Chapter 535: Strange Things
While the war in Ivota was heating up, the Tasman Empire on this side of the Gondola remained calm in the drizzle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The battle between the "Awoken" and the rebels does not seem to affect the stable reign within the undead. The assembled army began to turn around, and the first army of the undead, numbering more than 50,000, under the orders of Augustine the Great, divided an army of 20,000 men and began to march towards the territory of the outer "lambs", apparently with the aim of quelling the so-called "freedom and liberation" movement.
The army of 20,000 here is nothing like the concept of humans or orcs. The logistics of the undead almost do not have to consider the problem of "baggage", so the ratio of logistics troops in the Tasman army is very small, and it is difficult to reach the level of 1:1 or even higher like humans.
In other words, the 20,000-strong army is a real combat power, and any undead soldier has standard equipment above the level of leather armor, a metal long sword, and at least three years of combat training experience. Using these professional soldiers to deal with the good and bad rebels, there is no doubt about "crushing".
Because of this, Augustine no longer worries about the so-called "rebel" forces, and he is now using a few drops of "xenomorphs", that is, Tevelin's blood, to perform the "Great Tracking" spell.
Waves of magic rippled between Augustine's wands, and the blood droplets floating in the air were wrapped in light, and red light separated the blood, and as Augustine's spell was cast, the magic fluctuations in the air gradually disappeared, leaving only a pattern of faint blood stains in front of Augustine.
Undead spells don't have much research on "tracking", so even if Augustine's strength exceeds level 60 to cast a spell, it is impossible to immediately confirm the exact location of the Teflin group.
This is the shortcoming of the spell system, and if no one conducts more in-depth research and optimization of this spell, then even if the demigod comes, the effect will not be better. Augustine could only deduce the location of Tevelyn through vague patterns at this time, but fortunately, he was extremely skilled in spells, and the results were quite clear at the moment:
"In this direction, an area of one hundred and sixty kilometers away, the number is about two hundred..."
Knowing the target, Augustine the Great was not ambiguous, and immediately wrote a secret letter and handed it to the attendant beside him: "Tell Yugsa that I want him to reply to me within three days that the xenomorphs have been captured." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Naturally, such an operation would not be discussed by the Parliament, but would be completed entirely by Augustine sending a subordinate of his lineage. Yugsa is the best of the younger generation of mages, and since he is currently operating with 20,000 "rebel troops", it is most appropriate for him to carry out this task directly with the undead troops at hand.
As the order was given, Augustine looked at the "Great Tracking Technique" pattern that had gradually dissipated, and secretly sighed: "It would be nice if there were a mage who specializes in prophecy... Where is there so much to do. ”
If there is a mage who is proficient in prophecy here, not only the number and direction, but also the precise location of the Teflin can be drawn directly on the map.
It is a pity that the Tasman undead did not have a similar lineage, much to the regret of Augustine the Great.
Speaking of prophecy mages, Houdini, who was in Elson City, happened to encounter a strange thing at this moment.
After signing a strategic cooperation agreement with Roddy, most of the laboratories of the Magic Tower in Elson City were directly opened to him, which was almost equivalent to opening the door to a "new world" for Houdini: although he could not read the High Elf script, many of the instruments and magic circles in the magic laboratory were of considerable help to his spell research.
After conducting a lot of intelligence reconnaissance for Roddy, Houdini, who has been idle for almost all these days, has been in the lab. After all, Elson City is calm and there is nothing he needs help with at the moment, and before Roddy returns, satisfying his curiosity first is still the main thing.
Therefore, Houdini was fascinated by the study of the "Resonance Circle" in the middle of the magic tower, and he didn't even bother to read the report letter of his apprentice's participation in the battle.
The effect of the "Resonance Circle" can be simply explained as "Spell Amplification", for example, the "Energy Detection" with a radius of five kilometers will expand the area of effect to fifteen kilometers through the circle. Although the detection effect will become a little blurred, the significance of the expansion of the detection area is self-evident. Houdini has been constantly recording the difference between before and after spell amplification by casting spells these days, and has even written a signed paper.
But just now, the amplified "energy detection" suddenly had a violent fluctuation record.
Prophecy spells are quite different from other spells, and they usually use various "items" to show the result of the spell when casting the spell. The simple prophecy of "Energy Detection" is amplified by the circle, and the result is told to the caster through the "magic powder" concocted on the central "casting table" - the greater the individual energy, the larger the volume of the circle displayed by the "magic powder" on this table.
Until then, Houdini's records had been the same: Elson City had several small circles, and the outer forest was blank. This is a building in the city that has an energy response and a mage like Camilla, but as an individual mage, the energy response is almost negligible when compared to the energy of the building.
But at this time, a huge circle appeared in front of Houdini's eyes, occupying a third of the platform... This suggests that something with an energy close to the sum of Elson City is now in the detection range.
"How is that possible..."
Houdini felt that he had made a mistake, and immediately flattened the "magic powder" and recast the spell.
"It's... What's that?"
The pattern that reappeared on the platform still had a large circle, but it had moved slightly to the other side compared to the previous one.
A cold sweat broke out on Houdini's forehead, and he thought it was something wrong with the circle, because in terms of energy levels, Houdini had never heard of an individual that could match the energy of a city.
Even if the speaker of the Rasiman Council comes, it can't reach such an exaggerated level!
He hurriedly cleared his spell casting materials, carefully cleaned up the "Resonance Array", and when he cast the spell again, there was indeed no strange "energy group" from before.
"I'll just say..."
Houdini breathed a sigh of relief, affirmed his inner thoughts, and continued to silently record the data.
"It has been confirmed that there are human forces in the village to the southeast, and I see them hanging the corpses of nobles in the middle of the village, and there are traces of fighting nearby..."
"That's right," Roddy finally breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Nata's report, "Come into the house and warm up, I made a hot soup..."
Nata's lips were indeed purple from the cold, but listening to Roddy's words of concern, the warmth in her heart seemed to dispel the cold. She nodded, took the change of dry clothes from Akasha, and entered the next house. Roddy turned around and walked into the hall of the manor that originally belonged to Lord Pochi, and continued the "audit" that had not been completed before.
Seven or eight Teflins, including Elder Luther, sat silent in the warm chamber, and looked at Roddy's expression as apprehensively as an interviewer looking at the director of personnel.
Through these few days of observation, it became clear to Elder Luther that he was in the position he was in, and he knew very well that if they wanted to survive now, the Tevlins had to show that they could be exploited... If Luo Di is allowed to treat his clan as a "burden", then there is no need to say much about the fate of the next.
So he deliberately found an opportunity and called several of the strongest young hunters in the clan to try to "show their strength" in front of Roddy, and Roddy didn't talk nonsense, and bluntly said that they would go together, and the result... Elder Luther now recalls it with horror.
"You have good strength, speed and reflexes, but you haven't been systematically trained, so it's normal to have results like this. ”
Roddy's gaze swept over the bruised-faced young Tevelins—two of them had broken ribs, but they didn't cry out because of their self-healing abilities. He commented a few words, then pointed to one of the guys and asked Luther, "How did he just make a limb shaper?
The younger generation of Tevelin's language had changed, and he couldn't understand Roddy's words, so Luther hurriedly replied: "There are some young hunters who gain some strange abilities when they become adults, and there have been similar examples before, but those children... Didn't come back. ”
This information is crucial, Roddy already knows that the Tevelins do not have mentors to teach skills, and now there are people who have the magical ability to shorten the length of their bodies, which is obviously related to the abilities of their "demon subspecies".
For Roddy, this is the equivalent of picking up a treasure.
Having a tail means having quick action and the ability to get out of trouble. The basic physical quality is higher than that of human beings, the self-healing ability is strong, and night vision can be seen, and occasionally a few guys with special talents emerge, such as the one who can stretch out his arm by one meter more at once... No matter how you look at it, this kind of person is the first choice for missions such as agents or assassinations!
Not to mention that they are not in service to any demons or organizations, just a group of "wild" poor people with demonic blood.
Although Roddy knew what Luther meant, he had to sigh that he really made the right move... Because what Elson lacks most now is all kinds of talents!
If conditions permit, Roddy really plans to train this group of guys. (To be continued.) )
