Chapter 7: The Storm Beast and the Ink Crystal
At this time, Roman, the superpower of the Western world, was undergoing upheaval.
The Battle of the Rapids on the Isle of Nice completely changed the future of the Romance Empire, and after the defeat of the 11th Emperor Raul, he became ill and before his death, he divided the country into two parts to be inherited by the eldest prince and the second prince.
It was a clever way to avoid fratricide, but it didn't work very well.
In less than three months, the two brothers fought for the simple reason that both of them were unwilling, not to mention that there were their respective supporters instigating them.
The Western Romans, ruled by the Grand Prince Clough, were the birthplace of the Romance Empire, and his supporters were the nobles of the Romance, who were financially rich and entrenched, and they soon gathered an army of half a million and invaded the Farah Basin under the pretext of resisting the barbarian army of the Sun Dynasty.
Although the Eastern Romans ruled by the second prince Claudius were large, most of them were composed of vassal states that had been conquered over the years.
Although the second prince has made outstanding achievements and accumulated a lot of prestige in the army, his foundation is relatively subtant, and the previous army and many old generals have been lost in the expedition to Nice Island, and his strength has been greatly reduced.
Fortunately, he had a powerful teacher, the sage Merlin, for which he had the support of the Holy See.
He was also unwilling to allow his cowardly brother to monopolize the richest lands of the Romans, and when the Western Romans entered the Farrah Basin, he immediately attacked and won his first two victories.
The civil war of the Roman Empire is vigorously present, but the Kingdom of Heaven cannot sit still.
After all, this is a mortal force that has taken hundreds of years to support, and if it is allowed to wear and fall, its own believers will inevitably be greatly reduced, and once the number of believers is greatly reduced, the interface balance that the Heavenly Kingdom has created with great difficulty will be broken.
The civil war between the Eastern and Western Romans seriously damaged the interests of the Heavenly Kingdom, and the Heavenly Father successively sent five angelic guards to expand the mortal court, and the church rose up......
Because of the coercion of the Holy See, the Eastern and Western Romans finally made a truce.
However, bad news came from the eastern border of the empire, five Roman vassal states, and eighteen city-states were broken by the Sun Dynasty within half a year.
What is even more hateful is that these ignorant barbarians have burned down the ecclesiastical institutions of those city-states and smashed the statue of the Father......
Under the organization of the Holy See, the Eastern and Western Romans urgently mobilized 800,000 troops, uniformly dressed in red robes, and under the personal command of Claudius, the emperor of the Eastern Romanes, they entered the Prayut River valley. The two Angel Guards went out with the army, ready for a quick victory.
The barbarian army of the Sun Dynasty and the Roman army of red-robed knights met in the plain of the Prayut River, and more than a dozen battles broke out successively, each with its own victory and defeat.
The barbarian king Aclis was very shocked, others didn't know, he knew in his heart that the Sun Dynasty had a powerful temple of gods behind it, and this time he was followed by dozens of powerful god priests in his army, if it wasn't for their divine power, the Sun Dynasty would not have been able to get out of the desert.
After walking out of the desert and attacking several cities, Akris was full of confidence.
These Western nations are simply vulnerable, their gods are all decorations, and it may not be long before they themselves can reclaim the West and become the king of the whole world.
However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and what shocked Aclis was that in the Battle of Prayut River, more than 20 divine priests fell, and more than 300,000 troops disappeared.
Asking for help, urgently asking for help from the temple of the gods, the priests set up altars and lit the flames......
The Eastern Romance Emperor Claudius was also very shocked, the Battle of the Prayut River was far more tragic than imagined, and there were divine shamans in the barbarian army who drove flying carpets and shot fireballs, and more than a dozen angels were blown into ashes......
The temple and the kingdom of heaven struck at the same time, and the army of the temple led by the four god kings and the army of the kingdom of heaven led by the heavenly father converged in the top of the sky.
King Ashoka scattered the Luo Tian Domain, and the Father of Heaven waved his hand to crack the Luo Tian Domain, and the Father of Heaven shot out a purple lightning bolt, which was controlled by the three god kings of Kanan, Nirva, and Menluo to take away the Qiankun bag.
It seems to be an understatement of offense and defense, but it makes Heaven and the Temple jealous.
After all, the Heavenly Father and the four god kings reached an agreement: with the Prayut River as the boundary, the Roman Empire and the Sun Dynasty shook hands and made peace, and the Sun Dynasty shared control of the five countries and eighteen cities east of the Prayut River, and each side respected its own gods and could not destroy the other's gods, and the Heavenly Kingdom and the Temple of the Gods were no longer allowed to participate in mortal battles.
......
Abyss, Storm Bluff.
Nu had already made a big circle on the edge of the Storm Cliff, and he patiently released his six senses, probing the distribution and habits of the storm beasts, as well as exploring the ink crystal.
Storm Bluffs is rich in Dark Crystal, an extremely unstable dark spirit ore that can react with many substances to generate different types of dark elementals.
For example, after absorbing air, it will produce strong dark air currents, and the reason why Storm Cliff is famous for storm winds is precisely because every few hours, a large number of dark air currents decomposed by Storm Cliff ink crystals and air will accumulate to produce large and small storms.
Nu needs ink crystals, because ink crystals can be dissolved by fusing with water and dark forces to produce ink spirit liquid, a dark viscous liquid that is an essential medium for channeling and enchantment.
Ink Crystal is the food of the Storm Beast, and the feces of the Storm Beast are the only fertilizer for the growth of Ink Crystal.
The Storm Beast, the head of the bat and the leopard, is a group of dark beasts, each of which guards a vein of Ink Crystal, consisting of hundreds to thousands of Storm Beasts, including a male, and several females.
There were tens of thousands of storm beasts scattered in the Storm Cliffs, and of course Nu didn't have any thoughts about these storm beasts and the dark crystal veins they guarded. All he focused on was the scattered storm beasts at the edge of Stormcliffs.
Storm beast males are generally abandoned by the herd from the first day of life.
In order to survive, they can only wander the edge of Stormstorm Cliffs, looking for scattered ink crystals.
Most of them will die of starvation or fighting, but a few will survive and become stronger, eventually challenging the male beasts within the cliff to take the mating rights of the herd and control of the Dark Crystal Vein.
At the edge of the Storm Cliff, as soon as those scattered ink crystals grew out of the Storm Beast's dung, Storm Beasts teleported in, and often two or three of them appeared at the same time, and after a while, it turned into a scuffle of dozens of them.
The Storm Beast has a keen six senses, is particularly sensitive to spiritual power fluctuations, and the special function of teleportation exists, so that Ah Nu does not dare to act rashly. He's been coming full circle and hasn't found any opportunities.
Suddenly, lightning and thunder roared in a mountain cliff three hundred zhang in front of him, and Ah Nu immediately lurked behind a huge rock and carefully released his six senses.
Hey, there's someone!
Long ears, tender green skin!
Three men and one woman, all fifteen or sixteen years old, three slender teenagers stood back to back, surrounding a petite girl in the middle.
The girl held a strange oil lamp in her right hand, and the light emitted a pale yellow circle of light, covering the four of them, and the girl's left hand actually held an ink crystal.
The three teenagers were armed with longbows and calmly shot sharp arrows from the quivers behind their backs.
The aura emitted by the girl's oil lamp absorbs the lightning of the Storm Beast's shot, and each time the Teenage shoots a bow and arrow, they knock down a Storm Beast.
Soon, twenty or thirty storm beasts fell from the ground, but more storm beasts teleported in, and in a moment dozens of them were surrounded, and the lights were swaying with lightning soaking in.
"Retreat!" the girl called urgently.
However, surrounded on all sides, bows and arrows are only suitable for single attacks, and it is very difficult to clear a way out.
Seeing that the danger was coming, the girl gritted her teeth, snorted, and threw the ink crystal in her hand far away......
