"You should also prepare for the daylight baptism ceremony. I and Mrs. Richard, and I have to discuss the Boer tauren, please allow us to retire first. [m Rapid Update]" Mourinho asked the surrounding people The fallen elves stroked their chests and saluted, and Lao Liu also stood up, squirting a circle. He also had a lot to ask the old swan.
"The meal is eaten one bite at a time. As long as the Falling Ceremony is successful, everything else is easy to handle." Mother You Yue'er stood up: "I will send two distinguished guests to the post."
"No need." Liu Zhensha and Mourinho declined together, and the host and guest left with joy.
Two priests with a relationship of teacher and inheritance, each carrying ghosts, arm in arm, came to the moat at the gate of Mozobrada, the two bodyguards scattered into a circle, separating the outside world, and sat side by side. . Liu shocked a pill of mud and splashed it into the river water, daring to make a small ripple, which attracted the peep of a piranha.
Master Mourinho popped a stone between his fingers, smashing the sharp jagged teeth of the piranha into pieces. As soon as the red blood leaked out, the river water immediately rolled like a pot, and a group of piranhas cut the The unlucky kind finished eating in an instant, and the sound of the friction of sharp teeth and bones made the scalp numb.
"Good work." Liu shocked and praised: "I really didn't know before."
"It's been many years." Mourinho smiled: "Seeing you who is full of energy, I think of me when I was young."
"When the adults were young, they must have been the Young Master Pianpian of Shengxue in white." Liu Zhensha's words were full of envy.
"Young people should have a fixed goal, and great people should have great ambitions." Mourinho glanced at Liu shocked: "Can you tell me, Richard, what is your ideal?"
"Eat and wait for death." Liu shocked.
"Let's talk frankly, don't talk nonsense with me." Mourinho frowned.
"I really only have this ideal." Liu shocked and smiled sadly, knowing that most people would not believe this. But in fact, he is indeed a little deflated, and he has come this far. It should have evolved during an unyielding struggle with destiny. If it hadn't been for Prince Richard's aggressiveness at the beginning, Liu Zhensha would have been in trouble now.
"The kingdom is very divided in power right now. Although Bimon has the best combination of combatants. But it has never been able to reproduce the glorious history of the past." The Swan priest no longer and Liu Zhenshocked around the problem of ambition, and fell into retrospect leisurely.
"There are too many loopholes in the current system of the Bimeng kingdom, and racial discrimination is also quite serious. If the army is composed solely of a strong minority of people. Never want to reproduce the past glory, let alone the current Bimeng There is also a lack of magicians, the loss of the Bode Air Force, and the bureaucratic structure is very divided. Take the second defense of Fei Lengcui as an example. If it is not for my own strength, I am waiting for the assistance of the Northeast Army, I am afraid it is already I can’t find the bones anymore.
Liu shocked and lit a cigar, spouting five or six circles of smoke, and then spit out a long puff of smoke, piercing all of these circles with one arrow:
Every hereditary nobleman The vassal tribes are also pinched to death. Take the Haus tribe of the Bear tribe, the hippos should be the best navy, but the royal family has not yet discovered this potential. Perhaps the number of hippos poets is not There are not many. Such fighters may be finished in a wave of magic bombardment on the battlefield, but they use a small group of troops and use unexpected infiltration to carry out key attacks. Such a small but capable samurai definitely has unexpected effects."
"You seem to be very proficient in fighting with a small number of troops. I have studied your battle examples." Mourinho looked at Liu Shock with an expression of praise that could not be concealed.
"Where, I have relied on equipment and location for several wars, and this has turned the situation around." Liu shocked and smiled.
"It has to be said that our King is still very talented. He wants to take back the rights of the temple. It may be the first step to concentrate the rights. If this step is successful, the next step is to take back the rights of the elders. , To concentrate all power on the king’s power.
Mourinho turned the golden flute in his hand and shook his head with a smile:
To do so, in fact, is completely imitating the monarchy centralized system of the human kingdom. In that case, order and prohibition are definitely better than It's better for us than Meng to have to oversaw something like this now."
"It's difficult. If you want to take back the right to the temple, first he has to run into you." Liu shocked and laughed.
"It's not just me." Mourinho also smiled: "You don't understand the political trends within the kingdom. Let me explain briefly to you. Take the Fox Fox tribe in the Northeast Province as an example. The number has always been among the best in the kingdom. They are evenly distributed to the major legions and temples. Among them, every high priest is almost loyal to a certain wealthy family. This is not only limited to their fox clan, there are many fox clan It is also common for sacrificial rituals to be attached to foreign giants. And every wealthy and distinguished family will be attached to one of the three major powers of the Elder’s House, the royal family and the temple. Among them, the open and secret battles of the two royal families of Rhine and Tago have been the main theme. It is almost impossible for a sacrificial or warrior who does not depend on a powerful force to be promoted. It is a very simple matter to exclude a small person without any backing forces."
"I deeply feel the same way. Prince Richard dealt with me like this at the beginning, but I never seem to join any forces. I admire myself here." Liu shocked and remembered the sad past.
"You have now represented a powerful force. It is someone else who wants to join you and accept your asylum under your wings." Lord Master's words made Liu Shock almost choking himself: "But I have to admit, At the same time, you are also of the Northeast system. At least from the perspective of the kingdom, you belong to the faction of Wei'an Great Shaman Qidan in the Northeast Province. Although I know that Qi Dan has no binding force on you at all, I know Wei'an. Does the great shaman belong to which faction?"
"The red high priest Blatt." Liu Shock heard a little.
"Yes, Lord Blatt of the Tago tribe, the representative of theocracy in the world, and also the nail in the eyes of the Rhine tribe and His Majesty King Greek Thrall." Master Mourinho stretched out his hand and hooked the cigar that shocked Liu. With his finger, Liu shock took out a cigar and threw it to the master priest.
"Master Qi Dan is the chief sacrificial priest of the'Serving Army Corps'. [m Rapid Update]" Master Mourinho patted Liu shockingly after putting the cigar on fire. Thank you very politely.
"Being a tiger?" Liu shook his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "It is said that the'Worship Legion' is the private army of the Tago clan. The Goblin and strong of the Tago clan are first elected to this legion, and then by the Imperial Forest Army.' I thought it was made out of thin air to make the selection of the whip of the of war. I didn't expect it to happen."
"The six hereditary nobles, almost every family has a private army, or it should be said, should be called the Family Guard." Mourinho smiled: "This is not news. The Family Guard is just made up of family elites. The scale will not be very large, and being absorbed into the Family Guard means that it is a direct line of the direct line, and both prosperity and loss will be lost."
"That is to be loyal to a family rather than a country, and the interests of the family will always be higher than the interests of the country." Liu shocked the soot. Said contemptuously: "Although I am a person who eats and waits for death. But I have never considered a person who ignores the interests of the entire country and the nation."
"In the main sense, everyone understands the truth of what you said. It's just that when it is implemented, the standard measurement is not uniform. For example, you are a family member. When you are in difficulty, the state will not advise you. Give a helping hand, and the family will, so when choosing, most people will still choose to maintain the family rather than the country." Mourinho sneered: "There are so many problems within the Kingdom of Bimon. Sometimes, you can’t. Just one righteousness covers everything, righteousness cannot fill your belly, cannot bring you leather clothing in snowy weather, nor can you send you good medicine in case of illness. Living in this world, many times, reality and harsh slogans cannot be used. The last equal sign, this is the sadness of our time."
"I'm better to be a little nobleman. After the change of office next year, the temple will send me this war sacrifice into the army to serve. I don't have any pursuits. It's just a day of chaos. Anyway, the frequency of wars is not very high. High." Liu was shocked and stretched out comfortably. He didn't have the slightest affection for these kingdom politics, so he was thinking about how to talk to Mourinho and chat with this old guy. There is no sense of accomplishment.
"Human beings who left the Kingdom of Beamon back then were probably tired of the crony disputes between the upper aristocrats, and the lower Beamon didn't have any early days, no matter how good it was. How many years have passed, except when Medusa was still there. , It has always been the Rhine race and the Tago fighting for the throne, other races, there is no chance to get a side." Mourinho took a sigh of cigar and was choked with coughs: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Only the tiger and lion people? Why not be the snail people of the Boer tribe? Why not be the funny hippo poet?"
"This is no way. To fight for the throne, you must go through the dual test of force and wisdom. Except for these two Beamon races, others are really nothing." Liu Shaking sneered in his heart. Mourinho's words made him Suddenly I thought of a specious possibility-as the hereditary lord of the bird tribe, the swan tribe has now shown a talented and roughly Mourinho. Look at his halo: the legend in the sacrifice, the youngest in history The shaman chief priest, the phoenix priest who arrogantly respects the dragon sacrifice, the news from Drow. In the coming year, this guy is also a hidden martial arts master, and he is also studying a new type of war song—that can be released into magical attacks. War song! What if the research is successful? Ability and ambition are directly proportional. Judging from the overtones of the master priest, he is likely to also want to learn from human beings and play the trick of separating from the kingdom of Bemun to form a country by himself. This possibility is indeed true. It’s very big. Just look at the Medusa he owns. He doesn’t just want to bring the Smy and Ostrich ostriches to stand against each other, but will bring several other races of Bemun to fight for independence. .
But independence means war, and mankind is standing alone. It took a thousand years to fight against the flag and to declare independence, and it had to admit its status as it approached the Kingdom of Beamon with its powerful strength. From this point of view, even if the old swan has this heart, it is estimated that it will never see that day come in this life.
With his current ability, at best, he would listen to the announcements a lot. Or a power institution outside the royal power will strive for a very high position, consolidate its own strength and attract more Bimong races to join, how many years later. It is for his descendants to fulfill this magnificent desire --- this also has a premise, don't have a world war, if there is a turbulent war, the opportunity to fish in troubled waters will come.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are missing. Liu Zhensha smiled secretly in his heart, and there were also peasant uprisings in the history of the Mongolian dynasty, mostly by the Munk people. There was also the possibility of dividing territories. But in the end they all ended in failure. In the end, the entire Munke people took a curve to build a nation. Although it took a long time, after all, they realized their long-cherished wishes in one fell swoop, whether it was an independent nation-building or an uprising. The difficulty of this kind of thing is beyond imagination, even if it is the united and xenophobic Munke, that is, human beings, during the Battle of Hyjal, there were a very small number of the old Munke nobles who still stood on the side of the Bemun Kingdom, and they did not hesitate. Earth body and blood to resist the human army. However, judging from the current national strength of the Bimeng Kingdom, the success rate of doing this is higher than before.
The more Liu Zhenshake thinks about this possibility, the more he thinks the old swan must think so. If he pulls these fallen elves to the Dunau Wasteland, the frequent and complicated relationships among the fallen elves, plus his eloquence and infection Power, driving the tiger and swallowing the sheep, teasing the masses and fighting the masses, it is completely possible to enrich themselves. If the demons invade again and disrupt the structure of the entire continent, he has a good chance to emerge.
Seeing Liu shocked, squinting and staring at him with flickering eyes, Mourinho responded with a smile, smoking a cigar gracefully and calmly.
"Why tell me this?" Liu shocked.
"I hope that all games can live in a fair sky, and at least learn to think about what freedom and democracy are." Mourinho said solemnly, "Although it is very difficult to realize this wish, I hope to have more understanding. and support."
"Everyone has the right to choose. I have always admired you. For me, you can rest assured that I only want to live comfortably with Bea Meng in Fei Leng Cui. As for the fight for power, there will be people with this idea. I have never thought about it." Liu shocked with a wry smile.
"Then that, Boer takin, we are half of us." Mourinho finished his last cigar and flicked the cigarette into the moat.
"That's impossible." Liu shook his head in shock.
"Didn't you say that you don't have the heart to fight for power? Why do you want to master so many powerful races?" The swan chief priest smiled with deep sarcasm.
"Don't forget one of the most basic facts, my esteemed Mourinho, did you know that takins are not willing to leave the ground at all." Liu shocked his face with irony.
"The existence of the Magic Teleportation Array can erect an open gate between the emerald and the underground world, and the fallen elves will no longer be stationed in the underground on a large scale because of the black dragon and the evil eye tyrant. If you guessed it right, you originally wanted to place them on the Karimdor Plain, and you didn’t have any good intentions. Judging from your personality, after all these fallen elves have left, the two-way magic teleportation array will definitely make you clean. Destroyed cleanly, so that even if these fallen elves have passed your magicians, they will never be able to return to the underground world through the magic teleportation array to collect food and mines. For you, the world of righteousness will become Your back garden alone, I guess right?" Mourinho said with a smile: "Don't get excited, you see, I haven't opened you in front of the fallen elves, I still admire you, fallen You don’t know how dangerous the ritual is and how high the sacrifices are! And the large magic teleportation array! God of War is on top, how many high-quality magic materials are needed, how superb alchemy skills are needed, and a magician is needed to instill How much magic power can the fallen elves with a population of three million out of the ground! I really admire you for having such a huge idea, and I am sincerely jealous of your magician resources!"
"You didn't dismantle me, but it's almost like dismantling me. It's a disaster. You brought these guys to my door. How can you tell me to open my face with them?" Liu shocked and sneered.
"I just show the facts to make sense. The right to choose is always held in the hands of the fallen elves, I did not force them to choose. Remember my words Richard, the fallen elves are not stupid either." Mourinho said lightly: " It doesn’t hurt for them to come to the Dunau Wasteland. Relying on the gray dwarf blacksmiths, the supply of weapons throughout the Kingdom of Bemun will have a leap in quality. Isn’t our temple always preparing to protect the Knights Templar? In this case, we have it Priority is given to the supply of goods. Don’t always look at the bad things. This time we are actually a win-win situation. Don’t be afraid of these fallen elves. As long as the Smai clan is successfully deployed, a new province south of the Sanggan River will be formed. The Mai swan is here, and their powerful air force is just a display."
"Yeah, the gray dwarf blacksmith and the elven blacksmith just helped you arm the Smyr army to your teeth. As for the Kingdom of Beamon. Hehe, these guys came to the surface. Without the rich underground veins, the ghosts know whether they will be generous. "Liu Zhenshake squeezed the cigar with his hand, rubbing the tobacco and spilling it in abundance: "I have done a lot of effort. You are good, and you will take all the advantages when you come, and even avenge the gang who want to find the surface elves. Zall and Moore talked about entering the port. In the future, there will be no accidents and you will surely be able to recruit some Elf Archer Druid Jungle Warriors to replenish your manpower resources. You are actually embarrassed to tell me that you want to divide the Takin in half?"
"Richard, Richard! Don't think I don't understand the underground world!" Mourinho let out a cold snort from his nose: "In such a huge world, the metal deposits alone are enough for you to eat. Not to mention the cavemen who can collect food at will. Who doesn’t have your luck? An alchemist and expensive magic materials are so easy to find? Just because I didn’t put your old ties out in front of the fallen elves. Let you set up a magical teleportation formation in our mansion. You should pay this small price! Anyway, we are all Bimeng, and I haven't helped foreigners entrap your vicious thoughts. "
"The Boer takins really don't want to leave the ground. What can I do? You can persuade them to leave, even if you take them away from the magic teleportation array, one of them counts as one." Liu shocked a rogue face: "Let me To help you set up a magical teleportation array that leads to the underground in your mansion, you shouldn't say this request at all. You just killed me, and I can't help you."
"I believe you. Originally, when I came to Mosobrada City, I just wanted to abduct some good things from here. This time I didn't wait for nothing. I said, we both win." Mourinho condensed slightly. After thinking about it, he shook his head, and said unfortunately: "It's good to have a magic teleportation array. These takin warriors, when do you want to send them to the battlefield, that is, the gate, it's really cheap for you."
"The fallen elves will help you catch the druids and forest elves, as well as the hill giants. Based on your ability, it is estimated that others are singing the white face, and you follow behind to sing the red face to gather people's hearts, and you are not at a loss." She said: "The population of Feilengcui is too small. It is destined that I have no room for development and performance, so you should stop jealous of me."
"Humility is not a virtue, dear Richard. It seems that I still looked down at you before. Your ambition is far from being as unbearable as you said. People who have an ambition to dominate the underground continent are far from being mixed. Lord of death." Mourinho stood up and patted the virtual soil on his robe: "Don’t blame me for not reminding you, I hope you can handle the two scourges of the black dragon and the evil eye tyrant. I also hope that in the future In your hands, you can buy some good weapons and equipment."
"Evil eye tyrant and black dragon, I really haven't figured out a way to deal with these two scourges." Liu Zhenshak heard the master priest say this, and suddenly felt a big head: "By the way, I ask you a question. What good belongings are you planning to take away from Zall?"
Liu Zhenshake firmly believed that the master priest would definitely not be without good for staying at Mosobrada for so long.
"It's the Birdwing Ballista. The shamanism I promoted finally influenced a lot of the elves of Mosobrada. Among these devout believers, there happened to be the drow leader of the Birdwing Ballista Group. This was deliberately concealed. There are not many people who know about it.
Master Mourinho was really shocked to Liu:
There are only ten birdwing ballistas in the eight drow main cities, and there are four in Mozobrada. There are so many platforms. This bird wing ballista is a prehistoric giant flea's hamstring as a winding device. It is incompetent, and it seems that my luck is also good... By the way. There are also the two ancient war trees that manipulate the war. Elf, I have just influenced them two days ago. Fortunately, I have been dragged here. Otherwise, I won't be able to meet you..."
Liu Zhenshake can only feel in his heart that he has carried his luck to his grandma's house. In order to covet an ancient tree of war, the old swan was born here and waited until he appeared. This discovery made him really frustrated. According to Liu shocked this kind of obscene thinking guy, Mourinho probably had an affair with these birdwing ballista battalions and the drow elves who manipulated the ancient war tree to take them down. Zall is a matriarchal social structure, and the main posts are all female elves. Otherwise, this handsome old swan preaching shamanism is so radiant.
"Birdwing ballista is indeed a good thing. No wonder you stayed here for so long. This thing is that the shooting range is not easy to control, if it is too far. The serrated moon blade will float. But as long as it is used properly, it is absolutely defensive It's a weapon." Liu Zhenshake said with the eyes of an expert: "I have played a birdwing ballista before, but it was transferred to time and space by the space magician of Dolot, Fran, during the battle of the soil. The speed is relatively slow, but if there is a strong man who is responsible for it. The ancient weapon will have a very overbearing effect by pumping cold shots at close range, and the dragon will have to retreat."
"If these babies are bad, I won't stay here for so long. I don't know if Mister Zall will regret after I leave." Mourinho said to the human magic in the distance. The teacher snapped his fingers, and the magician nodded knowingly, and walked towards the inner city of Mozobrada with another follower, the human swordsman, and seemed to inform Mourinho's planned abduction spirit.
The swan priest turned his head and smiled at Liu shockedly: "The fire magician under my hand is already at the level of a magician. Without this level, there is really no way to use the damn'Return Scroll', otherwise it will be true this time. It's hard to take these babies away, and I still have to envy you. A magic teleportation array is more than anything."
"Divide me a birdwing ballista. I'll study the structure and return it to you." Liu said shockedly. He has a prehistoric giant flea, and Nedved’s longbow has only one flea hamstring drawn. There are five fleas and hamstring sisters who are alone, lonely and empty.
"Research? Haha, this kind of elven weapon is said to be a unique internal gear structure. Even if there are skilled craftsmen, it is impossible to imitate. Moreover, prehistoric giant fleas are not easy to find. I advise you not to think about it. It’s okay to give you a birdwing ballista.
Mourinho looked at Lao Liu for a long time, and smiled generously:
There are a lot of mineral deposits at the bottom, and your Razor Mountain Blacksmith Workshop will produce weapon armor in the future. Just remember that I took care of you today."
Seeing my current strength, even my tone of voice has changed. Liu was shocked and laughed in his heart. I don’t know if the master priest knew that he had the Typhoon Giants to join, Fei Lengcui now has a far beyond conventional military research and development level, and there will be mechanical Gao Cen soon to join, I don’t know. The master priest was still reluctant to give himself a birdwing ballista.
Thousands of calculations, there are always unexpected factors that the swan priest could not calculate. Maybe Mourinho will spend a few more days in the Boer tribe, and he will know the coveted diamond-like price-quality ratio of the Typhon giant. .
What Liu Zhensha finds even more interesting is that if, as Master Puskas said, the place where the dumb moon landed is the Sanggan River, then if he seizes this floating city that can fly in the air, who can threaten in the future To Feilengcui?
At that time, even if Mourinho tried his best to plant the underground elves at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, how could he be able to hold me?
Thinking about this, Liu Zhenshock doesn't think it is a loss. Anyway, the cheap ones can't be accounted for by himself, so it's just that they can be accounted for by the old swan. As for these fallen elves, no matter how many people there are, how can they dare to take the world. Isn’t it possible to fight against a Bimon priest in Bimon’s territory?
Don't forget that Zall will also give away 800-headed double-headed Chimera! With their huge bodies, carrying takin warriors with boomerangs on their backs, even though they are tens of thousands of miles away from the Eagles in terms of long-distance attack and maneuverability, they may not suffer a loss in fixed defense, right? Although magic is not good, but with these Chimera's tyrannical physical power and the takin warrior's whirling blade, positional warfare is definitely an insurmountable fortress, plus the three combinations of Green, Flamingo and Pegasus, even blood The elven batriders all swarmed up, so what?
If the dark elves knew that the air force in the surface world is so weak today, they would have given these two-headed Chimeras to themselves, wondering if they would regret vomiting blood? Liu Zhenshake viciously contemplated the expressions of these dark elves in the future, with a bright smile on his face.
"I should go, I have to take advantage of You Yue'er's mother's absence, and quickly slip my feet." Mourinho's pleasant voice interrupted Liu shocked Anshuang. Liu Zhenhuan followed the gaze of the chief priest and turned to look, and saw four two-headed Chimeras, driven by the elf knights, flapping their huge meat wings, and slowly unloading the four birdwing ballistas from the air with a suspension cable. Placed at the gate of the city, an ancient war tree by the suspension bridge made a huge wooden groan, and the roots and legs of the two five-armed wood whiskers were pulling up the soil like a radish from the soil, and the earthworms and centipedes were wet. The earth crawled around in panic.
Fei Luo, who were chatting in the distance, were shocked. They looked at the ancient war tree that walked like a man in amazement. The elven guards on the city wall looked at the war at the door with a little puzzled. Ancient tree and birdwing ballista.
"I wish you success in participating in the Falling Ceremony!" Mourinho nodded shockedly at Liu, and swiftly jumped onto the suspension bridge.
"Wait a minute!" Liu Zhenshake stretched out his hand and shouted: "Your return scroll magic coordinates must be in the mansion in the southwestern province. Where can I find you to ask for a birdwing ballista! Let's deliver it on site!"
Ten minutes later, Mother You Yue'er's curse shook the earth.
Friendly recommend a new book "Online Games: Ghosts Rampant"
Regarding the old swan, brothers, don’t have any more opinions. I originally planned to create this swan as a hero~EbookFREE.me~ If he is inferior to Liu Shock in intelligence, he is not called Sacrifice to the legend. Of course, although Lao Liu is a little impulsive, he is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. The main thing is that the protagonist of the book is him, and the author is me.
Regarding the space ring, in this book, this is also a trash can and a crane. There will be no long-distance raids in the later period. After all, Lao Liu does not want to fight for the world, so there is no problem of super props.
Regarding the combat effectiveness of the gray dwarves, many brothers questioned why the dwarves were suddenly so powerful. First of all, I want to make it clear that the dwarf warriors at the time were all elite centuries-old warriors. There are characters in the font size, and then, these guys, Mammoth Hippos, are all brawny men with a height of four or five meters. You can imagine a big man with the height of your house with a variable waist and a fight with a short man of 1.2 meters. How hard it is, especially since these dwarves are still playing the crowded tactics. As for those rookie mastiffs, they can't be blamed just on the battlefield.
As for the heavy casualties of the Medusa fighters, that is nothing else. I can only blame them for not being able to resist. As a mercenary, you should have your own consciousness. Without diamonds, you should have some porcelain work.
Today’s three chapters are updated. I wonder if you can forgive me for my mistakes a few days ago? I stayed up all day and night.
