Verse 41: Fragments Before Dawn
At the same time, deep in the Fagon Forest.
Alexandra's gaze split in two, looking at both the immediate and the distance—the wheelchair had saved her a lot of computing power. And now she can keep an eye on two war zones at the same time.
She stared at the woods more than a dozen kilometers away—the reincarnations of the Southern Yanzhou team had successfully found the Tree Beard of the Tree Man King, and had persuaded it with a physical projection. But as explained in the original book, the Tree Man was very stubborn before being convinced, even if the reincarnators of the Nanyanzhou team came up with definite evidence, the King of the Tree Man demanded that seeing be believing.
They are on the move.
The king of the treants is taking his steps towards Isengard.
Judging from the speed of the treeman's feet, even if the current speed is already running, it will take at least a dozen hours to reach the edge of the felled forest.
The soldier is fast...... However, under the constraints of congenital conditions, the process that should be followed must always be followed. Unfortunately, the East American team's strategists have a lot of plans for this.
- I didn't disclose the attack of the reincarnation to Saruman in advance. In this way, you will not fall completely into the dark camp. However, there is a high probability that Saruman will strengthen the defenses around Isenger because of our actions, so that even if the Treants win in the end, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses under Isengard's tower.
- Hmm...... Balls...... A strange sense of unease. Am I missing something?
Deduction.
The blonde girl reviewed her plan - the process of mental infiltration was very smooth. I didn't fall behind anything. And the war between reincarnators is meant to be all-encompassing—at least, she thinks.
But she still felt a little uneasy—she looked inside her and found that the source of this uneasiness was her own judgment that this war would have a major weakening of the Treants' army. Because according to her plan and judgment, the battle of Issinger that broke out early would inevitably attract the attention of the other reincarnation teams, and no matter what method they used to interfere in this war, they would detonate the spiritual thunder inside Nanyanzhou at that time, so that this team would attract firepower and suffer trauma. And he quietly harvested a large amount of reincarnation resources to survive the punishment of team battle score reduction and main quest failure.
This should be a good plan.
The consequence of the plan is nothing more than that the South Yanzhou team has suffered heavy casualties, and the Tree People have also suffered heavy casualties or even simply collapsed due to the damage to their allies and the interference of foreign enemies - and Saruman may also be greatly damaged, but there is a high probability that he will survive this sudden attack. And with the demise of the Treants, it will no longer hinder the development of the Fagon Forest, and perhaps the Twin Towers Alliance will soon be able to exert a powerful effect that the original game has not shown.
This is a serious blow to the bright side, but this is the necessary price - she is not worried that Saruman is really too big to lose, anyway, the Central Continent team will most likely be biased towards the bright side, since they can defeat Zhao Shukong, then naturally they can also get rid of Saruman.
But......
- Why?
The blonde girl raised her head slightly, her gaze through the layers of night that blocked her vision. Before dawn, the sky seemed unusually dark tonight. She vaguely remembered that she could see the starry sky in the canopy a few days ago, but now it seemed that even the moon had become dim and hazy.
It was a bad omen—perhaps an inevitable part of the rise of darkness—but in her mind, she felt that it was a much more likely bad omen.
The feeling of uneasiness has increased.
It's as if deep down there's another self whispering in her ear, warning her not to follow the original plan in an attempt to get the most out of it. There is a thing called "taking what you see", and the result of greed may be nothing.
- I......
She took a deep breath.
She should probably think about when her inspiration was so high.
…………………………
Neos took a bite of the apple. His gaze swept over his teammates.
- The fish has taken the bait.
- Sure enough, as I had assumed, stepping into the Fagon Forest was a valid inducement. Another team has their eye on us, and now, it's probably East America.
He held his scepter and walked unhurriedly through the woods. What an outsider may not know is that he has a considerable depth of mastery of his team and is aware of every flaw in that team - some of which are shortcomings that are difficult to fill immediately, and others that overlap with many overlapping former are bait to lure enemies.
Among them, there is a lack of Xue Ling'er's mental power level, and she has not been able to open a higher-level genetic lock for a long time, and she has mastered the real weakness of unique mental power combat skills. And if the opponent's main advantage is a high-level psychic power, then the opponent will most likely use Xue Ling'er as a springboard to pollute other members of the team through her psychic link and exert a means of illusion control. And then there is the internal and external offensive accompanied by powerful external raids.
If it were him, he would have done it.
And because he knew about this loophole, he would naturally pay special attention to the corresponding area - with half a foot to unlock the third-order genetic lock, he had the means to regularly test the mental state of all his companions. As early as the second minute after Alexandra got the hang of it, he had already spotted a subtle flaw in the team.
After all, he had exchanged the bloodline of the Three-Eyed Clan—and the main tendency of this bloodline was the use of psychic power. Even if he needed two thousand five hundred spiritual power attributes in the judgment of the main god to be able to exchange spiritual power skills, his companions were aware of this fact. But......
Who said that he doesn't have 2,500 spiritual power attributes now?
He already knows. It's just that......
- It's a little weird.
- Under normal circumstances, once the confusion control is successful. The most important thing to do is to launch an attack and grab the corresponding capture from us as quickly as possible...... When I noticed the anomaly, we hadn't been able to find the beard. And at that time, it was obviously the best time to do it, but it was missed by the other party in vain......
He was puzzled by this, but the confusion did not last long. Since the opponent did not attack at the time node where he had the best and even if he had a backhand, he would have to pay a certain price, it would mean that the other party was unable to do so, it represented the lack of the main combat power at hand, or it was more simply excessive conceit, so that he wanted to make the most of the value of the South Yanzhou team on the battlefield of Isenger. And no matter which truth it is, it means that the goddess of victory is exerting favor on Nanyan.
After all......
- If it's in other team battle worlds, I really can't do anything about you, so I can only start in a roundabout way.
- In the Ring of the Ring, which is suppressed by the Great Barrier of Iluvita...... Although your mental power is stronger than Xue Ling'er, how much higher can you go? How close do you need to be from us to maintain your mind control over her?
For reincarnators, the Psychic Link is indeed a very convenient communication skill.
But for a mature reincarnation team, the means of communication will definitely not be limited to just one kind of spiritual power.
And now......
- "Where have you been, Hofel. ”
Hoffer is Rohan's new rise to fame, a target for Neos to stay on the outside, but also a hidden ambush. He carries the 'momentum' from Rohan, and even if the Fagon Forest does not support cavalry charges, there is no shortage of fierce warriors in the Rohan crowd who can dismount and fight in groups.
And through a hidden curiosity, Hoffer's voice was accurately conveyed in his ears.
- "It's closer, and I've found a trace...... There should be four people chasing you, two of them looking strangely stiff, and one of them is of low strength. There is only one person who feels like he has two brushes...... I think it should be a young woman. ”
Four people were found, which was good.
There are actually members of the four who have low combat power, and the other two are in an abnormal state...... This is the key piece of information that makes the situation clearer.
Neos's face remained silent, and he didn't take out the map of the living spots in his pocket to detect the surrounding area - that information must have been exposed to the other party's eyes, but that kind of thing didn't matter, anyway, the most important core information was always in his heart, and everything leaked was valuable, but at the critical moment, it was also a weight for layout.
The third eye, deep in his eyebrows, trembled slightly. The ability of the Three-Eyed Clan allows him to parse all things, and naturally he is able to communicate with all things. And not long ago, what he used to persuade Shuhu was not actually the physical projection containing magic technology, but the spiritual communication that could effectively express the sincerity of the reincarnation with the help of high spiritual power under the noses of hostile spiritual powers.
It worked, but the communication went a little bit off his behalf. The Treemen didn't seem to be as stubborn as in the original book, but were easily persuaded by him—and even as soon as the Treebeard got up, its will was already spreading throughout the forest through the whispers of the ancient Treemen. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to startle the snakes, the whole forest would have turned into a living creature at this moment.
- But...... The Treants are willing to even cooperate with our tactics. They had just received the news of the slaughter of their compatriots, and I felt a real sense of anger in Treebeard's heart...... It's strange how they can trust us strange humans so easily as they are closest to nature. Is it because the power of the Light Camp is rising? Or is it ......
- Is there something I don't know about, that's working?
There are doubts, but now is not the time to solve them. He made a request to the Treant King to share his vision of the forest, and the Treant King replied with only a brief hesitation. And when his gaze flowed in the eyes of the tree man, another trace of evidence provided by Hofel also allowed him to obtain a worthy result.
He found them.
Although there is no figure, there is no taste. The magic effect also obscured the immediate footprints and traces, but he calculated the right place. The vibration of a certain tree-lined ground was mixed with some impurities. And he soon went on to calculate more detailed parameters.
Two people walking, one pushing a wheelchair.
The mental power in the wheelchair, the two puppets behind the wheelchair.
What an immature opponent, it was obvious that this psychic man lacked experience in team fights. Temporarily changing one's own state of action naturally means exposing one's strength. If it weren't for the fact that her opponent was already close to the limit, there was no need for her to save computing power by using a wheelchair. And a person with not very strong mental strength went deep into the ...... alone with two puppets and an attendant This is obviously not in line with the caution of the weak team or the calmness of the strong team. It's more like a desperate fight for the remnants of an army.
Is...... Full of flaws.
The answer is already clear, the poor East American team is somewhere...... There is a high probability that the Middle-earth team has suffered a lot. The main combat power was exhausted, and only two or three kittens were left to struggle for their lives, and they struggled to the death, so they had to fight their ideas to the Nanyanzhou team, which the main god judged to be the weakest, in order to share the firepower, or make up the ransom for the failure of the main line of the team battle.
Courage is commendable, that is...... It's too vegetable.
Neos originally looked up at the other party because he was able to silently confuse Xue Ling'er. But now it seems that the other party can do it because of the corresponding price or secret treasure.
After all, Xue Ling'er is certainly a waste that is difficult to hold up to the wall no matter how she is cultivated, and is basically useless except for her old qualifications. But waste also has a role to waste - any team that is familiar with the process of teamfights should be quite aware of this common sense. If a weak reincarnator is not eliminated before the team battle and still occupies an important position, then she must have a unique function.
So......
Neos sighed in his heart, and he didn't know whether it was a coincidence, the area where the other party was located happened to be all ordinary trees with no essence and the terrain was complicated. Quite good for running. And if you do it now, then there is a high probability that you will not be able to keep the other party completely.
But it doesn't hurt.
Since the other party has not made a move, it shows that this rookie is both bold and cautious, insidious and greedy. She thought she was planning to take advantage of the Battle of Isengh to maximize the benefits. And in this way, she will soon be out of the block that is the least suitable for attack. And as long as she leaves from there, the Treant and the imminent surprise attack on Hofel, who is about to take precautions, will make her pay a heavy price.
Her luck was clearly bad.
Therefore, there should not be some kind of hellish possibility for her to be in this point in time that is completely unsuitable for hands-on, but it is also the only way to live...... Suddenly start killing?
…………………………
"Ah Qiu!"
In the plains east of Fengyunding, in the wasteland some distance from Rivendell, a bitter fox witch suddenly sneezed violently. She looked around in confusion, then scratched her head.
"Ye Zi? Do you have a cold? Kuhaha, who was also forced to work because he signed a contract, glanced at his companion in confusion. I remember that your physical fitness should be very strong, could it be some kind of magic cold? ”
"Possibly." The fox witch nodded and shook again. "But it's not like ...... The main thing is that the head is a little itchy. Not...... Is it to grow a brain? ”
"Poof—" Gunniel, one of the hapless trio, scoffed. "Long brain...... You might as well expect to sleep casually and unlock the fourth-order genetic lock when you open your eyes. ”
"Makes sense." Ye Zi nodded. "That's probably not a brain...... So I feel very normally unwell, but I'm in good shape right now. ”
"So it's some kind of high-level magic cold?" Overlord, added a definite sentence.
"It's a possibility...... But is it possible that my intuition is giving me some warning signs? Her ears twitched.
And the overlord tilted his head slightly.
"Intuition...... My instincts didn't tell me where to go, what to cut, and how much...... It seems my instinct wants me not to get too busy going forward. ”
"Looks like we weren't going to make a fuss, right?" Gunniel, twitching at the corners of his eyes. "We still have a contract on our heads."
“…… That's right, then let's continue to fulfill the agreement with the Middle-earth team. Ye Zi nodded. We don't have much else to do right now, anyway. And it's a hassle-free contract. ”
Her two companions agreed.
So, the Arctic Continent team knew nothing and did nothing. It was to follow the ordination keeper undisturbed in a daze, and continue to the place known as Rivendell.
It's not dawn yet.
