Chapter 614 Radicals in the North
Can the investigation team sent by Perficott be able to deal with the two ancient beasts? Not to mention that Shay was not sure about this issue, even Perfectcott herself would not expect that the investigation team she sent would be able to do this.
Even if she stuffed two Divine Grace Knights banner teams into the investigation team, she didn't think that these manpower alone could handle two ancient beasts that could rival the gods.
In Purficott's view, the fact that the investigation team was able to find traces of these two ancient beasts was their greatest success.
As for dealing with the ancient beast itself? Purficott planned to take action personally.
After all, the only units in the north that can fight the gods are her upgraded Beifa and herself.
When she was building the artifact-level steam armor for Befa, she also considered the possibility of wearing it in combat, so she made certain adjustments to it to suit her own wear.
When necessary, she will wear this set of artifact armor, and the set of armor blessed by the God of War will be given to Befa to wear.
In this way, there are two sets of artifact armors that can be used in battles.
Perficott has not considered letting others wear magical armor to fight, but currently there are no suitable candidates in the north.
Although the old housekeeper was about the same strength, he was a male. If he were to wear it, the size of the magical armor would have to be changed drastically, so neither she nor Befa would be able to wear it.
The same is true for other male knights, not to mention that they don’t even have legendary strength. Even if they enter the battlefield, they will die.
The foundation of the Northern Territory is still shallow after all. Even if Perficott has a potion that can upgrade the rank to legendary, the Northern Territory does not have enough knights of the rank.
As for female knights, not to mention, the strongest female knight in the North is still only the big knight.
So for Purficott, it is impossible for her to hand over the precious artifact armor to someone who is not strong enough and does not trust enough to wear it.
And in Purficott's view, if she can't win even if she wears the artifact armor herself and goes into battle, there is actually no difference if others wear it. Those who can't win can't win, and those who can win can win no matter what.
What's more, if necessary, Perficott has one last resort, which is to completely copy a Beifa wearing artifact armor.
Although this function of Cuiyulu requires a huge amount of her mental energy and may even drain her dry, Purficott has tried it, and she can do it if she really wants to copy it.
So in terms of display, Perficott has no more demand for combat power.
As for the ancient beast that cannot be solved even if Beifa is used, Purficott can only wait for his genius idea to be put into practice and bear fruit.
——————————————
Shay gave the highest level of reception to the investigation team sent by Purficott.
Although the settlement's material conditions are limited, the highest standard he can give is to personally greet him and serve him the best food in the settlement, but this is indeed the highest he can give. Specifications.
Fortunately, the people sent by Perfecticot didn't pay much attention to this. Everyone knows what the world is like now. Shay can entertain them with meat, which is already a very good treat.
So both parties can say that the guest and the host enjoy themselves.
"Although we are very grateful to Knight Cormac for your hospitality, we are not here to enjoy these delicacies." The investigation team was led by a civilian official. He solemnly asked Shay: "May I ask about the Lord? Do you have any clues about the two behemoths that you are concerned about? "
For this civilian official, completing the tasks assigned by Purficott is the most important thing.
In comparison, nothing else is important, or relatively unimportant.
"Yes, we have some clues." Shay was not surprised by the other party's attitude. He nodded affirmatively and replied: "After receiving the mission from the lord, I sent out men to deal with it. The area where the severed claw was originally found was surveyed.
Although many clues have been buried due to the weather, we still found some traces.”
"Sounds good. Have you found the giant beasts? Or there are traces of their activities." Civilian officials expressed more expectations.
In this regard, Shay just nodded and then shook his head: "We found some traces, which were indeed left by the two giant beasts, but they were not traces of their activities, but of their movements. Traces.
Based on what has been discovered so far, these two giant beasts should have been migrating due to the bad weather, rather than they originally lived here. ”
The Shay Pie. Those who went out to look for traces of the giant beasts were all the best hunters under their command. They found traces covered under the wind and snow, analyzed the source of these traces, and tracked the general direction of travel of the two giant beasts.
“Even if it is just like this, it will be of great help to our investigation work!” The civilian officials were overjoyed. Having clues to pursue is much better than starting the investigation from scratch like a headless fly. "Thank you very much, Knight Cormac! But please send your best guides to assist us. Tracking these two giant beasts is inseparable from their help."
"This is what it should be. I will let my best hunter assist you. All for the sake of the North, and all for the lord." Although Shay shouted a slogan, it was his truest expression of emotion.
Although the other members of the investigation team did not shout slogans, judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they had the same idea.
This is a very common thing in the Northern Territory, especially with the arrival of the final cold winter. Everyone has received favors from Perficott's construction of the Northern Territory, and naturally has a great influence on her. Great gratitude.
In fact, this is one of the main reasons why the empire center has absolutely no way to deal with Perficott.
Her reputation is too high. To the people, Perfectcott is the one who saved them.
Compared with her, the Queen only has some advantages in the reputation accumulated from leading the empire to the prosperity of the industrial age in the past.
Now that it is reported that the Queen is ill and the heir to the royal family cannot shoulder the responsibility well, it can be said that Purficott has the ability to compete with the imperial center, or to be more serious. It is the condition of holding the emperor to order the princes.
Even because the political assets left to her by the old prince included a right to inherit the throne, even if Purficott wanted to wear the crown himself, there was no legal obstacle.
This has undoubtedly led to a considerable number of radicals in the north who are eager to accomplish this.
A considerable number of these radicals are the people left by the old prince. These people are deeply regretful and indignant that the old prince once had the opportunity to ascend to the throne but missed it.
Now that the old prince has passed away, and Perficott is his designated heir, these people naturally pass on their regrets and indignation to Perficott. Naturally, they would not have thought about this until Perficott had no chance of ascending to the throne. After all, the empire's throne succession law was there. Without sufficient legal support, even if he ascended the throne, it would be unfair. The words are not smooth.
As for completely overthrowing the empire yourself? This approach is not impossible, but relatively speaking, being able to ascend the throne legitimately is what these radicals hope for.
After all, the old prince has devoted his life to maintaining the survival of the empire. It would be somewhat unjustifiable if his heir directly overthrew the empire.
But when Purficott already has an unprecedented reputation, and also has the full support of the northern fiefdom, it can be said that all the necessary conditions have been met if he wants to legitimately ascend the throne of the empire.
The only things standing between Purfict and the throne were Princess Anne, the first in line of succession, and Purfict himself.
This is one of the reasons why things were able to progress so smoothly when Purficott put pressure on the empire's center and even fell out with Princess Anne.
These radicals are eager for the relationship between the royal family and Perficott to break down, so that they can push Perficott to the throne.
Although Shay is not a radical, he does not reject the views of radicals. He supports the matter of putting Perfect Court on the throne.
Although in the past, he had sworn allegiance to the Queen and was loyal to the Empire and the Royal Family.
But as Purficott gave him the chance to revive his family, his loyalty has been completely dedicated to Purficott.
If Perficott asked him to wield a sword against the royal family, he might refuse, but if he just supported Perficott to ascend the throne, then he would support it with both hands.
The civilian official that Shay faced happened to be a radical, which made the two sides have no barrier at all on the matter of loyalty to Purficott, and both were thinking about how to Only then can we do our best.
Because of this, with the full cooperation of both parties, the investigation team quickly locked in the activity range of the two ancient beasts.
They kept Purficott's instructions in mind and did not rush to capture the two ancient beasts. Instead, they further confirmed the activity range of the ancient beasts, and then surrounded them to restrict the movement of these two ancient beasts. The two ancient beasts continued to move.
In the opinion of the investigation team, although they are not capable of capturing these two giant beasts, they can still restrict their activities and provide assistance for subsequent capture operations.
And in their opinion, it is something that must be done.
Because they already know that Perficott will personally come to capture these two giant beasts.
There is no doubt that for the radicals, they will never tolerate their failure to do their job properly, which will cause the arrest of Purficott to be adversely affected.
They even felt that they were extremely incompetent and derelict in not crippling the giant beast and tying it up just waiting for Perficott to catch it.
If they can't even restrict the activities of the giant beasts and facilitate their capture, then they can collectively wipe their necks.
Although it is not popular in the traditional culture of Victoria to wipe the neck if you fail to complete the task assigned by the master, but for a knight, if you cannot complete the task assigned by the master, it will definitely be a lifelong shame, and It is a shame that cannot be washed away no matter what.
Any knight who has such a humiliating experience will be very embarrassed in the eyes of other knights or nobles.
The radical civilian official obviously did not want to be labeled as incompetent, so after discussing with Shay, the investigation team, with the help of several hunters, deployed a large number of large numbers around the area where the two giant beasts were active. traps and obstacles to interfere with the activities of these two giant beasts.
It cannot be said that their actions were fruitless, at least they were useless.
The traps set by the hunters were as outrageous to the ancient beasts whose physical fitness was comparable to that of gods, just like a child digging a mud hole in the ground to trap an elephant.
Although the ancient beasts did not fall into traps, traps basically did not impose any restrictions on the ancient beasts.
With just a little force from the ancient beast, it can easily destroy the trap that the hunters think is already very strong.
Only the Divine Grace Knights in the investigation team, perhaps because the divine aura on their bodies stimulated the ancient beasts, were able to keep the ancient beasts away for a while.
Fortunately, their harassment was still effective, and the two ancient beasts did stop migrating.
The two ancient beasts did not get together, or they were in a hostile state, so naturally they could not live in the same area.
They each just found a sheltered valley as a temporary residence. While avoiding the wind and snow, they also avoided the harassment of the investigation team.
The investigation team did not go any further. After being surrounded by the Divine Grace Knights and restricting the activities of the two ancient beasts, they stopped and waited for the arrival of Perfectcott in person.
However, they did not just wait, but tried to observe and analyze the two ancient beasts, trying to find out the weaknesses of the two ancient beasts, so that Perficott could help her when she arrived. .
The investigation team quickly identified from the two ancient beasts which one was the owner of the severed claw that Shay picked up. The coin is handed over to you because one of the missing claws is still easy to identify.
It is precisely for this reason that the investigation team feels that this end is easier to deal with than the other end.
After all, the combat effectiveness of one missing claw and intact limbs should be different, and judging from the fact that one of its claws was broken by another ancient beast, its combat effectiveness is obviously weaker.
Based on these cognitions, the investigation team quickly compiled a report, then sent it back to Langton and submitted it to Purficott.
Perficott is undoubtedly satisfied with the actions of the investigation team.
Not only did this save her a lot of effort, it also provided her with necessary information and references for her subsequent arrest.
But Purficott did not set off immediately, but was waiting for the experimental product she cultivated to grow.
This is a field she has never tried before, but because her mother is an excellent master of human body refining, Purficott, who inherited all the knowledge left by her mother, successfully completed her own experiment and got the test object she wanted.
However, due to the special properties of the test item, it will take some time to grow. Fortunately, Perfectcott can still afford the time.
