Black Scepter Chapter 144: Chess player
Thank you for the ten monthly tickets! Today I change 4700 words
At the same location, the Kleinman Castle Hall, which had held a banquet the night before, was tidied up at noon on the second day, and all the "high-rise" also changed their costumes, and with a serious face, "the invasion of the Holy Gabriel Empire" Started the discussion.
Morpheus is too lazy to figure out what the purgatory giants are going to do. He looked at the piece of intelligence that was sorted into categories, and he didn’t frown as hard as before, thinking hard about it, but with a smile on his lips. Standing in front of the huge sand table on the mainland, he sighed softly and asked, "There is no news over William?"
Eindal aside took a sheet from a stack of parchment paper, looked at it, and replied: "The last contact was a month ago, it seems that the Kleinman family had learned of Giovanni's conspiracy, and Responded, but there is no other news so far"
"Oh... that old immortal, what else can I do besides hiding?"
Ashkandi, who wanted to spend a romantic night with Morpheus, was disrupted by Gabriel’s news. The grievances in his heart were completely vented to the poor Kleinman head. Morpheus only found it funny. , Persuaded: "Now that the source of information within the sacred Gabriel is almost closed, if you want to know the movement of the pope, I am afraid that only by contacting this patriarch can you make a breakthrough. The "creed" has limited power over there, I think Maybe only you..."
"Shall I go?" Ashcandi pouted, disgusted by the Kleinman family's emotions was obvious, but then she nodded and responded, "No problem, provided he doesn't trouble me with the novel chapter ."
"I have to pray that you don't have to trouble him first." Morpheus smiled and turned to look at the "consultants" behind him, asking: "How do you think about these bully and hard guys?"
The so-called "bully and afraid" is because the army of the sacred Gabriel also attacked Barrich, but bypassed the edge of the Lampard territory. Even without the intention to attack, he rushed to the emperor of West Barrich. Buttigia is completely intimidated by the territory where Morpheus is located.
As the nominal leader of the territory, Hegel got up slowly and said: "They only came with an army of 20,000. If the'night watchman' is dispatched collectively, I don't think they will be finished in a round, like that The Pope has figured this out for a long time, and I can only say that he made a correct choice."
The crowd roared with laughter and the atmosphere was relaxed.
In fact, Hegel, who was hated by the Glass family, wanted the Buttigian royal family to annihilate the clan early, but at this moment he couldn’t behave so subjectively, he coughed and continued: "According to the principle... Gabriel’s strength is so scattered No one will have the upper hand to fight, but with such a “good ally” like purgatory, they are now in great momentum, with 20,000 troops and more than 100,000 purgatory creatures, but Putija can’t stop it from cooperating. , It is difficult for other countries to persist for too long."
Morpheus listened to his statement and glanced across the sand table. In addition to the island country Ingrid, Gilman, Fording, Barrich, Byzantine, Caslandi were all occupied by a large area of land, and even Morpheus’s hometown Hook County fell. Into the reign of this group of "Jihad".
"But are these countries really unsustainable? Actually, the strength has not yet been integrated. Byzantine will certainly be able to withstand this offensive. Some of the remaining countries can withstand and some can't withstand, but if that's the case Watching him develop, I am afraid that it will be annexed sooner or later... What I have to worry about now is what kind of abacus is this old **** stick with Tiger seeking leather?"
Hegel pointed to the areas marked as occupied by the sacred Gabriel empire, "What will those who have been bitten by purgatory creatures become what everyone knows, at present it seems that the old **** sticks of the sacred Gabriel also Not completely crazy, but there is no guarantee that the civilians who have been annexed to the territory will be'handled'. If everything is a conspiracy of purgatory, then the pope has done a stupid thing."
This is a very objective thing. If millions or even tens of millions of civilians have been transformed into purgatory creatures, it will definitely be a catastrophe. Even if the armed force is absolutely strong, Lampard It may not be able to withstand the other party's attack.
"How to fight then?"
Brown, who once served in the Byzantine Cavalry Regiment, pointed to the core area of the sacred Gabriel empire in the middle of the sand table. "The strength of our troops is not good. There are too many enemies. We can’t stop it, maybe we can only... "
"Destroy the Pope directly? Not easy..."
No one thinks that the Pope is a persimmon kneaded by everyone. Sunderland pointed out the scary magic array and defensive means of the Pope’s Hall. Brown did not argue after hearing it. The army of Pad has not yet reached the point of assuming the responsibility of the "guardian of the mainland". War is war, and war is for the sake of gaining benefits. If you can't get the benefits by just taking your life, who will fight hard?
"Right...how is the mobile teleportation array prepared?"
Whether listening to these discussions, Morpheus suddenly raised a less relevant question.
Sunderland and Creevey are jointly responsible for the subject that Morpheus just raised a few days ago, but they quickly gave the answer: "The teleportation array you requested... There is no difficulty in theory, and the requirements can be met when the materials are sufficient. ."
Let Na, Joan and others not understand what they are saying, but when Morpheus nodded and smiled, it calmed down inwardly, and no longer worried about how difficult the current situation would become.
"What about food?"
Morpheus turned to Hegel instead.
"Affected by the tree of Hida, this year’s output has increased by five or six times, and the news from the alchemy room...these foods have helped the soldiers to restore their physical strength and increase their strength, so they have exported in recent days. The grain made the peasants earn a lot.” Speaking of these, Hegel said, “Of course, the grain prepared in the territory now is enough for the entire army for a whole year.”
Morpheus is slightly silent, closing his eyes and thinking. Everyone feels that this atmosphere is somewhat different from the past. When the “night watchman” has never appeared in such a collective discussion strategy, and the few words that Morpheus dominates the stability of the entire conference atmosphere, even the most nervy Hesse You can also notice the difference.
"Then talk about my opinion..." Opening your eyes slightly, Morpheus's voice is calm and without waves, "What are our advantages? The most powerful magician group, equipment, the strongest knight, Infantry and long archers, in terms of soldiers’ ability, the entire continent is unmatched..."
Speaking of this, a kind of high-level leaders can't help but feel a little proud and proud, but Morpheus's next words made them frown
"But... to what extent can we ‘the strongest’ soldiers and mages be stronger? Is it one or two lines stronger than the average human level... or one or two times?”
This sentence says that young girls like Andalil and Jeanne can't hear the meaning, but Hegel, Sunderland and Brown and others narrowed their eyes slightly and thought.
"The fight is about strength, the frontal charge completely crushes the opponent, then we don’t need to make any conspiracy to take risks...Now Heisel tells me that "Lampard infantry should be used as a ten", I will never doubt it, but this Only when facing humans. And when facing purgatory?"
He looked to his subordinates who were gradually enlightened, and continued: "We seem to have a preconceived misconception...always think that humans can't beat those purgatory guys in front of them, they can only rely on walls, weapons, and this That... but in fact, under certain conditions, the strength of these enemies may not be worth mentioning at all."
The words made everyone present stunned for a while, and it was true that Lampard's territory won the mainland. Morpheus and Ashkandi alone can be regarded as tens of thousands of enemies, not to mention the Pangshi regiment whose number has risen to nine hundred...but if Morpheus spoke out to remind them, they really have not thought about how to deal with the murderous and purgatory. A huge number of enemies are tough.
The confrontation between the Lampard territory and the purgatory beasts was not a "fight" at all. It was just a victory with defensive circle and Joan's spell. So listening to his words at this time, the night watchman's senior collective fell into deep thought.
"So what we need to understand now is...what strength is our army in the end, whether it is crushed when facing the scum of purgatory, or is it like stepping on ants... crushing them?"
His words came to a halt, his expression calmed down, and his plain and relaxed temperament suddenly became abnormal.
"Compton, Irindal."
The intelligence consul and the tall blood race immediately stepped forward, waiting for the orders of Morpheus.
"The task that was given to you to make cards is now officially started, grab some enemies and come back to our soldiers to deal with it, look at their reactions and record all the data in detail." Morpheus turned his head and looked at Andalil and Zhen De, "especially including the situation under the influence of two sacrificial divine arts."
"Heisel."
"In!"
Heisel stood up like a brown bear, and responded to him with a sound like Hong Zhong.
"Let those young people who are known as "celestial pickers" learn to adapt to war. Our territory now has no enemies, does not mean that we will not face enemies in the future, and they will study with Compton how to make those soldiers overcome fear .A certain percentage of deaths are allowed in drills and exercises. Only by letting them understand the cruelty of war can these soldiers mature earlier."
"Yes!"
Several people led away. The Knights and Christina, who hadn’t had time to return yesterday, looked at Morpheus before they came to wake up. In fact, the consul had already had a way to deal with it... The previous discussion was just to tell them The current situation is over.
"The equipment of cavalry, the quality of war horses, the level of knights, not only the best in this continent, but also the strongest in all planes...Do you understand what I mean?" Morpheus raised his eyes slightly, "Human strength can be enhanced , Warhorse can do the same, Sunderland"
The Archmage on the side stood up and stood by.
"The new mission of the Alchemy Lab is to study how to make these cavalry have the most powerful impact, remember, it is the most powerful."
"Yes."
"Christina."
Morpheus turned to face the Countess, "Fording's territory is threatened and can request support at any time. Lampard needs to train troops and even needs the minerals there."
The orders were issued one by one, Morpheus arranged new tasks for everyone, and even Andalil and Jeanne were no exception. Although the senior night watchman in a house was surprised by the changes in Morpheus, there were more but It was a sense of calm and confidence that allowed them to sink their hearts.
"Jeana, stay after the meeting."
"I said so much today, so please go first if you are busy"
This meeting determines all of Lampard’s next plans. Morpheus did not intend to take any immediate action or drag a group of troops to go somewhere to die with the old **** stick. Now that the other party has evaded themselves, it means that they have made other efforts to find the key to this war. Interests, Morpheus can only find a solution to the problem.
Purpose and move forward, Morpheus will no longer be as irritable as it used to be.
After Ashcandi also left to look for William, the huge hall was almost empty. The servants consciously withdrew from the house after cleaning up the tea cups. The humanoid Hydra sat by the window overlooking Arantis, Sphinx sleeps aside... and in the house, only Jeanna and Morpheus are left.
"The soul tolerance of this armor is at a critical point."
It’s no nonsense, Morpheus directly named the reason why the soul knight stayed, standing in front of Jeanna, he looked at the Kelga Shengkai reinforced with "Isis Silver Powder" and reached out to touch, Instead, he asked: "Is life very monotonous now? Will you be bored?"
Several homely words are his heartfelt concern. After all, as the "experiment" of the heretical verdict, Na's fate is extremely miserable. After enduring countless sufferings, she can only rely on her current soul form to continue to serve her Morpheus. Although she has been given a lot of freedom and power, in retrospect, Morpheus has not seen her show a positive side.
She is still like a machine, patrolling and running all day long, immersing herself in "work" without asking the world.
Jeana wore a helmet and heard Morpheus’s words and there was no response, and when Morpheus touched her shoulder armor, the light behind the helmet flashed a bit... but she remained silent and did not answer anything. .
"Don’t worry too much about your body, I will have a way."
Morpheus looked at this knight who was almost the same height as him after wearing armor. The back of his long hair flying and galloping seemed to flash in front of his eyes...He took a deep breath and said softly: "If... I can let you have a Body, will you... will you accept it?"
"Kara."
All metal gloves were squeezed suddenly, making Na's eyes light up like a lit candlelight in a lonely night. She looked directly at Morpheus's eyes, as if confirming the truth of the words.
"When I discussed the purgatory creatures just now, I suddenly thought of some possibilities. If I can succeed, I should be able to do this for you."
Morpheus does have some ideas. Shaping the flesh out of nothing sounds like a fantasy, but it seems that it is not difficult for purgatory, a plane full of taboo magic.
"Need... What should I do?" Jeanna finally uttered her voice, and the slightly echoed inquiry was a little trembling. After all, she had no delusions about her body and was suddenly given hope by Morpheus, saying she was not excited Is impossible.
"What to do? No, don’t forget to do the tasks I’ve arranged for you. When I’m sure, just do it"
Morpheus didn’t finish the conversation, like eyebrows, so when she stretched her hand, she would kneel on one knee and said, "What is this for?"
Jeana was a little speechless, but after a short while you replied quietly: "I... owe you too much."
"I should be right in saying this." Morpheus probably understood what she was thinking, and found that she was stubbornly unwilling to get up, and simply squatted down, looking at her face to face and said, "You were trying to save Ashkan Dee lost... the body ~ IndoMTL.com ~ that should be due to my negligence, so now... this is what I owe."
Seeing Jeanna a little hesitant, he continued: "You trust me, I trust you, it has nothing to do with the contract or anything. I do this, but I don’t want to be condemned by morality. Noble, of course, I consider myself...not mean."
Get up slowly, even though Na accepts Morpheus’s statement, her excitement within the time has not subsided. She wants to say something, but feels that Morpheus has blocked her path of “repaying grace”. Going, I had to give up, solemnly marched, and silently exited the hall.
But who knows what Jeana was thinking at this time?
Jerga Shengkai has been reinforced by the power of the "law" at the moment Morpheus touched, so that Na has no life crisis in a short time, so Morpheus can temporarily avoid worrying about Jeana’s soul.
Get up and walk out of the Kleinman castle, Morpheus narrowed his eyes, thinking about the next situation, wandering in the territory, seemingly without pressure.
The situation is like a chess board. Morpheus seems to have finally emerged from the role of "chess piece" and become a chess player overlooking everything.
