CHAPTER I. War 1

The light gray sky, but instead of dark clouds, it was impregnated with something strange.

The wind gradually rose, blowing the banner of the city to hunt.

A few guards stood at the city gate, their eyes sharply scanning the ordinary people who came in and out, and after years of peace, they didn't worry too much about what accidents would happen.

The captain of the guard stood as straight as a javelin, looking at the west with a straight face, but his lovely daughter was in his mind.

Nothing will happen anyway, since he took office for three years, the most serious thing has been a pack of desert wolves rushing to the city. But he was also blasted into slag by the magician in the city with a fireball technique, and only a few people were injured, which was not comparable to the fire fight of the gangsters in the city.

The rest is just a conflict between the gruff hunters, or a criminal fleeing or something like that.

It is said that this world is becoming more and more dangerous, and there are all kinds of abnormal movements in all directions, and the demon invasion the day before yesterday is even more worrying.

But he's just a third-class trainee warrior, and he can't beat any demon, and those things have little to do with him, so let's let those first-class powerhouses worry.

If you have this leisure, you might as well think about how to make the awkward little ones happy, and maybe it would be more useful to go to the shops and buy some weird knick-knacks.

He remembered that the little guy had fallen in love with a moving bunny doll on his last vacation, but it was too expensive to buy it...... This time it looks like I'm going to have to drink less.

At this moment, a carriage came from the west, and the captain of the guard took a look at it, and immediately understood that it was the convoy of the Hunter's Pride Tavern. Every week, they had to go to another city to buy brewing ingredients, so that the guards had become accustomed to it.

Coupled with the fact that the other party privately honored them from time to time, the relationship between the two parties became more harmonious.

Only this time it was a little strange, the coachman stood up to the carriage with a blank expression, did not greet him as usual, did not have any intention of slowing down, and rushed towards the city gate arrogantly.

He couldn't help but retract his divergent thinking, and waved his hand to stop first: "If you want to find death, stop for me!" ”

Unexpectedly, the other party still did not react, and the carriage hit him straight. Hundreds of people near the city gate saw this scene and shouted and dodged, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.

"Damn it!" With a low roar, he drew his sword and lunged forward, slashing his broadsword into the horse's legs.

Hiss again and again~

The cart horse screamed, his left front leg was directly cut off, and he immediately fell to his knees on the ground after being hit by this heavy blow, and was carried forward by the carriage for more than ten meters under inertia, setting off a puff of smoke and dust.

"What's going on, what's going on?" One bystander after another exclaimed.

This is the city gate, even those powerful first-level professionals don't dare to do it at will, just an ordinary carriage is so rampant, who gave him the guts?

"Bastard, I'm going to put you in a dungeon, and no one wants to save you!"

The captain of the guard strode over to the coachman who had fallen to the ground, and reached out to pull him up, but as soon as he touched the other man's clothes, he felt bad, because the place where he was in his hands was slippery and cold, not at all human!

"What's that?" He realized that something was wrong and hurriedly let go and evacuated.

But it was too late, and the coachman staggered to his feet, and the skin on his face fell as if wax had melted under his horrified gaze.

His skin and clothes had turned into a strange gray-white liquid, and in the blink of an eye, all that was left of his body was blackened bones and a large mass of gray that was hidden among the bones.

Airplanes~

The mass exploded, forming a "dark cloud", which spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

After the dark clouds flew in front of them, the guards realized that these black smoke-like things turned out to be black flying insects, only the size of a quill, and they couldn't be seen clearly from a distance.

Countless small insects surrounded him and quickly burrowed into his skin, making him lose control of his body in the blink of an eye, and the figure of a cute little guy flashed in his mind, and his consciousness fell into darkness and lost his life.

One by one, small insects came out of his body again, and the strong body of the captain of the guard, like the previous coachman, melted into a strange liquid, and hatched more small insects, forming a terrifying insect tide that gradually covered the entire West City Gate!

"Help!"

"There's bugs, bugs have gotten into me!"

"Ahh......h

The crowd that had been watching the excitement screamed one after another, and after being swept away by the swarm, they fell to the ground one by one, some of them melted into liquid and became food for the strange swarm, and the other part got up from the ground tremblingly and turned into terrifying monsters.

These monsters are similar, but not identical, to zombies, as they don't have undead powers, they're just marionettes.

The swarm is called the Golem Flying Ant, a terrifying bug that can manipulate the nerves of its prey and turn it into a puppet - and the beginning of the undead scourge!

………………

In the temple, which is more than 1,000 meters away from the city gate, the holy light envelops the golden temple, and the chant of nothingness echoes in the huge temple, and the atmosphere of peace and tranquility flows, making the believers in the temple pray more attentively.

In a secret room in the temple, where no one was allowed to enter, a middle-aged priest and a young girl knelt on a futon, their eyes closed.

The middle-aged priest exuded a faint white glow, and a pair of white wings faintly appeared behind her. Her face was calm, and she whispered to the girl beside her:

"Erin, don't be in a hurry, close your eyes and feel the will of my lord with your heart. With the bright constitution bestowed by our Lord, your future is destined to be smooth. But we must not be impatient, for our Lord warns us to guard against arrogance and rashness. ”

Su Xi had nothing to gain, and couldn't help but secretly open his eyes, and after seeing the phantom behind the other party, he remembered the angel girl he had seen once, and his originally impatient mood instantly calmed down.

As if sensing something, she closed her eyes and looked more and more religious, and a faint white light also appeared on her body.

Not only that, but the angel wings that emerged behind her were far clearer than the other, and there was a calming ode to the void, and bits of golden light sprinkled above her.

The girl descended like an angel to the world, and the noble and holy aura caused the statues in the temple to appear brightly.

"The Light is above!"

"This is a sign of divine grace, your talent is too strong, the first formal practice attracted a trace of my lord's attention, and he descended divine grace."

When the middle-aged priest opened his eyes and saw this, his eyes widened in surprise, and then he took a long breath several times to calm his beating heart.

"What is Divine Grace?" Su Xi asked curiously, and the angel phantom behind him slowly dissipated.

When the other party was about to answer, suddenly a huge bell rang from the east.

When~when~when~

The bell rang from the City Lord's Mansion and spread to every corner of the city, and the middle-aged priest froze in place and muttered, "The war has begun!" ”
