Chapter 531: Divine Punishment
Marcus looked up at the red line in the sky and finally laughed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's coming, it's finally here......"
The streets were silent, save for the sound of Marcus muttering to himself.
Immediately after, the crowd suddenly burst into chaos as if he had been reminded of it.
"It's divine punishment!"
"Divine punishment is real!"
A scream sounded like a mourning exam.
Some hid in houses on both sides of the street, others ran wildly in the direction of the outside of the city, and some fell to their knees and cried and pleaded.
The knights of the firing squad looked into the sky as they controlled their seated horses, panic in every pair of eyes under their skull masks.
Elliot rode up to Marcus, pointed to the red line in the sky, and asked loudly, "Say!, what the hell is going on?!"
Marcus ignored him, staring motionless at the sky, his wrinkled face smiling like a child.
The red lines that flashed in the air were getting longer and longer, and they were getting closer and closer to the ground, and the whole city was already in chaos.
Elliot was anxious and hateful, and subconsciously pulled the chain tightly, trying to drag Marcus in front of him, but the chain was grabbed by him hard, and all of them turned into powder.
"What the hell is that?!Don't tell me you don't know?!" Elliot didn't believe in divine punishment, and he didn't think there would be such a coincidence in the world, so the strange red line in the sky now must have something to do with the old guy in front of him.
"Your good days are over. Marcus replied with a smile.
Elliot snorted and jumped off his horse, and the knights of the firing squad jumped down with him, their empty bone spears still on their sides, their swords drawn in their hands, and glared angrily at the dwarves.
However, Elliot only glanced at them, then left them and Marcus alone, and disappeared into the crowd.
The knights of the firing squad looked at each other, and one of them suddenly said, "I'll go and see what's going on." With that, he ran in the direction where Eliot had disappeared. Seconds later, there was no one left to escort Marcus to the execution ground.
Marcus waited a moment before heading in the direction of the inner city.
After a few minutes, the streets gradually calmed down, and it was noticed that the red line in the sky did not seem to be coming towards the city.
On the wall of the southeast corner of the Giant City, there were guards looking in the southeast direction and weeping with joy: "Divine punishment is not for us! Divine punishment is not for us!"
But it didn't take long for him to realize that things were not good.
The red line that fell from the sky actually swept in the direction of Giant City.
As the distance approached, the guards finally discovered that the red line was a burning pillar of fire hundreds of meters wide.
In a short time, the pillar of fire swept over the city wall, and the city wall that it swept immediately collapsed, and in the violent shaking and deafening sound, an additional charred black trench hundreds of meters wide and several meters deep appeared on the ground, which extended towards the city.
After a moment of calm, the city was in chaos again, this time to the extreme.
By now, no one doubts the reality of divine punishment.
Apart from the gods, what other existence exists between heaven and earth that can have such the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth?
......
The Lord's Mansion in the center of the Giant City was slashed off by a terrifying pillar of fire.
Countless guards and knights lined up neatly at the gates of the inner city, and even though a terrible miracle might sweep here at any moment, they did not become confused by this, but passed through the gate in an orderly manner.
They are the most valiant knights in this land, and no strong enemy can break their courage, and it is completely impossible for them to flee for their lives.
Even, before evacuating the inner city, they waited patiently for instructions from the city lord.
But no one knew where the city lord Jesse was, and not even the Knights of the Guards could not find any trace of him.
After waiting for a few minutes, the Giant Knights withdrew in an orderly manner under the orders of the Council of Elders.
However, such a neat evacuation only happened in the inner city of the giants.
At all the gates of the outer city, the knights who were desperately fighting for the opportunity to escape for their lives all drew their swords and faced each other, and there were life-and-death fights everywhere.
Kill the knights who rushed out of the gates, and rush to the next gate, where more people are waiting for them to slaughter.
The high walls, which used to be proud, are now the object of curses in everyone's hearts.
Near the City-State Square on the Fourth Ring Road, Marcus still stood quietly, no longer looking at the sky, but at the fleeing crowd around him.
"To the north, to the north, valiant dwarves, let's get rid of the shackles and go all the way north...... Wounds will heal and hatred will be forgotten...... Strong dwarves, let us wash our blood and head north......"
He whispered old songs in the crowd and stared blankly at the crowd.
......
In the sky tens of kilometers above.
Donner's voice was being transmitted to the ears of more than a hundred young people through the sound transmission circle.
"The city beneath your feet has stood for thousands of years, and no one has captured it before today, but it only took us half an hour to make it history!"
Each of the more than sixty megalithic circles of amethyst has exhausted its magic energy and disintegrated into a cloud of powder, and countless boulders are rapidly descending in the air, and it will be a few minutes before they hit the ground, but everything is a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it.
"Are you still scared now? Do you still feel like you're weak?"
Donner fell silent, and there was silence in the sound transmission circle, and there was only the sound of wind around him.
After a few seconds, a soft voice sounded.
"No ......"
Immediately after, another boy shouted, "My lord, I'm not afraid at all now!"
"Yes, the power we have is not weak at all. ”
"Our courage is no worse than that of a knight!"
A childish voice sounded in the magic array.
A smile finally crossed Donner's lips.
"For thousands of years, Middle-earth has been a weak man to be bullied," he said slowly, "but from you onwards, the story will be rewritten......"
......
When the first rock with a tail flame fell to the inner city of the giants, the history of the city was over.
Countless bricks, stones, and dirt, along with war horses and knights, were shaken into the air. For everyone who is still alive, time seems to stand still, there is only a buzzing in the ears, the earth beneath their feet seems to be collapsing or soaring, and the air is full of the smell of something burnt.
In the next second, another rock hit the ground.
Then came utter chaos, and boundless darkness.
......
In a town a day and a half away from the Giants, the tables and chairs in the tavern suddenly shook.
"What's going on?" the tavernkeeper looked up in confusion.
"It's like an army is coming!"
"It's not going to be a dwarven legion attacking the giant city-state, is it?"
"Are you stupid, even if the dwarves came a million people, there would not be such a big movement!"
"You say...... Could it really be divine punishment?"
The tavern guests were silent for a breath before they all laughed. (To be continued.) )
