Chapter 1388
With great difficulty, Diamonks traveled back from the earth again. He groped for a long time on the reefs at sea, and finally found the space-time rift.
When he shuttled back to the border with Asgard again from the time-space rift. He has already discovered that his thousand-man squad was not only wiped out, but the corpses, weapons, etc. were all cleaned up by the people of Asgard.
Apart from the broken body armor and blood stains scattered on the ground, there is nothing to prove that an encounter battle broke out here.
But Diamonks wasn't sure if there were any Asgardian soldiers wandering around. If there are still those rogues cleaning the battlefield and cleaning up deserters, then they may be in danger.
But maybe his luck has bottomed out. So Diamonks was lucky that he didn't come across any wandering soldiers cleaning the battlefield.
He crossed this border area relatively smoothly, and arrived at his original station again. This took him a lot of time.
Because he has to do these things carefully. The forces in the Borderlands are intertwined, and Asgard, Dark Elves, Light Elves, and Frost Giants all have places to fight here.
If I accidentally get involved in a small-scale conflict, I may die before I can return important news.
Diamonks is nocturnal. There was no water or rice along the way. Because any place where water is taken may be stationed in ambushes.
When he rushed back night and night, he just happened to encounter a border law enforcement officer who was inspecting the complete defeat of a thousand-man army.
When the judge on duty saw the tattered and haggard-faced Damonks appearing in the garrison, he gave the order without much thought: "Catch the deserters!"
More than 20 strong dark elf soldiers lined up. Like a tiger pouncing on its prey, it crushed the already weak Diamonks to the ground viciously, imprisoning him without any strength to struggle.
"I'm not a deserter! I'm the commander-in-chief of the thousand-man team, Damonks." Although he was pressed to the ground and couldn't move, Damonks still tried his best to raise his face, so that the law enforcement officers could see clearly who he was. who.
Law enforcement officers in the Far Lands know the face of almost every Thousand Commander here. Although Diamonks' face was a bit haggard due to these days of hardships, the law enforcement officer could easily recognize that it was indeed the captain of the thousand-man team, Diamonks.
But even after recognizing him, the law enforcement officer still didn't want to let his subordinates let go. Instead, he said more severely: "I have received the news. A thousand-man team, because of your wrong judgment, didn't figure out the truth. , unexpectedly hastily attacked a group of Asgard's elite soldiers who had already ambushed and prepared, and the entire army was wiped out."
"A whole 1,000 great fighters were buried by you like this! Do you think you can escape punishment because you are a commander!" The law enforcement officer looked solemn and upright.
"According to the laws of the empire, the commander's improper command led to the annihilation of the entire army, and the commander himself also needs to be guilty of falling. According to the law, I can directly execute you now!"
"The sword and axe cut off the head of Damonks!" The law enforcement officer ordered, and he was about to execute Damonks for the crime of dereliction of duty.
But how could Diamonks be executed by the law enforcement officer at this critical moment? He felt that he could not die. If he died, that important news would not be passed on to Lord Malekith.
So he shouted loudly: "You can kill me! But I have the right to defend myself! I have healed the wounds of the dark elves, and I have shed blood for the expansion of the empire! I want to see Lord Malekith!"
"If you fail in your defense, do you know that what you are facing is no longer just the death penalty." The law enforcement officer had a cold face and a serious tone.
Commander is already a position for the dark elves from the grassroots to the middle management. In this role, if they are not satisfied with the judgment of the law enforcement officer, they can submit a plea to Malekith for judgment.
If the defense is successful, then naturally it is acquitted. But if the defense fails, and Malekith feels that the law enforcement officer's sentence is correct, then the person who applies for the defense will be punished more severely.
That is no longer a simple death sentence, but deprivation of your soul. Put on the execution platform and flog for 100 years. Let people feel what it means to truly live than die.
But Diamonks is already ready to sacrifice himself, and he must send back the news of the ether particles.
He couldn't directly explain this news to the judge, because this news was too important, and he didn't believe anyone except Lord Malekith.
—————
In the dark elf's palace, Malekith is planning an elaborate plan.
If it is said that collectors have ether particles in their hands, then this is still somewhat believable. Because collectors always like to collect all kinds of weird things.
His fame was small in the public sphere, but huge in certain circles. He always has some special collectibles on hand.
According to the information he has, Asgard will send more than 100 spaceships in exchange for ether particles.
These goods are all kinds of precious treasures, and it is very likely that the entire Odin treasure house will be emptied.
But even so, Malekith still felt that this was a good deal, because it was an ether particle, and ten Odin treasure houses could not compare to such a gem.
That is to say, when it comes to collectors, only those who like to collect and have high strength can agree to such a transaction.
Collectors may know what aether particles are all about. But he is just a collector, not an ambitious man. If Asgard can come up with enough collections to impress him, then he will indeed exchange a gem.
Not everyone wants to rule the universe with the Infinity Stones. And since Asgard can find collectors to exchange ether particles, then maybe the news that collectors have ether particles in their collections will also be spread.
News of the Reality Stone is bound to attract a pack of hungry wolves. For collectors, this may be a hot yam, and it is a good thing to be able to deal with it as soon as possible.
It's good news for Malekith, too. As long as I block the transaction here and rob this gem of reality, then my long-cherished wish for many years can be fulfilled.
But obviously, if the dark elves want to snatch this deal this time, they will inevitably face a fierce attack from Asgard.
But no matter how violent it is, there is a limit, because Asgard does not want this transaction to be a big deal, and 100 spaceships is probably the limit they can send.
In this way, the troops they can dispatch are actually limited. As long as I put all my eggs in one basket, eliminate enough elite soldiers, and launch a suicide attack on them, then I will definitely be able to snatch it successfully in one go.
It's just that this snatch requires careful planning. Malekith was closing his eyes and thinking about how to arrange this operation.
He wanted to be quiet, but his adjutant interrupted him at an inopportune time.
"My lord has a plea from a commander who has captured an entire thousand."
Malekith was very unhappy.
—————
When Diamonks saw Malekith, Malekith was sitting on a high throne. He looked at Diamonks with the eyes of scrutinizing ants, waiting for him to make a defense.
Even though his thinking was interrupted, Malekith still maintained the normal flow of the dark elves.
However, he was in a bad mood. Under normal circumstances, this kind of defense would probably fail. Malekith still believed in his border law enforcement officer. Moreover, there is really nothing to say about falling into a thousand-man team.
At that time, I will sentence this guy to be flogged for 500 years after his soul is stripped. Malekith had already figured out how to punish this man named Diamonks.
"Tell me how you plan to defend yourself."
Malekith looked at Diamonks indifferently, to see what kind of lame excuses he was going to use to defend himself, but the first sentence Diamonks uttered was earth-shattering, and Marchis could no longer feel at ease. sit high on the throne.
All I could hear was Diamonks kneeling on the ground, with his hands prostrating and his face facing the ground. His posture is very low, but his loud voice is very loud: "Master Malekith, I have found the ether particle! Our great cause is hopeful!"
bump! Marchis patted the handle of his throne heavily, and he jumped up!
