Chapter 351 The Incense Candle Has Been Lit
There is no doubt that when Shuangyue and the Ancient Spirit Monastery came to form an alliance with the lizard people, the kobolds and green gnomes also joined forces.
The eyes that had been burning red under the pressure of cruel reality looked at each other without any hesitation, full of ferocity.
As the leading giant elephant neighed, countless petals of Hell Lycoris flew up and flew in the wind settling in the abyss. The giant beasts gathered into a mighty herd and charged towards them.
The war begins.
Without any words of encouragement or guidance, all the giant beasts have already thrown themselves on the battlefield, regardless of the bloodthirsty thorns and poisonous mist, and have thrown themselves into the fight.
But just when Huai Shi had finished warming up and was about to jump off the city wall, she suddenly heard a whisper from the king.
"You have to stay."
The hoarse voice of nothingness echoed in his ears, making Huai Shi stunned for a moment, and then heard his words: "Take your companions and come to my palace."
"You have other important responsibilities."
Huaishi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his paw, pressed the tip of Jonathan's tail, and staggered the crystal lizard that was about to enter the battlefield.
"follow me."
Huai Shi winked at him, slowly retreated, and quietly exited the battlefield under the guidance of the priests, heading straight for the palace.
In the decadent palace, the stone door of the main hall has been opened.
Those dusty curtains had long been torn away, and the king's throne and the sacred altar were exposed in full view. But unlike in the past, no one except the king dared to stay in the hall.
Countless scarlet flowers of flesh and blood have grown out of the cracks in the stone. The split pieces of flesh and blood are constantly squirming, entangled with each other, and spread throughout every gap.
After looking at it for a long time, it seems that countless vague faces emerge from it, overlap, and merge, glowing and mourning in the fleeting moment.
Those hallucinatory whines overlapped and turned into a solemn and ferocious hymn.
In several huge copper furnaces, the holy oil burned vigorously, and the blood from the gods exuded a fragrant aroma in the fire. The supreme authority was inspired so simply and crudely, and it suppressed the deformed mutations from the abyss, allowing the rickety and emaciated king to maintain a barely human form.
But it's just...it's just a human form.
As the holy oil burned and the incense candles were lit, as if returning to youth, the king's consciousness broke free from the coma of old age, and his face became dignified and majestic.
However, the limbs under the robe were squirming all the time, bursting out with violent changes one after another, and had already been dragged into the abyss by the pervasive erosion.
Just a thin line.
Behind it, on the altar, the shriveled and ugly remains of the god became bright and beautiful.
It's like a work of art carved from glass.
Traces of scarlet blood swam in it, intertwining into ever-changing eyes, scanning the surroundings casually, with an almost eternal coldness and indifference.
It's like a god coming back to life.
But it is indeed resurrected. More or less, that indescribable and terrifying beastiality is quietly running, overlooking everything that is about to be destroyed.
"I always feel like you're up to something."
Huai Shi stopped outside the palace and looked at the king's face: "Is it my imagination?"
"Maybe? But that's not your problem, is it?"
On the throne, the king glanced at him with a half-smile, his twitching and deformed fingers wrapped around the scepter beside his knees, squirming from time to time like the tentacles of some deep-sea creature.
It exudes a strange aura.
"I'm not boasting. I'm probably one of the best fighters in this corner of the world, right?" Huai Shi dug her claws between her teeth: "Did you want to bring me back from the battlefield at such a critical juncture? Can I give you a compliment?"
"You have other missions, you just need to wait with peace of mind... If I say this, you won't buy it, right?"
The king looked at Huai Shi's appearance and said calmly: "In short, I need you to protect me...to protect this country, as you can see."
"Is the job of the imperial guard too leisurely?" Huai Shi asked, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
"Don't worry, soon, it will be busier here than outside."
The king's gaze passed over them and turned to the dead city outside the palace gate, his last piece of land, and whispered softly: "Soon, all of this will be immersed in destruction..."
boom!
Accompanied by the king's whisper, a roaring sound suddenly erupted from the silent capital. Huge gaps continued to emerge from the ground, swallowing up towering and overlapping buildings. Countless collapses were heard with loud noises. set off.
And in the cracks that suddenly collapsed everywhere, ferocious giant beasts emerged from them. Just the moment they appeared, they caused tragic deaths and injuries in this city filled with many mortal creatures.
The chants, groans and even desperate cries stopped suddenly, and in the dead silence there was only the roar of the giant beasts.
The sudden attack caused heavy damage to the royal city in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, there was an earth-shaking loud noise from the direction of the city wall.
With the impact of a huge and bloated bull, under the cover of many giant beasts, the giant bull hit the thick gates with the sound of wind.
The city wall shook but was not damaged at all.
But then, terrifying fire burst out from the giant bull's suddenly expanding body. Under the transformation of scholars, all its fats have been transformed into biological explosives that are tens of thousands of times more intense than nitroglycerin.
At this moment, as the giant bull exploded, the last defense of the lizardman country collapsed.
The battle lines collapsed.
When they realized that someone was stealing from their home behind them, all the giant beasts came back without caring about their own safety, and fought with the enemies who had rushed into the royal capital.
Huai Shi was stunned.
Looking back in shock.
Completely, unbelievably.
"You expected this?"
The king did not speak, but lowered his eyes and stared at the silk book sent by Guling Monastery.
It is not so much a letter of alliance as an unseen petition and supplication.
Long before this, except for the lizard people and the Ancient Spirit Monastery, the remaining three factions had formed an alliance through the cooperation of caring people.
As the biggest inducement, a certain husky, who was still looking confused, had not yet figured out how much of a crisis his existence caused to others.
The first to bear the brunt as the enemy of the Alliance is the last city-state of the lizard people.
The three families worked together to completely eradicate this BUG and this enemy. Then, it was the turn of the weak Guling Monastery.
With no other choice, the Ancient Spirit Monastery chose to reveal this secret to the lizard people in exchange for a short-term alliance.
Otherwise, after the Lizardmen are destroyed, one's fate will be clearly arranged.
But even if an alliance is formed, two against three, the outcome is still very different.
I just hope that I can make the final resistance before the fish is dead and the net is broken, even if we die together.
Under the pressure of doomsday, even such a crazy decision seemed to become logical.
At this moment, the country that has inherited three eras roars with its final cry.
Countless lizardmen fled in embarrassment between the buildings, and were trampled into mud without mercy. Even the aftermath of destruction was still enough to overturn the ants.
A devastating disaster.
Looking at the tragic scenes in the distant city, Huaishi couldn't help but want to leave, but she heard the king's cold voice.
"Don't worry about it."
Among the countless flowers of flesh and blood, the deformed king said indifferently: "A small impatience will mess up a big plan... Great spirits, that is not your mission."
Huai Shi turned around and looked at the indifferent face.
Completely incomprehensible.
"Aren't they all your subjects?" he asked in a low voice, "Don't you feel pain?"
Even the most crazy careerist knows where his power comes from, right?
Regardless of whether you are a wise king or a foolish tyrant, the moment you become a ruler, you should instinctively be aware of the foundation on which your royal power rests.
Whether it is to maintain their own rights, or whether it is the unbearable pity and anger of others of the same kind.
Why would someone make such a choice?
From the distance came cries, whines, and final prayers.
The king was dismissive.
It's like there's no way to notice it.
Just aloof.
Overlooking everything, watching his subjects sink in blood and fire.
Finally, he looked at Huai Shi and asked calmly and indifferently.
"Do I have to cry bitterly, beat my chest, and then swear an oath while vomiting blood?" He calmly retracted his gaze, "This country does not need such a performance, and this world does not need it... Could it be that as a messenger of the gods, you, the great spirit Don’t you understand the truth?”
Huai Shi was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Did you let them in on purpose?"
The king said nothing.
Huaishi didn't ask again.
Hear the roar of giant beasts fighting in the distance.
There were constant roars of falling to the ground, and the giant beasts that were defeated in the fight fell to the ground, but were immediately covered by flowers of flesh and blood that suddenly grew out of the soil, devoured them, and turned into piles of withered bones.
That is the Hand of the King.
It was a limb that had become one with the country after being imprisoned by its own throne for a long time. A deformed monster formed by the union of the king and the kingdom.
A deformed monster that everyone ignores and doesn't even care about.
No, it should be said... Now this is the most terrifying opponent in the eternal war, right?
Those raging deformed flesh and wriggling flowers of flesh and blood even rushed into the battlefield between the cracks in the ground along the broken city walls, greedily devouring every living thing they came into contact with, whether it was thorns or flowers, and turned them into Its appetite.
Its enemies opened the walls that sealed it and released it from its prison.
Even before it came to the door, it had already fallen into the trap.
Accompanied by the vague wails of countless faces, solemn hymns were played again from under the sky. In each flower of flesh and blood, a miserable and desperate face appeared, staring towards the sky, the slits of flesh and blood opened and closed, chanting piously. Chanting, ferocious roars, desperate screams or numb prayers...
It's growing.
On the throne, the king finally raised his scepter towards his country.
As a result, countless bloody lights fell from the sky.
The power drawn from death and killing is imparted unreservedly to the great spirit of every lizardman. It is the power of evolution after being transformed by the divine skeleton and stripped of all aberrations and abyssal infection.
In an instant, they ushered in another transformation.
The first among them is Huai Shi.
Power dozens of times stronger than that of others poured into his body, roughly stimulating his evolution and making him scream to the sky.
The roar was like thunder.
By the way, the title of this chapter is an aria from the Italian opera "Lucia di Lammerme". It actually doesn't have much meaning, I just think it's just right and fashionable.
