Chapter 312 Total War (1)

The magician paused for a moment, then stopped and slowly paid attention to the situation around him.

The singing voice that came from nowhere began to become clearer and clearer.

To be honest, this is a very beautiful song, both in terms of the song itself and the graceful singing voice.

Following the singing, the magician unknowingly came to a lake.

I saw countless bewitching women on the shore of the lake, singing to their heart's content. And when they saw the magician coming to the lake, they used their singing to seduce his mind.

Perhaps because of the singing, the magician walked towards the women unconsciously.

Just when he was about to approach them, countless huge whirlpools suddenly appeared in the originally calm lake water. Countless monsters rushed out of the whirlpools and pounced on the unresponsive magician with bared teeth and claws.

And the women who were originally on the small island in the middle of the lake also transformed into extremely ugly monsters...

Just when the monster's claws were about to hit the magician, a light blue magic ripple suddenly bloomed around the magician.

Then, a huge whirlwind suddenly erupted with the magician as the center. The originally arrogant monster let out bursts of screams before disappearing without a trace.

Not only that, the original lake, clouds and mist, and everything in sight disappeared out of thin air, leaving only an empty stone beach and trees swaying in the breeze.

"That's enough, Elesis. Stop fooling around."

The magician said calmly, as if he knew exactly what was happening in front of him.

"Really, Merlin, you have no sense of humor. You are always so boring." A voice as sweet as a nightingale sounded behind the magician.

Merlin didn't say anything, just turned around slowly.

At this moment, standing in front of Merlin was a woman wearing a dark green magic robe and holding a silver staff.

Her short blond hair, nearly perfect figure, arrogant expression, and the charm and temptation exuded in her blue eyes are enough to make anyone who sees her for the first time marvel.

However, the expression on Merlin's face did not change much, and he still looked coldly at the woman who was definitely a beauty in the world.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and a trace of helplessness flashed across Elesis's face. With the breeze, her whole body floated gently, and then landed behind Merlin.

Elesis's hands gently hugged Merlin from behind, and her whole body was almost pressed against him.

"Really, you always have such a dead expression every time we meet. But I just like you like this." Elesis lay on Merlin's back and said softly.

"That's enough, now is not the time to do such a thing. I came here this time because I have something to ask you." Merlin still had a cold tone, and then he reached out and pulled away Elesis's arm from holding him.

Then he took out the badge that Edward gave him from his pocket.

"That's it, and what I asked you to predict for me last time..."

"Okay, no need to say more. I know everything you want to ask, including the badge you brought this time."

"Then is what I predicted true?"

"It can be said to be basically the same. And..." Elesis also stopped smiling, paused and continued, "That girl will be related to the fate of the entire continent. If there are no accidents, she will eventually lead to the destruction of the entire continent.

.”

"What did you say?!" After hearing this, Merlin's face immediately showed an expression of shock. He calmed down and continued to ask, "Do we have to end her life immediately? Is there no other way?"

"Unfortunately, Merlin, that is indeed the case. I know it will be painful for you to make this decision.

But you don’t know that as a prophet, I, as a prophet, often suffer more than you.

Knowing the changes in the future but unable to make any changes, she could only watch the situation unfold silently. Alas..." Elesis sighed and continued, "Even if the girl dies now, it will only delay the entire continent.

It’s just time for destruction.

And according to the prophecy, it will not exceed 10 years at most. Just like Cleleus four hundred years ago, all he can do is delay the time.

And if she doesn't die now, she will push Sebion to complete destruction within two years, and the reason will still be her death.

No matter what we do now, the fate of destruction cannot be changed, everything is already doomed."

"Then what would have happened to this world if she had not died when Sebion was destroyed as you said?"

Merlin was a little reluctant and continued to ask.

"Well... there are many aspects of her fate that even I can't see clearly. I don't know how she can avoid that inevitable disaster.

If she can really survive, the fate of the entire continent will plunge into chaos and darkness. It is a dark and unknown future that even I cannot see through."

"A future that you can't even see through? Are there things in the world that you can't see through either?" Merlin questioned Elesis's words.

"Of course, I'm not a god." Elesis smiled bitterly and picked up a leaf on the ground: "Looking at this leaf, the so-called fate is just like this leaf.

It also comes from one main meridian, but it has countless branches. Although I have the eye of foresight, I can only judge the general direction, and it is impossible to foresee the result of each branch."

"If that girl hadn't died, it might have accelerated the continent's destruction, or it might have delayed the destruction, or maybe...sigh." Elesis finally let out a long sigh and stopped talking.

"You mean that as long as her future is changed, Sebion's fate will change. Is that true?" Merlin's tone became a little urgent.

"This is the principle, but no matter how the future changes, it will be an unknown darkness like chaos."

"I don't care how dark the unknown fate you talk about is, but if it can really change the fate of destruction that the entire continent is about to face, even if it is a one in ten thousand chance, I will give it a try.

Tell me the cause of the incident that destroyed the continent."

"Merlin, I can't tell you what happened, I'm very sorry.

But if you really do that, you will pay a huge price! Have you really thought about it?" Elesis was a little surprised by Merlin's words, but she still said calmly.

After seeing Merlin nod firmly, she finally sighed, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Then he said: "If you really want to do that, I will tell you the details.

There is an intersection between you and that girl's fate that I cannot see clearly.

If something changes at that point, it could affect her future."

Then Elesis shook the staff in her hand, and a vivid picture suddenly appeared in front of her and Merlin.

"That place is? Impossible! How could it be where? Also, could that thing be..."

"That's right. That is indeed something passed down among you magicians, something that only exists in legends.

And it is the only unknown intersection point between you and that girl's destiny. If you can let her get that thing, maybe her future will change."

"I understand. No matter what the cost, I must find it. Thank you, Elesis." Merlin said and turned to leave.

Seeing Merlin about to leave, Elesis couldn't help but call out to him.

"Wait a minute, Merlin. Are you... are you sure you really want to do that? You will pay a heavy price, probably... probably your life."

After Merlin heard her words, he was stunned for a moment. Then he quickly turned around and said in an extremely firm tone: "No matter how much it costs, as long as tragedy has not happened, I must try. Even if I

No matter the cost of my life, this is the responsibility I should shoulder."

After saying that, Merlin turned back and strode towards the exit of the canyon, leaving behind a sad-looking Elesis.

Watching Merlin's figure slowly retreating away, Elesis's face lost its original arrogance.

She just stared blankly at Merlin slowly disappearing from her sight, and then said to herself gloomily: "What a stupid man, you will really get killed if you do this."

After a long time, she suddenly thought of something, and then quickly laid out a strange magic circle on the ground. With the light emitted by the magic circle, Elesis seemed to see something.

"By the way, maybe, maybe this can work. Merlin, since you are willing to risk your own life and change the fate of this world into unknown chaos, then I will also take a gamble. Maybe everything can be saved.

room."

Elesis said and put away the magic circle again, and then her graceful figure quickly disappeared into the surrounding mist.

——

In February 671 of the Creation Calendar, the Phylician Empire completely ignored the opposition of the Otto Alliance and the Free Alliance and officially took over the mercenary kingdom that was already in chaos.

At this point, the largest kingdom that had stood on the mainland for hundreds of years had come to a halt.

In March 671 of the Creation Calendar, the Phylician Empire declared war on the Otto Alliance and the Free Alliance.

Led by Ice Emperor Bius, the vanguard troops invaded the territory of the Odu Alliance with lightning speed.

The Odu Alliance was still hoping to negotiate for the Phylicians to leave the Mercenary Kingdom, and they did not expect to be raided. Therefore, when the Phylician army invaded, the Odu army did not have time to make any reaction.

In just three days, two fortresses and several important cities in the southern part of the alliance fell one after another, and the nearly 100,000 troops stationed there were defeated with little resistance.

The Odu Alliance, which finally realized the crisis, hastily organized armies from other regions in an attempt to resist the Phylician attack. However, in front of Phylicia's powerful heavy infantry regiment, the Odu army that hastily responded to the battle collapsed.

In April 671 of the Creation Calendar, the Phylician army captured the Razor Fortress, the gate to the Hierro Plain, and aimed directly at the capital of the Odu Alliance, the city of Auron.

But just when the Phylicians thought victory was in sight, they encountered their first powerful enemy.

After two months of fighting to the death against the Phylician army on the southern battlefield, the Otto Alliance finally completed the assembly of its main army. At the same time, the Northern Freedom Alliance also sent 30,000 elite cavalry under the command of the Star Knight Brant.

, joined with the troops of the Odu Alliance.

Under the leadership of Blade General Fried, 300,000 coalition troops and 350,000 Phylician troops launched the First Battle of Hierro on the Hierro plain.

In this battle, the 50,000 Iron Wall Knights directly under General Fried showed the Phylicians the power of their continent's first knightly order. Faced with the impact of the powerful heavily armored knights, the Phylician Empire drew

The proud heavy infantry phalanx was as vulnerable as shredded paper.

This battle resulted in the Phylician army being completely defeated. After paying a heavy price of 70,000 troops dying, they finally retreated back to the Razor Fortress. If not for the Ice Emperor Bius who used a high-level water spell to severely damage Austria at the critical moment.

All troops, otherwise it will be difficult to defend even the Razor Fortress.
