Chapter 478: Cold Sacrifice: Fluder's Action
Tang Zheng chatted with Lana for so long in order to use Princess Lana's wisdom to help him further clarify the vague situation in front of him.
The purpose of the Platinum Dragon King is unknown.
This made him a little uneasy!
Since the goal has been achieved, there is naturally no need to stay any longer.
Get up and prepare to leave.
"Mr. Tang."
Princess Lana stood up, placed her hands on her chest, and suddenly spoke:
"I think the reviewing country has more than just this purpose."
Tang Zheng paused and looked at Princess Lana's beautiful face again. His eyes moved slightly and he nodded to signal her to continue.
"……Maybe."
"The war between the Kingdom and the Empire is not only a test of the Silian Theocracy, but also a test of other unknown forces."
Speaking of the word "unknown", Princess Lana glanced at Tang Zheng:
"In fact, this is just attracting attention on the surface. There are other covert actions going on."
Tang Zheng's pupils narrowed slightly.
He suddenly realized that he had indeed focused too much attention on the battlefield between the Kingdom and the Empire!
…………
Three days passed in a flash.
Sheung Shui Month·January 31st!
On the battlefield at the border of the Katz Plain, the air was filled with a distinct smell of blood, and the reddish-brown earth became a little brighter after being stained with blood.
Broken arrows, spears, leather armor and other weapons were scattered in the center of the battlefield between the two sides.
Three days!
The Kingdom launched more than ten attacks, all of which were repelled by the Empire.
The entire left wing corps lost nearly 8,000 people, and the original number of casualties should have been much higher.
but.
The elite troops led by Renas and Gazef gathered the wounded from the battlefield and treated them with all their might. A total of approximately 2,200 people survived!
Kingdom headquarters.
“…‘Free will’”
Marquis Raeven looked at the casualty report in his hand, raised his hands and gently pressed his temples, his eyes filled with helplessness:
"I really don't know how to evaluate it. Is it considered helping or making things worse?"
The soldiers received effective treatment and survived the battlefield thanks to the "regeneration potion" that the Adventurer's Guild proactively sold.
Low price and excellent results!
Allow those soldiers whose injuries are not too serious to survive.
Marquis Raven has already investigated and found that this large amount of medicine was entirely produced by "free will".
The time of its appearance happened to coincide with the time when the kingdom was mobilizing troops!
Those stingy and greedy nobles were naturally unwilling to spend money on these ordinary soldiers, even if the price was as low as a few copper coins.
But the Empire also had a "Regeneration Potion"!
This is nature.
The Adventurer's Guild is a transnational organization. If the Kingdom's Adventurer's Guild can sell it, then the Empire's Adventurer's Guild can naturally do the same.
In contrast, in order to prevent unnecessary rebellion!
The nobles of the Kingdom could only hold their noses and spend money to buy "Regeneration Potion" from the Adventurer's Guild.
"Adventurers cannot interfere in wars between nations."
Marquis Raeven smiled and sighed softly, "But you're interfering in this way?"
"pity."
"Even an adamantite-level adventuring team can't affect that almighty dragon!"
He had heard a lot about the kingdom's second "Steel-Class" adventurer team. Its leader was a genius in alchemy, although they were adventurers from the kingdom.
But they are not stationed in the country, but are stationed in the hilly areas full of Asians all year round!
There are various rumors about this situation.
For example, the female demihuman in the adventurer team is the princess of a certain race in the hills, and she has invited Captain Tang to be her husband.
For example, there is suppression by the royal family... This is of course nonsense.
but.
"Free Will" and "Blue Rose" have clashed before, and since the leader, Lakyus, is a noble, it's not surprising that people speculate like this.
Shake your head!
Marquis Raven put the casualty report in his hand aside. These trivial matters could not affect the situation at all.
"Your Excellency the Marquis."
A middle-aged man in his 30s stood respectfully by the side. After seeing Marquis Raeven finish reading the report, he spoke respectfully:
"This is already the third day."
"A new offensive by the left wing corps is about to begin."
This middle-aged man was a member of the think tank led by Marquis Raven himself.
"call--"
After a long exhale, Marquis Raeven's expression turned serious, and he muttered to himself:
"These casualties are enough to serve as bargaining chips."
"Once the offensive is over, order Gazef and Renas to meet with His Excellency the Azure Dragon King with me."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Marquis." The middle-aged man bowed respectfully.
The reason for the continuous attack and even waiting for three days is that sufficient casualties are required.
That’s right!
It's very cruel, but it has to be done this way.
The Blue Sky Dragon King had no intention of taking action. Despite the Empire's full defense, he suffered enough casualties but was still unable to break through the Empire's defense line.
Only then can you "request" the help of the Blue Sky Dragon King!
It's not acting.
It is a bit embarrassing, but the Kingdom cannot break through the Empire's defenses, so there is no deception.
--battlefield.
Crash!
The sound of weapons colliding and rubbing.
The soldiers of the left wing regiment once again raised their spears and charged towards the imperial defense line.
One third of the troops have been lost.
Under normal circumstances, the entire left-wing corps should have been close to collapse. The fact that it did not cause a mutiny was considered proper command, but the result was just the opposite.
Although the Empire had achieved great results and blocked more than ten attacks from the Kingdom, the atmosphere on the Empire side was visibly depressed.
The key—the Blue Sky Dragon King!
This is no longer a secret.
The empire can only defend, as for attack?
Faced with the legendary moving scourge, even the most elite soldiers would be shaken and frightened.
A heavy, depressing atmosphere permeated the imperial positions, and the soldiers numbly raised their shields, ready to meet the kingdom's offensive.
Suddenly!
This depressing atmosphere seemed to be dispelled by some invisible force, and the emotion called "hope" quickly infected the entire army from far to near.
Countless soldiers showed expressions of admiration and surprise on their faces as they watched the old figure gradually walking out from behind.
"yes……"
"Yes, it's the Guardian!"
"Guardian!"
“……!”
There was an uproar of excited stuttering.
There was a brief confusion in the formation, and then a straight passage wide enough for three people to pass through appeared on the defensive line.
Fluder, cane in hand, his heavy robe dragging on the ground, walked slowly and steadily down the passage toward the front line.
Following closely behind!
They were two middle-aged magic casters in their thirties or forties, the two most outstanding among Fluda's disciples.
It was different from Fluder's calmness.
The two magic casters' inner tension could be seen from the small movements of them clenching their magic wands.
The opponent...is a dragon after all!
Every time Fluder took a step forward, the soldiers on both sides of the road immediately stood up straight and looked at this hunched but powerful figure with admiration.
"Oh hehe~"
A certain desire gleamed deep in Fluder's eyes. He gazed forward with his cloudy gaze and raised his hand, waving it gently.
"What a rare sight! Dragon magic... is truly worth studying."
Seeing the gesture, the two disciples bowed respectfully and chanted in a low voice at the same time.
"flight"
"flight"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two disciples instantly took off into the air, flying over the battlefield and staring at the dense crowds of kingdom soldiers rushing towards them below.
"Third-tier magic: Fireball!"
"Third-tier magic: Thunder Spear!"
A huge ball of fire fell from the sky like a meteorite, and the explosion instantly covered an area.
A straight blue beam as thick as a thumb shot out from the hand of another magic caster like a laser, easily piercing through the soldiers wearing soft armor.
It's just like harvesting wheat, falling down one by one!
"Third-tier magic: Fireball!"
"Third-tier magic: Thunder Spear!"
The magic continues to be released.
The two disciples have the ability to cast 4th-level magic, but this kind of high-intensity magic is not needed on the battlefield. Simple and effective magic is most suitable.
Flames exploded and lightning flashed!
Just two magic casters were able to instantly block the Kingdom's offensive, and screams and wails filled the air.
"I've already guessed what you're thinking. There's no need to wait until we suffer heavy losses before taking action."
Fluder had reached the front of the defense line, gazing into the distance with half-closed eyes, and gently raised his magic wand:
"Fifth-level Undead Summoning: Heavy-armored Skeleton Warrior!"
The Kingdom launched a strong offensive for three consecutive days.
The reasons have been analyzed by the imperial generals. Rather than waiting for the Blue Sky Dragon King to take the first step and cause large-scale casualties to the empire,
It would be better for him to take the first step.
Buzz!
Two magic circles of faint blue light appeared under his feet.
Two skeleton warriors holding iron magic armor and weapons emerged from the magic circle and rushed towards the battlefield.
Fluder possesses the means to summon "6th rank undead," and with his mastery of the ability, he can summon two by lowering one rank.
This will have a better effect!
"Gazef and Lenas, those are the two names for sure."
"If we can lure these two out together in advance, we can prioritize eliminating these enemies who are giving Gilginifer a headache."
Fluder controlled two heavily armored skeleton warriors, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"I originally wanted to bring a Death Knight, but it probably wouldn't be useful in a battlefield of this level... that's all."
With the technology provided by the leader Zhilanon, he finally controlled the Death Knight imprisoned deep in the Black Tower some time ago.
Legend has it that once the undead appear on the battlefield, they can play a greater role!
It's just a pity.
This time the opponent is not a kingdom, but a dragon king. In addition, the Church probably does not want to see a large number of humans transformed into undead.
Fluder could only extinguish the thought.
"Help!"
"The Undead!"
“Run!”
“……!”
The left wing army was in complete chaos, bombarded by two magic casters from above and two powerful fifth-tier undead from below.
This is something that ordinary soldiers cannot resist at all!
The heavily armored skeleton knight was like a wolf among a flock of sheep. A random collision or a swing of his weapon could easily take away dozens of lives.
Such a situation.
Renas and Gazef, who were standing behind them, both changed their expressions simultaneously.
The undead are tireless, unaffected by pain, and yet they don't possess the strength of a hero!
As long as these two heavily armored skeleton knights are given enough time, they can completely slaughter the left-wing corps of more than 20,000 people!
"Lord Renas, Lord Gazef, the Marquis has ordered you two to deal with those two undead first!"
The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind:
"He will go alone to meet the Azure Sky Dragon King."
"The water speeds up!"
"The water speeds up!"
Without waiting for the breathless messenger to reach them, Reinas and the other two had already picked up their weapons and rushed to the battlefield.
Two figures in reddish-brown were moving quickly on the battlefield!
Because of Lenus,
Gazef's daily training is more diligent, resulting in his current strength being even stronger than in the original novel, and he has the level of the Origin Ring upgraded.
Equipped with several national treasure-level magic items, his strength is not weaker than that of the warriors in the "Hero Realm".
"I'll deal with the one in front of the left." Lenas shouted.
"Okay, be safe!"
Gazef shouted a warning, slamming his foot against the ground and moving sideways to the right.
when!
The black spear pierced through the air and collided with the long sword in the hand of the heavily armored bone warrior.
“Back off!”
With fierce eyes, Renas grabbed an ordinary soldier in front of her and threw him behind her, while firing her weapon:
"Quick Stab!"
The spear turned into an afterimage and launched several consecutive thrusts at the heavily armored skeleton warrior at an extremely fast speed.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Heavy and intense sparks burst from the weapons between the two sides.
The heavily armored skeleton warrior was forced to retreat by this series of fierce attacks, and his body almost lost its balance and fell to the ground.
"Ability increased!"
"Super increase in ability!"
Two blue lights flashed across Lenas' body. Seeing that the heavily armored skeleton warrior was unable to stand firm, she naturally pursued him:
"A powerful blow!"
Against the undead, the curse ability of the [Cursed Knight] is ineffective, and they can only resort to strong physical attacks.
Snap!
There was a loud thunder out of nowhere.
Dragon-shaped lightning with thick arms streaked across the sky like a stream of light, and the dazzling blue electric light caught Lenas's eyes.
Too fast!
Lightning-attribute attack magic is known for its speed, and it is difficult to avoid even if you are prepared, let alone a sudden attack.
Boom!
The place where Renas was was enveloped by dazzling lightning and emitted an explosive roar.
"Magic Resistance Breakthrough·Dragon Thunder!"
Fluder spoke calmly with an aged face, a brief arc of electricity flashing across his arm:
"Hit."
"Even if he's not dead, he should be seriously injured. A heavily armored skeleton knight can easily take care of him."
Make it a priority to deal with the traitors of this empire!
Fluder shifted his gaze, locking onto Gazef on the other side of the battlefield. He raised his arm again, aiming at the enemy, and was about to chant.
"kindness?"
A surprised tone sounded, and Fluder turned his head again, looking in the direction of Lenas.
The lightning dissipated!
“Almost…”
Renas' face was a little pale, and she appeared in everyone's sight with rapid breathing. Fear rose in her heart: "You saved my life again, Master."
A faint red light dissipated from her body!
The barrier of "Fiery Thorn Hairpin" blocked the previous attack.
