Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Dead and the New
After the sudden and heavy blow, Kogas fell into madness.
However, the man who hurt it was already in pieces, and not even a trace of residue was left in the air, which made it have nowhere to vent its anger.
It shook off its footsteps, ignoring the purple blood splattered everywhere on its chest, came to the edge of the wall of the super barrier, and began to smash and kick wildly, and the towering walls collapsed one after another under the destruction of the huge force of the Corgas, and the middle of the wall that had cracked a huge gap began, and this huge crack began to continue to spread, until it reached the end of the mountain range on the western front more than ten kilometers away from the super barrier defense line.
After Galen blew himself up, he completely turned into nothingness, in this world, there is no trace of Galen's existence, Galio is also like losing his soul, kneeling on the half-section of the city wall like that, Corgas vented his hatred after the frenzy, so that more walls collapsed, more and more city bricks, rubble, and rubble fell on Gallio's body, head, and legs, and gradually buried it in the ruins of this ruined wall.
"Boom~~Boom~Rumble~Rumble~"
With a burst of collapse that shook the ground, all the walls of the super barrier defense line finally could no longer support it, and began to fall one after another.
One of the three major passes of the Valoran Continent, which has stood for hundreds of years, the super barrier, has been completely reduced to a once glorious history today.
After seeing all the super-ramparts collapse, Kogas's anger darkened.
It turned to face the Void Force, enveloping all the Void monsters that were about to move with a huge wave of consciousness.
"Boys, go on, go into this kingdom, destroy them, kill them all, eat them, destroy everything that can be destroyed in sight! Go ahead! ”
The roars of thousands of monsters who were excited to the limit resounded over the ruined land, lining the darkness even more intensely against the deep darkness of the night.
At that moment, a glimmer of light appeared in the deep darkness, in the midst of the city, which had long been submerged in ruins.
Gradually, the light grew brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling.
When Kogas saw the same light, he panicked, and he covered the still bleeding wound on his chest with his arms, and took a big stride and ran in the opposite direction, and at the same time, it sent out another wave of consciousness.
"Come on, boys, go shred it! Destroy the enemies in front of you! ”
The diameter of that light has exceeded 100 meters, and it continues to expand, and at the same time as the light expands, the ruins on the super barrier that has long been turned into ruins seem to be attracted, rolling, flying in the air, surging towards the light, more and more, denser and denser......
At this time, many void monsters had already come to the light group, gritting their teeth, claws, and impacting, but there was no way to attack the light.
Gradually, the light cluster had expanded to a range of four or five hundred meters, and more masonry was attracted to it, and in the process of flying along the way, all the void monsters that blocked the path of the stone were smashed to pieces. Moreover, with the increase of inhaled stones, this light cluster continues to expand.
Cogas, who was standing far away and still secretly observing, felt a burst of panic.
If it is not injured, it will not be afraid of these small enemies at all, even if these enemies become as tall as itself, it will not be afraid, but what it is very afraid of is that the other party does not care about their lives at all, and often chooses the way of fighting to the same end.
After much consideration, Kogas decided that it was imperative to return to Ertistan to heal his wounds, and he retreated step by step, not daring to stay on this battlefield for long.
After the diameter of the light cluster expanded to a kilometer, it finally stopped spreading.
The dazzling light softened a lot, and the void monsters around it finally clearly observed what the object in the light cluster was.
It was a stone statue holding a giant sword, wearing armor, wings hundreds of meters long, with a soft face and towering into the sky.
If you are familiar with Galen, you will find that the curved curvature of the corners of this stone statue's mouth, as well as its face, are seven or eight points similar to Galen, and even the stone armor on the body and the big sword held upside down in both hands also have the appearance of Galen's exhilarating armor and the storm giant sword in his hand, but the two curved wings, broad forehead and thick tail of the stone statue are very similar to the appearance of Galio.
This huge stone statue that appeared in front of many void monsters out of thin air exuded a soft white light all over its body, holy and majestic.
For a moment, many void monsters did not dare to act rashly.
Finally, two slightly more daring centipede monsters, taking advantage of their huge size, twisted their bodies and slowly approached the soles of the feet of the giant statue's base.
They stretched out several limbs and tried to touch the base of the statue.
The moment the claws of the Void Centipede Monster made contact with the statue's body, the statue seemed to be activated, its eyes flashed red light, and the giant sword in its hand became more and more incandescent.
In an instant, a lightning-like beam of light shot from the statue's eyes to the surroundings, the flashing light on the giant sword from the tip of the sword into the ground, with this statue as the center of the surrounding earth began to rise layer upon layer, the ground appeared countless cracks, one by one the void monsters fell into the ground cracks, the body was stuck and unable to move, at this time, the lightning beam in the sky also shot around, and the continuous explosion sound was connected with the miserable cries of the void monsters, Within a kilometer of the statue's surroundings, it instantly became the Asura Hell.
The remaining void monsters frightened by such a sight did not dare to come any closer, and retreated one after another.
At this time, an extremely powerful consciousness wave came from the sky and wrapped it fiercely towards the head of the statue, and at the moment when it just wrapped the head of the statue, the red light in the statue's eyes flashed again, and the consciousness wave that came from the sky snorted, as if it had suffered a big loss, and then quickly dispersed and left the area, and the red light in the statue's eyes also dimmed a lot.
"Hmph, there are still some means of self-defense, but it's just a stone statue without a soul, even if it already has the ability of a demigod, it can't be used independently, so it's not a matter of concern."
"Brave clansmen, today's goal has been destroyed, when the second batch of reinforcements arrives, start your flesh and blood feast, now, retreat for the time being."
This wave of consciousness branched out and passed on to the army of hundreds of thousands of void monsters. After receiving the order, the groups of Void monsters slowly converged like black water at low tide and retreated in the direction of Etistan .
Early morning of April 16, 2837 in the Valoran calendar.
After being knocked unconscious by Galen, Poppy was woken up by Kestin who was injected with a war college sedative.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a tent in a barracks, and it seemed that this was not a super-ramparted tent, but her warhammer was standing next to the bed.
Rubbing her neck, Bobby struggled to remember what had happened last before she fell unconscious.
"Huh?? Is it General Galen?? He hit me, and at that distance, the only one who could knock me unconscious with one blow could have been. But why did he do that? ”
Poppy picked up the hammer and shook her head, a little puzzled, she decided to go out and have a look, and be sure to find the general in person and ask why.
After walking out of the camp, Poppy found that it was an unusually chaotic place, people shouted and horses roared, everyone came and went in panic, although the soldiers were all wearing Demacia's military uniforms, but they all looked dusty, and the soldiers of this unit Poppy felt very strange, they looked like the remnants of the defeated army that had just been defeated from the front.
Why are they all miserable, I remember that although the super barrier was in a tragic situation, even the reserves under the city were not so untidy.
By the way, super ramparts, Poppy looked up, surrounded by an empty plain.
When a soldier happened to run past her, Poppy grabbed him.
"Hey, where is this?? What are you all doing in such a hurry? ”
The Demacian soldier, who was pulled by the waist, began to get angry, he was completing the emergency garrison task assigned by his superiors, and it was said that domestic reinforcements were about to arrive here today. However, after seeing that it was a cute little girl like Bobby who grabbed him, the anger in his heart subsided for a while.
"This is the Kara Plain, and behind us is the second line of defense of Demacia, the "Fence Fortress", also known as the "Great Fence", which is under construction, and in the center of it, a super teleportation array in Valoran is being built. Yesterday we received an order from the Superramour General Galen to immediately build a garrison area here for the arriving reinforcements. ”
Poppy was surprised to hear the soldier's answer. Aren't reinforcements supposed to go straight to the Super Barrier? Why come to the second line of defense, which has not yet been built?
And, how did I get here?
Seeing that Poppy was stunned, the busy soldier did not continue to say more, and turned around to continue carrying the wood to work.
"This little brother, wait a minute, I still want to ask. You said that the order of General Galen came from the super barrier, so do you know which officer came to convey it? ”
"Oh, I've heard from our squad leader, and the person who came to deliver the order was a commander of the general's guard, and now the chief of our second line of defense is accompanying them to inspect the camp and defenses that are being rushed." As he spoke, the soldier gestured to the distance, where there was a faint appearance of a city under construction.
"Okay, thank you, little brother."
Poppy followed the soldier's instructions, following what he called the second line of defense, the "fenced fortress."
"Lord Lux, Lord Shadow, Lord Castin, as you can see, the large fence we have built here is an ancient relic civilization, and we have made changes on the basis of the walls of this ancient city, and its actual area is close to the size of five ordinary federal cities, forming a complete circular defensive fortress. It was also located just in the middle of the three main roads leading to the Imperial City of Demacia, and if the Void Forces were to attack our interior or even our Imperial City, the Great Fence would be a steel line of defense that they would not be able to bypass. In addition, in the center of the Great Fence, we have built a super teleportation array of the War College, which can be continuously opened if resources allow, and communicate with the movement of various federations, which may be the key point for us to counterattack from defense in the later stage. ”
This group, led by the Overseers of the Great Fence, was observing the magnificent Fenced City. Many of the original walls of the ancient ruins have been weathered and soft, and many huge steel plates have been installed on the weathered outer walls of the ancient ruins, so that, from a distance, this prototype giant city is like a steel city welded by many huge steel plates, and it is difficult to call it a "big fence".
"Stop, who are you? You can't get close here!! ”
"Get out of the way, I know all the people inside, I'm going to find them!!"
"If you dare to trespass again, don't blame us for being rude."
At this time, below the group of people, there was the sound of the soldiers stationed arguing and the sound of swords unsheathed.
Lux and Shadowsy seemed to hear the trespasser's voice, and they looked at each other before walking behind them. The Overseer, who was accompanied by him, trotted after the two, and the three of them reached the steps of the wall almost together.
"Stop!"
Seeing that his soldiers had drawn their swords, the Overseer hurriedly gave the order.
Poppy put away the hammer as well, but when she saw Lux and Shadow, a hint of anger crossed her face. She crossed the dozens of steps in a few steps and came to the front of the two.
Poppy looked at Lux with an unkind look, and Lux was confused, and Poppy swept her eyes back to Shadowse, who seemed to be a little dodgy. Immediately grabbed by Poppy.
"Say!! What about the general?? Why am I here? Why aren't you by the side of the general!! ”
Seeing Poppy in such a state, Lux hurriedly stepped forward as if to dissuade him. But Bobbi shouted as she reached out and pointed at her nose.
"Get out of the way! I didn't ask you!! ”
"Poppy-sama...... General, General, he asked me to inform all the reserve soldiers and wounded units to collectively evacuate the super-ramparts and retreat to the second line of defense. ”
Poppy stared closely into Kage's eyes, and after a moment of careful observation, she shouted "You're lying!!" What else are you hiding, tell me!! Otherwise, Hugh blames me for being unkind! ”
Poppy's aggressive attitude angered Lux, who had been the captain of the guard beside her brother Galen for more than eight years, and was equivalent to half of their own family to the crown guard family, and Poppy was so tough that he was slapping her and their family in the face.
"Lord Bobby, please be aware of your identity! Don't think that if my brother protects you, you can do whatever you want!! This is not a place where you can go wild! Brother Yingsu is holding my brother's seal and warrant to convey the military order, what right do you have to question!! Let go of your hands, or else don't blame me for being rude to you!! Guardsman!! ”
Seeing that things were about to get into trouble, Estine, who had been observing from the outside, sighed lightly and was about to walk over and say something, but what she didn't expect was that Shadow fell to her knees first, and tears began to flow down her face.
"Miss! I'm sorry!! Lord Bobbi is right, Shadow, there is indeed something hidden, yesterday, after the general gave the order for the whole army to retreat, he prepared all the soldiers of the Dreadnought Pioneer Legion and lined up outside the school grounds, and they said, said, said that they would fight to the death under the Super Barrier City. ”
"No, no, it's impossible. I recognize my brother's handwriting, and he, his warrant says that after we retreat, he will lead his army back to the second line of defense in the early hours of this morning, and join us. Impossible......"
Lux's face turned pale in an instant, and she covered her chest with her hands and began to retreat step by step.
"I'm sorry, Miss!! Big, the general he, he strictly ordered his subordinates, can't say ......"
Shadow was already crying so much that the corners of her eyes cracked, and traces of blood and tears flowed down her cheeks.
"You bastard!!"
Poppy kicked Shadow in the chest, sliding him backwards for several meters. Then, with the sledgehammer on his shoulder, Poppy turned and jumped off the walls of the great fence, took a horse before the stake, pulled it out and galloped away.
The direction is the super barrier where due south is located.
"Poppy-sama, don't~~~"
The blood-spitting Shadow held his body, held the city, and stretched out his right hand, but he couldn't stop anything at all, and could only watch a burst of dust fade away with the sound of horses' hooves.
At this moment, another figure beside him jumped off the city, untied another warhorse, and followed in the direction of Bobby.
"Miss!!"
Just as Shadow was holding her body and preparing to leap down.
Kestin, who was unusually calm, came to Shadow's side at some point, and quickly pressed several acupuncture points on his body, causing Shadowsu to lean against the city wall and pass out.
"Excuse me, Lord Overseer, prepare a cavalry of about 5,000 for me, and I'll go and get Lord Lux and Lord Bobbi back from the front. Also, I expect reinforcements from the War College and Demacia to arrive today, so please settle your camp as soon as possible in case there is chaos. ”
"Oh, oh, okay, okay!! Master Castin, I'll do it right away as you tell me. Guard, take my token, you accompany Lord Kestin, and immediately go to the barracks to transfer two cavalry units. I'm going to the camp to keep an eye on the progress of the construction. ”
The Overseers, who were so frightened by the bigwigs today, were eager to get out of here, and hurriedly pushed the matter of accompanying the bigwigs to their henchmen, and avoided them themselves.
