Volume 4: The Swan Song (Remastered) Chapter 46: Planning

The expeditionary force to conquer the Silver Pine Forest has been overwhelmed at the beginning, almost withdrawing from Nanhai Town, and now slowly reversing the decline and accumulating strength, such a change has undoubtedly greatly excited the various human kingdoms and the Holy See of Light. In addition to Dalaran, the entire human race was praised for this, and they all said that Raphael was worthy of being favored by the Holy Light, and the Holy See of Light also gained momentum.

On the other hand, Dalaran is the magical capital. Because the root cause of this werewolf plague is attributed to Dalaran, after all, the Book of your was stolen due to the lax guarding of those archmages, and the leader behind the werewolf plague was the archmage Arugao who was born in Dalara and then defected, plus when the expeditionary force fought bravely in the Silver Pines Forest and the Hillsbrad Hills, Dalaran was indifferent to this, and did not officially send mage troops to participate in the expedition from beginning to end, so even His Majesty Erinus, the emperor of the Arnas Empire, who is more respectful to Dalaran, There are quite a few complaints about this. This made the Kenrito Council, which ruled Dalaran, very frustrating, and it is said that Speaker Antonidas had been angry about it several times.

But Yu Bin didn't see it that way, in fact, Dalaran didn't close the door and didn't ask about the world during this time, and it was definitely not a joke that some people said had nothing to do with themselves, hanging high, or wanting to see the Bright Holy See. On the contrary, the reason why Dalaran did not devote his strength to the expedition to the Silver Pine Forest was precisely to better protect the entire human race.

From the narrative of the past, Yu Bin keenly discovered a fact, that is, since the expeditionary force left the Ashwood Kingdom and fought with the werewolves, until now, the Lich Martan Golden Coffin hiding on the border of the Virgil Kingdom has not made any big noise.

Yu Bin never believed that this was because the revenge-bent miser lich had changed his temper, and it could not be because of the loss of Thassarian, a heroic subordinate, that caused the lack of power in Maltan's hands, and the only explanation was that Dalaran had been staring at this dangerous lich during this time, so as not to cause too much turmoil in the entire Virgil kingdom.

Compared to the Ashwood Kingdom, the territory of the Virgil Kingdom itself is not very large, only four provinces, but its status among the human race is not low. On the one hand, the Kingdom of Virgil is the largest supplier of gemstones in the human country, and its annual supply of various types of crystal, mercury, and gemstones accounts for nearly 80% of the total share, and is an indispensable and important source of resources in the human race. On the other hand, the location of the Kingdom of Virgil is very critical, once an uncontrollable plague of the undead breaks out in its territory, the scope of the harm will expand rapidly, affecting more than half of the human countries, and having a great impact on the economic development and industrial and agricultural activities of the entire human race.

If the entire human race is compared to one person, then the werewolf disaster in the Silver Pine Forest can only be regarded as a knife on the arm of this person, although it hurts, but it is not fatal. And once Maltan successfully created a large number of undead plagues in the Kingdom of Virgil, it was like pouring a large bottle of poison into this person's stomach, and if one was not handled well, it would be a small life.

It can be seen that Dalaran is not as useless as the outside world has rumored, and the reason for not sending enough mages to support the expeditionary force may be partly because they want to see the jokes of the Holy See of Light, but more because the affairs of the Virgil Kingdom occupy too much of their energy.

Some people may say that Maltan is just a new lich who has not been inherited for a long time, how could such a big force as Dalaran be eaten to death by that miser, and he has not been crushed to death until now. In fact, if you think about the situation in the real world, you can understand it. Aren't terrorists capable of carrying out suicide attacks? Then why did the United States fight the war on terror for several years, and even Uncle bin Laden was killed, but it failed to eradicate this matter?

It's too easy for a thief to get his hands on it once. If you want to make a thief fail once, you don't know how much effort you have to put in.

However, Yu Bin judged that this kind of hide-and-seek behavior between Dalaran and Maltan may not last long, and it is still the same sentence, only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. As the expeditionary force continues to accumulate forces in Nanhai Town, the day of the attack on the Silver Pine Forest may not be too far away, and neither the Holy See of Light nor Arugao will have any objections to the final outcome of this upcoming war, the expeditionary force will be victorious, and Arugao and his shadow werewolves will be expelled from the main plane. Behind the expeditionary force stood the entire human race, which was an extremely powerful force, even if Arugao could resist this attack, it would be impossible to continue to resist the second and third times. And the various human kingdoms and the Holy See of Light will never allow this expedition to fail, if 50,000 soldiers are not enough, then add another 50,000, and if it is not enough, then add another 100,000.

Once the sudden outbreak of the werewolf plague has been extinguished by the Expeditionary Force, it will be Maltan's turn, and the Expeditionary Force, with its victory and glory, will not mind destroying the lich on their way home to add another piece of merit to their military annals. Dalaran would also be more than happy to solve this serious problem once and for all.

Therefore, Yu Bin believes that as long as Maltan's brain has not completely turned into mud, he will definitely seize this last opportunity to complete his revenge at all costs and completely destroy the entire Virgil Kingdom. And this is also what Yu Bin wants, he doesn't care about the final result of the Virgil Kingdom, but he can't watch Maltan being killed by Dalaran's group of archmages like this.

The [Soul Touch (Pseudo)] he got from Maltan has not yet become a real [Soul Touch], and the wealth accumulated by Martan, a miser, Yu Bin doesn't want to give up so simply, don't forget, there is still a share of Yu Bin in theory.

However, he can't achieve the above goals on his own. Today's Maltan is no longer the lonely man who hibernated in the Felta Empire, according to the information provided by Thassarian, this new lich has not only personally transformed him into an undead knight, but also promoted several hero-level subordinates, although they are all just appearances, but after all, they can be regarded as entering the realm of high-level combat power, plus the undead troops accumulated so far, you can imagine how difficult it will be to plan this matter.

Fortunately, Yu Bin will never be blinded by interests, and if he changes those ordinary players, I am afraid that he will rack his brains to find a way to swallow all the benefits of this, but Yu Bin will not do this, if he finds that this cake is too big to eat alone, he will not hesitate to give up those parts that are relatively not very delicious, and then find a way to swallow the most essential part into his stomach.

It just so happens that now there are two helpers who can share the cake with him!

After carefully calculating the gains and losses, Yu Bin came to Kel's room again the next day, and Les Frost and Kel'thugad looked at him curiously, wanting to know what Yu Bin was asking for so quickly.

"I learned about what had happened in the intervening years." Yu Bin detailed all his speculations and analyses about Maltan and Dalaran, "I want to know, what do Lord Kel'thugad and His Excellency Les think of the Lich of Maltan Golden Coffin?" ”

The two cunning lichs looked at each other, seemingly unprepared for Bin's question, perhaps thinking that the little one had come to ask about the big plan again.

"That idiot doesn't deserve to be called a lich at all! I am really embarrassed that the inheritance of the Great Sorcerer Griman would fall into the hands of such a fool! Les didn't know that the fact that Maltan had obtained the inheritance was completely caused by Yu Bin, and he and Kel'thugad thought that Maltan was just lucky enough to find the true inheritance of the Great Wizard, after all, there were too many inheritances left by Griman, who knew which one was true and which was false.

"In that regard, I'm pretty much in the same way as Dia's old stubborn views. Martan's revenge on the Kingdom of Virgil was only his personal act, and the Psychic Academy neither supported nor opposed. Truth be told, his success will not have much of an impact on the situation on the entire continent, and his defeat will not harm me or the entire undead. "Of course, I never thought that the fool's revenge would succeed. ”

Yu Bin nodded: "I think so too." Maltan's defeat was doomed from the moment he chose to actively transform into an undead. His body did become undead, but his soul remained the miser tax collector. Therefore, the undead will never really accept him, and his revenge will naturally not be helped in any way. ”

"Very good insight!" Kel'thugad expressed his appreciation for Bin, he didn't expect the little undead to have such a deep understanding of this, "So what do you want from this failed revenge?" The reason why you asked to see me is probably to use the power of the Psychic Academy to help you gain a benefit in the upcoming turmoil in the Kingdom of Virgil, right? ”

"I don't deny it, but what I want to say is that this upheaval, if it goes as we intended, will be of great help to the great plan that you and Your Excellency Rice have planned."

A good salesman should first sell himself, and only by making the customer think that you are standing with him will the customer be willing to listen to you. In this regard, Yu Bin has already done it. His performances so far have led Kel'thugad and Les Frost to think that the undead is a pawn worth exploiting. It's a good start.

Secondly, a good salesman should not blindly promote the product, but should promote the benefits and value that the product will bring to the customer. Only then will the customer think that you are not tricking him into buying this thing, but that you are planning for him to get more out of it, and not just pay money for a useless thing.

Therefore, Yu Bin needs to find a way to convince Kel'thugad that participating in this impending upheaval will be of obvious help to their grand plan to seek the Source of Darkness, only then will the two lichs be willing to participate in the competition, and Yu Bin will be able to benefit from it.

"Oh? Interesting statement! Could it be that if Martan succeeds in revenge, will that fool still help us deal with Rose the Spider Goddess in the future? ”

"On the contrary, I think we should find a way to make this revenge of the Maltan Golden Coffin fail faster!"

Yu Bin's answer finally made the two lichs obviously interested: "You have successfully attracted me!" Go on, little one! ”

"As you say, it is impossible for Martan's revenge to succeed, because no one but himself will be able to benefit enough from his success. But you and Lord Rice probably never thought about what we could gain from Martan's revenge if it failed. ”

"I don't think we'll have anything to gain from that idiot's defeat other than a lost dog's waste! Not even I believe that Dalaran will let that idiot leave the kingdom of Virgil alive. Kel'thugad shook his head, saying that he did not believe Yu Bin's words.

Hooked! If it weren't for the two old monsters in front of him who didn't know how many years they had lived, Yu Bin really wanted to laugh out loud.

"Why do we want to turn him into a lost dog? I said, we should find a way to make Martan's revenge fail as soon as possible! Yu Bin forced a smile and continued: "Of course, the lonely Martin is useless, and his combat power is not even comparable to Dean Gardin. But if he fails while retaining a certain amount of strength, then I think this lich is still worth using. For example, guide him to the underworld, forcing him to recover his strength from those dark elves in order to make a comeback. ”

Even though it was only a few words, and there was not even a detailed plan, who were Kel'thugad and Les Frostwhisper, two real old monsters who had planned many conspiracies in their lives, and who now even dared to attack the gods. Yu Bin believes that as long as they are given a direction to think, these two old monsters will be able to make the whole plan seamless!

The reason why the two of them hadn't thought about this aspect before was entirely because the style of the Entagri world had always been simple and straightforward. It is impossible to kill you half-dead, and then give you a chance to make a comeback, and finally make a counterattack. Therefore, in the eyes of Kel'thugad and Les Frost, since Dalaran wants to get rid of Maltan's henchman, it is naturally impossible for this lich to survive, and the most optimistic result is to turn him into a single commander, and even as long as there is a chance, Antonidas will definitely wipe out Maltan's soul from this world.

Yu Bin's suggestion gave the two a new idea. That's right, if Maltan loses too quickly, Dalaran will not have time to destroy all the forces under this lich's hands, and once Maltan escapes, he will naturally have the capital to make a comeback.

And what Yu Bin said is actually very simple, no matter whether Maltan will go to the Virgil Kingdom again after his comeback, as long as he wants to restore his strength, it will inevitably infringe on the interests of some people. And for Kel'thugad, it would be great if some of them included the dark elves.

At that time, there was a rebellion within the Koman family, and they tried their best to seize the dominance of Mosso, Black, and even the entire Dark Elves; Outside, the army of the undead of Maltan is eyeing the enemy, trying to continuously suck blood from the body of the dark elves to strengthen their undead army. Under the internal and external troubles, the spider goddess Rose is bound to spend a lot of energy to deal with these things, which will naturally reveal greater flaws, which will be of great benefit to Kel'thugad and their plot to seize the source of the shadow.

"I have to admit once again that I really underestimated you! Bub! The soul fire in Kel'thugad's eyes grew up again, "Tell me, what are your plans!" ”
