0096 Conspiracy
The context of the matter is already clear.
The Lord Sandmaker senses the return of the Lord of the Sand and begins to clear the wasteland.
It all makes sense. But according to Li Li's understanding, it is not only the Sand City Mayor who is strong enough on the desert.
There is also a joint force called the Desert Alliance.
This faction has a wide variety of races, occupying both the eastern and northern parts of the wasteland.
The city of sand has been at war for years, and the two sides have been evenly matched.
Li Li proposed that this was something that could be united, and Norman shook his head with a wry smile and explained the reason.
In the two tribes of the Python Shayuan, when they had not yet formed a separatist situation in the south.
The Desert Alliance once controlled the south and constantly launched attacks on the province of Fran.
So far, the two sides have been fighting each other, and because it is a joint force, the [Desert Alliance] can't maintain trust in the forces that can't be absorbed.
"If that's the case, then the Desert Alliance will have to take the initiative to fight against Sand City."
Li Li gave an inference.
"It's not that easy, although they are far more hostile to the Sand City than you and me, but the return of the Sand Lord will definitely make them avoid it, and the expansion direction of the Sand Mason will be directed to the Province of Fran at that time."
Norman sighed helplessly.
"I mean, let's talk about it."
Li Li said.
"Okay, then in the town of Magic Spring, I'll prepare."
Norman got up and left.
Three days later, a bronze-skinned, red-haired man stepped into the town tavern.
"Hahaha, Norman, we haven't seen each other in a long time."
The red-haired man smiled heartily.
【Blunt Master】Bronze Lv.77
"yes, Xuantong, we haven't seen each other in a while."
"Who is this?"
"Invincible City Lord Li Li."
Norman said.
"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time."
After shaking hands, Xuantong sat down, unceremoniously faced the food on the table and began to eat it.
"Woo... Sorry, the animal meat in the wasteland is really unpalatable, and the cooking level is not good. ”
The bulging bronze cheeks said with a smile.
"Don't be in a hurry to eat slowly, I came to you this time mainly to talk about the future situation of the wasteland."
Norman cuts to the chase.
"This... It's not something I can decide, only the eldest brother and the second brother have the right to decide. ”
Xuantong said, stuffing the whole roast chicken into his mouth.
Li Li and Norman glanced at each other.
In fact, as early as when you see the person sent by the other party, you have to guess the result.
Xuantong's own strength is not weak, but in the [Wasteland Alliance], it is only the three masters of the strongest human lineage.
He also has two elder brothers, namely the second brother Xuanyin and the eldest brother Xuanjin.
In terms of status, whether or not to form an alliance with the province of Fran is not the turn of Xuantong to make a decision.
His appearance in itself represents the attitude of the [Wasteland Alliance] to resist.
When Xuantong was full of wine and food, he directly said goodbye on the grounds of fatigue on the road.
"This is to see that the Lord of Sand is an Aragami."
Norman said with a helpless sigh.
"What is Aragami?"
After Li Li felt the attitude of the [Wasteland Alliance], he knew that there must be a routine in it, but he didn't expect Norman to have seen through everything.
"Aragami just doesn't need to be worshiped by psychic creatures, and only by following monsters and monsters, it can also achieve the strange existence of Shinto."
Norman gives an explanation.
"Monsters and monsters must have a vast living space before they can appear in large-scale clusters, if the Lord of Sand wants more believers... Expansion of the desert. ”
Li Li immediately understood Norman's words.
Aragami doesn't value the size of the territory under control, but the size of the area type.
The larger the area of the wasteland, the more monsters and monsters can be recruited.
As for whether it will be occupied, it is not absolute.
And the [Wasteland Alliance] is obviously much more adaptable to the wasteland than Dotflange.
Of course, the other party is willing to use the return of the Lord of Sand to change the surrounding pattern.
It doesn't matter if there will be an invasion at that time, Flange and Dott are already desertified anyway.
Li Li thought about each of these links, and suddenly noticed a place that was not quite reasonable.
"Wait, how does the Wasteland Alliance ensure that the Lord of Sand won't trouble them first when he returns?"
This is a very unreasonable place.
Because even if the Sand Lord expands the wasteland to the end, from the perspective of distance, he should first go to the [Wasteland Alliance] for revenge.
Although the human vein is the strongest among them, they only sent a three-master to contact Norman, which is obviously fearless.
Norman suddenly noticed it.
The expansion of the wasteland region is indeed very beneficial to them, but it is impossible to bypass the grievances between the two sides over the years.
Then why did the [Wasteland Alliance] decide that the first unlucky person was not himself?
"Guidance, and it is a very malicious guidance, maybe the attack of the sandmaker on the python and the sand abyss is already the result of the guidance."
Li Li gave a conclusion.
Norman thought for a moment, then nodded in approval.
Because the south has always been the most peaceful area of the wasteland.
The Lord of Sand is about to return, and the Sand City is active, and the sweeping surrounding forces can understand.
But to take the south first, it's really a bit reluctant to go far, unless you are guided by others.
And the only one who has the ability and the position to do this kind of thing is the [Wasteland Alliance].
What a trick to lead the water!
And the layout should have started a long time ago.
"It's too late to study the specific methods used by the other party, so let's think about how to deal with it."
Norman said helplessly.
Once the province of France is desertified, all kinds of magic grass cultivated on a large scale will be extinct.
The foundation of the Magic Council may also be ruined.
"Do you think the walls can resist the expansion of the desert?"
Li Li asked curiously.
"It's... Lord Li Li, don't you want to seek self-preservation at this time? ”
Norman froze.
"I want to put the province of France into the city walls..."
Li Li sighed helplessly, deeply feeling that human thoughts are really complicated.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
Norman hurriedly apologized.
"Actually, I didn't expect much, after all, the sand masons can gather the cliffs at will, and if it is the master of the sand, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the city wall to restrain the other party."
Li Li is still very confident in his city wall, but this time the enemy's ability is somewhat similar to his own.
After all, no matter how strong the block wall is, it must be rooted in the ground.
If you really stumble in this regard, it's really hard to say whether you can gain an advantage in front of a fallen god.
Xuantong has been eating, drinking, and having fun for two days, and is about to take people back.
Since he didn't find anything abnormal, Li Li drove the second master to use the Golem core to monitor and follow him at a high altitude.
In the villages and towns that were about to leave the territory of Flange, Xuantong bought many, many large planks.
There was nothing strange about this move, and after passing through the border, everything was still business as usual for half a day.
At this time, affected by the wind and sand, the signal of Li Li's [Psychic Vision] was already in a relatively poor state.
Just as he was about to drive the second master back, the team led by Xuantong suddenly stopped, and the wooden planks he bought were bound together on the spot.
After that, the sand tower pattern representing the sand city was depicted, and then a big red cross was painted with the blood of the demon beast.
The next step is to use a wooden stake to erect this wooden sign with a very strong sense of instruction.
That's not all, continue to carve the logo on the template, only this time it's the sunflower representing the Invincible City, and the Moran grass representing the Magic Council.
When the other two signs are erected, no matter how stupid people are, they can see that this is deliberately causing trouble.
Xu Wen and the people of the Shayuan tribe would feel if they knew that they had been destroyed just because of a few wooden cards.
Li Li was a little speechless.
However, this does fit the tone of the Sand City.
A force that even Aragami believes in will definitely not have much discernment.
Li Li tried to use the [Psychic Vision] to contact the [Golem Core] placed on Shasha's body.
After two hours of trying, I finally got a signal when the rustle came to the surface.
Li Li asked him to help very simply, that is, to pick a time period when no one passed by, and secretly dismantle those wooden signs.
Desert geology is inherently difficult to insert wooden stakes, and over time, even if no one touches them, these wooden signs will not be able to stand for long.
Rustle can destroy it all with a seemingly random pass.
There is no risk of being detected at all.
Of course, creating an atmosphere of invincibility and the Council of Magic invading the wasteland and defying the Lord of Sand may be just one of the ways to create an atmosphere where the Invincible City and the Magical Council are invading the wasteland.
But the cost is too low.
Li Li still wanted to continue, but the signal transmission distance of the [Golem Core] had already reached its limit under the interference of the wind and sand, and in order for the second master to return safely, he terminated the tracking.
Late at night, the lights were still on in the Ink Springs Town Tavern.
Li Li and Norman are constantly discussing various feasible methods.
Unfortunately, there has been no progress at all.
Because for the [Wasteland Alliance], the wasteland is the opponent's home field.
And if you really take action, once the traces of activity are too obvious, under the fanning of the [Wasteland Alliance], it will become a fact to want to occupy the wasteland and trap.
At this time, Bai Haitao sent a private chat message, conveying an even more unfavorable news.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Souls sensed that the Soul Portal was in turmoil, and there might be a risk of connecting in the near future.
Judging from the current opening area and the maximum maintenance time, it is enough for a fallen god to complete the crossing.
"No, do you want to be defeated by this untechnical trick."
Li Li was also speechless.
"If you can't do it, prepare for war, fight this old bone, a fallen god, there should still be a chance."
Norman's face glowed.
"This Lord of Sand is too stupid, he will come to target us casually, no wonder it will fall."
Shen Qiaoyin said with a sigh of relief.
Li Li was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the map of the surrounding area.
"That's right! If the Wasteland Alliance can lie to him, so can we! ”
Li Li's sudden rise startled everyone around him.
"It's not that easy, the Lord of Sand is a desolate god, and he doesn't have much trust in humans, and besides, Tianxing Province borders the wasteland, as long as he enters the wasteland, the wasteland alliance will definitely make arrangements."
Norman felt that it didn't work.
"If the information is asymmetrical, the Holy Soul King can only appear in the human world because of the response of the Ten Thousand Soul Lords, and it should be difficult for other fallen gods to even transmit perception, otherwise why would both the Sand City and the Wasteland Alliance focus their attention on the southern part of the border with the province of France?"
Norman was stunned after listening to Li Li's inference.
"Are you saying that even if you are a sandmaker, you can only rely on the resonance brought by long-term worship, and vaguely know that the Lord of Sand is about to return, but the exact location is not clear?"
"Maybe it's more exaggerated than that, they probably don't even know what a soul portal does."
Li Li further inferred.
"This can't be..."
"Without my confirmation, Norman, you wouldn't have dared to think that the portal of Tianxing Province was the one that fell to the ground."
"Well, that's right, which means that the reason why the Wasteland Alliance knows about the return of the Sand Lord is not because of what was detected in the intelligence, but because of the judgment made by the sandmaker's behavior."
"Yes, this point was clearly stated when the sandmaker attacked Xu Wen, the return of the Sand Lord, the Wasteland Alliance will only obtain it earlier."
Li Li felt that the whole thing had finally been smoothed out.
"But even if the Lord of Sand returns from the northern part of the Wasteland of Tianxing Province, he still can't get rid of the Wasteland Alliance."
"Then they need to be able to see the Lord of the Sands."
Li Li got up as he spoke, and said to Wang Qiang, who was sending a message in the chat channel: "Wang Qiang, tell all the subordinate lords who are assembling troops that the forcible killing plan has been terminated, and I have a new arrangement." ”
"Okay."
After Wang Qiang responded, he deleted the text that had been typed.
Norman smiled helplessly, thinking that Li Li really had two hands to prepare.
It seems that there is nothing to be done, but in fact, the worst plan has been prepared, that is, to gather troops to block the portal, and wait for the Lord of Sand to enter the human realm, and kill him.
"What do you need the Magic Council to do?"
Norman asked, getting up.
"Wang Qiang will stay here to be in charge of contact, and he will inform if necessary."
After Li Li finished speaking, he quickly went out and jumped onto the back of the second uncle.
"Now back to Dort? What exactly are you going to do? ”
Shen Qiaoyin, who was traveling with him, couldn't help but feel curious when he saw the direction in which the second master was flying.
"Escort the Lord of Sand home, the all-round kind."
Li Li replied.
"Huh? Li Li, you know, the last thing my Ten Thousand Souls Lord will do is to lie, if the Lord of Sand detects the problem, he will not tear me apart on the spot, if I die, what will happen to the ghosts in the city? ”
In the underground Ten Thousand Souls City, the Ten Thousand Souls Lord kept shaking his head.
"It makes sense, but once Dott is desertified, the inhabitants will migrate in large numbers, the number of geists will be greatly reduced, and there will be monsters rampant above your head every day, and there will be terrible sand abyss devouring beasts lurking around, maybe one day the dive will be deeper, and you will come here directly."
"Hmm..."
The Lord of Ten Thousand Souls was speechless.
"And most importantly, that portal can't be made without you, Norman, the president of the Magic Council, but I'm worried about the safety of France, in case Starlight City really has three longs and two shorts, I honestly can't protect you."
Li Li was telling the truth.
Every force and race on the sub-ancient continent will do whatever it takes to maintain its superiority.
It is understandable that the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls wants to use the Fallen God to get rid of the control of the Demon God and fight for the interests of the race.
But at the same time, the forces that have suffered because of this, of course, also have the right to revenge.
Norman did not rush to make a move, but there was still room for redemption in the situation.
If the province of Françaine is gone, the parliament will be hit hard and forced to relocate.
The first object to be avenged is the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls.
"Okay, I'll go."
The Lord of Ten Thousand Souls said with his head down.
