Chapter 715
The wind is still changing, and the rain is still pouring down. The rain gradually faded on the side of the retreating Star Spirit Army, while the Burning Legion scattered and fled in all directions in the land that had been ravaged by Chen Feng, but the torrential rain on their side came even more violently. In the face of such bad weather, Zeratul tried to turn the tide, shaking his head incessantly, trying to transfer all the power of nature to the demon's side.
The rain around Zeratul stopped. It was clear that the rainstorm was moving towards Asaline.
Zeratul gasped heavily, and he succeeded.
He fell into the claws of Ophoro. Crassus shouted above him, "Well done, Zeratul! Good job! ”
He had cast amazing spells more than once, but twice, and he should have admired himself, even the demigods of the Calanline Star should have done the same. However, there was only one thing on Zeratul's mind, and that was that he was not able to save Zeling.
And this also makes everything very different. The torrential rain lasted for three days and three nights. Zeratul's desperation has created its ruthlessness, and the relentless rain continues to drive away the Burning Legion. When the rain had cleared, the demons were only two days away from Atherine.
Unfortunately, the Spirits were unable to gather enough forces to chase them far. On the other side of the volcanic area created by Chen Feng, the Star Spirit defenders were recuperating from their injuries while reorganizing their troops. For many, the damage caused by the Tempest, the Soul of Ten Thousand Worms, and other things was nothing compared to Lord Rester's death.
Unable to hold a ceremonial funeral for him, the Star Spirit's commanders had to think of other ways to do so. At Stareye's command, the six-headed insect knight dragged a four-wheeled cart through almost the entire army, on which lay the dead nobleman, with his arms crossed, his headquarters flag in his hands, and a wreath made of night lilies around his body.
In front of the car, a group of soldiers from Heiwu Mountain opened the way in front. Behind is another team of men and horses. Stop the weeping crowd from trying to touch the corpse to prevent the corpse from falling to the ground.
Along the way, the herald blew a mournful horn, warning any star spirits in front of the funeral procession who wanted to come closer.
When all this was done, Lester's body was buried with all those who had died in the land. Zeratul begged Offhoro for help with something terrible, and Ofiro readily agreed.
There were hundreds of astral spirits watching, all of them standing in areas where they could see clearly but were not in danger. Aufilo had only spewed fire once, and despite the dampness around him, he was sure the corpse would burn.
The bodies of Lester and the other dead burned in the raging fire. Zeratul wanted to be alone for a while, but there was one man who was always hanging around him. She was the little girl who tried to rescue Ze Ling.
Santis, as she called herself, was constantly bothering him with questions about when he was going to see Zeling.
Zeratu was very sad in his heart, and he was speechless about her problems, and in order to get rid of her entanglement, he had to let other Ze Ling take care of her.
Elected Supreme Commander by his colleagues, Stareye has scoured the army to see if there are any other traitors. The two soldiers involved in the Assassins were executed after a series of fruitless interrogations. Star Eye felt that this matter could be over, so he began to consider the next strategy and tactics of the Star Spirit Army.
Accompanied by Kerr and Garrod, Crassus and Rowe went to persuade the new commander to ask for help from the other races to form a coalition. However, they were treated even more coldly than before.
"Lester has set the rules on this issue, and I must respect him." The tall, lanky aristocrat sniffed the white powder as he spoke.
This is the end of the discussion, but the focus on the matter continues. It won't take long for the Burning Legion to recover. Hatu will soon regroup his forces to deal with the Night Starling. It was unanimously agreed that this demon leader would be even more crazy next time, crazy to a level of horror that the Star Spirit Defenders had never seen before.
Even if the Night Star was able to stop the invaders from advancing or even force the enemy back to the gates of Atherine. But if the portal is always open, and the upper astral spirits and demons succeed in reinforcing it, then these successes are meaningless.
Star Spirits can kill thousands of demons. Or even attack the palace...... But if Dideros had come to their realm, all efforts would have come to naught. This is a demon capable of sweeping across the star field with a wave of a hand and a blink of an eye.
This made Crassus ruthless. To avoid something that seemed almost unavoidable, he told the crowd gathered around him the only solution.
"Lester has a wrong strategy." He insisted, completely ignoring the fact that his words would damage the reputation of the deceased: "And Star-Eye does not listen to good words. If all the races are not united, then the planet El - this world - will be destroyed. ”
"But Lord Stareye will never negotiate with them." Garrod noted.
"Then we'll talk for him......" The archon looked at everyone, "In the past, we wanted to rely on the Zerg but couldn't, but now they are not in our consideration at all...... Auphilo has already gone to scout their movements, but I'm afraid that as long as Chen Feng has the soul of ten thousand insects, they won't be able to do anything. Therefore, we must liaise with humanity and the Tyro Council...... We have to convince them to help these disdainful fellows. ”
Rosen shook his head and said, "People of other races may not be able to come to the aid of races that are almost as eager as the Burning Legion to see them bulldozed, and there are centuries of hatred in them, Crassus. ”
The thin archon grimaced and nodded, his gaze turning to the invisible Star Spirit Capital: "If that's the case, then we'll all have no choice but to die." The sword of the Burning Legion, or the evil power of the soul of ten thousand insects, these make us certain to death. ”
There is no way to argue with this. Zeratul was the only one of them who wasn't there.
For the past few days, he had been looking for something. It all started with a plan, an all-or-nothing plan. He felt that only one person could be crazy enough to walk with him.
Zeratul wants to go to Zeling, hoping to save her from the demons. Only one of the generals in the army may share his vision, and he has been searching for the ideal companion to carry out this near-suicidal plan together.
Brooks, however, is gone.
Eventually, he summoned up the courage to go to the Astral Guard's station, pretending to negotiate a future march with Brooks, and found the highest-ranking of the Astral Archons.
As Zeratul walked in, the bare-bearded star spirit with nothing left on his head looked up. Although the Star Guardians did not believe in Zeratul, they admired him after seeing the power of his spells.
"Hello, Zeratul." The robed Archon said, and slowly stood up. He sat on a stone and read a book all the time. Obviously, there must have been some occult knowledge of the forbidden school to which he belonged.
"I beg your pardon, Galatas, I came looking for my brother, but I didn't find it."
Galarsus looked at him uncomfortably: "Haven't you heard of anything?" ”
Zeratul tensed: "What have you heard of?" ”
"Blox's ...... Gone, he rode his mount to reconnoiter the volcanic area created by Chen Feng...... But he never came back. ”
Zeratul didn't believe him, so he said, "Broxs went on his mount alone?" Don't have a personal guard? ”
The Archon of the Astral Spirit bowed his head and said, "Do you think any of us can stop him, Master Zeratul?" ”
Zeratul understood this, and he said, "Tell me what you know." ”
"I don't know much about the road, he set out on the night when the storm subsided, saying that he would be back before dawn, but two hours after dawn his mount returned, and he was gone."
"What- how's his mount?"
Galarsus didn't dare to look at him: "The beast is dusty...... There was blood on the body. We tried to find your brother by footprints, but there are still a lot of prohibitions left in that area. Lord Star-Eye said—" (To be continued......)
