Alex was stunned, and the next second he raised his hand to try Mint's forehead. Mint knocked his hand away inexplicably: "What are you doing?"
"I should be the one to ask you what you are thinking! Have you forgotten what I said yesterday? Fan'a doesn't know what's going on outside, they don't care at all!"
"Now they have to take care of it!" Minte said angrily. "Originally, they sealed the country because they felt that people from other countries had harmed them. Now, haven't they guessed that it was the Demon Realm who was behind the trouble?! They must know who it is! They are the real culprits! Now the humans of the entire continent are fighting against the invasion of demons and monsters, how can they stay out of it?!"
Alex sighed: "Why are you angry with me? Of course I know, but now their soldiers have blocked all entry and exit checkpoints. Even if someone calls outside, they don't pay attention. How are we going to let those people Does the bishop know the truth? If the bishops of the Central Holy See don't know, even if the border guards hear about it, it will be useless. You probably don't know that Vana is a very simple but conservative country. Unless most people there go If you make a pilgrimage, you will never leave your home more than thirty kilometers in your life. As long as local officials make no big mistakes, they will stay in office for the rest of their lives. If the people in the temples in various places do not report, or the traveling monks do not report, the Central Holy See will never You’ll know what’s happening locally!”
Minte was stunned. He had only been to Fan'a once and was just passing by. He didn't know anything about this. After thinking about it, he said: "Then...you really can't go in? You are a disciple of their archbishop, as long as you If they can prove your innocence, they won’t deny you entry, right?”
Alex said angrily: "The problem is that they have already determined that I am a murderer or an accomplice. If they are willing to let me out safely, it would be good. How could they let me re-enter?! The current situation is that unless there is someone they can trust I need people to tell the truth, otherwise they will just think I am lying!”
Minte's eyes lit up. Turning to Alex, the other person also turned his face. The two looked at each other and thought of someone at the same time.
Minte swallowed and asked: "You are a student of the archbishop. But you know the priest, so his identity must be very special, right?"
Alex nodded: "He was a monk at the same time as my teacher and three other bishops. He had made great contributions to the post-war negotiations between Weishaar and East. He had a promising future, but I don't know why. , suddenly gave up everything and ran to Mengli to open an orphanage. But he would go back to the Central Holy See to visit friends every two or three years, and many people advised him to go back."
"That's enough." Minter smiled and pulled Alex up and ran. The two ran throughout the military camp before finding Li who was casting a recovery spell on the exhausted magicians in the tent area where magicians gathered. Del.
Father Riddle listened to their words. After being silent for a while, he said: "Actually, I also have this idea. Ever since that day Xiao Ming..." He smiled at Minte and concealed the name. "Ever since you guessed the conspiracy of the Demon Realm that day, I felt that it was necessary to go back to Fan'a, tell them the truth, and persuade them to participate in this war. Otherwise, if you continue to isolate yourself like this, it will only tarnish the light. God’s name.”
Minter and Alex looked at each other. They all felt pleasantly surprised. The latter quickly asked: "Do you think it can be successful? Will they agree?"
"It's okay if you don't agree." Father Riddle looked very solemn. "This is a war between humans and demons. As a member of humanity, if we, Vana, don't participate, who else will believe in the God of Light? I don't agree with the Central Holy See before the truth has been found out. . Impulsively closed the country. They actually recalled the Vatican monks who were originally stationed in various countries. Only the local assistant monks were left to preside over the affairs of the temples in various places. What is the difference between this and abandoning the believers? The believers will be disappointed by this. . If we stay out of this war, even if the human side wins in the future, no one will believe it. The God of Light is their salvation."
Alex nodded slightly: "You're right. When I passed through Water City before, I heard some refugee children there asking their parents. Why are the Warcraft coming? But the God of Light doesn't stop them? Isn't even God the same? Afraid of Warcraft? I believe it. No matter what reason Fana has, in the eyes of people in other countries, they will only be thought of as cowards. They dare not face the Demon Realm."
"Even if you are really scared, you can't escape." Minte said. "Esparo mentioned it in that fake land plan. Ignore Vana for now. Capture the mainland. Then surround Vana. It won't be able to escape. Same thing. If the Demon Realm wins the war. They will never tolerate the continued existence of the Sect of Light, which is their natural enemy. Waiting for Van'a Land. It will also be destroyed."
Father Riddle nodded. Then he glanced at the commander's tent not far away: "I will report to the commander immediately. Then set off to Water City. It is the closest to here. And the previous conflict was not serious. Maybe there is a border there. The guard is willing to let me go back to visit my friends.”
"I'll go with you!" Alex said hurriedly. "If they raise questions, I will show them the magic circle map! It is not something that can be found casually. I have also experienced battles personally. I have killed Warcraft with my own hands. I can tell them first-hand information. At the same time, prove my innocence!"
Riddle nodded, and the three of them discussed some details, and Minter told them in detail about the magic formation he saw passing by in Nomonka. Originally he wanted to follow, but Riddle stopped him. Among the magicians left in Ori, there are not many who know light magic. Now two of them have left at the same time. Minte can also help a little if he stays.
Mint agreed, but then Alex added: "Even if I can't help with anything, I can still help prepare some potions..." Mint glared, and was pulled over by Riddle in a funny way. He said: "Child, there is something you must be mentally prepared for. Even if we can convince the Central Holy See to let Van A participate in the war, we may not be able to repel the invasion of the Demon Realm. Don't forget, compared with more than a hundred years ago, We are still missing one thing—the elves’ fountain of life.”
Minte bit his lip: "If necessary, I can run to the Elf Forest once. I know their people."
"Don't be too optimistic. Since the Elf Forest was closed, even acquaintances who go there once or twice a year have been driven back by them. You only went there once. Can you really convince them?"
"How will you know if you don't try?" Minte is still a little confident about this. In the Elf Forest, there are his blood relatives and Uncle Qiao who has always loved him. If not to convince them, at least. Will they hear him out
Although Father Riddle and Alex prepared their bags that night, they actually set off three days later. When the former made his request to the commander, the commander could only think for a moment. He immediately sent someone to report the matter to Yi Ni, and with the permission of King Shaonan, a member of the royal family served as the envoy, accompanied by a pair of elite cavalry, and went to Van'a with Riddle and Alex. .
Shaonan and Fan'a have also been friends for many years, and in the conflicts between the parishioners in the past few months, their behavior was not crazy, and only a dozen people were injured. The marquis who serves as envoy. He also studied at the Central Holy See for several years, and his teacher was one of the few remaining bishops. If such a group of people requests entry, the Van-Afghan border guard will surely consider allowing it, right
After Alex and others left. Minter has been staying in Ori town, participating in the search activities and helping to prepare the potion. The ingredients for the potion were somewhat insufficient. When he found out that his teacher Sauron was on the defensive line on the other side of the Senluo River, he secretly rejoiced and took out the materials that the other party had asked him to bring first. He wondered if the teacher would be angry. Bar? Anyway, there are a lot of them, and the remaining land is enough for him to use for a long time.
The monster attacked twice more. The magicians used the same method. Trap them in a clearing on the river bank. Now it can be considered a real "iceberg". However, as the river dried up completely. And the magic power recovery speed of several great magicians is getting slower and slower, and the war situation is once again tense.
Minte stood on the wall. I used the telescope to take another look at the large stacked ice blocks in the distance, my mind spinning rapidly.
This is not going to work. If there is another monster attack, there will be no river water to freeze. And when the surrounding area is surrounded by ice, it is difficult for the fire to start. He once asked Vasily to come forward and proposed a fire attack to Shaonan's commander, but he was rejected by the other party.
The winter in Shaonan is humid and cold, making it difficult to start a fire. Moreover, a large part of the monsters are trapped in the river, and they will be burned to ashes. If they cannot be cleaned up, when the river water from the upper reaches flows down again, , there will be a great chance of bringing toxic substances to the middle and lower reaches. The Barro River is directly connected to the Combai River and passes through many large cities such as the Magic City, Italy and Doro. Most residents along the way drink the river water. The harm caused by toxic river water to Shaonan cannot be solved in a year and a half.
Now the Barro River under the city wall is also polluted by Warcraft, but because almost all the river water is used to freeze Warcraft, and the dam reinforced with magic petrification blocks the flow of water, there are also magicians who know light magic to purify it every day. Water quality can minimize the harm. Even so, the drinking water in Ori Town now relies on well water rather than river water.
what can we do about it? Minte came back and paced, thinking about ways to deal with the monsters. correct! If we were to surround the monsters with earth walls like they did in Xiko, melt the ice cubes, re-constitute the water into small ice cubes and place them separately, pour oil in to burn the monsters, wait until they are burned to ashes, and then burn the monsters. If the polluted river water is put in, fused with the ashes, and then re-frozen into ice, wouldn't it be easy to move it to a suitable place
This approach is like using Xiko's tactics and Ori's tactics at the same time!
Minte hurriedly ran to find Vasily, but even other colleagues from the Security Agency agreed and hurriedly ran to tell the commander.
The magician commander from Shaonan unexpectedly closed the book in his hand and looked at Minte carefully: "Did this young man come up with it? It is indeed a good and feasible method, but it is a bit difficult to implement. I have also heard about what you did in Xiko, but now the great magicians are very tired, and no one has the ability to support such a large-scale magic alone."
"Then don't just rely on one person!" Minte said hurriedly, "In fact, each person can only deal with one or two! A magician like Alex can use the earth wall by himself. Trapping a monster and then burning it to death can be easily accomplished if a water magician helps with melting and freezing the ice! Aren't there many magicians in Shaonan? Everyone only needs to deal with a few of them. That’s it!”
The commander's pupils shrank and he looked at Mint with surprise: "Indeed...why didn't I think of that? Young man, what's your name?"
"I..." Before Minte could say his name, a Security Bureau officer behind him suddenly stepped forward and held his shoulders: "This is a young man from our Security Bureau, Xiao Minte, you must listen. Did you mention Earl Xiao? This is his grandson."
"The grandson of Earl Xiao?!" The commander was immediately in awe, "You are really young and promising, and you are worthy of being a descendant of Earl Xiao." He immediately summoned his adjutants to bring Minte's proposal to the great magicians and ask them about it. Is it feasible. Then, he asked everyone from the Security Department to sit down and asked them what they thought of the war situation, paying special attention to Min Te's opinion. The great magicians soon asked someone to bring a message, thinking that they could give it a try, and the commander appreciated Minte even more.
When the security agency team returned to their residence, Minte's face changed and he stared at the colleague seriously. Vasily also asked: "Weike, why did you say that just now?!"
Wake lowered his head slightly: "I'm sorry, but I said this according to the instructions of the boss."
"Boss?" Minte and Vasily looked at each other and asked hurriedly, "Why did Mallory do this? I used to find it strange. I clearly don't call him by this name, so why would he say this to others?"
"Because Earl Xiao has special charisma on the mainland." Wake said seriously, "Minte, you may not like it, but now, we do need people with charisma. Otherwise, each country has its own ideas. , once there is a disagreement, it is possible for the enemy to sneak in. Your Excellency the Earl is not here, so the boss has no choice but to push you out."
Minte's face was a little ugly: "But I have no charisma. I'm not a grandpa!"
"But you can't deny that if we hadn't said His Excellency the Earl's name, the commander just now wouldn't have been so easy to talk to. If we have any ideas in the future, we will use your name to report them to him." Wake turned around. Looking at Vasily, who had a gloomy face, he said, "Sorry, captain, there are some things that you are no longer suitable to do in your capacity, so the leader will leave them to me. You are still our leader, but there are some things that you are not comfortable doing." I will only come forward if it’s something.”
Vasily's face improved a little, and he turned to Minte. Minte bit his lip and said, "If it is really necessary, then do as you say."
The new tactics worked quickly. It only took one day to turn the ice blocks accumulated on the river bed and river banks into real ice blocks, and they were all sealed into a cave in a nearby barren mountain. The Demon Realm side seemed to realize that this line of defense was a tough one, so they turned to attack the Senluo River area. The magicians originally stationed in Ori had to detach part of them to support Mori County, whose defense was relatively weak.
But less than a day after these magicians left, a new wave of attacks on Ori began. The remaining magicians could barely hold on and began to feel tired.
