Chapter five hundred and thirty fifth strange thing

As the war in Iversa gradually became fierce, the Tasman Empire at this end of the Gondora Mountains was still calm in the drizzle.

The battle between the "Awakeners" and the rebels did not seem to have affected the stable rule within the undead. The gathered army began to change directions. The first undead army with a total of more than 50,000 was divided into an army of 20,000 people under the order of Emperor Augustine, and began to march towards the territory of the outer "Lambs", with the purpose obviously to calm the so-called "freedom liberation" movement.

The concept of 20,000 troops mentioned here is completely different from that of humans or orcs. The undead's logistics almost does not need to consider the issue of "baggage". Therefore, the proportion of logistics troops in the Tasman army is very small, and it is difficult to reach 1:1 or even higher like humans.

In other words, these 20,000 troops have real combat power. Any undead soldier has standard equipment of leather armor or above, metal long swords and at least three years of combat training experience. It is undoubtedly "crushing" to use these professional soldiers to deal with the rebels of varying quality.

Because of this, Augustine, who gave the order, no longer worried about the so-called "resistance army" forces. He was using several drops of "exotic species" - that is, Tifflin's blood - to cast the "Great Tracking Sword".

The wave-like magic waves emanate from Augustine's magic wand. The blood dripping floating in the air was wrapped in light, and red lights separated the blood. As Augustine's spell was cast, the magic waves that fluctuated in the air gradually disappeared, leaving only a pattern composed of faint blood in front of Augustine.

The undead spells have not been studied in "tracking", so even if you cast the spell with Augustine's strength of level 60, it is impossible to immediately confirm the specific location of the Tifflin tribe.

This is the shortcoming of the magic system. If no one has conducted more profound research and optimization of this spell, then even if the demigod comes, the effect will not be better. Augustine can only infer Taflin's position through vague patterns. Fortunately, he has extremely high magic attainments, and the inference results are still clear at the moment:

"In this direction, the number of areas outside 160 kilometers is about 200..."

After knowing where the target was, Emperor Augustine was not vague and immediately wrote a secret letter and handed it to the nearby servant beside him: "Tell Yugesa that I want him to reply to me the news of the capture of the alien species within three days."

"Yes, your Majesty!"

Such an action will naturally not be completed by parliamentary discussions, and it is entirely done by Augustine's dispatch of a direct subordinate. Yugesa is the best among the younger generation of mages. Because it is currently in operation with 20,000 "Qing Rebel Army", it is most appropriate for him to directly carry out this task with the undead troops at hand.

After the order was issued, Augustine looked at the "Great Tracking Technique" pattern that had gradually dissipated and sighed secretly: "It would be great if there was a mage who specialized in prophecy... there was no need to spend so much effort."

If there is a mage who is proficient in prophecy here, not only the number and direction, but also the precise position of Tifflin can be drawn directly on the map.

Unfortunately, the Tasman's undead had no similar inheritance at all, which made Emperor Augustine quite regretful.

*******

Speaking of the prophecy mage, Houdini, who was in Elson City, happened to encounter something strange at this moment.

After forming a strategic cooperation agreement with Roddy, most laboratories in Elson City Magic Tower were directly opened to him, which was almost equivalent to opening the door to a "new world" for Houdini: although he could not understand the high-elf text, many instruments and magic circles in the magic laboratory were of great help to his magic research.

After conducting a lot of intelligence detection for Roddy, Houdini, who has been idle, has been spending almost all the time in the laboratory these days. After all, Elson City is calm and there is no place to help him at the moment. Before Roddy comes back, it is the most important thing to satisfy his curiosity.

So Houdini was fascinated by the "resonance array" in the middle of the magic tower, and even didn't bother to read the report letters of his apprentice participating in the battle.

The function of the "resonance magic array" can be simply interpreted as "spell amplification", such as allowing "energy detection" with a radius of five kilometers to expand the range of action to fifteen kilometers through the magic array. Although the detection effect will become blurred, the significance of the expansion of the detection area is self-evident. Houdini has been constantly casting spells in the past few days to record the difference between spells before and after, and even wrote a signed paper.

But just now, the amplified "energy detection" suddenly had a violent fluctuation record.

There are quite a few differences between prophetic spells and other spells. Usually, various "props" are used to display the casting results when casting. After the simple prophetic spell "energy detection" is amplified by the magic array, it tells the caster the result through the "magic powder" modulated on the central "casing platform" - the greater the individual energy, the larger the circle displayed by the "magic powder" on this table.

Before this, Houdini's record was the same every time: Elson City has several small circles, and the outer forest is blank. This is a building with energy reactions and mages like Camilla in the city, but as an individual mage's energy reaction, it is almost negligible when comparing the energy of the building.

But at this moment, a huge circle that occupied one-third of the platform appeared in front of Houdini... This shows that something with energy that is almost the sum of Elson City now appears within the detection range.

"How is it possible..."

Houdini felt that he had made a mistake, so he immediately spread the "magic powder" and cast the spell again-

"What is this?"

There is still a huge circle in the pattern that appears again on the platform, but compared to just now, the circle has moved a little to the other side.

Houdini's forehead was filled with cold sweat. He felt that this should be a deviation in somewhere in the magic circle, because in terms of energy levels, Houdini had never heard of any individual that could be comparable to the energy of a city.

Even if the Speaker of Rassiman Parliament comes, it will not be so exaggerated!

He quickly cleared his casting materials and carefully cleaned the "resonance array". When he cast the spell again, he did not have the strange "energy group" before.

"I'll just say..."

Houdini breathed a sigh of relief, affirmed her inner thoughts, and then continued to record the data silently.

*******

"It has been confirmed that there are human troops in the southeastern villages. I saw them hanging the bodies of the nobles in the middle of the village, and there are traces of fighting nearby..."

"That's right," Roddy finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Nata's report, "Come in and warm up, I have someone make hot soup..."

Nata's lips were indeed purple because of the rain, but when Roddy heard such caring words, the warmth in her heart seemed to dispel the cold. She nodded, took the replaced dry clothes from Akasha and entered the house next to her. Roddy turned around and walked into the manor hall that originally belonged to Lord Pochi, continuing the "review" that had not been completed before.

Seven or eight Tifflins were sitting around the warm conference hall, and Elder Luther was also present. They were silent and silent, looking at Roddy's expression, just as nervous as the employees coming to the interview were looking at the personnel director.

Through the observations of the open and secrets of the past few days, Elder Luther obviously understood his current position. He knew very well that if he wanted to survive now, the Tifflins must show the side that they could be exploited... If Roddy lets treat his tribe as a "burden", then there is no need to say more about his fate in the future.

So he deliberately found an opportunity and called the young hunters of the clan who were the strongest in the clan to try to "display their strength" in front of Roddy. Roddy didn't say nonsense and said bluntly that he asked them to go together, and the result... Elder Luther felt frightened when he recalled it now.

"Your strength, speed and reaction are good, but you have not been trained in a systematic way, so it is normal to have such a result."

Roddy's eyes swept over the young Tavelins with bruised noses and swollen faces - two of them had broken ribs, but because of their strong self-healing ability, they did not cry out in pain. He commented a few times, then pointed at one of the guys and asked Luther, "How did he do it just now? Will others do it?"

The language of the younger generation of Tifflin has changed and cannot understand Roddy's words. Luther hurriedly replied: "Some young hunters will gain some strange abilities when they are adults. There have been similar examples before, but those children... have not returned."

This information is very important. Roddy already knows that the Tifflins do not have the skills taught by their mentors, and some people now have the magical ability to shorten their body length obviously has to do with their "demon subspecies".

For Roddy, this is equivalent to picking up a treasure.

Having a tail means having quick movement and ability to escape. The basic physical quality is higher than that of humans, with strong self-healing ability and night vision. Occasionally, a few guys with special talents appear, such as those who just can stretch their arms out one meter at once... No matter how you look at this kind of person, they are the first choice for performing tasks such as agents or assassinations!

What's more, they did not serve in any demons or organizations, they were just a group of "wild" poor people with demonic blood.

Although Roddy knew what Luther meant, he had to sigh that he was really the right move... because what Elson lacked the most now is all kinds of talents!
Chapter completed!
