Chapter 1218: The End (Part II)
This guy ...... Can actually speak human words!
When the earl was helped up by the guards, he only felt that his face was hot and ugly - he intended to show his majesty in front of his subordinates, and at the same time to build confidence for other nobles, but he was frightened to the ground by a roar, and what was even more unbearable was that the other party was only one person.
Damn it, I'm going to kill this bastard!
Marvien gritted his teeth and raised his hand, and just as he was about to give the order to shoot, the old bachelor suddenly grabbed him, blinked vigorously, and spat out two words - "calm down".
The Count was stunned for a moment, then reacted. Indeed, since the other party can speak, there is the possibility of communication. If you can communicate, it means trading and negotiating. The situation is still uncertain, and there is really no need to preemptively act. Sure enough, he was still influenced by the Gray Castle people, and preconceived the other party as an invincible enemy.
If you think about it, whether it's a devil or not, being alone may in itself represent an attitude, like an ambassador for humanity.
Otherwise, why didn't it move for a long time, but deliberately chose a place where it could stand still at eye level with the city wall?
If the other party was really as cruel and ferocious as Grey Castle said, it should have been looted and killed a long time ago - the surrounding villages and towns were not protected by ice chasms and walls.
The more Ma Weien thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, if he killed the messenger and made a feud with the so-called "devil" first, wouldn't it be exactly what the people of Greycastle wanted?
However, just now he swore that he wanted the other party to kneel down and obey him, but now he wants to communicate with the other party on an equal footing, and this face-faced earl is really difficult to pull down for a while.
Fortunately, the old scholar saw his hesitation, and took the initiative to take a step forward and said, "What a rude person! Since you know how to speak, you should indicate your identity and intention at the beginning! Fortunately, Your Excellency is merciful and willing to give you a chance to start over—what are you doing here?"
Well done, Ma Weien secretly praised in his heart, worthy of the steward dug from the royal capital, the salary of ten golden dragons was not given in vain.
"Before I do that, I want to ask you one thing," the devil's voice returned to its normal size, "and you and the humans of the Fertile Plains...... What's the relationship?"
Where is that? A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, their faces are full of inexplicability.
However, this remark also gave Ma Weien a bottom - this monster is indeed a messenger.
"I don't know what you mean by the fertile plain," said the old scholar again, "just as the same land, the north calls the south, and the south calls the north." This is true in one kingdom, let alone you and me. Only by bringing me a map can I give you an accurate answer. ”
"No, that's your human name, and I just used it. The other party shook his head slightly, "So that's the case...... You are still standing in different cities as you did hundreds of years ago, like a plate of scattered sand, which is why you are so slow to react. In vain, I expect you to be helpless and terrified, shouting that this is impossible, and at the same time unable to do anything about the coming of "fate". ”
What does that mean? It's like acting...... The Count couldn't help but frown, and for a moment, he seemed to catch a hint of disappointment in the strange face of the other man.
"Is it possible...... You mean the Grey Castle people?" the Chief Knight asked suddenly.
"Huh?" the devil looked at him.
"They have been saying that when the red moon comes, the devil will appear from hell. Now they are indeed frightened and fleeing, and they have long since run away. "Of course, if you're quick enough, you might be able to meet them in the harbor to the east." ”
"Really?" it looked to the east and then looked back, "I'll go, but not now." Since you don't know anything about the Fertile Plains, I'll cut it short. ”
"I am the Lord of the Celestial Vault, the commander of the Western Front Army. Thousands of years ago, you and I made a pact of protection against witches and their subordinates. You are in charge of our people, fighting under our command, and in return you are the power and wealth of the human realm. This pact does not expire and will not end until it is destroyed—and you, as the inheritors of humanity, should continue to serve our people. The Devil's voice was loud again, as if the whole city could hear it, "Now I ask you to dedicate this city according to the covenant, and to serve me at once!"
I'm afraid this guy is crazy...... Earl Marvion was dumbfounded when he heard it, what kind of thousand-year covenant, a one-year-old contract can be denied, who cares about you thousands of years ago. Also the commander of the Western Front Army, which lord did not send an envoy to talk first, and ran to his city alone to make nonsense, there must be a limit to nonsense!
"What if I don't agree?" was so rude that he couldn't stand it.
"Death will bring you to your knees. The devil, who claimed to be the Lord of the Heavens, looked up, "Look, that's fate. ”
The Count looked up, and saw that a mist had risen in the mountains in the distance. It was not uncommon for fog to rise on the Desperate Mountains, but this fog was like blood, and it was terrifyingly red. He didn't know if it was an illusion of the red moon or if the fog itself had a color.
Another strange thing is that the red mist over the cliff does not float in mid-air, but slowly flows down from between the peaks, forming a hazy "waterfall".
Could it have been waiting for this moment to wait for the right moment?
Ma Weien vaguely felt a little uneasy, looking at his nervous and whispering subordinates, he knew that if he didn't do anything, people's hearts would be unstable.
"Just you?" the Count gritted his teeth and waved his hand violently, "I've already given you a chance, let go of the arrow!"
The knight and the guard were stunned for a few moments before they suddenly came to their senses, and they all pressed the trigger and crowbar, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows of different sizes buzzed into the air and shot straight towards the devil—
But all the arrows were missed.
The crowd could hardly believe what was happening in front of them, only to see it disappear through a black hole and into thin air on the stone pillar.
"Damn, that's the effect of magic," the chief knight muttered, "they're no different from witches!"
"Don't be afraid, we are all wearing the Divine Punishment Stone, and the magic power will not hurt us in the slightest!" Ma Weien clenched the pendant on his chest, "Find it, then kill it!"
"The devil, the devil is there!" shouted one of the guards.
In a matter of moments, it had crossed the barrier formed by the ice abyss and the city wall, and appeared silently in the long street behind the wall.
Being able to overcome the danger in one step, the earl suddenly sounded the alarm in his heart, such a dangerous monster, whether it is a messenger or not, it has to die here - after all, there is only one person on the other side. "Prepare the arrow of the divine stone and deal with it as a witch!
As the knights and guards poured toward it from all directions, the devil slowly raised his arms—
The next moment, a "black curtain" dozens of feet wide bloomed from behind it, cutting off the street and the houses on both sides, and at first glance it looked as if there was suddenly a wall with no thickness on the street.
What the hell did it want to do? The Earl couldn't help but wonder, neither attack nor defense, could it be that it was going to use this ability to hide itself?
But he soon got an answer.
A thick red mist erupted from the black curtain, like a broken river embankment! Then a group of never-before-seen monsters roared out of the black curtain and slammed into the knights who surrounded them—the divine stone did not cause any effect, and the knights vomited blood and flew far away, and their chests were sunken in large chunks, and they couldn't survive.
But this is far from the end, but the beginning of a nightmare.
Monsters continued to appear in the dark curtain, as if they would never stop, they first bowed their heads to the Lord of the Heavens, and then joined in the battle, both in size and strength, these monsters were far above ordinary people, and soon rushed to the top of the city with overwhelming strength. The scuffle turned into a massacre, and the broken-willed guards were torn to shreds one by one, blood and mutilated everywhere.
In less than half an hour, the city was filled with cries of pain and cries for help. Those who were still alive fled out of the city in a panic, but they could not cross the bottomless abyss.
Ma Weien only felt his legs go limp, and he staggered twice and sat down on the ground, but this time no one came to help him.
The guards had been torn in half by the enemy in front of them.
The castle of Snow Ying, which he was so proud of, the territory he inherited from his grandfather's grandfather, fell in just one moment.
The smell of blood filled the sky with a red mist, turning the place into a living hell.
Through the mist, the red moon in the sky became more and more hideous and terrifying.
It turned out that this was the scene of the end times, the count thought at last.
.
The end of the Doomsday War
