70 Chapter 70
At the same time, a scuffle is taking place outside the Valley of Bass, where the Behemoths are inhabited—another army of sandghosts fighting the Behemoths.
Sharp whistles echoed among the beasts. It was a signal for the Behemoths to enter wartime, and this time it wasn't a normal battle.
In the past, when the Behemoth Terran was fighting, there would always be some of them in human form, and some of them would remain in beast form, and with the cooperation of the two parties, they could maximize their advantages. This time, however, it was all beasts that were fighting on the battlefield, because they had not yet made it to Beitange.
And among these beasts, in addition to those in the prime of life, even the old and the young.
Among the beasts that rushed first and killed the hardest, there was a lion who stood out, two laps smaller than the other giant beasts, and even a little thinner than normal beasts.
A scarred black-backed wolf slashed into the heart of a sand ghost, and he turned his head and roared at the emaciated lion, ignoring the gravel-corrupted fur.
The pure-blooded beastman who took the form of a beast could not communicate in human language, and if anyone who knew the language of beasts heard it, he would know that he only had one word: "Get out of here!" ”
However, this sentence was not malicious, but wanted to get the skinny lion out of the most dangerous battle.
This black-backed wolf is Shaw, and the lion is a class that has been trained with Kevin for a while.
He had followed the large army of the Ugin Hanging Palace into the secret passage at the bottom of the Rift, but he lost contact with the large army that night.
Although he has experienced a lot of things, and when he turns into a beast, he can pretend to be an ordinary beast, but in fact, he is still far from adulthood, and he is a little heartless on weekdays, so he is almost not affected by Merlot.
On that day, he was so tired that he was so tired that he fell asleep in a corner when it was his turn to rest. He slept very deeply, and had no dreams the whole time. And when he felt that his bones were full of sleep, and when he finally opened his eyes, he found that the people who had been with him in the secret passage were gone.
Ban followed the unclear footsteps and traces left all the way out, and traced all the way from the territory of the Golden Lion Country to the outside of the Golden Lion Country. But it was soon disrupted by more overlapping footsteps.
Just as he was heading south in the general direction, he came across his own people outside the valley of Bath.
A pregnant leopard-like beast-man was swept into a sand den right before his eyes, and soon turned into fine pieces of gravel, falling from the sky and piling up in a heap.
One corpse has two lives, and the living one is gone.
Ban went crazy in an instant, and rushed into the battle without saying a word.
He had the blood of the former patriarch in his veins, and although he was young and skinny, no match for an adult beastman, he was agile and nimble, and in his bones he was as fearless as his father Mai.
When he followed Kevin to practice in the legion base camp, Kevin mentioned to him the limitations of beast-form combat, but he was equipped with a set of arrows in the mouth that could also be operated in the beast form, fortunately, he always carried it like a baby, and it finally came in handy here.
However, he was constantly driven away by a group of adult beastmen, and the one who roared the hardest was Xiao.
"Who told you to come here?! Get out of the back! How far can you run, how far you can run! Xiao roared unceremoniously in beast language, flung off one of his mutilated front paws and lunged frantically at the sand ghost again.
The Behemothmen race is like that—irascible, aggressive, savage, and even the words of concern are so hard that they seem to be scolding.
Ben also replied with a roar in beast language: "Don't get out!" I've killed no less than you, and the wounded should roll to the back!" ”
"You!" Xiao was so blocked that he almost died of anger. He had watched the former patriarch Mai die in front of him, so he couldn't bear to watch Mai's son fall like this again.
Giant Eagle Dan's thoughts were obviously the same as Xiao's, but he didn't scold with his throat, but put it into action, turned his head and rolled the little lion backwards several times with his huge wings.
Ban got up in embarrassment, and rushed over again without saying a word: "This is a battle!" Didn't you all say that the Behemoths were born to be the bravest warriors! Why drive me away! ”
He turned his head and bit the metal buckle, shot the two sand ghosts who pounced on Xiao with an arrow in his mouth, and roared with a pant: "I'm not leaving!" ”
Xiao glared at a pair of bloodshot wolf eyes and gritted his teeth, "As long as there is an adult giant beast man, you will never need to go to the battlefield!" ”
However, the truth was not as optimistic as they thought, and the adult beastmen could not completely stop these mighty sand ghosts with all their might.
The beast people in the form of beasts have no advantage at all when they clash with the sand ghosts, because the bite and slashing that the beasts can use must be in close contact with the enemy, so when they cut the heart of the sand ghosts alive, it means that they have to scrap a claw. This is a typical "kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred" style of play, and the person who rushes to the front is equivalent to building a wall for the person behind with flesh and blood.
There are stout men in this wall, and there are equally brave women, there are old people who are still strong, and even Ban, who is far from adulthood.
However, no matter who they were, no matter how much they shouted and whistled at each other, no one really chose to back down.
And there are not only a few such tragic but brave battles, at this moment, in the entire continent, there is hardly a peaceful place, and all the sand ghosts pour out—
Several city-states near the northern ice sheet are littered with corpses that have been eroded into piles of sand;
In the area of the jungle of Amdoha, the people who had been tricked into making a long journey to the south coast woke up halfway through, and before they even knew what was going on, they were surrounded by sand ghosts and imprisoned.
The most tragic is the Northern Emerald Country, because the sand ghosts here did not invade from the outside, but spread out from the inside, and the source was in the palace of the royal city. The long-bedridden Emperor Sapir finally appeared, but the people barely recognized him, including the group of palace guards he led.
The old Sapir had become tall and muscular, and he looked almost more like a young man than his youngest son, Both, who was in the prime of his life. But his face was stiff and dry like tree bark.
And the skin of his whole body was tinged with a sandy yellow, covered with tiny spots, which looked terrible and disgusting at close range, as if the skin had been poured with sand, and the outline of the muscles was filled, but the skin was full and transparent, revealing the lines of the sand inside.
At this point, the people of the Northern Emerald Kingdom finally sniffed out a little truth from the changes in Sapir.
The old emperor coveted the feeling of standing on the highest place in the country, missed his once strong physique and vigorous energy, and was unwilling to grow old or die, he was afraid that he made some deal with the sand ghosts, and finally turned himself into this inhuman and ghostly appearance.
No wonder he claimed to be sick and bedridden for so long, and no wonder he was extremely reluctant to go to the Golden Lion Country to ask for holy water. He turned himself into such a ghost, where can he withstand holy water?!
Unfortunately, when the people reacted, they were already besieged by the guards led by Sapir and a large number of sand ghosts.
"No one is missing...... I heard the oracle...... No one should be left behind, ......" Sapir's voice became the same as that of the sand ghost, hoarse as if a viper was spitting letters, but his tone was extremely dazed and a little delirious.
With that, he knelt on the ground, and headed in the direction of the south, with a deep madness in his piety.
On the Fria Mountain Road, Mio, who was so exhausted that he could no longer lift his arms, fell with his face on his back; Outside the valley of Bass, the roars and whistles of the behemoths gradually faded into silence, echoing less and less, and the adult behemoths lost most of their ......
The whistling sand ghosts swooped down, some pale green branches quietly broke through the ground, and the snow fell over the entire continent, like the last funeral song sent by the queen god to people......
In the underground temple, Kevin nailed through Merlot's heart and said coldly: "These arrows, for the sake of those old people who were pierced through the heart by you, the god of thunderstorms, the god of love, the god of mountains and the god of flowers, they once blessed you without fear of wind and rain, being loved by people, and full of flowers." You've probably forgotten all about it. ”
The godhead of the thunderstorm flowed down Merlot's heart and into Kevin's body.
Osvid had been in agony when he received the godhead of Vulcan, and that was because he was an ordinary person. It was different for Kevin, who had a godhead more powerful than any other god, even Phisar and Tenice, and it was not painful for him to bear one more godhead of thunderstorms.
He didn't even blink an eye before he waved his hand.
Even though he was on Mirror Island, he could still feel the pain of the people on land, which was a unique connection between man and God. He could even see the mess on the land in between fights, which made his face even colder.
The power of the god of thunderstorms was spread out by him without hesitation.
Suddenly, the wind and waves of the sea on which the entire mirror island depended were howling, the black clouds on the mainland gathered instantly, purple and white lightning slashed down from the sky, the thunder exploded, and the moment it rolled in, the torrential rain had already poured down.
The sand ghost who was about to touch the little lion class was shocked, and suddenly screamed.
They can withstand moisture, fog, and light rain, but when it comes to this kind of storm that threatens to submerge the entire continent, they have to run away with their heads, which is their biggest nemesis!
Mio lay on the mountain path, squinted his eyes, the rain was so heavy that it almost hurt a little on the person, and he was instantly bathed, and the whole person was soaked. He looked at the sand ghost who was caught off guard by his wailing in the rain, and couldn't help but laugh as if he was venting, and choked on his throat by the rain again, coughing and his eyes turned red.
He was still alive and could laugh, but there were many brothers in front of him who could no longer laugh.
On the edge of Bass Valley, the anger in Ban's eyes had not yet subsided, and the sandghosts had been completely doused by the torrential rain. He gasped for breath, looked at the sand on the ground that was soaked and solidified, and seemed to be overwhelmed by the abrupt end of the battle, and was stunned for a moment before he suddenly jumped up and ran straight to the side.
Xiao lay on his side on the ground, both front paws were gone, the fur on his body was mottled, and there were even bones in many places, Dan was bald with half of his feathers, and one wing was almost only a skeleton, or an incomplete skeleton, and the ground was scattered with sand falling from them.
For a moment, he felt a little strange, the sand ghosts he encountered this time were not quite the same as the previous ones, some of them were unceremoniously turned into piles of sand, while others were very slow to sand down, as if the sand ghosts had deliberately spared half their lives for some reason.
However, when he saw Xiao and Dan, and saw the many fierce beasts lying on the ground, he couldn't care about these anymore.
The emaciated underage lion let out a roar, hoarse, faint in the thunder and lightning and rainstorm, full of anger and sadness......
Kevin in the temple closed his eyes slightly, opened them again, looked at Merlot's face and asked word by word, "So you made that emotionless thing like a sand ghost?" ”
Merlot nodded unabashedly, and he said slowly: "I created it, but I wonder why Tenes and Phaesar were able to create people and worship them, but I couldn't?" What did they do? What did you do again? ”
His voice was serious like that of a diligent and inquisitive person seeking advice, as if it was nothing that Osvid and Kevin had even taken two godheads: "What have you done?" Curse? Why can't I create enough well-behaved living people? I've even tried it on living people that already exist, but it didn't work, and all I got was filthy waste. ”
"What good thing can you create if you're a scumbag? I also dislike the dirtiness of others, and the queen god really has such a big face, no wonder I have to cover it with a mask. Osvid placed Sinia and the Eldar Grand Elder in the crowd behind him, stood up and stood side by side with Kevin, mocking harshly.
The emperor was not afraid of the so-called queen god, but at this time, he recognized the true face of the queen god, and his mouth was even more unceremonious, and he was worthy of being praised by Kevin as a man who was "full of guts".
Merlot said coldly to him: "I kindly gave you a godhead, but it doesn't mean that you are qualified to talk to me like this. ”
Since he was a child, he had been accustomed to seeing the God of Light alone, and suddenly such a person stood beside the God of Light very naturally, which was almost an indescribable dazzling. He couldn't figure out how a mere ordinary mortal could stand side by side with God so confidently?
"I can give, and I can take away." There was even a hint of disgust in Merlot's voice.
Kevin looked at him for a moment, and indifferently provoked a smile at the corner of his mouth: "What are you angry about?" He's right, you can never create real flesh and blood like Thenice and Phiza. ”
Merlot raised her voice: "Why? ”
Kevin's face sank: "Because when they created people, they really loved them." And you? He snorted, "That's the difference between you and them, Tenice created you, all the gods truly love you, what have you done?" ”
He scoffed, "...... Still want to create people? What kind of psychology did you have in mind when you created people? The people on this continent are becoming more and more independent, and their belief in God is getting weaker, and you are getting restless, so you want to create a new group of believers to replace them, right? You create just to exploit, just like you want to create a group of grave keepers to town outside my graveyard gates, but only create a group of monster-like branches. You don't have feelings, how can something you create have feelings? ”
"Feelings? Love? Merlot suddenly laughed, "The love of the gods is the most hypocritical, I am just a pet created by your idle and boring, I was created because of good interest, and suddenly overflowed with love, what if one day suddenly there is no love?" What if one day I suddenly felt like a failure? Can you wave my hand and make me disappear forever? ”
He tilted his head slightly, as if he was scanning the place under his feet: "Mirror Island...... I've been here with you before, and I've watched as Phila disposes of a piece of land that he had created by mistake like garbage. yes, you told me that you came here to fix bugs. It's just a wave of your hand for you, but it's different for me, because you've created it too. ”
"I can't even control my own life and death, I'm still alive when I open my eyes today, but maybe tomorrow when I open my eyes, your interest has passed and you think I'm boring, I may die." Merlot's gentle tone finally changed, revealing a hint of questioning: "If it's really love, why didn't you ever think of giving me Godhead?" Why do you always make me inferior to you? Why not give me the opportunity to stand by your side on an equal footing? I don't want to do those things, but I hate that my life and death are in the hands of others, I just want to live in peace......"
Kevin squinted at him as if he had never known this person, "Why don't you give you Godhead?" You have been worrying about this question for a long time, and you have really lived in vain for so many years. ”
He nodded, raised his hand and tapped on his forehead: "I wonder why I didn't give you Godhead?" See for yourself! ”
His slender fingers twitched and twitched, and a white point of light appeared on his fingertips, like a cluster of faltering firelight. Then, with a blank face, he slapped the white point of light in front of Merlot.
