Chapter 1: The War Resumes (2)
What was the situation? Could it be that it had suddenly moved? The commander, Count Qiamidi, was at a loss for what to do, he did not expect a sudden movement at such a critical time. However, the fortunate thing is that this time the ground movement was not too large, and it only lasted less than a minute before it ended. Although at this moment, more than a dozen Flying Beast Knights died unexplained because they could not land, but the remaining Flying Beast Knights finally landed on the city wall without danger with the support of the ranged troops who returned to combat state. And in just a few dozen minutes, the number of flying beast knights who originally numbered about three hundred was now less than two hundred. And the rest were all killed in the air on the spot because of the inexplicable attack, or fell to their deaths because of the death of the mount flying beast.
However, for Count Qiamidi, these remaining beast knights can keep one more one. As long as this crisis is resolved, the remaining more than a hundred beast knights can still have enough deterrent power against the apostles under the city walls. Of course, Count Qiamidi, who didn't know the specific situation, still didn't know that he had lost so much because of the invisible air threat. The incompetent Count Qiamidi thought that all of these beast knights had suffered such heavy losses because they were only attacked from the ground. Count Kiamidi had his own opinion on this, after all, his ranged troops fired indiscriminately into the air, but did not find any signs of the enemy. As for the Flying Beast Knight's insistence that the enemy came from the air, Count Kiamidi merely laughed. However, he still said this for his own reasons, that is, if the enemy was from the air, then why didn't the Flying Beast Knights attack the Flying Beast Knights again after they landed on the walls of the Courage Line?
At this time, the guards stationed in the prominent part of the Courage Defense Line did not suffer any losses themselves because of their condescending geographical advantage, and they achieved good results. Despite the sudden ground movement, none of the remaining alive were injured, except for two unprepared soldiers who fell off the cliff. Therefore, for the garrison here, Count Qiamidi still feels very confident. The loss of more than a hundred Flying Beast Knights didn't have much impact on the garrison here.
However, unimaginable danger occurred at this time. Just as all the surviving Beast Riders were rejoicing that they had survived, the ground movement that had disappeared happened again. This time, Count Chiamidi thought it was nothing more than an aftershock. Therefore, after only ordering a temporary halt to the attack on the apostles under the city walls, he hid in a safe place with the soldiers, intending to wait until the aftershocks were over, and then "take care" of the apostles under the city with various things. This battle of defense was like a drill for Count Qiamidi, and now he felt more and more that this race called the Apostles was just a faΓ§ade. And Magellan's kingdom is not because they themselves are too weak. What a peerless master? joke. Count Qiamidi never believed that there was any peerless master in a weak kingdom. As for why Count Kiamidi felt this way, it can be seen from the corpses of the various apostles piled up under the Courage Line. These apostles include crushers who are as tall as a hill but still don't have the courage to defend half the height, and there are elite apostles who are strong but can't shake the courage to defend the walls even a single brick even with all their strength. What did the apostles get after paying for dozens or hundreds of corpses? However, this time of earth movement will soon tell the still arrogant and ignorant Count Qiamidi what it would cost to despise an apostle who could sweep the world and raise the tentacles to the human world.
Unlike the ground movement just now, this time the ground movement lasted for a long time, a few minutes long. And the degree of ground movement has not lessened a little with the passage of time, but has become more and more violent. Finally, after more than ten minutes of heart-pounding, with a shocking bang, a behemoth suddenly appeared where the flying beast knights were staying. Count Qiamidi looked at this behemoth in amazement, and found that its huge neck and head alone were the size of twenty burly Counts Qiamidi among humans. At this time, the giant beast was still chewing in its mouth. Of course, Count Kiamidi knew what it was eating. Because the leg of a flying beast that inadvertently peeked out from the corner of the behemoth's mouth is a good proof of this.
Count Qiamidi looked at the place where the beast knights had rested a little dumbfounded, and found that it had been replaced by a huge pit, which was where the giant beast appeared. And there was no trace of the presence of the beast knights around. By this time, they, along with their mounts, had probably become food for the beast's belly. After chewing stopped, the beast's blood-red eyes stared fiercely at Count Chiamidi, who was standing on the sidelines, completely stunned and unable to react, for a full dozen seconds.
And in this short period of ten seconds, Count Qiamidi spent every second like a year. But unexpectedly, the giant beast did not intend to eat any of its victims, but opened its mouth like a big laugh, and through that bloody mouth, Count Qiamidi even saw some stumps mixed with humans and flying beasts. It retreated along the pit where it appeared, and finally disappeared from the sight of Count Qiamidi.
It wasn't until he was completely sure that the beast was gone, that the frightened Count Qiamidi dared to move his heavy steps and glanced at the pit, only to find that the pit was directly under the ground, and after digging through the entire line of courage, only its head was exposed. It's hard to imagine what a gigantic behemoth it would be if its entire body were exposed.
Although this time only lost the last hundred or so beast knights who survived before, the subsequent attacks became more and more violent. What made Count Qiamidi feel even more uneasy was that something seemed to suddenly appear in the sky, but Count Qiamidi and his soldiers looked around but didn't find anything, just heard bursts of ghosts crying wolves from the sky, and at the same time, the attacks of those apostles under the city wall were getting stronger and stronger, if it weren't for the fact that these attacks under the city wall would not really threaten them on the city wall for a while, Count Qiamidi would not hesitate to ask for help.
But fortunately, it was as if something had happened, and the monsters that had never appeared in the air suddenly let out a burst of cry and disappeared. And the apostles under the city also suddenly stopped this attack. For them, it was as if the mission was over. At this time, Count Qiamidi finally had time to wipe the cold sweat from his face and sat down on the ground.
As the rulers of the Dammos Empire had imagined, this time it was only a tentative attack by the apostles. In this attack, neither side suffered much damage. The apostolic side lost only a few dozen dispensable apostolic soldiers and two or three crushers. The Damos Empire suffered even fewer losses, with only two soldiers dying as a result of falling under the city. If it weren't for the loss caused by the giant beast that suddenly swallowed all the remaining beast riders into its stomach, which wiped out all the beast riders, the damage caused by this attack could really be said to be negligible. However, it was because of this ugly and terrifying beast that Count Qiamidi lost all his air power, and what made them feel even darker was that even Count Qiamidi admitted that in the sky of the Courage Line, it was no longer just the airspace of the Danmos Empire. The guards of the Damos Empire, including Count Qiamidi and the rest of the Danmos Empire stationed on the Valorant Line, waited in fear for the official attack of the Apostles to begin.
In the Apostolic World, since that conversation with the King of the Apostles, the Mourner, Viren was transferred from the cell where he was imprisoned by the Mourner to a mansion near her own residence. In Viren's own words, he was like a respected guest. Even though both Viren and the Mourner knew that he would never be a guest in the apostolic world, at least the treatment was the same now. After that brief conversation, Viren never saw the Lost Master again, and he felt that the Lost Master's previous threats to him were not just said by the Lost Lord. And now, this idea of mine has been even more confirmed. Because, on this day, when Viren was bored in a room on the second floor of this two-story building, the mourner appeared again.
The appearance of the mourner this time made Viren feel a little frightened. Because she suddenly appeared in front of Viren without warning. The sudden appearance of the mourner made Viren even think he was hallucinating, and he didn't care about it for the first few seconds. It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that he saw the mourning master, who was supposed to be an illusion, standing in front of him with a smile on his cheeks, and then he knew that the mourning master had really come.
Startled, Viren involuntarily took a few steps back until he sat down on the bed he was sleeping in. "How did you get there?"
"This is my world. The mourner still looked at Viren with a smile and chuckled: "Naturally my world, then I can naturally go wherever I want." Also, once we have complete control over your worlds, I will be able to travel between them whenever and wherever I want, without having to make any preparations. β
Viren looked at the somewhat smug loser with hatred, gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible, you will never do it! In the human world, there are many forces that can stop you!"
"Oh, is it?" the mourner looked upwards as if he was thinking, but quickly smiled again, "Then I can guarantee that the forces you are talking about will definitely not include the Danmoth Empire and your two friends." β
"What do you mean?" Viren immediately stood up, staring eagerly into the eyes of the mourner, hoping to find a little evidence of the mourner's lying, even if it was just a little bit enough.
However, the eyes of the mourning lord were the same from beginning to end, and nothing changed. "Do you think I'm lying? So at what point do you think I'm lying to you? Is it that my children have started a new round of action against your world, or are your friends no longer in any chance of causing me and my children any trouble?"
"You!" Viren was furious, but didn't know what to say. And strangely, when he heard that the apostles had begun to attack the Danmoth Empire, Viren felt a sense of revenge in his heart. And this point seems to have been thoroughly touched by the shrewd mourner, so the mourner hit the railroad while it was hot: "I don't think you will be sad that the Danmos Empire, which has treacherously betrayed your Magellan Kingdom, is about to be destroyed." And I seem to see that you're gloating about it, and I'm not wrong. β
Viren quickly shook his head and denied it, but he couldn't change anything.
"Behold, this is human nature. The mourner sighed and continued to smile: "Even though you are both human beings, when the Danmos Empire, which is an enemy of you, is about to suffer a catastrophe, instead of sympathizing with them, you seem to hope that we can help you avenge you as soon as possible. But what if I told you that those two friends of yours, Qi Tianci and that elf are dead?
"Impossible!" Viren didn't believe it. "You don't have the ability to kill Qi Tianci and Ciel!"
"Oh, maybe, maybe I don't have the skills to do it. Still smiling, the mourner continued, "But ah, I know someone who can do that, and he has done it. β
"Who?" said Viren's heart suddenly hung in the air.
"Smack. The mourner did not answer Viren, but suddenly slapped his palms twice into the air. Then there was a deathly silence. However, the silence did not last long, and it was thought that another person suddenly appeared in the small house where Viren was, just like the mourner.
"Hello, my name is Breitsoe. I'm sorry I killed those two friends of yours. The man in the robe covered his entire head, and in the shadows Viren didn't see the mysterious man in front of him, but he just said a word that made Viren fall into consternation.
