Chapter 218: The Second Oracle
readx;??“ We've heard about it outside. Pennis said with a wry smile www.biquge.info "The undead have received an oracle not long ago, the door of death will be opened soon, and the undead need to form a large force as soon as possible, and invade the world of the living as soon as the gate is opened, and build their own fortress." For the will of the gods, the undead will obey unconditionally, therefore, soon a skeleton army composed of hundreds of thousands of high-level undead has been organized, as soon as the door of death is opened, without a moment's delay rushed out of the gate and stepped into the world of the living. ”
"This message, as I just said, is when praying, the gods directly feed back into the consciousness of the undead, so basically all the undead have received this message in a short period of time, even if there are a few undead who have not had time to pray and have not received the oracle, they will also understand the situation from the talk of the surrounding undead. Finch sighed and said, "Danacus crossed us and conveyed the oracle without our knowledge, and we had no idea what was going on, so there was no time for any reaction." And the undead, because we didn't say anything about it, thought that we had acquiesced in their actions, so a few leaders of the skeleton clan took the lead and gathered a large army. You just said that there are hundreds of thousands of high-level undead?heh, you are also underestimating the appeal of Ms. Nelly, the undead army that was initially assembled, even after strict screening, has reached the scale of 300,000, that is, the number is twice as many as you have seen. ”
"Hiss......" Pannis gritted his teeth and took a breath of cold air, it is conceivable that if the 300,000 skeleton troops swarm out of the door of death, it will definitely touch the bottom line that the living soul can accept, and now the two sides are in a state of confrontation, because with the current scale of the undead, it is still within the artificial control range of the living beings, so the living beings can still maintain the confrontation temporarily, but if the size of the undead is doubled, it will be completely beyond the acceptable range of the living beings, in order to eliminate the hidden danger, the living beings will definitely take the initiative to launch an attack and completely destroy the current fragile peace。
"However, when the troops were gathered around the capital, we still discovered the anomaly, and I had to intervene and urgently summon several leaders for questioning. Lucia explained: "It was very dangerous, it almost revealed the fact that we did not receive the oracle, but fortunately, the gods deliberately concealed the fact that the archbishop directly conveyed the oracle to the faithful, and it was difficult for people to believe it, so we were fooled, but at this time, we also learned the content of the oracle from the mouths of the undead." Of course, I don't really understand, but Finch said that at this time, Danakus had a very dangerous counterattack, and if we didn't find out, I'm afraid Nelly's plan would be completely ruined, is it really that serious?"
"It's really that serious. Catherine nodded vigorously, "I also told the leaders outside that there were several times when the undead broke out of the door of death and began to build the city, and once the conflict broke out, it would definitely lead to all-out war. If you think about it, this scale is so dangerous now, and if there are more undead troops, the consequences will never be optimistic. ”
"Then it seems that Finch's decision was not wrong. Lucia said, "Finch asked me to persuade the leaders that 300,000 troops were too large and a waste. After all, the oracle didn't determine how many troops needed to be sent, so we took advantage of this and cut the number in half. The undead were very strange about our intentions, and we had to reluctantly suppress the discontent in the hearts of the undead who had been excluded on the pretext that it was a supplement to the oracle that the gods feared that the size of the troops would be too large and provoke war. However, all we can do is to cut it in half, and it is estimated that if it continues to be cut, it should arouse the suspicion of the public. ”
"That's a good number. Pannis reassured: "It's just stuck on the bottom line of the creatures, and if the number is small, it may have the opposite effect, so you don't have to feel sorry." ”
"I'm calculating based on the strength of living beings a hundred years ago. Finch explained, "Then I think the number of hundreds of thousands is still a bit much, but if you say so, it seems that in the past hundred years, the combat effectiveness of the creatures has also grown." ”
"Of course, the war of the dead a hundred years ago was also a stimulus to the living. Pannis nodded: "At that time, it was not a bad thing for the persecuted creatures to unite to fight against the undead, in the hundred years after the end of the war, the exchanges between various races have become more and more frequent, which has invisibly promoted the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the creatures, so that the creatures have a greater grasp of the second undead invasion, which is also the only benefit of the last undead war." ”
"In that case, we are relieved. Finch breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The two of us have been worrying these days, lest we have caused a catastrophe because of our inability. After listening to your words, I can finally get a good night's sleep. ”
"I'm afraid it's a little early to say that I can get a good night's sleep. Pannith shook his head and said, "Otherwise, you won't have to forge a second oracle." ”
"The second oracle is not actually a forgery, but it has been slightly modified. Finch corrected, "Back in her last communication with Lady Nelly, she detailed her plan, which mentioned how to gradually engage with the creatures once the door of death opened. At that time, she made it clear that after going out of the door of death, the undead themselves must maintain restraint, and in the face of the temptation of the living beings, they must not take the initiative to attack, otherwise they will lose the opportunity to coexist forever. So, after forcibly cutting half of our troops, a few days later, we gathered all the leaders, including the leaders who had led the group out to build the city, and conveyed Ms. Nelly's request, and made it clear that it was Ms. Nelly's wishes. However, we changed the time a bit, and told them that it was an oracle from Lady Nelly, not something left over a year ago. ”
"In fact, it must be admitted that there is some contradiction between the second oracle and the command of Danacus. Lucia added: "However, the leaders accepted it easily, and I think it had something to do with the fact that I had often conveyed Nelly's orders to them as archbishops, and they had become accustomed to taking my words as Nelly's orders, and it was impossible to doubt them easily." ”
