Chapter 540: The Light of Hope
Eventually, the city of Dieter Rock was broken.
The locust tide covered the sky for more than half an hour, and it is unclear how large the entire insect tide covered, but then a large number of locusts fell on the surrounding mountains.
During that period of darkness, Heno and the other two Civilizers in the army broke into the city and joined forces to kill the two Civilizer generals here, and then the rest was almost effortless.
Seeing the yellow-gray demon, and losing effective command, plus the gate was already wide open, the defenders of the city either broke or surrendered.
Henno then ordered the two Civilizers to lead their soldiers to capture the Assassins who had been tracked down by the scouts.
Even if Nighthawk is a very good scout, it is difficult to escape if he is pursued by scouts more than ten times his size, and two enlightened people come to capture him personally.
So half a day later, the two Nighthawks had been tied up by the Five Flowers and captured back to the city of Dieter Rock, which had changed hands.
The surrounding mountains were gradually becoming greener, and the refugees and the original defenders had fled towards the hinterland of the kingdom, while the army of the Qingle Empire closed the front and back gates of the city, ordering the soldiers and the remaining civilians to hide in their houses and not to come out, lest they attract demons.
It is rumored that this is effective, but no one knows the bottom of the implementation of it, after all, there are rumors that the use of fire is effective, but there are rumors that after lighting the fire, it attracts a large number of yellow-gray demon attacks and is eaten.
In the government hall of the original garrison mansion of Dieter Rock Seki Castle, four Nighthawks were detained lying or kneeling.
Lying on the ground were two wounded by arrows, kneeling were two who had been caught, and one was dead.
Heno sat at the top, playing with the crystal accessories in his hand, although the current accessories were still pleasing to the eye, but there was no heat and light.
After looking at it for a while, he returned it to his son Blantai, and then looked at the nighthawks with a reluctant face.
I thought it was the assassin who came to assassinate Blante, but Blante said that they didn't want to kill him, but just stole the crystal accessories.
"Who sent you? Why did you snatch this thing? Do you know what it is?"
Three questions in a row, but no one from the Nighthawks responded.
"Give me an answer to your lordship!"
"Bang. ”
One of the enlightened people took it upon himself and kicked the leader Nighthawk in the waist, causing the latter to snort and break out in a cold sweat of pain, and it took a long time to recover.
"We... Call... We are thieves, see this nobleman ... The noble young master has a glowing treasure in his hands... For a while, I was greedy......"
After saying this, the leading Nighthawk stopped, but he didn't expect to fool anyone with this kind of nonsense.
"Hehe, how can a group of thieves keep their composure when the yellow-gray demon obscures the Solar Star, and enter the Guards cavalry formation to snatch something from Branthai?"
"In the subsequent escape, only two people injured 5 scouts in our army!
Heno teased with a sneer, and reached out to stop his subordinates who wanted to step forward and beat people.
"Tell me, what's the use of this particular gemstone pendant?
In fact, Heno was also very worried about this problem, he knew that in addition to Brantey, the Emperor also had many of these accessories in his hands, and the Nolan family had given them.
So it is not ruled out that the emperor has studied what special role this thing has, and wants to get this thing quietly.
"I swear in the name of the God of Light that as long as you speak out, I can guarantee that you will live, but you will lose your freedom for a while!"
It was good that Heno didn't mention the God of Light, but at the mention of this, the nighthawks below were visibly gasping for breath.
"Who will believe your oath when you turn your back on God!Your emperor used the power of darkness to restore his youth, and you brought destruction, summoned demons to mortal earth, and saw the yellow-gray demons, didn't you feel a little guilty?"
One of the Nighthawks is obviously a little unbearable, anyway, it is impossible for the other party to believe that they are thieves, and they are destined to not survive.
Heno frowned and looked at Branthai, who was also looking at his father.
Blantai holds the crystal accessory in the palm of his hand.
"You mean, the yellow-gray demon we recruited?"
"Hmph, since your national sacrifice, the power of evil has extended here, the civilians of Qingge may be innocent, but you big nobles, especially the cronies of your emperor, will they still be innocent?"
The leading Nighthawk smiled.
"Hehehe...... Sacrifice to the gods, what a big lie! The yellow-gray demon came to the mortal world after that time, but this terrifying monster is only a prelude, and the sweetness you taste now will be repaid with blood sooner or later!"
Although Heno was expressionless, Brantey had a look of surprise on his face.
"What are you talking about? Are you saying that the yellow-gray demon was recruited by the Qingge Empire?"
He looked at Heno.
"Father?"
Heno knew what Brantey wanted to ask, but he didn't know himself, so he shook his head slightly.
All this was also seen by the Nighthawk Leader, and his heart suddenly moved.
"Your Excellency, according to the information we have received, the national sacrifice of the Qingge Empire has always claimed to be a sacrifice to the God of Light, maybe I can think that you don't know the truth either?"
Nighthawk tried to stand up, but was held down by the guards on the side and couldn't move.
"Your Excellency, you don't seem to know what you've done, do you?"
Heno smiled.
"Take them down, don't listen to their nonsense. ”
The guards on the side immediately stepped forward, grabbed the nighthawk, lifted it and pushed it, and escorted it out.
"Wait!!!!! Your Excellency"
"Wait a minute!! do you know what the crystal is in your hand? you know what!! wait, listen to me!! it can save the world, listen to me....."
The sound in the back stopped abruptly, obviously the pro-guards were rough.
When the nightjars were taken away, it didn't take long for Heno to announce that everyone had dispersed.
A short time later, in Heno's makeshift break room, the father and son of the Nolan family were reunited.
Brantey was a little worried, he had been thinking that the sacrifice was not normal for months, and the timing of the appearance of the yellow-gray demon, a natural disaster that had not been said before, was too coincidental.
"Father... If there should really be something wrong with that sacrifice, if His Majesty the Emperor really isn't the power to pray to the gods..."
Heno was silent.
Thinking back to the gruesome sacrifice, the thousands of livestock, and even the number of death row inmates, the blood, the strange red light, and the storm that followed, it is not sacred.
The sound of "buzzing ......" sounded one after another.
The yellow-gray demon tide outside began to move again, and the green near the city pass had been eaten up, so small groups of locusts were constantly taking off around.
Blantai held the crystal accessory in his hand, and at this time, it once again lit up with a faint fluorescence, and also emitted a burst of heat.
"Get in!"
There was a low shout outside, and a man staggered in, it was the leader of the Nighthawk who had been taken down earlier.
Seeing the two people in the room, the seasoned scout knew what was going on.
"Your Excellency, I am amazed by your wisdom!"
"Tell me, what the hell is going on, don't beat around the bush for me this time!"
Heno squinted at him.
And the latter was looking at the crystal that was glowing at this time, and felt hope in his heart.
"Your Excellency, do you believe in legends, and what if I tell you that I have seen a living legend......
