319 Changing Situation

In that dead world, this kind of revenant spirit looked similar to the appearance of a normal person except for the fact that its body was somewhat transparent, but at this time, it was completely different when summoned to reality.

With his hair scattered, his eyes were red, and his face was pale, he looked like an old man who was seriously ill, and now he was standing in front of him, full of lifelessness and inexplicable horror, which was more in line with the appearance of the ghost in Lan Li's heart.

At the same time, the thinking that is similar to that of a normal person is too "mentally retarded" here, and he doesn't answer questions, but just looks at each other quietly with those empty eyes, and his reaction is also very dull.

"It looks like it was dead." After looking left and right for a moment, Lan Li came to this conclusion, and at the same time, he also noticed that this thing seemed to be a little afraid of light.

It's daylight at the moment, but the sunlight in the room is actually not enough, but even if the light is insufficient, the thing is still subconsciously avoiding being illuminated, and its steps instinctively move away from the window where it first appeared.

At the same time, there was a damp smell in the room that emanated from the terminally ill human body, as if there really was a dying person here.

Trying to order it to act, there was no hindrance, and Lan Li found that even if the scepter was dispersed, the thing would not disappear with it.

It looked amazing, but after a few hours of experimentation, Lan Li felt disappointed.

Because this ghost doesn't help him much.

First of all, it can't touch humans, or it doesn't exist anymore, it can't touch any living beings, and when it does, it only shuttles by.

As a result, while it can travel through buildings such as walls, it cannot be used as a warrior or assassin.

If you can communicate, you can use it to find out information, but unfortunately, under the great loss of IQ, this death can't even communicate simply.

"I hope it will be stronger in the future." Lan Li thought to herself, but she was not very disappointed.

After all, being able to summon this thing now is a big improvement from the beginning, and he hasn't forgotten that in the world behind the scepter, those revenants are constantly "getting stronger" with the passage of time.

Then maybe one day, even if this kind of ghost is summoned, it will still be able to maintain normal thinking, and at the same time, it may be used to assassinate the target.

This conjecture is not the work of some memories of his previous life, but that not long ago he had "created" a ghost that could kill people, although that kind of creation was completely different from the current one, but it could not be denied that the two kinds of ghosts were actually the same "race".

Lan Li was looking forward to the effect of this thing in the future, but it seemed that he couldn't help himself now, but after studying it for a while, he found something special......

Thoughtfully, he took down the long sword hanging on the wall not far away, and then placed it on the table, and when his mind moved, he saw that the dead soul standing in the shadow of the wall suddenly turned into a handful of blood-colored mist and converged into the sword body, and finally there was no trace of its existence at all.

Gripping the long sword tightly, a more shady touch than before hit, and he raised his hand to touch the sword body, and he could detect an obvious cold aura in it.

"What is this, undead enchanted?"

Lan Li flicked his sword with his fingers, curious about the use of this special "enchantment", so he ordered someone to find a chirping hen, and after a little experiment, he found that there was no blood flowing from the neck of the hen whose neck had been cut off.

He was thoughtful about it.

……

While Lan Li was in the midst of continuous experiments in the Maritime Frontier City, the situation in the Riverland was drastically changed by the appearance of the Iron Folk Fleet.

As the main battlefield of invasion and counter-invasion, the situation in the Riverlands is very chaotic, and there are even daily wars, bringing together the nine free trade city-states and the powerful alliance army of the Dothraki, which has occupied the northern half of the Riverlands, and is now confronting each other with the Westeros army gathered in the southern part of the Riverlands, and there is constant friction.

The Riverlands are closely tied to King's Landing's royal realm, and if you don't want King's Landing to be exposed to the enemy's iron hooves, then you must confine them to the Riverlands.

Therefore, after the war began, the Riverlands gathered most of the armies that the Iron Throne could command, the Stormlands, the Bends, the West, and the Valleys, united with an army of nearly 200,000 people, firmly imprisoning the enemy here, making it impossible for them to go further.

Of course, these armies did not merge together, but fought each other separately, with the local armies of the West and the River being stationed in the Thully River City and the Harrenhal area in the heart of the River to guard against the enemy's southward advance.

The army in the valley did not actually leave the valley, but the valley is located in the eastern part of the river, and the internal roads are mountainous and complicated, and if the enemy is ready to move south, then they will inevitably be cut in half by the valley army after sending their troops.

This subtle deterrence, combined with hard power, made it impossible for the Targaryen army to go any further, and could only swing north of the river, and in fact, the enemy was strong, but the Iron Throne side was also not weaker than them.

In addition to the army blocked from the north, the army of Qingting Island in the South China Sea, and the army stationed in Dorne on the border between the river bend and the stormlands, Westeros can be said to have come out of the nest this time.

Therefore, in terms of hard power, there is not much gap between the two sides, and at present, besieging the enemy army between the rivers and fighting a war of attrition is more advantageous for the Iron Throne.

Just because the enemy came from afar, it was relatively difficult to supply, and the Iron Throne occupied a favorable location, and as time passed, the balance of victory would naturally tilt in favor.

So even though the war has been going on for a long time, the current situation is still deadlocked, and under the countless chaotic battles, it is a wonderful balance, and as long as this balance is maintained, the victory or defeat can actually be predicted.

However, this balance was suddenly upset after the Iron Folk took over Haijiang City.

The total withdrawal of the Kohor from the war caught everyone off guard, and even the enemy was defeated at every turn, but because they were also unexpected, it did not break the Targaryens.

What's more, the Kohor people are not known for their military strength, and the army under their command is barely about 10,000, plus mercenaries.

So after the initial chaos, the enemy army still smoothed out the consequences of this turmoil, but the subsequent impact of this incident was very serious.

The Kohor occupy the Frontier City, which is one of the largest castle bases on the Targaryen side, and the Frontier City is located at the back of their territory, but now it is owned by the Iron People, which means that the enemy has beaten them in the ass.

More than that, the Iron People relied on the Green Fork River, one of the three fork rivers, and as soon as they landed, they went deep into the entire river, relying on ships to support all sides, and if they couldn't beat them, they turned around and fled, and no one could chase them.

Under such guerrilla warfare, the original stalemate situation quickly changed drastically, and the Targaryens on land naturally had no ships available, which meant that no one could march faster than the Iron Islands, and no one could stop them from escaping.

Can't catch up with people, but you have to be ready to guard against the enemy from behind to bite a bite, on the whole, there are not many iron people's army, but the small army just demoralizes the enemy.

Because of the actions of the large army, it is inevitable that they will not be able to stay away from the water source, and the water source of the river between the rivers mainly comes from the Sancha River, so it is difficult to guard against attacks from the water, and they cannot parry it at all.

With the cooperation of the Iron Throne's army, under the "internal and external troubles", in just half a month, the situation became precarious for the Targaryen side, and as a last resort, they could only shrink the front to refine the defense.

As a result, the Targaryens lost half of the territory they had occupied since the invasion of Westeros. Although there were no fortified castles in these territories that could be recaptured at any time, the losses were so heavy that it could be considered a defeat.

As soon as the news came out, both the front line and the rear cheered for it.

However, not everyone was happy about this, and the Iron People behind enemy lines were complaining, because the enemy had come in with a large army, vowing to remove the nail that had been rooted behind their buttocks.
