Dididi...

A little rain gradually fell, wetting the earth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the heavy rain, a team escorting supplies hid in a residential house and was sheltering from the rain.

"Haha, I heard that before leaving, our festival said that there might be heavy rain recently, so we deliberately left a few days early. I didn't expect to really run into it. ”

A gruff voice echoed all around. A big man in leather armor said with a smile as he watched the heavy rain in front of him.

"It's okay, I left a few days early, otherwise, I might not be able to catch up. After a while, he sighed again.

Seeing his appearance, beside him, a young man who looked very young looked at him curiously: "Uncle Andy, what's wrong?"

"Is there something wrong on the front line?"

Andy turned to look at the young man, and saw the deep curiosity in his eyes, so he patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I don't know if it's true, I have a distant relative who is the commander of a hundred people on the front line, and he often asks people to send some news." ”

"And according to the news he came, I heard that on the front line, the number of demonic beasts that were originally everywhere has begun to decrease, and even His Majesty Artis seems to have begun to order the troops to take the initiative to attack, and it seems that it will end soon. ”

Ding...

At this time, the sound of utensils falling to the ground sounded, which made the big man stunned.

He turned around to look and saw that outside the house, the bowl that a middle-aged woman was holding had fallen to the ground, and some of the dough contained in it had fallen to the ground. And in her eyes, there was a faint hint of excitement, watching them there, and leaving for a long time.

"Alas. ”

Seeing her like this, beside the big man, a middle-aged man let out a sigh.

Seeing that the people around him were a little confused, the man opened his mouth to explain: "The two children of this family are both soldiers. Moreover, because a year ago, the former line ordered all the legions stationed nearby to be transferred to resist the demon tide. At this time, all of them were stationed on the front line, and they had not been back for a long time. ”

When he said this, all those present were silent.

"Actually, we're pretty good here. Although the frontline demon tide broke out, many people died. But the tide of evil has been stopped, and the families of the soldiers who died in the war have a lot of land compensation, plus some other compensation, and there is still a good life. ”

"If it's in the south, it's miserable. I heard that the demon tide on the Wang Court's side is also very powerful, and it can't be stopped, I don't know how many people died. ”

In the silence, another person interjected, immediately attracting the attention of the surrounding people.

After a while, wait until the rain outside has been falling for a long time and gradually stopping. The group began to set off again, escorting supplies, and continued to advance towards the front line.

・・・

In a fortress on the front line of the Northern Demon Tide, the battle was still beginning at this time.

After a long period of time, the huge tide of demonic beasts like the one when they first came here is almost invisible. On this land, countless converging demonic beasts began to gradually disperse, fighting the frontline warriors in one place and another, dyeing the land with a little blood.

"How's Nadil doing?"

On the city wall, Artis asked casually as he watched countless arrows fly out beside him, piercing through the demon gods.

Standing beside him was Bill, who was dressed in a sacrificial robe, and the divine power on his body was rippling at this time, as if he had also brought a little bit of iron and blood after a long battle.

With a straight face, he looked at Artis in front of him and said, "Captain Nadir sent a message two days ago, saying that the tide of demonic beasts in one of his defenses has begun to subside, and it is more than half less than it was at the beginning. ”

"And the news from several other defense lines is similar, the demonic beasts are gradually becoming scarce, and many of the garrisoned legion commanders have sent orders, asking His Majesty to give the initiative to attack in order to clear the demonic beasts outside the defense line. ”

Hearing the news, Artis breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone fell in his heart.

"It's been more than a year!" he sighed, a little embarrassed.

"This battle was too hard. ”

Hearing his words, the servants standing around him also nodded, looking deeply convinced.

However, on the side, Bill smiled when he saw Artis sighing like this: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to have such feelings." ”

"However, we have a hard time, and others may not feel better. ”

Seeing him say this, Artis turned around: "You mean, the royal court?"

"Is there any news from the Southern Court?" he asked rhetorically.

Bill nodded: "There is news from the priests in disguise and some of our caravans that the demon tide seems to be still breaking out in the royal court in the south. ”

"Compared to us, the demon tide that broke out on the other side was not inferior in any way, and it directly swept half of the Southern Regions, and I don't know how many people died. ”

Moreover, because of the new succession to the throne of the opposing king, many of the traditional nobles of the royal court, although they recognized his rule, were far less appealing than the previous king. Especially after its defeat in the first battle, it is now allowing the demon tide to break through the defense line directly, and it can be said that its prestige has been greatly lost. ”

He said.

However, listening to his narration, Artis shook his head: "Although it sounds reasonable. But there must be other reasons for this. ”

"Not bad. ”

Bill said: "It seems that his hands and feet are not clean, and the eldest prince and the second prince who were decisively killed in the imperial capital are just stand-ins." Later, he stood up and started a rebellion, and even secretly manipulated the king when he was defending against the demon tide in the south, which directly led to his defeat in the first battle. ”

"Is that so?" thought Artis silently.

"Didn't Wang Tingzu God make a move?" After a while, he spoke again, startling Bill in front of him.

He naturally understood what Artis meant. In fact, the existence of the ancestral gods is not a major secret to these sacrifices to the gods of nature, and even high priests such as Bill have personally participated in the suppression of the ancestral gods.

To them, these are evil gods.

Bill lowered his head and thought carefully, and in his mind, information about the royal court appeared one by one, and then gradually summed up the results.

In the end, he shook his head: "There is no sign of any attack, even when the demon tide broke through the defense line, the royal court ancestor god did not appear, and it seems that he fell into a deep sleep directly." ”

"Sure enough. The thought flashed through Artis's mind, and he knew the key in his heart.

Although these ancestral gods seem to be powerful, they actually have limitations. If there is no power replenishment of the usual blood sacrifice, once the power is consumed too much, it will fall into a deep sleep, unless someone wakes up, or it will not wake up easily.

And the last time, when the Duchy of Adixu fought a war with the royal court, the ancestral god of the royal court and the god of nature faced each other directly.

The great war between those beings is so costly. It is even more fatal for an existence like an ancestral god that relies on blood sacrifices, so after the battle, he immediately fell into a deep sleep, even if there was a big fight outside, he never woke up.

"However, although I am asleep, I am afraid that I still have the most basic sense. If you feel the main body, or the breath of the demon god, I am afraid that you will immediately wake up from your slumber. ”

"Even now, although he hasn't woken up for a while, as the tide of demonic beasts becomes more and more turbulent in the south, sooner or later he will feel the crisis and wake up directly. ”

Artis looked at the sky in the distance, and his thoughts flowed: "But this process is not so fast. This period of time is the time for development. ”

"Send someone to attack. He looked at the scenery in front of him and said to Bill on the side, "After so much tug-of-war, it's time to get rid of this place." ”

In his field of vision, at this time, above the distant land, the original lingering deep demonic nature was gradually fading. It seems that since the last time the demon god's heart blew itself up, the collapse of that alien space has gradually begun.

And now, it has reached a critical point.

As his order was given, all of a sudden, the entire front line boiled, and they all advanced to the border under the leadership of various army commanders, directly bulldozing the countless demonic beasts blocking them in the road.

At this time, on the front line, if you add some reserve corps, after a steady stream of reinforcements this year, it has exceeded 100,000 at this time. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in one place, and the huge force collided directly with the countless demonic beasts on the border of the Northern Regions.

Countless warriors fought bloody battles in unfamiliar places, and began to fight against the hideous and terrifying monsters.

And among them, those ordinary demonic beasts are quite easy to deal with, after Artis promoted Dou Qi in the army, as well as more than a year of tempering, at this time in the army on the front line, there are generally practitioners of Dou Qi. Even an ordinary soldier in the army has the level of knightly servant in the past.

And if it is those officers who are ten people long, hundred people long and the like, the requirements are even more powerful, and now, to say the least, they also need formal knight cultivation to be able to serve, and there are often cultivators of divine arts.

But at the level of the Great Knight and the Earth Knight it is much worse. Even if Artis has been vigorously developing over the years, there are still not many of them.

After all, in just over a year, being able to make an ordinary person reach the knight level is already considered a genius level, let alone even better.

Moreover, among the demon tides in the Northern Regions, there are still a large number of third-level demonic beasts. Often, the first occurrence is a catastrophe of great proportions, enough to break through a line of defense and slaughter countless people.

Therefore, under the orders of Artis, countless sacrifices were drawn out one after another and came to the front line to cooperate with the army to suppress the demon tide.

Even Pope Granma was drawn in and personally led the sacrifices.

And under the suppression of this powerful lineup, soon, half a year later, as the deep demonic nature that was originally shrouded in the earth gradually faded, the originally ubiquitous demonic beasts also gradually disappeared under the encirclement, leaving only a piece of wreckage, which was burned by the army.

At this point, the demon tide that had been raging in the north for many years was finally suppressed.
