Chapter 926 The Real Trap
Cake Island, inside the central castle.
The magicians gathered around the magic sand table in the center. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at the constantly changing data figures on the sand table, their eyes showing three parts of amazement and seven parts of curiosity.
At this time, because Irene herself was too lazy to move, Kira, who was appointed as the chief military strategist of this war, wore a casual green magic suit and a pair of golden monocles on his face. Under the reflection of the magic color, he reflected the light of wisdom and his every move was elegant.
He sat at the white round table beside him, his slender and powerful fingers continuously tapping on the virtual keyboard that materialized from the ancient text. The content on the virtual screen in front of him kept changing with the sound of "pa pa pa", which was brilliant and colorful.
Under his control, the virtual computer was connected to the magic sandbox through magic power, and the magic sandbox observed the entire cake island through the "Eye of Exploration". They were like the USB ports of a computer, connected one to another.
The result of this is that he only needs to sit here and move his fingers to view, analyze and control the changes of the entire cake island in the most intuitive and detailed way.
This feels a lot like playing a tower defense game with cheats. Players can set up one clever trap after another on their own territory, and then quietly wait for those ignorant enemies to step in and then play with them.
Felide walked over to Kira and watched the tower defense game on the virtual screen for a while before asking curiously, "Kira, why did you want me to leave this loophole where you can enter and exit freely by using the armament color?"
Several other wizards also came over and echoed, "Yes, yes... In this way, those who can use Armament Haki can't be locked up, right?"
Kira adjusted his glasses and said in a condescending tone, "I call you by your title when I'm working! Now please call me military advisor!"
Everyone knew that Kira had started to act again, and their faces were immediately filled with black lines: "...How did you manage to say such shameful and immature words without changing your expression?"
Kira did not react at all, but just stared at Felide quietly with a pair of calm sky blue eyes.
Felide couldn't help but clench his fists behind his back, and took a breath before speaking: "Jun..."
Before he could finish the word "Military Advisor", his voice was interrupted by someone who said skillfully: "You should know that the magic trap is not unbreakable. A strong force can destroy it!"
“…”
Of course I know about this kind of thing, but do you have to ask me to call you "Military Advisor" and interrupt me?
"There are more than 3,000 spell traps on the entire island. With such a large number, no matter how sophisticated your magic is and how much mana we provide to the spells, it is impossible to withstand the bombardment of powerful men like Kaido, Big Mom, the Twin Calamities, and General Star!"
Felide nodded. He knew best how powerful his magic was . If the people Kira mentioned really wanted to break through the spell trap, his magic alone would not be able to hold on for long.
"That is to say, it is inevitable that they will finally break free from the magic trap!"
"In that case, instead of wasting a lot of magic power to trap these strong ones, it is better to relax the conditions and only trap the weak ones!"
"A pirate who doesn't know Armament Haki is definitely much weaker than one who knows Armament Haki. It will take more time and effort to break the spell. This way, your spell trap can be used to the maximum efficiency!"
"I see……"
Felide nodded as if he understood something, and looked at Kira who was extremely proud, and thought to himself: Although this kind of strategizing is indeed very handsome, I really want to beat him to death! !
However, Kira’s show-off moments are far from over!
"Do you think this is the end? No! The real purpose of this first level 'Magic Trap' is far more than this!"
Kira sneered, raised his chin proudly, and continued: "Trapping those useless minions, releasing those elite pirates, screening out the enemies, and dividing their forces, this is just a trap on the surface."
"The real killer move of this plan lies in the invisible second step!"
At this moment, Kira was like a dark military strategist who manipulated the battlefield and calculated people's hearts, and his voice seemed to be full of supreme wisdom.
"In this kind of large-scale war where life and death are unpredictable, after being 'abandoned' into a trap by the strong, the minions may become restless due to fear of death, may feel resentful due to losing the opportunity to plunder treasures, or may retreat and run away due to fear of punishment after the war... In short, there are definitely not many people who can keep a normal mind!"
"Among these pirates, there are far more people who don't know how to use Armament Haki than those who do, so the majority of them are left behind. The more people there are, the easier it is to panic. In panic, their intelligence will decrease, and they will make wrong choices, such as killing each other according to the rules of the spell trap!"
After hearing Kira's words, Felide frowned, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Killing each other? How could they treat their companions like this?!"
Kira smiled: "You have to understand one thing, these people are pirates, villains, bad guys, not our 'Fairy Tail' wizards, don't imagine how good their character is!"
"Bad-tempered people like this usually do anything to gain a high position in the pirate group, gain more benefits, and take more treasures! To them, those 'companions' are just 'competitors' who can be sacrificed at any time!!"
"Look! Someone has already started to take action!" Kira used magic to transmit the images seen by the 'Eye of Exploration' to the virtual screen of the ancient document, and then enlarged it and presented it to everyone.
“So fast?!”
Not only Felide, but everyone else was also shocked. Through the screen, they could clearly see that in order to escape the spell trap, the pirates began to attack their "comrades" around them, sneaking up on them, deceiving them, showing weakness, being cruel, and showing no mercy every time they attacked.
"That kind of emotion is contagious, especially when so many people are trapped in a crowded environment at the same time, the emotion will be spread and absorbed more quickly and more strongly!"
Kira paused for a moment, then added: "By the way, have you noticed the weather outside? Perhaps because of the existence of the 'Eye of Exploration', you all ignored it?"
"Although the existence of the eye is shocking enough, the climate of the island is also a catalyst for this emotion."
"Atmospheric pressure, light brightness, air humidity, sensory cues, mental magic... these things are perfectly combined to bring out their emotions, and the effect of 'killing each other' is so significant!"
The magicians were stunned and broke out in cold sweats. They looked at Kira with shocked eyes and were speechless for a long time. It was as if they had just met him for the first time. After being in a daze for a long time, they began to exclaim in admiration.
"You're awesome, Kira!!"
"It's just like the second 'Fairy Strategist'!!"
"I am blind. In addition to your talent in magic, you also have military talent?!"
"You always said you were a 'military strategist' before, but I didn't believe you at the time. I never thought you were really a genius?!"
Please, don't compare me to Mavis, a 'fairy strategist' who can't even calculate correctly in a mere fight between thirty people and six teams, okay?
However, Kira was still very satisfied with everyone's attitude, and waved his hand gracefully: "Although I don't mean to look down on the first generation, but in this aspect, I am indeed stronger!"
"I say, Kira!"
Erza suddenly spoke up and looked at Kira, her eyes filled with the desire to find out the truth: " Are all the things you just said really within your calculations?"
"All of this was within my calculations? How is that possible?"
"Such complex data also involves the most unpredictable human heart. In this case, I am afraid that even a normal human brain cannot calculate it, let alone me, but..."
Kira chuckled, turned the virtual computer in his hand, and proudly displayed the data in front of everyone: "Magic can! The ancient document can calculate it! "
The magicians were amazed again: "How amazing! The ancient document is so amazing !!"
"But... although I can understand that the Super Ancient Script is stronger than the ordinary Ancient Script magic, I didn't expect it to be so much stronger. When I saw Aoki Pegasus's Hibiki, he didn't use any similar magic when he used the Ancient Script."
Kira spread his hands: "This is my gift of talent."
People with talent can get twice the result with half the effort, and it is useless for others to envy them.
"Now... we can start the second level of this tower defense game!"
