Chapter 19: The Ring and the Barbarians Arrive

"You're saying you found this thing in a cave during an expedition, from a body that is suspected to have been left behind during World War I?"

Academician Qian looked intently at the ring in his hand, and the look of surprise in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

"Yes. I think, to be precise, the barbarian who died during the First World War - he seems to have been hunted down there. My companion had grown up in a hunter's family, and he was used to distinguishing things from many subtle traces, and that's what he guessed at the time. ”

"Also, I would add that the barbarian identity seems to be ...... Very high! He left behind a war knife, which is a treasure - it is to enhance the output of magic energy! Shainin thought about it and added.

Everyone changed color in horror.

……

"You're not mistaken...... Are you sure it's to increase the output of magical energy? Yang Linkai asked suspiciously.

"That's it, that's not just a strange treasure, I've seen one in my house, and it's treated like a treasure by the old man, and I haven't ever touched it!" Xiao Ledong shouted authentically.

"That's right, it's to enhance the output of magic energy." Xie Ning smiled bitterly.

"That's right......" Academician Qian said slowly with a deep groan.

"I estimate that this ring is likely to have a lot to do with that giant gate!" She said categorically.

"But ......"

There was some frustration in her eyes: "We also don't understand the barbarian's magic item technology system at all, this ring ...... Probably no one will know what it is for. ”

……

She thought for a while, and then threw the ring back to Shaining: "You can take it as a souvenir, and I'll look for you when I have time, organize a research force, and see if I can study something famous." The immediate task now is to find a way to block the passage through space. ”

"But I suspect it's a space portal! Or, at least, a magical item that opens a spatial passage. Shainin said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Academician Qian asked suspiciously: "Even if the pattern is like, it may be something that the barbarians use as ornaments." You know, the giant gate must be a very high status in the minds of the barbarians, and it is not surprising that they like to imitate it and wear trinkets on their bodies - just as we like to engrave miniatures of the imperial capital on trinkets and match them. ”

"I know that, and I doubt it. However, at that time, we found it from the belly of that extremely high-status barbarian. And, the first time I saw it, I saw it in it - in a flash! Space magic! ”

Xie Ning already had a gloomy face, and said the words word by word.

……

Everyone was moved again.

"Okay, I'll arrange for them to be tested right away."

Academician Qian sighed: "However, Your Highness, I suggest that you don't have much hope. We've been trying to use our technology to dissect the channel and find a way to stop it from forming. Rather than using the barbarians' technology system to try to understand how they construct the passage - if that were the case, we'd have already learned their magic item technology system. But only now have we learned how to make a magical armor-piercing weapon. ”

She spread her hands.

"Well, let's all do our best, it's always good to have one more way. But Academician, if we do confirm that there is something wrong with this ring, then we may be able to decipher the secret of the barbarians - even if we don't, find a way to restrain it. I can't sleep tonight, so I'm just here watching you guys work overtime. But academician, you should let your sick old scholars go to rest, the environment here is too difficult, you can also study it when you return to the imperial capital, they can't hold it if they go on like this. ”

Xie Ning nodded, but looked at a few old figures who were busy and said.

Academician Qian smiled: "I will." ”

ignored Xie Ning, and directly summoned some people to study the ring.

~~~~~~~~~

A surging army poured out of the gates, and the entire depths of the far north were filled with the shouts and screams of barbarians.

I don't know how long it took.

When the barbarian army was finally spit out by the giant gate, it finally spread throughout the depths of the far north.

The crowd waited for more than ten minutes.

Then, I saw the light curtain flickering heavily, and more than a dozen unusually tall barbarians in hideous armor had already torn open the light curtain in the ring with great difficulty, and they rushed out! The light curtain, which seemed to consume a lot of money, had become extremely dim and crumbling in an instant.

"Wait, welcome all the War Emperors." The white-robed priest in Phnom Penh had bowed down respectfully, and behind him, the barbarian armies all over the mountains and wilderness knelt on the ground, shouting respectfully under the cover of the sky, in the deep north of the earth at the northern end of the mountain and sea planet, sinking and rippling back and forth.

……

"Yo...... You've worked hard. Prepare to meet the Divine Envoy and the first seat of the Total War, Lord Longer. ”

One of the War Emperors glanced at the crowd in front of him, nodded slightly, and said so.

"Hehe, don't be so grand, just tell my God's children to prepare to set up camp, march overnight, and prepare to carry out according to Lord Longer's plan."

Before the War Emperor's words fell, a soft voice came out with the hands that gently opened the light curtain. Then, a barbarian who didn't look so tall, but was unusually richly dressed, had already strolled in through the curtain of light.

I saw him look around, take a greedy breath of air, but intoxicated: "Ah...... Mountains & Seas...... How many years, dreaming of ...... Please let me, smell the blood and the killing again, and hear your wonderful moans again......"

"Lord Longer, please." After he finished speaking, he turned around again and led the void into the light curtain.

An even shorter figure also passed through the light curtain and appeared in front of everyone!

……

This is a figure that is slightly taller than the Chinese humans, but there is not much difference in height with the humans of the Western Continent. His face was tattooed with the strange lines that almost all barbarians would have, but when he looked closely, he found that this person's face looked like a mixture of humans and barbarians in the Western Continent.

He has a prominent nose, sunken eye sockets, and a prominent jawline. His entire face and every gaze seemed to carry a kind of coldness and mystery that could not be dispersed, and he slowly looked around, and found that including those War Emperors who were equivalent to the Star Glory Demon War, all bowed slightly respectfully to him.

He smiled with satisfaction.

……

"Kiro-sama, close the passage, no one needs to enter. This time, the passage is really big enough. He nodded with satisfaction at the gold-rimmed white-robed priest.

Then, he looked ahead again.

"Yo...... Ladies and gentlemen. According to the prophecy of my God, from this day onwards, I will have full authority to command my great barbarian expeditionary force to conquer the mountains and the sea and the ...... Those...... Damn humans! ”

He said in a deep voice.

"By the order of the first lord of the General War." The sound of the mountain and the tsunami suddenly sounded in the dark shadows that spread all over the depths of the far north.

"Then, let's follow the reservation plan and implement it immediately." Long Erzhi said proudly.

……

"How long will it take to get through this forest at our speed?" He turned his head and looked inquiringly at the Phnom Penh priest.

"Your Excellency, my barbarians are all tall and strong, and this forest may be a great obstacle for humans, for their strange magic costumes. But for my great barbarians, who are equipped with giant wolf riders and are best at jungle warfare, they will definitely appear in front of the human defense line after seven days if they march overnight. ”

The Phnom Penh priest smiled proudly and said in a deep voice.

"Yo...... Very good. Order the troops, in a multi-layered linear formation, to pull me over like a net! We must also harvest the demonic beasts that we have stocked here, without them, where will we get the follow-up military rations? And I don't want to see humanity suddenly on alert when we appear in front of the human defense line - your news was reported in a timely manner, and the humans really noticed that the magic field began to fluctuate a few months ago, and it was most likely that Hassi encountered their reconnaissance force.

……

"So, in this forest, I don't care if there are humans or not, if there is, find out, kill all of them, and leave no one behind!"

Longer said gloomily.

"My lord, if you start pulling the net, I'm afraid it will slow down the progress of the children...... a white-robed priest said hesitantly.

"The humans who came in to reconnoiter must be the elite demon battle team that moves quickly. They found Hasi, and whatever they gained, they would inevitably report back, and retreat in a hurry. ”

"So, you have to tell when they're leaving, right? You don't have to teach the simple problem of multiplying the time to leave by the approximate speed, right? Do you want me to teach you how far the human race will be able to march since then, and then start pulling the net a little earlier in that position? ”

Longer said exasperatedly.

……

"Lord Longer, there is one more thing to arrange." The divine envoy behind him saw that Long Er was silent for a long time, but he reminded lightly.

"Oh." Long'er slapped his forehead: "I was almost confused by them, thank you for reminding me." ”

He touched his body, but beckoned to the wolf, who had been standing gloomily, and handed him an old map.

"Alright, Wolf, you don't have to worry about it here. Divide a few people to find the body of the first lord of our clan's holy sacrifice in the last war, and he should leave a mark. ”

"At the beginning, he was attacked by the human army on both sides, and the retreat was too panicked and hasty, and he was already seriously injured and died, and he was targeted by a human star. Fortunately, according to the last person he saw, he ended up escaping into a cave here - there was another artifact that he hid in his belly when he fled, and even if the human star killed him, he might not know that it was an artifact. It's likely that the artifact is still in the cave. ”

He pointed to a point on the map and motioned to the wolf, "This cave is here." You send someone to take this map, find it, and bring it back. Damn, I lost three artifacts in the last war, and my god was furious about it - this is a relic left to him by my god's ancestors, and the loss of one is one less. What if it runs out and my god hasn't been promoted to the level of an ancestral god? So, anyway, you don't have anything to do, and you don't need to be the second ...... of our clan in the future battles Wise generals. So, this heavy responsibility...... I'll leave it to you? ”

Long Er looked at the wolf and said lightly, but a hint of banter flashed in his eyes.

A glint of annoyance flashed in the wolf's eyes, but he also said yes and retreated.
