Chapter 349: Challenge
Outside the city of Kierros, the cold wind was howling, the flags were waving in the wind, and hundreds of thousands of troops were solemnly and neatly arranged in the open space outside the city, staring at the northern sky.
On the tall walls of Killros stood a dozen spirited old men, most of them dressed in elaborately decorated robes, carrying shiny ornaments, and holding staff that exuded powerful magical fluctuations. They are the members of the Patriarchate of Bracada, the highest decision-makers in the whole of Bracada. And standing in the middle of them, a white-haired old man wearing a red cloak and holding a white staff was the supreme decider of the Senate and the highest power figure in Bracada, the legendary mage Gavin Magnus.
Gavin glanced back at the flag embroidered with golden irises that had been planted in the tower, and he felt that after today, the flag symbolizing Bracada would be lowered forever.
In the distance, a dark cloud drifted in the southern sky, and under the influence of the strong wind, the dark cloud swept quickly towards the city of Kilros. When they got closer, the people on the castle tower realized that it was not a cloud, but a floating battleship wrapped in black mist.
"All lifted into the air and prepared for battle. Gavin turned back and passed the order on. Countless gods and mages used flying and levitation techniques to take to the air, and then formed a formation according to the established tactical formation. Behind the city of Kilros were floating warships.
However, unlike Kenan's Novgorod-class floats, most of these floats have maintained the appearance of ordinary Bracada ships, with shuttle hulls, towering towers, beautiful bow statues, and tall sails.
These ships are more appropriate than floating battleships, but ships that fly into the sky. In fact, it is exactly what it is. These Bracada flotation ships were not much different from their surface counterparts in fact, and they were all made of wood, except that the hull was equipped with a layer of protective steel to prevent attacks from below. If it weren't for the addition of Bracada's newly developed floating stone in the center of the hull, this floating battleship would be completely identical to a surface battleship.
After Bracarda's troops had sorted out their formation, the formation of floating battleships in the distance slowly stopped three thousand meters away and began to form a formation.
Kennan's flagship, the Novgorod, slowly came to a halt about a kilometer away from Brakada's army. With a bang, the Novgorod's hatch opened, and Kenan stepped out, dressed in a red cloak, standing above the void.
Seeing this, Gavin also used his flying skills to fly and stood in front of Kennan, "Your Excellency, down here is Gavin Magnus, the highest decider of the Senate of Bracada, I don't know who Your Excellency is, and what happened when you arrived in Bracada. ”
Kenan smiled slightly, no longer restraining his breath, but unleashed all his divine power and coercion, and a powerful energy fluctuation swept directly across the entire field, clearly covering everyone present, "I am the great mystical eye, the guardian of humans, elves, dark elves and the forsaken, the guardian god of warriors, the seeker of knowledge, the ooze monster, the jelly monster, the patron saint of slimes and slugs. Now I have come to collect your faith and loyalty, and to share my glory with your loyalty, or to die in disgrace, and now give me your choice. ”
Gavin's body shuddered slightly, although he had vaguely guessed that the other party might be a god - only a god has the ability to kill a god. However, before this was confirmed by the other party, he still had a chance in his heart, what if the other party only used reasonable tactics to kill those gods? However, these illusions have already vanished.
However, Gavin still raised his head, and looked at Kenan with burning silver eyes, "Free people will not be subservient to men, mages are seekers of truth, even gods can't take away my freedom, back then, even His Excellency Mystra (Goddess of Magic) couldn't get my faith, so what can you do." ”
"Hehe, very backbone, but will these people behind you follow your opinion, or can you represent their free will?" Kennan glanced behind him.
Gavin followed Kenan's gaze and saw that the Bracada army that was standing neatly behind him had become a crooked patch at this time, and many mages with weak willpower or unskilled spells had been forced to land on the ground, otherwise, they would probably fall directly into the air.
Although Bracada was so powerful that they never retreated even in the face of a strong enemy, when their enemy was a god, it was all different. Even if Standwick pulled the gods off the altar in the first battle, and several gods died in battle, the coercion left by the gods for thousands of years could not be wiped out in just a few days.
When their enemy is a powerful god, they will still be scared and tremble, not to mention, they have lost the protection of the gods behind them now.
Gavin looked back and sighed, "These have nothing to do with them, it's just my personal will, if I die, please be kind to my people." ”
"Haha, it seems that you have made up your mind, although it is very unhappy, but I still appreciate your courage to pursue the truth as a mage. The most reward, I can give you a chance, any of you who want to challenge me can stand up, I don't need to give you a chance to challenge without a floating battleship, of course, the end of the challenge is death. And whoever is not willing to give in, let him come up. Kennan's last words were addressed to someone in the venue. Although the distance is far away, every word clearly falls on everyone's ears.
There was a moment of silence in the crowd, and soon there was a soft chatter. A moment later, a blue-skinned god monster said a few words to the god monster next to him and then flew straight up, "Count me as a challenger." ”
Gavin glanced at the flying monster and said with a wry smile, "Theon, you don't need to come up. You still have your people, and if you leave, they won't have a good time. ”
"It's okay, I've already told Lorna that if I can't go back, she's the new patriarch. If it weren't for me, maybe their lives would be better. Sein glanced at his lips and said disdainfully.
"How can I be missing in such a prosperous world. With that, a tall Storm Titan also stepped out of the nearby woods and went straight to the battlefield.
"You're all on it, how can you miss me. An old man standing at the head of the city also flew out.
"And me. ”
"And me. ”
......
A moment later, more than a dozen powerhouses gathered in the battlefield, they were either legendary powerhouses or gold-level powerhouses, although their strength was high and low, but everyone had a trace of unyielding battle intent in their eyes.
