Chapter 12 Killing Zhongzhou
Although there are thousands of evil places in the Longtu world, there is one place where people would rather die than go there, and that is the Zhongzhou of Killing Rings that "has no precepts except for life and death". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Ring of Death is located in the Great Rift Valley of the Dead in the middle of the Dragon Atlas world. Legend has it that the Great Rift Valley was a crack that was split by lightning when the god of Aisawa destroyed the world thousands of years ago, but no one knows why the world still exists and is not destroyed until it is destroyed.
Because the Great Rift Valley is bottomless, there is not enough sunlight to shine into it, so the entire Zhongzhou region is shrouded in a dim atmosphere. There are no delicate flowers, towering trees, or clear streams...... There are only cannibalistic vegetation, crooked black forests, dirty and muddy ditches.
Add to that the darkness, the cold, the carnage, and death, the littering corpses everywhere, and the hordes of rat spirits that feed on carrion. But it is a place that is comparable to hell, but it is a paradise for murderers, thieves, and other most wanted criminals, because there are no precepts, and everyone follows the way of survival of the fittest, and the survival of the jungle.
In addition to those vicious and vicious people who are evading pursuit, there are also countless dark forces large and small in the middle state of the Killing Ring, and the two most powerful are the two most powerful: the Dark Golem Clan and the Demon Rock Clan.
The Dark Golems are good at controlling the dark magic of the puppets, while the Demon Rock Clan is a monster with rocky skin. Although the two races are ostensibly incompatible, often fighting each other for territory, they are actually the minions of the leader of the Dark Legion, Mordu Nadas.
As early as hundreds of years ago, in order to resist the evil creatures in the rift, the various races in the Longtu world rushed to the Longtu world, and worked together to block the necessary roads from the rift valley to various continents, leaving only the steep cliff road, which was easy to get out of the rift valley under the road. Except for creatures with wings, it would be as difficult for a person to enter this place and come out of it as hard as climbing to the sky.
As the dark forces in the middle of the ring became larger and larger, and more and more fugitives of various races gathered here, the ambitions of the dark army were revived.
The ambition of the leader Nadas is to spread his dark forces throughout the dragon world, and these forces that continue to join are the bargaining chips for the growing strength of his dark army. The most important thing is that they also have the "wings" to fly up, the black wing dragon Ao.
The dragon is a bird in the world of dragons that can be compared to dragons. Although they have the word "dragon" in their name, they do not belong to the dragon family. Unlike other birds, in addition to their huge wings, they also have strong limbs and a long sharp beak, and they often cling to steep mountain walls in groups. When they arrived in the Great Death Rift, they fell prey to the Dark Legion.
The Dark Legion uses dark magic to craft their captured dragons into puppet mounts, and then immerse them in the Black Rock Pond of the Demon Rock Clan (note 1). After all kinds of cruel cultivation, their wings gradually turn black, and this black hard wing greatly enhances their ability to fly. The most terrifying thing is that their nature has also begun to become bloodthirsty and feed on carrion, which is completely different from the original Long Ao. Mutated dragons paired with the evil creatures of the Dark Legion, whom Nadas calls his army of Blackwing Knights.
In the year 982 of the First Chronicle of Longtu (note 2), Nadas, who had been silent for a long time, finally decided that the time was ripe and led nearly 100,000 dark legions out of the Great Rift of Death. Because the Longtu tribes outside Zhongzhou had been living a comfortable and carefree life for a long time, and were defenseless against the sudden attack of the Dark Legion, they quickly occupied the territory around Zhongzhou and barbarized the west...... Exiled Lands...... Yunlin Border ...... The ice fields all fell into the hands of the Dark Legion.
At this time, the races of the Longtu world realized the seriousness of the matter, if they did not unite, the whole world would be eroded by the dark army of Nadas, and they would also become slaves of Nadas. As a result, the leaders of the four major races in the Dragon Atlas world, the Terrans, the Yilong Race, the Phantom Race, and the Elven Race, reached a consensus in the Forgotten Forest, believing that the Dark Alliance was their common enemy, and that the various races should put aside their disputes and unite to resist the Dark Alliance. In this way, the Battle of Zhongzhou broke out.
When Nadas heard that the races of the Dragon World had formed the "Righteous Army" to fight against him, he didn't worry too much, because the number of the Righteous Army was only half the number of his dark army, and this overwhelming superiority made him arrogant. But when it came time to actually fight, he realized that the situation was not at all what he had thought.
Although the Dark Legion is numerous, nearly half of its members are rebels from other races. The reason why they fled to Kill Ring Zhongzhou was to avoid the pursuit of their own soldiers and survive, these rabble came to the battlefield where either you died or I lived, and they would definitely not fight with their lives, and they were the first to run when their lives were in danger.
The morale of the Righteous Army was high, and everyone was brave enough to protect their homeland, so the Dark Legion began to retreat with heavy losses. In order to reverse the unfavorable situation, Nadas began to maneuver with the Righteous Division on the border of Zhongzhou, and the two sides began a long tug-of-war.
With the passage of time, the Dark Legion has struggled to resist the siege of the Righteous Army. Enraged, Nadas launched one last devastating attack, which resulted in a resounding victory for the Righteous Division. The Dark Legion suffered numerous casualties, and they were powerless to fight back into the depths of the Great Death Rift. And Nadas was also shattered by the combined attack of the leaders of the four races, and those who witnessed it thought that he was already dead and could not die anymore.
But Nadas, with his evil powers, will not perish so easily, and although his body is "dead", his soul has fled back to the Great Rift of Death......
Kill the ring in Zhongzhou, deep in the abyss of death.
It was a black sacrificial hall with countless candles hanging from the cold, damp walls, and the smell of death permeated everywhere.
In the center of the hall was a large circular altar with piles of skeletons piled up around the perimeter, boiling with bright red blood. Floating above the altar was a scattered apparition that floated and eventually coalesced into a black body. If the leaders of the four major races saw it, they would definitely recognize it, and this black phantom was Nadas, the leader of the Dark Legion.
In front of the altar stood two people, one on the left and one on the right.
"Brown, your intelligence. Nadas's dull, muffled voice surrounded the dark hall.
"Yes, master. Only one of the rat spirits sent out by the Brown sent out came back, and the news was that they were born, two boys. The man standing on the left who called himself by his own name replied softly.
Brown's voice was neither thick nor thin, and his thin body was wrapped in a brown robe, leaving only a pair of dark red eyes, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"Two?" Nadas wondered.
"Yes. Brown replied respectfully.
Hearing Brown's affirmation, the floating phantom gradually became clear.
"Could it be...... Hehe, interesting. Nadas's laughter made the candles flutter all around.
The man standing on the right side under the altar didn't know why Nadas was happy, obviously Brown's mission had failed. His tall frame contrasted sharply with the short, thin brown on his left, and his muscles bulged like rocks, and his face was full of flesh. It seems that he knows that he is the leader of the Demon Rock Clan, Naiba.
"Leader Nadas, this mission of the Dark Golem has failed again, you ......" Naiba's rugged voice rang out.
"Mission failed?" Nadas interrupted him in a rhetorical tone.
"Isn't this mission for the Dark Golem to control the dead cloaked man to destroy the Terran?
"Do you think that the Terrans will be wiped out so easily? Even if Qingyun City falls, there will be a new Terran force rising. The mission of the Dark Golem this time is not as simple as you think, you just need to do your duty, and you don't have to worry about other things!" Nadas retorted.
Naiba heard Nadas's slightly prickly words, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Leader Nadas, although our Demon Rock Clan did not follow you as early as the Dark Golem Clan, we have always been loyal to do things for you. In the Zhongzhou War, our Demon Rock Clan rushed to the front as the vanguard army, suffering heavy casualties, and what about their dark puppet clan? Hiding behind us, controlling the puppets and using dark magic. Even if we don't have merit, we have toil, and now that you have repeatedly entrusted the heavy responsibility to the Dark Golems after the war, and they have failed again and again, I think the position of the left envoy (note 3) should be relinquished?"
The dark shadow of Nadas shook over the altar, and the blood in the altar boiled even more. "Are you ordering me?" he said angrily.
Naiba under the altar saw that boiling blood was about to overflow from the altar and hurriedly lowered his head.
"Chief......" Naiba felt his voice tremble uncontrollably.
"Get out!" Nadas interrupted Naiba's explanation.
Naiba didn't say anything more, he knew what the consequences would be for angering Nadas, and although all he had in front of him was Nadas's scattered soul, who knew when his dark blade would slash at you. Naiba only turned away reluctantly, and before leaving, he looked at the brown who was silent without saying a word, and left the black hall angrily.
"Master, are those two boys ......" Brown whispered when he heard Naiba walk away, and stopped talking.
The apparition of Nadas moved again and said, "You guessed right. This is estimated to be unthinkable even for ten Naiba, which is why you can be my abyssal messenger, while Naiba can't. Nadas confirmed Brown's conjecture.
"But there's a little bit of Brown who can't figure out why...... Is it two?" Brown was puzzled.
"Where there is justice, there must be evil, and where there is joy, there must be sorrow. Nadas explained like a poet.
Brown understood. What does Brown need to do?" Brown didn't seem to want to ask too deeply, because knowing too much wouldn't do him any good.
"I do have a task for you, and it's very important. Nadas said somewhat formally.
Hearing Nadas's words, Brown's eyes flickered. For Brown, it is an incomparably privileged to be given the task of the master.
"Owner, please instruct, Brown will not disappoint you. Brown said respectfully.
"You Dark Golem Clan's dark magic 'soul injection' hundreds of years ago, you should know, right?" asked Nadas.
Brown heard Nadas's question, his thin body trembled slightly, and replied softly: "Brown knows, but at that time, the ancestors of the dark puppet clan thought that this dark art was too evil, and it was listed as a family forbidden art, and it was ......."
"I want you to learn it. Nadas interrupted Brown and ordered.
"Yes, master. Brown bowed his head and said.
Perhaps feeling a little hesitant, Nadas said, "Remember that the Dark Golems weren't trapped here by the self-righteous Righteous Masters. You are now the patriarch of the Dark Golems, and whatever means you use, it will be worth it if you can return us to the world that rightfully belongs to us. ”
Brown understood. However, master, the practice of dark arts can take a long time, especially forbidden arts. There was some worry in the brown eyes.
"Time doesn't have to worry, we have a lot of time to wait now. Whether it's your dark arts, or them in the distance," Nadas said, looking at the large, closed eyes of the altar, "or it's sleeping. ”
Brown looked at the master who was gradually disappearing on the altar, his eyes showed a hint of loss, and he bowed slightly and turned around and left silently. All that was left of the black hall was the boiling blood of the altar and the sleeping behemoths inside the altar.
Note 1: The Black Rock Magic Pool, legend has it that every Demon Rock Clan member is born to soak in the water in the Magic Pool, and then integrate the rock into their skin.
NOTE 2: The world of the dragon is a thousand years into an epoch.
Note 3: The Left Emissary, or Abyssal Emissary, is the one who has direct contact with Nadas, and is the highest position in the Dark Legion other than Nadas.
