For this night, for many people, it was difficult to sleep.
In fact, when a huge roar came from a distance and broke the night’s sleep, many people were panicked. They even ran out of the house in a hurry and looked around to see what happened What happened. Then they saw the endless river of light floating in the sky.
For a time, the entire outer area of the Twilight Forest became panicked.
Ordinary people certainly don't know what it is, but as long as individuals can see the anomaly in front of them, they immediately turned around without hesitation, ran home and picked up their loved ones, trying to move to a safe place. The deafening roar that followed, and the trembling ground even scared many people away. They didn’t even have time to bring their belongings and turned around and wanted to escape desperately, although they didn’t know it, Where should I go?
Those nobles are not much better. Although they are far more knowledgeable than ordinary people, they are even more terrified because of this. Even if I don't know what this spell is, it can be seen from its scale and hugeness that this is a huge peak spell.
Although this is enough to be a rare spectacle in a century, for the nobles, they would rather not wait for such a thousand years. Unlike ordinary people who are inexplicably scared, these nobles have read and read books, and as the most educated class in the kingdom, they certainly understand what this means.
As we all know, Mana is the source of all life in this world, and the continuation of all life depends on its existence. So in Manado, life is strong. The places where Mana is scarce are mostly deserts or Gobi deserts. However, magic and magic technology also require Mana’s drive. Although they don’t seem to need much, after all, Mana is not much, most of the time, it can be said that there are many monks and porridge. Causes devastating effects. Therefore, most of the machinery and mages that require a lot of Mana are concentrated around the source that can exert Mana's power indefinitely.
And now, such a peak spell is suddenly cast here. Many nobles were not surprised at the first time that there is a wizard who can release such powerful magic, but they feel very bad-such powerful magic will inevitably A lot of Mana is consumed, and there is no source here, so will this area be completely destroyed?
This is what the nobles really care about. It is important to know that the areas where Mana's power is thin can not be said to be inhabitable. The water source will be cut off, the land will not be able to grow crops, people will suffer from terrible and incurable diseases, and even the livestock will be killed one by one, gradually turning this place into a place of death.
So, in the first place, these nobles thought not to escape, but to send people to observe immediately to see if there is still water in the well, to see if the trees are still alive, after all, such a powerful magic, its place The impact is also very clear. Once there was evidence that the Mana in this area was about to dry up, then these nobles had to leave this terrible place immediately to find a new residence.
But fortunately, everything seems to be the same. Even the information from those who risked being approached near the twilight forest, there is no report of a large number of dead trees in the twilight forest, which made many nobles relieved. It seems that although I do not know what the situation is, it is clear that Mana does not seem to be exhausted, otherwise, the Twilight Forest as the central point will definitely be the most strongly affected. But now it seems... everything seems normal?
Just fine.
People are like this, as long as there is no danger in front of them, then they will not care about possible future crises, as if even observatories around the world vowed that an asteroid would crash into the earth in 150 years, but people They will not panic because of this-after all, they can't live for as long as 150 years.
So, after temporarily letting go of their hearts, the aristocratic nature of the gossip mentality came up again, and they immediately began to send manpower to investigate what happened. Although this is said, many people have vaguely had a bad hunch deep in their hearts. After all, all the nobility were also known when the West V was under the command of the driver, some of them were not in line with the king. The aristocrats who were afraid of private enmity in the other party's communique naturally sent follow-up investigations early, and they all knew that the place where the magic of the peak was cast was not far from the king's army. Is it...
Thinking of this, these nobles could not help but shivered, wouldn't they? Is it...
Duke Barron stood by the window, looking low and helplessly out of the window. It was already early in the morning, but he had not slept all night. After being relieved of his command, he was put under house arrest in the city's hotel by the West Vs. Therefore, he has not been able to stay in the army. Even so, Barron still felt a little nervous and uneasy. He didn’t believe in Celtic’s words, and he didn’t think he would be treated by His Majesty the King. However, there was a sense of unrest that could not be suppressed. It has been spreading deep in his heart. This uneasiness even gradually evolved into some unknown fear, and even made Barron breathless.
What happened outside?
Barron also wanted to know now that, like everyone else, he also saw the dazzling flash, the roaring loud noise, the trembling of the earth, even the wooden hotel was a little shaky, but Barron still kept it. Calm, he just put his hands behind his back, staring calmly at the blurry shadow from the window.
Although he also wanted to send someone to check it out, but he does not have this power now, Wester V has no great wisdom, and he still plays a lot with caution. This time, he was responsible for guarding Barron, because he was a close guard, so Barron had no way to mobilize them. Of course, with his strength, he can still escape, but for Barron, it is naked betrayal.
While Barron sighed helplessly, there was a chaotic footsteps outside the door, and then the door of the guest room was pushed open.
"Sir Barron! Sister Barron!"
The soldiers who were originally responsible for guarding Barron rushed in at this moment. They looked pale and twisted, and they were not panic-stricken. This surprised Barron a little bit, to know that these soldiers are not the recruits, but the experienced elite. It can be said that in front of them, it is difficult to touch these people, but now, they are like Children two or three years old turned blue.
"What happened! Calm down! Cheer up, but you are the soldiers of West!"
"No, it's all gone, it's over... Master, it's over, we're over, over, everything is over..."
Although Barron raised his face and roared, these soldiers did not mean to cheer up. They had lost their souls, and they didn't even know what they were talking about.
"Master, let's go, please, sir, let's go, we have to go..."
"What the happened! Say!!!"
Barron grabbed a soldier who had collapsed under his feet, then roared and asked again. This time, the soldier seemed to be finally better. He sobbed, wiped tears from his face, and then grabbed General Barron's hand.
"Adult, you can watch it yourself, you can watch it yourself!!!"
Although he was quite surprised by the almost bizarre changes of these soldiers, Barron did not waste time. He immediately followed the soldier and left the hotel. At this time, the street was already full of people. They were black and white. Saying something whispering. But Barron was completely in no mood to look at these. He pushed away these civilians rudely, and then hurried out of the city gate.
Then Barron stood in the distance.
Right in front of him, the ground not far away had completely changed its appearance, dark, and the mud piled up in contrast to the gray frozen soil at the foot of Barron. At a glance, it was as if the skin of this earth had been torn apart by a huge wound, exposing the black muscles inside.
However, this is not the most important.
The most important thing is the army?
Barron looked around. What about Wang Jun? Where are those 30,000 Wang Jun? ! ! Where are the 30,000 West's most elite royal soldiers now? !
Thinking of this, Barron shuddered, and then he pushed away the soldier who led the way in front of him, and ran towards the overturned ground.
What about people? Where is Wang Jun? What the is going on? Did a fight happen?
Barron went all the way along with this dark scar. Even his brain was completely chaotic at this moment. On this dark ground, he saw no signs of fighting, no corpses, no discarded weapons, even Without horses and flags, everything seems to be gone, and turned into soft mud underfoot.
At the thought of this, Barron felt nausea involuntarily. He even felt that the dirt under his feet seemed to be greasy with blood at the moment.
"What about people? Anyone? Answer me!!!"
Along the way, Barron cried out from time to time, but he could not see any trace of anyone, nor could he hear any sound, which made Barron's heart sink to the bottom even though he did not know what happened, but he But I understand very well that I will soon know the truth.
At the entrance of the Twilight Forest, the calm of the past has been restored at this moment. Duke Barron stumbled and ran, until he came here, he finally saw what he had always wanted to see.
But at this moment, Duke Barron even hoped that he would never see these things.
There is a flat piece of land on this burnt black land. Unlike the surrounding mud mounds, this piece of land is very flat and hard. Above it, Duke Barron clearly saw thousands of figures.
Those are thousands of black human figures.
Some of them are sitting, some are lying down, some are running backwards, and some are running forward with their arms forward. These humanoid figures are still there like statues made of some kind of gray dust, but, in Barron It seems that it is even more cruel with some kind of inability to speak.
He slowed down, walked to those gray columns, stretched out his hand, and tried to touch these once-living beings—but, at the moment his finger touched, those human figures that were just barely fixed, finally Completely collapsed, turned into a trace of dust, drifted away and disappeared on the earth.
"This... this is..."
Barron was surprised to realize that his fingers and voice were shaking, which should not have happened to him. He was one of the three major army commanders, he was a general, and he was a qualified commander. I should have kept my state of mind and never lost my mind at all times. Single, now? He felt that his ability to bear seemed to have reached the limit. No one else knows, does he not yet know? Last night, there were 30,000 troops here! 30,000 troops! ! !
Barron turned his head slowly, he took a long breath, and then looked at the entrance of the Twilight Forest-then, he widened his eyes in surprise.
At the entrance of the twilight forest, a wacky carriage was slowly approaching here. It looks like a cage made of wood, but it seems a little different. A person in distressed armor, with his head distributed, was locked in firmly. His hands and feet were bound by iron chains, and his entire face was completely covered. The two old horses pulled the wooden carriage in this way and walked leisurely. But the man struggled desperately, twisting his body, trying to escape from this cage, but he tried his best, but still couldn't break free.
Although he couldn't see his long elephant clearly, when Barron saw the broken armor, he shivered involuntarily.
Is that...
There is no need for Barron to guess, because the man locked in the cage has a long white wooden board with his name written on it—the respectable and great King of King West V, Bo His Excellency.
Respectful tone, polite wording.
"His Majesty!!!"
At this moment, Barron couldn't bear it anymore. He shouted, then rushed straight forward, clenching his teeth and holding the long sword around his waist, pulling it out hard, and then slashed down into the wooden cage in front of him.
"Ding!!"
However, Barron did not achieve his purpose. Just when his long sword was about to come into contact with the wooden cage, a sharp clash sounded suddenly, and at the same time the long sword in Barron's hand broke in two. A strong impact came straight, and forced him to retreat. In desperation, Barron had to pull back, and he saw that in the seat in front of the carriage, a maid was reaching out, holding a short dagger, and stood in front of him.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"I am a general of the Kingdom of West."
Barron snorted and stepped forward again.
"Release him immediately, this is our majesty the king."
"I know."
The maid withdrew her dagger and sorted out her clothes, as well as the various weapons on her body, and then looked back.
"Isn't it written clearly?"
"You treat His Majesty the King this way..."
"How the master treats his spoils is his freedom. Moreover, he is your majesty, but has nothing to do with us."
The maid apparently didn't care about Barron's statement. While answering leisurely, she pulled the iron chain around her side.
"Woo!!!"
The collar tied by Tie Lian dragged Wester V into a state of embarrassment, and then he mounted it heavily on the railing, and gave out an ambiguous roar. While watching his lord be treated like this, Barron gritted his teeth, holding his fists and staring at the maid in front of him. But for his gaze, it was clear that the other party did not feel any threat.
"It seems quite energetic."
The maid glanced at it, then waved her whip again and beat the two old horses in front of her.
"So, let's move on, this time the task is very heavy."
While talking, the maid looked at Barron who was standing next to her.
"As for this general, I hope you don’t hinder my work, otherwise... I don’t think you want to know the consequences."
"How do you want to treat your majesty?"
Although he wanted to immediately rescue the king, Barron did not act rashly, because he could feel that although the maid spoke slowly and slowly, she looked very leisurely. However, a cold killing intention is to lock himself firmly. As a high-level swordsman, Barron can naturally feel how powerful this power is, which is far beyond his corresponding range. . He could be sure that if he came again, the dagger that the maid was playing with at the moment would pierce his heart without a doubt.
"how about it?"
Hearing this question, the maid tilted her head and seemed to be remembering something. Then she answered.
"Hmm... In short, pull it out, turn around three or five laps in the nearby city, and then, according to the master, this is a must... As for what comes next, the next thing is what the master will do. We lay off But not qualified to ask."
Here, the maid shrugged her shoulders.
"So, I hope you don’t interfere with my work, Master General, but the master said, this is not free to visit, but to collect money. After all, this is an expensive loot, it’s a pity if you can’t exchange it for profit. I’m going to two cities within today, but it’s not a small workload... Then, I’ll say goodbye.
