Transcendent Noble

At the beginning, the ant colony came in turbulently, and wherever it went, the barren left only devastated. In just two months, the whole of Centaur Hills fell. The York family decisively gave up the territory lacking fortifications and called the people to hide in Black Castle Town. On the Western border and the southern border of the Kingdom of Sri Lanka, the lords of the kingdom and the high-ranking priests of the church were panicked and asked Sylvia to take the initiative to attract the Ant-Man army outside of Black Castle Town to gain buffer time for the kingdom to mobilize troops.

Everyone soon discovered that the ant tide has a single behavior pattern and does not understand strategy and tactics. As long as the response method is appropriate, it is not difficult to eliminate the ant-man army. Except for a few ant-man chiefs, all ant-mans are brainless insects and have become the inherent impression of human lords and church priests.

Victor has a deeper understanding of Ant-Man. He guessed that Ant-Man is a special alchemy unit with dull behavior, and its intelligence and learning ability are far inferior to the newly created homunculus.

Fearless, absolute obedience to orders is the advantage of alchemy creatures, but also a major flaw. Those who are not afraid of death are particularly prone to death. Homunculus has the ability to learn. After a period of training, they can gain judgment, but they are always the first to die on the battlefield. Ant-Man has neither the learning ability of homunculus, nor the wild innate talent of alchemy war mastiff. Centaur Hills, with three giant fortresses and several hundred meters high and steep cliffs, can completely block them in the Great Swamp.

His own experience makes Victor overlook a simple fact-Ant-Man’s hands are the same as humans, they can grasp tools and use weapons.

From the perspective of monster studies, all creatures with dexterous hands are intelligent species with productive capabilities, and the productive capabilities include engineering capabilities.

Ant-man’s body structure is obviously suitable for large-scale projects. They have six limbs, can stand up, and liberate the upper limbs and forelimbs with a total of four hands. But no scholar considered that Ant-Man would dig tunnels from the ground to break through large fortifications built by humans.

In fictional war stories, there are examples of tunnel breakthrough city wall defense. But this kind of thing, whoever believes in is a fool.

In fact, it is more time-consuming and laborious for humans to build a small Earth Palace than a fortress. If it is to dig a tunnel to siege the city, it must take into account the problems of soil collapse, water permeability, air flow, and direction and structure. ,and many more.

Under the ever-changing battle situation, mobilizing the army to dig a long tunnel, the commander's brain must be broken? How many years do you plan to dig a tunnel out? The digging is shallow, it is about to hit the city wall, the digging is deep, and the soldier suffocates to death... Besides, the defender is not blind, how can you watch the enemy slowly dig a tunnel?

In fact, it’s okay to watch the enemy be stupid. The army siege always consumes food, not to mention the heavy physical work of digging tunnels.

The human kingdom has fought orc monsters for more than 9,000 years. Kobolds are considered to be monsters who are good at digging holes, but no human castle has been breached from the ground.

Unless, the enemy of the attack is a natural Underground Tribe.

It is clearly stated in the Diary of Isoques that the prototype of Ant-Man is the Gros insect race from Underground World. They can secrete special mucus, stabilize the soil structure, and have a low demand for air. If what the ancient alchemists said is true, the Ant-Man army is fully capable of bypassing the three fortresses, choosing a cliff to dig out the road, and breaking through the natural defense line of the skylark mountain range. The skylark mountain range is more than one thousand kilometers long, and even if the Kingdom of Gambis gathers hundreds of thousands of troops, it is undefeable.

The most terrible thing is that the behavioral characteristics of the last ant boom are particularly consistent with the two behavioral patterns of Gros insect race. The development model of the underground insect race, Victor summed it up as the expansion, collection, exploration, destruction of the insect colony, as well as the replacement of the old and the new race. To put it simply, the first generation of insects are aging and weak, and they are about to die. Insect Empress sends them out to death. There is no need to control them, and they can be used as waste. If these old insects encounter an enemy or a valuable target that can threaten the race, the queen will change to the second mode to encourage the mother to reproduce more swarm combat units, and breed the Insect King by itself, which will be launched by the Insect King. war.

The preparation period of the war mode is as long as 20 years, and the power accumulated by the swarm will reach the state of pinnacle.

Some time ago, Victor sent two alchemy creature reconnaissance teams to the Endless Forest, trying to find the location of Ant-Man's nest. If calculated according to the original estimated 15-year war period, the reconnaissance team should have encountered an army of ants on the prairie west of the swamp, but they did not see any ants.

The queen bred the king, and the postponement of the war to 20 years can be explained!

No matter how powerful the Ant King’s individual strength is, the Ant-Man army he leads will never be as easy to deal with as last time, and will definitely be able to give full play to Ant-Man’s war advantages, such as digging tunnels.

Victor suddenly felt a headache when he thought of this. He rubbed his tangled eyebrows, restrained his impetuous mood, picked up the quill again, and while extracting the information from the X-3 record, he wrote the record on the hide paper. Trying to find a way to deal with the ant colony from the diaries of ancient alchemists.

"Maximo dismissed my doubts. He claimed that the Insect Empress Alchemy Tower was placed inside the rift, and there was no need to follow the traditional Alchemy Tower method and the tower owner would control every ethnic alchemy unit. At first glance, his words seem to make sense, but he can’t hide from me...Maximo is concealing what I’m really interested in. The more autonomy of alchemy units, the harder they are to control. Fortunately, their souls are compared to Alchemy. The total amount of soul fire in Tower is scattered and weak, unable to resist the will of the soul source, just as life in the material world cannot resist the will of Tyrone Riel, and always obeys the law of the world in the form of life instinct. Because of the same origin The soul is one. The material world created by the Creator repels all non-origin wills, even Tyrone Riel's father-the snake of chaos, and his mother-the bird of light."

"Abyss The reason why Demon and the sanctuary Divine Race can still manifest on the material plane is because they have the brand of Tyrone Riel. If they stay on the material plane for a long time, the closer they are to the law of the world, the element sea Will slowly dissolve the will of the Chaos Snake and the Light Bird. At that time, the Devil and Divine Race will no longer be able to return to the Serpent Abyss and the Light Bird Sanctuary, completely transform into the life form of the material world, and lose the great will of Eternal Immortal "

"Under normal circumstances, high-level demons and high-level Divine Race cannot be killed at all, but the sanctuary Divine Race trapped part of the souls of the three original demon kings, preventing them from returning to the abyss blood pool. , And gave this part of the soul to the high-level elemental emissaries, who use the power of the element sea to wipe out the chaotic imprint in the soul of the demon. These immortal soul fires that have lost the devil’s will are the source of the soul fire of Alchemy Tower. We have also developed void alchemy."

"Each Alchemy Tower requires an alchemist to weave the will side. The archmage then winds off a small part of the tower’s soul and removes the soul of Alchemy Tower. The fire is ignited. The alchemy creature uses the spirit fire of the Alchemy Tower to determine the will of the tower owner as the source, and thus obeys the tower owner’s command. If it leaves the Alchemy Tower’s soul fire, the tower owner cannot Sovereign alchemy creatures. Gross insect race and ordinary creatures The difference is that their hearts are connected as a whole. No human can control hundreds of alchemy units at the same time. The information transmitted by the leader of the swarm can cause his soul to collapse."

"So , Insect Empress Alchemy Tower i mpossible There is a human tower master, without the will brought by the human tower master dividing the soul, Maximo also impossible to activate the soul fire of the Insect Empress Alchemy Tower. The source of the Gros insect race is the King of Spirit World. His will brand is biased towards the devil, but it belongs to Tyrone Riel's Ancient God sequence. It is his mission to develop the underground world. In the middle and late stages of the Twilight Era, the underground race of the Lord of Spirit World lost to Abyss Demon and coveted the world on the ground, so he was hunted down by Goddess of the Moon. Freya seized the power of the Lord of Spirit World, and this gave birth to the underground elves. Due to the peculiarities of the spiritual connection of Gros insect race, Insect Empress is equivalent to the incarnation of the king of Spirit World. Even if only one egg is left in the swarm, the king of Spirit World will not completely fall. Therefore, I believe that Maximo found the incarnation of the remnant of the King of Spirit World, captured his soul, and invented the Insect Empress Alchemy Tower. However, they did not notify the Supreme Council, nor did they use the power of the sea of ​​elements to consume the spirit of the king of Spirit World. Otherwise, they can only get pure soul fire, and it is not immortal soul fire, even ordinary Alchemy Tower can't make it. "

"I have to say that Maximo and the others are too courageous, they dare to intercept the weak will of the King of Spirit World privately, and use it to create the Insect Empress Alchemy Tower... No, that simply can't be counted. Alchemy Tower, the will of the King of Spirit World will be awakened and strengthened in Insect Empress. If they can’t come up with a control method that convinces me, I would rather risk being killed by the teacher and report to the Supreme Council... Only actual control is the path of the alchemist. They have deviated from the alchemist. I can’t tolerate the glory of..."

"Douglas teacher really understands me, he agrees with my persistence, and asks me to believe that he is also a follower of Elements. The queen ant Alchemy Tower created by Maximo is just a stopgap measure. The ultimate goal of the Secret Order is still to persist in the research of the Void Creation technique, so that the alchemist can continue to inherit. "

"Douglas teacher assured that Alchemy Tower is not too problematic, and I officially participated in Maximo's research. But I didn't expect, Maximo asked a young and beautiful mage to answer my questions. Her name is Angelina, an Intermediate Mage, who is both Maximo's servant and his lover. There are many examples of the combination of imperial mages and alchemists, but elite alchemists only combine with elite elements. Maximo pretended to be dead, separated from the famous family of his own birth, and combined with an insignificant intermediate mage follower. It can be seen that Angelina is full of weight and is the key person of this research project. Angelina came forward to communicate with me in person, showing their sincerity to me. Hehe, they can’t do without the participation of the great Alchemist of Isox..."

"Angelina’s sorcery innate talent coincides with the laws of the Lord of Spirit World, and she hears the other’s whispers. , In the depths of the endless forest, find the small swarms of insects left behind by the opponent. The king of Spirit World was seriously injured, his self-will was almost exhausted, and he had no power to develop the number of insect race dependents, and he was about to fall completely. "

"This is the special feature of the King of Spirit World. Other Ancient Gods were silent at the end of the Twilight Era, otherwise Abyss Demon and Sanctuary Divine Race would not set foot in the material world. However, the King of Spirit World relies on the psychic connection of the insect race family members, struggling on whilst at death's door until the Moonlight... However, the disadvantage of the psychic connection is that the upper limit of the number of Gross swarms depends on the spirit of the Lord of Spirit World Fire intensity, and other descendant descendants created by Ancient God do not have a number of bottleneck. Ancient elves recorded that in the strongest period of the King of Spirit World, the number of Gros insect race was only about 20 million, while the number of ancient elves was 6 times that of them. Angelina discovered that the Gross Insect swarm was only less than two thousand in number. The queen's power was weakened, and only the Kunseed instinct remained, which could no longer be counted as a wise species. Ancient Gods such as Goddess of the Moon, Mother of the Earth, and Glutton King are now just dispersal of will, not fall. The king of Spirit World is really going to fall completely. Fortunately, Angelina found a descendant of Gros's insect race, she almost became Godslayer. "

"Angelina killed all the remaining Gros insect swarms, leaving behind an Insect Empress egg. Maximo tried to use this Insect Empress egg to create a special Alchemy Tower. The method they adopted was to ask an architect to divide the soul of the insect egg, and then seal the divided Ancient God soul fire in the elements made by Maximo In the rune crystal....... They all didn't expect, and they succeeded. Maximo and the others were ecstatic, and loaded the rune crystal on the side of the weaving will. This work must be done by Angelina. The law of her affinity overlaps with the authority of the Lord of Spirit World. You can use the element rune crystal to replace the Lord of Spirit World to control the Gross Insect Empress... consider Until the lifespan limit of the archmage is not more than 200 years old, once Angelina is gone, the Gros Swarm may reconsolidate the subject consciousness of the Lord of Spirit World. In order to prevent the Gold Insect group from getting out of control, Maximo and archmage decided to follow the rules of the Supreme Council to design the underlying structure of the element rune crystal. The Inspector Envoy cultivated by the Supreme Council can unlock the element rune crystal and force the spirit fire of the Gold Insect group to go out. "

"Soul studies belong to the branch of Law Domain. The work of loading the will side must be led by archmage. Although I know a little bit of will-side weaving, I am best at the field of element and bloodline evolution...No I know who the archmage is working with Maximo, but the Douglas teacher must know him. The teacher secretly dispatched an Inspector Envoy to the test site in the Endless Forest to inspect the Swarm Rune Crystal. He can indeed unravel the underlying structure of the rune crystal...I am sure that the teacher and Maximo will not make fatal mistakes on such a major issue. But I must send my own wizards and elemental envoys to take a look at the elemental rune crystal...my wife can do this task. "

"Riwen has set off. They rode the dragon eagle to fly all the way, and it will take two months to return at the earliest. I do not intend to waste this time. The number of alchemy insect races is limited, and the war mode is not limited to 600,000 units. Their individual strength is originally weaker than Abyss Demon. Maximo hopes that the alchemy insect race can self-destruct and improve. Their lethality. I can solve this problem. The body fluids of the old glue fire beetles will gradually turn into combustible oil. As long as this special bloodline law is parsed into the law of elements, the lifespan of the alchemical insect race is approaching the age limit, and their body fluids will turn into Glue fire grease can burn violently...Well, insect races over 13 years old can burn self-destruct, and insect races under 10 years old are not afraid of similar glue fires and prevent the entire insect swarm from being ignited by the fire... This design can help Maximo proved my ability and value and helped to improve Ruiwen’s right to speak, but I still have to keep a hand and will not provide a self-destruct design plan for the insect race alchemy unit...unless, they agree to Ruiwen’s proposal condition. "

Victor stopped writing, and there was a bit of bitterness in his eyes. Ant-Man digging holes is big enough, and they are not all afraid of fire. The lack of information has led to a huge defensive system in Centaur Hills. Loopholes. But at this point, it’s useless to be in a hurry. I hope that the information behind the ancient alchemists can find more weaknesses in Ant-Man.

He raised the quill pen and dipped it in ink, and continued to write:

"Riwen and my mage followers are back. What Maximo and Angelina said is true. The rune crystal that can dissolve the queen Alchemy Tower is sealed in the Converging Ground of the Endless Forest. , To ensure that it is effective for a long time...Maximo was very satisfied with the design plan I provided, but he could not provide me with the blood of Antiquity Giant Beast's inheritance, and only brought back a message to Ruiwen. Alchemist Bidlorek has a drop of the blood of the nightmare king’s inheritance. His Alchemy Tower was built at the convergence point of the Great Swamp in Needham... I’ve heard of the reputation of this alchemist. My mind is spent on the development of rune armor and rune weapons, and I always advocate the power of the elements to promote natural promotion... Hmph, this guy is simply a shame to the alchemist. I have no relationship with him, and I don’t want to be with such people. Deal with. With a message, Maximo wanted to get the self-destruct design of the insect race unit from me? This is absolutely impossible, unless he gives me the blood of the nightmare king's inheritance, otherwise his insect race unit can only burn, not self-destruct! "

"The small differences between me and Maximo do not affect our cooperation in other areas. The design of Insect Empress Alchemy Tower is novel and unique, which brings me a lot of inspiration. But the alchemist must abide by the basic principles of Void Creation and try to ensure that the alchemy unit is harmless to the empire. Maximo and I decided to reduce the template type of Gros's insect race, and only choose the most basic and primordial insect race form as the Insect Empress Alchemy Tower The only biological template... the six-limbed Gross insect race unit that can walk upright. "

That's right, Insect Empress Alchemy Tower is the current queen.

The next information is how Isox deduced the primordial form of Gros insect race, mixed Some daily trivia. About three years later, he and Maximo completed the design of the Gros insect race alchemy unit. The information came to an abrupt end. I don’t know what happened to him later, but left the memory storage crystal in the mist. Mountain Alchemy Tower until it was discovered by Victor.

The alchemist’s diary never mentioned that Ant-man would self-destruct. The self-destruct design of the human unit.

This does not seem to be too happy. Hundreds of thousands will only punch holes, and the Ant-Man who is not afraid of fire has already called the Golden Eye count adults can’t eat them.

Victor collected his notes, and sat alone at the desk for a long time thinking, until the sky turned white, he finally got up and left the study, summon followed, mounted the Swiftbird mount, and ran towards the Flatlake Town church .
