Chapter 24: The Light of the End
Princess Flora was blindfolded by the Ranger General before she could see clearly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Kail hung the wolf tooth he was wearing around her neck: "This is a holy relic that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Moon Elf royal family, don't be afraid to wear it, if you vomit Gu, you will feel very disgusting." ”
The Ranger General nodded slightly in thanks: "Doesn't His Royal Highness the Prince feel disgusting with the heart on the vine?"
Kayl smiled arrogantly: "The ancestor of the Moon Elves, the 'King of the Crazy Moon', is not undone to string enemies on bamboo poles and place them under the city, as the heir of the King of the Crazy Moon, he can't even stand this little thing, and it's too embarrassing." ”
The blade of Kayir's sword pointed directly at the Mountain of Candles: "The whole army!
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding fog evaporated exponentially, and the soldiers within five meters could not see each other clearly, and even the generals who had been in battle for a long time felt that this sudden fog was much more terrifying than hideous beasts and piles of skeletons.
Suddenly, one of the soldiers let out a terrible scream, and the scream went away at a very alarming speed, which lifted the hearts of the soldiers.
And the first scream is the prelude to the killing feast.
Immediately after that, a dozen black shadows descended from the top of the tree, or broke through the earth, jumping high and low around the soldiers at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, and the soldiers screamed in panic not because they were injured, but because they saw their companion in front of them standing there a second before, and a second later he fell to the ground with a large hole in his chest, but his heart was missing.
And those who died, they didn't even have a chance to shout.
"The whole army!
The soldiers were back to back, their swords in unison, trembling and slowly advancing through the thick fog. Suddenly, the sound of the pounding of their teeth stopped, and they threw their weapons on the ground and left the group in despair, heading deeper into the forest.
"Hey, what! leave the group, you'll be killed by monsters!" the commander struggled to drag him back.
However, the bewildered soldier was so powerful that he threw the commander to the ground, and then continued on his way in a daze.
"What kind of monster? Don't you see? It was a lovely little girl, who was very frightened, and was sitting under a big tree and weeping. I'm going to go and save him. ”
The soldier disappeared into the fog, and it wasn't long before all he was thrown back was just a head.
Prince Kaim realized that staying here would be tantamount to letting his soldiers die in vain, so he ordered a retreat.
"Withdraw the whole army! It's not humans hiding in this forest!"
The Ranger General said solemnly, "It's nightmares and succubi. ”
"What are you talking about?" Khayl was shocked, "aren't nightmares and succubias creatures of darkness?
The Ranger General took off his bow and said vigilantly, "When I traveled in the human kingdom a few decades ago, I personally dealt with this monster. I've dealt with this kind of thing in the Sea of Corrupt Trees bordering the Dark Swamp in the Forest of Golden Dawn, where nightmares hide in the narrow space between reality and nightmares, appearing with a thick fog, killing people silently, as if the victim had a nightmare of having his heart stolen, and never woke up again. Succubi will transform into a beautiful maiden with the ability to seduce people's souls, making people think that they have a gorgeous dream until they are killed. Exactly these two things, the favorite food is the heart. ”
"But...... Isn't the land of the elves protected by the magnificent blue barrier?"
The Ranger General took out the feather arrow from his quiver and responded intently: "Your Royal Highness, are there still few changes in the Hazy Moon Forest now? Today's situation is only one more than one on one side. ”
Hearing the sound of his subordinates dying one after another, Kayl's anger overwhelmed his fear, and he roared angrily: "What a guts! Dare to kill the Lone King's subordinates in front of the Lone King, inhuman things, it's too late for you to beg for mercy now!"
Flora exclaimed, "Assistant! Cayl, this is not a situation you can handle!"
Kayl didn't listen, and rushed forward with the moon in his hand, the sword qi was like the wind and set off a shocking tide, and the sword momentum was like a mad full moon, although he didn't kill the nightmare that pounced in the fog, but the fog where the nightmare was hiding was blown away by a strong knife wind!
The nightmare came into contact with the silver sunlight that penetrated through the cracks in the trees, and the originally pale skin turned black and shrunk, burning with light blue flames, and the posture of the girl in the white dress could no longer be maintained, and on her carbonized corpse in the flames, countless hideous and desperate faces suddenly appeared, which were the faces of the people she had eaten, and these faces let out a miserable cry together, and the roar seemed to come from the abyss of hell, as if it could shake everyone's soul away from the body.
"Monsters, nothing in this world can be feared by the heirs of the King of the Moon, who will bring terror to all things. ”
Sure enough, although the nightmares were ready to move, they did not dare to pounce before the fog condensed.
The Ranger General then shot an arrow into the sky.
"Siege Arrow, Shattered Star!"
The arrows exploded violently as they reached the canopy, blasting a large hole in the dead trees that obscured the sky, and the clear silver sunlight slanted in the evil forest, completely blocking the pursuit of nightmares and succubi.
Retreating to the foot of the mountain, Prince Cayl ordered Field Marshal Ludgar to arrive immediately.
"Order the artillery department to come over with the moonlight pulse cannon, and the lonely king will blow this mountain to the ground. ”
Lu Dejia's expression flickered: "Do you want to use the latest strategic weapons in your own country?"
"When these monsters turned this mountain into hell, they didn't think it was my country. ”
Kayl stood in the setting sun and pointed to the hills, and after a brief silence, a huge blast swept the trunks of the thousand-year-old giant tree into the sky, and the hills disappeared completely, leaving only a circular crater with a faint blue moonfire.
Princess Flora, who had witnessed so many astonishing events one after another, could only put her hands to her heart uneasily and stood beside the Ranger General without saying a word.
The Ranger General watched the sky and earth suddenly darken, and looked at the sky and found that it was the light of the Mithril Moon that had weakened a lot.
"Did the energy come from the light of the Mithril Moon from the shelling just now?"
Kayl took a deep breath: "That's right, that shot exhausted the last of today's glory. Although it is still daylight, I am afraid that the people of the main city will have to live in darkness for the rest of the year. ”
Kayl looked back, his smile still as arrogant as usual.
"O princess of a foreign land, take all this to heart. Remember the horrors of nightmares and succubi, remember that the vanished mountain was once a hell that existed in the present world, and remember that the Lone King used extreme weapons not to kill, but to protect. ”
Kayir's words became a prophecy, and the whole incident of investigating and dealing with the girl's kidnapping case, he gambled on the last glory of the Hazy Moon Forest, and this burst of light full of fighting intent flashed, and the black shadow still stood still, which meant that the real long night of the Moon Elf Country had come.
The artillery bombardment destroys the creatures of darkness and also destroys the strong evidence against the regent. The regent and the black-clothed witch walked up to the royal court with an innocent face.
When the two sides met, the air in the royal court froze, and Kayl closed his eyes and meditated, if the regent aggressively asked why the mountain was bombarded, how to prevaricate vaguely but majestically, and if the regent simply forced the palace, then Tsukimi was placed on the side of the throne, and he was sure to strike first.
Yet a few minutes of silence passed, and the regent did not question anything, except made an irrelevant request that was within his duties.
"Although the young lord is the leader, that hill is a private domain, and since you have destroyed his property with extreme weapons, I suggest that it is necessary for you to compensate the master. ”
Kayir's eyes were as cold as a lone wolf: "That's right, leave the matter of compensation to Uncle Wang." ”
The regent bowed slightly: "The subordinates obey the order." The subordinates calculated the losses, and the amount that needed to be allocated from the Ministry of Finance should be 1.5 million gold coins, and if the young master had no objection, the subordinates asked the treasurer to transfer the money to the Field Marshal. ”
Kayl slapped his handrail and stood up: "What? 1.5 million gold coins? Do you know that such a huge sum of money can buy ten mountains like that! And why should this compensation be transferred to the Field Marshal!"
"Because Field Marshal Ludgar is the master of that mountain. The regent smiled politely, "The subordinates did not overestimate the amount of compensation, because the trees planted on the hill were all extremely valuable timber, such as sandalwood and yellow pear trees, which were really valuable. ”
Hardly thinking, Kayl asked aloud why the old man had such a huge property, but he gritted his teeth and finally forced the question back.
Cayl knew the origins of Ludgar's estate, which had been obtained by taking bribes from the Sun Elves.
But once this topic detonates in the royal court, it will be out of control. Ludegar's acceptance of bribes was hateful, but the old man was still loyal to him, and he was one of the few ministers in the main city who was unwilling to obey the regent's orders.
But the ministers would not give Prince Kayl a chance to pretend to be confused, and they all got down on one knee, touched their breasts with their hands in righteous indignation, and said loudly: "The salary income of the field marshal is far from reaching such an amount, and the means by which Lord Ludegar obtained such a huge amount of property, the ministers hope that the young lord will thoroughly investigate it!"
For the first time, Kayl's nails dug deep into the handrail, and for the first time he felt hopeless, he could only say weakly: "The lonely king is tired, let me leave this matter for tomorrow." ”
