Chapter 44: Things Are Not Going Right
"I'll tell you the truth, we've had a hard time locking them down since they've come together, and these damn devils seem to be getting their way to our senses...... Now, if they all break through, we can stop some of them, but most of them should be able to break through our defenses, but I don't know why they haven't done it yet. Longbottom gritted his teeth and told the truth.
"Perhaps, they have learned to think, and all your actions are seen as death throes in their eyes. Once they have studied your patterns of behaviour, it is time for them to slaughter, and it should be difficult for you to do them any more harm. β
Roger tapped his index finger lightly on the tabletop, and spoke slowly.
These are really just his speculations, but from the situation that Longbottom said, this is indeed the most likely scenario.
"No matter how they plan it, there is no need to analyze it at all, our task is to block the source where they came, and then kill them one by one, big fists are the last word!" Ram said nonchalantly as he cut through the food on his plate.
"Not bad. Augustine chimed in.
Roger was not as optimistic as them, and said differently, "That's true, but have you ever thought that if they break through the blockade of the continental alliance, continue to kill, and continue to evolve, are you really so confident that you can destroy them? Don't forget, now they have the ability to parasitize and control the beginner wizard apprentices......
"And what do you mean?" Ram felt that Roger seemed to have some truth in what he said.
"I mean, we have to get rid of as many of the 'parasites' as we can first, so that their numbers are manageable. In this way, in the process of sealing the source, these coalition forces should be able to contain the few remaining 'parasites' in the residence, and after we seal the source, it will not be too late to come back and clear the remaining 'parasites'. Roger spoke his mind.
"Okay, you've got a good idea, so let's do it!" Ram clapped his hands.
"Your Excellency Roger is wise. β
Harrison nodded in praise without hesitation.
"Reasonable. Augustine had no intention of saying more, but he clearly agreed to Roger's proposal.
Only Carnegie had a big opinion of Roger's 'fingering', and in his opinion, Roger completely robbed him of his responsibilities as a team leader, and what he said was all nonsense.
However, seeing that several other people agreed, Carnegie also knew that now was not the time for conflict, so he only briefly echoed: "So be it, I have no opinion." β
Longbottom listened to the meaning of the words of several people, which was to take the initiative to kill those 'parasitic species', and his heart was suddenly surprised and happy, he only thought that Roger and the others were here to help hold the blockade line, but he did not expect them to take the initiative to find the trouble of those 'parasitic species'.
Because of the horror of the 'parasitic species', he knew it all too well, especially after controlling the group of knights who went to eliminate them, their overall strength had definitely more than doubled.
"Adults, are you preparing...... Ready to get rid of those 'parasites'?" asked Longbottom, in a trembling voice of excitement to test his idea.
"That's what we're here for. β
Roger chuckled, "All you need to do is find someone to show us the way, and don't worry about the rest." β
"Yes, yes, if the adults don't mind, I'll be the one to show the way, and I'm all too familiar with them. Longbottom volunteered.
"Then you can do it. Roger said indifferently.
Wayne is also willing to do his part. At this time, Wayne, the silver-haired old man on the side, was also busy.
"Go all of them, multiple people have more strength. β
Ram agreed in a big way, for him, of course, more people than less people.
Early the next morning.
Roger's men, along with Wayne and Longbottom, appeared in a valley not far from the Continental Coalition blockade, and around them there were several corpses of varying deaths.
"No, who's that, are you sure this is the nest of those 'parasitic species'?" Ram asked, holding a wooden staff in his hand that was completely disproportionate to his size, towards Longbottom.
Longbottom was in shock at this time, and finally had a clearer idea of the strength of Roger's people, and it was only at this time that he realized that he had been sitting in a well and watching the sky.
Hearing Ram's question, he was pulled back to reality and hurriedly replied, "Yes, my lord, I'm pretty sure this is their lair...... But for some reason, none of them seem to be here. β
"Did you change your position?"
On the side, Roger frowned.
From the time Longbottom brought them here, they only encountered a total of no more than twenty parasites controlled by the 'parasite', and none of them belonged to the controlled knights, they were just ordinary parasites, so Roger killed them one by one without much effort.
But the number of 'parasites' here is too far from what Longbottom said, I'm afraid it's not even a tenth, which makes Roger and the others feel that something is a little wrong.
"Shadow Twistβ"
Not far away, Carnegie muttered, and the next moment, he saw a 'parasitic seed' found from a dead corpse and magically fixed it in the clearing.
"Harrison, over to you!" Carnegie said to Harrison.
"yes, let Harrison see it. Ram reflected.
Harrison also understood what Carnegie meant, and hurriedly walked over, and once again cast a wood-based detection spell on the motionless 'parasitic seed' - all things perception.
Closing his eyes, a familiar green light appeared in Harrison's palm.
This time, the 'parasite' couldn't still struggle like the last one, and the 'parasite' trapped by Carnegie's spell couldn't even tremble.
After a while, Harrison suddenly opened his eyes.
"It's not good. Harrison's face was a little unpleasant.
"What's going on?" Roger asked, seeing him like this.
"I see it in the memory of this 'parasite'......" Harrison did not sell off, and recounted in the briefest words what he had seen from the memory of this 'parasite' just now.
It turns out that the reason why these 'parasitic species' do not have the ability to reproduce is that they all come from the same mother, just like some insects in nature, only the mother has the ability to reproduce.
They were sent to this continent by the mother body through the spatial rift, and their ultimate purpose was to take the mother body on the other side of the spatial rift, but this required them to evolve to a certain extent, and then perform a self-sacrifice ritual to further tear the spatial rift, so that the mother body could take the opportunity to pass through.
The mother body of these 'parasitic species' is in the world, which was originally a prosperous dimension, but it is precisely because it was invaded by the mother body of these 'parasitic species' that it has become a dimensional without any living beings. The continent under Roger's feet is the new target of the 'parasitic species' mother.
The reason why some 'parasites' were left to assassinate the coalition forces from time to time was just to reduce the possibility that the coalition forces would interfere with the sacrificial ceremony, but they didn't expect to be broken by Roger and a few people.
