Chapter 430: The Soldiers Are Coming

Fen's method of disarming the magic circle was crude, but it was also effective.

The God Slayer Array uses the power of resentful spirits to consume the souls trapped in it. But the power of resentful spirits is limited, and it must be replenished at all times, and even for souls of different strengths and weaknesses, it is necessary to ensure that the power above a certain limit is in it, otherwise the slaughter of the gods will not succeed, but they will break free, and it will not happen to kill the Quartet.

Then to disarm this magic array, just suck up its origin.

Playing with souls, including resentful spirits and evil spirits, is a good trick for high-level undead such as lichs. As one of the best of them, Fen is certainly familiar with these tricks. And that emerald green ball was the only magic material she could see during her journey and had a miraculous effect on her soul. So she made the decision to buy it, and someone paid for it...... Now it just comes in handy.

The deeper the obsession, the easier it is for them to manipulate the masters of necromancy. Coupled with the emerald green stone ball in his hand, it is a superior thing to store souls. Therefore, in the sound of incantations, the source of the power of the God Slayer Magic Array, all the resentful spirits and resentment forces that were imprisoned in the magic array and were so dense that they formed a strange mist, were all absorbed by the stone balls like a bottomless pit.

And it's not just the mist floating in the air that forms a vortex that is absorbed by the stone balls. The blood flowing in the dents in the ground also continued to evaporate into the air with scarlet mist, and at the same time floated towards the stone ball, mixed into the whirlpool, and absorbed together until the liquid on the ground returned to a clear and transparent appearance.

At this point, the demonic atmosphere in the room was empty, and there was no more that weird and terrifying atmosphere. It can be said that the accumulation of the Shenmu Guards for a long time was all swept away by the Fen attack. took out the spell seal that had been prepared a long time ago, and wrapped the original emerald green in his hand, but now it was like a stone ball dyed with a strange dark red, and finally tied a bow on it.

Ever since I met someone, this kind of bad taste has almost become my daily routine, and I never get tired of it. Fen threw the decorated ball of resentment into someone's arms, not caring that someone was caught off guard and almost smashed something to the ground, she lifted the hem of her robe and walked into the pool of blood that had cleared.

The World Tree Avatar had long since lowered its floating height as the mist subsided, and finally fell into the pool. The kitten's expression was no longer painful, but it still closed its eyes and floated motionless on the water. Fen gently held up the three-flower kitten, and then he opened his eyes slightly with difficulty, and called out in that sweet milk voice: "Meow~." Then he closed it again and fell into a deep sleep.

Leaving the pool of raw blood with only a pool of clear water left, Fen handed over the three-flower kitten in his hand to the young king of the elves. Hitan III cautiously took over the Spirit of the World Tree, and his frowning brow had not been loosened for a moment since the beginning of the war. He asked worriedly, "Your Majesty Lahti, is he alright?" ”

"Well, I honestly don't know. I haven't seen the souls saved from the God Slayer Magic Array, and I can't say what kind of changes will happen after that. However, according to the common theory, since the soul has not been destroyed, it is necessary to rest for a while and be fine; Either the situation will get worse and worse, and eventually die. Probably not beyond these two scenarios. ”

I said, eldest sister, what's the difference between what you talk about and what you don't? Someone was tempted to complain, but in the end he put up with it.

In short, the matter is over, it should be gratifying, and I can breathe a sigh of relief and sleep well. At this time, there was a commotion outside, which attracted the attention of the five people in the room.

Because Fen's spell did not require the entire room to be sealed, but only to ask unrelated people to leave the magic circle, the elven guards did not lock their king and the lich in a secret room for safety. As a result, the situation outside the house is easily noticed by the people inside.

And because of the lich's previous warning about the magic array, even if it was an urgent matter, the guards guarding outside did not dare to let people enter easily, which led to this commotion. Even though it looks like it's over, who's to say that?

However, if the people outside don't know what's going on inside the room, the people inside won't know. So Ridan III, who was holding the kitten, took his war minister and one of his guards and went out of the room, and said in Elven language: 'Don't hinder it. The matter has been settled, and there is no more danger here. ’

After receiving the edict, the elven guards who caused the commotion were quickly released. He came to the young king and said with a flustered expression: 'Your Majesty, urgent military situation. ’

Just hearing those four words, everyone has a bad feeling. War Minister Maxim Starchet was one of the few who could still maintain his composure, and since the military situation was already under his jurisdiction, he directly asked: 'What is the urgent military situation, report it directly.' ’

'Yes, sir. Lord Luca Titov, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, has informed him that the Centaur Rogue has invaded the Kingdom again, and is quite close to the territory of the World Tree. ’

A word stirred up turbulent waves. When Ridan III heard this, he almost made a mistake and let the kitten in his arms fall to the ground. Fortunately, Lahti was asleep, and did not notice the measures of such a small place, so he shook a few whiskers and went back to sleep.

Maxim Stachet, who was next to him, asked: 'What is the situation?' How did you know now? Make it clear. ’

'Yes, sir. While we were suppressing the Tree Village, we accidentally discovered that the communication magic circle had been shut down. When we turned it back on, it was a barrage of emergency calls. We immediately called in the communications officers who accompanied the army, and after confirming the call signs of many parties, the prime minister of the kingdom finally came forward to state the situation. Nine days ago, the Silverbridge outpost discovered the whereabouts of a large number of centaur rogues; After the first report, the Silverbridge outpost was silent. ——’

The word 'silence', in the context of the elves' military intelligence, means to be destroyed, or to lose contact. Of course, sometimes it's just an emergency, so the communication magic array was actively destroyed, and the garrison personnel were fine. But now that contact has been lost, the details cannot be determined for a moment.

β€”and Lord Titov said that his duty to remain prime minister could not mobilize the army. Therefore, for the armies everywhere, Lord Titov can only convey that they are stuck to the standby. Since then, he has been trying to contact the World Tree in the hope of getting in touch with His Majesty and Lord Starce, and get orders for war mobilization. However, it wasn't until just now, after the communication magic array was reopened, that we got this information. ’

'What about the movements of the gangsters?' Maxim Starchet asked.

Eight days ago, news had been received that they were attacking the farmstead in Silverbridge. But after only one day of encirclement, they abandoned the encirclement and drove straight in. According to the report, the last information that the centaur rogue was seen was from the silent mountain post last night. ’

'Damn! They've come so close. ’

At this time, Lin leaned over to the young king's side and asked in a low voice, "Is that mountain outpost close to us?" ”

Ridan III nodded and said, "That's an outpost about two days away to the north of the World Tree Territory. If it had been the speed of a centaur and had gone straight here, I had found it last night, and I would have seen this group of robbers as soon as tomorrow morning. ”

"So fast!" Lin exclaimed in surprise and asked again, "Just looking at your appearance, it seems that you are very sure that the other party will run this way." Why is that? Ordinary people wouldn't pick the World Tree as a target. "Then it's the same as the nobles who have nothing to do to rush to the magic tower of the master, and they will do it for too long.

"There are rumors that the Centaur Tribal Alliance is a thug of some dark elf tribe underground. Whether this rumor is true or not, it is certain that they also have the means to suppress the World Tree. So from a hundred years ago, this sudden centaur bandit was the kingdom's henchman, and the conflict has continued to this day. Moreover, regardless of their background, the various materials of the World Tree can be sold for a good price anywhere, so they have always targeted His Majesty Lahti. ”

"Not food?" Lin intuitively thought that the first thing that this nomad-like race should grab should be satisfying food.

But Ridan III shook his head very seriously and said, "If you want to grab food, the surrounding human kingdoms are better than the farms that we have guarded by the Great Druid." ”

That's a ...... Arguments that are so correct that you don't know how to reply.

But looking at the young king in sorrow, with a little angry expression, reminded someone that his father, the previous king, had died at the hands of this centaur coalition.

Although the details are still unclear, with so many strategy games played and countless war movies, Lin can still guess the idea of the centaur coalition.

It is nothing more than that the king and the minister of war were unfortunate to be blocked by the elves of the Shenmu Guard, which caused the command system to be paralyzed. The response of various localities to the enemy situation was too late, and the centaurs, who noticed the difference in the dispatch of troops, abandoned the plan to fight step by step, but killed directly to the destination in one go. I have to say that the timing of the generals led by the other side is just right, or is it ......

'Is it the Shenmu Guards colluding with those bandits?' The young king asked.

As if sensing a hint of anger in his tone, the surrounding elves hulala fell to their knees. The guard, who had come to convey the military information, said even more apprehensively: 'Your Majesty, judging from the expressions of the guards who led us to the communication room, they were also stunned, and no one knew about it. I believe that none of the members of the Guard betrayed the kingdom, it was just a coincidence. ’

He wanted to reprimand him, but the young king restrained his emotions and looked at the highest-ranking and experienced minister beside him. Maxime Starchet, of course, knew what the king's gaze meant. After thinking for a moment, he said: 'Master Pushkin knows the magic that affects the mind, and no one can lie in front of him. I believe that if he interrogates him, he will be able to make a fair decision. ’

'Okay, let's appoint Pushkin. However, he may have to move quickly, and we need all the men who can come in handy against the bandits. In addition, all the resurrection potions were opened from the storeroom, and all the healing potions were taken out, so that everyone's injuries could recover as quickly as possible. ’

'Yes. Your subjects will praise you for your mercy. Your Majesty, then I will go down to convey your orders, as well as to prepare for war. ’

The young king's day-to-day behavior left someone stunned. I've always thought that this was just a big boy next door, and I didn't expect to see such a scene today. The majesty that a king should have, as well as the extremely rare traits of being a king, self-restraint, all impressed Lin.

It reminded him of the fact that the 'young' king was a 'ninety' old boy anyway.
