Chapter 319: Dangerous Game (7)
At the critical moment when the Demon Legion's Western Legion has won a series of battles and has dyed a small half of the world map red, the last brave man in this world, the beautiful and sacred sword princess Mira, has also received her own brave mission.
"The eastern frontier of the empire has been hit by a plague, and many people there have contracted strange diseases, which are getting worse day by day. Great royal princess, heir to the Holy Sword, it is time for you to guard justice and destroy evil. Go investigate the truth about the plague and save the people there. ”
"Okay. Mira felt that it was almost time for her to get out of the royal city and look elsewhere for news of Xiao You and Angela. As the main city of humans, this was originally the place where the gamers appeared the most, but obviously Xiao You and Angela were not in this area.
Judging from the fact that he was inexplicably chosen as the princess of the sword and the heir of the holy sword, Xiao You should also have a good chance of getting a special profession, but I don't know what kind of profession it will be.
However, when Mira led the Silver Knights to the border area of the east, where plagues were frequent, they found that the situation had long gone beyond the scope of the plague.
There are wandering zombies, resentful spirits, and bones everywhere, as if the end of the world has come to this land in advance.
The entire city has been polluted by this power, and even those who are still alive have a miserable face, and maybe they will fall down in the next moment, and then become new monsters and stand up.
Hopelessly, that's how this border city feels, even if there are still people alive, everyone understands that it's just the last struggle.
But they weren't dead yet, and seeing the arrival of the Silver Knights and the Princess of Swords, many of them had hope in their eyes again.
"Help me, take me out of here, it's the Demon King, the Demon King is here!"
"My body hasn't rotted yet, there must be a way to save it, please, take me away!"
"Don't forsake us, we are the people of the Kingdom. Bless your believers, O God!"
However, the truth is that the people here can no longer be saved, and it is a crime to even take them out of here, because they all carry the curse of plague, the curse that turns the living into monsters.
Seeing this tragic scene, all the members of the Silver Knights were shocked.
"Oh my God, could it be that the Demon King has really descended on this land, otherwise how could such a thing happen? ”
"God, please bless me, I don't want to be like this when I die. ”
"Princess, things are not good, the plague here has developed into a curse of death, someone must have set a trap here, this has been a conspiracy from the beginning!"
"Yes, it's a trap, but it's too late, are you the brave of the human race? A black carriage came from the darkness of the night, and the ancient demon in the black cloak looked at the princess of the sword in a holy white dress with playful eyes.
"What!"
"Oops, ours!"
"It's over, what is this, it's already in my body!"
After the demon said this, the Silver Knights realized that that terrible green color had also appeared on their bodies, and those terrible plagues had infected them. The lack of preparation for this evil force led to the tragedy of the entire Silver Knights.
Only Mira, the princess of the sword, is safe and sound, because she has the Guardian of the Jewel Sacred Sword, and all evil forces cannot invade her body.
"Well, are you going to find a way to save these people, or do you want to let them go and run away?" the ancient demon smiled happily as she looked at Mira, the princess of the sword.
It's a game that's right, but it's just as fun as the real world. He wanted to see what choice this sword princess would make, who was obviously another gamer, in the face of such a situation.
Do you really come to save these people, or do you abandon these people and flee back? Either choice will have extremely bad consequences, and greatly damage the reputation of the so-called brave.
"I'm sorry. Mira shook her head at the knights who came with her.
"It's okay, princess, go quickly!"
"Before we turn into monsters, get out of here!"
"Go find the sage-sage, he must have a way to deal with this plague, we are not sorry to die, princess, you must go back!"
The Silver Knights are desperately trying to suppress the plague virus in their bodies while persuading Mira to get out of here.
However, whether it was Hein, the leader of the Eastern Legion of the Demon Legion, who single-handedly created this plague, or the Silver Knights who came with Mira, they all misunderstood what her shaking of her head meant.
The white sword light flashed, as graceful as a dance, light and fast, but the sword light was not aimed at the rotting zombies or the legion leader Hein in the carriage, but the Silver Knights, the backbone of the Royal Knights, who came with Mira.
Before they could even make a sound of surprise, half of the Silver Knights died under the holy sword of the Sword Princess, and the other half fell into a state of collapse and were quickly wiped out.
"If you also become monsters, I'll be in trouble here, and I'll delay the time to find Xiao You. Standing on the corpses of many silver knights, Mira's expression was very apologetic, but she was not soft at all when it came to killing people.
"This ...... Hein ......looked at the corpses of the Silver Knight all over the ground, which could be the best ingredient for the Death Knights—if they hadn't been killed by Mira's holy sword.
Among the four Demon Legion Captains' career preference choices, Hine was the only one who chose the control system, so he didn't have much direct lethality, but he had the ability to create plagues and undead disasters.
Therefore, it was his tactic to create a small plague first, attract the attention of the kingdom, send troops, and then infect those armies one by one. Unexpectedly, this tactic was simply seen through by the Princess of the Sword, and the Silver Knights, who were supposed to be his greatest combat power, were killed in advance.
"It seems that I have to be serious too, let your legend of the brave end here!" Seeing that Mira killed the entire Silver Rank 7 powerhouse without hesitation, Hine finally decided to take the battle he provoked seriously.
Fortunately, he had prepared his trump card in advance, and the residents of this entire border city were his hole cards.
"Cry, lament, everything you have will be my strength, feel this great will, I will accomplish the great cause of the Pale King, and give all your strength!"
With Hein's cold voice, his figure in the carriage instantly decomposed, becoming countless green points of light floating over the entire city, the cool wind blew, and countless figures fell to the ground wailing, all of which were when the humans who had not completely died in this plague stopped rolling over, that is, when they were all controlled by the power of the plague and became Hein's puppets.
As long as the person who is infected by the power of the plague is Hein's puppet, he is not afraid of the sword princess's holy sword at all, because no matter how many times he is killed, the dead are just puppets.
His essence has become the scourge of the dead itself. As long as this calamity remains, he will be immortal. From this point of view, he has long been invincible. And the more people who are infected by the undead scourge, the stronger his power becomes.
Perhaps from the beginning, his personal combat strength could not be compared with the other three legion commanders who took his personal route, but in the long run, his development potential was the largest among the four legion commanders, and he was closest to the legendary "Demon King" Great Demon.
Not pursuing absolute power, but absolute control ability, this is Hein's fighting style, a completely different control flow from other ancient god-level demons.
"These plague infederates, is your power?" Although the whole world was surrounded by gloomy clouds, Mira's eyes did not waver, and pointed out Hine's greatest trump card with a sharp point.
"Hehe, have you seen it? That's right, as long as the plague is still there, I will never die, and you are not destined to be my opponent. ”
"The plague needs to be infected, otherwise it should have left this area a long time ago, that is, this curse must be carried by humans. Mira seemed to be talking to herself, as if she was affirming something.
"Even if you knew, what could you do?" Hine has already won the battle as the undead scourge is over, and as long as the number of plague infections is expanded from this border city to the central region, then the game will enter the Demon King Advent ending, and he will be the final victor.
He doesn't need to confront the brave head-on, and he completes the task in a clever way, which is what he loves to do. He wasn't interested in fighting against any holy sword, which was the method chosen by the likes of hot-headed Becias.
"Then, as long as I kill all the people here, your plan will fail. Mira said lightly.
"What? ...... you" Hine looked at Mira speechlessly, didn't she hear the calls of the infected people just now, didn't feel the last hope they gave her.
Shouldn't the brave man protect these people and find a way to save them? It is precisely because he saw through this that he chose the plague infection to exterminate the human race.
In the face of their own people, shouldn't the brave have been guarding until the end? How can there be a brave man who drives out his compatriots first in the first place?
"I'm in a hurry, so you can die like this. Mira brandished the jeweled sword in her hand and began to kill.
Amid the wails of countless people, the brave began to slaughter the city, unstoppable and invincible.
A day later, the Scourge of the Dead was over, and the Captain of the Demon Legion of the Eastern Legion was killed, cursing the entire city and turning it into ruins, as recorded in the history of the kingdom.
This battle was also the beginning of the legend of the heroic princess of the sword.
