At the end of the sentence, General Pedro couldn't help but sigh quietly, "I suddenly said so much, Lord Sean won't find me annoying, right?"
"It's my honor to listen to the general's teachings." Sean complimented.
"Teachings don't count, they are just words from my heart that I don't want to take to the grave." Pedro shook his head and said, "About Blood Castle and this war, you must have many questions. If you want to know anything, feel free to ask. I only have one
Please do your best to rescue His Majesty and the brothers trapped inside. Neither Vincent nor Rachel can rely on you for this matter."
"Why did the general place so much hope and trust in me as soon as we met? Whether it was about curing your curse or rescuing the Grand Duke." Sean asked the biggest doubt in his heart.
General Pedro placed too much faith in himself.
Before this, the two parties had only met a few times, and there was no in-depth understanding.
Even if it was because of General Arnold, he knew more about himself than he imagined, and it was only limited to conventional information, and he had no idea about the power of the law he had mastered.
"Your Excellency, you are a fan of the authorities. Didn't you notice the changes in my body?" General Pedro's eyes flashed with wisdom that was inconsistent with his rough appearance. "When I first met Your Excellency, it was difficult for me to even speak. Now I am making a long speech.
, I don’t even need to breathe, I haven’t been this relaxed for a long time, and the monster in my body is almost gone.
This is something unprecedented, which shows that it feels threatened by you. Is this judgment more powerful than my judgment?"
"So that's it." Sean suddenly realized, secretly sighing in his heart that General Pedro had been in power for many years. He relied on more than just his bravery, and he became somewhat wary of the cunning of the Shadow Seed.
This thing may be more difficult to deal with than the Shadow Claw.
While they were talking, the shadowy aura on General Pedro's body had gradually faded, and now only a faint trace remained.
This guy had been secretly peeping and observing him. He felt the strong power of law in him and immediately hid himself.
If Sean hadn't obtained enough information from the Shadow Claw and knew how difficult the Shadow Seed was, he might have fooled this guy into thinking that General Pedro's illness was not as serious as he thought, and that the cure would be easy.
Suffer a big loss.
This is good, it can make them calm and honest, and it also makes it easier for them to talk. Sean does have a lot of questions to ask General Pedro. The more information he has, the easier it will be for him to rush to the Blood Castle. He is sincere about this.
Seriously, he has to do this both publicly and privately.
This is not inconsistent with breaking the backbone of the Byron Alliance.
Yu Gong.
What Sean needs is the partial collapse of the Byron Alliance, so that the Eternal Night Army can have an excuse to intervene in the situation of the Byron Alliance, thereby expanding its influence, gaining more say, and leading future plane wars.
Instead of promoting a full-scale war and turning the entire Byron Alliance into an uncontrollable pot of gruel.
Break and then stand.
It is indeed a method that treats the symptoms and root causes.
But the cost is also huge, and everything needs to be built from scratch.
Their enemies will not leave them such sufficient preparation time. Once the invasion begins, the pace will only become faster and faster, and there will be more and more enemies.
Narentoya is just an insignificant chess piece, an advance guard.
In private.
He was trying to make up for the guilt he felt towards Sophilia, Archduke Cedric, and the loyal soldiers like Broken Bloodline.
This time he was plotting against his wife's natal family, and he knew very well how close Sophilia and Archduke Cedric were.
This matter will remain a secret in his heart forever, and he must never let anyone know about it.
"How much does the general know about the intelligence on Blood Castle? Did you send the news about the fall of Blood Castle to the outside world?" Sean asked.
News from the Duankou Blood Fortress was completely cut off by the gray fog. Information from outside could not be transmitted, and information from inside could not be transmitted. The lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians inside were unknown.
Although the situation at the broken line of defense is collapsing, it has not yet completely collapsed. Someone must have spread the news in advance.
"Yes." General Pedro nodded and admitted, "Without this method, there is no way to attract the attention of those selfish local lords. I just hope that when the orcs enter the country in large numbers, they will not respond hastily. As for what they will do
Whether they are willing to send reinforcements northward or not is their business."
There was indescribable sadness in General Pedro's words.
There is no anger, only sadness.
He or they, the entire Duanmai defense line has already adapted to this indifference.
They have the belief to protect them to the end, but the people they protect never give them the respect and support that matches their beliefs.
This kind of dedication is not directly proportional to the reward, which further highlights their preciousness and makes people unable to help but feel awe.
"The war with the Theodin Empire was normal for the first two months. Two weeks ago, Ulan Baz gathered his main force and launched a crazy attack on the Blood Castle. We thought Ulan Baz was in a hurry.
They jumped over the wall and prepared to fight to the death. Little did they know that this was a trap they had carefully prepared in order to attract the main force of the blood knights back to the blood castle, and then launched a crazy blood sacrifice.
I believe you have guessed the rest. Blood Castle was shrouded in gray fog overnight, and Odin orcs launched an attack across the board. Without the command and support of Blood Castle, each fortress could only fight alone...
"
"Blood sacrifice?" Sean thought, and asked, "How much does the general know about this blood sacrifice?"
"Those orcs performed blood sacrifices before the war to boost morale. This kind of bloody method was not uncommon before, but the scale was not particularly large. Most of them mainly slaughtered animals. This time, the scale was unprecedentedly large. Not only were there a large number of animals, but also several
There are tens of thousands of slaves, but we don’t know whether the blood sacrifice is related to the gray fog that shrouds the Blood Castle." General Pedro spread his hands and said that he knew so much.
"This is enough. At least it points the way for me to find the source of the disaster." Sean felt that he had grasped crucial information.
The barrier of their plane has not yet completely collapsed, and it is not enough to allow the behemoth of the Shadow Mistress to extend its tentacles, including allowing a large-scale influx of twisted nightmares, even with the help of the Ashbone Tower.
To arrive, you must pass through the obvious gate or gap in the second world.
It's just that there are exceptions to everything.
There is also a more cunning way to temporarily bring these unspeakable monsters to the world.
This method is blood sacrifice, a large-scale blood sacrifice.
A large amount of blood and souls will obscure the laws of the plane and become a bright beacon for a designated Shadow Mistress.
Although this temporary arrival is short-lived, the plane barrier that reacts will immediately squeeze it out.
However, the strength of this terrifying creature that can devour and dominate a plane has exceeded ordinary people's imagination. Even looking directly at it can make normal people lose their minds and fall into madness.
Not to mention a few hours, even if you give it just a few minutes, it can do a lot of things beyond ordinary people's imagination.
The army led by Archduke Cedric may be able to sustain itself for a while by guarding the battle flag against ordinary twisted nightmares. But if it faces the personal attack of a Shadow Matron, what is the current situation in the Blood Castle?
It's hard to say.
Sean did not reveal any of this concern to General Pedro, "General, are you ready? If you are, let us see who is playing tricks in your body."
"You can do it at any time." General Pedro nodded and said, "What do you need me to do? Just tell me. Either he dies or I die today."
"You don't need to do anything." Sean stepped forward and put a hand on General Pedro's forehead. Golden light invisible to the naked eye flashed, and a steady stream of law power gathered, following Sean's
His right hand surged into General Pedro's body.
It was also the first time for Sean to encounter a unique energy parasitic monster like the Shadow Seed, let alone get rid of it.
The only way I can think of is the power of law, and only the power of law.
Use the power of law to baptize General Pedro's body and soul to expel or obliterate him.
The power of law he now controls is massive.
Even during the patrol period, he frantically consumed the power of law to build the law infrastructure, and he still has 110,000 law power in his hands.
Knowing that Blood Castle is likely to fall into the hands of enemies of the law such as shadow creatures, of course the power of the law as a sharp weapon to kill them must be brought along.
This is why, after the shadow seed in General Pedro saw Sean, it was like seeing a natural enemy, dormant and dormant.
Not to mention an ordinary twisted nightmare, even if a Shadow Matron were present, if Sean's fist, which contained the power of a hundred thousand laws, would hit it, it would be so painful that it would twitch.
Although this carpet removal method is a bit clumsy, it is very easy to use.
Wherever the power of law passed, a faint black mist flowed out of General Pedro's body, and the color of the skin immediately became much rosier.
Pedro couldn't help but reveal a comfortable and relaxed expression.
Ever since he was sprayed with a mouthful of blood by the blood knight controlled by the living dead before his death, he felt like he was wearing a pair of heavy armor on his back, getting heavier and heavier.
Not only are physical activities becoming more and more strenuous, but even thinking is becoming slower and slower. I always fall asleep unknowingly and have nightmares one after another. Those souls that have died directly or indirectly in my hands are found again.
I want to drag myself into hell.
If you can kill them once, you can kill them a second time and a third time.
But the nightmares are endless, they can always come back from the dead and come to your door again and again.
General Pedro felt that he had not slept comfortably for a long, long time.
…
"Everyone who stands in the way of my Lord's plan shall die."
General Pedro, who was dazed and sleepy a moment ago, suddenly raised his head again.
Black mist spurted out, and his eyes were soaked in pure black, revealing a rich and substantive madness and evil. He grabbed Sean's hand on his forehead with his left hand, closed his right hand into a fist, and punched him.
General Pedro, who suddenly rose up, was frighteningly powerful, and his attack speed was also astonishing. He did not look like he was terminally ill and might die at any moment.
"Well done." Sean was not surprised but overjoyed.
What he fears most is that the Shadow Seeds are playing hostage tactics with him, threatening General Pedro's life and refusing to show up.
He was not afraid of the toughness in front of him.
With a thought, the power of law surged crazily, spreading upwards along the arm that Pedro held him, forming a fishnet-like net of law.
The same method was used to deal with the attacking arm.
General Pedro, or to be more precise, before the counterattack of the shadow seed in General Pedro took shape, it was tied into a rice dumpling by the rope woven by the power of law.
The billowing black mist immediately emits sizzling white smoke after encountering the power of the law.
The inhuman wails and screams came from the depths of General Pedro's body.
These gray fogs are part of the Seed of Shadows.
Sean struck while the iron was hot, and the power of the law clung to the gray mist, destroying everything along the way.
In the face of natural enemies, the Shadow Seed could not form any decent resistance at all, and Sean quickly traced it back to its origin.
It was a multi-clawed monster that resembled a facehugger, except that the facehugger was completely an amorphous mass of shadows. The tentacles protruding from it extended to various organs, blood vessels, and organs of General Pedro's body.
in nerves.
This is probably the crux of why General Pedro felt that his body was seriously out of control.
The shadow seed was indeed fighting with him for control of his body.
Once it becomes powerful enough, it will dominate everything about the host, whether body or soul.
Encountering the purest power of law, the previous efforts of the Shadow Seed were completely in vain. In just a few minutes, it was expelled and purified completely.
Including the body of the Shadow Seed, the energy facehugger let out a shrill wail, turned into a ball of energy, and completely dissipated.
"Is this a success?" Not only did Sean not feel the joy of success, but he frowned a little.
Judging from the memories of the Shadow Claws he absorbed, it is very troublesome to get rid of being parasitized by the Shadow Seed, especially after being parasitized for a long time.
Isn't it a little too easy to get it yourself?
General Pedro shivered and woke up from his stupor. He looked at Sean and said, "What just happened? Did I fall asleep? Hey, I can no longer feel the erosion.
, has the monster in my body been expelled? Haha... Good boy, I knew you were worthy of my heavy responsibility. Hey, why can't I move now? Can your Lord, please let me go?"
"General, please be patient. I will check it carefully for you to see if there is anything missing." Out of his cautious instinct, Sean did not take back the power of the law, but was prepared to spend a little more time.
