Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2000 - 638: Each More Poisonous Than the Last
"Lucian, are you going to join the battle? Who will you support?"
"Of course, we will support the Beamon." Rommel laughed, "Lucian and Beamon are neighbors; there’s no reason to go all the way to the human side."
"Will they believe you?"
"They will doubt, of course, but I’m sincere. Over time, they will see my true intentions."
"Even with Lucian’s support, do you think the Beamon army can hold their ground against the Sea Clan army?" Jia Bao raised her elegant eyebrows, "I find it unrealistic; the Sea Clan army is simply too vast!"
"The wasteland north of the Sanggan River has been Beamon’s stronghold for a thousand years. You won’t see any Stone Man statues there because they’ve been used to build city walls and houses. There are no trees either, and both are strategic resources. Without trees and stones, you can’t build heavy siege equipment, and relying solely on human lives to seize a city is not easy." Rommel shook his head, "Especially with Richard there now."
"Individual bravery cannot alter the overall pattern." Upon hearing this name, Queen Jiabao’s tone immediately turned as hard as stone.
"I admit history is written by the majority, but I also firmly believe individuals can influence its course! The Aegean Continent has countless examples, such as the famous Battle of Thermopylae, the Battle of the Hot Gates, where the tail of war tipped due to a traitor’s lead, resulting in the downfall of one human empire and the rise of another!" Rommel stated, laying out the facts, "Your Majesty, your thought process is too dangerous. Many who underestimated Richard are now lying in coffins, being gnawed by worms."
"I know what you’re trying to say, but doesn’t the Sea Clan have top experts too? Their population is considerable, and they didn’t suffer the disastrous defeat at the ’Southern Cross Star Forest Divine Realm War.’ Even the most capable renegade can’t withstand the Sea Clan’s numerous experts, can he?" Jia Bao’s expression darkened. Executing ’assassination tactics’ has always been the Demon Clan army’s forte and strength, yet history’s biggest downfall was also due to ’assassination tactics.’
"My Majesty, your perspective has clearly entered a misconception; you are too presumptive!" Rommel empathetically pulled out a white handkerchief and handed it to Queen Jiabao, whose eyes were red, "You probably don’t know that the water mages of the Aegean Continent and the water mages of the ocean are entirely different. Due to huge differences in race and region, their magic systems developed differently..."
"What do you mean?"
"It’s like the fire mages of the ocean differ from the fire mages of the surface world; they’re not on the same path at all." Rommel mused for a moment, "Let me put it this way... The Pan Continent acknowledges the Sea Clan’s Storm Splitter sorcerers are formidable because they can easily unleash tides and giant waves in the ocean, smashing any Pumi giant ship sailing at sea!"
"That’s already the power of a forbidden curse." Queen Jiabao nodded, "Even our Demon World acknowledges the strength of the Aegean Sea race; they are indeed powerful, even stronger than us."
"But can those Storm Splitter sorcerers still trigger giant waves when they reach the surface? Of course not!" Rommel chuckled, "It’s the same logic as surface fire mages being unable to cast forbidden curses underwater! It’s not that their strength is lacking; it’s that they’ve entered an environment that heavily restrains their power! The Sea Clan leaving the ocean and stepping onto land degrades their strength, even more than the Netherworld Beasts arriving in an Emperor Polo-overse Demon World! Surface and ocean are vastly different realms, and the density of water elements on land can’t compare to the abundance in the ocean!"
Rommel scratched his head, "I’ve studied historical records of the first land-sea war; the Sea Clan relies heavily on numerical superiority to compensate for quality when they come ashore!"
"So, according to you, can’t several tutors from the Aegean Continent perform ’assassination tactics’?" Queen Jiabao asked quizzically, "Since the Sea Clan lacks top experts, what do the Aegean Continent natives fear about them?"
"The Sea Clan’s Storm Splitter sorcerers are numerous. Despite any strength else, they’re still mages! There’s no hierarchy in magic; the collective firepower of ten thousand mages isn’t far inferior to a forbidden curse, right?" Rommel’s gaze shifted to the distant horizon of Florence, "Moreover, the Sea Clan has two major rulers: Mermaids with natural bonds and Sirens capable of flight, plus their songs of spiritual control!"
"How then is Richard supposed to eliminate the Sea Clan’s higher-ups?" Jia Bao asked in puzzlement, "Following your reasoning, ’assassination tactics’ are practically infeasible!"
"Let’s skip the Mermaids’ natural domain enclosure for now! The key lies in the overpowering Sirens. Their songs of spiritual control aren’t evident under normal circumstances, but when holding an incantation, if their mind control aura is triggered, any mental disturbance results in magical backlash!" Rommel shook his head, "Richard is different; Sirens fear the Beamon priests most, especially natural Soul Singers! Plus, Richard is the king of solo combats, never using forbidden curses! More importantly, he possesses the battle song totem pole; in the known world, those who surpass the mid-level rank as mages remain a rare elite!"
