The ninth episode, the arrival of the emperor, the fifth chapter, the harvest of death(1/2)
.
The Damilada Plain was the richest place in the empire countless years ago. It has a fertile land of thousands of miles and rich resources. It is known as the land of fish and rice. However, thousands of years have passed, and the years have changed, and the once rich land has turned into a desert. The land of fish and rice is now without any grass.
In addition to the Holy Mountain of Light and several satellite cities around it, the Damilada Plain has become a deserted world that is rarely visited.
In the dark night, a few ignitions appeared on the desolate field. Gotunpu spread his four hooves, and the heavy sound of hooves shook the deep night, rolling across the earth like a string of drought thunder. The ignitions were the flames that never extinguished in its four hooves and eyes.
Leo sat upright on Gordup's back, holding a strange spear with a strange appearance in his hand, staring at the gun body without moving.
I don’t know what material the spear is made of, and it’s as dark as ink.
This kind of black is not just black, but a changing black, as if it changes its own depth according to the degree of darkness around it.
What's even more strange is that the spear does not seem to have a spear head, but one end is pointed and the other end is blunt. The sharp one is not considered the spear tip at all, just like a wooden stick that is formed by sharpening one end at random, which is extremely simple.
But looking at the spear, Leo felt a deep awe in his heart.
Because when the Pope's crown handed over this spear, he once said: "This spear is stained with the blood of eight hundred and ninety-seven angels from the seventh to the thirteenth level and a master god. Its name is Soul-Devouring."
Even without the Pope's Coronation introducing its origin, Leo saw through the extraordinaryness of the gun at first sight. The faint soul-mourning energy on the gun had already told him that it was the weapon of an immortal king.
"Why give it to me?"
After taking the spear, Leo couldn't help asking.
"Its former owner is a Death Knight."
The Pope answered this.
Leo still didn't understand. Although he was also a Death Knight, he was only at the Duke level, and the owner of the spear was a king-level Death Knight. The spear could not exert its true power in his hands.
However, Leo did not ask again. Even if he could not exert the true power of the Soul-Devouring, his own sharpness alone would be enough for him to pierce the immature Lord of Death, the head of the Black Dragon, which was so strong that it was perverted.
"Hey, Leo, where are we going now? What's the matter with the gun in your hand? How do I feel the smell of the Lord of Dead on the gun? Isn't this the weapon of any king?
"Why did the king's weapons come to the church of Light? Is it a spoil? Didn't you say that there are no immortal kings on the continent long ago? The black dragon is the only one, and this gun cannot be his..." Ge Dunpu, who couldn't stop talking, rarely stopped his mouth along the way, and a series of questions kept popping out of his mouth.
Leo is used to it and directly ignores its questions, and he is used to it and asks it himself, regardless of whether he can get the answer.
Leo pulled the reins and clamped his legs and abdomen.
Gordunp understood, and immediately his limbs stumbled forward, and his four hooves slid out four scratches on the ground, and he stopped quickly.
"What should I do when I stop? Hei Er said that humans usually need to pee, eat, sleep, etc. Do you want to try peeing when you stop? I haven't seen you do it normally, so do you want me to teach you?" Ge Dunpu chattered.
Leo walked away with a spear in his arms, turned around and swept the gun in one move, and swept across the army. The spear burst out with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, sweeping towards Gordup's head like lightning.
The sudden change came, and Gedump had no time to react, so he could only watch the spear get closer and closer.
"Huo——"
The gun rod almost stopped against the tip of Gordunpu's nose, and the wind pressure brought by the spear made its hair fall in the same direction.
Staring at the gun sticking to the tip of his nose and feeling the faint swelling of the wind, Gedump sweated a cold sweat.
Retracting the spear silently, Leo strode forward.
From the time he was almost swept to his nose by the spear, Godump's eyes never left the gun. Now that he saw the spear getting farther and farther away from him, it let out a heavy breath.
From the gun, it felt a terrible pressure that could not be felt on ordinary weapons, and this pressure made it tremble.
Among the concepts of many abyss creatures, death is not the most terrifying thing, and there are many things that are more terrifying than death. Therefore, the pressure on the gun that makes it scared is not the pressure brought by death, but the inherent pressure of a terrifying aura on the weak.
After walking a distance, Leo began to wave the spear in his hand.
Then Gordup woke up and stopped. It turned out that he wanted to test the gun.
For a new weapon, using it is the best way to get familiar with it.
The spear quickly waving, tearing out a continuous burst of continuous sound, sharp and harsh sound of breaking through the air, piercing from time to time, and making a dull sound of rupture, which was the sound boom produced by the spear piercing the air.
The Black Warrior is an undead race known for its martial arts, and its branch Death Knight's martial arts are also amazing. When a set of gunshots is used, it is like mercury leaking into the ground, everywhere, and like flowing clouds and water, continuous.
Leo's movements became faster and faster, and the spear even brought about waves of afterimages. In Godump's eyes, it seemed as if there were countless spears.
Finally, Leo shouted loudly, his body jumped up in the air, and a spear in his hand pierced straight into the sky, and a sharp fighting spirit broke through the gun.
Just before the energy of the qi was fully shot out, he suddenly waved his qi, and the qi grew into a half-moon shape, slashing towards the earth.
With the rumbling sound, the ground suddenly cracked four or five meters long and half a meter wide.
The flames in Gordup's eyes almost went out: "Lei...Leo... Is this in your hand a magical weapon?"
"Soul armed."
Leo pulled his gun and turned around, finally responding to it.
"This is the soul arming of the Lord of Mourning. It's so powerful. You can't exert its true power at all. It's already so powerful. How terrible is its true power?"
Gordup's vision was very poisonous. He could see at a glance that Leo could not exert the true power of Soul-Devouring at all, but it was this that shocking him. It would be so terrible if he had not exerted his true power. If he had reached the hands of the real master, his power would probably not be inferior to the legendary artifact at all.
Leo looked at the Soul Devouring again, and after a while, he said, "It's invincible."
In the city of Lister, the Order of Angels with less than a thousand people completely occupied a large building complex that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
They had two people in a room, and they didn't have to be like those ordinary soldiers, with more than a dozen or hundreds of people squatting a tent. They also had wardrobes, tables, chairs, and mattresses in the room, and even servants. The living conditions were completely comparable to those of the senior officials who were advised by God.
Everyone takes such superior treatment for granted, because they are angel knights, the strongest force in the Church of Light besides the Knights of Gods.
Every angel knight is proud and proud to join the angel knights, and is even more excited to be able to serve in the legendary angel men.
The Knights of Angels have their own second-line reserve troops, so after suffering such a huge loss, they quickly filled up their manpower.
This group of newly-entered angel knights are neatly formed, with their heads raised and their chests raised, and they are arrayed in a square formation with high fighting spirit, ready to be reviewed by the legendary leader of the angel.
But their leader Philip was in a building next to the schoolyard, looking at the knights standing in the schoolyard with a look of ridicule and pity in his eyes.
"Ignorance Lamb! Who will save your lost souls..." Suddenly, Philip murmured in a low voice, turned around and walked towards the door of the room.
A moment later, Philip appeared on the high platform on the front of the school grounds.
Seeing the leader appear, the newly-entered Angel Knight's chest was raised higher, his eyes were not squinted, and his expression was solemn and dignified.
Looking around the field, Philip opened his mouth gently, but his voice clearly reached everyone's ears in the huge school field.
"Anges are heroic warriors who protect the supreme gods. They are loyal and brave. In the name of angels, we are also warriors who protect the supreme gods and the light, brave and fearless. We are the pioneers of light, and use the sword in our hands to smooth out all the haze and darkness. Can you do it?"
The more Philip spoke, the higher his voice, the more he said, the last sentence was like a roar, like a drought thunder blew in everyone's ears.
Short but sensational words make these angel knights who have been faithful to protect the light for life.
As soon as Philip finished speaking, the knights shouted in unison: "You can do it."
"Will you give your all, including your life and soul, to your faith?" Philip asked in a loud voice.
"willing!"
There was another roar, and everyone was so hard that their necks turned red.
"good!"
Philip tapped his chest, his legs closed together and greeted a knight's salute: "Welcome to the glorious and holy Knights of Angels. I am your leader, please call me Philip."
Philip said with a satisfied expression on his face, but deep in his eyes, there was still a trace of mockery that was hard to be noticed.
"Captain Philip."
The knights saluted neatly, and the sounds and roars hitting their chests soared into the sky.
Philip nodded, turned around and walked down the platform, and ordered the attendant beside him, "Send a small team to check the disappearance of soldiers near Liste."
The attendant was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little strange.
The Emperor* side will naturally investigate the disappearance of imperial soldiers. There is no need to mobilize these elite angel knights, right?
Although he was confused, the attendant was stunned for a moment and immediately responded respectfully: "Yes."
Philip had supreme authority among the Angel Knights. Even though he was puzzled, the servants still dared not question the decision of the leader.
Seeing the servant walking into the room without looking back, Philip's eyes became even more pity.
Just as the new angel knights were roaring loyalty to their faith and always guarding the light, on the other hand, the Black Dragon also found one of the concentrated buried sites of the corpses in the Battle of Rist, which was a remote small valley forty miles outside Rist.
In the Battle of Liste, the total number of soldiers and civilians on both sides who died in battle and various causes was nearly 200,000. In order to avoid causing plague, most of the bodies were burned on the spot.
However, due to various reasons such as insufficient firewood or insufficient time, some of the bodies will be transported to remote places far away from the crowd for a long time.
This small valley is one of them, with about 20,000 corpses buried in it.
People who have never seen tens of thousands of corpses can never imagine how spectacular the scene of tens of thousands of corpses piled up together, but this scene is a pediatric for the Black Dragon.
The only time he was shocked by his bones was in the Desert of Death.
There are tens of millions of skeletons left over from the life-and-death battle tens of years ago. Even skeletons like him who are ignorant of the world have to be shocked by that huge number.
The surface of the pile of corpses was piled with thin layers of soil, but the wild wolf and the dog had long turned the place into a mess, and many corpses were exposed. The rotten muscles and clean bones made the entire valley smell bad.
Ailin, who had never seen such a scene, covered her nose and her pretty face turned pale. After enduring for a long time, she still vomited out in a sensation.
Undead creatures have no sense of smell, but there are reasons for revitalizing skin and muscle development. Lichs like Aileen still maintain their physical activity. Although they are not as sensitive as before, their sense of smell remains a little bit.
No matter how strong the smell is, it is not enough to be tolerated. The reason why Ailin vomits is entirely because of her psychological effect.
As a mercenary, I have seen many corpses, broken hands and feet, and blood flowing into a river. However, compared with these rotten corpses that are still rotten and have fat maggots, they immediately dwarf.
Unfortunately, she hadn't eaten anything for a long time and couldn't even spit out bile, so she could only retching continuously.
Under the chain action, Yue also vomited. Although Luo Binz and Xing did not vomit, their faces and expressions were not very good-looking.
Rassie had nothing to do, she looked at Ailin silently, then looked at the corpse in the ditch, looking confused.
She lost her memory and had even forgotten the feelings of disgust and fear.
The black dragon jumped off the war horse and circled around the small valley.
There are too many corpses here, and even if he exerts all his soul energy, he cannot resurrect them all.
Moreover, some of the bones are damaged, and these broken bones are disabled even if they are resurrected, so he needs to choose.
He is a skeleton, and he has an instinct method to observe skeletons. As the soul grows, this instinct becomes more and more powerful.
