Volume 5 The Return of the King 296 The Seal Opens
I'm sure it's not the past that I'm seeing.
What I saw made me nervous.
I felt like I should tell them what I saw...... But when I looked at them, they were more concerned about how the dragonman in front of them would restore the shattered scepter.
I opened my mouth and closed it again, and said it again later...... It doesn't matter.
The dragonman's spells were still gorgeous, and the pair of sand grains actually formed some shapes, as if the concrete images formed by those sand were alive and soulful. As the churning sand gradually fell from the tray to the side, the scepter below was revealed, and the scepter, which had been shattered, had now changed to its original form, and although some flaws could still be seen on it, it was a miracle that it could be reassembled like this.
The dragonman took the scepter in his hand, and he looked up at Vandal for a moment, "It's up to you to open the seal. ”
Vandal shook his head, "Uncover the scars of the past again...... Hmph, could there be anything more cruel than that? ”
"I thought after a thousand years, you should be somewhat relieved." Long said.
"Time makes the scars fade at most, but the scars are always scars and can never be recovered." Vandal said.
"Maybe it's not long enough." Long said lightly.
"No, unless I'm dead." The expression on Vandal's face after taking the scepter was not relaxed.
"Uh......" I reached out to get their attention, but the dragon glanced sideways at me, and Vandal didn't look at me but continued to study the scepter.
"Just now...... Do you see any ...... Thing? ”
I looked at the dragon, and although he had taken on a human form, his eyes were not human at first glance, and the gecko lizard had unique eyes that other animals did not have, and his eyes were exactly the same as those of reptiles. Its eyes stared at me when it heard me, and to be honest, I didn't like it. "What do you see?" Anyway, the voice and tone of his voice don't hate me.
"I ......" I glanced at Vandal, who squinted as well. I looked again at King Sarufar and Gavin Rad on one side.
"Say it!" The dragon's eyes became serious.
"I see the past." I say.
The dragon looked at me and nodded slightly, "My magic just now triggered a time rewind, and it's normal for you to see the past. He said.
"But...... Behind...... What I see...... I don't feel like it's the past. I said.
I saw that Sarufar and Gavin Rad were still looking at me, but the dragonman had already turned away, and I suddenly didn't know whether to say it or not, or did he know he didn't care about what I said? The dragon walked up to Vandal, and they began to whisper, and as soon as the dragon man left, Sarufar's eyes were drawn to him, and when I looked at Gavin Rad, he was clearly not interested.
This scene made me hold back my words.
"Perhaps...... Not that serious...... This is my imagination. I comforted myself.
With the Scepter in place, the Alliance and Horde camps were all mobilized, and now the situation was about to attack. To be honest, the scene at this time is still quite spectacular, and I don't care about the battle situation for the time being, but this posture of marching really makes my blood boil. The flag is unfurled, the army is moving, and the yellow sand is spreading. The Alliance and the Horde are not attacking in mixed formations, the war drums of the Horde are much more imposing than those of the Alliance, and the war drums erected on the huge Kodo herd emit a firm, powerful, rhythmic drum beat, the earth-shattering drums burst, and the loud shouts of the orcs on the way forward give me goosebumps. In the face of the attack of the orcs back then, the sense of oppression of the iron wall is vivid.
On the Alliance's side, there are more banners, and the humans in the queue are much more neat than the orcs, but they are less powerful and domineering.
The kingdom of the Zermen is called Angela, and the wall that seals this kingdom is not far away, and the Wormmen are already waiting for our army to approach. The elven army was at the front, and the shield wall composed of two rows of shield-wielding soldiers walked at the front of the array, and the human army on the flanks had no cavalry, which really worried me.
The bugs are attacking!
I really sweated for them when I looked at the huge scorpions, some beetles that I couldn't even name, and surged towards the elven front like a black tide. The battle array stopped, and by this time the elven shield wall had been erected, and the spears were all facing the direction where the insects were coming. The orcs began to adjust the line and direction from the other side, while Gavin Rad's legion temporarily followed behind the elves' flank, waiting for the next order.
But at this moment, suddenly the sight in front of me made the cold hairs on my back stand up all at once! Broken! I've seen that scene before! And now it's really like that!
The elven shield wall collapsed in one fell swoop!
Because bugs are coming out of the ground!
The bugs that appeared under the feet of the elven army immediately messed up the elven vanguard troops! I screamed! Don't say it just now! Didn't say it just now! Why didn't you say it just now! I saw this scene obviously!
Vandal was the commander-in-chief, and I was by his side now, and the chaos of the elven army formation made him jump all at once. He roared and told the herald to call the shots. The herald's horn blew at once. I don't know what the elves' horns mean, but I can see that the elves are now immediately changing formations, and the neat squares like tofu blocks at the beginning are gradually spreading out.
The sudden sudden situation made the orc formation a little overwhelmed for a moment, they were still adjusting their direction just now, but now they were obviously a little hesitant. The performance of the human and dwarven armies was remarkable, they did not rush to solve the problem of the chaos of the vanguard phalanx, but immediately took the top and prepared the first attack caused by the main force of the insects.
As I expected, the insects rushed straight into the vanguard shield wall phalanx, which was now in chaos and almost collapsed, and the dwarves at this time were about to exert their might, their hand-held artillery and light artillery instantly ignited the soldiers' fighting passion, and the sound of gunpowder bursting on the battlefield intertwined with blood and fire accompanied by the roar of the insects made people's blood gush.
Vandal has seen a big battle, this kind of old guy who has lived for 10,000 years is not shocked by this, he frowned slightly, his eyes scanned the battlefield, and occasionally he gave orders to the heralds around him, and I recalled the image that seemed to be real and illusory, the current situation is good, although the front line was destroyed just now, but it didn't take long for the orcs and humans to crush the pile of insects from the two sides.
These bugs are not intelligent, they only attack, and even in the final stage, not a single bug escapes the battlefield. The battle lasted all afternoon, and the bugs were exterminated before dusk came. There wasn't much billowing black smoke on the battlefield, and the corpses of the bugs were basically burned dry after an afternoon, but the insects that were chopped up and hacked to death on the entire battlefield looked really shocking.
However, our army also suffered some losses, and we were faced not with bugs the size of fingernails, but with bugs the size of a table and a single bed. These things were able to be trampled to death by us when we were younger, but now that they are bigger, it is not the case that you can trample them to death, they are not only big, but the carapace defense on the outside exceeds the armor of our soldiers, and we really ignore their power. The power of insects is great! If it weren't for the orderly battle formation, which was superior to them in intelligence, we might have lost in the end by simply fighting.
As night fell, cleaning the battlefield became the main task, every soldier killed in battle deserved respect, and every wounded soldier had to be taken care of. The commanders met briefly in the evening, exchanging the approximate casualties and discussing plans and precautions for tomorrow's attack. Vandal was still very satisfied with everyone's cooperation today, and he also showed a rare smile to King Sarufar.
The number of bugs killed is uncountable, and everyone's opinion is that there should be no second attack by bugs. After a night of repair, the soldiers got up the next morning again and waited for the order to march, I don't know if it was the reason for yesterday's battle, the weather this morning was not bright at all, the sky was yellow and miserable, and the air was filled with the unique smell of sand and dust.
The army is moving forward slowly, the sealed city wall is not far away, to be honest, today's wind and sand is a bit big, and the visibility is only 100 meters, which makes me really unsure, I said to Vandal that this visibility is very unfavorable to the battle, it is recommended to take it easy, or do not open the seal for the time being.
My suggestion didn't get Vandal's consent, he just postponed the opening of the seal, saying that he could wait until noon to see. In the end, the soldiers stood in the wind and sand all morning. Towards noon, the wind and sand were much lighter, and the visibility was noticeably higher, and with a wave of his horn, Vandal blew up, and the soldiers shook off the sand and dust like awakened statues.
Vandal was carrying the scepter, the dragonman was walking beside Vandal, everyone else was at his post, and I chose to witness this moment in history.
He stopped when he came to what appeared to be a building made of obsidian, which stood like two horns of a cow towering toward the sky, and nothing else. I've seen this thing in a vision, and it's another key to opening the seal, which the dragon said.
"I should ...... How? Vandal looked back at the dragonman.
The dragonman looked at the building, "I know you're going to ask for this seal to be reopened one day, hmph, I'm willing to wait, and I've waited for this moment too." He said and held out his hands toward it.
"I'm glad you're alive." Vandal snorted.
"Even if I die, there will be many people who open this door, my compatriots...... It will also help you. As he spoke, a golden light flashed in his hand, and a golden light flashed between the two stone pillars like horns, and then a curtain of flowing energy remained from the golden light.
"It's called the Wormmen's Gong, but your scepter isn't just for striking." The dragonman gestured in the air with one hand.
At this moment, the image of a beetle appeared on the energy curtain, and when the image of the beetle dissipated, a disc-shaped object appeared in front of him, and the energy continued to flow, and after the energy gradually dissipated, a suspended black disc appeared between the two stone pillars. The whole swarthy, shiny stone plate had a relief statue of a beetle.
"Go ahead." The dragonman lowered his hand and looked at Vandal, "You know what to do. ”
"What to do?" Vandal held the scepter in his hand, but his expression seemed to be genuinely unat the heart of what to do.
"Walk over and you'll see the guide, and then do what you want." The dragonman waved his hand.
Vandal walked up, the suspended black disc was actually quite large, I was a little worried when Vandal stood in front of it, that thing looked a little heavy, if it fell down at once, Vandal would be stoned to death......
Vandal stood in front of the swarthy thing, tens of thousands of troops staring at their commander. I saw him raise the scepter at once, and as soon as he raised the scepter, there was a sudden buzzing sound. The sound was like the sound of a bug flapping its wings. The voice became louder and louder, and the army suddenly became nervous.
Suddenly, the scene that appeared in front of my eyes made me shiver, and I turned my head to look at the dragonman, "Can't open!" I shouted.
The dragon man ignored me, still looking at Vandal. I turned my head to look at Vandall, and some very bad images came to my mind. "Can't open!" I muttered to myself, I wanted to tell Vandal. At this moment, I don't know where I got the courage to run towards Vandal, but at this time, Vandal was like a needle that led to lightning, and a bolt of lightning came out of him, and in an instant the black disc made an extremely clear cracking sound.
"Be careful!" I ran up shouting, and the black disc exploded.
