Ignoring the surprise of the prince beside her, the queen's iron claws led the prince back further.
She saw huge green energy gathering inside Eski's white robe. Alkadiza was the future, the only light in Nehekhara, representing a future of eternal peace and prosperity.
Before he is completely transcendent and becomes a saint, there must be no risk.
"Leave here and don't get involved in such risky things before becoming a priest king. The king of Khemri should never be a short-lived king."
Neferata showed her unquestionable will for the first time in front of her prince, and the invisible spiritual wind struck the prince.
However, the prince, whose mind was filled with responsibility and sacrifice, also did not change his mind under the impact of will that could shock ordinary people to the point of losing their minds.
"Do you want me to run away from the battlefield?"
The dark prince roared angrily.
"This is not about running away from the battlefield, it's just a strategic necessity."
The cat's eyes under the golden mask also show no weakness.
"Really?!"
The engineering warlock watched the quarrel between the man and woman in the distance speechlessly, covered his figure with a burst of green mist, and immediately used teleportation, leaving only a flash of light in place.
Sure enough, compared to Alkadiza's wife, this woman is on the same level as him.
Apart from the shortcomings of being four hundred years older than Alkadiza, and having experienced two men, her brother and Arkhan, who needed blood to sustain her life, she is still a good woman, relatively speaking.
Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the sudden appearance of fog and flash.
After a group of soldiers rushed in, the queen and prince finally understood what happened.
"Did he run away?!"
Veins appeared on Neferata's forehead under the mask, and even the fangs in her mouth could hardly be hidden.
Thanks to her for being vigilant for so long.
However, before she could step forward to check for herself, she felt her cold arm being held by a warm hand.
Turning his head, the cat's eyes met the shining black eyes, and he was greeted with a question.
"What on earth were you talking about just now?"
There was a trace of sadness and regret in the pair of black cat eyes, and disappeared after a moment, only to look firmly into the prince's eyes again.
"The ancestor king of Lahmia left a legacy belonging to Nagash after that war."
Neferata puffed up her chest, put her left hand confidently on her chest, and continued.
"However, we, who have been favored by Asaf, have abandoned that thing. If we can exchange for peace by handing over that evil thing, I am willing."
But in this case, the anger in the prince's eyes did not diminish much. He still looked at the saint of Laemia sternly and said.
"But you shouldn't tell it the correct location of Nagash's legacy. You should destroy it first. If he wants to bring war, let him come. I swear to the gods, I will not let Lahmia, not
Let the entire Nehekhara be threatened by that kind of monster."
Neferita's eyes showed a trace of confusion, and after a moment, she approached the prince.
"My prince, if you are not afraid, I will not be afraid either. I made a mistake, and maybe I still have a chance to make it right now."
As she spoke, she turned around and faced the soldiers belonging to Lamia.
"As a priest of Asaf, a bloodline of the Lahmian royal family, an immortal favored by the gods."
"With the death of the current queen, I declare that I will temporarily assume the post of queen of Lahmia and transfer all military power of Lahmia to the future king of Khemri, Alkadiza."
The soldiers looked at the saint they had known since childhood, and then at the bloody palace above, and lowered their heads to express their obedience to the new order.
Alkadiza nodded solemnly to the soldiers, took Neferata's right hand, and led her to a still intact chariot.
Seriously and gently, he asked the driver and another soldier to get out of the car. Alkadiza led Neferata onto the chariot, letting the saint, who had not yet taken off his attire, sit on the left side.
And he himself acted as the driver, driving the chariot toward the city gate.
On the other side, not far away, was the temporary stronghold belonging to the rat people. After Esky returned to the base, he immediately opened the blue plane.
The Witch Spirit, Storm Rat and Cathay woman immediately slid out from inside as if being pushed by something.
"What just happened?"
Wu Ling asked, she still remembered that the blue plane came over the last second, she felt the coldness for a moment, and the next second she appeared here.
This seems like teleportation, but there is no dizzying feeling.
"The time and space connection between you and this world has been cut off by the wind of Agil, leaving only my connection."
The engineer explained.
"So, you will only remember what happened before you were sent in, and your time there is prohibited."
The engineering warlock pinched his beard. If the burden on his will was not too great, he would not want to use the teleportation spell to move these people.
"Teleport...those five..."
Wait...
Esky suddenly remembered that the four heroes in Plague seemed to use ritual magic to teleport through space, which was very convenient. It was called Shadow Bridge.
A kind of shadow magic that uses artifacts.
However, to execute characters in the form of the Five Little Strongmen, you need a sufficiently safe base and the services of a mage with strong enough magic ability. Obviously, this cannot be done in a short time.
Let’s not talk about whether the safe base will be detected and destroyed by Nagash.
If Eski was to be the teleportation mage himself, he would need elite enough heroic figures to carry out the mission.
Hecate can be captured by the Scurvy clan without magical power, and Toxed can have his legs removed by ordinary barbarians in frontal combat.
Other rats, such as the newly recruited apprentices, not to mention lack of loyalty, are not even proficient in the magic of releasing the metal wind and ordinary Skaven magic.
Although their combat power is stronger than that of the five powerful ones, they are still too weak in the face of Nagash, Neferata, Alkadiza and the like.
Based on his current situation, it is more reliable to carry a small number of rats for short-distance teleportation.
The engineer warlock was tapped on the shoulder. When he looked up, it turned out to be Hecate.
Only then did Esky realize that his thinking seemed to have caused a lot of time to pass.
"Don't be stunned. How should we deal with this female monkey?"
The elf pointed at the Cathay woman whose arm had recovered a little and said.
"Don't worry about her. Pack your things and prepare to go back. First, send the things you need to the Ancient Saint's Network below. Wait for me there."
Looking at the puzzled look on the wizard spirit's face, Esky further explained.
"Although I can still use teleportation for large-scale transfers now, I have to treat it as the last time."
"Nagash can cause hallucinations for me and invalidate teleportation. There is no reason why those vampires don't have such technology."
"I have to be prepared that I won't be able to use teleportation spells next."
With that said, Eski handed the already quite dissatisfied female rat from Tengman's tent into the hands of the wizard. Wrapping her was a new piece of white cloth.
"Hecate, you take my female rat with you."
"Are you going alone?"
Wu Ling looked at the scouts around him, puzzled.
If that's the case, why bring these rats with poor combat effectiveness?
"No, only you and Elizabeth are not going."
Esky's green eyes remained on the clan rats who were still packing their things.
"Send you down first."
As he said that, a burst of smoke and flash appeared on the spot, and the engineering warlock and the wizard disappeared.
Within a few minutes, the same green mist appeared again, and Eski returned to the rats after leaving enough food and a temporary residence for the wizard spirit.
"Now, we are going to attack the temple of human gadgets. No matter what is there, we must succeed."
The pre-war mobilization of engineering warlocks was without enthusiasm, and it was impossible to mobilize the enthusiasm of these rats who were originally technical personnel.
Looking at the indifferent expressions on the faces of the rats, including Toxide, Eski took out two bottles of white liquid from the blue space magic and placed them in Toxide's hands.
At the same time, he took out a new pair of steel armor and carved thirteen runes on it with his green-lit fingers.
After doing all this, he turned to the remaining rats.
"If the battle is successful and you survive, the life span of each of you will be extended to 100 years. After thirty years, we can still discuss things that will continue to extend your prime years."
"Even now, I have enough elixir of life, so fight for me. That way, you can get what all rats crave."
After saying that, the chaotic energy that Esky had accumulated in the temporary mana pool was completely released. The aroma of the dimension stone poured into the nostrils of the rats, and their bodies began to be enveloped by a strong sense of dizziness. The teleportation moved everyone to the desert, and the harsh sunlight immediately began to scorch the rats. Although they were wearing white robes outside and white lining inside, the temperature of the steel plate armor was still rising rapidly.<
/p>
However, the engineer's goal is already close at hand.
The goddess of love and magic, the statue of Asaf, stands tall in an oasis.
The real center of Lahmia's rule has never been the royal palace in the new city, but the Blood Temple transformed from the old palace, the real residence of Neferata.
Although the royal palace in the city also left Neferata with a more luxurious bedroom than the queen on the surface, and Neferata's maids and priests were left behind, but there was far less of this palace to provide a source of resources for the vampires.
A temple with constant blood has value.
Looking at the temple from a distance, Eski was surprised to find that his deep magic vision was unable to see whether there was magic energy in the distant building.
The wind of magic washed over the pyramid-shaped architects standing around, as if they encountered a blocking wall and were unable to move forward.
Block the wind of magic? Or is it just a simple blind trick?
The engineering warlock took out a bag of dimensional stones from the space magic and hung it on his waist.
No matter how blocked magic is, warpstone can always be a source of magic that may not be reliable.
Looking at the river surrounding the temple and the surrounding desert, the engineering warlock said.
"Toxide, there are two of you left. The rest of the people, with the temple as the core, spread out in nine different directions, about two to three kilometers away from each other, forming a circular encirclement.
."
Eski lit the two scouts who had offended him before, including Toxide, and at the same time left balls of black linseeds on each of the scouts.
"If you see the enemy, just bark at these linseeds three times, and they will bring back information for me."
The rats didn't make any sound, but lowered their heads slightly, cut off the straps of the metal armor with daggers, took them off, and then quickly ran away from the engineering warlock.
No armor? Is it to make no noise?
The engineer warlock waved the blue wind of magic, peeling off these partially damaged armors from the time and space of this world.
Now that the scouts have set off, he must also set off.
Staring at the goddess statue in the distance, the rat movement technique was applied to the engineering warlock, and the four pink claws quickly dug out the sand on the ground to make a fine sound. The engineering warlock made a strange noise in the flying sand.
Run quickly towards the Blood Temple.
Toxide and the two scouts who had offended the engineering warlocks followed closely. In just a few minutes, both parties arrived at the entrance of the Temple of Learning, which was hidden under the statue and buried in the shadows.
There was a trace of anxiety in Esky's eyes. He knew that Neferata's information might be false. Even if it was true, Neferata might immediately pursue Arkadiza.
Fortunately, the Nehekhara people have not done much research on space magic.
Even if Alkadiza had already used a chariot or war horse to pursue him when he completed the teleportation, there would still be some time before he could arrive. Eski only needed to take what he needed before then and avoid the pursuit.
That’s it.
Or, can't find it?
The engineer warlock licked his fangs, hoping that the pain might disappear along with the sting of his tongue.
Turning around, Eski frowned and looked at Toxide's gentle movements in his arms.
"Stop guarding the elixir of life. If you are worried, I can put it into the magic first and then give it to you after the injection."
But the Storm Rat obviously had no intention of letting it go. The Engineer Warlock shook his head helplessly and motioned to the two Clan Rats to go ahead and explore the way, while he himself followed the scout.
Eski tried to skillfully mobilize the wind of Aegir in the air, changed his eyes to blue-violet, and opened up the deep magic vision.
But such an attempt failed.
It was only then that the engineering warlock finally discovered something strange - from now on, the world under the second vision no longer has the weird light spots displayed by the magic wind.
Whether it is the gray mist, the aroma of cinnamon, the green spring, the flowing lightning, or anything else, they no longer exist.
It's as if the world has returned to its original appearance in an instant.
