Act 5 The Holy Wall of Eruin
The thin golden threads in the sky finally connected with the vast horizon, and the fragments of the moon fell to the ground one after another. Not only in the Banker area, not even just in the Cruz Empire, but in every corner of Warnd, disaster struck at the same time. .
Burning debris passed over the forest, and the forest immediately turned into a sea of fire. The native inhabitants of the forest - gray deer, badgers, bears and other wild animals fled in panic.
The residents of the town watched helplessly as rats ran into the streets in droves, crawling all over the streets as if they were crazy, dogs were barking, and wild cats and domestic cats all climbed onto the roofs, making strange howling sounds like spring.
A bunch of golden threads crossed the sky and fell into the horizon. A spot of light lit up in the distance. After a moment, two or three spots of light shone densely into one.
The shock wave arrived a few seconds later, and the area slightly closer to the point of fall was directly vaporized. Any wooden objects, including the trees themselves, instantly caught fire and were completely oxidized into char within a few seconds. People and livestock were directly transformed into coke. It turned into dust, and the high temperature licked the ground, and the quartz in the sand immediately crystallized to form shiny glass.
A little further away, the air flow formed a hurricane and passed through the town, rolling up all the bits and pieces. The tinplate signboards made a clanking sound desperately, and the streets were full of people's screams, shouts, and cries. The sound of bottles and cans being broken. People saw the air waves rolling up smoke and dust miles high, lakes and rivers being sucked up to the sky by the tornado, and then falling back down, and dead fish clattering on the roofs.
In some places, as burning debris swept across the sky, thousands of miles of swamps and lakes were evaporated, hot air rose rapidly, and then fell in torrential rain and hail, and the temperature on the ground quickly dropped. In the blink of an eye, it was covered with ice and snow, and a blizzard roared in.
In Rokochi, the Black Fire Cultists even took to the streets to celebrate, but they soon alerted the local garrison, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, which resulted in rivers of blood.
The largest meteorite flew over the heads of both parties. The high temperature ignited everything that could be ignited. Even metal turned into juice and fell to the ground before solidifying again. Most of the robes worn by cultists were woven from linen, and their ignition point was even lower——
Balls of fireballs were wailing and rolling on the ground, or running all over the streets. The water wells had long evaporated, and even the entire street was a scene of scorching hell.
The destructive air wave took away everything in an instant. The meteorite crashed towards the junction of the Broken Sword Mountains, and the explosion triggered a horrific geological disaster - a volcanic eruption. Then came the earthquake, the ground subsided, mountains and rivers moved, and thousands of miles around were reduced to ruins. Villages, towns, humans and livestock were all buried.
Half an hour later, a brand new rift valley appeared on the map, spanning hundreds of miles, and even caused the sublime inner sea to pour in. A future lake gradually takes shape.
The province of Rokochi completely disappeared from the empire's territory.
At the same time, 1.3 million people living here disappeared.
But in Eruin. But it was another story.
Freya, who was awakened by the nightmare, heard the screams in the yard outside, put on her clothes and opened the window. It was one or two o'clock in the morning, but the sky was shining with fiery red light.
A bunch of shining light spots are passing through the clouds, falling towards the Mintai, Gendener, and Anlek Plateau in the north, or falling towards the Karasu, Golan-Elsen and Viero Territory in the east.
A larger flare is parting the clouds overhead. The golden-red clouds were like flowing oil, cut in the middle by a blazing sharp knife. This burning fire path extended forward, pointing straight to the black forest south of the fir collar.
As it passed over the Grahal Ridge, the mountain was lit by dapples of fire. The servants were running around the yard like headless flies, shouting, and the servant women were carrying basins to get water, because the stables were already burning.
Freya stood at the window and frowned, shouting: "Bring out my horse, I'm going to Valhalla to see Her Highness the Princess. The others organized people to put out the fire, and the remaining people went to open the cellar and let the woman Hide underground first with your children."
As soon as she finished speaking, a strange scene appeared.
Between the mountains of Chablis, above the lake surrounded by quiet forests, a beam of light rises from the center of the lake and reaches the sky; then south of Toniguer, in the direction of the Ring of Trade Winds, a second beam of light rises rising.
Near Braggs, in the valley where the Saint's Relic is located, the third beam of light rose. Then a beam of light rose up from each of Sifah, Gray Mountain, Corcova, Jeandenel, and Lantonilan.
Eight beams of light shine permanently in the night sky, supporting the sky of Eruin.
A moment later, a series of dense flashes of light erupted above the clouds, and the falling debris in the sky seemed to hit an invisible cover.
Over Fir Castle, a golden ring of flames was spreading, the sky was roaring, and the falling meteorites were falling apart.
This was followed by a series of denser explosions. The clouds seemed to be ignited, and strong winds blew down from the sky. There was immediately a dense sound of tiles falling off in the castle, and the surrounding black pine forests fell like wheat fields in autumn. one slice.
The servants' eyes reflected the strange scene in the night sky, and they were stunned for a moment, and Freya was also silent for a while. She gave another order to the servant to lead her horse out, then closed the window and returned to the house.
Su Su opened the door and walked in.
She placed her folded military uniform in her hand. Freya glanced at her gratefully, took the clothes from the latter's hand, and said while changing out of her nightgown, "Thank you, Sue."
Su walked around behind her, held up the Valkyrie's long hair with his hands, and carefully braided it into fine braids. This was a trivial move, but Su's hands were extremely deft, and she looped the braids around Fleur. Behind Ya's ear, he stopped.
Freya felt her movement and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
"Are we going to die, Miss Freya?"
"Everyone will die, princes, generals, traffickers and pawns. One day they will not be able to escape the judgment of time."
"My father once said that after death, a person will gradually lose himself, and his name will gradually fade in the memories of his relatives, and finally disappear from this world completely. When I was a child, I had many relatives, but they were all dead, and most of them were Partly, I don’t remember the name either... Miss Freya, if I die one day, will you remember me?"
Freya turned back and looked at Leto's daughter. "Why do you think so?" She then thought of something: "Is it because of the invasion of the undead?"
"I've been dreaming a lot lately about my father and I escaping from Lidenburg."
"It was a scary experience, but thank you for saving me, Sue."
Su was speechless.
After being silent for a while, she said silently: "I like you, Miss Freya."
"I like you too. Su, we have been friends for a long time, haven't we." Freya smiled slightly, and she immediately fell silent again, thinking of the scene in the nightmare, and she was worried.
Su continued to braid her hair silently.
"Su, your braids are so good. I'm almost used to having you by my side." Freya suddenly thought of her aunt's family again.
"Um."
…
Half an hour ago, the first meteorite finally visited Rushta, the thousand-year-old imperial capital.
The fragment carried a long tail flame and high temperature, spinning and falling on the outskirts of the city, completely evaporating a nearby river. The subsequent shock wave hit the Holy White Wall of Rushta more than ten miles away.
Thousands of years later, Akroma's blessing once again protected the city. A bright halo lit up on the white wall, offsetting nearly two-thirds of the impact. The remaining aftermath spread into the city, directly zoning half of the southern city. For white ground.
The three canals in the city boiled and evaporated in an instant, hot water vapor rose into the sky, and fires ignited everywhere. Thick smoke forms, mixed with water vapor. Shrouded over the entire outer city.
In the Shoemaker's Quarter, next to the Tudor River, between the sixteen and nineteen oak trees, there is a Hespide's fish shop. The owner of the shop is a country bumpkin from Paixil - a man who combines the pride of the imperial capital. Name, mainly engaged in the transshipment and management of aquatic products in the Inland Sea and the Imperial Capital. Because he monopolized the business of the nobles, he was quite famous.
When the disaster occurred, this prestigious old store, like most of the shops on this street, was reduced to a sea of flames, amidst a creaking sound. It collapsed suddenly. Fortunately, the owner of the shop went on vacation in Bai Fenglin outside the city that night and managed to escape.
After the fire burned for a few minutes, the stone door of the nearby cellar was opened by a dusty little hand, and a little boy crawled out. He fell to the ground and couldn't help but jump because of the heat.
Behind him, another tall young man climbed out, and then a girl with thick eyebrows.
The three of them took out pots and other utensils from under the cellar, hurried to the nearby Dude River to fill the fire with water, and then began to put out the fire. After the fire was extinguished, they hurriedly opened up the hot bricks and wood, and took out various kinds of aquatic products that were mostly cooked and charred from under the ruins of the aquatic product store.
The fish were filled into several wooden boxes, and then they climbed back into the cellar with the boxes.
There are seven or eight people sitting below the cellar, both men and women. Among them is a young man wearing a black robe of a secret cultist. He has curly hair and is covered with sweat. He also has a thick hood on the robe. Pulled off.
When the girl with thick eyebrows climbed down from the ladder, he was still loudly preaching to others: "Lord Akroma has arrived, and the flame of vengeance will evolve everything."
The girl with thick eyebrows stood aside holding the box, listening to these words with interest.
Then came the big young man. When he came down, he gave the young man a hard look and said, "Shut up."
"How can you shut me up?" the young man said angrily: "Are you a lackey of Her Majesty the Queen?"
"The old grandmother is a believer in the Temple of Fire. She has been a devout believer in Lord Martha for eighty years. If you say these nonsense in front of her again, do you believe that I will throw you out?" the big man said in a serious tone. : "Don't forget who took you in."
"We are just staying temporarily." Someone said dissatisfied.
"Then you are going out now?"
The speaker immediately fell silent. They did not come in to avoid the meteorite, but were driven in by the wolves summoned by Kou Hua. Unexpectedly, they escaped. Grandma Ogis was usually hostile to them because of her firm belief in the temple. But when she let them in for refuge earlier, the eighty-year-old old man who was already blind didn't say a single extra word. He just asked his grandson to open the door. Cellar door.
Everyone knew that the old lady's son also died in the war in the south not long ago, and she and her grandson were dependent on each other. The owner of Hespide Aquatic Products Store took pity on the two grandsons and vacated the cellar for them to live in for free. And being at the bottom of society in this era, it is impossible to be picky about accommodation conditions.
The little boy finally climbed down and looked at so many people in the cellar with his mouth closed, seeming to be a bit disappointed. He silently walked to his grandmother, who smiled and patted him on the back: "Go and pour some water for everyone."
"There is not much water left, Grandma Ogis. The river outside is almost dry." The big man replied with a frown.
"You have to drink water. There has to be a way. Let's go. Everyone's mouths are dry." The old man looked straight at the air in front of him with his cloudy eyes, as if there was something there, and smiled slightly on his wrinkled face. He replied.
The big man stopped talking. He was the apprentice of old Hespide, and the girl with thick eyebrows was the daughter of the owner of the fish shop. In fact, both of them had nothing to do with the old grandmother.
The water was put in a dried clay jar, less than one-third of the water was shallow. The little boy stood on tiptoe with a wooden spoon and each took a spoonful. The big man saw the way he was struggling and walked over to take the wooden spoon. Spoon, pour half of the water in the spoon, and hand it to the secret priest.
The latter glared at him, but did not dare to get angry. He silently took the spoon and drank.
Everyone fell silent and drank water silently.
When Hipamila opened her eyes, she saw exactly this scene——
"Are you awake?" The girl with thick eyebrows has been staring at Hipamila.
In fact, it is difficult for anyone not to notice such an exquisite person - a head of beautiful golden curly hair, skin as white as porcelain, lips as red as cherries, a upturned nose, dotted with some light freckles, both playful and cute.
After seeing the other person blinking, she opened her eyes slightly, her eyes were hazy and hazy, and her long eyelashes were as thick and neat as a brush, and she couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the other person.
"Oh my god, how could there be such a beautiful person? She must be the daughter of those nobles in the inner city."
The girl with thick eyebrows wondered in her mind.
"Where is this place?" Hipamilla asked weakly as she was drowsily asleep. Fortunately, she at least remembered what happened before she fell into coma. She was injured while avoiding the pursuit of Dragon Queen Gwendolyn. Hurt, I just don’t know why the other party suddenly abandoned her.
