Covered by dense vegetation, the seemingly inconspicuous valley is occasionally exposed by the trees, and the unfamiliar style is unknown to know which era of the city's ruins.

In the underground space under the ruins, there are many caves and staggered walls, and it is actually an underground city that is still intact.

The inhabitants of yesteryear have long since been wiped out, and every corner of the dungeon is now filled with ragged refugees. There are humans, half-elves and halflings, and in some places you can even see green-skinned orcs and werewolves covered in various hairs.

The fiery girl with short red hair walked through the dungeon, and everyone, regardless of race, nodded to her and even stood up in salute. She smiled back, a warm and determined smile on her cheeks, which were so thin that her cheekbones were exposed.

Ishmat Holy Maiden Gronya, thanks to her and her Order of Paladin, these victims are able to unite and fight for survival, regardless of race or status.

Gronia and her men walked deeper into the dungeon, stopping her from a mournful cry as she passed an orc tribe.

"My daughter was bitten by a scorpion and she can't ......"

The orc mother was holding a young orc girl in her arms, and her complexion, which should have been turquoise, became gray and gloomy. The pupils of the eyes that were still open were already out of focus, and if it weren't for the slight heaving of the chest, everyone would think it was a corpse.

The orc continued to say in orc language, "Such a fragile little creature is not entitled to survive in the first place. ”

Gronia looked at the others, everyone subconsciously bowed their heads, they were all exhausted to the extreme, and they had no extra strength to save people, not to mention that this was an orc.

"Since I've met it, I'm not going to ignore it," Gronia sighed, crouched down, and placed her hand on the orc girl's chest, the palm of which lit up slightly.

"I can still use the poison technique, and although I can't heal it right away, it should make her better. ”

Gronia spoke in an already proficient orc language, pressing the silver-white light into the little girl's body.

The little girl snorted, the heaving of her chest became noticeable, and her gaze became a little more vivid.

"Thank you...... Your Highness, you are the embodiment of Palos......"

The mother of the orc threw herself to the ground and kowtowed to her on the ground.

"Yes, the righteousness of Ismat knows no race, He is the new Palos. ”

Gronia smiled weakly and touched the top of the other's head according to the rules of the orcs.

She stood up on her knees, but her body shook and almost fell, but fortunately she was held up by the maid.

"I'm fine...... Just catch your breath and keep walking, there are more difficult tasks waiting for us. ”

She broke free from the maid's support and continued on with vain steps. The subordinates hurriedly followed, and the gaze on her back was a little more admiring.

Deep in the dungeon, past the guards and traps, Gronia entered the hall.

A middle-aged nobleman greeted him and said with a worried face, "Samihan's men are outside, can you bring them here?" The Cave of Sinking Teeth is the largest of our remaining strongholds, and the Sylvie legion will come soon. ”

Gronia didn't answer immediately, ordered her subordinates to rest, and beckoned the middle-aged man to a workbench in the corner of the hall. The soundproof barrier of the workbench enveloped the two of them, and the words rippled slightly on the translucent light curtain.

"I have found the fragment of Mother Earth's seal and confirmed the exact location of the seal. That's right, Morquinn, we've found the Ancestor's Den,"

"As for this place, there are tens of thousands of people gathered, and I don't believe that Sylvie hasn't noticed it yet, she's just too lazy to pay attention," said Gronia. ”

"But we have to keep her concerned, and tomorrow we will move all the refugees to the Bloodtooth Cave, and she can't ignore this movement any longer, just to contain some of her power. ”

The middle-aged man named Morquin was stunned: "That will kill and hurt a lot." ”

Gronia's expression did not change: "This is a necessary sacrifice, Morquinn, millions of people have already died against Sylvie and Theresia. It's just that step away now, we can't let their blood flow in vain. ”

Morquin was still hesitating: "Sylvie actually had a lot of opportunities to uproot us, and every time she made a mistake at a crucial moment, giving us a chance to escape, I feel like that's what she wants to see." ”

Gronia's cheeks twitched, and her tone became cold: "That's because Ishmat is protecting us! Can a mortal in Sylvie be better than Ismat?"

"Even if that's what she wants, what does she see the Patriarch as? Mother Earth was the first ancient god the Titans destroyed, and the Titans created mortals out of His wreckage. Except for elves, dwarves, and halflings, the bloodlines of all races of mortals can be traced back to Mother Earth, otherwise he would not be called the ancestor. ”

"Even if it's just the wreckage of Mother Earth, it's not something that she Sylvi can match! As for Theresia, she is not the real goddess of order yet, and she can't use the power beyond the legend in the main plane, and then the main plane will be the world of the ancestor and us mortals!"

"All the sins are caused by mortals who have turned their backs on their own bloodlines and failed to realize that everyone is a family and should love each other regardless of distinction! It is the gods who press on the heads of mortals who have created them! Ismat rebelled against them and guided us mortals to overthrow the oppression of the gods, and we can rely on nothing but the faith of Ismat, and the only thing we can rely on is the power of the ancestors!"

Gronia sneered, "Maybe Sylvie has some plans that we don't know, but as long as we revive the Ancestor, all her calculations will come to naught!"

She forced her eyes at Morquin, "Are you afraid? Prince Morquin, and the fate of your brother Faris can't be ignited with vengeful anger?"

Hearing the name Farris, Morquin's expression gradually became firm.

He cast a deep gaze at Gronia: "Gronia, what is it that makes you stronger than all of us? Whether it's the blood feud with Theresia and Sylvie, or the faith of Ismat, I don't think it's enough to sustain you until now. ”

Gronia was stunned, her whole body relaxed, she leaned on the workbench, barely supporting her body, and she said in a tired and hoarse voice, "First it was blood feud, then faith, then ...... Endless sacrifices. ”

She shook her head, as if to shake the past experience out of her mind: "Every time I think about it, the blood in my soul is thicker, and I don't understand why my soul can endure so much suffering and sacrifice and still not collapse." ”

"There are only a few Cheandia Paladins left who originally followed me, except for Gaston and Esther. The thousands of people who followed me to Bled in Kester, now there are fewer than a hundred. ”

"When we first came to Brad, we fought the nobles, Morquin, and we were enemies. Later, we joined forces to fight the orcs, and now the orcs are our close comrades. ”

"We went on to fight the kings and nobles who surrendered to Sylvie, and then many princes, princesses, and nobles came to our side to fight to protect the bloodline of the Bledders. ”

"Now, what do you think we're fighting for?"

Morhorn nodded heavily: "We are fighting for mortals, fighting for freedom. ”

"That's right, for the freedom of mortals!"

Gronia slammed her fist on the workbench, and the image of the entire city flickered.

"We want the gods who enslave mortals and pay for the sins they have committed for thousands of years!"

Her eyes lit up, and there was a glow of hope flowing in them: "We are not alone, Romulos and Richie Prell, they are also on the side of mortals, they will definitely lend a hand, and Gaston and Esther will definitely send back good news!"

Morhorn also nodded longingly: "If you can move them, the situation in the main plane will change drastically, and we Bled people will have vitality, and we will not have to wake up the ancestor at that time." ”

"You can't put your hopes in them, and the pace of awakening the Ancestor must not be slowed down," said Gronia, "Even if the Ancestor sweeps the entire Main Plane at that time, it will be a new life for mortals." ”

Mormayne nodded and said, "Okay, I'll organize the evacuation of the refugees, to be honest, it's really nerve-wracking to raise so many people." Our wizards, warlocks, and druids have had to devote a great deal of energy to the stuff of feeding and drinking them, and there are already many complaints below. ”

Gronia reminded: "Be careful with your posture ......"

In the mountains and forests about dozens of kilometers away from this underground city, several dead people squeezed out of the air and quickly dug into the ground, digging a large pit in a moment, and several corpses were lying in it, both men and women.

The deceased were all wearing tight-fitting soft armor, and the slender and pretty-faced suing deceased muttered: "Sylvie's gang of people are very unprofessional, and they have to dig a pit to bury people in such a hurry." ”

Another girl, who was shorter and plumper than her, said, "Your Highness, have you forgotten that you are also an adventurer? ”

It was obviously Tina, who was addressed to Her Highness, and she shrugged her shoulders and said, "I, when I was an adventurer, I killed someone and burned it directly with a bottle of insect acid or a fiery gel." ”

The witch of death pinched her voice and laughed strangely: "I used to be so evil!"

The girl next to her was Katie, and she said angrily: "That's why His Highness is so poor that he dies all day long." ”

Tina choked and followed everyone to dig the dirt sullenly.

She followed the group that was tracking Gronya with the elite team of the dead, and after Gronia left some people to break off, she was quickly killed by the gang, and she decided to get some information from the dead.

There's a magical character in her squad who brings the dead back to life.

"This ......"

Katie pointed to the top of the pile and said, "Try and save." ”

It was a very young girl, with round eyes, an open mouth filled with dirt, and an inconspicuous penetrating wound on her chest.

Drag the girl into a corner, fill the wound with slime ointment, and stimulate the body and soul with life potion and pain holy water, respectively, and Katie uses the death shock to pull the soul.

After a long period of busyness, the girl gasped violently, and then coughed violently, and her body began to convulse.

Tina muttered, "Katie, you're a soul healer, how many are you?"

Katie grinned and said, "This is the fourth from Mayne." ”

Tina nodded: "Very good, you will love lizards with another one." ”

"It's not for Her Highness Catherine, how can it be so easy to take the lizard," Katie sighed, "She, like Mayne, is not really dead, but is near-dead." It wasn't that the people who killed them were in a hurry and buried them casually, and it was impossible to save them. ”

Tina's eyes lit up: "Then let's make a bet, when you get the Love Lizard, you will pay me 1,000 contribution points." ”

Katie whispered, "Your Highness, you've scavenged thousands of contribution points from us along the way!"

Tina let out a bored sigh and turned to the girl who was regaining consciousness.

"I'm ...... Ismat Paladin, Olesha ......"

The girl was still dazed, grabbed Tina's hand and asked eagerly, "Your Highness, is Her Highness the Holy Maiden safe?"

"Holy Maiden, do you mean Gronia?"

"We don't know, it's not the time for you to ask questions, we ask, you answer, wait......"

She remembered something, reached out to the girl, rubbed her thumb and forefinger, and said, "Thank you for the resurrection fee and a hundred Brad gold coins." ”
