Riding and Slashing

Chapter 413 Life is awe-inspiring

Li Ang turned around and gave Kavala a thumbs up.

Kavala is probably not good at using people, but he is by no means an idiot, and his ability to use soldiers is unquestionable—the Snake Cult army that went north before was all bait!
From the very beginning, it was not the troops of the Snake Worship Cult that were really used to attack Emperor Lingang!
Li Ang really didn't expect that Kavala would be willing to give up almost all the strength of the Snake Cult that had finally infiltrated into Pendor Continent.

It turned out that Malbert's role was only to delay time and further reduce the troops of Emperor Lingang...

No wonder Kavala didn't let Malbert's plan succeed, because he didn't want Li Ang to leave Emperor Lingang!
The army of the Snake Cult led away most of the troops from the two countries, and Brutus also took away Alina's guards. Now, besides the hundreds of militiamen in charge of security and security in Emperor Lingang, only Li Ang is left. Guards, the Silver Hand.

The total force is only more than 400 people, of which less than [-] are from the Silver Hand, and there are more than a hundred militiamen on the city wall... and now Arina is trapped in the Governor's Mansion, unable to send orders to the outside world, and the residents of Emperor Lingang are also unable to mobilize stand up.

The nearest reinforcements are in the village of Buyulin. More than 1000 wounded stayed in Buyulin for treatment, and there were hundreds of people from the Knights of the Glorious Cross there. , so they stayed where they were and received treatment from the Knights of the Radiant Cross.

But Buyulin Village is more than 60 miles away from Dilingang, and by the time they got the news, probably a day had passed.

Maritin's fleet is about to land, and the Viper troops are blocked outside the Governor's Mansion, and he is injured and unable to move, unable to escape...

It seems to be a desperate situation.

But I have gone through too many desperate situations...

Until the last moment, Li Ang will not give up hope.

Having experienced so many things, Li Ang has been able to remain calm when encountering anything.

"Your Majesty Kavala, what are you going to talk to me about?"

Anyway, since he doesn't have much combat power now, Li Ang simply sat down.

Wendy planned to walk to Li Ang's side, but Li Ang waved his hand and didn't let Wendy approach.

"It's amazing how calm you can be."

Kavala praised, and then looked down at Li Ang condescendingly: "You should know what I want to talk to you... You can't escape now, Li Ang, do you want to live?"

"Alive?"

Li Ang sneered: "Is it considered alive like Malbert?"

Kavala pushed himself into a desperate situation, naturally to force himself to sign a soul contract, just like when he took advantage of the danger to force Maltis and Malbert.

After being controlled all his life, the former king now seems to always want to control everyone...

"As long as I don't agree, you have nothing to do with me, right? At most, let the fleet outside land and kill me... But even so, what can you get? The army of the Snake Cult is your own Right? But you have already used them all as bait and gave up... As long as you can't control me, you still can't get anything..."

Li Ang kept looking into Kavala's eyes, and said a lot with a smile.

To be precise, he was looking at Malbert's expression.

Malbert was controlled by Kavala, looking at Li Ang, but his expression was very strange.

It feels like I'm looking at something and thinking about something else, that is, there is focus, but I don't take it to heart...

"Hahaha... Li Ang, it's true as you said, if I can't control you, I can't get anything. But you're not the only one here, you may not be afraid of death, but what about the ladies around you? What about the loyal subordinates? Are you willing to let them all die with you?"

Kavala, or Malbert said with a blank face.

Wendy and Alina frowned together, but did not speak.

And Li Ang was stunned for a moment.

But Li Ang was stunned, not because Kavala was threatening him with Wendy and Alina, but because of Malbert's expression.

Kavala was laughing, and his tone was a little smug—but at this moment, Malbert's expression was like a puppet, his tone and expression did not match at all, and it was very different from when Malbert himself spoke.

It appears that this is not complete control...

Being manipulated is completely different from being fully occupied. The manipulated person actually knows what she is doing in the process of being controlled—just like Martis, she always knew what she was doing during the years she was manipulated. What, just can't control it.

In other words, when Kavala controlled Malbert, Malbert actually had his own consciousness, but he couldn't express it.

Malbert is a kind of conscious occupation of Ahlers' body. Although he can only gain control after Ahlers loses consciousness, at least everything in this body, including the thinking of the brain, is completely controlled by Malbert. All behaviors are no different from normal people.

But Kavala can only control Malbert's behavior, he cannot use the 'occupation' method, because directly occupying the body of the aborigine would violate the rules and be exiled into the void.

In other words, Kavala's remote control of Malbert is probably similar to how Li Ang controls a character when he plays a game - he can act, talk, use the character's own skills, and observe through the character's five senses things, but no control over the mind of the character itself.

Just to control its actions, of course there is no need to control micro-expressions, so Malbert looks like a sculpture.

The current state is probably similar to Li Ang's conversation with Kavala's statue in Sarleon City before, except that the character Kavala controlled was that statue.

He can only control the behavior of the person who has signed the soul contract, and he can only control one at a time, because his consciousness must be devoted to the person being manipulated...

Perhaps it is necessary to enter the soul space of a person to manipulate it?
Then, the so-called soul contract...

Isn't this the relationship between the player and the character?
Players can control the character, and can also create multiple characters, but only one of them can be selected at a time.

But if it is a character who has not signed a soul contract and wants to forcibly control it, it is tantamount to forcibly controlling other NPCs in violation of regulations, which is definitely cheating.

What are the consequences of cheating?
Deleted by GM...

Those gods who were exiled to the void, isn't it the same as being deleted by the GM of the God of Creation?
Using Alles to hide Malbert, and using Viper Spies to hide other controlled Snake Cult priests, this is probably for better concealment, so that no one will find out.

But these people now have two souls. Malbert and Kavala have signed a soul contract, but Arles has not signed one!

Moreover, Malbert's thinking is independent...

Kavala, Kavala, the character you control is risky...

Intending to control everyone, this is your desire, right?
But this desire is also risky...

Thinking of this, Li Ang smiled.

"Kavala, you really took advantage of my weakness, I really can't bear to let Wendy and Alina die here..."

Li Ang asked Kavala with a humble smile: "Okay, I admit it, how do you sign your soul contract? I will sign it now."

"Hahaha...you just need to close your eyes and let your whole body relax, then you will see me in your dream..."

Kavala laughed.

It seems that the oath made in the dream is the soul contract.

That's right, many gods use dreams to fool people.

Moreover, when he was in the temple, Kavala also relaxed his whole body—probably to disarm his sense of defense, so that his consciousness could be projected into his soul space?

Now, Li Ang has a plan in mind...

"In the dream... Do you mean that you will come to my soul space? I need to swear allegiance to you face to face in the soul space, right?"

Li Ang intends to ask thoroughly, his words are very humble, and his attitude is very soft.

"That's right... Li Ang, close your eyes, you know what to do..."

Kavala probably also felt that he had a chance to win, so he answered quite gently.

Li Ang now made up his mind.

He closed his eyes.

"Lee Ang!"

Wendy cried out in panic.

"Wendy, I can only do this... Don't worry, just step back."

Li Ang turned his head to comfort him softly, waved his hand to keep Wendy away from him, then blinked at Alina twice, turned his head and closed his eyes again.

Alena seemed to understand something, she pulled Wendy back into the corner, staring into Alos' eyes.

Li Ang was concentrating on trying to sleep.

To be honest, it is actually not easy to relax and relax into a light sleep state at this time.

It was daytime now, and there was a war outside, so of course Li Ang was worried about the casualties of his brothers; plus there was an approaching fleet on the sea, Li Ang was actually quite nervous all the time, but he didn't show it.

In addition, he has a wound under his armpit, and the wound is the most painful when it is being treated...

But Li Ang still entered a trance-like state within a few minutes, and then saw his soul space again.

It was still a gray chaotic space, with some purple light seeping inside.

But this time, the purple light became stronger, filling the entire space with a faint halo.

The image of Kavala in the soul space is still a golden phantom, which still looks full of oppression.

Also, Kavala didn't come alone - he brought Malbert's soul with him.

Malbert's spirit body looks very similar to what Anna once looked like, a pure black figure.

"Your Majesty Kavala, I actually know that you still plan to kill me... I guess you still plan to throw me into the abyss, just like when you asked Anna to deal with me, right?"

Li Ang is now familiar with the way of communication between spirit bodies, and he can communicate with consciousness without moving his mouth...

In fact, he knew that Kavala would not sign any soul contract with him - Kavala was not at ease about the soul contract, and Maltis was a lesson from the past.

When he was in Sarleon City before, Kavala had made it clear that he would throw Li Ang into the abyss.

"That's right, hahaha... Li Ang, I thought I could only see you die here. But now, you can only go to the abyss no matter what. Of course, you may also go through the abyss again to come to the temple— —but that's better..."

Kavala replied calmly.

"Yeah, if I go to the temple again, you will have another chance to escape there..."

Li Ang also spoke calmly: "But Malbert is not Anna, can his little soul spell really send me to the abyss?"

"You'll know if you try it... But, you are really bold, and now you don't even have the slightest intention of being afraid?"

Kavala probably wasn't particularly sure about Malbert's ability, and he was a little uncertain about Li Ang's meaning now, because Li Ang in the soul space didn't feel weak at all—spiritual bodies couldn't lie.

"Ha, why should I be afraid, Malbert?"

Li Ang said with a smile: "Kavala, this is my soul space. No matter how powerful your soul contract is, it is impossible to control Malbert in my soul. You want to use Malbert to deal with me... But Have you forgotten? Anna also promised you to deal with me in the spirit state, that is to say, Anna actually signed a contract with you—but what did she choose in the end? You still don’t accept the lesson..."

As soon as he finished speaking, or just finished thinking, Li Ang heard a piercing howl.

That was Malbert casting a spell.

He didn't cast spells on Leon, nor did he deal with Kavala-he couldn't cast spells on Kavala, which was his contracted host.

But he does cast spells.

"Haha... Malbert's soul belongs to you... So, what will happen if Malbert casts a spell on his own soul?"

Li Ang couldn't lie in his current state, so naturally he couldn't hide anything.

But now it doesn't matter if you hide it or not.

"Malbe... eh?"

Kavala seemed to want to say something, but his voice stopped abruptly.

This is in the soul space, this is spirit body communication, this kind of sudden silence after speaking only means one thing - Kavala has lost consciousness!
Kavala probably didn't have time to figure it out, and it's probably hard to figure it out again.

Because Li Ang's eyes were blurred, he returned to the study.

Li Ang has already left his soul space.

He is forcibly awakened by Arina.

Alina did understand Li Ang's hint, although Li Ang just blinked.

Because, after Li Ang closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, Malbert's eyes changed—when both Malbert and Kavala arrived in Li Ang's soul space, Arles' expression returned to the hypnotized infatuation. Stupid state.

Alina knows how to wake up the spies - this kind of self-hypnosis has a "key" to wake up, this "key" is actually just a word or a certain part of the body, hearing the word or being poked This part will wake up immediately.

At the moment of seeing Ales return to the hypnotic state, Alina woke Ales and Leon together in time.

Of course, it's very simple to wake up Li Ang, just pinch it, Li Ang is just equivalent to sleeping.

However, waking up Li Ang and Ales at this time is tantamount to closing the two soul spaces—the soul spaces of Li Ang and Ales are both closed.

This is to seal the consciousness of Kavala and Malbert together - they will be left in Li Ang's soul space, and Malbert probably won't be able to return to Arles' body.

Kavala's performance has made Li Ang understand that as long as he is a complete life and has a sense of defense, then the soul space cannot be invaded, and neither can God.

Maltis also said to Leon that life is worthy of awe. People with complete lives cannot be controlled, even the strongest gods can't do it. They can only sign contracts with people by deception.

The gods can control others through the soul contract, because the soul contract sells the human soul to the gods—that is, this life is no longer complete.

But Li Ang is now a complete life. Since even the gods can't invade by force, the two who have entered his soul space, of course, can't escape.
