The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 234: The Betrayal of Mirage

"Player Super Justice ()"

——Cardiac arrest.

This is not an exaggeration.

At that moment... Cecilia felt that her heart really stopped beating out of fear.

She opened her mouth, and many words came to her mind, but they got stuck on each other. Can't utter a single word.

It is obvious that she is no longer Solonik, it is obvious that her life has started again, it is obvious that she is a strong person of the gold level, and she is no longer a loser who cannot even pass the Hand of Winter exam. It is obvious that she He is already a well-known celebrity and an idol in people's hearts...

There is a lot to say.

But in the end, she just remained silent and slowly lowered her head.

Sure enough...

Even if he changed his body and completely changed his behavior, would he still be recognized in Annan's eyes?

What habits exposed you?

"At your disposal... Your Highness."

She responded bitterly.

——That’s ridiculous.

She thought she could get rid of this old fear...

"It's too late."

"Ai Lei" spoke softly and softly.

Celicia's azure eyes, which were reminiscent of a ragdoll cat, were instantly filled with pain and fear.

But soon, "Ai Lei" smiled mischievously again: "It's time for you to call me 'Your Majesty'."

The tension and relaxation, the fall and the rise, made Selicia couldn't help but relax a lot.

She even felt that her initial fear had lessened a lot.

All this is in Annan's calculations.

He could guess what kind of personality Zhou Mu would be like - what kind of fear would be in the hearts of everyone who came into contact with him.

This is a new plan born out of Annan's understanding of himself...how to use and detonate this fear to make them obey the "now" Annan.

——The so-called fox fakes the power of the tiger.

It's just Annan's fake reputation as "another self".

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Celicia's tone became much lighter and no longer so bitter: "It's at your disposal."

"I already have an idea on how to escape from this nightmare."

"Ai Lei" said calmly: "The conditions for this week have been unable to be met, but I will rescue everyone in the next week.

"In order to leave the power of 'remembering' to Airei, I need all of you to die once within the specified time.

"But before that...I have some questions that I want to talk to you about."

"...is it about the teacher?"

Celicia quickly realized what Annan wanted to ask.

She quickly responded: "As you saw at the time...the teacher did betray you."

...What I foresaw at the time?

When Annan heard this, he was startled.

The amount of information contained in this sentence is too great.

If Annan had already known that Vladimir would betray...

Then, with Annan's own character and ability, it would be impossible for Vladimir to successfully backstab him if necessary.

According to what Ivan said at the time, what Vladimir did... was to use Bella to steal Dmitri's body fluids to create a machine that could control and tame frost beasts without the need for "winter blood" Curse.

He controlled one-third of the frost beasts and formed an ice-breaking army, which in turn caused the frostbite disaster. The fact that the frost beast's control was shaken put the loyalty of the local nobles to a test - many people realized in this incident that they did not seem to need to be loyal to Winter.

The person they are loyal to... should be said to be the controller of the Frost Beast.

The strongest army in winter is the frost beast army, and the strongest war machine is also the frost beast. Punishment and torture also rely on frost beasts. The deterrence of the law also comes from frost beasts, and even exports in exchange for foreign trade. Rely on Frostbeast products.

Whoever controls the Frost Beast controls everything.

Mortal soldiers cannot defeat frost beasts of similar size - because as long as they are around frost beasts, they can't help but start to tremble, fear, and feel sad. As long as one hit does not kill him, the very act of getting close to the frost beast will paralyze his combat power.

The frost beast's ability to absorb positive emotions from a wide range has an effect on the battlefield equivalent to poisonous gas that cannot be defended with a gas mask. And although most frost beasts are wolves, there are also types of bears, foxes, and falcons... As long as they are non-primates larger than a certain size, they may be transformed if they are frozen to death in a snowstorm as a cub. For the frost beast.

With just one deep breath, the frost beasts can absorb the "happiness" within a cone-shaped range; when the frost beasts swarm, they only need to pass by people, making them seem to be frozen and ossified into Statues covered with frost, giving up thinking and without hope.

The frost beast itself does not eat humans.

But people who have been "eaten" by frost beasts will no longer be able to avoid snowstorms. The despair and powerlessness in their hearts will paralyze their desire to act and survive...

People who are attacked by frost beasts in the wild usually end up freezing to death.

A large-scale frost beast army has formed. One person can eat one bite, and only four or five bites can eat away a person's soul, causing him to die of despair.

A swarm of frost beasts is enough to destroy any resistance. This is also the reason why Noah has never been able to reach the other side of the Black Sea when there is only one standing army left in the cold winter and four "fingers" are missing.

——Because frost beasts cannot enter water, nor can they enter gray fog.

For this reason, the frost beast troops can only be used for defensive counterattacks and maintaining law and order.

...If we want to talk about flaws, this is the biggest flaw.

But on the other hand, if you gain control of the frost beast.

That means... any noble's private soldiers will be neutralized.

As long as the frost beasts are close, it only takes a dozen frost beasts to instantly paralyze the resistance of the hundred-man group. Ordinary metal arrows have no effect on frost beasts... they must be oiled rockets to cause effective damage.

The "Frostbite Rebellion" did not have much of a reaction... but the "Icebreaker Army" that followed directly triggered a rebellion that covered the whole country in the winter and a great purge within the Hand of Winter.

If Annan had known about it for a long time and wanted to stop it, it was entirely possible that he could have done so.

But he didn't do that.

Does this mean...

Was the rebellion launched by Vladimir the “Winter Defiant” expected by Annan?

Is it even directly part of Annan’s plan?

That's why he controls one-third of the frost beasts - if this number is more, the Principality of Winter will not be able to maintain deterrence and control cities around the world through the frost beast troops.

What was taken away were 1,500 military frost beasts.

This value is already very close to the "bottom line" allowed by the Principality of Winter.

So, think about it the other way around...

If the rebellion of the "Winter Defying Men" is what Annan needs.

Which of the things that have happened since then was "necessary"?

"...That's it."

Annan murmured.

His eyes grew brighter.

After that, two "unprecedented" things happened.

The first thing was that the top management of the Hand of Winter was abolished - the power of external affairs, that is, the power controlled by the "right hand", was returned to the hands of the Grand Duke.

Before this, even Ivan did not realize that the real power of the Principality of Winter was already in the "ten fingers" of the Hand of Winter.

The second thing is that the Far North Brotherhood completely lost its loyalty to the Winter Family and rebelled openly. That is their "satisfying gold" plan... This is the first family that dares to trade with the fallen since the founding of the Principality of Winter. Their courage obviously came from the "Artificial Frost Beast" plan.

But what if the "betrayal" of the Winter Defying Man was just an act to allow the Grand Duke to take back his power;

If this plan is just to single out those among the local nobles who deal with the fallen...

...Then why hasn't he come back yet?

Is this a fake show, is he really going against the grain?

Still...

"So, where is Vladimir... now?"

After thinking for a long time, "Ai Lei" asked Selicia.

Celicia did not pause at all and replied with a wry smile:

"I don't know...I haven't seen the teacher for a long time."

After a long silence ~IndoMTL.com~ Selicia replied in a low voice: "Since I formed the icebreaker army, I have never seen the teacher again.

“It was when I became ‘Captain Ishizaka’ that I finally learned that the teacher was really not dead.

"But no matter what, I can't reach the teacher's location. The treasure ship 'Silver' has the ability to pursue the target, but it has never been able to locate the teacher. I even doubted whether the teacher was still alive... But I can always tell from others that the teacher is indeed alive and well.

"I can only judge that the teacher has been avoiding me... I don't know what the purpose of this is. If it is for the teacher, I would rather that this identity is revealed to be Solonik... even if it is for the teacher. Even if I am wanted, even if everyone knows that I was once a wanted criminal Solonik, I just don’t want the teacher to turn a blind eye to me.”

"...That's it."

Annan was thoughtful.

He has grasped six-tenths of all the facts.

You only need to see Vladimir once and everything will be clear.

"Very good."

"Ai Lei" nodded and stood up from the chair leisurely.

"I still need to find someone. It's not a condition for clearing the nightmare, it's just my personal matter. Come and help me, Solonik... no, Selicia. If everything goes well, I may forgive you. Sin."

"Who is...?"

"That's Lily Rasputin on your ship."

The corner of "Ai Lei's" mouth raised slightly: "Of course, if I want to say her real name..."

"Euphemia Melvin...right."

Celicia replied in a low voice.

"Not bad."

"Ai Lei" replied briefly and calmly: "Lead the way."
