Three days had passed since the three members of the Knights of the allied Vasilian joined Koyales and their fleet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Except for the strange dream that Lyales was haunted by that strange dream and Prince Chloe's situation was unknown, the road was unimpeded and no enemies attacked again. The knights of the Order now hold daily battle meetings with Koyales, several lieutenants, and scholars to analyze the current situation and discuss future plans.

"Is there any news about your follow-up troops, it is too few people to carry out landing combat missions like this, not to mention that you have now suffered more than thirty percent of casualties, and we don't know what else awaits us ahead. Clark sat upright, his face very serious, but his voice was very flat and deep. This is the regular meeting on the morning of the fourth day.

"His Majesty the King has not yet contacted us, we Oden are already small in number, and the land area is not large, and it is already rare to select 3,000 elite soldiers, and it is impossible to send an army of more than 20,000 people like Vasilian's vanguard - of course, 20,000 may not be a big number for you, allies, but it is a huge number for us. "But Jareth is embarrassed.

"We also know your difficulties, but now that the enemy has signed a contract with the demon, everything ahead is still unknown, and it is still a question of whether such a person can successfully land. ”

"We can only take one step at a time cautiously, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements after completing the landing operation with all our might, it stands to reason that the reinforcements should have been set off for a few days now, and there should be news soon. ”

When Ayales learns that it was Larry who saved her, she has been avoiding Larry for the last few days. She didn't understand how Larry, who had been working against her before, had become so obedient and concerned about her own safety. But Yalais had met Larry by chance the day before, when she had just come out of the cabin, and Larry was throwing useless pieces of wood and iron into the sea one by one by the railing. When Larry suddenly turned his head, they looked at each other, but Yalais seemed to see something unusual in Larry's eyes.

"Could he ......" But Yalais remembered the adults who had come to her door many years ago to propose marriage, and she had seen in the eyes of those people similar to the look of Larry now. Having never experienced love, Kyalese could not understand what love was, and now she saw that love was nothing more than a catharsis for those men to vent their sexuality, and she had never known the story of her parents since she was a child, and now she just wanted to be a warrior who swore to defend the kingdom to the death, just like Crewe once did. Perhaps her respect and affection for Crewe was the only affection she had ever shown for the opposite sex. "Thinking about the personal relationship between men and women now is too bad for the battle, it seems that he has to dispel his thoughts sooner......

Oden was much closer to Miller than Vassilian's Kaos continent, so their range was much shorter than Vassilian's. On the afternoon of the fourteenth day after the flotilla set sail, they finally reached the territory of Miller, whose coastline was clearly visible in front of them, but in front of the shoreline, more than a dozen warships were lined up waiting for their arrival.

"Sure enough, there are still so many enemies waiting, but I don't know if it's those monsters on the ship or the enemy warriors controlled by unknown forces. But Jales said to Clarke, who was standing at the bow of the boat with her.

"Or keep a certain distance first, I'm afraid of fraud, let's see if we can go to investigate the situation first?"

"No, dragon riding is too ostentatious, and it's easy to become a target for the enemy, and besides, we can't rely on you to solve everything. Dragons should be used as an emergency in times of last resort. But Jares politely declined Clark's offer and ordered the fleet to approach the enemy ships slowly.

Suddenly, without warning, Jares's heart tightened, and then she saw that the row of enemy ships in front of her exploded in an instant, and the flames formed a ribbon of light, reflecting the whole sea in a fiery red, and almost all the enemy ships were blown to pieces, and they did not even know what was on board, in short, whatever was on it had already been buried in the fire with the ship.

"What's going on?!!Did the suicide attack fail?" exclaimed Gray, the knight next to him.

"No, it doesn't seem that simple!" Clark said calmly.

"Look over there!" Knight Mike pointed to the back of the fleet, where a figure was approaching them, the figure was surrounded by purple mist, and the air around him seemed to be distorted, and when he approached, the warriors realized that it was a man in black robes walking on the sea.

"Are you ?!!" As the man approached the main ship where they were, Clark looked at the man's blurred face, and a wave of fear welled up in his heart, the man gave him a strong sense of oppression that he had experienced nine days earlier, when the Knights were surveying the ruins in Laconia......

Nine days ago, Laconia.

After reading Roy's diary that day, the Knights decided to go to the "ruins" mentioned in the diary where strange things had happened, and the group headed west under the leadership of Danko, and it didn't take long for them to see a pile of rubble.

"Captain, this is ......" John felt that this gave him goosebumps all over his body.

"This is probably the 'ruins' mentioned in the diary. Clark said, "Let's find out what clues." ”

"No need to look for it. Marshall said suddenly, pointing to the huge stones around him and the ground in front of him, only to see that there were human faces on the surface of the stones and under the ground, which seemed to have merged with the stones and the ground, "Those who are missing are here." ”

"This is ......" Danko approached a 'stone statue' that appeared to be a man on a horse, the stone statue had turned the color of loess, the lower part was tightly connected to the ground, and the upper part kept a surprised expression with his mouth wide open. Danke carefully looked at this 'work of art', which was slightly different from other 'stone statues', and analyzed: "This should be what they call 'Sir Hoyle'." ”

"Is that what the diary mentions about 'they are all dead'?" asked the knight named Roy.

"What happened to them, what was the force that made them merge with the ground and become stone statues?" John asked.

Danko looked at the swirl pattern of circles on the ground, and thought to himself that this must have been formed when the ground sank. The circles brought back painful memories he had always wanted to forget but couldn't forget—the round altar, the severed head, the torn sky, the demonic world...... "Could it be that someone is summoning demons here?" Danko thought to himself.

"Commander, what are we going to do next?" asked Clarke.

They didn't pay attention to this, and the eyes of a warrior statue behind them suddenly flashed with purple light, and by the time they realized what was wrong, it was already after John began to scream - only to see a black shadow burst out of the stone statue, and instantly enveloped John inside. The black shadow turned into a wisp of black smoke, which poured into John's body from his mouth, ears, and nostrils at a very fast speed, and John screamed, but soon he could not make a sound, and could only barely hear a slight moan. John fell to his knees with his head tilted upward, and the black smoke continued to pour into his body, and the others were completely unable to stop it.

"John!!" Clark exclaimed, subconsciously trying to pull the black smoke out with his hand, but his hand passed through the black smoke.

"Clark, get out of the way!" Dan said as he shot a beam of light into the black smoke, but just before the beam touched the black smoke, a barrier formed around John, and the beam bounced back. Now the other knights were blocked from the barrier, they couldn't get close to John, and all their spells didn't do any damage to the barrier, so they could only watch John be corrupted by it.

When the last wisps of black smoke entered John's body, John's eyes glowed purple, and the barrier shattered in that instant. He slowly stood up and looked at the people in front of him with an evil expression.

"John, John, are you alright?" Roy walked over to him—"Don't go near him!" Danco exclaimed, but it was too late, and John instantly gathered a cloud of purple energy in his hand and knocked Roy out with a single palm. The armor on Roy's chest was dented by the palm, but fortunately with the protection of the armor, he was not hurt more.

"What the hell are you, get out of John's body!" Danco retorted.

The thing that had taken over John's body didn't answer, and he twisted his neck and clenched his fists to get himself used to his new body. John's face began to change after being possessed by the thing—his complexion turned pale, his nose became slender, the tips of his ears began to lengthen, his lips seemed to be as thin as parchment, and his hair turned white. He's not like himself at all. He pointed his hand at Dan Ke, who was instantly pushed back by a force, and he thrust the big sword behind his back into the ground before he stopped.

"This guy's strength is not simple!" Dan Ke gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone disperse, keep your distance from him, use divine spells, and find a way to expel that thing!"

Nine knights formed a circle and surrounded John, and their former comrades had now become their enemies, something they had never thought of a few seconds ago, but now they had to fight John. Clark followed the instructions of the regimental commander, searching in his mind for divine spells that could expel evil spirits, and he looked at this familiar and unfamiliar comrade in front of him, and he really couldn't concentrate on fighting him.

"Field of Light!" Danko was the first to summon the spell, and the other knights began to follow suit, chanting a spell in a low voice, and in a few moments a pillar of light formed in the circle in front of them, enveloping John inside. The pillar of light continued to eat away at everything that was surrounded, but John had nothing, and the thing that possessed him had no intention of leaving. He spread his hands out, looked at them as if mockingly, and at last spoke in a voice like an echo from a distant valley.

"Stupid humans, you can't deal with me with what you have, so I'll let you be with those stones here!"

"Why is it ineffective? For the evil spirits that possess humans, the magic of the light attribute is definitely a natural enemy to restrain them, no matter how powerful the evil spirit is, it should always have some reaction. Danco wondered.

"Is the 'Jared who became a little weird' mentioned in the previous diary because he was possessed by this guy?Did those warriors become like that after being possessed by him?Will John ...... if this continues" Roy frowned, holding on to the spell with some difficulty, the muscles of his hands tensed in fear, and he didn't dare to let go.

"Feel the power of the gods!" the man snapped his fingers as he snapped his fingers, and the pillar of light that enveloped him shattered like a tile, and the energy of the pillar of light spread out, knocking everyone back a few steps, but because it was a divine spell, it did not cause any damage to the knights. Then he raised his right hand, palm up, and slowly gathered a purple ball of light, and then he turned his palm down, and the ball of light sank into the ground, and suddenly purple light shot out from the ground. The ground began to form a vortex centered around the ball of light, dragging everything around it into it.

"Is this the 'whirlpool' and 'subsidence' mentioned in the diary?" Marshall said after a long silence, as he continued to create ice in search of a foothold.

"Everything is in vain in the face of the 'Death Vortex', unless I intend to spare you, or let me be a part of this land!" the possessed John laughed wildly, the laughter was creepy and chilling, his voice was not at all like the John they were familiar with, "You human attachment to feelings has made you weak, now you can't kill me, and I can easily kill ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a great sword pierce through his chest, and he turned his head tremblingly, only to see Dan Ke, who should have been on the outside of the whirlpool, suddenly appear behind him at this time, and his eyes were like demons in hell, an expression that was simply not human beings could have.

"Damn...... Careless...... You...... Why can you ......" John's body was greatly damaged, and he seemed to have been hurt to a certain extent as a possession of John, he felt unbelievable, how he was negligent enough to be injured by a human, and he felt a strange force from outside the human world on this sword that pierced him, and this force was causing the host to repel him and want to expel him from his body.

"I've done this kind of thing a long time ago to kill my loved ones, I'm not what you call a human, because I don't deserve to be a human, I'm just a devil, a devil who can kill you. Danco whispered these words that only the two of them could hear, and the knights around him were still outside the vortex before they could react, "Now, get out! Drink!" Danco let out a loud cry as his greatsword that pierced through John began to glow with intensity, causing the possessed guy to feel extremely painful.

"Commander!!" The other knights only then noticed that Dan Ke pierced John with a sword, and Roy, who felt incredulous, shook his head and said, "How can you ......"

Then, black smoke began to rise from John's ears, nose, and mouth, and there was no doubt that the guy was ready to flee. The black smoke abandoned John's body, and John suddenly fell forward like a puppet with a broken string and Danko's greatsword. Black Smoke quickly rushed into the air, and he said in that echoic voice again, "You are quite capable among humans, and I look forward to being able to compete with you again!hahahaha!" Black Smoke laughed wildly and left in the northeast direction.

After making sure that the black smoke would not come back, Danco quickly pulled his greatsword from John's body, and strangely enough, there was no blood on the greatsword and John's wounds. At this time, the other knights also surrounded him, Roy still couldn't believe that the head of the regiment would kill John, as if he wanted to blame Danke, but before he could speak, Danke stopped him: "Don't talk nonsense with me now, I'll explain to you when I cure John!" Danke's words contained anger and impatience, and Danke, who was worshipped like a god in Roy's impression, basically never showed people in this state.

Danco quickly recited the incantation as soon as he drew his sword, he raised the two fingers of his right hand, and the fingertips began to glow under the effect of the incantation, and then he gently stroked the glowing fingers over the wounds on John's chest and back, and the wounds healed instantly.

"Leader, what are you ......" Clark wondered, although they had all learned a lot of spells from the Knights and the Sanctuary trip, but the spell that Dan Ke had just recited and the spell that made the wound heal instantly were all things they had never seen and never used before, and the power that Dan had just expelled from that thing Clark also concluded was some kind of spell that they didn't know about. Where Danko learned these things became a mystery, buried deep in his heart.

"Now that the trauma is no longer a problem, the rest is up to John's own will. Dan Ke looked at the unconscious John and said solemnly.

Right now.

Clarke, who recalled that terrifying memory, looked at the figure on the sea in front of him in shock and asked, "You are the one who possessed John that day?"

When the man heard this, he stopped and looked up at the boat, but the people still couldn't make out his face: "Are you one of the knights of that day? I have to say, your regimental commander still has two more hits, and you scum are not even as good as ants." ”

"You...... What is your purpose?" said Clarke, gritting his teeth, the calmest of the Knights in his day, and he was about to become flustered in the face of the man who possessed John and terrified him.

"Who are you, and why do you want to help us?, are you our reinforcements?" said Kejares, who interjected at an inopportune time, and the moment the word "help" was heard, the ship trembled.

"Help, you maggots, why should I help, how do you deserve my help? I'm just removing the obstacles that stand in my way. As soon as he clenched his fist, an Oden warship behind Yalais exploded like those enemy ships, "You are just like the stupid human who called himself a prince that I killed the day before yesterday, no matter what status you have, it is not worth mentioning in front of me!"

"Prince...... Could it be Prince Chloe?!" But Jales was startled, thinking that the prince might have been killed, she did not dare to imagine how to explain it to His Majesty, and in an instant, because of her gaffe, she had lost the lives of an entire warship, and she was also extremely remorseful.

"I am Minos, the 'son of God', and I have come to retrieve what was stolen by filthy thieves and rightfully mine. He said as he completely ignored the Oden warship beside him, and continued to move forward, he was moving very fast, and soon landed on the land of Miller, and disappeared from everyone's sight, before he disappeared, only his wild laughter that shook the sky could be heard-"Hahahaha! Obsidian Stone, I'm coming!"

"Obsidian? What is that? And what he said the Son of God is......" But Jares looked at Clark suspiciously, only to see that Clark was covered in sweat, and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he had been stimulated.

"Is it really that time? It seems that the commander and Marshall must be informed first......" Clark said as he had made two balls of light like York had done before, and flew in two different directions, and then he turned back to Kryales and said, "These things will not be clear for a while, please go to the cabin conference hall to discuss the details in detail." ”

Ten minutes later, inside the conference hall.

Clark shut out the other two knights and Oden's lieutenant, leaving only him and Koyales, and opened a barrier around them to block out the sounds, then he found a chair and sat down, and said to Koyales, " What I'm going to tell you next is confidential, and I shouldn't have mentioned it to anyone who wasn't a Knight, but the current situation is grim, and the blocked information is not conducive to the next battle arrangement, so I will make an exception to inform you of all this, and please don't leak the content of today's conversation, no matter how trustworthy the other party is, and don't reveal half a sentence. ”

"Okay, I understand. Nervous, Jares swallowed and sat down in a chair across from Clark.

"Let's start with the 'Children of God', have you heard legends about them before?"

"I didn't ...... No, this is the first time I've heard of this today. ”

"Then you should know the Nine Holy Spirits of the Sanctuary, right?" asked Clark again.

"A large part of us in Oden believe in Dinona, the goddess of the moon, and although I don't have a belief in the gods, I do know something. So are these 'sons of God' related to the gods?"

"Yes, if you want to talk about the son of God, you have to start with the legend of the gods, many of you may think that the so-called gods are just legends, they are not true, they are made up, but our knights once went to the Psychedelic Ocean two years ago, and found the legendary sanctuary, and after witnessing everything there, we fully believed in the fact that the gods existed. ”

"Have you seen the Holy Spirit?!" Kyales's eyes suddenly lit up, surprised and excited, it seemed that although she did not believe in the Holy Spirit, she still longed for God. I don't know if I think the gods will be able to restore her mother's sight and bring Crewe back to life, or if they will give her the answers to all her current doubts.

"None of this is important, the greatest takeaway from this trip is the instruction we received from the Sanctuary - the Son of God has come and the time of awakening is coming. ”

"Awakening?" said Kyales, confused.

"Let me explain to you the Son of God first. Clark lowered the arms that were held in front of his chest, relaxed his posture, crossed his ten fingers on the table, so that the arms and the table formed a triangle, and then said: "The sons of God are the general name of the earthly messengers chosen by the gods, basically every thousand years there will be a group of sons of the gods, their task is to intervene in the world's strife or some major event at that time, so that the earthly situation develops according to the gods and their will." In today's history, the Son of God has appeared at the beginning of every epoch, and it is said that the Son of God intervened in the war between humans and the elven race more than 1,500 years ago. ”

"So are these sons of God gods gods or humans?"

"Neither, and no. ”

"How?"

"The sons of the gods were chosen by the gods before they were born, and it can be said that they were born to be messengers of the gods, and the chosen messengers may be humans, elves, and even some animals and beasts, so it is not accurate to say that they are human beings. And the chosen sons of God are born with extraordinary and extraordinary powers, these powers almost make ordinary people unable to compete with them, for ordinary people they are simply god-like beings, but their power is still far from God. So they are both gods and not gods. ”

"And what about 'awakening'?"

"The children of God do not know their mission and special abilities at the beginning, they will live and grow in the ordinary people, they will think that they are no different from people, and when a certain time comes, their power will be fully revealed, and then they will also recall their identity and mission, which is called 'awakening'. Each child of the gods will have a special item that belongs to them, and that item is a sign given to them by the gods, also known as a 'holy weapon', which may be a sword, a pair of shoes, a gem, a rope or even a stone, all of which have the power of the gods, and possession of one can make tens of thousands of people surrender. ”

"Isn't the Son of God, then, supposed to be on the good side, but why did that Minos ......?"

"For among the gods there is also an elusive Holy Spirit, the King of Hades. Clark replied.

"Hades?"

"Yes, Hades. He is different from the other Holy Spirits, his opinions are often at odds with the others, and his actions are contrary to the others, and he often does many things that interfere with the other gods, and if that Minos is really the son of God as he himself says, then he must be the son of God of Hades!"

"What is the purpose of this Son of God of Hades? You said that every Son of God has a special 'holy weapon', so could the 'obsidian stone' in his mouth be ......?" guessed Kyales.

"Well, that's all I can guess now. ”

"I suspect that the 'prince' he killed was probably our Prince Chloe, and what if the prince was ......really killed by him," Kjares said in a low voice.

"Before this news is confirmed, it is better not to jump to conclusions, and I suggest that you order someone to communicate with the few soldiers who have heard the words of that guy with us, and let them keep it a secret, otherwise it will be a great blow to the morale of the whole army. Clark suggested.

"I have one last question. But Yalais's whole body was almost numb, and it seemed that she couldn't process so much information for a while, she wiped her sweat and asked, "Where did you get such detailed information?"

"It was the trip to the Sanctuary two years ago, and the details are inconvenient to disclose, please forgive me. ”

"No need to apologize, you have your difficulties, and I can't thank you enough to tell me so much information. Now that it's the Son of God and Alcatraz, what are we going to do next?"

"Naminos has cleared all the obstacles to our landing, so let's land and set up camp first, and then think about it in the long run. ”

"It's too dark now, let's land tomorrow morning. So as soon as the two of them came out of the conference hall, Kyales gave the battle order to land early tomorrow morning, and then she went into the cabin to rest.

That night, Jareth had another nightmare, but it was not the same as usual. She dreamed of herself being naked and surrounded by a circle of people from Oden's warriors and civilians, all of whom had expressions of indifference and numbness on their faces that were even more cold and numb than their own, staring coldly at her naked body in the center of the circle. But Jales was very embarrassed, she wanted to find something to hide her shame, but there was nothing around, she tried to escape from the crowd, but they didn't leave her a gap.

"Murderer. Murderer. Murderer. The onlookers suddenly began to speak, all in one posture and one expression, repeating the same word in unison, "murderer," but Jalais did not know what they meant by murderer, but she realized what they meant when the crowd suddenly moved out of the way, and King Oden, dressed in fancy clothes, came to her.

She is believed to be the culprit behind Prince Chloe's death.

"Why...... Why ......" But Yalais trembled almost all over, and she did not dare to look the king in front of her eyes.

"But what about the oath you took before you went on an expedition, and what about your loyalty to the kingdom, and how you pierced the chest of my poor son with this sword I gave you!" the king threw a bloodstained silver sword in front of Koraeth, who sat down on the ground, completely unable to understand what the king meant.

"Your Majesty, I ...... I didn't kill His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, he is ......" But Yalais's voice began to tremble.

"Don't quibble, look for yourself at the body of my son whom you brutally murdered!" The next few men carried a coffin to Koyales, and in the coffin lay Prince Chloe, whose chest was still covered with wounds and blood stains from the sword piercing, "This is the only flesh and bone I have left, and I have put so much trust in you to appoint you to take over Crewe's position, and now it seems that Crewe's death is not an accident, it must be your killer!" King Stan Arryn accused angrily.

"What the hell is this...... I don't know anything, I really don't know anything!" But Yalais sat on the ground and hugged herself, and she was on the verge of collapse.

"Do you know the prince's identity and mission? He is not just the heir to the throne, he is the son of God chosen by God! You actually killed the messenger of God, and dared to oppose God, you demon, why didn't I see your true face in the first place!" the king continued to retort angrily.

"No! I'm not a murderer, I'm not a demon!" said Jareth, covering her ears and shaking her head desperately, trying to bring herself to her senses.

"You're the murderer, you're the devil. Do you remember how the sword pierced my throat?" But as soon as Jales looked up, he saw Crewe crouching in front of her, staring blankly at her, the wound in his throat still oozing blood, but he didn't care.

Crewe ...... You ......" But Jareth looked horrified at the fatherly teacher who had died at her hands, but now called her a demon.

But Jalais looked at Prince Chloe, who was lying in the coffin, and his face was serene, as if he had fallen asleep, but suddenly he opened his eyes, which shone purple and had no pupils.

"I am the son of God!" said Prince Chloe's corpse.

But Yalath woke up, and when she woke up, she found herself lying in a pure white space with no end in sight.

"Damn, does it seem like a double dream?" Having been haunted by the white so many times, Yalais immediately realized that she was still in a dream, and she chose a random direction, and began to walk forward, at which point she noticed that she was no longer naked, and once again put on the white dress she had never seen before.

"But Jarese Love, if I bring the man who ruined your life to you, will you kill him?" the voice came again.

"Tell me how that man ruined my life!" said Kjares, impatiently.

"The one who controlled and killed Crewe, killed your father and blinded your mother. For the first time, the voice responded.

"What ?!!"
