Chapter 336 Prelude to Death
Although the diplomats of the War Council were unable to find out from the diplomats of other forces why the Sinar countries believed that Eleanor could not deal with Kan Ozu, they only knew that the news came from the six major silver families.
However, after the message was uploaded to Roland, Roland, who knew many secrets, naturally knew what was going on at a glance.
The world as a whole is still making progress.
Compared to Donnar, the Silver Empire in Xinar, which is dominated by human spellcasters, attaches more importance to the preservation of knowledge.
Unlike Donnar, which has completely become a legend, a legend of the story, Sinnar's understanding of the legend is obviously more in-depth than Donnar, and the knowledge and content recorded are more.
The photo stone, a prop that can record images, is one of the creations of spellcasters.
Compared to Sinnar, where photo stones have been widely used, Donnar does not make much use of photo stones. Instead, they use more paper materials. Moreover, these paper materials generally have obvious legendary colors due to political reasons.
Although Sinar will also add legendary colors to the legend, the real content documents are generally preserved inside.
The six major silver families have been passed down since the founding of the Silver Empire to the present day, and they possess a large amount of knowledge, not to mention that there is a living legend within the six major silver families. Therefore, they have a better understanding of the true power of the legend. Unlike Donnar, due to the distortion and serious loss of information, they do not have a clear concept of the true power of the legend.
Anyone who truly understands the power of legends can easily see the problem with Eleanor's countless battles with Kan'ozu.
If it was a true legendary fight, it would definitely not be as simple as the one between Eleanor and Kan'ozu, with so little noise from fighting.
So, either Eleanor and Kan Ozu are acting to trick people, or one of them is not a true legend.
Combined with Kan'aozu's incredible record, the news that Eleanor was severely injured by Kan'aozu a few years ago, and the increasing pressure from the coalition forces, it is easy to understand that Eleanor, who was promoted through sacrifice, does not have the true fighting power of a legend.
She might be stronger than a Nine-Ring Transcendent, but not as strong as a true legend.
If the six silver families showed the scenes recorded in the photo stones to the legend of their family, that legend would probably be able to tell at a glance that Kan Ozu was acting with Eleanor.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the six silver families gave up Eleanor when they knew so many secrets and there was a legend in the family.
As for Eleanor selling sovereignty, land and so on to the Silver Empire, Roland was prepared for it.
According to memory, when Kan'ozu was strangled by several legends and the Donnar people returned to Donnar, the Xinar people, especially the nobles of the Silver Empire, also openly participated in the war against the Green Tide using the terms of Eleanor's sale of sovereignty.
So much so that during the counterattack against the Green Tide, the Donar people and the Sinar people were also plotting and attacking each other.
Therefore, after repelling the Green Tide, Donnar did not return to peace. The people of Donnar tried to rebuild the Central Kingdom, while the people of Sinor were not interested in the so-called Central Kingdom and preferred the Silver Empire.
Therefore, the Knight Kingdom of the Donnar people and the Spellcaster Kingdom of the Sinor people have been fighting from the Green Tide Era to the Strange Machine Era, fighting on and off with no intention of stopping.
However, since Roland is here, he will naturally not let this happen.
Eleanor signed the treaty on behalf of the Allied Forces. What does that have to do with our War Council? We just deny it.
If you have the guts, send troops to rob us. The War Committee’s army is not just for show.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that Roland successfully kills Kan Ozu. If Roland loses, there will be nothing to say.
Roland stayed in the magic position, collecting information on various fronts and adjusting his status.
A slight sound of footsteps was heard near the magic formation.
Roland slowly opened his eyes. The suppressed aura of death was brewing terror.
Looking up, Roland saw a completely unexpected person.
Locke.
He was wearing a set of armor that was covered with countless scars but had been cleaned neatly, and was holding an ordinary-looking spear.
This high-ranking knight, who had chosen to stay in his residence since the Black Rock coup, walked out of his residence and came here.
Roland looked at him calmly, and he also looked at Roland with complicated eyes.
After the two sides looked at each other, Roland also understood Locke's intention and spoke.
"You came."
"I am coming."
"You shouldn't have come."
"I'm already here."
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
“I am afraid, but I am more afraid of losing.”
Roland shook his head slightly and pointed to the empty space beside him.
"sit down."
Locke nodded without saying anything and sat down in an open space nearby. He put his spear aside, closed his eyes, and silently adjusted his state.
As a high-level transcendent, Locke is still qualified to interfere in Roland's next battle with Kan'ozu.
Although Locke was seriously injured and his origin was permanently damaged, his normal combat power was not as good as that of ordinary high-level transcendents. However, this time, Locke came with the determination to die and was determined to burn himself out.
Under this willpower, as Locke adjusted his state, the aura on his body slowly converged, becoming deeper and more powerful. His body lost its luster and quickly became old.
However, in contrast to his dry and old appearance, an extremely suppressed power is slowly forming in his body, waiting to finally explode.
Regardless of whether he wins or loses the next battle, as long as Locke takes action, he will be dead.
Roland sighed and closed his eyes again.
The magic formation has been fully deployed and completely integrated into the surrounding environment. Unless a legend comes in person and conducts a very detailed inspection, it would be difficult for even a legend to see through the magic formation arranged by Roland at a glance.
In addition, after the magic formation was deployed, the previous violent and dangerous murderous intent that was revealed disappeared and blended into the surrounding environment.
Therefore, Locke was able to walk in front of Roland without any trouble. If the magic formation had not been deployed before, he would have been attacked by the magic formation long ago.
While the two were silently adjusting their states, the war in Donnar continued to advance.
December 1451, 12
The War Council broke through the Northern Fort. On the same day, boxes containing the greenskins' vitality began to flow through the northern wall and began to move towards the magic position.
Metal boxes gradually appeared beside Roland and Locke.
December 12: The allied forces launched a fierce attack. Eleanor went into battle again, and Kan'aozu also went into battle.
December 12: Under Eleanor's inducement and Kan'aozu's underestimation of the enemy, Kan'aozu was lured into the trap set by Eleanor and was besieged by Eleanor and almost all the high-level extraordinary people of the coalition army. At the same time, Eleanor also deployed a large number of elemental cannons and elite soldiers around the trap.
December 12: After ten days of siege, the greenskin army on the front line took advantage of the absence of high-level extraordinary people, broke through the defense line and reached the trap and destroyed the trap. Kan'ozu successfully escaped from the trap.
January 1452, 1: After the Allied forces’ front line collapsed for hundreds of miles, they finally stabilized the front line again.
On the same day, the War Council defeated the last counterattack of the Greenskin Army. Millions of Greenskin Army fell into the encirclement of the War Council, and began to strangle the Greenskin Army in the encirclement, sealing their vitality and transferring them all to the spell positions.
January 1: Eleanor issued a "Letter to All Humankind", calling on all humans to fight to defend Donnar, the origin of humanity. However, few responded. Most of the countries in Sinnar were not interested at all and reduced their support for the coalition forces, ready to withdraw at any time.
The morale of the Allied Forces soldiers also fell into despair with no future in sight. If it were not for the support of Pu Su's determination to defend their country and the fact that the green-skinned orcs would not accept the surrender of prisoners, the Allied Forces would have collapsed long ago.
No one cared about the big promise Eleanor had made, let alone boosting the morale of the soldiers.
February 2: Eleanor and Kan'ozu fought again, and the result of the battle naturally ended in a draw again.
February 2: With the loss of the Sinar Kingdoms and the despair of the front being pushed back, the Allied front begins to break down. At the same time, the War Council completes the strangulation of all the greenskins in the encirclement.
After completing the strategic goal, the front-line troops of the War Council stopped attacking and began to retreat. At the same time, Hela led the necromancers to carry out the final work, turning the roads connecting the front line and the northern wall into a dead zone.
February 2: After realizing the situation of the United Army, Kan'ozu ordered the green-skinned orcs to switch from offense to defense, and the United Army's front line was stabilized again.
March 3: Eleanor leads the team to successfully counterattack part of the territory and restore the morale of the Allied Forces which has fallen to the bottom.
March 3th: Most of the greenskin life force controlled by the War Council is transferred to the spellfields.
Standing on the high ground where the magic formation was built, Roland raised his head calmly. The vitality plundered from the seals of countless green-skinned orcs was gathering above his head.
Over the years, Roland has been studying the greenskins' life network. He has quietly gained the authority of a greenskin warlord in the greenskins' life network, and has also learned about the greenskins' vitality.
Therefore, Roland can use magic to attract these life forces, and he also has the right to influence the life forces of these greenskins.
However, the Greenskin Life Network is still dominated by Greenskin Orcs after all. Although Roland stole some permissions, he could only use them for a short while.
As an outlier in the greenskin life network, Kan'ozu would probably find him quickly and deprive him of his authority.
Moreover, even if Kan'ozu didn't find out, Roland would be excluded from the greenskin life network in no time.
Roland took a deep breath. Now it was time for the most important step in the plan, to lure Kan Ozu to the battlefield that Roland had prepared.
According to Kan'ozu's situation, once he found that his vitality was deprived, he would definitely rush over to check the situation. As for how he would choose to rush over, Roland had a plan.
But, the best case scenario is that Kan'ozu ignores the northern wall and rushes directly to Roland's face.
Roland lowered his head and looked at the message from the northern wall on the communication device.
The northern wall has deployed a concealment and camouflage array. In addition to hiding the northern wall, it also hides the expanded dead zone as much as possible, minimizing the possibility of being discovered by Kan'ozu.
After receiving messages confirming that the concealment and camouflage array was functioning normally, Roland raised his head again.
Locke also stood up, holding a spear, and disappeared silently on the high ground, leaving Roland standing alone on the high ground.
The cold wind from the mountains blew slowly over Roland's body. Without anyone noticing, clouds had silently blocked out all the sunlight, and the bright sunny day turned into a somewhat cool cloudy day.
Standing on the high ground, Roland looked around.
The dense forest was silent at this moment. The cold wind blew past without even a rustling sound. It seemed that all the animals living in the forest had quieted down.
On the vast grassland, the weeds sway slightly, but no rabbits are seen.
The stone roads connecting the highlands and extending in all directions also appear silent.
Looking at the world that seemed to have suddenly gone quiet, Roland calmly took off the Crown of Domination from his right hand. It returned to its normal size in Roland's hand, but compared to before, it had five more gems on it.
In addition to the original black crystal, Roland also inlaid the five high-level extraordinary gems given to him by the goblin.
Looking at the Crown of Domination in front of him, Roland held it with both hands and slowly put it on his head.
After putting on the Crown of Domination, Roland's resentment and aura of death began to subside, and no longer leaked any trace of it.
At the same time, the Crown of Domination did not unleash the power of legendary equipment, but stayed quietly on Roland's head like an ordinary ornament. The six gems on it also restrained their aura and looked like ordinary decorative gems.
Then, Roland took out the three pieces of ancient rune equipment given to him by the dwarf. He wore the two ring-like ones directly on the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and hung the bracelet directly around his waist.
Finally, Roland raised his head, looked at the thick greenskin vitality above his head, and calmly stretched out his right hand.
The permissions he stole from the greenskin life network were instantly used by him, and then the thick greenskin vitality above his head forcibly cut off the connection with the greenskin life network.
Then, under Roland's control, the deployed and ready spell formation instantly devoured all of this vitality.
Under the efficient devouring of the spell formation, the vitality of these greenskins was quickly transformed and shattered into natural vitality, completely breaking away from the green tide life network.
As the vitality was devoured by the magic formation, the weeds around Roland began to grow rapidly.
After Roland took action, Kan'ozu, who was fighting with Eleanor at the distant front line of the Allied Forces and the Green Tide, immediately sensed the huge vitality that had suddenly lost contact.
The moment the connection was cut off, Kanaozu stopped acting and immediately looked towards the Green Tide's life network.
And this sight made everyone numb.
The greenskin vitality that had already penetrated deep into the War Council and then to the thousand-kilometer range in front of the northern wall, all of it disappeared completely in an instant.
The amount of the greenskin life network suddenly decreased by one twentieth!
Kanaozu's eyes turned red, and anger instantly erupted in his heart.
"Who is it! You deserve to die!!!"
He roared to the sky, and Eleanor on the side seized the opportunity and launched an attack while Kan'ozu was off guard.
"boom!"
Kan'aozu easily caught her attack. His blood-red eyes didn't even look at him, but looked towards the northwest. He said to the northwest with a ferocious look on his face.
"No matter who you are, I will kill you."
After saying that, Kan Ozu grabbed Eleanor and smashed her directly to the ground.
"Annoying fly, I don't have time to play with you now."
After saying that, Kan'aozu grabbed Eleanor's head and slammed it hard on the ground. The legendary power truly erupted, and the huge force directly injured Eleanor severely.
Afterwards, Kan'aozu threw the seriously injured Eleanor towards the direction of the Allied Forces, and then, with a long roar, he turned into a ray of light and flew towards the northwest.
After Kan'ozu let out a long roar, the green-skinned orcs on the front lines of the Allied Forces and the Green Tide also began to retreat in full.
The high-level transcendents helped Eleanor up and watched the retreat of Kan'ozu and the green-skinned orcs with some surprise.
On the long Allied front, countless Allied soldiers looked at the suddenly retreating green-skinned orcs, looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what was happening.
Because Eleanor was knocked unconscious and the coalition forces were worried that it might be a trap set by the Green Tide, they did not choose to pursue. Instead, they all breathed a sigh of relief, sent out some scouts to observe the Green Tide's movements, and then simply stationed where they were and rested.
After fighting for so long, they finally had some free time to rest.
However, the coalition forces were relieved a little, but all the pressure shifted to the War Council.
Kan'aozu crossed the mountains and directly broke through the border defenses of the War Council.
Kanaozu didn't take the small fish and shrimps on the border of the War Council seriously at all. He was too lazy to pay attention to them and flew directly to the place where the vitality disappeared.
The extraordinary people on the border were also notified in advance by the War Committee, so they retreated cautiously and allowed Kan Aozu to enter the territory without any meaningless obstruction.
As Kan'aozu entered the country, his vast legendary aura instantly covered a large area of land within the committee.
Fortunately, the War Council's eastern territory had little population, so his pressure did not cause many casualties.
The extraordinary people on the northern wall felt the extremely powerful pressure from Kan'aozu, and looked towards the direction of the magic formation with concern.
At the magic formation, Roland stood on the high ground, calmly watching Kan'ozu rushing towards him.
Even though Kan'aozu's murderous intent had filled all around him, Roland remained unmoved. He watched him calmly, waiting for him to fall into the trap.
