Leon turned around and gave Kavalabi a thumbs up.

Kavala is probably not good at employing people, but he is not stupid, and his ability to use troops is unquestionable - the army of the Snake Cult that went north turned out to be all bait!

From the very beginning, it was not the Snake Cult troops that were really used to attack the Emperor's Harbor!

Li Ang really didn't expect that Kavala would be willing to give up the Snake Worship Sect to infiltrate almost all of the strength of the Pande Continent with great difficulty.

It turned out that Malbert's role was only to stall for time and further reduce the number of troops in the Imperial Harbor......

No wonder Kavala didn't let Malbert's plan succeed, because he didn't want Leon to leave the Imperial Harbor!

The Snake Cult army led away most of the troops of the two countries, and Alina's guards were also taken away by Brutus, and now in addition to the more than 100 militiamen who are responsible for maintaining vigilance and law and order, only Leon's guards, that is, the Silver Hand, are left in the Imperial Harbor.

The total strength was only more than 400 people, of which less than 300 were silver hands, and there were more than 100 militiamen on the city walls...... And now Alina is trapped in the Governor's Palace, unable to give orders to the outside world, and the residents of the Imperial Harbor are unable to mobilize.

The nearest reinforcement was in the village of Buyulin, where more than 1,000 wounded remained in Buyulin for treatment, and the Knights of the Radiant Cross also had more than 100 people there - there were so many wounded in the Battle of Buyulin that it was difficult for them to move after being wounded, so they stayed where they were treated by the Knights of the Radiant Cross.

But the village of Buyulin was more than sixty miles away from the port of Dilin, and by the time they got the news, it was probably a day had passed.

Maritin's fleet was about to land, and the Vipers were blocked outside the Governor's Palace, and he was wounded and unable to escape......

It seems to be a desperate situation.

But I have experienced more desperate situations......

Until the last minute, Leon will not give up hope.

After experiencing so many things, Li Ang can already remain calm when he encounters anything.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to talk to me about?"

Anyway, he didn't have much combat power now, so Li Ang simply sat down.

Wendy was about to walk over to Leon, but Leon waved his hand and didn't let Wendy come closer.

"It's amazing how calm you can be."

Kavala complimented, and then looked down at Leon condescendingly, "You should know what I want to talk to you about...... You can't escape now, Leon, do you want to live? ”

"Alive?"

Leon sneered: "Like Malbert, is it still alive?" ”

Kavala drove himself into a corner, naturally in order to force himself to sign a soul contract, just as he did when he took advantage of the danger to force Maltis and Malbert.

After being controlled all his life, this former king now always seems to want to control everyone......

"As long as I don't agree, you can't do anything about me, right? At most, let the fleet outside land and kill me...... But even then, what do you get? The Serpent Cult's army is your own, right? But you've used them all as bait and given up...... As long as you can't control me, you still won't get anything......"

Leon kept looking into Kavala's eyes and said a lot with a smile.

To be precise, he was looking at Malbert's expression.

Malbert was manipulated by Kavala, his eyes looking at Leon, but the expression he showed was very strange.

It feels like I'm looking at something and thinking about something else, i.e. having focus, but not taking it to heart......

"Hahaha...... Leon, as you said, if I can't control you, I won't get anything. But you're not alone here, and you may not be afraid of death, but what about the ladies around you? What about your loyal men? Are you willing to send them all to your death? ”

Kavala, or rather Malbert, said with a blank face.

Wendy frowned together with Alina, but didn't speak.

And Leon was stunned for a moment.

But Leon was stunned, not because Kavala was threatening himself with Wendy and Alina, but because of Malbert's expression.

Kavala was laughing, and his tone was a little smug - but Malbert's expression was like that of a puppeteer, and his tone and expression did not match at all, very different from when Malbert himself spoke.

It seems that this is not completely controlled......

Being manipulated is very different from being completely occupied, and the person being manipulated actually knows what she has done in the process of being controlled - just like Maltisse, who has been manipulated for all the years, she has always known what she is doing, but she can't control herself.

In other words, when Kavala manipulated Malbert, Malbert actually had his own consciousness, but he couldn't show it.

Malbert's possession of Ahlers' body is a kind of consciousness occupation, although he can only gain control after Ahlers loses consciousness, but at least everything in this body, including the thinking of the brain, is completely controlled by Malbert, and all behaviors are no different from normal people.

However, Kavala can only control Malbert's actions, and he cannot 'occupy' them, because directly occupying the bodies of the aborigines will violate the rules and will be banished to the void.

In other words, Kavala's remote control of Malbert is probably similar to Leon's control of a character's actions when playing a game - he can act, he can speak, he can use the character's own skills, and he can observe things through the character's five senses, but he can't control the character's own thoughts.

Just to manipulate its movements, of course, there is no need to control micro-expressions, so Malbert looks like a sculpture.

The current state is probably similar to Leon's previous conversation with the statue of Kavala in the Lion City, but the character controlled by Kavala at that time was the statue.

He can only control the actions of those who have signed the soul contract, and only one at a time, because his divine consciousness is invested in the manipulated person......

Probably have to enter the space of the human soul to manipulate it?

Well, the so-called soul contract......

Isn't this the relationship between the player and the character?

Players can control a character or create multiple characters, but can only choose one of them at a time.

But if it's a character who hasn't signed a soul contract and still wants to forcibly control it, it is equivalent to forcibly controlling other NPCs in violation of the law, which is definitely cheating.

What are the consequences of cheating?

Deleted by GM......

Aren't those gods banished to the void equivalent to being deleted by the GM of the creator god?

Use Aleth to hide Malbert, and Viper spies to hide the other controlled Serpent Worshippers, presumably to have better concealment and not be discovered.

But these people all have two souls now, Malbert and Kavala have signed a soul contract, but Alers has not!

Moreover, Malbert's thinking is independent......

Kavala, Kavala, this character you control is risky......

Trying to control everyone, that's what you want, right?

But this desire is also risky......

Thinking of this, Leon smiled.

"Kavala, you really took my soft spot, and I really can't bear to let Wendy and Alina die here......"

Leon asked Kavala with a humble smile: "Okay, I admit it, how do you sign your soul contract?" I'll sign it now. ”

"Hahaha...... You just have to close your eyes, let your whole body relax, and then you will see me in your dreams......"

Kavala burst out laughing.

It seems that the oath made in the dream is a soul contract.

That's right, many gods fool people by dreaming.

Moreover, when he was in the temple, Kavala also relaxed his whole body - presumably to release his defensive consciousness so that his divine consciousness could be projected into his soul space?

Now, Li Ang had a plan in mind......

"In a dream...... Do you mean that you will come to my soul space? I need to swear allegiance to you in person in the soul space, right? ”

Leon intended to ask a clear and thorough question, using very humble words and a very soft attitude.

"That's right...... Leon, close your eyes, you know what to do......"

Kavala probably felt that victory was in his hands, and replied quite mildly.

Leon now made sure of his thoughts.

He closed his eyes.

"Leon!"

Wendy screamed in horror.

"Wendy, that's all I can do...... Don't worry, step back. ”

Leon turned his head and whispered comfort, waved Wendy away from him, then winked at Alina twice, turned his head and closed his eyes again.

As if she understood something, Alina pulled Wendy into the corner and stared into Ahler's eyes.

Leon was intently trying to sleep.

Seriously, it is not easy to relax and relax into a light sleep state at this time.

It was daytime, and there was fighting outside, and Leon was certainly worried about the casualties of the brethren; Coupled with the fact that there was a fleet approaching on the sea, Leon had actually been nervous all the time, but he didn't show it.

In addition, he had an armpit injury, which was the most painful when the wound was under treatment......

But Leon still entered a state of calm within a few minutes, and then saw his soul space again.

It's still a gray chaotic space, with some purple light oozing through it.

But this time, the purple glow became stronger, filling the entire space with a faint halo.

Kavala's image in the soul space is still a golden phantom, and it still looks full of oppression.

Moreover, Kavala did not come alone - he brought with him the soul of Malbert.

Malbert's spirit looked a lot like what Anna once was, a pure black figure.

"Your Majesty, I actually know that you still intend to kill me...... I guess you're going to throw me into the abyss, just like you did when you asked Anna to deal with me, right? ”

Leon was now familiar with the way spirits communicated, and could communicate with his consciousness without moving his mouth......

In fact, he knew that Kavala would not sign any soul contract with him - Kavalra was not at ease with soul contracts, and Maltis was a lesson from the past.

When he was in Lion City before, Kavala had made it clear that he would throw Leon into the abyss.

"That's right, hahaha...... Leon, I thought I could only see you die here. But now, you'll have to go to the abyss anyway. Of course, it's possible for you to cross the abyss again and make it to the temple - but that's even better......"

Kavala replied calmly.

"yes, if I go to the temple again, you'll have another chance to escape there......"

Leon also said calmly: "But Malbert is not Anna, can his soul spell really send me to the abyss?" ”

"Just try it...... However, you are so bold that you don't mean to be scared at all? ”

Kavala was probably not particularly sure of Malbert's abilities, and he was a little unsure of Leon's meaning now, because Leon in the soul space did not feel weak at all—spirits could not lie.

"Ha, why should I be afraid, am I Malbert?"

Leon smiled and said, "Kavala, this is my soul space, no matter how strong your soul contract is, it is impossible to control Malbert in my soul." You want to use Malbert against me...... But have you forgotten? Anna had promised you to deal with me in a spirit state, which meant that Anna had actually made a pact with you—but what did she choose in the end? You still don't accept the lesson......"

As soon as he finished speaking, or had just finished thinking about it, Leon heard a piercing howl.

It was Malbert casting a spell.

He didn't cast spells on Leon, nor did he deal with Kavala—he couldn't cast spells on Kavala, who was his contract host.

But he was actually casting spells.

"Haha...... Malbert's soul belongs to you...... So, what happens if Malbert casts a spell on his own soul? ”

Li Ang's current state can't lie, so naturally he can't hide anything.

But at this point, it doesn't matter if you hide it or not.

"Marbbo...... Well? ”

Kavala seemed to want to say something, but his voice stopped abruptly.

This is the soul space, this is the spirit communication, this kind of half-said suddenly silent, only means one thing - Kavala has lost consciousness!

Kavala probably didn't have time to figure it out, and it's probably hard to figure it out again.

Because Leon had already seen a flower in front of him, he returned to the study.

Leon was already out of his soul space.

He was forcibly woken up by Alina.

Alina did understand Leon's hint, though Leon only blinked.

Because, after Leon closed his eyes and fell asleep, Malbert's eyes changed-when Malbert and Kavala both arrived in Leon's soul space, Ahlers's expression returned to the state of being hypnotized and stupid.

Alina knows how to wake up spies - this kind of self-hypnosis has a 'key' to wake up, and this 'key' is actually just a word or a certain part of the body, and when you hear this word or are poked in this part, you will wake up immediately.

At the moment when she saw Alyss return to hypnosis, Alina woke up Alyss and Leon together in time.

Of course, waking up Leon is very simple, just a pinch, and Leon is just sleeping.

However, waking up Leon and Alers at this time is equivalent to closing the two soul spaces - the soul spaces of Leon and Alers are closed.

This was to seal Kavala and Malbert's consciousness together - they would be left in Leon's soul space, and Malbert would probably not be able to return to Ahler's body.

Kavala's performance has made Leon understand that as long as he is a complete life and has a sense of defense, then the soul space cannot be invaded, and neither can the gods.

Maltis also said to Leon that life is worthy of fear, and that people with a complete life cannot be controlled, no matter how strong a god is, he can only sign a contract with people by deception.

Spirits can control others through soul contracts, and this is because soul contracts sell people's souls to gods – that is, this life is already incomplete.

But Leon is now a complete life, and since even the gods can't forcibly invade, then the two who have entered his soul space can't of course break away.
