Chapter 432: Butterfly's Wings
Burnbert, the capital of the Misty Mountains, the capital of the San Anton Rio Amu Mountains, is known for its spice and gemstone processing industries, and is located surrounded by mountains.
Its history is quite legendary, at first it was just a mountain village without fertile, but the most dangerous thing was that there were dangerous beasts between such mountains, and in the legend, among the misty mountains, there were demons, who could do anything, but they fed on people.
Legend has it that as long as someone walks into the mountains, no one can come back, and there are often people missing in the mountain city, and the mountain people say that they have been taken away by demons.
But more than 700 years ago, there was a brave young man Amu who took the initiative to go into the mountains, fight with demons, and obtained the technology that made his hometown rich - the spice seed and gem mining and processing technology called "Long Ai".
And Amu himself, who used a lot of wealth to build this Burning Bert Centralized Transfer Station, Commercial Bazaar, and Military Fortress, not only became the first lord of the city, but also became a hero of the people of the people, and even this mountainous area was gradually named after it.
Because the history is too long, such a legend has long been taken seriously by others, after all, the demon or something is not reliable, and now there is no disappearance, as for those explorers who went into the mountains but did not return, considering the roar of the beasts that occasionally echoed in the mountains, how they ended up has a more reliable explanation and conjecture.
In today's AD era, although the era has changed the surrounding environment beyond recognition, and even the gem mining area on which the Amu Mountains depend for their livelihood has been exhausted, Longai and the gem processing industry are still an important economic pillar of the Amu Mountains.
Every year, countless caravans cross the mountains. Precious jade and gemstone ore were sent. Spices and finished gemstones were taken away. Especially for some magical gems that require special craftsmanship, the Super Gemsmith here is one of the main planes.
But no one in the Amu people at that time probably thought that the legend would turn into reality one day, and the legendary story of the ancestors 700 years ago turned into a burden for their descendants.
"Hello, we are in debt, please fulfill the agreement between Amu and us, please give the wealth obtained because of him. Let's return half of what we deserve. No money? Then use the land to pay for it."
The ogre demon really existed, the hero Amu actually signed a contract, the treasure and technology he got from the demon was not free, and there was actually a part of the demon in those gains, and now these demons have returned to the world and become creditors.
Well, speaking of which, I'm afraid everyone knows the true face of these demons.
"Trolls, lots of trolls, jungle trolls, snow trolls, fire trolls. It's all ......."
When those hateful-looking trolls came out of the misty mountains, they even brought with them the contract they had made many years ago.
Even if it is well kept. The centuries-old dusky tissue paper has been illegible, and what really keeps the contract from becoming waste paper is the ensuing army of trolls, and there are more than 200,000 troll armies in this mountainous area.
At this point, I'm afraid anyone can guess the ins and outs of the matter, the defeated trolls of the holy war fled to the depths of the mountains here, so there is a so-called demon legend, but it can not take a step for so many years, and there are no rumors, but it is enough to prove the perseverance of the troll clan.
According to historical records, these trolls who were good at witchcraft and primitive shamanic teachings have records of using potions and magic gems in various religious and magical ceremonies, and their knowledge in herbalism far exceeds that of their contemporaries, knowledge is power and wealth, and it is very possible that their leaked unique knowledge will make a remote mountain town prosperous again.
As for why they would choose Amu to sign such a contract that was obviously impossible to fulfill......
“…… As long as the warrior who has crossed countless dangers to the depths of the mountains, he can save his life in the competition with our warriors, so how about giving him a small gift. Our people are not a barbaric tribe, and we respect the brave. After so many years, Amu is not the only one who has signed this 'half' contract, but he is the only one who has really fulfilled this step. Amu is indeed a true braver. ”
No one knows if this is true, but the words of this strange "neighbor" at least make many people feel a little better, after all, Amu is also a hero in the clan, and he is so respected by outsiders, and he has also gained some face on his side.
Of course, what really made these "creditors" swagger remained, but it was their powerful legion, the famous warrior in the mountains was stabbed in half by a troll squad leader, and the militia organization with a total number of no more than 3,000 was wiped out in just three hours.
The Amu Mountains are close to the uninhabited mountains, there is no imaginary enemy at all, and the only permanent force is the guards and militia of the mountain city, the former can probably deal with the troublesome mountain people, and the latter is mainly the imaginary enemy of the beasts in the mountains, and if you want to organize reinforcements, I am afraid that the lords of several other provinces will be mobilized together, which is not a matter of time and a half.
And the Templar Church and the Paladins, who were supposed to deal with this kind of thing, got into their own troubles, at least for a short time, and there was no hope for it, so in just two days, the mountain people of the Amu Mountains cut off their ties with human society and became vassals of the trolls.
This is not hundreds of years ago when the mountains were uncommunicative, the merchants also brought with them the culture and common sense of the new age, the reputation of the trolls is not good, their nature of feeding on other intelligent creatures makes the mountain people extremely frightened, even if they say that they have changed this habit, but the skull ornaments and sharp teeth around their necks are not at ease.
But they did not rush to use practical actions to change the understanding of ordinary people, took the initiative to distribute food in the streets, sent good-looking troll girls to play with children, and let the old hunters and mountain hunters talk about the survival experience in the mountains.
Of course, taking into account the sensitive self-esteem of the opposite, they also have heroes who admire the unique culture and legends of the mountain people.
The rations of the "breadfruit" were so delicious that they became popular in the city at once. And the jewelers, herbalists, and alchemists of the upper echelons of the mountain people were given a large number of new recipes and precious materials. The promises of "the gem capital of the future" and "the city of art ruled by merchants and craftsmen" are also imaginative.
I have to say. The trolls did a good job, this is much more effective than a forcible invasion, and there must be a plan and a whole set of strategic support behind it.
As a stranger who makes the whole plane "familiar", the impact of their first appearance on the world is very important, if it is the same cannibal life as in the story, I am afraid that everyone will fight to the end, and if there can be a slightly soothing image, such as a friendly alien who intends to integrate into this world. At least it will take a lot less trouble.
Of course, there was not no one among the mountain people who accused this qiē of being a disguise, but as a result, these "smart people" soon disappeared inexplicably.
A large number of daily necessities were suddenly "conjured", the free distribution of food and gold coins benefited all the mountain people, the trolls who were willing to spend money almost completed the strategic deployment, and even those goblins hiding in the shadows had already prepared the manuscript paper outside the number.
Yes, almost, the problem is not that some brave or crusader suddenly jumps out, San Antonio has a lot of trouble of his own. This worthless mountain will not be ranked for a while and a half, and something will go wrong. It's the trolls themselves.
"Kill them and bring their heads to the altar."
At a certain point in time, the troll uncle, who was amiable last night, suddenly turned into a murderous villain, and the troll warrior who was still frowning and squeezing out a smile just now threw a deadly spear with a bloodthirsty brilliance.
The killing came very suddenly, and the end was very fast, in less than twelve hours, when hundreds of thousands of trolls began the killing race, the 170,000 population of the mountain city, only a few thousand people could survive or escape, on the altar pushed by the skeleton, countless dead heads were placed on it, they still can't figure out why this happened, why they talked about it yesterday, today it will take people's lives.
The entire city was covered in blood and stench, and bloodthirsty trolls hunted back and forth like demons, but those survivors who were gathered near the city gates had the privilege of witnessing what happened next.
All the altars were lit one by one, the red pillars of light ignited the clouds in the sky, and even during the day, the sun disappeared without a trace, and when the night and the red blood moon in the sky suddenly descended, the blood on all the altars began to boil,
moves, eventually fusing into a pool of purple-red blood.
And under the troll witch doctor and shaman's thoughts, the blood pool and the blood moon in mid-air had an inexplicable relationship, the blood-red light fell, but the blood pool seemed to be incarnated as a living thing, getting bigger and bigger, the blood became more and more viscous, and finally, it expanded the area by nearly ten times, swallowing all the remaining living people.
Those who remain last, either the brave young and strong, or the wise and mature old, will be the best sacrifices.
And when the first blood-red sheep-horned demon came out of the boiling pool of blood, the great witch doctor Harlett, who had collapsed, finally breathed a sigh of relief, for the scene in front of him, the trolls ruined the entire strategic plan, if he still failed, even as the leader of the poison spear tribe, he still had no chance of survival.
One by one, the sheep horn demons came out of the pool of blood, they were not very tall, just looking at the triangular sheep face was a little funny, and the hooves of the lower limbs were similar to those of the half-sheep people, but the upper body of the half-sheep people was pure human form, and there was no such thing
Paine, the leader of the Sheephorn Demon, was a gray giant Sheephorn Demon, he had just come out, shook the blood on his body, and casually put the mutilated flesh of the surrounding sacrifices in his mouth and chewed it, and after hurriedly eating the blood food, he ran back to the blood pool, pushed away the troll's caster, stood on the edge of the blood pool, tore his arm and bleed, and kept chanting incantations in his mouth, expanding the area of the door to the lower plane.
They are the Scythe Sheephorn Demons, who are said to have been a special demonic form of the fallen Half-Sheep and Bull Demons, and they are also a group of demons who are good at casting spells, making them the first pioneers, which says a lot.
With the help of the Sheephorn Demon, the blood pool is getting bigger and bigger, and the Sheephorn Demon, who has exhausted all his magic power in advance, was directly thrown back into the blood pool by Paine's order, and turned into a pool of blood water in the wail, which became the nourishment of the blood pool. They even began to sacrifice their own limbs. Strive for the door of the plane to be stabilized as soon as possible.
Finally. When the blood pool had not jumped out of the claw demon for more than twenty minutes, a red ghost claw suddenly poked out of it, and he accidentally touched the city wall, and then grabbed a few trolls and claw demons with a casual grab, and then threw them back directly back to the blood pool.
And while the unlucky ones were still wailing in mid-air, the pool of blood suddenly retreated sharply, as if the portal was about to collapse. But Paine showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and while he hurriedly retreated, he was still looking up to the sky and howling, as if he was happy?
"Ahhh
Before the unfortunate eggs caught by the giant hand hit the ground, the giant mouth that swallowed half of the pool of blood swallowed them all in one gulp, and the last miserable howl was a wail between the teeth.
The bloody sacrifice continued, but the Abyss Lord incarnated by the giant mouth had already come to the human world, and now what entered this world was only the abyss giant mouth more than thirty meters wide.
"Blood Food, more Blood Food! Delicious...... Delicious...... Engulf...... Evolve! ”
And this is at least a demon earl-level cunzi. But he seemed a little delirious and couldn't even speak.
"Bejurus, the Eater of Purgatory? How could it be him? ”
Harlett, the great witch doctor, recognized the evil and noble being. But in the quiet hind legs, the original expectation of negotiating with the demon boss was directly canceled, in front of this demon lord, even if it was good to be able to save his life, he still didn't want to send him to death.
Helleater Bejurus is an extremely old demon lord, and although his individual strength is considered to be the top among the demon counts, he is undoubtedly the worst reinforcement when he regards his appetite as greater than anything else, and maybe those troll legions of Harait are not enough for him to add food.
Béculus seemed to be stuck in the plane's gate, roaring and screaming, while the Eclippers were running back and forth, trying to rescue their monarch.
Obviously, these sacrifices are not enough to let such a demon boss come to the main plane, and the impatient Bejulus has no habit of waiting, when the leader of the Sheephorn Demon Paine spent a lot of time to persuade and explain, Bejulus finally retracted a little, at least part of the blood pool space flowed out, but the eight blood eyes with appetite and killing desire undoubtedly showed their desire.
So, the demons jumped out of the pool of blood again, but this time it was not a "weakling" like the Sheephorn Demon
, but the Fighting Demon, the Dragontail Demon, the Devouring Demon and other killing demons, some of them are tall and powerful, and they can shatter the head of giants with a single punch, and some of them have poisonous thorn wings and begin to search for their new prey in the sky.
Although there is a general classification of demons that are good at evolution and devouring, the evolution of each individual is strange, and the ability is also very different, it can be said that there is no one who is exactly the same demon in the world, if you have to find a similarity for analogy, that is, the uglier the demon, the stronger and more ferocious, all the demons are the most unwelcome guests of each plane, they will do nothing but create ruins and no man's land.
The Demon Overseers waved their whips in mid-air, but there was no need, because the Demon Lord's eyes with appetite and killing expectations were more effective than any means of war, and the demons completed the reorganization with great efficiency, and then went directly to the outside world to kill, they had to find enough sacrifices for their masters, and a new round of killing nights had been staged in advance.
"It's finally done."
Harlet, who was already hiding in the corner, breathed a sigh of relief, since the demon lord had come, he and his clan would naturally retreat, no, it should be said that if he didn't leave quickly, he and his clan would probably become the demon lord's snack in front of him.
Conventions? Planning? Ally? High-level demons don't think so much about satisfying their desires in their brains, which are full of muscle instincts and reflex nerves. Hope is the first priority, plan or something, when you remember it, you can execute it, forget it.
Losses caused by non-implementation of the plan and penalties from superiors? First of all, the demons rarely think about the battle situation and strategy, and secondly, the demon lords who can occupy a plane of the bottomless abyss alone are the second feeling of the heavens and the earth, and the so-called superiors have not existed from the beginning, they are not so much a companion who has come together for a common goal, but a bastard who has been called to enjoy the killing and flesh and blood in the main plane, so they hurried to the dinner.
However, this extremely simple mode of thinking gives them the most suitable evolutionary route, demons always grow in killing, but in terms of the overall combat power of the race, the demons with unlimited stamina in the Styx River are definitely the strongest beings in the multi-dimensional world.
As for whether eating allies will cause damage to the plan? Hungry demon lords would most likely think about it after they had eaten it, but for the trolls, it was completely too late.
"Damn, I obviously supported the original plan, why did you send me ......."
Yes, the trolls who lost a qiē in the holy war have long chosen the Chaos Evil God and the Chaos Abyss as their new masters, and even many purgatory-based trolls have lived in the lower plane for a long time and are no longer able to return to the main plane by normal means.
The original plan of the trolls was not like this at all, they should not hesitate to gain the approval of the human world, at least not as the main threat, and then gradually encroach on the surrounding city-states and lands, and secretly become the outpost of the demon army, instead of such a simple and rude attack on the face.
But sometimes the plan is not as fast as the change, and in the final analysis, the sudden change in the strategy of the trolls actually has a lot to do with Roland.
Although there is no timetable for holy wars, there are still some unspoken rules, the mortal race has opponents who are also mortals, and the gods of order have mortal enemies, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, and the opposite side will be pulled out before they start killing each other's soldiers.
There is this unspoken rule, which is also based on the reality and the abilities of both sides, and now the elemental tide is still far from the peak, and it is not cost-effective to send a strong combat force to the world, especially the demons will suffer a lot, so now should be the time for the sentinel battle dominated by agents.
But now, this unspoken rule and tacit understanding have been broken by the main divine light god on the order side, not only has he incarnated the main god, but a large number of low- and middle-level angels who are used in battle and descended from the gods have undoubtedly broken the balance of power and accelerated the progress of the holy war, so, as a reciprocal response, the chaos abyss also sent its own fierce beasts and demon legions, and the result is that under the influence of the butterfly reaction, the high-level combat power of demons and angels came much earlier than expected.
Fortunately, the lower level of elemental tides still restricts the demons, and the sacrifice of a city-state only comes with half a demon count and half a legion, even if the demons come to the main plane, it is not easy to expand the combat power in their hands and achieve more results, after all, there is definitely a problem with the supply of their soldiers.
If the Templar Church organizes an expeditionary force at this time, it may be able to get rid of this trouble quickly, but considering the situation they are struggling with right now, it is better not to think too much.
And when the butterfly effect makes the trouble bigger and bigger, the calamity of the main plane is getting closer and closer, but at this time, Roland is doing the same evil act as summoning demons, he is summoning demons! (To be continued......)
