Like most early towns in the Sylfanis Territory, Esoke's site selection is quite clever and compact. Not to mention it is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, it is still the eaves type. In addition, the terrain was later used and manual excavation was used.
Above Sok, two-thirds of the sky was blocked, turning into a big belly like an urn.
And due to the need for housing later, various facilities in the town were downsized several times, so that there was not even a square, and the houses were like bamboo shoots, and most of them were connected to each other by more than one level, so it looked very messy.
Star 745 ignored these and other things under Neo's instructions. First, Ni drove the giant rhinoceros to rampage, and the siege spiders dealt with some strong ones. Then Hess used earth magic to shake the ruins. Finally, the warriors used what they had in hand and collected
After careful processing with his tools, Green suppressed the precipitation, and half of the town was completely wiped out.
With this empty field, the team members and livestock are arranged to stay in the cliff earth kilns that circle around the empty field. The team has now settled down.
During this period, Elan and Kokar were responsible for solving the problem of wandering ghosts here. Young Master Fury believed that in a bloodbathed town like Essoke, there must be unlucky ghosts. Although the people in the convoy were not weak-willed enough to be harmed by these things, they
Harassment through dreams is unavoidable. Both Elan and Kokar specialize in cultivating souls. It is not difficult for them to perform rituals. Saving the souls can be considered a good deed. Of course, they themselves are not without benefits.
During this process, Kokar became a little greedy and took up the idea of Essoke Cemetery and said: "I don't know if the dark forces have taken action. The current situation is so bad. Rather than evil turning into a disaster, why not follow me and help?"
people"
Kokar mentioned this proposal to Elan, and Elan readily agreed. It was a rare opportunity, and she also wanted to try to see if she could add a few more feather guards.
As a result, before finding a satisfactory dead soul, we first found a living person.
"Are you doing this out of deep hatred?" Elan looked at the inconspicuous hollow pipe inserted on the ground, which was obviously used for ventilation. The living person was probably put in a coffin and buried in the ground.
The other party has left such a tube that is not comfortable enough and is difficult to suffocate to death. It is obvious that the people inside are suffering.
At that time, Elan wanted to call someone to dig it out, but the centaur Kokar suddenly thought of it and said: "It would be bad if we misunderstood and released the monster."
Elan pointed at the noon sun, "I hope it is a monster!"
"It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate, let's inform the captain and them."
Ellan thought to himself: "You have been successfully brainwashed by Simon. Such a thing will alert the higher-ups." Although he thought so, he finally agreed to report it. Anyway, the person below was not far behind in this time and a half.
When Neo received the news, he seemed to be leisurely sitting on a thick wooden stool under a horizontal umbrella tree in front of the earthen kiln, roasting snake meat. The power of dark rot seeped into the ground. Crops and other crops were not growing well, but this
Poisonous insects such as scorpions, centipedes, and long snakes multiplied extremely vigorously. At first, the soldiers of Star 745 were still afraid to eat them because they looked very perverted. However, Neo said that "the more poisonous the poison, the more replenishing it is."
The heresy succeeded in bewitching everyone. From then on, various poisonous insects were often seen on the dining table of Xing 745. Not to mention, they were really delicious, and the soldiers said that after eating, their lower backs felt warm. What is this concept? Men all
Understand
Due to the proliferation of flesh and blood armor, Neo has a huge appetite and often needs extra meals. Everyone in the team is no longer surprised.
Throwing a roasted golden and oily snake segment directly into his mouth, chewing and chewing the bones and meat, Neo quickly thought about what was going on.
"Townshippers? Impossible! Even if you have that cleverness, I'm afraid you won't have the time."
"People from dark forces? It's not very likely. They want to torture people, but there are ways to do it. It doesn't have to be so complicated. Moreover, the monsters came to Essoke for a 'dinner', so there shouldn't be anything complicated."
"In the end, only the regular army was left. They passed through this place after the dark forces..."
Neo probably had some idea in his mind, so he took a few people to see it in person, but did not notify Green.
When the coffin was carried out by the soldiers, they unscrewed the coffin lid and took a look. One of the soldiers immediately recognized his identity through his clothes and badges.
"Captain, he's a general!" the soldier turned and said loudly to Neo
Neo, who was standing relatively far back, said "hmm" and walked closer to take a look.
The person in the coffin was very weak and had not seen light for a long time. When the coffin was suddenly opened, even if his eyes were closed, he could not help but shed tears. However, he was so excited because of being rescued that he looked excited and embarrassed.
"General, please calm down. You are very weak now. If you are too excited, your body may not be able to bear it. We are the joint force of the Sky Temple of Refuge Valley Town and the Tower of Elements. You are safe now. You need to nurse yourself back to health..."
These words were indeed modest and appropriate to the situation, but in this case, Neo would not take the ordinary route, deal with the problem according to common sense, and obediently cure such a superior officer, and then what? Offer him up?
In this short period of time, Neo had made a decisive decision. Taking advantage of the other party's instability and excitement, he directly asked Nancy to peek into his memory in a semi-hypnotic way. Then, in an extremely covert way,
The method made him faint.
Neo ordered people to carry the general into the earthen kiln, and then asked Green to come and treat him as usual.
Green, who had just woken up from his lunch break, was surprised when he saw the general, "It turned out to be General Shegliden! Now the rebellion of the army in Adala can be completely confirmed."
Neo had already begun to receive relevant information from Nancy at this time, but he still did a good job on the surface and expressed his surprise appropriately. In Sylphanis, let alone people who eat swords, they are civilians, citizens, no matter what.
There are very few people who know Shegliden. After all, there are only 5 generals in the whole army, and 3 of them are in charge of the local regular army. Shegliden is one of them. Even in normal times, there are more than 3,000 officers and soldiers listening to this.
people give orders
"The briefing stated that General Shegliden was the second-in-command of Operation Aidala, and he ended up here. It really makes people feel that it is incredible that the erosion of local military and political affairs by dark forces has reached such an exaggerated level!" Greene
After casting a healing spell on Shegliden, he chatted with Neo in the outer room.
Green's healing spells can repair damaged tissue cells and restore a person's physical energy, but they have no effect on consciousness. Whether Shegliden can wake up this time depends almost entirely on Neo's wishes. Green doesn't know this.
Thinking that Shegliden had suffered a serious crime while being held in the coffin, it was normal for his recovery of consciousness to be slow, so he insisted on accompanying Neo to wait for Shegliden to wake up. "It's unbelievable, huh..." Neo was disdainful of Shegliden's behavior in his heart.
Just like many seemingly accidental events, there are certain inevitable factors behind their occurrence. This is also a typical case of Shegliden sleeping with his twin brother's wife alive. The brother came to argue, and in anger, he bought the murder and silenced her.
, and soon afterwards, he blatantly occupied the widowed sister-in-law... Although the dark forces played a great role in the whole process, in terms of the root cause, Shegliden was mainly responsible for the corruption of his private life, and actually implicated him in it.
In official affairs, the so-called confidants who were vigorously supported were actually pawns of the dark forces. At the critical moment, they betrayed the enemy and replaced his younger brother who was still alive and hated his investment, and then quickly completed control of an army of more than 4,000 people.
"Someone is coming!"
The soldiers on duty at the door entered the room, held their heads high, and stood at attention with their heels to salute Neo. Star 745 was gradually on the track, and the soldiers worshiped Neo as a master. Therefore, the small team gave people the impression that they had entered.
As in the old military, solemn and strict
"A temporary military meeting, all officers must attend, please notify immediately"
Meetings like this where everyone is present usually have very important things to announce. Zanjin, Canito and others all know the rules. After receiving the notice, no matter what they are busy with, they immediately put down and rush to the meeting.
, Hess and other mages, as well as representatives of the magic circle mages attended the meeting.
"Settling in Essoke, now it seems, is like touching a shit stick." Neo's words are very consistent with Simon. Windrunner has not been to formal schooling for a few years, and his rude language is characteristic, but Canito and the others are used to it.
This style, and think this expression method is easier to understand
As for the Greens, they felt that the language was vulgar, but the content involved was not, and had never been. This time, too, as soon as Neo started talking, the Greens were vaguely aware of some of the problems.
Just listen to Neo continue: "It has been planned for a long time, and it is linked to each other. You can apply such adjectives to this incident yourself. Let go of your imagination and think. Even General Shegliden can be taken down.
What about the other links?”
"..." Everyone did think about it, but no one expressed their opinion because they knew it was not necessary. Generally, when Neo said this, he had already reached a conclusion.
"There is such a saying" Neo gave a formula: "The blacksmith is dead, the shoe is broken, the horse is broken, the knight is killed, the battle is lost, and the country is destroyed."
After Neo finished speaking, he waited for a short while and then said: "What I want to say is that we generally hope that bad things will be single, but in fact they are always nightmares with dark forces corroding the army. Eighty-eight times out of ten, this
Nine is not a simple incident. The raid on Adala attracted the army, causing civil strife and trapping it in this remote place." Neo said, pointing to Adala on the magic three-dimensional map. "Then what? What if this army becomes
What will happen to the bait that has to be rescued?"
Neo pointed at the three towns of Asia, Refuge Valley, and Prawang, and then roughly pointed out the road leading to Aidara, "Surround the site to provide reinforcements. At the same time, what can be done after the three towns are empty of military strength?"
"..." Everyone looked at each other in confusion
Neo shouted stop at this time, "Okay, that's it. My purpose is not to scare you. Moreover, this is just my personal bold prediction. What I want to say is that this may be a big event, and this event has already begun to happen.
, but it hasn’t completely erupted yet. Even if the enemy doesn’t know that we have rescued General Shegliden, they will still be alerted by our small team, which is not a big deal at first, because Essoke is their sensitive at this time.
Nervous, at least to the man who buried Shegliden alive here."
After everyone digested the information, Neo continued: "You may ask, how could our enemies receive the information so quickly?"
Neo then answered to himself: "I sent out a request for help the night before last night, and the content was almost intact the next night and passed it to those guys fighting us. This is what I usually ask everyone and hope to achieve the efficiency the enemy currently has.
Better than what we did”
"Being involved in such a big incident, I can no longer place all my hope on the confidentiality of the information. After all, even if the thieves in the temple are aware of it, sending reinforcements still involves negotiating with the Archon and the military of the Refuge Valley. Then what? Thank you
I think what happened to General Glidden is a good example.”
"So..." Neo glanced at several people one by one, "Although all of this is a combination of assumptions, speculations and conspiracy theories, I still ask everyone to, as the saying goes, be prepared for danger! Uh-huh,
That's the word. We don't know whether what we are waiting for will be reinforcements or enemies. We are not even sure whether everything is normal in the Refuge Valley and whether reinforcements can still be sent. I request that everyone be prepared for battle. We must press
Considering the worst-case scenario, Essoke may become a cemetery again. I think burying some traitors and traitors this time can be worth the interest of Essoke's suffering, what do you think?"
It's a guess, and it's not bad at all. Although I got more information from Shegliden to make a judgment, I'm still far from being 100% sure about anything. Neo just pushed himself and others, bringing himself into the other party.
Angle
He was thinking, are the local troops of Sylfanis a piece of fat to the dark forces? No, they can only be regarded as muscle. Based on the dark forces' own situation, they are playing routine and attrition with the three major camps. That's a little bit.
There is no chance of winning. They must make dangerous moves and chain attacks, just like how they took down Adala. Kill any one of the three major towns by surprise. The entire situation in Sylphanis will be profoundly changed. By then,
So what if Fury's Wings of Freedom arrive? Huge damage has been done
If this assumption is basically true, then our side undoubtedly entered the eye of the storm in ignorance, or became the thorn stuck in the throat of the monster before it devoured a large amount of flesh and blood. This is definitely not a good thing, especially for Adala.
The message was sent out before complete control of the army was completed, and a large amount of supplies were brought to squat on the edge of the enemy's line. This means that the troops and horses have not moved, the food and grass are already in place, and now it is possible to grasp the variable of Shegliden...
"If you don't accomplish extraordinary feats, how can you get honor? If you don't have honor, how can you rise to power quickly?" Neo's eyes flashed with sharp light, "It's just the right thing, just the right time. If you were the mouth of a giant python, I would be willing to be the one.
That red scorpion needle, don't give me time to take a breath, otherwise..." After the meeting, Neo looked at Shegliden who seemed to be in a vegetative state, and a bold plan had been hatched.
"Nancy, from the information obtained from Shegliden, help me check the situation of the mid-level and senior officers in the army he controls. I don't need his personal evaluation, just his impression of the daily performances of these people." Ni
Auxin is not as capable as Shegliden in recognizing people, but he believes that Shegliden's army is not completely 'dead' yet. After all, this army is not his personal property.
