Chapter 315: On the Eve of the Great War
Gillian went out for a walk again today.
Ever since she settled in Lionheart, she's loved walking.
It's not so much that she likes to walk, but that it's an excuse, and her real purpose is to understand the current trends in this world through people's expressions and words.
Pedestrians on the streets were even sparser than they were a few months ago, and she even found that many of the shops on the streets were closed, and they looked very desolate.
I can't imagine that Lionheart, which used to be bustling and extraordinary, would become like this. That nameless sense of fear has really completely crushed the weak civilians.
Everyone is worried about their own safety, and everyone is saying in their hearts that the end of the world is coming. Although Gillian didn't know what others were thinking, it was clear from their complaining eyes and frightened expressions, because even she herself had this thought.
Yes, the end of the world is coming. The human army has lost seven games in a row, and the footsteps of the Scourge Legion are getting closer and closer here, what hope does humanity have?
In this terrifying atmosphere, no one is still in the mood to work, let alone go shopping.
Shops are closed, and the gorgeous theme park is long gone.
Gillian saw someone digging a cellar in her yard and hiding in it when the end of the world really came. They may not be able to hide for long, but at least they can live a little longer. So many people followed suit.
She also saw that many people had formed teams to take refuge in the deep mountains and old forests, villages and cities were the priority targets of the undead army, and in the deep mountains and old forests, it was a long time before the undead would go.
Hide, hide, escape, so Lionheart is getting quieter and quieter. But more people still resolutely choose to stay in their homes. They probably saw the facts clearly, if the end of the world really came, it would be a death wherever they went, so it would be better to die in their own homes.
The dignified Lionheart City, a city at the level of a main city comparable to the imperial capital of Scambrai, would actually become like this, not to mention the other hundreds of thousands of small cities.
Today, Gillian heard the news that the Burning Legion would face off against the Undead Legion, but it was only a rumor, and it was not certain whether they would fight or not.
In fact, there are many people who have confused the Burning Legion with the Undead Legion, saying that they are the same thing. No one is ignorant of the Burning Legion's massive invasion of humanity. Although in fact the invasion of the Burning Legion did not cause a large number of casualties, because Barr ordered not to kill people who did not have the ability to resist.
But the panic caused by the invasion was terrible, because those who had "escaped by luck and survival instincts" from the catastrophe trumpeted Baal's horrors, which brought him great fame, but all of them notoriety.
In the eyes of most people, Baal and Bazura are both heinous demons, and the legend says that the two of them have nothing to do with each other, because they both have a "Ba" at the beginning of their names, and the legend also mentions that if those two demons unite, the world will definitely be destroyed. The legend is always so magical, I have to say that the round one is flat, and the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes, but some people believe it.
Now that the legend is finally "near" realized, people have become more convinced of the legend.
Those two demons will join forces, and they will definitely be! This is the same as the idea that an egg will hatch a chick.
Although the people on the street were talking to each other, Gillian always maintained her opinion.
Gillian is confident that Baal will not be in trouble with BaZula, but she is a little worried that he and his Burning Legion will be pacified by the undead.
Gillian always hoped that Baal could lead the monsters and humans to unite and fight side by side against the undead, which can be said to be the only straw for humanity now. But as it turned out, no one tried it at all, and there was no need to try, not to mention that Baal himself would not agree, not even Princess Leia.
So Gillian doesn't know how to look at the problem now, she can only blindly listen to the news and see how things are developing.
***
The army of the undead has descended on the city.
At the same time, the Burning Legion was also ready for battle.
Built at the entrance to the Misty Mountains, the Monster Fortress is impregnable.
At this time, Baal was standing on the walls of the monster fortress, looking down on the army of the undead in front of him.
I saw a black sea in front of me, flooding the entire plain, and there was no edge in sight. Countless undead armed with swords and weapons, with a faint green glow in their eyes, were active in the terrifying legions.
The army of the undead is like a beast of the world, coming to swallow everything here.
As the enemy approached, the sun left the earth step by step, the sky was overcast, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of death.
Beside Baal, in addition to Shanara, there were many other Burning Legion high-ranking people, all of whom looked nervous. Shanara is calm because of Barr's presence, and as long as he is around, she can be calm in any scene.
Sayi and Sword Thirteen also came here with some of the Demon Warrior's subordinates, who were also members of the Burning Legion.
Although the number of monsters is not at all less than that of the undead, the strength of the two sides is clear.
Thousands of monsters have already been ready to attack at any time. Barr could tell that none of the monsters here were afraid, and all of them were scrappy. They were doing well at this time, but they just didn't know what would happen to them after a while.
Most of the monsters don't have any wisdom at all, they only know how to fight and kill. They don't know much about the undead, and not many monsters even know about the fact that the undead can ignore ordinary attacks. Even if you tell them, they won't listen like honest students.
At the moment, the morale of the Burning Legion is strong, but if the monsters see that the undead cannot be killed and destroyed one by one, they will definitely be afraid, and I am afraid that there will be large-scale casualties immediately.
When the sky was shrouded in evil darkness, the army of the undead finally launched a massive assault on the monster fortress of the Misty Mountains.
Barr's side, except for Shanara, all went to stick to their posts.
In fact, Barr had already issued several orders to Shanara, ordering her to leave here and not to participate in this war, and Barr was afraid that she would be harmed in any way. However, even the orders of the legion commander were ignored by Shanara.
At this moment, he looked at her white face again, and his shocking appearance surprised Barr no matter how many times he looked at it.
Although Bal Zhilu Dao Shanara became very powerful after learning the Jade Maiden Sutra, the sword on the battlefield was eyeless, and at this time, he was facing the most terrifying army of the undead, and he could not guarantee that Shanara would not be harmed in any way. Barr still wanted Shanara to back down, walked over, caressed her long flowing black hair, and said, "I hope you will be obedient." ”
Needless to say, Shanara knew what Radaubar was talking about.
But Shanara's stubbornness was definitely not something that could make her succumb in a few words, and she said calmly: "I will agree to any request, but it is based on one of my requests, that is, don't let me leave you." ”
Barr clearly felt Shanara's deep affection for him, and his heart was filled with the sweetness she brought to himself. Barr couldn't help but stop her luxurious waist and pull her to his side next to her body.
"I won't ask you that kind of thing, and I didn't let you leave this time, just to avoid it."
"I don't want to be useless in front of you, I need your protection and my care, but I also want you to reassure me, I want to show my own ability, otherwise I will doubt my right to stay by your side."
Barr was no longer reluctant. From another point of view, if his lover wants to fight, he must not let it go.
Just as they were quietly feeling the warmth brought by each other, the earth-shattering war drums of the undead army exploded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A dull war drum made the black sea-like army of the undead suddenly surge, and the calm just now disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The war drums sounded three times, and the black sea became turbulent.
By the time the drums of war reached the ninth sound, the momentum of the undead had become like a tsunami.
The war drums sounded continuously, faster and faster, denser and heavier, and the roar of the undead was also rising all the way.
When the curtain came down on the last drums of war, the army of the undead swooped down on the monster fortress like countless black tsunamis.
The sky became more gloomy, the earth began to tremble, the sound of dense footsteps was like the wail of the earth, the air seemed to freeze, and it was difficult to breathe for a while.
The scene in front of me was like a mountain suddenly collapsing, and the monsters standing here were almost overwhelmed.
Seeing that earth-shattering scene, many monsters could no longer hold it at this time, and they all yelled and screamed. But more monsters chose to be silent, because they had clearly felt the huge pressure on the other side, the strong breath of death, without the slightest coolness, but it made the heart feel very cold, the passion of the past seemed to be frozen, and there was no more courage to stand here.
