Chapter 217, Ritual of Fear and Abuse
Zambia is a relatively new country in the country.
Founded after the establishment of the Vale Calendar, the country was originally settled by the humans Jondath across the Meteorite Sea in the south, and initially chose to settle here because of the high-quality wood that could be used to make fine ships.
But of course, the deforestation of humans soon aroused the alarm of the elves, and the two sides began to oppose each other, the elves accused humans of destroying nature and making the land yellow, and humans believed that these elves were not qualified to interfere in the internal affairs of humans, anyway, there are so many forests, what does it matter if they cut a little?
In this way, the humans went their own way, and the contradictions between the two sides became more and more acute, until in 884 A.D., a large-scale conflict finally broke out between the humans and the elves in Zambia.
And rightfully so, humanity failed miserably.
After all, elves are interstellar-level civilizations, and just because they are unwilling to start a war because of their good nature, it doesn't mean that they can't fight.
The defeat in the war caused Jondas to abandon the colony.
However, it was precisely because of the abandonment of the suzerainty that Zambia developed instead, losing the control of the suzerainty and the requirements of a large number of logging, and the people in this region gradually formed the rudiments of the state by farming, grazing and commerce, and the introduction of artisans.
Eventually, in 913 A.D., Sarawir, Duke of Raven, succeeded in uniting the territory east of Cormir and establishing Zambia.
At this time, a large number of ore veins in the northern Moon Sea region were discovered, and the Raven Duke keenly smelled the business opportunity, because the Moon Sea to Zambia needs to pass through the Comanso Great Forest, so the Raven Duke decided to negotiate with the elves, asking the elves to set aside a road for Zambia in the forest, and the route can be chosen by the elves themselves.
After a series of coercion and temptations, coupled with the Raven Duke's threat that "our war will never end", the elves were forced to accept the offer.
As a result, Zambia prospered, and the country began to act as a transit point between the north and the south of the country, and merchants gradually became the ruling class in Zambia, where the government was in the service of commerce, and they usually obeyed the commercial contract, and even if they tore it up, they would pay compensation for breaking it, but only if the commercial contract was sufficiently complete – and the Zambians would not let go of any loopholes and ambiguities in the contract.
Zambians are a sick pursuit of money, making money, doing business, buying luxury goods is the meaning of most Zambians' lives, where government corruption, bribery, and black gold trading are not only not a shame, but even considered openly encouraged and appreciated (but Zambians have a strong respect for the law and are reluctant to do illegal things).
It is an expansive commercial country, and in recent years there have been many disputes with Cormier due to border conflicts, so when the Son of Bane invited the Zambian army to help resolve the "civil unrest", Zambia was happy to go.
Zambians are confident in their military, all of them are well-paid, long-trained professional soldiers, who may not have the same sense of honor as the Purple Dragon Knights, but they are cold-blooded killers.
They are ready.
In the darkness of the night, the merchant ships entered the port, and the Zambian elite under the command of Grand Duke Samaron skillfully rushed into the port dock area, according to the agreement, their attack would be launched in the early hours of the morning, covering the city with dark clouds and darkness to cover everything impenetrable, and the continuous fighting in the city made the burning Susar unable to notice the secret landing of this group of troops.
There were more than fifteen hundred of them, all of them well-trained, and the first to land rushed to the harbor, their heavy military boots creaking on the damp planks.
According to intelligence, the walls of the docks were built on stone foundations, made of hardwood, and were also equipped with guard towers.
In peacetime, Cormier's army was all on the city walls. Hundreds of dock defenders patrolled behind the battlements, and any enemy who tried to break through the gates to the palace would be caught in the killing zone set up by spearmen and archers.
In the slums on the outskirts of Sussar, those narrow streets and alleys, crowded and dilapidated houses constitute a defensive advantage that is difficult to open.
The Navy Pier is centered around a fortress made of shiny black marble, and the terrain is more open. This meant that the attacking side had to withstand the crossfire of the archers on the roof.
However, when the Zambians boarded the pier, they found that there was nothing left here.
There were no people, no goods, no troops, and no alarms.
Nothing.
The Zambians did not understand, and they formed a formation under the leadership of their commanders, cautiously probing their surroundings.
"There is nothing left in the desert." Far away, Aaron stood on top of a small building, and he muttered expressionlessly: "There is nothing in the desert, and there is nothing that no one wants." ”
He's about to start a sacrifice, and even though it will kill thousands, it's not the time to be merciful!
Fingertips touched the ground, and a large Chaos Ritual Circle had already appeared on the ground in the dock area, and a blood-red giant skull rose from the circle!
"What? What is it? The Zambian army watched in bewilderment at the skulls rising in front of them one after another, two meters in diameter, and some even tried to touch them with their hands.
In the next second, the skull exploded on the spot, and the burst of fire and skull fragments directly blew the bodies of these curious people into dust! Immediately after, groups of hordes of hormonal vultimen appeared in the circle!
They had ruby skin—a color that pleased their masters—and they had humanoid bodies, beastly faces, long, slender skulls with horns, and childless eyes that burned with rage—eyes that painfully reminded them of the Lord of War.
They and their muscular limbs were known for their ferocious assault and fierce desire for war—they were unstoppable, and anyone who dared to stand in their way would be torn to pieces by their terrible power.
The blades of hell in the hands of the vamplets immediately drank the flesh and blood of the Zambians, and these uneven iron swords reflected the will of terror, as long as they were injured by the blades of hell, the Zambians' bodies would immediately dry up like deflated balls, and these weapons would cut gold and iron, and immediately blew a hurricane of death on the Zambians!
This is an enemy that the Zambians have never seen at all! The armor was crushed to pieces in the hands of these sadistic demons, and the vamplet's power became stronger with each human blood sipped.
"Steady! Steady! The Zambian commander shouted angrily, he ordered the soldiers to form a formation, this veteran of the battlefield had only fought with the rebel nobles and forest monsters at most, and the enemy in front of him was far beyond his knowledge, and they were desperate to find that the surprise attack that should have fought the stupid Sussars had instead entangled them, and when they saw those three-meter-high armor demons rushing towards them, most of them chose to flee for their lives, and anyone who resisted was immediately killed under the blade of hell.
"Shoot!" A bunch of crossbowmen gathered at the commander's order, they lined up, relying on the physical instincts they had exercised during the long training to pull the trigger on the dreaded vamplets, but each missed attack made the bloodlets' spirits a hundred times greater, and the madness intensified, and the elite guards who followed behind took out the black fire oil from the cabin, and the burning fire finally stopped the group of bloodletters a little.
But before they could recover their strength, new enemies appeared in the circle.
The terrifying steel bull knight riding a burning steel ox, wearing heavy armor and wearing an eight-pillar emblem on his head, has appeared!
As if they were not afraid of pain, the Bull Knights cut through the flames, and the Zambian soldiers who formed the shield wall with their ferocious impact struck them into a panic and fled.
The bloody battle axe in the hand of the Knights of the Steel Bull slashed down all those who tried to stop them, and the fierce Ox stepped on the barricades that had been hastily set up to stop them, and rushed into the ranks of pikemen who were guarding the formation, continuing the assault.
More and more enemies are drawn into the carnage, and the demons who want to win the favor of the Sadists desperately drive their men to the docks, and the Sadist army swoops like herds, tearing them to shreds under Zambian fire.
The fleeing enemies began to trample on each other, tumbling on each other, and the arrows rained down like a waterfall, but they could not shake the brass armor of the steel ox rider. The archers panicked and tried to flee when they saw that their allies were being helplessly slaughtered by the Demon Riders in Armor.
But this is the dock, where can they hide?
Soon, the docklands were covered with blood, and the horrible vending and steel bull knights, who had had enough of the harvest, put away their heads and returned with a full load.
The dock area fell into a deathly silence again, and in the distance, on the sea level of Longhu, a new transport ship appeared.
New heads! New Sacrifices! Fresh blood!
The ritual of the horrific ritual continued, and in the barracks in the docklands, Aaron was also talking to General Powell.
"I'm sorry to excuse me, General Powell, if I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency Mannercohen and His Royal Highness the Duke of Marelli must have greeted you before, and let the Zambians into the capital."
Aaron, Gordon, and Fiorena stood in the general's office and said to the commander of the dock garrison who looked slightly panicked.
"Yes...... That's right...... "General Powell, a middle-aged man about forty years old, looked at Gordon behind Aaron, and thought to himself, Didn't your father inform me of this?"
"You can also see that Susar is burning, just above the banquet just now, it is a recognized fact that His Royal Highness the Duke of Caspar conspired to assassinate Her Royal Highness, and Her Royal Highness has given me full authority to handle all matters in her place."
Aaron took out the precept badge he had taken from Alice Searle and showed it to General Powell: "Now, who should I stand on, don't you say more?" ”
"Now that the evidence that Duke Caspar colluded with the devil to attack the city has been conclusive, please ask General Powell to focus on the overall situation." Aaron pointed to the large ritual circle of terror in the distance outside the window: "All the Zambians who have landed, you just need to guide them to the vicinity of that circle, and the next thing will naturally be handled by those demons for you, all you have to do is watch, guide, and watch." ”
"............" The muscles in General Powell's face twitched constantly.
The duke, the princess, the devil, the devil, the Zambians, who is the murderer? Who brought this disaster to the Pearl of Longhu into flames?
He couldn't make any judgment, but the Duke of Marelli had told him before that he had let the Zambians in.
Just when General Powell hesitated, Gordon, the grandson of Duke Marelli, stood up: "Bovie, I don't blame you for this matter, this is completely grandpa's misjudgment of the form of the kingdom." ”
"Really?" Sure enough, General Powell hesitated, Gordon was the eldest grandson of Duke Marelli, and his words carried too much weight.
"Really, please help." Gordon continued: "Bovey, have you forgotten our friendship? ”
The expression on General Powell's face changed back and forth, and finally nodded slowly: "I...... I know. ”
"Thank you!"
In this way, under the command of Powell, one Zambian foreign army after another landed in the dock area, and under the guidance of the dock defenders, they entered the terrorist and sadistic circle again and again in the dark night.
There is no life left.
…………
In the Dragon Knight Club, Alice Searle was still sitting on the bed, and the regent's eyes were on fire, and she wrapped herself in a quilt and listened to the report of her subordinates.
"Oh no, Your Highness! The Marines are on a sortie! ”
"Your Highness, news from Commander Yuri Bakov, the devil's army is besieging the royal palace!"
"Your Highness, the major churches have responded to our request and sent troops, but they are unwilling to participate in this civil strife, and for the time being, they are still giving priority to eliminating the devil."
"Your Highness, the teleportation spell has failed, Caspar and they have interfered with the teleportation spell, and we can't get reinforcements through teleportation!"
One message after another came in from outside, and Alice Searle calmly issued one order after another.
At this time, the calm and domineering dictatorial side of the regent's military is revealed, she is not frightened by the bad situation in front of her, although she is forced to make enemies of her brother-in-law because of this change, and she is branded by Aaron to lock her soul and body, but the regent always keeps calm.
"Order the palace defenders to activate all the defenses and make sure to hold out for enough time."
"Inform the Mage Academy, inform Van Geda Heist and Charlotte, we need support!"
"Order all the Purple Dragon Knights to be dispatched."
"What is Aaron doing, hasn't he come back yet?"
Alice's calmness also greatly affected everyone in the Dragon Knight Club, and everyone was also conquered by the princess's calm and relaxed look, and gradually calmed down from the panic.
As Alice Serre had predicted, as long as they persevered, as long as they held out until dawn, victory would be theirs!
Aaron's cousin Robert came in, and he knelt in front of Alice Serre: "Your Highness, there is an Anaheim private army gathering outside the city, and according to Aaron's instructions, Doherty the orc has taken his men to solve this problem." ”
"Aaron...... How much are you still hiding from me?! The eyes of the regent princess were like fiery steel knives, so frightened that Robert didn't dare to come out, and under the terrifying dragon power, the cousin couldn't support it at all, so he desperately buckled his head and told the princess Aaron's plan.
"Doherty the orc out of the city from Quentin Bridge? But isn't there to pass through the defense zone of the Purple Dragon Knight? Alice Sell immediately judged the possible outcome: "Yin Hutson will let a group of orcs pass through here in the middle of the night?" ”
"Yes." Robert hurriedly said flatteringly.
"Why?"
"Because the Grand Inspector General received a gift of 500 gold lion coins from Aaron."
“………… Aaron!
! When this is over, you wait to be put in a cage and ravaged by me!
! The princess was furious.
But she couldn't care so much at this time, and after telling Robert to get out, she raised the purple dragon ring on her right hand.
"Mother? Can you hear me? ”
"Something's wrong, brother-in-law...... was bewitched by people and colluded with the devil to rebel. ”
"Please contact His Excellency Kelburn-Blackrod immediately, we need his help."
Queen Mother Phil Farrell sighed softly on the other end of the ring, indicating that she understood, and cut off contact.
Five minutes later, the whole of Susar saw a pillar of light rising from the palace in the dark clouds.
A dragon emblem appeared in the pillar of light.
The kingdom of heaven, the edge of the crystal wall system, the supreme heaven, the place of countless terrifying existences.
A 35-meter-long giant dragon suddenly sensed something, and he turned around, followed by a young dragon about 8 meters long, apparently with a strong connection to him.
Both dragons exude a terrifying formidity, especially the megadragons, whose bodies are covered in scales that shine like tiny diamonds, but the scales of the megadragons are not so dazzling and automatically refract light, while the scales of the younger dragons are more gorgeous and shiny in black purple.
"There seems to be an interesting message, an invitation from the Black Staff." The giant dragon spreads its wings: "Shall you go and see?" Egil? ”
"Didn't you say you were looking for your own treasure?"
"Hmph~That's of course~" The young dragon flicked his tail, his paws circling around the void with great pride: "The weak splash is not worth mentioning in the face of the huge waves, and the enemies who prevent me from Egil from seizing my treasure will all be bitten!" ”
