When the sky overhead returned to normal, and the Milky Way and the night returned to normal, the terrifying declaration of the gods was completely over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Leaving aside the impact of this declaration of the gods, everyone present can feel the wind and rain coming. Except for Heloise, who knew something before, even I didn’t expect Ayer to be so decisive. It was so determined to start, it was so clear that it broke with the Holy Light system.
"Consequences? The relationship with Shengguang? Do whatever you want, do whatever you want, and I will support you."
Leaving those words, Ayer's avatar disappeared without a trace.
Boss Ayer's free and easy, sometimes very speechless, but also admit that he does have the strength to not be afraid of the Holy Light's side, and his vision is still vicious, now is indeed the most suitable time to make a choice.
The undead army is here, the plane invasion is unstoppable, and the holy war can be said to have started in an all-round way. Now it is the most suitable key point to take the lead in declaring war and seize the momentum.
Well, since they are all grabbing the height and hot spots of public opinion, it is not wrong to say grabbing the headlines.
Just outside our forest, the current situation has not changed. The undead army of the six planes has successfully landed, the plane space has been permanent, and the undead natural disaster has taken shape, no matter what the reason for their coming here is, but the next One step will do what has already come out - war.
Yes, whether it is justifiable or not, whether it is just in their own eyes, this is still a war, a war of aggression, a big war destined to be bloodshed.
The undead want to establish a country, but there is no longer their country. Time has passed, and the sea has changed. This is the country of the Bayer Empire. The returnees of the homeland do have the right to return to their homeland. Then, thousands of people have lived here. Don't the residents of a hundred years have the right to protect their homes and territories
In many cases, the outbreak of war is not because of the so-called justice and evil, but just the struggle for living space.
A king can make his subjects cooperate with dangerous terrorists, but he can't make his people abandon their homeland no matter what, no, such words can't even be said. All citizens will regard him as a mortal enemy, and no matter how loyal his subjects are, they will raise the flag of rebellion.
The citizens can accept a small number of intelligent undead as the upper-class nobles, but it does not mean that they are willing to be ruled and enslaved by the undead. The super empire has its own pride, and the Bayer people with strong self-esteem cannot accept the enslavement of foreigners at all.
I don't know what Esso's original plan was. By this time, when the fundamental interests of the two sides conflicted, the contradiction between the two sides could no longer be reconciled, and the war had broken out.
"I want to go back to the capital, and I want to ask His Majesty Oros to clarify!"
After negotiating a certain matter, Helent was still worried about the situation in the capital. He would definitely go back and have a look. There was the Dragon Rider Brigade along with him. In order to strengthen his determination to have a good fight with the emperor, I also gave it to him. A research report on the Tears of Casoran, as well as conspiracies that the undead may make, such as large-scale transformation of the undead.
Of course, there are also doubts about the blunt reaction and unreasonableness of the upper echelons of the empire so far, and a little suggestion on how to mobilize the masses if the situation is not good.
"Helent, Rainy Night City should also be prepared for war. If the undead plan to attack Rainy Night City directly after the reorganization is completed, you can consider contacting the Kingdom of Mage, maybe it will be more effective than asking the capital for help, by the way. , Since the opponent is the undead, don't forget the Holy Church, what a good volunteer cannon fodder."
After listening to my words, Helent hesitated for a moment, but did not refute. It seemed that he had listened.
Since the time of the undead invasion, the Republic of Tucker, the Empire of Baier, and the Kingdom of Mage have, as mentioned in the system quest "Three Snakes Killing", are three intertwined giant pythons, surrounding the living space and surrounding Hegemony, conflicts of interest between each other are inevitable.
The Bayer Empire and the Kingdom of Mage are already hostile, and there have been countless wars between the Kingdom of the Undead and the Kingdom of the Living for the living space. It seems that each of the three parties is in a hostile relationship with the other two. , The relationship between the three kingdoms is all too familiar.
Prevent? What to stop it? To use an old saying that is not very appropriate, in the face of the wheel of history, any blocker is a stupid man. Occupying six planes and possessing twelve demigod undead emperors, the Republic of Tucker is fully spread out, and personal strength and even one or two legions have become meaningless. It is a confrontation between great powers and great powers.
In front of these three behemoths, my small foundation in the north is not even a fraction of a cent. We must first have at least four or two strengths to move a thousand pounds. We can only count as a little finger now.
Still want to mediate? Wait until they prove that they can't eat their opponents in one bite with enough sacrifices, or they can suppress the power of the three parties, directly suppress them, and force them to negotiate peacefully.
Among these three parties, Tucker's undead are disgraceful invaders and enemies of the plane. If they successfully enter the Bayer Empire, whether it is massacre to create legion reserves or large-scale transformation of undead tribesmen, all It is impossible for the inhabitants of the main plane to accept.
Peace is what all parties expect, but it seems impossible in a short period of time. So, let's keep a peaceful fire first.
Esso may have seen through everything. He gave me another goal of these memories. Maybe he also asked me to mediate in the name of a third party when the conditions allowed. As the god of the sleepless, the former undead emperor, I am afraid that I was also a mediator acceptable to both parties.
The best result he expected was to occupy more than half of Bayer's territory, and then reach a diplomatic peace through mediation and other forces, but this goal would probably not be accepted by the Bayer Empire, let alone lost because of it. If the land and relatives' citizens and nobles accept it, then you must fight well and use your strength to make the other party accept it.
The undead are still building fortifications and forming legions, and judging from the current performance of the undead, the next strategic layout is already obvious. On the premise of not touching the third party, try to gather troops as much as possible and prepare to deal with it. Great War, and once they're ready...
"With the increase of troops at the gate of the plane, the existing area will be insufficient sooner or later. If the undead start to expand their own territory, the Dream Forest in the west and the Rainy Night City in the east will probably become the front lines of this war. Maybe, it's going to be lively on both sides."
In a sense, Helent's preparation is not only right, but will play a crucial role in the future. If the Bayer Empire is ready to take on a full-scale battle, Rainy Night City will become the first line of defense and a strong city to defend against the invasion of the undead.
"At that time, probably many 'contract warriors' will run to join in the fun. And on our side, the situation in the Forest of Dreams will also change..."
I don't think the undead at this stage will have the courage to lay down the forest of dreams. After all, the will of the plane is so difficult to deal with. I am afraid that the great emperors know that siege instead of attacking is the most suitable way, but this does not mean the forest of dreams. Can not take the initiative to attack the undead! Will not become the confidant of the undead empire.
The undead will inevitably turn around the gate of the plane into their own defense territory, and the only blind spot is probably the dream forest that is already an independent plane, but this forest is still a famous port, and the forest is close to the sea. There is a very good deep-water port on that side, and on the opposite side of the sea is the kingdom of mages. This is simply the most natural outpost.
Whether it is used to defend the Bayer Empire or the possible offensive of the undead, the kingdom of mages will definitely send people there. Maybe in order to prevent exchanges, there will be two long-term routes for those adventurers who do not belong to any force. contact.
"The kingdom of mages will definitely come, and maybe it will bring several legions. And having an absolutely safe station will definitely attract many future point hunters."
Whether it is the birthplace of the wood spirit clan or an outpost of jihad, this place will soon prosper due to the flow of people, and maybe it will be able to make a fortune in war and become one of the most prosperous capitals in the world, but as a The front line of the confrontation between the living and the dead must also continue to smoke here, and the wood spirit family seems to be destined to grow up in the war.
When it comes to jihad, in fact, the original imaginary enemy is not the sudden arrival of the undead. After all, it is Ayer himself, and it is impossible to predict the arrival of the undead.
The primary goal that was originally expected was the various elemental beings awakened by the God of Elements. They are not powerful, and they are also suitable for training and novice growth. Apart from them, they can also curb the rise of the element tide, which is obviously a good thing for jihad.
The most important thing is the weaker "novice monsters", which will deepen the connection between the "newcomers" and Ayer's forces, establish a preliminary relationship of trust, and the "closed beta" adventurers who successfully get rewards will become legends in the mouths of their peers. Attract newcomers to the industry, and gradually expand the camp of foot men. The body of the element can also become the material for making magic items and recover the cost. Therefore, I strongly recommend marking them as the primary target in the report.
But now that the undead have taken the initiative to crash in, it is impossible for them to be counted in, but both Rainy Night City and the Forest of Dreams have solid defenses. There should not be a tragic situation where a rookie rookie encounters the ultimate BOSS on the spot.
Another big battlefield that has been opened is also our old acquaintance, the front line of Kagsi, the capital of the Oro Empire, where the sea clan is still engaged in a tug-of-war with humans, and the sea clan who believe in Ms. Storm is obviously on the Chaos side. It also fully conforms to the actual combat standard.
Of course, considering the sea clan's combat power in the water, it seems that it is no less difficult than the undead defense line, and lack of strength is basically equal to death.
I mentioned this to Heloise once, and she was more open than I thought.
"… Dangerous? High risk has high reward, otherwise why would you get the blessing of the gods. Besides, we are not babysitters, and the warriors who dare to sign contracts are also adults who can be responsible for themselves. Do you think the current opponent is dangerous, Wouldn't future opponents be more dangerous? Real warriors only need to be killed in a sea of corpses and blood. Since the elimination mechanism has been formulated to keep the strong and eliminate the weak, why are you hesitating?"
"Yeah, since he's already on the front line for the gift of the gods, and he's not a civilian who hasn't seen blood, how could he not even be mentally prepared for this."
In a sense, I did underestimate the inhabitants of this plane. Their environment is different from my previous life. The warriors who are engaged in the adventurer industry have long been different from the commoners. They have long danced on the tip of a knife to make a living. How could a professional fighter rush to the battlefield without preparation, and a reckless man who rushed forward without assessing his strength would have already died on the road in the past.
Instead of thinking about these, it is better to consider how to deal with this huge Three Kingdoms War that is destined to be involved.
But doing nothing is obviously not in my habit.
"Samantha, it looks like your mother will be sleeping for a while, but there are things you can do."
"Temperance" Samantha is a wood spirit with bright red hair. She is not only the current patriarch of the wood spirit clan, but also the eldest sister of the Seven Virtues, but what is strange is that she is obviously the incarnation of the rose representing enthusiasm, but she is always cold Face, cherish words like gold.
She, who belongs to the same genus Rosa as Rosa, is also very similar to Rosa in appearance, and they are like twins. For a long time, they have lived together with Amyra, and they have a deep understanding of me, but they are friendly. Unlike Rosa, who is timid, Samantha seems to have a lot of opinions on me. A blank face is a good face, and a stinky face is normal.
"Say."
"Probably, you will soon encounter many visitors here, and their targets are mostly the undead. I hope you can do three things. First, keep those visitors alive as much as possible. Second, provide an attraction Their resources, such as the fruit of thick soil that increases their physique. Well, they can be exchanged for justice points or large amounts of gold, but pay attention to the limit. Third, strengthen communication with other races and integrate into this world as soon as possible Come in."
When it comes to rich treasures, there are few people who can compare to the master of the plane. This is how a small business can't compare to a bank. The former is to make money, the latter is to print money, and the master of the plane is the one who prints money. of.
Special fruits that increase basic attributes such as strength, agility, and physique, nectar that restores stamina and magic power, and detoxification grass that heals poisonous poison. I have seen these magical things. The latter two may have alternatives to alchemy, but this This kind of thing that fundamentally changes a person's foundation and talent is extremely precious. With just these local specialties, there will be countless strong people who will sacrifice their lives for the wood spirit.
Of course, this is not unlimited. Fruits that permanently increase basic attributes also require a lot of resources in the forest to produce, and the number is limited, and the creative ability of Amyra's Dream Forest is limited to fruits and plants. It can gain and debuff the creatures that eat it.
And as the holy war progresses, I am afraid that justice points will become a more valuable currency than gold coins. Perhaps, just with this new concept and prosperous business, the goddess of wealth will go a step further, and these are just the beginning, I It is estimated that every true god on Ayer's side will benefit from this action.
At least I know that every contract, every fair exchange, will make the concept of contract and the contract patron saint, the Sleepless, stronger, and after that declaration, the number of devout believers is increasing day by day, other gods Mostly so.
"This is destined to be a long battle, don't let the warriors die for nothing. It's also for your mother's sake."
I'm not lying, the flesh and soul of the dead on this land will become the nourishment for the Forest of Dreams. As long as the sacrifices of the bloody battle are abundant, Amyra will not only wake up, but also become stronger than before. After all, from In a sense, the entire Dream Forest is her body, and the wood spirits are all her symbiotics.
Samantha nodded and agreed.
Looking at Samantha who was leaving quietly, I was also a little relieved. The little girl looked at me with too poisonous eyes, and the sadness and anger in it were even more uncomfortable, as if I really owed her something. Thinking of those things in the past, these little guys have probably seen it, and that inexplicable sense of guilt always makes me feel like a bad father who didn't pay the child support.
"Sister Samantha is very happy. It seems that she is very happy that her father asked her to help with things." Little Rosa jumped out to demolish her sister's stage.
What, that stinky face is actually happy, I was shocked and quickly asked Rosa how she saw it.
"Dad, didn't you see it? Don't look at my sister's stern face. In fact, she has long been elated. You can see the vines behind my sister's head jumping, like a puppy's tail... woohoo."
Well, the vines suddenly extending from the treetops tied Rosa, but seeing the blushing young lady not far away, I kind of understand these little things.
On the other side, next to a small stream, the first artificial building of the Forest of Dreams has been completed. It is a small stone court. He has only four or five hundred square meters and seven or eight rooms, but its doorway, But there is a balance emblem. Yes, it is the branch church and court of the Law Church in Dream Forest.
Its predetermined role, in addition to providing some justice points exchange for future contract warriors, is also a place to publicize the doctrine of the God of Law, and even provide employment in the legal profession. With each passing day, not only contracts are used in traditional business fairs, but also adventure partners and hired force have found the Church of the God of Law, and the "team contract" has also become a best-seller.
As a branch church of the front-line diocese, its first regional bishop is naturally very important. She is…
"Chloe, are you ready?"
"Well, those wood spirits communicate very well, and their understanding of the law is also very fast. It is estimated that it will not be long before our church also has the first batch of wood spirit law professionals."
Filled with a smile full of happiness, in addition to being able to do their favorite jobs in the elves' favorite forest, the wood spirits promised to cultivate a special plant potion for them to change her. 's physique.
Well, it is estimated that everyone knows what it is, and it is nothing more than the plant version of "Male Drowning Spring", which is indeed in line with the ability of the Dream Forest.
But the rules have been set, even if it is Kolos, you have to earn points to exchange, and if it is targeted research and development, I am afraid that you will have to pay additional research and development costs, which is not a decimal.
Chloe, who was busy up and down with a bright smile, was not able to say the truth about my morale.
"The support of the church will come soon. With your popularity in the church and those weird fans, I think even if you are willing to spend 10,000 points to develop that thing, your colleagues are willing to spend 30,000 points to stop the research and development. Success. Even if you succeed in developing the 'Male Drowning Spring', the other party has already successfully researched the 'Mother Drowning Spring'."
