Chapter 103: Meeting
Most importantly, even after the consecutive fall of two "evil gods", those foreign demons still did not show the slightest sign of decline.
Clearly, even if two gods were lost, it didn't matter at all to those invading guys.
The meaning represented by this is chilling, meaning that behind the opponent, there is very likely more powerful power that has not yet appeared.
"According to the oracle, the number of 'foreign demons' who followed the foreign evil gods and took advantage of the broken plane barrier to invade is indeed not small." A priest sitting in the corner, wearing holy robes, said in a low voice, his voice carrying holy power.
"They are scattered everywhere like a plague, and have already caused no small damage to our kingdoms and tribes."
"The troublesome thing is," the dwarf elder stroked his beard, making a sound like muffled thunder, "most of the points where they landed are in the hinterland of our allied camp, but they are scattered so severely that it is difficult to catch them all in one net."
The human king also agreed deeply: "Since those foreign invaders who call themselves wizards intensified their offensive on the front line, most of our powerhouses are now involved, and it is very difficult to free up hands to deal with these guys who hide extremely deep like maggots in the bone."
The hall fell into a brief silence.
These scattered "wizards" are like countless fleas drilling around in the body. Although they are not very lethal, they are incomparably annoying.
And they are weakening their rear strength.
"How is the progress of reading the souls of those newly invading wizards?" The dragon king, who had been silent since just now, made a low sound.
Hearing this, everyone's vision subconsciously looked to one side of the round table.
A huge eyeball that looked like it had several tentacles was floating there quietly. It was one of the overlords of the underground world of the Elosia plane: the Demon Eye tribe.
As an intelligent being that once built an underground empire, although it naturally belongs to the evil category, it had to stand out and cooperate with other races under the crisis of the entire plane.
And as a naturally evil race, the Demon Eye is best at manipulating the consciousness of other creatures, and also good at extracting needed intelligence from the brains and souls of manipulated creatures.
"..." —It failed again." A slightly strange voice came from the eyeball.
If you look closely, it is not the Demon Eye itself speaking, but it is using its huge spiritual power to manipulate the surrounding air to resonate and simulate sound.
After all, there are few weaklings present, and its heart-to-heart transmission cannot break through the heart protection barriers of these people.
"We lost a total of three elder-level ones. It can basically be confirmed that even the weakest individuals among these foreign demons cannot obtain any relevant intelligence through methods such as reading the mind or devouring the brain, and will even be backlashed by them."
After the Demon Eye finished speaking, the others focused their eyes on a dark-skinned elf beside it.
The Dark Elf Queen waved her hand casually, but the simple action was full of soul-stirring charm power:
"Useless, whether it's torture or charm, they won't say it. The performance of those guys is very strange. They don't look like they have such strong willpower. There should be something hindering them from saying the relevant intelligence."
"In other words, even the weakest individuals among those 'wizards' have been set up with protection from the depths of their souls?"
"So troublesome, what is this? Could it be their racial talent ability?"
"Looking at the performance of those guys, it doesn't look like some kind of collective consciousness."
"According to what you mean, could it be that these guys were transformed according to the standards of invading the world when they were born?"
"Are you kidding?!"
"Everyone."
Just as the people present were arguing endlessly, suddenly, a young mage sitting at the end of the table, who had been silent, spoke.
He wore simple mage robes, but his eyes revealed wisdom beyond his age.
All the leaders showed respect when they saw this "young" mage.
Even some leaders of evil races showed respect in addition to fear when they saw this mage.
The young mage cleared his throat: "I have a suggestion. Since this is the case, why don't we offer a reward?"
Seeing everyone cast suspicious glances, he continued to explain: "Although the number of invading 'wizards' is large, compared to the batch on the front line, their strength is not strong and is still within the category that high-level adventurers can handle."
"The most troublesome part about them is that they are scattered and hidden everywhere in the hinterland. If you want to search, you must spend a lot of manpower and material resources. Since this is the case, why don't we directly mobilize an equally large number of adventurers."
"We can issue high rewards and list those scattered 'wizards' hidden in the hinterland as targets. In this way, we can completely mobilize the power of the Adventurers' Guild and let them take the initiative to encircle and suppress. As long as we are willing to spend enough price, we can mobilize enough manpower. Even if we can't kill them, we can greatly limit the actions of these invaders."
"More importantly," wisdom flashed in the mage's eyes, "in this process, the strength and loyalty of those adventurers who perform outstandingly in the rewards will be verified. We can directly recruit them into the internal parts of the armies of various races, or even fill them into various knight orders and battle groups to alleviate the pressure on the front line."
These words made the eyes of all the leaders present light up!
They were stuck in a habitual way of thinking. You must know that when those wizards first invaded, because their strength was too strong, the adventurers not only could not provide effective assistance but would even have the opposite effect.
After all, in a society with supernatural power, truly powerful adventurers had long been recruited as nobles, and the rest were just some crooked melons and cracked dates with average strength.
So much so that when dealing with this batch of newly invading wizards, they didn't think of them at the first time.
And this strategy can not only use the power of the people to clean up the "invading demons" but also supplement them with the fresh blood they urgently need and strengthen their military power.
"Wonderful!" The Orc chieftain slapped the table, an excited smile appearing on his rough face, "Those greedy adventurers, for the sake of gold coins, dare to do anything!"
"This idea is good." The Elf Queen also agreed softly, a trace of appreciation flashing in her eyes.
Finally, after a brief consultation, all the leaders agreed with this idea.
Rewards, accompanied by various orders, were issued from the palace and quickly spread to every Adventurers' Guild, mercenary tavern, and town bulletin board in the Elosia plane.
A "nationwide hunt" against wizard apprentices quietly kicked off.
