Twelve: Twelve, Vol. 14, Twilight

readx;

When the sunset is about to sink into the distant mountains, it can reveal its full view in the dense clouds for a moment. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It seemed to be about to give vent to the pent-up enthusiasm of the day in this short moment, and in an instant the gray sky turned into a sea of burning clouds. The golden-red light streaks flowed like waves, and the heavens and the earth suddenly brightened a little.

Mount Auburn under the fire clouds was decorated in two colors, blue and black, and snow-white, and instead put on a red coat. The red color comes not only from the contribution of the burning sea of clouds in the sky, but also from the large expanse of dark red ice on the mountain, which regularly divides into three or four roads and winds down from the top of the mountain, and at a glance, it seems to be a solidified red stream.

Under the sea of clouds, the long trumpets sounded in the sky, and the members of the Silver Holy Cult slowly retreated from Auburn Mountain, supporting each other, among which hundreds of bodies were dragged, the remains of their parishioners.

But the corpses that had heroically fallen behind the Eye of Wisdom could not be recovered.

Today, the followers of the Holy Sect have achieved their best results since the attack on the mountain. In the afternoon, they once rushed through the defense line of the Eye of Wisdom, and the warriors at the front could even see the back of the holy woman praying on the altar! The Cult Mages guarded the altar, but Mora remained motionless, ignoring the sword and blood that was already close at hand, and at this time there were less than five hundred followers of the Eye of Wisdom who could still hold their ground.

Sudden change.

The halo of light that had always enveloped Mora's entire body quickly spread outward, spreading to the entire altar in the blink of an eye, and the soft light radiated a hundred paces, illuminating the battlefield. The spirit of the Crazy Faith Mage was greatly lifted, and the spell casting gesture, which was already a little sluggish, suddenly became flexible, and the believers of the Eye of Wisdom were even more courageous, and their belief in the goddess occupied all their bodies and minds, shouting and rushing towards the Holy Cultists. Their enemies felt the exact opposite, and negative emotions such as fear, confusion, and vacillation spread like a plague, and the tide of battle was reversed, and the Holy Sect had to call out its troops.

Hundreds of cooking smoke had risen at the foot of the mountain, and dinner would soon be ready to replenish the energy of the fanatical cultists. At the foot of Auburn Mountain, several ice mages and warriors who were much more ornate than the others pointed at the top of Auburn Mountain. One of them, an old man wearing a high crown and an ivory robe, was the highest-ranking archpriest in the southern part of the entire empire, and he was also the leader of the moment. Several samurai leaders beside him were explaining in detail the plans for tomorrow's attack.

Auburn Hills is extremely steep, with only a few narrow passages that allow people to go up and down. The reason why Mora chose this place in the first place was not because of what kind of holy place Auburn Mountains, but because of its danger, perhaps within a radius of thousands of miles, Auburn Mountains is the easiest place to defend and difficult to attack.

In just a few days, tens of thousands of followers of the Silver Holy Sect gathered at the foot of Auburn Mountain. They attacked the mountain day after night, but there was no room for maneuver on the narrow mountain road, and the battle place between the two sides could only accommodate a maximum of twenty or thirty men fighting at the same time. Often, after the dozens of people at the front were killed, the believers in the rear would be blocked by the corpses of the parishioners, and it would take a lot of effort to climb in front of the Wisdom Eye believers' fortifications. In this way, the followers of the Wisdom Eye and the fanatical mages, who are dozens of times smaller than the Holy Sect, can always get precious respite and persevere.

If the support is really outdated, the Wisdom Eye Cultists will launch the giant crossbow that will only be used when defending the city, and at such a close distance, the power of the giant crossbow with one arrow is enough to pierce several people in a row and be inexhaustible, giving the Holy Cultists a great blow. Fortunately, this very destructive weapon, the Eye of Wisdom is not much left.

After the discussion of several ice and snow mages, priests and snow palace warriors, they decided to change their tactics and divide the Holy Sect believers who could fight into dozens of echelons, and attack continuously in order to exhaust the physical strength of the people on the top of the mountain. This tactic negates the advantage of the Eye of Wisdom on the natural hazards.

In the eyes of the samurai leaders of the Snow Palace, who knew how to do military affairs, time was not an issue. The cold and lack of rest will gradually deplete the Wisdom Eye cultists' physical strength, and the magic of the Cult Mages will decrease day by day. The Cultists in rotation not only had enough food, but could also sleep peacefully to regain their strength. The longer the time drags on, the closer victory will be to them.

In the eyes of the old priest, the lives of the imprisoned believers were not a problem. Now the number of Holy Religious believers who have died on Auburn Hill has already been dozens of times that of the believers imprisoned on the top of the mountain. His only concern was the lives of the Wise Eye, the Virgin Mora, and dozens of fanatical mages. Everyone knows that at least half of the rise of the Eye of Wisdom is due to the incredible power of drumming and the extremely rare power of natural seduction.

If he could, he would trade a thousand followers for the life of a fanatical mage. And if sacrificing 100,000 followers in exchange for Mora's destruction, he would have been willing. Anyway, there are many people in the empire, and believers can continue to recruit even if they die.

As time passed, the offensive and defensive battles of Auburn Hills became fierce. In order to carry enough offensive and defensive supplies up the mountain, the followers of the Eye of Wisdom did not bring enough rations, and in order to resist the cold on the top of the mountain and replenish the physical strength consumed, both the believers and the fanatical mages ate a lot more. But all this was solved long before the mountain.

Mora still prayed all the time, the light pouring from her gently channeling the magic of the cult mages, banishing them from their physical weariness. She could clearly feel the state of each of the surviving believers, knowing that their bodies were on the verge of collapse, even though their will was still extremely strong.

Mora knew where the food came from, and acquiesced to the solution, and for her, as long as she could hold out until the day of the sacrifice, any means were sacred.

In fact, the followers of the Eye of Wisdom only brought less than three days of food, because every corpse of an enemy could be seen as food!

In addition, the corpses of the Holy Cult followers were piled together and poured with ice water, and it didn't take long for them to become an extremely strong fortress. And on the way up the mountain, the blood of the dead and wounded was thrown all the way down the mountain. In this season of splashing water into ice, the blood water is covered with a layer of water, and it has long congealed into a thick trapezoidal layer of ice.

The smooth ice has undoubtedly caused great difficulties for the followers of the Holy Religion to attack the mountain. Despite this, in front of the absolute balance of power, under the wheel tactics of the Holy Sect, the number of believers in the Eye of Wisdom is still decreasing day by day.

Tomorrow is the time for the sacrifice.

As the morning light lit up Mount Auburn, Mora finally ended her long prayer and slowly stood up. The surviving dozen or so Cult Mages and more than 300 believers immediately gathered together, their bodies with injuries of varying severity, but their eyes were full of light and hope!

At this time, the rest of the Silver Holy Sect has also come to an end, and the next step should be to attack the mountain with all its might.

The old priest, surrounded by the believers, came to the foot of Auburn Mountain. With the Goddess of Ice and Snow in his hand, he swung it vigorously towards the top of the mountain, and roared hoarsely: "Kill the demon girl and the evil mad mage!"

"For the goddess!" In the midst of a loud wave, groups of believers began to climb Auburn Hill with determination.

The old priest let out another morale-boosting roar. "Go and save our brothers!

However, the real voice in his heart was: "Those dozens of unlucky ghosts will definitely not be saved." ”

Looking up at the milky white halo that was still easily recognizable even at the top of the 100-meter mountain, the old priest remembered all the rumors about the Holy Maiden of the Eye of Wisdom, and suddenly felt a little dry mouth. Maybe it would be a good idea to capture her alive. But reason also told him that it was not realistic at all.

The old priest stroked his long snow-white beard, which represented majesty and seniority, and another thought came to his mind, after the end of this religious war, the Holy Religion could no longer rest on its laurels, and it was time to select a few holy women for the Ice and Snow Goddess Throne.

Several other Snow Palace warrior leaders and ice mages also looked up at the same place as the Grand Priest at the top of Auburn Mountain. The thought that the legendary saintess would eventually fall under the intertwined swords made me feel a deep sense of reluctance in my heart at the same time. I just hope that when she dies, her face will not be scratched, and she can still see her face. Several men thought so.

The attack began, and the cultists poured to the top of the mountain. When the slaughter on Auburn Hill was in full swing, it seemed that the war had angered some god, and the earth trembled slightly. A snow palace warrior suddenly turned around, and his face immediately changed!

The distant horizon kicked up white smoke and dust rolling towards Auburn Mountain, which was filled with ice chips from the snowfields trampled by countless iron hooves. A moment later, several leaders of the Silver Holy Sect had already seen that there were thousands of iron horsemen coming with the smoke and dust!

Behind the cavalry, followed by countless infantry. There was no mark on the banner of this murderous army, and it was not clear where it belonged for the time being, but judging from the posture of its march, it was a well-trained regular army, and an ominous premonition rose in the hearts of all the people of the Silver Holy Sect.

The general who led the army was light, and it was the Bauhinia butterfly. As soon as she raised her hand, the army of nearly 20,000 Principalities of Arei stopped and lined up behind her.

Facing the 100,000 Saint Sect believers at the foot of Auburn Mountain, the Bauhinia Butterfly choked and drew her sword, swung it forward, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking! No prisoners of war will be left!"

The northern ice fields and mountain passes are also engaged in life-and-death battles. Tens of thousands of followers of the Silver Holy Cult stepped into the valley singing hymns and pounced on the insignificant thousand Wisdom Eye believers who dared to stop them!

At the end of the canyon, there was a slope of sloping earth tens of meters long, covered with a thick layer of smooth ice, and those Holy Sect disciples who did not know martial arts but were only physically strong could not gain a foothold on the slope at all. This slope is not a natural formation, but is forcibly lifted from the ground by the power of amazing magic. There was still a strong magical aura left on the slope, but the heavy smell of necromancy in the magical aura was unbearable.

However, there are many followers of the Silver Holy Sect, and these fanatical followers are like marching ants in the primeval forests of the south, pushing the ones in front of them, and squeezing up the ice-covered dirt slopes step by step. If the person in front of them doesn't move, they push hard behind them, and if they can't push, they crawl over the heads of their companions!

At the top of the hillside, there was a platform several meters high, and the tall Tikton leader Zagur led the Tikton warriors to stand on the platform, building a steel barrier. They held special giant steel shields and pushed them outwards with all their might, and with each push, several members of the Silver Holy Sect fell from the high platform. After pushing, the Tekton warrior's great axe would then whistle down, easily slicing open the bodies of the Cultists who were still clinging to the giant shield.

Not long after the start of the war, the front half of Zagul's body had completely turned red. There were more than a dozen steel battle axes stuck in the ground behind him, and when they were cut and bent, Zagul threw the axe at the crowd in front of him, and some unlucky Saint Cult believer would be smashed to the ground and fall to the ground. Then he will draw a new tomahawk with his backhand and fight again. The huge battle axe, which shone with cyan light, roared and swirled, taking a few lives with each attack.

Behind the Tikton warriors stood the elves of the Dark Side of the Moon, pouring arrows into the Silver Cult at incredible speed. The tips of the sharp arrows are shining with a faint blue light, and they are all fed with poison. Such an arrow does not need to be aimed, as long as it cuts a wound, it will reap a life.

Floya floated in the sky, her graceful gestures of casting spells, as if dancing, spells, gestures, scrolls, and the power of the Thunder Hell Ring was exerted to the extreme. The lightning shimmered between those hands, and countless lightning magic of all kinds poured down on the Ice and Snow Mages of the Silver Holy Sect like a storm.

Lightning-type magic is fast, lethal and strong, and the little goblin has no high-level props that increase the magic attack and demon defense, and she is ruthless, she is definitely a model of chasing and fighting, and killing everything, so since the start of the war, there have been three ice and snow mages who have fallen under her magic. The third Ice Mage was still hiding among the believers, and he just secretly released an ice ball to her. As a result, before the puck could touch Floya's shield, he had been scorched by four lightning strikes from the goblin in succession.

Floya's position occupies the commanding heights, and in addition to focusing on dealing with the Ice Mages of the Holy Sect, her other task is to take into account the entire battlefield situation and give magical support at the right time. After watching her deal with the discovered Ice Mage, she would fly up and down like a colorful butterfly, constantly throwing a vial full of magic potions, and a large poisonous fog would envelop dozens of Holy Cult believers. Occasionally, she would summon a wall of fire to block the Cultists' footsteps and allow the Tikton warriors on the high platform to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, when a precious magic scroll burned out in her hand, the gate of purgatory, made of blood-stained white bones, roared from the ground, and the demon spewing green flames leaped out of the gate!

It wondered how many victims there were.

What a killing devastation this must have been!The demon's body began to tremble with excitement.

At that moment, Floya suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves and rolling wheels very clearly. On this battlefield with a shocking sound of killing, the sound of hooves and cars that was not so loud could somehow penetrate the waves and reach her ears.

With the sensitivity of a magician, Floya immediately noticed that the sound was coming from an anomaly, and immediately rose in height and looked into the distance alertly.

At the end of the ice field, a four-horse carriage was driving wildly, and the emblem of the ice and snow goddess on the carriage reflected the light of the ice field, which was extremely dazzling.

Inexplicably, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated!

Floya began to chant, wild thunder and lightning pouring out of her hands, but the power of magic restrained them between those hands. Finally, when those violent thunderbolts accumulated to the critical point where they had to explode, Floya waved her hands, and three dazzling blue balls of electricity were connected by lightning chains, surrounded each other, spun at high speed, and flew straight towards the strange carriage.

The three electric balls that were connected quietly sank into the carriage. The gorgeous carriage instantly turned into a transparent blue, and it was as gorgeous as the ride of the gods!

But the splendor was always short-lived, the beautiful blue faded in an instant, and the carriage exploded silently into a cloud of charred powder.

But there was no one in the carriage!

When Floya was startled, suddenly there seemed to be a wind passing by her. The strange feeling was fleeting, and she looked around, but she didn't notice it anymore. At this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the Ticton warriors below were in a bitter battle again, and the corner of the formation was about to be rushed away by the crazy Holy Cultists, she didn't think much else, she immediately took out a small amber bottle filled with dark green liquid, and threw it downwards with all her might.

A green poisonous cloud bloomed again among the followers of the Silver Holy Cult. In the tumbling poisonous clouds, the Holy Sect believers fell one after another, and their pilgrimage had come to an end.

In the north, there was a sudden ripple in the sky, and a brilliant and gorgeous floating city slowly emerged from the void. It hovered, slowly turning at an angle that was tiny for its sheer size, and began to fly along the shoreline of the icy ocean.

Below the floating city, the thick layers of ice shattered one after another under the invisible huge pressure, and the demonic beasts with a slight spirit surname had already avoided them.

In the center of the main hall of Fengyue, there was an additional magic well with a diameter of ten meters at some point. There was a very light mist drifting in the well, and clouds seemed to flow like a veil. Looking down through the clouds, there was a shrunken Northland Ice Ocean.

This magic well is like a window to another dimension, presenting not a flat image, but a complete miniature world.

In the world of the well, you can see that there are countless colors circulating, drifting, and changing.

Next to the magic well, there are Fengyue, Wella and Macbeth, respectively, and they are in full swing.

Macbeth, still a golden figure with no sense of disembodied at all, pointed to the magic well and said, "Although the hiding place of the Ice Goddess is hidden, judging from the fluctuations of her divine power when she issued the oracle, and the concentration of the power of her followers' faith, her essence or at least part of the godhead should be located in this area. ”

As Macbeth's spirit fluctuated, the world in the well changed accordingly, the ground was pulled closer, everything on it gradually magnified, and a cliff hanging over the ice and ocean gradually became clear. In the world in the well, there were countless bright white light bands that couldn't help but converge from all directions, turning into countless small seven-colored points of light around the cliff, and slowly falling.

The cliff became bigger and bigger, and at this time it could be seen that it was actually a huge piece of ice that had been frozen for thousands of years! Judging from the surrounding terrain, this cliff formed by the condensation of huge ice was actually thousands of meters high!

An indescribable chill suddenly swept through the souls of the three people in the main hall, followed by a sharp and angry cry that sounded like two pieces of ice were rubbing against each other.

The scenery in the magic well suddenly jumped, and then three clouds of cold air seeped out, attacking Fengyue, Wella, and Macbeth respectively!

Macbeth's pale golden body thinned out, allowing the chill to pass through his body and float onto a thick stone pillar behind him. The stone pillar suddenly lost its luster, and the middle section suddenly turned into countless powders that were so fine that they couldn't be distinguished, and they dissipated in the wind that was slightly blowing in the main hall.

Wella's lips opened slightly, blowing a gust of wind that could almost destroy everything, easily dispersing the cold air mass that was blowing in her face.

And Fengyue just stared at the cliff. The closer the cold air mass came to her, the thinner it became, and in the end, it dispersed on its own.

Macbeth muttered, "There can be no mistake! It seems that most of the goddess of ice and snow is hiding in this cliff. It seemed that she had just accumulated enough faith power to wake up from her slumber. By God's standards, she is now very weak and has little divine power. I don't know what has happened before to put a god to sleep in this plane. ”

He looked up at Wella and asked, "Lord Audreyhe, could you use the Insight Realm to find out why the Ice Goddess fell into a deep sleep? ”

Wella frowned and said, "What I have is only the lowest-level godhead, and compared to the Ice and Snow Goddess, it is much worse in terms of godhead. So insights are not available. ”

Macbeth stared at the cliff and said slowly: "It's okay if you can't see it. We still have a chance. What do you think?"

Feng Yue said lightly: "She is very weak. So we can get started. ”

The floating city shone brightly and accelerated into the distance.

In the main hall, Macbeth has long since left, and Fengyue is still watching the changing scenery in the magic well. The mountains and hills, rivers and fields that flashed by made her silver eyes flicker and darken, but there was no specific scene that could stay in Fengyue's eyes.

Wei Na looked at Feng Yue's gaze, suddenly sighed, and said, "It's about to be a war with a true god." ”

Feng Yue said lightly: "We will win eventually, but we don't know who will be destroyed in the war." ”

Wella wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything. She was silent for a moment, and finally said softly, "Fengyue, no one knows what will happen in the war between the gods. I...... Go and call him in. ”

Fengyue's black hair suddenly fluttered slightly.

She fell silent suddenly.

Wella quietly left the main hall, and a moment later, Rog walked in like walking on thin ice, surrounded by a silver light like substance. After a few painful experiences of meeting the goddess, the fat man really didn't dare to be on guard. However, this time, there was no raging energy storm in the main hall, nor was there a strong holy light that could scorch the eyes.

He saw silver eyes, saw black hair, and saw the goddess floating in the air.

Fengyue slowly fell to the ground, and walked towards him step by step.

The four eyes met, and there was a bang in Rogge's mind, and for a while, countless memory fragments flashed out from the deepest part of his consciousness, spliced together in a disorderly manner, and immediately burst out like lightning and flew in all directions, weaving extremely chaotic pictures. Rogge couldn't discern the true meaning of the chaotic thoughts in his mind, but the only thing he could confirm was that he had no fear in the face of the goddess who was coming, only a heart beating wildly, and the expectation that seemed to be there!

Behind those ancient silver eyes, there seemed to be too many things hidden. Rogge tried to see through, but all he saw was a glossy silver glow.

"Rogge. Fengyue suddenly called.

Rogge replied, "What do you command?"

Feng Yue's lips opened slightly, closed them again, and finally squeezed out a cold sentence: "For a while...... Be careful. ”

Rogge's heart warmed and he smiled: "Don't worry, I don't die so easily." ”

The light in Fengyue's eyes suddenly jumped a few times, and she wanted to say something, but she never heard even a syllable.

She finally waved her hand.

Rog turned and walked away, each step, the heavy footsteps beating at the two stirring souls.

The door to the main hall slammed shut behind Rogge's back.

"When this war is over, I should come and look for Odrech more! The distance between gods and humans is not that far, is it?......" Rogge suddenly thought to him. He smiled suddenly, feeling as if a whole new world had opened up in front of him, and quickened his pace of departure.

"When this war is over, I ...... It's the real god......" Fengyue looked at the closed door of the main hall in a daze.

A drop of water might as well come from nowhere, fall to the ground, splash into broken jade that cannot be caught, and finally dissipate into the void, not knowing where it returns.

This is the first drop.

Will this be the last drop?
