Chapter 291: A Gradual Change
When the sky overhead returned to normal, the Milky Way and the night returned to normal, the terrifying declaration of the gods was completely over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Not to mention the impact of this declaration of the gods, everyone present may feel the smell of the storm, except for Heloise who knew a little before, even I didn't expect Ayer to be so decisive and resolute, so it is clear that he has broken with the Holy Light system.
"The consequences? What is the relationship with the Light Side? Do whatever you want, do whatever you want, and I'll give you your back. ”
Dropping these words, Aye's avatar disappeared without a trace.
Boss Aye's ease and ease are sometimes speechless, but I must also admit that he does have the strength to not be afraid of the Holy Light's side against his eyes, and his vision is still vicious, and now is indeed the most suitable time to make a choice.
The army of the undead is coming, the dimensional invasion is already unstoppable, and the holy war can be said to have begun in an all-round way.
Well, since they are all seizing the height and hot spots of public opinion, it is not wrong to say that they are grabbing headlines.
And just outside our forest, the current situation has not changed, the undead army of the six planes has successfully landed, the dimensional space has been permanent, the undead natural disaster has been formed, no matter what the reason for their coming here, but what they will do next has already come out - war.
Yes, whether it is extenuating or not, whether it is just in their own eyes or not, this is still a war, a war of aggression, a great war destined to be bloody.
The undead want to build a nation. But there is no kingdom of theirs here. Time passes. The vicissitudes of life, this is already the territory of the Baier Empire, and the returnees of the homeland do have the right to return to their homeland, so do the residents who have lived here for thousands of years have no right to protect their homes and territories?
In many cases, wars break out not because of so-called good and evil, but simply because of the struggle for living space.
A king can make his subjects cooperate with dangerous terrorists, but he cannot make his people abandon their homeland in any way. No, he can't even say such a thing, and at the very moment he speaks, all the people will regard him as a mortal enemy, and even the most loyal courtiers will raise the banner of rebellion.
The people can accept a small number of intelligent undead as the upper nobles, but it does not mean that they are willing to be ruled and enslaved by the undead, the super empire has its own pride, and it is impossible for the Baier people with strong self-esteem to accept the enslavement of foreign races.
I don't know what Esso's original plan was, at this point. When the fundamental interests of the two sides conflict, the contradictions between the two sides have long been irreconcilable. War has broken out.
"I want to go back to the capital, I want to ask His Majesty Oros for clarification!"
After discussing something, Helent was still not worried about the situation in the royal capital, so she definitely went back to see it first, accompanied by the dragoon team, and in order to strengthen his determination to have a good time with the emperor, I also sent a research report on Casoran's tears, as well as the conspiracy that the undead might make, such as the large-scale transformation of the undead.
Of course, there is also the questioning of the reckless reaction and irrationality of the upper echelons of the empire so far, and the small construction of how to mobilize the masses to work if the situation is not good.
"Herent, Rainy Night City is also ready for war. If the undead plan to attack Rainy Night City directly after completing the reorganization, you can consider contacting the Mage Country, maybe it will be more effective than asking for help from the capital, by the way, since the opponent is the undead, don't forget the Templar Church, what a good volunteer cannon fodder. ”
Listening to my words, Helent hesitated for a moment, but did not refute, it seems that he listened.
From the time of the invasion of the undead, the Tucker Republic, the Bair Empire, and the Mage Country have been as mentioned in the system mission "Three Snakes Killing", that is, three giant pythons entangled with each other, around the living space and the surrounding hegemony, and the conflict of interests between them is inevitable.
The Bair Empire and the Mage Country are already in a hostile relationship, and the war between the Kingdom of the Undead and the Land of the Living for living space has not known how many times it has happened, it seems that each of the three parties is in a hostile relationship with the other two, and the relationship between the three kingdoms is too familiar.
Deter? With what to stop? To use an old saying that is not very appropriate, in front of the wheel of history, any blocker is a stupid mantis arm as a car, the previous outpost battle was not large-scale, perhaps still within the control range, and when the two superpowers are fully mobilized, when the Tucker Republic, which occupies six planes and has twelve demigods and undead emperors, is in full swing, the power of individuals and even one or two legions has become meaningless, it is a confrontation between great powers and great powers.
In front of these three behemoths, the little foundation in my north is not even a fraction, and four taels of thousands of catties must be at least four taels of strength first, and we can only count a little finger now.
Still want to mediate? Wait until they prove with enough sacrifices that they can't eat their opponents in one bite, or they can suppress the forces of the three parties, directly suppress them, and force them to negotiate peace.
Among these three parties, Tucker's undead are dishonorable invaders, and they are enemies of the plane, and if they successfully enter the Baier Empire, whether it is a massacre to create a legion reserve or a large-scale transformation of the undead people, it is impossible for the inhabitants of the main plane to accept.
Peace is what all parties want, but it seems that it will not be possible in a short period of time, so let's keep a flame of peace first.
Esso may have seen through it, and he gave me another goal of these memories, perhaps also to allow me to mediate in the name of a third party when my conditions allow, and as the oracle of the Sleepless and the former Emperor of the Dead, I am afraid that I will also be a mutually acceptable mediator at that time.
The best result he expected was probably to occupy more than half of the territory of Baier, and then reach a diplomatic peace through guò mediation and other forces, but this goal may not be accepted by the Baier Empire, let alone the people and nobles who have lost their land and relatives because of this, so they must fight well and use their strength to make the other party accept.
The undead are still building fortifications and forming legions, and judging by the current appearance of the undead. The next strategic layout is already obvious. Without touching a third party. Gather as many forces as you can and prepare for a big battle, and once they are ready......
"With the speed of the increase in troops at the Plane Gate, the existing territory will sooner or later be insufficient, if the undead start to expand their territory on their own, the Dream Forest on the Western Front, and the Rainy Night City on the Eastern Front, probably. will be the front line of this war. Perhaps, it will become lively on both sides. ”
In a sense, Helent's preparation is not only correct, but will play a crucial role in the future, if the Bayer Empire is ready to fight in full force, Rainy Night City will become the first line of defense and a fortified city against the invasion of the undead.
"When the time comes, probably a lot of 'contract warriors' will run to join in the fun. And on our side, the situation in the Dream Forest will also change because of this......"
I don't think the undead at this stage will have the courage to defeat the Dream Forest, after all, how difficult the will of the plane is in their own I'm afraid the emperors know that besieging but not attacking is the most suitable approach, and this doesn't mean that the Dream Forest can't take the initiative to attack the undead! Won't be a henchman of the Empire of the Dead.
The undead will inevitably turn the area around the plane's gates into their own defensive territory. And the only blind spot is probably the Dream Forest, which is already an independent plane. However, this forest was originally a very famous port, and the sea side of the forest was a very good deep-water port, and on the other side of the sea was the country of mages, which was simply the most natural outpost.
Whether it is to defend against the Bayer Empire or to defend against the possible offensive of the undead, the Mage Nation will definitely send people, and perhaps in order to prevent traffic, there will be two long-term routes for adventurers who do not belong to any force.
"The Mage Nation will definitely come, and maybe a few legions will be brought with it. And having an absolutely safe station is sure to attract quite a few future point hunters. ”
Whether it is the birthplace of the Wood Spirit Clan or an outpost of the Holy War, this place will soon prosper due to the flow of people, and maybe it will also make a lot of war profits, becoming one of the most prosperous capitals in the world, but as the front line of the confrontation between the living and the dead, this place will inevitably be full of gunsmoke, and the Wood Spirit Clan seems destined to grow up in war.
And when it comes to jihad, in fact, the supposed imaginary enemy is not the undead who suddenly came, after all, it is Aye himself, and it is impossible to predict the arrival of the undead.
Originally, the primary goal was to awaken the various elemental beings with the awakening of the elemental gods, which were not very powerful, and were also suitable for the growth of practitioners and novices, except that they could also curb the rise of the elemental tides, which was obviously a good thing for the holy war.
The most important thing is that the weaker "novice monsters" will deepen the connection between the "newcomers" and the Ayer forces, establish an initial relationship of trust, and the "closed beta" adventurers who successfully obtain the rewards will become legends in the mouths of their peers, attracting newcomers to the industry, gradually expanding the camp of the foot men, and the elemental body can also be used as a material for making magic items to recover the cost, so I highly recommend marking them as the primary target in the report.
But now that the undead have taken the initiative to crash in, it's impossible for them to be counted in, but whether it's Rainy Night City or Dream Forest, there are solid defenses, so if you can't beat it, you can always run, and you can always remember it if you suffer a loss, and there shouldn't be a rookie rookie who died on the spot when he met the ultimate boss.
And another big battlefield that has been opened is also our old acquaintance, the battle line of the king of the Oro Empire, Kagesi, where the sea clan is still engaged in a tug-of-war with humans, and the sea clan who believes in the Storm Lady is obviously on the chaotic side, and it also fully meets the standards of actual combat.
Of course, considering the combat power of the Sea Clan in the water, it seems that it is no less difficult than the undead defense line, and the lack of strength is basically equivalent to sending them to death.
I mentioned this to Heloise before, and she was more open than I thought.
“…… Dangerous? High risk is high reward, otherwise how can you get the gift of the gods. Besides, we are not nannies, and the fighters who dare to sign contracts are also adults who can take responsibility for themselves. Do you think that the current opponent is dangerous, won't the future opponent be more dangerous? Real warriors only need to be killed in the sea of corpses and blood, since the elimination mechanism of leaving the strong and the weak has been formulated, what are you hesitating about? ”
"Yes, since you have already gone to the front line for the gifts of the gods, and you are not a civilian who has never seen blood, how can you not even be mentally prepared for this."
In a sense, I do underestimate the inhabitants of this plane, they are different from the environment of my previous life, and the warriors who are engaged in the adventurer trade have long been different from the commoners, and they have long been professional warriors who have danced on the tip of a knife to make a living. How could you rush to the battlefield without preparation. A reckless man who rushes up without assessing the strength of the opponent. He has long since died in the past.
Rather than thinking about this, it is better to think about how to deal with this trilateral war, which is destined to involve a huge amount.
But if I don't do anything, it's obviously not in my habit either.
"Samantha, it looks like your mother is going to sleep for a while, but you have something to do."
Samantha "Temperance" is a bright red wood spirit, she is not only the current patriarch of the wood spirit clan, but also the eldest sister of the Seven Virtues. But the strange thing is that it is obviously the embodiment of a rose that represents enthusiasm, but it always has a cold face and cherishes words like gold.
She is also very similar to Rosa in terms of face, she is simply twins, and for a long time, they have lived in symbiosis with Emira, and they know me more deeply, but they are different from Rosa, who is friendly and timid. Samantha seems to have a lot of opinions about me, and her expressionless face is considered a good face. It's normal to have a stinky face.
"Say."
"Probably, you'll soon meet a lot of visitors here, most of whom are targeting the undead. There are three things I want you to do. First, try to keep those visitors alive as much as possible. The second is to provide them with resources that attract them, such as the Fruit of the Thick Earth that increases their physique. Well, it can be exchanged for justice points or large gold coins, but be aware of the limited amount. Third, strengthen communication and ties with other races, and integrate into this world as much as possible. ”
When it comes to the abundance of hidden treasures, few people can compare to the lord of the plane, which is how to do a small business can not compare to the bank, the former is to make money, the latter is to print money, and the lord of the plane is the one who prints money.
Special fruits that increase basic attributes such as strength, agility, and physique, nectar that restores the body and magic power, and detoxification grass that heals poison, these magical things I have seen, and the latter two may have substitutes for alchemy, but this kind of thing that fundamentally changes a person's foundation and talent is extremely precious, and just with these native products, there will be countless strong people who work hard for the wood spirit.
Of course, this is not completely unlimited, fruits that permanently increase basic attributes also require a lot of resources from the forest to be manufactured, and the number is limited, and the ability of Amira's Dream Forest to create zào is limited to fruits and plants, and it can only have a buff and debuff effect on the creatures that eat it.
And as the Holy War progresses, I am afraid that the points of justice will become a more valuable currency than gold coins, perhaps, with this nascent concept and prosperous business, the goddess of wealth will go one step further, and these are just the beginning, I estimate that every true god on the side of Aye will benefit from this action.
At least I know that every contract, every fair exchange, makes the concept of a contract and the Sleepless Being, the patron saint of the contract, more powerful, and after that declaration, the number of devout believers has increased day by day, and most of the other gods have done the same.
"It's bound to be a long battle, don't let the Warriors die pointlessly. It's also for your mother's sake. ”
I'm not lying, the flesh and soul of the dead in this land will become the nourishment of the Dream Forest, as long as the sacrifice of the blood war is rich enough, Amira will not only wake up, but also become stronger than in the past, after all, in a sense, the entire Dream Forest is her body, and the wood spirit is all her symbiote.
Samantha nodded, and said yes.
Looking at Samantha who left quietly, I was also a little relieved, this little girl looked at me with too poisonous eyes, and the grievances and anger in it were even more uncomfortable, as if I really owed her something, when I thought of those things in the past, these little guys must have seen them, and the inexplicable guilt always made me feel that I was a bad father who did not pay off the child support.
"Sister Samantha is very happy, it seems that she is very happy that her father asked her to help with things." Little Rosa jumped out to tear down her sister's stage.
What, that stinky face was actually happy, and I was shocked and hurriedly asked Rosa how she saw it.
"Didn't my father see it? Don't look at my sister's straight face, in fact, I have already been excited, you see the vines behind my sister's head jumping and jumping, like a puppy's tail......... Woooooooo ”
Well, the vines that suddenly came down from the treetops kidnapped Rosa, but when I saw the red-faced young lady not far away, I kind of understood these little things.
On the other side, beside a stream, the first man-made building in the Forest of Dreams had been completed, and it was a small stone courtroom, which was only four or five hundred square meters, seven or eight rooms, but at its door, there was a balance insignia. Yes, it is the branch church and court of the Church of the Law in the Forest of Dreams.
Its intended function, in addition to providing some righteous points to future contract warriors, is also a place to promote the teachings of the God of Law, and even provide employment in the law profession, and with the increasing perfection of the "contract" priesthood, not only traditional business transactions will use contracts, adventure partners, hired force also found the God of Law Church, "team contract" has also become a bestseller.
And as a branch of the front-line diocese, its first regional bishop is naturally very important, and she is .......
"Kloss, are you ready?"
"Well, those wood spirits are very easy to communicate, and their understanding of the law is also very fast, it is estimated that it will not be long before our church has the first batch of wood spirit law professionals."
A smile full of happiness, in addition to the fact that she can do her favorite job in the elves' favorite forest, more than that, it is the wood spirits who promise to cultivate a special plant potion for her to change her physique.
Well, that's probably what everyone knows, it's nothing more than a plant version of the "male drowning spring", which is indeed in line with the ability of the Dream Forest.
But the rules have been set, even if it is Coloss, she has to earn points to redeem huàn, and if it is targeted research and development, I am afraid that it will have to pay additional research and development costs, which is not a decimal.
As the viewer went up and down with a bright smile on her face, the truth about my demoralization was still not spoken.
"Soon the support of the church will come, with your popularity in the church and those weird fan groups, I think even if you are willing to spend 10,000 points on that thing, your colleagues are willing to spend 30,000 points to prevent it from succeeding. Even if you succeed in developing the 'Male Drowning Spring', the other party will have already successfully researched the 'Niang Drowning Spring'. (To be continued......)
