Chapter 1236: The Mermaid War (14)
Chapter 1236: The Mermaid War
Then again, that's what I was hoping for - I did bring Madrudin safely to the end of the plot I designed, but I was a little disappointed that I still wasn't completely in control of the process.
Thinking about it that way, I thought, I should add something more.
Returning to the merfolk side through the secret passage, the team headed straight to the camp to the north.
Sure enough, the expected accident happened again.
The team drove thousands of kilometers north, but did not encounter a merfolk patrol.
After another 200 kilometers, I encountered a panicked team, but the news I got was that the mermaid camp had also been attacked.
This "also" was not arranged by me......
In other words, Sibilian rushed to launch a sneak attack, thinking that he could destroy the Siren defense line in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, the Siren also bypassed.
Ironically, while the assassination team detoured from the edge of the frigid waters to the south, the Kraken came in from the north, close to land, where the merfolk soldier's mysterious death occurred.
Although the information of the patrol team is not very accurate, it can also be heard that the incident was just an experiment done by the Krakens, and just as the assassination team set off for the extremely cold waters, the Kraken's invasion also began.
The difference is that the mermaid dispatched an elite squad to the extreme, and adopted the strategy of lightning attack, while the Kraken took the approach of opening a hole and putting in a large number of ordinary troops.
The Kraken's plan was successful, and if there was no mermaid's assassination team, this time, they could sneak through the secret passage reserved in the trap barrier and launch a two-sided attack while the merfolk were busy dealing with the sneak attack troops.
As a result, both sides are calculating each other.
It is said that such a plan, if the high-ranking officers of the Kraken can be caught, it will not be difficult to interrogate, but unfortunately, Sibilian killed all the way and didn't even give people a chance to speak......
But from another point of view, it is precisely because of the Kraken that the assassination team sent out the army in the base camp is relatively small, otherwise, the breakthrough of the assassination team will be more difficult, of course, it is not a problem with me......
Pushing down, the appearance of the Blue Priest and the Whispering Great Wizard should also be related to it, and even, they divined the crisis element of Sibilian, but they didn't expect Sibilian to cause them such a big loss.
Of course, I have a hunch that they are not dead.
In short, things are always out of my control!
This feeling of being arranged, even being fooled, makes me feel more and more unpleasant.
"You see......" Leo added a fire at the right time, "when you think you are in control of the fate of the weak, you can feel some invisible constraints, just like standing under the scorching sun and blue sky, you can only see the blue sky, white clouds and the sun, but once you fly high in the sky and throw the clouds at your feet, you will see that the sky becomes dark and deep, the sun is no longer the only source of light, you will see, the sky is full of stars......"
"Don't be so lyrical!" I said, "I can now understand how you felt in those first few years!" ”
"That's great," Leo said, "and this time we're really moving side by side." ”
"No, I'm a little worse than you." I said, "You expected the Kraken's movements, right?" ”
"Actually, I didn't react until after those two old guys disappeared, you won't blame me for not telling you, right?" Leo said.
"I didn't figure it out myself," I said, "but if you had told me in advance, I wouldn't have been in such a bad mood." ”
"If you ask, I'll tell you." Leo said.
"You mean to blame me for not asking?" I smiled wryly, "Or is it a joke that I didn't even have the idea of asking you, thinking that I was in control?" ”
"Well, you're already a little over-interpreted." Leo scoffed.
"It's okay, what to do, even if you can't fully control it, you can do as much as you can." I said, "It's all the ocean race anyway, and I'm not here to subvert their ......."
"Want to hear what I think now?" Leo asked.
"Tell me about it." I humbly ask for advice.
"It's too tied." Leo said.
"I ......," I was stunned for a moment, not admitting it, "Indeed, I always think that behind every step is a god......"
"You see, when the Emperor Minotaur captured the mermaids and enslaved them, the sea cucumber infiltrated and didn't do anything, aren't you just adding a little variable to their war now, and you're afraid of it?" Leo said.
"Okay!" I let out a sigh of relief, "Then something big." ”
Determined, I began to rewrite the plot that I had made up before - the match between Sibilian and Maderuding was supposed to continue until after the return, and there might be a design of life and death promises, but now I don't bother to care about that.
The team galloped north to the aid of the camp, and on the way encountered a number of mermaid troops who had rushed to support, and soon gathered into a force, faintly led by Madrudin and Priest Bona.
Among the mermaids who joined later, there were many young and young Xinding and veteran veterans who were old and respectful, and they all thought of one thing - I'm afraid it's not a good thing that the south side is empty, shouldn't we leave some to continue patrolling?
In this regard, Maderuding waved his hand very firmly: "The south is very safe, at least until the invading kraken is exterminated, there is no need to worry, let's move on!" ”
Now he gradually has the temperament of Sibilian.
Priest Bona seemed to have become his deputy, but he always had a sense of absent-mindedness, and he would wander from time to time.
Maderudin seemed to be aware of her thoughts, but he was too busy to care about it.
As she approached the camp, Priest Bona relieved herself and became nervous.
Because there was no such sharp leader as Siberian, the Kraken's attack was actually not so fierce, and the merfolk army stopped the enemy to the north.
Fortunately, thanks to the operation of the assassination team, the Kraken failed to launch another sneak attack, otherwise it would not have been able to stop.
The current battle situation is in a stalemate, the merfolk are coming, and the Kraken's reinforcements are also replenished from the side close to the tidewalkers, so it is impossible to distinguish between high and low for the time being.
The news of the sneak attack on his own camp has not yet arrived, otherwise the Kraken is estimated to collapse, but at present, it seems that even if the assassination team brings the news, the Kraken's sneak attack force will only be regarded as fake news, even if the news is confirmed, the Kraken officers are estimated to hide the news and command the slave cannon fodder to continue fighting.
Therefore, this battle can only be fought hard, and the longer it is fought, the more beneficial it will be to the mermaid.
Unless, there's some powerful character on the Kraken's side.
However, if that's the case, it's time for the merfolk to send out a few "old" guys.
At that time, the situation was out of my control again.
But I just wanted to change the fate of Maderudin.
Thinking back to myself, if fate was controlled, how many people's fate would have to be arranged?
Fate, which seems to be just a person's chances, is actually the trajectory of the existence of all people, and even the entire universe.
There is a famous saying on the earth called "Man is a social animal", which tells me that simply changing a person's fate is either useless or difficult.
But there is also a saying that "man is the sum total of all social relations".
Perhaps, my thinking is slightly deviated, I shouldn't just consider this pair of "mandarin ducks" who are not hard-working.
With that in mind, I turned my attention to the many people I could influence.
The first is General Headley.
When Madrudin arrived with reinforcements, he was struggling to hold on.
As the original Supreme Commander here, his rank was as high as the dead Kraken Commander, and he lost his position as Supreme Commander because of Sibilian's appearance, but the Kraken Commander was lost with his life, and he sat back in this position again.
The reason why he is struggling to support is because he was assassinated.
In fact, the Kraken also sent an assassination team, but compared to the "arrows" of Sibilian's level, these Kraken assassins are really much weaker.
However, in order to arrange the plot reasonably, I helped those Kraken assassins.
Just when Madruding and they were still more than ten kilometers away, these guys took advantage of the chaos to quietly lurk near General Headley's tent, but with their concealment level and combat effectiveness, once they got close, they would be discovered by General Headley's personal guards, and after they were discovered, they would definitely not be the opponents of the guards, so I had to help them hide......
In this way, after some careful testing, this Kraken assassination team was pleasantly surprised to find that its stealth ability was so strong that the mermaid boss was unaware of it, so it swaggered into the manager's tent.
The battle situation was stalemate, and General Headley was also busy, sitting in the conch camp, sitting on the throne that Sibilian would never compete with him again, meditating, and sending all the guards to the door.
At this time, the Kraken Assassination Team suddenly appeared and attacked.
One of the Assassins also took out a scroll-like prop and sealed the entire tent so that the guards outside could hear the movement.
The Kraken Assassins were immersed in the illusion of increased strength, and they were full of confidence, but when they arrived, their commander had obviously calculated the balance of strength, and it was just right to match such a team that was slightly stronger than General Headley.
As a result, General Headley was caught in a bitter battle.
Maderudin, they had gathered two or three thousand mermaids and tens of thousands of combatants and sea beasts along the way, bringing hope to the battalion.
They asked to see General Headley, and the guards found out that something had happened to the conch camp......
Then, with the combined efforts of everyone, the seal laid by the Kraken was broken.
At this time, the Kraken is cornering General Headley, and it is a life-or-death moment!
