Chapter 65: High Priest Jiger



"So this is the reason why the mysterious organization can still enter Kantwin in large numbers?" Du Yuqi said.

"It's not a massive invasion yet." Lin said at this time. "At this moment, I feel like the enemy is slowly weaving a terrible big net, and then it is constantly tightening, squeezing our living space. In the end, the enemy will suddenly attack when they have an absolute advantage, hit the target with one strike, and then suddenly retreat before the imperial army can react!"

Du Yuqi immediately said:

"So why not transfer?"

Lin shook his head and said:

"If we had just arrived in Cantwin, it would still be feasible. We could have gone directly to Vetalon, the capital of the Delos Empire. After all, it is the imperial capital and will be more strictly controlled. However, as I said just now, the mysterious organization is taking a deliberate approach this time. Their first step is to control and cut off any means of transportation we may use. Our route out has been almost completely blocked."

"If we want to use Magadha to escape again, the most likely scenario is that it will explode after reaching a high altitude. If we try to escape by moving on the ground, then the first few hours of escape will be unimpeded. Once we stop to rest, when we want to get up again, we will be surrounded. In other words, we are currently trapped in Cantwin."

Du Yuqi frowned and said:

"Has the situation deteriorated to this extent?"

Lin nodded and said:

"Yes, the method adopted by the other party is to squeeze our space little by little. It doesn't seem to be a big problem now, but in the end, we may only be able to move around the surrounding areas of Cantwin's military camp. We must be careful of the murderous intentions everywhere. The water we drink may be poisoned, we may be ambushed when we eat, and we may be attacked when we sleep... The final outcome is that we can't bear it anymore and rush out to die in a spectacular battle!"

Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said:

"They are definitely not here just for us, they might be taking advantage of the situation to extend their influence to Cantwin. After all, this is the capital of doomsday, the final destination of the Perrus Empire. There have always been rumors that a batch of treasures after the fall of the empire were hidden here, which was left by the last emperor of the empire, Peng Delun II, for future generations to prepare for the restoration of the country."

Yangzi suddenly said:

"There is another very important rumor."

Du Yuqi said:

"What rumors?"

Yang Zi said:

"Back then, the Delos Empire had an army of 380,000 soldiers at the gates of the city, while the Perrus Empire was like a candle in the wind, with only 20,000 troops. Under such circumstances, High Priest Jig was able to lead these 20,000 soldiers to fight against them on his own. In the end, it was not until High Priest Jig lost control of the ghosts and gods that the Delos Empire was able to successfully occupy Cantwin. Don't you think there is something wrong here?"

Du Yuqi pondered and said:

"According to my common sense, Cantwin is not a natural fortress. Even if it has the advantage of the city wall for defense, when the difference in weapons between the two sides is not that big, 20,000 people can only defend against an attacking army of 100,000 at most, right? To defend against the attack of a full 380,000 troops, that means... the combat power of High Priest Jig alone is at least equivalent to that of 40,000 soldiers, right?"

Du Yuqi was shocked when he made this inference. What kind of concept is this?

The strongest Arad bull he encountered at this time was probably of Feng Lin's level. Although this old guy was very strong, strictly speaking, how many regular troops could he resist on the front battlefield... Du Yuqi felt that 500 people were enough. The combat power of the high priest Jiger could actually soar to this level, which was unprecedented and unparalleled.

At this time, Xi shook his head and said:

"No, that's not right. Didn't the Delos Empire have any strong men at that time? The Perrus Empire was already on the verge of death, so there should be many strong men working for the Delos Empire. In this case, being able to remain neutral is considered loyal. So strictly speaking, after High Priest Jiger single-handedly resisted the strong men working for the Delos Empire, the remaining combat power was equivalent to adding 40,000 well-trained elite soldiers."

When she saw Xi this time, Du Yuqi felt that she looked a little haggard. It was just that there were too many people around and she had a one-night stand with Senior Sister Mei. Therefore, for some reason, she always felt a little guilty in front of Xi. When Xi spoke at this time, she found that she was really to the point. She was still the Master Xi who did not care about trivial matters and was not confused about big things.

After hearing what Xi said, the others fell silent, obviously thinking about what she said in their hearts. After this conclusion came out, the first three words that came to their mind were "impossible", but when they thought about it carefully, they couldn't find any fault with it.

Yangzi, this woman, seems to be very fond of coffee. After taking the cappuccino that Du Yuqi threw to her, she had already made a cup and took a sip of it elegantly. She said:

"After all, this happened so many years ago that many things have been buried in the dust of history. The Delos Empire is also very secretive about this battle. It is said that some very special methods were used back then! So there are many mysteries. However, according to some information I got from the organization before, the strength of the high priest Jiger was really terrifying, stronger than we guessed."

After hearing what Yangzi said, the others were also shocked, but after accepting this fact, they thought back and realized that it was not so difficult to accept. After all, think about his identity. He is the high priest of the Perus Empire, at the same level as the national teacher, and behind him stands a huge empire that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Think about the rich secret treasures of the Ratnes family. This is just the family foundation of an earl family that has been passed down for hundreds of years! The secret resources accumulated by an empire after the last generation can be imagined. In other words, even if a pig stayed in that position, with the resources of the empire, it would probably be able to look down on the world.

Du Yuqi couldn't help asking at this time:

"I just heard that this high priest Jiger is good at controlling ghosts and gods and using their power. So what exactly are ghosts and gods?"

Xi recalled:

"Strictly speaking, ghosts and gods are actually powerful beings who once lived and existed on the continent of Arad. Although they are dead, they exist in the spirit world in a mysterious way, similar to the existence of heroic spirits. Moreover, the mutated ghost swordsman can communicate with ghosts and gods through the medium of his mutated left hand."

"At present, there are eight known demons. The first demon is Kazan, the sword spirit. The second demon is Kaija, the afterimage. The third demon is Pulmon, the erosion. The fourth demon is Saya, the frost. The fifth demon is Raksha, the plague. The sixth demon is Carlo, the dark flame. The seventh demon is Brashu, the evil god... and the high priest Jig himself!"

Yang Zi said:

"The current Devil May Cry can only rely on a small part of the power of the seven great ghosts. What they summon are only their spiritual fragments, and they also have to face the danger of losing control of their power at any time and being attacked. According to reliable records, only the high priest Jiger of that year obtained terrible power, and even summoned the real bodies of the seven great ghosts to charge left and right on the battlefield. In front of these terrible ghosts that once existed in historical records, most of the strong people find it difficult to muster the courage to fight against them."

"It is recorded that the range of the Frost Saya (commonly known as the Ice Array: it inflicts ice magic damage to enemies within the summoning area at certain intervals, and has a certain chance of freezing the enemies) summoned by High Priest Jiger reached an astonishing two kilometers, and lasted for an hour! With such a powerful force, even the most elite soldiers would die if they stepped into it, which shows how fierce it is."

After hearing Yangzi's description, everyone was speechless. An ice formation with a range of two or three kilometers... No wonder the 380,000 elite soldiers of the Delos Empire, led by the great priest Jiger, were beaten to a pulp and returned home in defeat! Such a terrifying force is truly awe-inspiring.

Yangzi continued:

"Since the great priest Jig tried to communicate with the ghosts and gods and then use their power, the profession of Devil May Cry was born, but the subsequent Devil May Cry never obtained such terrifying power as him. According to the research of the mysterious organization, it is believed that the great priest Jig may have used the power of the entire Perrus Empire to research a very special secret technique. He used this powerful secret technique to completely suppress the seven ghosts and gods, and then enslave and control them to obtain all the power of the ghosts and gods."

"According to historical records, High Priest Jig was struck by continuous lightning during a fierce battle. Although he was not injured, the secret technique used to seal and suppress the demons was broken. The seven demons that had originally made the enemy tremble turned against him in an instant and dragged him underground. High Priest Jig disappeared from the world since then, and the Perus Empire he protected was also destroyed because of this."

Du Yuqi suddenly recalled what happened to him and his group in Xiatli, and his heart suddenly felt cold. He said sternly:

"Don't tell me that the mysterious organization has set its sights on Cantwin again this time?"

Yangzi said slowly:

"We cannot rule out this possibility, because the power of the great priest Jiger was a terrifying force that could rival that of a country. If it were obtained by a mysterious organization, the landscape of the continent would change!"
