Shen Yan originally thought that he would see tens of thousands of people fighting for life and death!

See the royal legion on the verge of despair, but still relying on the shield of divine power to sacrifice life and death! See blood-stained faces, eyes of fear and courage, roars of fighting spirit, smashing swords of steel, soldiers fighting bravely, and ...... Countless corpses!

Based on what he had seen and heard in the fortress, it was hard to believe that the royal legions would flee without a fight, and even the Emperor could not order them to do so! Because the Royal Legion is made up of the most enthusiastic and radical young men.

Yet there is nothing in the valley...... Compared to the demon army that crowds out of the valley like an off-duty subway, it's so empty that it feels unreal...... What stopped the demon army was actually the hundreds of huge stone elements that had been summoned in the valley. They relied on their large, hard bodies to keep the demons firmly at both ends of the valley. Then grab the boulder on the ground and smash down the wurm flying in the sky.

It turns out that the shield is not only for protection, but also to block the view of the Demon Overseers - no matter how many ordinary demons rush in, there is no way for the demons to report upwards. In other words, it may take the demon's commander to bulldoze the valley before he realizes that the shield is empty!

Shen Yan stood here, also confused.

It stands to reason that this should be the residence of His Majesty the Emperor. But he found no tents, no horses, no vehicles, no soldiers and no weapons...... Except that there are indeed a large number of walking traces on the ground, it seems that everything has disappeared without a trace with the army of 10,000!

The valley was empty, and Shen Yan searched for a long time, but only picked up a lost horseshoe...... Made, it turns out that there are already horseshoes? He casually threw away the piece of pig iron, originally thinking that this world horse has six legs and can make a small fortune.

Fortunately, both he and Penny knew a lot about the workings of divine power, and they turned around and realized that no matter what the core of this hood was, the real divine power was not supplied from there. The divine power here seems to have been extracted from a certain source of belief - it seems very clear when you think of the situation in the Constance family. It would be terrible if the source was the empire-wide belief in the Constance family...... This shroud, along with those Golems, will probably last forever!

What will it be called in the future? Golem Valley?

Compared with those huge stone figures with a height of more than ten meters, Shen Yan was as inconspicuous as a citizen who ran out of the Lilliputian Kingdom. But when those huge stone men walked past him, they didn't look at him, it seemed that the attack mode was set to demons?

"Shen Yan, look over there? If there is any answer, it must be in that direction. Penny reminded. Seeing that the situation was beyond her imagination, she also became interested. The point, of course, is that it is not dangerous in the valley.

Shen Yan turned his head and saw that in the hinterland of the valley about a few kilometers away, there seemed to be a faint platform?

*****

"Stop!"

Shen Yan subconsciously reined in the horses. A gust of wind blew through the valley, and he couldn't help but shiver.

On the stone platform, he finally saw people - but as far as the eye could see...... It's all dead! Dead soldiers! They were dressed in damaged armor, their weapons were still clenched in their hands, and their faces were hideous...... It seems that at the moment of death, he is still waving at the enemy!

However, there are no enemies here - the demons are still beyond the valley, and Golem will not attack humans...... Who did this to you? Shen Yan looked around blankly, there might be thousands of corpses here! They just swung their weapons into the air before they died, and then they died the next. It's not that Shen Yan hasn't seen dead people, it's not that he hasn't been to the battlefield, he feels that he has become numb...... But at this moment, he knew that he was still far away!

What's going on?

"Look at their hands, the patterns on the ground, and the wounds! Shen Yan, this is a premeditated sacrificial ceremony! ”

Penny was the first to notice - first of all, the corpses were in awkward positions, especially the way they held their weapons...... A soldier who has been trained all year round should not be so armed. And almost all of the people who died had problems...... Some fingers were broken, and some wrists were broken.

It's not like dying in battle, it's like a weapon was stuffed into your hand after death!

The second suspicion is the wound! Although everyone was scarred, the fatal wounds of the vast majority of them were on the back and side - they were escorted and killed from the back! And if you look closely, you will also find that they do not have deep calluses on their hands...... These people were not soldiers of the Royal Legion.

"Why do they seem to be laughing?" Shen Yan looked down at a corpse and found that he was gritting his teeth hard, and the muscles of his cheeks bulged, but his expression was not hideous. The whole person looks like a heroic sacrifice rather than a murderous death.

"It's holy water," Penny sighed, "and they've been poured with a high concentration of holy water in advance, and they've been killed after falling into a sweet dream. Drinking holy water has another benefit, in addition to being confusing...... Such a corpse, the devil does not eat! In the future, people will find these bodies...... Also, look at the patterns on the ground! If I'm not mistaken, all the corpses have patterns underneath, and this is actually a blood sacrifice ritual for the lower planes! ”

"Someone wants to cover up the truth!" Shen Yan said angrily.

Just as his words fell, he heard a loud "boom"! The white divine power shield above his head was shattered - there was a "person" who cut off the divine power supply of the shield!

After losing the light shield, even the stone giant could not stop the momentum of the attack, and the demons poured into the valley of Huitou like a tide from both ends! Shen Yan looked up and saw that the hovering "dark clouds" were rolling into a skyscraper funnel, and countless bipedal flying dragons were rushing down!

“…… This time, the demon's corpse is also there. Looking at those tireless and self-fighting stone giants, and the low-level demons who were killed in a dozen ways, Shen Yan had already guessed what kind of scene people would see in the future - a battlefield full of demon corpses, royal legion corpses and rubble, and it could be inferred that both sides would die together after the battle! In order to prevent the demons from desecrating their corpses, the soldiers of the Royal Legion drank a high concentration of holy water before dying......

"There's no time! Come on! Penny urged, discolored.

If this valley is filled with countless demons, Shen Yan will be blocked even if there is a "temple returning to the city" at that time, because he will not be able to come back.

"Wait, where are you going?"

Shen Yan got back on the horse, but instead of stepping on the cliff and rushing out, Shen Yan turned around and ran towards the center of the square.

"Go get something!" Shen Yan said on the back of a galloping horse.

The closer he got to the center of the square, the more his sensitive nose smelled a stench of sulfur! It was a smell he had often smelled in his correspondence with Filna......

"It's the smell of hell, someone has opened a portal here...... Damn it! I know! "Jeremy Constance and his royal legion are not here to summon demons! On the contrary - they opened the portal and went to Hell - which means that the Emperor himself and the legion are temporarily safe, and they can sit back and watch the tiger fight!

If expected, the Guards who left parallel to the city wall will not turn around to assist in the defense of the fortress! It is likely that he will go directly north to control the imperial capital and stabilize the political situation, and then watch the gods scramble to clean up the mess and wait for the emperor himself to summon...... His Majesty the Emperor thought that everything was done seamlessly, but he definitely didn't expect that there would be a Shen Yan in the middle!

"What the hell are you looking for?"

"This!" When he was about to reach the center of the square, Shen Yan suddenly used a "rock flying fist" to smash a pile of corpses open, revealing the golden color hidden underneath! He bent down on his horse, dragged the gold-armored corpse out of the pile with his horsepower, and then swept away in a puff of smoke!

"Look what I've found, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
