Act XVIII Victory or Defeat

"Ah, twenty-eight hours, forty-four minutes, and nine seconds?????? It's boring to wait!"

Winnie sat in the open space in front of Gordon's Fortress, bored playing with her wand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

??????

"The Gordon Fortress, which had lost contact, appeared with such a coat of arms after being investigated. ”

Count Ryan took out the pattern drawn by the surveyor according to the scout's description in horror.

I have to say that the base of the surveyor is still very good, and of course the pattern itself is not complicated - the reverse cross.

Although, on the paper it is black, the body is undoubtedly painted with blood.

Hagrid didn't even need to look to come to the conclusion: "The Dark Council." ”

"The situation has exceeded the expectations of our Earl of Lane, because there is no preparation in advance, so ?????? We can't do anything about it right now. ”

Count Ryan said as he wiped the sweat that was oozing from his forehead.

Such an answer was not unexpected by Hagrid, so he said directly, "What about the current situation of Gordon Fortress?"

Count Ryan looked at the clerk beside him for help.

The clerk immediately replied competently, "We have not yet grasped the specific situation, and the only thing that is certain now is that on the side of the coat of arms in the clearing, we have detected someone sitting there, as if waiting for something." However, we have already gathered some of our forces for a tentative attack. ”

"Count Lane, please order a halt to the attack at once, and let the troops sent out withdraw. ”

Hagrid's words stunned almost everyone in the war room.

However, as if he didn't feel that they were shocked enough, Hagrid continued, "Otherwise, the troops sent will be annihilated. ”

"?????? Annihilated! Send troops to be annihilated before they see Gordon Fortress!"

As if to confirm Hagrid's words, the communications officer suddenly burst into the war room and anxiously brought such news.

"Annihilated? How many enemies were there? What tactics were used? What were the casualties of the other side?"

The clerk asked questions one after another, and each question was to the point.

However, the communications officer's answer??????

"Yes?????? Should?????? It should be a person, and he didn't receive the message that the enemy is gathering mages, it should be that someone on the enemy has released a large long-range magic, and our troops are ?????? and they were all annihilated??????"

The Communications Officer's voice trembled, reading the report of the injury.

"Do you think it's a fairy tale, or are you going to say we're attacking a god?"

The clerk roared and slammed his fist on the desk.

The communications officer immediately calmed down a lot and said, "Yes, I'll confirm the news right away." After saying that, he immediately turned around and ran out.

After hearing such news, Hagrid got up silently and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Earl Ryan was immediately horrified and said, "Brooke, you?????? Where are you going, are you going to abandon us?"

Hagrid, on the other hand, said without looking back, "Our Knights Templar belong to the Temple of Light, not to the Earldom of Lane?????? Lane Qing. ”

Such words made Count Lane stunned, and the last sentence of "Lane Qing" reminded Count Lane that this young man who has often been picked by his eggs recently, strictly speaking, has a higher status than him.

"I ??????? I see, Brooke. I?????? I will rely on my own strength, to ?????? to protect the county of Lane. ”

Trembling all over, Count Lane said nervously and fearfully.

However, Hagrid stopped abruptly at this point, but did not look back, only paused for a moment, and then continued to walk away.

??????

"Obviously occupy a fortress, but the other party does not attack, just hold on?????? This is typical bait. ”

Colt, who had been waiting by Hagrid's side lately, suddenly spoke as the two walked out the door.

"But no matter what, we can't let it go, after all, although the people and soldiers in the fortress are basically impossible to survive, the surrounding cities are still in a very dangerous situation?????? I knew it was bait, but I had to step on it?????? Now the Acting Speaker of the Dark Council, Isstani, is much crazier than the former Speaker?????? It's also much smarter. ”

Hagrid said, sighing helplessly.

Immediately, he took out the sterling silver flask and took a sip, Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Now that the manpower is tight, just guarding the garrison is already stretched, it seems that Zhien can send Stitch and Wooger to go with them to fight quickly." It's best to go the same day and come back the same day. ”

"In this case, however, a new problem arisesβ€”distance! It is too difficult to get to and from Gordon Fort in one day. ”

Colt said with a furrowed brow.

"Difficulty doesn't mean impossible?????? Golem on a long haul?"

However, Hagrid's proposal was immediately rejected by Colt: "There is no country or force in the entire Igura Continent that can create such a high-speed golem, and what if it is discovered by the enemy and suddenly transferred?"

Saying that, Colt also proposed a method: "It's better to ?????? Try the Crystal Craft?"

After thinking for a while, Hagrid shook his head: "Although the speed of the magic crystal flying machine is fast, it is not flexible enough, even if the magic can't catch up, once it drops in altitude, it will inevitably be shot down?????? So, how about using aircraft to drop off?"

"No, I can't. Colt continued to veto: "If you drop it, I'm afraid you will suffer the same fate as the previously annihilated troops, who will be beaten down by magic before they land." Even if Sticker was fine, Wooder probably wouldn't be able to withstand this level of magical attack. ”

"Uh-huh?????? So the conclusion came out, fast enough, without losing flexibility, and finally able to get me standing in Gordon Fortress. ”

With Sdick's low laughter, his figure slowly appeared in the shadows of the hallway.

"Ah?????? It seems impossible. ”

Hagrid said with a headache.

However, Stitch objected: "No, probably. ”

"I was able to do that by flying over myself, in accordance with the rules of the game. ”

Hagrid couldn't help but ask, "But what about Wooger? Woog can't fly!"

"Uh-huh?????? I told you before that I don't like to be interrupted while playing??????"

As he spoke, Stitch stepped into the shadows and disappeared without a trace.

??????

"I exist for the sake of knowledge. ”

"I exist to learn. ”

"The nature of magic, where are you?"

"What are you, the nature of magic?"

"Can anyone tell me?"

"Who's going to tell me?"

In the night, Winnie sang and danced in front of Gordon Fortress, playing the time while also looking cute and cute.

"Your Excellency the Hon Winnie?????? What's the tune you're singing?"

On the watchtower, a magician who had just been absorbed into the Dark Council was immersed in it, and couldn't help but ask.

On the side, an old magician who survived six thousand years ago explained to him: "The Magic Seeker, a poem that was very popular among magicians six thousand years ago, in an era when magicians were not uncommon. ”

But at this moment, Winnie's singing came to an abrupt end.

The next moment, she actually fell to her knees with fear on her face!

"Here he is?????? It's coming!"

Winnie's screams immediately caught the sentry's attention.

The old magician, who was still chatting just now, suddenly ordered, "Open the detection magic!"

"No! It's too fast! Scout magic can't catch the target exactly!"

The young magician immediately responded.

"Damn, Councillor Winnie!, what the hell is here!" the old magician asked in a loud voice.

Winnie's face trembled with fear, and she raised her wand, and howled in horror, "It's it! It's coming! The King of the Night! The Eternal Monster!

Suddenly, the night of 6,000 years came to mind again.

"It rolls up the stench of corpses!"

"It rolls up a sea of blood!"

"It is an immortal monster, a king of the night, a source of fear, a symbol of madness!"

"Take the army of immortals, let all the living become dead, and let all the dead become followers!"

Although she tried her best to control herself, fear prevented her from gathering her magic at all.

Seeing that Winnie could no longer count on it, the old magician suddenly gave an order in place of Winnie: "Sound the alarm! Enemy attack! All the magicians on the sentry are ready to continuously fire low-level magic, forming a barrage to intercept the enemy in mid-air!"

Suddenly, all kinds of low-level magic shot out into the sky.

In an instant, under this night sky, the sky was illuminated by the light of magic as if it were day.

As a result, Stitch, who was diving towards the ground in mid-air, also caught Winnie's eye.

"Hum ??????"

Looking at that handsome smile, Winnie seemed to hear the laughter echoing in her ears, just like that night six thousand years agoβ€”"Humph?????? Poor little girl, I won't kill you?????? You don't even qualify to die. Because you're living a meaningless ??????"

And tonight, six thousand years later, that smile still seemed to taunt her.

"Ahh

Winnie had a breakdown, and after the crash came madness!

"Die, die, die, die!"

Winnie howled, gathering magic frantically, and even ignoring the blood that was constantly flying due to the overload of magic in her body, she finally used the magic she had only learned, and had never used beforeβ€”the Night Canopy!

Suddenly, as far as the eye could see, she was devoured by the black madness that bloomed with her as the center, and in the blink of an eye, the starry sky and the earth were shrouded and swallowed by this darkness!

This is the canopy of the night, like darkness, which encompasses all and destroys all!

At this moment when time and space seemed to be swallowed up by darkness, the lonely Winnie did not relax at all, but became more and more afraid.

Because, like a nightmare, that voice kept echoing in her ears, as if calling her name.

Is this real? or is it a delusion?

Winnie couldn't tell the difference, and what happened next was an irrefutable fact.

"Energy Power Limit?????? The seal is lifted. ”

With this sound, the darkness around them began to be torn apart by another, purer, deeper darkness!

"Uh-huh?????? I said that when night comes, even the light will disappear, for where there is light, there will be shadows, and there will be darkness in darkness. ”

In the darkness, the only figure that shone brightly and exuded the smell of blood, the blood-colored flesh wings on its back danced.

The "it" that frightened and despised Winnie stood leisurely in the air, leaking a mocking smile like six thousand years.

"In ?????? Trembling, fearing, trembling, fearing, is it my heart, or is it my body?"

Winnie cried incoherently.

And Stitch waved his arm seemingly nonchalantly.

Suddenly, the darkness cleared, and as far as the eye could see, there was a ruined wall.

The once magnificent and solid fortress of Gordon has been reduced to rubble and no longer exists.

"Ah?????? Cough?????? Ahem??????"

Winnie let out a strange moan, but the source of this moan was undoubtedly fear. Almost as soon as Sdick landed and stood in front of her, her skirt was soaked with the spreading wetness.

Before leaving, the words that Isstanley, the Acting Speaker of the Dark Council, had said to her began to echo in her mind.

??????

"Councillor Winnie, you should know about an elf named Rasier St. Tyrande, right?"

"That's right, the founder of the Temple of Light, the elf who defeated the Sdick who once defeated us. ”

"It was a being that could be said to be more powerful than the gods, more powerful than the goddess of light he believed in. ”

"However, such beings use very dastardly means to defeat the monster you are about to face again. ”

"So, when you face that monster head-on, you're scared, you're desperate. ”

"But remember, it turns out that the monster called Stitch is not invincible and can be defeated. ”

"So, if Rasir-St. Tyrande can defeat that monster, why can't we?"

"Take my words to heart, Councilor Winnie. ”

Then, in your time of fear and despair, think back. ”

??????

"Uh-huh?????? How rude you little girl dares to attack me. ”

As he spoke, Sticker reached out and reached over Winnie's head.

"Bump!"

At this moment, a magic missile suddenly hit Stick, and the powerful impact caused his entire body to stagger back.

"Attack! Attack! Cover Councillor Winnie!"

The half-body old mage shouted, and the remaining members of the Dark Council began to attack Stitch as best they could.

Magic, bows, spears, etc., countless attacks continued to hit Stick's body, knocking Stick's entire body back.

It was only then that Winnie reacted and fled to the side.

Seeing that Winnie couldn't count on it at all, the old magician immediately began to cheer up his companions and said, "Hold on! Don't give up! There is only a short time left until the mission is completed!"

However, even if you have become a Night Clan, your physical strength and magic are not unlimited.

Finally, after a long period of rage, all the members of the Dark Council had to stop.

And then??????

Nearly destroyed, only a fragment of his body remained, and Sticker was enveloped in a stream of blood in front of them. Then, as the blood flowed away, Stitch stood in front of them intact.

"Attack, attack, stop that monster at all costs! Block! Burst the Crystal! Use the Burst Crystal!"

The old magician roared hoarsely.

Immediately after, dozens of magic crystals that radiated magical light were thrown at Dyck's feet.

"Boom!"

"Bump!"

"Smack!"

??????

All sorts of Burst Shards exploded in different ways, sweeping through the range where Stitch was.

But what is extremely frightening is that in the flames of the explosion, the figure that should have disappeared let out a happy laugh.

"Uh-huh?????? Indomitable will to fight?????? It's fun?????? So, how long can you hold out?"

As he spoke, Stik spread his fleshy wings behind him, and countless bats glowing with blood-colored light poured out like a tidal wave and pounced on the remnants of the Dark Council.

"Ahh

"Monster!"

"Help!

The screams echoed like a symphony.

??????

The corpses were piled up like mountains, and the blood flowed like rivers.

Everywhere the eye looks, not a single companion is still alive, and not a single body is intact.

And from beginning to end, all Winnie could do was hide and sob.

Until, the figure walked up to her.

In the moonlight of the night, in the deep darkness of the night, the figure, the monster, the same as six thousand years, smiled in a mocking tone: "Huh, hum?????? Poor little girl, you don't even have the right to die, because you have no point in living??????"

"So, what are you going to do now? The most famous young genius magician six thousand years ago, and the Dark Councillor six thousand years later, Winnie Ares, the daughter of Walker Ares, the former Speaker of the Dark Council. ”

Suddenly, Winnie stopped crying, though her body was still shaking involuntarily from fear.

However, she suddenly understood the true meaning of the words of Acting Speaker Isstanley.

She is the daughter of former Speaker Walker YΓ‘rez, the most prestigious teenage genius magician 6,000 years ago, a member of the Dark Council who inherited her father's legacy, and Winnie YΓ‘rez, who has a father-killing vendetta against the monster in front of her!

Raise your wand, wipe away your tears, and work your magic.

"Die, Stickyck, you monster!"

With a shout, a large field of wind bombs struck at Stitch, piercing its body, then changing direction, continuing to penetrate, penetrating, penetrating, penetrating!

Until the mana runs out, until the Sticky is beaten into a sieve, until ?????? Sticker let out a low chuckle and waved her magic projectile with a wave of magic that seemed to be infinitely infinite.

"Magical ?????? as fragile as it was six thousand years ago"

"Winnie Areth, I caught you as I did your father six thousand years ago. ”

"You have inherited his will, and that is a sign that you will repeat his fate. ”

"Death is your only way back. ”

As he spoke, Sticker approached Winnie, and in her daze, snatched her wand and grabbed her by the neck and lifted her into the air.

"Hum ??????"

With a low laugh, Sticker gently pressed the staff in his hand against Winnie's chest, and then slowly stabbed her chest, her heart.

Finally, sucking her blood, tasting the despair and pain of the enemy.

??????

In front of the wreckage of Gordon Fortress, which seemed to be hell on earth, the Dark Councillor Thuredin who was supposed to be dead appeared here, and not only that, but he also recorded the entire battle?????? No, it's the whole massacre, and it's going to be recorded.

"The operation has been successful, and everything is going according to expectations. ”

Stanley said as he looked at the effects transmitted by Shureddin's spatial magic.

"The immortal monster, the king of the night, will be slain again?????? Because of your sacrifice, we'll take it down, that monster, Councilor Winnie. ”

At this time, by the side of Stanley, who was in charge of research and experiments, Wayne Berg, a legendary alchemist 6,000 years ago, suddenly took out a black metal box and opened it, with black crystals neatly stacked inside, and marked with names.

He picked up the black crystal labeled "Winnie Arez" and put it in his hand, ready to crush it.

However, Isstanley stopped him with a wave of his hand, saying, "No, she did the job, completely, perfectly." Therefore, I will not allow you to burn her. ”

Wayne was stunned for a moment, then put down the crystal, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, Your Excellency the Acting Speaker." ”

Isstanley nodded with satisfaction, got up, touched his chest to the painful and desperate figure in the image, and saluted: "Solemnly, farewell, farewell, Winnie, let's meet in hell!"

And everyone responded according to their words.

"Farewell!"

"Long live the Dark Council!"

And so, amid the farewell and Stickyck's wild laughter, Isstanley smiled and said, "Sing the song of triumph, Count Stick, and ?????? Just look at it there, just as I can see, the scene of the collapse and destruction of that glorious city, that worshiped city, that territory that you once had, now called Saint-Wald!"
