Prehistoric Calendar

Chapter 604, Kill three birds with one stone

Hao led everyone to run for nearly an hour. Including him, everyone was panting violently, especially children and women. They had almost no energy left. They were all lying on the ground softly, and they didn't even have the strength to get up.

Hao took a short breath from the distance, and immediately said to Mu: "Check the team immediately, confirm the number of dead, confirm the number of injured, and at the same time confirm the food, fresh water, medicine, workers..." At this point, Hao couldn't continue. , because this time things were really too hasty and sudden, except for a small amount of food and fresh water, there is nothing else, no, there are weapons and armor, but not enough, not many, not strong, no medicines and tools... Do you want to face the Great Desolate Continent with such an attitude?

not to mention……

Hao turned his head and looked in the direction of the Steel Fortress. The huge fortress can still be seen now. The current Steel Fortress has changed beyond recognition. The internal explosion has blown out many holes in the outer wall of the Steel Fortress, and there are even more green flames. The steel fortress was burning, and a pitch-black aura rose up. From the steel fortress, countless souls were absorbed by the pitch-black aura, hovering above the steel fortress and howling.

"The camp attacking this area is the underworld camp, which is a collective name for the planes below the direction of death, such as the underworld, the underworld, and the land of nine yins. The creatures there, no, are not creatures, and the existence there is the existence of death. The things they like It is the soul, and their energy source is also all the negative thoughts, all the bad emotions, as well as pain, wailing, despair, etc., which bind these souls together and put them into a device called the soul furnace, resulting in Explosive and terrifying energy." The dark elf woman stood beside Hao, and she also looked at the steel fortress in the distance and said.

Hao felt chills all over his body when he heard it. Although he had seen these things in books before, when he saw them with his own eyes, he realized that the horror was so deep in his bones. He couldn't imagine being captured by this melting pot of souls. Souls, what will they become in the end, or what will become, this is a more terrifying end than death, much more terrifying...

"Let's go, we don't have much time." Hao turned around, facing the dark elf girl, facing the two elf guards, facing the other eight elves who followed, and facing the non-commissioned officers such as Mu beside him, and Said to himself.

"Wait, wait a minute, God, they can't move anymore!" the dark elf woman immediately grabbed Hao and said, pointing at the humans.

Hao bowed his head slightly to the dark elf girl, and said respectfully: "My lord, go, just go, you don't need to keep running, but you have to go, you can't stop walking for a moment, until it is dark, we can go a little Safety, the emergence of the underworld camp means that with the steel fortress as the center, the negative energy here will continue to accumulate. For extraordinary professionals, it can still resist, but for non-extraordinary professionals, this is a huge negative energy. The energy radiation field, the closer you get, the more dangerous your life will be. If there is no protection, it will be fatal within twelve hours at most, and it is the kind of death that becomes an undead creature. If you go at this time, even if you go to death, you will die. It's better than that."

The dark elf girl let go of Hao, she understood that what Hao said was the most correct way, but seeing those women and children who couldn't move at all, how cruel would it take to force them to move on? where to go?
And Hao just sits like this, if someone really can’t walk, Hao will ask the people around him to help him up and continue walking, if he doesn’t even get up, but insists on lying down on the ground to rest, Hao’s method is to use a whip Beat, keep beating, until these human beings dare not stop at all, even if they are desperate, they will continue to walk.

Some of the elves showed resentment and indifference, but more people just ignored him. Only the dark elf woman watched Hao silently, watching his every move.

In this way, everyone continued on the road, and walked for a whole day. It was after dusk that day and when the sky began to darken, Hao finally gave the order to stop. By this time, at least half of the human crowd had died It was directly collapsed to the ground, or even directly appeared in a coma and shock.

Hao didn't pay attention to these comatose and shocking people, but ordered Mu to take the non-commissioned officers and their still-moving subordinates to light the fire for cooking, boil some hot water, etc., and at the same time, allocate half of them to guard the surroundings , and it wasn't until after all these were done that Hao walked towards the dark elf girl and her two guards.

"My lord, I know that there is a magic in the first-order magic called dissolving blood congestion. It is a very common magic that can dissipate the blood on the wound and improve blood circulation. I don't know if my lord knows this magic." Hao asked respectfully. The dark elf said.

Before the dark elf woman could finish speaking, the male guard shouted: "Human, remember your identity, do you want your lord to use magic for your human subordinates!?"

Hao lowered his head, still respectfully said: "My lord, magic is a very precious power, a magician is an extremely noble career path, it is indeed a waste to use it for us humans, but the current situation is that we may encounter it at any time. The army of the underworld camp, at least stragglers, even if they don't meet them, they will encounter wild beasts and even monsters on this wild continent. In this case, the number of people is an advantage, whether it is collecting food or investigating intelligence , even as cannon fodder..."

What did the male elf guard want to say, but the dark elf woman waved her hand and said, "I don't have the blood stasis technique."

Hao's complexion sank, and he nodded slightly. At this time, the dark elf girl said, "But I have a second-order magic group self-healing technique, which can speed up the body's metabolism and improve the body's self-healing power. Is this magic feasible?"

Hao immediately raised his head with surprise on his face, and then bowed his head slightly and respectfully said: "Thank you sir, they marched in a hurry for a day today, those people I have been training are barely any problem, but women and children are not enough, please use magic for them Bar."

The dark elf girl nodded, and she said to the male elf guard who still had an unruffled face: "You, you are all the elders of the elf clan, and you also live in the elf clan, and you have never left the empire to come to the prehistoric continent. Yes, in the current situation, having more people is a help to us, and I am a second-level magician, so I can cast five second-level magic, eleven first-level magic, and one second-level magic a day. She followed behind Hao and walked towards the crowd of humans.

The human crowd is exhausted now, even the 500 people who have been trained harshly by Hao for a long time, most of them can't get up now, this time the rapid march is much longer than the previous few times, and they still run before walking After an hour, the people who can still persist are those who have improved their physical fitness brought about by the martial arts movements taught by Hao, otherwise no one here will be able to stand up.

Hao’s expression remained stern and unchanged, but when he saw those women and children lying on the ground, especially those who were in coma and shock, his heart felt as if they were being tightened. After the dark elf girl came to the scene, Immediately started chanting magic spells, followed by gestures, and then magic power. These are the standard procedures of magic. Unless you become a high-level magician and start to involve various super magic skills, otherwise you cannot avoid this process. Even some large or advanced magics require various materials to be used.

With the use of magic, a fresh breath fell on almost all the human beings at the scene. This breath was not very obvious, just like blowing a breath of air-conditioning in the hot summer, but as this breath fell into the body, all Humans felt their whole bodies start to become hot, and then their legs, which had been so stiff that they couldn't feel it at all, began to ache, and became more and more sore.

Hao also felt this, and he is now at the Ming Jin level in martial arts, and he is particularly sensitive to the physical body. When this breath enters the body, the breath immediately dissipates, turning into streams of heat to stimulate the blood in the body. Flesh and meridians stimulate the internal organs and bone marrow at the same time. This magic alone almost activates all the organs in the body, and this is not the kind of technique that leaves hidden wounds in martial arts, it is just a simple one. It's just magic, with no side effects, no harm to the body, and quick results. In just a few breaths, Hao felt his body seemed to be a little more relaxed.

(Sure enough, it is the road of the legal system that stands at the apex of all extraordinary roads. Just such a magic can solve the biggest problem now. Without this magic, at least 50 of these tribesmen may die, even if they don’t Even if they die, they will be disabled, but such a second-order magic has saved their lives... Magic...)
Hao sighed in his heart, but he thanked the dark elf girl immediately, and the dark elf girl looked at Hao quietly and said, "God, we are all on the same boat now, so don't call me sir in the future. My name is Ai Strang Shortton, you can call me Ai."

Hao immediately said: "Don't dare, Sir took such good care of me back then, how can you call him by his name, not to mention that the Lanxiutton family is a famous marquis family of the Elven Empire, even I know the honorific title of the Southwest Shield of the Elven Empire, then I'm afraid it's for the name of your lord's family, so I definitely don't dare to call you by his name."

The two guards following Ai Yi didn't look good when Ai cast magic. At this time, their faces looked better, and Ai Yi thought for a while and said, "Is it for the name of the family? Then you call Let me be Miss Ai, after all, it is no longer a superior-subordinate relationship, and here you are the person who leads the largest number of people, you call me an adult, I can’t command your people, so it’s decided.”

This time, Hao didn't say anything more, and he said respectfully: "Miss Ai Yi, please wait a moment, I told them to prepare dinner and bring it to you. The food may not be very rich, but it will definitely be done. clean."

Ai Yi said: "It is very lucky to be able to have a bite to eat at this time and not become an undead creature or be pressed into the soul furnace. Then we will discuss the next move after we have dinner. "

There is nothing to say at the moment, everyone is actually tired all day, even extraordinary professionals, they are tired from the whole day's trek, after all, the most powerful person on the scene is Ai's second-level magician, who followed There were high-level professionals who came, but they were all high-level border guards, and they all returned to Steel Fortress later, so the strongest here is Ai.

Everyone was resting. Hao dragged his tired body and instructed the clansmen to drink water for the unconscious people, and organized them to take turns cooking and resting. After the food was ready, he even served the richest part of it to all the elves Among them, Ai Yi has more wild vegetables in his food.

Although Ai Yi was born in a marquis family, her behavior is not squeamish at all. On the contrary, she has a kind of neatness in the army. After eating all the food quickly, she began to meditate. After finishing, she waited quietly for Hao's arrival.

When Hao arrived, Ai, two elf guards, and the remaining eight elves had already stayed here, and they did not bring any tents in the wild. Fortunately, Ai is a magician, and all It seems that they have learned a lot of magic. They found a big tree nearby, and Ai directly used magic to turn this tree into a tree house, which could barely accommodate 11 of them, but there was no furniture inside. Barely better than humans.

After Hao arrived, Ai Yi pointed at the floor of the tree house, and the floor of the tree house was extended and turned into a wooden table, and then Ai Yi recited a few spells on the wooden table, and suddenly a Sub-three-dimensional map comes.

"This is where we are now." Ai Yi tapped lightly on the map, and a light immediately lit up on the map.

"This is the Iron Fortress, this is the border of the Elven Empire..."

Ai Yi clicked and dragged on the map, and suddenly the whole map became clear. She said at the same time: "Steel Fortress has a total of 170 million troops, including 6000 professionals, and 130 and [-] high-level professionals. There are four legendary professionals, one demigod professional...the demigod profession is Commander-in-Chief Gunzel, but it is estimated that he has already betrayed."

Speaking of this, Ai Yi said: "I used my magic eye to check the border of the Elf Empire, and the green flame is still burning, and it still covers all the range that my magic eye can see. Within a day's travel range, we cannot cross the national border, so now we can only continue walking along the national border."

Many elves nodded, but they didn't want Hao to say directly: "Miss Ai Yi, I don't think we can continue walking along the border."

Many elves immediately looked at Hao, and several of them scolded directly, and some even told Hao to get out, there is no place for him to speak here, but Ai Yi said: "My God, tell me what you think... I know that you are a person with an idea in your heart, since you came to the refugee camp, everything you do has a purpose, since you have this idea now, you might as well say it for us to refer to."

The rest of the elves are still there, but since Ai Yi, who has the highest status here, said so, they just looked at Hao coldly, and Hao was not polite, walked directly to the wooden table, pointed to the map and said: "Miss Ai Yi , Regarding the topographic map here, I have read it in the book my master gave me, so I have two questions. The first question is, can the underworld camp come to the real world through the gap? The second question Then, why would that great power from the underworld camp block the borders of the Elven Empire?"

Many elves were looking at each other. At this time, a tall female elf said: "Human, I have read your information. You are a human slave raised by Lord Iluvita, so you probably have read many books. , but you are human after all and cannot learn magic, so it is normal for you not to know these things. I am a magic apprentice, and I can tell you, whether it is a demon from the bottomless abyss, a demon from the Nine Layers of Hell, or a demon from Hell , or the undead creatures of Hades, they all exist in the lower plane, how could they easily break through to the real world? If it were so easy, this world would have been invaded by these monsters long ago, and they have been invaded for a long time, so they are not at all Maybe you can easily come to the Great Desolate Continent, come to the real world, understand, human?"

Hao didn't care about the contempt in the female elf's mouth, so he continued to ask: "Since this is the case, how did these ghost camps' cross-gap magic teleportation arrays come about?"

The female elf immediately said with disdain: "Where did it come from? Isn't it just made by those traitors?"

At this time, Ai Yi frowned and said: "No, that's not right! Even if the commander-in-chief betrayed, even the four legends betrayed, or the entire border guards in the fortress betrayed, they couldn't easily put Ming The faction is summoned!"

The tall female elf was stunned, and she said in surprise: "Why not... Your lord means relative conservation!?"

Ai Yi nodded and said: "This is the first principle of magic, and it's not bad if you can recall it."

The tall slender female elf blushed immediately, and Ai said to Hao: "In the field of magic, one of its cores is the theory of relative conservation, that is, the effect of magic is different from the magic power paid or the materials used. , and the level of magic has a constant relationship, so when we magicians want to use super magic skills, we will pay extra magic power or spiritual power as a balance, and we must give the lower plane, or even the more exaggerated low-latitude existence to When it is summoned, the amount of effort required cannot be settled by mere magic power or spiritual power. If it is just to summon a familiar with two lower planes or the like, it is okay to say that it only needs to consume more gems or other things. But if you want to summon the lower plane existence of a legion, then you have to do a blood sacrifice, that is to completely consume the body, soul, etc. of life, and it's not just one or two lives, but a complete Tens of thousands of lives are enough, and a magic circle will be used during this period, and a lot of equipment will need to be consumed.”

"In other words, in the steel fortress where everyone is watching, unless everyone, including me, betrays, it is impossible to complete all this quietly. What's more, the traitors only betrayed, they are not crazy, even if Some people have gone crazy, and it is impossible for millions of people to go crazy? Could it be that they have to use themselves as sacrifices, sacrifice themselves to summon the legion of the lower plane?"

When Ai Yi said this, she looked at Haodao: "The answer to the first question is this. It cannot appear out of thin air. There must be a large number of sacrifices or massacres, and it is near the border. You can ask this question, I think you should have guessed it? I don’t know the answer to the second question, you can tell your answer.”

Hao looked at Ai, and at the rest of the elves, he pointed to the three-dimensional map and said: "Combining the covenant signed by the ancestors of the nobles mentioned by the adults, and the ancestors of the nobles being backlashed by the Styx oath , in fact, the situation is already very obvious, the other party... is the underworld camp, perhaps including the abyss camp, as to whether there are other lower planes is not clear, but at least these two camps definitely exist, they use a A strategy of killing three birds with one stone."

"Three birds with one stone?" All the elves, including Ai, repeated this phrase.

Hao said with his fingers: "First of all, the ancestors of the nobles had to protect the human race due to the restrictions of the covenant, which would arouse the disgust of the middle and lower classes of the nobles, but in fact it was only limited to disgust, and the ancestors of the nobles, as well as the nobles It's not that the upper echelons of the nobles don't know this, so they limit human beings beyond the national borders, and just use refugee camps as shelters. At most, it can be regarded as a joke on weekdays, scolding a few high-level officials, which is really nothing."

All the elves nodded slightly, and the fact is the same. It was indeed the case at the beginning. The middle and lower classes of the elves used their own race's wealth to protect humans, especially humans. The reputation is so bad that it is almost like mice and cockroaches. This did dissatisfy the middle and lower levels of some big elves, but it was only limited to dissatisfaction, and the situation did not become very bad.

Hao said at this time: "Here, I have a guess, that is, the ancestor of the nobles was unable to issue oracles due to certain things, or the frequency of issuing oracles was greatly reduced, and he could not even know the specific situation within the nobles. Is that right?"

All the elves looked at each other, and the tall female elf looked at Hao curiously, and she said: "Our ancestor was injured in a previous battle, although it was not a fatal injury, and he was not destroyed, but Right now, the Ten Thousand Clans War will start at any time, and Zu will fall into a semi-slumber to speed up his recovery, so the oracle of Zu has indeed rarely appeared recently, you are right."

Hao nodded and continued: "The problem actually lies here. Among the holy gods of the nobles... there must be some people who have betrayed the ancestors of the nobles."

After saying these words, many of these elves changed their expressions drastically, and even some elves planned to scold Hao, but in the end they didn't speak, but stared at Hao closely to see what he would say next.

Hao paused for a moment, and then continued: "During the brief slumber of the ancestors of the nobles, and even the ancestors of the nobles, some of the nobles, or some holy gods rebelled, and they concealed the situation of the nobles from the ancestors and clans of the nobles. , their forces, some lurking power-controlling forces, began to control public opinion. At the beginning, it was unlikely to be overdone. It was estimated that some of the human beings were so inferior, how human beings were disorderly, how human beings were uncivilized, and how human beings were How is it bad, or coveting the wealth, civilization, or women of the elves?"

The faces of all the elves became serious. They recalled the past few years. Indeed, at some point, newspapers, various novels, or various memoirs began to appear all kinds of stories about the inferiority of human beings. With lewd plots and messages.

Hao continued: "Then, in the newspapers or other public opinion information, it gradually appeared that humans and elves are not reproductively isolated, how humans pollute the elves' genes, and how mixed-blood elves seize the public resources of the elves, and then gradually replace pure elves. The blood elves, gradually, will become more and more exaggerated, and there will be mixed-blood elves, and even human beings, sayings, discussions, and novels to drive out the elves and exterminate the elves, right?"

"Then, the newspapers began to show what bad things humans did. At first, they killed some wild animals that the elves liked, such as various beautiful birds, or burned a certain forest, or killed solitary animals. Horned beasts and the like, and then, there are reports of human groups acting to kill a single or some elves, playing with them, and the ending is often that the elves are killed, eaten, and rescued Elves are nothing, right?"

Speaking of this, Hao sneered and said: "At this point, the middle and lower elves among the elves, some people who are famous in a certain town or in a certain field, will start to stand up and discuss the issue of human beings, and whether the elves The discussion about protecting human beings should continue to accumulate resentment and incite hatred among the middle and lower classes, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, the middle and lower classes of the elves are separated from humans by hundreds of thousands of miles, and all human beings are still outside the border. None, how come there is such a big hatred!? I dare to assert that, in fact, the hatred of the middle and lower classes of the elves may not be as great as you think. A large part of them have a herd mentality, and some of them are represented .”

Many elves were stunned, and the way they looked at Hao began to change gradually, but Hao didn't notice it for a while.

Hao continued: "In fact, this part is not the result, the next step is to guide, let some human beings 'unintentionally' enter the border, and then 'unintentionally' conflict with the elves, Of course, it is basically only possible for humans to kneel down and allow themselves to be slaughtered, but it is certainly impossible in public opinion. Basically, humans will steal, rob, rape, etc., and then the elves civilians will block, get injured, die, or be killed... …In short, the incitement will continue, and that's pretty much the script."

"And the upper echelon of the nobles has also discovered this clue, but they can't contact the ancestors and ancestors of the aristocrats. If they contact other holy gods, they may be told to 'let nature take its course', but the upper echelons of the aristocrats are not idiots. They definitely couldn't let nature take its course, so there was a scene of legislation, but without the support of the holy gods, without the direct oracle of the ancestors and ancestors, such legislation was the fuse. Of course, Without me and this group of trained human refugees, then this fuse is just a long dark fuse, but because of me, this fuse must be detonated immediately gone."

At this time, an elf asked, "What do you mean by killing three birds with one stone?"

Hao said: "Three birds with one stone, the first one is the ancestor of the elves of the nobles, she has a covenant with us humans, once she violates it, she will be eroded by the river Styx immediately, and the second one is to be slaughtered by the hands of the elves." In fact, my lords, many times, many people don’t actually intend to betray, but after inadvertently committing a betrayal, then they have no choice but to betray. This is the second eagle, as for the third eagle, it is us human."

The elf who just asked the question immediately sneered: "I can understand the first eagle and the second eagle, so what is the third eagle? How can you human beings be regarded as a first eagle? What are they thinking about you humans?"

"life."

Hao said calmly: "We human beings have no merits, only this life is still there, and combined with what Miss Ai Yi and this adult said before, to summon the legions or lives of the next plane, you must need enough sacrifices And sacrifices, and these sacrifices and sacrifices... are us humans!"

"Inciting the elves to massacre human beings caused the ancestors of the nobles to be devoured by the river Styx. At the same time, when the elves saw the river Styx appearing and the ancestors of the nobles were devoured, they knew that they had betrayed them, and they could never turn back. Even if they look back, the ancestors of the nobles will only be cleaned by thunder, it is impossible to let them go, even if they die, they will not be forgiven, their souls will suffer for thousands of years, so they have to rebel, and they will continue to rebel , they are the group who are least willing to bring back the ancestors of the nobles, even before that, they are the group that respects the ancestors of the nobles the most. At the same time, the humans they slaughtered will become sacrifices to summon the army of the next plane Human flesh, flesh, and soul will all be sacrificed to contribute to the arrival of the underworld camp, even the demon camp, and the devil camp, and it will kill three birds with one stone.

Many elves were shocked, Ai Yi looked at Hao firmly, and immediately asked: "Then why do you want to block the national border, I'm afraid we are not strong enough for Da Neng to block such a long national border?"

Hao pointed at the map, swiped his finger up and down along the map, and said at the same time, "If I'm not mistaken, this is actually not for blocking, but just a gesture..."

"Status?" Many elves didn't understand even more. They looked at each other, completely unaware of what Hao was talking about.

Hao looked at them, and said seriously: "The enemy, no matter if it is the dark camp, or a demon, a devil, or something else, their plan is..."

"Siege the point to fight for aid, and this fire is not to block anything, but to show the outside world. Look, the elves are under siege, the elves are surrounded, come quickly, come quickly."

As Hao said so, he looked at the map with deep eyes and said: "In the camp that attacks the elves..."

"There are capable people."
