Chapter 1323 Evening Blood Line

The huge sun was setting in the west, and in the gradually slanting blood-colored sunset, the ancient jungle had turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the same blood-like fire as the setting sun rose and burned in the ancient land of the orcs, almost towering the entire gravel plain and the Ruby City. The walls of the city were stained with a layer of crimson.

The city wall fell into a dead silence, and everyone's minds seemed to be tightly gripped by the bloody spread on the plain, until a tribal warrior shouted loudly on the city wall, and the silence was broken: "The great chief! Back! Open the city gate!!"

The heavy purple steel city gate was slowly raised under the action of iron chains and pulley blocks. Amidst the creaking sound of friction, Camilla and the last group of retreated tribal warriors rushed into the ancient main city of the orcs, accompanied by As the heavy door closed again, a false and temporary "sense of security" was established—but this "sense of security" did not make Camilla's steps brisk at all, she just took heavy steps. Step up the city wall and walk towards your general and soldiers.

The tribal warriors who came to guard the city wall and the temporarily armed militia were crowded on both sides. Many nervous or tired eyes watched her quietly in the setting sun. Camilla never thought that the eyes of her compatriots would make her Feeling such a heavy weight, she walked forward silently, feeling the power brought by the blood talent in her body gradually fade away, the pain and poison began to torture her nerves and will again, and the feeling of weakness came wave after wave .

At this moment, a childish and nervous voice suddenly came from among the soldiers: "Great Chief, my uncles and aunts said that what you did was right..."

Camilla's footsteps couldn't help but stop. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a short orc girl standing in a corner looking at her boldly. Her ears were still covered with blackish soft fur. , the battle marks on her cheeks and neck have not yet grown, she is holding a small ax in her hand, and she looks not as tall as the waist and abdomen of soldiers - even according to the "Shahdafah" standard, she is not It's time to stand on the wall.

The expression on Camilla's face changed. She came to the little girl, bent down and pressed her forehead against the other's forehead. She didn't stand up to look at the nearby soldiers until the warmth of the blood was transmitted through the fur. They asked, "Where are the parents of this child? Why did such a young child go up the city wall?"

She asked twice in a row, but no one responded to her, so she came to her senses, looked down at the girl who was holding a small ax and standing with the soldiers, bent down again, and said in a hoarse and soft voice: "You are a brave child ... You will follow the warriors of the tribe for a while, and someone will come and tell you where to go."

After getting an affirmative answer from the little girl, she got up again and walked across the ramp. On the city wall, she saw General Morakot with a bandage on his arm.

"Arrange children, scholars, and some young and strong craftsmen to leave the city and retreat to the peak of the ancestors," Camilla came to Morakot and said to the old orc in a low voice, "In addition, there is a child on the city wall who hasn't even grown battle patterns. , and take her away."

Morakot looked at Camilla with a complicated expression: "The Great Chief..."

"There is no way we can retreat. We must stay here to buy time for people from other tribes. This is the mission of warriors and chiefs—but it should not be the fate of our entire tribe," Camilla shook her head, "Scholar The mission of the craftsmen, craftsmen and children is to survive. We need successors to rebuild this land. Even if the whole of Ogure cannot avoid the fate of destruction in the end, we must leave some seeds and keep a part of the long history in the future. hope."

Morakot was silent for a few seconds,

Finally, he slowly lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Of course, Great Chief."

The old orc quickly completed the arrangement, and the chief's order was carried out. After completing the order, he returned to Camilla's side, and looked at the burning red jade forest with her, silent for a long time No words.

Flames rose in the forest sea, and from time to time, black smoke and explosions erupted deep in the dense forest. A purple-black air mass tried to condense above the forest sea, but was continuously dispersed by the raging flames, feeling the turbulent magic and power in the air. With elemental power, Morakot couldn't help but whispered: "Your plan has worked, the main force of those monsters is being wiped out by the forest watcher's flames."

"It's just a deterrent—the flames don't just kill the monsters that emerge from the wasteland, and the Red Jade Forest isn't an impenetrable barrier." Camilla shook her head and said in a low voice, "The power of the forest guards is limited, but those aberrations continue to flow.”

She raised her head and looked in the direction of Hongyu Linhai: "When I was evacuating, I noticed that those monsters had begun to emerge from the mountain roads on the north and south sides of Wolf's Ridge Mountain. Under the command, they are not completely ignorant. They know how to scout, divide and outflank, and in this case, being able to block part of their vanguard main force with the Red Jade Linhai is already a great victory."

Morakot fell silent. The old orc seemed unwilling to accept the reality that giving up the entire Ruby Forest could only temporarily block the enemy's offensive. However, the reality would not change according to his will, and he could only sigh in the end: "At least, we Stopping the overall transformation of the land into a wasteland environment - the burned land can still be inhabited one day."

Camilla nodded silently, and at this moment, she suddenly noticed that something seemed to be rising in the depths of the burning ruby ​​forest. She looked into the depths of the flames and thick smoke in astonishment, and saw A huge shadow is condensing, rising, and quickly turning into a phantom with a cloak and a blurry face!

It was the image of the forest guard, a condensed phantom. This phantom got up from the forest and looked at the direction of Hongyu City from a distance. After watching for a while, it raised its arm made of smoke and pointed at Hongyu Forest from afar. In the north, after making a vigilant gesture, this huge illusion suddenly disintegrated and turned into a sky full of smoke and dust.

And at the moment when the smoke and dust drifted away with the wind, the raging flames in the Red Jade Forest also rose to its peak, but there was no tangible will support in this monstrous raging flames—it had become an ordinary forest fire.

The forest guards are free, and another mysterious and long-standing thing has become history on the land of Ogure, but the great chief and general on the city wall have no extra energy to lament this. Morakot stared at the huge illusion In the direction of the last finger, the tone became tense: "Great chief, the forest guards seem to want to tell us something, that direction is..."

"Let the soldiers on the city wall prepare to fight, and let the evacuation team leave the city immediately," Camilla spoke quickly, and she had already thought of the worst possibility, "That is the direction where the fourth human mountain corps is stationed... the northern defense line may It was gouged through!"

The forces in the Red Jade City were quickly mobilized. Those capable of fighting and all the war supplies in the city were sent to the city wall, and the teams that needed to evacuate began to gather at the side gate in the west of the city. Not long after that, Camilla had a bad premonition Got confirmed.

An ominous cloud of dark smoke rose from the sky in the north of Hongyu Linhai, and the unusually gathered clouds brought a huge sense of oppression, and the soldiers who had experienced successive fierce battles before were no strangers to this feeling—that feeling It is the unclean atmosphere emanating from the converging army of deformed bodies, and it is a sign that the entire land is transforming into a wasteland environment.

As Camila said, the Red Jade Forest Sea cannot stop all enemies. When Ogure's defense lines are broken one by one, the aberrations that gather together can attack the surviving cities on this land from any direction. ——Of course, the fire in Hongyu Linhai was not meaningless. This fire at least blocked more than half of the mutants, but correspondingly... Camilla and her warriors must now face the remaining enemies.

"Perhaps today is the day of our destiny," Morakot clenched his hands when the familiar "dark tide" appeared on the northern horizon, rushing along the edge of the fire in the Red Jade Forest to the towering walls of the Ruby City With the chipped ax, he turned his head to look at the great chief next to him, "I am honored to have you witness."

"Today we will all be witnessed by our ancestors," Camilla laughed, her sharp fangs glowing blood in the dusk, "at least we persisted until the last moment."

On the city wall, the exhausted warriors assembled again, the gapped weapons and damaged staffs were clenched again, all eyes were facing the dark tide rushing towards Hongyu City, and in the direction of Hongyu Linhai , the monstrous flames are still burning, but the aberrations on the other side of the sea of ​​flames are also ready to attack, and they will swarm in after the flames are slightly extinguished.

However, at this moment, a meteor-like flame suddenly pierced through the blood-colored dusk, and accompanied by a shrill howling sound, that "shooting star" fell straight into the densest "black tide" in the north. The place.

"Boom!!"

A terrifying explosion soared into the sky, and the vibration of the entire earth even made the walls of Hongyu City shake.

This first sky fire seems to be some kind of signal, or a test for calibration. Ten seconds after the big explosion soared into the sky on the horizon, the continuous sharp howling sound began to tear the sky. In front of Camilla, the land where the black tide was located was almost instantly swept by the explosion and sea of ​​flames, as if the whole land was rolled up in front of this terrifying force, and she felt that the fluff all over her body was blowing up in an instant—— In the ferocious power, she couldn't feel any emotion of the living such as "brave", "hatred" and "killing", but only pure destruction. This bloodless, tearless, cold and precise killing power made her She subconsciously looked at her general, but only saw the same horror and astonishment in his eyes.

"What is that?" General Morakot exclaimed in surprise. He looked in the direction where the "shooting stars" fell, but only saw the thick clouds under the setting sun and the light that was constantly shining in the clouds, but soon, There was a change in the cloud layer—some kind of frighteningly huge object floated out of the cloud layer, and began to gradually approach the direction of Hongyu City.

It was a city floating in the sky, like a palace made of steel. It was held up in the sky by a ring of radiant runes and a thick and complex support structure. There were giant cannons and platforms full of soldiers around the city. It descended from the clouds and moved towards The entire land was splashed with destructive flames and explosions, and a low hum sounded from the depths of the steel creation, like thunder in the belly of a giant beast.

Immediately afterwards, more and smaller flying platforms appeared around the "city", all of which were equipped with cannons capable of firing skyfire and various weapons, surrounding the city in the sky like a herd of beasts, the bloody sky light Reflected on their shells and turrets, the shredded clouds receded in the sky——

These behemoths are slowly advancing in the sky, bombing and strafing the entire land as precisely as the machines in a factory. Their speed is not fast, but it is such a slow advancement that makes everyone The creatures who looked up at them on the ground were instantly overwhelmed by their aura.

This was not the war the orcs were familiar with—it wasn't a "battle" at all.

This is the cleaning and purification of the earth, and it is a kind of "management method" for the pests that corrode the land.

"The Peak of the Ancestors..." Morakot took a deep breath, as if he wanted to use this method to resist the huge pressure he felt, "What is that? The Temple of the Stars of the Elf? But there is no such a group of people in the Temple of the Stars." ..."

"Look at the sky—that's the symbol of the Cecil Empire," Camilla suddenly noticed the huge holographic projections floating among those behemoths. Projected out to the personnel on the surface to identify, "It's the reinforcements! It's the alliance's reinforcements that have arrived!"

Accompanied by Camilla's voice, some of those huge platforms slowly lowered their height, and a large number of shells of various calibers were thrown at the ground, and more precise and efficient "cleaning" began.

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous broadcast sounded over the entire city, but it was the voice of a very energetic young girl: "This is the air unit of the Western Front Expeditionary Force of the Cecil Empire, the air force of the 'Earthly Dawn' Battle group, repeat, the air and space battle group 'Dawn of the Earth' enters the arena - our department is ordered to support you, and our department is ordered to support you..."

It was a familiar voice.

When this voice sounded, Camilla felt involuntarily relaxed, and she even showed a smile on her face, but General Morakot standing next to her showed an unexpected look: "Such a young voice? Those terrible air The fort is actually commanded by such a young girl?"

"The young girl you mentioned is one of the few people who are qualified to change our world order, General Morakot," Camilla said softly, "I didn't expect her to come in person, but this It doesn't seem to be a surprise..."

Morakot froze for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but then the broadcast sound from high above interrupted his voice: "This is Rebecca, calling for Ruby City, calling for Ruby City—Camilla Great Chief, please open the communicator to talk."

Camilla was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses, and immediately looked at the people around her: "Communicator—bring the communicator!"

A tribal warrior rushed out immediately, and not long after, a portable magic net terminal was sent to the city wall-for a long time in the past, this device could not be contacted due to interference all over the land The communication site in the distance, but at this moment its base is lit up to represent the smooth signal.

There is no doubt that this has something to do with those huge fortresses floating in the sky.
