Chapter 1465 The Truth of the Past
The reason why everyone looked at each other in bewilderment was because Old Gary mentioned a taboo word, that is, demon.
"Is it a demon?"
Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, his eyes becoming more solemn.
Although he had heard of this word in the human world, and he was even called the Demon Shadow Lord, at that time, he actually didn't know what the demon specifically referred to.
It was not until after defeating the Evil God's Chosen Son that he further investigated and studied the first two eras of the Blank Era and learned that demons, like the Evil God's Chosen Son, were the followers of the Evil God.
In those days, when the Evil Gods bewitched and eroded all races, demons were the Evil God's right-hand men and pioneers, and could be called his right-hand men.
Although the Evil God's Chosen Sons were also the minions of the Evil God, most of them were driven by demons and could not meet the Evil God directly.
The most important thing is that even the weakest demons are said to have reached the level of demigods at least, and the outstanding ones have even entered the realm of gods, enough to compete head-on with the gods.
Therefore, it is not surprising that everyone present was extremely surprised when Old Gary mentioned the devil.
Because this was the existence that almost assisted the evil god in destroying the myriad races of the solar era. No matter what ancient books and documents recorded it, it was the embodiment of cruelty and danger.
"Old leader, what happened next?"
Lei Xiao gathered his mind and asked.
"I have also heard about everything about the devil, so after discovering these ominous things, I immediately withdrew from the ancient ruins and decided to seal it permanently."
Old Gary responded with an old and hoarse voice, and continued: "I clearly understand that even if there are extremely precious natural treasures or even other items in it, it is definitely not a field that we can set foot on. Sealing it is the best and only choice."
Hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Old Gary was right. In the Star Era, where the gods had long since left the myriad races, that is, today after the blank era, if a demon really reappeared, it would be a complete catastrophe.
Thinking of this, everyone's faces were puzzled again.
Since the old leader of the Broken Valley Alliance decisively chose to seal the ancient demon ruins, why did the following things happen? What about the twisted desire that the old leader just mentioned?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Old Gary's old voice full of vicissitudes sounded again, revealing the answer to the question.
"After making the decision to seal the ancient ruins, I immediately led the people to deploy magic restrictions. Only in this way can the ancient ruins be completely sealed."
"But the deployment of magic restrictions takes a long time after all, and it is not a one-day job. In addition, magic crystals need to be laid in the underground ruins as the foundation of the magic restrictions, so I have always participated in it personally to prevent strong people from mistakenly entering the depths of the ruins."
"At the beginning, everything went very smoothly until one day the war was urgent. The soldiers of my Broken Valley Alliance suffered repeated setbacks on the border with the second-rate forces, and even the deputy leader died in the hands of the other side."
"As a last resort, I had to rush to the front line to take charge of the overall situation and handed over the affairs of the sealed barrier to my youngest son Waters who had always been with me. He was in his prime at the time and had fought many victories with me. He had made great achievements in all aspects and was deeply trusted by me. I didn't expect that..."
At this point, the skeleton body of old Gary began to tremble slightly, and he was speechless for a while.
After hearing what the other party said, Lei Xiao, Loris, Sina and others looked at each other in bewilderment, and they had already guessed the answer to the matter.
Before this, Old Gary had mentioned that one of his descendants died because of his own actions, and he must have been talking about this youngest son Waters.
"Yes, I believe you have all guessed that after I left, it was Waters who was bewitched and eventually went to the deepest part of the ruins and personally awakened the liches sleeping there."
Old Gary sighed heavily and continued to describe.
"When I received this shocking news, it was the second day after the border was stabilized."
"According to the recollections of the only Alliance general who escaped from the ancient ruins, until the few days before the incident, Waters had been a little dazed, often mumbling in his mouth, and no one knew who he was talking to."
"When the other generals who stayed behind in the Alliance saw this and came forward to ask, Waters returned to normal and just said that he was reciting a spell. In addition, he was usually stable and mature, so no one paid attention to him."
"Until the incident happened That day, Waters suddenly announced that there were gods waiting in the depths of the ruins, which could greatly enhance the strength of everyone present. Then, despite everyone's dissuasion, he took his confidants and insisted on walking into the depths of the ruins that had never been set foot before. "
"In desperation, the others present had to follow and protect him, but no one expected that this would be the beginning of all destruction. "
"At that time, the alliance general who escaped by chance followed at the end of the team. He clearly saw that on the walls of the hall in the deepest part of the ancient ruins, there were thousands of black-robed wizards who looked like normal people. "
"And at the very back, there is a huge statue that is too blurry to be seen. It is as big as a small castle. Although the statue cannot be seen clearly, it still makes people feel uneasy and frightened."
"The Alliance general had just moved his eyes away from the strange statue. Waters had already knelt down in front of the huge blurry statue and started talking nonsense again. It was indeed like reciting some kind of incantation."
"As Waters' voice became louder and more fervent, the entire hall began to shake violently."
"Just when everyone realized that the situation was not good and was about to step forward to stop it, they saw a strange black light rising from around Waters and his cronies. When the light gradually dimmed, Waters and others were already His flesh and blood lay on the ground, as if he had been eaten by some kind of monster, completely lifeless."
"In shock, before the generals and strong men of other alliances could react, the surrounding walls with black-robed mages engraved on them also glowed with black light. Then, thousands of black-robed mages came out of the walls. They walked out and took off their hoods, revealing haggard faces like mummies, with blood-red eyes shining brightly."
Hearing the sound, Xina looked surprised and couldn't help but ask: "So, those black-robed mages are awakened lichs? And Waters' previous actions were equivalent to a kind of sacrifice? "
"Exactly like this, it was only then that the alliance general discovered that those lichs were not engraved on the walls at all, but used the walls as a camouflage tool, because after the lichs woke up, the walls were all covered with The corresponding human silhouettes are left behind, and they are hidden in the lines like sculptures.”
Old Gary nodded heavily and responded: "What happened next became obvious. The lichs grinned and launched an attack, turning the entire hall into a purgatory. Only the alliance general survived the screams and laughter. Escaped."
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Hearing this, Loris took a deep breath slowly, and the lion's face was full of solemnity and solemnity.
Faced with the sudden attack by tens of thousands of lichs, the despair of those strong men in the Broken Valley Alliance was obvious at that time, because the strength of the lichs was at the fifth level at the lowest level, not to mention that they were all the most ferocious users of forbidden spells. , it can be seen from this.
"In the final analysis, it was Waters who was so eager for strength that he opened the taboo box under the other party's bewitchment. It's also my fault. Waters shouldn't be left there, let alone let him take charge of the overall situation. "
Old Gary's voice was full of pathos and desolation, and he sighed heavily: "As for what happens next, it's self-evident."
"When I led my elite soldiers back, not only the entire ancient ruins and the surrounding barracks were sealed off, but also several surrounding cities were not spared. They all became areas where lichs roamed unscrupulously."
"Those terrifying and evil guys are like swarms of locusts who can use necromancy. Wherever they go, there is no grass and ruins everywhere, turning everyone they see into undead."
"Although the elite army led by me had the upper hand at the beginning, it was ultimately defeated because all the dead soldiers were turned into undead spirits and swung their swords towards Pao Ze who was fighting side by side just now."
After hearing Old Gary say this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, with a look of empathy.
I remember seeing this terrifying scene before when I was fighting against the Nightmare Knight in Kongqing Town.
When you see with your own eyes that Paoze, who was advancing and retreating together just now, has been transformed into a skeleton warrior, and then begins to fiercely attack him with weapons, it will cause a huge blow to the soldiers, both psychologically and in the battle situation. .
It can be imagined that the tens of thousands of lichs were not controlled by the undead at the beginning, and would never let go of any fallen corpse.
"Until the end, I began to retreat steadily, and the main generals and other heirs around me were killed one after another, so that the entire alliance almost became the opponent's world, and only this underground city built on the capital was left. ”
Old Gary's voice full of vicissitudes and sorrow sounded again, and he looked at the stone elf beside him, and his voice became softer: "It was also during the process of building the dungeon that I accidentally used the "Truth of Truth" passed down from my ancestors. "Key" opened the "Gate of Truth" where Yuyou was, and finally adopted Yuyou as his granddaughter. "
Hearing the sound, everyone present was moved.
Although the old leader spoke in an understatement, it is not difficult to tell from between the lines that after the death of his youngest son Waters, the former was retreating steadily and was unable to protect his homeland. At the same time, he also lost his other heirs. Undoubtedly, he walked into The situation was completely desperate, and the appearance of Youyou was the only solace for the frail old leader.
"You don't have to be like this. The reason why I have fallen into this situation today is only because of myself."
Old Gary's mandible opened again, and he tried his best to put on a wry smile, and then said: "It's just that I feel ashamed of the people and soldiers of the Broken Valley Alliance. As the leader of the alliance, I buried the seeds of disaster with my own hands. down, and ultimately unable to stop it, leading to destruction.”
"Chief, I don't blame you. We are willing to fight with you until the last moment. That was the case then and it is the same now!"
As soon as Old Gary said this, the other strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance around him took a step forward and said in unison.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao and others couldn't help but feel moved again.
It is not difficult to see from this that this old leader is indeed extremely loved and respected. However, the Lich is too powerful and domineering, otherwise the Broken Valley Alliance will undoubtedly be an extremely powerful force now.
Just when everyone was thinking about this, Old Gary gently patted the shoulder bones of the strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance around him and began to describe it again.
"To be honest with you, when we chose Youyou to form the secret method, we were already in a desperate situation, so I tried my best to find a hope of victory, even if it was just a glimmer."
"After a series of attempts, I finally chose the method of injecting sacred markings into my body without hesitation. Even if we fall here and become undead controlled by our opponents, we still have to take advantage of the opponent's inattention to inflict it again." A fatal blow to the opponent!"
Old Gary's unswerving voice resounded in the ears of everyone present: "You all know what happened next. Although the plan has changed, we did not wake up immediately, but we can communicate with you We met today, and all our efforts have undoubtedly been in vain.”
"You're welcome, old leader. It's a worthwhile trip for us to be able to hear such an epic story and find out the truth about what happened back then."
Lei Xiao nodded heavily, and then there was a hint of confusion on his face, and he asked: "Speaking of which, old leader, forgive me for speaking frankly, since Waters only woke up the lich after being bewitched. Yes, then who was he bewitched?"
As soon as Lei Xiao said this, Xina and Loris also cast their doubtful eyes over. This was also the biggest question in their minds.
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, this was also my biggest question back then. According to the surviving alliance general, those lichs were indeed awakened after Waters' sacrifice."
Old Gary nodded thoughtfully and responded: "So I analyzed that maybe when we were exploring the ruins, we awakened a certain lich among them, and Waters was affected by that witch. The bewitchment of the demon eventually led to catastrophe.”
"But old chief, the lich doesn't seem to have such power to confuse people."
Loris frowned slightly and couldn't help but speak.
"That's what I thought too, so I thought of another possibility."
Lei Xiao took over the conversation, frowning more and more: "Do you still remember the huge blurry statue whose shape can't be seen that the surviving alliance general mentioned?" (End of this chapter)
