Chapter 176: The Shadow of Kegistan
Although the parliament and the local professional forces of Kegistan immediately intervened in the incident, it was too late.
The wicked witch who leads the Cult of the True God has cast a powerful illusion spell that has hidden the entire city of Alcanas in the endless sands of the northern wastelands.
According to some of the inhabitants of Alcanas who survived the disaster, it seems that the cultists of the True God are preparing to use their homes as a base to perform a powerful summoning ritual using the remains of the city's inhabitants and victims, but the exact object of the summoning ritual is unknown.
In response to the known information, the local professionals and the council have joined forces to organize several expeditions, but each time they have been misled by the powerful illusion spell - they have never been able to find Alcanas City, as if it had completely disappeared into the endless sea of sand.
In the face of such a serious and vicious incident, Hakan II in the palace of Kartim was finally no longer silent.
He seems to have been forced by the pressure of the people to start taking the matter seriously.
The young king ordered all the legions of the empire to be assembled, and even his own royal guards, asking them to cooperate fully with the council and the professions to relocate and retake Arcanas.
However, due to the fact that the "Cleaner Project" on the Second World Front was in a critical period, the parliament could not spare more strength to support the professionals of Kaigistan, so it could only issue a conscription order, calling on other human kingdoms to come to Kaijistan's aid.
But this time, the response from the other human kingdoms of the Sanctuary World was not positive.
Westmar and Kingshaven have just experienced the Skeletron Incident, and are still recovering.
Almost all of the high-quality fragrant fruit plantations in King's Harbor were destroyed by Skeletron's undead army, and the kingdom was in turmoil.
Wood VI was working on the transformation of the kingdom's system, trying to transform King's Harbor from a purely commercial kingdom to a military kingdom with a strong military force.
Naturally, this kind of transformation will not be smooth sailing, and I don't know how many major aristocratic forces will be touched in the process, so at this juncture, he naturally has no additional strength to help Kejistan.
Although Westmar was less affected by the Skeletron incident, because the growing military power of King's Harbor caused widespread concern in their country, and Westmar was too far away from Kegistan, so this time it was only a symbolic reinforcement of some supplies.
Kurast, who is closest to Kegistan, has not yet recovered himself, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect them to lend a hand, and Rugoin and Kurast are basically in a similar situation, both concentrating on reviving themselves and not having time to help other countries.
The two kingdoms of Harogas and Enstinger are also powerless to help for the time being.
The former himself is short of troops and resources, and he also has to defend the World Stone Fortress, which has been completely defended.
And the latter's national strength is not very strong in the first place, and it is already a little stretched to divide the energy to help Harogas, and it is undoubtedly difficult for a strongman to expect them to cross a continent to help Kegistan.
Needless to say, Uri was in seclusion and did not move, and there seemed to be something wrong with the Howorth Islands, and several contacts with the council were denied.
Only the two professional shrines of Sensai and Tadulla were left to respond to the call of the council, but the number of mages on Sensai was already pitiful, and the druids of Tadulla alone were obviously unable to support themselves.
As a result, Kegistan has not received enough support and assistance.
In the face of this tricky situation, although the people in the parliament and Kegistan are very anxious, but there is nothing they can do, although Kane, who is in the council, has thought of asking for help from the insect swarm under Xue Hua's command, but because Xue Hua cannot be contacted, no one can command the insect swarm at all, so he can only give up.
The people of Kagestan, who had tried all the means but still could not solve their urgent needs, finally had no choice but to adopt a policy of appeasement, and for the time being, they did not care—and could not manage—the fallen Arcanas, but only concentrated all the forces they could concentrate to investigate and clear up the scattered Churches of the True God in other regions, and did their best to prevent the continued spread of the cult.
What the parliament and the people of Kagestan do not know, however, is that what they are doing is essentially appeasement.
As time passes, the shadow that hides behind a series of events in the Kingdom of Kagestan is slowly unraveling its claws......
.......
For everything that happened in the outside world, Xue Hua, who was still in the Treasure City in the spatial rift, naturally didn't know anything about it.
At this moment, he didn't know that the time in this spatial rift was not consistent with the outer universe.
It seems that Xue Hua has only spent one day here, but in fact, more than half a month has passed in the outside world.
He had just led the swarm to kill the armor constructs guarding the Platinum Gate, and was about to push open the Platinum Gate to settle the accounts with the so-called "Greedy Monarch"!
However, the moment Xue Hua pressed his hand on the platinum gate, countless gold coins suddenly gushed out from the top of this palace like a flood that had burst through the dam.
The massive amount of gold coins formed a terrifying torrent of gold in an instant, and with a crisp clanging sound, it directly swept Xue Hua, who was caught off guard!
"it!"
Xue Hua's body was instantly submerged by gold coins, and these once heavy golden cuties have now turned into terrifying killing weapons, wanting to crush Xue Hua and the insect swarm to death below!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xue Hua immediately shook his bone wings, the blue light on his body flashed, and the ghost cell skill was activated instantly, making his body able to pass through the entity.
With the help of this magic skill, he easily escaped from the submersion of the sea of gold coins, and then opened the original prototype and upgraded all the insect swarm troops that had been submerged in the sea of gold coins!
Hiss!!!
A terrifying roar shook the entire palace, and hundreds of huge holes exploded on the surface of the pile of gold coins that had filled most of the room, and the swarms that had been upgraded to elite units poured out of the holes, and one by one returned to Xue Hua's side.
At the same time, the rain of gold coins falling from the top of the palace slowly stopped, and the entire room returned to its original calm.
It's just that the platinum door has been completely buried in a huge amount of gold coins, so many gold coins are piled together, if there is no suitable solution, don't really want to push it open again.
"It's so inhumane... Actually blocked the door with gold coins......"
Xue Hua shook his head speechlessly, dispelled his original form, squatted down, picked up one of the gold coins all over the ground, put it in his mouth, and bit it fiercely-well, it's true!
He smiled bitterly, threw the gold coin into the inventory, and then looked at Brother Kong Fang, who was full of gold, and was stunned......
The weight of a single gold coin is negligible, and thousands of gold coins can be easily moved.
But this is a room full of gold coins......
Even if you use the thunder beast to transport it, you won't be able to transport it for two or three days......
