Chapter 50: The Eve of the Great War
"Who should I be? It's you, a wolf cub. β
A shoulder-length man with long silver curly hair walked over, he looked to be thirty or forty years old, with a full beard, a trace of vicissitudes but with fortitude in his face, dressed in a black aristocratic dress in the Western Baroque style, giving people a suave and elegant feeling. His tone was calm, and he seemed more joking than annoyed.
"Tsk, it's not angry, it's worthy of Carnegie. Walker, who felt bored, lost interest, shook his head and walked to the side to rest.
"Damn, how dare you be so disrespectful to your father!?" Polo glared at Walker, who was dismissive, if it was Carnegie he still had some scruples, but this little ghost, hehe.
Carlos had no choice but to hold his forehead, saying that the good tiger father has no dog son, why did Carnegie I have such a foolish son as a result.
It turned out that the little kid's thoughts were beyond his comprehension, but fortunately, Carnegie himself was also a very self-denying person, and naturally he couldn't get used to his son's actions, and angrily rebuked him: "Enough, Polo, apologize to others, and punish you for doing wrong, soldiers like this, so do you, and I am no exception." β
"That werewolf offended you in the first place, how can you shield him like this?!" Polo asked incredulously.
Carnegie sighed, "I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about Carlos, and it's good that people don't care about you." β
That look of hatred touched Polo's heart, did he do something wrong again?
Polo fled with a face full of shame, and Carnegie forced a smile on his face and said to Carlos, "I'm smiling at you, the other lords have basically arrived, come with me, wolf cubs, you can come with me." β
"Cut, what's so magical. Walker said disdainfully, but his body honestly followed.
Carlos instructed Michelle a few words, and was about to leave, but he sensed something, and couldn't help but look back, only to see that the dark fog covered the sky in the distance, and was slowly moving towards them.
"Dark canopy? It's really interesting, I didn't expect there to be a necromancer in my neighborhood. Carlos saw that this was a kind of magic that changed the environment - the dark canopy, which should be regarded as an upgraded version of the dark curtain in his territory, and unlike his dark curtain, this dark canopy was obviously cast by the lord himself, but there was no restriction on the release of it only in the territory.
Because everyone is from the southern country of bone demons, naturally they will not be prejudiced against necromancers like ordinary people, in fact, every lord here is not proficient in necromancy, but at least they will have a little fur.
Although demons are not afraid of sunlight and so-called holy light, their undead creations cannot, and the damage taken by the undead in the dark canopy will automatically be repaired by the black mist, which will also strengthen them in all directions, weakening the damage of energy such as ultraviolet rays and fire.
However, the amount of magic it takes to maintain a dark canopy covering at least a kilometer for a long time is very staggering, and this lord is also a hard stubble not to be outdone.
Just when the dark canopy was about to come, it suddenly contracted, and the black fog did not spread wantonly anymore but began to reduce its own range of activities, and these black fogs even condensed together, like a wall, giving people a very thick and solid feeling, just like the real thing, without the slightest illusion.
This is also a way to show strength, at least ordinary people do not have this kind of precise control, which not only shows their own strength, but also gives Carnegie enough respect as the owner.
Eventually, a figure wrapped in black mist walked out of the dark sky, because the black mist is very isolating, Carlos can't distinguish between men and women, but this kind of strong man is worthy of respect everywhere, he nodded to the figure as a gesture of friendship.
The figure in the black mist clearly didn't expect Carlos to do this, and it panicked a little, but it quickly reacted and nodded to Carlos.
"Lord Carnegie, all my men are here, and I will restrain them, and please don't get too close to them. A strange voice came from the figure of the black mist, and this was the case, but he was even more curious about what race this demon hidden under the black fog was.
Carnegie nodded, "Okay, I'll admonish them." β
Just then, Carlos noticed the patterns on the soldiers' shields, all the sameβa sharp sword that severed the head of a monstrous dragon. The sword represents that the Valen family is a family that advocates force and glory, and the rise of this kind of family generally depends on war, and the dragon's head is probably the most proud trophy of the Valen family, and it is the strongest monster or the most representative monster that has been defeated by the ancestors of the Valen family.
"Raise the power of the clan?" Carlos thought deeply, after all, the Valen family does not have a demon god powerhouse, and now the Valen family is all supported by Carnegie alone, and as the god of the town, how can Carnegie's territory not be fully managed, in this case, I am afraid that the force of Bohemi County will far exceed that of other counties, at least as far as he sees these warriors is no less than five thousand, but each of them is stubborn, looking around, as if a tiger is looking at a wolf, it is definitely a tiger and wolf division, if these soldiers surround and attack themselves, whether they can retreat with their whole body is a question, but if they retreat early before being encircled, it is not difficult to leaveγ
After all, it is indispensable to defend people, although he has no idea of harming Carnegie, but when he comes to other people's territory, his subordinates are not around, surrounded by countless elite soldiers, anyone will be on guard, the ghost knows if the opposite side is a Hongmen banquet, once he relaxes his vigilance, he may not even know how to die.
Walking into the lord's mansion, just like the plainly decorated outside, the interior of the mansion is still unpretentious, there are no palatial rooms, no beautiful dancing girls, and even the food is coarse tea and light rice, not even wine.
"Everyone led the army here, you can rest for half a day to recuperate, tomorrow spring hunting can begin, that is the time for everyone to carnival, I take tea instead of wine, do it first as a respect. Quest didn't know what agreement he had reached with Carnegie, or Carnegie's humility when he was in the spring, the person in charge of presiding over the spring hunting conference was actually Quest, seeing himself in shock, he also winked at himself, and by the way motioned himself to look in one direction, in that direction sat Modesty, feeling his gaze, Modesty nodded kindly and implicitly.
Nazi was sitting next to him at this time, it seemed that he had been living a very chic life during this time, the ordinary armor he was wearing had obviously been transformed and upgraded, and two lion heads roaring forward were added to his shoulders, which looked very domineering, and it seemed to be a magic weapon, but why did he always feel that this kind of epaulette decoration was more effective than actual combat.
"Before the big war, it is indeed not advisable to drink, I salute His Excellency Ques. Carnegie stood up, in fact, if he really wanted to decide a leader among this group of demons, it would be no surprise that he would be chosen between him and Quest, his leadership ability was stronger, but Quest's status was more prominent, and he could add a lot of points, and there were many ambitious guys who didn't want their leaders to be too wise and capable, but it was better to be mediocre.
Just then, Carlos noticed a demon on the edge of the circle, wrapped in a black robe, but he was impressed by the inadvertently exposed arms like dead branches and the dull spirit.
It's the underground demon.,His appearance looks like a bad old man.,But it's impossible for the demon to die.,In fact, every demon can decide what he looks like after his transformation.,Whether it's young or not.,The reason why this underground demon shows an image of an old man who will be on the ground is completely because he feels that his future is dim.,Because of himself.,That's why this underground demon looks lifeless.,If there's hope for this thing, it will look younger in appearance.γ
But everything about this demon has nothing to do with himself, this demon is just barely reaching the level of the upper demon, and it belongs to the weakest kind among the many lords, coupled with the identity of the underground demon, it will naturally be excluded from the core of the circle and become a dispensable marginal figure, and it is difficult for this kind of demon to have any intersection with himself.
