Chapter 39: Bad News (I) The Beginning
Outside the city of Harogas at the foot of the Sacred Mountain of Aretus, the icy land of the Continent of Daywind
Halogas, the capital of the Brute Bull Clan, because there are many passes and two cities of the Brute Bull Clan to go to the Holy Mountain, the walls of Harogas are actually not high, because no army has ever been able to go so deep into the hinterland of the Brute Bull Clan, even the most powerful Icaram on the Wind Continent only attacked Kalogas, and only lasted less than three days before the Bull Clan who counterattacked was almost completely annihilated, which is also the main reason why they built the Sharp Blade Fortress.
But now the situation is completely different, the Bull Pass and the city on the road to the Holy Mountain have all been destroyed, but in just one week, Baal led his army of Hell Disciples to attack the hinterland of the Bull Clan, and successfully uprooted the two cities of the Bull Tribe, Kalogas and Flogas, the last barrier of the Holy Mountain Aritus, and the last surviving city of the Bull Clan.
As the capital of the Barbarian Bull Clan, the warriors here are more capable of fighting than Kalogas and Flogas! Outside the gates of Harogas, there has recently been a "moat", a moat made of blood, and the originally snow-white ground has also turned into a scorched earth due to the long battle, and blood flows down the cracked earth throughout the battlefield! The battlefield was littered with corpses, monsters, and bull warriors.
Only about five miles from Harogas, there is a garrisoned military camp that stretches for nearly a hundred miles along the pilgrimage road, and it is believed that this is where the Bar army is stationed. Wisps of smoke still rose from the land of Harlogas, and it was believed that there had been a fierce battle here not long ago.
The Great Tent in the Center of the Front of the Bar Barracks
The atmosphere in the big tent seemed to be extremely solemn, Baal sat on the throne obliquely, while playing with his soul stone necklace while scanning the five monsters in the big tent, sitting on the left side of the throne was a pair of very fat monsters, they were basically carved out of a mold except for the different skin colors! One of them had silver skin, the other had green skin, their legs were extremely short, and it was very funny to carry such a fat body, and their right hand was a long meat whip, and the armor on their bodies could not be found to cover their shoulders, hearts, and heads.
They are a pair of twin monsters, the silver-skinned one is the eldest brother Shanke, who is extremely cruel on the battlefield and is good at controlling his subordinates with fear, so the monster room gave him a very suitable nickname "Overseer". Dressed in green skin is his younger brother Caro, and contrary to his brother, he prefers to be alone, and likes to tear the throat of his prey with his own teeth after beating his prey half to death, and is known as the "Tooth Killer" among monsters. β
Sitting by the door sat a very short monster, Darkfarne, whose physique looked more like that of a severely stunted human child except for his long ears and a few thick braided white hairs, and he had done nothing spectacular, he had been specially brought out of the inner hell by Baal, because he and his race were the only monsters capable of controlling the steel behemoths.
Iron Behemoths, a kind of monsters that can walk upright with sharp claws and steel bodies, they are generally about seven or eight meters tall, and between their necks and backs is the only place where steel is not born, just enough to accommodate the short body of the Takfarn clan, it seems that there is an indescribable tacit understanding between the two monsters.
On the right hand side of Baal sat a monster with a strong human body except for the claws of the hands and feet, but covered with a thick layer of hard skin without a head, they used to be Baal's enemies, but after Baal defeated them, he did not kill them, but only transformed their heads into a new ability, making them lose their thoughts and become the most loyal killing force to Baal! Among the monsters, they are known as the Giant Mallet Reaper!
Sitting on the right was a pimpled, green-skinned monster who looked like a toad, except for a strange flat bone in his left hand, and a scimitar beside him, which seemed to be the only monster here that could use weapons. He's the Correctorβthe Weird, the leader of the Servant Clan!
The Servant Demon Clan is a new race of monsters cultivated in hell after Baal came to the world, although they do not have powerful magical means, but they have extremely strong bodies and great strength and tenacious vitality, and their reproductive ability is also amazing! Because of this, the Servants are the backbone of the Baal army!
"Lord Baal! Why did you just make us withdraw? Carlo looked at Baal with a puzzled expression, "I'm going to climb the city walls, as long as I rush into the city and open the gates, the army will be able to enter the city immediately!" In this way, the Barbarian Bull Clan will definitely be defeated! β
"Carlo, do you really think you can open the gates on your own?" Barr looked at Carlo with a sneer, "It's been four days since we came here, and we've fought a few times with the Brute Bull Clan, who do you think wins?" "There is no winner yet."
"What do you think?" Barr asked the opinion of the monsters present, "I agree with my brother, and I feel like we have the upper hand every time, it's just ......" Shank pondered for a moment and replied to Barr's words, "It's just that every time I give the order to retreat, isn't it the right time?" If you keep fighting, you'll win, right? Barr smiled and looked at the two brothers.
Although Barr looked at the two brothers with a smile, the two brothers didn't dare to reply anymore, and a chill rose behind their backs, "Every battle seems to be beneficial to us, but do you know the death rate of each battle?" The demons were silent.
"Twelve to one!" Baal stopped playing with his soul stone necklace and sat up slightly, glaring at the monsters in the tent, "This is our shame! You're all high-level monsters that I've carefully selected! It's the elite of the elite, the ace of the trump card! Do you think this record is worthy of your identity? Do you want me to pull out my own Praetorian Guards so that you can make decent results? Yes? After a roar, Baal slowly leaned back on his throne and looked at the demons with a smile again, "The Barbarian Bull Clan is worthy of being a race that grows braver and braver every time, every time they seem to enter a disadvantage, they always exert amazing combat effectiveness, but instead kill more of our soldiers, don't you see this?" If we continue to fight, it will not be them who will lose, but us! β
"Papa" burst into applause, "He is worthy of being the King of Destruction, and even these are seen so thoroughly!" "Still only hear their voices and don't see their people," Who? All the demons were shocked, they all stood up, and took their weapons in their hands, only Baal was calm, he waved his hand to signal the demons to be quiet, "I didn't expect you to come here to find me." Seeing Baal's gesture, the demons returned to their places.
"I'm only here to deliver some useful information for you," the voice of a mysterious woman sounded in the middle of the tent, "how about it, do you want to hear it?" β
"You say, I'll listen." Baal began to play with his soul stone necklace again, "Your third brother, the Lord of Terror, has died in the Chaos Sanctuary he built himself!" The mysterious woman's tone was extremely flat, as if Diablo's death was just a common conversation for her.
"What?" All the monsters in the tent were amazed, how terrifying the power of the King of Terror was, and Baal had also received Diablo's detailed plan before, the Chaos Shelter could greatly weaken the power of the angels, so it would only be humans who killed their third brother!
"Who gave my third brother the final blow?" After a moment of silence calmed his agitated heart, Barr raised his head and asked the mysterious woman, "What?" Do you think the survivors killed your third brother together? "Isn't it?" The mysterious woman's tone surprised Baal again, how powerful his third brother was, if it weren't for the joint efforts of the survivors of the five earth tribes to besiege him, how could the third brother be killed?
"Of course not, the necromancer is the only one fighting the Lord of Terror! It was he who defeated the King of Terror alone, and it is estimated that he should have reached the Soul Forge by now. "All the demons were frightened by the mysterious woman, and she alone defeated the King of Terror, so how powerful was this person to do such a thing, but they did not dare to say anything, for fear of provoking the Lord of Destruction, who was in a state of anger.
"It can't be!" Baal jumped up from his throne and yelled at the mysterious woman, "The necromancer is only the weakest of the attacking people, how can he kill my third brother?" β
"Believe it or not," the mysterious woman didn't seem to want to argue with Baal, "anyway, you should know in a few days, the angels have led their army into the inner hell, your army has been cut off, and your army is no longer endless." β
"I need to go back to hell at once to save my third brother!" Baal said what spell to cast, "Lord of Destruction? Are you really going to hell? The mysterious woman suddenly stopped Barr.
"If I don't go back, the third brother's soul stone will definitely be destroyed by those humans, and I have to save him!" Barr seemed a little panicked, the death of the third brother seemed to hit him very hard, "Have you forgotten what Mephisto said before he died?" I've done so much for the three of you brothers, is it to see you go back to hell and die at the last critical moment? β
Look at me, the demons in the big tent, I look at you, who is this woman who only hears her voice and does not see her person? How dare you speak to the Lord of Destruction like this.
"Big brother~!" The mysterious woman's words made Baal gradually calm down, "The angels have arranged hundreds of thousands of armies in hell, and almost all the elites of the Olga clan live in the demon fortress built by the angels. β
Baal slowly sat back on his throne, "After a few rounds of attrition, the Barbarian Bull Clan does not have the courage to rush out of Harogas again, relying on the protection of Harogas, I will not be able to destroy the Barbarian Bull Clan for a while, if what you said is right, the angels should soon come to join this war, and I will definitely be defeated at that time, if I can save the third brother now, we will have the capital to continue the war in the future, right?" Barr slowly spoke his thoughts.
"You can rest assured that the angels will not be able to spare their time to support the Barbarian Bull Clan for the time being," the mysterious woman seemed to see more clearly than Baal, "Although the King of Terror has been defeated, the monsters he left behind in the Inner Hell will still recruit troops for you, if the Angels do not suppress the Inner Hell as soon as possible, then it will be meaningless to defeat the King of Terror, so I dare to conclude that the army of angels should re-establish order in the Inner Hell at this moment." The mysterious woman analyzed the situation in front of her for Bal, "As for the Barbarian Bull Clan hiding behind Harogas and waiting for reinforcements, you can rest assured, the purpose of your coming here is just to pollute the World Stone, and it has nothing to do with destroying the Barbarian Bull Clan, right?" With your own strength, you can go straight to the World Stone Fortress, so why stay in the army? As long as the army stays here, humans and angels would never have imagined that you would go to the Worldstone Fortress alone. β
"But isn't the World Stone Fortress guarded by three of the greatest warriors of the Barbarian Bull Clan? Entering the World Stone Fortress requires the unique sacred relics of the Barbarian Bull Clan, and the only way to enter the World Stone Fortress is to defeat the three greatest warriors of the Barbarian Bull Clan and gain their approval, right? Bal asked the mysterious woman in a loud voice.
"That's true, but is there any necessary connection between obtaining the sacred relics of the Barbarian Bull Clan and destroying the Barbarian Bull Clan's attack on Harogas? Why don't I see the inevitable connection between these two things? "There is no necessary connection," the mysterious woman's words seemed to be agreed with by Barr, "If I knew where the relics of the Barbarian Bull were stored, I would definitely go and fetch them myself, but because I don't know where the relics are hidden in Harlogas, I have personally inspected the altar in the city, and the relics are not placed there!" β
"The holy relic is protected by the only surviving elder of the Barbarian Clan, Niracek, and should be in this hut!" On the map on Baal's table, a concave mark appeared, believing that the mysterious woman was pointing out the location of the sacred relics of the Barbarian Bull Clan for Baal, and it seemed that the Barbarian Bull Clan had already guessed that Baal might steal the holy relics, so they had taken the holy relics off the altar.
"How do you know?" Barr wondered why this woman knew everything so well. What information could she know in such detail?
"It doesn't matter how I know, the important thing is that after the King of Terror is destroyed, although the angels will not come to support the Barbarian Bull Clan, Tyrell will definitely teleport the survivors of the Earth Five Clan to Harogas to participate in the war to defend the World Stone Fortress, I estimate that it will not take more than two days, they will be teleported from hell, if you don't capture the holy relic during this period, it will not be so easy to seize the holy relic after they arrive in Harogas."
"Are those survivors of the Earth Five Clans really that powerful?" "I don't know, but if they do come, at least one of them will get in the way of you taking the artifact." "Who? Necromancer? β
"I don't know how powerful the necromancer is, I'm talking about the legendary bull, a super genius warrior who has only produced one in a thousand years, and his strength will become a huge obstacle for you."
"It turned out to be him." It seems that Sixu's name is not unfamiliar to monsters.
