Main Volume Chapter 106: Are there any of your people in the Holy City?
"Who are you?"
Faced with Zhang Yun's bombardment of intelligence, Carl finally couldn't help himself. Curiosity took over and made him ask questions he didn't want to ask.
Zhang Yun smiled inwardly, knowing that Carl had fallen into her trap, and now it was her turn to perform.
He pretended to be deep and said slowly: "Don't worry about who I am. My problem has been solved now, and your troubles..."
"The princess is in the desert right now. You guys are making a fuss here to summon a tide of the undead. I guess she has noticed it."
"You could have caught her."
"Now?"
"I don't think so."
Carl asked, "Then what do you want to do by catching up with us? Help us? Capture the princess? Push the holy city?"
Zhang Yun said: "Of course I will help you."
"I don't care about the Holy City, but the princess must be caught. This will benefit both of us."
Karl didn't say anything: "..."
Zhang Yun continued, "Don't think about it. We all suffered this time. Your magic circle was destroyed by me, and the things I wanted to protect were also damaged by the undead."
"Since no one made any money, let's call it a draw. All previous grudges are written off. Next, we will cooperate with each other and capture Lucina."
"What do you think?"
Carl frowned. Even though Zhang Yun revealed all of Ajid's secret information, he still did not completely believe Zhang Yun. He was obviously much more cautious than Ajid before.
After a pause, Carl said, "We can cooperate, but you must tell me first, who are you? What are you protecting in the desert city? How did you know about Lucina's escape? And what is your relationship with us, Ajid?"
Get to the bottom of it?
Want to confirm my identity first?
Zhang Yun recalled the information that Ajid had given them last time: they could not obtain intelligence directly from the Ancient Evil God, and if they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not know what the summoned Ancient Evil God had done.
At the same time, they are not sure whether there are other ancient evil god organizations in this world.
It’s just that the intelligence department has explored most places and found no other Ancient Evil God organizations, so they think they are the only ones. But if an organization jumps out and says they are also Ancient Evil God believers, they will not doubt it...
That is to say.
This Ajid didn't know about Batya, nor did he know that he had pretended to be the ancient evil god and deceived Batya and the ancient evil god who was tracking Lucina.
Then, I can change my strategy this time. I used to be an enemy, but this time I will use the identity of a friend and continue to use the excuse of the Ancient Evil God to deceive Carl...
After thinking through the countermeasures, Zhang Yun did not hesitate and said directly: "Hehe, I wanted to hide it for a while, but for the sake of capturing Lucina's key, I will tell you!"
"I am that lord's subordinate."
"It comes from the void, masters the truth, can reverse time, and is the apostle who controls time... Toliaxi!"
"You can call it... the Apostle of Time!"
Carl frowned: "Apostle of Time!?"
Zhang Yun nodded proudly: "Of course, my master can reverse time. Although the price is high and the time of reversal is limited, it can indeed control time."
"You may not believe me, but I personally participated in your operation to capture Lucina, and I also saw your companions sacrifice themselves to summon a guy who called himself "Batya."
“It told me everything.”
"You want to capture Lucina and use her to open the prison where Ajid is imprisoned, so that he can be released and return to this world, right?"
“We thought so too…”
Damn it!
Is this guy really one of us?
He even knew such a top secret that Lucina was the key?
Carl was extremely shocked, and the doubts in his heart were gradually disappearing.
After all, what Zhang Yun said was so core that even Lucina, who was the key, didn't know that she was the key to open the void rift, let alone other irrelevant people.
The fact that Zhang Yun could tell this meant that someone on his side had revealed it to him, or he had found out through some means, otherwise Zhang Yun would never have known these things.
And he found out...
This is unlikely. After all, our Ajid organization does not have any documents or paper files. Everything is remembered in our minds. Unless they are people you absolutely trust, no one else will get information from us.
If Zhang Yun is really special and can pry this information out of other companions...
Then he would not have been able to reach the desert intact, and his companions would never let such an insider leave alive. This is the most basic principle.
Therefore, this Oriental man knew these things, it must have been told to him by our insiders.
The most important thing is that he also involved Lord Batya, which makes it almost 100% certain that he is one of us!
Otherwise, how could a mortal like him leave safely after meeting Batya?
It is impossible for anyone to resist such a great power. Those who know it are either friends or will become dead...
Just like that, Carl started to believe Zhang Yun's words and thought that he was a believer of other ancient evil gods and an ally of Ajid behind him.
Zhang Yun also concluded from Carl's reaction that she had successfully gained his trust. Although there were some loopholes and it was a little different from what she had done before, it didn't matter.
Anyway, Zhang Yun can explain it by saying that “she doesn’t want to reveal her identity”.
Or he could come up with another excuse. There were many reasons. As long as they made sense logically, Carl would believe himself.
Who said this information was so secretive? Ajid never told anyone else, but he knew it all. It was completely flawless...
If I were to switch identities with Carl, I would definitely believe him. It has nothing to do with IQ , it's simply because the information gap is too big and I have no choice but to believe him.
It’s like in modern times, someone suddenly jumps out and tells you all your information, including the number of times you’ve drawn maps, the first time you learned traditional crafts, the first time you watched a porn movie…
Then he tells you that he is you, but he traveled from another world and because of a mysterious power, he became another person, so he looks different from you...
Then, he added, the world is about to end...
Do you believe it or not?
Definitely believe it!
If you don't believe it, he will tell you more information, such as news that will happen soon, the champion of the next World Cup, Nintendo's new game, etc., until you believe it!
This is the power of information asymmetry. There is no reason to resist. You must believe him, or you can only believe him!
This is Carl's current state...
Then, Zhang Yun made up some random information, telling Carl what she wanted to protect in the desert city and how Lucina escaped, completely gaining this guy's trust.
Then he began his real purpose.
"Karl, I want to know why you want to attack the Holy City, especially why you want to sacrifice the people of such a city to summon a tide of undead, when you can just summon a tide of monsters?"
Carl hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth, so as to avoid misunderstandings from his ally, especially since his undead magic circle almost caused the other party to lose something very important...
"According to the plan, we should have captured the princess of Alberia by now, and started to cast the magic circle to summon the void rift, preparing to release Master Akito."
"It's just that the threat posed by the Shensheng Cult is too great. If we want to ensure the normal operation of the magic circle, we must first eliminate the Shensheng Cult and destroy their holy city."
"If we don't destroy them, the strange phenomenon produced after the magic circle is triggered will definitely alarm the believers in the holy city, and then alarm the gods behind them, and then stop us from performing the magic circle ritual."
"That will be troublesome."
"And the purpose of summoning the undead army is to ensure the success of the mission. It is really difficult to defeat the Holy City's Paladin troops with just the monsters from the void rifts."
"If we go on our own, we will definitely sacrifice a lot of people. But if you think about it carefully, there is no need. We can conquer the Holy City with these undeads without wasting the precious lives of our companions."
"I just didn't expect you to be here. That thing was also here and was almost destroyed by the undead, affecting your plan..."
Zhang Yun waved her hand: "Don't talk about this. My problem is solved now. The main problem is you. I have destroyed the tide of undead. How are you going to attack the Holy City now?"
"Wait a moment and summon the magic circle again, or send out your main force to attack the Holy City?"
"Do you want me to call my companions to help you?"
"This is my responsibility. I should take it. Besides, it will be good for us to capture the Holy City. But we are not as bold as you to put this idea into practice..."
Zhang Yun's speech was full of details, and she even praised Ajid a little, which made Carl trust him more and more, so he spoke frankly.
"No, we have already considered this. We knew there would be unexpected situations where the Undead Array would be destroyed, so we have made several special arrangements for backup."
"Even if the undead army in my city is destroyed, there are still undead armies in the other three cities for us to command."
"If problems occur in other cities, it won't be a big deal. We only need one Undead Army to capture the Holy City anyway... It's impossible that the Undead armies in all three cities have been wiped out, right? The probability of this happening is as small as the Holy City surrendering directly! There's no reason for it to happen!"
"Even if our luck is extremely bad and the other three cities fail, we can just go on our own. We can definitely take down the Holy City anyway!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yun's face remained calm, but she was terrified in her heart.
etc!?
There are still three cities of undead! ?
And according to you, only one undead army is needed to capture the holy city, and the other undead armies are extra backup troops deployed just in case?
Oh my god!
Do you Ajids have to make so many backup plans every time you do something?
It was the same when we captured Lucina last time. We were afraid that Lucina would get lucky and escape your encirclement. Although she did escape your encirclement, it was because of me, a person who accidentally traveled through time. If it weren’t for me, she would not have been able to escape even the first level of capture...
After a pause, Zhang Yun suddenly thought of a key point in Carl's words. He said that summoning the army of undead was to reduce the sacrifice rate of his companions. As long as there were these undead, Ajid could organize an attack on the holy city without losing a single soldier.
but!
Where is the Holy City?
The headquarters of the Shensheng Sect, the dream of all believers, and the training ground where church professionals gather!
Zhang Yun learned from Princess Lucina that the Paladins and Holy Knights in the Holy City were extremely powerful, and together with other church professionals, there were large-scale divine spells that needed to be released in coordination, large magic arrays to protect the holy city, and so on.
If you want to break into the holy city, you must prepare a large number of soldiers and supplies, and then spend at least ten days and ten nights attacking continuously to break through the outermost magic defense array.
This is still taking the kingdom’s army as an example. If it were an army of undead that was restrained by divine power, it would take at least tens of millions of undead creatures, and they would all be high-level undead like the Black Knight, to be able to capture the outskirts of the holy city.
So!
Why did Carl dare to say that it would not cost a single soldier?
Furthermore, they were Agito, the wretched Agito. Although he was powerful, he secretly seized the capital of the kingdom and secretly captured Lucina. In addition, he arranged various back-ups just in case to ensure the success rate of his mission...
Why would such a cautious organization take such a big risk and attack the Holy City with the Undead Army that was restrained by the Holy City?
Aren’t you afraid of failure?
Then, Zhang Yun thought more and more deeply, and he learned from Carl that the reasons why Carl did not attack him directly at that time included:
"The Undead Array is not particularly important. There is no need to get hung up on it and fight with a mysterious person who is not actively attacking you."
"We don't know the enemy's background, so we will retreat temporarily. We will pass the information to our companions first, and then consider how to deal with them. This will be safer."
"And any other details you can think of..."
But it doesn't make sense why Carl didn't attack Effie.
Effie is a paladin of the Divine Life Order. She has a clear background and is full of hostility. She wishes she could kill Carl with one blow. Moreover, her own strength is not high. With Carl's power, he only needs three skills to kill Effie, who is less than level 40, in seconds.
Why did he let Effie go?
Before, I guessed that Carl was more cautious and afraid of Effie's holy power, so he didn't attack Effie... But now I understand clearly that Carl is not afraid of even the Cult of the Gods and dares to use the undead army to attack the Holy City, so how could he be afraid of a small Holy Knight?
Therefore, there must be a deeper reason why he did not kill Effie, which is the reason he just denied.
handle?
Or a conflict of interest?
Zhang Yun was shocked. "Wait a minute. Using the Undead Army to attack the Holy City, we can capture the Holy City without losing a single soldier. Even if the Undead Army fails to be summoned, we can definitely capture the Holy City... With all these conditions and the interests involved, it seems that it can be explained."
In other words…
There is a traitor in the Holy City who can lead the way for Ajid, so they dare to lead the Undead Army to attack the Holy City, and they guarantee that they can definitely take the Holy City. And this traitor is likely related to Effie, so he didn't kill Effie...
Depend on!
The more I think about it, the more I think this is the case!
Only this reason can connect all the previous things together!
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun immediately looked at Karl and asked in a low voice: "Karl, did you arrange an insider in the Holy City before you dared to attack the Holy City?"
"There are your people in the Holy City!"
"right?"
