After greeting the High Priest of the Sect's No. 3 and Neuham, who had been suspended but had been appointed as the next Knight Chief, a disdainful gaze swept over the wanderer, and finally fell on Doyle. Sensing the power of Dawn, Blake confirmed that the Knight of Dawn, whom he had personally met only a few months earlier, had apostatized, as rumored to be.
The Captain of the Legion of Vengeance looked grim, and his undisguised killing intent made Link hurry to end the conversation with Gonzalez.
The paranoid fanatical Vengeance Army of the Dawn followers is at least half of the burden, and the vast majority of the execution of apostates is also done by this department.
Worried that Black, who is notoriously stubborn, will be bad for Doyle, Link moves his foot and blocks Doyle.
Black didn't know Doyle's true gender, and the identity of the Demon Heir was a secret even within the Dawn Sect, and he was simply disgusted by the betrayal of the sect and the rumor that made him angry - the knight of the church who was supposed to succeed Duke Cronberg was replaced by a half-elf found by the Children of Nature out of nowhere.
An orthodox aristocrat, the Knight of the Dawn of Dawn, was denied the right of inheritance, and was detached from the Church in such a pitiful way as 'adoptive adoption'...... The wreckage is unforgivable!
Blake's impression of Link was still the same as the Battle of Grantham a few months earlier, and in his opinion, the Pillar had specially recruited the Otherworldly Life Weaver who was nothing special except that he could not be predicted.
"It's a pity to be attached to someone else's wing. ”
"There is no restraint of prohibition, and it is more than enough to beat you down. ”
Without naming names, Link didn't care if the other party could understand or not, in front of so many people, he must not let Black continue to humiliate Doyle. It's not just a matter of face, it's more likely to irritate Doyle, whose power is limited because of the seal. Her personality is already sensitive and suspicious.
As the highest-ranking priest present, he stepped forward and stopped the war of words that was faintly escalating, "I heard that the Overwatch Fortress is chasing the retreating undead?" The meaning behind these words is how to return to Grantham.
After the joy of the reunion, Gonzalez grimaced, "I'm glad you came. I'm worried about how to get the information out there without leaking it. ”
Gonzalez's words succeeded in attracting Link's attention, as Alysina had expected.
"You've probably heard that the undead retreated north with the stormy sea. ”
Link nodded, and then, he thought of the prophetic dream he had had more than ten days ago, could it be that......
"I wanted to take advantage of this great opportunity to annihilate the small group of undead who were left behind, but I didn't expect ......" Gonzalez's eyes flickered, and he spoke in a slurred manner, and Blake on the side was anxious. Take his words directly.
"I'll leave it to me. In pursuit of the undead, the Archduke of Befast found the undead killing each other in a fortress controlled by the undead Empire. Strictly speaking, it was the Lich and the Death Knight who led their respective men to fight among themselves. ”
Sure enough, this is the ...... Link secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Blake, who had been observing his expression, was not surprised when he saw that Lin Keyan was not surprised, and hurriedly turned his gaze to the great priest, seeing that she was also calm, and couldn't help but be suspicious, "What, you already know?"
Grantham is much more secluded than other human settlements. There are no cobwebs here, to prevent magical communication from being exploited by the undead. The Messenger Stone was never used, and the flow of information came entirely from past business travelers. For the same reason, the Watchtower hardly uses the Messenger Stone, so neither the Avengers nor the Watchberg know that Link has known about the undead infighting more than ten days ago.
See the archpriest's gaze glancing toward Link. Blake reacted immediately.
Yes, the Child of Nature has a divine revelation that is even more powerful than prophecy, and can directly use the divine power granted by the pillar to predict the future.
"This is not a good place for a long conversation. "Even if Malik could have known about his life through the Guò Emblem, Link would not have spoken his prophetic dreams in front of a wanderer of the Thorn of Shadows.
Bright gives Adjutant Harper an order to place the entourage that comes with Link. As for secret talks. Only the Grand Duke of Befast, the Grand Priest, the Child of Nature, and his vengeful leader participated.
In the face of Doyle's opposition, he replied with a sneer: "Even Neham was not present, why should you have no position and no status?"
As the fifth-most powerful figure in the Dawn Sect, Neham calmly followed the Harper Trail that led the way.
It is inconvenient to say it directly, Lin Ketong guò wanted to appease Doyle, as long as he knew, she knew differently, why bother with this. Neham understands this very well.
Doyle glared fiercely at Brian, who was deliberately embarrassing himself, and angrily caught up with Neham, who had already gone away. Asa, who had a lower status, was naturally not able to attend, so he nodded to Link before slowly leaning behind Doyle.
"Alright, the idlers and others have been branched out, and we should also talk about business. Brian turned and walked in the other direction, since the last siege of the undead, he had set up a series of enchantments for the command post located underground to prevent the underground passage directly below the fortress of Guò from intruding.
Gonzalez continued the conversation as before, although Fort Watch had recruited more displaced people than in previous years due to Vaolet's harsh entry conditions, but the regular army with combat effectiveness had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and the recruits could not fill the gap without months of training and several combat experiences. So he left Dante, who was the temporary commander, and the nobles in Grantham, and led his elite mobile troops around to find small groups of undead, honing his skills and impressing the soldiers personally.
Soon, Gonzalez realized that something was wrong. It is not so much that the undead are like a rout like a mountain of defeat, but that these low-level undead, who are considered thoughtless, retreat in an orderly manner, no matter how many they are, have no intention of fighting. Eventually, his doubts were confirmed in the land that had been revealed after the ebb tide of the Storm Sea and had belonged to Erasius.
The Lich and the Death Knight, the two strongest troops in the Undead Empire are killing each other in the fortress under the control of the Undead Empire, Gonzalez, who saw this scene with his own eyes, couldn't believe his eyes, he was a human being, he was subordinate to Longyan Fort, fighting with the undead, never thought that the undead who were united with the outside would also be as infighting as humans.
"What about time?" As one of the few people who knew the truth, Link was more concerned about Gonzalez's time. He was deeply impressed by the scene when Frost Han saw himself peeping in his dream, Divine Revelation is the same as foreknowledge, using divine power to peep into the method of fate, across time and space, Frost Han can actually feel it, worthy of the title of the strongest henchman of the Grim Reaper.
Link wasn't sure if Future Frost would have a way to convey his dream peeps to his past self. If you can...... Perhaps Gonzalez saw a smoke bomb deliberately released by Frost to confuse humanity and the anti-undead alliance that was still being formed, creating the illusion that the undead empire was dividing and the three lords were fighting for command. In fact, they had long agreed that the retreat with the Storm Sea was nothing more than a cover for a new offensive that was about to unfold.
"Fourteen days ago. ”
Link snorted, this awkward moment was the day he had his prophetic dream.
"Is there something wrong?" Gonzalez could read from Link's expression that his feelings were not quite right, a little helpless, and more uneasy.
"I don't know if you should be held together to defend against a counterattack that may come at any time, or should you retreat to preserve your strength?" Link pressed his forehead, and the choice made him very difficult.
Choosing the former puts the Avengers and the Overwatch at risk, the few armies of humanity that can fight the undead.
Take the latter, not to mention that the stubborn Blake will not agree, and even Gonzalez may not listen to his advice.
Moreover, there is no way back for humanity. This attack is different from the past, it is a matter of its own survival, Hicks will not show mercy to his subordinates, and it is possible to completely exterminate the human race in order to achieve the goal of completely corroding the column.
Blake and Gonzalez said in unison, "Are the retreats and infighting of the undead fake?"
Link nodded, and told the prophetic dream in its entirety, "Frost has recovered from the destruction of the life box and returned to the Immortal Empire. The days of human escape are over, and in order to completely corrode the pillar and cut off the existence that threatens him, Hicks will start this war with the aim of exterminating humanity, and even the creatures of the material world. ”
Although they had already guessed this possibility, Blake and Gonzalez couldn't help but gasp when they heard it with their own ears.
For a long time, the undead and humans have been in an unequal confrontation, and the nobles have no intention of fighting, and even collude with the undead in private, exchanging land and people for money and their own lives. As for the civilians, they are afraid of death, and they have the mentality of hiding if they can, and running if they can, which is simply a negative response. The Dwarves have nothing to do with themselves, and there are conflicts with humans in the slave trade and ancient wars, the glow elves who were once allies are blocked by the barrier together with the Pillar of Earth, and the wood elves are hiding under the protection of the Wind Pillar, and may not be willing to join the battle. If the Empire of the Dead really goes to war with all its might, I am afraid that mankind will not be able to escape this catastrophe.
"Over there in Xindu...... Does the High Priest have any countermeasures?" Blake was away all the year round, but with his knowledge of Francesca, he did not think that the High Priest would allow this possibility of leading the entire human race, and even the material world, to become a reality.
Alysina glanced at Gonzalez, intentionally or unintentionally, "Under the oracle of Dawn, the second Council of Mirrors was just held in secret and a new anti-undead alliance was reached, and all the princes except Erasius agreed. In addition, dwarves and wood elves also opted in under Link's persuasion. ”
Blake turned his head sharply and looked at Gonzalez beside him, "You didn't even reveal a word to me about such a big matter as the Alliance?!"
