Section 177 Introduction

Although it has been many years since she became the queen, this is indeed the first time that the little girl has spoken face-to-face with the high priest of Eagle Falcon City. In fact, this was the first time that a priest of the Church had taken the initiative to see the Queen. As it is known, in the previous days of Byron's reign, the little queen was equated with a humanoid stamp. It's normal to meet in public places such as religious ceremonies, but it's never been the case that we've had a private conversation in the same room like this.

The priest was a middle-aged man with a featureless appearance, with a square face, and at first glance it was indistinguishable from the roadside barbecue vendors. At this moment, the priest's face was furrowed with worry.

"Sure enough...... Is that so?"

"According to the intelligence, it should be so. This attack of the cultists of the evil gods...... By no means a purposeless attack, but a truly large-scale invasion. It is a prepared, premeditated, purposeful all-out war. ”

The Church has much more at its disposal than the Little Queen. On the one hand, this is because the church has long been aware of the movement on the northern border, and has also sent a lot of manpower to join in.

At least the church has figured out what happened to Rafa, or what happened to Rafa during this time. In the south, Byron staged a coup d'état, and then fought with the little queen with swords, and the Cold War and the Hot War spy war were in full swing. In the north, Rafa, one of the qualifying deer chasers, was silent - even a fool could see that something was wrong.

The matter is very simple and not simple: the followers of the evil god infiltrated Rafah. These cultists used their magic to confuse the veteran and several of his main subordinates, leaving him confused and distracted. According to the High Priest, General Rafa is a man of strong mind, otherwise he would have been reduced to a puppet to be manipulated by others. Eventually, when the cult armies began to invade in earnest, the priests of the Church finally managed to meet Rafa—an effort that the sorcerers who tried to control Rafa gave up. Of course, this time is already too late.

Undoubtedly, for these people, the best outcome is the manipulation of the control zhì Rafa. Although they did not achieve the most desirable goal, they did succeed in making the northern defenses of Gruni sluggish and weak, and the various forces fought in their own way, overwhelmingly inferior to the invaders. In the end, it had to be relied on to rely on the fortified city defense.

Actually, it's okay to be alone. Before the barbarian invasion, it was not news that all kinds of evil witchcraft were used to influence lords or generals. Although Rafa is the highest-ranking general who has been affected so far, the matter itself has not yet reached the point of being out of control.

To the north of Gruny, there are at least three lines of defense, a line of steel, magic, guns, and a cold, fortified castle. Although the first line of defense, and the strongest and most front-line White Fort, has been occupied by Chaos and has become a frontline base for the invasion of Chaos forces, it is still very difficult to break through the remaining two lines of defense. Fortified walls and towering fortresses protect the southern kingdom from barbarian invasions. Storming these castles and opening gaps in the defensive line will either cost you huge casualties or consume enough time. And both of these are the weaknesses of the invaders. Heavy casualties would make their next invasion weak, and time allowed the southerners who believed in the gods of the star field to form a powerful coalition to fight back.

The last invasion was a case in point. During the last invasion, the cultists captured the White Keep and killed King Grunisian on the battlefield. However, they wasted too much time trying to breach the defenses, allowing the Seven Nations to form a powerful coalition and defeat the invaders with superior forces.

In other words, as long as those Chaos wizards didn't get Rafa to turn against him, the whole situation wouldn't be worse than the last invasion. And if Rafa can be allowed to turn against him, it will be beyond the ability of a few evil gods and wizards. Even if Rafa were to be charged with doing so, his men would not listen.

But this time, in addition to using the evil magic to control the zhì Rafa, the invading evil god army also has a special move, a real special move.

“...... That rumor...... Is it true?" asked the little girl.

"It's incredible, but it's true. The priest answered. "Followers of evil gods have mastered a defilementous evil power capable of spreading disease for a short period of time. These illnesses were initially induced by magic, but they quickly moved out of the realm of 'magic' and became real diseases. The only solution at the moment is to exorcise it with magic while it is still in a 'magical' state. But it's not very efficient. A single magician can't drive out a hundred people in a day. Once the magic curse turns into a real disease...... That can only be treated with ordinary treatments. ”

"How's it going? I mean the power of that sorcery?"

"It's scary. Disease alone is not a dangerous and fatal terminal illness in itself, but when the disease and the enemy army are combined...... It's going to get out of hand. There have already been examples of a small castle being captured. The castle was small, but it was a fortified fortress that survived the last great invasion. And this time, it didn't even survive the cultists' vanguard troops. According to the information received, it was a complete one-sided massacre. The enemy easily climbed the wall with hooks, and then slaughtered the defenders who were unable to move due to fever. ”

The High Priest sighed. "I have reported this situation to the Holy City of Oron, but the Archbishop...... There has been no response yet. I'm afraid there will be no way to solve this problem for a while. ”

"I would like to ask, if it is one of the big cities or castles...... What will happen?"

"We must use the Demon Breaker Scroll to expel the magic effect. The High Priest smiled, his smile a little stiff. "According to the current preliminary estimates, it should only take a day or two for the enemy to launch a curse. In other words, each Demon Breaker Scroll can buy a day or two. Wait until the Demon Breaker Scroll runs out, then the situation ...... This is just an estimate. ”

......

"This is a violation of our agreement!" Rogin's anger was almost uncontrollable as he spoke. Just a little, just a little. Such a perfect reality was destroyed all at once. "Sagas, you said the Bloodfang Lord would wait for me!"

"I didn't say that, I just said I'd try to get my time. The Tzeentch Wizards standing on the saucer carefully kept their distance from each other. "But it was clear that I didn't have enough time. ”

"The war has begun, and I ......"

"The Bloodfang Lord can't wait. Sagas twisted his beard with his hand. "His thirst for blood was beyond his caution. Well, I'll admit that sadistic believers probably don't even know how to write the word prudence...... But anyway, the war has already begun, and now you don't have time to continue experimenting. ”

"I only need three days...... Originally, this was the best place to test. And then those sadistic madmen killed all my real materials!" Rogin's face swelled with rage, and dark green liquid dripped from the corners of his clothes. "You sued those crazy people that I'm here, right?"

"You're mistaken......" The saucer at Sagas's feet stepped back a short distance. "It wasn't my intention, but the Bloodfang Lord is our boss, and I can't resist his orders. He asked me where you are, what are you doing, what do you tell me to do, and I can't lie, which is against my principles. ”

The fact that a Tzeentch wizard says he doesn't lie is as ridiculous as a wolf announcing that he grew up a vegetarian. But at the moment, Luo Jin is helpless. If given the chance, he would be more than happy to turn Sagas into a mass of pus-filled flesh, the problem is to find a loophole for Tzeentch - any Tzeentch wizard...... There really aren't many opportunities like that. At least not at the moment.

"I have a Jianyì, do you want to hear it. Tzeentch said.

Tzeentch's construction has never been good, but at the moment, Luo Jin has no other choice, just listen to it.

"By my command, you'd better teach the Bloodfang Lord a lesson and let them know that your power is indispensable. For those sadistic madmen, otherwise they would have broken their heads, and it is estimated that they would not wake up to this. You see, if you help them fight with new spells now...... It will only make them triumphant and even more unsightly. ”

"Hmph, it's not like you're threading the needle in the middle!"

"Ah, you misunderstood me. Sagas said calmly. "As I said, I'm just fulfilling the Order of the Bloodfang Lord. If you're going to get angry, you're looking for the wrong person to get angry. ”

"During this time, I have been working hard to research and experiment in big cities and small villages. Now when I'm only one step away from success, I'm interrupted by you......"

"Oh, you don't have to be so angry, I'm sure you'll have a lot of chances. ”

"At the beginning of the war, there were not many opportunities like this!, such a closed, crowded castle with no magicians to guard it...... Is there such a good goal?"

"This is true at the front...... But, dear Rokin, don't forget the jì...... There are many such opportunities within the enemy's homeland!"

"They're going to be on guard, how can I come and go as freely as I am now. Unless you give me your flying saucer!"

"Oh, I hope so, too. Sagas made an apologetic gesture. "But alas, it's beyond my ability. But I'd rather use a building yì instead. ”

"What is the building?" Luo Jin looked at the other party viciously. Unfortunately, Tzeentch's wizard was very tightly defended, and if both sides tore their faces and moved, then Sagas could at least get out of the way, if not win.

"How about a guard, a guard much stronger than those of your servants. Ah, I don't mean to insult me. Although Nurgle's warriors are strong, they are easy to be exposed when they are numerous, and they are not safe when they are few. ”

"Guards?" Rogin, simply furious. "You let me take a terrible madman deep into the enemy's territory to carry out my realization? ”

"Ah, you misunderstood. Sagas replied. "Of course the average can't. You need strong, loyal, obedient guards, especially guards who can sacrifice their lives in critical moments. Do you think there would be such a person under the Bloodfang Lords? They are all bloodthirsty creatures, and they think about glorifying their blood gods with blood every day. ”

"What do you mean?" Rogin initially thought that Sagas would recommend a team of Tzeentch, but from his tone, it didn't seem to mean that. "Absolutely faithful?"

"I can just recommend one. Sagas chuckled. "An infallible ...... And strong enough to defeat a thousand guards. In particular, it can ...... Definitely under your control. ”
