Chapter 463: The Darkest Hour

South Indonesia.

Sha Rukh followed the rebels and encountered the main force of the colonial army.

The actions of the rebel army to capture the imperial colonial cities one after another finally provoked the iron and blood suppression of the colonial authorities.

In the pursuit, counter-pursuit, encirclement, encirclement...

The main force of the rebel army was finally caught by the tail, and had to face the colonial army on a plain terrain.

On the opposite side was the Southern Colonial Legion of the Invens Empire. Each soldier had a rifle capable of holding a bayonet. After rigorous training and rich experience in actual combat, they could even form a hollow phalanx and march forward against a hail of bullets.

And... There are Extraordinary in the army, chaplains, and gunners to assist!

On the rebel side, firearms come from various sources, and even the most primitive matchlock guns are still in use, and it is impossible for everyone to shoot one.

Some warriors even only hold spears, javelins, and darts...

All the native demigods also went to Pulmouth, and the strength and number of the high priests and wizards left behind were generally weaker than the enemy!

despair!

After a little comparison of the strengths of the two sides, Sha Rukh was filled with despair!

"charge!"

However, what the empire has done has made him firm in his ideals. Even though this is another history, his compatriots have been oppressed even more cruelly.

This made Sha Rukh feel like a fire in his chest, and he joined the war without hesitation.

He charged with a squad of warriors and could clearly see the enemy infantry lined up ahead.

The infantry marched to the beat of the military band's drums. Their tactics were very rigid, but they were quite effective!

As long as they entered the firing range of muskets, after a round of firing, a large number of indigenous warriors would fall down like harvesting wheat.

Even strong iron armor can't stop the power of gunpowder and bullets!

And among the enemy troops, there are still six-pounders and eight-pounders roaring!

"Rush over! Destroy the opponent's artillery position!"

Sha Rukh's voice has become hoarse, and all the 'blessings' on him have disappeared without a trace.

Obviously, in the battle between the Beyonders on both sides, the native side also fell into a disadvantage.

'no! '

‘If this continues, our main force will be wiped out! '

An idea came to Sha Rukh's mind, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The power of an individual is really too small in such a battlefield of tens of thousands of people!

Unless... promoted to become a demigod-level powerhouse!

‘Why do you have to come out in full force, regardless of the consequences? In the eyes of all great spirits, are we all cannon fodder? '

'Even...even the demigod totem? '

A cannonball exploded not far from Sha Rukh's left hand, making him feel lost when his ears were ringing.

"It's going to fail!"

He murmured, and suddenly felt darkness enveloped everything.

Sha Rukh raised his head and found that the sun hanging in the sky had completely lost its brilliance at some point...

"A solar eclipse as white man astronomy calls it?"

"No... no, how can a solar eclipse be so fast?"

The sudden darkness threw the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield into chaos.

Even Extraordinary people stopped fighting.

"No!"

"My lord!"

Among the enemy's phalanx, the priests of the Church of the Sun who were in charge of boosting morale and treating injuries suddenly fell to the ground screaming, looking at the shattered or lost brilliance of the sun, their spirits seemed to have been shocked by terror. , sobbing.

"impossible!"

"How did the sun fall?"

Among high-level Beyonders, this scene is undoubtedly more impactful.

The astronomical phenomenon in the eyes of ordinary people represents a terrifying event in the hidden world-the fall of Si Sui'break dawn'!

All the Extraordinary of the empire who knew a little bit of the inside story were plunged into confusion and fear at this moment, and suddenly withdrew silently from the battlefield...

After the 'total solar eclipse' that lasted more than ten minutes passed, the sun's light remained, but the dazzling glow was missing.

And the colonial army seemed very confused and confused due to the loss of Extraordinary and priests...

"Now! Charge with me!"

"Hula la!"

Shouting strangely, Sha Rukh led the remaining native warriors into the enemy's position in one go, and began to kill.

The battle situation is being reversed...

...

Invensys Empire, native land.

"Why is it suddenly dark...Is it a solar eclipse?"

Ko Ni raised her head, feeling that the sky before had been a blurry image, and now it was directly plunged into darkness.

This is not normal!

After Doris went to Pulmouth, Koni and her three students—Mond, Ya'an, and Lamor—hid in a small town in the countryside.

To the outside world, it is claimed that they are a group of students who came to collect folk songs.

After waiting in fear for a while, when the weather was getting colder, I suddenly saw this vision!

"It seems...not a solar eclipse."

Ko Ni recalled the scene she saw just now, the sun seemed to be torn apart in an instant, and then darkness fell.

"In the spirit world, the one who represents the sun, I'm afraid something serious happened."

After all, Ko Ni is a person who has been to different histories. The majesty of "Dawn" has not been deeply ingrained in her mind and has been questioned, so she can speculate on this aspect without any scruples.

And for the people of the empire who grew up in the radiance of the sun since childhood, the appearance of this idea is blasphemy!

"Aunt Mary, where are you going?"

In the dark, Lamor, who came out to look for Connie, saw Aunt Mary holding a torch, and asked curiously.

"Darkness has come, we are going to the church to pray for the light!"

Aunt Mary answered with a serious face.

In the small town, there is a small church, in which there is only one pastor of the Church of the Sun, who is a gentleman respected by the locals.

Lamor nodded, and saw above the town, some people were carrying lanterns, some people were holding high torches, and they gathered into a long dragon.

She didn't want to appear too out of place, so she followed the crowd to the chapel.

"O great sun god!"

"You are the light, you are the fire, you are the warmth...you are everything!"

"Please don't abandon us!"

...

The church was already crowded with people, and everyone was waiting anxiously.

But the door of the church was still closed, and the priest who would usually appear was nowhere to be seen.

The townspeople looked at each other, the town sheriff and the mayor exchanged glances, and knocked on the door.

"No!"

A desperate howl came from the church, followed by a gunshot.

boom!

'problem occurs! '

Without even thinking about it, the magistrate and the townspeople broke down the door of the church.

The next moment, they saw the pastor lying in a pool of blood, with a blood hole in his head, and a one-handed flintlock gun scattered in his hand.

But these are not the key!

The key point is that on the shrine in the middle of the church, the holy emblem representing 'Dawn'...has been broken into several pieces and scattered on the ground.

Lamor covered his mouth, and various panicked inquiries and low sobs came from his ears...
