The distance from the place where Count Hall was ambushed to the King's Army's camp is not very far, and it takes at most half an hour to ride a horse. However, Fitch needs to lead a part of the team to ensure that the necessary supplies can be brought back when the camp is disbanded, and it takes a long time from organizing to walking. During this period, he can think carefully about what to do in the future in a calm state.
The Kings Army's operation failed this time, which means that the worst situation originally envisioned has already occurred. For King Andrew and the Hall family, this will definitely turn into a severe test. If the elves are taken into account, if this time the elves are really misunderstood, then...
No, you don’t need to think about what to do, just destroy all enemies. This voice appeared in Feiqi’s heart and became more and more determined. People in this world have never seen the Kingdom of God or hell, and they don’t know how to gain prosperity, prosperity and security, and they don’t know that they are facing a catastrophe. The second world is approaching and one day it will hit Yongli Continent. By that time, except for the several subordinates of the Creator, everyone else will die and everything will be destroyed-and they don’t know all of this.
So what if they know? Do they have the ability to face it correctly? Panic will first happen, followed by chaos. People here will only fall into blind complaints and self-giving, and then there will be the madness and struggle before the end of the world. At that time, there was no question of self-rescue. A society that places hopes on gods will only wait for redemption and has always lacked the ability to save itself.
The real power comes from everyone's soul, and even the power of the gods comes from here, but who will understand? Everyone is drunk and I am awake alone. This is a sad feeling, and there is nothing to be proud of. Feiqi found that he could not promote his ideas by persuading everyone. No matter how good the plan is, there will always be such and such trouble.
"Since you can't explain it clearly, then say it first and then force it to do it." Feiqi thought of the situation in front of him and found that it seemed to be the only way - the other way is to give up. He said to himself: "Feich, Feiqi, if you are still restricted, then no one can let go of your hands and feet to do the right thing. Just like elves, they have been making wrong choices, and it is not surprising that they are hostile to all human beings. Kill them and kill them. Do you still expect the elves to make any contribution? In the prophecy, they should have followed the sinking of the island... wait, the prophecy of the elves..."
Feiqi suddenly stopped. The soldiers beside him were startled and hurried over to ask if they had discovered the enemy. Feiqi shook his head, rubbed his calves, and then held the cat-knitting stick to continue walking forward. Just now, he thought of a question that has been ignored: how the elves’ prophecy of destruction was made.
The power needed to peek into the future is very powerful, and only gods can do it at present. Analogizing the destruction prophecy of the elves and the Eight-Earth Clan, you will find that the gods believed in by the Eight-Earth Clan are the Creator's master, and the one who beats the Second World from a ball to an apple core is also the Creator's master. Therefore, the prophecy of the world is actually the action plan of the Creator's master. It reveals a little, so that the Eight-Earth Clan is willing to hide in a closed space and smuggle to the Yongli Continent to hide and cultivate crystal clusters for it. The Goddess of Truth Thunder is kind, and she will not threaten with destruction, thereby manipulating her believers to do things.
Another prophecy that Feiqi had seen came from the Goddess of Truth. She absorbed the crystal clusters and her ability was greatly improved, so she knew the plan of the Creator's old master. This directly led to her death with the Lord of Creation, and both became fragments. However, this "foresight" at least allowed her to avoid unilateral failure, which was also considered to be seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence. In other words, the Goddess of Truth did not have much prophecy before this, and she could not see much farther to the future. The elves had the prophecy that "leave the island, otherwise the whole clan would be destroyed" for a long time, but most of the time was secretly revealed, and no one knew it except the elves. Since the goddess could not see that far, and based on her "truth", if she didn't know and was uncertain, she would not tell others and would not be able to make a prophecy.
In other words, the elves should not be able to obtain prophecy from the Goddess of the Truth, so how did this prophecy come about? If the elf's senior management left the island, returned to the mainland to find excuses, and used human sympathy and kindness to achieve their goals, then Feiqi could understand it. But he was afraid that this prophecy was true, and it was obtained from the habitual criminal called the Creator.
"There is no evidence to prove that the elves have a connection with the Creator, but if they really have a connection, then the elves always make mistakes will be explained: The Goddess of Truth is the administrator of this world. Can you not touch any stumbling upon the instructions of the Creator?"
The more Fitch thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, until he felt that he had to stop thinking and turn back and re-solutely. "Is this a little guilty after killing the elf, and then open my brains to find excuses for his behavior? Or is it really possible?" He knew very well that this matter was difficult to prove. The Goddess of Thunder is dead and there is no evidence. The Creator's Old Lord will only cut him down, and even if the Creator's Old Lord admits it, Feiqi couldn't believe it. Why should I tell Feiqi such a secret thing? Besides, even if I say it, isn't it as untrustable as the Creator's Old Lord? Feiqi found that once doubt arises, doubt will breed and grow, just like parasitic vines drilling from the inside out, and eventually kill the tree of trust that has finally grown.
Back to this matter, the elves' island is about to be destroyed. So why don't the elves pray to the goddess, and then seek the help of the church through the truth, Thunder Goddess, and thus leave the island safely? This should be the most direct and convenient way, but what did the elves do? First, they cooperated with the Grand Duke of Aria, and at the same time they also promoted the elves' territory under the model. Archbishop McIntosh also drove Bishop Nathaniel crazy to death. Later, Nathaniel's only student Diderit was overturned, and the elves turned to show kindness to Andrew, and then chose the former between the King's Army and the Thunder Army.
The elves may have ghosts, or their intelligence problems - Feiqi came to this conclusion. The three words "very likely" and "intellectual problems" were actually because there was no definite evidence. Feiqi added them to it in order to be safe. Recently, there have been too many things related to the elves, such as the elves' arrows and the elves' scouts, which happened when Feiqi was not in the camp. Especially the elves' scouts, if it weren't for their intelligence, the Count would not have decided to send troops and fall into the trap.
"Which elves' scout?" Feiqi was a little upset when he thought about it. "It was too fast to leave a living person for interrogation. However, under the circumstances at that time, if he had to hesitate and not kill him, he might be killed. Now it's better, and it will save some potential trouble. The elves were besieged in the bombing camp and died. It is actually the best choice to insist on explaining this way."
Although Earl Hall pointed out that the elves were also framed and the ambush had nothing to do with them, Feiqi did not fully agree with it. At least the elves did not completely clear the suspicion. After all, there is no reasonable explanation for the elves scouts. When the Paladin of the Thunder Army overwhelmed the King's Scouts, it was reasonable for Earl Hall to ask the elves to help investigate. If the elves brought back fake information, it would be guilty! But...
"What if that elf scout is not an elf?" Feiqi likes to analyze based on facts and does not like conspiracy theory-like deductions, but if the whole thing is regarded as a complete system and re-analyzing it in a cracking system, then this possibility cannot be ignored. By learning the basic work in the military camp, Feiqi knows that military orders have a top-down method. A general can only have limited personnel to directly master, and the orders issued must be conveyed one after another along the chain of command. Earl Hall cannot recognize and remember the situation of each scout. What he wants to receive is intelligence. Feiqi began to think: If I make trouble and want to use fake intelligence to lure the Count, then what should I do?
First of all, we must build trust, that is, provide true intelligence. In other words, as a scout, we must really have the ability to suppress the Thunder Army Paladins and transmit the information from the battlefield back. This time, most soldiers and lord commands in the camp were eliminated, and the remaining people would not exceed three hundred (plus elves). Secondly, this person is either the elves themselves, and if not, he must have the ability to insert between the elves and humans. While keeping the true elves in the dark, we must also make Earl Hall think that "it" is an elves. If "it" is not an elves, he must also have the ability to insert into the command chain.
In terms of familiar terms, this is a "session hijacking" of information transmission, just like his technique of using the method of inserting runes to influence other people's spells. The person who is most capable of doing this in the camp, Fitch first thought of himself, and then the benevolent group who can disguise.
"I'm such a stupid guy!" Feiqi pulled his hair hard. Benny had a friendship with him, and was Shani's good sister, just like half of his family. Therefore, Feiqi has always ignored this. What kind of mercenaries brought by Benny rely on to make money in the camp? Isn't it just to complete some tedious and boring tasks for other lords to earn some bounty? If they opened up channels and took over the scout mission, and combined with their ability to disguise and make-up, wouldn't it just meet the conditions?
Especially for most people, this damn scout mission is a errand of "fear of being humiliated but being humiliated" and I wish someone could do it for me. This is the loophole that can be exploited in the entire command chain! Feich's heart was pounding, even more nervous than when fighting. When he discovered his blind spots and loopholes in his thinking, he naturally felt a sense of fear. However, the first thing to do is to calm down and think about who else can do this besides himself and Benny.
"The only people around the Earl have such opportunities, but he does not have such ability, and he does not have such motivation. No, why did I start to doubt it randomly? It seems that this matter has begun to affect me." Feiqi patted his head and pulled back his sudden thoughts. He found that he could not find more suspects for the time being, and the current suspicion of Benny and his group was the greatest.
"Why did Benny do such a thing?" Feiqi sighed: "It's not Benny, she's so silly all day long and can't make such a plan. Marelis, if it's them, then it's him. This guy..."
Fitch suddenly thought of the gift from Marelis, and finally handed it to him through Benny and Shani. It was a box of cigars, well-made, equipped with a full set of ignition and suction tools, and even an instruction manual. But he didn't like to suck the clouds and spit out - except for the pure essence - so he never opened it after accepting it.
Cigars are rolled with several layers of whole tobacco leaves in different positions and treatment methods, and spices are added during the production process. Feiqi opened the cigarette box, took out the cigars, and placed them under his nose to smell them. He smelled the restrained fragrance, which was not attractive to him. However, these cigars did give him an inexplicable sense of disgust.
This feeling of disgust was exactly the same as when he first saw Marelis.
So Feiqi opened the cigar and checked it carefully. He had no prejudice against people, except that he believed that everyone in this world was not as good as him because of the limitations of history and productivity. However, this feeling was aimed at everyone and was not considered "biased". So he hated someone at first sight, which was quite strange. Fitch had explained himself before, thinking that Marelis was considered Benny and Shani's father, and he abandoned them since he was a child, so he felt disgusted. But now he thought that it might not be the case.
He thought that he was not only an individual, but also a devil. The devil had a natural disgust towards angels and demons.
Turn on the cigar and spread the dark brown tobacco leaves again. Feiqi saw several blood-red markings on the innermost tobacco leaves, which made him feel even more disgusted.
When Feiqi transformed into a devil, some instincts given to him by hell were in his bloodline. Hell never explains the origin of these instincts in detail. After all, all the devil is essentially consumables, and only the only thing that can be answered for him is alchemy. Feiqi opened two cigars and found the same thing in it. He sniffed, tasted a little, and shivered. Now, although he didn't know what this thing was, the devil's instinct let him know that it was obviously related to the demon.
For things related to the demon, Fitch can think of the six-armed snake demon, the destruction and rebirth sect, so there is a clear link. Thinking of this, Fitch has already had a premonition that something is wrong, and at this time they finally walked to the near King's Army Camp, and the situation they saw is enough to explain the problem.
The camp can be described as a person who has left the building. There were only about a thousand soldiers, but now there are only three or four hundred people left. In addition to the wounded people who were in the camp before, Feiqi asked them to stay, but most of the soldiers had already left, and Marelis and Benny were not in the camp. Feiqi only felt dizzy. He stepped on the ground with his feet, teleported himself to a high altitude, and then started Hawkeye meditation to look down at the surroundings.
He saw some soldiers leaving in groups of three or three. The people were going home, but although they disobeyed the order, Fitch had no time to upset them. He was trying to search for those who were Marelis, but they didn't look very similar in terms of numbers or backs.
"Want to run? It's not that easy!" Feiqi teleported from a high altitude, intercepting several soldiers who were closest to Marelis and others, but found nothing but scaring them half to death and handing over the property in his hands.
"I don't know who left first, but everyone soon noticed that someone left, and then left in groups of three or three." Almost all the soldiers said the same thing. This time, Feiqi was also not hesitant to use soul-searching to ensure the truth was obtained. This time, it was very similar to the previous rumor spreading of "the count is dead". The idea of ​​taking things and returning home quickly in a short time affected most people. The soldiers had a very tacit understanding and did not compete with each other. Everyone acted separately to avoid being caught by Feiqi. As a result, except for some nobles, the knights took their entourage and subordinates, and those injuries that were difficult to move, the others left completely.
The continuous use of teleportation and soul-searching made Feiqi feel exhausted. The remaining mana during the battle was basically bottomed out, but the tracking still had no results. Feiqi also figured it out. Even if he chased after him, his combat power was too poor. Without the help of magic, he could only rely on the physical fitness of the Desire Demon or the Heart-turning Demon to fight the enemy. This time, he had to admit his failure and further be vigilant against Marelis and the Destruction Rebirth Sect.
Back at the King's Army camp, the soldiers brought by Feich had entered. They were surprised at what they saw and were waiting for Feich's orders. "Concentrate all the remaining supplies here, and put them aside, count the remaining ones, and then I will distribute them." Feich turned to those who stayed: "The King's Army's operation was over, and everyone can go back. This time everyone suffered losses, and I will distribute some of them after the inventory was completed. This cannot be called compensation, nor is it sufficient, because most of the losses came from the chaos in the camp, and those who left the order not long ago took away a lot of things. At most, I can guarantee that you have enough food to support you home."
The lord was loyal to the king and participated in the battle, but the lord was responsible for himself and was also responsible for the soldiers brought out. The king had no obligation. Most of the soldiers who left each were based on this consideration, and Fitch was able to distribute some of the things to those who stayed, which seemed to them to be kind and righteous. "Master Hall," some soldiers already used this title to Fitch, "Some people who left wanted to take away the things from those elves, and we stopped them. You have made clear orders that those elves cannot move."
"Thank you very much, personally and the Hall family thank you. All those who stayed, give me some rest time, I will restore my mana, and then give each of you a spell to heal. I am not a good healing priest, but I also have the ability to heal. I haven't done this before, because I am worried that there are enemies and I must keep some physical strength."
When people heard that they could be treated, their emotions improved significantly. The cost of healing spells in the Truth Thunder Church is not low, each time it is about fifteen gold coins, and the efficacy depends on the priest's casting level. If it is a potion, it is impossible to get it without fifty gold coins. These are all immediate and rapid treatments. The church also uses drugs and medical tools to treat people. The cost per day is 1 gold coins, which is much more cost-effective than it is.
For most people, it is much better to be able to enjoy spell therapy than to give money directly. Fitch also said before that it would be necessary to divide things, that is, it would be possible to heal. The people who received the promise became motivated and began to help those who were brought by Fitch to work together and sort property. Fitch himself came to the place where the elves were piled up to inspect.
He had already expected that things might be worse. After Bloomfield was ignited, Marelis shot him to death, and then Benny and others took the lead in "executing" Feich's orders, collecting, classifying and "protecting" the elves' bodies and belongings. Although Feich found a burnt corpse among the elves, it was not Bloomfield. It was not how familiar Feich was with the elves' body, but...
"There is a difference between the flames of magic and the flames ignited with alchemy oil."
Bloomfield may still be alive, but why should he be alive and take him away? After this battle, the relationship between humans and elves was tense, but even if it really fought, what advantage could the elves take? Indeed, Fitch could not fight against the elves forming an army. Those archers alone could shoot him alive, and no matter how many lives were enough. But now that the elves had Minas Ishir, they had concerns and weaknesses. Fitch could go to the Elf Island and could hold Minas Ishir. Besides, this was just the situation of Feich facing the entire elves alone. Why should he agree to a one-on-one fight?
The elves' items were probably tampered with. Feiqi did not expect to find useful information from it, but out of curiosity and respect for the enemy, he still had to search for it. He found the King's Army's scout warrant, which was collected when the scouts accepted the mission, and had to show them before entering and leaving the camp, and handed over after completing the mission. In Feiqi's view, this thing was just a mirror metal sign and could no longer be used to prove anything.
Among the relics of the "elves", Feiqi found some things from the Thunder Church, which is probably framed. The elves came to the King's Army camp to clearly show their hostility to the Thunder Army and the church they represented, and they must be cleared of their identities. The King's Army, from Earl Hall to any human soldier, can carry the church's prayer supplies, but the elves need to avoid suspicion because they are residents of Minas Ishir, a model leader of the church.
"What is this? A piece of sealing wax?" Feiqi found something interesting from the item. It was a piece of soft wax with golden silk pattern in red. As long as it was melted in the flame of the candle, it could turn into soft oil mud. Drops on the back of the envelope can stick to it. During the continuous cooling process, when it was half soft and half hard, the pattern of the seal ring could be printed, and after it was completely cooled, it would become sealing mud.
"So sinister!" Feiqi snorted. This kind of sealing mud is mostly used to communicate with important people. It is a "person" thing. The elves themselves do not have this habit. "This thing is completely implying that the elves and the church have always maintained communication, and they are traitors of the King's Army. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, their minds are gloomy! The techniques are sinister!"
"But if they meet me again in their plan, how will they explain what they left?" Feiqi pinched his chin and smiled coldly: "I guess Marelis will take over the conversation again, just to argue that Beni's health is not good, and was scared by my spells and attitude, so he could only leave early. Alas, I have to say to Shani that Beni may be in danger, or she has become a danger herself."
From the feeling that Fitch did to the hands and feet on the cigar leaves, Marelis had nothing to do with the demon, but how deep this relationship is, at least it is necessary to figure out what is on the tobacco leaves to be initially determined. Interestingly, Beni never made Fitch feel physical (blood-related) disgust, and Marelis had, is Marelis's relationship with the demon much greater than Beni's six-armed snake demon bloodline?
"Shani said that she and Benny are half-brothers, and Medusa and the Six-Armed Snake Demon come from different mothers, and they don't know what their father's bloodline is. But they heard about this from the elves, that is, the person who sent them to the elves must be the truth?"
"It's a pity that I've gotten into evil with the elves, so it's not easy to go into this matter. But judging from the natural disgust of Shanny towards Marellis, we might be able to draw another conclusion: Marellis lied to Benny, he was not her father. If it was true that they asked the church pastor to use blood identification spells, then there was even a possibility that he was not Shanny's father, and the whole half-father story might be wrong."
"We have to consider the latter situation, whether the elves were deceived or were involved too deeply, but if they were involved too deeply, why don't the elves be used more seriously in this ambush?" Feiqi felt that the recent clues were a bit confusing, and there were too many lies, deceptions, and misleading, which were all hindering him from making a mistake. However, if Feiqi learned any lessons from this failure, it is "the worst case must be considered first."
"The enemy will not show mercy, so they will always try to do it to the extreme. The worst case is that Marelis is a demon, and he is also related to the Destruction Rebirth Sect, and he does have a father-daughter relationship with Benny. When she was still young, Marelis began to plot against the elves. It was also at that time, and even earlier, the elves were killed by the demon... No, the elves were not that stupid. They might have developed distrust of the goddess after losing the battle against mankind, and then were deceived by the Creator's former Lord. The prophecy of destruction was also obtained at that time... Well, this should be the worst case."
"The goddess's church found Shining to deal with me. The elves definitely didn't know, otherwise they would seize the opportunity to kill me first. This is definitely worth trying. In other words, the elves and the church did not have deep cooperation. Earl Hall was ambushed, and the red dragon and the flame snake lizard were the main force. From this point of view, it looked very similar to the style of the Creator and the Demonic Demon. The possibility of the elves having these helps was almost no. Then the elves and the Demonic Rebirth Sect did not cooperate in depth. When I went to kill the elves, Marelis did not help the elves. At least he did not ask Benny to persuade me, which could prove that he had a deep relationship with the elves. He just watched the elves being slaughtered by me, so he knew my strength, and then saved Bloomfield at the last moment, and found an opportunity to take him away, causing me trouble in the future. My father said it well, the elves were very sad. No one wanted him, and he still felt very pitiful. The root of the elves was the prophecy of destruction."
Feiqi pinched the ball of Feng La, and a smile appeared on his face. It is not scary to lose once. The enemy lurked in the dark and made so many arrangements, but he did not win a big victory! Now, since the Destruction Rebirth Sect has emerged and the demons have emerged, be wary of them, pay more attention to them, be more ruthless and decisive when attacking. Can't it be considered to add some fun?
Chapter completed!
