The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 178 Division and Suffering

Strictly speaking, Abes is a person with a basic cautious character.

If this was not the case, why would Abes feel uneasy about a teleportation tablet that had been used many times?

However, no matter how cautious he was, he could never have imagined that beside the Supreme Being, there was a racial god, the one-eyed god of the orcs.

It was impossible for him to imagine that the information he obtained by arranging people to observe the Castle of the Raven was actually just a false appearance covered up by the gods.

No matter how cautious he was, he couldn't have known that the Crow Castle had already lost one third of its men, and that the "Mad Soldiers" created by the evil ritual of "Incarnation" were about to be deployed on the city walls.

----------

Although he had some basic knowledge about the Minqiu tribe from the letters of Bad, the Lord of Sludge City, he was still particularly surprised when Abes saw it with his own eyes.

A world with magic, a world with strange races, just as it should be.

On the one hand, as a kind of transparent, gelatinous, cold creature, the Minqin tribe seems to be covered by a layer of haze when you are a little far away, just like the slight distortion caused by the evaporating air on the ground in the summer.

This alone is far superior to human scouts or the surrendered lizardman scouts under Abes.

On the other hand, this is the real terrifying aspect of the Wenqiu clan, and also the method they commonly use.

Separate the limbs.

The information obtained by these split limbs will be known to them when they return and merge.

"Anyway, let me demonstrate."

A female warrior of the Minqin tribe named Mint walked in front of her fellow tribesmen and demonstrated it to Abes.

She closed her eyes slightly, concentrated a little, and then waved her hands vigorously.

A faint magical light flickered on his wrist, and then change happened.

First, the wrist of Mint's arm began to slowly crack as if it had been cut off, revealing the transparent gelatinous substance inside.

Through this cross-sectional perspective, Abes realized more clearly that the body material of the Min-Qing people did look very much like a mass of sticky gel.

Maybe because her name is Mint, her colour is also a faint blue glow, giving people a damp and cold feeling.

As if he didn't feel any pain, the crack on his wrist got worse.

In the end, it was completely split into two halves.

However, the "broken" part of the palm no longer had the shape of a palm. Instead, it began to flow and deform continuously, flowing freely like liquid metal.

It is transparent and elastic, and emits a slight vapor when squeezed and deformed.

In the end, the expected shape was formed into a crescent-shaped insect the size of a mouse.

Its body was still trembling slightly, as if it were really a living creature.

"If you only use one hand or one foot, you can get this. Its function is limited to viewing."

"But if we increase the stakes..."

As he said this, Mint pressed his left arm, which was missing a hand, onto the moon jelly worm.

Then, her entire arm began to flow along with the jelly worm.

Then, it appeared again in a state the size of a dog or a cat, and its appearance was also that of a cat.

"This one now is much larger in size and has many more functions."

Jelly kitten, graceful, elegant and cute.

The structure of its hair is like a stone sculpture, with rows and clusters of hair that shimmer and seem inlaid with gem-like colors.

Perhaps because it is made of water, its eyes are particularly clear and bright, sparkling with wisdom.

Abes felt that if he was stared at by such eyes, it would be completely understandable if everything he did was recorded by the other party.

And when it moves lightly, its body trembles slightly like the Min-Qing tribe. You can tell at a glance that it has a soft and smooth touch, making people want to touch it.

Its tail is curled up like a thin jelly strip.

Apart from its transparent, jelly-like features, its movements are full of grace and agility, giving people a wonderful enjoyment.

"It can see and hear, and it can do some basic movements."

"Like this..."

Mint snapped his fingers with his remaining hand, and then the entire jelly kitten arched its body, compacting and flowing the material that made up itself, turning into a transparent gelatinous palm.

"The hand of the magician of the Minqin tribe!"

"It can be commanded to perform a number of actions: to manipulate an object, or to open an unlocked door or container, or to place an object in or take it out of a container, or to pour out the contents of a vial."

"It's not that we can't attack, but... it's better than nothing. Just because we are excellent fighters doesn't mean we have to become a part of this. We can still be excellent fighters. Of course, if we have to bear weight, we can't carry anything heavier than ten pounds."

"It's not impossible to split more body parts, but if you do that, the remaining body parts will have difficulty moving normally. Since you are not running for your life, but just for reconnaissance, I will not demonstrate the rest of the part."

Abes stared at the scene demonstrated by Mint in amazement, and couldn't help but marvel at the mystery and power of the Minqiu tribe.

However, he soon raised the question that he was most concerned about.

Range.

You know, whenever it comes to magic, those designs of certain lengths really make Abes feel embarrassed.

Indeed, in the epic scenes where extraordinary people fight each other, in encounter battles, two hundred feet and one thousand feet are already extremely useful data.

However, when the same thing is required to be used on ordinary people, Abes will realize the uselessness of the spell.

The range is too short.

To give a simple example, due to their excellent protective coloration of translucency, the Min-Qing people can get closer than ordinary people, and even when they get to a dangerous distance from the city wall, they can still observe with confidence.

However, if the range of the method of splitting the body is limited to the range of a few dozen to a few hundred feet like a spell, then it will not be very effective.

After crawling out of two or three rooms, it might be out of range, so what tactics can be used?

It can be said that in the current siege warfare, if Abes and his men only made magic arm armor, they could certainly gain an advantage in encounters and close combat.

But it is absolutely impossible to achieve the current result of ten rounds of bombing without any damage to one's own people.

It was because of the existence of the magic catapult that Abes and his men were able to gain such a huge advantage in their attack on Raven Castle.

After understanding Abes's concerns, the Minqin female warrior in front of him also smiled slightly.

"How could that be? Of course the effect is far-reaching. Or rather, it depends on the situation."

"If you want to be able to control it anytime and anywhere and be able to grasp the situation at all times, it may be ineffective after being released 200 feet."

"But as we have said before, the information is received only after it returns and merges with the self.

"That is to say, there is no need to control it at all times, so there is naturally no limitation like the short range of spells."

Only after hearing the other party's explanation did Abes feel relieved.

The general idea is that if you want to watch live broadcasts, you will have the same range limitation as a spell, just like a TV with an invisible signal line;

What they did was like a camera that was sent out and returned at a fixed time.

The advantage is that it is free from the limitations of spell range in this world, but the disadvantage is that the information is not instant.

If you don't wait for the camera to return and don't get the camera's recording memory card, you will know nothing about the information obtained in the middle.

"In short, if we just want to investigate what's going on in Raven Castle, I think sending three to five [Kittens], plus some [Bugs] to assist, should be no problem."

"It's up to you to decide."

Knowing that his demands could be met, Abes felt relieved.

And looking at the jelly pony that was almost the same as the jelly kitten, Abes asked curiously.

"If you split off an arm, you can get a kitten. If you want a pony..."

Before he could finish his words, Abes stopped talking because of the unfriendly look Mint suddenly cast at him.

----------

suffering……

Everything is suffering...

The soldiers in Raven Castle thought so.

Although they are all subordinates of General Paddy, there are differences in rank among them.

For example, those who had followed General Paddy in his pursuits and fought against different alien species in the Eastern Wilderness definitely possessed a lofty status, because they were General Paddy's well-deserved subordinates and followers.

Those who, during this period of time, had relied on General Paddy's temporary wartime authority to mobilize troops from all over the country, and who had then increased their control by taking advantage of his power and disruption, were naturally the lowest class of people.

Their original hierarchy had been completely disrupted, and some of the other brother troops, perhaps because they showed dissatisfaction, disobedience and non-cooperation, had been bombarded and killed by the mage regiments at General Paddy's disposal... Who knows.

I originally thought that the suffering would only last here, but I didn't expect that the situation would be even more difficult later.

Raven Castle is a strong military base.

General Paddy managed to eat up such a castle, such a huge thing, in just four days.

And what was the price he paid?

Amazing damage ratio.

The ones who were lost would naturally not be those elite personal soldiers; the one who suffered casualties would naturally not be General Paidi himself.

General Paddy often said that the people were merely the currency for a country to step onto a bigger stage, and he was the country.

Therefore, as long as they serve him well, the country will not treat them unfairly and will save them.

But what did they get after paying so much for General Paddy's ambition?

It was the collective disappearance of generals and officers.

And this nightmare is not over yet.

The very day after the general and officers disappeared, everyone went crazy, including themselves.

Inside the castle, people's eyes became fanatical and full of violence.

There were distorted expressions on their faces, as if they were controlled by the devil's curse.

A group of people waved their weapons wildly and roared as they attacked the crowd around them.

Every room, every tower and tent was filled with the smell of blood and death, and screams and shouts could be heard one after another.

People became bloodthirsty and launched a brutal fight regardless of the consequences.

Innocent people... No, there are no innocent people. There are only those who are not as skilled as others and are brutally killed.

But they were not unconscious, and everyone was clearly aware that this was not a good thing, as it would only lead them into chaos and despair. Not to mention helping General Paddy become king, they might not even be able to defeat the other warlords.

But they just keep going.

Maybe when you just wanted to drink water, someone took the cup away.

It may be that the breathing sound is too loud, or it may be that when speaking, the tongue slips a little and makes people feel disrespected.

In short, flesh, corpses, and fire.

Some of them were shouting something...

"Run, why don't you leave here..."

Yes, why, why not leave this terrible Raven Castle?

Anyway, General Paddy and the officers are gone, right?

But after this thought briefly emerged, it disappeared again without a trace.

However, they ultimately did not kill each other in a frenzy of fighting, leading to their own destruction in the riot.

Have some people woken up?

Are you really awake?

In short, they followed those guys who had regained consciousness and began to make agreements to restrict their future behavior. "This is the last bloodbath. Kill all those who are unwilling to stop..."

So, they killed one third of their colleagues...

Tasting their blood and flesh...

It was at that time that they learned what "incarnation" and "mad soldiers" meant.

But now, they did not die because of that inexplicable madness, but were going to die for other reasons.

On the city wall, after enduring ten rounds of bombardment, there was only desolation and silence, without any life.

Even those who are brave enough only dare to hide inside the tower.

When such a scene unfolds on the battlefield, it is obvious what will happen next.

The enemy will take advantage of the situation and swarm over them, and they will all die.

My thoughts stopped here, and then...

"Have some lunch, and after that, you can go guard the city wall."

bang-

After they were in a daze, after they finished eating, and after they walked into the tower.

The heavy door behind him slowly closed.
