Chapter 8: The Great War is Coming

The sun was gradually receding to the west, and night was about to fall, and the whole venue was enveloped in an eerie atmosphere. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qingfeng looked at the creepy invisible face in front of him, as if he smelled the smell of burnt flesh and skin, and his resentful eyes seemed familiar. I thought: Is it him?

"City Lord, do you remember?" the faceless man's gloomy voice interrupted Qingfeng's thoughts, "If you forget, won't your father's gift of more than 3,000 innocent lives be given in vain?"

The faceless man's words caused the venue to explode again. Everyone speculated about who this faceless man was, who actually knew the father of the city lord, and what was the gift of that human life?

The faceless man stretched out his hand like dry wood, pointed to the head in front of him, and said, "Is my gift a little too light compared to the gift your father gave you?"

"You're the boy!" The Faceling in front of him was the boy who was tied to his dead parents in the hall, but how could he not be burned to death? Could it really be that the Dragon Guardian had sent him to blame him?

"The Lord of Qingcheng is wondering why I'm still alive and not burned to death, right?" said the faceless man's thoughts.

"Don't be foolish there, whether you are a human or a ghost, kill my clansmen, you are a human and pay for people's lives, and if you are a ghost, you will pay for your ghost's life!

Although Qingfeng said tough words, I don't know if it was because of the weak heart, the fine sweat was already all over his forehead, and the scars on his body were getting more and more painful, which made his words feel a little strong on the outside and dry on the inside. Over the years, he had forced himself to think that Silvermark Castle was as fake as his dreams, but the appearance of the faceless man shattered his illusions.

Mu Ning was a little worried, looking at Qingfeng whose expression was getting more and more wrong. Calm, she also anxiously asked for help from the university scholar Bodol behind her, and the university scholar was looking at the people on the field with a thoughtful expression, as if thinking of a countermeasure. Qingyu on the side looked at the uninvited guests in the field, and the dragon tongue sword with his hand already on his waist, while Wen Lan looked at his father with complicated eyes, as if there was something unspeakable.

The faceless man laughed dryly a few times and said, "The city lord has become much more decisive than before, he is no longer a woman's kindness, and his speech is tougher. But I'm a human or a ghost, and those who are here may not know, but you don't know yet? You tried to burn me to death with dragon breath, and the fire spread all over my body, burning my hair, my clothes, and my skin. It's not just you, I think I'm dead. It's a pity that you forgot that it was in the ethereal cold, the territory of the Ice Elves, and how could they allow the fire to burn on their land. When I woke up from the sharp pain all over my body, the fire around me had been extinguished, but the cold that followed was like a pinprick in the face, and the burned skin of my whole body had solidified and turned black like leather. I didn't become a ghost, I was half-human, half-ghost, and these ...... It's all thanks to you!" said the Faceless hysterically, his thin body like a skeleton dangling in a cloak.

"It turned out that I was here for revenge...... Back then, you colluded with the elven clan, I begged my father to spare you a dog's life, but you took revenge, you should have cut down the grass and eradicate it if you knew it!" Qingfeng suddenly felt that his father's decision at that time was correct.

"Grace will take revenge?......" The Faceless Man laughed maniacally with some excitement, "You can charge us with a crime, and then kill my parents, slaughter my people, and turn it into ruins." Now I say that I will take revenge, where did I come from? I survived by luck, and I want to avenge the lonely ghosts of Silvermark Castle. ”

Both the Terrans in the stands and the Phantom Clans in the stadium understood at this time that this was a grievance between families, and it was not small. Makino, who was standing in the corner, could also see the subtlety.

"Since Your Excellency is a Terran, why did you give up your faith and join an evil organization like the Cloaked People?" Makino's tone didn't mean to denounce, but more like an inquiry.

The faceless man stiffened his head and looked at Makino in the corner.

"What are you?" scolded the Faceless Man mercilessly.

"Below is the lord of the city of Makino, Makino. After listening to your story, I am saddened by what happened to you. Makino replied.

The scene instantly became more lively, and all kinds of discussions rang out, all wondering why Makino would sympathize with the cloaked man.

After listening to Makino's words, the faceless man seemed to be interested in him, paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Faith? Indeed, I once believed in the Dragon Guardian. But when my parents were killed before my eyes, my people were devoured by the dragon, and I was burned to the deaths, my heart called out my faith countless times, but what was the result? Faith always favored the powerful side, whether it was good or evil. From that day on, faith was broken in my heart, and at that moment, I was born again. I became the Cloak Man because the Cloak Man would believe in nothing but himself, and I would kill all of you who believed in the Dragon's guardianship and gods, and see if they would save you before you died. ”

"Oh, of course, if it's our friend, that's a different story. The faceless man said meaningfully, as if to someone.

Looking at the faceless man for a while, he went crazy for a while, and then calmed down, as if the lives of everyone in the field were in his hands.

"Miscellaneous people, don't dream, you still want to kill us?" the dwarven leader O'Hari scolded in a rough voice, "Today Grandpa, I will cut off your heads and chop them up and feed them to the dogs, to avenge my brother!"

The dwarven leader couldn't listen anymore, thinking of his brother who died tragically, and no one could stop him when his fiery temper rushed up. O'Hari jumped out of the stands before he could finish speaking, and by the time the Giant Leader reacted, he had already jumped a few meters away, and with a hatchet in both hands, he headed straight for the Faceless Man.

The Faceless Man's body swayed like a kite with a broken string, but the other cloaked man to his left inadvertently raised his right hand, and a red flame slowly rose and headed straight for the dwarf who pounced on him.

"Not good!" said Bodol.

The fireball was not intended to pose much of a threat to the dwarves, but the furious dwarves focused all their attention on the faceless man, not expecting the other people's sneak attack. And when he found out, he couldn't dodge, and although he used his quick reflexes to block the fireball that went straight to his head with his arm, he still got hit.

"Ah......h

"Stop! It's a fire, and water can't be quenched, use this. Bodor hurriedly threw a paper bag from the stands at the leader's feet.

Qingfeng also noticed that the fire on the dwarf's arm was unusual, but he didn't expect it to be fire. In this dragon map world, in addition to the dragon breath that guards the East Torch Flame is the flame, there is also the Yilong clan far away in the east that can control the flame.

"Could it be the Yilong Clan?" Qingfeng thought to himself.

The dwarven lieutenant picked up the paper bag, opened it and scattered the contents on the leader's arm without hesitation, and the fire on the arm gradually went out, but this arm was useless for the time being.

The leader looked at his charred arm and shouted, although only his left hand could move, he still wielded a short axe.

"O'Hari Chief!"

Qingfeng stopped the reckless dwarven leader, now that they were in one camp, he didn't want to lose a general for nothing.

The leader of the dwarves looked viciously at the man who had done the trick on him, and although he could not see his face, he still remembered his form. He now had only one hand left to use, and his reason controlled his impulses, and he returned to the stands angrily regardless of what he did not face.

"Today is really lively, not only are there Phantom Clans from far away in the southwest at the grand ceremony of our Terran race, but even the Yilong Clan, who claim to be descendants of the Red Flame Fire Dragon (Note 2), are not invited. It seems that our human race will receive the guests from all over the world today, or people will say that we are not considerate. Qingfeng's words were murderous.

The Yilong Clan? The Yilong Clan has always been proud of themselves, how could they have fornicated with the Cloaked Man? Everyone's eyes instantly fell on the Cloaked Man who attacked the dwarf, and O'Hari glared even more angrily, and did not leave for a moment.

"Hehe, Lord Qingcheng, I want to remind you that as long as you wear our clothes, there is no race anymore. There is only one, the man in your cloak as you call him, and you can call him 'fire'. The faceless man deliberately corrected.

The Faceless Man turned his head to look at O'Hari, who had just been injured, and continued to say contemptuously, "Brother Dwarves, we Cloaked and Phantom Clan are here today only for Qingyun City, to be more specific," the Faceless Man swept his eyes towards Qingfeng with hatred, "It's the person standing in front of me, and if the others don't interfere, I won't be an enemy of them." The fire just now is just a reminder that if you really wanted your life, you would have gone down to accompany your brother a long time ago. ”

"You ......," Oha gritted his teeth vigorously.

"It's the same for the others, if you want to live, get out of here, for a while, you can't go if you want to!" said the Faceless Man to the surrounding tribes and the Terrans of the Pastoral Capital.

With the precedent of the dwarves' recklessness, Qingfeng knew that the Faceless Man was not alarmist. Although there were only about a hundred or so cloaked people, even if their skills were not as strong as the Yilong clan who had injured the dwarf leader just now, they were far inferior to the ordinary soldiers of the human race, and they didn't know what race they were. Coupled with the Phantom Race who have not spoken for a long time, unless all the Terrans are now fighting against the foreign race together, the odds of victory are really not great. But the people around him all have their own ghosts, and Makino just showed favor to the faceless man, and it is really difficult to unite to resist foreign enemies.

"Since it is a private matter between the city lord and you, then the human race of our pastoral capital will not hinder you here. As expected, Makino said to the faceless man with a slight smile, as if it was a very small thing out of his mouth.

Seeing Makino fall into the well like this, Mu Ning stood up angrily and said tremblingly: "Makino, do you think they will let you go when you leave?"

"Mu Ning," Qingfeng interrupted her, turned to Makino and said loudly, "Go slowly!"

"I hope that the next time I see the Lord of the Qing City, I will still be so tough," Makino smiled and snorted a few times, "The warriors of the capital of Muno listen to the order and return to the capital of Mu immediately." ”

After hearing the order, the warriors of the Pastoral Capital in the field all got up and walked outside the venue, they had no choice but to obey. Mu Xiang, who had been standing next to the ring, looked at Qingyu on the stage, the man who had saved her life, although there was a trace of reluctance on her face, she still put away the long whip and left.

Hansent, the hunter leader of the tribe, looked at the Terrans who were slowly withdrawing from the Pastoral Capital, and whispered to the giant Tyke on the side, "What about our tribe?"

Tyke didn't speak, the grim expression on his face seemed to have a plan.

The faceless man saw the tribal human race who had not left, and smiled dryly: "Could it be that the tribal friends are still holding grudges about the little contradiction just now?"

"Of course not," Tyke's burly body stood up, his face expressionless, "how can we hold a grudge against someone who is about to die? ”

After listening to the first half of Tek's words, Qingfeng's heart hung in the air, but the words that followed made his hanging heart relax again.

"So, your tribe is going to be our enemy? The Faceless Man said jokingly.

"You flies in the garbage heap should be the ones who don't know the times, and you will be making trouble at our celebration and looking for death!" Hanterson scolded.

"Thank you, tribal warriors. "With the support of the tribe, although it can't necessarily defeat these invaders, it certainly won't make them feel better.

"No," Tyke replied tepidly, "we are not for you, but for the Terrans." Although we live in the wilderness, we are also part of the human race, and we will not stand idly by when we encounter an attacker. ”

Qingfeng didn't say much, and nodded slightly to the leaders of the tribe in thanks.

"Hehe, it's really impressive. Well, then we're going to send you to hell who profess to be religious, but do just that!" the Faceless laughed maniacally. "The Viyu family master, you phantom clan deal with those tribes who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and the people in the middle are left to me. ”

Viyu nodded and said, "But what we discussed before ......"

"I promise you nothing less, but only if I meet the heads of the tribal leaders, especially the big one. The Faceless Man said.

"Rest assured, these barbarians will be handed over to our Phantom Race. Viyu said confidently.

"When did you start representing the Phantoms?" said Kerry, who hadn't spoken for a long time. Only then did everyone find out that Kerry was a little angry, and Kerry's strength at this venue should not be underestimated.

Qingfeng noticed that Kerry's tone was a little angry, and his heart suddenly rejoiced. He and Kerry did not have a deep hatred, and if Kerry had chosen to be on his side at this time, the situation on the field would have been much more favorable to him.

Wei Yu sneered: "Master of the Kerry family, I think you have misunderstood, we are now a family representing the Phantom Clan, don't you mean what I mean, and besides, your daughter ......"

Kerry looked at Viyu with a flattering face, and interrupted him with a few sneers: "Viyu family master, you have carefully designed all this from the beginning to the present. Do you think I didn't see it? I didn't object to anything you planned, I just wanted to see what the hell you were trying to do. Why? You want to borrow my hand to get rid of this faceless Terran enemy, and then you will attack me, and after returning to the treachery of Yunlin, you will frame me for colluding with the Cloaked Man to encircle and suppress the Terran, and in the end, the Phantom Clan will belong to your Heron family?"

Seeing that everything was pierced by Kerry, Viyu's face with a disguised smile slowly returned to normal, and he said calmly: "That's right, I designed all this. However, you can't imagine how I knew your daughter was in Qingyun City, right? ”

Kerry instantly realized that all of these things were interlinked, and he had figured out everything, but he couldn't figure out the first link. And this first link is because Viyu knew that his daughter was in Qingyun City, and then there was this series of stories, but how did he know about it? This matter is only known to the guards and Joel, could it be...

Just as he was thinking, Kerry noticed that something was wrong, and the air around him suddenly made him a little cold, and suddenly he seemed to remember something. At the same time, Qingfeng, who was observing the situation on the field, also changed his face suddenly.

"Master Kree, watch your back!" shouted Qingfeng.

Note 1: A flame is a fire that cannot be extinguished by water, and must be extinguished with a special magic powder.
