The third fighter, Dragos, the giant**, the lord of fear of the city-state Mystner, and the disciple of the primordial warlock's best at necromantic spells.

He did his job brilliantly in the Battle of Purification, and he was led by Abu Polis during the Witch King's time, and now he has reappeared in front of the world.

The long and unremitting study of the mystery of life and death has given the witch king an extraordinary intuition about things like souls. Just standing in front of Draegos, Muhati could feel his soul being spied on by the other party. It's like a ** person facing a torturer with a sharp weapon in his hand. A terrified aura radiated from the Witch King's torso in all directions.

Will he see through himself? The psychic sorcerer's brain began to fly to think about the possibility, and how to deal with it. Variables and dozens of possible variations appeared in his mind. Ordinary people may feel fear when they are in danger of being exposed, but this kind of emotion has long been unable to bother the psychic man.

Draegos seemed to realize something, hesitated for a moment, and his skeletal body rattled. Those metal gears, bars, hinges, and transmission structures of unknown function whisper**. Muhadi concentrated, ready to unleash his abilities.

"Unbelievable. The Undead Witch King said, his voice was synthesized with magic due to the lack of vocal cords, and it sounded very eerie. It's a bit like a machine, lacking in life, and it's hard to detect fluctuations in his feelings. The Witch King Malik was undoubtedly able to distinguish the feelings of the Draegos, but that was because they had known each other for thousands of years, and the words alone were enough to detect the subtle changes in the feelings, and Muhadi had no image of the Witch King at all. "I used to think it was impossible......"

“...... You are really the Rajat, the primordial warlock, the propagandist of war. The Witch King said suddenly, as if to sweep away the moment's hesitation. "Forgive me, my Master. At first I thought it was a hoax or some kind of trap by Malik......" he bowed slightly. “...... But your soul cannot be faked. ”

Muhadi nodded, "Your help is exactly what I need right now." ”

Surprisingly, the Witch King Malik seems to be the most nervous person in this tent. He was slightly relieved to see Dragos admit that Muhadi was the Primordial Warlock, but it was well hidden, even the most powerful psychic warlock could not detect it.

"We're there where we're needed, aren't we?" said Malik cheerfully.

"Naturally. Dragos agreed, and Muhadi noticed that there was a small mechanism inside his rib rib cavity, like a nest. Mouse-sized creatures come and go, like small scavenger fish attached to the body of a tiger shark. When he agreed, the creature ran in and out, oiling the mechanical structures all over the body.

Behind the undead Witch King, many mechanical appendages are extended, ending in chainsaws, scalpels, bone forceps, speculums, multi-hook retractors, and periosteal retractors. The flexibility of these appendages is unimaginable, and they cling to the back of Dragos like the claws of an octopus.

It was these devices that dissected one god corpse after another, and Muhathir realized. Sure enough, all the witch kings are geniuses, and none of them are mediocre.

"We can move mountains and seas, destroy nations, destroy armies, kill gods, we can do anything. Malik said. "So don't worry, just arrange us. ”

"If my Muhadi decides that you two are only worthy of boiling water for my army to cook, will you do it?" Fatumah suddenly interjected, as an elf, she was not kind to the witch kings. It was these witch kings who destroyed the countries and armies of non-human races such as elves, dwarves, orcs, and goblins, and eliminated their gods.

"Well, of course, the contemptible man happens to be the best chef in Attas, I know a hundred and fifty dishes, and I have personally cooked some of the best lizard kebabs and naan pit meat in the world. Malik said triumphantly, with no offended expression. "Your 'Muhadi' – the Rajat as I call it – will show that his decision is as correct as ever. ”

"I'm not as good at cooking or sycophants as Malik. If the primordial warlock orders me to cook, then I will obey. But it won't be long before your soldiers themselves beg me not to carry out this mission. Dragos said in a flat tone peculiar to the undead, and it was hard to detect what mood he was in at the moment. "Forgive my curiosity, though, but who are you? Why is an elf now commanding our army, and why do you call him Muhadi?"

Fatuma knew about the Psychic Warlock's "creation of a disguised identity", but Dragos didn't. The Psychic had to explain for it. He motioned for Fatoumah to be quiet for a moment, and then said to the Witch King. "The name doesn't matter, a new identity will allow me to achieve my purpose better. As for the elves...... Our strategy has changed, Dragos. ”

The Undead Witch King stared at Fatuma, his hollow eye sockets casting red light, and the mechanical appendages behind him all hung down. "Uh-huh...... I think I see what you mean. Interestingly, I would probably have adopted a similar strategy if I were in such a position. ”

I don't think you really understand, Muhathir thought to himself, of course he didn't show it.

"Does that mean we're not going to do anything to the aliens now?" Dragos asked.

"At least, don't do anything about the race of Attas. The Psychic Warlock said. "But you can pour out your anger on the Mistara. ”

"Although there are slight differences in skin color, muscle strength and bone height, I can be sure that they are also human. At least a subspecies of humans. Are we really going to wipe them out?" asked Dragos. "And aren't there any other sapient races here?elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, goblins, whatevers, whatevers, why is the biodiversity so low?"

"We're not trying to destroy them, we're going to conquer them, and there's a clear difference here, and I want you to notice. The Psychic Warlock said. "As for your second question, yes, there are no elves here, dwarves...... Or some other intelligent race you're familiar with. I believe that an ecological catastrophe 8,000 years ago wiped them out. But there are other intelligent beings here, for example - the Rakshasa Demon. ”

"Rakshasa demon. Dragos silently pronounced the name. "Sounds interesting. But I'm more interested in the social structure here, and I have to say that, just from the few words I've heard, my scholarly soul has been fully mobilized. ”

"I have to say that the Mistara people are indeed a very unique and complex race, and their social system is far more complex than that of the Attas. Mohathir said. "I call it a caste system, but if you look deep enough, it's a humble name that doesn't reflect its connotations. ”

Next, the Psychic Warlock introduces the Witch King Dragos to the subtle social structure of the Mistara. Their people, from top to bottom, were divided into five classes: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Dharas, and Dalits. Each class is determined by its origins and performs its own duties. There is no institution of marriage in this world, and the burden of bearing offspring is almost entirely borne by Dalits, the lifelong mothers of the states. The only way to raise the caste is to win women from other states.

Since there is no marriage in the ordinary sense, the planet Mistara extends to two alternative systems. The Bine system is a union between a man and a woman, but this union can be broken and is not exclusive. The Turney system is a union between one man and another, in a sense more like marriage in the general sense.

“...... So, let's say a Mistara, a Dhara servant. If he wants to get a woman of his own and improve his social status. Is he going to ask for a Dalit from another state, or challenge a Kshatriya and win their Bern?" Dragos tried to understand the Psychic Warlock's words.

"Yes, that's right. Muhathir said.

"Most of the Mistara don't have a heterosexual partner, but most of them have a Tern. Malik pouted. "This male-male society is really amazing...... It is estimated that this has the effect of boosting the morale of our soldiers, after all, no one dares to fall into the hands of these people as prisoners, otherwise they will probably not even fart for the rest of their lives. ”

"Very characteristic, very subtle, very charismatic social system. Dragos admitted. "And what about their children? They couldn't have been raised by two men. ”

"In general, raised by the temple. The Psychic explained.

"Far from your parents and family, and growing up in the temple with a bunch of children who also have no family?" the Undead Witch King snapped his metal fingers. "What a genius idea. ”

"It's very efficient," Malik interjected. "The more children you have, the lower the cost will be. Can older children throw away their clothes to young children, I wonder if this is really a more advanced social system. ”

"Yes from a purely productive point of view, but from a mental point of view, I'm not sure if it's a reasonable choice. Mohathir said. "They value children but ignore childhood. ”

Malik shrugged. "Whatever they value, we're going to beat them, so what's the difference. ”

"It is very difficult to conquer a social system so disparate that the Mistara people will find their culture alien to ours. It will be difficult for these people to accept the new ruler. Delegos said. "I have to admit that Mistara society is more unique than I thought it would be, and I'm curious what you thought when you first appeared on it. ”

"I think it's good, and the variety of ingredients is going to expand again. Malik said with a shrug.

"I don't think it's that peculiar, maybe I've seen too many different social systems. The Psychic Warlock shrugged and said meaninglessly. Herodotus's Old Babylon had similar customs to those of the Mistaras. The women of Old Babylon were obliged to go to the temple as adults, offering at least one-time service. Most of the beauties will go home that day, and the ugly girls may have to serve in the temple for many years. But the Babylonian society had its own fairness, and their marriage was basically like an auction, with the highest price being paid, but the money people paid for beautiful women would be used to subsidize the dowries of other women.

"But it's true that their culture is very different from that of Attas, which makes it difficult to conquer. ”

"But we still have religion as a weapon, don't we?" said the Witch King Malik. "It's going to make the locals change their minds very quickly. ”

"This can only be achieved after the local faith has been eliminated. The Psychic Warlock said. "And to achieve this, we must first deal with the local false gods. ”

"I'm sure you've all had experience with that. Mohathir said. "However, we haven't had direct contact with the false gods here yet, so we don't know their strength yet. ”

"They're not very strong, but why haven't we met any decent resistance by now?" Malik said.

"The timing is also in our favor. Delegos said the same. "Polis went to Bato Nine Prison and won't be able to come back for a while. Due to the Blue Storm, many city-states have rioted, and a new kind of mage has appeared, and the Witch Kings dare not act rashly for the time being. Our actions will not be hindered. ”

"But the Gisyankees have blocked space, and it will be difficult for us to send reinforcements from Atas, at least for the time being. Malik touched his stomach. "How can you conquer four billion people with just a few tens of thousands of people?"

"With me here, numbers will never be an issue. Dragos said as a small constructed creature crawled out of the metal nest inside his ribs and crawled into his hand along a half-mechanical, half-bone arm. The Witch King lightly took one of the rings that the constructed creature was holding and placed it on his finger bone. "The one who fell will get up again and fight for our goal, whether he was friend or foe in life. ”

The same is true of fallen false gods. The Undead Witch King declared. "When the Mistara people saw their idols being activated by my necromancy and appearing on the battlefield, I was interested in recording their reactions. ”

"That's very good. Muhathir said. "Then our problem is left with the Giss Yankees, how are they doing?"

"Unfortunately, they have recaptured the supply base on the satellite. Malik said helplessly, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "With this as a base, they can attack Attas, or Mistara at any time. My Hiroyo Troll, though powerful, can't take care of everything. And the size of the Giss Yankees' fleet is very, very large. ”

"How powerful is that?" asked Dragos.

The Witch King continued. "It can be confirmed with a prophetic spell...... The satellite's orbit and autobiographical period have changed dramatically enough to be observed. A Giss Yankee fleet with a total mass of about one half a million of that satellite has already landed there. Conservative estimates also have at least a trillion total displacement of tarrants. (In Earth units, about 27 trillion tons of total displacement.) The mass of the satellite is about the same as that of Titan, and 1.8 times that of the Moon. If you want me to say, there are at least tens of thousands of large magic ships, and it is difficult to speculate on how many soldiers there are, at least five thousand acres. ”

"It can't be!" Dragos replied loudly. The Psychic Warlock took a deep breath.

"That's what you observe, you can't believe me. ”

"Maybe it's not necessarily their fleet that caused the orbital and autobiographical changes. Maybe it's caused by a large comet. Perhaps they use comets or asteroids as their mobile bases. Muhadi suddenly remembered the ancient evil Atopps, whose body was a moon of Athas. Who knows if there are any similar horror monsters in the multiverse?" and they lack high-level spellcasters and samurai. Although we don't know why. But I don't think they were able to conquer any of the city-states of Atas. ”

"They don't need to conquer the city-states, if only to destroy us. If they can even control comets or asteroids, then they can use the fleet of magic ships to pull the debris of the asteroid belt down to the orbit of Atas, and gravity will do the rest. In the face of orbital bombardment, most of Athas was defenseless. Malik looked worried. "Besides, they don't have legendary mages, though. But they seem to have some kind of ability to control the red dragon...... The multiverse is a big place, and who knows how many fire-breathing reptiles they can summon to deal with us?"

"Since you can build one of the Hiroyo Trolls, you can build a second one. Mohathir said. "Attas lacks metal and manpower, but Mistara is different. What's more, you don't have any technical hurdles to overcome. ”

"My undead servants can help too. Drygos chimed in. "I was interested in observing the construction of such a giant ship, purely for academic interest. ”

"Even from the most optimistic perspectives, it would take at least a few hundred years to build a magical ship that would promote the troll-class. Malik grimaced. "It's impossible to catch up with the current war. ”

"What if I allow you to use time-warping spells?" said the telemancer. "How long can you finish with warping time?"

"It's a lot faster, but the amount of life force consumed by this kind of magic is immeasurable, let alone ......used repeatedly," Malik said hesitantly.

"Look around. Muhati said to the Witch King. "Mistara is not like Attas, where life is much more luxuriant, and there is a lot of life to extract...... If our enemies use orbital bombardment against us, then there is no reason why we should not fight back with all our might. ”

"Atas in the Teal Age was more alive than Mistara is now, but the magic of abuse still ruined it. Delagos expressed his concerns. "No matter how lush life seems to be at the moment, once we start using magic uncontrollably to create weapons of war, it will inevitably become desertified in the future...... Isn't our purpose to find a habitable world, and if it becomes another Attas, then what's the point of us conquering this new world?"

Malik didn't say a word, he waited to see how Muhathir answered.

"The significance is that when we defeated the Gisyankees and went out in search of a second new world, we had two great ships instead of one. Mohathir said.

"What if in this second new world we encounter another invincible enemy that compels us to exhaust the vitality of this world once again?" asked Dragos relentlessly, with some scholarly persistence.

"Then go to the third world. The Psychic Warlock said. "If it doesn't work, then the fourth, the fifth. It doesn't sound like a good life, but it's not worse than Attas's. For thousands of years, the tribesmen of Atas have lived a nomadic life of living on water and grass, and I think they are used to it. ”

"Nomads in an interstellar background? I don't think that sounds very appealing. Dregos said in a machine-like tone.

"It's really not very attractive, and I don't want this to be our future. Muhati suddenly felt very tired and said. "So we're just looking at this as a preparatory tool for now. If the Gisyankees really carried out orbital bombardment of Atas, we will use this method to counter. ”

Malik breathed a sigh of relief. "Thankfully, the spell was too tiring. ”

"But then we come back to the question of how the hell can we beat the Gisyankees?" Dreggos said. "Their empire crisscrosses the astral plane, stretching into many planes. Maybe we can get some help from their enemies?

"There is no cooperation with the Spirit-Sucking Monsters, they are all cunning and shameless beasts, and they have no credibility at all!" said the Witch King Malik, the Spirit-Absorbing Monster Destroyer.

"I'm guessing that's what you'll say. Dragos's bony and metallic face was expressionless, but he inexplicably gave the impression of "I said this on purpose to stimulate you".

Do you want me to activate the ancient evil Atops to fight these astral monsters?" Muhadi thought helplessly. But what would the loss of a satellite do to Attas, would it disrupt its orbital balance, would it change the tides in the Earth's core mantle, and would it cause global earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?

No, there are other ways, Muhathir thought.

"Isn't there some kind of giant monster in the atmosphere of Saturn, the main star around which the moon orbits? Can the Starch Spencer send druids transform this creature into a weapon?" Malik came up with an idea.

"Maybe it will happen, and I'll convey that request to Camilla. Muhadi agreed, remembering the sight he had seen as he sailed through Jupiter on the Troll.

"I don't think it's going to be very good. Drygos snapped his metal fingers. "What if we defeat the Ghisyankees in the Atas field? They will eventually come back, what will we do then? Again, this is tantamount to being led by the nose by the enemy, and it is obvious that the enemy will not lead us to victory. ”

"I built yì, we hit directly at the heart of the Gisyankee Empire. They can't all be soldiers. "The Immortal Witch King Tiyì. "My Templars and Blasphemer mages are long dead, but they are still serving faithfully. They can attack the weakly defended Astral colonies of the Gisyankees, and then use the corpses of the dead to form an army that will continue to spread chaos...... Since you said that the Giss Yankees are not very strong individually, then my men can easily force them to not be able to concentrate on the front line...... They could not withstand a coalition of life and death. ”

"This has the potential to fail. Muhathir noted.

"What is failure, no one will die, because they are already dead. ”

"Just let it go. After thinking for a moment, the Psychic Warlock affirmed. "It's going to work...... But at the same time, I have my own plan against the Giss Yankees. ”

Malik looked interested, and no one could tell what Dragos was looking on, but the psychic guessed that he was eager to hear what he had to say. "We solved the problem on Mistara first, and we had to move quickly. After that, I'll gather a crack team of adventurers and head to Bartow. ”

"It's going to take a long time, but in the end, I'm going to let Polis learn a lesson that he didn't learn all the time. The Psychic Warlock said. "Then I will find a Cuban inhabitant who is known as the Wise Man. Through guò it, I can get the real name of all the zài. Also includes the brains of the Giss Yankees. ”

"At that time, they will have no choice but to surrender. ”

"Wise men...... I've never heard of this cun, but how did you learn about it, my lord?" Dragos's surprise could not even hide his characterless tone.

"It doesn't matter. Mohathir said. "I ......"

"Enemy attack!" a scream of terror suddenly broke through the peace. "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The two Witch Kings entered the battle almost at the same time, and the fifteen-century-long battle of purification made them particularly sensitive to this type of enemy.

This kind of enemy with divinity.
