Chapter 712: Allegiance
Little Khan Duke and his knights joined the battle group without stopping, and the other envoys who were lucky enough to escape here also joined the defense line built by Roddy after being treated by Akasha - they did not have extraordinary bravery, but because of Roddy's appearance, the "positional warfare" became much easier than expected. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Dealing with a large number of enemies who blindly charged, Erwin and the others could definitely be called "practice makes perfect", and they cooperated very tacitly. Infantry defense, cavalry with guns in the back, and spells to build bunkers in areas that cannot be defended on both sides. All that's left to do is keep repeating the killing.
Therefore, when the mages who had escaped and were rescued came to their senses, they immediately learned from Sylvia and Merinthra, and began to cast spells to build "temporary walls" and "bunkers" to protect the team. Walls of earth and ice were erected in the square below the magic tower, and the crisis of the original shortage of combat power was immediately resolved. And with the completion of the repair of the magic circle on the magic tower, round after round of spell support began to fall from the sky again, and the soldiers who were originally under pressure were finally able to take a breath and start to rotate their reserves.
While all this was happening, Evely and Dorith sat on the stone steps at the back of the position, stunned - they could only move their necks stiffly at this time, and they could not even stand up. The soldiers who kept running around did not realize that they were "tied up", but were unable to move because they were injured.
The forces of the Eskar Nation had suffered heavy losses in the battle they had just fought and were now scattered to nowhere. Evely was almost killed by the "Child", and if it weren't for Akasha's healing technique, she would probably be in pain by now. When she realized that her life had been saved by Roddy's team, her mind had been in a trance—but seeing that the battle had stabilized slightly, she held back the grief in her heart and quietly asked Dorith what had happened.
And the results she got finally made her realize how terrible the young people not far away were.
"Everything is disguised ... It's fake, I can't see through him at all. Dorith's voice was very depressed, she felt that she had been in vain all these years, and when she learned about the deaths of Miranda and Jiel, she was extremely depressed at the moment: "He seems to know more about the plan to infect the fish-people than we do, and he scolded me at the time, saying that we are, is... Dig your own grave. ”
Evely was still a little distracted by the pain in her calf, but after hearing Dores's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then muttered to herself, "Dig your own grave... Did he know that we would be attacked like this?"
The death of Miranda and Jill really irritated the patriarch deeply, and she had realized that those "children" would never rush over and besiege them for no reason, so what was the problem?
Come to think of it, it will only be the spell that Miranda casts to "expel the fish-man"!
This spell was learned by her and Dorith after receiving a book at the "Royal Hall of Spells" in the country of Eskar. And it was none other than King Talia who had made them learn this spell!
This spell does work against the Fishmen, but it has an unusual attraction to the murderous "descendants". Is this a coincidence? If not a coincidence...
The sudden fear made her feel like a pinprick in her back, and cold sweat ran down her forehead almost immediately. As soon as this thought came to my heart, many unintentional details became strong evidence to maintain this judgment. Especially the words that Miranda mentioned earlier when she talked about "Her Majesty's Reward" - why did the two of them, as the leaders of several great forces in the country, suddenly gather to participate in such a mission?
The kingdom of Eskar has never been a centralized state of royal power, and the distribution of power is similar to that of the kingdom of Karen, where each clan controls the territory, and the king nominally commands all the patriarchs. Evely thought about it: if there was no surprise element of "Roddy" in this incident, then Doridis would have left with them, and there was a good chance that she would be besieged and killed by the "Descendants"!
When the time comes, what will be the situation in the country? Who will benefit the most?
She would never have imagined that Talia, who was almost fifteen years younger than herself, would have such a vicious scheming, but when all the clues were connected, Evely suddenly realized that she had made a very stupid mistake...
In the political arena, if you underestimate anyone, the end will be very miserable.
And now it seems that Roddy, who they were trying to use... turned out to be a "benefactor" by mistake!
Fate is so fond of jokes sometimes. Evely leaned against the cold stone wall a little dejectedly, her eyes were unfocused, and she whispered, "Dores, we may not be able to go back to the country of Eskar." ”
"Will Your Majesty send someone to save us?"
Dooris clearly still had illusions about that majesty, but her words made Evely laugh bitterly: "Save us, even if we are lucky enough to return home, we will probably die for inexplicable reasons." Miranda and Jill didn't die in an accident... Your Majesty, this is for us all to die here in order to achieve her goal!"
Her words confused Doris, but the latter was not stupid, and after a little thought, she understood what she meant. The bone-chilling cold made Doiris a little panicked: they had become "outcasts", and in front of these forces in front of them, they had obviously become garbage and ignored existences.
"That's... What can we do now?"
Doureth asked anxiously, she was afraid of death, and she definitely didn't want to be left on the battlefield full of dangers.
"We don't have a choice, we have to choose a dependent side. Either the Parliament, or the Kingdom of Karen..."
Evely also became resolute at this time, trying to move her imprisoned body and come to Dores's side: "The only thing that can save us from being held accountable now is the messenger of the Karen Kingdom!"
Dorys nodded repeatedly, knowing that it should be the most urgent thing to do right now. But when they found each other in the crowd, they were both stunned - for Jeremy, the speaker of the Rasiman Council, was standing beside Roddy at the moment, apparently listening to him on something important. The Speaker's demeanor and expression were extremely serious, but he kept nodding his head in response, exactly like a reprimanded magic apprentice.
The solution to deal with the ancient sea beast is by no means as simple as direct bombardment, Roddy didn't have time to go around in circles with Jeremy, and explained the concepts of "mother" and "child" straight to the point, and at the same time explained the "battle plan" he gave.
Combined with what was happening, Jeremy immediately realized that this was indeed the only viable option. He immediately put away the shelf, seriously remembered everything Luo Di said, and very decisively agreed to Luo Di's battle plan, and then said: "I'll go and prepare right away! It may take ten minutes! The battle plan is under your command, and the council will do what you say!"
After saying that, he used the "levitation technique" to go to the top of the tower, apparently informing the magisters at the top of the tower. Roddy was very surprised by this, he originally thought that the most optimistic situation was to let the other side accept the "battle plan", but he never thought that the other side would directly give him the command power neatly - this is indeed completely different from the impression of "bureaucratic" rule.
"After all, they are all magicians, so they know how important they are..."
Roddy couldn't help but sigh that talking to a smart person was a matter of effort, he turned his head to look at the battlefield where the front line was solid, and shouted at Akasha: "Pay attention to saving mana!
"No problem!" Akasha waved her hand in this direction, and then cast a "divine shield" for Nephie beside her, who was not idle at the moment, and was concentrating on controlling the puppet to fight on the front line - with the charging hedron as an energy source, the "endurance" of the puppet type III was very amazing, so Nefi was almost fighting without mana consumption, and the only thing he needed to do was to occasionally release a shield for the puppet to protect.
Confirming that the battle situation was temporarily stable, Roddy turned his eyes to the "taskbar" in front of him, and found that the description of [Demon Calamity] on it had changed:
"You have bravely decided to face the ancient beasts from the depths of the sea, but 'courage' alone cannot defeat the enemy, and the enemies who are always strong are far more terrifying than you think!
You still have a chance to escape, or it's too late to regret it. ”
Quest completion conditions: Defeat the Ancient Behemoth 0/1
Rewards: Skills "Demonic Fear", "Fear Gaze", "Sacrifice"
Experience 4,560,000 points
As Roddy changes his choice, the mission clearly takes a different path. Compared to the previous result of only rewarding more than 10,000 experience points, the difficulty of facing the ancient sea monster has obviously increased to several levels, and the rewards are also very amazing - because Roddy glanced over and found that these three skills are all "epic skills" with purple borders!

But at this time, Roddy is not stupid to stand and figure out how to use these skills. He closed the interface, rushed to the side of the "Fire Crossbow Arrow" in a few steps, raised his hand to remove the boxes of "Charging Crystals", and shouted at Melinthera not far away: "Come and help transform the magic circle!
After the two large fireballs blew up a field of fishmen, Merinthra turned around and began to rearrange the nodes on the circle according to Roddy's request - these were originally the various weapons or floating circles newly researched by Elson City, but now they have changed their nature under Merinthra's hands... The charging spars are densely inserted on it, and it looks spectacular.
At this time, Roddy had already turned around and walked straight towards Dorois and Evely, who were thinking about what to do.
"Lord Roddy, we are willing to pay your allegiance!"
Doreth and Evely spoke directly without saying a word. Because the two were imprisoned, they could only sit on the ground and bend down to Roddy at the moment. This is not surprising to Roddy at all - as long as the other party is not a fool, he must understand what is going on after being besieged by the "Descendants". So he didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "It's okay to be loyal, now there is a place for you to show loyalty, if you do what I say, then I will accept your allegiance and save your lives." ”
"I will do it!"
"We all listen to Lord Roddy!"
They knew that they had no choice at this time, so they all agreed directly. But as soon as he finished speaking, Roddy's request made the eyes of both of them widen at the same time-
"Use the skill you just used to attract monsters, the more the better. ”
