Chapter 228 Report to the commander, the situation of the battle is not good for us
Ethan walked through the darkness, with Winter and Kane following closely behind. This was a novel experience, with the surroundings being lonely and silent, stepping on the void under his feet, as if walking outside this world.
I don't know how long it took, but the end of the darkness gradually came.
Easen moved closer in the direction of the sound of lightning and thunder, mixed with the sound of objects breaking, and Ethan approached in the direction of the sound. Soon, he could still vaguely hear the conversation, his tone was very fast.
The blue-haired girl beside him raised her hand, and another "scar" formed in front of the three people at a speed visible to the naked eye. The cracked part spread into a door. When the light shone in from the other end, they finally saw the source of the commotion clearly, accompanied by strong shock.
The world was shaking violently under the falling fireball, and a deep pit was smashed out of the ground. The terrifying wave of fire swallowed the troops moving forward in an instant, leaving a huge pit of ten meters deep on the ground. Dark clouds enveloped the sky, and lightning landed on the barren land from time to time.
This is not a natural phenomenon, but an elemental magic.
The one who can trigger such a strange phenomenon in the world must be an extremely powerful elemental shaping master.
Ethan is on the second floor of the building and witnesses the changes in the battlefield due to the arrival of elemental magic through the glass.
"What are you still standing there? The War Lord asked everyone to go to the command room for a meeting!"
The passing officer interrupted Ethan's thoughts.
This officer resembles a human, but he can see the difference between him and humans at a glance. For example, he is nearly four meters tall, and the muscle lines on his body silently show his strength. There is only one eye on his face, which runs across his forehead. The whites of his eyes are red, and the round pupils resemble snake pupils.
The space inside the building was so crowded that the officer could only walk with his body bowed.
He was not wearing a top, and his bronze skin was covered with hideous scars, which seemed to be a symbol of his honor, and his chest was a red rune that Ethan had seen in the dungeon.
He is a believer of Caesaros.
The officer spoke accent very strange, and the way he made a sentence can only be said... he had his own understanding of language, but fortunately this sentence is not difficult to understand. "Okay, we'll be here soon." Ethan responded. "Quick, speed up!"
The resolute officer urged before leaving.
Ethan soon understood their current situation, a war in progress, and Flor mentioned to him the content of the trial of courage. After crossing the plane, they would appear in a war that had happened, but it would be difficult for them to find any hint in history, because these wars all took place before the First Age.
Mankind is accustomed to referring to the long years before that as the Dark Age, and almost all the history of the Dark Age has been lost.
Although they won the victory of the war under the leadership of the God of the Ordinary and the God of the Ordinary, the price they paid was undoubtedly tragic. The surface of the whole world was almost destroyed, the population decreased sharply, and most of the people participating in the war died on the battlefield. Only a very small number of survivors gathered together and established a college in an isolated place.
Immediately afterwards, Ethan discovered a problem.
He looked around.
The second floor looked very busy, and all the officers rushed to the command center in a hurry. The war lords were waiting for them there. Most of the officers passing by were mainly submen. Although they had a human outline, they looked strange. Some were a mixture of humans and some animals, while others were races in magic novels, such as ogres with two heads, and stone people covered with black oil.
The only thing in common is that they all have the same red mark on them, which illustrates their identity.
They are all believers of Caesaros.
The Ethan and the other two who were standing here were obviously regarded as their own people by them. Even if they were not covered with Caesaros' runes, it did not prevent these officers from recognizing them.
In other words, they joined the camp of the father of war, Caesaros, with the position of helping these submen to deal with the human forces led by the Orthodox and the Middle God. For humans in this era, they are engaged in a battle of freedom from the slavery of the Old Gods.
Thinking of this, Ethan had a great enlightenment.
Graduated with history and considering the final result of this war...
Aren't the three of them definitely war criminals?
In addition, the three of them all look pure-blooded humans on the outside, and they are incompatible with the strange sub-persons around them. If they really leave their names in history, they may have to be charged with "human traitor".
With her previous experience at Wolf Tooth Castle, Ethan became particularly cautious when dealing with the "illusions of the past". He once changed Mary's fate in the city where the scarlet plague spread, turning her from a painful and depraved sacrifice to a saint of the Divine Life who had fought against Lao Ba for the rest of his life.
This is the result they can see in history books, but Mary is not the only one who has been changed.
The healing methods she developed must have changed the outcome of many people. Those who were originally suffering from the scarlet plague and were destined to become flesh and blood might have lived a relatively stable life with the help of the Divine Life Church, but their names were not written into history books like Mary.
But Flor also made it clear that if you want to pass the trial of courage, you must win a certain war.
He followed the pace of an officer and walked towards the command room. The space inside the command room was not wide. In addition, many sub-human bodies were different from ordinary people. He only saw a dark area, and the position in front was blocked by those huge backs. What was even more unbearable was the body odor and sweat all over the room.
Uncaught by surprise, Lin Dong covered her mouth and nose as soon as she stepped into half her foot, and rolled her eyes when she was so smoky that she rolled her eyes.
She decisively retreated from the combat command room and blinked at Ethan for help, like a student who entrusted her deskmate to help take notes before skipping class.
After a staggering sight, she folded her hands together, her eyes sincere.
This place is really unavailable.
She is not good at wind element magic and cannot filter the air automatically like Ethan.
She is also different from Kane. Obviously, Kane has a problem with her sense of smell. It is recommended to go to the hospital in the Imperial Capital to check her body after a while.
But in fact, Ethan stood at the end of the crowd and could only see the back of the giant race. An excited voice was coming from the cracks in the human wall. This narrow command room, coupled with the intermittent reporting, awakened a strong sense of familiarity in Ethan's heart.
Yes, at this moment, the astronaut officer is reporting the situation of the war to the war lord. "The joining of the Elemental Plastic Division is very unfavorable to us. More than ten troops under my command have been wiped out." Ethan guessed that maybe there was a strategic map flat on the desk, and the officer talking was bent over and pointed at the strategic map. "It's okay, just find a way to cut off their relationship with the elements of nature and everything will be fine."
"Chief."
"Elemental shaping masters and the others..."
"They built a magic network, and the methods God taught us were invalid. Have we been abandoned?"
These passages were spoken from the three officers, and the command room was silent, and the negative emotions of about to be defeated spread throughout the room.
In fact, before Ethan and the other two entered the house, they had already seen clues from the reaction of the garrison.
Their eyes were filled with fear as the huge fireball landed from the clouds.
This is an existence that they cannot understand.
Elemental shaping masters are not uncommon in this world. Although they are well-versed in spells that manipulate natural elements, they are weak in nature. They fight against elemental shaping masters. As long as they can withstand the first round of casualties and disrupt their formation, they will become lambs to be slaughtered.
The Asians have won many battles in this way, but this time, they face the unknown.
The shadow of the elemental shaping master was not seen on the battlefield, only a gap appeared in the sky, and then a fireball like a meteorite hit them.
The power of the spell is much more powerful than any elemental magic they know, and even the warriors who received special training specifically to fight elemental magic were instantly burned to ashes.
They also encountered large-scale lightning strikes.
This is fighting against the unknown, and their troops are losing rapidly. It can be foreseeable that if such a battle continues, failure will be a foregone conclusion.
Does the invincible believers of Caesaros really lose the war they are best at?
Ethan was at the end of the crowd, listening to the Asians' whispers.
What happened next conflicted with the scene he was familiar with. He heard the muffled sound of his bones twisting, and the discussions of the people stopped, and the command room was silent.
And the unlucky guy who questioned whether God had abandoned them had fallen into a pool of blood. "Incompetent, stupid, and dare to question God's authority."
The war lord counted the accusations of the submen, and his majestic gaze swept across every officer with a gloomy face. "If someone else says such disrespectful words, this is your end. Now, who else can give advice for this war?"
The response to him was a long silence.
"If not, go back to your troops, which will become the final battle. As long as you win this war, you will be famous in history."
It is obvious that the war lord's chicken soup therapy did not have much effect, and the command room was depressed. Judging from the expressions of the Asians, they were brave enough to be angry but not speak out about the decision of the war lord. His cruel behavior just now made morale even more depressed.
Ethan couldn't help but sigh that this was a typical example of errors during the war.
Although these Asians are not smart enough, they are the most important frontal forces of the Kaiseros army. Those who can stand at the forefront and report the situation directly to the war lords undoubtedly have a very high position among the Asians.
Execution of an officer in front of so many people will undoubtedly put the rest in a state of self-inflictment.
What's worse is that apart from giving everyone a mouthful of warm-hearted chicken soup, the War Lord did not put forward any constructive opinions that could change the situation.
The officers scattered birds and beasts, except for the unlucky guys who had their necks twisted.
His body, which was nearly four meters long, fell to the ground like a rotten rag. The Asians who were familiar with him hesitated for a while, but in the end he could not muster up the courage to carry the unlucky guy out of the command center for burial.
This familiar face.
The officers who had just rushed to the meeting left them forever.
Ethan felt that this scene was full of black humor.
Seeing the smelly crowd, they all emerged outside the door. Lin Dong, who was originally lazy at the door, ran into the room again. She almost always stuck to Ethan. However, this time, what she was greedy for was no longer Ethan's body, but also his fully automatic wind element air filter.
Ethan soon saw the true appearance of the War Lord.
He quickly doubted whether the thing sitting at the command table could be called a human. Although the subman looked strange, he could at least see the outline of the human. However, the War Lord was just an armor stand. He was wearing a helmet, but there was no skin or bones under the helmet, only a piece of darkness.
After all the officers left, the helmet moved towards them.
"What do you want to say?"
There is still a thick, yet low voice. "I have an idea."
At this moment, Kane had been waiting for a long time. He ignored the lying on the ground and walked to the table. "In order to win this war, we need more powerful weapons, some weapons that were cast by the gods themselves to turn the situation around!"
His eyes shining, without hiding his intentions.
The War Lord did not respond immediately, but looked up at him, "If you get this weapon, what do you plan to do with it?"
"Destroy the Magic Network."
Kane said, "As long as we can destroy the Magic Network, we can win the victory of this war. I have different views from them. The situation of being suppressed is only temporary, which is good news for us."
"Good news?"
Kane's words successfully aroused the War Lord's interest.
He was glad to hear some different voices in a sluggish morale, and whether Kane could fulfill his promises would bring some vitality to this stagnant war.
"The fans of the betrayer have already taken out their last trump card. As long as they can crack this trump card, they will have no chance to sing."
It seems that even the War Lord himself did not realize it. When Kane said this, he nodded with satisfaction. This was a subconscious action.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
However, he still has one more problem.
"How do you know those weapons?"
Seeing that the atmosphere in the command room became a little nervous, Ethan quietly retreated to the door and closed the door.
This armor stand looks very bad-tempered. If you don't say a word, it may bring death - this is the "last lesson" taught by the unknown Asian man with his life.
If this is a trial...
Then the war lord is equivalent to an important NPC who issues missions to them. The key to winning this war game is to crack the magic network.
Kane said everything he said was right.
However, from a historical perspective, Caesaros's family could not find a way to crack the magic network until they were defeated.
Perhaps it was because Caesaros had been resentful of this defeat that he set up such a trial, allowing latecomers to continue to review, brainstorm and find ways to break the deadlock.
So far, many humans have given answers that satisfies Caesaros.
So when dealing with humans, it depends on humans themselves.
In terms of his ability to fight in the nest, Ethan always gives high praise to mankind.
However, this trial seemed to be unable to change history after all. Ethan only saw a defeated elderly man sealed in a place where no one knew it, fantasizing about other possibilities again and again, chatting about masturbating.
"Because of the existence of the seal, their power can no longer be directly descended to this world, otherwise it would be no difficult to destroy the demonic network with their power."
Kane continued, "But God will never abandon their people."
Ethan listened silently, and suddenly he found that Kane was also a good player who talked to people and ghosts. His generous speech made the war lords very useful. For such an absolutely loyal old god creature, it would be better to flatter them directly to praise the old god.
The War Lord nodded more and more frequently, and Ethan seemed to see a ray of light from the shadow under his helmet.
Oh my God, this is me!
He seemed to see such emotions from the war lord.
Everything Kane said coincided with the idea of the War Lord and expressed his thoughts.
Even though there is a seal and even if it is betrayed, the Creator is still working hard for this world where they cannot see it.
It is precisely because of this that those disloyal remarks seem particularly harsh and make him unable to forgive.
"Weapons are the best medium to cross seals and planes."
Kane proposed his idea, "As long as His power can be injected into the weapon and delivered to the right candidates, it is only a matter of time before we win this war. As long as the elemental shaping masters are defeated, we can launch a general attack on those betrayers, and then they will no longer be able to concentrate on maintaining the stability of the seal. At that time..."
Kane suddenly came to an abrupt end.
He had successfully mobilized the interest of the war lord, making the armored man eager to continue to understand the full picture of the plan.
The War Lord couldn't wait to ask, "What will happen then?"
"We also need an elite squad that understands the essence of this world. They need to be better able to disguise themselves as a member of humanity, go deep behind enemy lines, and give the betrayers a final blow at the necessary moment to ensure that the seal can be completely broken."
As he spoke, the War Lord and Kane's eyes fell on Ethan and Winter. "This is a glorious mission." The War Lord said after a long time.
Familiar chicken soup therapy, plus unquestionable commanding tone.
This is the war lord's one-man show. He had no intention of giving Ethan and Lin Dong the power to refuse from the beginning. "We will cooperate with your actions."
There is no doubt that these three are the most human-like among them.
Although the Asians can also infiltrate into the human camp by surrendering, as far as he knows, many Asians on the front line have already surrendered to humans when the war situation is unfavorable, and humans are open to their participation.
However, the surrendered Asians are destined to be unable to get into the true core of the human camp, and they will only trust their true kind.
At present, only these two people can complete this difficult mission.
The War Lord feels that his management philosophy is more advanced than humans - here, as long as you show enough value, no matter what ethnic group you come from, you will be respected by others.
The only thing that made the war lord a little confused was that he didn't know why he trusted these three humans so much and was willing to hand over such an important mission to them, but these minor issues were not important.
The moment they saw these three people appear in the command room, they knew that they were the most trusted subordinates in the war, and might even influence the development of the war.
"I will definitely not be humiliated!"
Ethan said.
This order is exactly what he wants.
Although he has always advocated the harmonious development of racial affairs, there are still places that attract him more.
The elemental energy shaping masters of this era created the magic network, and after his previous trip to the Mage Tower, he also had the idea of rebuilding the magic network.
This is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.
Before leaving, Ethan must emphasize that he has no objection to his Asian friends and absolutely does not discriminate against their peculiar appearance and excessive body odor.
Under Kane's leadership, the combat conference progressed very smoothly, and the subsequent part was more about discussions on "weapons".
Kane proposed a plan and became the executor of the plan.
It was an hour later to leave the combat command room.
The moment he stepped out of the room, Kane seemed to relax and he looked out the window.
There was still lightning and thunder there, and the garrison fled back to the facilities. Only one deep pit after another remained in the huge wilderness, as well as the remains of the large war beasts.
After a while, he spoke, "I know you must have a lot of problems now."
If it were someone else, he would probably use riddleman methods such as "Do you trust me? If I believe me, don't ask more questions", but in front of Ethan, he planned to stop hiding it. "I didn't expect that this boring war game will continue." Kane sighed.
While it was funny, it made him feel a little sad, "You should have heard of the method of passing this trial. The magic network is the key to everything. As long as it can destroy the magic network, the war will be victorious - at least that's what He thinks."
So far, many candidates have done this.
Looking at the defeated and perished human coalition again and again, Kesaros seemed to feel some comfort from it. "But this is all His self-satisfaction. The failure of the war cannot be rewritten, and even He doesn't know whether these plans can be really successful." Kane's eyes flashed with a glimmer.
He believed that with Ethan's wisdom, he should have seen the essence of this trial clearly.
It has nothing to do with war, victory, and even the magic network.
The purpose of this trial has never been one. "He hopes to hear a good story, logical and reasonable, to convince Him that He can believe that He can win the victory of this war."
Even if the story and victory are false.
Just like this world itself, it is a dream that is about to be broken.
No one knows this feeling better than Kane, nor is he more qualified to make a judgment.
"This is the truth I understand from 'you'."
Kane turned around and looked at Ethan, his eyes were hot, "Human growth is to overcome the immature past."
This is a trial.
The last sight had a profound meaning to pass through the cold winter that had been silent.
"Is that the same for you?"
