In the Core Hall of the Third Border City.
As soon as Roland and the others walked out of the long and narrow underground passage, they heard a hysterical scream.
"This is..." Vendy asked in surprise.
"The Wail of Kabradhabi," answered Phyllis, who was leading the way. "It broke down completely when Ursrook was defeated. It not only kept silent but also tried to commit suicide many times. It took us a while to subdue it. "
"I suddenly think it's not a bad idea to keep it alive," Tilly said expressionlessly.
"The current situation is that it has to be alive." Phyllis nodded openly. "The discovery of the secret letter is an excellent opportunity for us to learn more about the enemy and even master their language and writing. This is an opportunity that the Union has been longing for but never got."
"I didn't expect Kabradhabi to cooperate with you," Nightingale exclaimed.
"No, it didn't. The process is a little complicated... You'll understand when you see it. "
They walked to the interrogation table and saw Scourge, who had been possessed by the Senior Demon, tied to a metal stand with a pipe inserted into its abdomen. Scourge's eyelids were forced open, and in front of him was a stack of papers with strange characters written on them.
"Is this... the secret letter that Summer recreated?" Vendy asked.
"Yes, it was discovered in the air. If it weren't for Maggie's sharp eyes, we would have missed it." It was Agatha who answered. Her face was a little pale, and her eyes were slightly dark. It seemed that she had not rested for a long time in order to decipher the information in the letter.
After learning that the battle was over, Roland immediately sent the Neverwinter Detective Group to the front line to help the army collect information that was difficult to obtain by normal means. Compared to the words that were revealed to the human beings, the clues left by accident were undoubtedly much more reliable.
Since Summer's magic power was limited, Roland had focused on the battle between the sniper team and the enemy, and how the Magic Slayer had set up the ambush and deceived Sylvie.
However, the response to this move far exceeded his expectations.
He did not expect that on the evening of the second day before the final battle, Ösrook would sit on the giant skeleton and write this personal letter to the setting sun.
This scene was also recorded accurately by Scene Rewind.
"Ahhhhh! Kawoo!" Kabradhabi howled again, twisting its body and struggling to turn its head away.
Agatha nodded at Breeze. The latter stomped his feet, and the Senior Demon immediately shut its mouth.
"I see. You used He Feng to control its movements and forced it to read the secret letter?" Nightingale suddenly understood.
[Then, with the help of Lady Camilla's telepathic connection, repeatedly feel her first reaction when she sees the words. "Celine added," Although this guy is trying to confuse his consciousness, as long as we change the content of the words and compare them many times, we can determine which thoughts are real and which are imaginary. To be honest, it was thanks to His Majesty that he came up with this idea. "
"Me?" Roland was stunned.
"You wrote in your intermediate biology textbook that as long as a dog sees a piece of meat, it will secrete a lot of gastric juice, whether it has eaten the meat or not. This kind of conditional reaction is a common characteristic of all living creatures. It seems that the demons are no exception. " "
[It was through this method that we were able to piece together the contents of the letter from the minds of the Senior Demons who were completely uncooperative and understand their language. Without Lady Camilla's help, I'm afraid that this process would have taken a long time. " Then she waved her main tentacle at the Chief Steward of Sleeping Island to show her gratitude.
"I just... hope I can help Lady Tilly," the latter said, biting her lip.
"This is what witches are capable of, but full of limitations..." Roland thought. Their unique characteristics made it impossible for any of them to be the same. If they lacked a key ability, they might not be able to be awakened even after hundreds of years. There might have been witches similar to Camilla Dary in the past two Battles of Divine Will, but they were probably born at the wrong time. By the time they awakened, the situation was already in a disadvantageous position, and humans could no longer catch a living Senior Demon.
Perhaps Ösrook focused on eliminating witches because of this. But... in the eyes of the demons, could Ashes, Sylvie, and the other witches really be as valuable as Taquila? The Obelisk needed God's Stone mines to build. Once Taquila was occupied, the Red Mist it produced would cover the entrance of the Impassable Mountain Range. At that time, the Devilbeasts could easily cross the mountains and invade the hinterland of the Four Kingdoms. It would undoubtedly be hundreds of times more difficult for humans to drive the demons out of the Fertile Plains.
This was also the opinion of the General Staff and the ancient witches of Taquila.
Perhaps the clue as to why there was such a big difference in their judgment was in the letter.
"Then, tell me in detail what you've deciphered," Roland said slowly.
...
As the sentences were separated and then pieced back together, the content of the letter was not complete. It was a little disjointed, but it was enough for everyone to understand. As Celine reconstructed the sentences into his mind, Roland could not help but have the illusion that she was whispering into his ear.
[Sky Lord, the decisive battle is coming soon... I've made sufficient preparations, both for the enemies and for myself. ]
[In the past month, I've heard the call of... more than once. The omen is so clear, perhaps I will usher in a breakthrough in this battle...]
[I know this will bring you criticism, but it will not affect your plan for the Western Front. ]
[If we succeed, the enemies will lose the means they rely on... and we will regain the upper hand in the battle. ]
[... If we increase the number of troops tenfold, the humans will definitely lose...]
[But this battle is not without suspense. If I fail...]
[Please treat the humans as an opponent on par with us and annihilate them, even if we have to give up the Fathomless Abyss. ]
[... As long as we can obtain their legacy shards, we still have the hope of defeating the Sky-sea Realm. ]
[Finally, please send my regards to the king and Lord Nightmare. ]
When Ösrook finished displaying the entire letter, Roland felt a layer of cold sweat oozing out of his back.
He finally knew why Phyllis was so anxious.
From the result, the enemy had undoubtedly failed. Not only did it not wipe out the sniper squad, but it had also died in the hands of Ashes.
But this also meant that the situation had been led to the second hypothesis.
Although there were still some uncertainties, the meaning of the sentence seemed to be urging its people to give up the battle with the Sky-sea Realm, and treat the humans as the top enemy, attacking and annihilating them?
Damn it... What a joke!
Roland suddenly felt a great pressure. This was probably the worst news since the start of the war.
"I'm afraid we have to give up the development plan of the Fertile Plains," Vendy murmured.
"If the enemies go all out, it's too risky to build the residential area outside the Impasse Defense Line."
"But how do we solve their need for the Red Mist?"
"The demons can build the Obelisk in Starfall City to relieve the pressure at the front."
"But that way, the Red Mist won't be able to cover the Fertile Plains, so we can still delay until the next Battle of Divine Will. This is no different from the previous plan, right?"
"The difference is that we'll be facing the demons' entire main force."
