Chapter 1703: Shield City Reaction
Looking at Ezio with a puzzled face, Lin asked, "You are also a person who has fought in battle." What kind of enemy do you think is the most troublesome? ”
When it comes to getting down to business, Ezio doesn't like gags. So when a certain magician asked, he thought very seriously. Then he ruled out the options of a powerful warrior, a wise magician, etc., and replied, "Fight an enemy who is determined to die." ”
"That's right!" With a snap of his fingers, Lin said, "The enemy with a central will is difficult to deal with. The most difficult thing is not the so-called enemy who is not afraid of death, but the enemy who does not even care about death. That is, the kind in your mouth, with the will to die. ”
"So, what does this have to do with where we are now?" Ezio was puzzled.
"I have no doubt that there is one kind of demon who wants to tear down the Twin Towers of the Gate. But most of the demons are the kind of creatures that have no profit and can't afford to be early, and most of them are indifferent to things that have no profit. In such a situation, it cannot be said that there are no demons who have consciousness to stand up and attack the magic tower, but they are definitely very few. ”
Ezio continued, "But as long as you take the initiative to stand up, it is the kind of rare that is strong-willed. That's what you're trying to say. ”
"Yes." Seeing that several older girls were busy with their work, and they were also attracted by the content of their words, Lin was even more proud. He continued: "Suppose someone today takes the initiative to contact those demons who are less determined, and connect them in sufficient numbers. When the other demons saw that so many demons had joined, it would naturally make them feel that they had a safe chance of winning, so these demons who had no idea and just wanted to fish in troubled waters when they saw the opportunity followed. What do you think will happen like this? ”
"Although the quantity has increased, the quality has decreased. And those demons who are not strong-willed will become the weakness of the group. As long as you accurately find these weaknesses and strike at them, and eat away at the demon group, sooner or later, it will trigger a turning point in morale, and make those who were originally determined become unconfident. Is that what you had in mind? ”
Lin said proudly, "Hehe." The way of the husband and the soldier, attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom, the heart is the top, and the soldier is the bottom. The battle I'm going to fight next is not so much about how many demons I'm going to destroy, but how I'm going to fight their confidence in challenging the magic tower. Unless there is an idea of destroying everything, killing people is never the point, but punishing the heart. ”
The war, which was not very promising, seemed to reveal a glimmer of hope. Ezio, of course, had imagined the consequences of the Twin Towers of the Gate falling into the hands of demons. That's why he didn't resist the recruitment of a certain magician and entered the abyss to venture into the abyss to collect information. In order to avoid the worst-case scenario.
With the Ninth Power pressing heavily on his head, Ezio believed that even if the twin towers of the Gate on the side of the Abyss were lost, it would be impossible for those beings above to allow humans to close the Gate of the Abyss.
Then what we will face next will be a war with no end in sight. The Lost Land and the Abyss will be reduced to a battlefield of flesh and blood grinding in Shura.
If the Abyssal Gate and the Twin Towers of the Gate must exist, then the current situation is ideal.
Ezio didn't really want to support some unscrupulous magician, though. But with that magician's unmotivated attitude, he would probably be the one who would be the least likely to cause big trouble among all the tower guards.
Stay in the position of the tower master of the Twin Towers of the Gate, but if you have the slightest ambition, you may cause a big incident between humans and demons. This will be undesirable to the vast majority of people, except for a few with vested interests.
And the status quo of the shield city and the Yi market is to maintain the fragile peace through trade. Perhaps the hidden danger has not been eliminated, but there is no war, and no side is subordinate to the other at the cost of losing dignity and being a slave.
With Ezio's wisdom, he couldn't think of a better situation than the one he was. If either side overpowers the other, there will be resistance under oppression, which is more dangerous than the fragile peace before us. So Ezio still supports the tower master.
However, a certain magician wants to sit firmly in the position of the tower master, and there is still one level to pass. Ezio asked, "Although you and Azad used their forces at the same time, the quality of the enemy was reduced, and the weakness was increased. But it is undeniable that the number of enemies has also risen. Do you have a winning strategy in such a situation? ”
"Victory? What the hell? There is no such thing as a guaranteed loss or a guaranteed victory. All we can do is do our best to increase our strengths and reduce our weaknesses. In the end, when the two armies clashed, they would fight with their lives, and leave the rest to luck. Lin said confidently: "But don't forget, this is a magic tower, the most proud war fortress in the Lost Land, which has always fought more with less. ”
Lin didn't say anything about his arrangement of the Magic Array City. It's not that I'm worried about leaking secrets from Ezio's side, it's just that it's too cumbersome to explain.
If Lin needed help in the next operation, he would certainly explain it to Ezio, even if it was troublesome.
But in the follow-up battle, the part that Lin needed to help, even if Ezio was not injured, that kind of high-level battle would not be able to intervene. In low-level battles, the magic tower is solved, and no one needs to make a move.
So Lin made up his mind and drove this kid directly to the shield city on the side of the ground to recuperate. For the sake of the other party helping him bring back important information, he has said enough things today and wasted too much time.
Ezio, who was driven to the rear to recuperate, was quite indignant. He still has a lot of questions to confirm, and a lot of things to explain.
However, he also understands that when the magician shows the attitude of sending off guests, no matter how much he pesters him, he will not get an answer. This awesome person flashed away, and no one could stop him.
Therefore, with the support of several sisters, Ezio can only pass through the Abyss Gate and enter the Brotherhood's residence to rest and recuperate.
It's not that the twin towers of the gate on the side of the ground don't take him in, as long as he doesn't disturb Fen, this tower master doesn't care. However, Ezio still chooses to be with his companions, in addition to recuperating from his injuries, he also has to coordinate the cooperation of the members of the Brotherhood to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Yes, Lin did not ask to conceal the information that the storm was coming from the abyss. After all, there are also a lot of humans in Yi City, and the work of dealing with demons is not monopolized by the people of the Brotherhood, so they can't block the news that those big-mouthed demons deliberately circulate.
Today, the matter of the Ninth Power is no longer confined to the upper echelons of the human race, and has long been known by more people. There is also something that is not clear, only to prove that he himself is indifferent to these things, and it is not that no one told him.
Since the Ninth Power is in the interests of so many bigwigs, no one continues to insist on the demand to close the door of the abyss. Those bigwigs are clear carriages and horses, and whoever wants to close the door of the abyss is their enemy. Directly in the mortal, dimensionality reduction strike is not impossible.
In short, the challenges that the abyss side will face have caused quite a commotion on the shield city side. However, according to Ezio's observations, it is not so much a fear that the war will spread to the Lost Ground as it is a fear that business transactions will be interrupted as a result.
One of the main reasons for the confidence is that Apollus, the Lord of Guardians, has finally reappeared in the Lost Land!
At the celebration of the first anniversary of the establishment of the Shield City, this mysterious supreme god appeared very suddenly, and the celebration ushered in a wave of ecstasy.
Apollos even left a holy seal on the hall of the city council of the shield of the Lost Land, making this shield more worthy of its name as a guardian. This is also an important reason why the ruling system of Shield City can be stabilized so quickly, and no one dares to make trouble under the nose of such a big man.
The seal of the deity is different from the emblem of the deity. The Holy Emblem is like a doppelganger of the gods, and whatever the gods can do, the Holy Emblem can probably do. As long as the power stored in the emblem is sufficient, or the gods pay special attention.
However, the Holy Seal is more functional and does not have the same wide range of uses as the Holy Emblem. The latter includes contacting the gods, praying to the gods, and so on; But I didn't reply to another story. The former is directly to store a specific divine art, which will be triggered when a certain condition is met.
In the Shield City Council, the function of this Guardian Lord Seal of the Lost Shield is very simple, and it will boom when you see a demon! At the same time, inform him of the old man's home, and come down directly to the face to greet him!
Do you really think that in the case of the abyss invasion, this big guy has no temper? It was His door blocked by His own people, and he couldn't get out.
Now that the Ninth Power is stable, the demons can no longer enter the Maze Land, whether they come through the formal channel, that is, the ,——Abyss Gate, or smuggle in from other places, once discovered, the guardian can only grant death, and there is no second way to choose.
Some people may want to say that the Lord of Guardians is really so jealous and hateful, why did the past abyss invasion wars last for tens or hundreds of years.
This can only be attributed to the fact that the Lord of Guardians is too 'young', only seven or eight hundred years old.
The Abyss Invasion War in history is not the one more than a year ago, and the closest thing is nearly two thousand years ago. It was the time of the Old Gods.
The Old Gods didn't care if the living were alive or dead. Some of the old gods demanded sacrifices from the living at every turn, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were demons who had risen up in the Lost Land.
In any case, the majesty of the Lord of Guardianship is once again shrouded in the land, and everyone has no need to worry about safety. So for the news of the war on the other side of the abyss, everyone is in the mood to watch the play.
Only a few people with a sense of distress proposed to help the tower owner and win the war.
However, this opinion, which is obviously not agreed with by the majority, has naturally been suppressed. Even these people went to visit the tower master on the abyss side of the Twin Towers of the Gate, but they were also politely refused.
This time, Lin made a rare move to a group of strangers about his concerns. If they join the abyssal side and fight against the demons, it is very likely that this abyssal civil war will be elevated to the level of a maze and an abyssal war, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
So the best way is for the human side to prepare for the shield city on the side of the maze. If this side of the abyss wins, then everything is safe; If they lose, it's up to them to resist the demon's re-invasion of the land.
With a few words, these young and vigorous magicians were coaxed as if they were the saviors of mankind, and they were fluttering and returned to the maze to prepare.
At the same time, it also improved the bad evaluation of a tower owner. For a person who always says good things and has the courage to take responsibility, it's not as bad as it is rumored. Although the monks who left did not have cigarettes, alcohol and other gifts in their hands, at least they were happily coaxed away.
Of course, Lin didn't care about this unexpected joy. Because the trumpet of war, which belongs to the war, has quietly sounded.
