Although he verbally slandered and trampled on the two false god kings countless times, Cohen never underestimated the powerful ability of the false gods. On the contrary, after Dicheng used sudden tactics to reverse the situation, he paid great attention to the incomparable anger contained in the other party.
Countermeasures. Based on the information available at hand, Cohen repeatedly speculated and deduced the follow-up actions of the pseudo-god, and also made countermeasures.
However, from the moment he set foot on Paradise and Hell Island, Cohen knew that he might have oversimplified things. Because within his sight, there were defenders and magic circles of the other party, but they were missing.
A tense and depressing atmosphere of a bloody battle or even a deadly battle. With Cohen personally leading the crusade to suppress the situation, and with the opponent not having much strength left, this phenomenon is very abnormal. In any case, the false god has reached the point where he must fight with all his strength.
The point!
A war-experienced commander could easily smell the smell of war and conspiracy, so Cohen naturally paid attention to this anomaly.
After meeting the pseudo-God King and the pseudo-Demon King, Cohen had already confirmed his guess. Because in the temporary losers, the pseudo-God King and the pseudo-Demon King, he could see extremely subtle signs of fatigue, embarrassment, embarrassment, and even a hint of fatigue.
A little bit crazy, but there is definitely no end, no extreme emotions mixed with decadence, despair and excitement. However, they are now in a weak and critical situation, shouldn't they behave at least more hastily?
Under Cohen's powerful vision and perception, even if the other party is the king, there are extremely limited things that can be hidden.
Slowly flipping through the books given by the false god, this was certainly buying time for the crusade to land, but at the same time, Cohen was also calculating the current situation over and over in his mind, as well as the trump cards that the false god could play.
But he failed to draw a different conclusion than before... Until new situations emerged, Cohen still chose to use the established strategy.
When things progressed to the point where the false god was about to reveal his trump card, Cohen noticed something was wrong with the other party's inadvertent expression, and then knew the crux of the matter... He might have underestimated the false god's side's accumulation over countless years.
At this moment, the direction of the situation is no longer under his control.
Whenever there is a major change, a competent leader must remain calm and rational. Almost subconsciously, Cohen reviewed the whole thing in his mind, because the situation turned critical, and he would definitely not be able to bear the second accident and mistake——
At least make sure that nothing happens again on your side.
Things went smoothly up front.
Regarding this crusade, Cohen's mentality is quite relaxed. Because at this point, in terms of fighting against the pseudo-gods and demons, no matter how far the crusade goes, they will win. The only difference is that the pseudo-gods and demons will win in the end.
What a price to pay. All Cohen wants to do is use this war to achieve other goals.
Starting from the vigorous opening of the war, the crusade against the false gods developed completely according to Cohen's expectations. In the preparation stage, he successfully angered and suppressed the returnees of the thirty-six tribes, and also avoided the possibility of causing huge casualties to his own side.
A frontal attack, and then at the invitation of the false god, he entered the opponent's lair alone and began to negotiate with the unlucky pair.
There is no doubt that Cohen decided to resolve this matter through negotiation before the crusade set off. He never thought about fighting for the boring and unprincipled decision of the source of life. Let the fleet stop thousands of miles away, super far away
In Cohen's opinion, distance magic bombardment is just a polite knock on the door. If the other party doesn't come out, he will keep knocking.
In the simplest terms, war is the result of failed negotiations. In turn, war can also be a weight in negotiations. As a leader, you must understand that the struggle between the two groups is very complicated. It is normal to fight and talk, with a smile on your face.
Stabbing in the back is the essence of kingliness.
The first reason why Cohen decided to negotiate was that the people he had were not easy to come by, and it would be heartbreaking to lose one of them. As for a war of this level against the false gods, everyone only received a small amount of information from the source of life, and their grasp was very insufficient;
The second reason is naturally that the pseudo-gods have a special way of existence. They are a mixed structure of half flesh and half elements, and if they stay together, their powers will complement each other, and there may be something fishy about them. Therefore, in Cohen's view, the only way to eliminate them is to
The probability is obviously not proportional to the price to be paid.
Of course, Cohen's last reason is not so upright - this is the last battle against the false gods, but it is not the last battle against Spiya. Moreover, the way the false gods exist is very strange, and Cohen estimates that they fall into that category.
Types that are infinitely weakened or even imprisoned but cannot be truly eradicated. If the source of life does not take action, who can truly eliminate them?
Taking advantage of the situation to pursue and "kill" the false god may seem promising, but it may be a harbinger of your own demise.
The reason why allies are allies is because they have common interests, and currently, the common interest between Cohen and the Source of Life is to defeat the false god. If the false god is killed, the conflicts and differences between the allies will immediately emerge.
——This kind of contradiction and disagreement is how to manage the entire Bis continent.
Cohen has repeatedly hinted and emphasized such issues to the Source of Life, but the Source of Life has not responded directly. The Returners are the catalyst for exacerbating this disagreement. Their sudden appearance has even squeezed Cohen's search for new common ground among allies.
Benefit time.
Cohen has given the Source of Life a lot of face by not giving up his pick.
The reason why he still wants to personally lead the war is because the source of life and the returnees are in an urgent mood, and the crusade is inevitable. The real reason why Cohen pretends to be taking advantage of the unlucky guy is that he does not want to hand over the war power.
Let others... crusade against the false gods, and the returnees who have recovered their abilities will rush to do it, but no one knows what trouble they will make.
Cohen’s non-derogatory evaluation of the returnees of the thirty-six tribes is: They have been ravaged and bullied by false gods until today, and their hearts are twisted into twists. Even in a normal state of mind, this group of people’s view of the world is not false.
God is comprehensive. And Cohen represents the interests of the entire human race, which includes the Thirty-six Bisi tribes. But what are the belated returners? They will only cause trouble! They have issues with Cohen and Sibia.
Is it related to a copper plate?
Of course, Cohen will not put the demands of the returners as his first choice, which is the main reason why he suppressed the returners before. He wants the returners to know who is the boss, and to know that the fruits of victory in the eyes of Cohen Keda cannot be snatched away——
If it weren't for Fischette's buffering and mediation, Cohen's suppression plan would have been much bloody. As a good politician, he had many methods waiting behind him, which would at least make the Thirty-Six Tribes and the Returners completely opposed to each other and form a deadly enemy relationship.
——When reflecting on this, Cohen did not feel that there was anything wrong with his arrangement.
Fischette has a kind heart and a pair of insightful eyes. If he wants to take the initiative to do something, it is impossible for Cohen to object, because in Cohen's heart, opposing gods and demons has been the common goal of the two from the beginning, and it has not been until now.
Change. It would be really troublesome for him if Fischette stood aside and watched. Therefore, Cohen simply left the rear crusade to Fischette's command.
It is true that everyone in the crusade has been infused with strength, but Cohen is not optimistic about their temporary drill tactics and lineup. If they are not ready to sharpen their guns in the battle, these words are just for comfort. Using this method to deal with false gods is...
joke.
The entire army unconditionally trusted and loved Cohen. It was difficult for him to directly express this hurtful idea, so he handed over the army to Fichet - Fichet had just been resurrected, and it was inappropriate to use conservative tactics in strategic command.
It was a normal thing. Even if the crusade was dissatisfied, they had to give Fichette and Cohen a face. As for the tactics, he didn't need to think about it at all. The troops themselves could accomplish everything.
——After reflecting on this, Cohen still found no errors or omissions, and he believed that there would be no problem with the tacit understanding between himself and Fischette. In fact, as the other partner of the tacit understanding, Fischette certainly understood Cohen’s intention and accepted it.
He also did a great job down the road.
When controlling the huge force of the crusade, Fischette obviously maintained a clear mind and clear thinking. He managed the relationship between the two groups relatively harmoniously - the passionate returners were given the mission to attack the vanguard, while the humans
They are the main follow-up attack force. They can follow the returnees to observe, learn and provide support.
Originally, these two groups, which were already in conflict with each other, did not have much hope for Fichet's immediate command, because His Highness Fichet, who had just woken up, was just a handsome upstart in the eyes of most people. Yes, Si.
His Majesty, the 16th Emperor of the Bea Empire, was just a new noble in the eyes of the expeditionary army, and his actual status was roughly the same as that of Prince Bea.
Not to mention the ordinary soldiers in the crusade, even the generals and officers were not familiar with him. Because they had hung in the same tree, they had an invisible blood relationship, and with Cohen's words, they accepted Fichet. But.
Fighting such a thing can only rely on strength - Fischette's public information shows that he has not participated in several wars, let alone fought since childhood like Cohen.
But in actual arrangements and command, Fischette's performance convinced both parties.
In terms of military command, he is different from any previous commander in Sibia. Cohen's weirdness and changeability, Moya's silent killing, Geert's fierceness and ferocity, Carlos's meticulousness...the style characteristics of these people, Fei
Shet has neither.
It has to be said that the tactics used in fighting are really related to the commander's character. His strategic command style is upright and open-minded yet full of changes. He does not pursue unpredictable external factors, let alone the internal collapse of the enemy, but emphasizes giving full play to the enemy's internal collapse.
All the advantages of our own troops, linked up and down, left and right, actively create a favorable situation and form a double physical and psychological pressure on the enemy.
At the battle level, he requires the troops to be clearly interconnected and to act resolutely and decisively. Every time he cuts, he will leave a wound. He will never give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it! Only when the time is ripe and the enemy reveals a flaw, he will
Activate decisive power to launch a thunderous strike!
This command style is very traditional, very aristocratic, and can be said to be a true kingly style. However, in the implementation process, the requirements for the commander, the generals, and the troops are very high. Sibia’s previous enemies, especially the early enemies, have
More than half of them use this style of play, but most of them are trying to be like a tiger instead of a dog, and they are completely defeated in the end.
The tactics used by others were not good, but in Fichet's hands they turned out to be surprisingly good.
If nothing else, at least this kind of command style is in line with the psychology of the expeditionary army whose capabilities have greatly increased. The generals who felt the novelty devoted their attention to actual operations, which to a large extent eased the opposition between them and the returnees. Return
It's easier to get rid of those who don't, as long as they rush to the front, they won't notice anything else at all.
In the time that Cohen bought, Fischette used several exquisite small-scale attacks as a test. After discovering the reality of the defense of Paradise and Hell Island, he immediately led the returnees of the thirty-six tribes and Cohen's guards.
Rush in - the latter is the elite of the entire crusade. They are small in number but powerful in combat, and they were trained by Cohen.
On the march route chosen by Fichet, the number of pseudo-god vassal mystics was very small, and it could almost be said that they were undefended. The excited returners established an march passage without any trouble, and then surrounded Cohen
The huge palace where it is located.
Several crusade legions slowly landed, making an almost perfect strategic invasion posture behind the vanguard. The attack arrows were ready, and just waiting for Fichet's order, the central cluster could lead the two wings to attack the entire island.
But what is strange is that even though the battle has reached this level, the defensive forces of the pseudo-gods have never shown up, and even the most elite scouts cannot find their traces. Naturally, Fichet, who is well-behaved, will not be rash.
After repeated searches to no avail, he decisively ordered the crusade to destroy the defensive magic array on the island, and the returnee troops surrounding the palace immediately began to attack.
In Fichet's command concept, as long as the crusade army is allowed to fight in front of the false god, it is meaningless no matter how deeply their defense forces are hidden - apart from navigation and fire coverage, the crusade army's time is actually spent on searching.
The enemy troops are here to dismantle the defensive magic array, but time is precious and cannot be delayed indefinitely.
At the same time, Cohen, who learned about the marching pace of the troops, gradually became tougher in the negotiations with the false god. He rejected all the other party's proposals with a straight face. It seemed that he was devoted to the entrustment of the source of life and had no intention of compromising.
But in fact, this is a normal way of coping. Cohen needs to use a tough attitude to force the false god to the bottom line. At the worst, it will make the false god reveal his trump card. Although the method is not beautiful, when has he ever cared about criticism?
?
This was Cohen's pre-war arrangement. Among all the things that had happened, Cohen did not find that he had made any mistakes. If there was a mistake, no one, including Cohen, had anticipated the false god's trump card.
level of strength.
Speaking of which, Cohen even made a bet with Fichet before about the false god's trump card. At that time, he and Fichet had a relatively relaxed mentality. But when the false god revealed the result, they found that no one would be
winner.
Because the trump card displayed by the false god is a magic circle, which is a subversive twist!
When the stone tables, benches and even the floor in the Four Seasons Courtyard slid open, when the entire ground slowly rose to form a circular square, and when the golden magic lines emerged, the so-called general trend was changed... The performance of the pseudo-god
Very patiently, they allowed Cohen's army to attack the island, and even allowed Cohen's elite to stand beside them, and then they showed Cohen their trump cards.
Complicated and meticulous magic runes emerged from the depths of the ground, and countless floating lights and shadows formed a simple magical texture, extending outwards, slowly occupying the entire palace, and even covering the mountain peak.
At the same time, the two pseudo-god kings standing in the center of the magic circle also changed in temperament. The magic circle that had not yet been awakened seemed to transmit huge power to them. Every time the magic circle pattern expanded,
Arm, this kind of power increases by one point. In the end, the power is like a real substance and crushes all around, like a wall of copper and iron walls hitting it!
Cohen was already an outstanding figure whose expression remained unchanged despite the collapse of the earth, but when this change came, his brain also went blank for a moment. After this moment, Cohen began to retreat when he looked at the false god king and the false devil king.
One step, two steps, three steps, until he retreated to Fichet's side before he could catch his breath a little.
Then, he gritted his teeth and called out the name of this magic array word by word: "Eternal! Eternal! Yuan! Element! Law! Array!"
Cohen inevitably fell into the abyss of despair that he had set for his opponents before, and even his reactions were very similar: "You—you—actually—dare!"
"Of course we dare." His opponent was just as proud as he was that day, "Cohen Keda! Are you afraid?"
"Are you afraid? Are you afraid?"
This sentence echoed in the air, reaching up to the vast sky and down to the endless abyss, and then struck from all directions, piercing people's hearts like a knife.
Afraid! Of course Cohen was afraid! He was truly frightened, confused, and aggrieved. He felt like he had been slapped hard! But at the same time, he also deeply admired the two false god kings opposite him. It can be said that these two dogs
Brother Shit really turned out a card that turned decay into magic.
Eternal—Eternal—Element—Element—Dharma—Array! Anyone can imagine it!
Can anyone imagine the halo of the source of life and the corolla of the Mother Goddess who created all life?
He was very familiar with this magic circle that Cohen had been studying for several years and had personally set up and awakened not long ago, just like he was familiar with the palm prints on his own palm. Because this was the real killer he was waiting to turn around in the city! He was the one to deal with it.
The most critical part of the false god! He even practiced countless times in the illusion of the four elemental gods until he knew every change of it - but now, the false god uses it as a trump card!
Cohen is very aware of the terrifying nature of this trump card... In fact, the magic circle itself is not despairing. Before it is awakened, it cannot capture much power, and the false gods can rely on it to perform many methods.
What is really scary is what is hidden behind the magic circle.
It is not just a halo and a corolla with symbolic meaning, but the soil on which the Source of Life grows, the link between the Source of Life and the continent of Bis, and the means by which the Source of Life transforms its surging power into usable power for the life of the world.
It's even part of the Source of Life itself! Only the Source of Life can truly use it. In Dicheng, all Cohen did was cover up, awaken and protect it.
In the hands of the source of life, the eternal elemental array is the sharpest sword and the strongest shield in the world! This magic array has a symbiotic relationship with the source of life, so in the entire world of Bis, the eternal elemental array
There should never be a second one!
The only source of life, the only eternal elemental array!
Like other magic circles, the Eternal Elements Magic Circle is also drawn with various magic materials. It does not seem to be unique, but its uniqueness is precisely reflected in this: the materials required to draw the outer rune lines are precious and rare.
Of course it goes without saying, but there is one core material that is necessary and irreplaceable.
This material is a seed - the seed of the very essence of life!
Only with the seeds of the source of life as the core can the eternal elemental array be laid out. Otherwise, because of the rules set by the source of life itself, no one can draw the complete lines of this magic array - each set of symbols that make up the magic array.
The outline of the text lines requires huge initial energy. Without the buffering and purification of the core, this energy will directly destroy the magic circle itself.
After the formation is completed and stabilized, the seeds can be temporarily removed.
When the eternal element magic circle is awakened, the seeds will also be awakened by the rainbow ring. The two must grow in step to ensure the existence of the magic circle. If either side falls behind or gets ahead, it will be a catastrophic outcome.
In other words, the prerequisite for drawing a magic circle is to have the seeds of the source of life - because of this, if the eternal element magic circle exists, there must be the seeds of the source of life!
But the source of life should be the only one, and Dicheng already has it.
Now, what appears in front of Cohen is a complete eternal elemental array. From the core to the corners, there are not a single omission or missing in its tens of thousands of lines. Because it is necessary to keep it in a state about to be awakened,
Therefore, there is a golden source of magic flowing slowly in the pattern, reflecting the magnificent and strange colors... (To be continued)
