Arcane Linguist

Chapter 324: The war subsides, the dawn of peace
“What a good brother and good friendship!
Such a battle is worth remembering and savoring.

It's a pity that even with respect, you all still have to die! "

At some point, the others wiped out all the guards in the valley, crossed the battlefield, and gathered together.

Lin Ge's eyes were bright, and he looked at Quinistine and others who were blocked by the force wall at the bottom of the slope and endured the stomachache, and said quietly.

Roland sighed.

This invisible rope is tougher and more powerful than any spell!
The thinking mode of "operations research" tends to the absolute rationality of artificial intelligence, which strips away the sensibility and emotion of personality and restores the original probability calculation.

In the world of mathematics, everything is a model and everything is a probability.

No wonder he could see the brotherly feelings hidden beneath the surface of the mad dog of Queenistine and exploit it as a weakness.

The three of them looked at each other and acted in tacit agreement.

During this battle, Roland watched from the beginning to the end, and the only spell he cast was the harmless "Force Wall".

Because he spent most of his time outside of fighting, he had already done what he needed to do before actually taking action.

But at this time, he also took out a handful of magic cards, chanted the spells in an orderly manner, and jointly attacked in the form of props and spells one after another.

Seris Power Word...

"Certainly"! "shock"! "retreat"!
The elemental elders summoned by Linge and Naldo felt the repulsive force of the plane, and even poured out their firepower at the end of the elemental explosion.

Kunistin struggled to get over the wall, but was knocked back by the power of the spell, which was heavily imprinted on the stone wall.

Soon after, the smoke cleared.

He had been penetrated by a huge rock spear through his armor and nailed to the mountain wall.

Roland saw the opportunity and pointed his finger.

"Power Word: Defeat"!
The bronze ax condensed with blood fell down and cut off his head.

As the blood spurted out, Quinistine's soul and blood turned into red light, blended into the totem, and instantly condensed the bronze ax again, making it more solid and textured.

It was a feedback similar to a promotion ceremony. The power of the spell gave it the ability to devour enemies and gain strength.

The bronze ax was refreshed, even more solid and powerful than the first strike.

Roland took advantage of the situation and pointed it towards the orc guard, whose eyes were splitting.

Linge and Naldo used group binding spells.

The next moment, Dahao's head flew high again.

The bronze ax condensed again...

Two kills!

Three kills!

Four kills!

Five kills!

The same spell killed these powerful orc warriors one after another.

After a few seconds, there were no more killing targets around, and then it slowly dissipated.

The valley suddenly fell into a silent silence.

After experiencing the indiscriminate bombardment of spells, the elemental energy was chaotic, like will-o'-the-wisps visible to the naked eye, permeating everywhere. The common fire elements were completely dispersed, giving off bursts of smoke-like smells.

They brought a chilling atmosphere to this battlefield.

Roland looked down from a high position and looked around, only to see that the surrounding terrain had been completely changed by the power of magic.

Wherever he looked, not only were the mountain walls and rocks shattered by bombardment, but even the soil was scorched.

Mud and dust are flying, gravel is scattered, various swords and swords are hacking, and traces of fire and lightning strikes remain.

There are also the bodies of soldiers from both sides.

The corpses of the war dead lay in a heap, with weapons and equipment scattered nearby.

Just at this moment, the smoke and clouds formed by the fog technique dispersed, and the sunlight shone through the clouds and mist on the corpses. It was still noon, but it seemed to be filled with the sadness of the setting sun.

"Confirmed, the target is dead!"

After a while, Lin Ge and others came forward to conduct a careful inspection. After confirming that it was correct, they shouted to break the silence.

"Very good, clean it up quickly."

Roland withdrew his gaze and gave instructions.

The battle mages who had experienced hundreds of battles ignored the tragic scenes of blood and broken limbs, and instead began to worry about the messy feces and filth.

As a last resort, he used the "Cleaning Technique" one after another, which not only made it easier to collect the loot, but also gave the enemy some dignity.

They spent some time cleaning up the scene, using the natural holes in the valley to bury the bodies of ordinary orcs, and also piled the captured things together.

Roland took a brief look and began to preside over the distribution of the spoils.

As expected, there was a scroll of the level 9 spell "Black Blade of Calamity" that Kunistin had not had time to use, but it was not a law-based spell like "Prayer" or "Time Stop", so he was not too interested. Gave it directly to Ringer.

As for the "Contract of the Wild Fighting Demon", it is similar to the alliance contract of the elemental elders. Others cannot easily control it if they obtain it.

Roland inquired and learned that Naldo knew something about the Abyss Demon and might be able to use it, so he assigned the item to him, and then used other mid- to low-level scrolls to balance the value as compensation.

Immediately afterwards, Kunistin himself and the high-end equipment of four confidants were put into the public center and prepared to be used as a benefit for the battle mages.

These can be calculated based on the usual practice, such as giving rewards based on merit or dividing money in auctions.

After that, the equipment, props and various treasures found on other orc warriors were distributed to the accompanying people on the spot.

Although this battle was fought with more strikes and fewer blows, our side also suffered some casualties and losses in various materials.

In addition to pensions and reimbursements, Roland tried his best to provide everyone with satisfactory returns.

The more than [-] in cash carried by Quinistine, as well as a valuable treasure and sparkling gems, went to Trina.

Green Dragon was very satisfied with this.

She doesn't know how to use scrolls or anything like that, and she doesn't need those stinky orc equipment.

Gold coins and gems are still more practical.

In the end, all that was left was Roland's.

Roland originally had the mentality of removing obstacles for the school, and felt that being able to kill Quinistine would be the biggest gain.

But I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.

From a pile of scattered account books, letters, notes and other materials, he discovered traces of the interactions between Quinistine and the tribe. These things may increase his understanding of the Deni family and obtain some secrets that are difficult to find in books. Knowledge.

Beyond that, there is a diary recording Quinistine's private thoughts.

When Roland saw this thing, he was shocked.

These days, even the orcs are starting to talk about culture. Do you keep a diary?

After carefully checking it, he found that it was not protected by the "exploding talisman" or "snake pattern seal" commonly used by the Sixth Mage, nor was the text encrypted. After Roland opened it, he couldn't wait to read it.

"Year 1253 of the Blood and Fire Calendar..."

"Year 1254 of the Blood and Fire Calendar..."

"Year 1255 of the Blood and Fire Calendar..."

It actually records his journey of conquering multiple worlds and his connection with his own ethnic group.

Roland snapped his fingers: ""Reading Magic"! "

Then I started browsing at an astonishing speed.

After a while, Roland closed the diary with a look of realization on his face.

"I know what this guy is planning!"

"Sir Roland, what's wrong?"

Lin Ge turned around and said with a little confusion.

Roland pointed to the diary in his hand and said to him: "The Denis clan is indeed secretly planning to seize the land here!
But all they did was hidden from their employer, the Scroll Association, and the real partner was the devil of hell! "

"It's them again! No, it should be said that it's really them!"

Lin Ge also suddenly realized.

Roland said: "The Deni family and demons actually have a deep connection. If we help the Abyss Legion to conquer this place, even if the whole world is polluted, it will still be habitable.

Their people can have a vast continent as a space to thrive, and they no longer have to suffer the pain of displacement like in the past.

However, due to our timely action, their attempt was stopped just as it started to take shape. Otherwise, both sides have already invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and it would be easy for them to be caught up in the situation and continue to escalate the war. "

There is a special term to explain this situation, that is, sunk cost.

It is very difficult to overcome the gambler's mentality and stop gambling in time.

That requires being able to overcome one's own human weaknesses.

Roland was glad that he took action in time and did not get into such trouble.

"Extract the evidence of collusion between the devil and the Abyss Legion, and let Atrein condemn the Scroll Association.

I don't expect it to have any practical effect, but it can remind the Scroll Association and let them go to settle accounts with the Deni orcs.

The two legions of Black Blood and Black Fire had suffered a lot from their employer, so they had to stop for the time being and could not even bother coming here again. "

Roland analyzed the subsequent situation and made arrangements.He estimated in his heart that this time he should be able to realize his strategic intentions and clear the way for the development of the school.

As for the Fei Lie army, without external support, he is like a grasshopper after autumn, and he can't survive for long.

Ringer and Naldo learned that and didn't say much.

This is not what they, the battle mages, focus on.

Then Roland looked through other things again and unexpectedly found a practice manual that was only available to senior Deni people.

"This is...the various body-refining methods that their ancestors have explored and pursued over the past generations, as well as the key to the movement of fighting spirit!"

Roland had some surprises.

In a sense, this can be said to be the ancestral secret method of the orc warriors.

What is very different from Serisili Liuwu is that these orcs practice fighting spirit by running the power through their blood vessels and forcing it forward in a rough and direct way.

This will speed up their blood flow and stimulate their overall circulation.

After Roland read it hastily, he frowned and thought for a while, feeling that this kind of thing might be useful to Jiatos and Sakari.

"Forget it, go back and find someone to dissect the corpses of these orcs and study them."

When burying the enemy's corpse, Ringer, Naldo and others left behind the enemy leader.

This is a tradition inherited from human world wars. Leaders and others may be redeemed by the other party for burial.

Sometimes it is used as a means to deter the enemy, spread around, or hung on the top of the city for display.

But at this time, what Roland thought about was not to return it and not to humiliate it, but to hand it over to Jiados and others to contribute to medicine and martial arts.

In this battle, he was deeply impressed by the opponent's method of arousing violent fighting spirit.

Although in the end, Quinistine and others still died in their own hands, it was indeed not a crime of war.

……

Just as Roland and others were preparing to return, on the frontline battlefield, a mage beside Jonis put down his alchemy telescope and said to him with surprise on his face: "Captain, there seems to be a commotion in the camp opposite, and those orcs have returned! "

That’s Croton in effect!
Jonis did not explain to everyone, but decisively ordered: "Launch a general attack immediately!"

"Now? Launch a general attack?"

Everyone was surprised.

Jonis said vaguely: "There is no time to explain. This is a rare opportunity. Take action now!"

The name Croton War God is too ugly.

Both myself and Mr. Roland need to save face.

Ask nothing, say nothing.

Just make a fortune in silence!

……

"Why did the attack on the opposite side suddenly intensify? Where are the Deni orcs? Let them attack!"

When Jonis personally led the guard and appeared in the front row with a group of adventurer brothers, the general of the Ferre Army was immediately alert and prepared to mobilize the Deni orcs to stop them.

But they saw Jonis taking the lead and charging towards the enemy formation.

"kill!"

Dozens of brothers under his command, as well as the master adventurers who joined behind him, rushed to the front and fought hard to kill.

They were invincible all the way, piercing through the enemy formations effortlessly and defeating one unit after another.

With the strength of this group of Atrein adventurers, only the Deni orcs can confront them head-on or even suppress them.

But the general of the Fei Lie Army sent someone to pass the order, but what he got was a shocking and weird response: "No...it's not good, more than half of those orcs are suffering from diarrhea!"

Not everyone ate those beans, but for most of them, it was enough to render them incapable of fighting.

"Can't you bear it? What time is it now!

Holy water...yes, holy water, and healing spells, whatever they are used for, hurry up and cure them! "

The general yelled.

The people under his command were in chaos and hurriedly followed orders.

However, as the casualties on the front line suddenly increased, the morale of the army dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Deni orcs did not successfully go into battle from beginning to end. Instead, after hearing that the situation was extremely unfavorable, they ran away early, clutching their stomachs and pulling away.

Some of the soldiers of the Fei Lie army wanted to stop him, but they saw the leader of the orcs violently swung his arms, and the broad sword as wide as a human thigh flattened the man and his armor on the spot.

They are orcs, barbarians.

He is usually careless and a bit reckless.

But he's not stupid.

Why risk your life at this time? Run away quickly. Escape first.

From the beginning to the end, these professional mercenaries showed extremely excellent fighting qualities. In such a situation, they did not completely collapse, and even perfectly performed "retreat and turn into the wind."

But as they withdrew, the balance of war immediately tipped.

The Ferret army could no longer stop Jonis and others, and was pierced through the camp and completely defeated.

When Roland and others came back, what they saw was the scene where the Fei Lie army abandoned their helmets and armor and completely retreated to Blackstone Castle.

Jonis had already sent troops to the city and re-formed at the place where they had been defeated, preparing to take it down in one go.

"This Jonis is quite capable of taking charge of his own business!"

Roland couldn't help but feel satisfied.

As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. Being able to have this kind of subjective initiative to seize the opportunity really saves people worry and effort.

So he also added fuel to the fire: "Come here, give me these magic cards to Captain Jonis!"

He was going to temporarily lend the legendary card Xingtian in his hand to Jonis for use.

Because the situation at hand has become clear, there is no risk of loss or damage if it is temporarily lent to Jonis.

Moreover, even Quinistine has died in the battle, and the Scroll Association has been seized on the diplomatic level, so he no longer has to worry too much.

Soon, Jonis, who was on the front line, heard the news and laughed while holding his hands.

"Your Excellency Roland is wise. In this case, I will be more confident!"

"Isn't this what is written in "The Romance of the Gods", where gods bestow treasures?"

Someone said jokingly.

A group of adventurers who were deeply influenced by the culture of the Seris School were surprised and praised.

……

Completely opposite to the joyful mood of Jonis and others, at this moment, in the Blackstone Castle and the palace, Feier was sitting alone on the throne, with a face full of reluctance and disbelief.

After a long time, he sighed dejectedly and summoned a few loyal confidants who were waiting outside.

"The situation is over, and the blessings of the gods still failed to fall on me...

We have no chance of winning anymore!

But I was unwilling to be captured and sent to the city of Terry to suffer the humiliation of imprisonment and trial, so I decided to end it here.

After I die, burn my body so that it does not fall into the hands of those people. "

The confidants looked panicked and tried to persuade them one after another: "Your Majesty, please don't give up on yourself!"

But Fei Lie yelled and repelled him.

He pulled out his sword and wiped his neck decisively, ending his life.

The confidants had no choice but to follow his last words with tears in their eyes, and then divided into several waves, trying to escape through different secret passages or sneaking into the deserter team.

Jonis led his troops to attack, and what he saw was the blazing flames in the hall, the fire started with the help of oil and magic.

He had to organize manpower to put out the fire while controlling the grain depot, treasure house and other key locations. At the same time, he sent people to hunt down the fugitives and track down Felie's whereabouts.

After working hard until late at night, I was shocked to discover that the fire was caused by Felie's suicide and burning of his body.

Several people of the group of henchmen were arrested, but some of them still escaped. Now I am afraid that they all have gone their separate ways and successfully escaped.

Jonis had to bite the bullet and return in person to report the matter secretly to Roland who was waiting for the results in the rear camp.

When Roland heard this, he did not blame Jonis, but smiled indifferently.

"It's easy to do this. It's all over."

That night, all parties were busy, and various statistics, settlements, and pursuits were carried out nervously.

When the news came back to the mage tower and Rosa knew about it, it was already the next morning.

She sat in the room, listening to the news that Roland personally informed via magic network communication, with an inexplicably complicated look on her face.

But at this moment, the morning light shone in through the window, making the room clear.

She squinted her eyes and looked out the window, only to see people crowding around in the bustling market outside. The entire Terry City had begun to wake up and became as lively as ever.
