Chapter 1022 279: Decisive Battle on the Snowfield, Kael Who Weaves Death, the Restless Domain (10K)
After confirming that hidden enemies had silently entered the Bell Federation, this emergency military situation led Kael to temporarily trigger the merging of the Experience Pool of the Duchy of Engelance with the Eastern Border Lords.
Undoubtedly, from now on, the task of paying for a large number of players to become auxiliary troops and jointly kill the enemy would no longer need to be borne by Kael.
The Duchy of Engelance is large, and the experience it could provide far exceeded that of Kael's Lancaster Experience Pool.
Combined with the gradual accumulation of the Eastern Border Lords' Experience Pool, it was more than enough to attract a large number of players to use the Teleportation Array to enter Lancaster and assist Kael in combat.
The most important aspect of auxiliary troops?
As long as the players don't betray, the logistical support provided by player auxiliary troops far surpasses that of ordinary auxiliary troops. After all, each player has a Space Backpack, which ordinary auxiliary troops cannot match.
However, all of this is now unimportant to Kael.
Since it was confirmed that these people had secretly infiltrated the Lancaster Territory, he had to start preparing in advance.
Just as Lancaster's various resource nodes and towns had already announced temporary lockdowns due to heavy snow, and had arranged for territory residents and incoming travelling merchants to stay within the city.
After ensuring there would be no collateral damage, a few hours ago, Kael, who had been quietly waiting in the Mage Tower for everything to reach its conclusion, called upon these Shivas to join him in the Mage Tower to commence his plan against the unknown enemies.
At this moment, Kael in the Mage Tower slowly opened his eyes, a hint of doubt flickering in them.
Upon detecting the Church-level widespread Divine Arts combined by the Priests to create a large-scale extreme frost and snow climate, Kael decided to call upon the strongest group of Shivas from Shiva Village.
Of course, the purpose was evidently not to impart within the Mage Tower, but rather to further use the unique physical traits of the Shivas as nodes for the operation of the Magic Array, to push this extreme weather to an even more extreme level at the fastest speed.
Under normal circumstances, upon detecting the Divine Arts of the God of Ice Church, he realized the primary group of the Expeditionary Crusade arriving on site this time.
As the massive magic power drawn from the Mage Tower spread through the magic network to Kael's presence, this terrifying force began to resonate with the runes of the Magic Array and the physique of the Shivas.
Initially, this kind of resonance would only amount to creating a small snowstorm, as the power limit of the Shiva bloodline was finite, and the average level of the Shiva tribe wasn't that high. Most of the time, it was just a minor nuisance to unprepared ordinary citizens.
But now, under Kael's influence, and with the continuous extraction of snowstorm elements and concepts, under the influence of the Elemental Furnace's vast energy, it directly turned into a terrifying super snowstorm spreading throughout the entire territory.
"Are these priests underestimating natural disasters?"
Kael pondered, perhaps due to their faith in the God of Ice, the Expeditionary Crusaders had an inexplicable confidence in the widespread snowstorm their Divine Arts had created.
It was as if the area covered by the snowstorm was their home, and they believed they could never die within their own home.
Yet now, under Kael's manipulations with the Shivas' unique forces and supplemented by the energy of the Elemental Furnace, this had successfully distorted everything into another kind of landscape.
"Using the excellent battlefield conditions created by the enemy, slightly modifying it to become an even more excellent battlefield environment for ourselves, is indeed a strong suit for a reliable Magic Monarch!"
Kael roughly guessed the intentions of the God of Ice Church's Expeditionary Crusade.
By using top-notch Divine Arts to create blizzard weather, they aimed to cover a vast area with a snowstorm expanded by the Church.
In doing so, where the blizzard passed, everything fell silent.
The sudden snowstorm could not only severely damage unprepared subjects, plunging the territory into chaos but also greatly weaken Kael's Extraordinary Army.
After all... they believed that only a small number of Gluttonous Slimes with full Ice Element Resistance could have some resistance to this snowstorm, as most Slimes were aligned with the concept of "weak to ice."
After all, the majority of a slime's body is composed of water.
The Gluttonous Slimes, in theory, didn't have such strong resistance to fire and frost.
Even though Kael had previously made a series of adjustments to the Gluttonous Slimes to some degree enhance their resistance to such things, but...
There was still a slight difference.
So indeed, the thinking of the God of Ice Church wasn't wrong; extremely cold weather could influence the Gluttonous Slimes' power to some degree but not reduce their combat power as much as they'd hoped.
But the precondition for all of this... was that they themselves could endure such extremely cold weather.
If they wanted to rely on marching under the whiteness of snow, the prerequisite was at least that they could withstand the effects of such weather to even have the qualification to stand before Kael and the Rangers to truly begin the battle.
