Chapter 480: Cheruth's Speculation
As for the memory of the last part of the battle with Silaire, Cheruth did not have many clear impressions in her mind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Three years ago, during the Kells Rebellion, Chelus had the experience of forcibly using her unawakened innate ability to raise her strength to the seventh order, and at that time, she remembered the physical and mental pain caused by the load caused by the overuse of her ability.
However, at that time, her strength was still relatively immature after all, and the law of talent had not really awakened. Thinking about the situation now, it didn't matter if she maintained the peak state of the sixth order of the Demon Martial for a long time when she was fighting, although she hadn't tried it yet, she felt that even if she took the risk of evolving to the seventh order, she wouldn't be so severely overwhelmed as she was then.
However, last night's final evolution was a complete slap in the face.
When faced with the invincible Silaire who had no choice but to rely on the law of evolution to advance to the seventh order, she was originally prepared to bear a huge load on her body, but she didn't expect that this time the backlash on her mental power and vitality was actually nearly ten times more violent than the previous time she felt in her memory.
Except for the fact that she manipulated the Dissociation Flowing Wind to attack Silaire and then rushed over with a seventh-order heroic fighting spirit, Cheruth's will at that time could no longer support her to recall other things, and even when her will finally dissipated, she felt that her body and soul must have exploded.
Soon, Cheruth heard from Raphael about what happened during the last night's battle when she had a vague memory due to the backlash of the law, and then she was naturally shocked into a cold sweat.
Almost less than a minute after Silaire left, she fell to the ground unconscious. That is, thanks to the powerful arcane spell released by Selman just after he woke up, as well as the golden fighting spirit of Cheruth before his will disappeared and the Nolan mark on his forehead, otherwise, as long as Silaire stayed a little longer and left later, maybe he could really achieve his original goal and kill the three of them in one pot.
However, in the end, the three of them survived unharmed, which is naturally better than anything else.
It was already midnight at the end of the battle, and Cheruth had slept for most of the day, and it was noon the next day after the ambush of Eric's Town, and their current position was because Ceroth was busy running for her life and didn't care about the direction of progress at all, so she couldn't judge at all, only that it should be on a plain with a few small woods somewhere near Eric's Town.
Selman woke up less than an hour after the battle, and although he was still unable to move his body freely due to the injuries caused by the spatial turbulence, at least his spirit was much stronger than before. Raphael, on the other hand, is to take care of the two people with limited mobility, and he has not slept since last night, although he naturally tries hard to hide it, but that tired look will still be inadvertently revealed.
Although he couldn't move yet, at least Selman was able to do it with basic self-defense, and Cheruth had already woken up, so there was no need for Raphael to continue to hold on, and soon, the wolf girl forced her to stay and sleep for a while, and wait for her to rest until she was rested.
Although Raphael was still worried about everyone in Eric's town, she also knew that with the current strength of her own people, not to mention whether she could go back, even if she went back to face the enemy like the white-haired wind magician before, the three of them probably couldn't provide any effective help and might become a burden, so Raphael was not stubborn, and obediently lay down under the supervision of Cheruth to the simple bed she had made of leaves for the wolf girl before, closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Cheruth sat next to Raphael, and after watching her fall asleep, the wolf girl turned her head to look at Thelman and smiled bitterly at the same time.
One day and one night, this series of events unfolded so that they had no respite, and now they could finally sort out the cause and effect.
In order not to disturb Raphael, Cheruth lowered her voice and succinctly told Selman about the Fallen Warcraft incident that they had appeared in Eric's Town, which was less than half a continent away from the Warcraft Forest, and Eric's Town.
“...... So, the Nolan clan actually wants to secretly create an army of fallen demonic beasts in the Warcraft Forest, and then teleport to the hinterland of the Solan Holy Kingdom through an ultra-long-distance spatial teleportation array, and it is very likely that they will attack the Solan Holy City next?"
Selman quickly grasped the situation and came to the same conclusions and confusion as Cheruth.
"However, since these of your fellow clansmen have such abilities, why would they directly expose themselves in Eric Town? as long as they hide properly, they can secretly accumulate enough Fallen Demonic Beasts in Eric Town and launch a surprise attack on the nearby Solan Holy City in one fell swoop......, wouldn't the effect be much better at that time? Let the Solan Cult lose a seventh-order archbishop, but after that, they can only fight with the Solan Cult in a frontal battle, so that even if they reach the foot of the Holy City, I am afraid that their strength will not be enough to pose any threat to the Solan Holy City. ”
"Who knows," Cheruth shrugged, "maybe they had some other cards left unplayed, or maybe they had planned it that way but were accidentally broken by the Cultists or civilians on Eric's side and had to start the plan early...... Or maybe it's just that we're thinking too much, and this time the Nolan's purpose was to do so much to make the Solan Cult pay a small price and get a little heartbeat. ”
Selman frowned, the last statement must not make sense, after all, the Nolan clan made such a big move in the Warcraft Forest, and the result was to carry out a scaremongering attack on the enemy's doorstep, which was really not cost-effective. The first two guesses Cheruth said should be eight and nine and not far from ten.
“...... By the way, Cheruth, you said that you woke up before the battle last night, did you get in touch with the Warcraft Forest?" Selman said, suddenly thinking of the time yesterday, after he and Cheruth teleported away, only Helan and the seriously injured Gray Wind should be left on the battlefield Facing a total of four seventh-order masters on the other side, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, "Helan, and Gray Wind, how are they?"
"Not yet, I couldn't contact Sister Gray Wind last night, and after I woke up just now, I tried to contact Sister Gray Wind again with the summoning contract, but there was still no response...... However, the will link of the summoning contract still exists, and Sister Gray Wind should be fine, but she was probably too seriously injured in the battle before, and she may not have regained consciousness until now. ”
Because Thelman is also his own father as Grey Wind's biological father, Cheruth had already told him that he had signed an equal summoning contract with Grey Wind.
The thought that Grey Wind had been so badly injured this time that he had not recovered from a day and a night had not yet recovered, and Cheruth's voice was full of worry and loss, and Selman's face was also not good, but he still spoke.
"It's okay...... At that time yesterday, I rushed over after you to save Gray Wind from that black-robed bastard, I can be sure that although Gray Wind was seriously injured at that time, but because of this, she was too emotional at that time, which caused the red dragon bloodline in her body to automatically awaken, our dragon clan is one of the most powerful races on the continent with the strongest self-recovery ability, although Gray Wind is not a pure-blooded dragon clan, but my bloodline in her body is the purest vein of the red dragon clan, as long as the bloodline awakens, it should not be life-threatening. ”
Knowing that Selman's heart was definitely not easier than herself, she did not continue the conversation, but took out the communication stone that Sekaria had given her when she had escaped from the inn from her bosom.
"I can't get in touch with Sister Gray Wind, but luckily, I brought this with me. ”
Selman's eyes lit up.
"The Communication Stone, was it given to you before Helan's operation?"
"No, it's not the communication stone for Aunt Herland," Chelus shook her head, "another good friend of mine. Do you remember yesterday before the operation, I contacted the emissaries of the Loris Kingdom in the adventurer town through Sister Greywind, formed an alliance with them, and then brought in a group of human mercenary reinforcements? I hadn't had time to contact her because the battle had come so suddenly, but now I've finally settled down for the time being. ”
With that, Cheruth removed the special pen from the side of the communication stone, preparing to drop it on the communication stone input screen.
"So, will that friend of yours know what's going on in the forest?"
Selman asked, skeptically, and Cheruth shrugged helplessly.
"I don't know, but at least that's the only person I can reach remotely right now. Like you said, I'm not sure if she knows what we want to know, and it's even possible that she's not in the forest anymore and hasn't met Aunt Heran. After all, the human mercenaries were only tasked with feints in yesterday's battle, and after that my friend was with the other human mercenaries...... Breakout ......"
As she spoke, Cheruth's mouth slowed and her eyes widened.
Selman was slightly startled.
"What's wrong?"
The wolf girl didn't seem to hear it, she looked at the communication stone in her hand in a daze and didn't know what she was thinking, just when Selman was in a hurry and even wanted to stand up and go over to see what happened to Cherus, suddenly Cherus raised her head and looked at Selman in shock.
“...... Uncle, feint! Nolan, the fallen monster in Eric Town, may be a feint!"
Selman blinked, and instantly understood what Chelus meant.
No wonder the Nolan clan obviously used the long distance between the Warcraft Forest and Solan Holy City and the hidden ultra-long teleportation array to set up such a good game, but before they gathered the army of fallen Warcraft to attack Solan Holy City, they exposed the existence of Fallen Warcraft in Eric Town, and even staged the scene last night that would definitely be guarded by the Solan Divine Cult.
Because it was too difficult to set up this kind of ultra-long-distance spatial teleportation array across half of the continent, they subconsciously ignored the possibility that since the other party had the ability to build one, it was difficult to guarantee that they could build more. After debunking this misconception and thinking about it carefully, the Nolans' previous behavior of sealing off the forest is obviously extremely suspicious.
If it was just to prevent humans outside the forest from detecting that teleportation array, then the Nolan clan would not have to be so enthusiastic to control the demonic beast race in the entire forest and eliminate all humans who entered the forest, and if the teleportation array that teleported her and Selman was the only one, then its importance can be imagined, and the Nolan clan would naturally not use it as bait so rashly.
Therefore, it is very likely that the Nolan clan has other teleportation arrays in the forest that lead to the vicinity of the Holy City in the Holy Kingdom of Solan, or even within the Holy City. And everything that happened in Eric's town, even the arrogant ambush of a Soran archbishop last night, was just a feint to lure the Soran Cult to send its army to the Holy City near Eric's town. When Solan Holy City's defenses were weakened to a certain extent as a result, it was when the Nolan Clan activated the remaining teleportation array to teleport more Fallen Demonic Beasts from the Demonic Beast Forest to launch a final attack.
The wolf girl and Selman glanced at each other, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the feint attack was actually not a very superb conspiracy method, but the key was that who would have thought that the Nolan clan would go to great lengths to set up a spatial teleportation array across most of the continent and even ambush a seventh-order strength archbishop in a high-profile manner just to create a feint?
Soon, however, Cerus's face turned very bad again.
After seeing the Fallen Monsters in Eric's Town with her own eyes, Cheruth was very sure that the degree of demonic aura infection on those Demonic Beasts was not weaker than the Fallen Monsters she encountered outside the ruins in the Southwest Desert when she was in the Southwest Desert, and even because she was very familiar with the normal appearance of most of these Demonic Beasts, Cheruth found that many of the Fallen Monsters that appeared in Eric's Town had more or less strange and evil mutations in their physical appearance.
Obviously, this time the Warcraft were different from the sand bandits at that time, not because they were inadvertently contaminated with the demonic aura leaked from the underground ruins and thus mutated, but were deliberately eroded by the demonic aura generated by the Nolan side, so the demonization of the Warcraft was much higher than that of the sand bandits at that time. Thinking of the mercenary she had encountered in the desert ruins who had almost been completely eroded by the demonic aura and almost turned into a real demon, Cerus suddenly felt that this revenge of the Nolan clan seemed to be ...... It will really bring an unexpected disaster to the continent that has been calm for thousands of years. (To be continued.) )
