712.Murphy's Law is once again perfectly performed in the Brass Fortress~ (page 2/2)
“Are you sure it was three meetings?？”
The ranger general sitting on the left hand side of the Supreme Lord, wearing a silver moon mask and carrying a bow like a lit silver flame, said in a hoarse voice.：
“Why do I remember only one such general meeting?？”
“I remember twice.”
The halfling mechanic who was in charge of military logistics in the fortress flicked off his engineering glasses with some surprise and said in a sharp tone.：
“I also took minutes of the meeting. Let me see it was twice, yes, in the past four days. Wait, you just said a week has passed? That’s not right! My time clock hourglass shows that only four days have passed.”
“Obviously, the atmosphere of subspace has affected all of us, so much so that we have had great problems with our perception of time and space, and even the fabrication of some chaotic memories..”
Sitting opposite the elf ranger, the tall Songhai general wearing a golden crown of the Holy Emblem of the Burning Sun said in a low tone.：
“For example, the issue we discussed this time, if I remember correctly, is the fifth time we have discussed similar issues, and what I am more worried about now is the people who exist in this throne room now..
including me.
How many of them are 'real'?？”
“Don’t you Songhai people worship the Creator and claim to have the highest resistance to subspace pollution among all mortal races?？”
The Ranger General said coldly：
“Are you unable to judge what is true or false around you? Your Excellency Wumeng.”
“I don’t carry the Creator’s relics, and I lack the divine power of creation. Here I am just an ordinary Songhai person far away from my hometown. Even the sunshine hates this place. The power of the scorching sun is obviously not enough to dispel the current haze..”
The questioned General Songhai responded solemnly.：
“But in my memory, the Brass Fortress is a holy place belonging to the Mother Goddess of the Earth. It is protected by the divine power of Lady Gaia. The invasion and penetration of subspace should not be so easy, so I can’t tell who is real and who is fake. Sure.
However, when it is obvious that this place is no longer blessed by Mother Earth, those who are still claiming that Gaia protects this place and trying to confuse the public are definitely having a problem.！”
The next moment, everyone present looked at the silver dwarf priest next to the brass dwarf supreme lord..
He tried to explain with some panic, but after seeing everyone draw their weapons, he gave up this futile cover-up and replaced it with malicious sarcasm as the smoke dissipated.：
“Yes, Songhay people, you have identified the problem for the seventh time, but I am curious, how long can you protect your mind? Guess whether what you see and hear next is true？”
“Swish”
The scene in the entire throne room changed drastically in the next second. The originally peaceful meeting was torn off its pretense in an instant. Brigadier General Padre, who was full of energy just now, was lying on the ground, his body stabbed by three broken spears. Wear it, already out of breath.
Major General Misoyan covered the wound on his waist and gasped with a pale face..
All the commanders around him were injured. Even Lord Hadran Earthhammer was holding the sacred object of Gaia, the Power of the Earth, and breathing deeply on his throne..
“How many times has this happened? Damn it！”
The human major general asked with difficulty. The Songhai general who had one of his arms cut off gritted his teeth and glanced at the thirteen blood marks on his leg. He said：
“The thirteenth time. Probably, I am now. Frankly speaking, I am not completely sure. The true vision given to me by the Creator has been obscured by filth, and I am no longer pure..”
“Now is not the time to talk about this！”
The only ranger general still standing was holding a mechanical war bow as tall as herself. Her feet were covered with the corpses of armed kobolds and gnolls, and some strange ratmen were burned further away. the skeleton.
she said hoarsely：
“How long until the next illusion strikes?？”
“No one knows, it's happening more and more often.”
Brass Dwarf Lord says：
“Are we going out again this time?？”
“certainly! Our soldiers are still outside fighting against the rat people and those damn barbarians who dug up the ground and rushed into the fortress. We cannot give up on them. Now the area above the fortress trading area is still in our hands, and we can still hold on.！
The premise is that no more people can be deceived by the illusion of subspace..
Brigadier Padre's tragedy once is enough.”
Major General Misoyan spat on the side with bloody saliva, and said with a desperate smile.：
“Who the hell would have thought? While Black Flame Pass is still supporting us, the Brass Fortress is about to fall first. What the hell is going on with you dwarves? Why didn't Gaia even say hello when she abandoned you?？
We were almost caught off guard and pulled into a desperate situation..
Damn it！
This battle was so frustrating.”
The Supreme Lord remained silent, but in fact everyone present knew the answer..
The elf general glanced at him and said：
“It’s already here, aren’t you planning to destroy those burning golds? We already confirmed in the first great riot caused by the illusion that the subspace breath penetrated through those gold-burning raw ores..
It is harmless in itself, but once it is piled up in large quantities, problems of this kind will arise..
I remember our Elf King clearly warned you！”
“Gaia has abandoned us, and without those burning gold as explosives, how can we resist the covetous jackals and their lunatic minions outside?？”
shouted the dwarf lord：
“The current front line is maintained entirely by the iron-hearted warriors of the Brass Fortress. The only reward they want is the priceless gold. I have promised all the wealth of my kingdom to my people, and my people accept it. In exchange for the employment of burning gold, even those greedy miners picked up their mining picks and fought for us.！
Oh my God, can you think about the real issues?？
We can't destroy Burning Gold now. It's the expensive things stored up that are maintaining morale. Otherwise, this fortress will be destroyed in an instant.！”
“When you pile up those gadgets from subspace in your warehouse, when you choose to burn gold and stay away from the teachings of Mother Earth, this fortress is finished.！”
General Songhai, who had lost his arm, used his curved-edged sword to prop up his scarred body. He said with disgust on his face.：
“What you are doing now is just drinking poison to quench your thirst. The sun is shining. I can’t imagine that you were not like this a hundred years ago. Now your people actually want money from the king before they are willing to fight for their homeland.？
You're done.
Even if the jackals don't destroy you, you will be finished after this battle..
Keep guarding your wealth, High Lord..
My soldiers and I are leaving this fortress of despair..
This place is simply a tomb filled with gold. We have more hope of going out to fight guerrillas with those stubborn shield dwarves than staying here..”
“Well said, Songhai people, so good that I have almost forgotten your identity as a Songhai person..”
The Ranger General also shook his head and said：
“I have ordered my rangers to break out. We will continue hunting in the mountains south of the Gorgon Pass. If you can't hold on in the north, we can help you. But remember not to get close to the fog. We have already It's too heavy a price to pay for rashly trying..”
