Volume 11: The Cursed Hammer Witch Chapter 25: The Situation Gradually Deteriorates (Part 2)
"What has broken out here is a mental plague. It is also caused by the Pale Mark, but we have obviously shown some tendency to curb this kind of projection. The limitations of these monsters can be seen directly from the map."
The emperor of the human empire openly projected the map of the entire human empire into the secret room, pretending not to see the suddenly bright eyes of the soft-bodied monster-like night elves and the elves with a hundred eyes and long legs. For him, this kind of map can be given to them at will. The emperor believes that this kind of map is at most not much different from the one stored in their palace. It is just a matter of time.
However, it was this heroic aura and the difference in measure that led to the difference in victory and defeat between the two sides. The two elves were obsessed with maintaining the status quo and taking advantage of small gains, but for the great emperor, how could such exposure be more important than solving the current problem? The emperor did not show any particularly unhappy expression towards the two races that were destined to be cleared after the plague was dealt with, but waved his hand and pointed to a corner of the entire empire map, the Emerald Territory that once belonged to the Elf Empire. Under the twitching gaze of the Elf Emperor, he said indifferently:
"In the border province, my army is confronting these monsters infected with the plague. Due to the specimen problem, I am not sure how different the plague here is from the radiant disease you have, but I guess it is not much different."
"This plague spread from the meteor that deviated from its normal position. Just like the eyewitness reports you saw, a terrifying and disgusting white knight also appeared on our side. He wore a white robe and had the ability to interfere with people's minds and spread the plague. But his presence was not very long, so you may want to take a look at it for reference."
"The White Knights' action time is not stable, but it is obvious that they need a certain buffer time to accumulate magic power. You can see that at the beginning they attacked like crazy waves. If they maintained this kind of attack, I am afraid that I would not be sitting in the palace talking to you now, but sitting in the emergency shelter talking to you. Of course, it is fortunate that the abilities of these monsters seem to have some limitations. You may have also noticed that they act strictly according to a certain pattern."
The entire map of the empire was distorted and deformed into a planet, and the thin strips of burning white lines were extremely dazzling on the simulation of the entire planet.
The white light gradually cut the entire planet into small pieces through horizontal and vertical cutting. The plague in the border territory slightly shifted the entire position, but if it rushed into the three border passes, it would soon fit in with the great plains on the map and re-form a complete burning sequence.
This kind of patchwork pattern has a special kind of beauty, and the plague that is gathered together is extremely dazzling on the map. The night elves and elves looked at the scattered white light on the planet map with some dissatisfaction, always feeling that these pictures look a little uncomfortable. The human emperor pointed to the location of the three border passes with his huge palm, and his voice was dull and solemn, as if he was introducing some extremely effective insecticide.
"We successfully kept those monsters outside the three border gates. They had no way of breaking through the defense line we set up."
The emperor pointed to the stalemate area and said proudly:
"The slave army has a resistance beyond my imagination. The plague of mind infection seems to be able to spread only temporarily to the place where we have normal minds. And those guys with abnormal brains can often survive. So I sent the sin army to explore there."
"Of course, the results are very encouraging. Those evildoers were not infected too seriously by the plague. Although their thoughts and behaviors have deviated to some extent, it is obvious that they are all within the controllable range. We have a complete enemy defense strategy and internal structure diagram. They don't seem to pay much attention to and consider these evil troops. This shows that they are a group of mechanical life forms, just as I expected."
"Look at the rigid battle plan of these monsters. Look at how these horrible things only know how to walk in a straight line and burn people with sticks. They refuse to communicate at all. I suspect that they are not refusing to communicate, but they have no concept of communication. Just like we didn't know about elemental creatures at the beginning, these things that look radiant are likely to be mutations of some elemental creatures. So I formulated a series of rules, which actually proved to be effective. Dealing with these monsters should not be like dealing with biological creatures. On the contrary, they are just a group of mutated elemental creatures, I think so."
In the virtual space, the emperor, whose body was burning with sulfur flames and blood, spoke with emotion and gestures about his speculations. He proposed many possible speculations about the monsters flying from space, and many of them were convincing .
Why can't they communicate ? Because they can't communicate. Why are they human knights? Because they used the template of ground creatures as a reference when they landed. Why are they so hostile to life? Because they are not life at all, just like when they came, I'm afraid they are just a variant of elemental life. Can you expect a group of lights to understand human aesthetics? So the difference between infection and aesthetics can be explained.
However, just as the other two emperors were listening in fascination, the image of the human emperor suddenly fluctuated. The human emperor, who was just blowing foam flying, suddenly became extremely gloomy after the fluctuation, and the atmosphere in the whole room gradually became solemn and terrifying.
"……?"
"?"
What happened here?
The hundred-eyed elves and the soft-bodied night elves looked at each other and said that they could not understand what the human emperor was doing.
But out of respect for the enemy, or simply because they could not defeat the human emperor, the two transformed elves had no intention of disturbing the human emperor's thoughts, allowing time to pass bit by bit.
"……terribly sorry."
In the depressing atmosphere, the human emperor was silent for a long time and then whispered:
"Just ten minutes ago, the first of the three border passes was lost. Because of the pig's sudden advance and contempt for the enemy, the dragon slayer who rashly went out of the city to fight disappeared in the battle and can be marked as dead. The sword master and the prince led the large army to retreat to the second pass to organize defense. We don't have much time."
