Chapter 42: The Whole Line Collapses
The army of the Cheruno Empire, ready to fight, gathered outside the walls of the empire.
Ceruno I stared blankly into the distance, where the smoke had not completely dissipated, and his eyes were full of anticipation, waiting for the return of Ceruno II.
Ceruno II's wife, with her eyes full of sparkles, always insisted on not letting her fall, and waited anxiously with Ceruno I.
All the people of the empire prayed earnestly that their king would return safely.
"Look, Your Majesty, it looks like someone is coming in front of you. ”
On the desolate earth, a figure limped slowly towards here.
Blood fell down his crown, and his long hair fluttered like fallen leaves in the breeze.
Still full of decay and death, Ceruno II walked alone and alone towards his homeland.
Compared to the withered body before, he is now a little more flesh and blood, but this still can't hide the rotten body that shouldn't belong to the living.
Cheruno I hurried out of the city walls in a panic, but when he saw his son's face clearly, the excitement and anticipation on his face were instantly washed away by fear.
Although the man in front of him was strikingly similar to Ceruno II in terms of clothing and appearance, the undead's signature rotten shell was really unacceptable to him.
All the soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and everyone must have the same problem in their hearts.
The completely zombified Cairono II, with only the whites of his eyes left in horror, stared blankly at the army in front of him, and his own father, the blood in his mouth continued to drip as his teeth were polished, making a creepy "creaking" sound.
"Son, is that you?" asked Ceruno I, still unrelenting.
Unexpectedly, Ceruno II suddenly accelerated and rushed towards them like crazy.
The soldiers, who were already nervous, could not control it when they saw this scene, and before Ceruno I could give the order, bows and arrows, spears, and shields and spears were all sacrificed.
"Wait, that's your king, you can't kill it!"
But it was too late!
The rain of arrows was already pouring down on Ceruno II.
Ceruno II was like a fish on a chopping board, nailed to the ground by countless arrows.
Ceruno I was stunned for a long time, and then he angrily scolded the army behind him: "Who let you release the arrows?" ”
The whole army was silent.
Cerruno I choked up and staggered to his side, "My son, you... Yes... ”
Pain and despair instantly overwhelmed the sanity of Ceruno I, who fought for countless years to build the Cheruno Empire single-handedly, no matter how bitter or difficult it was, he never shed a tear, never knelt down to anyone, and now he cried like a child, kneeling down in front of Cerruno II for a long time.
Just when Ceruno I was mourning his tragic death of his son, Cerano II, who had been pierced through his body by countless arrows, actually stood up again.
Looking at the rotten and stenching body, looking at the eyes that were already covered with dead ashes, looking at the hideous face that only belongs to the undead, everything has already proved to Ceruno I that the Cheruno II in front of him is no longer the son he is familiar with.
But the father's love, the hope that existed only in the depths of the heart of Ceruno I, still persevered in persuading him, forcing him to admit the impossible reality, "Son, it's me, it's me!"
Cairno II stared at the other for a long time with his dead eyes, and then threw him to the ground like a beast.
The screams rang out, completely shaking everyone's minds.
"Your Majesty!"
Everyone shouted heartbreakingly, but not a single soldier dared to come to the rescue.
In this way, they watched as Ceruno II bit him inch by inch, and then swallowed it in his stomach.
And the completely undead Ceruno II is like a hungry beast, enjoying the "food" in front of him, and he doesn't care about the identity of the food.
The blow caused by this shock was undoubtedly fatal to the current Cheruno Empire.
Even though the vast majority of the soldiers here are veterans of long-term battles, they can no longer stand what is happening in front of them.
A large number of soldiers vomited more than once, and even cried directly and threw away their armor and fled in a hurry, and in an instant, this ironclad male division was completely defeated silently.
Looking at the defending army outside the city being disintegrated like this, how could the civilians in the city still sit.
The noise, the cries, and the roars were all in a mess, weaving the skies over the Cheruno Empire like purgatory.
And Ceruno II, still taking care of himself, feasted on every trace of flesh and blood and every inch of bone on his father's body, until his entire body was completely devoured, and then Cheruno II raised his bloody head.
He looked at the empire in front of him, which was dominated by his own fears, and then moved there, step by step, step by step.
The dead soldiers of the Ceruno Empire, who were still holding out outside the city, tried desperately to stop this, but they found that even if the ordinary blade pierced the opponent's body, it could not hurt him at all.
Cherono II roared, raising his rotting palms stained with flesh and blood, and as soon as he slammed them in front of him, the soldiers fell in collective wail.
One soul after another was forcibly extracted from the other party's body by him, and then merged into his own soul.
These soldiers who had their souls drained of their souls died miserably and with hideous faces, as if they had been sucked dry of all the blood in their bodies by a vampire, shriveled and stiff.
"Soul Eater" is a special power bestowed on him by the god of death, which gives Ceruno II the ability to devour the souls of others to strengthen himself, just as his soul will forever submit to the control of the god of death.
After seeing the tragic situation of these comrades who were killed in an instant, those dead soldiers could not withstand the tide of fear that came at them like a monstrous wave, and the remnants of the army scattered in a hurry.
With the flight of the last troops outside the city, it also heralded the collapse of the Cheruno Empire's defensive lines, and no one could stop Cheruno II anymore.
Ceruno II staggered forward, looking unhurried, his mouth opening and closing slightly, dripping countless viscous blood juice, and at the same time, a voice that only he could hear slowly spread in the air, "Corpse King, Corpse King!"
