Chapter 119: Midnight Terror
Rose muttered the Maipu incantation, and the Iron Hour demons swarmed towards the exit of the Poppy Theater. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
They bared their teeth and danced in their hands, their steel teeth sharp, their sharp blades gliding through the air, their smooth bodies reflecting dark red fire.
When they rushed to the center of the theater, the civilians had never seen these monsters, screaming "devil" in a broken voice, and casting the newly learned Flame Charm on them.
Countless tinder fires were thrown at these dwarf monsters, but they babbled and screamed, rushing out of the flames, their dark silver bodies unscathed, but like a layer of scarlet oil paint, their blades shining with cold, and still running out of the poppy theater.
Most of the guards were Maipu people, and when they saw the six-pointed star rising in the sky, they knew that someone had summoned the time demons, so they did not stop these steel monsters from leaving the theater.
The dwarf monsters are agile and can easily jump onto rooftops, climb over eaves, climb over brick walls, and flock like ants beyond the gates of Parivat.
"Rose, what do you order them to do?" Carter-Larson looked at the Iron Soldiers in amazement.
"I asked them to carve out a wasteland outside the city. The archmage stopped chanting and opened his eyes, which turned from brown to blood-red, and the wound on his arm was not healed, but extended into a criss-crossed totem - in the center of the six-pointed star, a skull with ram's horns appeared.
Rose gasped slightly, lowered his robe, and said, "Let's go to the outskirts of the city." ”
So the three of them rode out of the city, and when they reached the city gate, they heard the sound of leaves shaking violently outside the city walls, followed by the sound of countless ants gnawing and the sharp crenellation of teeth, which sounded at night and made people's scalps tense.
They ordered someone to turn the winch, opened the city gate, and saw a giant tree more than 20 meters high slowly tilting towards the city, where the firelight could be seen, more than a dozen steel time demons sawed back and forth on the crown of the tree, and the fall did not affect their destruction, they bit through the branches with steel teeth, split the trunk with sharp blades, and then lightly jumped down to the other side to continue to dismember the giant tree.
The fall became faster and faster, and countless branches and leaves began to fall on the top of the three people's heads, seeing that the canopy of the tree was about to fall to the top of their heads, the three of them rode out on horseback, and when they ran hundreds of meters away, they only heard a loud roar, and the trees had smashed to the ground.
When they approached again with torches, they couldn't help but be surprised.
Carter's eyes widened for a moment before he realized that he was not in a bizarre nightmare: the trunk of a tree that required several people to be closed was completely cut into pieces, and the cut was sharp and neat, like sliced beef on the table, and the tree more than twenty meters high was shattered in an instant, and not a single thick and complete branch could be found.
"Oh my God. As far as he could see, Carter could still see several short, demonic figures, baring their teeth at him, their blades still cutting through wood.
Odin approached the young lord and said, "They can obey orders perfectly, and they are far better melee soldiers than humans. ”
"But the renegade had previously refused to show his power before me. Carter looked at the hordes of steel demons that had disappeared into the darkness, and subconsciously still felt a chill.
"They have their own rules - just understand that they are completely subordinate to you, and you don't have to question the loyalty of the Maipu people or wonder if they are evil. In fact, as Ross said, the power of the Maipu people is essentially the same as the power of magic. ”
Odin looked at Carter with ghostly eyes, and at each point, the young lord wondered if he was going further and further down a path of destruction.
Carter heard the sound of rustling all around in the pitch darkness, the crying of babies, the shrill sound of sawing, the sound of insects and ants getting louder and louder, as if they were about to burrow into his head, and the whole countryside was enveloped in these dense sounds, and where the firelight could be seen, there were densely packed silver figures jumping up and down.
Barely before he could react, there was a loud roar one after another, and the branches and leaves around him fell like a torrential rain, and the horses could not move an inch, and the legs of the horses were almost submerged by the leaves.
The creepy sound grew from near to far, and did not gradually stop until the second half of the night.
The three of them held torches, and the wilderness that was originally densely wooded was now empty overhead, and the white moon shone on the earth, and the vision was faintly a sea of leaves, branches, and wood fragments.
Rose's face turned pale and he swayed a little on horseback. It was the first time he had used the power of the Maipu people to the fullest extent, and it was not much easier than casting a large spell. He pulled back his robe and found that the blood scab had dried up, and the terrifying totem had disappeared.
"The Demon of Time is gone. The archmage took a few breaths and whispered.
Odin looked back and said, "I know. They have completed amazing masterpieces. No one doubts the destructive power of the Time Demon now. How long will it take at least for these Iron Warriors to reappear after they have exhausted their strength?"
Rose was silent for a while, then said, "I don't know, I've never tried it - maybe three hours, or more, but I'm sure that with more materials, I won't be able to summon hundreds of Time Demons in a short period of time." ”
"Now they've probably turned back into steel sheets, lying under the leaves. ”
Odin nodded, and the three of them continued on their horses, settling on horseback for about two hours before the leaves and branches on the ground gradually thinned.
Carter took a breath and said, "I wonder if people will think that the devil is coming when they see this scene tomorrow morning." ”
"What's so terrible? Isn't it the power of the devil that has brought us to this point until now?" Odin quipped.
When the morning sun pierces through the clouds, the first thing to see is the guard stationed there. They stayed up all night amidst tormenting voices, and when the first rays of light fell into the city of Pariva, they saw a desolation on the walls.
They knew that this was a good thing that the demon had done, and silently chanted the eulogy of the Maipu tribe, and then closed their eyes and snoozed.
The next mages to be discovered were the mages of Deep Valley City, who were ordered to practice the use of woodcut seals every day. When they reached the point where the Avenue of Atonement was not far from the city gates, the leaves poured in like a river.
As they walked out of the city, the leaves and branches thickened to the calves.
When they got out of the gates, they couldn't believe their eyes—the sky within a few miles, not the slightest leaf obscuring it, and not a single branch on the ground—as if a terrible storm had blown through the city last night, and this storm was made up of countless blades, and all these towering trees were wrung to pieces!
"Maybe even the archmage doesn't have that power!What happened last night?"
"I don't know—I heard a terrible noise all night last night, like the footsteps of a great devil. ”
"Then this devil must be taller than the city walls, bigger than the templar. ”
The mages whispered to each other, shocked by the reality before them.
