Worse than the wilderness.
Because it can really be said that "there is nothing".
The Witch King might be able to withstand it, but obviously not all of their followers have such strong physiques and vitality, so for many years, the exiles' forces have been struggling in poverty and dire straits.
In a word, it is not a place for people to stay.
If they were exiled to such a hellhole, they would definitely be thinking about "counterattacking the mainland" all the time.
But for so many years, the Witch Kings have not launched a formal "comprehensive" counterattack, which makes people wonder...
Chapter 92: Il's Spy
Have they always been planning to "accumulate strength for a sudden burst of energy", accumulate strength, and wait for the right time to achieve their goal in one fell swoop?
The exiles certainly hadn't been doing nothing all these years. They must have been lurking in the dark, planning the "counterattack"...
Come to think of it, over the past 3,200 years, the number of "Old Ones' Counterattacks" has been few and far between. There was nothing wrong with what they said before. They were just defeated dogs, and the Void Land didn't have any resources to allow them to recuperate. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been like that four hundred years ago, after finally securing a stable spatial channel to Neyr, and then moving around like bandits in a city, practically emptying the Enmini treasury. In the end, the commotion was so loud that mortals noticed something was amiss...
It must be too weak!
Counterattack? They should consider themselves lucky if we don't go and plunder their territory!
A kind of blind arrogance.
But in the case of Rome, the illusion that the remnants of the old times were too weak to challenge us was clearly shattered.
Of course, the Nine-Ring White Tower has not yet figured out that the "Romans" they are currently hostile to and their imaginary enemies, the "remnants of the old days", are not the same group at all.
Of course, they are the same in terms of their identity as "enemies from outside the territory."
They felt a strong threat from the mystery and unknown presented by the Romans, so naturally they would explore up and down.
thoughts and worries about future wars;
Create a suspicion of the seemingly ordinary past.
I believe that during those seemingly peaceful times, the enemy's shadow must have been floating around, laying the groundwork and making arrangements.
So, are there some people and organizations that have been infiltrated by them in the magnificent and glorious Nine-Ring White Tower and the Nine-Ring Heaven?
In the war in which the White Tower overthrew the old ones, on the side of the Witch King, in addition to those diehards who were loyal to the "God", there were also speculators who sat on the fence, wavering forces who were won over, and those who had been secretly colluding with the mortal camp from the beginning and defected to the light.
Moreover, the Witch-King himself is not a monolithic entity. You must know that one of the main reasons for the White Tower Uprising was that a great war broke out between the "Gods" at that time. Two "Gods" even died in this war. The conflict weakened the ability of the Old Ones as a whole to deal with mortal resistance, creating a great opportunity to expel the shadows of the Old Ones and break the Old Ones that bind the law.
In the subsequent wars, even though the Witch King and his subordinate forces had nominally formed an alliance to jointly deal with the challenges of the ants, situations of dragging their feet, failing to help, and even civil wars still occurred frequently.
In order to kill their opponents, they would deliberately sell out the information of their "allies" to the Mortal Alliance, and deliberately not rescue them in order to weaken the strength of their old enemies.
The mages themselves know how to use the enemy's force to their advantage and infiltrate the enemy camp.
Of course, after three thousand years of rest and reflection, their old rivals couldn't possibly be completely unprepared for espionage work, right?
And how many people inside the White Tower have been bewitched and won over by them?
The Zoroastrian Empire, with a population of hundreds of millions, had fallen so silently into enemy hands. To this day, not a single sign of upholding the law or upholding the rules had been raised. It was like a black hole. Did those hundreds of millions of people even know to whom they were now pledging allegiance? Did they know that they were participating in a sinful, blasphemous rebellion against the order of the White Tower and the laws of the Nine Rings?
It's all unknown.
If you say that this situation only happens from the outside in, that will definitely not be convincing.
But it is completely logical to infer that there is a problem within the Nine-Ring White Tower, and that someone among us is colluding with the remnants and collaborating with external enemies, allowing the old forces to infiltrate the Neyr world so smoothly and covertly.
This caused some unease within the Nine Rings White Tower. Although the war had not yet officially spread to the mages' territory, even if a gag order had been issued, the Supreme Council would still be able to
Chapter 429
At the beginning, two eighth-ringed control mages were specially invited to conduct an investigation on every person present at the venue, assisted (and supervised) by hundreds of mid-level mages who were conducting the ceremony.
The purpose is to ensure that no one present is affected by spells of confusion or control.
Of course, this behavior can only be said to be unnecessary. If the remnants of the old times relied on magic to forcibly control the puppets, it would have been exposed within hundreds or thousands of years. If they had the ability to quietly control a large group of core members of the White Tower inner sect for such a long time without being exposed, they should have launched a counterattack long ago.
Magical control is the most brutal and impossible thing. If there really is a traitor, it must be because of interests or because of leverage. In short, there are many reasons for them to turn to their old enemy, and this kind of betrayal is completely "subjective idealism". How can it be detected by magic?
The only way was to have someone else examine their memory, but apart from other considerations, this method was extremely burdensome for both the person being examined and the examiner. Moreover, who among those who could participate in the Supreme Council was not well-dressed, of noble blood, naturally gifted and heroic, and extremely prominent...
Who dares to propose this method of screening out moles?
Maybe even the return of Star Chaser may not be able to achieve this.
If the traitor cannot be found, the atmosphere of suspicion and jealousy will always permeate the inner circle, and no one dares to open up to others easily for fear of being led into trouble.
Therefore, internal screening is imperative, even more important than directly attacking Rome with force. If the internal situation cannot be stabilized, then they have reason to suspect that the status, power and scale of the "insider" must be high when the enemy has made sufficient preparations, otherwise they would not be so arrogant as to go to war with them!
Most likely, they were hoping that the White Tower would take the initiative, make mistakes, be caught in a weakness, and then be attacked from both inside and outside, repeating in one fell swoop how the White Tower defeated the old ones.
Therefore, before a basic result is screened out internally, the Supreme Council has decided not to launch a large-scale attack on the enemy from the extraordinary realm for the time being, but only to carry out some harassment and fighting in the marginal areas (that is, the secular realm).
As for the mortal guardian coalition's eastward expedition... just keep doing it. They're just free cannon fodder pawns after all. Even if it can delay a little longer, it's fine.
The Nine-Ring White Tower must first resolve internal risks, and after ensuring internal stability, it must gather strength and defeat the challenge launched by the coveters to Sky City with lightning speed!
......
However, during this investigation, some special "harvests" were discovered.
Even the Four-Armed Ones didn't expect that the butterfly effect caused by their actions would actually severely harm the very people they "replaced", the "real villain camp" of the Il world, the losers and exiles of the Ancient War, and the "remnants of the old times" as the mages called them.
Chapter 93: The Adventures of the Trio
In a temporary room.
"Have you really decided?"
Marvin leaned against the earthen wall, trying hard to suppress the pain in his tone.
The black sheriff looked miserable at this moment:
His right eye was dark and blind, and the right half of his face was branded with a strange symbol, which was the mark of slavery and also Marvin's most painful shame.
His left hand was wrapped in bandages and hung in front of his chest, and his right leg was also bandaged. The trouser legs were empty and stained with blood.
Two of his ribs were broken, and other parts of his body were covered with abrasions, bruises, scratches and other injuries. It can be said that there was not a single piece of good flesh on Marvin's body... It was hard to say whether this situation was worse than his "original ending".
The person he was talking to was naturally Leon.
It has been nearly half a year since Al last set his sights on the sheriff and police officer (the main and supporting characters). They had long since left the remote town of Ampa in accordance with the plan they had made at the banquet celebrating the end of the war, and embarked on an "adventure" to explore the world, and at the same time, to explore their own path through the truth.
Ampa is located in a very remote area. The people in the town don't have much contact with the outside world. Even the so-called "outside world" is just a few equally remote villages and towns located in the countryside.
By the time the Ampas knew the civil war had ended, the war had actually ended and "Rome" had been established for a short while.
Order is being restored quickly, which is good for "travelers" like Lyon. However, this is only good for the entire group. For individuals, they may still suffer setbacks or even be overturned due to various accidents that occur along the way.
That reporter, Ben, originally Leon had the impression that he was a bit timid and cowardly, always looking a bit nervous, but perhaps the short break in Ampah Town allowed Ben to return to his normal state, and he finally decided to go out on the road of exploration with them - come to think of it, Ben's profession is a reporter, and he also discovered the shocking secrets of the Umbrella Laboratory. With such abilities and psychological qualities, how could he be a timid person?
The reason why he was so nervous and scared in the cell was that you put yourself in his shoes. You discovered a shocking secret, were captured by the enemy, and were locked up in a cell. At the same time, you also knew that there was a two-meter-tall, invulnerable humanoid biochemical weapon chasing you, who could find you and kill you at any time... Leon felt that he would be nervous too.
As for his behavior at the beginning of his journey, it was because he had not yet recovered from his imprisonment, and secondly, “the original world was a game”, “we are all virtual characters in the game”, “now we are
Chapter 430
"I've traveled to an unknown world." Such a series of shocks would make anyone feel uneasy.
If Al hadn't given him a "preemptive shot", Lyon wouldn't be much better off.
Eventually the reporter found his courage, wisdom and professionalism. He knew that staying where he was would only make him hesitate and the final outcome of his life would be to go with the flow. If he was lucky, he would be able to settle down and start a family in Anpa Town without any illness or disaster. In the eyes of the three people, Anpa, which had no water, no electricity, no internet, and no common language and culture, or this huge empire called "Alan", was no different from a primitive tribe. Any normal person would definitely want to go back or find another way.
However, accidents always come quickly, especially when there is an evil and powerful will that treats their "life" as a plaything for fun.
Things like being attacked by wild animals are minor matters.
During the battles and positions, the trio gradually discovered that their bodies seemed to have been strengthened to varying degrees due to "travel through time". The strongest fighter was undoubtedly Leon. If the standards of this world were used to judge the martial arts of mortal warriors, he would be at least a "mid-level knight", and his physical strength and recovery ability were amazing. He was the kind of person who became more courageous as the battle went on. Although they seemed evenly matched, the outcome was actually a foregone conclusion.
This is Al's bad taste. He artificially gave Leon a "protagonist template", showing that he is a cockroach, who can't be killed no matter how hard he tries, and can always burst out of despair and counterattack to complete the counterattack...
Along the way, you fight wild beasts, "demons" and "monsters", encounter robbers and bandits, fight or be captured, and then find a chance to escape...
From a mortal's perspective, the experience can be described as "legendary".
The three of them traveled together, and after a period of exploration, they slowly learned the common language popular in this world called "Il". Although they were not proficient enough, at least most of the daily conversations were no problem.
Then, with great difficulty, we found a big city that symbolizes civilization in the "danger-ridden" wilderness.
A city called Dahan with a population of 100,000.
A more "dramatic" conflict is about to begin.
As the trio had fought their way through the wild, even the one with the weakest physical fitness could be called a qualified "warrior". Because they were new to the area and had the experience of being "lost", they had made quite a name for themselves in the local area. However, after a series of events mixed with various contradictions, drama, love and hate, the "real" accident happened.
This really wasn't something that Al had set up.
His manipulation of the trio's "fate" was mostly either brutal, like catching a wolf from somewhere and throwing it on the road they had to pass, or adding fuel to the fire. For example, a group of horse bandits were about to miss them, and the leader of the horse bandits "suddenly felt" that it would be a good idea to change the direction.
And this time it was a real "accident".
Leon is quite charming and handsome, and Al has given him a slight overall bonus. Even if his lightness is really very light, combined with his own temperament and appearance, he is naturally at least outstanding.
So Leon was chosen, the daughter of a powerful official in Dahan City.
Normally, this is a story about a noblewoman who falls in love with a mysterious and brave adventurer.
However, all this happened in the Alan Empire.
It happens among the fire worshippers.
The consequence of this noblewoman falling in love with Leon is:
She wants to capture Leon and make him his slave.
Aren't travelers respected? Yes, but that's primarily relative to isolated, remote places like the countryside. People welcome those who stay for a while, even if it's free food and lodging, or even just a little rice and flour. Whether sharing the outside world or "borrowing seeds"... the benefits to the villagers far outweigh the costs.
But there is no such atmosphere in the city.
There are so many people coming and going every day, who are you?
Moreover, the Lyon trio themselves had no identity and were "illegal residents", with nothing to prove their noble status. If they were people from the White Tower, they should have contacted the nearest magician as soon as they arrived in the city and then contacted higher-level spellcasters through the other party's channels, and then reported to the White Tower, and provided assistance after confirming their identities.
So the daughter of the noble thought that they might be "foreign fugitives" who had escaped from somewhere, and wanted to capture Leon and take him back to be her plaything. Naturally, the trio would rather die than obey, but they were still outnumbered and were easily captured by the noble guards carrying magic props.
Although Marvin was considered "inferior" or even a slave due to his skin color and ethnicity, his strength was considered somewhat valuable, so he was not treated as a slave at the lowest level. However, this was actually a bad thing. Being a low-level laborer, doing all kinds of physical work, was not tiring at all, but because he was "valuable", the things he experienced were even more torturous...
As for Leon, he was lucky. At least the daughter of the powerful and noble, although her behavior was vile, did not kill him or cripple him. Despite this, Leon still endured the humiliation and was unable to bear the great shame. Finally, one day, the daughter of the powerful and noble complained to her best friend, who was also a daughter of the noble:
She felt that although Leon was excellent, he would eventually age. Instead of waiting until he was old and frail and unable to serve her, it would be better to find a way to "save" him in advance so that she could accompany him forever, even into the grave.
The "preservation" she mentioned refers to separating the small and large Lyons and "pickle" them in a special way.
Chapter 431
, so that no matter what happens to Leon himself, Little Leon can use it for a long time.
What man isn't afraid of this?
Especially when I am at the mercy of others, my brother may leave me at any time.
This accelerated the "freedom" operation that Lyon had already planned.
After being humiliated and played with for such a period of time, his status has been somewhat elevated because of his "master's favor", and he can now contact Marvin and others.
Finally the three decided to give it a try, freedom or death, freedom~~~!!!
After a thrilling, heroic, and ambitious operation, the outcome is what it is now...
There are only two people left in the trio.
Marvin is crippled and doesn't know how long he has left to live.
Only the strongest Leon is currently covered in injuries, but there is no particularly serious problem. With his uncanny recovery ability, he will probably be back to his best after resting for a day or two.
The two are now resting in a forgotten livestock shed in the wild.
They all knew one thing: "I (Marvin) won't live long."
Leon, on the other hand, has to carry with him a heart full of rage, the death and anger of his two companions who came to the other world together, to explore the truth that seems to be revealed in the north.
Chapter 94: Chase
Lyon sorted the herbs, rolled them into a ball, clamped them between two branches, lit them at the fire, and waved them.
Wisps of green smoke filled the air, smelling fragrant and making people feel sleepy.
