Chapter Twenty-Three: The Grumpy God of War

(Ask for recommended tickets!! )

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Bang, bang..................

The bullets fired from Mauser's crossbow flew through the sky with a whistling sound.

The cone-shaped bullet pierced through the power of the magic crystal, grazing the air. The sound of a dead person without resistance sounded incomparable. In particular, the screams of the howling soldiers came in patches, making the battlefield look a little weird.

Bang, bang......... The long sound of bullets piercing the glass-like sky. Let the countless howling soldiers try to keep their bodies as low as possible to dodge.

Duster clamped the hot wooden handle base to his ribs, and it hurt so much that his hands were sweaty, as if he had been coated with a layer of slime. He feels very bad now. Because in Dimmer's eyes, the enemy's crossbow firepower is the only one he has seen in his life.

"Damn, the enemy used a faster-firing rifle crossbow, hell."

The sound of bullets flying around forced him to lay his head under his crotch, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke went straight to his nose. Seizing the gap, Dimmer, who was just dressed as a soldier, picked up the Mauser crossbow in his hand and fired a shot at the opposite side, just hitting a Garand soldier.

But he was met with a barrage of bullets. Each Garand crossbow can be fired eight times in bursts. It may not be as accurate as the Mauser rifle, but with the same number of people, the firepower is enough to suppress the howling soldier to the point that he can't lift his head.

The butt of the Mauser's crossbow was pressed and a conical bullet was reloaded. Compared to ten years ago, that cowardly dwarf Dimer, seems to have disappeared.

Instead, the evil gnome, with the exception of two deformed legs, had the courage and courage of the same as before. It simply doesn't look like the same person.

It was only after a long time that Dimmer raised his head, and his eyes were dancing with green flames, but it seemed that he had been separated by a layer of suffocating crystals, and all he could see was the brown backs of the trenches, and the gray waves of his own soldiers constantly fleeing and retreating.

"My lord, we can't resist it." Why does the enemy have a large number of different styles of crossbows, which makes the Howling Soldier already stupefied.

The offensive strategy that was in a hurry could not keep up with the large number of subsequent support corps. caused the immediate dilemma. But it was not a catastrophe, but the results of the battle did not further expand.

There was a flickering flame in his pupils, and he was silent for a while. Duster suddenly lifted the muzzle of Mauser's crossbow and shattered the panicked howling soldier's skull. Only then was the order given to retreat.

"In any case, even if you give up here, half of the ruined city is still in your hands. The follow-up Howling Legion totaled half a million people. ”

"Boom...... Even if the Spartan Empire was able to adapt to the new mode of warfare, the Legion of the Howling had been planning operations for five years, and it was not something that could be surpassed overnight. ”

In the hands of a steel monster like the 'Iron Lion'. and many more magic crystal weapons that have not yet appeared. Dimer's mouth was drawn with an evil, confident smile.

Just as Dymer's tens of thousands of weeping soldiers began to rout, Yolan on the opposite side commanded Garand's legion to take advantage of the situation and flank the enemy with the Templars on the left and right.

More than a dozen 'Iron Lions' were destroyed by the Templars.

Hundreds of howling soldiers have plummeted in morale and have completely lost their combat effectiveness. Collapsed like a landslide, just fighting for their lives, rushing and trampling each other, discarding weapons. There are also thousands of magic crystals.

But just as the Howling Legion was fleeing in the wind and the Garand soldiers were advancing in large areas, the sky suddenly darkened, and then the wind howled. Thunder and lightning roared, and heavy rain poured down.

Boom――――

The thunder rang out, and the rain continued to fall like beads with broken threads.

The wind chases the rain, the rain chases the wind, the wind and the rain unite to chase the dark clouds in the sky, and the whole heaven and earth are in the rain.

"Hell, we could have taken more strongholds."

Jenny looked at the rain-covered battlefield, and there was no doubt that in such a situation, the offensive could only be suspended. And with the loss of this time, the Howling Legion will definitely consolidate the land they occupy under their feet and build a bunker organization defense.

"It's time for us to retreat." The words of the Templar reached Jenny's ears.

There was just a thunderclap that made Jenny's brows furrow slightly, "What did you say?" ”

Boom - another thunderclap.

In an instant, the raindrops formed a line, and with a "boom", the heavy rain poured down from the sky as if the sky had fallen.

The wind whipped the torrential rain like countless whips, and whipped them fiercely at the soldiers.

"The Templars have completed their raid, and we must retreat! This is the order of the god of war. ”

As soon as the Templars' words fell, the five thousand Templars in Jenny's vision appeared on each of them, and then disappeared one after another.

Sort of induction, telling Jenny that all of the Templars had returned to the War Temple.

Under the influence of obstructed lines of sight and the various effects of the storm, the Garand infantry had no ability to pursue the enemy. But the Templars were different, and it was a good time to hunt them down. Unfortunately, no matter how reluctant Jenny is, the will of the god of war cannot be disobeyed.

Sensing the connection of the War Temple, Jenny chose to return to the War Temple. Unlike the previous time, this time back to the temple, showing Jenny sternly, was a desert. The majestic temple stood out in the desert.

On average, every five minutes, the Battle God Temple changes places. may appear anywhere.

………………

……………………

In the distance, a round sunset sticks to the ridge line of the desert, and the earth is lined with a dull and dark layer, revealing a layer of crimson, and the desert waves supporting the setting sun are solidified, like a sleeping sea.

Nearby, Augustus, the god of war, stands in the Temple Square surrounded by a huge portico. His gaze swept over the cheeks of the Templar soldiers.

"The regiments of Yulan and Garand are enough to deal with Dimer's attack, winter is coming, and the enemy will not have more reinforcements. The Legion of the Crying has three major leaders. Attacking the Northern Kingdom, it is the Eagle Leader who fights us. This leader may be familiar to everyone, she is Catherine and her assistant Duster. ”

Aaron was silent for a few moments.

His eyes met Jenny, nodded to her, and continued. "In addition, what we need to understand is that, in addition to the Eagle Leader. Throughout the war-torn world of Middle-earth, it was the blue wolf leader who attacked the eastern kingdoms. Attacking the Southern Kingdom was the lion leader. The Lich King was sealed in the Emperor's River, and it had long since become a code name. ………… As for this battle, you may wonder why the Templars suddenly withdrew from the battle, but I can only say that it was an all-out war, not just a loss for each city. To be in control, we must know our allies. The situation of the Eastern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom. ”

At this point, the eyes of the god of war are aimed at the direction of the rising sun every day. "So, next, we're going to support the Kingdom of the East."

The escalation of the war mode cost even the mighty Spartan Empire more than a million people, a tenth of the entire population.

Compared to the unprepared Eastern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom, their situation can be imagined.

The evil faction is known to have a very large number of soldiers.

The Spartan Empire took the place of the Northern Kingdom. Become a tenacious force to stop the Eagle Leader from advancing northward.

And the other two kingdoms, crushed by the leader of the blue wolf and the lion, will perish sooner or later.

At the critical juncture of the fierce battle, Aaron chose to support the east and south. In his eyes, this is a very simple truth. Once the Eastern and Southern Kingdoms are destroyed, the Spartan Empire will face the three leaders of the Legion of the Weeping, as well as all the humans recruited from the East, West, and South Kingdoms.

Partial war victory. It does not represent a global victory.

The Battle God Temple stored a large number of Garand crossbows, and a large number of magic crystals. Transform into a wyvern with a blazing speed. Fly to the east. Across the entire continent of Middle-earth, Aaron will be flying at high altitude for at least a month.

…………

………………

Twenty days later, Middle-earth is a strange eastern coast.

It's a primeval forest, even close to the coast.

There are few bushes in the forest, and it is full of towering thousand-year-old trees. The branches of the trees were intertwined, and the flourishing branches and leaves stretched out like turquoise clouds covered the night sky.

Beneath a pair of thin, but sharp eyebrows, are a pair of dark blue pupils, and their gaze is always like a snow-filled silent wilderness.

In the jungle at night, the temperature is very low, and every now and then there is a howl or two of wild beasts and the wail of owls. The quiet night of the forest was gradually washed away by the moonlight, and the bright light smeared a sparkling silver halo on the tops of the trees. Beams of straight light pierced into the depths of the forest through the cracks in the canopy, shining on the thick moss of the ground.

Armed with a Mauser crossbow snatched from the howling soldiers, the masked female warrior roamed the forest.

In her distracted vision, a large ancient tree protrusion appeared in front of her, its bark was dark green, and its thick, strangely shaped branches coiled around the tree like a python. The breeze passed, and the branches and leaves rattled, like the sigh of a python.

The coat of arms of the king of the Eastern Kingdom, a python coiled around an ancient tree.

Motto of the Eastern Kingdoms Royalty: Fight for the Jungle, Fight for the Dawn!

The forest was too quiet at night, and the sound of the wind seemed to have disappeared.

Only a few bird whimpers diffused from time to time in the empty air with the smell of blood, which seemed to be the last struggle of life, and seemed to be a cry for help before death.

The masked female warrior of the jungle followed the sound to the forest according to a concussion. While many thought it was just the Howling Soldier's crystal cannon, she believed it wasn't the same sound at all.

"The Eastern Kingdom has been able to retreat to the last city, the last stronghold. If you retreat, you have to retreat all to the sea. Almost every jungle warrior has lost the confidence to resist. But I won't...... Because I am Mary, the last survivor of the royal family of the East. ”

Mary. Not a leader, not a princess.

But she was the last survivor of the Alexa family. Dressed in a crop top that didn't seem to fit well, she tightened her amazingly good figure, with the royal coat of arms pinned to her left shoulder, and a little below, there was a Dawn badge symbolizing the status of a warrior. In the middle of a round of red sun, there is also an A-word mark that believes in the god of war.

"Who is it?"

A figure flickered ahead. Mary took her Mauser crossbow and stood in front of the stranger with a tight pace, scraping through the jungle as fast as she could. And use the muzzle of the Mauser crossbow to face the opponent's cheek.

"Don't move, or the next breath, you're going to say goodbye to your face."

It was just a warning, and she didn't choose to shoot directly, because what appeared in Mary's eyes was not a miserable white cheek of a howling race, but a face that was resolute and full of righteousness in the cold wind.

But then again, in this day and age, there are not a few humans who have taken refuge in the evil camp. Mary subconsciously prefers the possibility that the other party is an enemy or a spy.

"When the dawn comes, I am ...... The god of war you believe in. ”

Aaron's gaze was fixed on the Dawn badge beneath the other's shoulders. The god of war who sealed the Lich King. He has long been the spiritual leader of all mankind.

Dragging his tired body, it took twenty days to reach the eastern part of the continent, and after completing the task here, Aaron will go to the southern part of the continent next, so the god of war who is fighting fires everywhere does not have much time, and directly reveals his identity, which may allow him to go straight to the topic.

Sadly, Aaron had forgotten that there were times when people did pray to a God they had never met. Believe in all things God. When it comes time to actually face it, no one will believe that God is really in front of them.

"Just you?"

Mary snorted indifferently and followed, "Bang! "There was a thud. Mauser slammed his crossbow into Aaron's cheek.

Perhaps it was because of the more than twenty days of skimming flights, which reduced Aaron's agility and reflexes. So much so that the other party completed the epic feat of beating a god with his own hands. and extreme fatigue, as well as the climate response in the east. It made Aaron's silver-white hair and a pair of silver-white pupils all turn black.

Anger -- in the end. Aaron was not a good-natured demigod, especially in this state of extreme fatigue, being smashed by an ant-like being.

The wrath of a god is enough to smash an ordinary person into a mess in an instant.

It's just that when Aaron raised his head indifferently, and at the moment before he started, he suddenly saw the royal badge on the other party's body, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Things are going even better than expected, the Alexa family, the jungle royalty of the east!

"Barbarian daughter of the Alexa family, take me to your patriarch! Tell him ,......"

―――――― the back seat of Mauser's crossbow, this time slamming into Aaron's head. It's just a little different from the last time, if Aaron is succeeded by the other party again this time, it will be in vain to blind the word God of War.

Syllable! With one hand, intercepted in mid-air, he firmly grasped the Mauser crossbow, and then under Aaron's angry gaze, the power of the half-body directly twisted the Mauser crossbow into a twist.

"Take me to the head of the Eastern Kingdom. Immediately! ――――”

The hoarse and indifferent voice presented an unmistakable tone to Mary's eardrums little by little, tugging at her heart.

Half an hour later.

One after the other, Aaron 'captured' the not-so-obedient female warrior, one after the other, walking in the forest.

There was a fluctuating fog all around, but it was surprisingly quiet, as if all living beings had never set foot here. But the slow rustle told Aaron that the enemy was approaching!

In the jungle, there were layers of shining red halos. It was the glow of the magic crystal from the butt of the Mauser crossbow.

"Hide yourself!"

As soon as Aaron finished speaking, in the middle of a quiet primeval forest, suddenly burst out of a 'steel lion', a huge monster like a majestic mountain range, crawling slowly, and everywhere it went, the trees were staggered and broken, like the traces left by a giant python after crawling over the grass...... Dirt and gravel shot in all directions along the spot it passed.

"One chariot, three hundred enemy ......"

Aaron counts the number of enemies around him. The narrow eyes narrowed into a slit, and then.

Battle Temple Level 1 Skill - War Rhythm.

Battle God Temple Level 4 Skill, -- God of War Banner.

Battle Temple Level 2 Skill, ---- Dragon Impact.

Battle God Temple's level 5 skill, the sky is falling apart.

The shock burst out in all directions along its path, huge rocks staggered and undulating to the ground, cracks in the earth staggered and spread, like cracks in the ice, crumbling in all directions......

Five minutes later, the battle ended. Aaron stood with his spear in hand, and three hundred weeping soldiers, a 'Iron Lion', were all wiped out.

But that didn't mean the end of the battle, and soon Aaron noticed that more and more red glows were flickering from all sides, and the masked female warrior was long gone.

It was clear that Aaron had to recognize the facts. "I didn't expect that the God of War also had a time to be played......"

Dragging the tired demigod body, he had just arrived at his destination, but he had been 'playing' with the Weeping Legion all night.

When he found the city of the Eastern Kingdom, a nerve under the skin of Aaron's forehead was about to erupt.

The city that comes into view. It is the last city of the Eastern Kingdom on the coast.

The reason why this land is isolated from the outside world is that it is separated by forests and swamps.

The vast expanse of the dark forest is eerie, and the occasional squad of Howling Soldiers breaks into it, only to be blocked again by the swamp at the end.

Out of the instinct of survival, even the evil race would never step into the swamp casually, but according to Aaron's observations, there are more than 100,000 Howling Legions being assembled, and if he had been ten days late, the Eastern Kingdom might not have existed.

Directly prop up the Void Enchantment, and enter the city directly in a state of invisibility. Then follow the streets, all the way to the center of the city, and find the crowd gathering to resist the fiercest attack of the Weeping Legion.

Aaron, who was faintly irritable, directly dispersed the void enchantment and appeared under the watchful eye.

"In the name of Augustus, the god of war, I take command of the city. Whoever doesn't want to obey, stand up now! (To be continued......)
