Section 231 Ambition

Ashruphat was silent for a moment. The conditions proposed by this Chaos wizard are unimaginably good, so that anyone can't help but think in the direction of "this is a trap".

"I heard that the commander of your army ...... this time"

"It's called Bloody Fang, it's a terrifying subordinate. Marven said without mind. "Like all sadistic subordinates, there are far more muscles than brains. But you have to admit that scheming on the battlefield doesn't always lead to violence. Sometimes, a simple fear of death can turn decay into magic...... The so-called indiscriminate punching to kill the master. ”

"Why did he become a general?"

"Because he occupies the White Castle. Marven replied. "The Bloody Fang Lord has fought a series of bloody melee battles and has established his control over the White Castle. Because of this, he was rewarded by the gods and became a general. Of course, even if the gods don't support it, he is a bend that he can't get around, because his territory is in the most critical position. ”

During this time, Ashrufar had learned about the situation on the front line in many ways, mainly with Beller and the church. Now he has an understanding of the situation on the front line. So he was sure that Marven's words were true.

Ashrufat stopped talking, but looked carefully at the apparition in front of him. Marven noticed that the other party was not looking at him, but at the corpse on the ground. He soon realized that Ashruphat was probing the magic of this super-distant projection.

"I didn't expect Lord Eshurufat to be quite advanced in his research on magic. Marven said meaningfully. Humans are not the kind of race that can master the wind of magic without a teacher, and in fact, it is quite difficult for humans to master magic. Although the Church of the Gods of the Star Domain vigorously promotes magic education, and even shouts the slogan "Everyone can become a magician", in fact, there are really not many people who can be regarded as magicians.

No one learns magic by instinct or talent, so there must be a lineage. According to Marven's information, although the man named Ashrufat may be a magician (of course, it is not just "possible" after seeing it with his own eyes), and his magical knowledge and inheritance do not seem to come from the church.

There are only a handful of sources of human magical knowledge. If this Ashruphat didn't learn magic from the church, then ...... Is it from the Chaos side? If it were a member of the church, he would not have been able to discern the composition of this magic just now. But Ashrufat quickly saw it.

Marven's heart was swirling with this thought, but he was silent on the surface. In addition to this, he remembered the news that one of the servants had brought him before—that this Ashrufat was a realist, and that his religious beliefs (if he had any) were extremely weak. Since the servant was dead, he couldn't be sure if the news was true or not, but it could be used as a reference. This Ashrufat, it seems, has a lot of ...... Chaos's knowledge of magic, although it seems that his magic skills are not too high.

"It's subtle, it's ingenious. Ashruphat said, turning his gaze back to Marven.

"Insignificant. Marven replied modestly.

"Then again, the winds of magic flow impermanently, how do you know that what you need today? If it's when the winds of magic are raging...... I believe you won't be able to sustain this spell for long. ”

"All of them are blinded by the foresight of the deceitful lord. Marven replied. "Tonight is a special choice. ”

"Okay, let's get back to business. Ashrufat said. "I don't believe in such good luck in the world, and I don't believe in your gods...... That Tzeentch is saying everywhere that he's good at intrigues. ”

"My lord," Marven kept smiling. "As I said, it's all about intent. As long as you want to, you can come up with plans that are absolutely safe for you. We can discuss all of this, can't we? We'll show our sincerity with our actions. ”

"This sincerity of yours makes me even more suspicious. Ashrufat said.

"Of course we have a small request. Marven said humbly. "After putting an end to this stupid war, I hope to get a little bit of acquiescence within your purview. ”

"Acquiescence?"

"Of course, in no way refers to those actions that are harmful or illegal. We hope to be able to ...... Missionary activities within your control. Of course, if there is a conflict with the church, I will never make it difficult for you. ”

"......," Aerufat stared at the other man, "No, I don't believe you. ”

"This ...... You don't have to answer right away. Marven's attitude was still so good, even if Ashrufat refused, he was not moved. "You can have plenty of time to weigh the pros and cons. I will patiently wait for you to make a final decision. ”

With these words, Marven's illusory body condensed by magic suddenly collapsed, turning into countless points of light and scattering. After a few seconds, the surroundings fell silent. In front of Ashrufat, there was only a corpse, a torch that had been extinguished.

Far away, Marven exhaled a long breath and recovered from the previous state of loss of mind that had used magic before. The magic was not as simple as it seemed, as it was clear that it had drained the wizard lord's energy, leaving him pale, embarrassed, and sweating profusely.

Actually, Marven is pretty good. Around him, the other Chaos wizards looked even more wolfish and in worse shape. A few simply fell to the ground unconscious.

The messenger sent by the Lord of the Bloodfang is gone. There are no outsiders here.

"Master, what's the situation?" Marven's closest servant immediately brought him a towel and hot water. He wiped his sweat and drank something. As for the other Chaos Wizards, they have their own subordinates to deal with. There was a momentary chaos all around.

"At least they're all connected. Marven replied. As he answered, someone let out an exclamation. That's when they noticed that a Chaos wizard had stopped breathing at some point.

"Sure enough...... This magic is still very dangerous. Marven said softly to himself. It is not easy to cross a long distance of space and put your will into a distant place, even if it is just to communicate with each other.

"Master, why do you take such a risk?" said the cronies. "If we go all out and use magic to assist in the battle, it won't take much time to storm the city. And your position is also above the Bloodfang Lord, as long as you are willing to reveal your true identity, then you can usurp the command at any time......"

Marven chuckled and didn't bother to refute the shallow and ridiculous remarks of his cronies. Tzeentch gave him the task of not winning this invasion, but on the one hand, to penetrate the forces of chaos deep into the southern realm, and on the other hand, not to allow the forces of the other three gods to come here.

The power of the heavy blow Gruni was able to accomplish the first objective, but it was incompatible with the second objective. Because in this way, Tzeentch will never be able to turn this land into his own forbidden territory. Even if you gain momentum for a while, it won't last long.

In addition, the outcome on the battlefield is unpredictable. Over the long years, Chaos has been defeated by these southerners countless times. These southerners had fortified stone castles with steel, magic, and guns. If you want to achieve a decisive victory on the battlefield, even Marven doesn't dare to say that he is somewhat sure. Compared to the unknowable victory, this magic is much simpler, at least under his control.

However, at least he has succeeded in controlling the situation.

Marven had already settled down and sorted out the various situations he had mastered in his mind.

The siege of the Bloodfang Lord was clearly going on - the sadistic believers were utterly insane, weeping without seeing the coffin, and had no interest in conceiving long-term, well-thought-out plans. But as long as Marvin and his men remain sluggish, it is believed that it will take time for them to break the city. They will be good pawns for Marvin.

The Bloodfang Lord had no idea what was behind this invasion. He only had the concept of "glorifying the god of blood" in his head, and war for him was all about chopping and slashing and killing.

That guy from Rogin has gone deep into enemy territory. Marven believed that the Nurgle wizard would be able to find a suitable object, and sooner or later he would perfect his magic. But he also believed that it would take a lot of time—even in the territory of the southerners, it was difficult to find a suitable object. Rogin would waste most of his time on the journey of searching. And because he took away the Chaos Egg of Horror as a guard, Marven has reason to think that even if Luo Jin completes his research, it is impossible for him to come back directly to find the Bloodfang Lord. Because the Bloodfang Lord would never allow his pet to be subdued by someone else.

A chaotic egg allowed Marven to successfully completely separate the forces of terror and Nurgle, so that they could no longer be combined and pose a threat to themselves. In addition to this, he also arranged a secret hand on the Chaos Egg - a simple and hidden secret hand. Rogin, that idiot, couldn't find out.

If Marven's plan succeeds, then he will find a way to tell the southerners of Rogin's position, which is the location of the Chaos Egg. The southerners (especially the Church) must have been more than happy to wipe out the Nurgle. Conversely, if the Southerners refuse, then Marven summons Rogin back, and Nurgle's twisted and strange magic becomes an important aid to the war.

It's a pity that the assassination attempt in Eagle Falcon City failed. Otherwise, whether it is the Ashruphat or the little queen, the pressure will be even greater, and the attitude will definitely be greatly eased.

However, this aspect may be his luxury. In any case, Eagle City is also a stronghold of the Church of the Gods of the Star Field, and it is difficult to infiltrate people there. Without elite and reliable forces, it is not easy to assassinate a closely protected subject.

He sighed slightly, pulling his thoughts back to reality. The night's siege seemed to be over. Even sadistic maniacs feel that today's battle is enough. The shouts of killing, gunfire, and artillery in the distance gradually subsided.

If the Little Queen or Eshurufat agrees to his request, then he will borrow the hands of the Southerners to take out Rogin, the wizard of Nurgle, and then strike back at the critical moment to take out the Bloodfang Lord and all the other Chaos forces. In this way, all the chaotic forces except Tzeentch are blocked from the border by the southerners, while Tzeentch's followers can slowly develop their power here with peace of mind and peace.

If they refuse, then he continues to assist the Bloodfang Lord, slowly increasing the pressure until the other party submits.

If they are not willing to compromise no matter what, then Marven ...... A smile crossed his face at the thought of this. For this moment, he has been preparing for a long time, taking military power from the hands of the Blood Fang Lord (he doesn't think that the Blood Fang Lord's brain can conquer this land), and then using force to solve these people who are dead and unwilling to compromise, and by the way, using the command power to consume the power of other evil gods, it's just the same as in the record. He arranged a lot of cards, lots and lots of them. Some of them were accumulated over a long period of time, and some of them were improvised by taking advantage of the favorable time in Gruny's country. Marven was pretty sure that it was almost impossible for him to really rely on war to decide a qiē. A lot of things, before the start of the official battle, there were already results.
