Chapter 87: The Heroes of the Nation (1)
Casper's body was reduced to crystal gravel and scattered between heaven and earth, and after the last grains of sand disappeared into the night sky, Aremer stood up silently and limped towards the ruins of the fortress.
I will take your words to heart!
Ebenezer watched him leave, then cast his gaze upwards, where a large dragon shadow had obscured the sky above, and Sigma's voice rang out:
"Ebenezer, you must leave this area immediately, this is the sub-world structure formed by the essence of the evil god, and soon, it will give birth to the rudiments of a chaotic world. ”
"Is there a way to destroy it?" his gaze returned to where Casper had disappeared, his indifference unemotional.
"We'll have to wait for it to give birth to a core, but at that time, it will inevitably be born with a large number of monster legions...... Be mentally prepared, it's the essence of half an evil god. ”
"I see, there should still be wine in the cellar of the fortress, please dig them up. ”
......
On the ruins at the edge of the fortress, everyone stopped cheering in tacitly, because they could all feel how strange the gray space in front of them was, and it seemed that the battle was still going on.
"Yare, what's going on? Why did you just run away all at once, and you can't stop shouting. The old sergeant Gelin walked up to him and asked with a light cough.
"General Casper...... He's dead. The black-haired knight's eyes were swirling with cold blood, and his clenched hands were so hard that the bracers of his armor rattled.
“......”
The old non-commissioned officer was silent, and after a long time, he patted him on the shoulder:
"You have to understand. In the midst of the war. There will always be glorious sacrifices. ”
"I understand. Yalei nodded stiffly.
"I understand your mood right now. Believe me. Annette walked up to him and said sincerely, "But now is not the time to grieve...... Sorry, I don't know if that's right......"
"I'm fine. The black-haired knight smiled reluctantly.
"Yare Bernstein, are you?" Just as the atmosphere between the two of them froze, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind them.
"I'm just, is there something wrong?" the black-haired knight asked, trying to control his emotions and pretending to be calm.
"I'm General Ebenezer's aide-de-camp, and he asked me to give this thing to you. Said to be a relic of General Casper. The visitor handed him a long metal box, bowed slightly, and turned and strode away.
"Relic ......"
Yalei held the metal box in his hand, silently opened the lid of the box, and inside was a dark blue heavy sword with a restrained divine light, the sword was more than two feet long, and the connection between the scabbard and the sword grid was locked by two metal chains.
"Is this the sword that Mr. Casper left me?" the black-haired knight grabbed the scabbard and hilt with both hands, trying to pull out the blade of the sword, and tried several times. But I never got it out.
"This is a sword with great power, mostly a magic sword...... There is also a point that it may be the Holy Sword. "Jerin prides himself on being well-informed. Said immediately and conclusively.
"Magic sword...... Yalei tied the heavy sword to the sword hanging on his belt, even if he couldn't use it for the time being, he could only carry it on his body first, after all, he couldn't put it anywhere.
"It looks like the battle is going on, and the light curtain on the opposite side has been spreading. Garth trotted all the way over, and said a little unwillingly.
"That's just right. Under the helmet's visor, the corners of the black-haired knight's lips curled in a hideous arc.
"Do you still need this box?" Jerin asked suddenly.
"What do you want this box for?" Areley didn't understand what he meant.
The old non-commissioned officer took out the yellow crystal in his ** pocket and smiled:
"Now that the fortress and camp are gone, I always feel that it is not safe to put it on my body, so it is better to put it in this box first, and then engrave the name and throw it here, so that it is convenient to take it away after the battle. ”
"Good way. ”
Arei immediately engraved his name with his finger, and then put the strand of Charlene that he had left for himself, and Annette also put a coin in the same way, and Colen Cassya, thinking about it, put one of his daggers in it.
"And mine. Snake pulled out a ring and threw it into the box amid the sinister smiles of the crowd.
"I have it too. Garth saw that everyone was let go, and he had nothing to do, so he simply cut off his beard, laughed and stuffed it in.
Just when everyone was talking, in the flame-red sky, suddenly there was a snowflake as big as a mat, or mixed with white ice crystals in the middle, and hundreds of miles near the dreadnought fortress were instantly covered in silver makeup, and turned into the ice field before.
"It's snowing, it's finally cool!"
"The fire is gone, the special fire is finally extinguished, hahahaha!"
"It's better to freeze to death than to burn to death, it's bigger!"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the figure of Major General Ebenezer appeared high above the ruins, indifferently glancing at the legion, and in his gaze that was colder than the wind and snow, everyone returned to silence.
"There are parents and brothers who have died, come out!" Suddenly, like ice and stones, the sound of cold bone marrow spread with the wind and snow.
“......”
More than a dozen knights looked around for a moment, although they hadn't figured out the situation yet, but after all, the order was given priority, and they all hesitated to the front.
"Those who have only children in the family and have no righteous relatives are out of the ranks!"
Dozens of more knights walked out of the large group in confusion.
"Those who are unmarried, have no queens and no brothers, are listed!"
Including Yalei, a wave of knights followed to the front of the line in a daze.
......
Ebenezer looked at them silently, from beginning to end, a soft look appeared on his face, and his voice seemed to have a trace of warmth:
"You have fought valiantly since you entered this battlefield full of death, and now, having successfully completed all your tasks, you are the backbone of the Empire...... From now on, you are all honorably separated from the Holy Knights, go home. ”
"Why? Isn't the battle over?"
"Everyone is here together, why is it only us going home, we want to go together!"
"General, we're going to take down those monsters before we go!"
The knights were in an instant uproar, completely unable to accept this order, and you protested one by one.
"Quiet!"
Ebenezer's order was concise and effective, and the crowd fell silent for a moment, and he was silent for a moment, and then said:
"See that ever-expanding curtain of light? it's the prototype of the Chaos World, and we can only defeat it in one fell swoop when it gives birth to its core...... It's likely to be a battle with no return, and I can't guarantee how many people will survive...... But at the very least, someone has to pass on the blood and spirit of the Holy Knights. ”
......
His voice rippled with the drifting snowflakes, and the knights fell into a brief silence, which was soon broken, and a swordsman with a wounded wrist suddenly stepped forward, hammered his chest with one hand, and shouted with red eyes:
"Your Majesty has treated me for eleven years, I don't go anywhere, I'm here, I want to live together, I want to die together!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and he seemed to say what everyone wanted, and a heavy shield soldier with a gray beard immediately stepped forward, pressed his right chest hard, and said loudly:
"We have never been intimidated by death in the past, and now we will not cower in the face of death!"
"Where can we go, behind us is our house!" said the lookout beside him excitedly almost at the same time.
At the back of the group, one of the guards fell to one knee with a blazing fire burning in his eyes, almost melting the snow and ice around him:
"Rosevia, our Divine Mother, if not like our ancestors, at least, let us shed our last drop of blood for it. ”
Accompanied by his impassioned statement, everyone only felt that their blood was boiling like fire, and they knelt on one knee one after another:
"General, we will never leave!"
In this blazing faith, what else can't be melted?
No matter how cold his personality was, Ebenezer could not remain silent in this death-defying determination, and at this moment, he knew better than anyone else that it took courage to retreat rather than advance in the face of such a warrior.
"Bring all the wine. ”
In the midst of the ice and snow, dozens of warlord gendarmes carried barrels of spirits in front of everyone, and at the same time, quickly entered the ranks.
......
Ebenezer lifted the barrel beside him, Huo Ran smashed the lid of the barrel with a fist, lifted it into the air and drank a few large sips, and with the spicy taste melting from his chest, he roared in an almost boiling voice:
"Stand up and remember this moment! Let us drink the strongest wine and gallop through this last frontier, and let those arrogant evil gods know that even if we destroy the Dreadnought Fortress, we will still have to face our moving walls!"
"Long live Rosevia!
The knights' eyes shone brightly, and they raised their weapons alof, and the earth-shattering cheers almost broke through the sky.
Whoa...... Whoa......
Just as they were drinking their spirits heartily, the strong smell of blood suddenly came from the wind, and everyone suddenly changed color, and their attention turned to the gray space in the distance.
There, blood suddenly poured down like a waterfall, forming a vast wave of blood that swept in all directions, reflecting the nearby sky as red as blood, and the whole world quickly sank into a sea of blood.
Countless negative energies mixed with the flesh and blood of the dead knight rose from the ground and condensed into a mass in mid-air, and the sea of blood immediately rose against the sky, covering the surface of the gray-black thick mist, forming a huge flesh cocoon.
When the blood-colored flesh cocoon is formed, the blood rain suddenly stops, the dead air dries up, and the ground continues to rise and its rolling black sand, all indicating that a chaotic and evil subworld is being born.
A huge blood cocoon covering the sky and the sun lay in mid-air, the gray space was instantly pitch black, and the surging negative energy was frantically squeezing the middle realm, sudden, cracking a few cracks, and the whole world was as turbulent as if it was about to explode.
