Chapter 221: Despair
Adam didn't know what it would be like when other people's dreams came true. Since childhood, he has dreamed of taking his father's place and becoming the master here. And now, my childhood dream has finally come true......
Northland people have always kept their promises, especially on the premise that their arms are not as thick as others. Although it was not a promise, it was just that he didn't take care of this mouth in anger.
Adam hid back in the bedroom and pumped his mouth a few times, and after learning the pain, he realized that his arms were too thin. If this kind of thing falls on Lily or Bran, will they dare? They can't be coaxed or persuaded, why should they dig a hole for Lao Tzu?
And Edge, how many black cauldrons he has carried for him since he was a child, and he actually ran away by himself! The more Adam thought about it, the more angry he became, and at this moment he felt that the whole world had abandoned him.
After venting, another nature of the Northland people - resigned to his fate and saved him in time. Since it has happened and there is no way to get rid of it, then it can only be faced.
Adam gradually calmed down. He is not a self-pitying man, and as the eldest son he will eventually inherit here. From the moment he was born, this burden had already fallen on his head. It's just that I didn't expect it to be so soon, and it would be thrown to him in advance when he was ready to make a contribution.
In a child's play, young Adam becomes the new owner of the castle. He sat in the old study, bringing a touch of vitality to the place.
Now, the environment in the Northland has become more complicated, and all kinds of people of all kinds have begun to flock to the west, such as old and strong, young and strong, and strong-blooded. Just like when they poured into the castle, only this time the personnel were more complex and the purpose was very different.
Most of those who stay behind are a group of helpless unlucky people. Now, the center of the Northlands has followed in Lily's footsteps, gradually moving to the West, moving beyond the West. I heard that Lily and Bran turned into gods and built a god-given city in a few days to accept the worship of demons.
And they have no choice but to sit at home without yearning and envy.
After the initial reserve, in the face of huge benefits, the issue of distribution had to be put on the agenda. And Vincent, the unjustifiable agent has gradually become uncontrollable. Fortunately, Lily, the owner, did not raise any objections, because she did not bother to pay attention to the noise in the rear.
Now her men are strong, and everything is going well. The demons outside the city regard her as a god, the little wizards in the city regard him as the patriarch, and the insects around her are her most loyal servants. The trouble she had expected didn't show up, and Khan surprised her by his abilities.
The demons outside the city were under his command and arrangement, and everything was in order. On the north side of the city of Two Wings, a vassal town began to take shape, not tall and magnificent, but also neat. As a servant of the gods, it is natural to understand the likes and dislikes of the gods. They can be unclothed, but they must be clean.
Fortunately, the gods are not harsh, but the tolerance of the gods is not a reason for slaves to indulge. Kehan, who has gradually become a fanatic, although he no longer has the luxury of the past, has found another kind of bearing in simplicity - holiness.
The gods approved of him, and Khan was now free to enter and leave the city of Wings. Although he was still unable to climb the tower of the Divine Abode, facing the two statues in the square every day gave him great satisfaction.
Here, he listened to the instructions of the gods and returned to his work.
Lily sat on top of the tower, her golden wings slowly stretched out against the sun, and a few butterflies flew out of their wings from time to time, flicking a few times and then fusing back again.
Bran's actions in Anya finally reached her after several turnovers. A city, she murmured, is that so?
With the whispers, a light mist rose from the body. A wave of light began to spread from the top of the tower, and its trajectory formed a huge circle in the sky. When the light waves reached the edge of the city, the light mist poured down like flowing water, and the whole city was gradually filled with them.
It wasn't until night fell that the light curtain slowly dissipated with the setting sun.
Winged City has not changed, except that the eyes of the little wizards inside the city are brighter, and the prayers outside the city are more religious.
Khan led the praying crowd, and he felt himself aware of the nature of God—light and darkness. One of the two gods faces the rising sun and turns his back on the setting sun, while the other does the opposite.
But he had a bigger question, what did the black cat that was embraced by the darkness represent? Our sacrifices and prayers seemed to have forgotten him, which made Khan break out in a cold sweat.
......
It's not just Khan who wants to flatter the gods, but Rio is also working hard. After resting for two days in Winged City, the cannibals continued westward. Now he saw a better position, with the Worm King staying with his master in Winged City, maybe he could too.
There was one more team on the march, Nicole led the defenders of the former town of Sitong, and now the atoning army of Winged City joined the westward expedition. She didn't expect her proposal to be approved so easily, and then the weapons and equipment were returned to their hands for distribution.
Only the gods would be so dismissive of them. But the gods at least gave them a chance, a chance to atone for their sins. From the mouths of those cannibals, they already knew how the gods had destroyed the army of demons and how they had taken over the town of Silverpine. They began to rejoice that the gods had shown them kindness, and now was their time to repay the kindness.
In the team, a large flag is waving in the wind, and a pair of wings on the flag are dancing in the wind. The statues of the gods are enshrined on a cart, which is where their beliefs lie. With the gods by their side, they will be fearless.
Ryo envied the atoning army, which was too ragged compared to the cannibals. How can there be such a big difference between the same prisoners? They are only barely surviving after nine deaths.
The cannibals' eyes grew red, and they began to show bloodlust and madness as they looked at the Atonement. But the banner fluttering in the Atonement Army, the statues of the gods, made them dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool.
Eventually, the cannibals shook off the Atonement Army, and they continued their battle with war. This grassland is too vast, and there are always fish that slip through the net, waiting for them to grab and kill. Instead of being red in this eye, it is better to take a step faster.
Ryo sped up his advance, which clearly stimulated the Atonement Army, and the competition began.
The remnants of a hundred battles are not comparable to the Atonement Army, and the two sides are obviously not on the same level. For the first few days, the Atonement Army could only follow behind and eat dirt.
Seeing that nothing could be done, Nicole adjusted the marching route in time. Nicole was far more familiar with the place than the others, and since Ryo had left them, there was no need for them to chase in the footsteps of these madmen.
As the route was adjusted, the Atonement Army began to make gains. Compared to the cannibals' extermination of humanity, the Atonement Army at least gives the target a chance to choose - surrender or die!
That's how the gods gave them, and now they're going to punish them on their behalf.
......
Compared to people with complex minds, biters are much simpler and more efficient. There are already scattered insects that have appeared under the city of Yong'an. After looking at it for a while, it gradually disappeared from the field of vision of the demons in the city. The last important town of the Scarlet Plains Demon Clan has finally welcomed their enemies.
The news of the defeat at the front has already come back. After Bran cleared Anya's defense line, he ignored it, and soon the anomaly there was discovered by the demons, and the news was transmitted back to Yong'an City. After that, the town of Sitong also lost contact. All this shows that the defense line of the demon race has completely collapsed.
Occasionally, there will be a rout, but most of them are embarrassed. If you're lucky, you'll be able to run down to the city and be pulled into the city by ropes, and more will disappear into the grass by the roadside.
A few days after the swarm arrived at the city, Ryo led the crowd to the city. After showing off his might under the city, Ryo once again led the crowd away and continued to search the grassland.
A few days later, Nicole arrived at the city with a large army. Unlike the first two, this is an army that has always been decent.
Nicole's arrival was a relief to the city of Yong'an. Compared with the momentum outside the city, the troops in Yong'an City may not be enough to attack, but they are more than enough to defend the city.
As the Atonement Army encamped under the city, the two sides entered a standoff. The rout on the steppe was also completely cut off, and the carnival feast of the cannibals became more unscrupulous.
Nicole knew that her mission was not to conquer the city, but to gain the favor of the gods. She looked at Yong'an City, which was guarding the mountain pass, watched the flags of the opposite city change, and guessed what it would look like after the city pass.
Soon, the gods were coming, and she began her routine prayer.
