Chapter 284: Malicious Intent from the Other World
A complete base of advance has been built on the site of Palofodi.
During the period of Lear's absence, Mlak fully demonstrated the talent of a good commander, whether it was building a base or sending scouts to the left and right countries, he was well arranged, and he did not even pull down his daily training.
A team of less than 3,000 people was managed by him to run an army of tens of thousands, and no one had ever guided him in all this.
Some people are like that, if you throw him in a place that suits him, then he will grow up at a rate that no one can imagine.
This is called talent.
Old Carey's abode had been leveled into a vast clearing, and the light and shadow of an illusory giant nine-pointed star was seeping out of it.
The light of the nine-pointed star is slightly dim, and it does not look like a projection of the world, because it is reflected through hundreds of meters of underground space.
Hundreds of heavily armed warriors were on duty at the edge of the circle, and although the walls were also heavily guarded, Mrrak certainly wouldn't be careless about the top priority that Lear had repeatedly explained before leaving.
If something goes wrong with the circle and there isn't enough mana, Lear will set out from Spartacus like a ship without a lighthouse.
Even if he was finally able to forcibly tear a spatial rift with his magical powers, the warriors who were with him didn't know how much they would be swallowed up by the turbulent and relentless void turbulence.
Moreover, all the countries on this continent are being enveloped by an inexplicable aura of war, and although the cause of the war is not known, all the war machines are turning on their own because of the pressure.
In this case, I am afraid that the first reaction of any country to an army that inexplicably appears on the territory of its own country will not be too friendly.
The nine-pointed star array suddenly dimmed, but before the warriors on duty next to him could report it, the light that was so dim that it was almost extinguished suddenly skyrocketed more than ten times, and then it shone furiously into a white light that could blind people.
"Hurry up and report to your lordship!"
The captain of the guard covered his eyes, ignoring the sour tears that kept pouring out, and instead yelled hysterically at the periphery.
Mrak had commanded that even an ant had crawled into the circle must be reported, and that the three waves of warriors who were most loyal to Spartacus were guarding the vicinity.
Eight-hour shifts, 24 hours a day, for more than two months.
And when the light had stabilized and everyone had been able to get used to the blinding light, the captain of the guard immediately surrounded him with the rest of the warriors.
The messengers are gone, and what they have to do now is to trap those things underground and not let them out before the cause of the mutation is determined, or even after an uninvited guest arrives.
The circle on the ground was nothing more than a projection of the underworld, and the exit was only a few meters square of a cavity and a staircase below that only allowed a few people to walk in parallel.
To be on the safe side, Lear instructed Mlak not to expand the exit of the underground plaza for the time being, after all, he couldn't be sure if he was in exclusive control of the time and space roaming, at least Sandru and the other person were very likely to have this ability, and only more.
In this way, if something really happens, Mlak and the others can also take advantage of the terrain to block it.
When they saw the man who came out of the tunnel first, the warriors' eyes showed a look of relaxation and genuine affection.
They lowered their weapons and bowed their heads, so they didn't see Lear's gloomy face or the strange creatures that followed him.
Spartacus's army snaked out of the narrow staircase like a giant python, because of the limitations of the terrain, this process would continue for a long time, and it was natural that there would be special people to deal with these matters in command and settlement.
Lear returned to the wartime command post with several captains, and then under the stunned gaze of Mlak and the others, the strange creatures finally revealed their true colors.
A fire elemental whose whole body burned incessantly, a thunder elemental whose whole body was shrouded in gray-black thunderclouds and even occasionally had lightning flashes, a diamond man, and a demigod monster, but each creature looked sluggish and badly injured.
This strange combination was Lear who escaped from the Void Barrier when he led his army across the magic node, and at first Lear thought he was under attack, but when he saw the number and state of the other party, he decided to pull the creatures up first.
It is extremely dangerous to forcibly tear apart the Void barrier, and without two nodes that are connected together and have stable support, it is not an exaggeration to say that those Void Turbulence are like countless flying blades.
Any creature that tries to force its way through turbulence has the opportunity to experience the horror of nature's rules.
The price is death.
Since you know the existence of the Void Turbulence, it is impossible not to know the danger involved, but these strange creatures take such a risk to force through the Void Barrier, naturally it is impossible for the world to be so big I want to see such a ridiculous reason.
And after a brief conversation between Lear and the demigod during the crossing, he realizes what is really going on in the other world.
Because of the environment, he couldn't talk too much to the other party in the Void Travel, so the first thing he did when he sat down on the main seat was to focus on the demigod monster again.
"Now, tell me more about what you just told me. ”
He looked at the strange creature in front of him with a blue ice element on the upper body and a spirit body on the lower body.
Through the contact just now, he already knew that this demigod monster was the leader of this group, and the others were just guards, and only the demigod seemed to have the ability to communicate with him.
"As you wish, Your Excellency. ”
Although the body was still tattered after withstanding the invasion of the Void Turbulence, the demigod did not twist Lear's request for half a point, and this alone made all the captains present think highly of this creature.
"My name is Kasa, and I am an elemental envoy of the Elemental Empire Celal, and this time I have crossed the Void Barrier under the joint order of the four major elemental lords, precisely to convey bad news to all of you in this world. ”
The demigod named Kasa bowed slightly, and then began to speak.
"After the War of the Elders, the four elemental lords mediated by the great being led us to retreat into the other world, no longer involved in anything in the present world, but although the war between the lords stopped, the peace only lasted for a short time. ”
As he said the words "Great Being", Casa glanced up at Lear strangely, but only for a moment before continuing to bow his head.
"We have encountered new enemies, they are very powerful, so the four elemental lords have to unite to defend against foreign enemies, but even in the face of the enemy's invasion year after year, our territory is being lost little by little, if it were not for the support of that being, I am afraid that we would have been defeated hundreds of years ago. ”
"What does that have to do with us?"
The barbarian's impatience, even if Haag was not there, Tariq alone could play it to the fullest, Lear gave him a blank look, and motioned for Kasa to continue.
"If we can keep resisting, it certainly has nothing to do with you, and in fact according to the old convention, we really shouldn't come back to this world. ”
Kasa stopped, and then the spirit body in the lower half of his body appeared unnaturally distorted, and the light of the ice elemental body in the upper body also dimmed, and it seemed that the damage caused by the void turbulence continued to torment him.
Lear casts a healing spell on him, and when the pale blue light melts in, Casa's condition is noticeably better.
"Thank you. He greeted Lear with his hand over his chest, then continued.
"For hundreds of years, we have been fighting the invaders tenaciously, with the support of powerful forces, although we have been able to hold the territory, but we are powerless to prevent them from establishing a base of advance, and if this progress continues, this war will continue for at least a thousand years before it can be seen, but ......"
He looked at Lear again, his eyes thick with worry that couldn't be dissipated.
"You have lost the shelter of that power. ”
Lear finished the sentence in his place.
"Yes, as wise as you. ”
Casa continued, but this time he didn't look away.
Although I don't know why, it was the first time I had seen this young human, and even the appearance of a human had only been seen in ancient texts before, but Casa had a feeling in his heart that the shelter they had lost had something to do with this person.
"Since four years ago, we have lost contact with that being, and no matter how much we pray, make offerings, and expand our altars and temples, the distant void no longer gives us any response, and there is even a rumor that has begun to spread among the Elemental Empire that we have been deceived, and then we have been abandoned. ”
Lear's eyes jumped slightly when he heard this, but it was just like that, and no one noticed.
Four years ago, when he came to this world, in fact, Kasa said so much that he could guess who the great being was, if it was really as the other party said, then the rumors flowing in the Elemental Empire were true.
They were abandoned, and Yasha re-chose a spokesperson.
After the end of the War of the Elders, due to the direct intervention of the elemental dragons, the four elemental lords ended their rule over this world and turned to the other world, but no one thought that it was the battlefield that Yasha had arranged for them a long time ago.
If Lear is not mistaken, the invaders must be the descendants of Ogas - the Kregans.
The demons of hell now entrenched in Older are only a small part of the Kregans, and the truly powerful and ferocious demons are all active in the boundless universe like a horde of ghosts.
Before Asha used her endless divine power to lure his soul into this world, she would certainly give some support to the elemental lords in order to defend against the invasion of the descendants of Ogaz.
However, when he arrived and Yasha did consume too much divine power, naturally there was no extra energy to take care of the unlucky ghosts who were thrown into the other world by her.
From this point of view, the so-called dragon god of order is also black and ruthless.
"So, how much longer can you hold on?" Lear stood up from his seat.
Since Casa appeared here, it meant that the war of the Elemental Empire had reached the edge of the building, and although he didn't know what the ancient agreement was, Lear could think of it with his toes that there would never be a victory.
He came to ask for help, or rather, to declare doom.
