Chapter 678: Parting Gifts
The closer the city is to the source of the tide of the dead, the better it becomes, because the creatures have no time to react, they become part of the tide, and the city's treasures are preserved intact.
Others were afraid to come near the source to ingest these cities, but Adam dared. Unlike other forces, he was not afraid of Maya, Pachu and others. On the contrary, the scattered wandering spirits that are not in the eyes of others are his troubles.
This move allowed him to gain great popularity in a short period of time. While those who came from their hometowns knew what was going on, the natives didn't.
No one will debunk him, because to debunk him is to debunk himself.
Many natives saw them as warriors and hopes, but instead of pleasing Adam, he was very depressed. Looking back now, it seems that I made the wrong choice. If you had been able to take a long-term view and not fully accept Bran's suggestion, but to make a more glorious image, would you have been able to attract believers with great fanfare now?
It's like Shanti occasionally complains - success is also a conspiracy, defeat is also a conspiracy.
If you didn't know what happened to Edge, maybe you would have felt better. Aitch had what others had painstakingly obtained, just because he was soft-hearted.
It's really - people are more popular than people!
For some reason, he extended a "helping" hand to his younger brother Edge. If there is no meow, maybe everything will go smoothly, and there won't be so many bad things later.
Meow Meow, that unlucky kid, I don't know who to learn from, I don't know how to reason at all, and the way I handle things is outrageously simple.
- Hit!
And that kid has an unusually sharp instinct, and it's even more speechless - most of the time he just acts on his instincts.
The bad guys, those who received special missions, were pointed out on the spot by this unlucky kid. Of course, Aitch wouldn't be reckless and drive people away in person, but as things unfolded, Adam felt that it was better to drive them away.
As it turns out, Aitch prefers to trust the hapless kid, Meowmeow, rather than his older brother.
Just as the men sent began to stir up the mind, Aitch appeared. There's nothing more embarrassing than catching you red-handed......
It's just that Meow Meow jumped out directly to kill people, which is a bit excessive. What's even more excessive is that he also cleaned up those who he didn't think were good people. In the face of Meow Meow, who has spatial power, Aige is powerless to stop it. Perhaps, he didn't think about stopping it.
Meow Meow's nonsense makes the two brothers lose room to turn around. Since then, the relationship between the two brothers has become somewhat delicate. The territory of the younger brother has also become one of the few places where they are not welcomed.
Adam tried to explain—he wanted to tell his brother that he wasn't targeting him, but everyone. This is the decision that Bran put forward at the dinner table, and everyone knows and agrees.
But my brother's reply made the defense seem weak—no more than me, no less than me.
yes, "One more of him is not too much, and one less of him is not too much." "This small setback has not had any impact on the overall situation.
Perhaps......
Like those people, Aitch won't debunk him and can't debunk him, but—are there some things that really need to be debunked?
For a moment, Adam felt strange to himself, as if some kind of power was twisting and obliterating his old self. But he is not nostalgic for the old days, just because he doesn't want to be the kind of person in his younger brother's mouth, "no more than him, no less than him".
He is not a gifted wizard, so he must constantly exchange and give up to achieve his goal. Even if he is talented, Bran also needs to give up his flesh and blood in exchange for what he is today.
Adam tries to find an excuse to appease the guilt in his heart. But the truth is - there is no need for excuses at all, and the clutter quickly diverts his attention.
Some people who have always been low-key suddenly moved, and the world changed again. Avena shouted the slogan "The world of the living does not belong to the dead", and took the lead in putting on a large-scale counteroffensive formation, which attracted the attention of the world.
This lifeless world is also full of vitality. The sudden appearance of the hope of victory gradually increased the smiles on people's faces. Even the most cowardly people are infected and become brave. As a result, more and more people took up arms and walked out of the towns......
They are still too young compared to those who have been around for a long time. Erin's premature release of the news put the night side into a situation where everyone shouted and beat him, and he, Adam, failed to respond in a timely and effective manner, wasting the advantage gained in the early stage.
Those old fellows taught him a vivid lesson, and made him understand what it means to judge the situation.
With bad news, Erin puts on a desperate stance to loot his town. After judging the situation for a while, he decided to take the initiative to abandon a few along the line. After the Night Man passes, he can still easily retrieve the town without causing much damage.
Kano, who has been idle, stood up at this time and reminded - if he gave in at this time, what would the world think?
- The prestige we have accumulated in the early stage will be wiped out as a result.
Kano's reminder left Adam a little disheartened. Yes, now it is no more than before - the counteroffensive has been completed, and retreating at this time will only bear the name of greed for life and fear of death.
He can spread rumors and deceive people, and so can others. Just as he tried to isolate the Death Knights in the first place, others will isolate them.
With the complete exit of the Night Party, the world will be safe, and they will be dispensable.
But what else can be done?
Withdraw—
Even if it were to stay there at the cost of some people's lives, it would not help. In the face of success, our failures can become a symbol of incompetence.
Unless we can win the battle, but do you think—is that possible? Irene just brought out the old dragon of Nita, and we can't handle it. Don't forget, there are several similar beings in their sacrifices.
......
Because of Ayman and the people, Erin's actions were not intended to target Adam. It's just that in the case of the world's enemy, the optimal solution was chosen.
But Nita's private words gave her a new understanding.
"Have you ever looked down on the world, looked back at history? In the torrent of history, how many moments of life and death will be recorded?
Most of our ——, are just going with the flow.
Luckily, someone put you at the head of the tide and gave you the opportunity to lead it. Unfortunately, it can also be very unfortunate that you can be crushed at any time.
I know the real reason for your invitation. You don't want to confront your former brother and your former clansmen directly, but how long can you escape?"
yes, how long can she escape? So she made up her mind that she wouldn't target anyone again, and she wouldn't let anyone go out of her way.
The road ahead was very smooth, but sorting and carrying supplies still slowed down. So more and more people are approaching from behind.
In Nita's words, Avena miscalculated, she overestimated our ability to act. You warriors, though you have decent strength, are far less capable of doing your job than ordinary coolies.
"What do they want?"
"Oh, all that we have discarded.
They describe us as scavenging monsters, but they are. After death, it was they who rummaged through the piles of corpses and took everything we couldn't take with them. Those who are bold will even crowd around us to compete with us. ”
Nita paused, "If it weren't for your procrastination, we would have arrived a long time ago. Anvina will also take over everything we have left behind. Bran was right—she was an old witch.
Don't look at me like that, I'm inferior to her in many ways. It's not just me who has this self-knowledge, but everyone else too. So, more and more people are reacting. ”
......
Maya was lying in a huge crater, arguing with a few necromancers in Pachu.
For shamans like Pachu, spreading death was just a job that had to be done. So as soon as the tide of the undead fell, they ran back one after another to start new records and research. Maya, who was lying on the sidelines and bored, was quickly attracted by various studies.
While Pachu did not enjoy spreading death, his research revolved around this purpose, as they were engaged in a campaign.
As research progressed, the crater began to change. First the rudimentary tower peeked out of the crater, and then the magic mixed with smoke and dust formed a large cloud of darkness that rose up, leaving a thin layer of mist on the ground and making everything shadowy.
The remnants of the dead no longer wandered the ground, but turned into clusters of phosphorus fire and shuttled through the clouds. From time to time, the spirits of the dead swooped down from the clouds, swept to the ground with a shrill howl, and swung through a gap in the mist.
The wind, sending the dragon's roar into everyone's ears. Soon, Erin was the first to appear in front of Maya. As they arrived, more people and horses formed a circle around the place.
Nita looked at the crowd who were in a hurry to leave, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"You can't just leave. ”
In the confusion of everyone, Maya asked aloud, "Why?"
"Don't you think that the arrogance of those behind you is too arrogant? If you leave in this state, do you think there will be a little bit of awe left in those mortal things?
Do not forget your duty, you need to imprint reverence in the hearts of all things, so that they will keep the fear of death.
Over the years, you have not done very well, and there have been many mistakes in the handling before leaving, but your luck is good, and there is still a chance to make amends.
- Those people made a mistake and shouldn't have gotten too close.
Now, you need to leave the last horrors of the world ......"
......
Anvina led the centaurs through the corpse-strewn battlefield to the bottom of the crater. Looking up at the towering portal, she couldn't help but smile on her face, even if there were some deviations in the process, she still had the last laugh.
When the dark clouds rolled in the sky and the black dragon roared out, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, still maintaining a safe distance.
Those fools rejoiced too soon and relaxed too early. In the face of the tide of death made up of dragons, undead, and death knights, they even have a chance to escape.
Victory is just around the corner, but unfortunately some people can't enjoy it anymore......
