Chapter 282: Long time no see, Estes
"Lord Nahasiu, I received news earlier, Estes has taken command, she will attack us first, should we shrink the front line? Those barbarian cannon fodder in the north are probably not the enemies of Estes. ”
In the headquarters of the Northern Army, the "King of Horses" Muruk, Nahaxiu, and Aurelian, the leader of the Anning Taoist Sect, were discussing the military, and Kelly, who was in charge of intelligence gathering, came in to make a report.
"Shrink the front, Nahasio, you also understand the strength of Estes, that Numa Sekka can't fight Estes at all, and the combat effectiveness of their barbarian troops can't compete with the elite forces of the Empire."
Red Hitomi, Black Hitomi, Boni, and Tsukushi are a few people who have seen the strength of Estes and the combat effectiveness of Estes's army, so they naturally understand the gap between the two sides, and as far as the garbage army of the northern barbarians is concerned, I am afraid that they will not even be able to delay the time, and they will only be defeated with one blow.
"That's right, we really don't need to make senseless sacrifices, order down, shrink the army on the front line all the way, and the place of the decisive battle is up to us."
Nahaxiu naturally knew what to do, because Ling Ze had already informed him in advance and told him the location of the final battle, and his task was to lure Estes into that place, whether it was an army or an individual.
Nahaxiu wasn't too worried about this mission now, because Ling Ze told him that Estes's conceited personality determined that her style of acting was unscrupulous, and even in military activities, that conceited woman would not take others seriously.
And as long as they take advantage of Estes's conceit, they can easily lure each other into the trap they have prepared.
In other words, they are actually playing cards, that is, telling Estes that this is a trap they have prepared in advance, and to make a clear move to invite you into the urn, it depends on whether Estes dares to come, whether he dares to step into this trap.
"With Estes' conceit, she will come 100 percent, and if she dares to come, then I will take her down here."
In the center of the selected decisive battle site, Ling Ze put down the pen in his hand, he had been preparing here for a long time.
In fact, the alchemist profession, like the magic professions such as the Arcanist and Caster, has a very strong ability to build positions, as long as they are given enough resources, they can make powerful magical fortifications.
And Ling Ze has been depicting all kinds of refining formations here during this time, he didn't have many refining formations in the past, and the last time he fought with that "Holy Spirit", the refining formations he portrayed didn't even play a role, it was very chicken.
But after opening the "Truth" once, the knowledge that Ling Ze now withheld from the "Truth" will truly allow the refining array to play its due role.
"If I directly activate the human body to refine into an array, I wonder if I can instantly refine Estes into a philosopher's stone?"
Ling Ze began to think about this question, after opening the "Truth" state last time, Ling Ze also tried the "Holy Spirit", and it turned out that the "Holy Spirit" was indeed not a human, the Philosopher's Stone was refined from the soul of a human being, and the soul of a non-human creature could not be used as a raw material.
"Anyway, Estes must be a person, right? Even if her body was severely affected by the Emperor's [Demon God Manifestation: Demon Essence] and was no longer an ordinary human body, her soul should be fine, right? ”
In fact, Ling Ze was not sure about this, after all, the emperor had a domineering power, and he could really affect the soul, so he didn't put all his expectations on this move, and at that time, there was a high probability that he would "understand" Estes first like he did when he fought with the "Holy Spirit" last time, and then easily defeat her.
Ling Ze here depicts "bombardment refining into formation", "purgatory refining into formation", "rotten poison refining into formation", "thunderstorm refining into formation" and other large-scale group attack refining formations, to ensure that Estes will not be able to eat and walk around, if Estes does not come alone, then he can also defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
"The rest of the time is to wait for Estes to come, as long as our northern army retreats all the way without resistance, they should be able to chase them here soon."
Ling Ze sat in the center of all the refining arrays, quietly closing his eyes and recuperating, it still felt very bad to be ravaged by the "truth", he had to prepare in advance.
"Lord Estes, after seeing us coming, those rebels from the north fled when they heard the news, and gave up all the cities they had captured before, they were so seedless that they didn't even dare to fight us head-on."
As the vanguard officer of Estes, the imperial envoy Daidas, after rushing to the front line all the way to the front, saw the mess left behind after the retreat of the Northern Army, he immediately felt very disappointed, this guy is a battle maniac, he thought that he had to fight at least to achieve victory, but he didn't expect the enemy to run away without a fight.
So he sent troops to regain the surrounding cities, and continued to send scouts to listen to the news, while waiting for Estes's arrival, and after Estes arrived at the place where he was stationed with the follow-up army, he immediately reported the situation to Estes, showing a conceited posture of contempt for the rebels.
"They can't keep running, can they? Where can you escape? ”
Estes didn't think there was anything wrong with Daidas's conceit, because she was just as conceited, and she didn't think that these rebels from the north could do them any harm, which was her strongest self-confidence as an empire.
"I'll take someone after you, Lord Estes."
Daidas quickly understood Estes's words, obviously for him not to continue the pursuit, but to stay here to eat and drink, Estes was a little dissatisfied, as the "three beasts" under Estes, he still has a relatively good understanding of Estes's temper.
After all, they didn't come to play this time, but they were in a hurry, because they had to go south after pacifying the north, so Estes decided to have a good time when he went south, and he had to fight quickly when he went north.
"Lady Estes, isn't this a bit too presumptuous? The enemy will definitely be prepared to do this, shouldn't we slowly push forward and crush all the way? ”
Obviously, Will and Lan don't really understand Estes's arrangement for Daidas, they still attach great importance to those rebels, and they can quickly sweep the entire north, so they should have some strength.
"We're in a hurry, let Daedas rush them first, and then we'll just go straight to finish the fight."
Estes explained slightly, this is actually one of the combat methods they used to use before, it can be said that it is invincible, although Daidas is the vanguard officer, but with him there are two other "Three Orcs", Niu and Liva's imperial abilities, which are very suitable for playing in large-scale battlefields, and are more suitable than Daïdas's imperial equipment.
"Well, hopefully it works."
Will scratched his head, and they couldn't say anything more, for Daidas had already left with his army in a hurry, heading further north.
"Daidas, are these northern rebels really that weak?"
Niwu, who looked like a girl, kept turning around with his imperial tool in his hand, he was very curious about the situation of the Northern Army, he and Liva had not come first before, so they didn't know the specific situation of the Northern Army.
"I don't know, my people haven't fought with them yet, but just look at their appearance as a lost dog, they must be a rabble without a species, but there are just a little more people, and they may not even be able to withstand a charge."
Although he had not yet fought head-on with the people of the Northern Army, Daedas's conceit was fully revealed, and Niu and Liva had the same attitude, after all, the enemy's army that was crushed by only the three of them was already countless, and they had long been accustomed to opening the Peerless.
"Report! General Daidas, General Niou, General Liva! There was an enemy in the valley not far ahead. ”
The "Three Orcs" were chatting while walking, and suddenly received a report from the scout in front, but the content of the report made them all stunned.
"The valley? Alone? ”
Liva frowned, he was a professional general, completely different from the two half-hangers next to him, after hearing this combination of words, the first thing he thought of was that there was an ambush.
"Yes, there is only one person, and our sentinels have already detected it, and there is no enemy, only that one person is in the valley, which is very strange."
The scout who came to report was also very puzzled, so they didn't enter the valley to investigate, but only probed around the valley that was obviously not normal, and the result made them even more puzzled, there was no enemy hiding nearby.
"Do you want to get around? It feels a little weird. ”
Liva apparently didn't think there was any need to dwell on such a strange thing, but Dajdas didn't think so.
"Why bypass? That guy may also be an emperor, but he wants to solve us alone, so wouldn't we want him to look down on us if we bypassed it? Maybe he'll come back and stop us. ”
Daidas picked up his imperial equipment [Two Great Axes Belwaq], and after handing over the command of the army to Liva, he went straight into the strange valley.
Naturally, Liva and Niu could not let him go alone, and they immediately entered the valley with their armies.
After entering the valley, they were horrified to find that their retreat had disappeared directly.
In fact, this entire valley was built by Ling Ze alone, his creative ability is not amazing, it is completely a walking large fortification, as long as he is given time, it is not strange to build anything.
Although it seems to be very exaggerated, Ling Ze is actually quite simple to do, this is just an improved version of the refining array that Isaac Markodugaru made in Central City, except that instead of using ice as raw materials, it uses things like rocks and mud as raw materials.
"Pretending to be a ghost, this is his emperor's ability, right?"
Although they were taken aback by this strange phenomenon, the "Three Beasts" were not too nervous, after all, this phenomenon can be explained by the Emperor's ability, and they themselves also have a magical Emperor's ability, so naturally they will not think about anything.
"How are you three pieces of shit? Didn't Estes come over? ”
Ling Ze, who was sitting in the center of the valley, turned on the "speaker" and directly communicated with the "Three Beasts" who were still confused, but the power of his speaker was a bit great.
"Be careful!"
In the face of Ling Ze's attack, the "Three Beasts" naturally reacted, but the soldiers around them were suffering, and they were instantly confused by the powerful shock wave, and Ling Ze injured many people under one blow.
However, because of the distance, most of the people were only injured, and there were not many deaths, and the dead were all unlucky non-chiefs, who belonged to the end of their life.
"Ling Ze, it's you, are you planning to be your enemy?"
Led the army to the nearest place and surrounded Ling Ze, after seeing Ling Ze, the "Three Beasts" naturally recognized him, after all, Ling Ze had been with Estes for a while, and the "Three Beasts" naturally knew him.
"It's not that I'm going to be her enemy, it's that she's going against the sky."
Ling Ze shook his head, he had nothing to say to the "Three Beasts", because only one of the "Three Beasts" was a little normal, and the rest of Daidas and Niwu were all rotten people that Ling Ze had wanted to kill for a long time.
If it weren't for being pressed by Estes at the beginning, Ling Ze didn't dare to mess around, this Niwu and Daidas would definitely not be alive now.
"I think you're going against the sky, Ling Ze, I'm going to capture you alive and bring you back to Lord Estes, you are Lord Estes, you have to remember."
Now Liva is no longer the iron-clad man he used to be, no longer the general who led Brand, now he is a dog loyal to Estes, anyone who offends Estes is his enemy, and he has lost himself a little.
However, this place is not a place where Liwa can play, because there is no water source here, and the Emperor's [Water Dragon Pingyi Black Marlining] can only exert its power where there is water, it only has the ability to control water.
So Liwa rushed directly to Ling Ze, his physical ability is actually not weak, although it is not as good as Brand, but at least it is also the best level among the imperial generals, otherwise he would not be able to enter the eyes of Estes, and he was specially accepted as a subordinate and given an imperial tool.
"Woo woo woo~"
At the same time, Niwu has already blown his Imperial Tool [Military Dream Scream], and he is buffing Liva, and his Imperial Tool has even better support abilities.
"Let's get caught!"
Liva grabbed Ling Ze's head with one claw, because Ling Ze was sitting cross-legged on the ground, so he did it easily, but obviously he was thinking too much.
"Alas~"
Ling Ze sighed, and the invisible shock wave directly knocked Liwa back, he actually wanted to try to subdue Liva, but looking at this guy's state, it was obvious that his whole person was already in the shape of Estes.
"You're killing yourselves."
Ling Ze sighed in his mouth, directly clasped his hands together, and activated one of the plural refining formations carved under him.
In fact, he has made two hands insurance for these refining arrays, even if the integrity of the refining array is damaged, he can also use the circle of the valley to launch the refining array, if the circle of the valley is destroyed, he also arranged the circular passage underground can be used as a surgical requirement.
The strange refining lines flickered and glowed, and the refining light stabbed the people of the imperial army in the refining array a little uncomfortable, but their discomfort disappeared completely after only a moment.
Because after a burst of refining light flickered, all the people of these imperial armies fell to the ground weakly, including the three imperial envoys of the "Three Beasts".
Only a few people fell in pain in a pool of blood, and they were scattered in groups on five different points, which became one of the conditions for the successful launch of the refining array, which was precisely positioned and killed by Ling Ze when he launched the refining array.
Looking at the liquid liquid "Sage Stone" gathered in his hand, Ling Ze slapped one hand on the ground and refined a porcelain bottle, and he actually had a refining array on his hand.
After putting the "Sage's Stone" into the porcelain vase, Ling Ze hung the porcelain vase on his waist casually.
These "Philosopher's Stones" can also be used to help him fight with Estes, although after opening the "Truth", he can directly mobilize the power of the world's origin, and does not need the "Philosopher's Stone", but these "Philosopher's Stones" can help him suppress the "Truth".
Ling Ze got up and walked to the side of the "Three Beasts" with angry eyes, and directly confiscated their imperial tools.
Of the three, only Liva is a bit of a pity, he is also a poor man, persecuted by the minister, and then became Estes's dog again, and he feels that he has completely changed as a person.
As for Daidas, he was a combat murderer, and countless people he killed in the name of fighting.
And Niwu, a guy from the high nobility of the empire, really didn't disappoint the nobles, his hobby is dissecting small animals, and collecting female faces, this guy really offended two groups that can't be offended at once, and it can be said that it's not a pity to die.
After trying the three imperial tools, Ling Ze found that none of them he could use, so he directly put these three imperial tools by his side, and then he returned to the center of the refining array and sat down, continuing to wait for Estes.
Estes didn't let Ling Ze wait too long, because she already knew the tragic situation of the vanguard army, and Ling Ze didn't do anything to cover it up, so the situation in the valley was clearly seen by the scouts sent by Estes.
So Estes came to the valley alone, her expression couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in, she first looked at the soldiers all over the valley, and after making sure that those soldiers had died for unknown reasons, Estes looked at Ling Ze.
Ling Ze sat cross-legged on the ground, supporting his chin with one hand, and one hand resting on the ground casually, he tilted his head in the direction of Estes, although he was blindfolded, Estes still felt his gaze.
"Long time no see, Estes."
Ling Ze was the first to speak, he smiled and said hello to Estes, completely harmless to humans and animals.
