Chapter 791 Return to the Tower of Babel
Helfas assigned two tasks overnight.
One was for the Sealed Court and the Dragon Court, and the other was for the High Sky Court.
The task of the Sealed Court and the Dragon Court was to go back and send troops immediately, and to wipe out the few forces headed by those who were preparing to harm Helfas tonight as quickly as possible.
With the real name of the seal given by Helfas, break through their city, seize their seal, and destroy their family.
This order can be said to be ruthless, even cruel.
But the effect is very significant.
"Boom boom boom."
One legion after another quickly set out, traveling through the wilderness, huge dragon beasts ran wildly on the ground in groups, and the mountains seemed to be shaking.
These teams were not particularly large, but they were all very elite without exception.
There were dragon beast cavalry, infantry, and demon hunters.
There are different divisions and combinations under the three major types. The war between dragon people has evolved to a mature stage after more than 800 years and many eras. The fighting and competition among towns, city-states, and countries are no longer as open as in the Dragon King era, but very tragic and cruel.
These ruling noble forces that control one side are being eliminated every year, and the owners of various towns are constantly replaced. Especially in recent years, without the deterrence of the Dragon King, the ruling power of the Full Moon King has been declining, and this situation has become more serious.
The major nobles and city lords attacked and annexed each other, and the situation became more and more serious. A large number of small nobles and lords gradually disappeared, and powerful city-state forces emerged.
This is also one of the reasons why more and more city lords do not go to worship the Full Moon King.
Because they have more trump cards and stronger military forces.
But at this moment,
These rulers, who were so arrogant that they had forgotten the name of the Full Moon King and even the Dragon King, finally felt the memory of their ancestors trembling under the power and name of the Dragon King in their blood. They recalled that the Dragon King's dominance over the world was not only based on virtue, but also had the power and means to suppress everything.
Towns were attacked with unprecedented force without any reaction.
Lords stood on the top of the city and were scared to death when they saw the surging dragon beast army.
The largest of these dragon beasts can reach a length of more than ten meters. With special equipment, a collision can directly knock down the city wall, and the remaining infantry will immediately rush in to occupy the city.
In fact, most people surrendered instantly when they saw this scene, before the army rushed to them.
Some cities saw the dragon beast cavalry and the reorganized demon hunting group, and looked up at the sky, where there were still several terrifying black iron dragons circling.
There was no longer any desire to fight.
The oil bread farmer's hat and the seals produced in the villages and towns were detained one after another, the rulers of the city handed over the control of the bronze dragon king statue, and various seals fell into the hands of the Sealed Court Legion.
Of course, some people reacted immediately.
Not everyone completely believed in the ancient legend. Even if the legend was true, they would not sit and wait for death. The so-called sacredness was not worth mentioning in front of the family's interests.
They immediately organized and launched a counterattack against the Sealed Court Coalition and the Dragon Court Coalition that attacked.
The demon hunters holding the seals led the infantry to form a battle array, and groups of dragon beast cavalry were eyeing them openly and secretly, and fought a big battle with the army sent by the Sealed Court outside the city.
Just a face-to-face encounter.
The seals of their demon hunter legion were taken away, their legion was overwhelmed, and their dragon beast cavalry had no time to launch an attack and could only flee.
In this era, the strongest individual power is the dragon, but not every force and family has it, and those arrogant dragon professionals may not obey your orders.
Next, it was the demon hunters who held the seals. Individually, they were not as powerful as dragons, but in groups, dragons could only flee.
Some powerful seals also had the power to make dragons enter reincarnation on the spot.
However, Helfas had already arranged the routes and directions for attacking these cities that night, and told the attacking teams one by one about the real names of the cities and the main seals held by the city lords that belonged to their attack routes.
From the beginning, the outcome of this war was doomed.
The seals were lost, and the demon hunters were killed and captured.
Without the seals and demon hunters, how could the dragon beast cavalry alone resist the seals and the strange supernatural power.
No matter how huge the body is, it is not as big as the strange, not to mention the undead characteristics and supernatural abilities.
Although these dragon beast cavalry regiments escaped with their speed, it was useless to escape back to the city.
Soon.
The enemy began to attack the city. The walls of the extraordinary world were useful, but they were not so effective against the legions that could tame large dragon beasts or even have dragon professionals.
They didn't hold on for long before the city was broken and people died, or they fled again.
Some people opened the city gates to escape, and the owner of the city was captured or killed directly.
And then.
Another task of Helfas was what he told Night Light and the Court of the Sky to do next.
Night Light arranged for all the captives or those who surrendered to come to Black Iron City, and had people escort them to Black Iron City in full moon land, and even let these people walk slower or turn around a few more times.
At the same time, he also asked groups of people to hold various flags and pretend to run to Black Iron City day and night to join the Black King.
For a time, a name echoed everywhere in the entire western part of the Full Moon Land.
The Black King.
Looking at the overwhelming captives, surrendered people, and worshippers, and the news of the tragic end of the disloyalty and the murderers of the Dragon King that came from everywhere.
The rulers and nobles of the entire western part of the Full Moon Land were terrified.
At the same time, they also understood that the sky here had changed.
People's hearts were floating, and all the families, big and small, were discussing what to do next. They all knew that the moment to determine the critical fate of themselves and their families had come.
"Look, they are all going to pay homage to the Black King."
"This is the real Dragon King coming to the world, don't hesitate any longer, City Lord."
"Chief, if you hesitate any longer, the family will be finished."
"Didn't you see the fate of those who dared to confront the Black King?"
"Even the Full Moon King trembles at the name of the Black King. He went crazy without even seeing the Black King. Now he is being dragged to the East Coast. What are you waiting for at this time?"
"Go to pay homage to the Black King, the only master of this land."
"Let's go. We are the descendants of his loyal subjects. Now that the Black King has returned, we must return to his command."
All the ambitious people, all the wavering ones.
They all left the city to surrender to the army of the Sealed Court, and even came all the way to surrender, and took these people to attack the guys around who surrendered a step later.
The western region of the Full Moon Land, which was originally arguing about whether the Black King would return, is now full of loyal subjects, all of whom are descendants of heroes who have been loyal to the Black King for more than 800 years.
When they talk, they all say that their ancestors once followed Helfas or received favors from Lord Helfas, and they have some kind of relationship.
If someone dares to question, they will immediately draw their swords and fight to the death.
These people who came to seek refuge were first recruited by the coalition forces of the Sealed Court and the Dragon Court in front, and then they were arranged to be sent to the Black Iron City, and then they took people to the Black Iron City to pay homage to Helfas.
When they came to the Black Iron City to pay homage.
Helfas was high above the hall and accepted their worship and met them.
In the end, these people were also received by the Night Lights of the High Sky Court and their power was integrated.
Without exception, Helfas took away most of the demon hunters and seals under these people on the spot and put them under the control of the Sealed Court.
As for all the dragon professionals, they are naturally controlled and called by the Dragon Court.
But their territories and ordinary armies.
Most of the people who came to surrender at the first time were basically retained, and Helfas did not take them away.
Some of those who came a step later were taken away and temporarily under the jurisdiction of the High Sky Court.
The latest ones, especially those who were still hesitating when the army arrived at the city, or surrendered only after the war started.
Helfas took away most of their territories or even all of their territories and cities, and asked them to fight with the Sealed Court, and their future fate would be determined by their subsequent merits and efforts.
Regardless of what the other nobles in the western part of the Full Moon Land did, the two largest forces, Bronze City and Silver City, never made any movement.
The city lord who now controls Bronze City is a descendant of the coin minter family in the Salun era.
The people who controlled Silver City were actually a group of great nobles from the east, who were arranged by the second generation of the Full Moon King to seize control of the city. They were a nail that the Full Moon Dynasty had inserted here, and at the same time, a chess piece to exert influence.
However, it has been several generations, and it is hard to say how loyal they are to the Full Moon Dynasty.
Helfas did not give the two people much time to choose.
When the overall situation was settled, Helfas issued an ultimatum to Bronze City and Silver City.
The city-state forces to which Bronze City belonged chose to surrender to the Black King in hesitation, and the city lord took all his children to Black Iron City to worship the Black King.
But Silver City still did not move, as if it did not know that the Black King had returned.
And it was also at this time that someone reported to the Black King that Silver City had previously sent a silver dragon to Black Iron City to harm the Black King, or even to assassinate the Black King, but it was unsuccessful.
For a while, the entire Black Iron City was boiling.
——
Outside Black Iron City.
The palace that used to entertain guests and perform sacrifices has now been completely cleaned up and has become the place where Helfas lives.
The crowd gathered in the square outside. Although they could not see the Black King directly, their voices were loud and clear.
"Assassinate the Dragon King, the Lord of Silver City?" Some people couldn't believe the news. That was Silver City. Shouldn't they be the first to come to the Black King?
"Even if the Bahabeli Dragon King is resurrected, he will kill all these traitors." Some people were extremely angry and their faces were red.
"How dare they." Someone drew his sword and shouted.
"These people are the minions of the Full Moon King. Silver City is no longer the Silver City it used to be." They couldn't wait to see the Black King and show their determination to kill all those minions.
"I will lead people to kill all these guys and make everyone who dares to do harm to the Dragon King pay the price." Everyone was furious, but under the surface of the angry crowd, what kind of heart was there? Know.
The city-state power represented by Silver City is one of the three most powerful forces in the western region. Once this power falls, the territory and power left behind will be enough to feed everyone, which is a huge benefit.
And this time.
Night Light met Helfas alone in the empty palace and reported the matter to him.
Helfas didn't care too much about the other party trying to kill him. He just roughly knew that after this incident, Silver City would not be easily captured.
Helfas thought about it for a while and then made up his mind: "Mobilize the strongest force that can be mobilized to surround Silver City. At the critical moment, I will come to take action and take away these people's sealed artifacts."
Night Light was very excited: "You want to take action too?"
Hulfas: "To give other people some confidence, I have to show up once and let everyone see me, and at the same time shock the next people."
"In this way, using the fastest and strongest means to solve the problem can also reduce the difficulties we face in the future and save a few lives."
He looked at the night light: "So it must be foolproof. Once I take action, it will represent everyone's attention. If I fail, all the prestige and power we have accumulated may even collapse."
Night Light nodded: "I understand. I will immediately summon Nathanico and the Hriban brothers and sisters to come see you."
Silver City.
Large armies under the command of the Court of Seals gathered towards the city-state forces represented by Silver City. Because there were too many people coming this time, these legions were already marching forward carrying the bronze Dragon King statue.
And here, they faced the most intense resistance.
There were not only various dragon beast cavalry regiments, but also a large number of sealed objects that had never been heard of before, and there were even many dragons appearing here.
The dragons fought in the sky, various sealed object corps and demon hunters lined up on the ground to fight, and the overwhelming dragon beast cavalry began to clash.
The metal dragon fell to the ground and crushed through the forest, causing the forest to overturn; it was swept into the river, causing huge waves; and the ground was instantly ignited with the thunder and fire it spit out.
The light of various sealed objects flickered, and some people in the military formation used the ability to become alive. The monsters roared, and the roar shook the sky.
Groups of dragon beasts rushed past under the control of the cavalry, and the ground trembled, leaving behind a bloody battlefield.
The severity of it.
In a daze, everyone seemed to have returned to the battle between dragons more than a hundred years ago.
This is also the first truly difficult war that the Sealed Court and the Dragon Court have encountered since they were established.
However, due to Helfas's arrangement, the entire western part of the Full Moon Land has been almost completely pacified in the blink of an eye. How could Silver City alone be able to resist the army of the Sealed Court, let alone the continuous influx of troops and soldiers? Demon hunters, even dragons.
They asked for help from the outside world, but it was too late, and no one dared to save them at this time.
In the end, the cities under Silver City were attacked or surrendered one by one, and only one remained.
At this time, they were still trying to break out of the siege.
They fled with all the information of Silver City, and all the bronze Dragon King statues in Silver City, and fled back to the eastern area of the Land of the Full Moon. They did not care about what would happen after taking away so many bronze Dragon King statues from the city. .
However, as soon as they rushed out, they were forced back by the overwhelming dragon professionals, demon hunting regiments and dragon beast cavalry.
The army besieged the city.
The seemingly solid city seemed to be swaying at the moment and could collapse at any time.
outside the city.
The demon hunting group and the infantry legion surrounded it. The huge dragon beast wore a siege cone-like helmet and heavy armor and roared, ready to find the weak point of the city wall and hit it at any time.
Dragons were hanging in the sky, staring eagerly below.
Inside the city.
A large number of soldiers are preparing with city defense equipment, and various killing weapons aimed at large dragon beasts are set up with a faint cold light. There are also demon hunting groups and dragon beast cavalry groups in the city waiting secretly near the city gate, ready to attack at any time. Let the attackers outside know how powerful you are.
In the corner, there is a dragon professional who is ready to take action at any time. He rushes out of the city and transforms into a dragon to kill important members of the enemy legion.
Dawn.
Just now, the second breakout organized by Silver City failed.
After the army outside the city attacked the city for a while, they finally had to retreat due to the suppressive power of the Bronze Dragon King and the casualties caused by various defensive methods.
However, these retreating soldiers did not leave, but stood nearby, as if waiting for something.
The defenders in the city were a little strange when they saw this scene.
"What are they standing there for?"
"If you don't attack the city, just watch?"
"There can't be any conspiracy!"
At this time, in the eyes of some dragon professionals, they finally felt that something was wrong.
Light appeared in the sky.
In the light, a mysterious being wearing a black cloak and holding a metal book appeared, and instantly the defenders outside let out a strong cheer.
Even if ordinary people can't see the shape of the shadow, they can see the robe. From a distance, it feels almost like seeing the outline of a real person.
"It's the Dragon King."
"The Black Iron Dragon King."
"He's here, we're sure to win."
The overwhelming cheers seemed to overturn the Silver City to the ground.
All the soldiers and demon hunters outside the city looked at the figure enthusiastically, some were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes, and even the dragons roared one after another, bowing their heads and cheering for that existence.
Hearing the cheers and looking at the dragons bowing their heads and cheering, the defenders in the city didn't know who was coming.
For those outside, it was the Dragon King who came, and victory was a foregone conclusion.
But for them, it was like the end of the world.
"It's the Black King."
"It's the Dragon King who came."
"He came in person?"
When the soldiers heard the name, they were so scared that they trembled. Some even put down their weapons and turned around to run away. Almost everyone showed a desperate expression.
It is estimated that when Helfas first came to this era, he didn't expect his name to have such power.
A name can make the King of Kings crazy, make millions of people bow their heads, and make all living beings dare not look at each other.
It's just a name.
Helfas appeared in the sky, and when he waved his hand, a strong wind swept over the sky of Silver City.
The clouds rose and spread.
Helfas merged into the clouds, and swept across the earth like a wind god.
Helfas's soul body came down in person, holding the Book of Seals and passing over the Silver City at a low altitude of more than ten meters. Although the second-level peak seal on his body was suppressed, it still had some power, and the Book of Seals was not weakened too much.
As he passed by, all the seals in the city floated up one by one.
Since the Sealed Court kept taking away the seals, Silver City began to guard against such things and would not easily use the seals outside. Among them, there were a large number of seals that were originally hidden in Silver City and unknown to outsiders.
But at this moment, there was no secret in front of the figure holding the Book of Seals.
It was taken away by the Black King in an instant.
Although Helfas could only control a few seals to fight, he was not going to fight with them at this moment. Instead, he used the Book of Seals and the wind to pull up the seals one by one, which was much simpler.
Others needed various means to snatch the seals, and they had to touch them physically, but Helfas could take them away with the Book of Seals in his hand as long as he had a thought, without even touching them.
The densely packed seals followed him, as if they were following their real masters, turning into a vortex and heading towards the sky.
"How is this possible?"
"Miracle, miracle!"
"The seals are gone, taken away by the Black King."
"He is the king who brought the seals to the world. Who can use the seals in front of him?"
"It's over, we are completely finished."
In the Silver City, many people were in a state of confusion when they saw this scene.
Many soldiers and demon hunters completely collapsed and no longer had the will to resist.
Even if they could sacrifice their lives for their masters and families for glory and loyalty, they still saw the Dragon King descend and take away the seal of a city with a wave of his hand. Such a scene still directly crushed their hearts.
They felt that they were not fighting against people or dragons, but against the world and the laws.
Some gods wanted to chase them, jumped down from the city wall, turned into several silver dragons and led a group of people to the sky, as if they wanted to defeat the soul that controlled the seal and take back what "belonged to them".
But the overwhelming black iron dragons pressed down from the heights, and they could only watch their seals being taken away.
This was equivalent to completely shouting the signal to resume the war, and the overwhelming army outside the city surged up.
This time.
There was no more resistance in the city. They had no way to escape, and could only surrender in batches.
Several silver dragons wanted to fly away in the chaos, but were eventually overwhelmed by a large number of dragon professionals.
All were captured.
Among them was the silver-robed man who wanted to assassinate Helfas before.
After the war.
The silver-robed man was brought to Helfas. There was not a single piece of good meat on his body, and his flesh and blood exuded a strange silver light.
He was tied and dragged to Helfas.
In the Dragon Palace of Silver City.
The illusory shadow of Helfas stood under the statue of the Silver Dragon King Bahabeli, and a bronze coffin was placed not far away.
The moment he saw Helfas's figure, the silver dragon immediately let out a shrill roar.
"What kind of dragon king are you? Look at how many people have died because of you?"
"Why do you want to come back to this world? What are you doing back?"
He seemed a little indignant.
He thought that the man in front of him was the culprit of everything and the source of the disaster.
Helfas originally wanted to know why a silver dragon wanted to kill him, but at this moment, when he saw the other's eyes, he knew it and felt a little boring.
He looked up at the statue of Bahabeli. In his impression, he was just a child, a young guard.
But in the eyes of others, he was a dragon king who opened the era of silver and killing monsters.
He said: "I just want to end this chaos."
Silver Dragon: "But isn't this what you brought about?"
"Your existence has given countless people ambitions, and your arrival has made people uneasy and panicked."
Helfas did not deny that although all this was not what he wanted, it was indeed caused by him.
"So I want to pacify it."
Helfas looked into the eyes of the silver dragon and said: "I can't change my existence in this world, nor can I change my influence on this land, so I can only control this influence in the direction I hope."
"I am not as great as you think, nor am I omnipotent. I don't want to do great things, but I have my persistence and faith."
"Things started because of me, I will solve them; disasters came because of me, I will never retreat."
"And you, do you have persistence and faith?"
"Why do you kill me?"
The silver dragon was stunned.
And Helfas turned his back and gave an order under the statue of the silver dragon king Bahabeli.
"Send him into reincarnation."
After Helfas understood the reason, he ordered him to be killed and the dragon egg to be sent back to the Dragon Court for arrangement.
With this, the entire western part of the full moon land.
It was also the place that Helfas had walked through and was most familiar with, and all of them returned to his command again.
——
After the battle in Silver City ended.
A figure was walking towards the temple.
Helfas stepped on the stairs and passed through a skylight. The strange whispering sound kept coming from his ears while he walked. He walked straight to the altar on the top of the temple and looked at the seven statues surrounding it.
Helfas stretched out his hand and started the ceremony in the altar.
"Buzz~"
The power of prayer leads to the dream world, calling to a place called Babel.
"Babel!"
The moment the name was read.
A powerful force was invested and locked onto Helfas.
His body remained in the same place, but his consciousness was in a trance and dizzy and appeared in a strange place, the top of the Tower of Babel.
The stars and the sun were lined up above his head, and an ancient and gorgeous round stone table was placed in front of him.
The hollow armchair with seven different logos was still there, and more importantly, the cup on the table was still motionless.
He immediately turned his sight and looked at the center of the table.
It was an hourglass.
Just looking at the hourglass, Helfas's original expectation was gradually disappointed.
"Hasn't it started yet?"
"Why hasn't it started yet?"
"More than 800 years, almost 900 years."
He was a little excited while speaking.
Because he had been waiting for too long, and he had been longing for too long.
Helfas couldn't wait to come here, just because he was afraid that he would be late, and now it seems that he thought too much.
Eight or nine hundred years ago.
The sand in the hourglass has almost flowed out, leaving only the last handful.
And after the eras of Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Full Moon Dynasties, it is still sliding down quietly.
It seemed that in front of the immortals who participated in this roundtable meeting, in front of those beings who overlooked the evolution of the world, the long time he thought he had traveled through seemed extremely short and insignificant, and the changes in civilization and history were not worth mentioning in their eyes.
Even the changes in the world seemed like a moment.
Staring at the hourglass through the perspective of the ritual, Helfas said.
"How long do I have to wait?"
After a long time, he let the power of the ritual pull him back to the temple, but the excitement and expectation in his eyes had dissipated.
This time.
He didn't want to wait passively anymore.
Compared with the Helfas who had just arrived here, he was more willing to take his fate into his own hands than to passively wait for fate to come.
If he couldn't wait, he would find the answer himself.
