Time passed, and several days passed in the blink of an eye. During these days, Qianjue and Longshe took turns to clean up the void creatures, and then returned to Hearth, where Balliard ordered the little boy to absorb the void energy from them.

This is also a good job for the little boy. Void energy exists outside the void and must absorb rune energy to make a living. Without the supply of rune energy, the void energy will gradually starve to death.

Balliard will not often give the little boy rune energy. Even if he does, the amount will not be too much. If the little boy wants to save his life, he must continue to absorb void energy and replace the dead ones with living void energy.

of void energy.

However, the little boy did not cleanse the dead void energy out of his body. The void energy only lost its activity after it died, just like some metabolites on the human skin. It died but was still on the body.

Moreover, it is also useful. These dead void energies that have lost their activity can also corrode the creatures they come into contact with, but they have lost the characteristic of devouring the opponent's energy.

Swallowing is the most important point of the void. Void energy that cannot swallow runic energy has no other use except causing some trouble for the opponent.

On the other side, Malzahar and Vel'Koz also noticed that when Kindred and Longshe came out to clean up void creatures every day, there was almost no void energy left on their bodies.

What does this mean? Their consumption tactics have not had the desired effect, and there is no point in continuing to consume.

"How are you doing with your injuries?"

Vel'Koz began to calculate their chances of winning in launching a general attack now. Time was running out. According to Brand, there were only a few days left until Ornn forged the Heart of Frost. In order to prevent accidents, they had to launch the attack a few days in advance.

attack.

"The injury hasn't healed yet, but I have suppressed him. That guy who looks like a human is not simple."

The scene of the flying knife flying over appeared in front of Malzahar's eyes. The surrounding space was solidified and time almost stopped. The flying knife suddenly appeared in front of his eyes across space and time.

If he hadn't been temporarily immune to any magic that could restrict him, breaking through the restrictions of Longshe's knife and entering the void, his current injuries wouldn't be just that.

It was a truly fatal flying knife, coming from a top killer. The "will to die" carried on that flying knife made even Malzahar feel frightened.

If it weren't for that person's low strength, I'm afraid Malzahar would have been seriously injured and on the verge of death this time.

"He is not a human being, so you need to be careful. However, he is not yet able to exert his full strength. After giving you that knife, his strength will decline significantly in the next few days, and he will no longer be a threat."

Vel'Koz knows Longshe's true identity. He has seen Longshe before, because demigods are the objects of Vel'Koz's attention, and Longshe was once a demigod.

"That would save a lot of trouble."

Malzahar attaches great importance to Longshe, and there are not many people who can pose a threat to him. On the one hand, because he is a prophet and can see through the future, he knows what will happen to many things before he executes them.

happen in the future.

However, this ability failed when he met Balliard. He could not see through the future related to Balliard, as if that future did not exist, there was no future... So what about the past?

On the other hand, he can freely shuttle between reality and the void. If he encounters danger, he can escape with his body into it. In this way, no one can really hit him. After all, he is no longer in the same space.

As for Longshe's flying knife, it really must kill him across space and time. This killer is very pure.

"When can we launch an attack?"

Brand's face is very ugly. It is a skull face, burning with flames. When he is unhappy, he looks like a ghost face burning with flames, which is weird and disgusting.

He was not allowed to act without authorization, but Malzahar acted without authorization and was injured as a result. This made Brand lose his temper. Even now, he is still very dissatisfied with Malzahar's behavior. He wants to

Vent your anger.

"As for time... tomorrow?"

Malzahar told a time that he was the planner and executor of this plan. Brand was just a pawn in this action. Even a key pawn could not affect Malzahar's decision.

As for Vel'Koz, he just stopped by to help. There was no need to give advice or talk too much about Malzahar's plan. Anyway, all decisions were made by Malzahar himself. When the plan failed, Malzahar would not be able to blame Vikko.

On Kurtz's head.

"Tomorrow is tomorrow, do you want to keep those miscellaneous soldiers?"

But Vel'Koz knows that the best opportunity to attack is actually now. Every day that time is delayed, the killer's strength will recover by one point. This is an extremely unstable and dangerous factor.

Although Malzahar was injured, Longshe forced himself to exert his strength as a demigod, and suffered much more damage than Malzahar. Malzahar is now immune to the effects of his injuries, but Longshe must not be able to.

But tomorrow, the danger will increase.

"Yes, although these are miscellaneous soldiers, they have come to Rune Land, fought here, and devoured many corpses of the same kind. Compared with the miscellaneous soldiers in the void, their strength is much higher.

If the plan goes well, next we will

We have to invade the entire Rune Land. These miscellaneous soldiers are also considered important combat forces and can be sent to various regions. As elite troops, they cannot be wiped out by the aftermath of our battle on tomorrow's battlefield."

Malzahar would not have any feelings for the soldiers. Even for the little boy, who could be considered his child, Malzahar had no feelings at all.

He doesn't care about the little boy's life or death, but if he can keep the little boy by his side, he can be considered a good assistant, nothing more.

What he cares about most is whether the void can swallow Runeterra and whether all life can be realized - the great unification, all returning to the void.

For this reason, any powerful void creature is a card in Malzahar's hand, even these cannon fodders. If cannon fodder has no value, why would there be cannon fodder on the battlefield?

In order to capture Runeterra as soon as possible after the plan succeeds, the combat power that can be saved should be saved.

"The plan is quite far-reaching, but can you really realize your plan? So far, I have not set foot in the furnace village for the second time."

Brand ignored it and directly criticized Malzahar. He said such big words but failed to realize them. He still thought that his bragging would realize his future plans?

"Tomorrow, you will be able to step into Furnace Township and even enter the crater."

Malzahar didn't seem to think that his plan would fail. They had three demigods here, but in Hearth, there was only one demigod who could fight.

Maybe the people there thought that Baliard plus Longshe could deal with another demigod, but they didn't know that Malzahar had attracted strong reinforcements.

"Tomorrow... this is the last time I will trust you. If I don't get what I want tomorrow, I will never listen to you again."

To be honest, the appearance of Vel'Koz made Brand feel a crisis, not only because of Vel'Koz's eyes, but also because of the origins of these two demigods - the void.

Joining forces with Void is definitely seeking the skin of a tiger, but Brand has no other way to regain his strength in a short time and return to Jinghu Lake to obtain the Jade Sword.

The only person who contacted him at the beginning was Malzahar, a demigod of the void. Although it was still very dangerous to Brand, Brand was not unable to escape.

But now, there are two Void Demigods, and Brand is really not sure. If the plan of these two Void Demigods fails, they will devour his body and serve it as dessert.

After all, he is a monster born when Kegan was swallowed by the rune fragments of the world. All his energy is rune energy, and he is the favorite food of the void.

"……Can."

Malzahar seemed to understand Brand's thoughts, but if he couldn't win Furnace tomorrow, he would have no way to realize his plan for the time being.

As for finding a way to restore Brand's strength elsewhere? This must at least be a flame that can burn half of Valoran.

In other words, the "body" of the Fire Demon can restore Brand's strength to its heyday. If Brand could not fight dozens of demigods on his own, why would there be so many demigods to seal him?

Woolen cloth?

Malzahar felt that Brand now almost had the strength to fight against the demigods, which was why Brand had the confidence to leave him.

But in his eyes, the chess pieces are always chess pieces. Even if they are not by his side, can they not become his chess pieces? What a joke, when politicians are playing tricks, how many of the chess pieces they hold in their hands recognize them?

In Hearth, Balliard sat by Ornn's stove. In the extremely cold Hearth, it was warm enough by the stove. I really don't know why there was a village here before.

However, it was probably because the people in that village were willing to settle in such a place in order to be close to the God of Forging that Ornn recognized his "followers".

It is because Ornn recognized the people in Hearth that he always hated his brother because Volibear destroyed that village and no one in the whole village survived.

"The number of void creatures outside seems to have decreased."

Longshe opened his eyes and looked at the eye that Balliard took out. In the picture above, there were still large areas of void creatures dying.

However, the number of void creatures does not seem to make up as quickly as before. The number is still huge, and there are still void creatures all over the mountains and plains, but the gaps between these void creatures have become larger.

"Well - the number of deaths has indeed decreased a lot. The number of void creatures that Qian Jue killed each time in the past few days was almost the same. Anyway, it was just against a group of soldiers who could easily kill a large area. Qian Jue's

The status has not declined.

Then, the reason why Kindred’s number of kills has decreased is probably because there are fewer ‘void creatures’ today than in the past.”

Balliard also noticed this after Longshe's reminder. In the past few days, Longshe and Qianjue have been going out to clean up the void creatures, because they were worried that Balliard would be ambushed by Malzahar as soon as he went out.

Correspondingly, Balliard has been idle these days and is no longer in the mood. He has returned to the attitude of "I don't have to do anything, someone will do the troublesome things."

They don’t even pay much attention to the battlefield anymore. Anyway, there are only two high-end combat forces in the void, right? Qian Jue will deal with one, and Longshe will deal with another. No matter which one appears, Volibear’s bear will most likely come out.

also

In other words, Balliard no longer has to face those guys or get beaten, he only needs to cheer from the sidelines. In this case, why bother paying attention to the battlefield? He doesn't have much to do anyway.

"...It's coming soon."

After getting a positive answer from Valyard, Longshe also guessed Void's plan. Tomorrow, tomorrow at the latest, Void will knock on the door, and Malzahar and Brand will take action personally, but now, he

There is no status yet.

"Old Hammer, how long will it take for your heart of frost to be forged?"

"..."

Old Hammer? Do you mean Ornn? This is too bold, isn't it? This is the first time Ballyard has heard someone call Ornn that way. Moreover, since entering Hearthland from Longshe, this is the first time he has spoken to Ornn.

Aoun opened his mouth and changed the name of the demigod as soon as he opened his mouth. It was too crazy.

"Familiar title, which side are you from?"

Aoun didn't care at all what Longshe called him. He kept banging the hammer of the Heart of Frost and stopped for the first time. Aoun seemed to be recalling something.

"Don't worry about it. How long will it take?"

Longshe did not answer Aoun's question. Maybe in Longshe's eyes, there was no need to answer this kind of question. Who would be so free to indulge in some old trivial matters?
