Chapter 81: The Land of the Dead

Several prepared diplomats ushered the guests into a common room, and Rhaegar looked back at Ian and Qi Xiao, the three of them standing in front of the Betsy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qi Xiao looked at the beast in front of him that twisted its body and kept howling in the wind, and frowned: "Tiamat, I seem to have heard of this name?" ”

"Of course you've heard of it, it's like the cow in Norse mythology, Brahma in Hindu mythology, or God in Jewish mythology." Ian said with a smile.

"But she's on the evil side." Rhaegar reminded with a frown.

"Actually, it's all about the same, in fact, almost all of these myths have the shadow of Sumerian mythology, and in my opinion, I can't figure out that most creation myths are derived from Sumerian mythology." Ian said nondeniably.

Rhaegar stopped pestering, knowing that Ian, a magician, didn't believe in God very much, but his knowledge could never compete with him, so he wisely chose to change the subject.

"Well, I'm showing you this, in fact, it proves that we haven't been idle during the time you left." Rhaegar gestured to the monstrous beast.

"Jacques and those Frenchmen are a bunch of idiots." Rhaegar glanced in the direction of the French garrison and said in a deep voice.

He pointed to the bipedal pterodactyl shivering in front of him under the wind: "We don't need to send any expedition troops at all. ”

"This winged wyvern can't resist the shock and sonic boom of our fixed-wing fighters, in other words, we already have air supremacy on this planet, and we can't bomb whatever we want?"

Rhaegar did not hesitate to show his contempt and said disdainfully.

Qi Xiao nodded: "This is good news. ”

As a magician who has been deeply influenced by traditional British policies, Ian certainly did not want to miss this opportunity to fight his old opponent, he sighed slightly and shook his head: "Many times, it is really difficult for you to understand the behavior of the French. ”

A small chuckle tugged at the corner of Rhaegar's mouth and nodded.

Americans are also full of confusion about this country that shows itself to be different everywhere, sings against the United States when it is at its strongest, withdraws from NATO when it is at its strongest, and fights a war in Libya that hurts others and disadvantages others despite the opposition of the United States, and often has a lot of brains and whimsical ideas.

He coughed lightly and nodded: "But fortunately, this time they sent the most legitimate troops in the entire French army, the Foreign Legion." ”

"Their soldiers were all made up of foreigners, not French."

"But their commanders and diplomats are all French." Ian reminded.

"Yes......" Rhaegar sighed, "we were able to survive such a terrible war before, but so quickly, we lost a full five hundred soldiers. ”

"It's because the French wanted to be the first to explore the continent, and I really doubt that they thought it was still the Middle Ages, and the first person to plant a flag on the ground would be able to occupy the planet?"

He turned his head and looked at Qi Xiao and Ian: "You guys are doing a good job, Lagash has provided us with a lot of useful things, maybe there are other cities on this planet that can be handled according to the rules in the future." ”

"Even if we don't have the next one, we might be able to make some." Ian replied with a smile.

"How?" Rhaegar was a little puzzled.

"Pick a story, create contradictions between the two sides, stir up conflicts, buy a few public or prophetic speakers, and then a just savior comes, don't you often do that in the past?" Qi Xiao looked at Rhaegar with an inexplicable expression.

"Hmph, we don't need it here at all, with our technology, we can walk sideways like crabs on this planet." Rhaegar said with a little annoyance.

"It's not that you don't need to, it's that it's impossible, I advise you not to dream." Qi Xiao became impatient and ruthlessly pierced Rhaegar's imagination.

"This is not Southeast Asia, it is not the Middle East, except for Lagash and Kutakutu in Negar, the other city-states are under the rule of Anu, they are like a whole country."

"Don't you feel the power of Anu?" Qi Xiao pointed to the sky and asked unceremoniously.

Rhaegar was stunned and nodded solemnly.

Soon after they settled on this planet, Rhaegar felt the power that pervaded every corner of the planet, the god of the sky, Anu, whose coercion permeated every corner of the planet like the pulse of the planet, or the existence and operation of the universe itself.

Everyone had a certain presence in their hearts, but no one wanted to think about what would happen if they faced Annu head-on.

Qi Xiao was the first to face reality.

After a long silence, Rhaegar spoke again: "Okay, later, later, now our topic is how to help Jacques and attack Kutakutu." ”

"Is the map of Kutakutu made?" Qi Xiao turned his head and asked.

"It's drawn, I'll take you to the combat command room to see it." Rhaegar nodded.

The three of them returned to the conference room, and Rhaegar opened the map on the wall. On a peninsula, the elongated terrain is full of black and gray colors, and it is a country of dense forests, high mountains, and large swamps.

"That's 300,000 square kilometers." Qi Xiao looked at the screen and said quietly, "How many people are there?" ”

"According to the images sent back by the drone, most of the people living there are not ordinary creatures." Rhaegar picked up the remote control and changed to a picture, and a monster that looked like a giant bear, but with a bloated body and pus-filled behind it, appeared on the screen.

"This creature, our scientists gave them the name "Freaks, but we soon discovered that humans are too unimaginative." Rhaegar continued to click a few times, and a bunch of strange creatures continued to appear on the screen.

"Compared to these, how can that bear be considered deformed, it is simply not serious."

"And what should we call this monster?" Qi Xiao pointed to the screen, the monster on it was covered in scales, completely devoid of limbs and heads in the human concept, it looked like a pile of mud dried by air.

"Absurd." Rhaegar admitted, "We can't find any adjectives. ”

"Oh, this thing is clothed." Qi Xiao snatched the remote control in Rhaegar's hand and switched a screen. It was a skeletal creature on all fours, with only a few muscles at the joints, but with strands of cloth on its body.

"Yes, these skeletal creatures are called sacrificial monsters, and although they live in forests and swamps, they have some intelligence, know how to pray, sacrifice, and ask Negar for favors."

The three of them looked through most of the images, and the picture in the picture was eerie, with sewage flowing sideways and full of haze, even through the screen, it seemed that they could smell the burning and fishy smell that permeated the other side, and it was completely lifeless.

All kinds of monsters devour each other there, fight each other, and survive there completely by the instinct to kill.

"In short, they're basically not human, they're all monsters." Qi Xiao concluded.

"Don't they have humanoids?"

"Yes." Rhaegar nodded, "It's pretty much the same as we've seen, some berserkers, and the dark cultists of Negar, who live in the southernmost city, if that's called a city as well. ”

Rhaegar clicked on a video filled with mist, slowly releasing an aura of fear, and in the ruins, some humans were living in harmony with the monsters, surrounded by flesh and corpses.

"It's a cemetery." Qi Xiao made a judgment.

"Kutacutu is originally the meaning of the underworld in the Sumerian language." Ian explained.

Qi Xiao lowered his head and thought alone for a while, then raised his head and asked reluctantly: "Has your plane been in contact with them, is there still a possibility of peace between us and Negar?" ”

Rhaegar nodded helplessly, then shook his head: "It's not that we haven't considered peace talks, even though the opponent is a madman. ”

"But it's really hard to communicate with those fanatical militants, and we have hundreds of planes that are shouting at those people day and night, but their reaction is to curse us in turn, and they gather troops and poke our drones with spears......"

"So...... We only have one option right now? Ian took a step forward with his staff, his eyes on the two of them.
