Chapter 168 Darkness Before Dawn
Darkness surges.
The aliens swarmed up and rushed toward the prey in front of them. They crawled quickly on the wall, moving silently like ghosts. Looking up, they could only see a series of dark afterimages. They saw these monsters heading towards them from all directions.
When it hit, a series of screams suddenly erupted from the crowd, and many refugees turned around and ran away in fear. The Paladins also raised their weapons and bravely attacked. Although they did not have no idea of escape at all,
But now, in this situation, there is only one thing they can do - that is to delay these monsters as much as possible and buy time for the refugees.
No matter what, they have the grace of God and it is their duty to fight for justice!
But Zhan didn't care about the fire and anger burning in the eyes of these Paladins, or even their firm determination. This was meaningless to him. This was not the first time he saw humans showing such expressions. If it had been before
If so, Zhan En might even be a little moved. But now, he just squinted his eyes and enjoyed the farce in front of him.
After all, he is no longer human.
Those who are not of my race must have different minds.
This is an unbreakable truth that has stood for thousands of years.
The Paladins were not able to block the alien attack. Their blades may still be sharp, and their fighting spirit is burning like fire. But after all, they are just humans, humans who walk on two legs. They have no wings, so of course
It is impossible to learn to fly. But the aliens can rush backward through smooth walls and tall domes like ivy. The city wall formed by the Paladins cannot even cause the slightest obstacle to these dark monsters. The next moment
, accompanied by heart-rending screams, the massacre officially kicked off.
The alien jumped down from the ceiling. Its sharp claws immediately held down an unlucky refugee on the ground. Before he could even shout a few more lines, the sharp claws penetrated his heart. Then the alien's right claw retracted and released,
The next moment, the refugee's rag-like corpse was spinning and flying into the air, and then fell to the ground. Under the action of gravity, the internal organs and blood flew out from the torn wound in the abdomen and scattered among the crowd. This
It immediately triggered a scream of fear. But the next moment, the alien's long tail suddenly swung by, causing a series of bloody rains and ending several innocent lives.
Innocent lives.
Zhan reached out and touched the mask. The people here are indeed innocent, but what does this have to do with him? In fact, when he attacks Orant City this time, wealth and resources are secondary. The most important thing is that Zhan needs
Use this city to build a stage for your own underground city, and blood and death are the scenery on the stage. It's that simple. In this world, nothing is more important than life, and nothing is smaller than life. Fall on yourself
For their family, the corpse at their feet may be almost equivalent to the destruction of the entire world. But for the multiverse, a grain of sand, a grain of dust, a bug, a beast, a country or even a god,
Destruction has nothing to do with death. The bloodshed and sacrifice of thousands of people cannot change anything. Just like if the earth is destroyed by a meteorite, then it is only a big deal for life on the earth. But
For the entire universe, such planetary collisions are nothing to mention—even commonplace.
Hundreds and thousands of years ago, it was these human ancestors who sang war songs and launched a charge without hesitation in the face of tens of thousands of demon armies. Countless heroes and countless warriors dedicated themselves to a glorious future.
He took his own life. But hundreds of years later, darkness came again, and evil and darkness returned to this land without mercy, and once again began to ruthlessly destroy everything. The cycle repeats, even if this time the invasion of the demons occurs again.
Even if they are defeated, they will still come back again, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years, but no matter what, only one thing is certain.
That's all it is, it never ends.
Thinking of this, Zhan clenched the cane in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and showed a smile.
Now is the time to join this never-ending war.
Raise the torch, light the beacon, and announce to the world that darkness is coming again!
Zhan raised the cane in his hand high and then knocked it hard on the ground.
“————!!”
The ground began to tremble and break, and a huge gap quickly spread forward. Then, flames were seen rising into the sky, turning into a huge three-headed fire snake, opening its mouth, and launching an attack on the Paladins.
"Be careful, get out of the way!!" Bishop Ryan had been observing every move of the necromancer. The moment he saw him taking action, Ryan's intuition realized that something was wrong. While he shouted angrily, he asked the Paladin to
They ducked away, raising the holy symbol in their hands high.
"God, grant me the shield of protection!!"
The golden thread of the law quickly stretched from the holy symbol, deformed, and turned into a complicated and gorgeous protective barrier, rotating in front of the holy knights. The fire snake opened its mouth and pounced downwards, and then slammed into the holy knight.
On the shield. Although they were not able to completely break open the shield, everyone could see several broken patterns clearly emerging on the surface of the shield.
"hiss----!!"
Seeing this scene, everyone took a breath. You must know that the holy shield is a product of the law, which means that it is not an entity, but a deformation of energy. Logically speaking, it is actually unlikely to be
It was defeated. But now, it was actually knocked out of the crack of the entity by the fire snake. This shows that the opponent's attack is not only comparable to the Holy Shield in terms of energy, but its attack power even extends to the depth of the law.
How is this possible? How can the opponent have such strong elemental attack power? Although Bishop Ryan is not a legendary level powerhouse, he can be regarded as a master level spell caster. In addition, the holy shield is the highest level of the temple's protective spell.
One of them was able to open a gap so easily. Could it be that the other party was the fire element lord?
Having said that, he is obviously a necromancer, but how can he be so comfortable with elemental spells? Don’t you think the style of painting is wrong?
But Zhan En would not answer their questions, and now was not the time to waste time in a place like this. He raised his right hand again, and this time lightning struck through the sky, falling on Zhan En's hand, and then turned into a shining dazzling eye.
The glorious spear. Then Zhan grabbed the spear condensed with thunder and lightning and threw it forward.
The next moment, the whistling lightning spear completely penetrated the barrier of the holy shield, and the scattered thunderstorms were like long whips mercilessly cutting through the air, hitting the bodies of the Paladins hard. And here.
For a moment, the Holy Emblem in Bishop Lane's hand finally couldn't withstand such a powerful attack, and was completely shattered with a "click". He raised his head in despair, and what he could see was that the whole body was burning with flames, already open.
An elemental fire snake with a bloody mouth.
Then, his body was completely swallowed up and disappeared in the flames.
The dark night continues, and the heavy rain shows no sign of stopping.
"Isn't there any news from outside?"
General Cobos frowned and stood on the balcony looking at the city below. Under the torrential rain, the previous firelight had completely disappeared. Looking around, he could only see darkness. Whether it was a commercial area or a civilian area,
Shrouded in darkness. He has sent out ten scouts in succession, but now he can't even hear a single response. He didn't even see an emergency signal being sent out. What happened down there?
General Cobos could imagine that they must have been attacked, but who was attacking them? How did they enter Orant City? Could it be that the other party had an internal agent? But it is not as if the defense forces had no reaction at all?
Even if the Stone Legion is a bunch of trash, the Iron Legion and the Silver Legion should send someone to contact them, right? What is the situation now?
Could it be that the monsters from the mine broke out before?
Thinking of this, General Cobos frowned. Judging from the time, this possibility is not impossible. Not long ago, Bart, the captain of the third team of the Iron Legion, hurriedly came to report that the miners had dug up the underground ruins.
, angered some kind of terrifying and powerful monster, and shortly after that, Orant City was attacked - but the problem is that a group of monsters were able to take over civilian areas and commercial areas without alerting anyone.
An army? Even a well-trained army may not be able to do this, let alone those mindless beasts. Not even a dragon can even imagine that it can quietly launch an attack on Orant City.
Attack, no matter what kind of monster, is absolutely impossible to do this.
General Cobos's fingers trembled slightly. He always felt that something was not quite right, but for a while, he couldn't be sure what he had grasped deep in his heart. Although according to the city lord's opinion, they should stick to it
Good noble area, in order to prevent those petty people from making trouble, but he always felt that the other party seemed to have other purposes. Although it was not ruled out that they were setting traps waiting for him to come to his door, but now, the old general had no better way.
.
And almost at this moment, in front of his eyes, a bolt of thunder and lightning crashed down, and the eruption of pale light reflected the tall and upright figure of the old general without any wavering.
"The order goes down, the Golden Legion and the First Guards assemble."
The old man said in a deep voice, he reached out his hand and couldn't help but touch the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"We're getting ready for action."
