In contrast to the joyous atmosphere of the Dwarf Kingdom, the palace of the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs was overcast at the moment.
"Why! Why did the Void Mask suddenly appear? And he's even sleeping there … What is he thinking! " Dyke Sproing felt that he was about to explode. He could only vent some of the depression in his chest by shouting and yelling to calm himself down a little, so that he wouldn't explode into pieces with a 'bang'.
He roared for a while and stared angrily at the intelligence chief. "Why didn't you get any news before? I don't expect you to be able to monitor a god, but in the reports you give me every day about the movements of the Republic of Northwest and the Church of the Void Mask, why didn't there be any clues? I remember that at most ten days ago, you just analyzed that the relationship between the Void Mask and the Orcs was not good. The Orcs helped the dwarves this time, maybe because they found that the Void Mask was trying to rope in the dwarves and wanted to stop this … Then please tell me, why did the Void Mask come over and help the dwarves and Orcs? "
The intelligence chief was a middle-aged man with a round face. At the moment, he was sweating profusely, as if the fat in his fat had been squeezed out. Because the distance was relatively close, King Dyke's roaring spittle had already sprayed on his face, but he did not dare to raise his hand to wipe it. He just looked nervous and smiled bitterly.
He didn't even dare to defend himself, and could only obediently accept the storm of angry rebukes.
King Dyke's personal strength was not high, only at the intermediate level. After he roared for about half an hour, he was finally a little tired and stopped. He looked coldly at the intelligence chief, waiting for the other party's answer.
Until then, the intelligence chief said with a bitter face, "The Void Mask has always been unreliable and can be said to do whatever he wants. Many times, he does things without informing his subordinates at all. I don't know what he's thinking, but I can guarantee that everyone in the Church of the Void Mask and the Republic of Northwest absolutely did not know that he would come to help the dwarves and Orcs. "
This was actually not true, at least Easter knew.
But … could the spies of the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs get any information from Easter?
Hehe.
They had to find a way to get into the intelligence personnel training center and see Easter first!
Of course, King Dyke certainly did not know these things. He felt that what the intelligence chief said was very reasonable — the Void Mask did not do things according to common sense, which was well known.
After all, he was a jellyfish.
You could analyze a human's thinking pattern, an orc's thinking pattern, a magical beast's thinking pattern, or even a demon's thinking pattern, but could you analyze a jellyfish's thinking pattern?
Who had ever heard that jellyfish could think?
In the past, there were mages and druids who studied all kinds of animals in the world. The specific research process was no longer known, but they finally made a list of all the animals in the world. On the intelligence scale, legendary creatures such as dragons had the highest intelligence. Intelligent species such as humans and orcs were considered to have higher intelligence. Ordinary magical beasts were slightly lower. Intelligent animals such as apes and monkeys were in the middle. Below them were cats and dogs, followed by birds and some large fish, and finally, small fish and shrimp.
As for the jellyfish … it was the same as ordinary insects, classified as a species with "no intelligence." Unless there was a mutation, these species had no intelligence at all. They only had the simplest instincts.
Since the appearance of the Void Mask, many people had begun to study jellyfish. Naturally, some of them had tried to improve the intelligence of jellyfish, trying to raise it to the level of intelligence, so as to study its behavior patterns.
Unfortunately, up until now, these studies had not yielded any decent results.
King Decker naturally knew about these things. So he also understood that to guess the thoughts of the Void Mask was really … more difficult than reaching the sky. Reaching the sky could at least be attempted with magic. If the level of magic was high, it was not impossible. But to guess the thoughts of a jellyfish … Alas!
In fact, he was just venting his anger at the head of intelligence. He did not expect the other party to give him a valuable answer.
"Things have already happened. We'd better think about how to deal with it." At this time, the only person who could still remain calm was the chief mage. His eyes were also filled with worry, but compared to the king and the ministers, he was much better. "In fact, this matter is not without benefits for us. With the Void Mask blocking the way, our army can't move forward. Naturally, we can't fight this battle — without fighting, we can avoid a lot of risks."
As he said this, he looked at King Decker.
King Decker naturally knew what he meant — even if they could get help from the Mifata Federation, they still did not have the confidence to win this battle. At most, they had a better chance of winning. But for this "better" chance of winning, they had to pay a huge price, and it was not worth it.
Now that the Void Mask was between the two forces, the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs could take advantage of this and not have to fight this uncertain battle. It was not necessarily a bad thing.
But … thinking of the price that had been spent, he could not help but frown again.
"The Void Mask … Why didn't he come earlier!" he said angrily. "If he had come ten days earlier, how good would that have been!"
Yes, ten days earlier, he would have directly given up, and he would not have to spend a huge price to win over the Mifata Federation.
Now that the Void Mask had come, the battle could not be fought. But the Mifata Federation had already made a declaration, which meant that they had fulfilled the agreement. What they had given before definitely could not be taken back.
He changed his mind, and his eyes lit up. He asked in a low voice, "Do you think … if I insist on fighting now, will it work?"
The ministers heard this and their faces turned pale. They hurriedly persuaded him to give up this unreliable idea. Only the chief mage looked thoughtful and lowered his head to think carefully.
King Decker did not pay attention to the ministers' persuasion. He just looked at the chief mage, waiting for his reply.
After a long time, the chief mage raised his head and sighed softly.
"I'm afraid it will not be easy," he said. "Those guys are also very shrewd!"
"You taught me before that there are no loyal people in the world, nor are there any shrewd people. As long as the temptation is big enough, anyone will lose their mind, even the gods are no exception."
The chief mage nodded. "But the temptation we can offer is not big enough."
"If it's not big enough, we can add more!" King Decker's eyes flashed with a hint of determination. "No matter what, if we can achieve that goal, it can be considered acceptable."
The chief mage pondered again. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter … might as well ask for instructions."
Instructions? Who else would the king ask for instructions from?
Naturally from the gods.
King Decker was stunned at first, but then he understood what he meant and laughed.
"You're right! I should properly ask for instructions! "
He said the word "ask for instructions" slowly and heavily. Both teacher and student looked at each other and laughed.
If Sui Xiong was here and saw this scene, he would probably mutter and give each of them a fox's tail …
