Chapter 91 Forced Termination
Twenty minutes later, the Burial Array began. ”
The soldier of the Demon Slaying Regiment's face changed suddenly after hearing this, and asked in a bit of a panic, "Commander, the time has not yet come, besides, Master An Lun and General Starmark are still in the tower, don't you wait for them anymore..."
Before the sergeant could finish speaking, he was stopped by the cold glint in Gregor's eyes.
"Do as I say, the bell ringing just now already means that the bell monster is no longer controllable, it is like a clarion call for us to declare war! Now time does not allow us to wait any longer, besides, Master An Lun and General Starmark have already had the consciousness of sacrificing their lives for the country, and their deaths are worthy of respect for the country. ”
Hearing Ge Liege's words, although the soldier of the Demon Slaying Regiment nodded, his face was still very ugly. In fact, he wasn't really worried about Starmark and Anlun, no matter how high their status was, they were just strangers to him. The reason why this sergeant is like this is more because of his comrades who were sent to suppress the Bell Monster rebellion, and still remain in the bell tower to fight!
However, the military order is like a mountain, no matter how unwilling the soldier is, he must obey the orders of Gerege!
Twenty minutes later, with the bell tower as the center, a huge magic array large enough to envelop a third of Elpalan City rose into light. The soldier who had reported to Gregor watched as the troops watched from a hill outside Elparan, and before long the whole of Elpalan would be reduced to ashes, he was powerless to stop it, and could only pray silently for a miracle like the others.
The sound of the mage's chant resounded in the air, and the magic circle that flickered in Elpalane became more and more dazzling. The priests accompanying the army clasped their hands in front of them one by one and prayed in a low voice. These priests are giving their final blessings and prayers to the soldiers in the bell tower who are still fighting, praying that they will enter the arms of God in peace. The low sound of the horn spread far away in the howling north wind, turning into a send-off song.
The sound of the mage, the prayer of the priest, and the sound of the army's horn all converge into an elegy for Elparan's funeral.
Looking at the light of the burial array in the distance, Ge Liege, the leader of the Demon Slaying Regiment, took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Take off your hat and salute!"
"Bang, bang", two neat sounds, the first is the sound of everyone taking off their hats, and the second is the sound of their right hand beating on their hearts. At this moment, all the people on the hill were carrying out their most noble rites in the direction of Elparan, and no one was pretentious, they were all sincerely saluting the warriors in their hearts.
Most of the people's eyes were closed during the salute, not because they were blaspheming their heroes, but because they did not dare to look at them, and could not bear to watch their comrades die. Perhaps in their hearts, they are still looking forward to a miracle in the end...
"Ang~"
Suddenly, a dragon groan sounded in the sky, and everyone was startled for a moment, this dragon groan pried open their closed eyes!
"Roar~"
A high dragon roar fell from the sky, and in the seven-colored sky that was originally reflected by the magic array, a golden light suddenly appeared, this golden light was not thick, but it was like a sharp blade, splitting the entire sky in two.
Whether it was the soldiers of the Demon Slayer on the top of the mountain, or the inhabitants of Elpalan who continued to evacuate into the distance, not knowing that their hometown was about to become ruins, after hearing this dragon roar, they all raised their heads at the same time and looked at the golden light that pierced the sky.
The golden light burst down from the sky, and gradually people saw that the golden light turned into a golden dragon, and the sound of the dragon's groan came from its mouth.
This mighty golden dragon, under everyone's gaze, rushed towards Alparan, rushed towards the bell tower, and rushed to the center of the burial array that was ready to destroy the bell tower and the entire Elparan!
"What's that?" was a question that appeared in everyone's minds at this time, and they were full of doubts about this sudden change. Of course, at this moment, everyone's hearts were full of good hope, although many people did not know that their homeland was about to be destroyed, but since they were allowed to move, everyone would have thought that something very serious must have happened in Elparan. Since it is a change in bad news, people naturally instinctively attribute it to the good side.
This scene was full of doubts and longing in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Gregor, it made him change color, because he had seen this scene before, and for him, it was an unforgettable memory, and it was also a turning point in his life!
No one noticed, but now Greg's arms were trembling slightly, and his fists were clenched tightly, because the whitening phalanges were "clicking". And his gaze was different from the expectation in the eyes of others, it was anger that was difficult to hide.
"Why did you come here!"
The next moment, the golden divine dragon rushed into the burial array that shone with seven colored lights, and after the golden divine dragon rushed in, the originally flickering seven-colored light actually stopped, and the running formation actually stopped at this moment!
"Commander... There seems to be something abnormal in the burial array, if you need to investigate, I would like to take someone there!" A sergeant standing beside Ge Lie Ge immediately saluted and asked, although he looked a little anxious on the surface, anyone who was attentive could hear the excitement in his voice, just when he was bidding farewell to the hero, he was also one of the people who closed his eyes and prayed for a miracle.
The soldier took the initiative to petition to check it out, so that he could delay more time and get the task in the bell tower to be completed. After all, no matter how ruthless Ge Liege was, he would not easily continue to run the magic circle when he led people to investigate, otherwise he would definitely attract discussions, and his prestige in the army would also be greatly affected.
Hearing this, Ge Liege closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the anger in his eyes had completely disappeared, and he turned his head to look at the sergeant who was talking to him, and shook his head slightly. Then, Gregor smiled, although it was only a smile, but the sight of the sergeant made him "chuckle" in his heart, and he had a sense of foreboding. Being able to stand by Ge Liege's side is enough to prove that the soldier has been in the army for a long time, and he is also in a high position in the Demon Slaying Regiment, so he still has to be better than other soldiers in Ge Liege's understanding. The soldier knew that the regimental commander had a habit of something happening whenever he laughed, and this time he clearly felt that although Gregor was just smiling, there seemed to be a demon laughing wildly behind this smile.
"The magic array is already more than halfway through its operation, and it may continue to operate at any time, and now the investigation is too dangerous, you go and order the people of the mage group to come over. ”
"It's the regimental commander!" the sergeant saluted, and immediately turned and disappeared into the crowd. A short time later, an old man in a red mage's robe followed him to the front of Gregory.
The red-robed mage old man saluted slightly like Ge Lie Pavilion and asked, "Is it because of the matter of the magic array that Leader Ge summoned the old man to come?"
Ge Liege bowed slightly, "Do you know why the magic array suddenly stopped?"
The old mage frowned slightly, he was an archmage with a magic power of more than seventy levels, and his status among mages was not low, plus he was old, and most people would be honored when they talked to him, but he didn't expect Ge Lie Ge to talk to him like this. However, there is a problem with the magic array right now, and this is naturally the mage group to bear the witness, so although he is unhappy in his heart, the old mage can only reply: "There was a golden light in the sky just now, and the stagnation of the magic array should be related to this, if the old man's guess is right, it is very likely that a strong man has come and forcibly stopped the operation of the magic array with his cultivation." ”
"Oh, someone forcibly stopped the operation of the magic array?" Hearing this, the smile on Ge Liege's face became more and more weird, and he continued to speak: "Then according to what you see, who is that strong man, is it a human or a demonic beast?"
The old mage looked at Ge Liege's smile and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he avoided his gaze and bowed his head and said, "The old man can't confirm it, it can only prove that it is very powerful, but judging from the fact that he didn't destroy the magic array, but simply stopped, it should be..."
Before the old mage could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ge Liege, who only heard him say loudly: "That's a demonic beast! The reason why he didn't destroy it was just to lure us to investigate, and then trap our people in it little by little." Besides, the burial array was stopped by him, and once our army entered, he would most likely urge it to operate, causing me to wait for the evacuation of the entire army!, old mage, do you think my analysis is reasonable!?"
In the end, Ge Legge no longer seemed to be asking, but was forcing the old mage to agree with his words.
The old mage looked at Ge Lie Pavilion with some astonishment, but what he saw was a pair of eyes full of cruelty, and an invisible pressure enveloped him, making him unable to refute.
Gregory didn't give him much time to think about it, and continued, "Do you have a way to reactivate the magic circle here?"
Under the oppression of Ge Liege, the old mage said in a trance: "There is a way... It's just..."
"Then start it now!" cried out Gregor.
This loud shout frightened the old mage, and he didn't know what to say. And a young male mage squeezed out of the crowd at the right time, he was a disciple of the red-robed mage, and he followed the teacher to increase his experience, just now his own teacher was called, he naturally followed, but he didn't follow the old mage to Ge Liege's side. At this time, seeing that his teacher was shocked by Gregor, he was not angry, and immediately walked out, with dissatisfaction in his voice: "If it is forcibly activated, the Burial Array will become spontaneous, and then it will absorb the surrounding energy to activate, and we will also lose control of the power of the Burial Array, which is likely to lead to the destruction of the entire Elparan, and even the larger place!"
