This time, it was Yaze's turn to be shocked. However, after hearing Matthew's words, he finally understood why he seemed to recall something when he saw Millet. It was because he had seen her in some documents. As a famous character on the continent, Li Huailin's information was naturally available to all the forces on the continent. One of the documents mentioned was Li Huailin's pet, the Golden Dragon. This characteristic was quite obvious. Although Li Huailin hadn't admitted it, Yaze felt that it was a little similar. Even so, a Human Duke was actually the heir of the Divine Sword? This was unbelievable.
"Hehe." Li Huailin smiled. This Matthew was really amazing. Li Huailin didn't know if this dog was placed here intentionally or unintentionally. However, whether it was intentional or unintentional, Li Huailin's impression of Matthew had improved a little. It seemed that this guy's intelligence was quite good.
"It seems that I guessed correctly. But Your Highness doesn't seem to be worried," Matthew said.
"Anyway, I don't think you care about my identity." Li Huailin said, "If you cared, you would have said it from the beginning. However, you first expressed your loyalty before revealing my identity. In other words, you aren't interested in my identity. No matter who I am, you will be loyal to me, right?"
"Eh? Is that so? " Yaze turned his head and looked at Matthew strangely. However, Matthew directly lowered his head and said, "Your Highness is right. I am just a little curious about Your Highness' true identity. As long as Your Highness is the heir of the Divine Sword, no matter what race you are or what your identity is, I will be loyal to you."
"Me, me too." Yaze's heart was a little confused. A Human King of the Undead made him a little overwhelmed. However, since his superior had already expressed his loyalty, he naturally responded immediately.
"Previously, I didn't understand why the humans and the Undead suddenly joined forces. Now that I see Her Highness, I understand. The commander of both sides is the same person. That is to say, the previous battle was completely an act to lure the others into sending troops." On the other side, Mattheon spoke up, "This subordinate really admires His Royal Highness' military strategy. He truly deserves to be called the continent's God of War."
"Is that so?" Yaze also came to a realization. If the Duke of Aquitaine was Emperor Wotcha, then the battle between the Humans and the Undead was very strange. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed the Duke's plan to mobilize the Dwarves and the Demons. Now that he thought about it, it seemed like the Dwarves had almost collapsed because of this plan.
"Alright, there's no time for flattery." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "Previously, you didn't want to join directly because you wanted to confirm my identity as the successor, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness. After all, this matter is very important. If I didn't see the sword with my own eyes, I wouldn't have made a decision so easily." On the other side, Mattheon had no intention of hiding anything. "Of course, now that I have completely confirmed Your Highness' identity, I will naturally fulfill all my previous promises."
"In other words, you're going to leave the Demons and join the Undead?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, I hope Your Highness will approve," Mattheon said with his head lowered.
"What about the method you mentioned to defeat the Demons?" Li Huailin asked.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. Of course, this method is also true. Your Highness, please come over here, and I will slowly explain it to you." Mattheon bowed and signaled for Li Huailin to follow him.
Following Mattheon, Li Huailin took two steps to the side and arrived at a nearby laboratory. He discovered that the underground laboratory was quite large, and it was divided into several compartments. Li Huailin guessed that each compartment was used for a different experiment. This room looked even more horrifying than the previous one because there were several corpses lying on the ground next to it. Moreover, their deaths were very tragic. Not only were their bodies deformed, but they also looked like they had been beaten to death. Judging from the corpses' appearance, it seemed like they had fought with each other.
"Your Highness, please look over here," Mattheon said as he walked in front of the corpses and pointed at them.
"I don't understand. What's wrong with these corpses?" Li Huailin asked.
"This is a prop I've been working on recently." On the other side, Matthew picked up a metal item from the corpse and said, "This item can increase all the abilities of the wearer for a short period of time, including strength, speed, endurance, and so on. It can be said to be a very powerful item."
"Oh? I think I've heard of it before, "Li Huailin said.
"In fact, there was an engineer who had the same idea as me. His name was Claus Spintock. Originally, when I started researching this, I planned to research it with him. I even sent someone to invite him to do the research together, but it was destroyed by someone," Mattheon said. Matthesun said, "And the one who destroyed me is the current Emperor of the Human Race, Anthony Murat."
"Huh?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. "Anthony did this kind of thing?"
"Yes. At that time, we finally found Claus Spintock's residence, but he refused to join us. However, he was willing to provide us with some experimental data, so we decided to cooperate with him further. We didn't expect to meet the Emperor of the Human race at that time, Anthony. In the end, both sides fought," Mattheon said.
"Why do I have an impression of what you said …" Li Huailin said.
"There was also a human adventurer with Anthony. This adventurer obstructed our Highlord's plan time and time again. What … what was his name again?" Yaze said. "I can't remember his name."
"Anthony? Adventurer? Isn't that me? " Li Huailin stared blankly for a moment, then he recalled that he really did meet this Engineer in the Bandit Encampment. Then, this guy was taken away by Anthony, and he didn't know what happened to him.
"This human adventurer is really despicable. He obstructed me time and time again. When I see him again, I will definitely get my revenge," Yaze said.
"…" Li Huailin was speechless. Speaking of which, he was standing right in front of Yaze. However, he was still wearing his hood. If he took off the key, Yaze would probably notice it immediately.
"Anyway, let's not talk about that for now," Mattheon said. On the other side, Matthesun said, "In short, this is the device. However, this device is not very complete. It can be said that it still has some flaws."
"What flaws?" Li Huailin asked.
"This device uses dark energy to temporarily increase the user's strength. However, the amount of energy injected into it can't be too much. If it exceeds the limit, there will be problems. For example, the user's body will mutate, or the user will go berserk and constantly attack the surroundings without distinguishing between friend and foe. That's why the experimenters died," Mattheon explained.
"In other words, if it's not used properly, it will have an effect similar to Berserk?" Li Huailin asked.
"It's very similar to the Berserk effect of a Berserker, but it's not that it's not used properly. It's just that with our current technology, we can't produce a stable energy output. I've experimented many times. At first, the output was smooth. However, if we use it for a long time, we will overuse it. The best case scenario is that it won't last more than a week. In other words, this thing isn't completely safe to use," Mattheon said.
"What does this have to do with defeating the Demons?" Li Huailin asked. "Are you going to equip the Undead army that is fighting against the Demons with this device? Indeed, it can improve the Undead's strength, but as you said, this thing isn't stable. "
"Your Highness, that's not what I meant," Mattheon said. "In fact, I've already started working on it before this."
Matthew walked a couple of steps forward and stood in front of Li Huailin before saying, "Before this battle, I've already offered this experimental product to the king of demons, Bezera. Of course, I didn't say that it was an experimental product. Instead, I said that it had been successfully tested. Of course, Bezera also found someone to test it on the spot. As I've said, at the initial stage, this thing didn't have any negative effect at all. Of course, the result of the experiment was very good. Bezera really agreed with me. Therefore, I immediately offered about 4000 such props..."
"In other words, the Demons are using this thing now?" Li Huailin asked. He instantly understood what Mattheon meant. "You're saying that you're going to make the 4,000 Demons go berserk and take the opportunity to defeat the Demons?"
"Yes, Your Highness. This is my plan," Mattheon said. "Now that I'm still on the Demons' side, I'll propose to Baizera to send troops. I think Baizera will agree. Once my troops have assembled, I'll use the excuse of debugging to increase the output of this device so that the berserk effect will come sooner. Then, the Undead and the Demons will suddenly have a decisive battle. During the decisive battle, the Demons will naturally use this device. Then … hehe … Of course, at that time, I'll suddenly switch sides and immediately attack the rear of the Demons. This way, the Demons will be defeated no matter what."
"My Lord is indeed amazing," Yaze immediately praised.
"That's a good plan …" Li Huailin nodded. He couldn't find any flaws in this plan. The only problem was whether Mattheon was truly loyal to him.
