"Didn't you have a second cut?" Ferry asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "You wouldn't even see who the other person was?"

"I just didn't see it. The sword slashed and flew back the way it came. Hermeth breathed a sigh of relief and led me here. Master Swo seemed to be tired, he stuck the sword of the earth on the ground, and leaned against the sword with the unconscious Bi in his arms, "I've finished talking about everything, and you know the rest." ”

Master Mermo nodded, "Thank you for your description. You didn't see anyone fighting you, but I can almost confirm my suspicions - the knife is the best proof. ”

"Do you know that kind of giant war knife?" said As, shaking his head, "why don't I have a little impression, I am still very familiar with the various swords on the continent. ”

"Mr. As, your familiarity is probably just the weapons you usually see. That kind of war knife is unique, and there is only one place in the entire eastern and western continents. Master Mermo said in a deep voice, "And on the Eastern Continent, I believe it has not yet appeared." ”

"You mean the weapons of the Western Continent?" Ace touched his chin, "Then I may not have heard of it, so you can tell me about its origin." ”

"Actually, to be precise, that war knife didn't come from the Western Continent. Its official name is 'Blood Cry'. Speaking of this, Master Mermer's face became solemn, "I think you are no strangers to the Realm of Death, distinguished guests. ”

"The land of the dead?" muttered Catherine, who was well versed in history and geography.

If the human history of the Eastern Continent is inextricably linked to the dragons, then studying the pattern of the human kingdom in the Western Continent will definitely not be able to bypass the kings of the Death Realm.

For a long time, communication between the eastern and western continents has been maintained by sea. However, this exchange became very limited due to the lack of stable air routes.

Although some adventurers have suggested that in the vast and boundless underground world, there must be a passage connecting the two continents. However, Catherine scoffed at this argument, and the plan of crossing the underground world was not even as feasible as trying to cross the infinite desert.

After a limited exchange, scholars on the eastern and western continents discovered that the two continents now called the eastern and western continents are actually on the same huge landmass, but there is a barren area between the two that is difficult for ordinary people to cross.

This barren land is said to be extremely large, and in the case of the eastern continent where Catherine is located, the western lake area is called the "Endless Desert". At present, there is no written record on the Eastern Continent that anyone has ever crossed the desert with harsh living conditions and successfully reached the Western Continent on the other side.

At the easternmost end of the Western Continent is a wetland grassland called the "Yingge Wasteland". Although the natural environment of Yingge Wasteland is equally harsh, it is not a desert without grass after all.

According to the "History of the Western Continent", the kings' armies originally passed through the Yingge Wasteland and entered the kingdom of the Fanxi Continent.

The people of the Western Continent used to use the term "Dead Realm" to summarize the power of the kings. It's just that the kings' troops are dominated by undead creatures, so some scholars and politicians in the Western Continent believe that there should be a "dead country" composed of undead souls.

But this so-called kingdom is not an exaggeration to say that it is apocryphal. Whether it is real or not, has not been confirmed in any way.

At present, the most popular argument in the academic circles of the Western Continent is to assume that the Death Realm is located between the Wasteland of Yingge and the Infinite Desert. However, scholars in the Eastern Continent have little interest in the study of the Dead Realm. For even if this kingdom existed, the vast desert was an impenetrable natural barrier for kings.

Moreover, the tentacles of the kings had never touched the Eastern Continent, and scholars had no first-hand information to study. They are more concerned about uncovering the secrets of "The Legend of the Elf King", or delving into the survival status of the dragons.

When Catherine first heard about the "Dead Realm", she immediately had an ominous premonition in her heart. Are the kings really coming?

The female mage looked at Master Mermo and said word by word, "As far as I know, there has been no war in the Western Continent for hundreds of years since the 'Divine Arbitration' was signed. Do you mean that the kings have set their eyes on us?"

"I'm not sure about that. Master Mermo hurriedly denied it, "But the 'Blood Cry' is indeed from the Realm of Death." I wonder if Captain Catherine knows anything about the lives of those kings?"

"I have read two books on the history of the Western Continent, and I only know that there are about seven or eight kings with names and surnames. A few fell in the war, and the rest were seriously wounded and retreated. "Catherine doesn't know much about the history of war, and even less about the history of war in the Western Continent.

"To be precise, three kings have fallen and four have been seriously wounded. Master Mermo nodded, "But there is one more king who has not appeared directly on the battlefield. ”

"That cry of blood is his sword?" Ace was very concerned about the giant sword.

"Nope. "Master Mermo doesn't seem to like to finish all at once," said the king, who did not appear on the battlefield, but his generals participated in all the battles. The Cry of Blood was the weapon of one of the generals. ”

A bright bolt of lightning streaked through the "boom" sky, illuminating the heavens and the earth as if it were day. At that moment, Catherine suddenly saw three tall figures appear in the distance. They appeared to be on horseback, but they walked slowly, as if they were patrolling the army.

"Here they come, here they come. After the lightning, Frost's cry rang out again. The madwoman stumbled forward, one of her hands hanging by her side—like the chest of a tailor shopkeeper—and most of her arm turned black-gray.

"I'll kill one of them. Fei Shuang said quite smugly.

"You'd better show me your arm first. Master Mermo stepped forward to take a closer look, "How many of them are here?"

"Three, I killed one. Fei Shuang looked up to the sky and laughed, "With a knife, the head was cut off." But the guy grabbed me by the arm, but luckily I chopped off his hand again and escaped. ”

Master Mermo glanced at the three figures looming in the darkness in the distance, and did not comment on Fei Shuang's words.

"If you want to keep this arm, it's best not to do it again. When I get back, I'll find a way to get rid of the corrupt smell from your hands. Master Mermo said solemnly.

"In that case, Lady Fisher, you go now, and please take Silly with you. Lady Vicie ordered, "Mr. Fangbi, you and Feishuang can go together, and Mr. Gray Cloud will be taken care of by you." Master Mermo, you take the five warriors and invite the Divine Radiance back. ”

"Wait, Lady Vicie. My regiment, I can't go with you. ”

"Really?" said Lady Visie, smirking slightly, "This Mr. Greenwind was frozen because he forcibly activated the Holy Radiance. Now only the sacrifices of the royal court can save him. Captain Catherine, if you don't let me save him, then please send him to the Radiant Forest within two days. ”

Catherine opened her mouth, but could not say a word. Ace put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it gently.

After the anvil left everyone, Green Wind was afraid that he would not be able to escape the fate of being in prison. The female mage's heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness, and she silently leaned into As's arms, scared like never before.

Could it be Asa next?

Catherine frightened herself at the thought. What a terrible thing it would be if the man behind her also left her.

One by one, the commissioners of Corner City evacuated. Now, apart from the Kuhl Mercenaries and Master Swo, only Lady Visy and the seventeen Elven War Squads are left. And the goblin scholar, who was in no trace, disappeared again.

The frequency of lightning and thunder in the sky was accelerating, and lightning kept tearing through the black sky, and the night sky let out an unwilling cry like a wounded beast.

The ice particles on the ground had accumulated ten centimeters thick like snow, but the endless hail was still pouring wildly. Catherine couldn't feel the cold all over, but her teeth began to flutter uncontrollably.

The three figures in the distance were getting closer and closer to Hermeth's skeleton, and now by the light of lightning, they could be roughly seen.

These are definitely not creatures that can be described in normal words, they are much taller and more burly than strong humans. Matching it, the mount underneath him is also an unimaginably tall horse. Although it is not certain, their overall height should be more than three meters.

The pace at which they marched remained unchanged from beginning to end - steady, powerful, resolute. Like three humanoid boulders, slowly moving forward, before they could get to the front, a suffocating pressure had already formed.

Catherine watched them, her teeth pounding up and down faster and louder, and even her whole body trembled.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid!" the female mage clenched her fists and gritted her teeth with all her might. But it was all in vain, it was a horror from the depths of the soul that drowned Catherine like a stormy wave.

"Catherine, Catherine! Wake up. Ace noticed something was wrong with the female mage, and he took Catherine into his arms and pressed her face against his chest.

"Plop, plop" The sound of a strong and powerful heartbeat cried out rhythmically in Catherine's ear. Gradually, the sound overshadowed the hail and thunder. Catherine finally regained her breath and regained control of her body.

She looked up just in time to see Ace looking at her. The eyes of the two met each other, and they invariably saw themselves in each other's eyes.

"Bi, it's time for you to wake up. Lady Vicie walked up to Master Sworth and said, "You should know exactly who we are up against. I need your help. ”

"That's right, Captain Catherine. Lady Vicie turned back to the mage and said, "If you can still cast some spells, I'd like your help." ”
