When the sky above our heads returned to normal, and the Milky Way and night colors returned to normal, the terrifying declaration of the gods was completely over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Putting aside the impact that will be caused when the gods make this declaration, everyone present can probably feel the coming storm. Except for Heloise who knew something about it before, even I did not expect Ayer to be like this.
Decisive, so resolute in striking, it was clear that he had broken with the Holy Light system.
"Consequences? Relationship with the Holy Light side? Why do you think so much? Just do whatever you want. I will support you."
After leaving these words, Ayer's incarnation disappeared without a trace.
Boss Aiye's free and easy attitude can sometimes make people speechless, but we must also admit that he does have the strength to not be afraid of the Holy Light's rebellion, and his vision is still vicious. Now is indeed the best time to make a decision.
The undead army is coming, the plane invasion is unstoppable, and the holy war can be said to have begun in full. Now, taking the lead in declaring war and seizing the momentum is undoubtedly the most suitable key point.
Well, since they are all about grabbing public opinion and hot spots, it’s not wrong to say they grab headlines.
And just outside our forest, the current situation has not changed. The undead army from six planes has successfully landed, the plane space has been made permanent, and the undead natural disaster has taken shape. No matter what the reason is for them to come here, but next
What will happen in one step has already happened - war.
Yes, regardless of whether there are extenuating circumstances or not, and whether it is just in their own eyes, this is still a war, a war of aggression. A big war that is destined to flow into rivers of blood.
The undead want to establish a country. But their country no longer exists here. Time has passed and the sea has changed. This is already the land of the Bayer Empire. The returnees of their homeland do have the right to return to their homeland. So, thousands of people have lived here.
Don’t centuries-old residents have the right to protect their homes and territories?
Many times, 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 never make his people abandon their homeland. No, he cannot even say such a thing. The moment he says it, everyone
All citizens will regard him as a mortal enemy, and no matter how loyal his ministers are, they will raise the flag of rebellion.
The citizens can accept a small number of intelligent undead as upper-class nobles. This 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 both parties conflicted, the conflicts between the two parties had long been irreconcilable. The war had already broken out.
"I want to go back to the capital. I want to ask His Majesty Oros clearly!"
After seemingly discussing a certain matter, Helent was still worried about the situation in the royal capital. He would definitely go back and take a look first. He was accompanied by the Dragon Rider Brigade. In order to strengthen his determination to have a good time with the emperor, I even gave him away.
A research report on Kasolan's Tears, as well as possible plots that the undead may make, such as large-scale transformation of the undead.
Of course, it is also indispensable to question the sluggish and unreasonable response of the empire's upper echelons so far, as well as some suggestions on how to mobilize the masses if the situation goes bad.
"Helent, Yuye City must also be prepared for war. If the undead plan to attack Yuye City directly after completing the reorganization, you can consider contacting the country of mages. It may be more effective than asking for help from the capital, right?
, since the opponent is the undead, don’t forget the Holy Church, what a good voluntary cannon fodder.”
After hearing my words, Helent hesitated for a moment, but did not refute. It seemed that he had listened.
Since the invasion of the undead, the Republic of Tucker, the Bayer Empire, and the Kingdom of Mages have become, as mentioned in the system mission "Three Snakes Killing", three giant pythons entangled with each other, surrounding the living space and the surrounding areas.
Hegemony, conflicts of interest between each other are inevitable.
The Bayer Empire and the Kingdom of Mages are already in a hostile relationship, and there have been countless wars between the Kingdom of the Dead and the Kingdom of the Living to compete for 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' struggle for hegemony is too familiar.
Stop? How to stop? To use an old saying that is not very suitable, in the face of the wheel of history, any blocker is a stupid mantis. The scale of the previous outpost battles was not large, and maybe it was still within the control range. When two super
The great powers are fully mobilized. When the Tucker Republic, which occupies six planes and has twelve demigod undead emperors, is fully launched, individual strength and even one or two legions have become meaningless. That is the difference between great powers and great powers.
'Confrontation' between.
In front of these three behemoths, my small foundation in the north is not even a fraction. It takes at least four ounces of strength to move a thousand pounds. Now we can probably only count as a little finger.
Still want to mediate? Wait until they prove with enough sacrifices that they cannot defeat the opponent in one bite. Or, you can suppress the power of the three parties, directly suppress them, and 'force' them to negotiate.
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 the undead tribe, they will
It is impossible for residents of the main plane to accept it.
Peace is what all parties hope for, but it seems impossible in a short time. So, let's keep a spark of peace first.
Esso may have seen through everything. He gave me another goal of these memories. Perhaps he also asked me to mediate in the name of a third party when conditions permit. As the envoy of the Sleepless One, the former Undead Emperor, I am afraid that when the time comes,
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 diplomatic peace with other forces through mediation. However, this goal would probably not be accepted by the Bayer Empire, let alone
If the citizens and nobles who have lost their land and relatives as a result are to accept it, then they must fight hard and use their strength to make them accept it.
The undead are still building fortifications and forming legions. Judging from the current performance of the undead, the next strategic layout is already obvious. Without touching the third party, gather as many troops as possible and prepare to deal with it.
A big fight, and once they're ready...
"With the speed of the Plane Gate's troop increase, the existing area will not be enough sooner or later. If the undead begin to expand their own territory. The Forest of Dreams on the western front and the Rainy Night City on the eastern front will probably become the mainstay of this war.
The front lines. Perhaps, both sides will become very lively."
In a sense, Helent's preparation is not only correct, but will play a crucial role in the future. If the Bayer Empire prepares to fully respond to the war, Yuye City will become the first line of defense and a strong city against the invasion of the undead.
"At that time, probably many 'Contract Warriors' will come to join in the fun. And the situation in our Dream Forest will also change because of this..."
I don’t think that the undead at this stage will have the courage to conquer the Forest of Dreams. After all, how difficult the will of the plane is to control them. I’m afraid the emperors all know that encircling rather than attacking is the most appropriate approach, but this does not mean that the Forest of Dreams
You cannot actively attack the undead! You will not become a thorn in the side of the undead empire.
The undead will inevitably turn the area around the gate of the plane into their own defensive territory, and the only blind spot is probably the Forest of Dreams, which is already an independent plane. But this forest turns out to be a very famous port. The forest.
On the other side of the sea is a very good deep-water harbor, and across the sea is the country of mages. This is simply the most natural outpost.
Whether it is to defend the Bayer Empire or to defend against the possible offensive of the undead, the country of wizards will definitely send people here. Maybe in order to prevent the exchanges, there will be two long-term routes for adventurers who do not belong to any force.
Coming and going.
"The Kingdom of Mages will definitely come, and maybe it will bring a few legions. And having an absolutely safe station will definitely attract many future point hunters."
Whether it is the birthplace of the Kodama clan or an outpost of the Holy War, this place will soon prosper due to the flow of people. It may even make a lot of war fortune and become one of the most prosperous capitals in the world. But as
The front line where the living and the dead confront each other is bound to be filled with smoke and smoke. The Wood Spirit clan seems destined to grow in the war.
When it comes to holy war, in fact, the original imaginary enemy is not the sudden arrival of the undead. After all, even Ayer himself could not have predicted the arrival of the undead.
The originally expected primary target was the various elemental beings that awakened as the God of Elements. They were not too powerful and were suitable for practitioners and novices to grow. Apart from them, they could also curb the rising tide of elements, which was obviously a problem for the Holy War.
Good thing.
The most important thing is that the weaker "newbie monsters" will deepen the connection between the "newcomers" and Ayer's forces, and establish an initial trust relationship. The "internal beta" adventurers who successfully get rewards will become legends among their peers.
Attract new people to join the industry and gradually expand the camp of foot men. The bodies of elements can also be used as materials for making magic items and recover costs. Therefore, I strongly recommend marking them as the primary target in the report.
But now that the undead have taken the initiative to rush in, it is impossible not to count them in. However, both Rainy Night City and Dream Forest have strong defenses. If you can't defeat them, just run to the club. If you suffer a loss, you can always remember it.
There should be no tragic situation where a rookie encounters the ultimate boss and dies on the spot.
The other large battlefield that has been opened is also our old acquaintance, the battle line of Kagesi, the capital of the Oro Empire. The Sea Clan there is still engaged in a tug-of-war with humans. The Sea Clan who believe in Lady Storm is obviously
The 'chaos' side also fully meets the standards of actual combat.
Of course, considering the combat power of the Sea Tribe in the water, it seems that it is no less difficult than the Undead Defense Line. If it is not strong enough, it is basically equal to death.
I once mentioned this aspect to Heloise, and she was more open-minded than I was.
"...Dangerous? Only with high risks can there be high rewards, otherwise why would we get gifts from the gods? Besides, we are not nannies, and the fighters who dare to sign contracts are all adults who can take responsibility for themselves. Do you think your current opponent is dangerous?
, won’t future opponents be more dangerous? A true warrior only has to fight his way out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Now that an elimination mechanism has been formulated to retain the strong and eliminate the weak, why are you hesitating?”
"Yes, since you have gone to the front line for the gift of the gods and are not civilians who have never seen blood, how could you not even be mentally prepared for this?"
In a sense, I did underestimate the residents of this plane. Their environment is different from that of my previous life. The warriors who are engaged in the adventure industry have long been different from the civilians. They have long danced on the tip of a knife to make a living.
How could a professional warrior rush into the battlefield without preparation? The reckless man who rushed forward without assessing the strength of the opponent would have died on the way.
Instead of thinking about these, it is better to consider how to deal with this Three Kingdoms War, which is destined to involve huge involvement.
But if I do nothing, it is obviously not in line with my habits.
"Samantha, it looks like your mother will be asleep for a while. But there are things you can do."
"Temperance" Samantha is a bright red wood spirit with bright red hair. She is the current patriarch of the wood spirit clan and the eldest sister among the seven virtues. But strangely, she is the incarnation of a rose that represents passion.
He always has a cold face and cherishes his words like gold.
She is from the same genus as Rosa, and her face is very similar to Rosa's. They are almost twins. For a long time, they both lived with Amyra, and they knew me better, but they were friendly.
Unlike Rosa, who looked timid, Samantha seemed to have a lot of objections to me. A blank face was considered a good look. A stinking face was normal.
"explain."
"Probably. Soon you will encounter a lot of visitors here, and most of their targets are the undead. I hope you can do three things. First, keep those visitors alive as much as possible. Second, provide some attraction.
Their resources, such as the fruit of thick soil that increases physical fitness, can be exchanged for justice points or large amounts of gold coins, 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, few people can compare with the Lord of the Plane. This is why no one who runs a small business can compare with a bank. The former makes money, while the latter prints money, and the Lord of the Plane is the one who prints money.
of.
Special fruits that increase basic attributes such as strength, agility, and physical fitness, nectar that restores physical strength and magic power, and antidote grass that cures severe poisons. I have already seen these magical things, and the latter two may also include alchemy.
substitutes, but this kind of thing that fundamentally changes a person's foundation and talent is extremely precious. Just with these local products, there will be countless strong people working for the wood spirit.
Of course, this is not unlimited. Fruits that permanently increase basic attributes also require a large amount of resources from the forest to be produced. The quantity is limited, and the creative ability of Amyra's Dream Forest is limited to fruits.
In the category of plants, they can only have beneficial or debilitating effects on the organisms that eat them.
As the holy war progresses, I am afraid that justice points will become a currency more valuable than gold coins. Perhaps, just with this new concept and prosperous business, the goddess of wealth will take a step forward, and these are just
At first, I estimated that every true god in Aiya would benefit from this action.
At least I know that every contract and every fair exchange will make the concept of contract and the patron saint of contracts, Sleepless Man, stronger. After that declaration, the number of devout believers increased day by day. Others
Most of the gods are like this.
"This is destined to be a long-term battle. Don't let the warriors die in vain. This is also for your mother's sake."
I'm not lying. The flesh, blood and souls of the dead on this land will become nutrients for the Forest of Dreams. As long as the sacrifices of the bloody battle are rich enough, Amyra will not only wake up, but also become stronger than before.
After all, in a sense, the entire Dream Forest is her body, and the wood spirits are all her symbionts.
Samantha nodded, agreeing.
Watching Samantha leave quietly, I breathed a sigh of relief. The look in this little girl's eyes at me was so poisonous, and the sadness and anger in it were even more uncomfortable. It was as if I really owed her something.
Thinking of the things in the past, these little guys must have seen it, and the inexplicable feeling of guilt always makes me feel like I am a bad father who has not paid the child support.
"Sister Samantha is very happy. It seems that she is very happy that her father wants her to help with things." But little Rosa jumped out to undermine her sister.
What, that stinky face was actually happy. I was so shocked that I quickly asked Rosa how she could tell.
"Father, don't you see it? Even though my sister has a stern face, she is actually very happy. Look at the vines behind my sister's head jumping and jumping, like a puppy's tail... Wuwuwu
."
Well, the vines that suddenly stretched out from the treetop kidnapped Rosa, but when I saw the blushing young lady not far away, I kind of understood these little things.
On the other side, next to a creek, the first artificial building of the Forest of Dreams has been completed. It is a small stone court with only four to five hundred square meters and seven or eight rooms, but its door
At the entrance, there is a scale emblem. Yes, it is the branch church and court of the Church of Law in the Forest of Dreams.
Its intended function, in addition to providing some justice points for future contract warriors, is also a place to promote the teachings of the God of Law, and can even provide employment in the legal profession. With the expansion of the priesthood of "contract"
It is becoming more and more perfect. Not only are traditional commercial transactions using contracts, adventure partners, and mercenary force are also used by the Church of the God of Law, the "Team Contract" has also become a best-seller.
As a branch church of the frontline diocese, its first regional bishop is naturally very important. She is...
"Kelos, are you ready?"
"Well, those wood spirits communicate well, and they understand the law very quickly. It won't be long before our church will have the first batch of wood spirit law professionals."
With a smile full of happiness, in addition to being able to do his favorite job in the elves' favorite forest, more importantly, the wood elves agreed to cultivate a special plant for him.
The medicine changes her physique.
Well, everyone probably knows what it is. It is nothing more than a plant version of the "Male Drowning Spring", which is indeed in line with the abilities of the Forest of Dreams.
But the rules have been set. Even Kolos has to earn points to redeem them. And if it is targeted research and development, I am afraid that it will have to pay additional research and development expenses, which is not a small amount.
Looking at Kolos who was busy up and down with a bright smile, I still didn’t say the truth that hurt my morale.
"Support from the church will arrive soon. With your popularity in the church and those weird fans, I think even if you are willing to 'spend' ten thousand points to develop that thing, your colleagues will be willing to 'spend' three
Thousands of points prevent the research and development from being successful. Even if you succeed in developing the 'Male Drowning Spring', the other party will have already successfully researched the 'Male Drowning Spring'." (To be continued~^~)
