Chapter 52: The Storm II.

"Altar?"

The surrounding warriors had apparently heard Darius's exclamations, and De Mences watched intently at the movements of the lizardmen in the distance, and the veteran warriors who had been fighting with these brutes for countless days and nights quickly saw the clues.

"I'm afraid you're right, Captain."

Countless logs stuck straight into the dark and corroded earth, the lizardmen without tools and instruments began to build the magnificent altar in the most primitive way, and the huge stones were carried by the lizardmen, which reminded Darius of the ancient Egyptians who built the pyramids, and also built incredible engineering miracles in a human way, and there are too many similarities between the two. Judging by the scale of the current foundation, the altar built by the lizardmen was much larger than the last time Darius had seen it.

There was a hint of uneasiness in Deemmons' eyes, the lizardman's never-before-seen behavior made him feel that things were going in a place he didn't expect, and he subconsciously put his hand on the battlements of the city wall, as if this strong and heavy rock would bring him a trace of comfort: "It's not good, these beasts' actions are getting more and more unexpected this year." ”

Darius was also very jealous of these enemies, and although he had not directly faced the caster, even the terrifying Feathered Serpent had died in the crowd tactics of the Lizardman Priests and Lizardmen Warriors, and the combat power of these priests was evident. He asked in a deep voice, "Are we just going to let them do whatever they want right under our noses?" ”

"Captain, this is not something we can decide, if we leave the guard of the fortress, the legionnaires will not be able to fight against so many enemies, how to face this situation, let General Lesser and the other adults worry about it."

Will it be handed over to the generals and other adults? Although Darius didn't like the feeling of leaving his fate in the hands of someone else, he knew that this was the reality and the rules, and that he was just a low-level officer, even though he now knew that this altar would pose a great threat to the fortress, but his status and ability limited his ability to deal with it.

It seems that we can only wait for the order of the peak, and I don't know how the upper echelons of the legion will respond.

"But then again, Demons, why haven't we seen the general and the other adults until now?"

Darius's words made Deemmons stunned, and he thought back to it for a long time, indeed, they hadn't seen any other high-ranking generals of the Legion since returning to the fortress.

"Well, maybe they're all discussing countermeasures in the government affairs department? The general rarely shows up in normal times. ”

Darius walked up to Demmons, he looked to the left and right seemingly carelessly, and the corner of his eye swept to all corners of the city wall, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this, he whispered: "De Mons, this is so strange, do you remember what Lord Bard said?" ”

"Lord Budd?"

"Yes, when he introduced us to our defense zone, he said that the defense operation would be under the overall responsibility of the military chief, Lord Eugen, but have you ever met Lord Eugen?"

Darius had had this for a long time, and it stands to reason that the leader of the Legion, Lesser, had to go up to the city walls to inspect the defense line and boost the morale of the soldiers, but until now, he had not seen the general. Bard told them that Eugen was in command of the defense, which was fine, after all, the chief of military was also the number two man in the legion, but strangely, even Eugen never appeared, and the second detachment had only been in contact with the herald and the logistics personnel so far.

"Lord Eugen?" De Mons shook his head vigorously, "Captain, don't worry too much, maybe it's to deal with the menacing enemy that they are too busy to see their figures?" Which of the generals and other adults didn't climb to a high position in the sea of corpses and blood? I know what you're worried about, but I can assure you that it's absolutely impossible. ”

De Mons is right, the garrison is not a central army, and the power here is not worth mentioning, so there are no high-ranking officials here, all the high-level officials rely on their own hands to win a sword.

"Perhaps." Darius remembered the cavalry captain Tassos he met when he came back, his indomitable bravery impressed Darius was extremely impressive, it should be that he was too careful, many sensitive things before the war were easy to cause anxiety, think about it, although the Black Flame Priest is powerful, but the high-level members of the legion are not vegetarians.

………………

Pale points of light lingered in the air, a huge number of runes and magic circles were engraved on the solid and cold ground, the faint arcane light brought some light to the dark basement, and the girl in the silk robe stretched out her slightly pale left hand, firmly and quickly carved an obscure rune on the ground. In an instant, the huge magic circle suddenly lit up, and quickly fell silent.

Then the maiden stood up, and looked up at the east, where there were only cold rocks and inky darkness, but her gaze seemed to have crossed the thick rock barrier from this deep and quiet underground, and came into the sun, above the mountains.

"Do you feel it? That dark and majestic mana, with the breath of destruction and death, is it coming? ”

The crisp and coquettish voice echoed in the dark and empty basement, and the sculptural figure on the side moved slightly, and then nodded imperceptibly, "That's right, the Black Flame Priest of the Mountain Calamity, there is no one among the lizardmen who can have such power except for it." ”

"Its power is stronger than three years ago, if it weren't for the enemy standing on the opposite side, I can't help but admire it, without systematic education and inheritance, just relying on the broken memories left by the soul of the ancestors, it can grow to this point, it has already touched the threshold of the golden realm, how many spellcasters dream of the realm, but it was first reached by a wild alien race."

"So will your plan succeed? In my opinion, this is just too risky, Secassius. ”

Secastius let out a low chuckle, and the laughter was full of hearty meaning, "Orthea, you have been in the Legion for more than seven months, don't you have a clear understanding of what kind of person General Lesser is?" ”

"Taking a risk is not something that is unacceptable, you need to see the benefits of taking the risk, and whether it is worth it to go again, obviously in the eyes of our generals, it is completely worth trying."

"You're soldiers, not gamblers."

Orthea's face was hard to see in the dark, but the tone in which she said those two words made Secassius know that her words didn't work.

"Oh, it seems that my dear little Althea does not approve of General Lesser's approach, but I still want to tell you that a soldier is a gambler in a sense."

Secastius walked around the huge circle, and he looked at the results of his and Althea's busy time with satisfaction, "We are gamblers on the tip of the knife, the stake is our soul, status, power, power, if you want to get all this quickly, you need to take your most precious things to win." The loser does not have the opportunity to complain about all this, while the victor will always remember and enjoy this sweet feeling. ”

The girl followed Secassius closely, and there was an imperceptible frenzy in his voice, which surprised Althea, who was accustomed to seeing his calm and calm side: "Yes, but no one can win all the time. ”

Secassius shook his head: "Yes, there is only one way to never lose, and that is not to go to the table." But whether it's a general, or a Tassos, or even me, we will never tolerate our own mediocrity, so we will definitely get involved. ”

"You're changing concepts, and that doesn't change the fact that you're playing with fire, have you ever thought about the consequences of failure? Lesser's bet wasn't his own life, he weighed on you, Eugen, Thasos, and all of them. ”

Secassius stopped, he turned to look at the girl who had been by his side for months, "The legion is the legion of Noxus, and the legion is also the legion of the general, we have followed the general for so many years, and the will of the general is our mission. ”

"Let's continue, the Black Flame Priest has arrived, and there is not much time left for us."
