Chapter 39: The Empire of Cheruno

Rubick became the youngest Grand Magus since the creation of Wind Chill.

That's what many people said about that evaluation competition.

"It was a really good fight, I didn't see anything anyway, and that guy just won for no reason. ”

That evening, the supplicants took Rubick to the place where he had been separated from Aghanim.

The same time, the same place, but the deceased is no longer there.

The supplicant gently patted Rubick's head, his eyes were full of relief and relief, he finally did not disappoint Aghanim, he smiled and said: "Skill stealing, you are really a lucky guy, you have to thank your father, it is he who left you the most precious treasure, it seems that in the future, I will not dare to be presumptuous in front of you." ”

Hearing the hint of banter in the invoker's words, Rubick immediately replied with a smile: "It's really boring, I still want to sell you a deal? Who would have thought that you actually knew everything." ”

When the supplicants heard this, they laughed even louder.

After a long time, the supplicant suddenly stared at the remnant sun in the distance, and said to Rubick: "In the future, your path will be left to you, and I may have to leave the World Tree for a while, maybe... ”

He hesitated slightly, then continued, "Maybe it won't come back!"

When he heard this, Rubick was immediately stunned, and asked inexplicably: "What do you mean that you won't come back?"

The supplicant sighed but did not say anything, and he did not know how long it had been before he said slowly: "I have always had the feeling that on the other side of the world, there seems to be a magical force calling me, and I must go there, otherwise I always feel as if something is missing in my life." ”

Rubick bowed his head and was silent for a long time before he issued a seemingly simple reply, but it was extremely heavy for him, "Oh. ”

The supplicant jumped off the trunk of the tree and said to Rubick in a flat tone, "I should go, and then it will be up to you." ”

Looking at the slender shadow that was being pulled in the afterglow, Rubick just stared blankly, and it was a long time before he heard a vague "goodbye".

Leaving the World Tree, the supplicants did not even mention it to the Prophet.

Using the return scroll, he teleported to the nearest teleportation point to the endless abyss.

Staring at the rolling waves of the endless abyss, and feeling the rich moisture in the air around them, the supplicant hesitated.

He didn't know whether this trip was right or wrong, what awaited him on the other side of the endless abyss, everything was unknown.

However, he eventually stuck to his decision and headed for another piece of land in the Endless Abyss.

Although there are precedents for humans to drive ships across the Endless Abyss, it is an extremely long process, taking too long, and where is the Invoker going to find a fleet capable of crossing the Endless Abyss?

Therefore, for the current supplicants, flying over is the quickest option to cross this endless abyss.

The Invoker captured a flying beast and it took several days to successfully traverse it.

On several occasions, if it weren't for the invoker's pain in feeding the beast with the sacrifice of the tree to quickly replenish the physical strength it consumed, I am afraid that he would have fallen into the tumbling waves halfway.

The other continent of the endless abyss is still so filthy, dirty, and full of the sense of abandonment and desolation, and walking in it, the realm of the end makes people feel extremely depressing.

The sky here is dim, and even though you can still see some dazzling mottled spots through the hazy black clouds overhead, the sunlight still can't completely penetrate the dark barrier and give the place a little light.

Occasionally, I came across one or two monsters roaming the barren land, their wilted and emaciated, their eyes full of craving for food.

Their greedy, bloodthirsty, instincts flowing through their blood drove them to attack the Invoker, an opponent who was not in the same order of magnitude at all.

Every grass and tree here, creatures and monsters, are full of the strong smell of death and the desecration of life.

Even the various elemental forces that swirled in the air disgusted the invoker.

But he didn't look back, the Supplicant glanced in the direction of the Endless Abyss, said goodbye to the world in the simplest way, and walked alone into the depths of darkness.

In the empty and cold stone corridor, the faint candle flame huddled in the cold corner and shivered, as if the boundless darkness and coldness might swallow it at any moment.

The silence was terrible, and apart from the occasional faint whistling of the winds that skimmed the corridor, there was no sound to be heard.

"Pedal, pedal, pedal. ”

Suddenly, a series of noisy and disordered footsteps broke the silence.

Several heavily armed soldiers rushed into the depths of the corridor in some confusion.

"How's the defensive walls at Hell's Gate being built?" said several men in a large hall with sad faces.

One of the men replied, "Your Majesty, there have been more and more undead at the Gates of Hell recently, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and it is estimated that the entire construction period will be delayed by more than ten days!"

The one who was called His Majesty was a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing, wearing a golden crown and jade and silver armor, and he looked like a towering king.

He touched the beard on his chin, frowned and pondered for a long time before saying, "We don't think we can wait so long, General Selby, we must speed up the progress and try to complete it within five days!"

Selby hesitated for a moment, and finally could only nod his head and answer: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will give the order." ”

At this moment, the wooden door of the hall was suddenly pushed open unreasonably, and several soldiers who were a little lost rushed in.

Everyone immediately frowned at each other, and just as someone wanted to stand up and scold these soldiers who had no military discipline, Selby got up from his chair and shouted angrily: "Why are you here?

Several soldiers were lying on their stomachs or sitting, panting for breath, and after a long time, someone relieved himself and replied, "Your Majesty. Your Majesty, it's not good, there's something going on at the gates of hell!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt as if their buttocks had been pierced by a nail, and they jumped up collectively.

"Selby, gather all your troops and set out for the gates of hell!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Cheruno Empire is one of the few powerful empires on the continent.

Perhaps because of the geographical relationship, in this dirty continent, it is not the continent where the World Tree is located, where humans dominate.

There are many races and demons here, and humans are just one of these thousands of races.

Darkness shelters evil spirits, zombies, skeletons, vampires and everything else that loves shady races.

Filth breeds for it, and decay helps it to develop.

And human beings have been struggling with the fire of confrontation with other races, and the Cheruno Empire is a typical representative.

The first king of the Cherino Empire, Ceruno I, despite all odds, managed to create a great empire that would make him proud of his life.

However, he also made a mistake that he regretted for the rest of his life.

He built the empire next to a huge ancient ruin, which is the most dangerous area of the continent, where the black lifeforms are sealed, the soul abyss.

Of course, he was completely unaware of all this.

In fact, this can't be blamed on him, at the beginning of the empire founded by Ceruno I, it was really difficult to find a region that was not harassed by foreign races and suitable for development in that chaotic era and period of strife.

However, when he accidentally stepped into this place once, he found that this area was different.

Here, everything seems so silent, as if even the air is still.

However, after a long time, he found that the silence here was full of weirdness.

He hesitated at first, after all, this place was so unusual, compared to the chaos outside, it seemed like two different worlds altogether.

Here, you can't even see a single demonic beast, not even a flying insect, everything here reveals a deathly silence.

But this hesitation was all broken up when he heard that on the other side of the continent, the demigod prophets were vigorously encouraging humanity to build homes next to the ruins.

He began to quickly build high walls and fortresses here, officially opening the road to his own empire.

In the beginning, everything went fairly smoothly.

Without the interference of foreign races, the Cheruno Empire developed rapidly, and its army grew for a time.

They began to crusade against the surrounding alien forces, and if they won, they expanded with the trend, and if they lost, they hid back in the empire.

The strange thing is that as soon as their troops retreat into the realm of the empire, neither the undead nor any other alien race will dare to offend this place for half a step.

Ceruno I was also surprised, but when he remembered the counsel given by the Prophet, he attributed it all to the protection of the ruins.

But he was wrong, and he was completely wrong.

In this way, the Cherino Empire survived for decades under the protection of this "relic", and soon after the abdication of Cerino I and the succession of his son Ceruno II, the change finally happened.

At the southern end of the Ceruno Empire, there is a huge cemetery, which is a cemetery specially carved out by the Ceruno Empire for the burial of the dead in battle.

Late one night, while the entire empire was still immersed in the revelry of the ascension of Ceruno II, a soldier on the city wall who was keeping vigil saw a gruesome image.

A large number of figures poured towards the empire from the direction of the huge cemetery, they were armed with stump blades, and they were even wearing the armor of the Cheruno Empire, but their bodies were completely decayed, and only Bai Sensen's bones were left to manipulate them.

The soldier was completely dumbfounded, and it wasn't until the army of the undead approached the city that he roared and alerted the Empire, "There's an enemy attack, there's an enemy attack." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his neck was directly pierced by a long arrow, and he died tragically on the spot.

The three-foot walls of the Cheruno Empire were completely unable to stop the attack of this army of the undead, and they easily climbed the walls like geckos and launched a bloody attack on the Empire.

In an instant, the Cherino Empire, which was originally full of laughter and joy, instantly turned into a sea of blood.
