"The city beast is not only a mobile marching fortress used by the royal family to transport soldiers to the front line, but also a tool they use to recruit soldiers from various foreign tribes."
"Each foreign tribe arranges for people to enter the city beast, both You can get rewards from the game by going to the front line with your tribe. The royal family will also reward each tribe with war points based on its contribution to the front line. The war points can be exchanged for many rare rewards in the treasure house to improve their strength. It can also determine the proportion of winning the gambling battle and dividing the world in the future."
A solemn look appeared on Connie's face as she spoke, and her black and white hair seemed to lighten due to the excitement in her heart. Fluttering lightly.
"Except for you, I have never heard of any other creature that can come out alive from the city beast."
Hearing this, Su Mo frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "Then what is the meaning of the spell to leave the city beast? Since entering will mean death, why should we give them such hope?"
"That's because every alien tribe is not monolithic within itself."
Connie's voice was cold, with a trace of undoubted cruelty.
“If you tell these tribesmen who enter the city beast that they are destined to die from the moment they enter, I am afraid that there will not even be one-tenth of the soldiers that the royal family can recruit at the moment.”
"So, you used the spell as bait to trick them into believing that they still had the possibility of survival?"
"Not entirely." Connie was silent for a moment and answered.
"Strength, the increase in strength that can be obtained by entering the city beast, is also one of the main reasons for those alien races to enter."
"The pollution and gifts within the city beast depend on the acceptance of the alien individuals. Give the right strength The stronger the desire, the faster the speed and frequency of pollution, and relatively speaking, more energy can be absorbed within the city beast. On the contrary, if there is fear and resistance, the growth rate will not only be ridiculously slow, but also faster. "I'm about to fall into depravity."
"If it were you before, you would have gone in, right?" Sumo asked suddenly.
The alien race’s desire for strength is indeed far greater than that of humans.
Especially some alien races with obsessions are even more willing to sacrifice their lives for the pursuit of strength.
"Maybe, I don't know."
Connie took a sip of mountain spring water, her eyes flickered, but she didn't answer directly.
The two faced each other in silence for a while.
In the cabin, for a while, the only sound left was the sound of falling leaves and rain falling in the wind and rain outside.
“Would it be useful if we told the aliens among the city beasts that they will definitely die?”
Sumo thought for a while and felt that this would be a breakthrough.
Although some aliens voluntarily stepped into the city beasts out of their desire for power, it is undeniable that more aliens were deceived by lies and temptations and became pawns in the hands of the royal family.
If the anger and dissatisfaction of these alien races can be aroused, it will undoubtedly cause a heavy blow to the royal family's subsequent recruitment activities, thereby indirectly reducing the pressure on the human front line.
However, Connie slowly shook her head, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "It shouldn't be of much use. The royal family has already anticipated the possible consequences of information leakage and has made adequate preparations for this. Prepare."
"You have been inside the city beast and know the structure inside. There are many barriers for different races inside the city beast. Some places are not accessible at will. What's more, why do you let those Do the aliens who have been polluted and lost their minds believe what you say? They will not die until they leave the body of the city beast for seven days. There is no way we can buy so much time for them to verify"
"Taking a step back, even if they really believe that they will die inside the city beast, so what?"
"Aliens are different from humans. We have been burdened with a mission since we were born. As long as we fight for the gods, With the banner of fighting and dying for the gods, and promising that they will be resurrected by the gods after death, do you think they will really care about the small matter of their own death?"
Connie is concerned about the small matter of death? His voice was specially emphasized, and his sarcasm was palpable.
Will the gods resurrect a worthless scum?
What are you dreaming about during the Spring and Autumn Period?
She had previously had dreams of fighting for the gods and entering the divine realm after death, but after entering the wasteland world and meeting Soma, all these illusions were completely shattered.
The gods are ruthless and can abandon everything without hesitation.
Whether it is an ordinary tribesman, a tribe leader, or even an entire tribe, once they lose their value, they will be abandoned without mercy.
And when she later became the high priest inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and understood more clearly the difficulty of resurrection, she never had such a sweet dream again.
The cost of resurrecting a dead creature out of thin air is almost equivalent to the increase in strength given by the gods to millions of tribesmen.
However, ordinary tribesmen know nothing about this and do not want to believe it.
Because those hypocritical gods will always hold rituals regularly to resurrect some heroes who faked their death to deceive them.
"It seems that I thought things too simply." Sumo shook his head helplessly, sighing secretly in his heart.
As soon as humans hear that this life is 100% to die, the guardian will immediately explode and resist.
But the aliens are indeed different. With gods pressing on their heads, they don't have much fear of death at all.
What is resurrection, what is entering the realm of gods after death, and what is becoming an envoy of gods.
Using the tribe's reverence and worship of gods and yearning for the afterlife, we weave beautiful lies one after another, firmly binding the tribe to Trapped in control.
Early at the beginning of building this belief system, these gods had carefully planned how to make the people of the tribe willingly sacrifice for them.
As Connie said before, even if these aliens know the truth now, it will not help.
They have been deeply brainwashed by the belief in the gods, and they obey the orders and arrangements of the gods almost unconditionally.
no way.
Sumo couldn't help but sigh.
The normal solution seems to be unworkable. To deal with the aliens, you have to fight fire with fire.
But before that, we still have to figure out what the purpose of their sudden attack is.
“This.” Connie showed some hesitation.
With the strength of the Austrian clan, they can only be considered as middle and lower reaches within the alien clan. Although they can serve on the table, they are far from being able to participate in important decisions.
So even if she tried her best to inquire about the war plan, the information she finally got was so varied that it was difficult to tell the truth from the false.
However, by combining the information, she managed to come up with several possible reasons.
"Tell me, no matter whether the news is true or false, it is better than my own random guessing." Sumo affirmed.
“There are three possibilities.” Connie said thoughtfully,
"First, this war may be a huge sacrifice ceremony, and they intend to achieve a special purpose through this ceremony. It is very likely that the moment the sacrifice is completed, it will directly defeat the human beings on the front line. All defenses, and sacrifices, the more people die, the better. This may also be the reason why the royal family has occupied the east but has not attacked yet."
"Second, and the current death wave disaster. Related, they want to trick humans into using powerful weapons to catalyze the death tide. After all, human territories are built on the surface of the earth and are relatively fixed, making it difficult to move around in a short time. But alien races are different. Major alien tribes They all have the ability to move camps. Once the scale of the death wave continues to expand, the infected will eventually help the aliens defeat humans."
"Third, I guess the current war is likely to be the same as the first battle. It’s related to topic selection, but I can’t figure out the specifics. You humans must be more familiar with this aspect. You might as well think more about what kind of topic selection will require starting a war in advance.”
Fortunately. A chess piece was placed within the alien race in advance, and Connie's guess opened up new ideas for Sumo.
He lowered his head and thought, and began to analyze these three possibilities one by one. The first is conjecture about sacrifice.
The probability of this is indeed very high. Soldiers are expensive and fast. Once the millions of troops of Yu Sanjia are assembled, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for foreigners to break through the defense line and invade the surrounding areas.
However, the alien army has been stationed at the border for a long time, but has yet to launch an offensive. This weird behavior of waiting for the human army to gather is really suspicious.
But it is not complicated to verify whether this is related to sacrifice.
If such a huge sacrificial circle really existed, its layout would definitely leave many traces.
As long as he goes to the front line in person and investigates carefully, he can easily discover the clues.
Secondly, it catalyzes the death wave disaster.
It must be said that such a guess is very accurate, and it is highly consistent with the strategic goals of the alien race.
Human civilization on Earth relies on technology, and technology is extremely dependent on all aspects of infrastructure.
Population can be easily moved, but infrastructure is like a foundation.
Once you give up, it will undoubtedly take months to rebuild.
If during this period, the death tide disaster spreads rapidly, reaches a large scale, and launches an impact on human territory, then the technological upper limit of major human territories will be directly sealed. This is undoubtedly more dangerous than a direct attack by the alien army. Tough puzzle.
"But this can be easily avoided, as long as you don't use powerful fire weapons to cause superposition of destructive power."
When this idea came to Sumo's mind, he suddenly discovered that the top human beings did indeed He is far-sighted and Musk’s judgment on the future battlefield is completely correct.
Is this a mistake?
In order to prevent powerful weapons from falling into the hands of foreigners, the development and use of them was directly abandoned.
It not only avoids risks, but also ensures that the evolution speed of the death wave disaster is controllable, directly avoiding the emergence of a huge hidden danger.
The development of exoskeleton armor will further reduce the accumulation of destructive power, especially when dealing with infected bodies, which can kill them almost without injury.
If the alien race really holds this idea and waits for the pressure on humans to speed up the production of powerful weapons, I am afraid they will suffer a big loss in the next battle.
As for Connie’s third guess, this war is related to the first gambling fight.
"What kind of gambling scene requires war to pave the way?"
Sumo thought carefully for a while, but still helplessly rejected all the ideas that came to his mind.
The first two guesses are well-founded, and there is a lot of information to assist in verification and judgment.
Only this one item had too little information, so he couldn't guess it, and there was no way to verify it.
“Fortunately, we still have four months to collect information. During this time, I will speed up and try to collect as much information about gambling as possible for you.”
Connie bit her lip and considered giving up.
If her current behavior was known to the royal family, it would not be enough to die hundreds of times.
But there is no way. Since becoming the high priest of Oreo, her wealth and life have been completely bound to Soma.
The two of them are both prosperous and destructive.
Furthermore, once the final winner is Somo, the Austrian tribe will receive unprecedented development support in the wasteland continent.
Such risks and benefits would make any foreigner extremely excited.
"But what are you going to do next? Let the war on the front line continue?"
Thinking of Somo being teleported to the inside of the city beast, Connie frowned and said with lingering fear. :
“Fortunately, you have the means to escape. We still know too little about the existence of the City Beast, and we have no idea that it can interfere with nearby spaces.”
The City Beast
Su Mo pursed his lips, tapped his fingers on the table, and thought quietly.
"Do you have any information about the Shadow Beast Clan?"
"Yes, I have collected a lot of them specially." Connie nodded immediately and used magic to condense a diamond-shaped black and white crystal. come out.
Sumo took it and put it on his forehead, and a message came instantly.
I have to say that the Shadow Beast Clan is a bit strange. Their strength is both high and low. It is a special race with very serious polarization in strength.
Because of their special shape, they have to live in the shadow of an object since birth.
The stronger the items stored, the stronger the potential for growth and the faster the speed.
On the contrary, if you only store some ordinary mortal objects, your combat effectiveness may not be as direct as that of a frogman when you reach adulthood.
The city beast is a relatively powerful existence among the storage bodies that the shadow beast clan can choose.
Once its body is formed, it will have combat power no less than that of a demigod.
At the same time, more and more special spaces can be created inside, and powerful dead warriors can be cultivated to protect themselves.
However, the flaws of the city beast are also obvious.
This kind of powerful existence cannot be occupied by ordinary shadow beasts alone. It often requires thousands of shadow beasts to enter the city beast's body together in order to erase its consciousness and store it.
With so many shadow beasts existing in one body, the most direct impact is that the shadow beasts after being stored will also be affected by the impact of each other, and they will lose their minds along with the city beasts.
The final result is what it is now. The city beast has become a tool that only has instincts and can be controlled by simple spells.
"Fight poison with poison. If there is no way to deal with the dead soldiers inside, then start with the city beast."
Thinking of the spell that has been strengthened by the system, it can directly teleport people to the designated point.
Su Mo was slightly happy. Since it is a tool, is it possible for it to be controlled by him?
As long as the system is used to strengthen the way to use the city beast, or a special driving spell, once the city beast is controlled, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the aliens.
To go one step further, if powerful city beasts can be recognized by the system as targets that can be upgraded and strengthened.
That's so sexy!
If you can completely control the city beast and let him have self-awareness, it will be like laying a huge thunder for the alien race.
Detonated at a critical moment, the effect may directly establish a partial victory!
