Chapter 79: The Bell of the New Century
"When ——!"
Just as Anderson saluted his allegiance, the golden bell of Vulture City, which originally belonged to the Dwarven Kingdom, rang.
The ruins of the vagrants for so many years have not heard this loud bell, because this bell represents the supreme will of the Brotherhood of Bitter Springs, and has only been forcibly rang by the Great Khan of the Brotherhood himself under the magic of all the elders since ancient times.
For the first time, the Brotherhood captured the Dwarven Fortress that had been overrun by the Nezumi warlords and decided to take refuge here, giving it a real place to stay for the first time. Van Cliff, the first Great Khan [Heavenly Soul Stonemason] who swore an oath in Vulture City, did not know the horror of the dwarven bell, and while ringing the bell to warn the enemies of the whole continent of his existence, the life energy in his body was completely drained by the dwarven bell [Hate Legend].
The four empires, the eight sects, the trolls and forest horrors of the forest, the Vostonian polar warbands of the Northlands, the iron wolves of the ice fields, and even the savage warriors heard the sound of the chirping and the roar of Van Cleeff who was holding back his life.
"The Brotherhood of Bitter Springs, hereby swears that the red vultures that stand forever in the ruins. We are friends with every dinar (common currency) and the best tools of murder for every one of my customers, but our lives are our own. Bitter Spring Brotherhood, fight for freedom!"
The roar spread across the continent with all its might, and Van Cleef's bloodied corpse fell straight from the towering Golden Bell Tower, just as the Brotherhood had risen from the continent that day.
The second time it sounded was when the Brotherhood completely cleared the ruins of all the orc raiders and nezumi warlords, and occupied the entire ruins that were still standing on their own.
The fifty-second Great Khan, Barbara Karlock, with the blessing of all the magicians of the entire Brotherhood, climbed the bell that had not been visited for hundreds of years.
When the bell rang, this dwarf made the loudest and most intimidating voice on the entire continent, and it became the battle cry of all the Brotherhood branches and skirmishers on the entire continent.
"The ruins belong to the Brotherhood!"
"The mainland belongs to the Brotherhood!"
"Glory to the Brotherhood!"
Both times symbolized the full will of the largest collection of black merchants and privateer warbands on the mainland, and even the four kingdoms had to listen carefully, although they were not afraid that these armed guards were much worse than their own personal guards, and it was basically impossible to start a frontal battle. But the most terrifying thing is these pervasive rats, every dark alley, every sewer hole, a quenched dagger, a ferocious crossbow arrow are all the horrors of the Brotherhood.
Exactly 500 years have passed, and this big bell that can make the whole continent hear the declaration of the ringing person has been ringing leisurely.
Beneath the bell, Saruman's long beard fluttering, and the eyes of countless mages behind him flashed with arcane light, and all the elder mages did their best to channel their power into Camille, who was trying to ring the bell, to ensure that this ambitious mortal would not die of exhaustion when he rang the dwarven king's bell.
Despite this, under the protection of such a huge magical power, the resolute new Great Khan only had three minutes, otherwise no one would have been able to save his ambitious life.
"When ——!"
The bell rang three times, resounding throughout the continent, and everyone heard Camille's calm and resolute declaration as if in their ears.
At this time, Camille was wearing the rune armor [vulture armor] of the Great Khan inherited from generation to generation of the Brotherhood, the blood-red vulture skull floated above the shoulder armor with the power of the runes, and the piercing spiked breastplate and wide cloak symbolized that the Brotherhood was not only bowing down in the shadows, but also standing in the sun and raising his arms, he was now the real lord of the dark side of the continent, and the supreme king who could also give orders in the light.
"We are the Brotherhood, we are the blades on the throne, we are the poisoned arrows in the shadows, we are the kings of the night."
"In the corner of the continent, that is our territory, here are the ruins, the land that all you cowards living in the light are unwilling to set foot in, the final base from which we can accumulate strength and conquer the continent."
"But!" Although the layers of magic shields on his body rippled and vibrated to resist the terrifying pressure of the metal wind attached to the dimensional stone bell, and the rune armor carved with this mysterious and powerful rune on his body to help him share, it still made Camille feel burned inside, and his whole body seemed to be crushed in an incomparably heavy metal storm.
"From today until my body lies down, our brotherhood will have a true friend!"
"In the midst of the ruins, the greatest holy place will appear on the entire continent, our friend, the City of Salvation!"
This is the last thing Camille promised the Demon King, which is to help him save everyone like Jack and Celia, all of them in the ruins, or the City of Redemption.
The Demon King wanted to not want anyone to feel the pain and despair he felt when Celia was captured and Jack's hand was cut off again, so he was willing to recapture it all for Camille. He even did not hesitate to burn his soul energy, controlling the body of the demon king to directly shake the demigod "betrayer" Karn.
And in the heart of this young Great Khan, the blonde young leader could never stop here, the entire continent was not his final stop, in his own planning, this man should stand at the apex of the universe, and in a single thought, destroy the heavens and the earth. With a single finger, you can save any planet or continent that is in war and famine.
All he can do now is to do his best to pave the first steps for him.
"The City of Redemption! True salvation in the ruins, every persecuted, will be tested and censored, every innocent soul, the wretched who suffered. Come, all of you, here will give you love and tolerance!"
Forcibly swallowing the blood that flowed to the corners of his mouth, ignoring the crazy gestures of Saruman and others, Camille knew very well that it was almost three minutes, but he was not a person who was willing to give up, many times he could understand Van Cleef's feelings, for this, he had the courage to fight until the last moment.
"Our leader, the eternal friend of the thirty-five million members of the Brotherhood, Max the Savior, will take us to overthrow the darkness of the entire continent under the sun and become the new master of the entire continent, so-"
"Everyone who is willing to be the first citizens and warriors of the new century, come, come to this place that is not perfect but will need you, protect you, and finally fulfill and sublimate your soul!"
Such a declaration exploded like a bomb in every city and every forest, and he succeeded.
Blood spurted out, wetting the ground, and Camille almost staggered down the tower, staring thoughtfully at the clear sky in the distance with Saruman's support.
"It's going to change, Max."
