Little Khan Duke and his knights joined the battle without stopping. The other envoys who were lucky enough to escape also joined the defensive line built by Roddy after Akasha treated them. It wasn't because of their bravery, but because of Roddy's appearance, the "positional warfare" became much easier than they had imagined.
Erwin and the others could definitely be said to be "practiced" in dealing with a large number of enemies who were charging blindly, and they cooperated very well. The infantry defended, the cavalry held their spears at the back, and the areas on both sides that couldn't be defended used magic to build bunkers. The rest of what they had to do was to repeatedly kill.
Therefore, when the escaped mages regained their senses, they immediately learned from Sylvia and Merlinsera and started to continuously cast magic to build temporary "walls" and "bunkers" to protect the troops. Earth walls and ice walls were erected on the square below the Magic Tower, and the crisis of lacking combat power was immediately solved. As the magic circle on the Magic Tower was repaired, rounds of magic support began to fall from the sky again. The originally stressed soldiers could finally take a breather, and began to rotate the reserve troops.
While all this was happening, Evelyn and Doris were sitting on the stone steps at the back of the defensive line in a daze. With half of the seal removed, they could only move their necks stiffly, and couldn't even stand up. The soldiers who kept running around them didn't realize that they were "tied up", and only thought that they were unable to move because of their injuries.
The troops of Eseka had suffered heavy losses in the battle just now, and had long been separated to an unknown place. Evelyn was almost killed by the "Female Worm", and if it wasn't for Akasha's healing spell, she would probably have died from the pain. When she found out that her life had been saved by Rody's team, she was in a trance. However, when she saw that the situation of the battle had stabilized, she suppressed the grief in her heart and quietly asked Doris what had happened.
The answer she got finally made her realize how terrifying the young man not far away was.
"Everything is a disguise … It's all fake. I can't see through him at all." Doris sounded depressed. She felt that she had wasted all these years. Coupled with the news of Miranda and Jill's death, her mood was extremely low. "He seemed to know more about the plan to infect the murlocs than we do, and he scolded me back then, saying that we were … digging our own graves."
Evelyn was originally distracted by the pain in her calf, but after hearing Doris's words, she was stunned for a moment. She then muttered to herself, "Digging his own grave … Did he know that we would encounter such an attack?"
The deaths of Miranda and Jill had deeply affected the matriarch. She had already realized that the "Children" would never attack them for no reason. So what was the problem?
No matter how he thought about it, it could only be the spell that Miranda cast to expel the murlocs!
She and Doris had learned this spell after receiving a book from the "Royal Magic Temple" in Eiseka. And the one who made them learn this spell was none other than Her Majesty, Queen Talia!
This spell was indeed effective against the murlocs, but it had an unusual attraction to the ferocious "Children." Is this a coincidence? If it's not a coincidence …
The sudden attack of fear made her feel as if needles were pricking her back. Cold sweat almost immediately flowed down her forehead. As soon as this thought popped up in his mind, many unintentional details became strong evidence to support this judgment. Especially the words that Miranda had mentioned when talking about "Her Majesty Talia's reward." As the leaders of several major forces in the country, why would they suddenly gather to participate in such a mission?
Eiseka had never been a country where power was concentrated in the royal family. The distribution of power was similar to that of the Kingdom of Karen. The clans controlled their respective territories, and the king commanded all the matriarchs in name. Evelyn thought about it carefully. If the unexpected factor of "Roddy" hadn't been involved in this incident, then Doris would have left with them, and there was a high chance that she would be surrounded and killed by the "Children"!
If the team was wiped out, what would the situation in the country be like? Who would benefit the most from this?
She would never have thought that Talia, who was almost 15 years younger than her, would have such a vicious mind. But when all the clues were connected, Evelyn suddenly realized that she had made a very stupid mistake …
In politics, one would end up very miserably if they underestimated anyone.
And now, it seemed that Roddy, whom they had originally tried to use … had unexpectedly become their "benefactor" instead!
Fate sometimes liked to play jokes. Evelyn leaned against the cold stone wall somewhat dejectedly. Her eyes were unfocused as she whispered, "Doris, we might not be able to return to Eiseka."
"Will Her Majesty send someone to save us?"
Doris clearly still had fantasies about Her Majesty, but her words made Evelyn laugh bitterly. "Save us? Even if we are lucky enough to return to our country, we will probably die for some inexplicable reason. Miranda and Jill didn't die in an accident … Her Majesty wants us all to die here to achieve her goal! "
Her words made Doris confused, but the latter was not a fool. She understood what she meant after some thought. The bone-chilling cold made Doris panic a little. They had become "abandoned pawns". In front of these forces, they were obviously ignored like garbage.
"Then … what can we do now?"
Doris asked somewhat anxiously. She was afraid of death and absolutely did not want to be left on a dangerous battlefield.
"We have no choice. We must choose a side to rely on. It's either the parliament or the Kingdom of Karen … "
Evelyn also became decisive at this moment. She struggled to move her imprisoned body and moved closer to Doris. "The only thing that can prevent us from being blamed now is the envoy of the Kingdom of Karen!"
Doris nodded repeatedly. She knew that expressing her loyalty to Roddy should be the most urgent matter now. However, when the two of them found each other in the crowd, they were so shocked that they could not close their mouths. Because the chairman of the Lassiman Parliament, Jeremy, was standing beside Roddy at this moment. It was obvious that he was listening to something important. This chairman's expression and manner were extremely serious, but he kept nodding his head in agreement, completely like a magic apprentice being scolded.
The way to deal with the ancient sea monsters was not as simple as bombarding them directly. Roddy did not have time to beat around the bush with Jeremy. He went straight to the point and explained the concept of "parent" and "subsidiary". At the same time, he explained the "battle plan" that he had given.
Combined with what was happening at the moment, Jeremy immediately realized that this was indeed the only feasible plan. He immediately put away his arrogance and seriously memorized everything that Roddy said. He very decisively agreed to Roddy's battle plan, and then said, "I'll go and prepare immediately! It may take ten minutes! The battle plan will be under your command. The parliament will follow your instructions! "
After saying that, he flew to the top of the tower with the "Levitation Spell". Obviously, he had gone to inform the mages at the top of the tower. Roddy was very surprised. He originally thought that the most optimistic situation would be to let the other party accept the "battle plan". He did not expect that the other party would directly give him the command. This was indeed different from the "bureaucratic" rule that he had in mind.
"After all, we are all mages. We know what's important …"
Roddy could not help but sigh that talking to smart people really saved him energy. He turned his head to look at the battlefield, where the battle line was stable, and shouted to Akasha, "Remember to save your magic power! There will be a wave of attack later! "
"No problem!" Akasha waved her hand, and then cast a "Holy Shield" for Neffy, who was beside her. Neffy was not idle at the moment. She was concentrating on controlling the puppet to fight in the front line. With the rechargeable crystal as the energy source, the "endurance" of the puppet type III was very amazing, so Neffy was fighting almost without any magic power consumption. The only thing she needed to do was to occasionally cast a shield for the puppet to protect it.
After confirming that the situation of the battle was temporarily stable, Roddy turned his eyes to the "Mission Panel" in front of him, and found that the description of [Demon Disaster] had changed.
"You bravely decided to face the ancient behemoth from the deep sea, but simple 'courage' can't defeat the enemy. The enemy that is constantly getting stronger is far more terrifying than you think!
You still have a chance to escape, or it will be too late for regrets. "
Mission Completion Requirement: Defeat the ancient behemoth 0/1
Mission Reward: Skills: "Demon Deterrence", "Gaze of Fear", "Sacrifice"
EXP: 4560,000
As Roddy changed his choice, the mission had obviously taken a different path. Compared to the previous reward of only a little more than 10,000 EXP, the difficulty of facing the ancient sea monster had obviously increased by several levels, and the reward was also very shocking. This was because when Roddy glanced at the three skills, he found that they were all "Epic Skills" with purple borders!
[Demon Deterrence]

However, at this time, Roddy was not going to stand there and think about how to use these skills. He closed the interface and rushed to the side of the "Fire Crossbow". He raised his hand and lifted the boxes of "Rechargeable Crystal" down. At the same time, he shouted to Merlinsera who was not far away, "Help me modify the magic circle! We don't have much time left! "
After blasting away a group of merpeople with two big fireballs, Merlinsera turned around and began to rearrange the nodes on the magic circle according to Roddy's request. These were originally the latest weapons and floating magic circles in Elsen City, but now they had changed their nature under Merlinsera's hands. The densely packed Rechargeable Crystal on the nodes looked spectacular.
At this time, Roddy had already turned around and walked straight to Doris and Evelyn who were thinking hard about what to do.
"Lord Roddy, we are willing to pledge our loyalty to you!"
Doris and Evelyn expressed their stance without hesitation. Because they were imprisoned, they could only sit on the ground and bow to Roddy. Roddy was not surprised at all. As long as they were not idiots, they would definitely understand what was going on after being besieged by the "Female Worms". So, he did not waste time and said directly, "You can pledge your loyalty to me. Now, I have a place for you to show your loyalty. If you do as I say, I will accept your loyalty and protect your lives."
"We will do as you say!"
"We will listen to Lord Roddy!"
They knew that they had no other choice at this time, so they immediately agreed. But as soon as they finished speaking, Roddy's request made their eyes widen at the same time.
