Chapter 67: The Reason

Makmuk Province, south.

Due to the frequent outbreaks of demonic plagues, the local tribes wrote to the House of Commons with rare deference to request relief, and as they expected, the cabinet unsurprisingly approved their request and asked for the aid of the rescue army.

But at present, the imperial army is too busy to take care of itself, how can it really help this group of chiefs who are quick to come to the yang and obey the yin, so they directly threw the plate to the local Shejian City, which still has combat power, but Shejian City suffers from a lack of military funds and is unable to fight.

In desperation, several tribal chiefs could only lead their troops to flee south, and the monsters continued to chase them like maggots on tarsal bones, and after many days and nights, the sky turned white, and the frightened crowd realized that they had reached the end of the world.

Where heaven and earth meet, a black line gradually emerges, and before the sound of hooves is heard, dense monsters grazed the void border, surging like a tide, devouring everything.

The shadow-drowned world has lost its light and hope, leaving only an endless black, hunting and dancing in the emptiness.

Chief Abdul raised his withered hands, and cloudy tears welled up from his dry eyes, and cried out heartbreakingly: "O true God whom I admire from the heart, have you forsaken your pious people?"

A barb-covered hard tentacle pierced his chest, the wound not bleeding, but spreading like blackened ashes, eroding his entire body in the blink of an eye, and the flesh melted away, leaving only a pale skeleton looking up at the sky.

"This is the test of the true God! Do not hesitate for the warriors of the Lord to ascend to heaven and enjoy ...... Ahhh

A black-robed wizard shouted frantically, and then a black goat with bat-wings descended from the sky, pulled it straight into the air, and removed the roaring head in front of everyone.

The skull, unsupported, snapped and fell to the ground. Brains and blood were sprinkled all the way, rolling to the feet of a father and daughter.

"Daddy, I'm afraid ......" The dusty little girl cried out in fright at the blood.

The middle-aged father hugged his daughter tightly and said with a pale face:

"Xurem, don't be afraid...... The true God will bless us, and all of this is a test of the true God for us. When our hearts and minds reach Heaven, the true God will restore all things to peace......"

A humanoid black goat with poisonous insects wrapped around its body swept by like the wind, and a huge scythe two meters long and pitch-black rolled up the withered grass and split the father and daughter into four pieces.

......

The Second Mechanized Regiment of the Rescue Army, the first to discover the tragedy, traced the traces left by the refugees and monsters, and in the early morning of April 12, there was no trace of life left on the Void Frontier.

Only a river of bones meandered through the sand, and a skull of theirs was stacked on both sides of the river. Tens of thousands of monsters are using their souls to perform evil sacrifices, trying to gain more power from the Mother Goddess.

There are not many things in the world that can make a Dayuan mage lose control of his emotions, but at this time, the white robe embroidered with gold rimmed by this military mage can't help but tremble.

He took out a teak round mirror and chanted a spell in a trembling voice, and the round mirror floated from his hands, the light flickering, and relayed the bloody scene to the commander's tent in the distance.

......

Inside the big tent. The image suspended in mid-air slowly changes, with white bones, monsters, resentful spirits, and scattered skulls...... Gliding in front of everyone's eyes.

Incomparably calm, incomparably depressing. Like the darkness before dawn, the calm before the storm.

Bang!

A young officer slammed his right fist on the table and said loudly: "General, it has been confirmed that all the refugees are dead, so there is no need to hesitate now." ”

As he moved, the saber clicked on his tall waist.

Cromwell. Belonging to the side branch of the royal family, the holder of the Holy Sword Daylight Wheel, and holding the Third Mechanical Legion of the Empire, he is a famous young talent of the Agaric family's generation.

Along the way, he has been opposing his boss's resource-wasting rescue orders. Thinking that these refugees are at the end of their rope and are not worth saving at all, they can be buried with artillery fire and monsters from a distance, saving time and effort.

"Sit down! ”

The speaker was General Waldo, the only officer in the room who could hold Cromwell down, a commoner who had achieved his present position entirely by merit and strength, and who had high prestige in the army.

"Yes. ”

Although Cromwell believed that he was noble and unruly, he did not have the courage to contradict his superiors, and he immediately bent his knees when he drank it, but when he sat down, he touched the long table and made a noise.

Click!

At this moment, a black crack dozens of yards long opened in the sky in the mirror, and the dense blood-colored eyes looked at the mechanical legion from the other side of the black crack. The next moment, a huge claw skull emerged from it, opening its huge mouth, and the space in front of it collapsed in an instant, and the distorted light pulled forward, and a large number of wraiths wailed and were torn into the hollow.

"Void Rift?"

Seeing this scene, General Waldo's expression changed, and he immediately gave the order for shelling:

"Fire!"

The picture in the mirror changed suddenly, hundreds of dark red pillars of destruction light instantly pierced the heavens and the earth, the muzzle of the cannon was only three feet in diameter, and the shock wave at the other end was already more than twenty yards, directly covering the surface where the monster was entrenched. The light of destruction crushed the earth, and everything in its path, whether monsters or spirits, was annihilated and erased out of thin air.

Immediately afterward, a dazzling light rose into the sky, and a deafening vibration sound stirred.

After the smoke and heat subsided, the ground that had been flattened for dozens of yards spread to the ground at the end of everyone's vision, and the entire ground seemed to be ploughed, and the monsters had been completely swept away.

"If you had decided earlier, I think we would have cut our losses in half. Cromwell stared at the picture in the mirror, a happy smile on his face.

Waldo looked at the officers under his tent and asked calmly:

"Major Cromwell, I want to ask you, have we exterminated fewer demonic plagues during this period of time? But the demonic plagues are still breaking out one after another, why is this?"

Cromwell didn't expect the other party to let him answer this question, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he was unprepared, he quickly stood up, opened his mouth but didn't speak.

"You have to understand that what we need to do more than destroy the monsters is to find out why...... Colonel, there's a lot more to learn, like ...... Respect superiors!"

A trace of cold light in the general's eyes quickly spread, passing through the space and shooting directly into the other party's heart.

“......”

Cromwell suddenly felt a chill, and his face turned blue, and he slowly lowered his head.

......

Celtic, sanatorium.

"You've finally come to see me, sir!"

Louis ran up to Yare with a bouquet of flowers, stood on tiptoe and pressed the bouquet to his face, his small mouth slightly bent down, revealing a sad expression:

"I thought you forgot about me and never came again. ”

"How so. ”

The black-haired knight took the flowers, then picked up the little nurse and held her in the crook of his arm: "It's just that I'm too busy during this time, do you see that I'm not coming when I'm free?"

"Hmm!"

Louis nodded vigorously and said obediently:

"I'm happy now. ”

"How are you doing during this time?"

Yare asked, hugging her as she walked down the hallway.

"The birds have flown away...... "The green eyes of the lake blinked, and tears gradually welled up, and the little nurse said sadly, "Now only the big black is left." ”

When the black-haired knight heard this, he turned his head and saw that a large crow was hiding in the grass and peeping in this direction, and when he saw that he turned around, he immediately quacked and flew into the sky with a frightened scream.

Yalei watched the little nurse's personal attendant escape, and couldn't help but say, "It's okay, as long as you want, I can catch a few more big blacks and give them to you." ”

Louis curled a strand of hair around his thin white fingers, wrinkled his nose reluctantly, and whispered, "One big black is enough, Louis wants to play with Mr. ”

The black-haired knight laughed, patted her head and said, "I'm here this time, just to take you away for a while, you can come back to the sanatorium at any time and give yourself a long vacation, how about it?"

"Okay. ”

The little nurse waved a bouquet of flowers and said with a smile: "As long as you are with your husband, you can go anywhere." ”

"You're going to love it. ”

Yare twisted his heel and walked towards the exit of the sanatorium: "There are a lot of girls as big as you, a lot of strange plants, and a lot of my friends......"

"But......" The little nurse curled up a little fearfully, and asked timidly:

"Will they like Louis?"

"I'm going to like you, because you're like my sister. ”

The black-haired knight comforted her and carried her into his carriage.

The time is not far off for the financial collapse of the Highland Kingdom, and he has come this time to pick up Louis from the nursing home temporarily, so that the girl will not be affected by the war.

......

Gramorgan, the cellar of the Earls Court.

After Aisha woke up from her coma, she felt an indescribable sense of relief and comfort, and it was the first time she had entered such a state of serene contentment without the help of drugs.

Opening their eyes, the dryads found themselves in a dimly lit space, surrounded by stone walls on three sides and an iron fence in front of them.

A translucent figure disappeared into the stone wall in a trance, and Aisha patted her face, thinking that she was dazzled, and she sat up from the humble bed, her thoughts gradually clear.

Judging from the current situation, he is imprisoned, if he commits suicide now......

The moment this thought flashed through the dryad's mind, she recalled the scene of drifting in the boundless darkness, the kind of soul-level pain, and she couldn't control a spasm.

Can't die...... There's no point in dying...... The governor must have had a way of interrogating him with everything he wanted. (To be continued.) )
