868 Glory
This strange slow-motion situation is not Jingchen's illusion, but a real thing, and everything has indeed changed. At this moment, Jingchen suddenly found that a trace of silver rays flashed around his body, these silver rays were very different from those shot from the silver ring, and the silver rays had a strong spatial aura, obviously, these silver rays were formed by spatial energy.
At the same time, the old man also discovered the strangeness in his own space, but unfortunately, for this space, he did not have the slightest ability to control, even if he cast the energy shield that bound the entire space, it was beyond his ability, but relied on an accidental magic scroll to cast. At this moment, the old man could only watch as a trace of silver light wrapped Jingchen in it, and then the silver light suddenly flashed and disappeared into this space. It wasn't just Jingchen who disappeared, but the silver-winged dragon owl also disappeared at the same time.
The old man looked in horror in the direction where Jingchen disappeared, because an old face appeared there, this face was the last thing he wanted to see at the moment, and he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, but it was too late. I saw that the man stretched out a thin finger and gently pointed at the old man, a silver light flashed, and the old man's body was instantly smashed into pieces like glass, and before the fragment could fall to the ground, it had turned into a little silver light and scattered in the air.
With the death of the old man, the ghost dragon that had just evolved was also sucked into the gray crack around him, but the colorful energy shield did not disappear, and the magic cast by the magic scroll generally has such a characteristic, regardless of the strength of the caster, the duration is fixed.
The face that was originally sinking like water slowly stretched, Mo Lao glanced at Jing Chen beside him, and the silver winged dragon owl that stopped on Jing Chen's shoulder and was looking at him vigilantly, smiled slightly, and said, "Xiao Chen, your strength has improved again." ”
At this moment, Jing Chen recovered from the shock just now, after all, seeing Mo Lao's weighty finger with his own eyes, the shock was unimaginable to others. The seventh-level powerhouse who fought with him to the death one second, was easily turned into pieces by Mo Lao the next moment, and there was not even a single corpse left, and the strength between the two was simply the difference between heaven and earth.
"Xiao Chen. Mo Lao shouted again.
Jingchen came to his senses at this time, bowed slightly, and said, "Mo Lao." "Many strong people who gathered from all corners of the city couldn't help but salute when they saw Mo Lao, and even the Ice Venerable, who rushed over after hearing the news, all saluted towards Mo Lao respectfully, which was very different from when he saw Amand Delon when he just nodded slightly.
Mo Lao waved his hand and said slowly, "There are a few scum in this hospital, and now that they have been dealt with, friends should disperse." After speaking, he turned his head to look at several powerhouses of Zeus Academy, and then said, "I have some arrangements from the academy, and I want to talk to you about them." As he spoke, he grabbed Jingchen with one hand, and his figure flashed towards the house where the old man lived.
Several people glanced at each other, and they didn't know what Mo Lao had to say when he came late at night, but whether it was the identity of the guardian of Zeus Academy, or the residual power when Mo Lao was in charge of the academy, these people, including Amandron, all fell in the courtyard and walked slowly towards the room. This is a respect for Mo Lao, even Armand Delon is more than a hundred years younger than Mo Lao, so several people walked into the house on foot, and did not fly in like Mo Lao.
The rest of the people listened to Mo Lao's words, and they all dispersed with interest, just now Mo Lao had already said that this was a family matter of Zeus Academy, and it was inconvenient for them outsiders to stay here. Of course, before many people left, they still glanced at the colorful energy shield in awe, just now, Mo Lao killed a seventh-level powerhouse through this energy cover, which couldn't help but make them frightened, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, Zeus Academy really lived up to its reputation.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mo Lao waved his hand, and a silver light suddenly rose, covering several people in it, and asked in a deep voice, "Can anyone tell me what is the situation of this person?"
"This ......" "Uh......"
For a while, no one could answer Mo Lao's words, and several people were not very familiar with the director of this magic major, because each major of Zeus Academy occupied a place in the tutor building and did not contact each other, so naturally there was no intersection. Mo Lao's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and finally stopped on Jing Chen's face, smiling slightly, Mo Lao opened his mouth and asked, "Xiao Chen, what's the matter with you?"
Jing Chen hesitated for a moment, but he still told how he found out that Hewitt had a device to track Yue Yanran, how he found out that the director of the magic major was peeping at him, and how he found out that the two conspired to kill Yue Yanran and other Zeus Academy students. Listening to what Jing Chen said, Mo Lao's face became colder and colder, he really couldn't imagine that Zeus Academy actually had scum who colluded with the Beast Court, which was not a good sign for Mo Lao, who was familiar with the inside story.
From beginning to end, except for Jing Chen, no one in the room made any sound, even Mo Lao, he didn't ask Jing Chen any questions, but his face kept changing, but others couldn't see the reason. After a while, after Jingchen finished saying everything, Mo Lao nodded slightly, groaned slightly, and said, "It's not too early today, Xiaochen, you all go back first, this matter should be a case, I will discuss it with the academy before deciding." With a slight wave of his hand, the crowd poured out of the house as if they had been pardoned.
On the way, Jingchen did not delay, went straight back to his room, lay on the bed, he stared at the wooden roof, and chatted with Rios about today's events.
"Teacher, look at this......" Jing Chen was still a little puzzled by Mo Lao's slightly abnormal behavior, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was thunder and rain.
"Zeus Academy shouldn't be a simple academy either. Rios said suddenly for no reason.
"Uh......" Listening to Rios's words without a beginning or end, Jingchen was slightly stunned, and then he was stunned, and instantly understood what Rios meant. Secretly said in his heart, Zeus Academy is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, an ordinary professional director even has seventh-level strength, you know, even the Holy Spirit Empire has not many sixth-level powerhouses, let alone seventh-level powerhouses.
On the other hand, in Zeus Academy, even a director of the magic profession who has no special status has the strength of the seventh level, if Mo Lao and the others don't know, he won't believe it if he dies, how can a place that may even have a ninth-level powerhouse not see the strength of a small seventh-level undead magician, if that's the case, it's a big joke.
"Why?" Thinking about these clearly, Jingchen wondered again, why Zeus Academy had such a strong strength, what was going on. What attracted these strong men to stay in Zeus' Academy? You must know that these strong people don't care much about general things, and what they care about is only those things that can improve their strength, especially their own strength, but those things are unavoidable, so Jingchen's heart is full of doubts.
Rios coughed lightly and said slowly, "If you think about these things, maybe only those tutors in your academy can answer you, and as for others, it is impossible for others to know." ”
Jingchen thought about it for a while, and also agreed with Rios's words, indeed as Rios said, the reason for this is probably only those mentors can explain clearly, but Jingchen doesn't believe that these strong people are gathered in Zeus Academy for the purpose of teaching and educating talents.
Just when Jingchen finally understood those words, turned over, and was about to continue sleeping, the terrible alarm suddenly pierced the night sky, and this time the alarm sound was obviously much more rapid than yesterday, obviously this beast tide was even more terrifying than yesterday.
As soon as Jingchen turned over, he sat up, and the sleepiness that had just been brewed was also nothing, and his eyes swept away, only to see that the silver-winged dragon owl that had originally stopped at the head of his bed was flying up and down in the house at the moment, and a bad premonition came to Jingchen's heart.
"The Flying Warcraft Tide is here again. Rios said slowly, his voice unusually heavy. A flying demonic beast of this scale had never been seen in a city even in his time.
"How come?" Jingchen surprised as he glanced at the Silver Winged Dragon Owl that was still flying in the room, and wondered. According to what Rios said, those flying monsters should have been summoned by the Silver Wing Dragon Owl, could it be ...... His eyes fell on the silver-winged dragon owl again, and the little guy seemed to feel Jingchen's gaze as well, and turned around and flew in front of Jingchen, as if to explain something.
"Alas. Rios let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice, "Warcraft are Warcraft after all, they don't have enough benefits, or they are beaten hard enough, how can they be so willing to leave?"
Jingchen was slightly stunned, and instantly understood what Rios meant, his eyes suddenly froze, looking at the direction of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, his keen perception made him feel the sense of oppression coming from there, this feeling cut through the sky like lightning and pressed towards the Cologne Fortress.
Just when Jingchen pushed the door and was about to go out, a rapid horn sounded, for some reason, Jingchen actually heard a trace of desolation in this horn sound, as if it was a farewell on the battlefield, which made people's hearts sink suddenly.
"It's a clarion call for retreat. Rios said calmly, but it sounded a little strange at the moment.
"Retreat?" Jingchen frowned, it stands to reason that there are so many residents in the city, how can they retreat, is it ......
"It was a clarion call for the inhabitants to retreat and the defenders to break off. Rios seemed to know Jingchen's doubts and explained.
The body was stunned, at this moment, Jingchen finally understood what the trace of strangeness in Rios's words was, it was an indescribable feeling, and he finally realized it at this moment.
Nodding slightly, Jingchen did not leave, but flew towards the city where the sense of oppression came, and Rios did not open his mouth to stop Jingchen, perhaps in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Jingchen's choice.
Along the way, many residents had already left their homes with the application things, and left quickly in the opposite direction of the Warcraft Mountain Range, although there was a solemn atmosphere in the crowd, but everyone did not panic, but evacuated in an orderly manner, obviously this kind of thing is not the first time for these residents.
When he came to the city, the first thing Jingchen saw was the guards and a group of old men in golden robes, Jingchen's arrival did not cause too many waves, and the soldiers were still doing what they were doing. Jingchen raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, only to see that the black pressure was a blurry shadow, like a dark cloud, even the moonlight was covered by those black shadows, and it was only more than a thousand meters away from the city. A huge sense of oppression struck, although in terms of quantity, this beast tide was not as fierce as last night, but in terms of destructive power, flying demonic beasts and land demonic beasts are naturally incomparable, otherwise the guards would not have ordered people to blow the horn of evacuation.
The "dark clouds" on the horizon are getting closer and closer, and there is a huge coercion on the city wall, and those who are a little weaker will probably be collapsed by this coercion.
"Xiao Chen......" Suddenly, an old voice sounded, breaking the depression of the city, Jingchen turned his head to look, only to see Mo Lao walking slowly towards him. I don't know if it's because of Mo Lao's arrival, the huge pressure from the Flying Demon Beast Tide suddenly turned into nothingness, if it weren't for the dark clouds in the sky that showed no sign of receding, otherwise everyone in the city would probably cheer.
Seeing that it was Mo Lao, the Ice Venerable and the guard general also walked over together.
"Master. The guard bowed slightly, although he didn't know the strength of this old man, but the other party just appeared and resolved the huge pressure, and he didn't think it was a simple person.
Mo Lao waved his hand and said slowly, "You don't have to be polite, general, I am one of the guardians of Zeus Academy, people call me Mo Lao, Master Amand Delon has evacuated with the students of Zeus Academy, and I will come here to assist you." "For those students who have fought fiercely all night, this beast tide is not of much use even if they stay here, and evacuation is their best choice.
"Yes, I haven't had time to send someone to thank you for last night's incident, if it weren't for the support of a group of mentors and students from Zeus Academy, I'm afraid I would have lost last night. This is not a polite statement, but a truthful one. Whether it is the instructor of Zeus Academy, or those students who have not experienced much of a big scene, their strength is far from being comparable to those soldiers under the guard, and in the face of absolute strength, any skill is vain.
Looking up and glancing at the beast tide in the distance, Mo Lao also frowned, even if he had seen the beast tide hundreds of times, he had never seen such a scale of flying beast tides. Glancing at the soldiers on the head of the city, although these soldiers are full of fighting spirit, it is not difficult for people with discerning eyes to see the tiredness in their eyes, last night of fierce fighting, even those strong people did not slow down, not to mention these ordinary soldiers, but the mission made them have to stick here, even if it is just to die......
In the distance, as if sensing Mo Lao's powerful aura, the entire beast tide trembled, and the pace of progress also stagnated slightly, and the eyes of many flying demonic beasts showed a trace of fear from the heart, which was the fear of the strong. In fact, to a certain extent, the sensitivity of demonic beasts is far greater than that of humans, so it is easier for them to discover those existences that can threaten their lives, and the aura on Mo Lao's body is exactly what they fear the most.
"Jie Ji ......"
A shrill cry suddenly came from the beast tide, the sound was not only piercing, but the people who heard it also felt dizzy, and many soldiers with slightly inferior strength shook their bodies and almost fell.
"Hmph!" Mo Lao snorted coldly, his voice seemed to have a hint of awakening miracle, the original body shook, and the dizzy soldiers also suddenly woke up. Seeing those soldiers sober up again, many people with slightly better strength and who did not get hit were shocked, and when they looked at the beast tide in the air again, a trace of fear flashed in their eyes, no one thought that since there was still this kind of magic beast with this voice and illusion in this beast tide.
"It's a Phantom Song Demon. Ríos' voice suddenly rang out.
"Phantom Song Demon?" Jing Chen exclaimed, this kind of magical beast is still fresh in his memory, when he was in the Giant Beast Empire, that strange tower made him remember deeply, how could he forget the Phantom Song Demon that made him almost lose his life.
"It's actually the Phantom Song Demon?" Hearing Jing Chen's words, the Ice Venerable repeated with a little surprise, and his gaze swept towards the black and oppressive beast tide.
Mo Lao nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with Jingchen's words, and after a while, he spoke, "And it's not an ordinary phantom song demon, it is estimated that it is a phantom song demon." There was a deep fear in the words.
Ice Venerable blurted out in an instant, "How is it possible?" After speaking, he also felt inappropriate, but at this moment he did not apologize, but looked at Mo Lao in shock, as if expecting Mo Lao to tell his reason. The Phantom Song Demon and the Phantom Song Demon in Mo Lao's mouth are not at the same level, not only is the bloodline of the Phantom Song Demon much purer in terms of blood, but also far stronger than the Phantom Song Demon in terms of strength, and ordinary Phantom Song Enchantresses are all middle-level beast kings.
These are not what surprised the Ice Venerable, what surprised him was that every time the Phantom Song Demon Queen was dispatched, there were dozens of them, and there were hundreds or thousands of them, and there would be super magical beasts such as the Phantom Song Princess, the Phantom Song Demon Queen and the Phantom Song Queen, and the horror level was self-evident.
The guard general obviously also knew the power of this Phantom Song Demon Queen, and after listening to Mo Lao's words, his eyes instantly froze, and he groaned slightly, turning his head to the Ice Venerable and said, "Ice Master, you will protect the residents and retreat together in a while." ”
"What?" As if he didn't understand what the guard general said, the Ice Venerable looked at the other party in surprise, seeing that the guard general didn't seem to be joking, the Ice Venerable snorted coldly, "Nonsense, just with these soldiers under your command, how can you stop the beast tide? Can you fill it up by people? How long can you fill it?" At this moment, Ice Venerable changed his original indifference, and shouted with some excitement, he couldn't understand the guard's practice of letting soldiers go to death.
"We are soldiers of the empire, it is our responsibility to defend our homeland, it is also our glory, and it is our mission, and you and these strong people behind you are the foundation of the empire, and they cannot be thrown here casually. The guard general did not change his mind because of the Ice Venerable's rage, and said calmly, but there was a hint of undoubted taste in his voice. Although his words were heard by many of the soldiers at the head of the city, there was no objection from those soldiers, and the soldiers regarded obedience as their duty, and each of them, from the moment he joined the army, was ready to serve the country at any time.
"Nonsense, it's just nonsense, these are flying monsters, do you think that just your archers and heavy crossbows can stop their steps?" What the Ice Venerable said is not unfounded, the reason why the flying monsters are more terrifying than the land monsters is that they fly, not only can they destroy the human defense line in a more tricky way, but they can also more easily bypass the human defense line and directly attack the refugees or the residents of the city, so in the Ice Venerable's opinion, the idea of the guard is not realistic, and even a little naïve.
The guard general smiled slightly, and did not reason with the angry Ice Venerable, but slowly lifted his battle robe, and the soft sound of the collision of some crystals ...... reached the ears of several people.
"This is ......" Ice Venerable didn't care about the image of a grandmaster-level powerhouse, and looked at the dozen or so dark crystals in the guard's robe in a daze, those crystals were not surprising at all, but they gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Black Fire Crystals?" Mo Lao said in a deep voice as he stared at those crystals.
"That's right, it's not just me, all the soldiers are covered with black fire crystals, and as long as the residents are evacuated, we won't care about it anymore, so let's go. As he spoke, the guard slowly covered his robe and fastened the belt around his waist.
At this moment, whether it was the Ice Venerable, the peak powerhouse like Mo Lao, or Jing Chen and the other golden-robed people, their eyes were moist. At this moment, how come they still don't understand the thoughts of the guards and all the soldiers defending the city?
Cologne Fortress, outside the General's Palace.
"Madame, it's time for us to hit the road. The maid came to a middle-aged woman with gray hair and said respectfully.
The woman did not move, but looked up in the direction of the city, where the lights were bright, where there was a little cold, where there was ...... There is her man, the defender of the Cologne fortress. She was holding a small wooden box in her arms, which was the ashes of the major general who had been martyred in the battle yesterday, and in the afternoon, the guard handed over this wooden box to her, and before she could be buried, she encountered such a thing.
On the streets of the Cologne Fortress, the flow of people has gradually thinned out, and the residents have withdrawn from the Cologne Fortress in an orderly manner under the organization of a part of the soldiers. At the moment when the last resident walked out of the fortress, all the soldiers left the evacuated crowd and silently returned to the fortress, closing the gate more than ten meters high.
Countless dark shadows shuttled through the fortress of Cologne, they silently walked back and forth between the streets, looking for a suitable position, and the moonlight from the sky, occasionally shining on their military insignia, these were all soldiers of the Holy Spirit Empire. These soldiers skillfully climb rooftops or hide in corners, making them difficult to spot even the most nocturnal beasts from a distance.
At the head of the city, the Ice Venerable did not deny the words of the guard again, he looked up at the sky, the direction of the demonic beast tide, and fell into contemplation, and the flying demonic beasts in the sky seemed to have adapted to Mo Lao's coercion, and slowly pressed it again, but this time they were much more careful and cautious.
After a long time, the Ice Venerable said slowly, "You are going to die. The voice has a strong smell of vicissitudes.
"Ice Master. The guard looked around, "Do you think I want to take them to death? I don't want to! They all have their own parents, some already have their own families, their own children, and I dream of letting them all go out alive and return to their own families alive!"
"But you ......," the Ice Venerable hesitated.
"Ice Master, right now I only have two options. Or, take all the soldiers and flee with the inhabitants of the Cologne Fortress, endure the hunt of these flying monsters, watch the countless residents who believe in the empire believe in us being killed, and watch countless children who have not yet grown up being killed...... Watching them be killed, while I, we, these soldiers of the Empire, gave up resistance, abandoned the mission, gave up the oath to the imperial flag when I enlisted, and could only flee with shame, maybe we could survive, but what we left behind was endless infamy, and finally was pushed to a military tribunal and tried. ”
The Ice Venerable was silent, and that was indeed the case. The Empire will never forgive the soldiers who give up resistance and flee, and it will not be tolerated for these soldiers who value glory more than their lives.
The guard continued with a calm expression, "Of course, I have a second choice, as the defender of Cologne City, I will hold my ground until the last second, maybe some of us will die, maybe all of us will die, but this can at least leave hope for those residents, those people of the empire, so that they have more time to escape to safety." ”
"Ice Master, as a soldier of the Empire, we are never afraid of death, as long as we die well, as long as we die for the Empire, we will never hesitate. I, already a father of three, but yesterday, my youngest son also died in the battle with the Warcraft, really, I am proud of them, they are my greatest pride!" Just as the voice of the guard fell, I don't know who was the first to roar out the military might of the Empire.
"Do your best, and then die!"
"Do your best, and then die!"
“......”
Wave after wave of military might shook the heavens and the earth, echoing in the quiet night sky, and many residents who had just left Cologne City turned their heads and looked in the direction of Cologne City, where there were their relatives and where there was the glory of the empire!
