On July 21, 265 in the Gregorian calendar, Ao Xingfeng and his party spent a night safely outside the city of Mela. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Several early Templars and Diamas caught a few hares, took out a pot and boiled them on the fire, and after adding spices, the smell of the meat was qualitatively changed, directly pulling Ao Xingfeng, who was still in the dream, back to reality.
"Your Excellency. Seeing that Ao Xingfeng had woken up, the Templars saluted Ao Xingfeng as a sign of respect. Everyone was light before, for fear of waking up Ao Xingfeng in his sleep, but now that he woke up, he accelerated his luggage.
Taking a plate of rabbit broth handed over by the Templars, Ao Xingfeng sat by the fire and tasted it with relish, most of the food once spices were added, the whole taste was sublimated, even in Finney City, it was rare to eat spiced food, after all, spices were rare and precious.
After Ao Xingfeng had finished his rabbit broth, the Templars put away their tents and bells, and the group marched further west through the outer part of the city.
Many days had passed since the fall of the city of Mera, the scorched corpses on the ground emitted a violent stench, the city walls had been blown down, and only a pile of charcoal was left in the city inside, and when he walked outside the city of Mera, Ao Xingfeng felt that the rabbit broth he had just eaten was about to vomit, and the Templars touched their hands on the pendant on their chests, silently mourning for the dead, hoping that they could go to heaven after death to escape the pain of the world.
"The undead are no different from demons, and even people can't escape their torment even when they die. Orton whispered next to Ao Xingfeng, as if he didn't want to disturb the peace of the dead, if it weren't for the fear of being hunted down by the cult, the Templars would definitely bury the victims of this group of violent corpses in the wilderness. With the resurgence of the undead, there are many other cities throughout the continent of Irene that have suffered the same fate as Mera City, and Finney City is one of them.
Talking about liberation, Ao Xingfeng only saw death, a group of villains who spread death put liberation on their lips, it was really infuriating, the next time I met the guy of the 'Scarlet Moon', I decided not to show mercy to my subordinates anymore, Ao Xingfeng secretly thought.
After passing through the city of Mera and following a main road, Ao Xingfeng and his party soon came to the border of the Broken Mountains, the Broken Mountains, in front of them was a winding and long stone path, as far as the eye could see, there were no plants to grow on the mountains of the Broken Mountains, and the peaks did not fall boulders on the edge of the rugged path and then fell down into the woods and rivers at the bottom of the mountain.
The stone path leans on the stone mountain on one side, and on the other side this is the cliff Ao Xingfeng estimates that it may be hundreds of meters high, if there is a careless fall, I am afraid that there are really no bones left, no wonder only fugitives and smugglers will choose to take the risk of this road, the average pursuer does not dare to risk his life and they have a real life and death speed.
The Shattered Mountains are huge, and in the very center of the borders of Maleni, Rees, Iro, and Green Orcs, no country would dare to send soldiers to attack other kingdoms from here, because this is a super dangerous situation with a mortality rate of up to 10:6, and it is difficult for small teams to avoid casualties, let alone large forces.
"Holy Envoy, we try to avoid making noises when we enter the Broken Mountain Range, so as not to be attacked by the boulders of the stone giants on the mountain peak. Orton said to Ao Xingfeng.
"Those implementations turned out to be the tricks of the stone giants, so why didn't anyone deal with those stone giants?
"That's not the case, the reason why the stone giants will attack passers-by is because they are afraid that passers-by will alarm the seal of the demon god, and the stone giants of the Broken Mountain Range have diligently guarded that seal for generations, who is willing to destroy this group of seal guardians except the believers of the demon god?" Orton explained.
"I didn't think that there was a seal of a demon god here, it's really surprising!" Ao Xingfeng said in surprise, the demon gods and pseudo-gods are similar to each other have a certain degree of power, and within their powers, almost all of them are a group of immortal and immortal existences, if you can't completely destroy them with crushing strength, then you can only rely on the seal to make them disappear.
Compared to the false gods, the demon gods are extremely dangerous to the entire continent, and no one except for a few madmen is happy to see them return to Irene, so even if the stone giants endanger the travelers who cross the Broken Mountains, none of the forces have the slightest idea of wanting to destroy them.
Ao Xingfeng and his party walked cautiously on the stone road, and completely entered the broken mountain range, the only thing they were afraid of was to run into some daring people and be implicated.
From time to time, there was the sound of some gravel falling off the cliff, but Ao Xingfeng and the others were not discovered by the stone giants, according to Orton, it would take at least two days to cross the broken mountain range at this speed, it was difficult to say that there would not be some people who died, the mountain roads here were in all directions, but the road was narrow and only three people could walk side by side at most, the Templars lined up in a column to pull their horses, and Ao Xingfeng followed behind Orton in front of the team.
After walking for several hours, they entered the mountains, where the path split into four streams, surrounded by boulders, and a tattered wooden sign with locations in all directions.
"Holy Envoy, you can rest here for a while, there is no sound here, and you can have lunch with peace of mind. Orton pulled the reins of the horse and said to Ao Xingfeng.
"Well, everyone is probably tired after walking for so long, so let's rest for a while, and rest for an hour after lunch before setting off. Ao Xingfeng turned around and spoke to the Templars and Diamas behind him.
Fourteen men and 14 horses blocked the already narrow intersection, with a Templar standing in each direction as a guard, while others took out dry food and soaked it in water and ate it, and Ao Xingfeng chatted and laughed with Orton and Diamas. Although Ao Xingfeng had not been with these Templars for a long time, he could feel that these people respected him from the bottom of his heart, not just perfunctory, and the Templars felt that Ao Xingfeng did not seem to have any fights, so he slowly let go.
"Orton, do you know about the demon god who is sealed here?" asked Ao Xingfeng.
"Sealed in the Broken Mountains is a very powerful demon god, the name seems to be called Olympurus, in ancient times he wantonly destroyed the earth on the continent, many ancient kingdoms were destroyed because of him, until the brave Quink and his team stood up, it is said that they fought for seven days and seven nights and could not tell the winner, and finally with the help of the false god Lucratesia, it was sealed into the Optimus Mountain Range, when Olympurus desperately resisted, shattered the Optimus Mountain Range, and it became the current Broken Mountain Range. Orton said.
"And what's the matter with those Golems?" Diamas asked, confused.
"Born from the shattered Optimus Mountains, the Stone Giants regard Olympurus as enemies who destroy their homeland, and since Olympurus was sealed, they have spontaneously guarded the seal to forbid anyone to approach, and they have been guarding the seal for thousands of years now, compared to another thousand years. Orton said.
While they were chatting, an uninvited guest appeared on the path leading to the green orc's territory.
