Chapter 459: Syat Gathering
The vast land was covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, as if even the sky had sensed the coming storm. The afterglow of the setting sun was weakly sprinkled on the barren land of Maple Leaf Province. The light was no longer warm and soothing, but was a bit desolate, coating every inch of land with a faint golden red.
Surrounded by broken walls and scorched earth, the once prosperous village is now only a ruin. The wind whimpered through the broken eaves, like the souls of countless Syat people whispering, telling of sadness.
"Go back, there is no more supplies here."
The Rhea people who left the slaughtered village occasionally saw a few disturbed birds flying in a hurry, crossing the gray sky, and their figures quickly disappeared in the distance, as if they were eager to escape from this land shrouded in the shadow of death.
In the desolate and oppressive Maple Leaf Province, whether it was the Rhea people who briefly conquered here or the conquered Syat people, everyone's heart was full of complex emotions.
Fear, anger, determination, reluctance... but more of a tragic feeling of facing an unknown fate.
"So, how did they get defeated?"
In the city occupied by the Rhea people, the richest city in Maple Leaf Province, "Black Gold City", in the manor that originally belonged to the "Angry Angel" Jones family, many Rhea high-level people and people from the Church of Redemption were communicating and even arguing.
They all heard about an extremely important thing, that is, the Valerians and the Carnians were annihilated one after another!
When the news came like a bolt from the blue, everyone instantly fell into a dead silence, and then an unspeakable horror and panic swept over like a tide, drowning the extraordinary nobles of Rhea.
"No... This is impossible!"
"How could this happen?"
"This kind of thing is impossible!"
Some people screamed, their voices full of disbelief. After repeatedly confirming the situation, their eyes became empty and confused, as if they had lost all the strength to support them, and their hands trembled and could not accept this cruel reality.
"The Kanians are stronger than us... I mean they are not weaker than us, why did they suddenly get wiped out?"
"Where is the cardinal of the Recast Church? Where is he?"
"How did the Syatians do it?"
However, after a brief shock, there was endless confusion.
The Rhea people argued passionately, and everyone's face was full of confusion and vague fear.
"How about we retreat?" Someone suddenly said so.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then some people were silent, and soon someone nodded in agreement.
"Yes, or we can retreat. The situation this time is very unusual. The strength of the Syat people is beyond our expectations..."
"How did they do it? Could it be that a large number of powerful monarchs of the Loen people personally went to the battlefield? If that is the case, aren't they afraid of starting a second war with the Qiyao people directly?"
Someone shook his head and said, "It is unlikely that it is the Loen people. The war some time ago caused great damage to the vitality of the two empires, and nearly a hundred monarchs were killed... Loen and Qiyao don't want to go directly to the battlefield in a short time."
The person who just said to retreat said again: "Retreat to Rhea! Otherwise, we may also... suffer losses in the war."
"How can we give up so easily? What did they sacrifice for?" Someone shouted angrily, with grief and unwillingness in his voice.
"Yes, we must take revenge! We can't let the blood of many Rheans flow in vain! Who among us doesn't have a blood feud with the Syat people?"
More people responded, with a resolute light flashing in their eyes, as if they wanted to turn all their anger and sadness into strength, and vowed to seek justice for the Rheans of their ancestors.
However, in this chaotic quarrel, there are also rational voices trying to calm the dispute. "Now is not the time to quarrel. We should calm down and think about the next step."
An older monarch-level general stood up, his voice was steady and powerful, trying to guide everyone out of the whirlpool of emotions.
He was the second most powerful person in Rhea after "Blood Flame King" Frem, nicknamed "Chaos Thunder" Quill.
But the anger and panic had spread like wildfire and were difficult to contain.
People continued to quarrel, the voices became louder and louder, the emotions became more and more excited, and the whole camp seemed to become a boiling ocean, full of despair, anger and chaos.
At this moment, they suddenly stared at one person, wanted to speak but stopped, and just respectfully made way for that person.
"Blood Flame King" Frem Meyer walked through the chaotic crowd with a very calm look, slowly came to a room, and waited for another person in the room.
That was the cardinal of the Church of Redemption, "White Flower" Lian, the only elf among the cardinals of the Church of Redemption.
"Is the 'Destroyer' really dead?" she asked.
"The Fischer family said that he was missing in the battle. The exact life or death of the 'Destroyer' will depend on the follow-up investigation, but he is most likely killed."
"..."
Lian didn't know what to say, and even felt that her brain was going to break down. This kind of thing was simply too crazy.
How many years?
I don't know how many years, at least for thousands of years, although there have been individual cases of cardinals being killed by heretical groups, there has never been a cardinal of this level being killed by extraordinary nobles in a war.
Because no matter what, only the gods or the popes who are the spokespersons of the gods are qualified to deal with the existence of the level of the cardinal.
However, everything has changed now.
The order is broken.
She couldn't lower her head calmly, her voice was full of emptiness, and she murmured to herself: "The world has gone completely crazy. The first murdered cardinal has appeared. Even the recast church only imprisoned the "black wave" but did not kill him."
"The Syat people are too bold!"
"The former Orthodox Church was a sacred and inviolable existence, but now, this layer of skin is about to be pulled off by the Fisher family, which has a history of less than a hundred years."
"Blood Flame King" Frem was silent and did not speak.
Lian was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Alas, no matter how much you think about it, it is simply incredible."
Frem shook his head, stared at Cardinal Lian and said: "There is nothing incredible, this thing happened just like that. In fact, for the Fisher family of Syat, the Eastern Four Countries cannot enter the restrictions of Apocalypse, and this is their natural shelter."
"And even if they killed the cardinals of some churches, the Apocalypses of the Orthodox Church could not directly come in and wipe out all enemies, so the Syat people are not afraid, and the Fisher family is not afraid either."
He did not mention the most critical reason, that is, the gods left the world of Crade!
Because that is actually a huge taboo of the church, all the Orthodox churches have denied this matter. They believe that the gods are definitely still in the world of Crade but just don't speak out.
But anyway, that is the most important reason!
If the gods are really still there!
Who dares to openly murder the core leaders of the church?
Lian nodded and said, "That's true, but even the shallow Recasting Church still has dozens of monarch-level extraordinary people. If they really put all their efforts on it, they can wipe out the entire Syat even without any apocalypse. I just don't know what their "chief" is thinking."
Freim calmly analyzed, "But the Fisher family also has the support of the Sun Church and the Storm Church. It won't be so easy to destroy them... Today's Syat and even the entire Eastern Four Countries are a chessboard, and we are all chess pieces."
"Who is playing chess behind the scenes?" Lian asked:
"Without a doubt, it's those apocalypses..."
Freim's voice was very serious.
Apocalypse.
They have a nearly immortal physique, can resist the erosion of time and live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and also master ancient wisdom. They can continue to influence everything in the long river of history and become the leaders of the times.
Lian sighed again and said, "Yes, in front of them, even if we are extraordinary people who are above the monarch, what is the difference between us and extraordinary people who are below the monarch?"
"If we are to say the difference between us and ordinary extraordinary people in their eyes, it is that we can live longer and have the qualifications to interact with them."
"As for the Apocalypses, they never consider having too many intersections with ordinary extraordinary people, because the Apocalypses know that the life span of those ordinary extraordinary people is as short as the sand blown away by the wind."
She fell into deep thought, and the blue clothes on the beautiful elf moved without wind, as if changing with her emotions.
Then Lian finally made up her mind, clenched her hands, and said calmly: "I want to write a letter to the Pope. Everything that happened here must be taken more seriously by the Church of Redemption!"
"The majesty of the Church of Redemption, no...the majesty of God must never be broken by the mortal world from now on!"
——
Nasir City.
The Fisher family has made all the preparations for the war.
They not only set out by themselves, but also received instructions from extraordinary nobles from all over the country of Syat to gather in Maple Leaf Province, and a huge battle was about to take place!
Darren, who was suspended in the sky, looked grim.
Finally, this day has come!
An unprecedented emotion surged in his heart like an undercurrent, which was a complex emotion intertwined with a strong desire and firm belief for revenge for his relatives, friends and himself.
Darren's eyes flashed with a strange light, not pure hatred, but a light mixed with painful memories, deep love and unshakable determination.
"How many people, how many people I know died in the hands of the Rhea people?"
"Not only the relatives of the Fisher family, but also those I met in Rhea... She couldn't escape from there... Hehe..."
Every beat of his heart resonated with the upcoming action, and the joy in his heart did not come from the crazy pleasure, but from a kind of relief that he was about to get everything back for the people he cared about!
The excitement was like a wildfire, and it was impossible to contain it!
Darren knew that this road would never be smooth, but he was ready for everything. No matter the physical or psychological test, he would not be shaken.
"Rhea people, Meyer family... I'm coming! Next, I need you to be afraid of me!"
In his world, revenge is not only a complete end to the past, but also a promise for the future!
"We are coming."
Audrich Romen of the Romen family and Ariel, the "Man of Stars", finally arrived here from Emerald Lake Province.
They also flew into the sky and greeted Darren.
"How sure are you to win this war?" Aldrich asked.
"100%."
Darren answered calmly and firmly.
As long as the great Lord of the Lost protects the Fisher family, the Siat people will definitely win in the end!
Ariel was stunned for a moment, and Aldrich nodded in agreement and said, "Be careful, the other party may also hide unknown power."
Darren also nodded, but did not respond clearly.
At this moment, the extraordinary nobles of Siat have gathered, including more than a dozen monarchs, hundreds of extraordinary people at the qualitative change level, and a larger number of origin extraordinary people and ordinary people's army.
Darren also felt that it was time to move forward. The next step was to go straight to Maple Leaf Province and have a large-scale battle.
So he used the extraordinary people of the Dawn Cult to give orders to everyone.
Then, everyone listened to Darren's voice.
"All the Siat troops, set off!"
——
At this moment, Carl silently observed everything here in the sky.
Decades have passed, and the Fisher family has developed step by step from the beginning, with only Irene and Chris, and even eating became a problem, to today's situation, which is simply an exaggerated situation that outsiders can hardly imagine.
Recently, Carl has absorbed some forbidden objects, including one two-digit forbidden object and two three-digit forbidden objects, all of which come from the Kanians.
Taboo object number 850: Book of Impressions
It looks like a black notebook. As long as you know someone's appearance and write their name on it, you can know the surrounding environment of the other person's current location in the notebook.
The cost of using the "Book of Impressions" is that you will be blind for a few days after each use, but compared with other forbidden objects, this level of cost is not very large.
Taboo Item No. 199: Night Cloak
It looks like a dark cloak. This cloak can change into any form, even imitating the appearance of the owner or the enemy.
If it changes into the appearance of the enemy, then when it is attacked, the enemy will also bear part of the same attack.
If it changes into the appearance of the owner, it can bear part of the attack on behalf of the owner.
However, every time it is used, the owner needs to permanently lose a small part of his spiritual power, and the cost is also huge in a sense.
Taboo Item No. 79: Dragon Head Woodcarving
It is a taboo item that can be released and turned into a dragon-headed warship flying at high speed in the sky as long as it touches water. This dragon-headed warship is even immune to all attacks below the apocalypse, and the extraordinary people on the ship will gain a steady stream of spiritual power.
Every time it is used, it must consume fifty years of life. Even for the extraordinary people at the monarch level, using this level of taboo items must be considered more.
However, one thing is beyond Carl's expectation. Although many new taboo items have been obtained, the eighth seal is still very stable, and there is no obvious sign of loosening.
He felt that the "weight" of the eighth, ninth, and tenth seals seemed to be on a different level than the first seven seals!
"It seems that it is indeed difficult to unlock the eighth seal, but it is getting closer and closer after all."
"More and more seals are unlocked..."
"Sooner or later, all the seals will be unlocked."
Carl fell into deep thought.
"But what will happen in the end?"
