Dust of History Chapter 64:
The High Priest Tima seemed to be a little moved, there seemed to be some crystal light in those huge bull eyes, and his voice was trembling. "Thank you so much, let me also have the honor to join your great cause. I swear in the name of the Horned Demon, my people and I will never let you down, that dirty and despicable Celeste Sooner or later, the glorious castle will be reduced to ruins under our feet."
The negotiation went very smoothly and quickly, without any haggling or hesitation. The matter about the joining of the tauren and the harpies into Oufu was quickly agreed between the city lord of Oufu and the high priest of the tauren. Sedros's enthusiasm has always been high, with a radiant radiance and a smile on his face, and High Priest Tima has always been very moved, and then High Priest Tima immediately took the Wyvern to the junction of Tatalia and Nigan The border, waiting for the people who migrated from Nigan.
When the Wyvern carried High Priest Tima flying high, and Sedros on the ground slowly became a small dot, which could not be seen clearly at night, High Priest Tima's face had been very pale just now. The gentle, poet-like expressive expression has calmed down. Although the way of human communication is disgusting, High Priest Tima is no stranger to it. He was able to become a high priest and was almost able to become the ruler of Negan. High Priest Tima had to admit that it was because he learned a lot from humans. enough.
This is a great place. High Priest Tima really had to admit this from the bottom of his heart. When he came here using the teleportation scroll, he was almost taken aback. When Nigan heard about Sedros's plan more than ten years ago, he didn't take it seriously. But I didn't expect that he did it, and it was so successful. In terms of achievements, no hero can compare to him.
Because of this, he must be guarded more than anyone else. High Priest Tima agreed with Sedros' previous evaluation of heroes. Those who can be successful, occupy high positions, and have strength are definitely people who are deeply scheming and will not be shackled by things like morality. Of course, the same goes for friendship and stuff like that.
Sedros can welcome himself like this, showing such generosity and enthusiasm. The High Priest knew that it was absolutely impossible to say that he was really motivated by some kind of friendship and affection, just as it was impossible for him to really express his gratitude.
For Oufu, who is about to start a war with the church at any time, thousands of desperate tauren and harpies are naturally resources that cannot be found. Such a reaction from Sedros was completely within Tima's expectation, and he knew the result before he came here.
In the eyes of a truly successful superior, everything is only useful and useless. There is such a simple difference between beneficial and harmful, so it is very simple to predict their reactions in many cases.
Of course this is the same for High Priest Tima.
In the office of the city lord, the enthusiasm and radiance on the face of the city lord Oufu, who had just sent off the high priest Tima, also lost the enthusiasm and radiance just now. The wonderful air magic hung the map neatly on the wall.
The map is huge. It occupies almost one wall and is well-made. Sedros himself is the most famous adventurer, polymath and cartographer on the continent.
On the location of Oufu in the middle of the wild highland in the middle of the map, a number ten was drawn with chalk. Sedros thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a "ten" behind the ten. plus two".
In the southwest corner of the map, which represents Nigan, Sedros wrote a zero without hesitation to cover the original number. Then his eyes stopped on the large area between Negan and Oufu. Those are the large and small religious countries headed by Celeste under Celeste's command, and they naturally have their own numbers.
These numbers represent the country's national strength and combat capability. Although none of these countries has data close to the "ten" representing Oufu except Erasia, the total amount is far more than that, and it is close to Thirty.
Although these data were already like this before, until now, until Negan behind them has been covered by that zero, the effect of their data has not been fully utilized.
There was a knock on the door, and Sedros didn't turn his head. He was still looking at the map on the wall, but said in a low voice, "Have you figured it out?"
"It's all figured out. It will take half a month to settle down, and it will consume about 30% of the productivity of this month. If it is settled well, the average monthly expenditure will increase by 20%. There is no way to increase productivity. Evaluated, I really don’t know what the tauren and harpies can do.” The door opened, and Lord Borugan walked in, looking at the ledger in his hand while reporting.
The deputy of the city lord is still very short and short, with a face like a pie, but the messy hair has become neat and smooth, and his body is no longer It's the wrap-like cloak that hasn't been washed or changed for many years, but a set of official uniforms that are neat and seem to have a bit of prestige. It looks more like a castellan than the castellan of Sedros in ordinary attire.
There is no tailor in the city of Oufu, and the orcs do not need this kind of occupation. Master Borugan took the time out of his busy schedule to use the teleportation scroll to go to Ainfast to do it. It is a complete imitation of Ainfast. The uniforms of the imperial officials, but no matter how good the clothes are, they can't really have any real effect on his figure.
This outfit was originally only a special equipment for him when he went to the Tower of Fangs. I don't know if it was because he was too satisfied with his appearance. After that, it gradually became the uniform he hung on his body all the time.
"There's no need for them to do anything. Just be able to fight and kill people." Sedros replied lightly.
"Yes. The fighting power of the tauren is actually higher than that of the ogre. Although the harpies are weak, they are flexible. If they can cooperate with the wyvern properly, no one can shake Oufu's air superiority. ...but..." Borugan-sama scratched his head habitually, and immediately smoothed his hair, before continuing. "But...it can only be said to be useful if it can be used...."
"Whether it is the harpy or the tauren, they are violent and unruly guys. It is difficult to integrate into this city, and it is easy to arouse racial conflicts and conflicts. Moreover, they all have their own leaders. These two leaders It’s still huddled together...It’s okay in peacetime, but in such an extraordinary period...Master Sedros, I don’t think it’s a good idea to let them join Oufu."
"I know all of this..." Sedros sighed. "But without them, I really don't have enough confidence to resist the coming offensive of the church..."
"However, it hasn't been long since the church coalition army was defeated last time, and even if the troops are gathered again, the number will never be..."
"The number will be double that of last time." Sedros' voice was flat and cold.
"They don't have to worry about Negan anymore. All the defense lines in the west of the country can be put into battle on the wild highlands." His finger landed on Negan's position on the map, where there was only a big zero. "Double the strength, and absolutely go all out."
"But as long as we can wait until General Gru leads a firm foothold in the Sandefis Mountains, we will be able to receive a steady stream of high-level magic materials. The Tower of Fangs can help us make scrolls, and then... "
"It's too late." Sedros turned his head to look at Mr. Borugan, and sighed again. He was no longer as energetic as before, and the wrinkles on his face seemed never to be so deep. His silver hair and beard had lost their luster, and he only showed the paleness of an old man. "Magnus will never give us this chance~IndoMTL.com~ Did the spies from Celeste get any news?" Lord Borugan asked.
"No. It was Tima's cow who gave me the news. He told me that Magnus actually used the Purgatory Paradise on Negan." Sedros smiled wryly and shook his head slightly. "That was one of the two scrolls of forbidden spells that the pope and three cardinals spent their entire lives producing magic power two hundred years ago, but only one was used to completely reverse the situation of the battle between Erasia and Negan The remaining one has been kept until today. This should be regarded as Celeste's most memorable treasure. I was always worried that Magrus would use it when dealing with us, but he used it in Negan, and took advantage of the melee between the tauren and the black elves to wipe out all the main forces of both sides in one fell swoop."
"Excellent..." Borugan-sama nodded with his mouth wide enough to be stuffed into an ogre's fist. "Since you are willing to use such a powerful trump card on Negan, the real purpose is Oufu, and he really won't give us any chance."
"Yes." Sedros nodded, and looked at his deputy with approval. This is a smart man without any scheming. Although he seems to be a bit stupid in many cases, his mind is indeed the best among so many young people under him, so he has the most trust in him. A simple and smart person, this is the real talent.
