a while.
However, when the Self-Defense Forces triumphed and returned to the shelter, a bad news instantly ruined everyone's good mood.
"Piltover stopped food aid and offered a series of quid pro quo for aid in restoring production in Zaun."
"Condition...... It's harsh. ”
————————
At the heart of Naga Kapolos' teachings is movement, from which there are many other points to derive, such as change, flexibility, and turmoil......
Because of this, Naga Kapoulos and the undead of Shadow Isle are mortal enemies - Naga Kapoulos hates eternity.
