Chapter 25: Scuffle
Magellan was curious about how a crystal could make a horse sacrifice work, and Rahu began to show him.
It was like two gods standing in the sky, looking down on the tiny mortals.
The ambitious white king began the horse sacrifice, he stood in the square and excitedly announced the news to his subjects, and then the hands of the asuras brushed over the crystal, and everything seemed to turn into a marionette, speeding up in an instant.
It seemed like time was moving faster, but because everything on the crystal seemed so real, it was weird.
Rahu looked at Magellan with a calm face, a little surprised, and then relieved - the people chosen by the three great gods must be far superior to ordinary people, even gods.
"Time is no longer an obstacle, you can speed up the flow of time at will, everything will happen as it is reality, except for time. ”
Rahu let go of his hand, and the image on the crystal rested on the king's face.
"You can control everything in this country, all the people and things that can influence the outcome of the horse festival, as long as the horse festival ends smoothly, you win. ”
"Simple, isn't it?"
"Fair enough. ”
For the first time, Magellan saw what kind of power the gods who really controlled the world had undiminished, and in the eyes of the asuras, a country, a powerful country, everything in it, everyone, was just a toy in the game.
But that didn't matter, all Magellan wanted was a smooth end to his asceticism.
It took him a moment to get used to the feeling of being in control, and by the same time, Rahu, who was in control of the other four countries, had already begun to act.
Accustomed to being in control of everything like this, the Asura began to send warnings to the surrounding kingdoms, and no one doubted the truth of the news, which in their eyes was a gift from the gods.
Magellan watched the faces of countless people flash on half of the crystal, and Rahu mastered the situation with ease, allowing the four countries to form an alliance, and in the accelerated time, everything was completed in a moment.
And in the process, Magellan did nothing.
"I suggest you do something," Asura finally finished his preparations, he looked up at Magellan, only to find that the other party had done nothing, "Because the flow of time becomes faster, so a short stagnation can bring a huge lag. ”
"I know. ”
Magellan looked down at the crystal, not in a hurry.
"Is this deliberately designed? I can see everything you do. ”
Rahu looked at the unobstructed scene on the crystal and nodded: "Because it's fair, it doesn't matter, you can see what I did, and I can see what you did." ”
Magellan nodded, and then got to work.
The first thing he did was to assemble the army, blocking the mare's path.
The Asura who watched all this was shocked.
"I didn't break the rules, did I?"
Magellan spoke slowly, and Rahu, who was about to say something, swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
The horse festival, as a sacrifice, is an indispensable part of the mare's trajectory is completely random, which means that the choice is given to the gods, and the king who performs the sacrifice regards the random result as the will of the gods and obeys it absolutely.
So no one ever interfered with the mare's walk during a horse sacrifice, and what Magellan did was unprecedented.
But because of this, there is no rule that you can't interfere with the mare's trajectory.
Rahu felt that he had to do something, otherwise he was not sure what the human would do: "If you let the mare never cross the border, then the horse sacrifice will not end." ”
"Of course," Magellan smiled, "I never thought of doing that, don't worry, all four countries will go." ”
Rahu suddenly realized that he had to do something.
Originally, according to the trajectory of the mare's movements, it was the Red Kingdom that would face the White Army next, and Rahu had asked the Four-Nation Alliance to gather troops on the border line and build a defensive line, but now, the mare was blocked.
Moreover, where the horse will go next is all in Magellan's control.
In addition to the Red Country, the remaining three countries of the Four Nations have already sent their armies, and now they are empty of troops and are powerless to resist.
Time was ticking, and for the first time Rahu regretted letting time go so fast.
He began to mobilize the army.
A difficult problem was in front of Asura, he didn't know which country the white country would attack next, so he could only disperse his forces and give up his original advantage, and even so, he still couldn't completely hold the border.
When Rahu finally completed the defensive line with great effort, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked up, only to find that Magellan on the opposite side had not advanced at all.
The army surrounded the mare and circled the territory of the White Country.
"Are you ready?"
Magellan glanced at the half crystal in front of Rahu, and smiled.
"Let's get started. ”
Rahu smiled helplessly.
In any case, it is too late now, this mortal has already taken advantage by trickery, and the four countries can only fight against the central white country with their own forces.
But that's enough.
It's not that the Asura has done nothing, and the alliance of the four countries can get more than just a military advantage. They communicate with each other, and the strength of all kingdoms has been greatly improved. Chariots, war elephants, cavalry and infantry, all the armies of the four kingdoms were redistributed together, guarding the terrain that best suited them, and it was a war that could not be lost.
Moreover, Rahu also prepared a final move.
In the horse festival, the mare must enter the kingdom for the war to occur, and Rahu is sure that in the war, the mare will be separated from the army of the white country and introduced to the next country.
There is no possibility of defeat in a war with two countries against one.
War broke out.
There were no twists and turns, no surprises, and as Rahu had calculated countless times before, the army followed the mare into the Red Country, and then the war began.
Rahu tirelessly controlled the course of the war, commanding almost every soldier just to make the war go according to plan.
He did it.
Although the White army routed the Red and broke through the fortress by a great margin, the battle was eventually delayed to the rear.
That means that this army is bound to go to war with the next country.
Rahu looked at the crystal in front of him, it was a chaotic scene, the battlefield was full of blood and corpses, although the army under his control was being defeated, but Asura was in a good mood.
"Because there was no army to stop it, the horse moved. ”
