Chapter 137: The Ultimate Battle (I)
The entire continent of Trentu looks like an upside-down "concave", except that there is a huge island in the middle of the "concave", and there are many scattered islands floating in the sea in the southernmost part. As for the Xiao Empire, it is located in the southeast corner of the lower right corner of the inverted word "concave", although it is surrounded by the sea on both sides, but due to the obstruction of the Four Holy Mountains, human beings naturally cannot see the appearance of the ocean in the empire.
Although the Rangers had brought back information about the sea, how could anyone who had not seen it with their own eyes believe that there was such a huge "lake" that could not be seen at a glance? Therefore, the vast majority of the upper echelons of the empire did not believe in the existence of "sea", and people at the bottom like Kenneth had never heard of the term "sea".
And now, Kenneth saw the ocean, which seemed to be bigger than a continent, and the human empire, which was pitifully small compared to the entire continent. The impact this had on Kenneth was unprecedented, and he felt that his horizons had suddenly broadened, and his original worldview had been completely overturned.
And Seid, who was standing next to Kenneth, showed a faint sad look in his eyes, isn't it a helpless move for the once glorious human race to fall here? And on the way to cover the retreat of the human race, I am afraid that only he and the four dragons know how much the human race has paid for it.
Kenneth didn't have much emotion in his heart, but simply felt that the empire was too small, and the thought of so many humans being crowded into such a small piece of land made Kenneth feel that it was difficult to breathe for no reason, and he couldn't help but pull the collar on his chest.
"Little ghost, what's wrong with you?" Said asked loudly with one hand on Kenneth's shoulder.
Kenneth scratched his ears, didn't say anything on the face of this good guy who was once a hero, pointed to the location of the Xio Empire, and said honestly: "Here, it's too small. ”
Seid's eyes lit up when he heard Kenneth's answer, and he suddenly burst into a burst of laughter, patted Kenneth on the back and said, "Roar, that's right, you're not wrong at all, it's too small here!" ”
Kenneth felt that his spiritual body was about to be scattered by Said, so he hurriedly stopped Said's hand and wondered, "Uncle, what are you so happy about?" ”
"Little ghost, what do you think a hero is?" Said stopped laughing and looked at Kenneth with a look of intriguing eyes, but he asked a question that didn't matter.
Kenneth touched his head, pondered for a long time, and then spread his hands and said, "I have never thought about this kind of problem......
"Uh......" Said didn't expect Kenneth to be so honest, so he raised an eyebrow and said, "Then why do you want to be a hero?" ”
This time, Kenneth's answer was very decisive: "Because it's very handsome!" ”
"......" Said blinked, the former hero leader didn't know what to say for the first time, his eyes couldn't help but show disappointment, and his voice was a little colder, "That's why you want to be a hero?" ”
Kenneth didn't feel anything wrong with his answer, and looked directly at Said and nodded reasonably, "That's right, that's it." ”
Said shook his head in disappointment, "It's too superficial, little ghost, it seems that your experience is not enough for you to be a qualified hero." ”
"Then why does Uncle want to be a hero?" Kenneth shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, and asked Said curiously.
With a look of determination on his face, Said said categorically: "Because I want to create a world for humanity where 'even the weak can live'!" To do this, I must become a hero and sweep away all demons and subhumans! ”
Kenneth was shocked, he didn't expect Seid's wish to be so grand, especially the sentence "Even the weak can live" brought Kenneth a great touch, in comparison, his motivation to become a hero was too small, which made Kenneth blush.
It's just that Kenneth remembered something, so he frowned and said, "However, if a strong human oppresses a weak human being, then what will you do, uncle?" ”
Seid was stunned, he didn't expect Kenneth to ask such a question, but this was something Seid didn't think about, after all, five hundred years ago, human beings lived in the shadow of demons, powerful human beings were all organized into the four major legions, and weak human beings sat in the rear to provide support, united to defend against foreign enemies, how could there be internal oppression? Whatever the facts, at least that's what Syd thinks, so Syd frowned and asked, "Is this really going to happen?" ”
Kenneth remembered what had happened to Brandon and Robb, the Marquis's son, and nodded without hesitation, "Of course." ”
It's just that Said's eyes instantly regained his decisiveness, and he said seriously: "Then of course I will protect the weak side." ”
Kenneth was glad that he was thinking the same as Said, and continued to ask, "How will you protect them, uncle?" ”
It's just that Kenneth's question seems to have stumped the great hero in front of him, after all, they are both humans, and Syd can't kill them directly. Seid was silent for a long time, but found that he couldn't think of a perfect way, so he could only say to Kenneth: "I will make rules for them so that the strong cannot oppress the weak." ”
"But uncle, you don't, the current rules are all made by the strong, so what should the weak do?" Kenneth asked with a look of dissatisfaction as he thought of what Auston had said to him.
"In that case......" Said was speechless, but his eyes lit up when he saw Kenneth with a disgruntled face, "Isn't there still you?" Wouldn't you just do for me what I didn't do? ”
Kenneth froze, pointed to himself and asked, "Me?" ”
Said laughed and patted Kenneth on the back, "Roar, aren't you a pretty good little ghost!" That's right, that's you, that's why you're a hero! Five hundred years ago, I failed to defeat the Demon King, forcing humans to migrate here. In the same way, I didn't make just rules for humans to oppress each other. Then I'll leave these questions to you now, do you dare to take them? ”
Kenneth only felt as if a fire was burning in his chest, without any scruples or doubts, and as soon as Said's words fell, he replied loudly: "Why don't you dare?!" ”
"Very good eyes! Roar, it seems that Hephaestus's vision is not bad! What's your name, little ghost? Said asked loudly with a pat on Kenneth's back.
"Kenneth, Kenneth Lancelot!" Kenneth straightened up and replied equally loudly.
"Hohaha, Kenneth, I admit that you have the right to inherit the name of a hero! It's time to give you a taste of the enemies you're up against! Don't be intimidated! ”
Kenneth was about to dismiss Said's words, but he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him, and felt his legs slightly weak again.
I saw that under the dim and oppressive sky, a giant who covered the stars sat on a throne made of thousands of feet of high mountains, with a pair of huge horns on his head, his whole body was pitch black, and his body was wrapped with a black mist that could not be dissipated, making it impossible to see his true face, only a pair of scarlet pupils shone with a cold light in the black mist. Although it was only an illusion, the heavy power on his body was in no way inferior to that of the dragon, and it was even better.
Such an existence can only make Kenneth think of one possibility, that is, the Demon King who reigns over the entire Trentu Continent.
And under the throne, there are dense demons, led by the four demon dukes divided into four legions, although all the demons are far superior to human physiques, especially the four demon dukes, more like four hills. However, compared to the Demon King's desperate size, the Four Dukes were only up to the Demon King's knees, which was nothing to mention.
On the other side of the throne, there are humans who have no end in sight like the tide of the sea, and they have an overwhelming numerical advantage over the demon legions. Humanity is also divided into four legions, each of which stands tall in front of a dragon larger than the Demon Duke, and on their shoulders stand the four heroes of the legend!
One of the dragons stood slightly forward, and the crimson scales of his body dazzled Kenneth like burning flames, which was naturally Hephaestus at that time, and the red-armored man standing on Hephaestus's shoulders was, of course, the leader of mankind, the greatest hero, Syd Theo.
The two sides were tense enough to make the earth tremble with a roar that soared into the sky, as if war would break out in the next moment.
"What the hell is this...... What the? Kenneth and Syd floated in the middle of the battlefield, taking in the entire battlefield, Kenneth shuddered in his heart, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Syd and asked.
Mixed emotions welled up in Seid's eyes, but he finally turned into a sigh and said to Kenneth, "This is the final battle between humans and demons six hundred years ago. ”
"Then he's really the Demon King?" Kenneth looked shocked and pointed to the huge dark shadow that was seated on the mountain.
Said nodded solemnly, looked at the dark shadow's eyes with a look of unwillingness, and said, "That's right, that's the Demon King Fantoccini, the ultimate enemy of mankind." ”
Just as Kenneth was about to ask a question, a dull voice like thunder sounded in everyone's ears, and it turned out to be human: "The ant who has come to Lone by the dragon, bow down in front of Lone." ”
With an incomparable domineering voice and a spiritual attack, if it weren't for the timely use of magic by the Water Dragon Hero, I'm afraid that most of the warriors would have bowed down to the Demon King.
Seid, who was standing on Hephaestus' shoulder, raised the spear in his hand and pointed it directly at the towering demon king, without any fear on his face, and replied loudly: "We have fought hard until now, just to overthrow you and other tyrannicals!" As a demon king, you are our number one enemy, how can you bow down to you and wagging your tail and beg for mercy?! Why talk too much, it's better to have a good fight! ”
"Fight! War! War! As Said's words followed, hundreds of millions of warriors roared in response.
Kenneth frowned and looked at Syd beside him and asked, "Was this how human language was at that time?" ”
Syd glanced at Kenneth, who had noticed, and told him to continue to look quietly.
The Demon King was silent for a moment after hearing Said's response, and his indifferent voice sounded again: "In that case, then, remember Lone's name, the ant named 'Human'. 'Annihilation'. ”
As soon as the words fell, a super-level magic array burning with flames immediately unfolded in the sky, and eleven rings appeared on the magic array and slowly rotated, covering the entire sky above the throne, turning the entire dim sky into a piece of fire, clearly reflected in the pupils of every human being.
