Chapter 49: Observation
"Lin Yuan, this is not the time to do this kind of thing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Herass frowned impatiently, and the noise of people in her neighborhood made her feel uncomfortable.
"Why did you suddenly come to the Kingdom of Nozimir? This place should be the last country we have to deal with after the capture of the Kingdom of Kennessia? ā
Lin Yuan lazily leaned back on the soft seat, enjoying the lukewarm black tea.
"Of course, I came here because it was necessary. ā
It was the northernmost of the three kingdoms, and the Kingdom of Nozimir, a border city close to the south, was a major transit point for trade with the Kingdom of Kennessia.
It has a permanent population of 500,000, but it is a key city for trade between the two countries, and the floating population is not less than 100,000.
Now this already lively city, because of the speech of a certain official, the atmosphere has become even more enthusiastic and extraordinary, and a large number of people have gathered in the square in the center of the city, shouting the same slogan in unison.
"Chase away the invaders! Return our peaceful homeland! Down with the evil Kaos Empire!"
"The herd effect is really terrible, but a few people are just a few people who make a little noise, and a few specious words of encouragement are used to stir up the atmosphere of the scene. ā
In order to observe the frenzied atmosphere not far away, Lin Yuan specially chose to sit by the window on the third floor of the hotel.
"Really, it is sad news that so many soldiers have died in a foreign land, but they are being used to encourage the people to join the so-called volunteer army on their own, isn't this telling them to die?"
The speeches given by the officials of the kingdom of Nozimir today are an impassioned performance that encourages the people to join the war against the invaders.
Not only in this city, but almost all the cities of the Nozimir Kingdom carried out this political propaganda, allowing the people to join the army spontaneously, in order to replenish the lost forces lost to the Kaos Empire at the time of the battle of the Three Kingdoms.
"If you just want to replenish the troops, this show is enough, but it is useless to let the people spontaneously participate in the so-called volunteers, let them take the initiative to go to the front line of another country to fight against the so-called invaders, what is the king of this country thinking?"
Lin Yuan drank all the black tea in his hand and put down the cup.
Although Heras hated the noisy sound of the crowd, after hearing Lin Yuan's words, she kept her attention on the speech in the square.
"The king of this country is indeed the last of the seekers of truth, ......right? He should know what has become of the Kingdom of Kennedia......... Like this...... Didn't he say that he sent his own people to death?"
All the cities of the Kingdom of Kenesia can be sure that artificial wombs for the production of monsters have been arranged underground, and now the vast majority of the city's residents have been sent into the monster womb for transformation, and all of them have been sacrificed to an extremely large number of monsters.
Heras didn't know if anyone in the Kingdom of Kenesia had survived, and the illusion's observation of the world inexplicably lost its effect on this and that land, and could only observe vague scenes, and limited Lin Yuan's teleportation magic, and many places could not move freely.
Therefore, since he eliminated 100,000 monsters on the plains, Lin Yuan has not acted again in the past few days because he has lost the means of detection, but only put his monster troops and subordinates to rest in the empty city for the time being, until the ghost spies sent out get the latest news.
"I don't know. It doesn't really matter whether His Majesty was deceived by his so-called allies or whether he really sent his own people to death. ā
Lin Yuan faced Heras's eyes that wanted to seek the true and correct answer, and he could only spread his hands innocently.
"The information I have learned from the long history is almost useless now, and the plans carried out by the Vientiane Research Society have completely deviated from their previous preparations and become more ...... How do you say that? Should it be called 'bizarre'?"
It was as if on the day the world changed, things got out of control, everything became confusing, and many fragments of the past could not be used as a reference.
It's just that Lin Yuan didn't feel anxious about losing control of things, he never hated sudden events, and he didn't hate the uncontrollable reality.
As long as it's interesting, he's happy to accept it all.
"But coming to this side, according to the information collected in the city, it is certain that there are indeed traces of human beings in the cities near the border of the Kingdom of Kenesia, and those people are still alive...... For now. ā
After Lin Yuan came to this city, he invaded the minds of several high-ranking and powerful people, and obtained news directly from their memories.
Several of them were members of the Chamber of Commerce, and had traded from the border cities of the Kingdom of Kenesia not long ago, and everything in those cities seemed so mundane that they were no different from before.
"What I know now is that the Vientiane Research Society used some kind of hypnosis-like means to let the residents of the city enter the womb of the monsters on their own, so there were no traces of resistance, and as for the part of the city where we are stationed, there will be some areas that have been damaged, because some of the more powerful monsters are difficult to control, so the damage will be caused. ā
Although it is impossible to detect the situation in other regions, the dream realm can still read the remaining thoughts of the place.
In it, Lin Yuan saw that all the residents of the city lost their minds, being manipulated like zombies, and without self-awareness, they took the initiative to enter the womb of the dead monster, and then they were completely digested in this way, and the flesh and blood were transformed into completely different species.
"It's because of this hypnotic method that even if an entire city disappears, the residents of other cities won't be realized, and I don't know how they affect the Magister...... Hmm? I seem to know why the Kingdom of Kenesia doesn't have a strategic magister. ā
The stronger the magic power, the stronger the resistance to the outside world, and it is difficult for ordinary hypnosis methods to affect high-level magic masters.
"After all, the king of the Kingdom of Kenesia has been on the throne for more than thirty years, which means that the Vientiane Research Society has controlled the entire country for thirty years, and in such a long time, any preparations can be made...... It's still weird, though. ā
According to Lin Yuan's estimates, after the womb of a monster devours a human being, it will take a while to transform, and the number that can be transformed at the same time is limited, and the huge number of 100,000 monsters will take at least a year and a half to complete.
And not long ago, the Kingdom of Kenesia sent a part of its army to participate in the war against the Kaos Empire, which means that they did not sacrifice the entire country's people.
But the paradox is that Lin Yuan is in that piece of land, and he can hardly see the breath of life that belongs to human beings.
All he felt was the cloudy aura of the monster.
In terms of time, the difference in conversions does not match.
But it's always a feeling, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I need to get further information.
"There are 12 million citizens in the Kingdom of Nicaea, and if they are all transformed into monsters, then I can really only do it. ā
Even if there are no natural calamity-level monsters, the number of tens of millions of monsters is not something that can be easily eliminated.
Even if the consumption of transformed monsters is calculated, the Kingdom of Nicaea has at least seven million monsters entrenched in various cities, and with the current military strength of Lin Yuan's invasion, it is not at all possible to fight.
The magic power possessed by the strategic magister is also limited, and after releasing two or three strategic magic, the mana will be consumed, and nothing can be done, and if all the monsters rush up, they may end up fighting and losing both.
However, in this world, even seeing may not be true, everything is an illusory appearance, whether it is true or false, it needs to be further confirmed. ā
There were many things that made Lin Yuan feel puzzled, although the Vientiane Research Society sent 100,000 monsters to stop him on the day he invaded, but since there was a strategic-level demon master, it was only used to send him to death, and it was impossible to cause real damage except for delaying time.
Several days have passed since the battle between the monsters, but the other party has not reacted, and there is no next move, just like this, Lin Yuan's monster army stayed within the border.
And the most important thing is that the main purpose of the Vientiane Research Society tomorrow night, "Let mankind continue", has been completely completed, they have repaired the truth of the root of the world, reduced the load and burden of this magical world, as long as there are no drastic changes, theoretically speaking, the magic will always exist, and mankind will get a better future in peace.
However, the Vientiane Research Society, which was supposed to be hidden, continued to be active, and it was more intense than before.
If it weren't for the Ngay Forest that blocked the outside world, this rude move of the Vientiane Research Society would have been discovered by others long ago.
Converting tens of millions of people of an entire country into monsters is not something that can be covered up at all, and once this kind of extermination and slaughter of the nation is made public, they will immediately become the public enemies of the world.
With such a large number of monsters, they are absolutely not allowed to remain in the world, which will seriously damage the safety of human life.
The position of the Kaos Empire is even more sinister than the current one, all countries will never show mercy, as long as it is human, it will not hesitate, and the Spell Council will definitely carry out the final decisive battle of the strategic magic bombardment of the Kingdom of Kennessia.
"Or ...... Do they have other plans?"
Lin Yuan didn't continue to think about it, and he couldn't get the real result by speculating out of thin air here, and only by arriving at the base camp of the Vientiane Research Association one step earlier could he know everything.
"So, Heras, I have a task for you. ā
He pointed to the frenzied crowd in the square, inflamed by impassioned words.
"Stopping all the troops that this country is going to send to the Kingdom of Kennedia, I don't want them to become the nourishment of the monster's womb in the blink of an eye, and it will take more trouble to deal with these troubles. ā
Heras nodded solemnly, preventing people from sacrificing innocently and reducing the enemy's combat effectiveness, she was happy to deal with this matter.
"Because I don't know how many monsters the other party has, it's difficult for me to send a strategic-level force level helper to you, but for the rest of the manpower, I can send as many as you want, anyway, this country is different from the Kingdom of Kennedia, and it can be teleported freely. ā
Although there is a strategic-level magister in this Nozimir Kingdom, that one is the king of this country, and it is absolutely impossible for him to go to the forefront in person, so Lin Yuan is very relieved to let his dependents carry out the plan to obstruct it.
As long as there is no combat power of the same level, Heras will never be defeated.
"Calculate the time, the others should have already adjusted their mood, then it's time to go. ā
Lin Yuan stretched and got up from the comfortable chair.
"There's no human existence anymore anyway, and since we're going to have to wash the floor sooner or later, let me do it for the Spell Council. ā
