Volume 1: The Fall of Kingship Chapter 144: Purgatory

Russell held the morning light in his hand, looked at the halfway mountainside in the distance with a worried expression, and urged the empress loudly: "Your Majesty, get out of this dangerous place quickly! We are now at the front of the legion, and we can take advantage of this time to evacuate this place, as the head of the Dragoon Knights, I must protect your safety." ”

Gladys was still a little hesitant, after all, no one knew when the magic would take shape, and she still asked reluctantly, "Can you delay a little longer?" Maybe this fireball won't fall so quickly?"

Shani persuaded on the side: "Your Majesty, now that this fireball has become so big, don't deceive yourself, now that the situation is irreparable, it is still important to ensure your safety!"

Seeing that the empress was still hesitant, Russell had no choice but to ride forward and whispered, "It's rude!"

Russell directly pulled the reins of the war horse that the empress was riding and kicked the horse in the hip. The horse was frightened by Russell's kick and ran forward with the empress.

Shani saw the horse running forward with the empress on her back, and hurriedly chased after her.

Russell glanced at the fireball in the distance, its scale seemed to obscure a large area of the sky for a short time, and at this time, even the soldiers on both sides who were fighting on the battlefield noticed that the sky was abnormal and stopped fighting.

The soldiers were frightened by this horrific sight and woke up from the frenzy of war, and they realized the impending danger and no longer fought the enemy, and they threw down their heavy equipment to flee from this dangerous place.

At this time, halfway up the hill near the royal city, the priests had been chanting magic for a long time, and the firestorm was finally about to form.

The huge fireball floating over the priests' heads had become a behemoth, because of the hot temperature of its sphere, the nearby woods were on fire, and the water in the soil was constantly evaporating and rising, and the water vapor was constantly floating towards the sky.

The priests, who had exhausted most of their life force, finally couldn't hold on, and they fell to the ground one after another and never got up again, but this terrible magic in the sky was finally formed.

Toruń and Bobby, who were also standing below, were sweating profusely, and they could feel their skin wrinkled, and if they stayed here any longer, they would probably be roasted to jerky in the near future!

"Can't wait any longer!" Tornén said, gasping as he looked at the soldiers below who were beginning to rout.

At this time, there was a "bang" sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground in the already dry land behind, and Torun looked back and saw that it was Nikolai and Gail, who had disappeared for a long time, but some scars suddenly appeared on their bodies, which was very weird.

Now that he couldn't care about so much, he had to unleash his magic on the battlefield immediately, and Toren shouted to the priests who were still chanting, "Now the time has come, unleash the firestorm!"

The remaining priests who still had strength left weakly uttered the last incantation, and the ball of flame condensed overhead finally revealed its true power.

At this point, the ball of flame is like a small sun, and flames are constantly emitting from its sphere, igniting everything around it.

After losing the control of the priests, the fireball began to float down the mountain, and as it passed near the royal city, the flames on its edge grazed the walls of the royal city, and the walls were even melted into a large black crystalline mass by the flames.

The stubborn walls that the Imperial Legion could not break through with all their might were easily melted by the fireballs!

Russell saw the fireballs on the mountain drifting towards them, and did not bother to inform the others to retreat, he and his companions and dragoons followed closely behind the empress's horse and fled to the foothills ahead, hoping to escape from the explosion of the firestorm.

At this time, the battlefield was chaotic, and there were fleeing soldiers everywhere, including soldiers of the Empire, as well as warriors of tribes or abysses, who fled outside regardless of their camp or race, regardless of the hatred they had just been fighting, trying to fight for their own survival.

The fireball moved slowly, but it was so large that it floated above the battlefield in a few minutes.

Instead of falling immediately, it split into countless small fireballs from its sphere.

They are small fireballs, but each one is about the size of a house, and soon after leaving the sphere, they fall like meteorites from the sky, carrying a scorching flame towards the dense crowd running on the ground.

The soldiers were crowded together, each wanting to escape first, and tens of thousands of soldiers mixed together to squeeze outside.

As you can imagine, from time to time, someone is trampled on or knocked to the ground, becoming a roadblock for others to escape, and the people behind are bent on running forward, how can anyone notice a few people who are lying down at their feet?

So these people were negligently tripped by the fallen people, and like dominoes, a linkage effect was formed, and the people in the vicinity fell one after another to form a human wall, so that everyone could not escape this dangerous place.

From time to time, there was a stampede on the battlefield, and there were crowds, fallen or shouting crowds everywhere. Some of the soldiers were already crazy, and when they saw that the fireball was about to fall above their heads, in desperation they insulted those who stood in their way, drew their weapons and slashed at those in front of them.

At this time, many people have been forced to collapse by a desperate situation, even if it is their comrades-in-arms who are in harmony with each other, or the majestic lords, they don't care.

The instinct to survive made them forget their usual behavior, and they desperately slashed and killed the people around them, hoping that they could escape farther.

At this moment, the blazing fireball fell into the crowd, and the soldier who was burned by the flames was instantly ignited, no matter how strong the armor he was wearing, and how fireproof the material was, they all turned into ashes in an instant.

The tragedy wasn't over yet, as the fireballs exploded like balloons as soon as they landed on the ground.

The regular spherical shape was suddenly destroyed, and in an instant, flames of thousands of degrees flew towards the surrounding people with the shock wave.

The flames swirled and spread in all directions, like a storm at sea.
