But maybe you don't have to think about that yet, right?
If the Duke was smart enough, he wouldn't have made the same mistakes as before—he would need to at least have a larger force at his disposal, but in this plane, this is obviously not an easy task. Edward, in particular, knew that the other side had just ended a war.
He did have the ability to conquer himself, but how many troops would have to be sent to put Edward to death?
Thousands, tens of thousands?
Edward turned around and swept his gaze across the battlefield, on the battlefield, the soldiers who originally belonged to Siegel had already thrown down their weapons and given up resistance - now that the commanders had fled, there was no point in resisting, not to mention, those giants had fallen into the hands of the enemy?
The giants had quieted down, sitting in the center of the battlefield, and the power of the contract restrained them, making them dare not move a little, and they looked quite simple.
However, this huge monster is undoubtedly extremely terrifying, they move quickly, their terrifying huge bodies, and they can withstand huge blows...... Moreover, their strength can even be used to replace tools such as catapults, ballistas, etc., in the face of them, the low-level infantry is afraid that it will not help to burrow into the fortifications, cover and concealment under their power are simply paper barriers, the infantry is widely dispersed, and more long-range attacks are used, or it will be effective, but even if fifty soldiers are combined, it is difficult to defeat a giant through melee combat.
Now, they have become Edward's strength, these dozen giants in his hands, the power that can be exerted is far more than thousands of troops, if the city can be defended, this kind of power is even stronger.
Therefore, if you want to attack the current Burgundy, it is not enough to have an army with tens of thousands of people and special arms. And if this army wants to be deployed, it is not so easy, people eat horses. Ensuring logistics is definitely a large expense, and food alone will cost tens of thousands of bushels.
And after such a battle. The other party must have a lot of speculation about Edward's strength......
The death of the previous mage was enough to make him suspicious—as long as the duke used this to estimate Edward's ability, he would never dare to provoke lightly. What's more, he already knew about Edward's backstage. That was enough for him to carefully consider the gains and losses when he did something. ...... Although in fact, Albert's relationship with Edward was not as close as he imagined.
In this way, at least in a certain sense, Burgundy will not encounter any danger in the near future - if you want to protect yourself, you don't necessarily need to be equal to the strength of your opponent, as long as you let the opponent understand. Destroying you would be extremely costly. That's it.
Of course, this tactic of deterrence cannot be maintained forever, but after the summer, the autumn harvest will follow. There are at least a few months that are not suitable for waging war, and these months are not suitable for the war. It was enough for Burgundy to develop.
"Let the regular soldiers go, though. They had to be stripped of their equipment, and the peasants took them over and let them go to the logging first. ”
Thinking about these things, Edward casually commanded. In his mind, he counted the benefits of this war to him.
First of all, in Sigma City, the property of that lord - there is nothing worth mentioning financially, after all, in such a small city, the wealth accumulated by relying on taxes is one or two thousand gold coins, which is already a lot. Edward's previous expenses for the dismissal of residents were more than that.
However, the food hoarded in the city can be regarded as a small surprise. This lord indeed possessed the 'excellent' qualities of the nobility of this era, and even if his people lived half-starved and half-fed all year round, his granary was still piled up with mountains of wheat and salted meat.
But now this qiē is cheaper than a certain miserly former hunter, after all, the people of his city, Edward must accept it, and the peasant soldiers who came to attack this time, at least fifteen or six hundred, as a precursor - as long as it is done properly, in a few days, Burgundy will become a medium city, soldiers, population, will no longer be a problem.
On the other hand, the power of gunpowder arrows and mines has been tested and is a little better than expected, although the lethality is a little insufficient, but as long as the ratio of magic explosives and gunpowder is adjusted, it should have a good effect. The strength of the half-elves is also much stronger than expected, especially in terms of sniper accuracy.
But there are always some unsatisfactory points, such as the range of arrows.
If it was the plane in memory, if he had found such a talent and had such sufficient financial resources, Edward would have given everyone an M101 a long time ago, but now, he could only work on the pulley bow.
It's not that the harder the bow, the more powerful the arrows will be. The power of an arrow is only related to speed. The pulley bow that Edward often used was very tense, so it was necessary to use arrows with iron cores, which on the one hand also increased the power, and such heavy arrows and light arrows were about three times worse in weight, but at least five times more powerful than light arrows, and the farther they farthered, the greater the difference. Edward's heavy arrows could pierce through the chain armor from a distance of 300 feet, but ordinary light arrows could not penetrate even raw cowhide.
Therefore, if you want to balance power and distance, ordinary materials may not meet the requirements......
"How much time do you want to waste here?" Back in the mage's top room, as he sat down on the comfortable stone chair, the Shard servant slipped out of Edward's hood and jumped onto the table.
"What?"
Edward looked up at the little black thing, which had eight long legs and a soft click on the table.
"I mean, how long are you going to delay on all this boring stuff?"
"The so-called trouble, to put it bluntly, is just whether your own strength is strong enough...... If you hadn't come back, those giants might have slaughtered them all!" Without waiting for the master's answer, the spirit crystal servant sneered: "Such a guy, whether it develops or not, it is not very important at all, it will only thin your limited time! Conquer the city and dominate the city? Or there are idiots in this world who like this, but are you? Your dream is to use these idiots to rule a group of idiots?"
Yes and no.
Even if Edward wasn't in the city, he wouldn't be able to kill all of them, even if the enemy was joined by giants. But on his side, the priests of the Dark Lady are also spellcasters, and they also have that earth elemental creature as their hole cards, if they are willing to pay some price. Those five high-level mages are not unable to help, and with five against one, this winning chance is still quite large.
If it weren't for him, Edward. Those five mages and elemental creatures may not be able to ...... here But if it were really investigated, without Edward, this battle would not actually happen, and this is just a small village of a few hundred people, which continues to be exploited by those mercenary robbers. It's just a hard life.
But more importantly...... Strength bar.
After all, things like territories are just means to an end...... What's more, he has more important things to do.
"In this battle, you did grow a little, but that's a sure thing, you have your goal, right? For freedom, you have to have power? But now, have you left this idea behind? Isn't it...... Are you ......used to the day when the woman is not with you?"
"Shut up!"
Edward scolded!
in the room. Extremely quiet...... Only the magic hourglass on the table. A thin ringing sound.
However, even if the spirit crystal servant no longer spoke, Edward's state of mind could no longer return to the peace he had just had.
Habit...... Is it?
That shadow is still in my heart, and I have never forgotten a bit. However, it does seem to be habitual on its own. Subconsciously stop letting your thoughts touch there...... It doesn't have to be conscious. Escaping is human, no. The instinct of almost all living beings.
But Edward also knew that evasion would not solve anything.
But when faced head-on, that kind of thought always seems to be heart-wrenching...... Elena is still in a corner of that body, when will her strength be able to break through again, and will she be able to catch up and overtake that blazing god servant?
Time, in silence, passes slowly...... After a long time, Edward let out a long sigh.
This feeling of being in a situation is extremely uncomfortable. I just feel that there are a lot of things coming, I can't figure it out at all, I can't see clearly, and I don't know what to do. Urgency, depression, or longing, self-blame, all kinds of negative feelings are also flourishing. But after all, he can't just sink and sink himself into this bottomless and meaningless whirlpool.
Stretching out his hand, he took out the two books that recorded psionic energy, and after getting these two books from Rosalind's hand, he had read them roughly, and with the help of the power of self-hypnosis, he firmly engraved the parts he needed, but the memory was not carefully studied, and there were some subtleties that could not be understood.
For example, over-limit conduction.
This manifestation method that Edward inadvertently used can allow the psychic warlock to temporarily break through his limits and burn more psionic energy points into an ability, enhancing its power and effect, although the price is that it will cause some damage to himself, but the damage can be restored through guò healing after all, but the power of some abilities in battle is to determine the outcome of the battle.
In fact, there are many such abilities -
Powerful manifest energy that doubles the power of the burst, extreme manifest energy that allows the power to burst to the maximum in an instant, increased telekinetic manifest that increases the range of effect, and piercing manifest that Edward has already used to penetrate the opponent's mental defense, and increased time...... The list goes on and on. They're not abilities, they're just a manifestation technique. But such a technique is undoubtedly very useful, and it can increase the power of manifest energy on a considerable scale. For the current Edward, it is indeed a good replenishment ability.
"Actually, the over-the-limit channeling energy you are trying is the most difficult of these powers, and the other abilities will not pay a great price, but they just need the user's concentrated guidance. The Spirit Crystal paused on the page for a moment: "But be careful, this skill, like your ability, cannot be fully adapted by the body, so you can only choose a few of them that are more valuable...... Of course, it can also be regained with the power of mind renewal, but don't forget that it will drain your power. ”
Edward listened quietly, slowly flipping through the pages.
By chance. His gaze stayed on a certain page, but his heart suddenly moved.
Level 4 ability. Remote viewing.
...... Can a person's consciousness travel through space and dimension, forming a semi-physical point of view, through which you can see and hear creatures from any distance, even on another plane?
The Psychic Warlock read it carefully. Soon, however, he noticed with some disappointment the problem with the labeling - this power was a simple remote sensing, and like other prophecy magic, it was easily disturbed and hindered, unlike the previous shared perception. Some magical defenses can be ignored, as long as the target is in some city and protected by a large magical defense system, there is no way to have an effect.
Unfortunately, for the fragments of royal power, it has the power to disrupt the surrounding magic web, and even the energy of a qiē magic, all the ways of prophecy remote sensing. None of them can be effective.
Not. Not necessarily, before, Edward personally destroyed the theocratic user of Miè, and he seems to have found Edward's location through the way of magic, although it is only a rough estimate. But it's already a success story, but he's now reduced to ashes. The remaining one of the insiders didn't know where they had gone. There is no way to find it.
Wait a minute......
After a slight pause, he smiled slightly.
Close your eyes and let the tentacles of psionic energy shape the energy in the air...... Thoughts quickly sink in.
Everything around him became illusory, as if the world was moving away from him, leaving him alone floating in the endless void. The dark halo gradually recedes, and a little red light expands in the center of the field of vision, and finally turns into a series of light and dark light and shadow.
Time has gradually passed......
There was a subtle sound in the air, which was a uniform, loud, sweet singing, but the language used, light and mysterious, could not be understood—although it could not be understood, but the sacredness contained in each word made the light around it gradually clear.
There is no stagnation between the flow of thoughts, flexible and meticulous, and finally, when the field of vision extends outward a little, it seems that more things can be seen.
It's getting dark, it's almost dusk.
The body seemed to be suspended above the sky, and what was different from the night, a huge shadow was slowly enveloping the earth, and in the ultramarine sky, the vermilion remnant sun also seemed dim at the moment. But in the shadows of this night, a golden sun rose!
Edward's will, however, was standing in this golden light, and at the closest distance, he could almost see the slender figure that seemed to be faintly visible in the scorching, dazzling golden light.
But his gaze, which only stayed there for a moment, turned to the overhead, a huge shadow in the sky.
The psychic felt his pupils constrict, for it was not the night, but the ......
Dragon!
Although the vague luster, the dim light of the setting sun compared to the golden light, and the distance of hundreds of feet made it impossible to see the details of the giant beast that suddenly appeared in the sky, but the aura, the majesty, the unique form. It has been clearly shown that it is identified.
A dragon rarely seen on earth......
Its shadow immediately became clear, for this huge figure, which was more than thirty feet tall, was flying into the sky!
The body, covered with thick, crimson shiny scales that were tightly interlocked, looked more and more dazzling like magma in the light. A pair of dark red wings folded slightly, and the huge body tore out a turbulence in the air!
Thinking seemed to slow down, Edward narrowed his eyes, as if he could notice every detail of the dragon, the bright red that stretched from his massive head towards his body, revealing a dark red that had accumulated a lot of age, the smooth texture reflecting the light of the lava along the scales, and streams of sparks spurting out of his huge nostrils with the breath of the behemoth,
Embedded in deep sockets, two lava-like eyes were staring at the golden light in front of him, and around him, a piercing rumble of laughter lingered. A deep voice pierced through the chaotic wind in the field, striking at everyone's heart:
"Don't think that your strength can match our generation here, although we admit that you and other visitors from the heavenly realm do have great power!"
Yes, the heart of every man.
The golden flame burned on the bodies of several figures around them, outlining them into human shapes with wings outstretched, and when the red beast fell, they had already charged forward like fire!
The dragon let out a long roar.
And so, the fire dissipated.
The human figures flew backwards in the scattered golden light! one after another, in the accelerated vision, it seemed to slow down...... But the charge of the six Astral Apostles only left a half-foot thick scar on those heavy crimson scales—don't doubt it, this is no different from tickling for a dragon!
Then, Edward involuntarily retracted his body, and the surging sound impacted his spirit!
And in the next moment, he had involuntarily moved forward - the target of the follower, who was being watched from afar, went straight to the giant beast like a red mountain!
Red, along with gold, took over the telemancer's field of vision, and then disappeared.
The golden flame burned fiercely, and the dark red color gushed like a waterfall!
The dragon's roar was earth-shattering, and the resentment in it almost turned into substance, but after all, it couldn't change anything, and one of its bat wings had already left its body in the next moment! (To be continued......)
