Chapter 35: The Fall of the Adjudicator (6)
It was a hurried morning. While the morning star was still twinkling in the sky, the men of the city hurriedly finished their breakfast and hurried up the city walls.
There were also women all over the city who were early risers. They reluctantly bid farewell to their husbands or sons at the door, and then sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the sleeping children. From time to time, they would tilt their heads and listen intently for any terrible sounds coming from outside the city, feeling uneasy.
Queen Saiya, dressed in golden armor, also appeared early in the city. She patrolled the city walls, followed by Princess Catherine, the commander of the Second Corps, the Queen Mother, and the former Queen Regent, Laurel. Cousin Cuthbert followed them closely with a group of generals.
As they passed, the soldiers and militiamen clasped their weapons and raised their right hands diagonally in front of their left chests, stroking their hearts beating wildly because of nervousness, and whispering an oath: "Courage and honor!"
"Courage and honor!" Queen Saiya and Princess Catherine replied.
When the sky was just showing the white of the fish's belly, the tour of the entire castle had ended. The group stood at the main gate of the castle, looking at the dimly lit foothills, and beside them was the fierce fluttering red lion flag.
The garrison camp at the foot of the mountain was also lined up, facing the wilderness that was still spitting a thin morning mist. The only difference from the castle is that their flags are a bit cluttered, with the sky blue lion king flag, the green nine-headed monster flag, the golden yellow golden dragon flag, and many of the flags embroidered with the wings of the flying Roc.
They waited in silence until the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds and began to shine on the whole earth.
"Are you all ready?" asked Queen Thea in a low voice as Cuthbert.
"Rest assured, all the troops are ready and awaiting your orders!" replied Cuthbert.
"What about the Nobel High Priests?"
"They did all the preparations a few days ago!"
"Looks like I'll have to rely on them to defeat this powerful enemy in front of me!" In order to form this secret force, she pulled out more than a million gold coins from the tight treasury! That's a huge financial expense, and she hopes it will be worth it.
"They won't let you down!" Cuthbert turned his head to look at the Nobel High Priest, who was walking up and down the battlefield, wiping his sweat, and felt that he was a bit like an ant on a hot pan.
"They're coming!" the soldiers began to whisper.
There were some voices on the northern horizon. At first it was rustling, like a breeze blowing dust, then like a growing hurricane, blowing up dead leaves and gravel in the field, and at last it was like a huge hail falling to the ground, and the trembling eardrums could no longer hear any other sound!
The storm is coming!!
Saiya tried not to look at the faces of the warriors around her. Because her heart is also beating!
Over there, the horizon began to unfold, with huge shadows as far as the eye could see. The shadow was like a tumbling dark cloud, driven by the bitter hurricane of the north, and every inch of land it passed through immediately turned into darkness, and the light had been mercilessly swallowed up!
Slowly, a mournful song began to be heard at the foot of the mountain, singing over and over again......
Everyone was listening, and so was Seya. As the song grew louder and louder, she could hear it at last! They were singing:
"Life is like morning dew, death is like fireflies! Life is also joyful, death is also bitter! If I die in battle, do not bury my bones; Tuo Ti Mountain, return to dust! In your heart, let me live forever!"
"This is the Legion Song of the Hart Legion!" Catherine explained, "The Legion was founded by the Rangers' legendary commander Christine and their descendants, and later joined many brave warriors......!
Catherine paused for a moment, then continued: "They fought the northern front, but they suffered heavy losses...... Now they are singing this song, which is an oath that they are ready to face death!"
"Then let our blood flow on this sacred earth!" Queen Saiya became excited: "May our blood wash away all the evil in the world!" She also began to chant softly to the rhythm of the melody:
"Life is like morning dew, death is like fireflies! Life is also joyful, death is also bitter! If I die in battle, do not bury my bones; Tuo Ti Mountain, return to dust! In your heart, let me live forever!"
Every time she sang it, she felt that the fear in her heart had faded a point, and her courage had increased several times!
No wonder people like to speak loudly or sing loudly when they are in the dark, or in the wilderness!
The loud singing is no longer tragic, but inspiring and exciting!
The army of the undead on the opposite side was approaching, and the air was filled with the stench of vomiting rotting corpses and the coldness of death.
One after another, there were loud orders from the necromancers.
With a bang, the whole earth suddenly fell silent.
This is the second time that Seya has faced the undead. She hadn't forgotten that on her way back from the Isle of Light, she was attacked and captured by the undead. Looking at the distorted and terrifying faces of the undead, a chill suddenly surged through Saiya's heart.
On the city wall, a sharpshooter with a large waist and a round waist bent his bow and shot an arrow into the sky.
The arrow pierced the sky and then fell with a whizz, only to land only a few hundred meters in front of the army of the undead. The necromancers began to laugh loudly.
The Nobel High Priest ran over panting and whispered, "Their position is too far back, I can't attack them!"
"They're coming, don't be in a hurry!" Coosbert reassured.
Catherine tidied up her armor and prepared to go down to the city, but was held back by her mother Laurel.
"Catherine, what do you want to do?" said Laurel nervously.
"As a commander, I must meet their commanders on the battlefield!"
"Don't be stupid, I know what you want to do!" Laurel pulled her daughter tightly: "No one can beat him, not to mention that he doesn't know anyone anymore!"
"I've got to do something!" struggled Catherine, "I don't want the ...... of the past Friend, the Chosen One, Prince Regent of Erathia, has become our enemy!"
"Listen to your mother, Catherine!" the Queen Mother also advised: "You should not spare your own life, but also think about the child in your womb!"
Kid?, Catherine smiled wryly. Kid, did you know that your biological parents are about to meet each other on this battlefield!
"I want to talk to him too...... "Saya also pleaded, "Just let me go with my sister to meet him!"
"Oh my God, are you all crazy?" cried the two mothers, "don't forget, one of you is the king of Erathia, and the other is the commander of the three armies!
"Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Commander, you can talk to Guzi, but you don't need to be on the front line!" Cuthbert suddenly interjected.
"Yes, that's great!" the four women immediately rejoiced.
"Yes!" said Cusper, "I have taken this into account and enlisted the help of the Nobel High Priest," and he led the four women to a pile of twisted metal pipes.
What's the use of this? The metal tube is like a trumpet vine, with a huge flower blooming at the top.
"Speak to this end of the pipe, I can guarantee that you will be heard by the entire field!"
Seya walked over to the metal pipe in disbelief, and put her lips to the side of the metal pipe.
She coughed softly, but was startled by the loud sound coming from the trumpet flower.
It seems that there are a lot of people who are frightened. Seya was stunned before he opened his mouth, and tears fell down his eyes:
"Millet...... Guzi, are you there? Can you hear me?"
"We've been apart for almost half a year, and I've been thinking about you all the time......! But I can't believe you, I'm going to meet in such a situation!"
"Guzi, are you listening? I'm your wife...... Saiya's voice choked.
"They say you've forgotten everything, but I'm always sure you won't forget me...... Come out, take a good look at me, look at these people in front of you! They were all your good friends, good brothers, if you take a good look and think about it, you will surely remember something......"
Seya called over and over again, but there was no movement in front of the undead camp.
"Could it be...... Shouldn't I call you Guzi anymore, call you the Chosen One, call you His Royal Highness Prince Regent, but call you Thoth, the Adjudicator of Death?" a look of despair appeared on Seya's face.
With a bang, the undead camp was immediately knocked away by a tall figure, and the undead stumbled to both sides and fell down a large area.
The man was bloated, and his whole body shone with a shiny black light! Was that the heavy armor he was wearing?
On closer inspection, the iron bumps on his body seemed to be alive, and they were still squirming slightly.
He had four arms, holding a heavy sword, a heavy axe, a heavy hammer, and a strong shield, and there seemed to be a pair of large crows around his neck.
With every step he took, the earth seemed to tremble!
Oh my God, is that still a human? It's a giant beetle standing up!
Seya felt dizzy in front of her. She pushed away the Queen Mother, who was trying to come to her aid, and insisted: "Okay, it seems that you like your new name and new title very much! Well, then swing your sword at your wife, at your friends and brothers, we are ready!"
"What is that woman on the wall babbling about?damn it, I'm not called Guzi, and I'm not your Prince Regent, my name is Toth, the Death Adjudicator Toth!"
Thoth roared loudly, louder than the sound that Thea had come out of the trumpet flower.
"But I don't mind you being my wife! Even though you're pregnant, you're still pretty good-looking!" Toth put his hands under his crotch and began to push forward without stopping: "Open the gates at once, then lie on my bed and let me you hard!"
The necromancers began to laugh, and Thea on the city wall was immediately held up by the Queen Mother and Laurel, who were following closely behind.
"Gu Shiyu, you nasty embryo!!" Catherine cried out angrily, her voice enveloping the entire field: "Come forward, let me cut off your head with a sharp sword!"
Thoth, the Death Judge, was not intimidated by the loud roar of the Hedong lion. He replied loudly, "Who is that woman?, do you want me to fuck too?!"
Catherine was so angry that she almost vomited blood! She finally suppressed her tumbling qi and blood, and shouted angrily, "My name is Catherine! Don't you remember? Well, since you say so, then let's let the whole world watch, who whom?!"
"Catherine?" Toth began to mutter, "I've heard of this name, it seems to be a very powerful character!"
He strode and began to advance towards the open space in front of the position.
Led by him, the army of the undead also began to advance.
"Soldiers, get ready for battle!" Cuthbert raised his sword aloft.
The whining trumpets began to sound! All the warriors unsheathed their swords and loaded their bows!
