Chapter 843: The Battle of the Floating City (2)
"I'm sorry, father. I don't know exactly what happened to the Yellow Sparrow, and there has been no information back in the recent period. But rest assured, I will make amends for my mistakes and promise never to go wrong again. β
Seeing the anger in Teramante's eyes growing brighter and brighter, Revaran hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply, voluntarily admitting his mistake. He knows very well that any quibbling at such a time can only backfire, and instead of waiting for his old opponent to fall into the trap, it is better to stand up and take responsibility, and at most some rights will be reduced.
"Make amends?" Teramante stared at his eldest son with a dark face, and it took a full half a minute before he snorted softly. "Okay, I'll give you a chance. Go ahead and get the job done before you decide who wins or loses. If there is even the slightest mistake, then don't blame me for being unkind. With a wave of his hand, he expelled Revaran from the room.
For any spellcaster, such a forced teleportation can be called a naked humiliation, as if an ordinary person walked into a house and was beaten out with a stick by its owner.
There was no doubt that the Supreme City was now out of anger, ignoring the eldest son's extremely difficult facial expression.
Another Yin Soul Prince, Yada, subconsciously frowned after witnessing the humiliation of his allies, and then slightly owed to his father, and also disappeared in place with the spell. Clearly, he intended to assist his brother in his mission.
After the two leaders of the Shar Church left, the corners of Hojehana's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, and then he came to the Supreme City Lord and lowered his voice and said, "Your Excellency, I have long advised you not to make an enemy of a person who has the power to kill gods, Henry. Angome is far from being as simple as it seems. In particular, the attitude of the king of wizards, Lavok, is very worth pondering. Perhaps you should reconsider your position and reach a settlement before the situation escalates further. β
"It's very pertinent, but it's a pity that it's too late." Terramante shook his head helplessly. Then he pointed to the translucent force field that shrouded Olympus Cheng. "Don't you see? The other side is fully prepared for this war, from the initial ramming of our flying platform to a whole set of powerful magic fans. Until the winner is really decided, he will definitely not give up. β
I have to say that the Grand Arcanist deserves to be the Grand Arcanist, and he made an accurate prediction of Henry's character before he even met.
He could feel the strong ambition that had been hidden under all the targeted measures, a way of thinking that would not cost anything, desperate to solve the problem once and for all, and it was the same as all the successful spellcasters in the Faeron Continent. The personality is stubborn, extreme, and dictatorial, just like when I was young.
"What do you mean to say...... We need to win this war before we can get a chance to negotiate? Hojehana asked cautiously.
As the second-in-command of the entire Yin Soul City, he knows best that although Teramant is respectful to the goddess Shar on the surface, it is only superficial, and he has been secretly looking for a way to escape from the other party's control.
In fact, the reason why Netherworld allowed Shar to preach here in the first place was just to get rid of the dependence on the magic net, and as a result, the dependence on the demon net was indeed gotten rid of, but then the dependence on the shadow demon net followed.
In the shadow plane dominated by negative energy. Almost all spellcasters will inevitably prefer the latter, as the Shadow Web greatly increases the power of Shadowmagic, Enchantment, Necromancy, and Illusion spells.
Due to the trap set by Shar, the caster delved deeper into the Shadow Web. The connection with the normal magic network will become more and more distant, coupled with the natural concealment, and in the end, more than half of the mages in the entire Yin Soul City will be accused unknowingly.
If the Lost Lady disconnects them from the Shadow Demon Net now, then the entire Floating City will lose more than half of its combat power in an instant, and who would dare to turn their faces rashly in such a situation.
Obviously, the Netherworld was kidnapped into his camp by Shar out of necessity, and the only thing he could do at the moment was to stop the further expansion of the Church's power and keep the leadership in the hands of Teramant.
Khojehana was able to get to where it is today. One of the main reasons is that he deeply understands this hidden confrontation and takes the initiative to stand up and take on the task of targeting. The whole city now knows that he is an enemy of the religious leader Revaran. In this way, the Supreme City Lord can maintain a relatively neutral attitude to balance power.
Teramant glanced at his ambitious sons, then smiled strangely, "That's right. Based on the experience of the Nessera era. In the confrontation between the floating city and the floating city, there can be no real victor at all. I don't want to waste my life in a never-ending war, so after gaining a certain advantage, it would be wise to shake hands and make peace. Of course, it would be better if we could form an alliance, knowing that we need a strong ally who shares the same values in our plan for return. β
"Father, if you already have an alliance in mind, why do you want to let Revaran and Yada go? I don't know exactly what the two of them planned, but it must have something to do with kidnapping and threats. Branas, the smartest of the twelve Shadow Princes, was the first to stand up and ask.
"It's very simple, as I said earlier, what Netherworld needs is a powerful ally, and if you can't even protect your family, then you don't deserve to be called strong at all. You can think of it as a test, and I need to understand that this is called Henry. Whether or not the young people of AncomΓ© are qualified to be our allies? Remember, we need to end the confrontation as the winner, otherwise it will be difficult to take the initiative in the next negotiations. With that, Teramant waved at his sons, signaling that they could all leave.
All the Nether Princes saluted with one hand to their chests, and then they cast their teleportation spells and disappeared without a trace. It is foreseeable that once these ten Yin Princes join the attack sequence, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble for Henry, after all, with so many legendary spellcasters together, even if the incarnation of the Goddess of Magic comes, it will be a headache.
"Your Excellency, are you trying to suppress the power of the Church?" After confirming that the Netherworld Princes were all gone, Hojehana couldn't help but ask.
Teramant glanced at the stern expression on his deputy's face. Nodding slightly: "Yes, in recent times, Revalan has obviously crossed the line. Not only does he want to gain more rights, but he is also snooping on the location of the Supreme City Lord. No doubt. Once again, he was bewitched. It seems to me that this confrontation may be an opportunity, if Henry. If Angomi can kill the gods as rumored, then we can use his power to get rid of the control, after all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. β
"But isn't it too obvious to do this, I'm a little worried that it will anger the goddess." Hojhana reminded worriedly.
You must know that Shar is not a good person, and in several power struggles, it is basically Teramant who has been forced to compromise. As the owner of the entire floating city, he had too many questions to consider. So it had to be temporarily subjugated to theocracy.
Just when the Supreme City Lord wanted to say something, a dazzling bright light suddenly erupted outside the window, and I saw that as soon as the mighty army of golems entered the defensive circle of Olympus City, the coils standing on the periphery instantly released a large purple arc of electricity, and hundreds of metal golems lost control within a few seconds, standing in place and constantly swinging, and some even sparked a large number of electric sparks.
Such a spectacle immediately aroused Telamant's great interest, and he did not bother to discuss the question of suppressing theocracy, and immediately went to the window, muttering to himself: "What is that?!! Is it magically made of electric rings? No...... Wrong...... I didn't feel any energy transfer from the net...... What a genius idea. Unexpectedly, more than eighty percent of our golems lost their control. β
"Your Excellency, now is not the time to praise your opponent, you better think of a way. Otherwise, our ground forces will not be able to attack at all. β
Hojehana shook his head helplessly, interrupting Teramant's research. Although he was also very interested in the pillars that were not stopped, he had not forgotten his responsibility as an assistant.
"Send out the mage regiment and two teams of soldiers at once and see how those metal pillars work. Don't panic, the more strange the enemy's response, the more we have to calm down, this war is not a battle that can be won or lost in a moment. β
As Terramante spoke, his eyes never left the coil that was discharging. As a Grand Arcanist, his curiosity about the unknown is no worse than that of a young man. In particular, this kind of technology, which can be applied to a wide range of protection, is like grabbing it immediately and using it on the Yin Ghost City.
"Understood! I'll arrange it. Hojhana bowed. He turned and left the top floor of the tower.
A few minutes later, two hundred men were dressed in black armor. The soldier with a sword and shield set off under the command of a ghost prince. Don't underestimate these humble guys, they are not ordinary goods, even the worst ones have at least five warrior levels and one spell casting level, completely crushing the elite of all human countries on the ground.
The ancient civilization of Nessreel worshiped black, and the city of the Underworld inherited this very well, whether it was soldiers, commanders, mages, or priests, all wore black burqas, and if they could, they even had to paint the surface of their armor black, and only those of high status were allowed to tattoo their own unique mark.
The Yin Prince who led the team this time was Kolari Bonas, his cloak embroidered with a gold star on a blue background, which looked particularly conspicuous in the dark, and the blood-glittering machete in his hand was not ordinary at first glance.
Obviously, Khojehana sent the neutral prince with the intention of testing the reality of Olympus. If there is strong resistance, then he will be extra careful next, and if nothing happens, he will immediately send more troops and mage regiments.
Due to the interference of the magic lock, long-range attacks are basically difficult to play a role, unless all the magic above level seven is used, then it is bound to draw more energy from the magic net, and once the limit is exceeded, it is likely to lead the Yin Soul City to fall from a high altitude.
