"You want to sacrifice the little Eternal Queen? To resurrect Nagash? " Laing shook his head violently. He could not understand why the Goddess would do this. "Why resurrect Nagash? Don't you know how much damage the resurrection of the Lord of the Dead will cause to the world?"
"I know." The Goddess of the Lake also knew that her thoughts were a little too much.
Who was Alisala? She was the product of the love between Eternal Queen Alariel and Tyrion! She was the niece of Lilith's First Chosen Tegris. She was the daughter of Yisha, and Yisha was Lilith's mother!
"However, without Nagash's undead army to fight against the tide of Chaos, our army would not be able to survive The Final Moment." The Goddess of the Lake told everyone the reason. "Laing, you know, Motekin's invasion was only ten to twenty percent of the Chaos army, and it was already so difficult to fight. Yes, I know that you and your wolf brother may be able to defeat Motekin, but this new Eternal Chosen God is different."
"Different?" Suria was still interested. The female knight held the Goddess' hand. "What's different, my lady?"
"Right now, this new Eternal God's Chosen Eichahn has gathered six Chaos Divine Artifacts." The Goddess of the Lake frowned. "In terms of strength, Eichahn's strength was not even comparable to Motekin before he received the blessings of the Four Gods of Chaos. But after receiving the blessings of Chaos and collecting the six Divine Artifacts of Chaos, his strength has been raised to an unimaginable level. And the most terrifying thing is that the six Divine Artifacts of Chaos have strengthened his strength by hundreds and thousands of times. It is almost impossible to kill him. At least in the most powerful attack I have ever seen from Asuran, the most it could do was injure Eichahn. And I can feel that the blessings that Eichahn received from the Four Gods of Chaos this time seems to be different from the blessings of the previous Eternal Chosen Gods."
"Furthermore, Eichahn is definitely not as foolish as Motekin. Motekin is only constantly going into battle personally for the sake of revenge. This Eichahn would not do that," the Goddess continued. "How many troops do you have to fight him?"
"You mean to say that as long as Eichaen cannot be killed, the army of Chaos can appear without end?" Olica was deep in thought. The dark elf lay on Laing's back and whispered into Laing's ear, "Master, what Lilith said might not be a lie. The elves once defeated the Army of Chaos under the leadership of Ainarion, but the Army of Chaos continued to attack for one or two hundred years, and the elves were unable to withstand it and were on the verge of destruction."
"I know that." Laing nodded. The Sun King then said, "Let's not talk about the elves. Let's talk about the Ancient Saint First Born Lizardmen. During the first invasion of Chaos, the Lizardmen once gained the upper hand against the Army of Chaos and suppressed hundreds and thousands of Chaos armies. However, the Chaos was endless. After hundreds of years of war, the Lizardmen finally couldn't hold on any longer. The first generation of Demon Toads all died in battle. The once glorious Ancient Saint First Born First Born was greatly weakened.
"So, Madam, you mean that we need to revive the Lord of the Undead, Nagash, and let his Undead Army fight against Chaos?" Morgiana, the witch of the Lake Goddess, also spoke. Her face was full of hatred. "But Madam, how can we guarantee that the Lord of the Undead will be willing to cooperate with us? What if he turns against us? "
"This is indeed a problem." The Lady in the Lake said helplessly, "But we have no other choice. The Great Swirl is quickly disintegrating. Laing, Suria, Olica, and Morgiana, you must have seen the chaos of the old world recently, right? If I were to wait until the Great Maelstrom completely disintegrates, the situation would be ten times, no, a hundred times more intense! Therefore, we must resurrect the Lord of Necromancy, Nagash. "
"Wait …" Laing signaled for the goddess to stop. "I need to clarify. It's not like only the Lord of the Dead can control the undead. Other undead can also command the undead army."
"Because … we need the Eight Wind Incarnations." The Lake Fairy hesitated for a second before deciding to reveal her plan.
To put it simply, after the Great Guardian lost its effect, the Great Swirl would immediately disintegrate.
After the Great Swirl disintegrated, the Wind of Chaos that was bound and restricted by the Great Swirl would be completely released and blown to the whole world. The demons of Chaos would no longer be restricted. What the mortal world would have to face was a complete invasion of Chaos in the true sense of the word. Just like the first invasion of Chaos, the demons would directly step into the mortal world. The Wind of Chaos would constantly blow to the mortal world and gradually transform everything into a realm of Chaos.
However, the disintegration of the Great Swirl did not mean that there were no benefits. The Eight Wind Incarnations that had been separated and restricted within the Great Swirl for thousands of years would be released. The magic would become complete, and the power of people like Laing would be completely released.
And Lilith was eyeing the power of the Eight Wind Incarnations. The goddess clearly told Laing and the others that if the Great Swirl was allowed to disintegrate, the Eight Wind Incarnations would quickly find a host and would very likely be taken away by Chaos.
Lilith believed that only by gathering all the Eight Wind Incarnations would they have the power to fight against Echahn. Only then would they have the chance to defeat Echahn.
Laing sneered a few times, wondering if the Goddess of the Lake had forgotten something. However, he did not continue. Instead, he asked the goddess, "Does it have to be Nagash? Can't others do it? "
"Who else in the School of Death could control the Eight Wind Incarnations?" The Goddess of the Lake sighed. "The Rose of the Cemetery in Nur? I'm sorry, but her ability is too weak. She can't unleash the true power of the Wind of Death. Or Man Frey Von Karstein? Or Lich King Akerhan? None of them will work. Akerhan is Nagash's loyal hound. He won't work with us unless we can revive Nagash. Man Frey Von … Let's not talk about it. "
That was true. Laing had to admit that what the Goddess of the Lake said made sense. Other than Nagash, no one else could be so proficient in the School of Death and Undead Magic. At the same time, he could easily control the dead of the world.
"Don't think that I'm exaggerating." The Goddess of the Lake crossed her arms and continued, "Let's not talk about other things. Let's talk about White Wolf City and Mildenheim. Yes, White Wolf City is protected by the White Wolf God Yurick. As long as the White Wolf's Fire is not extinguished, the Army of Chaos will never be able to charge into the city on a large scale. They can only rely on the followers of Chaos to do some small tricks. However, that's because of the suppression of the Great Whirlpool. As long as the Great Whirlpool's power is present, White Wolf City will be fine. But once the suppression of the Great Whirlpool is gone, Laing, guess how long Yurick can protect White Wolf City with his own power alone?"
"How long?" Laing asked casually.
"It's already amazing if he can maintain the protection for a few years. Even if Yurick is the God of War, it's impossible for him to maintain the defense of a city for a long time." Lilith shook her head. "If that's the case, the fall of White Wolf City is only a matter of time. Besides, the food reserves of White Wolf City can last for two or three years at most."
"Well …" Laing groaned. The Knight King wanted to lean back, but then he remembered that Olica was still on his back. His eyes suddenly lit up. "Olica, can you bind the Wind of Death?"
"Unfortunately, Master, I'm learning dark magic." Olica shook her head. "Even if you can seize the power of the Pale Queen in the future, the Pale Queen manages the souls of the elves in the Underworld. Not only will the Wind of Death not be of help, but it will also be harmful to the priesthood and divinity."
The current situation made Laing feel very annoyed. They had been discussing the little queen for a long time, and now you want to sacrifice her?
However, Laing could understand everything that the Goddess of the Lake said.
Why sacrifice the little queen? Why resurrect Nagash? Why gather the eight wind avatars?
Because this was a survival in the midst of death. In fact, as the Goddess of the Lake said, after the Great Whirlpool and the Great Guardian disintegrated, it was almost impossible to defeat the tide of Chaos by relying on the power of the mortal world alone. Because once the Great Whirlpool was released, Chaos could infinitely farm Martian soldiers in the Northern Wasteland and the Southern Wasteland.
What was the point of guarding for one or two more years? How could the mortals fight Chaos?
The success rate of the Goddess of the Lake's plan was not high. She estimated that it was at most ten to twenty percent, and this was caused by the countless changes brought by Laing. Otherwise, she had said before that there would only be one success in countless possibilities, and several times would be considered a draw.
But to put it simply, if she did not do anything, everyone would be prepared to slowly walk towards death. If she did something, the whole world might be finished faster, but there might still be a glimmer of hope.
As she said before, if she did not gamble, she would die. If she gambled, she might live, so why not? If she gambled, she would turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. If she gambled a little to support her family, if she gambled a lot to make a fortune, if she gambled a lot to stabilize the country.
Whose child would cry every day, and whose brother would lose every day? If you wanted to get rich, you had to bet heavily, three to five bottles, force a punch or two, the more you bet, the less you bet, it was fate … Cough cough, I digress.
According to Lilith, only the incarnations of the Eight Winds, as well as powerful existences like Laing who specialized in Chaos, or existences like Angelang who could pull physical damage to the limits of the mortal world, could deal true damage and damage the flesh and blood under the Six Gods Armor of Eichaen.
And the source of the opportunity to defeat Eichaen would be Nagash reviving all the dead in the world and fighting Chaos head-on.
Otherwise, with the scale of the Chaos army, it would only be a matter of time before the mortal world was defeated.
So what did my twenty years of hard work, everything that I did, count for? Laing could not help but feel a little dejected.
But the Sun King recovered quickly. He knew that all his hard work had already borne fruit. The Empire had avoided being depleted by a series of invasions, the dwarves had recovered the Eight Peaks Mountain, Lilith had given up on her plan to escape, and Brittany had now built an extremely powerful army that only obeyed his orders.
These efforts were all slowly increasing the chances of getting through the final moment.
"Your plan is really unreliable, my lady. I don't think that reviving Nagash is a good idea." After listening to so much, Laing firmly rejected the plan of the Fairy of the Lake once again. "Everything you said does make sense in many places. I also admit that you're right. Mortals are no match for Chaos in terms of attrition. But I can't trust the undead, especially Nagash. If the Lord of the Undead was really so reliable, he wouldn't have been defeated and suffered so many tragedies in history."
"But … if we don't do this, what do we have to fight against the tide of Chaos?" The Fairy of the Lake saw that Laing still did not agree, and became a little anxious. "Perhaps we can hold on for a longer time, and even gain the upper hand for a short period of time. But if we can't defeat Eichaen, failure is destined."
"Before that, my lady, can you tell me, other than you, what other plans do the other gods have?" Laing closed his eyes and said calmly.
Lilith smiled bitterly and told Ryan about the plans of the other gods that she had heard about.
The Gods of Nicohara were basically inactive. They were no different from being dead.
The human gods were too young. Most of the human gods did not even know what would happen and what had happened. Therefore, although many human gods knew about the final moment, none of them had a decent plan. Even gods like the Goddess of War, Mirmidia, who was recognized as a highly intelligent god, could only think of quickly finding an incarnation for themselves.
Of the three main dwarven gods, one was trapped in the metal world, the other was trapped in the realm of Chaos. Only Valaya had just awakened. But this dwarf goddess' strategic ability was very limited. All she could do was repeatedly emphasize that the dwarves must unite under the Supreme King Solgreen. The oracle of the dwarf goddess was naturally very effective for the dwarves, but it was different for the Supreme King. For example, Belegar did not seem to care much about the Supreme King's decree. Compared to the Supreme King, Belegar was more willing to believe in his brother Laing.
Then what about the elven gods?
Lilith briefly explained the three main elven gods' plans for ET.
Lord of the Phoenix Asuyan: I have written everything on the slate. You can do as you see fit. What? You don't understand? Then guess. Aren't you good at guessing? Guess with all your might!
God of War and Murder Cain: Find a handsome, confident, emotional, and very popular male (). Go to the Barren Islands and pull out Cain's sword. Kill, kill everyone, including the elves! (Cain has a very strong tendency to self-destruct)
God of Hunting Kunos: All the elves come to the Great Forest of Azeroth. If the enemy comes, gather your superior forces and fight to the death. (Outside the Great Forest of Azeroth? It's none of my business!)
Everyone was sweating profusely.
From the beginning to the end, the elven gods had been very clear about the final moment for thousands of years?
In other words, in the end, Lilith's plan was the only god with a decent plan?
Laing thought to himself. If the Emperor had thousands of years to slowly plan, would the chaos still have a chance?
Well, it could not be said that. Before the Emperor revealed his true identity, he had planned for 30,000 years, but in the end, he still failed.
Chaos was eternal, and mortals were fragile. Chaos could let you win a thousand times, ten thousand times, and most of them would accept it with a smile. At most, they would scold you. What could they do? As long as mortals lost once, everything would be over, and then the process of destruction, rebirth, prosperity, and decline would repeat.
"In short, I don't think resurrecting Nagash is a good idea." In the end, Clayon rejected the suggestion. "I don't care who the Wind of Death chooses, but no matter what, I won't put my trust in the Lord of the Undead, not to mention the price to pay to revive the Lord of the Undead."
"But …" The Lady of the Lake still wanted to say something.
"I know, Lilith. I know. When the time comes, I will think of a way to get reinforcements." Laing still shook his head.
"Lady, since Laing said he will think of a way, you should trust him." Suria helped the Lady of the Lake persuade. The female knight held the goddess' hand. "As always, Laing has never let us down."
"Yes, Lady, I also think that the undead are unreliable." Morgiana also openly disagreed with the Lady of the Lake on this matter.
"I only listen to my master," Olica said bluntly. "As for this woman, who cares?"
The Lady of the Lake's face suddenly darkened.
"Four to one, my Lady." Laing smiled. This was the first time that Laing had opposed the goddess' decision so firmly.
"My champion, my husband, my lover, it looks like you're planning to go against me?" The Lady of the Lake calmed down. The goddess sighed softly. "I don't want to threaten you, but you …"
"I said, leave it to me. Nagash is unreliable," Laing emphasized again. "Whether you agree or not, my Lady, I will do this."
"Sigh …" The Lady of the Lake could only nod helplessly. The goddess suddenly said sadly. She pretended to wipe her tears and pretended to be wronged. "My champion actually came to make decisions for me. These years of love and time have been wasted after all!"
"That year, the moon was dim. You said that you were the Lady of the Lake. Perhaps you were wrong from the beginning!" Laing immediately recited his lines. The Sun King put his hand on his chest and pretended to be pitiful, which made Suria and the others convulse with laughter.
"Haha …" The Lady of the Lake saw that Laing was more into the role than she was and could not help but laugh out loud. The goddess shook her head. "Forget it. Anyway, I have given up on the plan of the new world. I bet everything on you. I hope you won't let me down."
"Please look forward to my performance!"
… I paid for the section break wrongly after all …
At the end of December 2520 of the Empire's calendar, the Turkey Banquet was held at the Fontainebleau Palace as scheduled.
Laing had never participated in these things. On the contrary, he received the latest information.
The High Elves' operation to rescue the little queen had failed.
Compared to Laing, who was further away, Emperor Karl-franz of the Empire received the news faster. And along with it, there was a letter from the High Elves.
"What? The High Elves asked the Empire to prepare a regular army of no less than twenty thousand soldiers to be on standby at any time to follow them in the second operation to rescue the little queen? "
"Twenty thousand soldiers, and it's a regular army. How can I provide that?"
