Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Prelude to the War
Port on the banks of the Limmat River, Zurich, Switzerland.
On this day, the Limmat River was shrouded in a thick fog.
In the fog, where no trace of air movement was felt and the humidity was unusually thick, a large passenger ship docked at the dock.
On this large, weather-hardened passenger ship, on the deck of the pointed bow near the railing on the side of the harbor, a man in sunglasses, facing the east side of the Limmat River, looked at the scenery and exhaled a puff of smoke.
The man, faintly illuminated by the sparse streetlights on the pier, was looking at the city.
"Is the core of the Outer Lodge, the Dorrell's Regiment, here?"
As he muttered to himself, a light blue light lit up in the distance from the sky, from the misty water.
The man seemed to sense something, and his gaze turned to the location of the light blue light.
It's a flame, a light blue flame.
The flame that swayed slightly up and down came from a monster that looked like a big bird and a man.
It has wing-like arms, resembles the shape of a bird, but has no head, and is covered in animal hair, with a pair of eyes on its tall chest and a cracked mouth on its abdomen.
The pair of claws, which were a little longer than the adult men, easily left a few holes in the deck as it landed.
"General!"
This monster, which can be seen as a birdman in its appearance, has a male voice from its split mouth on its chest:
"The encirclement of Dorel's group has been completed, and the other party has not yet realized that he is surrounded, and the others in the outside world have not moved."
After hearing the headless birdman's report, Xiu Denan replied with a mocking smile:
"Isn't that a matter of course? The old woman sent most of the free division. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look to the west and continued:
"Most of our masquerade masters have been sent out, and if this can be discovered, then the old woman is a joke."
The headless birdman lowered his head and did not dare to evaluate.
Only the general dared to call Lord Belopeoro like that.
The staff officer was far-sighted, planned and then acted, and for thousands of years, he cultivated a large number of free teachers in the masquerade.
These are the backbone of the masquerade, and if the first major operation fails, the staff will also be questioned.
In fact, he was also very worried.
Because, in the past two hundred years, the Dorrell's group has escaped from them five or six times.
But fortunately, this time, it finally worked.
Before the great fate is realized, it will be able to destroy the "brains" of all the Fire Mist Warriors in this organization.
"Stolas."
General Hudenan briefly asked:
"They're going to come back to Zurich again, you didn't expect that, did you?"
"Yes."
The Headless Birdman, the proclamator of the masquerade, the Red World Demon King with the same name as Stolas, the 36th Demon God in the mythology of King Solomon's 72 Pillars of Demon God, bent his body as low as possible as if he wanted to lower his non-existent head:
"There's really no room for excuses."
Very honestly, the announcer Stolas responded.
"The guy who guards the vault and the guy who delivers the message hasn't been disposed of, so it's no wonder that the European Fire Mist Warriors are making trouble."
Shudenan, who had been wandering around before the incident in Misaki City, had only recently learned about the world's general situation.
Hearing this, the headless birdman bent his body even lower.
Glancing at him, Xiu Denan smiled:
"It's okay, it should be said, thanks to you guys who don't have the ability to settle these troubles, otherwise a guy like me wouldn't have the means to gain a foothold."
Although the words sounded sarcastic, Stolas, the proclamator, was not dissatisfied.
No matter how reprimanded by the general, it is a matter of course.
After all, this is the Three Pillars of the Ball, the most powerful martial arts demon king-
Thousands of changes, Xiu Denan.
However, looking at him bowing his head and being silent, Xiu Denan smiled and shook his head:
"So, it's time to get started."
He jerked out his right arm, and the cloudy purple flames swirled around it, making it thicker and more like a beast's head.
At the same time, his right arm, which had become thick, suddenly cracked open with fangs.
Immediately, a halberd protruded from between the fangs and teeth.
Stolas, the procurator, looked at the weapon and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Artifact - Divine Iron Ruyi.
The God of Creation, one of the three treasures made by the Alliance Lord, can only be used when carrying out the Imperial Order.
That is, now, the great fate is coming.
Under his slightly excited gaze, Xiu Denan swung a steel spear more than four meters long, and a brutal smile appeared on his face.
"Look at it, Stolas."
Xiu Denan, who noticed his expression, smiled.
The headless birdman thought that the general was going to give the order to attack, and immediately bowed his head:
"I will immediately notify the troops to enter the ....."
"Make no mistake. Stolas. ”
Xiu Denan interrupted him suddenly:
"The reason why I let you surround the enemy is just so that you can clean up the pieces and kill the fish that escaped from my hands."
"But ....."
"Don't make me say it again, you and the rest of the guys are watching me obediently, don't come to get in the way of me from carrying out the long-lost imperial order, and I don't like to let soldiers die for nothing....."
Speaking of this, he seemed to add a sentence:
"If you use Shentie Ruyi, you can't be merciful."
Not for fear of being killed by the enemy, by the Fire Mist Warrior, but for fear of being killed by himself.
"Yes!"
Warned by Hudenan, Proclamator Stolas immediately nodded yes.
After saying that, Xiu Denan smiled, and then, as the turbid purple flames swirled, he stepped the deck with his legs.
With the eruption of turbid purple flames, Xiu Denan's body quickly rushed out.
However, in Stolas's eyes, after Xiudenan's body rushed out, it seemed to have been stagnant in the air.
Except for a slight change in shape.....
No, it's not right, it's the body that has gotten bigger!
Stolas couldn't be sure of Hudnan's body, but when he turned his gaze to the water, he immediately noticed the distance.
The general's body continued to grow larger, and the treasure in his hand also grew in size, appearing along with the speed of the flight, giving him a feeling of stagnation in the air.
......
"Come on, tools."
Xiu Denan, whose body continued to skyrocket and become larger, kept changing.
Sharp fangs, huge fleshy membrane wings, and the limbs of various ferocious beasts mixed together on one body, forming a fierce and strange transformation.
Raising his hand, the huge steel spear, which had already exceeded fifteen meters, swept towards the building of the outside world.
At the same time as the turbid purple flame burst into flames, one thing was announced.
The war between the Fire Mist Warriors and the Red Apostles has begun.
