West side of Lion Lake City.

A demonic war horse slowly walked to the foot of Lion Lake City.

The horse was clad in heavy black armor, but it was clearly not a living creature - its eyes glowed eerily red, and it had two crooked horns on its head.

It was a demon horse, and due to its armor, it looked no different from the undead horse that Leon had seen when he was dealing with the Dreadcorps at the seaside.

But the 'human' on horseback, let's just say it's a person, after all, it looks like a human shape...... It wasn't a decaying undead, but more like a blood-drenched corpse that had just lost its flesh and skin.

It looked a bit like the Fallen, only taller and more terrifying, its almost completely fleshless head revealing white cheekbones, and two large eyes staring around.

He was dressed in a dark red and black suit of armor, and held a shimmering battle axe in his hand.

This set of equipment looks so extraordinary that anyone can tell at a glance that this is the leader of an army of the Fallen.

"Devourer!"

King Vidis had heard of this image.

And then, he regretted slightly—he shouldn't have thrown out the rogue knights and underworld members who were in trouble in Lion Lake.

Right now, a black mist erupted around the Devourer's body.

Accompanied by the black fog was an incomprehensible whisper, perhaps some kind of spell, and the mere listening to it from a distance would make people feel distracted.

The black mist gradually lingered, enveloping the scoundrels who were screaming with broken legs.

Then, the scoundrels began to howl in pain while tearing themselves wildly!

This kind of scene is a nightmare that ordinary people may have for a long time after watching it - these more than 100 scoundrels tear their flesh and skin piece by piece together with their clothes in a cruel way in a thin black mist.

Starting from the head, the scalp ...... Eyelid...... Face, neck......

Then there is the torso and limbs......

Where the fingers are grasping, the flesh and skin are separated, and the flesh is blurred.

They tore very slowly, as if they were tearing themselves apart, tearing piece by piece, piece by piece.

Rain of blood fell along with their skin and flesh, turning the clearing outside the city into a mess.

Soon after, these scoundrels ripped all the skin off their bodies, not even the soles of their feet.

They...... Or rather, they have become a new degenerate.

Like the Devourer, they stared at the living people on the walls with their large, smooth eyes.

There were more than a hundred of the scoundrels who were causing rebellion, and Vidis threw them out of the city, which was equivalent to adding more than a hundred troops to the Devourer......

King Vidis swallowed with some difficulty.

He was now the only one on the city walls who kept his composure.

The Fields warriors around him, along with the leader of the 'Shield' Haakon, were vomiting incessantly.

Perhaps these Fields warriors were once thugs who killed people without blinking, but no matter how much they killed without blinking, they had never seen the tragedy of hundreds of people collectively killing themselves......

The Devourer stared at Vides for a few moments, then turned away, and the black mist went with it.

The disturbing whisper accompanied the Devourer and the black mist around it at the same time.

In the distance, terrible howls and wails rang out......

There are other living people who have been transformed into degenerates!

The wails that came from afar made the Fieldsway warriors in the city constantly recall the horrific scene they had seen before, and their eyes were full of horror and despair.

As the black mist and whispers continued to wander, the wailing gradually spread to the entire surrounding area of Lion Lake City, perhaps heard within a radius of dozens of miles.

"Your Majesty, a letter has been shot in from the south with a bow and arrow...... What's wrong with you guys? Vomited all? ”

Just then, Count 'Forkbeard' Airy approached Lord Vidis with a crumpled piece of brown paper, and then looked at Lord Haakon and the soldiers on the city wall with a strange look.

Except for drinking too much, the Fieldsweins rarely vomit because they don't get seasick.

'Forkbeard' Airy was a blonde hunk with a long beard on his chin that completely covered his neck.

The long, thick, stiff beard easily pricked his neck uncomfortably, so he forked the beard on the left and right of his chin with a silver buckle, which is where his nickname comes from.

This is typical of the Van Skerry people – a bushy and 'shaped' beard, which they see as masculine fashion, a symbol of strength.

Vidis is also a stylish macho man, he also has a full beard, and a big beard can also cover his neck - for the big guys from Vance Kerey, the beard covering the neck is the starting price, and they feel that those who can't cover their necks belong to the 'immature little cubs' and can't be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.

At the moment, with the exception of Vidis, almost all of the Vancekerians had a lot of vomit residue on their beards......

The leader of the 'strong shield' Hakang wiped his mouth and said with palpitations: "Fork Hu, you didn't see it just now...... It was a nightmare! ”

"I think this letter is a nightmare! Your Majesty, this is the letter of that Leon of the Lion Kingdom......"

Count Airy handed the letter to Vidis.

"To Lord Vidis: I'm sorry, but I have to lure you to Lion Lake City to face all this, because I can't make you believe me and send troops to support Lion Lake City except in this way...... You should be able to see what that terrible monster is doing, and it will turn all humans into degenerates. And I'm sure it's a forced way to bring the soul to its knees. I don't want to be like that, and I don't think you should want to...... So, I want to join forces with Fieldsway to get it back to where it belongs. As for the strife between you and me, I promise that until this terrible monster is struck, the Lion Kingdom will do nothing against Fieldswey, and your friends Gondor and Earl Aydin will make sure of it. —Duke of Long River, Leon Griffin, courtesy. ”

This is the content of the letter, written by Li Ang himself.

And at the end of the letter, in addition to Leon's griffin coat of arms, there is another coat of arms - Gondor's Trident of Aquaman.

This means that Gondor was by his side when Leon wrote this letter.

Maybe Gondor fell into Leon's hands, or maybe he cooperated with Leon.

Regardless, Viddes did not believe that Gondor would betray him, which means that the 'Autumn Innocence' promised by Leon's letter could be true.

The three of them looked at each other in silence.

"It was a Noldor elf who shot this letter into the city, and he rode a fast horse and shot an arrow and ran away in the direction of the village of Payne. Most of the Fallen are slow-moving, seemingly unable to stop the light cavalry. ”

Count Airy was clever enough to speak first, avoiding Vidis from asking about the process.

Well, it can't stop the light cavalry, but the problem is that Fieldsway's troops in Lion Lake City don't have cavalry......

Only the three lords of them had horses.

Moreover, there are many people in the army of the Fallen on horseback, but there are only a few of them.

Those horses are also the kind of blood-soaked monster horses with no skin all over their bodies.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? The brothers are all infantry, so I'm afraid it's hard to confront that monster head-on......"

Haakon asked with some hesitation.

"Find a brave warrior, ride my horse out of town, and go to Penn and ask Leon what he is going to do!" You guys...... Send men on your horses and go to Fox Town and Fort Kenne, and gather all our troops......"

Vidis gritted his teeth and tore the letter to shreds: "We have no choice! ”

……

Payne Village.

“…… My lord, I think we are seeing Wofbourd, the 'Wolf of Omens', north of Dawn Furnace. ”

The largest manor in Payne Village has been converted into a military camp, where Leon meets An Dongjia, who has just arrived.

Andonga brought a knight from the Raven Realm—or rather, a knight named Kelvin who was tightly tied.

"No, that's not the 'Omenwolf Wolf'...... Perhaps it should be called the 'Killer'! It was not the incarnation of the legendary god Vijovis, but a monster through and through! It's not just attacking the Raven Realm, it's slaughtering you Misty Mountain people! ”

Kelvin shook his head, still disagreeing with Ann Dongjia's claim.

Kelvin is a member of the Raven Spear Knights, who roams the vicinity of Dawn Furnace City all year round, leading a small army and excelling in guerrilla warfare.

This guy is familiar with the Red Brotherhood slave traders in the Raven Realm, and his main business is to capture and sell the Misty Mountain people to slave traders.

This is also the traditional business of many knights in the Raven Realm.

Not long ago, he had crossed the Misty Mountains, intending to find some 'goods' in the ice fields of the Misty Mountains.

Unfortunately, his squad was nearly wiped out when he encountered a murderous monster indiscriminately slaughtering the village of Gosbull, a village in the ice field north of Dawn Furnace.

Fortunately, this guy was a good rider and ran away with a few of his men in embarrassment, but they were really unlucky, and before they could escape back to Xiaolu City, they ran into An Dongjia again.

An Dongjia was cooperating with Ursula at that time, and at that time, he was near Dawn Furnace City with a large number of men, and he encountered a few wild Raven Realm knights, which must have been caught.

Later, An Dongjia learned the news of the Bearpaw tribe that had a grudge against her—it was a bit ridiculous to say that a Misty Mountain person got the news from another tribe by relying on a Crow Realm knight who was fleeing for his life......

Kelvin tells Antunga that the Bearpaw Clan's raiders are in the village of Gosbull, north of Dawn Furnace, but that they are facing a massacre by a monster.

So An Dongjia went over and took a look from afar-she didn't go to the rescue, she wanted to see if she was going to fall into the well......

Then she saw the monster, which she thought was Wolfbird, the Wolf of Omens, the messenger of the god Vijovis, and she had no intention of going against the gods.

But Kelvin thinks it's a monster from the Raven Realm, and now it's a murderous devil.

An Dongjia wasn't sure what it was, but whether it was a god or a demon, An Dongjia couldn't ask directly face to face, so she tied Kelvin and took him away.

"The Omenwolf does occasionally kill people who disobey him, I've heard my father say that...... But perhaps this is also the will of the god Vijoves, but it seems that this time the incarnation of the god does seem to be a bit tyrannical. ”

An Dongjia shrugged: "So I take those who are willing to follow me away so that there is no misunderstanding - I'm not sure that in the eyes of the god Vijovis, the people who have learned the Pande dialect and have lived in the Raven Realm all year round are not considered to be Misty Mountain people." ”

"No, Lady Andonga, it is not your god! I know the Misty Mountains...... I've heard rumors of the Omenwolf too, but what that thug did is completely inconsistent with the rumors......"

Kelvin was still emphasizing with Ann Dongjia.

"Yes, that's why you came here alive......"

An Dongjia nodded, agreeing with Kelvin's opinion, and then turned to Leon and said, "My lord, I only saw it from a distance, but this guy has come into direct contact with the incarnation of the god. Misty Mountains and Raven Realm...... Now something is really wrong. ”

Li Ang sighed and nodded, "This seems to have happened at the same time as the discovery of heresy in Lion Lake City...... Andonga, is the Omenwolf really the incarnation of the god Vijovis? ”

"Indeed...... But in our lore, the Omenwolf is the chosen messenger sent by the gods to keep the people of the Misty Mountains alive......"

An Dongjia nodded and said.

The Misty Mountain tribe is a people favored by the god Vijovis.

For the Misty Mountain people, if a shaman sees the god Vijovis incarnate as a bobcat or a snow leopard, it is a symbol of good luck and indicates that the tribes of the Misty Mountains are thriving.

But if the Misty Mountain Folk reach the end of their rope and the tribe is shattered, the god Vijovis will send his human avatar, the 'Wolf of Omens' Wolfberd, to lead the tribes of the Misty Mountains.

As the Chosen Herald, Wofbird will appear in the Wolf Howl, and then it will quickly unite the Misty Mountain tribes in a short period of time to reclaim the territory that the god Vijovis should have, which is the land and ice fields in the northern part of the Raven Kingdom.

This oracle has appeared several times in the legends and records of the Misty Mountains, but it is rumored that it does not deliberately kill the Misty Mountain people, but will take over the leadership of the tribes of the Misty Mountains with a powerful and swift posture - of course, there are usually killings in the process, but only to solve problems quickly.

Brutal killings usually occur in the Raven Realm - Wolfbird will select elites from various tribes to attack the land of the Raven Realm, and in the process, let the Misty Mountain people obtain a large number of survival resources, and constantly restore the strength of the Misty Mountain.

More than 150 years ago, the establishment of the Raven Kingdom was the people of the Raven Realm who united to repel the 'Omenwolf Wolfbird' and the army of the Misty Mountains led by it.

But, but.

In all legends and records, Wolfbird appeared in winter, and it was when there were strife within the Misty Mountain people and strong enemies outside, basically unable to support it, and facing the danger of extinction.

In other words, whether it is legends or records, for the people of the Misty Mountains, Wolfbird appears as a 'God's chosen hero', which represents the resurrection of the Jedi in the Misty Mountains!

However, it is not winter, it is the easiest summer to find resources, and the people of the Misty Mountains are not facing the danger of extinction......

And the appearance of Wolfbird this time also does not match the rumors.

"Antunga, Kelvin, you mean to say that Wolfbird showed up when it shouldn't be, and that it was slaughtering the Misty Mountain people?"

Leon asked.

"My lord, it's not just that...... I come from the Order of the Ravenspear, and the so-called Wolfbird I met resembles one of our Knights......"

Kelvin said to Leon, "He is seven feet tall (two meters one), and his two eyes are black and blue - exactly what 'Sir Raven' Boris looks like!" ”
