"Izcoatl? That Aztlan magician we are arresting?" Dan shouted, "Why did he come here on his own initiative? King of Sweden, why do you act like you already knew about it?" ??”
"If he doesn't come here, where can he go?" Ella replied calmly, "The villagers from the nearby villages are rushing towards Winchester under the protection of my army, and those who stay outside are all victims of the Black Death." In contrast, the city of Winchester not only took in a large number of villagers, but the Black Death victims were also driven out, and the army was even left empty because the army went out to protect the villagers - if I were Izcoatl, I would definitely Will come and attack here.”
"So you said it should be completed within three days...?"
"Gathering residents from nearby villages here will take about three days to complete. Izcoatl cannot wait for the army to return to the city before attacking Winchester. If he wants to take advantage of the opportunity, he can only attack Winchester here. in three days."
Looking at Ella who had anticipated everything, Dan took a breath of cold air - it turned out that Ella's real purpose of gathering the villagers to Winchester City was not to protect them. Winchester City was just a trap, and Everyone who stayed in Winchester, including himself and even Ella himself, had all been used as bait to lure Izcoatl to attack.
"How dare you do this?" Dan shouted, "Izcoatl was lured here, but without the army, how are you going to subdue it? Just rely on this snake conjured by a crowbar to act like a ghost. ?”
“If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t catch the tiger’s cubs.”
"How can we catch tiger cubs if we don't enter the tiger's den? What do you think of our lives?" Dan continued to shout, "And even if you can scare Izcoatl, so what? If you don't capture his strength, after he escapes They will continue to cause chaos!”
Ella glanced at Dan, her eyes gradually becoming sharper. But before she could speak, Dast ran over from a distance: "King of Sweden! The dungeon, this is really the direction of the dungeon! Izcoatl has fallen into our trap."
"Trap?" Dan was surprised again, "Not only did you guess that he would come, you also guessed where he would go first?"
"Of course, only a madman would act illogically. The most valuable target in the entire Winchester City is me first, but where I will be, Izcoatl doesn't know; except for me In addition, the most valuable target is Tesosomok - he is an elf, and taking out his heart can help Izcoatl increase a lot of magic power. The only possible place for Tesosomok is in the dungeon."
Ignoring Dan's surprise, Ella flicked her sleeves, turned her back and walked towards the altar.
"Put away the Baslik and come with me - this is a military order."
Dan patted his rapidly beating heart - the look Ella looked at him before Dust ran over made him almost breathless. He didn't dare to continue to neglect, put away Baslik, left Ravi and chased after Ella.
"Look at the dark circles under your eyes. Did you stay up late to prepare the trap?" Dan asked Dast next to him in a low voice while chasing Ella, "What did the King of Sweden prepare in the dungeon?"
"Snake, the highly venomous sea snake Baslik." Dast also replied in a suppressed voice, "They are small, and there are probably more than a few thousand in number."
"Thousands of Basliks?" Dan suddenly asked, "How did you catch them?"
No wonder Dan was surprised. Basiliqs living in the North Sea are extremely poisonous, and ordinary people are afraid to avoid them, let alone catch them. Moreover, the natural Baslik is different from the alchemically transformed Baslik. It is extremely unstable in nature. Once it leaves the sea water or is exposed to sunlight for a long time, it will soon turn into white bones. He couldn't figure out how Ella had managed to transport thousands of basliks to Winchester in one night.
Ella heard Dan's cry and replied calmly from the front:
"As long as you spread a little blood, Baslik will come in droves soon. And with Aphrodite's protection, it's easy to capture Baslik. This kind of thing, in Antiri We did it countless times when we were young."
"We moved Tesosomok, stored water in the dungeon, poured Baslik into it and raised it." Dast added in Dan's ear, "Once Izkoatl comes out from under the dungeon, If it appears, the water will pour into his tunnel. Of course, there are also venomous snakes inside. Izcoatl is probably fighting thousands of Basliks now."
"Okay, don't say any more." Ella interrupted from the front, "The winning rate is only 60% now. Hurry up and get everything ready at the altar!"
Dan followed Ella up to the altar in a daze. Dast stayed below and directed several soldiers to pile wet leaves around the altar. When a fire was set, thick smoke billowed around the altar.
Ella let her hair down.
"Next, I will be the messenger of Quetzalcoatl. You look at my eyes and throw out the crowbar at the right time to call out the snake. As long as Izcoatl believes that I represent Quetzalcoatl, it is victory, understand. Is it done?"
"Pretend Quetzalcoatl... The King of Sweden, even if he is an elf, tries his best to keep them away from the Basliks. You just poured thousands of Basliks off Izcoatl's head. , Even if you don’t do anything, Izcoatl will die, right?”
Before Ella could reply, the ground trembled again. From the altar, Dan saw that the entire above-ground part of the dungeon had collapsed. Soon after, the pile of ruins exploded in all directions. Izcoatl crawled out from under the dungeon wet, breathing heavily.
His left sleeve was empty, and the arm inside had turned into bone. Izcoatl had never seen Baslik and did not know the danger of its venom, causing the skin and muscles of his entire left hand to be corroded by Baslik's venom. But this was far from over. After corroding the muscles, the venom began to corrode the hand bones relentlessly, and was gradually approaching Izcoatl's chest.
With a scream, Izcoatl tore off his entire left hand and threw it to the ground.
Anyone else would have fainted from the severe pain, but Izcoatl managed to hold on. He shook a few times and saw the altar surrounded by thick smoke, Ella standing on it, and the blood stains on the altar. In anger, he roared at Ella again and again.
"Seventy percent." Ella suddenly said, "The winning rate is now seventy percent."
"Because the other party is injured?"
"No - it's because he's scared. Did you see it? He kept shouting in this direction, but he didn't dare to rush this way."
"Why? He obviously climbed out of the trap!"
"Because the trap I used was not another trap, but a 'snake'. It is impossible for Baslik to kill an elf-level magician. What can kill him is the psychological suggestion he exerts on himself."
Ella raised her chin slightly and looked down at Izcoatl.
"Guess, in his eyes, what does it mean for me to attack him with this unnatural 'snake'?"
