The Steady Wizard: From Heart-Switch Rat to Dimensional Demon

Although Isaac still had some doubts about Angel's motives, he did not dwell on it too much. Instead, he leaned back and leaned on the chair, with a slight smile on his face: "So, we can cooperate in a friendly manner again this time?"

Although this seemed to be said to Filo and Angel, Isaac's eyes were mainly on the eldest princess Filo. After all, who made her have a criminal record?

Filo knew what Isaac meant, but she had no other thoughts except being unhappy, because under normal circumstances, she would definitely not be able to resist stabbing him from behind.

After all, as a mad witch with a relatively pure bloodline, freeloading is their usual operation. If possible, she did not want to give away "her own" Kaleidoscope Eye and Time Page.

But unfortunately, this is an abnormal situation...

Isaac is probably the only old-time mad witch in the current era. He is a madman who dares to snatch power directly from the hands of the Outer God. He is very powerful and courageous. Of course, the most important thing is that he is very strong. She is not Isaac's opponent.

Angel, her hard power is only average, but her time ability is very strange and difficult to deal with. Moreover, the Witch Country behind her is very protective and her background is not worse than hers.

Things are different now. Now she can no longer calculate the two of them like before

"Of course, but if you want to act alone, please do so." Filo looked at Isaac calmly.

She wants to seize this country with her own strength. Of course, the premise is that Isaac does not interfere.

But she has not grown up during this period. At least she has some understanding of Isaac. Although Isaac is a mad witch of the old times, he is very modern in his style of doing things. He is very similar to the arcane master and follows the principle of equivalent exchange.

Unlike her, who is a crazy wizard who wants to snatch anything he sees at the first sight, this guy, once he leaves the realm of the Outer Gods, he is not only a crazy wizard, but also innocent and doesn't look like a legendary wizard!

So even if she doesn't get Isaac's help, she can get Isaac to stand aside and watch by paying a certain amount of benefits.

But compared to Isaac, Angel is not so easy to deal with. The hatred between them is quite deep. If Isaac hadn't intervened, they would probably have fought.

So it stands to reason that Filo should try his best to win over Isaac, and shouldn't confront Isaac and push him out.

But as I just said, in the realm that does not involve the Outer Gods, Isaac is a wizard very close to the arcane master. He acts with interests as the guide. As long as there are enough benefits, he will not care about these words.

And she happened to have something very important to Isaac in her hand...

Sure enough...

Isaac, leaning on the chair, smiled lightly, looked at Filo and said: "Just kidding, it's my honor to cooperate with the princess, then, please tell me about the situation of this country, I'm too lazy to ask the outer gods, it's too troublesome."

After the words fell, everyone's eyelids slightly raised, even Filo, who was sure that Isaac would cooperate in advance, couldn't help but look at Isaac in surprise. This man is really the craziest crazy witch!

Ask the outer gods for such a trivial matter? !

However, although Filo and the others were very surprised by this, they actually didn't know that Isaac was helpless. There was no way. He really had no effective channel to obtain intelligence and knew only a little about the situation of the Kingdom of Itra.

Actions here under such circumstances would be extremely dangerous!

Maybe he would fall into someone's trap without knowing it. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will win every battle. Intelligence is very important.

Besides, as the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed. He will not hold the evil god ceremony just for intelligence, but he must take something. When is a transaction not a transaction?

Philo looked at Isaac deeply, and then asked: "Before talking about the situation here, how much do you know about this country?"

"There is a time cover here, and an uprising is happening."

"There is a kaleidoscope eye here, and an uprising happens every year."

Philo: "..."

Philo raised his hand and gently supported his forehead. Should we say that these two people are skilled and brave? Or are they simply reckless? They dared to come here just knowing these?

"Well, that means you don't know anything, so I'll tell you in detail." After a pause, Philo looked at the two and asked, "First of all, guess the number of troops on both sides of this conflict?"

"The number of troops?" Isaac thought for a while, then said, "Itra is just a small country, and it is a country where uprisings happen every year. Regardless of whether it is caused by internal or external factors, the internal military force should not be too strong, and the total should be only 10,000 or 20,000?"

It's not that Isaac looks down on the Kingdom of Itra, but although this world has supernatural powers, the number of troops is similar to that of the ancient times in the previous life. After all, the army cannot be full of ordinary people, and there must be some extraordinary people as management.

Therefore, the number of troops will not be too high. If there are more, they cannot be supported.

Isaac overestimated the number of 10,000 or 20,000. He even counted the cannon fodder slave troops and logistics troops as the death squad, otherwise it would be even less.

You must know that Solomon, as a border noble, has to guard against the black orcs in the wasteland all year round. Their standing main battle corps has only more than 3,000 people. In addition to a large part of the funds being used to support the eldest sister's spell learning, another reason is that if the number is a little more, it will affect the population structure of the territory.

Although Itla was a kingdom, its overall area was only two or three times larger than Solomon's today, and the number of troops was not particularly high.

However, facing Isaac's guess, Philo shook his head, and then said a number that made Isaac and Smith stunned.

I saw Philo's red lips slightly opening, and he said quietly: "The number of the main battle armies of the Kingdom of Itla and the rebel army totals one million!"

"???" Isaac looked confused, "Young Master?"

Angel on the side had no reaction at first when she heard this number, but after seeing Isaac being so surprised, she also showed a slightly surprised expression. Is this a lot?

"Mr. Smith, is one million troops an exaggeration for a country?" Angel was not the only one who was confused. Lorna behind Isaac was also confused about this. She couldn't help but whisper to the equally surprised Smith beside her. asked.

"Well, it's very exaggerated..." Smith glanced at Lorna who looked confused, and for a while he was a little worried about how to popularize relevant knowledge to her. After all, Lorna is a very standard illiterate, but after a simple idea, Smith said, " An army of one million main battles will cost at least one million gold coins every day!”

"Such an exaggeration!" Lorna was stunned.

Isaac frowned and asked Philo in confusion: "Why are there so many? Is this unreasonable? With the area of ​​​​Etra, it is impossible to support such a large army. It doesn't even matter whether he has such a large population. Yes, what's going on?"

In addition to these two points, there is another doubtful point, which is what Smith said in order to make Lorna understand. It is easy for a one million main battle army to burn one million gold coins every day.

Although ordinary soldiers can't spend a single gold coin a day, don't forget that there are a large number of first- and second-level extraordinary beings in the army. According to the normal establishment, every army of ten thousand people must have at least one high-level knight.

One hundred high knights...

The Kingdom of Itla definitely does not have them, but the corresponding positions must be at least second-level extraordinary ones. These extraordinary people will spend a lot of money just for food, not to mention being equipped with weapons and armor.

The one million cannot all be infantry. There must be other types of soldiers. After all, one million gold coins a day has to be spent sparingly. With this money, what can't be done?

In this world where great power belongs to oneself, if these one million main battle armies are not led by corresponding high-level knights, ten high-level knights will be enough to push them evenly!

The price/performance ratio is extremely low.

"Indeed, according to normal logic, the Kingdom of Itla cannot afford to support so many troops, and even if it could, it would not do so." Philo nodded, echoing Isaac's statement, and then the topic changed. Turn, talking about but, "But, the Kingdom of Itla has a treasure called the Tree of Life. This treasure can create a humanoid life form that does not need to eat, drink, or get tired. The army of the Kingdom of Itla is Made up of this kind of living thing.”

"Is there such a thing?" Isaac was a little surprised, and then fell into deep thought, "If that's the case, then you can really afford to support so many troops... Is this actually your real goal?"

Isaac suddenly asked.

"As expected, I can't hide it from you. Yes, this is my goal, but this thing is different from other treasures. It will not be released for exchange, so I need to seize the entire Kingdom of Itla." Philo said simply and neatly .

Isaac looked deeply at Philo. He knew that she still had a lot of things to say about this. For example, why did the people of the Kingdom of Itla use such a precious treasure with such great fanfare? Aren't they afraid of being like Philo? Are people like Luo coming to rob it?

Although he was curious, Isaac did not ask because he knew that Philo would not tell, so he asked another question: "Is the Kingdom of Itla preparing so many troops for this uprising? You all arranged What kind of sacrificial ceremony?"

"This...that's a lot." Philo spread his hands helplessly. It wasn't that she didn't say anything, but that she couldn't finish it in a short while, and she didn't know everything.

But these words were enough for Isaac.

From this point of view, the uprising of the Kingdom of Itla was similar to what he had guessed before. It was indeed a venue for other wizards to provide rituals. The difference was that the Kingdom of Itla did not want to be a venue, but had already become a venue for the ritual!

And it looks like a high-end venue! The kind that doesn’t deserve to know even if you don’t have any identity!

That's right, the rituals here should all be blood sacrifice rituals. They are rituals that are expressly prohibited by the Parliament of Truth and several major empires, and cannot be widely publicized.

"Then what should we do here? Or who is our opponent?" Isaac pondered for a moment and asked the more critical question.

Angel's eyes flickered, and she hesitated for a moment but still didn't speak, because although she had seen the future scene from the original book and roughly knew what kind of war mode it would be, she only had a general understanding, and she certainly didn't know the details as well as Philodo. .

"It's very simple. The Royal Army and the Rebel Army are facing each other. Each side has 500,000 ready-made troops. To supplement and expand the army in the future, you need to collect resource points to recruit. The Royal Army and the Rebel Army each have fifty foreign aid quotas. With Yit The north-south junction is divided into the Lashan area, and the final victory condition is to invade the opponent's base camp."

"War mode?" Isaac pondered and nodded. In this case, he had a bit of an advantage. After all, he had a 2,002-level Great Sword Demon, which was invincible on the battlefield!

but……

Isaac asked curiously: "The rebels also have 50 foreign aid quotas. Are the resource treasures they can exchange the same as ours?"

"Some are the same, some are not." It was not Filo who answered this question, but Angel on the side. "The treasure house is divided into two parts. One is the basic part, which contains some relatively basic resources, such as the witch's certificate you want to exchange. The kingdom army and the rebels each have a part. The other is the core treasure house, which can only be exchanged by the final winner. The time cover page I want and the kaleidoscope eye you want are both in it."

After speaking, Angel looked at Filo, "As for the secret treasure she wants... It is not in these two treasure houses. It can only be obtained by sacrificing all the royal bloodlines of Itra."

"All bloodlines?" Isaac didn't react, but Filo frowned first.

"You don't know?" Looking at Filo's surprised expression, Isaac laughed.

"Humph!" Facing Isaac's gloating ridicule, Filo snorted a little unhappy, and then looked at Angel, wanting to confirm the news.

"You in the future did sacrifice all the royal family members of Itra to finally get the treasure." Angel said.

"So, we won in the end? No high-level forces participated in this war?" Isaac said with some surprise.

Although Isaac was confident, he was not sure of winning, because according to his intelligence, this war did not seem to limit the participation of high-level forces, and many things in the treasure house were attractive to high-level forces, such as his target, the Kaleidoscope Eye, and Angel's target, the Time Page.

"There are no third-level extraordinary people." Filo took over the conversation with a disdainful expression, "Because the strongest person in Itla is a fourth-level miracle knight, and he is a fourth-level person who has entered the end of his life, so he is worried that attracting too many third-level strong people will lead to wolves entering the house, so he agreed with all forces to only allow second-level extraordinary people to enter."

"I see." Isaac nodded, and then showed an arrogant expression, "Then the three of us, won't we just kill indiscriminately?"

"That's right." It was rare that Filo reached a consensus with Isaac on this matter, and he also showed an arrogant smile.

After all, this is the fundamental reason why she wants to cooperate with Isaac.
