Chapter Ninety-Five: Entering the Port and Flaws
As is the case in any world, it is often not the enemies who cause the worst consequences, but the traitors. But greedy for life and afraid of the dead, traitors also have enough reasons to refute it with confidence, because they want to live, it's as simple as that!
We have no idea whether it is right or wrong, because human nature is the most elusive thing! At least for the time being, Baroque is satisfied with the performance of the magicians!
The people of Kuchi Island are indistinguishable from humans unless they enter the water. A ship sailed out of the harbor, and near the main ship of the baroque was clearly headed by the flotilla. Asking loudly about the meaning, the great magician behaved so that Baroque had to admire. In order to survive, he stopped trembling and fearing, and pretended to answer that person's words with an indifferent look!
The Apocalypse Holy See planned a sneak attack on Dragon Island, and sent people to Kuchi Island a long time ago to discuss it with the people here. Although they are only subhuman, it is clear that the people of Kuchi Island are completely human and obey the orders of the Holy See of the Apocalypse. After all, among the gods, the god of the sea and the god of light have always been the closest allies, and even the two of them are brothers. The dragon god and the elven goddess are faintly opposed to them. The people of Kuchi Island, who believe in the god of the sea, have no reason not to help the Holy See deal with the dragons!
Baroque had long known about the papal conspiracy from the mages and knew that they had already discussed everything. Just wait for the sea ships to transport a large number of magicians to Kuchi Island, and then you can carry out the plan to sneak attack Dragon Island!
The Grand Magician handed over the Holy See's token to the people of Kuchi Island who came by boat, and naturally confirmed that it was correct. Then he didn't believe that anyone dared to attack Kuchi Island, and that person's defense was greatly reduced. His tone softened a lot, and he asked the magicians to wait a while, and he went back to report to the great magicians of the Academy of Magic, so that he could remove the harbor and the city's defensive circle and let the fleet enter it!
"Very well, Lord Majaro, you are a rare man!" said Baroque with a smile behind the archmage as the Kuchi man left in the boat.
"I just hope you can keep your word. Don't hurt us!" Having come this far, the Grand Magician Majaro could only smile bitterly. As for guilt, now that the betrayal has been made, the word guilt doesn't exist in their minds. All they think about is what they should do next! Once the Holy See knows what they have done, how can they avoid the wrath and retaliation of the Holy See?
"Your Excellency the Baroque Shaman, I have a proposal, maybe you can listen to it!" said the Grand Magire of Majaro suddenly.
Baroque was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You say." I'm listening!"
"We all know that as long as the magical defenses of the people of Kuchi are removed, then no one will be able to stop you from taking this island. My proposal is...... Maybe you can choose to trust us. The archmage had an expression called ambition on his face: "You know, we have betrayed the Holy See, and it is no longer possible to get their forgiveness, and we even have to guard against assassination punishment from the Holy See all the time. We then have no choice but to seek refuge from you. Then why can't we take Kuchi Island and hand it over to us?"
Baroque was silent and listened as Mazzaro continued.
"We'll manage this place. You can't use those cities and harbors, but we magicians can. In this way, even if the Holy See sends people to attack again in the future. We can also be guarded against. Don't let the dragons drain their power here, I know your purpose, Baroque shaman. You've helped the dragons find a foothold so that they can use all their energy against the Holy See so that they can share the pressure of the orcs. If we keep Kuchi Island safe, we can keep the dragons from getting distracted, why not?"
"Lord Majaro, I admit that your proposal is very feasible, but how can I trust you? The cunning and shamelessness of human beings is known on the mainland, and I cannot afford any betrayal from you!" Baroque said calmly.
"We can make a covenant before the gods. ”
"Come on, I can trust the dragons, I can trust the elves. Even believe in the dark elf Silrutius, but you just can't trust you humans! It's really that your credibility is bankrupt, because of the so-called covenant, you have 10,000 ways to create loopholes in it, so that you can break it openly. We orcs aren't smart, I'm alone. I really don't have much confidence to see through the loopholes in the covenant. ”
Majaro was stunned for a moment, and the baroque's frankness and ruthlessness pierced the little bit of caution in his heart. Knowing that he couldn't deceive this orc, who was not like an orc, Majaro had no choice but to say almost pleadingly: "Then we beg you, Baroque shaman, when you capture Kuchi Island." Can you let us stay here and don't let us go back to the mainland. You know, when we go back, we won't be able to hide from the Holy See's retaliatory assassination!"
Baroque still shook his head: "No, no, no, you are all talents, how can I let you waste here? You know, among my subordinates are human nobles, human officials, human magicians, and even phantom warriors of the Holy See. And a talent like the Grand Magire of Majaro is exactly what we need. Therefore, I would like to sincerely invite you and me to return to the grasslands of the Horse Farm, to the territory of our orcs...... Oh, I guess it's going to be bigger at this point, right?Anyway, you and all the magicians need to go back with me!"
"Then we will die quickly, and we won't be able to help you at all!" Majaro was in a hurry, he had betrayed because he was afraid of death, if Baroque still asked him to go back and die, he might as well die here!
"Don't worry, you'll be protected, I promise. See my guards? That's the beast armor warrior who belongs to our beast clan, a warrior who is only stronger than the phantom armor warrior of the Holy See. I will arrange for them to protect you deliberately, and the Holy See will never send the Apocalypse to deal with you, right? If it is the assassin of the Heavenly Punishment Warrior, they will not be able to pass the level of beast armored warriors. ”
Baroque's words silenced Majaro and the magicians around him, knowing that since Baroque was not prepared to let them stay on the island of Kuchi, going back was the only option.
The baroque beast armored warrior guards, the magicians all see it in their eyes, and they also know the strength of these orcs. If there really are some such orcs to protect, maybe it wouldn't be bad. After all, with their status, it is not worth it for the Holy See to send the [Apocalypse] or the [Dark Judges] of the Holy See Inquisition to assassinate them. And if an ordinary Heavenly Punishment Warrior is an ordinary Heavenly Punishment Warrior, he is really not an opponent of the Beast Armored Warrior!
The magicians were silent, and Baroque acquiesced to his presence. Quietly looking in the direction of the harbor. The only city on Kutch Island is built along the coast, and this harbor is also protected by the city's magical defenses. Through the dim sunlight of the sky, a looming shield could be seen.
Suddenly, the shield flickered and trembled, like a blister, and then gradually burst and disappeared, and the magic defense shield was removed!
The dragon king hiding in the animal skin tarpaulin behind him had a little commotion, obviously excited. Baroque hurriedly whispered, this is the last critical moment, don't fall short because of a small oversight.
The departing ship soon returned, again from the same Kuchi Islander, who shouted to Majaro: "Your Excellency, please lead the fleet into the harbor with me, we have already prepared a place for you to anchor. ”
Majaro pretended to have the sailors fly the flag and the other ships to follow. Without that layer of defensive cover, it was very smooth, and slowly sailed into the port.
The docks were full of people, all of whom had come to prepare for the magicians sent by the Holy See. After all, Majaro is a great magician, and he has come to Kuchi Island more than once for magical academic exchanges, and knows most of the high-level Kuchi Island magicians here. As he got closer, he whispered to Baroque all the people on the docks.
The dean of the [Poseidon Halberd] Magic Academy, several highly respected magicians, and many magician professors, including almost all the high-level of the academy. Baroque pondered...... If the sneak attack can be successful in one fell swoop, it can completely paralyze the ruling class of the Kutch Islanders.
Quietly, the four brothers of Totem Beast Rak and Don Wolf left him......!
Success or failure was here, as the big ship leaned on the dock, those Kuchi Island magicians came to the ship with smiles on their faces, waiting for the continental magicians led by Majaro to disembark. Most of them knew each other well and began to greet each other warmly. Baroque can fool anyone by wearing the mask of the illusion, but he can't fool the magicians only by hiding behind him and not letting the people of Kuchi see clearly. As long as the totem beast Rak and the others finish their detour and surround the Kuchi mage from behind, then they will immediately launch a sneak attack, and he will not need to hide it.
The Baroque has thought of everything, but the world is like this, and it can never be foolproof. The human heart is unpredictable, although those dozens of human magicians are greedy for life and afraid of death, and give in to him. But at this moment of final success, one of the magicians on board suddenly discovered that he took advantage of the gap in the dock where Baroque was focused on it, and suddenly shouted: "Escape, this is a conspiracy, the ship is full of dragons!"
Baroque went crazy at that moment, this was simply a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo! He, who had always prided himself on being thoughtful in everything, actually had a fatal flaw at such a moment!
The Kutch magicians on the docks were stunned for a few seconds. And as if there was a chain effect, the other human magicians suddenly discovered their conscience, most of them suddenly erupted, and they didn't care about their physical weakness, so they jumped off the boat, even if they broke their legs, they shouted in their mouths: "Elf sneak attack, dragon sneak attack, quickly open the magic defense!"
What else is hidden? It has already been discovered! Baroque tore off his cloak, revealed his hideous face, roared angrily, and gave the order to attack the dragon, and also to the elven archers on every ship! The next moment, the overwhelming dragon flapped its wings from the ship, and the blazing flame dragon breath spewed out, raging throughout the dock............ )
