Cohen said this, but how will this battle be fought? What is lined up on the deck at this time is undoubtedly the most prosperous and luxurious lineup in the history of Sbia, but all their experience comes from the mortal world.
war. If this kind of war experience is applied to the war with false gods, is it really appropriate? Will false gods restrain them?
Almost all the Sibia people present had such concerns, but the returnee leaders generally did not worry about this. At the meeting, they even skipped the intelligence preparation stage and directly began to discuss troop arrangements. Of course, this kind of unusual
The professional attitude was immediately intercepted by the Sibia generals - if it were not for their status as returnees, they would not even be qualified to attend the meeting.
"The intelligence we currently have is very little, and it is all unconfirmed information, even from an unknown number of years ago." Mafa, who often shows off at military meetings, sounded dull at this time. He looked at the peripheral intelligence providers.
"Sorry for any offense, but in war we can't completely trust this information - this is the first time I study the opponent in hymns."
"Your Excellency Mafa, the twelve heroic epics of our clan are absolutely true." A leader among the returning elves looked up, with respect for his ancestors and disdain for questioning voices on his face, "These battles
The epic is written with the blood of our ancestors, and every line is a precious treasure that will never fade with the passage of time!"
"The epic is good and catchy, but that happened thousands of years ago!" Jack tugged on the collar of the justice's robe and supported his debtor, "Intelligence is subject to timeliness, you want us to rely on this
Growing things to fight is so disrespectful of people!"
"Your Excellency, our ancient ancestors told us that the glory of a warrior is fighting and sacrifice. It would be a shame to die in bed." Another leader of the returnees spoke slowly, "Your Excellency, the Chosen One, said the key is to win.
Faith is the first priority. As long as we gather under the crown of the Mother Goddess and take this faith as the ultimate goal, we can continue..."
Among the core members of Sibia present, Moya, the most "respected" general, said nothing at this time. His eyes were straight ahead, looking enigmatic. And next to him, Geert, a man whose bold image deeply impressed the hearts and minds of the people and the military.
After hearing similar words, the general sneered: "Use blood as a sword and loyalty as armor, right?"
The returnees didn't know what was going on, but the people in Sbia all sneered. For them, this sentence was not unfamiliar at all. As early as when Cohen first entered the battlefield, the headquarters of the Divine Alliance Army and the Temple of Light often used this sentence.
This tone spoke to the following, and Cohen's corresponding speech was engraved in the hearts of every general. The essence of this sentence runs through every war.
"For me, as long as it can save my soldiers from dying, even if it means one less death, I will do anything! You will do the same in the future, no matter what method it is, and you don't care what others think, as long as
If it is beneficial to us, we can do it! Other personal reputations and so on... throw them away from me from now on!"
Cohen is now crossing his legs and looking like he is doing nothing. That is because his status is not suitable for direct conflict with the opponent. He is now a leader and an arbiter. Therefore, the returner's attitude will be denied by the Sbia soldiers.
Amid the surge of disgust, everyone was thinking: Even deceiving people is a pattern. Are you really not sent by false gods to punish us?
In fact, this kind of slander is a bit excessive. Strictly speaking, these returnees are not superiors and subordinates to the false gods. They are only related to certain people from the false gods. To explain this kind of thing clearly, we must start from the root.
.
Because of the crusade against false gods, the Source of Life had a long talk with Cohen and handed over relevant information to Cohen. Many of the secrets were revealed for the first time, and Cohen finally learned about the legends and truths that had been covered up.
.Although Cohen himself doesn’t care much about the ins and outs of the matter, he has led everyone to this point. No matter what the considerations are, the truth of the matter should be announced. Even the real reason for the false god’s rebellion must be here
be explained when.
People can't fight because of a vague cause, that would be irresponsible to themselves.
But when they learned about the whole thing, Sibia's generals and senior officials all felt the same as what Cohen said - the so-called epics and legends are mostly messy, long and smelly bullshit! Who has the patience to study this stuff?
Son? It would be even more unforgivable to tie one's life to the stupid omissions of historical figures...
The information given by the Source of Life is relatively complete, starting from the very beginning - the four elemental gods are her first descendants, while light and darkness were born later. From a genetic point of view, these six abilities are powerful
The gods were brothers and sisters. But later on, the two twin brothers were smarter than their elder brother and sister, so they secretly plotted a conspiracy, and finally rebelled against each other.
Planning a series of connections is a must. With only light and darkness, the rebellion cannot succeed, because in terms of individual force, they have no advantage over the Four Gods. They must have a group of dedicated followers, and these followers are called "servants".
Followers of the "tribe". In fact, it is these followers who fan the flames of evil everywhere, so that they can lure the snake out of its hole and divert the four gods away.
The followers of the Attendant clan did not arise because of the rebellion of the false gods. They are actually the products of the source of life that created life in large quantities. They also have their own exclusive islands in the outer sea. Because of the rise of the human race, the situation on the Bis continent has become increasingly complicated. In order to calm down
In the dispute, the source of life appointed light and darkness to intervene, but there were so many things involved that two gods alone could not finish it. Therefore, the servants began to work under the six gods who were born before.
The six bosses all have followers who only serve the light. If it were the darkness, that would be too unfair.
At the same time, the followers do not serve a certain god as a whole clan, but as a unit under the clan. For example, the guardian elf Mashna clan is a branch of the elves that follows the wind god. So the thirty-six clans,
Each clan has several branches, the least of which is seven, because the mother goddess also needs to be served.
The thirty-six tribes on the dividing line between gods and demons actually have origins, because they are the remnants of the Garden of Gods. The false gods also see this in mind, and will leave them a glimmer of hope in the past when the world is destroyed. But the destruction
Once the number of lives increased, the Thirty-Six Tribes fell into a very miserable state. Not to mention inheritance, even the basic ability to protect themselves was lost. But the pseudo-god obviously has the kind of style that only cares about your food, not whether you eat well.
, so they didn’t give much to the Thirty-Six Tribes. One of the consequences was that the returnees generally looked down on the people of the Thirty-Six Tribes. In fact, they looked down on no one but themselves.
At that time, because the affairs of light and darkness were the most arduous, the servants around them were also the most powerful. This makes people wonder: they were the most powerful before the rebellion, so how powerful are they now?
?
The only fact that Cohen knows clearly is that the members of the "Gods" and "Demons" that appeared before humans were not composed of servants of false gods, but twisted beings born by extracting human souls and re-injecting energy.
It is a tool used by the false gods to manage the continent of Bis.
Why is this so? Let's start with the only race that does not belong to the servant clan - this is human beings.
When she created the Four Gods, the source of life was obviously still relatively unfamiliar, so the Four Gods were composed of elemental bodies. When creating light and darkness, her techniques had improved, so the twins were actually elements and flesh.
When other life forms were subsequently created, the Source of Life had obviously reached the stage of mass production, and had many new ideas and thoughts. Therefore, the thirty-six ethnic groups each had their own characteristics in terms of body composition and abilities. At the same time, these ethnic groups
He no longer possesses the strong individual characteristics of Liushen.
Among the thirty-six tribes, the elves were the last to be born, and they are also the race closest to humans, but they still did not satisfy the source of life. The elves have high intelligence and long lifespan, and can master magic and other life skills well, but they have never been able to expand the tribe.
Quantity - The original intention of creating the source of life is of course to move the world to a higher level. If the quantity is too small, it will obviously not be able to achieve the goal.
Driven by demand, the source of life once again underwent technological innovation, and humankind was born.
Human beings are not too strong in physique, not too long in life, not too intelligent, and cannot master advanced life skills, but they are the most balanced in all aspects. Under the control of primitive desires, this kind of individual-centered
Life can form a tight group and improve the world with combined strength and wisdom. In fact, human beings' desire and ability to transform the world are stronger than the thirty-six races combined.
But it is precisely because of primitive desires that humans have too many disputes with other races and even within themselves, triggering countless wars and killings. Therefore, the source of life allows light and darkness to intervene - in order to obtain more
With human recognition, the actual managers will appear in human form. This is the origin of the "gods" and "demon" and the way of recognition by the source of life.
Originally everything was fine, the source of life was in the garden, and humans lived in the north and south. Light and darkness were also responsible for their own affairs. Although humans had disputes of one kind or another, due to their abilities, the consequences
None of it was too bad. But neither the Source of Life nor the Six Gods thought that humans would make a self-breakthrough—a breakthrough that would shock their jaws!
To be honest, Cohen was deeply shocked when he was told about this.
In fact, when listening to the previous stories, Cohen wanted to ask the source of life, where have the dragons gone? In the story of the source of life, from the birth of the six gods to the rebellion of light and darkness, for a long time in between, she
There was no mention of the existence of the Dragon Clan. Did she forget it? Obviously impossible!
"It was an accident." At that time, the source of life sighed and was silent for a while before speaking again, "Dragon clan, it was an accident."
"Accident?" At that time, Cohen just nodded perfunctorily, "I was also surprised when I saw the Dragon Clan..."
"From a human perspective, the dragon race is arrogant and unruly, powerful and invincible, and firmly occupies the strongest position among the alien races." The source of life asked Cohen, "Why would such an aloof race lower its status to deal with humans?"
Cohen looked back to make sure that a certain dragon was not there, then leaned forward: "I don't think they have lowered their posture."
"In the dragon clan's classics, humans are one of the races that cannot interact with each other. In fact, they have very few interactions with all races. This is the established attitude and stance of their clan." The source of life said, "But in every day, they have very little contact with all races.
For a period of time, dragons will have private interactions with humans, and at some point, dragon elders will even acquiesce to such interactions. Why is this?"
Cohen sat up straight, straightened his collar, and said shamelessly: "Because I'm handsome and have a good temperament!"
"That's right." The source of life actually nodded, "You are very understanding."
Cohen's face was filled with guard against the magician: "Even if you compliment me so much, I will not become a monk with you!"
"You say such weird things again." The source of life shook his head helplessly.
Cohen thought to himself that I haven’t called you Shitai yet! That’s enough to give you face!
"Actually, the Dragon Clan is not close to a specific human being, but to the entire human race." The source of life said, "Aren't you surprised? Everyone in the Dragon Clan is proficient in human language. In addition to the main body, the most commonly used
They are all in human form. Among all the images that can change, the human appearance is the most completely modified, even changing with the age and ability of the dragon clan itself..."
"I didn't notice this." Cohen became serious, "But what you mean is..."
"Dragons and humans actually come from the same source."
"No way!" Cohen jumped up on the spot, "This is too ridiculous!"
"This is a fact, and the birth of the dragon clan is one of the main reasons for the rebellion of light and darkness. Their dissatisfaction with me gradually arose when I interfered in the management of human beings. They think that there is no hope for Bisi to develop like this. Now that I think about it, they
Although the idea is irreversible, the dragon clan’s affairs are the real driving force for the entire process.”
"What does the dragon clan have to do with the false god rebellion?"
Cohen subconsciously asked this sentence, but immediately, he realized the key to the matter. In fact, it is very simple to say, if the dragons are really homologous to humans, then as the false gods of superiors, they must combine the dragons and humans.
Human beings are regarded as a group and a high level of precaution is required.
"Since its birth, human beings have never stopped pursuing power. In this process, the pursuit of behavior has divided into two extremes. One is to enhance power through external factors, such as building better tools and inventing better methods.
"The other is to improve the inner self. Exercise and accumulation are the most common ways." The source of life finally told the origin of the dragon clan, "But the development of the latter has made humans feel more and more limited by their own bodies, so
Some people decided to break through this limit."
"Through various means, they obtained some incomplete ways to create life, and studied all life forms with strong bodies. Finally, they designed a body that they considered perfect... As a result, the Dragon Clan was born, and there were many of them." The Life of Life
Yuan said, "The dragon clan in their dreams has a body and wisdom that exceeds that of the thirty-six clans, can accommodate the strongest power, and has enough lifespan to pass on. However, the dragon clan that was first born, due to the rapid accumulation of power, became more powerful in the thirty-six clans.
Most of them died within a month."
"It's so crazy." Cohen commented fairly on these human actions. "What happened next?"
"Later, they were captured by light and darkness and brought before me."
"You have improved the Dragon Clan." Cohen knew the development of things without even thinking about it. He knew the rules of the Source of Life.
"Yes, I saved the Dragon Clan and kept them by my side." The Source of Life nodded, "But this incident worried the light and darkness. They often had conflicts with the Dragon Clan. In order to resolve the conflict, I moved some of the Dragon Clan.
Go to the outer sea and arrange the highest shielding magic, hoping that they can live well there."
"They rebelled not long after, right?" Cohen finally knew all this. "Humanity's previous disputes did not cause a subversive situation due to limitations in abilities, but because of the dragon clan, the threat to humans has greatly increased.
If the dragons join the human disputes, even light and darkness will feel very troublesome. I think, after persuading to no avail, the false gods will blame the matter on the most fundamental place, which is your attitude towards humans.
superior."
"Indeed." The source of life responded positively to Cohen's conjecture at that time.
She is very candid about this.
Afterwards, when Cohen relayed this incident, his brothers shook their heads and refused to believe it. Dragons, so big and powerful, actually come from the same origin as humans? This is too much of a joke.
Big!
"Dragons are born from eggs... eggs!" Someone came up with strong evidence to refute.
"That's because the Dragon Clan's eggshell itself is a heritage magic circle. Every new Dragon Clan must learn the most basic knowledge in it with a blank sheet of paper." The leisurely Fichet explained at the side,
"I heard that the longest period of study is fifty years..."
"Fifty years? Who said that?" Cohen asked while glancing at the silent Bai Ying, fearing that she would break out and hurt someone.
"Of course it's the highly respected Grand Elder of the Dragon Clan." Fichet replied, "The one you're unhappy with."
Right now, when the military meeting is getting into a debate, the dragon that Cohen is unhappy with is spreading its huge wings and flying over the fleet, its golden body shining in the sun... Even the elders of the dragon clan will offend Cohen.
Being sent to such a hard job of vigilance, he didn't even have the chance to participate in this argument.
However, the returnees who attended the meeting did not know the consequences of offending Cohen, and even if they knew, they might not care, so the debate continued. General Sbia insisted not to start an attack when the situation was unclear, but the returners repeatedly requested
Immediately carry out the most violent attack and kill the false god in one go.
The two opinions are difficult to reconcile.
This is actually a collision of two values...Sibiya is naturally a more progressive party in consciousness. Under the influence of Cohen, the core values of the empire are also reflected in ordinary soldiers. However, the returner leaders, frankly speaking, they
The race only has the rudiments of a rudimentary society and does not consider warriors at all. It is strange that a general and a savage can get along with each other when discussing tactics.
This kind of argument is fundamentally unnecessary. Cohen only needs to establish his dominant identity. But firstly, he cannot say this by himself, and secondly, he has other plans for this kind of disagreement. Therefore, he gave the returnees insistence.
Space.
"Everyone is very energetic!" When the quarrel gradually escalated to the point of slamming the table, Cohen said, "How about we go back and wait for the city to discuss it before we come back?"
The two sides immediately stopped fighting, but they still looked at each other unconvinced.
"That person who was hiding and drinking secretly violated military discipline!" Cohen glanced at Fichet, "Do you have anything to say to offset the merit?"
Fichet's identity has gradually become public. At least in the crusade, his true identity is known to everyone.
"I just have some thoughts." Fichet put down his wine glass and said calmly but in fact he was completely negative. "Everyone's words are reasonable, but they all have shortcomings."
"Of course it is a good thing to make complete preparations before the war." He looked at the Sibiya generals, "But the longer the delay, the better prepared the false gods will be...compared to trying to plunder the family fortune, they are stronger."
"In any war, unswerving will and belief in victory are necessary, but if we blindly elevate our spirits and ignore reality, we will get nothing but failure." Before the returnees could reveal themselves,
With an expression of appreciation, Fichet struck down the stick, "In war, the spirit is the sharp blade, but it is also the most vulnerable part. We can use it to open a gap and complete a decisive blow, but we want to
To run through the entire war would break it."
"Anything unfamiliar needs to be tried, and the same goes for war." Fichet paused, "There is a saying among soldiers that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. If you don't fight, you can't understand. If you fight, you have to improve in the process.
Self...The key is that we need a unified command. During the war, we must trust him without reservation and must not go against his decision."
"No problem, we can follow the command of the chosen one!" The returnees are not fools, of course they understand what Fichet means, "But you just said that our understanding of the false gods is limited to the superficial level, so the real attack
How to unfold it?”
It seems that the returnees are very curious and shameless.
"In a war that has to be fought, the correct method to use when the enemy's situation is unknown." Fichet calmly showed the courage of a traditional royal family, "That is violence."
"Violence?" Not only the returnees, but also the generals began to scratch their heads: "Is there such a way to fight?"
"Of course there is, and it's simple and practical." Fichet said seriously, "Pour all the prepared magic on the heads of the false gods and smash open their shells!"
"Then what?" everyone asked.
"If our commander is calm enough and smart enough, then we can find a better way in this process." Fichet thought carefully for a while, "If we can't find it, then we will have to go home and prepare to fight with the false gods.
Negotiation...but we can legitimately place the responsibility for the failure on this commander!"
Cohen, who was drinking water without warning, was choked by Fichet's last words. (To be continued)
