For the enemy who is about to fight, investigating intelligence is the basic homework. From the perspective of the warrior, this is respect for the enemy and for oneself, and starting from Roja's own ideas, it is for insurance.
Carefully sail the ship for thousands of years. In the world of Shia, the extraordinary people who died because of the strange ability of the enemy are like crucian carp who crossed the river. The grass at the head of the grave can be connected into a prairie. As a careful professional since childhood, Luo Ya is obviously It is impossible to make such a mistake.
And this time the opponent King of Alien Species is indeed very strange. Until now, Roja has not been able to figure out the opponent’s fighting method. In desperation, he can only try his luck with his contemporaries, Gurandal, but Unexpectedly, the huge bones would actually say so.
On the blood-colored plain, the black-haired young man slowly frowned as he looked at Gurandall in front of him, and the atmosphere around the huge skeleton became serious. He thought for a moment and slowly said:
"Bangal, the king of orcs, this name is well-known in our time, and I am familiar with it. After all, the orcs are one of the races under the command of the savior, and the number is also the largest in the total force."
"So, is it the main race?"
"Well, it can be regarded as a few races with a lot of say under the dragons and angels."
As he said this, Gurandal looked into the distance, seeming to remember something, while Roja nodded slightly, understanding the relationship between the alien and the savior in his heart.
The Orcs, as one of the main fighting powers of the Savior, must have a closer relationship with the Savior than other races. After the Fall of the Savior, the more closely related races will be affected. The birth of aliens may be because this.
"Orcs, what happened afterwards? I want to ask this kind of question, but you can't answer it."
"Well, I was here at that time, and I didn't know anything about the outside world.
"That's it, but in any case, since it was the old ministry of the savior in the past, with his recovery, the strength of aliens will gradually increase, which means that in the long run, the situation of war will be detrimental to mankind."
"Presumably it will be so, but compared to their army, what you should really worry about is Bangal, because he has the same existence as us."
"..."
Looking at the giant who was talking like this, the black-haired boy blinked and fell into silence, his expression becoming very solemn.
The "we" that Gurandar said is not someone else. It refers to the ancient gods, including Gurandar, who signed a contract with Roja, which means that Bangal, just like its name in the past, was able to A king named as a race, one of the living god-level existences comparable to that of Gurandal and others.
The existence at the apex of a race, such a monster no longer exists in this human era. The death god who assassinated Roja in previous historical fragments is completely incomparable. It can be said to be a powerful enemy that has never been seen before. Importantly, Bangal is different from other orc kings.
"Bangal is the most outstanding curse genius in orc history, one of the high priests of the savior, and the only orc king crowned by curse."
"Rely on spells?"
"Yes, the mythical creatures of ancient times, especially our giants and orcs, have their extraordinary powers too partial to the flesh. There are very few true conjurers, and even those who want to become the king of the entire race as a warlock are almost impossible. Possibly, but Bangal did it."
Muscular idiots with strong flesh look down on conjurers, and this situation is also present in humans, such as the kingdom of knights who are martial arts, and even more so in races like orcs.
Under the influence of unfavorable traditions, it is almost impossible to reach the top of the Orcs by virtue of such a fighting method, and it is also a great achievement that only Bangal has achieved.
"Bangal's bloodline ability is not just a simple attack, it is also a spell method. Now that you have been attacked and attacked, your chances of winning a battle with him again will be further reduced."
"Gurandal, you seem to know him very well?"
"Well, we belonged to the same camp. He was one of the few people I recognized in that era. I originally thought that under his leadership, the orcs could reach a new peak. I didn't expect that the final result would be Destroy..."
"...That's it."
Looking at the rare Gurandal with a lot of emotion, Roja’s golden pupils slowly contracted, further realizing the strength of the enemy this time, but it is obvious that even if it is an old friend from the ancient times, he will not show mercy to Roja’s men. , But may use his familiarity with giants to counter Loya.
Thinking of these, the black-haired young man became more vigilant in his heart and began to learn about the enemy's situation from the tall giant. Gulandal also realized something, and it was rare that he began to tell the enemy's possible tricks one by one.
On the plain, the two people exchanged information about the enemy in this way, but what the black-haired boy didn't know was that an unknown meeting was also going on in the king city on the other side.
-------------------------------------------------- --------------
In the courtyard of the tower, the black-haired boy gradually fell into a deep sleep, and in front of him covered by a faint light, the white-haired witch did not devote himself to the new job, but the smile on her face slowly disappeared. , Looking at the sleeping Roya, fell silent.
Although I usually meet quite a few times, it is the first time that Roja and Altacia have met in a awake state. It is the first time to see such a young man who fell asleep directly in front of her. The white-haired witch is also a little curious.
Unlike when he was awake, Roja had a unique sense of calm at this time. Although the battle-tested body looked okay, it had a lot of small wounds, and the cheeks that had been supporting it were completely relaxed. A wave of fatigue emerged.
Although Junxiu's appearance has not changed, it is different from when he is awake. It doesn't make people want to rely on, but makes people feel a little distressed. After all, for a soldier, the boy's body is actually not strong, even a little thin.
Akane's eyes contracted slightly, and after staring at Roja in front of him for a long time, Altasia's body couldn't help but slowly approached. She stepped forward and stretched out her hand, carefully touching the cheek of the sleeping boy, just like touching Yi Yi Be careful like broken glass.
"...Finally, has this turning point been reached?"
After a long silence, Altasia's mouth uttered such a murmur, and the expression on her face became more complicated. She squinted her eyes so worried as to look at the boy's chest, and then the healing light in her hand became even more dazzling.
The damaged heart kept repairing, and the light on Roja's body continued to flicker like this. It wasn't until a long time later that the worries on Altasia's face faded slightly. She got up and wanted to leave. However, halfway through her movements, she stopped suddenly and stared. The sleeping face and body of the boy in front of him fell into a static state.
The white mist covering the sacred tower kept flowing beside them, watching the familiar cheeks, the expression on the white-haired witch's face changed for a long time and finally gradually became firm. There was a little red tide on her face, and her hand stroked the young man. His cheeks trembling slightly leaned down, but at the moment when he was about to approach Roya, a childish voice suddenly came from behind the witch.
"Oh? It's really beyond my expectation, do you have this kind of mind?"
"!"
At the moment when the words came to his ears, Altacia stood up abruptly and turned her head, Akane's eyes were filled with surprise and anger.
"you!"
"Hehe, it looks like something has disturbed you. I'm really sorry."
Looking at the angry witch not far away, the little brown-haired girl apologized with a smile, but there was not much apology in the words.
"Although it's not impossible to watch you just kiss him like this, I am more or less a person who signed a contract with him, so I can't let anyone with unknown origin come close to him."
"..."
In the mist, Idavia squinted her eyes slightly, her smile on her face was a little bit evil, but to her surprise, when she heard such words from her, Altacia, who was originally annoyed into anger, not only did not get angry, Instead, he became silent, and his anger gradually subsided.
"Huh? It surprised me, don't you refute it?"
"Rebut? Do I need that kind of thing? King of the Spirit Race, Edvia, you seem to have made a mistake in the chronological order, right? I was by his side long before you signed a contract with him."
"It's true, but it doesn't prevent you from being a suspicious guy, after all... I don't remember you as a witch."
"...I don't understand what you are talking about, don't remember me? Isn't that normal?"
Hearing Adavia's questioning, Altacia narrowed her eyes after a moment of silence and said faintly:
"As the evil god who was sealed for a felony at the very beginning of the creation of the world, he doesn't understand the witch who was born afterwards, right? After all, why do I have to be known by you?"
"Well, indeed, I left the world earlier, but unfortunately, this doesn't mean I don't know the world."
Looking at the witch with a calm face in front, Edvia's long hair gradually dispersed, and the aura around her body became heavier. She looked at the completely unfamiliar figure in the memory in front of her, and said faintly:
"Although it is a prison, thanks to the woman, the conditions in the church are pretty good, at least there are enough reading materials to pass the time."
"what?"
"The library in the sanctuary, there is an endless library of all people's lives. For thousands of years, I rely on the stories of the world to pass the time. Some people's lives are only a few words, and some people It's a book as thick as a book, and the witch, as a discipliner, has a wonderful life, but it's really strange... Why is there no you in it?"
"..."
In the face of Idavia's doubts, the white-haired witch king fell into silence for a while, and seeing Altacia like this, the girl's hair was completely scattered, and the evil aura grew stronger.
"How about what to say? If possible, I don't want to do it until the king chooses it."
"At this point, the same is true for me. I don't intend to be your enemy. After all... For him, you are a must."
"Oh? You really care about him. How about clarifying things like that?"
"..."
After hearing Altacia’s words, the brown-haired girl raised her eyebrows and said, while the witch fell silent again. The voice came suddenly.
"...If you want to know, how about you see for yourself?"
"what?"
"If it's you, it's okay to see other people's souls, right?"
Facing Altasia's words, Idavia couldn't help but frown. As the king of the spirit race, she could indeed observe the souls of others at will, but the question with her was somewhat unanswered. After all, Ida What Via cared about was the identity of the witch in front of him, not the appearance of the soul.
The girl who thought of this raised her eyebrows, but the negative words came to her lips but stopped, because the evil god looking at Altacia found that the white-haired witch's expression was very calm, and it seemed that what she said was not an excuse.
Serious
Adavia, who frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then narrowed his eyes to look at the white-haired witch, but after a moment, his eyes widened suddenly.
"how come... ... "
After a brief shock, Idavia murmured in confusion, but after a while, she seemed to think of something. She stared at the white-haired witch. After a long time, the expression on her face gradually calmed down, making her back cold. The evil breath also slowly receded.
"... So that's it, it seems that I am just taking care of my business."
"Yes, but I can understand."
Facing Edvia's words, the white-haired witch calmly replied. The brown-haired girl's face became complicated when she heard the words. She sighed, then turned around silently, and her breath gradually began to dissipate.
"I won't talk too much, only this point you can rest assured."
"Um."
"Then, I'm going to read a book, and I'll see you next time."
Saying hello in this way, the girl's figure slowly disappeared, and only Altacia and Loya were left in the courtyard for a time. The white-haired witch looked at the direction where the evil god was leaving and did not know what to think about. After a long time, she turned her head and looked again. To the young man, he let out a faint sigh.
"Really, I'm not in the mood..."
The disappointed witch murmured to herself, turned and walked towards the white mist where many lives were hidden.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------
The Battle of Scorched Earth, which was the first large-scale combat operation across the territory launched by the Allied Human Forces after half a year after the Battle of Stallo, was called the Scorched Earth because its main battlefield was in the Harvey Desert.
The Harvey Desert, a barren land that has not been paid attention to by the two warring parties for many years, has become known to the world because of this battle. However, for many generals in the Austin Empire, this battle can be said to have come. Sudden and strange.
According to the report of the intelligence agency, the operation was only a small-scale operation formulated by the Church of St. Mestre at the beginning, but it seemed that the trace of the King of Alien was accidentally discovered during the investigation, and it evolved into a one. Field assault.
Roselle Business United Nations, Pand, the country of knights, and Bronia, the country of scholars, successively decided to join the battle, intending to make a surprise attack on the king of aliens when there are not enough troops around him, and the Austin Empire got There was a lot of news in the evening, and I could only beat the drums and feint.
Soldiers are extremely fast. Everyone understands this truth. The joint army is large, and the communication is often not smooth due to interference from aliens. It is common to find that fighters are too late to inform the friendly forces. Therefore, the generals of the Austin Empire are about this decision. There are no doubts or objections.
And more importantly, the order received by the Austin Empire is the order of the highest military command of the coalition army. This organization composed of the kings of the human origin level 1 race adopts a voting system and has the highest command for alien warfare. Quan, at least on the front lines of the East, this paper order is above all else, even over the Austin Empire.
In the midst of such orders and the deep hatred of aliens, the Austin Empire army began to deploy quickly. The main combatants applauded this proactive plan. After frowning and sighing, the conservatives also began to spare no effort to prepare for the war. .
Everyone understands that in the current situation between humans and aliens, what a new large-scale battle represents. The soldiers are worried and looking forward to this battle. The shadow of destruction above the human head.
On the east frontline of the entire Austin Empire, the generals and soldiers were busy, preparing to launch a surprise attack, while in a dark room unknown where, a man with a cold face was at the end of the long table, looking at the emergency of various countries. The notice and the command of the joint army headquarters were silent, and across from him was a man with a vague face.
"Oh? It seems they have begun to doubt you, what are you going to do?"
Such an important battle, as the emperor of the Austin Empire, Lucas learned the news almost at the same time as all the soldiers. This kind of thing can be said to have never happened before, and such a situation, a man with a vague face. Naturally will not let it go.
Looking at Lucas on the opposite side, the [collector]'s tone was quite gloating. He took up the teacup in his hand and waited leisurely for the answer from the other party. It seemed that he wanted to see how anxious and depraved this man who had never been emotionally fluctuated. It's a pity that things didn't go as he wanted.
Under his doubts, Lucas’s face remained unchanged as in the past. In fact, Lucas knew about the suspicions and secret investigations of him within the coalition army, but he didn’t care and was silent. After a while, the unmoved Emperor His Majesty said lightly:
"I was suspected that it was caused by your chaos."
"Perhaps this is true... but we have also gotten the corresponding gains, like the current situation, isn't it?"
"...He is not dead yet, and has been rescued."
Through the intelligence sent by the believers of the savior these days, after a little analysis, Lucas said so. He has guessed the true purpose of the "scorched earth battle" in his heart, and upon hearing these words, the [collector] fell into a short period of time. silence.
The chain reaction brought about by Roja’s trap, and the resulting scorched earth battle, can be said to be unforeseen by the followers of the Savior. After all, in the past, the awakened of the Acate family had never been subjected to this. Attention.
Whether it is Vincent Acate over 700 years ago or Roy Acate over three hundred years ago, although their disappearance caused an uproar in the inner world, their influence on the surface world is extremely limited. Even the spread did not extend beyond the Church of St. Mestre, but this time Roja's situation was completely different.
After learning that Roja was trapped in the enemy's camp, most of the forces in the entire human world quickly reached an agreement in a short time and worked together to rescue him. This is completely beyond the scope of the savior believers in the human world. , After all, it is no longer the second era, and the world is no longer just the ancient Austin Empire.
In the past few years, under the constant blows of Roja and Antonio, the forces of the Fallen have been unable to influence the human world, and because of this, the cooperation with the Austin Emperor Lucas is particularly important.
The Emperor Lucas of the Austin Empire was not a cultist, nor was he a subordinate of [collector], but for their own interests, the two sides reached a relationship called cooperation and actually exploited each other.
Before the use value disappears, it is necessary to maintain this relationship. Therefore, after hearing Lucas' dissatisfaction, the [collector]'s mocking tone was slightly reduced, and the words also eased.
"He may not be dead yet, but he is coming soon. No one can fight against a race by himself, not even theirs."
"But he is not alone."
"You mean human offense? Hehe, no, you don't understand the ability of Bangal, the king of aliens in your mouth, otherwise you would never have such a worry."
After listening to Lucas's questioning, the vaguely-faced man said with a smile, and the atmosphere around him remained unchanged.
"Although the blockade of your intelligence really put us at a disadvantage, it has no effect on the ancient king, and the aliens are still powerful."
"The strength of the alien is not good for me, and you should come out in person to solve the remaining problems."
"I also want to solve the problem completely, but Bangal has awakened. He is not my puppet. It is his territory. I cannot go in and out freely, but even so, nothing will change."
"...I hope your words are not false."
After a moment of silence, the expressionless man said so coldly. He stood up and glanced at the figure at the end of the long table, and walked out of the room without saying a word.
