Chapter 35: The Plague
"That's right!" Count Ould immediately turned his worries into joy: "Although I don't know much about the secret arts, I do know that the mysterious items that make up the secret arts are incomplete, and the secret arts cannot be activated. Victor and the Catastrophe Plan were so well arranged, but I didn't expect that Shousuke-sama would cure my illness.
Shousuke-sama, when can I start treatment?"
Count Ould was eager to let Luke help him undo the spell he had cast on him now.
Luke said, "Wait until you find all the materials you need, I need to make some mysterious items on the spot, and I expect to be able to undo your spell for Lord Earl tomorrow."
But I'll remove the spell for you, and the calamity will be immediately noticed. Calamity, Victor, and the Fallen Angels are all in Sunshine, and they may use extreme means for the sake of the mystic."
Count Ould's relieved heart was hung again, and he pleaded, "Shousuke-sama, you must save me."
Luke didn't answer.
Count Ould anxiously asked, "What do you need me to do?" As long as Shousuke-sama needs it, you can take everything I have here."
With Ould's words, Luke smiled and said, "I can save you, but you need to save yourself. The power of the fallen angels, you don't need to worry too much. The angels already knew that the fallen angels appeared in the western realm, and as long as this group of fallen angels dared to show up in public, the angels would soon be able to support them.
You don't need to worry too much about the monster army summoned by the catastrophe, the Moonlight Court has entered a wartime state, and the barbarian tribes in the western realm will soon receive orders from the Moonlight Queen, and they will send warriors to the Moonlight Court to protect the World Tree.
The nobles of the Western Realms who have surrendered to the calamity need you to deal with it."
When Ould heard Luke's request, he was embarrassed and said, "I only have one oasis of the sun, how can I be an enemy of the entire noble forces of the West."
Luke said with confidence, "The nobles of the Western Realms who have surrendered to the Disaster must be only a small handful, and if the entire Western Nobles were confused by the Disaster, they would have already raised an army to attack the Moonlight Royal Court.
I have sent a demon hunting group to the noble territories of the Western Realms to investigate. War is imminent, and those nobles from the Western Realm who have surrendered to the disaster must be preparing for war, and it is actually clear at a glance whether they are friends or foes.
When the time comes, I will make it public that I am in Sunlight City, and in my capacity as the Empire's chief assistant and the Imperial Commissioner's inspector of the Western Frontier, I will order these nobles to disarm their territory and come to Sunyao City immediately to receive my inquiries."
Earl Ould understood Luke's plan and asked, "Lord Shousuke thinks that these nobles from the Western Realm know that you are in Sunshine City and will bring troops to attack my Sunyao Oasis?"
"It's Victor who knows that I'm in the Sunshine Territory, and will definitely convince Calamity to use the army of the Western Nobles in the Sunshine Oasis. We're in the Oasis of Sunshine, and we're going to fight a battle with the aristocratic armies of the Westlands who have been wiped out."
Fighting a battle in the Oasis of Sunshine, Count Ould is like a flesh-cutting pain when he thinks about it.
The Oasis of Sunrise, which he has conscientiously run, may have been destroyed in the first battle. But if you don't agree, your life will be taken by the other party at any time.
Let's fight!
Life is like a big gamble. Lost, the entire Ould family was buried with the Oasis of Sunrise; If I win, will Shousuke-sama still treat me badly?
These are in tatters and smashed, so they can be replaced with new ones.
After figuring it out, Count Ould said proudly, "The Oasis of Sunrise is willing to fight for Lord Shousuke...... cough cough cough ......"
The depleted Count Ould coughed repeatedly.
Luke took out a candy, thought about it and handed it to the Earl: "Eating this candy is good for your body."
Count Ould took the candy and ate it, and a cool feeling began to spread from his throat to his whole body, and his body was indeed much lighter.
The Count couldn't help asking, "What kind of candy is this?" Can you give me a little more?"
"A friend gave it to me, but this friend of mine had a little accident, and I don't have much sugar left." Luke was very precious of the remaining candy, and he refused Earl Ould's request, and instead said, "That's all for today's meeting, you have a good rest, and tomorrow I will arrange a secret technique to treat you." In addition, I will be assigned the identity of a manor guard,
I need to set up some knick-knick-knacks in your manor to deal with possible intruders."
"Thank you very much!" Count Ould stood up and saluted Luke, "I immediately order the army of Sunshine to assemble and put the whole territory into combat mode."
Luke waved his hand, and Count Ould took a deep breath and left the chamber with feeble steps.
The room was quiet.
Luke was sorting through the information he had in his head.
The enemy was much stronger than he had expected before he came to the West, but the cards in his hand did not increase much. Opening up a battlefield in the Oasis of Sunshine can help relieve the pressure on the Moonlight Court. Pulling the enemy into the battlefield you have set up can also disrupt the opponent's arrangement.
There is not much I can do now, and whoever starts the war first will get the first advantage.
Fortunately, before coming to the West, he asked that McDonald kid to disguise himself as himself, and he also made a point to let him stay in the Crescent Oasis for a while longer.
For Victor, he still has some time to prepare.
Hopefully he'll be patient and wait a little longer.
……
The next day.
Victor takes Garand, disguised as an ordinary person, to an ordinary house.
There was only one old man living in the house, and his clothes were no different from those of the low-level residents of Sunshine City. The old man was thin and thin, with a kind face, and stood in the small courtyard with a cane. He raised his head, his eyes staring directly at the scorching sun in the sky, and the black hole was filled with mist.
Victor didn't introduce him, and Garland walked up to the old man and circled around him.
"I can barely feel your presence, but you're standing in front of me. You are the Calamity, a mysterious energy that has emerged as a result of the revival of the World Tree."
Instead of looking at Garand, he continued to stare at the sun and said, "I don't even know what I am. I only know my duty, destroy the World Tree, and then I will perish with the World Tree."
Garland asked, "Do you know what the World Tree means to the world?"
"What does this have to do with me?"
Garland smiled at his question, "yes, it has nothing to do with you. Victor told me that you are going to destroy the World Tree, and it just so happens that we are going to destroy the World Tree as well, and we can cooperate."
Although Garland still has that kind of dragging, his attitude towards the calamity is very different from his attitude towards Victor. He always kept a certain distance from the catastrophe and was ready to stay away at any time. He could sense that the calamity was a very dangerous thing, and he had to be vigilant even if he cooperated.
Calamity held that posture: "Cooperation? This is a term that Victor taught me. It's a good cooperation, my army is getting stronger and stronger, and soon I'll be attacking the World Tree, you can just listen to Victor's arrangement."
With such contempt, if it were someone else, Garland would have stepped forward and twisted his head. But in the face of the catastrophe, although Garand was angry, he still said in a good voice, "A lower creature is not qualified to command the fallen angels, and we are not here to cooperate to obey anyone's command.
I want to know if you can push your troops all the way under the World Tree with your specific military strength."
Calamity was still in that unhurried tone: "I can't give you an exact answer. I can accept failure, it doesn't matter once, twice, countless times, I just need to succeed once."
Garand, the fallen angel, finds himself unable to communicate with Doom, he looks at Victor and asks with his eyes what the hell is going on?
Everything was expected by Victor, and he smiled and said, "What Lord Doom thinks about is different from what we think, so that's why I have my assistant. The only purpose of Lord Catastrophe is to destroy the World Tree, and I will help him accomplish that.
Lord Cataclysm trusts me very much, and I can take his place to discuss cooperation with you."
Garland looked at Victor and asked "What are you looking at?"
"The moon is brighter than it used to be in the night, and now even the sun shines so brightly."
Garland looked at the sun, blinding
The sunlight made his child's hole shrink into a point.
During the month of being lost in the desert, he was accustomed to seeing the hot and scorching sun here, and he did not notice any change in the sun today.
Cataclysm is a difficult thing to communicate.
Either way, cooperation to destroy the World Tree will continue.
And just as Garand was about to say something more, Calamity suddenly turned his head and said to Victor, "The mysterious item you commissioned me to refine has been interrupted."
Victor asked, puzzled, "What does interruption mean?"
"Interruption is interruption, someone has cracked the spell I cast on that person, you need to find another way."
Victor immediately thought of Count Ould.
He is the only mysterious item commissioned by Cataclysm, one of the purposes of which is to prove whether the power of Cataclysm is related to the Abyss. If there is a connection, then the mystical items he has refined can be used in the mystical altar he has set up.
Now the spell that the Calamity had cast on Count Ould had been removed.
This not only affects the further judgment of the calamity, but also directly affects the continuation of the large-scale summoning secret art.
How did Count Ould do it?
But no matter how he cracks the spell, the creation of the mysterious item must be restored as soon as possible.
Victor said to Calamity, "The latest information, the Empire's new Primal Meteor has arrived in Crescent City, and he will stay in the Crescent Oasis for a while before entering the West. We still have time to remedy and complete the secret art here before the war begins.
Can you ask Lord Garland to capture Count Ould and have Lord Calamity directly refine him into a mysterious item?"
Calamity asks Victor, "Why do you mention meteorites so many times during this time? And before my army was ready, you asked for an attack on the World Tree before the meteor was brought?"
Victor felt deflated about Meteorite: "Meteorite is a very troublesome person! He caused great damage to the Abyss Temple, and several Abyss Apostles died directly or indirectly as a result of him. He always does the incredible and turns the tables in the face of adversity.
Believe me, we must not wait for the meteorite to enter the Western Realm, otherwise there will be consequences that we can't imagine."
Calamity looked at Victor for a moment, then said, "Since I have chosen to let you command this war, I will not interfere with your decision-making. Since you want the mystic art to continue, let the fallen angel capture Count Ould."
The fallen angel Garland said unruly, "Whoever you tell me to take, I will arrest whomever I want. Do you really think of the fallen angels as your subordinates?"
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
I can only wish you good luck. Let's fight this war first, I can lose countless times, but you can only lose once."
After saying that, the calamity burned in the sunlight, and soon burned into a section of charred charcoal.
Victor was extremely excited.
There is no need to confirm those speculations, and the calamity himself admits that it is divine authority. Although it is not yet known how to obtain divine power, this war may be an opportunity. One might even venture to guess that the calamity has hinted at a way to the path of God.
Win this war and destroy the World Tree!
I only have one chance, and I only need one chance.
In the empty courtyard of the house, Victor tried his best to calm his excited heart. He considered all his arrangements and analyzed his odds.
Wait a little longer, the meteorite is still in the crescent oasis, where someone is staring.
I'm going to increase my strength as much as I can before the meteorite officially enters the Western Realm. Craft more sand figurines, lay out bigger mysteries, and gather more armies of the nobles of the West.
When the general attack was launched, the meteorite was not given any time to operate, allowing the army attacking the Moonlight Royal Court to rush into the ancestral grassland like a tide.
There are no supplies, there is no need for supplies, there is only one direction for all armies...... World Tree!
Burn it! Destroy it!
