Chapter 12: The Battle of the Nine Kingdoms

When everything was still, the stone gate began to rise slowly, and Lin Liao guarded the short sword to his chest, staring intently at the space behind the door that was gradually revealed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was no monster suddenly popping out to be scary, Lin Liao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked carefully, and found that behind the door was a small square stone room, a fire was burning in the center of the stone room, and there was a water tank embedded in the stone wall opposite, and there were water droplets dripping from the mouth of a face relief above the tank.

Seeing that there was no danger, Lin Liao walked in with a short sword, and when he approached the fire, he felt a strange warmth, and the whole person couldn't help but relax completely.

"I didn't think there were still living dead here, and I thought that apart from me, there were only wandering spirits left here." Lin Liao just wanted to sit down and roast the fire, but suddenly someone in the corner on the side started talking.

"Who?" Lin Liao's whole body was full of excitement, and the nerves that had just relaxed immediately tensed again, and his eyes looked at the place where the voice came from vigilantly.

"Don't be nervous, my name is Hesai, and I'm a living dead like you, so it may be a kind of fate that we can meet here." The afterglow of the fire could only reach a small part of the corner, and Lin Liao saw that there was a shadow that seemed to be sitting curled up there, but now he got up and walked out of the darkness while talking.

This is a pale blonde young man, about twenty years old, wearing the same style of clothes as Lin Liao, but his expression and tone of voice are extremely cold, as if he does not have any feelings, which makes people feel that it is not easy to get close.

Looking at the appearance, this person has absolutely no Chinese ancestry, and he doesn't have any ID on his head, Lin Liao immediately ruled out the possibility that he is a player, and the other party is obviously not hostile, so if nothing else, it should be another NPC.

"Hello, friend, my name is Yiye Piaoling, I haven't been here for a long time, what is this place?" Lin Liao tried to talk.

"A leaf is drifting! Strange name, this is the Tomb of the Living Dead, you don't even know this so how did you get here? He sat down lazily by the fire, stretched out his hands and looked at Lin Liao while roasting the fire, and asked suspiciously.

Lin Liao put away the short sword, sat down like the other party, and said briefly about the future here, the young man suddenly realized, and said with joy on his face for the first time: "So, you are the legendary heir?" The prophet's words were indeed correct, and the diaspora of the Nine Kingdoms finally had hope this time. ”

"Prophet? Nine Kingdoms? Diaspora? Lin Liao felt that there was a lot of information in it, and he had to ask this person clearly, "I have just arrived here, and I don't know anything about the situation here, can Brother He explain a few doubts for me." ”

"You don't ask me, the Prophet's purpose in keeping me here is to show you inheritors a clear path, so that you don't die inexplicably in this frontier land and become a new wanderer here.

You may have heard from the temple keepers that this ancient continent was once occupied and ruled by nine countries.

In fact, this was originally just a wild land, until the nine races migrated here, and after a long struggle with nature and countless demon beasts and poisonous insects, it was finally established.

Due to the fan-shaped shape of the entire continent, the king of the nine kingdoms decided to divide the continent into nine regions from the inside to the outside, each ruled by a country, and the countries were separated by a high wall.

With such strict protection, the people of the Nine Kingdoms have been living a peaceful and peaceful life for thousands of years, until one day, the king of the Dragon Scale Country, located at the innermost end of the continent, suddenly sent an invitation to the other eight kings, inviting them to Longhui City, the capital of the Dragon Scale Country, to participate in a major event.

At that time, the Dragon Scale King had a very high prestige among the Nine Kingdoms, and he was also an elder full of wisdom, and the other eight kings set off almost immediately after receiving the invitation, and they had already gathered in Longhui City in less than a month.

No one knows what the Nine Kings discussed after they met, but they finally entered the Sunset Mountain behind Longhui City without any guards, and never came out again.

A month later, the minister of the Dragon Scale Country, who felt that the situation did not seem to be right, finally could no longer hold back his anxiety, and sent the most elite Dragon Scale Knights in the country into the mountains to find the Nine Kings, but what was surprising was that the Dragon Scale Knights, known as the 'Sky Knights', were also lost in the sea after entering, and no one was seen alive or dead, and there was no news from them.

Soon the other people of the Eight Kingdoms also learned the news of the king's disappearance, and they all asked the Dragon Scale Country to give an explanation, otherwise they would unite to fight against it.

Just when the Dragon Scale Country was feeling anxious and in danger of overthrowing the country, suddenly without warning from the Sunset Mountain, a huge and formidable black army appeared.

The knights in this army are all dressed in black armor, the masks on the helmets are low, making it impossible to recognize their appearance, and what is even more terrifying is that they are also followed by many unknown terrifying demon beasts, and the knights of the Dragon Scale Country have suffered heavy losses as soon as they fight with them, and they are almost overwhelmed.

Soon, Longhui City fell into the hands of the Dark Legion, but they were not satisfied with this, and continued to sweep through the other strongholds of the Dragon Scale Nation almost without stopping, and soon the entire country fell.

Forced to helplessly, the civilians and remnants of the soldiers of the Dragon Scale Country fled into the neighboring Poison Horn Country, but when designing the city wall, the main thing was external defense, and they didn't expect that the enemy would come from behind, and they couldn't resist the invasion of the Dark Knights at all, and the second country was swallowed up.

The undead country, which was ranked third, saw that the opportunity was not good, and did not resist at all knowing that it was invincible, and at the same time the whole country fled, it summoned the provisional rulers of the other six countries to discuss countermeasures.

In the end, the Seven Kingdoms reached a consensus and unanimously decided to put the last line of defense on the wall between the Eighth Barbarian State and the Ninth Hussar State, and at the same time, in order to build the fortifications, the Seven Nations would use a small number of troops on the other walls to snipe to ensure that the coalition army made all the necessary preparations before the final decisive battle, and if this battle was lost again, the people of the Nine Kingdoms would have to flee into the flood again and retreat to the precarious years. ”
