Chapter Seventy-Seven: Return to the Barracks
In the distance, at the edge of the forest, two jackals also snuggle up together to keep warm, trying to drive away the cold of the winter night. It seems that all the animals in the forest are normal and there are no corpses. Now, it seems that only Ace's performance is the most abnormal.
"What the hell is going on?" Alexander was still in shock and horror just now. He has a close relationship with Ace. I don't know if it's because of the cold wind at night, or if it's because he just wants to be close to someone else to prove that he's not alone at this point.
Ace's face was also dazed and shocked: "I don't know, but I'm sure we're definitely not dreaming!" Because dreams can't be so real, I still remember the disgusting smell of bloody gas. ”
At this time, Ace mentions that when Alexander recalls how he felt at the time, his stomach suddenly rolled up.
"Gross!" Alexander couldn't hold back any longer. He immediately ran away and vomited.
When such a terrible and strange thing happened, Ace naturally did not dare to continue to experience it in this forest. He decided to return to the barracks outside the imperial capital as soon as possible and tell the Imperial army what was going on here. Perhaps the well-informed great magicians can give them an answer.
Ace initially suggested that Alexander return to the Yama Empire, but Alexander did not dare to go alone after seeing the terrifying monster.
In addition, Alexander is also a road idiot. As a result, Ace eventually had to let him follow him for a while and then find a way to get him back to the Yama Empire.
At this point, Ace just wants to get back to the Imperial capital as soon as possible and tell the Empire about strange things here so that more powerful magicians can deal with them.
At first, both Ace and Alexander were in a state of shock. After all, this is the first time they've experienced something so strange, so it's only natural for them to be afraid.
However, after a day's rest, the two gradually regained consciousness and began to talk.
"Ace, it is said that Sun City is the greatest city on the Mandala continent. Is this true? Is it bigger than Sunset City in the Yama Empire? Alexander asked curiously.
Ace couldn't help frowning: "I thought so before I went to the imperial capital. But the longer I live in the imperial capital, the more I don't like it. ”
"Why? Isn't Sun City fun? I heard that there are many high-rise buildings of different styles, countless sacred churches, the largest arena in the Mandala Continent, and thousands of large and small bars, which are very luxurious. Oh, almost forgot! There is also a prestigious magic academy! It's just not too good. ”
As Alexander spoke, he stroked his chin with one hand, as if imagining a city that would never be broken!
Ace just smiled calmly: "These things are there, but behind them, there are more and more true stories, and human nature is becoming more and more terrifying." ”
"Humanity?" Didn't Alexander understand that the greatness of a city had to do with human nature?
After a moment of silence, Ace asked, "Alexander, can you tell me your true identity?" I've always found your status in Alexander's empire to be unusual. ”
Alexander pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I don't want to say it yet, but don't worry, one day I'll tell you." But until then, please don't blame me for my concealment. ”
Ace nodded: "I'm just curious. Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. ”
"Thank you for your understanding." Alexander said this, and then fell silent again. He looked up at the gray sky, as if thinking of something annoying, and his eyebrows furrowed.
Along the way, they passed through several small cities of the New Delhi Empire. Alexander is curious about everything here and wants to stay for two days before leaving, but Ace refuses.
The reason is simple. Ace now just wants to get back to the Imperial Barracks as soon as possible.
After a four-day trek, Ace and Alexander finally reached a high slope outside the imperial capital.
"Wow!" Alexander looked at the big city in the distance and was surprised. He thought that Sunset City in Yama's Legend was very grand, but now that he saw the legendary Sun City, he realized that his vision was not broad enough.
"It's too big, it's too big!" Alexander couldn't help but exclaim.
Ace looked at him with a smile, recalling his reaction when he first saw Sun City a few months ago. It seems that it is no different from Alexander.
"Okay, let's go. I will report to the senior officers of the regiment. Ace said, and took Alexander to the barracks outside the imperial capital.
After more than an hour, they finally arrived at the huge barracks with thousands of military tents.
When seeing the countless military reports in front of him, Alexander could not but exclaim: "I finally know why the New Delhi Empire became the most powerful country on the continent of Mandala. ”
When he saw the countless wounded soldiers in the camp, Alexander couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What's wrong with them?" Why are they all hurt? ”
Ace explained gently, "I didn't tell you that there was something wrong with the Demon Beast Mountain Range before. The warriors of these legions have just returned from the Mountain of Warcraft. ”
Alexander saw countless groaning warriors in the barracks at this time, and then gradually realized the severity of the disaster in the Warcraft Mountain Range.
Soon, Ace finds Al Slime, who is assigned the task of a military account.
"Great Mage, I have something very important to report to you." Ace said solemnly.
Al gave several orders to her subordinates. When her subordinates came out of the barracks, she asked, "What's wrong?" Please let me know as soon as possible. I'm going to have an emergency meeting soon, so please hurry. ”
Ace immediately told her everything she had seen and heard in the mysterious forest the other day, mainly about the triangular monster. As for the Earth Storm Bear and the Fire Mage, Ace didn't mention anything.
After listening to Ace's story, Ayr's face became visibly gloomy: "Are you saying that the monster said that the will of the Lord of the Abyss has awakened?" ”
Ace nodded. "Yes, that's what the monster said."
Al's face changed, because it wasn't the first time she'd heard this.
Recently, Imperial troops traveled to the forests, swamps, and wastelands throughout the Empire to kill those high-level Warcraft that had escaped from the Warcraft Mountains. During this time, the two armies encountered extremely powerful mystical creatures in different places. Two different monsters said the same thing.
This time it was Ace's, and Al heard it for the third time.
"Okay, Ace, I see. You're tired on the road. Go back and rest for a while. We'll meet at the camp tomorrow morning, and we're going to go to the Warcraft Mountains. Aier said.
"Tomorrow morning? Isn't it more than ten days before departure? "Ace didn't expect to leave so much earlier.
Aier did not say anything: "The situation in the Warcraft Mountains is deteriorating. If we don't strengthen external protection, it is estimated that more mid-to-high-level demonic beasts will escape from it! ”
