Faced with such a sophisticated conspiracy, Lin really didn't have many ways to crack it. But he didn't have to shirk the old emperor's request.
In my hometown, those big countries cannot just find someone to beat them up in order to show their force, so they can only use methods like military parades. If there is a chance, they must do it, and if there is no chance, they must create an opportunity.
The problem that someone has always been that they don’t have a good platform to display force, and they don’t want to beat people until they can’t take care of themselves for a trivial matter. Without enough demonstrations and a large number of victims to prove it, the deterrent effect is naturally insufficient.
Think about the famous strong men in the Lost Land, which one is not the result of a mountain of corpses and a sea of bones. It is exactly in line with the words of a traveler from his hometown: One general can achieve the goal of thousands of bones.
Twelve years ago, the Grand Duke of the Karlsruhe Empire was poached. That battle really shocked many young people. But such performance alone was not enough to negotiate with the 'Empire'.
So the old emperor's request was actually like asking a certain magician to prove that he was qualified to negotiate with the empire. He also thoughtfully provided a platform, a group of people who would be beaten to death and no one would feel sorry for him.
For such an opportunity, even if Lin did not say that he wanted it, he would not refuse it easily. However, the situation of human beings is a bit delicate now. In addition to the enemies coming across the gate of the abyss, there is another group of lost indigenous people. So Lin said
: "I will deal with the demons and the Lord of the Abyss, there is no problem. But those from the underground world..."
Before the magician could finish speaking, the old emperor said first: "There are people around you who are participating in this war. You should know what will happen to mankind if it falls into the hands of these traitors. So please deal with it together."
.I did not ask you to hunt down the people in the underground world and exterminate them. But on the surface, no one stained with human blood should be spared."
What the old emperor was talking about was naturally Ezio's group of children who came from elementary school and established a fraternity. With this group of people here, Lin was certainly no stranger to this war against the abyss. Even if he didn't take the initiative to ask them for information
Intelligence, there is always some news that will automatically flow into his ears.
An evil camp race that comes from the underground world and is dominated by half-orcs. The way they treat human captives is not just about enslaving them. When they are hungry, these people will also be used as food.
From the perspective of an orc, there is nothing wrong with finding something to eat when you are hungry. But from the perspective of a human, not many people can tolerate being slaughtered at will like a pig, cow or sheep.
'ingredients' for cooking.
Therefore, it is reasonable for the old emperor, who is also a human and rules the human empire, to make such a request.
Lin, who stressed that he was from Earth and not from Lost Earth, wanted to reject it. But after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.
If we only target demons, a few or even one robot fleet may be enough. But with the evil camp coalition forces from the underground world flowing to the west of the mountain range, a few fleets will not be able to catch up in time.
Defeat all enemies within one day.
You must know that among the enemies on the table now, the largest number are not the demons coming from across the border, but the orcs, gray dwarves, etc. that have emerged from the underground world.
The strength of demons lies in quality, not quantity. Just because the Lord of the Abyss has descended is unstoppable, you can know how terrifying this threat from the abyss is to the Lost Land.
In order to allow more Lords of the Abyss to pass through the portal, there are not so many ordinary demons that should be able to pass through freely. Because the fully opened Abyss Gate still has its restrictions on use.
Every passage of the Abyss Lord will make the portal state unstable. If you want to return to a stable state and continue to communicate between the two worlds, it will take time to calm down.
It is precisely because of such restrictions that the demons did not think about subverting the order of the Mysterious Land alone. Instead, they recruited races that were driven to the underground world by humans and were in the same evil camp, and used this method to increase their strength.
What's interesting is that, looking from the side, the evil camp is not of the same mind. Otherwise, some of them would not have stayed on the battlefield to the north of the Fengdi Mountains, and some would have gone to the west.
The euphemistic name is poor logistical supplies and insufficient food, so some troops must go to other places to raise food and share the pressure.
But with the Lord of the Abyss as the commander-in-chief, if he really wants to control this detachment of the army, will he be unable to do so? The reason why he does not do this must be due to other considerations. For example, increasing the number of flesh and blood or souls that can be used for sacrifice.
No matter what the basic thoughts of this army from the underground world are. Since they are on the same side as the devils, they cannot blame others for treating them like devils. Not to mention that their actions can be described as cruel. Worthy of sympathy.
Therefore, Lin nodded and agreed to the additional request made by the old emperor.
"As for!" the old emperor Armin Kazalnia said again. But this time he saw the obvious irritation of a certain magician, which was even higher than the impatience he showed before, and he knew that he was This should be enough. But he continued:
"Your Excellency once mentioned that the design of the war tower for counterattack should be disclosed to the entire magician community as general knowledge. I believe that those in need will naturally obtain it from the association, and you will also receive additional rewards. ."
This sentence seems to be mentioned casually, and it is a trivial matter, but there is no small thought in it.
Would a real magician like the war tower, a castrated version of the magic tower?
As someone had thought before, the real usefulness was the noble lord class. The old emperor thought more clearly that only the wealthy enough nobles could use the war tower to change the situation.
Nobles who are too weak are also likely to be eliminated. Local wealthy businessmen will take advantage of the situation to replace those eliminated nobles. This may seem like a bad thing, but in fact, it magnifies the situation, and in the long run, it is not necessarily bad.
In any case, the old emperor did not intend to let go of this invention that could change the current situation in Mysterious Land. However, he did not want to be at the forefront of the storm, so he hoped that the magician could make it public.
Anyway, this magician is preparing to do something even more outrageous. When the construction of the Twin Towers of the Gate begins, no one will focus on the knowledge of the War Tower, even if this knowledge harms the interests of the magicians.
Will the magicians settle the two accounts together? The old emperor also understood very well that anyway, one account had to be missed, and two accounts had to be missed, so he simply handled the matter together to save some effort.
Letting this magician come into contact with the magic tower again is enough to ignite the emotions of the entire world. A few more outrageous things will not make the situation worse.
As for the idea of monopolizing the knowledge of the War Tower, it seems very attractive, but in fact it is not very necessary. What the old emperor needs now is to disrupt the situation in Lost Land.
The Twin Towers of the Gate will undoubtedly cause the biggest waves, and the War Tower can effectively involve the energy of certain noble lords. When everyone is busy occupying territory and consolidating their territory, they will still have the energy to deal with the Twin Towers of the Gate.
Causes problems?
If these people only focus on the Twin Towers of the Gate, they will be slow to move in other areas, and others will seize the opportunity. Don't ask these noble lords if they will regret it, maybe their ancestors will jump out of their coffins.
, accusing this prodigal son who is unable to protect his land and family.
The issue of the Twin Towers of the Gate is just a small tacit understanding among everyone, while the issue of the War Tower is related to vital interests. It is obvious which noble lord will choose.
After solving the problems of the noble group, the troubles of the magician group are equally easy to solve.
The reason why everyone maintains a small tacit understanding that cannot be made public is not because of the coercion of others, but to guard against this magician. Because the disgusting ability to change the world is really scary.
Since most of the chambers of commerce that have access to magic materials have either aristocratic backgrounds or a background in the Magicians Association, it is very easy to target specific people and block some raw materials.
But if someone in this small tacit understanding group takes the initiative to break the rules, others can only verbally criticize them and cannot give any substantial punishment.
Especially when the person breaking the rule is an empire, then the person who curses has to consider whether he can swallow the bitter consequences after opening his mouth. The majesty of the empire cannot be insulted, and this sentence is not something people say casually.
.
As far as the empire was concerned, the old emperor's previous protection and the small tacit understanding that was broken now were not written in black and white to regulate anyone's behavior, and could not be used as an excuse to rebuke or make trouble.
If the original idea was to have the Twin Towers of Gates be controlled by the Empire, perhaps this would violate the agreement between magicians and nobles and lead to substantial retaliation.
But the person who built the tower now is an official magician, and has the title of Grand Magician, and has never served in the empire. Even if all the materials for building the tower are provided by the empire, it does not violate the magician's convention. Who can find fault?
The only concern is that if this magician can show enough strength when wiping out the evil camp alliance, I believe a lot of troubles will be solved. In the face of overwhelming strength, many people will know how to maintain a humble attitude.
If this magician cannot demonstrate such ability... there will naturally be corresponding changes in plans.
Even if Lin couldn't guess all of the old emperor's various calculations, he could still guess one or two percent.
Emperor Armin Kazalnia's strategies are all fair and square, and people have to follow his arrangements in order to obtain the greatest benefits. At the same time, the old emperor and his forces will also have problems
harvested.
However, Lin's advantage is that he is not greedy. He is not entirely driven by profit when doing things. Sometimes he still prioritizes life-saving. It doesn't matter if he suffers a little loss.
Although I like to use conspiracy to deal with people, my target is the group, not the individual. Even if some people are quite sensible and see through my intentions, as long as there are profit-minded elements in the group, they can still promote the entire group.
Follow the route you have arranged.
However, when others use the same method to deal with one of them, someone thinks that he can avoid the phenomenon of group intelligence, rationally evaluate the pros and cons, and decide things accordingly.
So when faced with the old emperor's last request, Lin didn't agree to it, and just said calmly: "I will consider it."
