Ogyust stared at the scene in a daze.
The drow warriors around him surrounded him with their swords.
"In the end, I still failed."
Ogyust's golden spear drew an arc, forcing the drow scimitar warriors to retreat. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Captain Marco on the hillside.
"You are Dior Kail Bloom's knight! Tell him that he's the winner of this game! "
"However, I swear in the name of Ogyust Barros that if we meet again, I will defeat him and win! Hahahahaha! "
White light flickered, and Ogyust Barros' figure disappeared.
Marco's palms were sweaty. He could see Ogyust's strength. If he fought hard, it was still possible to break out of the encirclement. But for some reason, Ogyust chose to give up.
If Bai Xiaowen were here, he would understand Ogyust's thoughts. Andre, the think tank, had been expelled, and most of the Awakened Divine Court subordinates had been lost. Ogyust, the leader, had become a commander without an army, leaving only Ouyang Heng and Camille, the two Earth natives.
There was not much time left for the original trigger of the third stage of the main mission. Ogyust alone could no longer complete Andre's plan and set off monstrous waves in the north.
Therefore, it was meaningless for Ogyust to continue to resist.
As for why he didn't break out of the encirclement and leave in a safe area to save a return item? The reason was even simpler. This thing was regarded as a treasure by the average person, but Ogyust had plenty of it, so he didn't feel distressed at all.
…
White Stone City.
After Cecilia learned the news, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
"The biggest unstable factor in the White Stone Region has been solved. There are not many Awakened Warriors left in the Divine Court Training Camp. After the leader withdrew, it will be difficult for the others to make a difference. "
Captain Marco said, "Before the leader of the speculators from the other world left, he asked me to pass a message to the Lord …"
After listening to the retelling, Cecilia smiled, "He doesn't understand the gap between him and Dior. This time, Dior had only used half of his intelligence to destroy his grand unification plan. If Dior had stayed in Kane long enough, he wouldn't even have had the chance to say that. "
When the captains of the knights saw Cecilia's smile and her faint pride, they sighed inwardly. Their mistress had truly fallen in love with this man.
However, as knights, it was their duty to be loyal to their lord. The three of them would not change their loyalty just because Cecilia liked someone.
"Is there any movement from the drows?" Cecilia asked again.
"Lady Cynthia urged us to give them the improved version of the plague's nemesis drug as soon as possible," Captain Tim said.
"Contact Zombie Doctor and see how his preparations are going."
Not long after, the image of the Zombie Doctor's head and goldfish eyes appeared on the magic communication incantation.
Compared to before, Dr. Zombie's appearance had changed. He wore a pair of tortoiseshell glasses and gave off the aura of a scholar, if you didn't pay attention to his incomplete yellow teeth and green skin.
After hearing Cecilia's question, Dr. Zombie snapped his fingers.
"Esteemed Lady Cecilia, you're underestimating my research ability too much. With the original plague's nemesis drug as the foundation and the sample of the improved version of the Undead plague virus, developing the upgraded version is a piece of cake. Give me three more days and I'll definitely succeed. "
Cecilia cursed inwardly. Dr. Zombie had gotten the sample more than a week ago, but he still needed three more days to complete it. Compared to his godly speed of creating the first-generation plague's nemesis drug from scratch, it seemed that he had slacked off. Without Dior, he couldn't control this guy.
Of course, this speed was already astonishingly high for the native scholars of the Cain Plane. In fact, the Lord of Plague had spent more than a year improving the Undead plague virus.
"Dr. Zombie, don't make it public for the time being after developing the finished product," Cecilia said.
"The plague's nemesis drug is the only way we can restrain the drows. These monsters are capricious. If they get it in advance, I'm worried that there will be variables that will affect the overall situation of the war against Sin Realm. Let them fight with the monsters of Sin Realm for a while first. "
"It's up to you, esteemed lady. I'm a pure scholar. I'm only responsible for scientific research," Dr. Zombie said.
"… Well then, pure scholar. Don't forget Dior's instructions." Cecilia was speechless for a while and could only bring up Bai Xiaowen.
Dr. Zombie smiled awkwardly and quickly ended the communication.
…
On the plague territory's side, without the Awakened of the God's Court, the remnant army of Sin Realm didn't dare to rashly attack the south.
It should be noted that the current Sin Realm's allied army wasn't much weaker than when Absauron was in power. Although they didn't have a valiant war lord like Absauron as their commander, the various tribes of the remnant army of Sin Realm had basically completed "undead" — that was, completely transformed into undead creatures. Their strength had generally increased.
Of course, this was the inevitable result of the Cain Realm's evolution from the middle to the late stage of great unification. Every faction's forces were improving, and the most obvious indicator was the level of the faction.
In the war of the remnant army two years ago, most spiritual creatures were at level six, and a few natives had just crossed the threshold and reached level seven. But now, natives below level seven were almost extinct (except for children), and there were even some at level eight or nine.
The strength of the Sin Realm's allied army was improving, and so was the strength of the White Stone Region's construction corps and archers, not to mention the assistance of the drows.
This was the reason why the Lord of Plague didn't order an attack, fearing a repeat of the past.
In the following month, the Gorse Empire and the Northland Province were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Nicholas IV promoted the reform and summoned the heirs of various noble territories to the imperial capital in the name of "studying at the Imperial Capital Academy." In fact, they were hostages.
Riding on the momentum of the victory in the western expedition, the hostage plan was implemented smoothly. A few diehard nobles were naturally reprimanded by the emperor. Next, the gun would hit the bird that stuck out. These nobles' territories were the first to be targeted. The process was needless to say.
The central government of the empire, which had recovered a lot of rights and interests, had achieved immediate results in terms of finances. Nicholas had also finally prepared the funds for the northern expedition. The first Imperial Army to assist the Northland was already on the way.
As for the Northland Province — or White Stone City to be exact — it had also experienced a leap in development.
