Chapter 143
Soon, they found the Queen in the largest magic workshop in the settlement.
At this time, she was sitting with the chief magician of the night elves, studying the drawings of rifles and sniper rifles that Lulin gave them.
Seeing Lulin and others coming, the Queen seemed to immediately understand what to talk about next. She was not as unreliable as usual. She took everyone to a closed reception room and asked with a smile: "It seems that our little girl is finally going to give an account to the unreliable sister you?"
Hearing this, Si Li actually blushed a little, but deliberately pretended to be calm and told the Queen about the current situation.
Although the Queen wanted to tease Si Li again, as expected, the night elves were night elves after all. When it came to the matter of the Nether Church, they could not remain calm at all.
Her attention quickly focused on the plan and she listened very seriously.
But at the end, the Queen frowned.
"In other words, the task you assigned to me is to maintain the portal for you?"
She didn't seem very satisfied with this arrangement.
After all, this means that she can't actually participate in the battle in person.
"No way, sister Ni, this time the teleportation array is to provide the entire tribe's army and the reinforcements of the Tianri Church for back and forth transmission, and it may be attacked by the reinforcements of the Holy Church during the evacuation. This is something that no one else can do except you who are protected by the Moon Goddess," Si Li said helplessly, "I have also asked the great wizards, their magic power requires at least three people to complete this kind of thing, and they may not be as stable as you."
"Well... it makes sense, but if I can't go, this battle may not be stable," the queen said with a frown.
"Ah? No way? With the king's husband leading the team, we still have so many great wizards to take action, and even the old master of the Tianri Church will support us, can we still not deal with the lingering Netherworld Church?" Si Li seemed unconvinced.
"It's just that the Nether Cult, which is lingering on now, is naturally easy to deal with," the Night Elf Queen frowned, "but the problem is... you may not only have to deal with the current Nether Cult, but also the shadow of the Nether Cult in the past."
Chapter 236 But it's not easy to report, but it doesn't mean you can't report
As for why the Nether Cult was not destroyed back then, many people thought that it was the Holy Church that saved them.
But in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that they were far away from the Holy Church at the time. How could the Holy Church's reinforcements just happen to run here by coincidence and save them just when the Nether Cult was about to be annihilated?
What really happened that year was that the night elves' final concentrated attack did not actually break the final defense line of the Nether Cult.
On the contrary, they suffered heavy losses and the battlefield was in a stalemate for a while, which gave the Nether Cult the opportunity to seek refuge from the Holy Church.
However, the entire night elf tribe was in war for a long time at that time, and they urgently needed a thorough victory to cheer up the whole tribe.
Therefore, the details of this incident were not announced. It was only vaguely stated that the Holy Church rescued the Nether Cult, which was lingering on, and they took back their homeland and won a complete victory.
However, most people who participated in the war still have a thorn in their hearts.
They are still upset about the disastrous defeat of the last attack.
Many warriors held their breath in their hearts for hundreds of years, just to get back the ground they lost.
But they would think so, in fact, in the eyes of the Night Elf Queen, it was completely because they did not know the real reason for the disastrous defeat of the war.
That was the trump card of the Nether Cult. The real core ability of the Nether Crystal was the bottomless black hole at the deepest part of the Nether Beach - the Nether Abyss.
All the believers of the Nether Cult would perform some kind of mysterious ceremony after joining the church.
This ceremony is said to connect them with the Nether Beach, but in fact, it will leave part of their souls in the Nether Abyss.
When they die, their souls will follow the remaining part back to the Nether Abyss, and at the same time, the flames on the Nether Beach that symbolize their lives will also be extinguished at this moment.
At the same time, these souls hidden in the Nether Abyss will also become the last line of defense of the Nether Cult.
When the Nether Cult activates the power of the Nether Abyss, the power of the Nether Beach in the area will quickly dry up, and the Nether Abyss, which has absorbed the power from it, will summon the countless souls in it, condensing into countless "shadows" to form its last line of defense.
These "shadows" cannot leave the vicinity of the Nether Abyss, so they can only be used for defense, and once used, they will completely exhaust the power of the Nether Beach, so the Nether Cult will not use this trick until the end.
But the problem is that the strength gained by its huge limitations and costs is also extremely amazing.
It can even summon the "shadows" of the founders and successive leaders of the Nether Cult. Although their strength is certainly not as strong as when they were alive, they also have the strength of a master.
So many masters appear at the same time, and they are fighting at home, just to protect the last area of the Nether Cult.
The defense line it has built can only be described as terrifying.
Although the Netherworld Cult is certainly not as strong as it was in the past, and the Night Elves' army is stronger and more organized than it was in the past, the Night Elves Queen actually has the confidence to break through this line of defense.
But you have to know that the Netherworld Cult is now under the protection of the Holy Church.
The reason why Si Li planned a blitzkrieg is that she was afraid of the support of the Holy Church.
Once the other party reveals this trump card, it will be easy to sustain a lot of time. Once the support of the Holy Church arrives, they will have no choice but to retreat.
After all, what force in the world can directly confront the Holy Church?
Hearing this, Si Li, who was already full of fighting spirit, suddenly stood there in a daze as if a bucket of cold water was poured on her face.
Because if it is really as the Queen said, then this action will probably be difficult to win.
"But, why didn't Uncle Li mention it?" Si Li asked.
"He..." The Queen supported her cheek, "Back then, many of his brothers died in the last battle. Now, he should be holding his breath in his heart. Even if he knows this, he should want to try it."
"This..." Si Li bit her lip, feeling even more uncomfortable.
Uncle Li held his breath, and so did she.
The death of her parents is inseparable from the Netherworld Church. She, who is familiar with the history of war, hates the Netherworld Church even more.
Originally, she hoped that her plan could wipe out the Netherworld Cult in one fell swoop.
But now, she only felt that the future was bleak...
"Damn it," Si Li covered her face.
Seeing Si Li like this, the queen seemed to be very upset. After a silence, she still spoke to comfort her: "Xiao Li, don't be so depressed. At least we can try. It's not that there is no chance. Even if we can't destroy them, we can make them seriously injured."
"Alas, I understand. This is a rare opportunity. We must give them a hard time," Si Li sighed, "but I am unwilling..."
Accompanied by her long sigh, the room fell silent for a while.
The pre-war mobilization that should have been high morale became lifeless.
Lan Jie looked at Si Li's uncomfortable look. For some reason, he felt that he was also depressed and panicked. He subconsciously looked at his boss.
At this moment, his boss was lying on the sofa, his fingers swiping in the air in front of him, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Lan Jie was puzzled, and he reached out and poked Lu Lin, casting a puzzled look at him.
Lu Lin glanced at him, touched his chin, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "That... I have a question. Although the source of the Nether Abyss is the Nether Crystal, the power it consumes comes from the Nether Beach, right?"
"Yes," the queen nodded, "After all, most of the Philosopher's Stones are not energy sources. This level of magic cannot be achieved by relying solely on its internal energy and the current Nether Lord."
"Then, the power of the Nether Beach is actually composed of the bodies that died in it, right?" Lu Lin continued to ask.
"Yes, most of the systems of the Nether Curse draw nutrients from corpses and souls," the queen nodded.
"If the power of the Nether Beach is emptied or exhausted, that is, the corpses in it are all consumed, then does this spell not work?" Lu Lin continued to ask.
"Of course," the queen nodded again, "but I have to remind you that it is impossible to plunder nutrients from the Nether Beach with ordinary means. The Nether Curse is quite overbearing. Whether it is blood sacrifice or necromancy of other schools, it is difficult to plunder the power of the Nether Beach."
"Well, I know," Lu Lin nodded, "but, what if I can also use the Nether Curse?"
The queen was stunned when she said this.
Then she looked at Lu Lin again and again, and said in an unbelievable tone: "How is it possible? How... Are you a member of the Holy Church before?"
"Uh, no, you must count this. At most, I have been a non-burnable garbage for the Holy Church for half a day," Lu Lin said, "But I do know the Nether Curse. As for how I know it, don't worry about it. Of course, I only know the intermediate and lower content. I don't know the high-level ones."
"Ah? Uh, then it may still be difficult to use it," the queen immediately showed a disappointed look.
"Well, that's generally true," Lu Lin nodded, "but I did think of a way. I'm not sure if it will work, but... once it succeeds, maybe I can really help you get rid of the entire Hades Beach."
Chapter 237 Thank you for leading the way, sir, I'll reward you with a souvenir
For the next two days, Lu Lin stayed in the night elf territory.
The queen prepared an alchemy room for him, and provided him with whatever materials he wanted.
She was even afraid that he couldn't handle it alone, so she asked all the alchemists in the tribe to cooperate with Lu Lin.
Originally, Lu Lin thought that there might not be enough time for him to complete the preparations.
Unexpectedly, with the full support of the night elves, everything he needed was ready within two days.
Not only that, the night elves' army has also been assembled.
On the other hand, they have also seen the situation of the Tianri Cult. The old master can't wait, and the team has been ready.
If it weren't for this matter, he would have taken people back to the church long ago. Now that he has been delayed outside for so long, he is also waiting to finish the work early and go home.
Of course, they couldn't wait to leave, and the Yanfeng Gang couldn't wait to send them away.
Not only did a lot of people eat and drink for free, but they were also the immediate superiors and had to be served well. During this period, the old leader of the Yanfeng Gang was exhausted and just hoped that the Tianri Cult would leave as soon as possible.
Hearing that everyone was finally going to start the war with the people of the Tianri Cult, the old gang leader was so happy that he even offered to help with the pre-war arrangements, including providing logistics transportation and the required sites and roads, and only hoped that Lu Lin and others could finish the work quickly and send his leadership team away as soon as possible.
A day later, the night elves used a large number of magic stones, based on the portal made by Si Li, to expand a giant portal that could support the transfer of the army, and teleported the entire army to the forest outside Ken Emier.
It is said that Si Li had already spent a lot of money to arrange the portal. Although the materials consumed for such a large-scale teleportation this time were not much, the consumption of magic stones could be said to be sky-high.
But the night elves did not care.
Money can be earned again if it is lost, but they must avenge this hatred.
Lu Lin looked at them and couldn't help but sigh.
This kind of action is only the immortal species.
If it were other races, hundreds of years would have passed, and I don't know how many generations had passed. The hatred might still be written in history, but the number of people who can truly experience it will only decrease.
It is not impossible that there will even be a reflective monster that speaks well of the other party.
But the immortal species are different.
They are all a generation that has experienced it.
They understand the weight of this hatred very well.
Their will for revenge has never decayed.
The two armies completed their assembly within a day.
There were some rumors in the city, but they were only in the city.
There were quite a few gangs that were scattered outside, and they inexplicably rushed in after finding human habitation.
When these desperate criminals drove their fancy-dressed treasure earth dragons to find the surrounding woodland, they rushed in and saw the regular army of the tribe staring at them. Lu Lin felt embarrassed just by listening to Si Li talking about that scene.
The result.
They all became fertilizer, and their supplies were also used as military rations.
Of course, this little episode is not the key. The real key is a certain walker of the underworld beach who was soaking in the water.
Since it was already the tenth day, the petrification of the latter's body surface had actually faded, and he might wake up at any time.
Lulin let the earth dragon go out of the city and go to the center of the army formation.
The soundproof and enclosed alchemy room on the back of the earth dragon is good in this respect. If the location is moved, it is difficult for the people inside to feel the environment outside the window if they cannot see it.
In this battle, Jack Zhengyi was left here.
After all, Tiezhu and the two girls are not suitable for participating in this operation, and someone has to take care of them.
Sili's groundhog stew was also left to look after the house.
As for Lulin and Limi, they must go, and Lan Jie was also assigned a task by Lulin.
Sili also followed Lulin to help them communicate with the night elves and the Tianri Cult.
Everything is ready.
Next, we just have to wait for a certain Hades Walker to wake up.
Time passed by minute by minute, and as the night slowly fell, time began to gradually approach the time expected by Lulin.
The atmosphere in the army was a little tense, and the most nervous were actually Sili and the queen herself.
Sili was nervous because their plan was not completely successful before the Hades Walker opened his unique teleportation array.
Although she couldn't think of any other options for the Dark Beach Walker in this situation, she still felt a little nervous when she saw the entire tribe's army gathered here.
If their plan failed, then this would be a big mistake.
The queen was nervous because she had never done this before in order to hijack the Dark Beach Walker's unique teleportation array.
Although theoretically speaking, with her strength, this was not a difficult task, she was still nervous.
