Chapter 839: Traitors are the most hateful
The Dusk Witch duly explained, "The reason why I chose to go around the Jedi is because it belongs to the Elemental Destiny Gate of the Lythman Kingdom, and there is a place where the souls of at least four witches are in harmony, and once it is desecrated, their most powerful Haslan Witch will be gone."
While greatly weakening their strength, it will also cause internal chaos among them, and when the time comes, whether you advance or retreat, you will have absolute initiative. β
The national teacher of Skanbuhe said with a smile: "It turns out that Tian Khan has such a deep vision, we are stupid, if we had known Tian Khan's good intentions, we would have fully cooperated, not foolishly opposed." β
This may seem like an admission of mistake, but in fact, if they had communicated with the Khan of the Twilight and the Witch of Dusk for their arbitrariness, would things have come to this point if they had communicated with them like this before making a decision?
As for how much he approved of this plan in his heart, it was another matter.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased somewhat, the Skanbukh national teacher changed his words and said: "Our actions at Lake Assen and the sacrificial plan are not contradictory, and even complement each other.
If we take the opportunity to launch an all-out offensive across the lake, we will give full play to our superiority in forces.
Let them not easily divide their troops, increasing the chance of successful sacrifice.
If they spend most of their energy on sacrifices, the chances of us taking the opportunity to cross the lake will be greatly increased. β
The implication is obvious, there are still doubts about this sacrificial plan, and everything is still dominated by their army.
"If Asen Lake is completely frozen, the advice of the national teacher is indeed a good strategy, but the so-called ice is obviously a trap now."
With a wave of her hand, a huge high-altitude bird's-eye view appeared in front of everyone, "Now there is only this short ten kilometers of snowfall on Asen Lake, if nothing else, there will only be these ten kilometers of ice tomorrow."
If you want to attack, you must concentrate your forces in this narrow area, you can send up to 100,000 troops to attack, if there are more, I am afraid that such a narrow area will not be able to withstand it.
Across the lake, there is a good chance that there is a hundred thousand Lytherman berserkers waiting for you, and do you think you can break through the resistance of the Lesselman berserkers with the same strength?
When Lake Assen is completely frozen, the best way for you to cross the lake is to make full use of your strength advantage and attack on multiple fronts, so that those Lythman berserkers will be depleted. β
Although she is suspicious of the origin of the Twilight Witch, she has to admit that her analysis is extremely reasonable.
These Tucan chiefs had a deep fear of Lake Assen, not only from the past encounters, but also because many of them had never seen such a vast expanse of water in their lives.
Many Tucans believe that if they die in the water, their souls will be trapped in the water, never to have a chance to return to immortality.
Therefore, they were not willing to fight the Lyssermans on a large scale on the lake.
It would be wisest to go around and attack from either side or behind them.
Those Tucan chieftains showed a look of interest, but it was the Yamen Khan who reversed his previous attitude and said with a serious expression: "Batumih. β
"Yes." The majestic General Tukan, dressed in Far Eastern bright armor, bounced up vigorously from his seat, and arrived at the center of the field with one arrow step.
At the sound of this name, all the Toucan chiefs were startled and couldn't help but sit up straight.
Because this is the number one general under the account of Yamen Khan, the vanguard army that cannot be beaten.
When he was named, it meant that Yamen Khan was about to take action.
"You lead 30,000 elites, select 70,000 capable war slave soldiers, form a left vanguard army, and stand by at any time."
"Yes."
"ΕrΕitev."
"Yes."
"You are responsible for forming the Right Vanguard Army."
"Yes."
"The remaining chiefs are all on standby, ready to act at my command."
"Yes."
All the Tucan chieftains rose up at the same time, and although they did not understand the reason for the 180 major changes in Yamen Khan's attitude, it was wisest to obey orders honestly.
It seems to have absorbed the lesson of the last time, this time Yamen Khan added a rare explanation after arranging the troops: "The other party is now proficient in the use of dream power, I don't guarantee that they will use their hands and feet on this, trying to stop the progress of the sacrifice, we must contain their dream power." β
For the uniqueness and power of the totem dream, Yamen Khan's understanding is far above that of others, so he naturally attaches more importance to it.
Others praised it and did not raise any objections.
This kind of strategic and tactical game is not about who is smarter, but who is the first to make mistakes.
Although at Gavin's suggestion, the Water Spirit Witch took the initiative to cast a huge ice bridge ten kilometers wide on the top of Asen Lake, with a thickness of more than eighty centimeters on the ice surface, and a layer of snow thirty centimeters thick on it, enough for 100,000 Tucan cavalry to gallop on it.
But the Tucans were only preparing for war, and two armies of 100,000 slaves were driven up, but they did not have the intention of stepping on the ice.
They were waiting, waiting for the sacrifices of the other three routes, waiting for the reaction of the Lesserman Kingdom.
The Lythmans did not react, and many of the Lessermen along the way could not bear it anymore and took the initiative to emerge from their hideouts and attack the Tucan army that was escorting the Lessermans captives, trying to free the Lesserman captives from their hands.
As a result, it is conceivable that this reckless behavior not only failed to rescue the victims, but instead put many people into it, making the sacrificial captives even stronger.
Those dark witches used their actual actions to show their understanding of the Lesserman kingdom and their unique ability to restrain totem spirits.
"Kill!"
With the Dark Witch's order, hundreds of Toucan scimitars were raised and fell at the same time, and hundreds of Lytherman's heads rose into the sky, red blood spurting for several meters.
It's just that the blood didn't fall to the ground, but was absorbed by the strange magic circles around them, soaking it into blood red, and then an even more powerful suction force was generated, pulling out black shadows from their bodies.
"Traitors, you Lethman's traitors, after you die, your souls will not be able to enter the land of totems, and you will never be able to find peace."
"I curse you, and curse you that you shall not die well."
"The witch will not let you go, and will definitely avenge us by killing you evil witches."
Both the living Lyssermen and the Lesserman souls whose souls had been forcibly removed from their corpses were all cursing angrily.
The targets of their curses were not the Tucans who had slain them, but the Dark Witches.
In their eyes, the Dark Witches are more hateful than the Tucans, and if they still have the ability to resist, they will be the first to kill these evil betrayers.
But it is a pity that those who are still alive have long been tortured and bruised, and they are dressed in a string with ropes like grasshoppers, and if they move a little, they will be swordsman, and those Tukan people have no mercy at all, and they are hacked to death on the spot.
And those souls who were dragged out of their bodies were directly under the control of those dark witches, and they couldn't even break out of the magic circle.
Unaffected by the Lythmans' scolding, those dark witches were concentrating on manipulating the circle and channeling the negative energy.
Countless shadow forces converged from all directions, infusing them into the furious souls, making them even more irritable and furious.
From hating those dark witches at the beginning, to hating the injustice of this world, hating those Lythman witches for ignoring them, and those Lytheman people for not saving them, until they hated everything in this world.
These Dark Witches are the best at wielding the power of shadows, and in the blink of an eye, they have turned hundreds of souls who were loyal to the Kingdom of Lesserman into deadly swords in their hands.
When they transformed into a mass of furious souls, a gap was artificially opened in the circle.
These furious souls suddenly found their way forward, and they poured over in a steady stream.
They were like pioneers, and the shadow power gathered by the dark circle followed them like a shadow, easily injecting into the totem land opposite.
Roar!
A dull roar of anger emanated from the Totem Lands.
The mountains seemed to rumble and tremble, and the sight began to disillusion, one moment a complete mountain, the next it became a valley between two mountains.
"Traitor, you are blaspheming, blaspheming your ancestors, blaspheming your soul, you don't have to die well."
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you."
"Bastards, you bastards!"
When the Lysserman captives saw this, their angry hair stood on end, and men, women, and children, all of them couldn't help but jump up from the ground, wanting to rush up and intercept them, and they wanted to eat the dark witch alive.
The result was only punches and kicks from the Toucan guards, and the heavy back of the knife slashed directly into their knees, causing them to fall back to their knees.
In the time of this delay, the dark witches had already completed their sacrifice.
In a mad roar, an earthy yellow giant phantom was dragged out of the totem land by those furious souls.
This earthy yellow phantom is a Lyseman totem spirit, called the Earth Spirit Totem, which is revered by the Lyssermen as a mountain god or earth god, most of them appear in the mountains, and it is a more common totem spirit in the Lysserman Kingdom.
No, to be more precise, those furious souls have been embedded in the earth spirit totem, but there is still a part of their bodies left outside, and the real absorption and withdrawal power comes from the dark circle manipulated by the dark witches.
This is no longer just the use of the dark circle, but also the full use of the close relationship between the Lytheman and the totemic spirits.
After the death of those Lythmans, their souls did not go to the Shadow Underworld, waiting for the gods to receive or punish them, but to the nearest totem land, where they were kept by the totemic spirits, or absorbed the power of faith and transformed into new ancestral spirit totems, or reincarnated among the Lythems.
This is the reason why those Lythermans do not want the gods to settle in, their life and death are already self-contained, and the intervention of the gods faith will only break this cycle.
These furious souls controlled by the shadow power naturally turned into poisonous arrows and spears that actively shot at those totemic spirits, fished them out of their hiding places, and dragged them into the dark circle, infusing venom (shadow power) into their bodies.
Soon, the earth spirit totem was dragged into the dark circle.
The earth spirit totem was unwilling to be controlled like this, and the earth and stones under it began to pile up on its body, and soon a colossus with a rough outline appeared in front of everyone.
It is seventeen or eight meters tall, with unusually thick legs and arms, and its body and head are not completely separated, as if its facial features grow directly on its chest, and its whole body is made of rocks.
It's just that the land from which it extracts earth and stone has been defiled.
The headless corpses and heads of the Lythermans, inlaid in a mess, made it look horrible and terrifying.
With them as the center, shadows and black mist were constantly creeping up, even those earth and stones were dyed black, and it didn't take long for these blacks to become one, and the light flickering at the pupil position was no longer earthy yellow, but impregnated red.
At this time, the earth spirit totem regained his composure, and stood obediently beside the dark witches, like a deformed servant.
After the Earth Spirit Totem was manipulated, the Totem Land behind it was completely shattered, revealing its true landform, a valley sandwiched between two mountains.
This is the most unique part of the Lesseman Kingdom, many places are covered by this kind of totemic land, even those who are not familiar with the local situation are not allowed to enter, let alone the Toucan outsiders.
"Attack!" The Captain Tukan at the head gave an excited order, and rushed into the valley with thousands of Tucan Elite Riders who had already been ready.
Soon the sound of fierce fighting came, and the sky-high fire reflected the valley red.
These totemic lands either guard the main road, or they guard a village or shelter.
This totemic land is both.
Not only is it a shortcut through the two mountains, but it is also a Lethman's village.
By the time the Lythman captives were driven through here, the once peaceful, isolated village had become a living purgatory.
The tents had been looted and burned.
Many Lythmans were tragically ravaged by the Tucans.
The cattle and sheep raised by the Lessermen had been slaughtered and became the new sustenance of the Tukan army.
Behind the butts of those Tucan cavalrymen, there were all sorts of Lethman's trophies.
No less than three hundred Lythermans were taken prisoner, and after making up for the previous dark sacrifices, there was still a remnant.
The same situation was played out in the three sacrificial processions.
Led by the Dark Witch, who is familiar with the circumstances of the kingdom of Lesserman, the Tucans bring their ferocity to life.
The only thing to be thankful for is that their main purpose is to hurry, and they will only corrupt and sweep the Totem Lands and Lythmannian villages that stand in their way, and they will not search the mountains and wilderness.
Even so, it still had a serious impact on the Lessermans, and many of the Lesserman tribes hidden in the mountains began to retreat deeper into the depths.
"All the enemies have entered the enveloping range of the totem fruit and started to move." Gavin's figure appeared directly above the sunrise volcano.
Compared to the other three broader goals, Sunrise Volcano is very clear.
It is located to the south of Lessermanburg and is already relatively close to the Kingdom of Serre.
The Lyseman captives escorted by the Tucans were not brought from Imirma, but were collected directly by the Toucan South Army stationed at Lyselmanburg, and then began to climb the mountain from the west.
Therefore, the first half of them is still relatively easy to walk, and the really difficult thing is the second half, the sunrise volcano climb.
It was a standard round volcano, and the trail was rugged, especially for the Leesserman captives, who were tied together with ropes and their hands severely restricted.
Under the persecution of the Tukan people, they moved up little by little, and after only half of the climb, everyone was already wounded, and the dead exceeded hundreds, some fell to their deaths, and some were cut down by those Tukan people who were too burdensome to kill.
Chirp!
With a loud roar, the Red Feather Witch once again transformed into a super-giant phoenix and flew down towards the sunrise volcano.
"Akabane, I've been waiting for you for a long time." A voice of madness came from the shadows of the crater.
A black behemoth burst out of it and rushed towards the Red Feather Witch.
Its size is not much more than that of the Red Feather Phoenix, showing a dragon shape, but compared to most dragons, its body is more slender and slender, especially the neck, like a snake, just born with a pair of black dragon horns, the scales of the whole body are dark, and the dragon wings are even more translucent, as if they are completely composed of shadows, and when it flies quickly, it drags out a long black mist.
Shadow Dragon.
A shadow dragon transformed from a black dragon that is at least older than the ancients.
Unlike the Shadow Dragon, the Shadow Dragon is not an undead creature, but a living creature with a unique state.
This dragon forms in two ways.
One is natural fertility, which is living beings, who are able to grow and give birth.
The other is the reshaping of the shadow, if a giant dragon builds its lair to the shadow plane, or its own nest is invaded by the shadow plane and sleeps in an environment rich in shadow energy for a long time, their body will slowly turn into a shadow dragon that is very closely connected with the shadow plane.
The shadow dragon in front of him, what kind of situation it is, is unknown, but he and the Red Feather Witch are obviously old acquaintances, and as soon as they met, they gave the biggest meeting gift - Shadow Dragon Breath.
The energy shock wave formed by the highly condensed negative energy swept wildly towards the Red Feather Phoenix in the form of rays.
"Dussan, you're going to pay for your madness." The Red Feather Witch roared angrily as she attacked back, the flames on her body condensed wildly, and with the flapping of her wings, a huge wave of fire formed collided with the Shadow Dragon's Breath. (End of chapter)
