Chapter 203: Temptation

"Don't worry. Midi suddenly said in a voice, "There are too many scarab beetles needed to manipulate a puppet of this size, even if it is a famous nightmare hand, I am afraid that it will not be able to play these big guys." ”

This sentence is calming the morale of the army, but it is also a fact.

Necromancers are the best at manipulating armies, but because their bodies are so large, they require an unusually large amount of scarab beetle and energy.

If it's a processed and processed puppet, it's fine, but the dozen or so in front of him are obviously the ones that Wiseman just subdued, and the magic power will definitely not be less. The reason why I deliberately stayed here was to scare Midi and see if I could find some opportunities, how could Midi show any flaws?

was the key pointed, Wiseman was not annoyed, but still said lightly: "The eyesight is good, I came here just to expand the armament, and I have no intention of going to war with you for the time being, why don't you take a step back on both sides, how about it?"

It's rare for the Nightmare Hand to back down instead of attacking frantically, but that's not surprising, it's because Sky City's environment is special.

There is one problem that any general force will encounter after entering the Three Towers Tree Sea at the beginning, and that is the lack of manpower. Although the essence magic power can provide professionals with an extraordinary amount of power, it will brush down at least seventy percent of people.

Even if it is a team composed of high-level adventurers like the Falcon Regiment, there will only be four adults at most who have the ability to withstand the baptism of essence magic.

As for the empire dominated by the regular army, not to mention, the regular army mainly relies on sophisticated equipment, iron discipline, strict formations and huge numbers to win, and the level of individual soldiers can be said to be the lowest among all kinds of groups, and at least eighty and a half of them will be sifted out by such a card of essence magic.

No matter how powerful the foundation of the Delos Empire is, no matter how terrifying Wiseman's unreasonable necromancy is, if you want to gain a foothold in the Three Towers Tree Sea, I am afraid it will take a while.

If you agree to Wiseman's request, then at least you can avoid this useless battle, after all, Midi's side can be said to be unprepared, but Wiseman has a certain amount of preparation, and he has fished out a group of undead giant puppets in a hurry, compared to Midi, Midi is at a disadvantage.

However, Midi had no intention of backing down.

Because the other party is likely to be tempting by doing this, once they choose to accept it, they will fall into the rhythm of the nightmare hand, and then they will become extremely passive.

Therefore, even if it is a hasty battle, Midi does not intend to make any concessions, on the contrary, he has to show extreme self-confidence.

With a sneer, Midi raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "What does Lord Wiseman mean, do you want to wait until your undead army is formed before going to war?" I'm sorry, instead of facing the undead puppets that have been dealt with, I might as well annihilate these newborn big guys on the spot, anyway, the object that was originally meant to be killed, it is not impossible to kill it again after you kill it." ”

"Oh?" Wiseman's eyes narrowed, "I thought you kid had traveled so far for this gilded valley, did you want to annihilate the elemental giants?"

Midi's heart shook slightly.

This seemingly casual and cynical nightmare hand is really testing his purpose, testing why he wants to invade the Gilded Valley.

Otherwise, Wiseman may have even been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of his army, otherwise, he would have already arrived after only a moment of war for what to do, and he would still have time to sneak attack these elemental giants?

In this way, the correspondence needs to be more cautious.

At least, it can't be fought directly, otherwise it can easily be regarded as trying to cover up, and the result is that the Delos Empire believes that there is an abnormality in the Gilded Valley and invests a lot of troops to fight for it.

At that point, how can we mine the empty stone? Even if it is mined, I am afraid that it will be discovered by Wiseman, and then according to the characteristics of this stone, he will deduce some of his own purposes.

A way must be found to repel Wiseman, and at the same time, not to keep him from paying attention to the Gilded Valley.

Thinking of this, Midi sneered and said: "Why ask knowingly here, the Gilded Valley has a large number of high-quality mineral deposits, of course Belmar is determined to get it, not only that, but I also want to get all of the other resource lands, Mr. Wiseman, if you want to stop me, come and try it." ”

"Of course I'll try. Wiseman nodded thoughtfully.

"But before you can do that, you'll have to escape from the Gilded Valley first!" Midi's gaze turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, the elven archers who had been ready for a long time immediately shot tricky sniper arrows from the vantage heights.

At the same time, the dragon army also moved, and the four columns were deployed separately, and they met up with the hollow formation that was most suitable for the oversized enemy in the camp!

"Then try it. Wiseman smiled, and the staff in his hand was also a finger.

The next moment, the undead giant puppets let out a terrible and shrill roar, turned around, and began to ...... without hesitation Run away.

Midi didn't manage to keep Wiseman after all.

The environment of the Gilded Valley was not suitable for a pursuit battle, not to mention, Wiseman was really determined to escape.

Regardless of any losses, he directly let the undead giants stride away, as soon as these big men stepped out, it was a distance of tens of meters, how could these "little short legs" of dragons and elves catch up?

Even Midi, who constantly uses the "Ghost Flash", can only stop an undead giant at most.

At the end of the day, when Wiseman escaped from the narrow exit at the other end of the Gilded Valley, he left behind the three undead giants and directly blocked the exit.

Although these undead giants have just matured, their movements are sluggish and inflexible, and their lethality is extremely weak, but they are very qualified as meat shields.

You must know that the undead themselves have the characteristics of immortality and regeneration, and the behemoth of the undead giant has brought these two characteristics to the extreme. Moreover, the dragon army only had Yuan Magnetic Arrows in their hands, and they did not carry Flame Arrows, Explosive Arrows, Rotten Bone Arrows, etc., so they still felt a little helpless when facing these undead.

In the end, under the main attack of Midi's Flame Burst Fluctuation Sword, the dragon army finally put the three undead giants in place, but by this time, Wiseman had already run away.

This necromancer drove a group of undead giants directly away like a sheep, looking at his unscrupulous appearance of waving his hands while laughing loudly, even Tannius, who had the hottest temper, also had a feeling of detachment, and as for Sigmund and Lilian and others, who knew the terrible "Nightmare Hand", they were secretly relieved.

But Midi knew that the real battle had just begun.

As soon as he returned to the Wings of Thunder and Fire clan, he immediately adjusted his overall strategy.

Originally, Midi's strategy was very straightforward - to seize all the empty stone sources, and at the same time defend the conveyor line of the rift, and then bury himself in the mass production of two-seater airships.

But now, now that the Delos Empire has adapted to the environment of the Three Towers Tree Sea in a short period of time, and Wiseman is eyeing himself again, the only way to do it is to throw a large number of smoke bombs.

In other words, Midi was to attack all the places where there were rich veins.

Only by doing so can the purpose of occupying the Gilded Valley in the first place be concealed, and make the Empire think that Belmar wants minerals, not empty stone, otherwise, once the Empire pays attention to this unique specialty of Sky City, I am afraid it will be easy to guess Midi's purpose.

After all, Midi is only because of the advantage of rebirth, so he seized the opportunity as soon as he came up, and it is not difficult to conceive of such a thing as an airship, in the previous life, someone made an invention attempt a year after the appearance of Sky City, and there are definitely many smart people in the empire, how dare Midi hold it up?

As for the occupation of the Kuakashi origin after the all-out attack, it can only be handed over to the elite team to carry out.

Fortunately, Wiseman's Hundred Ghost Night Walk was not strong enough to be invincible, and the elite squad led by Tanius and Sigmund was even more powerful than expected, and although most of Midi's forces had to be invested in the battle to create smoke bombs, the production of Sky Akashi continued to increase, and the development of airships on Deep Rock Island was progressing faster than expected.

The situation was stable, and Midi was also able to breathe a sigh of relief, since his own purpose had been successfully concealed, the next step was naturally to find a way to understand the enemy's movements.

Build an army of the undead?

Looking at the thick stack of battle reports on the table, and scanning the details sent by the scouts, Midi patiently speculated.

While Midi was aggressively occupying the veins and secretly transporting the empty stone, Wiseman's side was naturally not idle. Relying on the support of the Imperial Alchemist Guild, he led a group of high-level necromancers and began a snowballing sweep.

With the support of the Hyakki Nocturnal, all other kinds of elemental giants are almost defenseless except for the Flame Giants. All they could do was roar in rage, allowing scarab beetle after scarab beetle to burrow into their shells and devour their souls, turning them into mindless puppets of the necromancer.

Soon, the empire built up an army of undead giants in a short period of time, and it grew bigger and bigger.

Not only that, but Wiseman was clearly no longer satisfied with the giants, and he even opened up the battlefield to the territory of the humanoid division, and began to try to transform these extremely nimble little things into one of his own command.

If it is left unchecked, according to Midi's inference, after the airship is put into mass production, there will only be two forces left in the entire Three Towers Tree Sea - the living power of the Belmar Kingdom, and the dead power of the Delos Empire.

Rely on the power of the necromancer to turn the Three Towers into a land of death, and then use the army of the undead to completely occupy the entire Sky City?

Is this Wiseman's strategy?

Midi pondered quietly.

As it stands, this is true, but her gut tells Midi that there must be something wrong with it.
