The Chief looked interested: "Tell me about it?"
Lieutenant: "The war lasted much longer than we estimated, and we also conducted a lot of research on our opponents during the nearly 100 years of war. The so-called elemental magic is part of these research results"
Chief: "So you started to develop this ability in yourselves as well?"
Lieutenant: "To be precise, the development of the brain, we have succeeded in creating a biological CPU and a brainwave amplifier by exploiting the 99% of the brain that is not being used. Through the cooperation of these two systems we can perform the so-called spiritual and elemental magic, and of course there is no need to recite any spell."
Chief: "So can I, too, be like you?"
Lieutenant: "Unfortunately, only combat types have this function, and it cannot be inherited, it is all formed by acquired transformation. You belong to the strategic dominance type biotic CPU so you do not possess this function."
Chief: "Hey, hey, I'm a human being, not a CPU."
Everyone ignored him, and Hahn continued to ask, "So is this the same principle for the darkness-based magic of the demons?"
Lieutenant: "No, that is generated by the excitation of its own bioreactor, which we cannot imitate because of the physiological structure."
Hahn continued to ask: "But don't humans also have dark and light magic? They do not belong to the type of magic you just mentioned, so what is the source of this energy? " Lieutenant: "Usually humans call these two types of magic summoning system magic, do you know why? " The people shook their heads.
Lieutenant: "Initially we sent a small number of elite personnel against the enemy who could send structure-specific coded data via brainwave signals to connect to active defense or maintenance devices we had placed underground or in interdimensional space when we left the home planet to launch sub-nuclear attacks or ultra-long-range healing on designated targets. Some members defected and revealed the codes to their adversaries, allowing them to use these systems as well. Later on this process was also mythologized and eventually became what you see now."
Chief: "Can't you destroy these systems?"
Lieutenant: "It was tried but failed. On the one hand, it is due to enemy interference and burial too deep, on the other hand, it is because these systems are designed to maintain long-term operation specially designed to self-repair function. Unless they are completely destroyed, the attack will have no effect at all."
Chief: "Are you the same race as the humans on this continent?"
Lt: "Basically the DNA match is 99.96%, it should be the same ancestor, possibly caused by the same kind left on the home planet before we did the interstellar expedition mixing with other local subhuman species."
Chief: "So are you of the same race as the Earthlings?"
Lieutenant: "No, this one is just a chance coincidence in the evolution of biology."
At this point, there was nothing more to be asked from the lieutenant's mouth. So the discussion about magic people also had to end, the difference is only the mood of each person, the chief because he could not explore the way to go home and doubly frustrated, Hahn does not know what to think, Yas is thinking in his mind how to use this principle to improve his combat skills.
Just as Hahn and the others were talking about the principles of magic, an extremely confidential meeting was taking place in a secret room deep inside the Imperial Palace of the Lanfaxit Empire, thousands of miles away. The participants of the meeting included the Imperial Emperor - His Majesty Salig Dori Goethe, the Imperial Chancellor - Yossi Peled, the Imperial Marshal - Erika Shelem, the Grand Magus - Uri O, Crown Prince - Amir Dori Goethe.
His Majesty Goethe: "Gentlemen, the information and portraits before you now are the people who protected Duke Ronald, the Tiger of Silman, from danger and returned to the capital of Silman in time this time."
Marshal Erica looked at the information in his hands and said, "They are not very old! The oldest one is probably only thirty-two or thirty-three years old."
Chancellor Jossi reminded the marshal, "You'd better read the details first."
Marshal Erica: "On the 7th day of escape, the first encounter took place in the Forest of Misty Pines, the opponents 120 men were all destroyed in 3 minutes. Day 11 of the escape was sniped by the dark elves, the man named Hahn blocked alone, the first sword cut off the dark elves along with the tree where they were hiding, before that the dark elves did not attack or counterattack." Seeing here the marshal's original contemptuous expression disappeared. Even the Prince and the Grand Magus, who were not very concerned at first, picked up the information beside them.
The imperial marshal continued to read down: "Instead of rejoining his companions that night, Hahn stealthily ambushed the other pursuers under the gathering snow next to the main road. He let go of the initial eight killers led by Tiago. In the morning of the next day, while the Archmage Leneusk canceled the defensive boundary, ready to advance the launch of the earth system advanced magic [landslide], when suddenly burst up from the snow to kill from behind, a fatal sword." The face of the Imperial Grand Magus, who had been acting calmly, changed slightly.
Marshal Erica looked at His Majesty Goethe, who said in a deep voice: "Continue reading"
The imperial marshal had to continue reading: "Then confronted the paladin Omineth head-on and cut off the paladin Omineth's sword at the cost of a minor injury, winning but not taking his life, and only striking the sword once."
Read here, the imperial marshal finally can not read on, looking at the emperor did not know what to say is good.
His Majesty Goethe was not making it difficult for the marshal and said, "Let's talk about what we think about this man. Amir you speak first."
Prince Amir looked at the crowd had to harden his head and said, "This man's martial arts skills are very high!"
The crowd waited for his next, but after a long time did not hear a voice.
His Majesty Goethe held back his anger and prompted, "What else?"
Prince: "No~~ no more"
His Majesty Goethe finally broke out and yelled at the prince, "Get out of here, useless piece of shit."
The prince hurriedly got up and ran towards the door, and before he could runway the door he heard His Majesty shout behind him, "Come back!" . The prince hurriedly ran to the table again and carefully stood in front of His Majesty.
His Majesty explained to the Prince "If you tell what you heard today, I'll take your life. And what are you running for? How many times have I told you to stay calm at all times! Go down."
The prince heard the last sentence like a great pardon, rushed to escape. Look at the expressions of the people in the hall as if they were already used to this kind of result.
Seeing the Prince's departing back Goethe sighed and said to the crowd, "Let's get on with it! The marshal will start with your opinion."
Marshal Erica said: "The ability of the person named Hahn inside the person protecting the Duke has far exceeded the strength of a mercenary, but as far as the current information is concerned ~ ~ ~" the implication is that one cannot tell where he came from.
Grand magician Uri O continued: "There is also the female magician, look at the age of just 20 something, but has the strength of a senior magician, while in the launch of magic does not seem to need to recite the incantation. I have checked the records of magicians in the past 500 years, there are 3 people with this ability, basically through magic formations or spells to achieve this effect, the last one has passed away 100 years ago. It is certain that these 3 magicians have nothing to do with this person. With her age in time will certainly become a magician."
Imperial Marshal: "As for the red-haired teenager to nothing strange ability can only be considered excellent. On the contrary, the teenager who was made chief to nothing special." Once someone said that the first born tiger and cat is often difficult to distinguish, a few years later now a few people in the secret room, precisely because today, simply see Yas as a kitten, and pay a heavy price, of course now no one knows.
His Majesty Goethe smiled and said to the Chancellor, "Let's not be difficult for our Lord Marshal and talk about your opinion."
Imperial Chancellor Yossi: "As far as our information shows, there are several doubts as follows: First Silman's Tiger arrived in Sunset on February 1, the school of the priest of the Virgin Mary.
February 3 received news of his father's critical illness and began to return home. And February 2, the four people on the information appeared in its return to the country on the road to the town Bastauni, February 15, Silman's Tiger in Rodman escort to this town and spent 1. 50,000 gold coins to hire them as bodyguards, the timing is too coincidental."
Yossi continued: "Suspicion two, the seemingly lustful, incompetent chief, the full name of Spike.Don, according to our scouts report is that he just listened to the mercenary union employees casually mentioned that we were going to send [Sacred Knights] to save the Duke, and saw through our country for the assassination of the Duke's plan to deliberately take a default attitude. Also he was the one who designed to kill three of his opponents despite the fact that his side was almost completely defeated except for Hahn. The most important point is that that female magician is not only the role of a mere magician, but also directly commanded the specific implementation of the protection action, this person is actually still Spike. Don's ministry."
Yossi paused to let everyone digest what just happened before continuing: "Suspicion three, these four people all received strict military training, before they appeared in the town Bastauni, there is no record of their experience."
Hearing this the imperial marshal also seems to understand the crux of the matter, interjected to "that is to say, these four people are simply that boy deliberately arranged." All of them nodded meaningfully. A thousand miles away, the lieutenant cry without tears, while the chief was in bed, shouting I want to go home.
Yossi continued: "Now almost certainly the Duke himself as bait, pretending to be hastily ambushed to attract most of the attention, including us, secretly arranged elite protection, while sending long-arranged military personnel to occupy various key points, so after returning to the country he easily suppressed most of the resistance, taking the throne is now a foregone conclusion. The whole process shows an extremely skilled political maneuver and bold and risky way of action."
Finally, His Majesty Goethe made a concluding speech: "From the entire escape process of the Tiger of Silman, he is thoughtful and far-sighted, never ordinary goods, and must be prevented in advance."
The imperial marshal asked, "Is it possible to recruit these four men over?"
The chancellor replied, "Initially we also did this idea but then it was rejected, the reason being that people of their ability could be willing to hide for the duke until now to reveal themselves. It is clear that their loyalty to the Duke is absolutely impeccable."
Grand Magus Uri-O: "The Tigers of Silman are indeed ambitious tigers and wolves!"
Chancellor: "Judging from the Duke's performance this time, his goals and abilities are definitely not limited to the Duchy of Silliman. It is certain that in the near future will definitely challenge the authority of His Majesty the Emperor. We must start preparing preventive measures as soon as possible, especially not to be forced to go to war on both sides. The Duchy of Russell, his ally, must be eliminated before the Duchy of Silliman can act. That is, the homeland of his future Empress, Princess Sylia."
Meanwhile, another powerful empire on the continent, the Shackleton Empire and one of the parties involved in the incident, the Duchy of Russell, are also closely watching the activities of the forces in the northern part of the continent, the capital of the Duchy of Silman, Odin, has become a place where spies, intelligence traffickers and adventurers gather.
Thousands of miles away from the Lanfaxit Empire or the Duke who is now fighting for power, and the few mercenaries who want to quickly leave the barracks to complete their mission, and even the Shackleton Empire and the Duchy of Sillman, they have only one goal in their eyes that is the capital of the Duchy of Sillman, Odin, whether because of Goethe's misunderstanding, or the Duke's intention, or even just a historical coincidence. The forces at the center of the vortex are either aware or about to realize that war cannot be avoided in the still somewhat harsh spring breeze brewing. Historians are divided as to who was ultimately responsible for starting the war in the first place.
Just when the chief and others were bored and had nothing to do in the barracks, things took a dramatic turn when the second prince voluntarily gave up resistance and committed suicide by taking poison inside his own residence, while the first prince was placed under house arrest in the royal palace from the beginning by the royal guard loyal to the duke, and had no chance to perform at all from the beginning to the end. But as far as people who know the first prince say, he himself has no ability to perform. So that the end is just a pawn of his second brother. But the kingdom was lucky to avoid a civil war catastrophe. The Duke also took the throne as a matter of course.
One day when the chief was dawdling at the entrance of the barracks, he suddenly saw the yellow dirt rolled up by horses in the distance, running in front of the procession, apparently it was none other than the drop-bearded Rodman.
