Chapter 1611 Conspiracy

Faced with such a sophisticated conspiracy, Lin really didn't have many ways to crack it. But there was no need for him to shirk the old emperor's request.

Back home, in order to show force, those big countries couldn't just find someone to beat them up, so they could only use military parades. You really have to take advantage of opportunities, and you have to create opportunities if you don’t have opportunities.

The problem that someone has always been that they don't have a good platform to display force, and they don't want to beat people until they can't take care of themselves for a trivial matter. Without enough demonstrations and a large number of victims, the deterrent effect is naturally insufficient.

Think about the famous strong men in the Lost Land, which one is not the result of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones. It is exactly in line with the words of a certain traveler from his hometown: One general's success will lead to the death of thousands.

Twelve years ago, a great duke of the Karlsruhe Empire was poached. That battle really shocked many young people. But such performance alone is not enough to negotiate with the 'Empire'.

Therefore, the old emperor's request was actually like asking a certain magician to prove that he was qualified to negotiate with the empire. And he also thoughtfully provided a platform, a group of people that no one would feel sorry for even if they were beaten to death.

For such an opportunity, even if Lin didn't say that he wanted it, he would not refuse it easily. However, the current situation of human beings is a bit delicate. In addition to the enemies coming across the gate of the abyss, there is also another group of lost indigenous people. So Lin said: "I will deal with the demons and the Lord of the Abyss, there is no problem. But those from the underground world..."

Before the magician could finish speaking, the old emperor said first: "There are people around you who are participating in this war. You should know what will happen to mankind if it falls into the hands of these traitors. So please deal with it together." . I did not ask you to hunt down the people in the underground world and exterminate them. But on the surface, no one stained with human blood should be spared."

What the old emperor was talking about was naturally Ezio's group of children who came from elementary school and established a fraternity. With this group of people here, Lin is certainly no stranger to this war against the abyss. Even if he doesn't take the initiative to ask them for information, some information will automatically flow into his ears.

An evil camp race that comes from the underground world and is dominated by half-orcs. The way they treat human captives is not just about enslaving them. These people are also used as food when they are hungry.

In this kind of thing, from the perspective of an orc, there is nothing wrong with finding something to eat when you are hungry. But from a human perspective, not many people can tolerate being like pigs, cows and sheep, ‘ingredients’ that others slaughter and cook at will.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the old emperor, who is also a human and rules the human empire, to make such a request.

Lin, who emphasized that he was from Earth and not from Lost Earth, actually wanted to push him away. But after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.

If we only target demons, a few or even a fleet of robots might be enough. But coupled with the coalition of evil forces from the underground world that are flowing on the west side of the mountain range, a few fleets cannot catch up with all the enemies in one day.

You must know that among the enemies on the table now, the largest number are not the demons coming from across the border, but the orcs, gray dwarves, etc. that have emerged from the underground world.

The strength of a demon lies in quality, not quantity. Just because the Lord of the Abyss is unstoppable, you can know how terrifying this threat from the Abyss is to the Lost Land.

In order to allow more Lords of the Abyss to pass through that portal, there are not that many ordinary demons who should be able to pass through freely. Because the fully opened Gate of the Abyss still has restrictions on its use.

Every passage of the Abyss Lord will make the portal state unstable. If you want to return to a stable state and continue to communicate between the two worlds, it will take time to recover.

It is precisely because of such restrictions that the demons do not think about overturning the order of the Mysterious Land alone. Instead, they recruit races that have been driven to the underground world by humans and are in the same evil camp, and use this method to strengthen their troops.

What’s interesting is that, looking at it from the side, the evil camp is not of the same mind. Otherwise, some would not have stayed on the battlefield to the north of the Fengdi Mountains, and some would have gone to the west.

The euphemistic name is poor logistical supplies and insufficient food, so some troops must go to other places to raise food and share the pressure.

But with the Lord of the Abyss as the commander-in-chief, would it really be impossible to control this detached army? The reason for not doing this must be due to other considerations. For example, increasing the amount of flesh or soul that can be used for sacrifice.

Regardless of what this army from the underground world has in mind. Since they are on the same side as demons, they cannot blame others for treating them like demons. Not to mention that their actions can be described as cruel and unworthy of sympathy.

Therefore, Lin nodded in agreement to the additional request made by the old emperor.

"As for that!" the old emperor Armin Kazalnia said again. However, this time he saw the obvious irritation on a certain magician's face, which was even higher than the impatience he showed before, so he knew that enough was enough. But he continued:

"Your Excellency once mentioned that the design of the war tower for counterattack should be disclosed to the entire magician community as general knowledge. I believe that those in need will naturally obtain it from the association, and you will also receive additional rewards. .”

This sentence seems to be mentioned casually, and it is a trivial matter, but there is no small thought in it.

Would a real magician like the war tower, a castrated version of the magic tower?

Just as someone has thought before, the ones who are really of great use are the noble lord class. The old emperor thought more clearly that the only people who could use the war tower to change the situation were wealthy enough nobles.

Nobles who are too weak may also be eliminated. Local wealthy businessmen will take advantage of the situation to replace the eliminated nobles. This may seem like a bad thing, but in fact, if you magnify the situation, it may not be bad in the long run.

In any case, the old emperor had no intention of letting go of this invention that could change the current situation in Lost Land. But he didn't want to be at the center of the storm, so he hoped that the magician could make it public.

Anyway, this magician is preparing to do something even more outrageous. When the Towers of the Gate began to be built, no one paid attention to the knowledge of the War Tower, even if this knowledge harmed the interests of the magicians.

Will the magicians settle the two accounts together? The old emperor also understood very well that anyway, one account had to be paid, and two accounts had to be paid, so he simply put things together to save some effort.

Letting this magician come into contact with the magic tower again is enough to ignite the emotions of the entire world. A few more small things that are out of the ordinary will not make the situation worse.

As for the idea of ​​exclusive War Tower knowledge, it seems very attractive, but in fact it is not very necessary. What the old emperor needs now is to disrupt the situation in Lost Land.

The Twin Towers of the Gate will undoubtedly create the biggest waves, while the War Tower can effectively involve the energy of certain noble lords. While everyone is busy occupying territory and consolidating their territory, will they still have the energy to deal with the problems posed by the Twin Towers of Gates?

If these people only focus on the Twin Towers of Gates, their actions in other areas will be slower and others will take the lead. Don't ask these noble lords whether they regret it. Maybe their ancestors will jump out of their coffins and accuse this prodigal son who can't protect his land and family.

The problem with the Twin Towers of the Gate is just a small tacit understanding between everyone, while the War Tower is related to vital interests. It is obvious which noble lord with good brain will choose.

Once the noble group is solved, the troubles of the magician group are equally easy to solve.

The reason why everyone maintains the small tacit understanding that cannot be made public is not because of the coercion of others, but to guard against this magician. Because the disgusting ability to change the world is really scary.

Because most of the chambers of commerce that have access to magic materials either have aristocratic backgrounds or have a background in the Magicians Association. Therefore, it is very easy to block some raw materials for specific people.

But if someone in this small tacit understanding group takes the initiative to break the rules, others can only verbally criticize them, but cannot give any substantial punishment.

Especially when the person breaking it is an empire, then the person who curses has to consider whether he can swallow the accompanying bitter pill after opening his mouth. The majesty of the empire cannot be insulted, and this sentence is not something people say casually.

As far as the empire was concerned, the old emperor's previous protection and the small tacit understanding that was now broken were not written in black and white to regulate anyone's behavior, and could not be used as an excuse to rebuke or make trouble.

If the original idea was to have the Twin Towers of Gates controlled by the empire, perhaps this would violate the agreement between magicians and nobles and lead to substantial retaliation.

But the person who built the tower now is an official magician, he also has the title of Grand Magician, and he has never served in the empire. Even if all the materials for building the tower are provided by the Empire, it does not violate the Magician's Convention. Who can find fault.

The only concern is that if this magician can show enough strength when destroying the evil camp alliance, I believe a lot of troubles will be solved. In the face of overwhelming strength, many people will know how to maintain a humble attitude.

If this magician is unable to demonstrate such ability...there will naturally be corresponding changes in plans.

Even if Lin couldn't guess all of the old emperor's various calculations, he could still guess one or two percent.

Emperor Armin Kazalnia's strategies are all fair and square, and people have to follow his arrangements in order to obtain the greatest benefits. At the same time, the old emperor and his forces will also gain something.

But Lin's advantage is that he is not greedy. He is not entirely motivated by profit when doing things, and sometimes he still prioritizes life-saving. It doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss.

Although I also like to use conspiracy to deal with people, my targets are groups, not individuals. Even if someone is quite sensible and sees through his intentions. But as long as there are profit-driven elements in the group, they can still push the entire group to follow the route they have arranged.

However, when others use the same method to deal with themselves alone, someone thinks that he can avoid the phenomenon of group intelligence, rationally evaluate the pros and cons, and decide things accordingly.

So when faced with the old emperor's last request, Lin didn't agree to it, and just said calmly: "I will consider it."
