Section 383 Significance of Plan X (8)
"Oh, take it." After a while, Halwick handed the 'experiment instructions' to Tonks.
"Forced experiments?" Tonks looked at it and said in surprise. "If you don't want to come, you will be directly expelled from the mage group? Do you really want to do that? β
"Yes." Halwick said. "This time, either a companion or an enemy, no reason will be accepted. Those members of the aristocracy can be forgiven if they leave now, if they don't leave now, if they want to leave later, they will be directly wiped out. β
Tonks bowed to him again and turned to leave.
After it left, Schalz asked another question. β.... What will become of the kingdom after this confrontation is over? Have you considered this? What should we do then? β
"Later?" Halwick looked at Shards. "What are you thinking about that?"
"Thisβ" Schalz pondered his words.
"There are a lot of things that you can hesitate to start with." Halwick said. "It's always good to be thoughtful. But once you've made a decision, you don't have to think about it anymore, all you need is to follow through on it. Dangers and benefits can be left behind and left alone. β
"Are you confident of winning?" Schalz asked. "Do you have the confidence to be able to deal with thousands of soldiers--- the kind of soldiers who have defeated countless beasts with strange abilities? What is the big magic? β
"Nope." Halwick admits calmly. "There is no faith, and there is no magic."
"That..."
"I haven't had faith since I became like this." Halwick said. "Who can guarantee that in the next moment, the forces that support us will not suddenly disappear and make us a pile of simple bones?"
"When it first changed, a lot of people thought like you." Schalz nodded and said.
"Since that's the case, then every extra day you live is considered earned." Halwick said in a calm tone. "As for magic, it never occurred to me that I would need to deal with almost all the aristocratic armies in the castle, let alone prepare magic for such a thing. Who's going to do that..."
"That's right." Schalz said. "So, what magic are you going to use?"
"There are several large magics, prepared to deal with a large number of beasts." Halwick said. "Now, improve it and use it against these soldiers, it should be okay."
"That's what you say," Schalz shook his head. But I remember, before a couple of big experiments, you said the same thing. β
"Because the odds of success weren't high at that time." Halwick said. "You can choose not to participate, and even if we lose, they still need to keep the mage group. When the time comes, you will still be able to achieve a high status. β
"Forget it." Schalz shook his head. "If I did, you'd use me as an experiment."
"Huh."
Halwick laughed a few times and did not object to this statement.
"I'm sure you can win." Schalz said. "Taking a step back, even if you lose, those nobles won't do anything to me if they want to keep the mage group. After all, I've been unproductive for a long time, and it's not hard to control. β
"Actually, if you think about it, it's not entirely bad." Halwick said. "With so much experimental material, it's not a common thing."
"By the way, a kind of magic should be appropriate. Maybe we don't need to fight to make those ordinary soldiers fall to us... I need to go back to the lab once. β
Halwick said and stood up.
Solidify and fade.
"You mean, Professor Halwick simulated the way the beasts attacked us, and set it up here to have the beasts take turns attacking the outsiders?"
Dras's voice rang out.
Immediately, Yuan Sen saw that Dras, Brockis, and Toby--- who had just been unconscious, were all ordinary people now, standing in a place next to the fence where no one was. They all had shields and short swords in their hands, presumably disguised as DTPH members on duty.
"That's right." Toby's voice rang out. "I've seen similar programs in the lab in Harwick before. But, as you know, Harwick has a lot to plan. So I didn't care. β
"But what I heard you just said, those golden wolves are undoubtedly the result of Halwick's experiments, and the way they attack is undoubtedly like the beasts that attacked us before the castle was built."
With that, he looked at Brockis to the side.
"You should have gotten the truth just now. I really want to save you. β
"That's right...," Brockis said. Thank you so much. We apologize for the inconvenience. β
"I'm very sorry." Derras also said.
"It's fine." Toby said. "If I had changed, I would have been suspicious in that situation. So, can you please return my stuff? β
"Thisβ" Brockis looked at Dras. Most of them do. But those weapons ..."
"I've used them all." Derras said.
"Used?" Toby looked at them in amazement. "Did you use those to attack the beasts?"
"It's not," Brockis said. We tried, and killed the object specified in the prophecy. β
With that, he told Toby what he had just discussed with Dras.
"So you used all the weapons I had on you to attack him, and you didn't hit him?" After listening, Toby asked.
"Yes." Derras said. "I was going to continue... But after an attack, the man seemed to have discovered something. Now, there are a lot of people around him all the time. We were afraid of being discovered, so we stopped. β
"Actually, it doesn't matter if there are people around him." Brockis said. "But maybe it's not a good idea to do something to him. Maybe... His ability to dodge attacks was one of the reasons why Dolph made this prediction? β
"You mean, the prophecy could be true?" Dras asked.
"It's hard to say." Brockis said. "Harwick should have been able to conclude that Dolph was lying, so he started this operation. From this point of view, the prophecy should be false. So, maybe Dolph spotted this man's evasive abilities and chose him as a target? β
As the two communicated like this, Toby looked at the command center in the distance. As Derras said, there are a bunch of people gathered there right now---- all of them should be DTPH officials.
"They're making a lot of armor and weapons." Brockis said. "According to those people, that's the skill of their regimental leader."
