Sitting next to Mistress Herest, Ryan began to think about how to choose the next two battles. He only brought three companions. Naturally, it was impossible to imitate the Rakshasa demon and deliberately send people to die in order to preserve their strength. A battle was necessary. Winning victory after victory, in fact, with Ryan's current power, he is not qualified to stand side by side with the four major races such as the dark elves. He neither has the power of the demigod king nor the huge ruling territory and foundation of the dark elves and other races. Why should we bear the same responsibilities and obligations as them
Ryan's previous promise to participate in this gambling battle as an independent force was mainly due to the fact that he did not want the alliance of the four tribes to cause unnecessary trouble because of his existence. After all, the Dark Elf's Matron Herest plus Ryan and his party had great strength. It has a clear advantage among the four races, but this advantage is far less powerful than the completely suppressed position of the opposite Titan Archon Queen of the Night, so no matter what happens, it can only be carried out in a capacity similar to that of the leader of the alliance. Coordination, rather than giving orders directly like the Queen of the Night,
Under this situation, Ryan's concession is tantamount to sacrificing his own interests to ease the conflicts in the camp, but this only eases rather than eliminates it. The struggle for interests among the four tribes is still continuing. For example, Lord Herest The transaction between his mother and the other two kings is the most obvious example. Ryan does not know about this matter. Even if he knows, it cannot change anything. He does not intend to change anything at the expense of his own interests. That is beyond the limit. My bottom line is that I came to another world to participate in the Thousand Years War to improve my strength. This original intention has not changed until now.
As an even-numbered round, Ryan's side challenged first, so Ryan chose himself without hesitation. He left those trivial matters to Senitya to handle, and he teleported into the gambling venue several times, and went up In a battle, Ryan killed the Overseer's Eye here, and the loot he obtained was extremely rich. Originally, Ryan only used Senetia's current territory as a bet, but it was obvious that this land was not worthy of the powerful in the field. identity, so under the instruction of Mother Herest, the dark elves added a lot of extra chips, so that Ryan actually gained a huge territory of tens of thousands of kilometers in this victory.
Of course, Ryan can't monopolize such a large amount of land. The dark elves must share some of the profits. This is also a tacit understanding of courtesy. Of course, these lands are still within the domain of the Beholder Clan. The next gambling battle is likely to start from The illithids or Titans can win new trophies, and it is also possible to win back the bets lost by Thor demons, Rakshasa demons and other allies. When the war is over, the land under Ryan's name is likely to be everywhere in other worlds, and even It is very likely that some territories are located in territories ruled by hostile forces. It is neither safe nor too far apart to directly manage these territories. Therefore, according to the practice of other worlds, there will be an ongoing battle between the various forces after the Thousand Years War. After a long period of negotiation, everyone's spoils and scattered lands were exchanged equally, so that the scattered lands could be gathered back and connected to the territory of the tribe to facilitate management in the next thousand years.
The Titan Alliance quickly sent out candidates to challenge, and an illithid entered the gambling arena sitting on a slave. This was also a special case in the Millennium War, because the illithid itself was extremely weak in combat and had to rely on a large number of Because of the effectiveness of slaves, even in one-on-one battles, strong illithid monsters are allowed to bring their own slaves.
Of course, there are many restrictions here, the most important one is that there cannot be existences of the same level, because although some illithids are powerful enough to control slaves of the same level of strength, there is no way to guarantee the same level of strength in battle. The slaves must be really controlled. For example, the Queen of the Night can completely force twenty strong men from the Titan field to one strong person from the Illithid field. In this way, who can be her opponent under such a huge disparity in numbers? ,
There is no limit to the number of slaves an illithid can carry, because there is an upper limit to the mental power of an illithid. Controlling the slaves will occupy these mental powers. If it exceeds its own limit, it will not be able to control them with arms and fingers. , and it is very likely that the slaves will escape from their own control. These slaves may not really obey the illithid master. If they break away from the illithid's will at a critical moment and take a bite, the illithid itself will only suffer.
Therefore, the only requirement in this regard is that illithid monsters are not allowed to replenish slaves from outside the battlefield, so as to prevent them from using this rule to continuously obtain slaves used to consume the opponent's strength to obtain additional benefits, but replenishing them in the battlefield Servants are not subject to this restriction. This is the same as Ryan summoning the Prince of Fire Elements. As long as the battlefield is sealed off and isolated from inside and outside, it doesn't matter how many elemental creatures Ryan summons to assist in the battle, because all of this is at the expense of consuming his mana. , and without this restriction, if Ryan brings in Allendo, Victor, and Galib from the venue to help him fight, it will be equivalent to increasing his own strength out of thin air without paying the price. Obviously, this will be detrimental to his gambling opponents. It's unfair,
Ryan looked through the information in his hand, and couldn't help but be surprised by the attentiveness of these kings from the other world, but if he thought about it carefully, it didn't matter. After all, the Thousand Years War has been carried out so many times, and after such a long time, there should be no loopholes. Once it has been used, it will be discovered. After repairing it, it will naturally look much better. There is no need for Ryan to worry about this aspect. As for the illithid opponent opposite, its information is actually of little use to Ryan, because Illithids are extremely weak physically but extremely powerful mentally. They can almost only choose one profession, so Ryan doesn't need to look to know that his opponent can only be a magician.
However, what truly reflects the combat effectiveness of illithids, in addition to their intelligence, is also related to the slaves controlled by each illithid. In a sense, illithids can be regarded as members of a mercenary group. Commander, how much power this mercenary group can exert and what kind of combat style it belongs to depends on the professional combination of other members of the mercenary group, and the strong person in the field of illithids must keep this a secret. Even if you have shown a certain style in the past, it may quietly change during this gambling battle. These can only be discovered through actual combat.
In the last battle against the Eye of the Overseer, Ryan discovered that the Queen of the Night did not randomly throw out a candidate to die in vain. Although he won the bet, something was also exposed, but it was not Ryan. The real trump card, there is nothing to worry about, but in any case, the Queen of the Night achieved her goal. As for what kind of mission the illithid strongman will bring this time, Ryan has not guessed for a while. He and This is not the first time that Illithid has dealt with it. He had already experienced it once in the underground of the dwarf Blackstone City. That time, Ryan was lucky enough to be aware of the danger in advance, but don't forget that he was only in a relatively narrow space underground in Blackstone City at that time, and that time The illithid who had only fled to the human world did not know Ryan's strength. As for the illithid opponent in front of him, Ryan did not believe that it knew nothing about him.
"An enemy who is familiar with himself, well, you might as well assume that I am the illithid." Ryan said to himself in his heart: "It would be difficult for a group of legendary pinnacle-level slaves to conduct a frontal offensive and defensive battle. What role does it play? After all, I only need to activate the Forbidden Magic a few times to destroy the entire position. On the contrary, if some thieves who are good at concealing their whereabouts are allowed to lurk under the protection of the powerful spiritual power of the illithids and compete with me for patience, Then slowly wait for me to show my flaws, maybe there is still a chance, yes, this is it."
Thinking of this, Ryan nodded decisively, and then began to think about his own countermeasures. An opponent who deliberately hides will definitely delay the time of this gambling fight, but the secret technique of mental vibration that Ryan possesses can allow him to move very quickly. Mana is restored quickly, so even in long-term or high-intensity battles, mana will not be exhausted. However, these are Ryan's real trump cards, and they will naturally not be exposed in a battle of this level.
In the last battle with the Eye of the Overseer, the Queen of the Night originally planned to use anti-magic rays to evaluate Ryan's destructive ability, but Ryan used the method of resurrection to crack it. This time, the Queen of the Night planned to use the illithid to test Ryan's durability. Of course, Ryan would not let her plan succeed, so he decided to repeat his old tricks and teach the Queen of the Night an impressive lesson.
The gambling area used to be a battlefield between the Titans and the Dark Elves, and many large-scale battles broke out. The largest battle involved a total of more than 10 million troops invested by both sides. Such a fierce war would naturally lead to quite tragic battles. The bodies of those warriors from the two tribes who died on the battlefield provided Ryan with inexhaustible materials for the resurrection of the dead. In addition to this aspect, in such a huge area, it is impossible not to have fierce battles in areas rich in Warcraft such as mountains and forests. It is impossible to affect every situation in the area. Didn't that Eye of the Warlord also charm a group of Warcraft to open a void passage to attract soul hunters to cross the border
Turning over the map of the gambling battle battlefield in his hand, Ryan quickly located the mountain forest closest to him. It was not affected by the war. There should be more Warcraft for him to use. Speaking of which, Ryan still had no choice. He accepts things like using the corpses of soldiers who died in battle to launch resurrection magic. His purpose in coming to this other world is to prevent such encounters from ever happening in the human world. In this case, how can he do the same thing in other planes? Well, so Ryan finally set his sights on those monsters,
