Although they invade the most times, evil gods are not the most likely to interfere with the real world. Beyond their powers, evil gods also need to pay a high price to interfere with the real world.
And the easiest to interfere with are the dimensional demons!
Although they rarely cause trouble, their parallel dimension to the real world makes them the most likely to interfere with it, which is why there are more arcane mages than any other evil god priests.
However, the dimensional demons are mostly asleep, making it difficult to trade with them.
"The Lord of billions of flesh and blood? Wasn't He asleep?" Philo frowned slightly, and she knew that He had just fallen asleep because she had made a deal with this demon god twice.
The first transaction was successful, and the second ceremony was completed smoothly, but He did not respond.
And the demon god's sleep...
To be honest, it's perfectly normal for beings like them to sleep for hundreds of years.
Did Isaac not know that He was asleep?
“Yes, but I’ve been researching how to forcibly awaken Him recently, and I’ve made some progress. With such a large sacrifice this time, it will definitely work!” Isaac said confidently.
Everyone: "..."
Philo stared at Isaac, speechless for a long time. After a while, she exclaimed, "You're a madman!"
Forcibly awakening the demon god...
She couldn't even bear to think about something so terrifying!
You should know that morning grumpiness isn't something only humans have; even demons have it!
Normally, demons need to sleep to calm down when they encounter unpleasant things or when their dimension is unstable. They're already unhappy, and you're making them even angrier!
Most importantly, Philo knew very well that Isaac never simply made deals; this guy was definitely trying to get something from the demon god.
This adds fuel to His already raging anger!
madman……
Chapter 158 The Miraculous Treasures of Etra
“I’m starting to doubt whether cooperating with you is really a good thing…” Philo sighed.
Theoretically speaking, the Outer God cannot cause trouble for the legendary wizard after the transaction is completed, because He does not know who the legendary wizard is. After all, if He knew the specific information, He would have been swallowed up by the Outer God during the transaction!
But this is only in theory. In reality, the Outer Gods can also use underhanded methods to identify the legendary wizards!
For example, in this sacrifice, the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood could use the Itra royal family to identify Isaac and the others. It wouldn't be difficult for Him to do this, after all, He is a demon god, and He has not only cultists who believe in Him, but also mages who borrow His magic.
Therefore, when mad witches make deals with Outer Gods, they usually choose to directly acquire power or knowledge, and rarely use the power of Outer Gods to directly interfere with people or things in the real world.
This is also one of the reasons why the Terra Empire chose the Nobles and the God of Rites after weighing the pros and cons – they are not afraid of the other party's real-life reality!
It's still uncertain who will defeat whom when they actually arrive!
The Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood is different. Although he often sleeps and many novice mad witches like to take advantage of him when they have nothing to do, it doesn't mean that he is weak.
On the contrary, the Lord of billions of flesh and blood is currently in his prime and is one of the most outstanding among the Outer Gods. In addition, the Dimensional Demon God's characteristic of being able to easily invade the real world makes His interference in the real world extremely powerful.
Of course, even so, in a real fight, the Emperor would still be no match for Him, but that's only true for the Emperor...
The Terra Empire is huge!
Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now...
Philo wasn't naive enough to think that Isaac would listen to them and change or stop his plans.
Of course, it wasn't impossible to stop. Based on their understanding of Isaac, they knew he was swayed by both soft and hard tactics. She believed that as long as she used the Empire to pressure him, he would definitely change his plans or simply abandon the ceremony here.
But is it possible to do that?
No.
We finally made up. If we ruin the relationship again, wouldn't all that effort and money have been wasted?
"Don't worry, I'll handle it properly." Isaac chuckled, not taking Philo's concerns to heart, as this was one of the issues he was supposed to resolve during the ritual.
However, this is not difficult to solve; a contract can be drawn up. Although this is not a foolproof method, it is easy to stall for a period of time.
The concept of time here refers to the divine concept of time!
As a crucial part of the magic system, contracts do carry considerable risks, but they are not entirely untrustworthy; they simply should not be blindly trusted. In most scenarios, contracts are a highly reliable means.
What's really troubling Isaac right now is how to successfully hold this ceremony!
This is the problem that urgently needs to be solved.
In a chaotic battle involving multiple forces like this, he was definitely not the only one secretly plotting a blood sacrifice ritual. How to authenticate someone as his sacrifice was a skill in itself.
In such a chaotic situation, let alone someone else killing you, even if you kill someone yourself, they might not become your sacrifice.
Mensa's method was to directly gather the corpses together. Whether it was a spatial displacement spell or a spell similar to condensing flesh and blood essence, both could effectively gather the corpses together.
Of course, the fundamental reason they chose this option was that the Terran royal family could find a large number of mage apprentices and professional wizards to work as laborers, even for free!
They were extremely excited to do any kind of hard, tiring, or dirty work as long as they could earn credits!
However, in Isaac's view, this was just the Terran royal family taking shortcuts by relying on their abundant resources. Isaac had much greater ambitions when it came to anchoring the sacrifices!
Killing him myself wouldn't satisfy his appetite!
What he wants are all the lives lost in battle on this land!
Whether it was him or his people who killed him!
As I said before, if you're going to take a shortcut, then take the fastest and best one, otherwise what kind of shortcut is it?
As for the series of problems in between...
Just solve them one by one!
Soon, the pumpkin carriage arrived at the military camp outside the city. It is worth mentioning that this military camp is not large, only able to hold about seven or eight thousand people. Let alone supplying the entire kingdom's army of 500,000 soldiers, it would be extremely difficult to even provide one quota of 10,000 soldiers.
and so……
"That thing has such high production efficiency?" Isaac looked at Philo in surprise.
Philo nodded, turned to look in the direction of the kingdom, a greedy glint in her eyes. If it weren't so magical, why would she have set her sights on this treasure?
If it weren't for its eye on this treasure, the empire wouldn't have wanted to completely destroy this country.
Upon receiving the reply, a hint of greed appeared in Isaac's eyes. If he had this, wouldn't he be able to trade with billions of flesh and blood beings every day?
"Tsk tsk~" Isaac shook his head with a sigh, all the greed in his eyes dissipating. Such a thing could only be thought about, it was not very practical. Firstly, this treasure had been reserved by Philo, and he still had that sense of contractual spirit. Secondly, the law of conservation of energy was still very stable even in another world.
Creating these androids inevitably requires something, namely, cost.
Since both require costs, what's the difference between him and directly buying demonized flesh and blood?
Perhaps humanoid flesh and blood beings would make billions of flesh and blood beings happier, but he is neither a pleasure monster nor a believer. Whether billions of flesh and blood beings are happy or not has nothing to do with him, since it doesn't affect his transactions anyway.
A short while later, the group met the person in charge of the military camp, a gloomy middle-aged man wearing full silver-white armor. He listlessly checked their documents and badges, and then told Isaac and the others to step back.
Next, to the astonishment of the group, squads of soldiers clad in iron armor emerged from the military camp.
Isaac looked at the soldier's armor in surprise; it was full armor!
This isn't ordinary armor; it's armor with a simple enchantment!
It has a certain degree of spell resistance. It's impossible to expect it to directly resist spells, but it can increase your survival rate in the aftermath of spells, preventing you from dying from unknown area-of-effect attacks.
It is said that in the hands of some powerful warlocks, this equipment can even have a synergistic effect, demonstrating extremely strong defensive capabilities.
This stuff is expensive to mass-produce, and if the quantity reaches millions...
That would be an even more incredible number!
Is the Kingdom of Etra really that kind?
Or is this thing a basic piece of equipment for these androids?
However, this would inevitably cause the cost of these androids to skyrocket, unless the treasure delves into the ultimate secrets of alchemy!
Watching the soldiers file out, Isaac curiously stroked his chin. The gains from this operation might be more than just the Magic Eye and the ritual...
Indeed, it's always better to get out and about more often when you have free time.
I've been asked to go on a blind date, so I need to take two days off.
As the title says, I'm currently in my hometown, and I believe my neighbors are elderly and not particularly close relatives. My keyboard is too loud… I'm a little embarrassed, so I'll be taking a break for two days.
As for whether or not to add more later...
Well, I won't make any big promises. Those who know me well should know that I've hardly ever kept such promises... I'm such a lazy bum.
Finally, wish me luck on my blind date! That way I won't have to go on any more!
Last but not least, I'm so sorry.
Chapter 159 The Decaying Kingdom of Etra
Although the barracks could deploy troops quickly, they had too many soldiers to command. It took a whole day to fully mobilize the 40,000-strong army!
At least 40,000 soldiers can be produced per day...
"Tsk tsk~" Isaac looked at the magnificent army before him and shook his head with a sigh. To possess such a treasure and still manage to govern the country in such a sorry state... truly...
That's quite a skill!
After the troop roll was completed, it was already midnight. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and its light scattered on the iron armor, creating a starry, cold glint that looked extremely terrifying!
"Can you command them?" Isaac asked Smith after glancing at the expressionless soldiers.
Although he seemed to have a lot of confidence in Smith before, he couldn't help but worry when he actually saw such a large army. After all, Smith had been away from the army for many years, and even when he was in the army, he had never led an army of tens of thousands of people, let alone a large one!
The army is never a case of the more the better. Just like Isaac's past life, among all the generals throughout history, only the military genius Han Xin dared to say that the more the better.
Fortunately, these androids are not regular soldiers; they do not have their own thoughts. Although they are still difficult to command, they are still within Smith's capabilities.
Smith nodded and began issuing military orders, directing the army to march toward Fort Rodon.
That was their defensive position, or rather, their attack point.
Although the battlefield here is a huge blood sacrifice feast, at least on the surface, certain rules of war are still maintained.
