Chapter 628: Battle of Cormanzo(1/4)
"What the hell is wrong with me?"
Elenon raised her arm and looked at her bright red muscle arm wrapped in white porcelain and murmured to herself.
As a typical New Phyrexia creature, she should not have any emotions such as fear, confusion, and confusion. She lives to realize New Phyrexia's lofty concept of "unification of all realms."
But now, after learning that there is another consciousness in my body, I still feel some strong uneasiness.
In addition, as the father of New Phyrexia, Karn has begun to behave more and more strangely recently, often giving some strange orders to the church members who serve him.
For example, collect some inexplicable materials, and then fuse them together through some kind of magic and technology to create strange creations.
Moreover, a large number of members of the White Faction's Mechanical Orthodoxy have undergone a 180-degree turn in their thoughts and consciousness.
You must know that today's New Phyrexia is not the old Phyrexia dominated by its creator Yawgmoth.
Strictly speaking, the Demon Judges are all leaders selected and shaped by Shuoyou. Strictly speaking, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates.
This means that if you want to unite them without engaging in internal fighting, you must first unify your thoughts and ideologies, and then establish common goals and interests on this basis.
The Mechanic Orthodoxy currently plays such a role.
Elenon simply couldn't imagine what a terrible disaster it would be for New Phyrexia if there were problems within the Mechanic Orthodoxy or simply split.
Don't talk about "the unification of all realms". Otherwise, you might start a brutal civil war, or even lead to the collapse of Mirrodin's time and space.
After all, the Demon Judges of all factions believe that their own ideas are the most correct and can lead New Phyrexia to glory and victory.
Just when the Prince Regent, who called himself the "Grand Monk," was trying to figure out what happened to him, the white porcelain body and the blood-red muscles exposed after peeling off the skin suddenly froze in place.
After a full minute, her raised arm moved again. It was no longer as graceful as before. Instead, it became extremely crazy and bloodthirsty. She directly scratched a blood mark on herself, then put it in her mouth and sucked it.
He laughed wildly at the mirror and said: "Hahahaha! My other self, I'm afraid you wouldn't have dreamed that I was about to successfully seize control of this body, right?"
As long as the new scintillation oil completely drives the old scintillation oil out of the engine, all of New Phyrexia will become the owner's possession.
I didn't control my body for a long time before, not because I couldn't do it, but because I didn't want to alert you too early.
But now it's too late.
I have firmly taken the lead, but you are becoming weaker and weaker as the old oil fades.
When the final moment comes, whether it is you or the silver golem Kahn, you will eventually have to serve the master's great plan.
Unification of all worlds?
Your ridiculous plan, which is full of loopholes, is nothing compared to the master."
As the last word blurted out, Elenon, who showed a completely opposite side, directly tore off the huge white porcelain panel above her head that covered her nose, revealing a creepy red face.
Black shimmering oil slowly flowed out from the corners of the eyes and the torn parts of the cheek muscles, dripping down to the ground.
In the next few minutes, she pulled off all the white porcelain parts bit by bit, exposing all the muscles wrapped inside to the air, and opened her arms as if to release her suppressed nature.
The flesh and blood behind him even spread out a pair of red wings like a fallen angel under the transformation of Shuoyou.
The shimmering oil engine on the chest glowed with a holy white light.
Although Elenon is like a skinned woman at this moment, looking bloody and terrifying, it is full of inexplicable twisted beauty, which makes people want to stop and watch.
She herself danced a weird dance with light steps, while humming an unknown tune.
Under the influence of the powerful white mana, the torn parts of the body healed quickly, leaving not even a trace of scar.
After the song ended, Elenon turned and left the room and issued a war mobilization order to her subordinates.
Unlike the other Elenon who knew nothing about the upcoming expedition, she had obviously learned that the entire New Phyrexia was about to travel across time and space to an unfamiliar universe through the information conveyed by the New Shimmering Oil, so she did not want to miss this important event.
action.
After all this is done, the consciousness born from the new oil will dress the white porcelain neatly again and return control of the body to Elenon.
Although she has gained an overwhelming advantage in this secret struggle for dominance, she can almost take over the body whenever she wants.
But in order to completely eliminate her original consciousness and personality once and for all without leaving any hidden dangers, she would rather create an illusion that she is the weaker party to deceive.
In order to maintain confidentiality, even the other four Demon Judges did not know that the real Elenon had been infiltrated for a long time.
At this point, the entire Mirrodin has completely entered a state of war.
…
At the same time, far above the endless Cormanthor Forest in Faerûn, the elven army finally arrived at the location of the ruins of Myth Drannor after flying for several days.
Looking down at the broken eaves and broken walls here, as well as the stones covered with weeds, trees, vines and moss, Silinxi suddenly felt filled with emotion.
Because when she left, the country, although full of disappointing power struggles and political divisions, still maintained a semblance of unity, and the cities were still rich and prosperous.
But now, Myth Drannor has become a gathering place for monsters, adventurers, thieves, and dark elves.
Although these guys couldn't enter the core area because the Mystery Lock was still working, it would be a lie to say that they weren't sad to see what they had spent countless efforts building completely collapse.
Fortunately, Silinxi has never been a sentimental person. Her long life has taught her how to hide her mood swings, and she has remained arrogant and indifferent from beginning to end. She asked the mage beside her directly: "How is it, not yet."
Can you confirm where those dark elves are stationed?"
"Sorry, ma'am.
The other party obviously used magic to block the detection of all prophecy magic.
Unless we land on the ground and search carefully.
Otherwise, it is basically impossible to find them.
And according to the reports from previous spies, these drow often migrate within a certain range and rarely settle in a certain place for a long time.
So the location we explored last time is now empty and only an abandoned camp remains."
The mage explained helplessly.
This is also a typical characteristic of dark elves who leave the Underdark and settle in the surface world.
Due to the empty sky above their heads and the wide field of vision around them, they who are accustomed to living in dark areas lack a sense of security. They always feel that these empty places hide countless enemies and dangers.
Only when they find large enough caves, underground tunnels and solid stone castles will these guys choose to defend themselves.
Otherwise, you will basically move to another place after staying for a while.
Especially the dark elves living in the Cormanthor area often have a certain tendency of nomadic herding, fishing and hunting.
They would not choose to settle down and farm at all, but would rather go south to plunder villages and towns in the valley, or make deals with merchants and rob caravans to get what they need.
Before Sambia descended into civil war, the country's profit-seeking merchant groups had established a fragile trade with the Dark Elves.
However, as Sembia fell into civil war and the land caravans to the north almost disappeared, they could only have limited cooperation with Zhentil Keep and the Zhentarim.
"Didn't you say that the Jelle family with 8,000 people is near the royal court? Could it be that such a big target can't be found?"
Silinxi stood on the flight deck and looked down at the ground, her tone clearly showing a hint of disappointment and dissatisfaction.
The mage smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You think of the problem too simply.
There are indeed more than 8,000 dark elves in the Jelle family, but they do not always gather together.
Instead, they disperse into small communities that control hundreds of square kilometers of surrounding forest.
The only ones stationed near the royal court are mages and warlocks who can crack the mystery. The total number should not exceed 300 people.
In addition, considering the drow's aversion to sunlight, they will definitely not choose to operate during the day.
So this brings great difficulty to the investigation.
You should know how difficult it is to find a group of dark elves at night who can't even make a sound when they walk and run.
Often they will discover us before our people discover them.
As for aerial reconnaissance...
The dense tree canopy alone is enough to cover a large area of the ground, so I emphasized the need to land and search on the ground."
"Damn! So you're saying we're going to play a game of hide-and-seek with these guys in the forest of Cormanzo?"
Silinxi held her forehead and felt a headache.
Because this kind of small-scale scattered war is exactly the result she least wants to see.
After all, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, these "young master soldiers" with luxurious equipment from Yongju Island may not necessarily be able to defeat the drow who have been struggling to survive in harsh environments for a long time.
What's more, the latter is famous for being good at sneak attacks.
