Chapter 559: A Strange World
The dark green wave stopped for a moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
The scorching red stake pierced the earth with its own terrifying weight and acceleration, and the sword-like stake was wedged deep into the ground, and the terrifying impact spread in all directions, carrying a purifying fire like maggots on tarsal bones!
One after another scorching red circles spread out from the dark green waves, and the flames spread like a torrent, sweeping away. Everywhere they passed, all the water spirits that could be reached were shrouded in flames.
The water ghosts in the core area of the cremation rack impact were vaporized into ashes in an instant, and the water spirits in the heat and impact of purgatory were squeezed into charcoals a little farther away, and the water ghosts swept by the aftermath struggled wildly in the endless flames.
The flames fell into the firewood.
In an instant, what was set off was a prairie fire.
In the flames, the priest held aloft the spur and used it as a coordinate, constantly calling for the stake to fall from the sky and strike at the water ghosts with an accuracy of within a centimeter.
"It's a pity, it's early. β
Stone pursed his lips and sighed softly: "The young man still can't hold his breath, fifteen seconds early, otherwise he can carry out a thorough global coverage attack." β
Ye Qingxuan looked at his regretful appearance and couldn't help but sigh, "Didn't you say that you were an accountant, why are you so proficient in things on the battlefield?"
"Well, that's right, I'm an accountant and a cashier. β
Stone's old face barely squeezed out a sincere smile: "By the way, he is also the deputy head of the first Witch's Hammer Knights." β
Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a long time, a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, and he wanted to spray this old bastard.
Part-time!
Is there a part-time position for this kind of position?
Generally, the deputy head of the regiment is also the accountant and cashier!
And......
He looked at Stone with more and more astonishment: First ...... This old ghost turned out to be the original member of the Witch's Hammer Grass Creation Period! And he was also the deputy head of the real power who had all the internal affairs and finances in his hands!
This is a living history book of the Inquisition!
And it's the kind of history that is full of black material and explosive shady scenes, and can only be classified as a secret hidden history!
Stone smiled, with a happy expression on his face that I knew what you were thinking, and his mutilated old face was so cheap that he couldn't help but want to punch him.
After two rounds of thirty burns at the stake, a forest of flames had been erected in the shallows outside the fortress under the guidance of the Flaming Banner.
The six defensive positions have been turned into meat grinders, harvesting a steady stream of scattered demons. The heavily armored knights who were originally on standby behind the tower shield were also divided into several to focus on dealing with the demons that posed a threat.
It can be said that by now, basically the menacing offensive of the demons has been completely contained.
It even had the upper hand.
After several rounds of onslaught, leaving countless corpses to use as firewood, a faint hiss came from the deepest part of the demon, and something lurking in the sea made a sound.
Soon, the demons' offensive thinned out, and they slowly retreated under the command of that voice, staring unwillingly at the fortress and defensive positions behind them, and slowly retreating into the sea.
"That's not going to work. β
Stone frowned, his expression became dissatisfied, and he said to himself, "That's not the case, is it?"
"War shouldn't be like this. He stared at the vast shadows in the sea, "There should be no death between us." β
"Stay, don't go. β
When he said this, his tone carried the sweetness and tenderness of the companionship of a lover.
Then, the demon's retreating front came to an abrupt end.
At the back, the subservient and commanding water spirit stiffened its head, its bloodshot eyes staring at the priest behind the tower shield.
The priest thrust the flame into the ground beside him, drew his short knife from his waist, turned it around, and put it on his wrist, and crossed it......
As a result, red, viscous blood flowed from the wound.
Following your fingers, it falls into the soil and accumulates into a small lake with a sweet smell.
One, two, three......
All the priests cut open wounds on their bodies, and the breath of blood spread, as if with an irresistible temptation, it ignited the fire in the hearts of the water spirits.
Make them ...... Completely berserk!
The thing in the deep ocean raged and roared, and the water rolled and rolled to no avail.
The frenzied screams of the water ghosts rang out again.
It turned out that the more water spirits on the shore turned around and crawled towards the fortress, lured by the smell of blood, and frantically pounced on everything that could move.
The war began again.
"That's right. β
"That's right. β
"That's how it should be!"
Stone laughed heartily with his metal vocal cords, embracing the return of the war with contentment.
In the metal fortress, the war machine began to spin again, and the armored knights smeared blood on their foreheads, took up their halberds and heavy swords, and with a terrifying weight they crossed the defenses behind the tower shields and descended on the battlefield, charging and killing at will.
Under the call of the flames, the flames of the barren mountain night continued to fall from the sky, and every time the burning stake fell, a large number of water ghosts were completely reduced to ashes.
The flaming wind swept away.
The last remaining demons are rapidly turning to ashes.
In the distance, in the depths of the sea, the massive creature that lurked beneath the surface of the sea slowly rose, revealing a blurred shadow, casting its gaze towards the fortress with a damp and cold aura.
Everywhere they passed, everyone felt a kind of suffocation engulfed by the sea.
In the end, it fell on Ye Qingxuan.
Ye Qingxuan raised his eyes and looked at it.
After a long time, the sea retracted its sight, and restrained the remaining subordinates to bypass the island and go deeper into the sea, ignoring the demons on the shore.
Except for Stone, whose eyebrows were lowered, no one noticed that the war had ended so unilaterally.
"Thanks to Your Excellency's divine might. Stone complimented.
Ye Qingxuan shook his head and smiled: "With or without me, the ending will not change, the protagonist here is the Witch's Hammer." β
Stone stared at the battlefield for a long time, retracting his gaze, reluctant to give up.
His eyes were complex and solemn.
"Is there anything wrong, Elder Stone?"
Stone turned his head, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his half-old face: "No, it's just that I haven't seen such a scene for a long time, and I remembered some things back then."
For so many years, we have been immersed in the past, and before we know it, the world has become so strange. I'm afraid the next world will become more chaotic and cruel, right?"
Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time:
"Will the Inquisition be afraid?"
"Your Excellency, all we are good at is dealing with demons.
Crush the claws of your enemies, pluck out their teeth, decapitate their heads, burn their bones, and scatter them into the wasteland in the hope of the coming year.
That's all. β
Stone patted on the battlements of the fortress and smiled: "Your arrival has changed a lot, this place is no longer lifeless, and the young people below are also looking forward to the future."
But I am terrified, Your Excellency, the world may not be as simple as they imagined, not as you see. β
As he spoke, Stone stretched out his hand, his cold steel hand grabbed a few grains of ash that flew in front of him, looked at them, and then threw them into the wind again.
"Your Excellency, it has been nearly two hundred years since the establishment of the Inquisition. β
Stone said: "Over the years, we have explored hundreds of tactics against different demons, and the musicians have created more than 100 pieces of music based on them......
Training methods, combat methods, alchemy techniques, mechanical drawings......
Nearly astronomical sums of money were spent, and at its peak, millions of people served us, directly or indirectlyβit was the most glorious era of the Inquisition.
We are the war machines created by the Order to deal with the old times, tools to spend special time.
But once the times have passed, the old machines that are useless will be locked in warehouses and eaten in dust, and replaced by new things. β
"Something new?"
"That's right. β
Stone shook his head and suddenly asked, "Your Excellency, have you ever heard of the 'water tank'?"
Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, "Inside Anglo, there is a special factory directly under the royal family in the Royal Research Institute, and the specific location is only known to Maxwell alone. As far as I know, one of the ongoing projects has something to do with that title, and the level of secrecy is even higher than that of the 'Industrial Revolution' project. β
This kind of treatment is also a matter of course for it. β
Stone bowed his head firmly: "I can tell you in advance that this is the code name of some kind of heavy weapon, which is said to be an epoch-making technology, and it has not been unsealed.
After this 'epoch' is over and the next 'epoch' is opened by the Order, they will be allowed to appear - the epoch is the division of the stages of development of the human world within the Order, and I don't know exactly what it is.
Over the years, all countries have been secretly researching secretly, and the progress is probably close to completion.
The prototype should have been made, right?
For a long time, everyone was afraid that there was no permission and authorization from the Holy City, so they were not directly sent to the battlefield, but in the current world, after the fall of the Hundred Eyes, the abyss came, and the Holy City was too busy to take care of itself, and this world was out of the control of the Order.
No one knows what the world will become next. β
Ye Qingxuan pondered for a long time after hearing this, and his brows furrowed: "What do you mean-this kind of technology has already been developed in the Holy City?"
"It's better to talk about storage than R&D. β
Stone smiled strangely, mocking with a deep sneer: "Your Excellency, you may have misunderstood something-the function of the Technical Bureau of the Holy City has never been to develop and develop, but to stipulate what cannot be developed.
Otherwise, how could there be so many forbidden technologies?"
Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time, and slowly bowed his head.
"I see. β
"You're aware of something wrong with this world, right?"
A mocking smile appeared on Stone's withered face: "Obviously, everything is running so smoothly, but there is an abnormality everywhere.
Politics, Economics, History, Languages, Biology, Alchemy, Mechanical Engineering......
Every part is perfect, yet out of place in this world.
The Order wants to explain this contradiction theologically, painstakingly crafting layer upon layer of buffers. In the end, more and more flaws cannot be patched.
It's as if more and more lies are being told for the sake of a lie. (To be continued.) )
