Chapter 62: The Two Leaders
"Sure enough, the undead in this place are a bunch of people with no conscience, and he just left!?" Luthor was unconvinced.
The bodies of the sacrificed soldiers were already cold, and everyone looked at the old man of Valin who was still kneeling on the ground with hateful eyes, if it weren't for the fact that they were in someone else's territory, Turks might have directly carried him and threw him into the sea at this time.
"Guys, come with me. It was a long time before Valin spoke to the grieving crowd.
This Valin, it's okay not to speak, but when he speaks, Tex can't be angry, if it weren't for Coren to stop him, and then as Penor said, he wouldn't die, and Tex would have chopped him up.
"What are you doing?" Valin looked in horror at Tex, who was about to rush with his sword, apparently, because of Peno's orders, he didn't dare to do any more over-the-top pranks on the group now, although it was murder in the strict sense of the word.
"What are you doing? You dare to ask!? You come and tell me that my brother was killed by you for no reason, how can I calm down!?" Turks' flames of fire could not be found, but everyone stopped him, and in the end he could only slash his sword at the stone wall behind him in anger, cutting a hole in the wall.
No one can accept the sudden death of such a brother in front of him, and neither can Jack, who once saw his good brother Johnson swallowed by the sea, and before he even had time to say a few words of goodbye, he died with a full of unwillingness. At this moment, another Misser lost his breath in front of him, and his grief was probably as good as that of Turks and Cologne.
"When he returns, give him a generous burial. Do any of you know his name?" asked Cologne, teary-eyed.
All the soldiers shook their heads and said, "I don't know, it's just that he usually likes to call himself a stone, and that every soldier in the Missus country is a stone that builds the wall to protect the people." When Coren listened, he burst into tears.
"Father, then let's go back first, or ...... Follow Peno?" Turks asked, squinting at Valin. Coren thought for a moment and said, "Let's go in! After all, we have come this far, and we can't live up to everyone's expectations of us!"
Coren arranged for the two to return with the soldier's corpse first, and the rest of the people followed him.
"yes, I'll just say, we're really here to help you!" Valin interjected with excitement that popped up out of nowhere. Tex pretended to swing his sword to stab him, but the old man saw the situation, so he had to keep his mouth shut and silently led everyone into the gate.
The group walked along the two living quarters, and finally after a long hallway, they saw Peno, who was waiting.
This is the most central part of the entire underground palace, and with the protection of a dozen heavy gates along the way from the eastern living quarters, Penau built this luxurious and exquisite main hall. The main hall is in the shape of a round arch, which can accommodate more than 100 people at the same time, a bit like the layout of the Colosseum, but more like a large theater - there is only a two-meter high platform in the center, covered with a red square carpet, which is usually used for Peno's speeches or important policies. On both sides of the platform, five rows and ten rows of stone benches are placed on each side, which are stacked on top of each other. On the top of the main hall, there is a protruding sphere, hanging some ornaments made of crystals, refracting the light, making the whole main hall shine rainbow-like light from time to time. On the ground facing the crystal ornaments, in addition to the high platform, there is still a red carpet decorated with some emerald flowers. There are about 50 oil lamps of different sizes and shapes that are used to make fuel from petroleum on the walls.
Directly opposite the direction where Jack came, that is, due east, there was a small stone door hidden behind the curtain, and if he hadn't deliberately looked at it and found the hand gate on the side of the door, he might have thought it was just decoration.
Peno, hearing the voices of the people behind him, quickly turned around, didn't say anything, and looked at Coren. His hideous beast face was so peaceful at this time.
Peno slowly unfastened the red cloak from his back and said, "I like red because it's like the blood of the dead earth's undead." "Everybody didn't understand what he meant. Just then, the cloak fell to the ground, and Penor slowly turned around, and it was only then that Coren understood his inner thoughts.
The leader of the undead was covered with countless sword wounds behind him, long and short, thick and thin, densely distributed on his muscular back.
"It's ......"
"This is left over from the war with the foreigners. Peno said, tilting his head.
"Foreigner, you mean......" Coren seemed to know something.
"Yes, Gemmer. These are the actions of the Gemo people. Before you came to the gorge, we fought a long battle with Montara on the west, and we had five thousand men, but now we had only three thousand. Peno said with some sadness.
"Original...... The peace of the continent for so long is all because of your ......". Although Jack didn't know what they were talking about, he could vaguely feel that this continent was not as peaceful as he imagined.
"Just a year ago, Montaro invaded our territory and wreaked havoc, and our soldiers had to fight again, but the kingdom of Victoria had just returned and there was no one to help us, and we suffered heavy losses in that battle, losing three hundred soldiers. Peno said.
At this time, Jack suddenly felt that something was wrong, yes, the Vedic Kingdom!? Isn't this what Turks had been telling him before, the Vedic Nation that has no common enmity with the Missies? Why does it seem to be on the same front now? Jack had been suspicious of the Vedic Kingdom before, and now Peno said this, which makes people completely confused about the relationship between these countries.
"Has Gabo done anything lately?" Coren asked.
"No, he's raising soldiers, and the big day is approaching, and everyone is breathing that breath. Our situation is not optimistic. ”
Turks also heard in a fog: "Are you talking about Montaru, what is he going to do? Isn't there a peace treaty?" The peace treaty that Tex said was that when Colon went on an expedition to the western barbarian world a few years ago, he was defeated by the various ethnic legions led by Montaro, and later the two sides agreed that they would not interfere with each other for the next twenty years with the Shenri River two hundred kilometers west of the canyon as the boundary, and signed a written agreement, but what he didn't expect was that Montaro was secretly constantly attacking the eastern countries, and Coren obviously did not tell Tex everything.
"I didn't expect that what I thought was a peaceful life turned out to be your undead silently killing the enemy behind the scenes!" Coren said movingly.
"King Coron, don't thank me yet, right now, Montaro is organizing an army of 600,000 and is about to cross the River of Shenri to annex the human world. He knows what we're going to face in more than two months, so he wants to sneak up on you while the sandpiper and clam are fighting. ”
Jack still didn't know what they were talking about, and besides, wasn't Colon disgusted with Peno's before?How did he talk like an old buddy now?
