Chapter 1549: Climate Abrupt Change
readx;?“ Die! Ledo roared, and the tower-like figure fell from the sky, slashing off the head of the giant insect with the serrated war knife in his hand. The light green insect blood of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info spurted out like a spring, sprinkling the imperial general's body. The acidic blood fell on the general's armor, and immediately sizzled, wisps of light smoke rose, and the armor eroded shallow pits. Ledo didn't care, this bit of acidity naturally didn't give him attention. Turning around and swinging a few knives, the blade slashed out a few dark red knife lights, cutting the hundreds of self-exploding ants that crawled out of the surrounding buildings into pieces.
"That's a lot of these annoying things." Ledo muttered as a band of Shadows rushed in, using their chariots to quickly build a street line against the self-exploding ants that crawled out of the other streets, as well as giant bees whistling from the sky. Ledo was not idle, and threw himself into the colony with a loud roar. The sword slashed through it, and a blank space was cleared. With the Imperial General in charge, the battle of the Shadow Army is much easier. Although there are many of these bugs, they are not comparable to the combat power of the Imperial Generals, and it is only a matter of time before they are all wiped out.
After slaying a piece of bug, Ledo looked at the nest of peaks in the mountains. Pretty had been in the hive for a while, and Ledo didn't know what was inside, but had near-blind faith in Dashline. It was the strength of the first general that he had shown in countless battles, which brought absolute trust to his subordinates like Ledo. Unless he faced the Supreme, Ledo couldn't think of anyone who could defeat Dashline.
Of course, the new lord of the empire who has now gone to the eastern tier cities is probably an exception. Although he was not yet the Supreme, from the body of the young emperor, Ledo felt no less pressure than the Supreme.
A scream.
Ledo heard the sound and saw that a pitch-black knife light suddenly rushed from above the hive. The sword light shot up into the sky like black lightning, and the swarm of bees hovering above the city was rushed out of a huge gap by this sword light. Then the source force in the sword light spread in all directions, splitting into thousands of source force jets, and tearing the swarm of bees above to pieces. Countless giant bee corpses kept falling, like a heavy rain. At this time, a loud rumbling sound continued to sound in Ledo's ears, and the huge hive was disintegrating, and cracks were winding down from the peak of the sword light. The outer wall of the hive cracked and slipped down, like a landslide, and from the collapsed hive, you can see a dense swarm of bees escaping in all directions.
The hive cracked and fell off until the second half of the hive, and the surrounding area was filled with dust and corpses falling into the fragments of the nearby hive. A pair of steel boots landed on several overlapping pieces, and Dashline put away her mask and looked up. A huge black shadow fell from above, and it fell into the ruins, but silently. It was a corpse, the corpse of the queen bee, which had been torn open by Dashlin's slash, and now only the fat abdomen was connected, and the part below the abdomen had been dissected, and the surprisingly large head had been split in half, and the brain inside had already been drained. The queen bee is the leader of the swarm, and it seems to coordinate the swarm's actions in the hive. Now that the queen bee is dead, although the swarm will not die immediately, it will obviously become disorderly after losing the queen's command. The giant bees no longer act in swarms, but blindly rush left and right. The giant insects that were as big as the mountain pack also began to crawl out of the city, and the self-exploding ants that were scurrying around exploded even in their own swarms. The leaderless swarm was no longer a threat, and even the Imperial generals did not need to participate, and the Shadow Army drove the swarm out of the city under the command of a subordinate officer.
Ledo came to the vicinity of the hive and saw Davelyn in the distance. Dafrien picked at the queen bee's head with the Dark Devil's Sword, looking at some of the still wriggling brain tissues with a thoughtful expression. Ledo walked to his side, touched his head, and said, "This thing is really big." ”
Dashline stabbed into the queen bee's brain, and immediately felt a faint will, she squinted and said, "This is the head of the swarm, but above it, I sense that there is a higher level of existence." ”
"Your Excellency, you mean that these things are controlled by humans?"
"Don't you think they behave a bit like the military? And these things, the same kind all have the same shape, and they are simply mass-produced weapons. Daveline looked at the ruined Cape City, the light of the fire shining on her frosty face, "Besides, I care about their behavior. Invade, kill the city's inhabitants, draw energy, and build their own buildings. If we hadn't arrived, maybe the next step would have been to produce more soldiers. No, absolutely, I've seen that in the hive. Cape City will become their base and then expand into the depths of the Empire. Ledo, what do you think of this behavior? ”
The Imperial General looked stunned and said, "Isn't this a standard planetary invasion procedure?" ”
"That's right, that's it."
While the two were talking, an officer hurried over and shouted at Dashline from afar, "Oh no, General. Several cities, such as War Horn, Ironclad City, Dilong Castle, and Wells Territory, have all been attacked, and they have all fallen one after another! ”
The wind blew, and Defline's eyes ached. She squinted her eyes and looked at the dim night sky: "Where did these things come from!" ”
Forsaken Realm.
This year, for some reason, the temperature in the relics is a little lower than usual. For the strong, maybe this temperature difference is not much different, but not all the strong people in the relic. On the edge of the Great Wasteland, for example, there are tens of thousands of civilians living in various towns. Even though the temperature drop here is smaller, it is also quite uncomfortable for the residents of the town.
Civilians living on the fringes may last for decades, and spend most of their lives in this land of polar night. But even the vast majority of them didn't know that there were other inhabitants of the Remnant besides them.
It was the various alien tribes that inhabited the middle of the Relic Territory after the Rhodo Pass.
These tribes owe allegiance to the lord of the castle in the valley, and under Alice's protection, they have thrived for more than a millennium. They are the true inhabitants of the Relics, and they are naturally very adaptable to the environment of the Relics. However, the recent worsening weather has caused these residents to feel unwell. In some tribes, there are even frail and old people who have died one after another, which is unprecedented in the history of the tribe.
The patriarch of each clan was in fact Alice's general, and for the first time after the climate became harsh, all the generals gathered together spontaneously without Alice's summoning, and the place was the castle of the Glen. They wanted to meet Alice, but the butler politely refused on the grounds that Alice had gone to Kanon Black Gate and that her return was uncertain.
Hearing this news, the generals' faces were naturally not very good. Although Alice is not in the castle, the castle is still open to the generals. In the castle hall, several generals gathered around to discuss the environmental changes in the relics, but to no avail.
At this time, Tongwu walked towards the gate. The Spider Empress raised her head and said softly, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go find an adult."
"My lord went to the Black Gate."
"I know." Then, as always, without explanation, Tongwu pushed the door open, and the cold wind blowing from outside the door made even the generals feel a chill.
"I'll go with you." Yami said.
Tongwu shook his head.
"Why?"
"If I go, I may not die. If you go, you will definitely die. "Tongwu, who has always spoken very little, has talked a lot today. After saying this, he stopped talking, and the burly figure disappeared outside the gate.
After leaving the castle, Tongwu moved forward silently.
A few days later, there was a barren plain in front of Tongwu. The ground was cold and hard, and once barefoot Alice walked here, and now Tongwu walked the same path as her. Kanon Black Gate is a forbidden place in the Relics, and even Alice's general is forbidden to go there. Only the first general to follow Alice, that is, Tongwu, followed Alice to the Black Gate once a long time ago. But even that time, Tongwu only stopped in front of the Abyss Bridge. Across that abyss, looking at the Black Gate in the distance.
The silent journey continued, but at noon the next day, Tongwu saw a figure. There won't be any life on the plains, so seeing a figure here, whatever it is, is enough to attract Tongwu's attention. Tong Wu was even ready for battle, but when the figure approached, he was surprised.
"Is that you?" Tongwu said in a deep voice: "I remember you, you are Lord Allen's subordinate. ”
"Yes, my name is Mitinas." It was the Abyssal Fire that appeared in front of Tongwu, and Mitinas asked in an emotionless tone, "May I ask you a question, Mr. Tongwu?" ”
Tongwu stopped, he didn't refuse, he just accepted. Mitinas was not polite and asked, "What lies ahead, in the depths of the Relics?" ”
Tongwu didn't answer and asked: "Why do you ask that?" ”
"Mr. Tongwu must have also discovered that the climate of the Relics has been changing lately, and it is developing from a bad side," said Mitinas. Of course, it doesn't affect me, but with this bad weather comes a will. I was sensitive to the spiritual sense, and I sensed that the will was coming from the depths of the relics. ”
"That's why you're here?"
"Yes," Mitinas admitted, "that's why I'm here. But I couldn't go any further, the will had given a warning. It wasn't a clear warning, but I knew that if I approached it again, it would destroy me. It was total destruction, and I was curious, but I had a more important mission, so I heeded the warning and stopped. I was going to go back, but when I saw Mr. Tongwu here, it seems that your intention is the same as mine. But judging by the way you look, I should know more than I do. ”
"You are right to heed the warning, Mitinas, I can only tell you. In the depths of the Relic is the Black Gate of Canon, which is the forbidden place of the Relic. Mistress Alice is there, and I'm going to meet her at the Black Gate. As for the rest, please forgive me for not being able to reveal any more. Tongwu rarely said a big call.
