Chapter 1202 Spirit Dance
After a few days.
The West French army began to leave the Baidari Canyon.
when leaving.
There are obviously a lot of new faces in the army.
These are soldiers from the 'Pale Empire', they were only shallow followers of the 'Pale Queen'.
Under the soft and hard actions of the West French army, they changed their beliefs and betrayed the empire for their own purposes.
Of course, the West French Army never believed them because of this.
These surrendered soldiers will charge on the front line in the next battle.
Only after a few battles.
To be able to win trust.
After leaving Baidari Canyon.
There is no longer any natural barrier in the empire, towns, cities, everything is exposed to the eyes of the West French army.
Battle of Badari Canyon.
The empire has almost exhausted its domestic soldiers. Although some reserves are available, they are not comparable to the regular army in terms of quantity or quality.
In this situation.
There is no overall dispatch from the capital.
The counties and cities are almost fighting on their own.
When the West French army left the canyon, it was like a flood that came out of the gate, rolling in the empire, sweeping all directions.
for a while.
The flames of war were ignited almost throughout the entire territory of the empire.
The cities and towns in the various counties of the empire actively resisted, but their strengths were too different.
The Western French army was like a broken bamboo, marching forward triumphantly.
The battle flags were planted all over the small towns and cities.
There is a tendency to conquer the whole territory.
Quickly attack the royal capital 'White City'.
That night.
The White City.
Ethereal, music with a certain mysterious charm.
It is above the city, floating in every corner.
in the city.
In one building after another, residents wearing gray and white cloaks and hoods, with only half of their faces showing, came out.
There was a light mist floating in the street, and there was a special, indescribable aroma in the mist.
Mist, light fragrance.
Everything becomes blurred and ambiguous.
The night sky is no longer clear.
It seemed to be shrouded in an invisible layer of darkness.
gloomy.
Dark and starless.
With the help of her mother, a little girl puts on a cloak at home and lifts her head, her eyes sparkle.
"Mom, where are we going?"
"Go to Resurrection Square, the Queen is calling us." The mother touched her daughter's hair, and then took a 'cup' made of skulls.
There was a white candle in there, and the mother took out a match and lit it.
Then handed the 'cup' to the little girl: "Next, you have to make sure that this candle can't be extinguished, can you do it?"
"I can do it, Mom." The little girl took the bone cup confidently and carefully looked at the candle flame inside.
Then the mother pulled up the hood, took the same bone cup, and lit the same white candle.
He walked out of the house with his daughter.
outside the door.
One after another figure, one by one resident.
All were wearing gray and white cloaks with their hoods pulled up.
Holding a bone cup and burning a candle.
Quietly, walking like a ghost in the street filled with mist and strange fragrance.
The mother and daughter also joined the crowd, and they followed the crowd.
The guards of the royal capital can be seen along the street, distributed in the streets and various corners, guiding people to flow in batches and go to different meeting places.
along the way.
No one talks.
Even the breathing became soft, as if worried that the heavy breathing would wake up something.
The little girl looked around curiously, and suddenly saw a familiar face.
She called softly: "Mrs. Bourne."
The lady was in her forties, with gentle facial features, she nodded when she heard the words, but did not respond as usual.
Mother reminded in a low voice from behind: "Li Tan, you can't talk."
"Oh." The little girl lowered her head, a little reluctantly.
They came to a crossroads, and the little girl forgot her mother's advice again.
She raised her little head and asked softly, "Mom, why did the empress summon us?"
The mother looked sad and said: "It should be for the war."
"Mrs. Bourne's husband went to war and hasn't come back yet. I heard that Mr. Bourne may have been killed in the Badari Canyon, hey."
The little girl's eyes became tense: "Brother Wade"
Mother pursed her lips: "It's okay, your brother is very smart, he will come back."
"Brother Rubin and Brother Fricks, will they come back too?" The little girl looked at her mother expectantly.
As if as long as mother said 'yes', those big brothers she liked would come back.
Mother smiled irresistibly: "Yes."
But in her heart, she sighed softly.
this morning.
A list of the dead was sent over.
There, there is the neighbor's eldest son, Rubin, and his good friend, the little lion, Frix.
Fortunately.
Her son Wade was not on the list of killed.
But it is also possible to be missing.
It is possible to become a prisoner of war.
Now all she can do is pray.
Pray for the Queen to bring her son home safely.
next.
The mother and daughter didn't talk any more, they walked silently and arrived at the 'Resurrection Square' in the White City.
On the square, there is a huge 'Gate of the Dead'.
It was a bone door, made of the bones of different creatures.
It is said that when this gate is opened, the fallen 'Underworld Emperor' will return from this gate.
That's why this square is called "Resurrection Square".
In the palace.
Shia Palenque Eggers changed into a gray-white robe with an open neckline, creating an infinite scene.
She is still barefoot.
The robe dances when the wind blows.
A long white leg will appear under the slit of the robe.
tonight.
The 'Pale Queen' covered every part of her body from her face to her legs.
They are all painted with densely packed mysterious symbols.
She looked at the 'Resurrection Square' below, and looked at the gathering places in the city.
Then gently jaw.
"let's start."
"Begin the ceremony."
Not long after.
On Resurrection Square.
Someone played a tune with a strange rhythm and mysterious rhythm on a bone flute.
There were also people standing in the middle of the square, reciting mantras buried in their heads.
Not hard to see.
There are some corpses on the square, and beside the corpses, many skulls are arranged in a circle.
All the skulls were lit with candles, and as the candles flickered, the surroundings were gradually infected with a wild and confused atmosphere.
After the tune rises and the mantra is recited.
People holding bone cups and lighting candles in the square put the things in their hands at their feet.
Then he began to follow the tunes and mantras, dancing a slightly convulsive, slightly crazy strange dance.
Even that little girl seemed to be very familiar with this dance, and she danced it with ease.
She flicked her long hair and let the hood fall off, and she seemed to have some kind of subtle connection with the surrounding environment and atmosphere.
This made her gradually get carried away, and she became frantic. Her movements were obviously a little strange, but her expression looked sacred.
Soul dance!
The entire capital, and all the residents, danced the spirit dance at different gathering places.
