Vol 8 Chapter 552: Augustine's decision

Undead cannot breathe, so they do not drown.
But the flood is not a swimming pool, and the lethality is more than simply "drowning" other creatures. The silt, gravel, branches, and even the entire giant tree washed away after the five dammed lakes break the bank make the entire torrent become a huge mixer. . The strong currents carry debris and can tear almost everything that falls into the water.
The water that washes around Trakburg gets deeper and deeper, because the velocity is too fast, but it took five or six meters to accumulate in half an hour. By this time, those undead creatures summoned by the undead mage have basically been scrapped and taken under water, and their low-strength bodies were quickly torn away by the undercurrent. It was at this moment that the skeleton soldiers floated most on the water. "Components".
And those undead who are "woken up" by the dead are still struggling in the water ...
But this struggle was futile. Many undead looked at it just four or five meters away from the shore, but the turbulent undercurrent under the water surface separated them like a wall. They tried to paddle hard and couldn't breathe. There was no air in their lungs, and they were wearing extremely heavy resistance armor, no matter how hard they were, they sank without a doubt after a few minutes of tossing.
The mud at the bottom of the flood and countless impurities hit the body with the same strength as weapon attacks. The exhausted undead were unable to defend at all, and were gradually buried.
The "Fallen Method" caused five countless dammed lakes to drain an innumerable amount of water. Although Roddy's purpose was to kill the undead, obviously he had no means to accurately calculate how much lake water was enough. Therefore, after the entire army of the undead was drowned, the converging water flow still seemed to have no halt, the water level continued to rise, rising from four meters to seven meters, and soon flooded the original gate of Trak City ...
The people inside the castle immediately started to move various supplies from around to block several gates, and most of the population in the city began to move towards the higher inner city. Later, even thousands of people stood to escape the flood. On the inner and outer walls of Trak.
The rise of the water level finally slowed down and stopped after an hour. Thanks to the strength of the wooden gate pouring copper juice, it was enough to flood the city gate more than three meters. It was hardly piled up by seven or eight low-ranking mages and thousands. The supplies were blocked out.
Of course, the water leaking into the city at this time was already knee-deep.
The gradually falling water level relieved Kurka and Dasco. However, looking at the "lake water" that has become a dazzling ocean, Dasco immediately found hundreds of undead soldiers who escaped because they were closer to the shore.
These undead were basically exhausted in the flood. Almost all of them were lying on the ground after going ashore. The few who could stand and looked around blankly: Custer was defeated by the mountain. It was a long time ago that they fleeed to an unknown place, so the soldiers who lost their backbone were completely "abandoned."
Dasco was relentless and immediately sent a signal to the "Awakener" troops hiding in the distance. His command was only one: kill all surviving undead soldiers!
The "Awakener" cavalry who saved their combat power immediately began to make up for the knife and harvest. With their clear and remnants like this, even the undead who climbed out from the bottom of the flood could not escape death.
However, compared to these hacked undead, those bodies that have been buried forever at the bottom of the lake will probably see the sun again after a few years ...
In active service, only 3,200 people from the main force of 20,000 undead fled. The summoned 80,000 undead and over 16,000 soldiers were all covered in the flood!
For the surviving humans such as The Awakener and Kulka, this battle completely reversed their passive situation, and it can even be said that they laid an exceptionally solid foundation for their future survival in Tasman.
A total of 40,000 undead troops were directly halved, and the morale blow was not mentioned for the time being. As long as the nobles of the parliament had normal brains, the remaining 20,000 were 99% of the trouble of not sending troops to find "rebels."
As for how the Tasmanian parliament will deal with the "rebels" ... I am afraid that the biggest possibility is "appeasement", because Augustine must first settle the controversy of the aristocratic parliament, and then play with the old bones to determine whether the remaining 20,000 troops will go to Karen. ...
In summary, this is a big victory that has completely changed the Tasman pattern.
With regard to the results of these abyss, Kulka, who has not had deep political experience, has not yet noticed that Dasco, who betrayed his own class, only has vague judgments. The Dragons, who are accustomed to overlooking the continental pattern, are more genuine than anyone else. As a result, they increasingly recognized Roddy's next arrangement, and even couldn't wait to return to the village where Teflin was located, and began the next preparation.
On the other hand, Roddy looked at the experience value of more than 3 million and smiled. Not only did he gain a large amount of experience, all the soldiers and mages participating in the task shared the improvement brought by this victory, and the average advanced level jumped directly. Seventh level up!
In terms of strength, this is a qualitative transformation. If they are allowed to change the level of their armed forces, the combat effectiveness is almost doubled!
And Rody's [Taskbar] also updated the words:
[Judgment of the Bone Throne]
"You thwarted Augustin's plan with unexpected tricks! But this does not mean the end, but the beginning of a real nightmare!"
The task reward column has been changed, and the experience reward for the entire task has suddenly increased from 2.17 million to 4.55 million. This must be related to killing the undead army yourself, but the task displayed by the "orange" font suddenly turned into a sudden change. Crimson.
This means that the task is "difficult to complete".
However, Roddy now doesn't care about the so-called difficulty at all. His mouth is tilted, his rain cape is tightened, and he flew to the village with Melinthera ...
There, he had one last task left in the trip.
In the middle of the night in Oldman's study, Augustine was frowning at his desk.
Five days have passed since Yugeza lost contact. Augustine is almost certain that there is something wrong with the other party, but he has no way of judging what happened. As a fascinating line of his own, Yugeza naturally holds a lot of good things at the bottom of the box, and his soul fire has maintained a certain connection with himself: once Yugeza is fatally attacked, this connection will provide a trace of Augustine clue.
But now that Yugza wasn't dead, he didn't even have that clue.
Because the blood of the last "xenogeneity" had been exhausted, the "big track" to locate Tevlin could not be used a second time, and now he could not confirm the position of Tevlin. For Augustine, there seems to be no other way than waiting.
Although he has enough powerful knights, powerful wizards who specialize in different spells, and resourceful counselors, only this matter is something that everyone can't participate in ...
But the lab was hacked and the experimental notes were viewed. Augustine had realized that his long-term confidential experiments had probably been leaked. However, the overall experiment has entered the final verification step, and it can be completed with a
kick in the door
. Instead of worrying about whether someone comes to the door, Augustine wants to complete the entire experiment as soon as possible to directly achieve his own goal.
He didn't want to send another hand to look for it, because that would likely lead to the same result as Yugeza. If you can find it in person, whether the council will do anything for the time being, it is really inefficient but Tefflin just changed positions casually, and if you go by yourself, you will be no different from a blind cat killing a rat.
"Do you want to gamble ..."
Wanting to reconfirm Teflin's position, Augustine now has only one way left. He stared involuntarily at the torch on the desk ...
"Book of Demon", which is what Augustine calls it.
At the same time that the "avatar" was destroyed, he also received the message that Roddy was a "hunting hunter". Knowing what "slayer hunter" means, Augustin immediately accelerated his research on this book, and it was through deciphering and researching the content of the book that he had almost completed the law circle now.
The content of this book is obscure and profound, even if it is Augustine's natural talent, and it is very difficult to read most of them, but the hard research also allows him to gradually master the devil's magic system. If the theory is correct, he can force the cast. A detection spell called "Awakening the Demon" to find all creatures with demonic blood.
Teflin is one of them.
But this spell is an unfinished version, the key of which has not yet been deciphered. If you want to release it forcibly, even with the level and strength of Augustine, you will have to pay a small price.
So after hesitating again and again, he finally looked away from the book cover.
"Wait another day."
Augustin said to himself silently, but at this moment, suddenly the figure who broke into the outside court made him frown. At midnight, no soldier should report information, but apparently there was an emergency at this time. There was a sudden ominous hunch in Augustin's heart, and he stood up and read it immediately after the attendant handed the letter to himself ...
The next moment, the profound emperor who had never been a city slammed his fist on the desk beside him!
"Oh!"
The fierce magic wave was rippling, and the entire desk was transformed into strips of fiber powder under the shock. Everything in the study shook violently, and the guard kneeling in front of Augustine was shaken out by the shock and fell on the spot. Unconscious on the ground ...
Augustine hasn't been so angry for many years, but the news in the letter made him anxious to even out Odmanius: 20,000 elite undead, 80,000 undead, and more than 3,000 escaped!
Isn't this teasing me?
Agitated, Augustine did not lose his mind. Instead, after weighing the pros and cons of the political situation quickly, he made up his mind. After the screen retreated, ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Augustine picked up the black book, and drew the hexagonal mark that belongs to the devil with magic to start building a circle.
Each detail was continuously completed. Augustine, who was the first to try to cast a spell, went all out, mobilizing all the magic to start singing the obscure spell, and at the same time abruptly cut off his little finger, as a sacrifice to maintain the entire spell!
With a buzz, an obscure wave suddenly swept out, but one of the details was due to the missing part of the rune structure, which caused the spell to collapse on the spot after maintaining for two seconds!
"cough!"
A fierce magic backlash caused Augustine to cough, and took three steps back. His face seemed to be rapidly aging for more than ten years, but he still supported the backbite with strong magic.
This was an unsuccessful cast. Although it ultimately failed, the short-lasting two-second wave had already allowed Augustine to glean too much information he did not know.
"It turns out ... here."
The Tasman monarch wiped a black-red blood on the corner of his mouth, showing a weird smile.
