Chapter 232: Emergencies
"Actually, it's not just me, Mr. Lei also suspects that the people of the Star Hall are going to attack the Morrowind Kingdom. It's just that the old brother acts more mysteriously than the people in the Star Temple. Even fellow Guardians couldn't see through this guy, and he didn't tell anyone what the so-called 'hard evidence' was. Charles played with the empty teacup in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly, and his thoughts wandered elsewhere.
Flamel drank dry tea, and a trace of exhaustion flashed on his face: "Alas, the only god is above, I hope that the Morrowind Kingdom can survive this disaster." β
Charles sneered: "Survive this time, and there will be the next time!" The bastards in the Star Hall don't know which tendon is wrong, and they always want to destroy the balance between light and darkness. Once the world falls apart, will they be left alone?"
Flamel smiled wryly, equally puzzled by the idea of the madmen. At this moment, Jing Lie went back and forth, and leaned next to Flamel to whisper something. Flamel exclaimed in surprise when he heard this, the cloudiness in his eyes suddenly cleared, and his gaze became sharp and decisive: "You go and contact the tutors of each academy. This is too weird, there are so many enemies, we have to send fifty strong men to fight with the Kingdom Guard!"
Jing Lie was ordered to retire, and Flamel told Charles what he had just heard: "Charles, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you." Just now, a student who went out sent back the news that a large army of undead suddenly poured out of a valley in the northern suburbs of the royal capital, and the number was probably between tens of thousands and 100,000. β
Charles was stunned: "So many at once? Are you sure it's near the royal capital? Do the demons in the Endless Abyss have a hole in their brains? How dare they do such a stupid thing under the nose of the Wind Feather Divine Eagle?"
Flamel sighed, "Lord Condor only has a soul left, and he can't leave the royal capital for half a step. But this is the first time I've seen so many undead assemble near the royal capital. The weirdest thing is that the cadet also saw the shadow of the devil in the army of the undead. β
"What?!" Charles had to doubt his hearing. The undead who have invaded the human world are the Endless Abyss, and their armies are made up of abyssal demons of different races and a large number of undead creatures summoned through necromancy, all of whom come from the Flame Hell, and are more like extreme racial supremacists, who will never fight alongside other creatures. Although these two sound similar, they are actually two completely different creatures, and it is impossible for them to interact with each other in normal times.
However, now there are devils who have mixed into the army of the undead, which is as abnormal as seeing the bright moon in the sky at noon.
Charles' eyes narrowed slightly, his brain racing, pondering all possible causes. After a moment, he suddenly stopped, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Flamell laughed, "Looks like you've guessed who's doing it." β
Charles sneered: "Of course! Summoning an army of the undead to invade near the royal capital is an extremely stupid decision from any point of view! How could a commander in the world of the undead make such a low-level mistake, let alone bring over the devil of the Flame Hell to work for him...... Star Temple! It must be the work of Star Temple again! Most of their actions are intended to provoke a war between humans and the undead, and at the same time weaken the power of the human world and the Endless Abyss! Flammel, I will take my leave! I have some other speculations in my mind, and I have to go and see for myself to confirm it. β
After saying that, Charles left the Morrowind Academy, and kept coming all the way to a canyon about fifteen or sixteen kilometers away from the Chenfeng King's capital. Surrounded by forest, the valley is crossed by a narrow shoal between the two ochre-red peaks, and the light purple grass on either side of the shallow breeze swayed, and the water was wrinkled by the wind, and the setting sun shone in a small golden fleck.
However, at this moment, the people in the canyon are not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Because the canyon is crowded with undead armies of all shapes. A few hellish demons with black bone wings stuck in their backs seemed unwilling to be in the company of those disgusting undead creatures, and they hung their tails on all fours on the top of the protruding rock, looking down on the approaching human army, with a cold and hideous expression.
More than a dozen of the devils cast their gaze into the air, and the horns above their heads glowed with a slight black light. This is a sign that the devils are ready to attack. In the air opposite them, hundreds of white-feathered Hippriffs lined up, and the knights on the back of the griffs were wearing silver armor and eagle helmets, and the chest of the armor was engraved with the majestic Wind Feather Condor pattern, which was the most elite air unit in the Kingdom Guard, the Wind Feather Knights. The white-feathered Gripper under them is the strongest of the Grippers, a real seventh-order demonic beast.
And behind this row of Wind Feather Knights, there was also a huge seventh-order demonic beast - Ice Demon Eagle. Karen, who was sent here by Solas, sat on the back of the Ice Demon Eagle, with a pitch-black raven resting on her shoulder, which was none other than Maggie's mentor after the release of the shapeshift.
Although the two are called master and apprentice, after that adventure in the Far North, Karen's magic cultivation is not much compared to Mentor Maggie, who has stepped into the world of Magister with one foot. However, Maggie's mentor's decades of experience are incomparable to Karen's, so the former will stay by Karen's side to prevent her from having an accident.
In a few hours, the Kingdom Guards, Morrowind teachers and students, and individual mercenaries who had rushed over after hearing the news had all assembled. There are no new undead creatures in the depths of the canyon. The two sides faced off silently across a stretch of shoal. Although the atmosphere was tense, no one dared to take it lightly. After all, the manager of the Necromantic Tide was in front of him in the past, and many of the people present knew very well how cunning the undead army on the other side was, which was mostly composed of skeletons.
And just when the sun was about to end and the tension was solidified, there was a sudden commotion in the rear of the human army. Hiding in the shadows, Charles looked behind him when he heard the sound, only to see several pairs of white rectangular flags appearing first. In the center of the first pair of flags was embroidered a golden dragon with teeth and claws, as if it was the main form of the only god Anmeng. On the second pair of flags is a humanoid deity with a golden halo shining on its back and a holy face on its head, which many people can recognize, which is the human form of the god Ammon.
The flags that followed were embroidered with various patterns that the Charr could not understand. And after all the indices appeared, the crowd in front finally dispersed to the sides, freeing up a wide passageway. Bishop Auerbach, dressed in a red robe, walked slowly forward with the support of the two high priests. Behind him, two other priests held two brilliant golden weaponsβa holy sword glowing with cold light, and a scepter with nine black diamonds on the top.
