Chapter 81: Message from Ammon
Kurban sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at the bonfire in front of him. The leaping flames reminded him of last night's dream—two suns appearing at the same time on the towering horizon, one hanging in the middle of the sky, the other constantly jumping on the top of the mountain.
Unlike the scorching heat of the sun in the middle of the world, the sun in the northern mountains is only warm and bright. He wanted the dream to be real, so that he could seek and feel that warm place for himself, instead of wandering aimlessly through the world.
"Your Excellency, as you might expect, we have spotted a lot of manta rays ahead!" Ma Qiang walked over and saluted respectfully. As the captain of the guard, Ma Qiang always dedicates himself to every task given to him by Kurban and is always full of passion.
Kurban thinks the reason is that Ma Qiang has his own career and goals - to obey himself and please himself. Unfortunately, Ma Qiang didn't know that his boss was struggling with these problems.
But Kurban was not completely directionless, and at least one thing that could make him happy, and that was to keep everyone fighting, and in those atmospheres of fear and passion, he could feel all the strength of Rao slowly growing.
"Send people to continue searching the surroundings and find those manta caves. And then ......" Kurban stood up and broke a branch. "Wipe out those brutes!"
……
In the royal city of Gaia, Queen Mia rarely walked out of her palace and walked on the outskirts of the royal city. Those enthusiastic people were only allowed to stay 100 meters away and were not allowed to make loud noises.
Mia covered the sun above her brow with her hands and looked out at the mountains to the north, a dangerous place where the perennial poisonous miasma had completely isolated humanity from the southern side of the mountains. In addition to the poisonous miasma, there are many fierce beasts and poisonous insects. Even a flower or a piece of grass can easily kill you.
Lately, she has felt a call from the far north more and more intensely. She knew she was going to leave soon. But before that, she had to have a strong body.
Wearing his trademark black robes, Aemon staggered from a distance with his rotten footsteps.
"People like you should stay in a cool, comfortable place, Aemon. Rather than being exposed to the sun at will. Mia teased.
"Come on, Your Majesty, it won't be long before I can hide in a cool and comfortable place forever." Aemon gasped. "But for now, I'm going to report something important to you as soon as possible."
Mia looked at him strangely, feeling his mood - indeed, the old friend was now terrified, and it seemed that something big had happened. It's a pity that she can't read Ammon's mind directly.
"Your Majesty, a strange team of humans has appeared on the south side of the Ten Thousand Caves Mountains, and they are surrounding and killing the batmen there. Also, their methods are extremely cruel and like to kill them all. ”
"Oh, have you investigated their identities?"
"Yes, I'm sure they don't belong to any of His Highness's forces, nor are they members of the Black Knights or Pioneers."
"How is that possible?" Mia blurted out.
"Yes, Your Majesty. According to the description, whether it is the clothing, the language, or the way of fighting, they are very different from our warriors. ”
"You mean—they're not human?" Mia frowned.
"It's supposed to be human, and there is a slight difference in appearance, but it's almost negligible."
"Go ahead and tell me everything you know." Mia's expression became solemn.
Emon nodded and said, "There are probably more than a hundred of them, many men and women, and they are poorly equipped. Never heard from them before, as if they appeared in our world out of thin air. ”
"Could it be...... Are they humans from their home planet? Mia remembered that the retro factions had once claimed to have sent messages to a world called "Mother Star". But that was a long time ago, and the retro scholars had long since turned to dirt, and even Mia, who had been involved in the whole process, had long since forgotten about it.
"Home planet?" Aemon didn't know about it.
"It's okay, you go ahead, who is their leader?" Mia said.
"It's a tall human named Kurban."
"How's the strength?" Mia asked casually.
"The strength is not stable, but it should be no less than your highnesses."
"Your strength is no less than that of the twelve princesses? Wouldn't he be able to compete with me?! ”
"No, his strength is far inferior to that of you, Your Majesty, and even far inferior to that of an ordinary knight chief. But in battle, he unleashed your majesty's unique and noble lightning. ”
"What?!" Mia exclaimed in surprise, the white, lightning-like white light that was almost her own signature. Now there is a man who also has this ability, which makes Mia very annoyed. What worries her even more is that she once thought that all the power of humanity was in her hands, and this Kurban was obviously an outlier.
"Humph! Those damn retro factions are really some guys who have more than enough to do and more than to lose! Mia sneered and muttered again, "Kurban, I hope you can successfully pass the level of the batman leader Feiyin." Then, I'll come and meet you in person. ”
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing......" said Eamon again.
"That's enough, Aemon, let's talk about it later." Mia said impatiently, thinking that her calm mind had been completely disturbed by the unruly Emmon.
"But...... You may also be interested. Aemon rubbed his hands nervously.
"Okay, but this time, I'll see for myself!" As soon as Mia finished, some thin bolts of electricity appeared on her hands.
When Aemon raised his head, his old face trembled.
Mia gently pressed her palm on Eamon's head, and the lightning immediately danced around Eamon's body.
In just a few breaths, Mia took her palm away, but this time, her tone was clearly excited and happy: "Very good, Aemon, very good!" Let me keep an eye on him. I prefer this young Rao news to that hateful Kurban. Go down, call me Bren, I have something to tell her. ”
Emmon's face was dripping with cold sweat, as if he had just been seriously ill. But he was also glad that the Lord was in a good mood, and hurriedly nodded his head to receive his life.
In a short time, Mia was already sitting in her own palace of the moon god, and she waited impatiently for Bren. When light footsteps rang out outside, Mia waved open the palace door.
"Mother, what are you looking for me?" Before Brun could appear, some reluctant voices came in.
Mia didn't mind, because Bren hadn't been guided by herself, or reformed, like her sisters. As is often the case, children who lack maternal love are often rebellious.
Soon, a young, energetic body flashed through the door, and it was none other than Bren.
