Chapter 80: Breaking the Game
Roland didn't actually spend the night as Arsu and Marnos thought.
No, to be precise, he himself did stay in his room honestly and didn't go anywhere. However, in the middle of the night, Elukado returned.
She brought a not-so-good piece of news, but it also confirmed Roland's speculation.
That is, there is a problem with the plague that she let spread in the first place.
In fact, when Roland was sure that Edward was still alive, he realized this - his own Twilight Blood was obtained from Edward, and since Edward was still alive, it meant that the Twilight Blood was not inactivated at all.
This means that every mania of Roland is equivalent to adding another life to Edward. All people infected with mania have Edward's blood in their veins, and he can be reborn in all those who are infected, just as he was in Tanas. Unless Roland could kill all the infected, Edward would not have died.
The only good news is that this is not a difficult task for Roland, and it also makes it easier for Roland to kill Edward.
As long as Roland confirms that Edward has resurrected the infected, he can directly evolve the lethal symptoms. At that point, Edward had no chance of survival.
Since his body has been infected, all the larvae made by Edward after that are naturally infected, which is much easier than Roland's whole world to find him.
The only problem is the spread of the plague......
According to Elukado's description, it corresponds to changes in the panel data. Roland could basically conclude that the plague was now spreading underground. Otherwise, the mentor would have come to Roland a long time ago.
Now the mania is only spreading on the side of the underground species—after all, the underground species are even half dusk seeds, they are not the dependents of the saints, and being polluted is nothing. But if Roland allowed the plague to spread to the earth, it wouldn't matter. He's in big trouble.
Roland is still running out for time, and he must kill the body of "Tanas" before the underground seed launches a general attack, forcing Edward to resurrect the underground seed before he has a chance to kill him with the mutant plague. But as soon as the army of the Underground Seeds began to build fortresses on the ground, Roland had to kill them immediately to prevent them from spreading the plague.
In other words, now is the time given for Roland to kill Edward, until the first and second waves of the underground attack are broken and the main force of the third wave destroys Fararuo's third and fourth legions on the frontal battlefield.
Now Roland couldn't help but start glad that he hadn't picked up the water source and adapted to the dry environment. That would at least buy Rolando a little time.
Roland now remembers meeting Maleos when he once said, "All he's waiting for is to die for a crow." Combined with the two points of "the undead have put the plague on Richero", Roland can guess Farina's arrangement.
If Roland is not mistaken. She will definitely send a few or trick a few crows into starting the plague in and around Ricelo. And I'm afraid it's her bloodstain syndrome.
This is not to make trouble for Roland, but to declare war.
She gave a sample of Bloodstain Syndrome to Roland; Then let Roland go and relieve her of the plague, otherwise Roland's own plan to arrange the plague will be disrupted by her; But again, if Roland can succeed in relieving her of the plague. Then she is equivalent to directly letting Roland win.
It's a gentle challenge that feels like you're asking me and I'm answering. In fact, it is a test of Roland's overall management ability. Because Farina's bloodstain syndrome is not like Roland's plague, it is quite lethal. And once the plague has passed the slow contagion period in the early stage, the infection rate will increase exponentially when it enters the middle stage, and Roland will definitely be too late to run around to fight the fire. He could only save some of the people first, and then go to Bansar to establish the sect before he could return with a group of death crows to save the remaining people.
In other words, she asked Roland to test Roland's ability as the Pope by giving up some to save others. And if Roland can catch her directly, it can be regarded as Roland's victory.
But Roland could see it, too. Farina will never throw in the towel easily.
This woman is too proud. Roland was sure that if she ended up losing the game with herself. Then she may not jump over the wall and turn against Roland, but she will not join Roland, but will sacrifice herself to glorify Roland's image - just like "Orlando", she became a "crow witch" and "source of plague" like her in history and was killed by Roland.
If Roland guessed correctly, Falina must have guessed that Orlando was Roland. Roland was even sure that the crow who had been sent to spread the plague must have been someone Roland knew.
It's either Kakarit, or Claudia, or even maybe Toto, and it's not out of the question that Joseph is out of the question.
Roland's biggest problem is that there is no one around. Falina is keenly aware of Roland's biggest weakness, so all the problems he faces are based on this.
For example, in the case of house arrest, how to move Akajihua and Marquis Saya to hunt down Edward is the first question she gave Roland. Whether to choose the red tree flower or the Marquis of Saya is a question that considers Roland's ability to read people and his thinking habits.
The biggest difference between Falina and Roland is that Falina does not treat human life as human life from the very beginning; And Roland still chose to kill on the premise of respecting life.
But there is one rather important point that is overlooked in Farina's game, and that is Elukado. She is Roland's sharpest sword, and she is Roland's most trusted shield, there is no one.
Roland didn't have to send Akajika or Marquis Saya to hunt down Edward, because Elukado could have done better. Of all Roland's plans, the hardest part was always left to Elukado. Because it is sad to say, Roland has no loyalty, no loyalty, no ability, and only Elukado is loyal and capable at the same time. Roland is really no one available.
Counting Joseph, who has always been unfaithful to himself, Kacarit, who is carried away by the origin, Claudia, who is indecisive, Toto, who has no foolish loyalty, and An Ruosi, who has been disconnected. Whoever it is, Roland has to be distracted to take care of them.
Roland sadly found that in the end, these people who had been cultivated by himself for more than a month were not as capable as he was alone. But in the face of dusk, personal combat power is the most useless, and the only use is about anti-decapitation tactics. Instead of increasing combat power, Roland is not as efficient as gathering power.
I'm afraid this situation will be maintained until Roland gets Cylla. Roland has never been a man with managerial skills, but he can find people with managerial skills.
Roland's strength is that he always knows exactly where to find the people he needs, and a hard fist to snatch them up.
As I said earlier, Roland didn't actually spend the night as Arsu and Maleos thought. Although he never left the room, he made Elukado do something not very kind, but very important, before going after Edward, he had Elukado smear the fairy kiss he had made on the dishes in Malnos's house. After breakfast, Roland was given two system prompts for a successful infection.
There is a saying among the mountain people, which Roland likes - just in case. This is the insurance that Roland has arranged in advance. Not only in this event, but in the future, if Roland has a conflict with Dumb Blade, a conflict with Carral, and an attempt to usurp the throne after the formation of a peace council, etc......
Just like the fairy kiss that was used on Macen...... Roland would rather never use this hole card himself...... But, just in case. In case they betray, it will be the collar that will explode.
Now, Roland needs an iron fist that is solid enough to steal anyone. If Roland was as strong as Jupiter IV, he would never be short of men.
Roland likes to say that "all the tragedies in the world are the cause of the lack of ability of the parties." ”
Sighing secretly, Roland walked into Arsu's room with his sword in hand.
