Chapter 33: Richie's Reflections
"Study?"
Before everyone could react, they had already seen the flickering fire and billowing smoke outside the hall, and when the group arrived, the entire study had been burned, and when the servants rushed to put out the fire, Bakaji's face was green, and he didn't think this skeleton was so terrifying in his own mansion before, but now it's a little uncontrollable to happen in front of him, just like before, the necromantic creature that burned the study has run away without a trace, according to the servant, it should be heading to the south, thinking that it should be looking for the next target。
But why did this skeleton suddenly appear in the Lord's Mansion, and it was so powerful, but it only wanted to burn a study, this strange behavior and confusing thinking, so that everyone fell into confusion of thinking, wasn't there a sacrifice just now, isn't this a competition between two necromancers? What is it to burn a study?
The confusion and constant attention of the crowd forced everyone to pay attention to the skeleton that suddenly disappeared again, and everyone fully understood that what was happening in front of them was indeed as the sacrifice said, this was a game with two lords' territories as the arena, and the means of the game seemed to be to see who destroyed the more specific targets who was the winner, and the thing was very clear, but this particular goal was the most difficult to guess, because so far, no one had guessed what the standard of this goal was, especially if even a study had to be set on fire, it was even more confusing。
In fact, it is very simple to solve this matter, there are two ways, the first is to find two necromancers who control the necromantic creatures to destroy in the territory, this is the root cause, and it is also the most efficient way, the second is to integrate the left and right forces to guard several fixed warehouses, give up a part, and keep what you want to keep, if it is really a game, then it will naturally take a long time to defend the lot when it is difficult, and no one wants to lose, maybe they will instead focus on those places where there is no or weak defensive strength.
But the problem also arises, whether it is the former or the latter, it takes a strong enough person to be able to control the necromantic creature so perfectly, where have they not been found until now, and even if they are found, can they be guaranteed to be destroyed? No one dares to say this too much, now it is two ordinary level skeletons that are doing evil, if the other party creates a high-level necromantic creature, it is just a joke to want to take it.
"We can only choose some important warehouses to defend now, and we can't defend all of them, anyway, we can keep one by one. Bakagi quickly made a decision, and this decision was also approved by the temple priests, after all, the situation is out of control now, and all that is done now is to hurry up and hope for the dawn, and the two necromancers can stop at the same time.
However, Bakagi always felt that he had overlooked something, but what it was, he always couldn't grasp the point, as if something was wrong, but what was happening in the territory now and the results caused it were enough to make him anxious, and it was impossible to deal with these things in a short period of time.
Richie, who was in his own house, also felt this way, but he thought more than Bakaji, and came up with accurate answers almost quickly, whether it was the necromantic creature who was messing around in himself or in Bakaji's territory, it was definitely not like the temple priest said, it was two necromancers engaged in this kind of boring game, because the content and handwriting on the letter were the same, which proved that they were one person, this was actually the answer that had been thought of by the handwriting at first, and at the beginning, he thought that it was someone who deliberately disturbed the vision, so his idea of focusing his defense on the grain and grass warehouse was still supported by everyone in the first half of the nightBut after Bakagi's study in the house was burned down, his opinion seemed to have become a joke.
This suspicion continued until the two-knife skeleton in the territory was eliminated, but when the skeleton reappeared, Richie knew that what he originally thought was indeed right, but now the people of the temple disagreed with his opinion, and Bakagi's method was implemented, and the result was very obvious, the skeleton with the iron rod did begin to appear obvious selection, and the key guarded places began to selectively bypass, and those warehouses with almost zero defensive strength were mostly cleaned.
This result proves that Bakagi's point of view is correct, but while Richie made the same decision, he also secretly kept an eye on it, and he let his men start to patrol his territory, because in his opinion, taking advantage of the chaos between the two territories, it is very easy for the forces behind this necromancer to do something, and it is necessary for him to observe everything that is happening in front of him from another angle.
It all happened so suddenly that he didn't have enough time to analyze it, and now, at the instigation of the temple priests, he had also carried out Bakaji's method, so that he had enough time to think about the cause and effect of the incident.
But thinking about it this way, he found that there was no antecedent for this matter!
The necromancer controlled by the necromancer suddenly appeared in the warehouse of Bakagi's territory, and as soon as he made a move, he scrapped a warehouse specially for the temple, which was undoubtedly a provocation, and the same situation also appeared in his own territory, the places that were attacked were all related to the temple, that is to say, the relationship between the necromancer and the temple was an enemy, and then he and Bakaji received the message note, this necromancer acted alone, but he also had enough insights into martial arts cultivation, otherwise, these two necromantic creatures would not be so strong, since everything is related to the temple, so it should be a coincidence?
Richie knew that this kind of thing should not be left to chance, and it was very likely that the necromancer was also here to target himself and Bakaji, but what was the purpose of this necromancer? Thinking of this, Richie couldn't help but shake his head and deny this thought, if it was just revenge, then the other party only needed to attack the temple sacrifice, or go directly to the temple legion, you must know that he is dual-minded, and he can be so powerful, it is even easier to control the necromantic legion, but the other party did not do that, which means that the other party just wants to create chaos, and then when everyone is impetuous, he and the forces behind him can finish what they want to do!
The other party is striking the west!
Since he couldn't think of the reason, he worked backwards from the result, after receiving the note, his first reaction was to order the warehouses to be strictly guarded, and he did so, because of the assistance of the Temple Legionnaires, he and Bakagi both felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement, but when the other party really made a move, he realized how outrageous he was wrong, all guarding means dispersing forces, and this should be what the other party wants him and Bakagi to do, and now I find that it is too late, and I can't shrink my strength to pose a threat to what the other party wants to do, but what is the other party going to do?
Richie couldn't figure it out, and so did Bakaji, the two lords learned that their hidden vaults had been destroyed by these two skeletons two and three respectively, and the worst was Bakaji, he didn't keep much of the warehouse, so his loss really didn't have to be small.
Just as Richie wanted to sigh, those subordinates who had been sent to closely watch the abnormal situation in the territory hurriedly ran in.
"My lord, we found a large number of footprints outside, which looked like marching, but they should not be our people. The servant spoke quickly, but Richie understood it, he now knew why the second prince of Kahler suddenly went to the lord's mansion of Bakagi, the second highness said that the question of standing in line was not important, his purpose was to ask about the attack on the warehouse, because of his concern, so Bakagi and himself also focused on defending the warehouse, but completely ignored the question of why Kahler suddenly appeared.
The temple has secretly turned Calle into a target for covert obliteration, if it is not for the close relationship, this kind of appalling thing is not heard of, but the duty of the temple is not only to fight against the imperial power, the reason why the temple can survive for a long time in the three empires, it is inseparable from the contribution of the temple, the temple excludes the infidels, encircles the necromancer, and educates the people, these contributions are real, and if the temple is to continue to maintain, these things must be continued.
Therefore, between getting rid of the necromancer and obliterating Calle, the temple's focus is still on the defense of the necromancer's attack, but now no one knows where the second prince of Calle has gone, and perhaps he is watching this game with the two lords' territories as the arena is unknown.
"Follow the trails, I suspect that is our real goal! The place where the footprints of the march were found was next to the warehouse where the two-knife skeleton had fallen, and if it was really traversed from east to west, it would be the most time-saving path to take from that warehouse, and the unit that suddenly left traces was probably the 10th Guards Regiment that Caller had created out of nothing, and he might have to go and see it, as long as he saw the scene, Richie was confident that he could catch up with this unit.
Richie led the people to shake off the temple sacrifice and went directly to the scene, and just in the small col where his territory was about to cross the border, Calle stopped his figure and said to Jesse, "I'm about to go out, do you have any plans again?"
Jesse was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this lord didn't say anything, I guess he is having a good time in the territory of the two old men now, right?"
