Chapter 1175 Ersluk’s Letter
The third border city, the core palace.
As soon as Roland and his group walked out of the long and narrow underground passage, they heard a hysterical scream.
"This is..." Wendy said in surprise.
"The Wail of Kabradabi," Phyllis, who was leading the way, replied, "After learning that Ersluk was defeated, it completely collapsed. Not only did it break from its previous silent norm, but it also attempted suicide many times. We spent a lot of time It took some effort to get it to submit.”
"I suddenly felt that it would be good to keep it alive." Tilly continued expressionlessly.
"The current situation is that it must be alive," Fei Li nodded without concealment. "The discovery of the secret message is an excellent opportunity, allowing us to understand the enemy more deeply, and even master their language and writing - — and this is the opportunity that the federation has been craving but has never been able to get."
"I didn't expect that Kabradabi would cooperate with you." Nightingale sighed.
"No, it doesn't. The process is a little complicated...you will understand it later when you see it."
Everyone walked to the interrogation table and saw that the body of the God's Punishment Warrior, possessed by a high-level devil, was tightly tied to an erected metal bracket with a pipe inserted into his abdomen. Its eyelids were forcibly opened, and a stack of paper filled with strange words was placed in front of it.
"Is this... the secret message that Axia reappeared?" Wendy asked.
"Yes, the discovery location was in mid-air. If it weren't for Maisie's sharp eyes, everyone would have almost missed this crucial scene." The answer was none other than Agatha. Her face looked a little pale and the bags under her eyes were slightly dark. It seemed that he had not rested for a long time in order to decipher the information in the letter.
After learning that the battle was over, Roland immediately sent the Neverwinter Detective Team to the front line to help the army collect information that was difficult to obtain by normal means. Such inadvertent clues are undoubtedly much more reliable than words revealed to humans openly.
Due to Axia's limited magic power, the initial retrieval was mainly intended to focus on the battle between the sniper team and the enemy, and how the demon slayer arranged the ambush and deceived Sylvie's observation.
However, the response to this move exceeded his expectations.
He did not expect that on the evening of the second day before the decisive battle, Ersluk sat on the giant skeleton and wrote this personal letter facing the setting sun.
This scene was also accurately recorded by the scene retrospective.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but buthhhhhhhhhhh..."
Agatha nodded to Zefeng beside her, who stamped his feet, and the high-level devil immediately shut his mouth.
"I see, you used Zefeng to control its movements and force it to read the secret message?" Nightingale said suddenly.
"Then use Ms. Carmilla's spiritual connection to repeatedly feel its first reaction when it sees the text." Celine added, "Although this guy deliberately confuses his consciousness, as long as he changes the text content and compares it multiple times, You can determine which thoughts are true and which are imaginary. To be honest, it’s thanks to His Majesty that I came up with this method.”
"Me?" Roland was stunned.
"You wrote in your intermediate biology textbook that as long as a dog sees a piece of meat, whether it eats the meat or not, it will secrete a large amount of gastric juice. This conditioned reaction is a common characteristic of living things. ——Now it seems that the devil is no exception.”
"It is through this method that we can piece together the contents of the letters from the minds of the high-level devils who are completely uncooperative, and then understand their texts. Without the assistance of Ms. Carmilla, I am afraid that this process will still be far away. After saying that, she waved her beard to the chief steward of Sleeping Island to express her gratitude.
"I just... hope I can help Lady Tilly." The latter bit his lip.
These are witches, with diverse abilities but full of limitations... Roland thought to himself that their unique characteristics make each of them impossible to copy. If they lack a certain key ability, they may not be able to wait for hundreds of years. There may not have been witches similar to Carmilla Darry in the past two wars of divine will, but they were probably born at the wrong time. By the time they awakened, the entire situation was already in an unfavorable position, and humans were no longer able to capture living high-level ones. The devil is gone.
Probably based on this, Ersluk focused his strategy on eliminating witches. But... can the value of Ashes, Sylvie and others really be comparable to Taquila in the eyes of the devil? The obelisk requires divine stone veins to build. Once Taqila is occupied, the red mist that is constantly generated will cover the entrance to the Impasse Mountains. By then, the terrifying beasts can easily cross the mountains and invade the hinterlands of the Four Kingdoms. It will undoubtedly be hundreds of times more difficult for humans to drive the devils out of the fertile plains than it is now.
This is also the unanimous view of the General Staff and the Taqilagu Witch.
Why there is such a big deviation in the judgments of both parties, perhaps the clue lies in the letter.
"Then, tell me in detail what you have cracked." Roland said slowly.
…
Because the sentences were separated and paraphrased and then put back together, the content of the letter was incomplete and the reading was a bit choppy, but it was enough for everyone to understand its meaning. As Celine directly reflected the restored sentence in his mind, Roland even couldn't help but have the illusion that the other party was whispering in his ear.
"Lord of the Sky, the decisive battle is coming soon... I am fully prepared, whether it is against the enemy or myself."
"In the past month, I have heard the call of... more than once. The omen is so clear, maybe I will be promoted in this battle..."
"I know this move will bring you criticism, but it will not affect your Western Front plan."
"If successful, the enemy will lose the means they rely on... and we will regain the advantage in the battle."
"...With a tenfold increase in troops, humanity will no longer have a chance to win..."
"But this battle is not without suspense. If I fail..."
"Please regard human beings as an opponent that is evenly matched with my race, and exterminate them with all your strength, even if you give up the bottomless abyss."
"...As long as we can get their inheritance fragments, we still have hope of defeating the Tianhai Realm."
"Finally, please give my regards to the king and Lord Nightmare."
When Ersruk's entire autographed letter was displayed, Roland felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his back.
He finally understood why Phyllis was so eager.
Judging from the results, there is no doubt that the opponent failed - not only did it fail to annihilate the sniper team, it even perished in the hands of Ashes.
But this also means that the situation is led to the second hypothesis.
Although there are still some puzzles, the meaning of the whole sentence seems to be to persuade the tribe to give up the duel with the Tianhai Realm, treat humans as the first-class enemy, attack and destroy them with all their strength?
Damn...what a joke!
Roland suddenly felt a lot of pressure - this was probably the worst news since the war started.
"I'm afraid the development plan of Fertile Plains has to be abandoned." Wendy murmured.
"If the enemy is desperate to press forward with all its strength, it would be too risky to locate residential areas outside the desperate defense line."
"But how to solve their red mist needs?"
"The devil can relieve the pressure on the front line by building an obelisk in Falling Star City."
"But then the red mist won't be able to cover the Fertile Plain, so we can still postpone it until the next Battle of Divine Will. This is no different from the previous plan, right?"
"The difference is that what we have to face next is the entire main force of the devil."
"No..." Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures with solemn faces, Edith suddenly said, "There is something wrong with the content of this letter." ()
