Chapter 7 The End of the Divine War
Miko clenched his sword and walked forward. The fog around the brood is highly acidic and poisonous, but the power of the Divine Son is very resistant to acid poison.
He made his way through the mist, the blade of his sword began to glow with a dazzling golden light, and the fog was broken through, sweeping a safe field. Under the leadership of Miko, the strong men rushed into the mist. As they went deeper, their horizons widened, and a giant object larger than the brood gradually emerged in the mist.
It was a behemoth with a structure similar to a beehive, but a hundred times larger than a hundred times, with countless holes in its face. At the top, it's a deep black. As soon as he saw the black, Miko suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember for a moment where he had seen this kind of black that was so thick that it seemed to have quality.
The brood didn't move, but the dark black hive opened countless holes, and hundreds of strange and monstrous monsters flew out of it. They have no symmetry or beauty to speak of, they are completely random and distorted, and looking at those forms, one might even wonder how they fly, completely subverting the concept of balance, like a twisted creation that only appears in a nightmare.
As soon as he saw these monsters, Miko suddenly remembered something and let out a scream: "Divine iniquity!!"
A terrible scream resounded through the turbulent place, and before Miko could notice it, two more door-like openings opened at the bottom of the hive, and out came a hideous black-armored samurai, long black hair sticking out from under the helmet, fluttering in the wind, and that deep black actually flowed out of a bright light.
This day was a day of disaster for the ISF forces. First, more than half of the strong men fell in the battle of the pinnacle, and then another hidden god son led all the remaining strong men to attack the turbulent land, and there was no news from it.
The war in the mortal world is at a stalemate. And in the turbulent world after the turbulent time flow, it was as if the primeval demonic beast had awakened from a long slumber and opened its hideous mouth, which made the Church of the God of Courage feel extremely uneasy when it thought about it.
Nearly two months after the start of the war, Richard received news and hurriedly led his followers back to Faro. By the time he appeared, however, the entire Bloodstained Lands had been reclaimed. It can be said that the secular war is over.
Richard did not bring any retinue with him, as all his followers, including Quicksand, were still in the Black Rose Castle. As soon as he got the news, he rushed back to Faro and informed his followers that he would come later.
At that time, there were a total of six emissaries who appeared in front of Richard on the floating island. Although they set off at different times, they stepped out of Norland's portal at the same time. At this point, Richard knew that the Faro plane was in a state of 'lost time'.
Richard immediately found Nolan and held a brief sacrificial ceremony, which seemed to be related to the easy acquisition of the divine grace that was related to the control of the plane, and he eliminated Faro's 'lost time' state at a lower price than expected, and then rushed back to Faro as soon as possible.
At this moment, there were no other strong people around him, so he took Fasqi with him. Now that Richard and Ellijie have officially formed an alliance and have the status of a partner as a double concern, Fasqi has become a person he can trust in his mind.
Richard knew that he didn't have much strength left in Faro, but in fact, it was not small, with Mito and Clark there, it was more than enough to deal with the general situation. Even if something unexpected happens, he can always send someone back to Norland to inform him, and when Richard returns to Faro with the Constructed Knight, he will be able to destroy the enemy immediately. It's just that he never expected that at this time, Farrow would have "lost time".
This is one of the most dangerous traps in crossing the plane, and this is how Raymond was dragged and lost his fighter plane, giving Richard the opportunity to choose the place of the decisive battle. Although the portal was calm as usual, without a trace of abnormal fluctuations in energy, this did not make Richard feel relieved.
When exiting the dimensional portal, the first thing Richard did was to ask for Faro's time. The answer he received immediately made his heart sink, it turned out that more than three months had passed since the messenger left. It's been three months since the Divine War?
A hint of gloom swept over Richard's face, and he stepped out of the beacon of time and looked up at the sky.
It was now nearly dusk, and the clouds were thick and red, burning from west to east, as if they were on fire, and it was a very common sight in the bloodstained land.
Then he soared directly into the air, overlooking the Blue Water Oasis City. In the city, which is nearing the end of the reconstruction and has been completely renewed, the main temple of the three goddesses stands out, and the column-lined cloister-style buildings are completely different from ordinary houses, and the staircase of the gods in front of the temple can be clearly seen from a long distance, and the symbols and sculptures standing high on the top of the temple shine in the light of the setting sun.
The whole city was quiet and peaceful, and Richard was stunned on the spot. Even if he saw a ruin, he would not be as surprised as he is now.
Isn't there a divine war going on? Richard said that he didn't think that Clark or his ability to split his brain would be able to stop the attack of the Multinational Alliance. In the final analysis, none of them are commanders at the level of famous generals, and they do not have the ability to defeat the strong with the weak.
What's going on? The city doesn't look like it's been through war, and it doesn't even have the slightest hint of war preparation.
Richard stared blankly for a long time before he remembered to communicate with the brood.
Fasqi saw that Richard had been in the air motionless for a long time, so he also took to the air. She was first deeply shocked by the prosperity and scale of Oasis City, and then she saw the temple of the three goddesses, and this time she was shocked!
In a short period of time, it was already incredible that Richard was able to develop the advance base to the scale of Oasis City, and he was able to build a temple of the gods of his own plane in the city!
This means that he has either subdued the three goddesses, or completely deceived the three goddesses, and in either case, it is equally shocking. This is a situation that can only be possible in the late stages of dimensional development.
The soldiers guarding the portal had already called the officers on duty, but Clark and Sandru were still with their troops, and Master Mito was said to be seriously injured and recuperated behind closed doors, and the low-level mid-level officer in front of him was obviously not a good person to inquire about the situation.
Richard ignored Fasiqi's shock, made a gesture to signal her to follow, and began to contact the brood while walking briskly towards his small building. However, he called out in his consciousness several times in a row before the brood lazily began to respond.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing, a little trouble and it was sorted out. "The voice of the brood is indescribably lazy, like a well-fed lion. Lee sensed that it just wanted to sleep.
"Little trouble, you mean God War?" Richard asked.
The brood was too lazy to answer, first intermittently transmitting a large amount of information about herself, and so delayed for a full ten minutes, and finally succeeded in distracting Richard, and then said: "It seems to be called God War, and there are many people here anyway." But now they've all been beaten back. I heard that the kingdom of the three goddesses was also defended, and Nei'an should have suffered heavy losses. ”
"How many of them came, did they have a god son or an incarnation? How many strong people did they have? What are our losses?" Richard flipped through the brood's information and asked a series of key questions.
"There were no enemy troops left in the Bloodstained Lands, and we had fought for dozens of kilometers and then retreated. There are roughly tens of thousands of enemies, what are the gods and avatars? The strong ones are a little, but after a few deaths, they all run away. Your ordinary warriors have lost thousands of men, and my combat unit losses have been replenished. ”
The brood's answer made Richard not know what to say for a while.
The Split Brain is in control, and each combat unit is equivalent to an eye of the brood. And with the superior wisdom of the brood, the grasp of numbers is even in Richard, in the past, when analyzing battlefield casualties, it was accurate to single digits, just like this time there was no precise number at all, dozens, thousands, tens of thousands, just like a confused rookie. Even the rookies on the battlefield won't be so confused!
However, before Richard could reprimand the brood, he was attracted by a line in the document. That was divinity, and the divinity reserve of the brood had actually reached three hundred and seventy units! Richard clearly remembered that before he left, the brood had just been promoted to the ninth rank, and the divinity was almost exhausted, and there were not even ten remaining divinities. How did it suddenly become three hundred and seventy?
Richard was delighted and extremely surprised and asked, "Mother Nest, where did so much divinity come from?"
"One day, a strange creature suddenly broke into the turbulent place, was eaten by me, and then there was a lot of divinity. The brood's answer was still vague and made one want to hit the wall.
"What kind of guy?" Richard continued to ask.
The mother's reply became more and more slow, and the words became shorter and shorter, and even repeated several times in a monotonous manner, "A very strange fellow, very strange, master, I am very sleepy, very sleepy, and need to sleep for a while." Sleep was very beneficial for me......"
Before Richard could say anything, the contact from the brood was abruptly cut off. But a moment before the connection was disconnected, Richard suddenly noticed that the divinity of the brood had jumped again, and it had become three hundred and seventy-one!
However, powerful creatures like to sleep when they advance or at certain critical times. Richard was aware of these habits, and it was not the first time that the brood had been asleep, so he reluctantly suppressed his curiosity and began to try to find someone else to ask what had happened in the last three months.
The followers who had a soul connection with Richard were all in Norland, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while, and for the first time felt empty in his heart. In the past, he could always sense the affection and location of many followers, but now that the brood had fallen asleep, Richard's soul suddenly became so empty that he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.
