Chapter 214: The Past 19 Years Ago
Joseph led the rest of the soldiers all the way west, and their destination was the retreat that Reims had planned, the Walk through the Woods. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Previously, Lance led 5,000 cavalry out of here and attacked the plains of Clay, which brought about the victory of the Battle of Clay City. But now the presumptuous advance of the Duke of Aceh buried this victory with his own hands.
The soldiers walked through the forest path, and gradually entered a secluded place. The killing and pain behind them no longer seem to have anything to do with them.
The big-nosed George was hit by several arrows, but fortunately he was rescued and there was no major problem. Lying on a stretcher, he looked around worriedly and asked, "General Joseph, is this place?"
Joseph said: "This is the path through the forest, and the surprise attack of His Highness Lance and Eve before started from here. The retreat route he planned for us was also here. ”
The big-nosed George was relieved when he heard that it was the route planned by Lance: "That's good, at least I can go back alive." I'm a little envious of old Tullius now recuperating in Clay City. Although they were wounded in the Battle of Clay City, they were wounded and reaped an epic victory. But what about me now? I'm wounded, and I've had an epic defeat. It's a shame. ”
Joseph glanced at the Duke of Aceh, who was also lying on a stretcher in the distance, and said, "George, don't say anything, you can rest in peace." ”
The big-nosed George didn't pay much attention to Joseph, but complained: "Now that the main force of Idireis is exhausted, even if we retreat to Idiris, how many troops do we still have to defend the city? But...... But...... What the hell is that?"
Big Nose George recalls the fragments of his memories when he was ambushed before, and he seems to have seen a figure a moment before he escaped. A waxy white face like birch bark, eyes glowing with a long blue light, and a chilling feeling. All made the big nose George feel cold in the back.
Joseph said with a solemn and cold face: "It's the necromantic army." ”
The big-nosed George gasped: "The Necro Army? is that army led by the Necro Knights, who claims to never die?"
"It's not that they won't die, it's just that they are dead in the first place, so how can they die a second time?" said Joseph.
"Nineteen years ago, when the Necromantic Force first appeared in Dragonclaw Valley, I spoke in the same tone as you do now. I was about your age at the time. These necromantic troops can march day and night without eating or drinking. At the same time, they are not breathing, they can be like corpses, buried in the ground, and they can not get up for hundreds of years. They are the most terrifying army created by the evil god Metuk using the Bible of Death, the goddess of death, Nijeka. They were all heroes or warriors of various races such as humans, dwarves, and elves. For a variety of reasons, either hatred or injustice. So they responded to the call of the demon gods and took refuge in the demons, in exchange for the power of revenge on the righteous world. In their hearts, there is only endless hatred for us who are alive. It can be said that they hate this unfair world. They have long been disgusted with this world in their hearts, and they have only one purpose, to destroy this world that has broken their hearts. ”
Hearing Joseph's introduction, the surrounding soldiers were suddenly silent, and there was only the sound of untimely bird chirping.
Big-nosed George asked, "But in the battle in the Dragonclaw Mountains 19 years ago, our combined forces of humans, dwarves and elves finally won, and if this army could not be killed, how did you win at that time?"
"This thing...... He ......" Joseph said a little incoherently, "the matter is disgraceful. ”
The big-nosed George asked, "What's so dishonorable about defeating these terrible monsters and winning the war?"
Joseph glanced at Duke Aceh, and then said: "We couldn't be defeated at all before, we lured the main force of the demon race to the Dragon's Claw Valley, after an ambush and a series of battles, all the troops of our other races of the demon race, but this necromantic army is not okay at all." What was originally our advantage gradually became the other's advantage. And the advantage of the demons. And just when we were about to be cornered, suddenly all the necromantic troops seemed to have lost their strength, and the immortal body was suddenly gone. So even if we counterattacked and finally defeated the demons, they were defeated all the way back to the Metauk Demon Domain. Later, we learned that it was Ode Vragon and Kaos, the god of chaos, who had died together. Only then did these undead legions that were immortal with the help of the power of the demon god lose their magical power. “
The big-nosed George was puzzled and said, "But isn't this something to sing and cry about?
"Because the weapon that can kill the demon god was only Odd Furagon's Yalampel Excalibur at that time, and Jalampel Excalibur somehow, he mistakenly regarded Ode Phagon's wife Nidia as a host, so in this case, in order to activate the god-slaughtering power in the Excalibur, Nidia's power is needed. However, at that time, Odd Furagon's wife Nidia was 7 months pregnant, and there was no way to drive the Jalampel Excalibur, and if she didn't get it, she would put the mother and child in danger. Therefore, Oder did not want to participate in the war, so he wanted the coalition forces not to rush to attack Idris who was occupied by the demons. But ......"
George's face sank, and he probably guessed, "But the coalition is marching in?"
Joseph nodded and said, "That's right, we were just like today, winning one after another. The coalition command all agreed to take the opportunity to drive the demons into the sea in one fell swoop. So we marched, but we didn't expect the demon clan's spirit legion to appear, so that the situation that we were originally surrounding the demon clan suddenly turned into a demon clan surrounding us. The High Command learns from the priesthood of the god of law, Audnon, that in order to kill the Necromantic Legion, the Demon God must be killed. Otherwise, they will gain a steady stream of mana. And the only one who can do this is Odd Phagon. ”
"But didn't you say that he needed the help of his wife Nidia to activate the sword of Jalampel?"
Joseph sighed and said, "Yes, but the situation is urgent. Under the repeated pleas of the commanders of the coalition forces. So Odd Phagon, carrying his wife Nidia behind his back, sacrificed his blood at the cost of half his life, and forcibly changed the host of the sword of Jalampel to Odd himself. After that, he took Jalampel Excalibur and several of his teammates from the adventuring group and infiltrated the temple of the Demon God of Chaos Kaos on his own. Due to the fact that Odd forcibly lost half of his lifespan before, he couldn't fully drive the Jalampel Excalibur to defeat Kaos when he fought. So in the end, he decided to fight against the odds and use all the strength he had left to forcibly drive the Jalampel Excalibur. In the end, he killed Kaos, the demon god of chaos, and Od himself died of exhaustion. ”
"How can this be? It turns out that the heroic story of Odd Vragon that we have heard since childhood is actually like this!" said the big-nosed George indignantly, "It is the commanders of the coalition forces who have made mistakes, why should Odd bear it." And what about them? After the victory, I am afraid that each of them will be famous! What will this do with the wife of Odd and the wife who has not yet been born! He is disgusted!"
Joseph said: "It is too late to say anything, and we as a whole owe it to the Ode Phagons." Originally, everyone was in guilt and wanted to be kind to Odd's wife Nidia and the widow. But the day after the reconquest of the city of Idiris, the day after Nitya gave birth to a boy, the mother and son disappeared, and they were never seen again. ”
"What a sad story. The big-nosed George lamented: "If the Yalampel Excalibur can kill the Demon God and defeat the Necromantic Legion, then we can just retrieve the Arampel Excalibur?"
Joseph said, "No way, except for a few of Odeh's sworn friends, the rest of us have not seen Yalampel Excalibur at all. And I've heard that the Jalampel Excalibur shattered into several pieces after killing Kaos, the god of chaos. Then he was taken away by Nidia and never seen again. ”
"So what do we do now?"
"We have 12 gods, so there are at least 12 or more artifacts that can kill the demon gods. Yalampel Excalibur is just one of them. Joseph looked up at the dim forest and said, "As long as we find another artifact holder, there is hope." Just don't have tragedies like Odd again. ”
