Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 320 If you dare to attack, you will be defeated!

Mongget actually had no expectations for the cuckoos' surrender.

I just thought that if they stayed in Lienia they would just be killed, so I took them in.

Because the magic academy was completely closed and did not participate in the Shattering War, Rodel had no direct hatred with the cuckoos.

The Cuckoo Knights once joined forces with the Magic Academy to defeat the Kalia royal family.

Although the battle record seems to be good, the Kalia royal family is nothing without the 'Full Moon Queen'.

At that time, Latan and Lakkad had already come to the Golden Dynasty as relatives because of Radagon, while Lani was still young.

In other words, when the rebellion broke out at the Magic Academy, Kalia's side did not even have a character with demigod strength.

If there is a demigod who can take action, the magic academy and the cuckoos will not be able to make any waves.

However, it also reflects that the cuckoos and the magic academy are very capable of finding opportunities.

As for why Dujuan and the Magic Academy were still at large, Mongert didn't know either.

Perhaps my mother wanted to weaken the power of the Kalia royal family and the in-laws?

No matter what, the fighting power of the cuckoos is just that.

They won't bring any combat power, simply because it would be even more disadvantageous for Rodel to just sit back and watch Bai Shi completely wipe them out.

However, after seeing the replica teardrop in front of him, Mongget finally had some expectations.

With the imitation teardrop, things are different.

In terms of high-end combat power, the imitation teardrop is still quite impressive.

If the teardrop in front of me could exert its due strength, it would definitely be of great use.

At this time, the teardrop replica in front of Mongett spoke:

"The entire Cuckoo Corps can be handed over to you."

"I have only one condition: information about the deep roots."

“I’d like to go there if I can.”

After hearing what the Fake Teardrop said, Mungette asked:
"Trading the Cuckoo Corps for information?"

"Really..."

The teardrop replica on the opposite side saw that Mongett did not answer and misunderstood his meaning, so he spoke again:

"The Cuckoo Corps has lost a lot of personnel, and some of them have not returned under my instructions."

"But most of the defense equipment and supplies were brought to the Yatan Plateau."

"If you don't think they're worth the price, I don't have any more leverage."

Mungette looked at the imitation teardrop in a strange way.

Is there such a way of negotiating or doing business?

He immediately took out all his chips and told the other party clearly...

"No, it just surprised me."

"One piece of information in exchange for a legion, even if it is incomplete, is definitely a sure win."

"I have no reason to refuse."

When the Fake Teardrop saw that Mongt had clearly agreed, he nodded with satisfaction.

He had no feelings about giving up the entire Cuckoo Army. He just treated the Cuckoo Army as a tool and asked them to help him do something.

Now they can be used to exchange for intelligence, which is their last use.

This is how you should treat cuckoos.

After the deal was initially reached, Mongett had no intention of ending the meeting.

Mungart said to the imitation teardrop:

"I suppose you yourself are certainly not included in the deal."

The teardrop shook his head.

“I’m not a cuckoo.”

Understanding its meaning, Monget nodded slightly.

"Do you have a name?"

The teardrop replica on the opposite side said:

"Lopez."

"This is a name given to me by an important person in the past."

Merrill, who was accompanying Lopez, glanced at it secretly and then quickly looked away.

He had served beside it for so long, and this was the first time he heard its name.

Mungette nodded.

"Lopez, OK."

"How about changing some of the terms of the deal?"

“I think this is better for both of us.”

The replica teardrop named Lopez nodded, motioning for Monget to continue.

"Then go ahead."

Monget and Lopez looked at each other and said calmly:
"To be honest, I'm not very interested in the Cuckoo Corps."

"To me, the entire Cuckoo Army combined is not as useful as you alone."

"I hope to exchange your help for something."

"So, tell me what you want."

"I will try my best to satisfy you. I believe that Rodel can bring you greater benefits than the Cuckoo Army."

Merrill on the side silently turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery.

Alas, the Cuckoo Corps is obviously quite strong, so why is it being disliked everywhere?
Lopez thought about it for a moment and immediately nodded and agreed to Monget.

At the same time, Monget also knew its conditions:

"I want to go to the bottom of the royal city, deep in the roots of the golden tree."

"I'm going to the 'Eternal City' there to find something that is important to me."

"As long as you agree, I can do it for you."

"You are very powerful. If I can imitate you, you won't be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and strength when facing Bai Shi."

Seeing that Lopez understood his idea, Mongette nodded slightly.

To fight against Baizhi, more high-end combat power is needed.

The replica teardrop in front of him could dominate Dujuan and make it unable to resist. Its strength was definitely not weak.

"To Deeproot, yes."

"Whatever you are looking for, I will have someone help you find it."

Lopez didn't hesitate and blurted out what was on his mind.

"The Teardrop Chalice."

"That's the source of the imitation tears."

"As long as you have the Holy Grail of Teardrops, you can strengthen your roots and gradually transform to the end."

"This is a must for the Simulated Teardrop Enhancement."

When Monget heard this, he looked at Lopez with some confusion.

"You haven't strengthened yet?"

Lopez shook his head, but then nodded.

"Just because I haven't obtained the Holy Grail of Teardrops doesn't mean I will always stay at the level of the past."

Mongget became interested and asked:
"Then besides the Holy Grail, how else can the Simulacrum Teardrop become stronger?"

Lopez said calmly:

"Without the Holy Grail of Teardrops, there can be no qualitative change, but there is still room for improvement in quantity."

"I have absorbed several replicant tears that roam the Junction, improving my quality."

Monggot glanced sideways.

"Can the Simulacrum Teardrop even do something like this?"

In response to Monget's question, Lopez replied:
"The power of the Mimic Teardrop is limited, and some opponents are too powerful to imitate."

"Fusion is the instinct of the Mimic Tears. It will be triggered when encountering a powerful object that cannot be imitated."

"But I'm probably the only one who will actively devour my own kind." "They haven't developed consciousness yet, so there won't be any negative effects after the fusion."

"If the other party is a teardrop with consciousness, then I cannot estimate the consequences."

After getting the answer, Mungot did not continue the topic, but asked about the Teardrop Holy Grail.

"Why are you looking for the Teardrop Holy Grail only now?"

"Obviously there is more than one 'Eternal City'."

Lopez shook his head.

"I have been searching for the Holy Grail of Teardrops all along."

"But it's not that simple. This is not something that can be solved by time."

"For so long, I have no way to return to the 'Eternal City'."

"After Latan sealed the stars, all the destinies related to the starry sky were also sealed."

"The most notable ones are the royal family of Kalia and the magicians. In addition, the 'Eternal City' has also been affected."

"It was not until some time after Latan's death that I gradually found clues to the various 'Eternal Cities'."

"Fate is so strange that it can even bind a teardrop like me..."

After understanding the reason, Mongert stopped asking questions.

Anyway, there is plenty of time to find out later.

Monget extended his big hand toward Lopez, who responded by shaking his hand.

As the two shook hands, the cooperation was reached.

Monget smiled slightly.

"Then that's it."

"Welcome to Rodel."
-
It is quite difficult for ordinary tears to find the Teardrop Holy Grail.

The 'Eternal City' has been completely destroyed and is difficult to reach. Even the roads no longer exist.

They couldn't even find the way, let alone go deep into the 'Eternal City' and explore it thoroughly to find the Teardrop Holy Grail.

Even though he controlled the Cuckoo Army and had countless followers searching for this teardrop, Lopez spent countless years trying to find it but still couldn't.

Fortunately, we have finally made progress underground and found the location of the 'Eternal City' Nox Stella.

Although they had lost their position because Stonewell had completely taken control of Lienia.

But before all troops were evacuated from Lienia, a large number of troops went underground.

It places high hopes on that force.

That is also the teardrop holy grail closest to it.

Lopez may never have imagined that some tears could be picked up by others as soon as they crawled out of the "Eternal City", and that the Holy Grail of Tears could be easily obtained from others.

I wonder what its reaction would be if it learned of this fact.
-
Bai Shi sat in Dujuan's tent, holding his head.

In front of him were the leaders of a group of Cuckoo Knights, each of them hunched their heads like quails.

"You mean..."

"A long time ago, a replica teardrop suddenly awakened its own will and took over the Cuckoo Army?"

The cuckoo leaders in front of them nodded.

"That's a monster!"

"We tried to resist, a long time ago."

"But even if we gather all the forces we can, we still cannot win."

"It can transform into any kind of creature, and it's not flesh and blood at all."

"It can even turn into a dragon!"

Bai Shi listened to the excited words of the Dujuan leaders and nodded.

It's interesting that the teardrop can transform into a dragon.

However, an ordinary dragon could not withstand the siege of so many cuckoo leaders, and I had no idea what was going on after hearing the description.

Anyway, it’s enough to know that there is such a hidden enemy.

Now that we know the other party's identity, it is easy to guess why the cuckoos appear here.

He must want them to find the Teardrop Holy Grail in the 'Eternal City' Noxstella.

For the Simulated Teardrop, that is the most important thing.

Bai Shi recalled the information that Du Juan had just told him, and asked again:
"You just said that the main force of the Cuckoo Corps has arrived at the Yatan Plateau via the Dekedas Elevator, right?"

"Is the Cuckoo Army cooperating with the Royal City Rodel now?"

Everyone looked at each other. They didn't follow the main force and didn't know much about the situation there.

However, since the legion's people went up in batches and the transfer was smooth, they must have obtained Rodel's permission.

So one of the cuckoo leaders gritted his teeth and answered Bai Shi:
"Yes... The Cuckoo Corps is now under Rodel's command."

"It's just that we are not qualified enough, and we don't know what conditions they have reached."

Bai Shi raised his eyebrows.

Although it was not unexpected, it was still somewhat surprising.

After all, cuckoos have always had a bad reputation in the border areas.

But it doesn’t matter.

Even if the cuckoos and the royal city of Rodel joined forces, it would not be a problem for Bai Shi.

Even if they try their best, how many people can they get together?
Tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands?

Now Bai Shi is much stronger than before.

Bai Shi is now more powerful than any demigod in the Shattered War.

In Bai Shi's eyes, the army was just a number that could be easily erased.

Just tens of thousands of allied forces, watch him destroy them with one blow!
If anyone dares to attack us, he will be defeated and sent back!

When you face a large army, you can also get some Runes.

Now even opponents at the level of demigods are not qualified enough to face Bai Shi.

The armies that were previously formed for war were completely useless, and he could sweep away the entire army alone.

In the future, the army will probably play the role of occupying territory and be responsible for taking over the region.

At this time, one of the cuckoo leaders flattered Bai Shi and said:

"Sir, why don't we clear the way for you to the 'Eternal City'?"

"That 'Eternal City' is incredible. It's a legacy of the Knox Dynasty..."

Bai Shi waved his hand and interrupted him.

"unnecessary."

He knew much more about the Eternal City than they did, and even knew where everything was inside.

Bai Shi stood up silently and walked out of the tent while thinking.

Seeing this terrifying guy leave, the cuckoo leaders in the tent all breathed a sigh of relief.
Survived...

But did they really survive?

The cuckoos' consciousness remained at this last moment's thought, while their bodies had turned to ashes along with the flames.

If it were in the past, Bai Shi probably wouldn't care about these cuckoos.

But since the cuckoos have already hooked up with Rodel, there is no need for mercy.

Even if they have no plans to explore the 'Eternal City' next, they will still be enemies when they return to the ground.

Since it’s convenient, I might as well just solve it here and there.

After a fire completely burned down the entire Dujuan camp without leaving any residue, Bai Shi stretched lazily.

Nox Stella must have the Teardrop Holy Grail firmly in her hands.

But the last nameless 'eternal city' is located deep underground in the royal city.

That imitation teardrop is quite close to the deep root, I wonder if it will be able to get it.

Next, it depends on the effect after Ashmi absorbs this Teardrop Holy Grail.

It would be best if it is enough to complete the transformation, otherwise you will have to go through the deep roots again.

Without thinking any more, Bai Shi passed through the anthill and arrived at the 'Eternal City' Nox Stella.

Looking at the magnificent yet silent Nox Stella under the night sky in front of him, Bai Shi slowly walked towards it.
