Chapter 1389: Enemies on the Surface
Rumble!
With a deafening bang!
A behemoth burst out of the magically reinforced ground and quickly swept through everything within a few kilometers of it before anyone could react.
Whether it's temporary buildings made of stone and magical clay, or special buildings shrouded in protective spells, they all turn into piles of rubble.
In this underground world filled with powerful fields, nothing can fight gravity.
Whether it is a naturally existing force, or a supernatural force.
With the power of gravity around the body, which had only recently been mastered, the clay life easily destroyed the restraints scattered around the expeditionary force's camp.
When the suppressed force field was instantly released, everything that the Darents had built on the basis of magic completely collapsed in just about ten minutes.
Some of the unlucky ones even triggered a terrifying backlash, screaming and turning their entire bodies into flames, frost, lightning, or whatever, and finally swallowing their last breath in pain.
Appreciating the chaos, panic, and despair in front of him, Luke pursed the corners of his mouth and said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "See, dear brother, this is the Darent." A civilization built on absolute power, abundant knowledge, and pride. Perhaps they behave like nothing other than other civilizations if they encounter an enemy more powerful than themselves. ”
"What kind of difference do you want to have? Don't forget, although the expeditionary force is also the elite force of the Darents, most of them are located in the lower levels of the pyramid. No matter what kind of social system it is, the people at the bottom will always be the stupidest and the most easily shaken and controlled. In my opinion, the real carriers of civilization are really only a small group of elites at the top of the pyramid. Only their actions, thoughts, and consciousness can determine the upper and lower limits of a civilization. The boy turned his head, his eyes glinting meaningfully.
There is no doubt that even brothers who come from the same spirit and consciousness have different perceptions and values due to the environment in which they grew up.
As a boy with a higher education in Durent, he clearly agreed that the upper elite was the true essence of a civilization.
As for the ordinary people living at the bottom, at best, the knowledge is available to the elites to use as cannon fodder or tools, and no matter how many dead or wounded, as long as the elites are still there, the entire civilization will soon be restored to its original state, or even become stronger.
Conversely, if the elite of a civilization dies completely, then the entire civilization is not far from disappearing.
No matter how large the size of the population is left, it will not make any sense!
Because the entire civilization will eventually fall into chaos, collapse, and even complete extinction because of the lack of vision, management, and planning of the elites.
"No! I think the opposite of you. Civilization is an abstract concept, a collective term that blends knowledge, technology, culture, ideas, and complex emotions. In many cases, the people at the bottom who you regard as meaningless are precisely the most important carriers in the second half. If the upper and lower layers are too separated, then the civilization will become extremely fragile. Even if he has unrivaled power now, he can't withstand a single defeat. A truly mature and excellent civilization should be able to be reborn after many catastrophic failures. Luke expressed his opinion without showing any weakness.
It must be said that the two of them stood in the middle of the ruins, listening to the constant screams and wails around them, and then seriously discussing the essence of the empty word civilization, which was really full of irony. Qiankun Audiobook.com
But what's even more interesting is that the members of the Shadow Guard are even nearby, but they allow the huge clay life to wreak havoc, kill, and destroy everything in the camp.
This went on for a whole hour!
When more than half of the massive expeditionary force was killed and wounded, and countless people waited desperately for the higher-ups to stand up against this powerful monster, the Shadow Guard finally appeared under great anticipation.
With almost no hesitation, they relied on their familiarity with the Pillars of Creation Divine Script to easily confine the clay golem to a specific area and immobilize it as soon as they appeared.
Immediately after, the leader swaggered up to the two boys and roared in an angry tone, "Who gave you the courage to dare to go wild here?"
"Haha! Why, are all the congressmen who claim to be guardians in hiding? Let a few old guys who have been forgotten by history come out and be embarrassed. The boy deliberately pretended not to know each other, and sneered sarcastically.
"It is not just the responsibility of the Parliament to protect the Durant civilization! What's more, do you think we only have a powerful group of spellcasters in the Council? No, the Shadow Guards are the ultimate guardians who have been hiding in the shadows for thousands of years. ”
As he spoke, the leader's entire body released a black, ink-like thick mass.
In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the surrounding area within a few hundred meters.
When the whole huge sphere was completely closed, he lost his disguised expression and said with a smile, "Ah, you are finally here! You know, I have been waiting for the day when our plan will succeed. ”
"It's an honor to work with someone as ambitious as you. The boy also changed his sarcastic tone, and bent down to bow slightly.
I'm afraid that the expeditionary force outside will never know that the enemy who was still fighting for tat just now is actually a gang.
"So...... Are you ready?" the leader went straight to the point without any nonsense.
The boy and Luke looked at each other, and immediately shook their heads slightly, "No, it's not us, it's me." My brother won't go back with you, he has more important things to attend to. ”
"What's more important, it's different from what we've agreed to before!" the leader of the Shadow Guard frowned subconsciously.
As an old monster who has survived for thousands of years with the help of some kind of power, the thing he hates most is uncontrolled sudden changes.
You must know that bringing all two boys back is two completely different feats from bringing only one back.
"I'm sorry, but this is about the future of both of us, and I can't go into details. But rest assured, you can count all the losses and deaths on my head. I believe that with me as the culprit, no matter what excuse the council makes, you must give you certain rights, otherwise they will not be able to account for the expeditionary force outside with heavy casualties......"
