Chapter 154 Death of the Lord
Chapter 154
The Eastern Theater of Operations is divided into multiple fronts, each of which is advancing further.
Behind these countless fronts, those who truly control the situation are the war fortresses standing at the core of the battle lines. The place where the commanders are located is also the central nervous system of the entire battle line.
War Fortress No. 13 is the core of the battle line where Lin En is located.
However, this once majestic and solemn fortress is now shrouded in the shadow of defeat.
A tragic defeat, a heavy price to pay, the 13th Front in the Eastern Theater experienced a setback that almost led to collapse!
This battle forced the entire front to shrink, all defense lines retreated to the war fortress, and defensive fortifications were set up around the fortress.
No one dared to attack rashly anymore, because they all knew that Front No. 13 had been severely damaged.
If they were to encounter an attack of the same scale again, the entire defense line would probably collapse! Therefore, "holding this place and not letting the goddess' forces take advantage of their weakness to break through" became the top priority issued by the Supreme Command.
However, holding the fortress is just the bottom line.
On this basis, recuperate as much as possible and gain military merits.
Because the two supreme commanders above do not want to be looked down upon by the Morning Star Wizards, they want the wizards below to exercise their subjective initiative and gain as much military merit as possible.
Then, with fewer resources than other fronts, they gained more military merits, thus proving that their War Fortress No. 13 was not useless.
To this end, the two third-level wizards, Yod and Earl, even developed an extremely generous reward mechanism.
As long as they could make meritorious contributions, they could exchange for precious resources and even get personal guidance from high-level wizards! Under the temptation, the entire 13th Front was instantly boiling! When Yoder and Earl's orders were issued, the wizards in the entire fortress almost swarmed up.
Everyone was eager to try and volunteered to participate in various tasks, and even exaggerated their achievements just to have their names appear in the statistics of military achievements.
"A certain wizard killed two first-ring Star Hunter wizards alone!"
"A team of apprentices successfully attacked the enemy's stronghold and seized a large amount of resources!"
"So-and-so wizard sneaked behind enemy lines alone and blew up an armory!"
The praise of military exploits was overwhelming, and all kinds of exaggerated achievements were submitted layer by layer.
Of course, they did not dare to actually falsify the information, because once it was discovered, it would be considered as concealing their military achievements. At the very least, their merits would be reduced, and at the worst, they would be directly brought to a military court or even face more severe punishment.
But "embellishing" military achievements is always tacitly accepted.
Those originally worthless achievements were exaggerated to the sky through all kinds of exaggerated descriptions.
However, the War Merit Review Department is not just for show! Deep inside the Thirteenth War Fortress, in a studio filled with files and documents, there is a middle-aged wizard wearing reading glasses.
He was sitting behind a long table, frowning as he flipped through a large number of submitted battle reports.
He was one of the military merit reviewers, responsible for cleaning up those military merit records that were too exaggerated or even false.
“This group of people…”
He rubbed his temples, flipped the parchment in his hand, and quickly scanned the records, eliminating the obviously exaggerated military achievements.
Suddenly, a special application for military merit popped up, causing him to frown slightly.
"The guardian wizard...Lin?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had some impression of the name.
In fact, he did remember this person.
In the recent resource allocation, Lin En was the only official wizard assigned to the entire Front Thirteen!
This is a rare thing, and many people remember this special name.
But what really made him frown was not Lin En's identity, but the information he submitted.
"Accurate information from the Star Hunters' spies. Hope for support..."
Star Hunters spy?!
The middle-aged wizard's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retrieved Lin En's information.
According to the archives:
Lin En is only an early-stage first-level wizard, and his main job is a researcher, so his combat power is obviously not very high!
But now, this young researcher wizard actually submitted an application for military merit about the Star Hunter spy? How did he find out? How could he be sure that it was true? However, before he could think about it further, an article and a picture quickly jumped into his sight.
The article described certain secret events in great detail, and Lynn claimed that he had extracted this information from the spy's mind!
The attached picture made his heart skip a beat! It was a high-definition image of the witch-hunting dagger!
The blade was as black as ink, faintly revealing a strange magical fluctuation. On the guard of the dagger, the unique rune of the Star Hunter Society, "Seven Blue Stars", was clearly visible! "This..."
The middle-aged wizard suddenly sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the image. In an instant, the doubts in his heart disappeared, replaced by shock and solemnity!
"It's actually true?! And... can we get the Star Hunters' password?!"
He immediately continued to look through the battle report submitted by Lin En, until the end, a string of unfamiliar but very meaningful passwords suddenly came into view:
"Dark clouds cover the sun, and the seven stars are shining brightly."
“…Damn it!”
The middle-aged wizard's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his palms clenched violently, his knuckles turning white.
This is the latest password of the Star Hunters! On the battlefield, the Star Hunters' spies are like slippery loaches. They regularly change their contact information and secret orders, hiding very deeply, and it is impossible to catch them all in one fell swoop! What's more terrifying is that on the surface, they did not directly participate in the war, did not cause large-scale killings, and did not attack the battlefield head-on.
But their existence is an information war that cannot be quantified!
The leakage of tactical intelligence, the sabotage of weapons transportation, the assassination of key figures, the exposure of defense layout...
All of this was secretly promoted by them! In order to win the war, these venomous snakes hiding in the dark must be completely eradicated! However, the spies of the Star Hunter Society are difficult to capture. The real tricky thing is that even if they are captured, their memories cannot be easily read! Deep in their souls, there is a layer of divine protection. Once the power of the wizard penetrates, it will be immediately detected, and the soul will be triggered to self-destruct instantly!
This means that the Star Hunters’ spies will not leak any valuable intelligence!
Even if a third-level wizard takes action personally, he can only violently destroy the opponent's soul but cannot accurately read the information.
But Lynn...
This mere first-level wizard not only captured the Star Hunters' spy, but also successfully obtained such confidential information from the other party's mind? ! How did he do it? !
The middle-aged wizard's face turned pale and blue, and his heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand. He stared at the documents and images in front of him in doubt and confusion.
This is an absolute breakthrough!
Even more shocking than he had imagined! In the past, even when the Great Wizard personally interrogated the Star Hunters spies, he could only use extreme violence.
This often means that once a spy is violently decrypted, all other spies will immediately notice and quickly switch to a new intelligence system! But Lin En...
How did he manage to steal such crucial information without alerting other members of the Star Hunters?!
At this moment, the middle-aged wizard had no time to think about more details. He took a deep breath and his eyes were sharp.
Without hesitation, he compiled and sealed the information and quickly wrote an urgent battle report.
This information must be sent to the superiors immediately!
Send to Lord Yod!
As one of the highest commanders of the Thirteenth Front, Great Wizard Yod has been eager to skin alive all the minions under the Goddess since the defeat! And now...if this information is true, then Great Wizard Yod will definitely take action himself! ………………………………
In mid-air, a giant black dragon flapped its wings and flew high, drawing a majestic and elegant trajectory in the sky.
Its wings spread out, covering the sky. With every flap, a strong wind stirred, tearing through the clouds, bringing with it a series of dull low hums, like thunder roaring in the sky.
On the dragon's back, a graceful figure sat quietly.
She was wearing a pitch-black robe with the hood pulled down, covering half of her face.
However, the whistling wind untied the hood, revealing a beautiful face.
Those purple eyes were like clear crystal, deep and captivating.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, the eyes that should have been full of lively brilliance were now covered by a layer of dead haze, dull and lifeless, as if the soul had been bound and only a body without will remained.
And behind her, on the dragon's back, another figure stood upright.
It was a being with a strange and unfamiliar aura, a being that did not belong to this world. It was the alien creature that took away Maple Tree's will.
He gently spread out his palm, and a miniature golden scale appeared in his palm.
The scales shine with golden light, flowing with a dazzling mysterious glow.
However, if you look closely, you will find that although this balance looks intact, there is a hint of disharmony inside it.
It was as if some vital part was missing, making the whole balance seem... incomplete.
The alien creature stared at the golden scale in the palm of its hand with deep eyes, as if it was looking through it into another world.
[It’s almost there… Once I get the fragments… I can repair it…]
He whispered something, but the sound was not the wizard language, but an obscure sound from another world.
The tone was strange, and seemed to contain some indescribable magic, causing the air to faintly ripple with distortion.
The next moment, phantoms appeared one after another on the golden scale.
Shadows appeared and disappeared like water waves, some of the faces were familiar, some were unfamiliar: Sonya, the Spirit Eye Wizard, the black dragon, and even... Astrid!
Their figures changed and intertwined, and finally, all the images overlapped and merged on the golden scale, finally condensing into a familiar figure.
Lynn!
The alien creature's gaze was fixed on Lynn's figure, silent, with a gaze as dark as the abyss, as if weighing something.
After a long time, the scale trembled slightly, and Lin En's image disappeared quietly, along with it, the light of the golden scale also disappeared.
The alien creature raised his head and slowly looked towards the world, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, but indelible hatred was hidden in his eyes.
[Another world ruled by gods... But this time it's different, at least different from us, with the addition of wizards... Perhaps the gods will pay an unspeakable price...]
His voice echoed faintly, like a curse.
The alien creature's thoughts swayed slightly, and his gaze gradually became deep, as if he had penetrated the mist of time and saw his former world.
Once upon a time, there was a glorious civilization, magnificent cities, powerful warriors, and countless intelligent lives thriving there.
However, when the gods came, everything changed.
On that day, the sky collapsed and the figure of the god descended, carrying endless divine light and swallowing up all the fires of resistance.
His loved ones turned to dust in the wrath of the gods.
His comrades were reduced to ashes by the divine blow.
His lover fell in his arms, life slipping through his fingers.
He witnessed his world being shattered by the will of the gods, their cities, their beliefs, their history, their ethnic groups...
Everything was devoured, trampled, and wiped out! The civilization of the gods was like a giant beast from the abyss that devoured everything, completely devouring his world!
His people were struggling to survive under the rule of the gods and had become slaves for offering sacrifices!
In front of the gods, their resistance is meaningless, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
In that desperate battle, he also took up arms and fought to the death.
But in the end…
Tears of blood slid down the corners of his eyes, carrying with them intense hatred.
[Wizard civilization... I can't evaluate this civilization... but at least it's not weaker than the gods' civilization! ]
The blood and tears on the alien creature's face slowly dried up, turned into specks of light, and disappeared. His face also turned pale for a moment, but soon returned to its rosy color.
The creatures from other worlds are conceited. They believe that their civilization, even if it is not as good as the civilization of gods or wizards, is definitely not weak.
In the battle when the gods descended, they had killed a main god in the Pantheon, which was a clear example! According to their understanding of the gods' civilization, if some weak civilized worlds encountered the gods' civilization, they would only face death.
Even in their civilized world, the negotiation time is only about a thousand years.
After being evaluated as "prey" by the gods' civilization, the war began directly.
According to his understanding, there has been a connection between the gods' civilization and the wizards' civilization for thousands of years.
During this period, various frictions of varying sizes occurred countless times between the two sides.
Obviously, at least in the internal assessment of the gods' civilization, the wizard civilization is not yet that "prey".
Otherwise, all-out war would have already broken out.
[That’s right. After all, a powerful civilization can even use the corpse of the main god. Although Shangtia is dead, her godhood and position should have been rotated. But the fact is that until now, the throne of the main god in the Pantheon has lost a person forever...]
This time, the alien creature looked at his body, clenched his palms, and the emotions in his deep eyes were extremely complicated.
The body, godhood, and position of the goddess Shantia after her death have been completely assimilated by the wizard civilization and have become a part of them...
[That’s good. With the intervention of the wizard civilization, this war can last for a long time... a long time... and I can also complete my task...]
The alien creature became more and more excited the more he thought about it, and his face even turned a little redder, looking healthier than before...
