For three consecutive days, Oka's [Tear] legion remained motionless. Although a large number of insects from the teleportation channel had landed in Mera, they were ordered to be on standby.
During these three days, Oka was suffering. The Oroen people who kept escaping from the barrier described to him the misery of the survivors.
A team of about forty elite suppression magicians struggled to support themselves while surrounded by dolls. Faced with this group of soulless creatures who were not afraid of death and each had their own strengths, they racked their brains, but with little success.
Those who die during the resistance are undoubtedly lucky, because compared with what happens next, death is so gentle.
Chenxi's puppet master rushed to the scene, and the dying magician wanted to surrender and beg for his life. However, what faced him was the magic potion that the puppet master poured on him.
The puppet held him to death and bound him tightly. Just like that, he, who was hiding aside and unnoticed, saw the puppet master and used skillful techniques to...eviscerate the magician.
It's like disassembling a piece of armor and picking it up at your fingertips.
Until the head was removed, the suppressor was still not completely dead.
This captivating description made everyone present feel chills all over.
Taking living parts to make puppets is simply the most evil heresy among puppet masters. Only those who seek eternity and longevity will pursue a living body with strong vitality!
Not only that, some people also heard that they wanted to use the flesh and blood of the Oroen people to mash their corpses to feed the sharply reduced number of monsters and beasts in the Dawn Territory, so that they could continue to breed offspring, and what a group of mushrooms were saying...
broth!
Combined with the insect nests described by those who luckily escaped from the Castle of False Dawn, the Oroen people all believed that what they were attacking this time was an extremely evil evil nest.
Every description made Oka immersed in the situation, and he almost had the urge to rush into the barrier to save those companions who were still holding on.
But he endured it.
Since the beginning of the campaign, Oron had never suffered such a miserable defeat. A total of 20,000 people fell into the enemy's territory, and three legion commanders were missing. Even though they were steadily advancing on their strategic goals, these losses could not be ignored.
The incident report submitted to the Senate received an immediate response. The Senate mainly tried to appease him and supported his decision to station. However, Oka knew that this was just a routine response to maintain stability. Sooner or later, the Senate would send an inspector to find out for himself what was going on.
...Perhaps it will be when the next legion commander arrives.
He didn't know how he would be held accountable by the Senate. The only thing he hoped for was that he could continue to fight against Mela as the commander of the legion... He needed redemption, and at the same time, he also wanted to see with his own eyes the other legions.
Chang can open up the situation in Mela.
Accompanying the rolling insect swarm to Mela was the commander of the [Newborn] Legion, Melie. The dense insect patterns on its armor were enough to make any trypophobia patient's hair stand on end, and the armor behind it could even make their heart and lungs stop.
Stop - Dense and fine holes are densely arranged, like a honeycomb.
Without those moving armor plates acting as covers, Oka would not be able to eat even if he looked at his back armor, because apart from the main reason of trypophobia, there are many moving bugs living in those holes.
This kind of reserved space for movement makes Melie's armor obviously wider than that of other legion commanders. The color of the armor is mainly green of vegetation and earthy yellow, but in the gaps between the fittings, resin-like fluid will flow.
Milky white lines.
Melie greeted Oka with the etiquette between army commanders. He took off his mask, revealing his unkempt and unkempt face, as if he had stuffed a bunch of weeds and thick gray hair into his face.
Almost bursting from the mask.
Oka had seen Melie with a shaved beard. He was a very handsome werewolf, but unfortunately the tribe he came from was proud of his fur, which forced him to change his past style and grow hair after getting married.
As the werewolf Melieh can be regarded as the most outstanding insect master in Oruan. Since the beginning of Oruan's campaign, his insect swarms have made many achievements. He himself basically only sets foot on the conquered continent after the invasion is completed to search for
Individual bugs suitable for cultivation.
Mela is a special case.
The number of insects Oka needs exceeds the upper limit of the "Insect Jade" created by Melie. After deliberation by the Senate, Melie personally left.
"Very troublesome?" Knowing that other people would feel dizzy about his back, Melie thoughtfully sat in the corner with his back against the wall.
"It's very troublesome." Oka emphasized seriously, "Now it seems that the title of glutton is worthy of its name."
"In what way does it live up to its name and really eat people?"
Oka nodded and mentioned what the survivors had seen.
Melie was stunned, but then smiled: "It's okay, my bugs can also eat people."
The endless swarm of insects joined the battlefield, which gave Oka confidence again, but he still did not change his strategy and focused on stability.
The reason why Melie is here is because he is also a stable person. Rather than taking risks, he prefers to use the insect swarm to exhaust the opponent's last will to resist, and then use his strength to clean up the battlefield.
"In addition to me, there may be other legion commanders coming, maybe Tare, Niang's replacement, maybe someone else. Of course, the most important thing to you is..." Melie lowered his voice and reminded, "
The censor of the Senate will come."
Oka shook his head indifferently. He had no worries about what might happen to him, but instead took Melie to learn about the territory that had blocked Oroun for nearly thirty days.
At dusk on the second day, under the transmission channel, a man wearing a silver-grey robe with gold trim came to Mera from Oroun. The owl totem representing the symbol of the Overseer made everyone present feel awe.
Melieu wanted to get up and leave, but the censor stopped him with his hand.
"It has nothing to do with the report and verification of the commander of the Oka Army, but I need to convey to you a major event that happened not long ago."
Oka and Melie's eyes widened as the inspector told them.
How can this be?
…
…
I don’t know how long it has been since Wendy was imprisoned in the collection room, a magic-forbidden room. There is no clock, and the sun cannot be seen. Her daily life is taken care of by the head maid called Sylvie. Only from her mouth,
Only Wendy can know the time.
"It's time to eat. Come on, open your mouth."
Taking the plate from the maid outside the door, Sylvie, who had followed her before Noel came to power, brought the food to Wendy with a smile on her face, looking elegant and flawless.
At least that's the case when there are outsiders.
The meal time did not allow Wendy to estimate the time. Sylvie seemed to have deliberately confused her concept of time, or was it because she respected herself and did not wake her up when she was asleep?
In short, Wendy lost the concept of time, and her life only consisted of eating and sleeping.
At first, she thought about going on a hunger strike, but doing so would make Xiluwei pinch her mouth and forcefully force her to eat. After an unpleasant experience, she changed her mind.
Now that the situation has come to an end, let's take things as they come. Wendy is a very adaptable person. Such changes will not make her depressed, but will instead stimulate her fighting spirit.
When she was extremely bored, Sylvie didn't mind playing card games with her. In her words, as Noel's future woman, she always wanted to know a little about Wendy's hobbies and habits.
This made Wendy sneer. She said she wanted her to have a baby, but Noel never showed up in the magic room.
As an emperor, intimidating envoys is obviously the limit. It is obviously impossible for him to do anything more crazy. It is ridiculous that he would be frightened.
It's already a shame to make a mistake once, and Wendy won't let herself make a mistake a second time!
The bell in the room jingled, and Sylvie took away the spoon Wendy was still using and poured the rice onto the wooden plate.
Although Wendy is well-behaved now, she needs to be wary of the legion commander having inappropriate thoughts at any time. She needs Wendy to be intact before His Majesty Noel arrives.
The heavy door slowly opened. Looking at the person who appeared at the door, Wendy was stunned. She subconsciously checked her thin clothes to see if there was any nudity. Even though she knew that Noel would not show his true intentions, she didn't want to let him go.
This person takes advantage.
Before the door closed, little silence squeezed in.
Noel sat on the chair and looked down at Wendy who was kneeling on the ground grabbing food with her hands. He was happy: "Eat and sleep, sleep and eat. It's a very leisurely life. Commander Wendy is so busy.
How do you feel about your rare leisure time?"
"Are you envious?" Wendy's voice was cold.
Unexpectedly, Noel gave a high-five excitedly: "Envy, of course I'm envious. Ask every Quiet One, and then ask my good friend, Lu Yu, who was surrounded by you, if I could choose, would you like to eat, drink and have fun?"
Having a woman can be my whole life."
A truly rubbish speech, coming from an emperor who had plotted against him and deceived countless people in Mela. It was so sincere that Wendy, who was accustomed to questioning, was speechless.
"There are no ifs. If you are not an emperor, you simply cannot maintain such a life. I don't think you want to be a wandering emperor who takes a big ship, goes on ocean adventures, and restarts his business."
Noel laughed loudly: "I know there is something in your words, but you are right. Just to enjoy everything that everyone calls mediocre, I will work diligently to be the emperor and consolidate the rule of the empire. In order to
If I indulge, I will tinker with those novel and creative inventions.”
Noel changed the topic and lowered his voice: "But, who said that to resist Oroun, we must escape from Mera and restart our foundation?"
Wendy stood up. Before she took a step, Little Silence stood in front of Noel and stared at her with hostile eyes.
Wendy didn't take it seriously, bypassed the small silence, sat calmly on another chair next to Noel, and said calmly: "After I disappeared, Oroun's portal must have been opened. Frost and Snow to the north of you
The sirens of Mishima have been persuaded by me, the portal is opened, and they immediately attack southward, together with Codzoun, who has long since rebelled, and Darth Milo, who came from the east."
Picking up the tea prepared for Noel, Wendy took a leisurely sip, as if she was the master and the others were prisoners.
"Your useless brothers and sisters have been coveting you for a long time. You are unwilling to cooperate, but they are willing. Through them, Sligo's orthodox inheritance can be justified, and the resistance among the people may suddenly decrease."
Noel held his chin, his eyes not leaving Wendy's chest: "We are under attack from both sides, Sligo, and are in danger. What I should do now is to let you go and cooperate with Oroun, right? But I am very confused.
Don’t you hold grudges against me?”
"I'm not that narrow-minded."
"Maybe, I think it's quite narrow-minded."
Following Noel's line of sight, Wendy looked down at the dent in her clothes, and immediately clenched her fists.
"Commander Wendy, you don't think that I came to you to find a way out because of my successive defeats on the front line, right?"
Wendy raised her eyebrows and looked nervously at Noel who stood up.
Compared to him who was frivolous a second ago, he now showed a confident and cunning smile.
Looking down at Wendy, Noel said words that caused Wendy's brain to shut down.
"The portal you opened in the waters of Sligo has been shattered."
"Impossible!" Wendy stood up immediately and hurriedly retorted, "The magic cloud set off when the long-distance teleportation circle is generated can cause magic fluctuations that are enough to tear apart all the lives around you. Even the ninth-level people you call will be destroyed by that
The momentary wave is annihilated. Even if you are lucky enough to escape the wave, the rapidly spreading high-concentration magic power will escape from the channel for a long time. How can you resist a field that is no different from an explosion?"
"If you are dispatched after the formation of the magic circle, the continuous suppression of magicians is enough to make you unable to cast a single magic. How can you destroy the passage!"
Noel looked directly at Wendy, no longer as flirtatious as before.
"Courage, human heart, and life depend on these three things."
After saying that, Noel turned around without thinking. He seemed to have come just to make Wendy confused and panic, and he didn't intend to explain more.
Wendy also saw through what Noel was planning to do. She clenched her fists and shouted: "It's a bluff, just like you said you wanted to conquer me and let me give birth to an heir for you. It's just a bluff!"
Noel stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at Wendy.
Wendy was not afraid, and looked at her, and said at the same time: "You just want to see how shaken I am, and then pry some information about Oroun out of my mouth... Why, your friend got it from Doreka?
You didn’t get enough from me, do you need me now?”
Seeing that Noel had no reaction and even trembled a little, Wendy laughed, understanding in her heart.
"It seems that losing ground is the truth. Your tactics are really clumsy..."
Noel interrupted her coldly.
"I never force women. This would make me think that power is omnipotent and become more and more dependent on the pleasure it brings... But now, I feel that there are exceptions to everything, and Wendy, you should be the first."
"I'm going to attend the funerals of many people. After mourning for the heroes, I will fulfill your wish... I said, you will give birth to an heir for me."
"When someone dies, someone should be born... This is in line with the cycle, right, Lord Legion Master of Oraun?"
