Chapter 211: Darkness Descends
As pirates rage, the port area of Deira City has been devastated by their raids!
The berths made of logs have burned out, and only the area built with stone barricades on the shore is still intact!
But even without mentioning the destroyed dock facilities, the most important thing is that the vast temporary warehouse and the countless goods in it have also been destroyed!
In the originally bustling open-air warehouse area, the mountains of goods have been scattered on the ground, and most of the goods have been turned into a pile of ashes that are still faintly red with the fire.
The wooden temporary warehouse where the slightly more valuable goods were stacked collapsed in the flames, and the contents of it were gradually burned out, leaving only a piece of burning wreckage!
But if it's just pirates, you can't plunge the city of Deira into complete chaos!
What's even more deadly is that the original order has already dissipated in this area with the spread of the fire!
"Chaos is the real disaster!"
"And order, whether good or evil, can bring stability, and possibly prosperity!"
- The above information is excerpted from the Holy Avengers' canon "Chapter of Order: Prologue"
Faint wailings, screams, and pleadings rang out from time to time, and groups of fellows were coming and going in and out of the ruins of the port area, and the ashes on their bodies could not stop their greedy gaze, and they still held all kinds of weapons in their hands, and the worst of them were heavy sticks!
And these are not pirates, but they do the same thing as pirates, and they are carrying a bulging package in their arms, and they don't have to think about it to know what is inside!
After losing order, the dark side of human nature caused by chaos can overwhelm reason, especially when the thoughts of wealth, robbery, and murder appear in the mind, even the most honest guys can become robbers, robbers, and thieves under the stimulation of the chaotic environment!
And under the deliberate provocation of some well-intentioned people, such as a few black-robed people who were faintly mixed in, as the darkness in their hearts became more and more condensed, tyrannical, cruel, and bloodthirsty also appeared on these guys, and they began to roam the streets with axes, hammers, scimitars, and even heavy wooden sticks!
Especially the guys who were already hooligans, gangsters, and gang members, and they were no longer satisfied with the port area, which was almost burned out, and began to gather crowds to rush towards other areas that were still intact, smashing the gate with a hammer and rushing in to start robbing, and even the howling of women appeared in the noise!
Chaos is creeping in!
It is also gradually pushing the city of Deira into the abyss!
And as the range of the pirates' onslaught expands, everything is getting more and more out of control!
And that's just the beginning!
At this time, the chaos was only spreading in the outer part of the city of Deira, and the inner city, protected by the towering walls, the heavy iron gates, and the towers of the arrows, was still quiet and peaceful, and the personable nobles were still doing their business as before, as if the chaos in the outer city had nothing to do with them.
Of course, the nobles with positions have long since left, and they have gone to deal with the chaos and pirate attacks in the outer city, and the only people who remain in the inner city are some idle gentlemen.
But the earth-shattering changes happened all of a sudden!
The countless cloud pillar vortex in the sky gradually took shape, and the violent elemental energy suddenly overflowed from the vortex, spreading out in all directions, turning into a violent elemental tide, and swept wildly in the southwest of the Noranda continent!
Thundered!
The nobles in the mansions in the inner city suddenly felt that both the top of their heads and their feet began to shake violently, and the tables, chairs and benches around them shook slightly due to a sudden earthquake, making them feel as if they were in a world that was spinning the world.
"What's going on?" "What's going on?" "......"
For a time, questions like these filled the minds of these nobles.
For these nobles, who were mostly ordinary people, this may have been just a sudden earthquake, but for the professionals in Deira City, and even for the entire southwest of the Noranda continent, this was the beginning of a change!
Professionals with a perception beyond ordinary people are surprised to find that their bodies are spontaneously changing, the power of combat skills suddenly becomes stronger, and even some talented people find themselves inexplicably mastering abilities that they have not yet mastered!
Among the many professions, mages and priests are undoubtedly the two most affected!
Many mages felt a violent impact suddenly hit their minds, and the whole person was like a TV set that was interfered with by a strong signal, the world in perception became blurry and distorted, and the connection with the magic net suddenly weakened a little, and some weak people spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "wow"!
As for the priest, he found that the faith connection between himself and the gods he believed in suddenly became extremely weak, and the weaker ones directly lost the faith connection with the gods, and no matter how much they prayed and called, they could not get the slightest response, and suddenly fell into fear, panic, loneliness and helplessness!
With the sweep of the elemental tides, the energy balance in the southwest of the Noranda continent was suddenly stirred into a mess, and this chaotic energy environment undoubtedly caused great interference to all long-distance connections, long-distance communications, and long-distance snooping!
Whether it's a weakened connection to the magic net or a broken connection with the gods, it's because of this!
Even the gods couldn't spy on what's happening in the southwest of Noranda at this time!
And what some people have been waiting for is such a time!
Thundered!
With the rumbling sound, thirteen gray pillars of light suddenly rose into the sky from all over the city, emitting from the thirteen hidden [Negative Energy Lands], exuding a rich breath of negative energy, making the entire sky eroded and obscured by evil negative energy!
And all the people in the city of Dara, whether they were pirates and thugs, or commoners and nobles, were horrified to find that the sky above them was instantly engulfed in darkness, and there was a heavy chill between the rolling darkness, as if it had changed from day to night in an instant!
What's even more frightening is that the entire city of Deira seems to be covered by an invisible barrier in an instant, turning the entire city into a vast labyrinth!
The streets that used to be straight have become fragmented, every corner, every alley, every doorway has become a trap for people to get lost, and even just trying to go a few meters has now become the most brain-burning intellectual game.
Darkness is coming!
