Chapter 295: The Betrayer and the Betrayed
During her lifetime, Calista was a general of a long-forgotten empire, and her uncle was also the great king of the empire. She was proud of her allegiance to the king throughout her life, and she was just and strict.
During an assassination attempt, Calista saved the king's life, but accidentally caused the poisoned blade to bounce into the queen's body.
After the queen was poisoned, the king called all the doctors and healers in the country, but he still could not detoxify. Seeing that the queen was dying, the king appointed her to find an antidote.
Before leaving, Calista appointed her newly acquired Iron Order, Hekarim, to protect the king for her.
Hecarim thought she wanted him to go with her, but he didn't expect it to be such a trivial thing in his opinion. For this, he secretly held a grudge.
Calista's footprints have traveled all over Valoran, visiting world-famous mages and physicians, visiting high-ranking people who live in seclusion in the mountains, and even stepping on many dangerous places that humans have not dared to set foot in.
Several times, she almost died on the way to search. What sustained her until the end was her incomparably loyal heart.
Even so, she got nothing. Eventually, she heard that in the vast sea, there was a legendary island of Fuguang hidden in the mist. All sickness and affliction will be redeemed there. But no mortal can see and find this island.
She resolutely embarked on a new journey by boat, not afraid of hardships and dangers.
The wise man on Fuguang Island learned of Calista's arrival through divination, and was even more impressed by Calista's loyalty and bravery.
Clearing the white mist, Calista was ushered to shore by the island's inhabitants and guardians. She prayed to them to heal the ailing queen, and the island's master gladly accepted.
However, Calista needs to bring the queen to the island so they can purify her.
Before leaving, the islanders informed Calista of an arcane spell that could be used to pass through a barrier of mist formed by magic. But the islanders warned her not to reveal the secret to others.
Calista happily rushed back to her homeland, and Hekarim took care of her, but the news of the queen's death struck her like lightning.
The king, who imprisoned himself and the queen's body, heard of Calista's return, and immediately summoned her and asked her to inform him of her presence.
There was no point in carrying the corpse to Fuguang Island, and Calista refused to answer.
The mad king threw her into prison and imprisoned her for eternity unless she repented.
Hecarim visits her in prison and tries to convince Calista to tell her secrets.
A country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and if the king does not care about the government because the queen has not been concerned, the country will perish sooner or later.
After some struggle, Calista agrees to tell her story and decides to take the queen to Fukumitsu Island to try her luck. If she couldn't do it, she would bring the queen back, and never allow anyone else to force the good islanders.
This time, the king himself led his army by boat to Fukumitsu Island, and Calista could only obey. Due to the urgency of the situation, most of the people who were brought out were Hekarim's Iron Regiment.
Before the mist, Calista unravels the mist by chanting the spell that the islanders taught her. The beautiful scenery of Fukko Island caught everyone's eyes, and they couldn't help but admire that this place deserves to be a place of happiness that only exists in legends.
The Elder of the Guardians of the Island received Calista and his party and introduced them to the city on the island.
As soon as the king came up, he asked the elders to resurrect the queen, but the elders sternly refused on the grounds that it was against the laws of nature to escape death.
Enraged, the king ordered Calista to kill the Elder, but Calista refused.
She also advised the king to return to China as soon as possible to preside over the government, and the queen's death was already a fact.
But the king was no longer the wise, great uncle she had been, and he ordered her to kill the elder again.
Distraught, Calista turned to Hekarim for help, hoping that he would join her in dissuading the king, who had been enslaved by grief.
And Hecarim showed his ambition at this time, he wanted to take Calista's place!
The thought of being used by the king as soon as Calista returned ignited a fire of jealousy in Hekarim's heart. Remembering the last time Calista didn't take him with him to look for medicine, he held a grudge even more.
During Calista's absence, Hekarim witnessed the king's transformation from grief to paranoia. The whole country persuaded the king to mourn the day, but the king angrily demanded that Hekarim teach the men a lesson.
In order to prove that he is stronger than Calista, Hekarim, who was ordered, directly killed those voices in blood. And in order to establish a greater honor, Hekarim tried to go to war to make the king remember his bravery.
After repeatedly slandering the clues that he had found an antidote in other countries, Hecarim finally got his wish and led his army to fight against foreign tribes.
This otherwise thriving kingdom has become extremely fragile and empty due to the king's indifference to the death of the queen and the repeated wars of Hecarim.
The people lived in misery, and famine was everywhere.
When Hekarim returned enthusiastically, he heard the news of Calista's return, and fearing that Calista would notice that something was wrong, he hurried to greet Calista.
Along the way, Hekarim tried to avoid passing through cities that had been devastated by the war, and ordered people to create the illusion of prosperity along the way.
Back in the capital, Hekarim separated from Callista and told the king alone that he had conquered another tribe. But the king's ignorance, and the occasional Calista in his mouth, made him even more angry.
But when he learned that Calista refused to answer her present, Hekarim knew his chance had come!
Yes, his chance has come!
Coming back to his senses from the memories, Hekarim hid his thoughts. As usual, he pretended to follow Calista's instructions and came behind her.
Calista didn't know that Hecarim was rebellious, and she even thought that Hecarim was as loyal as she was.
As everyone knows, the spear in Hecarim's hand has been lifted and is facing her back.
Flutter!
The spear pierced Calista's back from behind, splattering blood everywhere.
Calista's pupils narrowed, and she looked behind her in disbelief. Her assassin was her most admired and reliable subordinate, Hekarim!
Looking at Calista's look of disbelief, Hekarim smiled grimly. He also seemed to see that he was about to become the king's most important general!
"The Iron Regiment obeyed the order, and Calista repeatedly disobeyed the king's orders and killed her immediately!"
At the sound of an order, the knights of the Iron Regiment threw out their spears one after another.
And Callista was ruthlessly pierced by countless chaotic spears!
Calista's body was riddled with holes, and blood was dripping down the spears. What shocked her even more was that Hecarim ordered the Iron Order to slaughter another group of soldiers who followed her.
Thump!
Calista fell to her knees, dying. She looked feebly and desperately at her slaughtered soldiers, hatred for the betrayer in her eyes that seemed to ignite a raging fire.
Before losing consciousness completely, Calista swore that she would give the betrayer her life.
Executing the soldiers of absolute loyalty, Hecarim ordered the Iron Regiment to slaughter all the inhabitants of the island.
It wasn't until they saw a pale and flimsy crumb with a lantern in their hands beneath the ground that they stopped the slaughter. The reason for the stop is because the miscellaneous said that he knew the way to resurrect the queen.
At the king's behest, the queen was resurrected, only to be transformed into an ugly zombie.
The queen didn't expect the king to do so many wrong things for herself, and she felt guilty. Besides, she did not want to live in such a posture, and she begged the king to give her a death to rest in the ground.
The king also came to his senses at this moment, and he also realized that he had made an irreparable mistake. Feeling speechless, he returned to face his people and cast a spell that ended his life and that of the queen, and locked his and the queen's souls together forever.
However, due to the special magic circle of Fuguang Island, the power of this spell was infinitely enhanced. It turned into a black misty storm that swept through the entire island of Fukumi, centered on the two kings.
Wherever the black mist passed, all living beings instantly turned into resentful undead spirits. The plants on the island also dissipated in an instant, and the aura of black magic invaded the bodies of these plants.
The breath of black magic is still spreading and distorting this once vibrant and well-being place.
Frightened and frightened by the dying king, Hekarim fled frantically towards the shore.
As far as the eye could see, all creatures touched by the black mist turned into terrifying monsters.
Hecarim's body trembled on his horse, and despite his haste of speed, the Black Mist pursued him.
Finally, when the black mist touched him, his body gradually merged with his warhorse, turning into a terrifying monster consumed by the desire to kill.
Perhaps, this is the real him in the depths of his soul, and he can finally face himself.
The soul of the previously dead Calista gradually turned into a blue-skinned female undead dressed in a general's uniform under the confinement of the black mist, but her aura and spiritual intelligence were much higher than those low-level undead around her.
Looking at the scene of death and horror in front of me, the memories of the past gradually faded.
But she also remembered one person she had to kill - Hekarim!
Looking at the undead spear that pierced her body on her left chest, Calista pulled it out with a blank face.
Shaking her head, the long flowing ponytail raised by her helmet swayed, and the length of the shawl behind her swayed slightly.
The moment she drew her spear, the flames of her vengeance instantly swept through her body like a blazing prairie fire.
The unquenchable ghostly fire flickered in her eyes, and she knew that only Hecarim's death could be quelled.
She could feel the breath of Hecarim, and she could feel the endless magic surging through her.
A kind of necromancy flashed through her mind, and with a flash of Callista, she appeared on the beach where she had landed before.
She saw Hecarim, and she saw that Hecarim had also been twisted into a wraith.
Just as he wanted to make Hekarim unable to even do the undead, Calista stopped. A contract spell that would never be betrayed flashed through her mind, and she decided that Hecarim would experience the pain of her betrayal.
Eternal life and eternal incarnation as her slave!
Reciting an obscure incantation in her mind, Calista stabbed Hekarim with a spear in her hand, running tirelessly and frantically on the shore.
As the spear pierced Hekarim's body, Calista could feel the pact take effect.
Feeling the fear and absolute loyalty of Hekarim in her heart, Calista stopped looking at him.
The anger in her heart had subsided a lot, but it could never really be calmed down.
Looking at the sunlight in the distance that was gradually beginning to disappear from Fuguang Island forever, Calista muttered to herself.
Her voice was a trembling demonic sound, and the whole island echoed with her words of resentment and determination.
"When wronged, we seek justice."
"When we get hurt, we fight back."
"When betrayed, the vengeful spear strikes back mercilessly!"
