Chapter 686: Pale Plague (4,000 words)
It was a sea of bones of the purest of bones, and when they rushed over, they piled up on the towering, ancient Great Wall like white sprays crashing on the edge of a cliff.
Piercing, chaotic, indescribable and indescribable roars rose from the sea of bones.
No, that's not a roar, where can a white bone that has been dead for a thousand years still have the organs to make a sound?
It was the terrible hiss of the foul wind through the cracks of the bones.
Those white bone skeletons, I don't know how many years have been buried, most of them are only empty skeletons, and the eye sockets, inexplicably emitting blood-colored light clusters.
There are also a small number of them, who are still wearing metal armor and carrying heavily corroded weapons in their hands, as if they still retain the fighting posture of their lives.
When the "black sun" came, under the guidance of some abnormal energy, he almost instinctively looked at the dozens of "black dots" above the city wall, side by side.
As the "prey", Nolan, who was holding the city bricks, and the rest of the exploration team were all cold, and the cold air rushed out from the cracks in the bones, as if in an instant, from midsummer to winter.
"This ...... What the hell is this?! Someone in the group shouted, his tone full of horror.
In the face of the almost vast sea of the undead, even elite warriors could hardly maintain their composure.
"The Dead...... ...... of the Dead Are they the ones who died in the cataclysm? But...... Why ......," Nolan muttered, his handsome face filled with fear and doubt.
"Your Highness! Be careful! ”
Suddenly, the gray-robed middle-aged man suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed a rusty metal prick that shot up from under the "abyss", and immediately pulled the lost Nolan back: "They can be thrown!" ”
Feeling the prick stop abruptly in front of him, Nolan broke out in a cold sweat, and instantly came to his senses, and felt the city wall under his feet begin to tremble, the masonry was loosening, and the dust and dust were disintegrating in the cracks.
It was caused by the dead hitting the walls under the abyss.
After all, the walls were too old and unrepaired to withstand the impact.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness! Let's go! ”
In the team, Lu En had already removed his heavy sword, and Qi Lin also tried to hold a brass shotgun to activate his own psionic energy.
I saw that the patterns on the copper pipe lit up, and a "energy bomb" roared down, shattering several skeletons, but compared to the white bones of the ocean, not even a single wave was set off.
"Let's go...... Walk...... No! We can't go! Nolan's lips were blue, and he instinctively took a few steps back, then suddenly clenched his fists and shouted.
He didn't understand what was going on, but now he knew that this was not the time to dwell on the reasons behind it, and the top priority was how to stop these things.
"There's still a wall to defend here, but once we retreat, where are we going to find a similar line of defense? As long as they climb this mountain, and then go north, all the way to the extreme south, and even all the way to the interior of the kingdom, it is all a flat river! ”
In the bewildered gaze of the rest, Nolan gritted his teeth fiercely, and after a moment, shouted:
"Rune! You immediately go to the back, give the order, and mobilize all the troops near the ruins, and those people are the same, immediately start a defense here! Blue! You immediately send a message to the Territory informing the Church that the Ampollio Priest is gone, and that there are others here, so that they can inform the royal capital through the Templar's teleportation circle! ”
The peaks were dim, the light was thinner, but the "black sun" in the sky was clearer.
“…… Be! ”
Hearing Nolan's order, a group of people immediately took action, and Lune handed over the heavy sword to the rest of the people, and he himself rushed backwards, his body lit up with three special armors, and his tall body was like a gale.
"Deep Blue" quickly took out a scroll of paper from his arms, bit his fingertips, wrote it, and then burned it to ashes with a dark blue flame.
……
Far South Territory.
In the castle, the servant in charge of guarding the "communication desk" immediately ran to find the butler after receiving the message, and the latter's demeanor changed dramatically after reading the contents:
"You! Go to the Territory Church now and hand this letter to the church warden! Just go! ”
Sending the man away, the old butler subconsciously clasped his hands together and kept pacing, and it took dozens of seconds before he remembered what to do and walked towards the castle.
However, as soon as he entered the castle corridor, he heard the door of the storage room rattle, as if something was slamming.
With a "click", the door lock was knocked open a gap, and a miserable white hand bone without a trace of flesh and blood poked out!
Immediately, the steward's cry of fear rang out from the castle!
……
……
in that church in the territory.
A stone tablet placed on the altar, based on a complex starry sky, suddenly lit up and revealed a pale golden light, enveloping the entire stone slab, burning, and spitting out a straight pillar of light.
The pillar of light easily pierced the sturdy spire of the church and rose straight into the air.
"This ...... What's going on? The church guard, who was alarmed by this movement, hurriedly ran over, and then looked at this strange pillar of light, dumbfounded.
……
At the same time, in almost all the territories of the three kingdoms, near the edge of the territory, those "pioneers", or the lords under the traditional lords, saw the resurrected spirits from the dark and unknown land almost at the same time.
It's just that compared to the extreme south, there is still a wall to resist, and in many other places, there is none.
The skeletons stormed into the villages, then the towns, attacking everything that was alive around them, harvesting life with the sharp bones of their hands and the rusted iron.
The frightened lords could only shout and deliver letters through the passages of the church or other podiums to the capitals of the three kingdoms.
Almost at the same time, the dark sun fell, and the three kingdoms were full of gunsmoke!
……
Kingdom of Dippispo, northern of the royal capital, headquarters of the Templar.
Cheng Lin looked at the dark sun with some astonishment, and the window that he pushed open was flapping indiscriminately under the action of the wind, stirring up uneasiness.
Compared to the smoke-filled border, the royal capital is still peaceful.
After thousands of years of construction, the entire capital has been completely renovated and rebuilt, and the bones buried underground have long been shattered, even if there are still some scattered in the "collection rooms" of some nobles, but they are not visible for a while.
"That's what it is...... What do you mean by 'prophecy'? Cheng Lin silently withdrew his gaze, looked at the high priest behind him, who was safely shrunk in the chair, and asked.
His heart was full of astonishment, although he had vaguely speculated before, but when he saw the familiar scene appear again, Cheng Lin's expression changed.
He had no idea that the same catastrophe would repeat itself twice.
No!
It's not the same! He squinted, if the last "black sun" was to drain the air of the earth to another world, then this time, it was the opposite!
He clearly felt that there was a gust of wind blowing out of the "black sun"!
Along with it, there is also a rising aura!
This time, it's the other worlds that are pumping air to the world here! And Reiki!
Combined with the "prophecy" in Alcott's mouth, "the reincarnation of the epoch, the end of everything...... If the word reincarnation can be explained, what does "end" mean?
Facing Cheng Lin's questioning, Alcott was unusually calm, the old man's lips moved, and he said, "It's not a prophecy, but a revelation, a revelation that we get from the unknown in the starry sky. ”
"What the hell do you mean? What does the unknown refer to in the starry sky? ”
"It's fate."
Destiny...... Cheng Lin was stunned, a little irritable, unable to calm down, he continued to ask: "What will happen?" ”
Since there is no "pumping" of air this time, the world is not worried about a "global vacuum", and most of the incoming air is mostly aura.
This doesn't seem like a bad thing, it's just ...... A compulsory, aura outburst?
"Nature is the end, the end of the epoch, the end of humanity, the black sun will awaken the dead, your awakening is proof, and this is only the beginning, when the black sun is in the sky, we will follow the orders of the gods and wait for the end to come."
Alcott's old face was flushed, his hands were reverently clasped together, and he spoke in a singing tone, but his eyes were already looking at the dome instead of Cheng Lin.
At the same time, on the gloomy, towering ceiling of the temple, the "stars" that originally seemed to be decorative lit up, one by one, were lit up.
Throughout the base of the cathedral, wisps of thin pale gold light rose, piercing through the partitions and through the spire of the cathedral, shooting into the gloomy sky.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Lin only felt that the uneasiness in his heart became more and more solemn, but on the contrary, the high priest seemed to be just reciting the scriptures with a reverent face, and seemed to be blind to these changes.
"Doomsday? Doomsday, you say? Cheng Lin asked.
But he didn't get an answer, and if he didn't answer, he naturally acquiesced.
Cheng Lin took a deep breath and calmed himself down, after so many deductions, he had encountered a lot of doomsday-level scenes, he quickly calmed down, walked over, and stared at Alcott:
"What apocalypse? Be careful! Perhaps, I can help you. ”
Save the end times or something...... Isn't it the usual practice of deducing the plot?
Cheng Lin thought self-deprecatingly.
However, Alcott only smiled mysteriously:
"No, you can't save anyone, this is a predetermined fate, human beings should have died more than a thousand years ago, at the time of the cataclysm, and now, it's just a matter of letting everything continue to ......"
"I ask you! What is it! "For some reason, looking at this god-like old man, Cheng Lin's heart was inexplicably on fire, and the other party seemed to be unable to communicate!
"Hehehe......" Alcott's pale beard trembled on his old cheeks and stood up with a smile.
His tall body was as tall as a mountain in the light and shadow, but he couldn't bring anyone any sense of security, he looked at Cheng Lin with those dark eyes, and said:
"Let's go back...... You should go back quickly...... Let's sleep in this apocalypse......"
As he spoke, he turned around and walked away, Cheng Lin tried to stop him, but was bounced away by a strong force - he was right, the high priest Alcott's cultivation was higher than him.
Just then, anxious footsteps were heard outside the door, and in an instant, the door was pushed open.
A man dressed in a gray clergyman's robe held a scroll in his hand and shouted in a trembling voice:
"Big ...... High Priest! Oh no! Received letters from churches throughout the Three Kingdoms! Say yes...... Say yes...... Outside the three kingdoms, in the dark realm, there are countless undead who have resurrected, broken into the territory, attacked and killed......"
"Hehehe...... ......However, the high priest Alcott just laughed and left, and disappeared, leaving only the clergyman standing stupidly in place.
Then, the letter in his hand was snatched by Cheng Lin and looked down.
A few seconds later, Cheng Lin raised his head, threw the letter back to the clergyman with a solemn look, and he summoned the He Sword, and flew out of the open window with the method of the Imperial Sword!
"Ahh
When he flew out of the church, he heard only the cries of the clergy in astonishment.
The royal capital was still calm, and those undead could not attack here for a while, and people were still pointing curiously at the air.
Probably thinking it was going to rain, the people on the street began to quickly return to their houses.
However, there were still many people who saw Cheng Lin flying out of the church - in particular, the pale golden beam above the head of the church was so dazzling and eye-catching.
However, because of the high distance, in the eyes of most people, Cheng Lin was only regarded as a somewhat large falcon, but he never thought that he was a person.
"Huhuhu......"
Harnessing the He Sword, Cheng Lin flew towards the sky with a gloomy face.
He dodged the "black sun", thought about it, and headed to the nearest northwest.
On the road before, he looked for the map of the three kingdoms, and knew that this direction of the royal capital was closest to the "wild land".
Under the gloomy sky, Cheng Lin flew with the sword, and the howling wind in his ears gave him a strange illusion of surfing in the raging sea.
The city under his feet quickly became smaller, and the figures turned into "ants", and at this height, Cheng Lin clearly saw that the churches in the royal capital were lit up.
On the spire of each church, a pale golden beam of light rises, and in this dark background, it is extremely striking, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.
"What the hell is this?" Cheng Lin kept his face calm and pondered.
He could only feel the strong spiritual energy contained in those pillars of light, but he didn't know what it was, but Alcott was a dead man who didn't resist and wanted to die with the world, and he was completely helpless.
Cheng Lin was disturbed in his heart, but he felt that this deduction was quite different from the past, the trace of calmness dissipated without a trace, but the irritability in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.
The kingdom of Dippispo is not large, but it does have the area of a province.
Cheng Lin flew with all his might, and it took dozens of minutes before he finally saw the so-called "army of the undead".
From the sky, those pale skeletons were truly boundless, like a torrent that had completely swallowed up a territory.
When Cheng Lin arrived, he saw that the central city of the territory was completely submerged, and the last soldiers of resistance were struggling to die......
A piece of wood wrapped in pale ants.
