A slender figure emerged from among the rubble of the ruins.
He shook off the gravel and dust on his body. Only two yellow-brown eyes could be seen on his face, which was tightly wrapped in black cloth. The two triangular ears on his head stood up vigilantly.
Wolf Guard Beelzebub held his breath and concentrated.
In the dilapidated and collapsed city, the ground is covered with broken bricks and accumulated dust, mixed with scattered pottery tips, various broken wood products, torn cotton and linen fabrics, and dark brown blood stains everywhere.
.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Basibu moved forward on all fours and reached the corner of the street ahead.
This is the area where wolves howl appears.
Guiding arrows were piled on the ground with broken bricks and stones.
Beelzebub lowered his weight and walked close to the wall, entering the cellar of a collapsed house. The walls here were covered with claw marks, and there were radial blood spatters on the floor and walls.
In the innermost corner there was a mass of solidified blood, a broken copper shoulder armor, and a deformed mace.
There is a little hair left on the ground.
Beelzebub went to the ground and smelled it.
It is the breath of Jebu the Wolf Guard.
And the smell of those bugs.
Beelzebub turned into a human form, took out a piece of linen, and skillfully gathered the remaining hair of his comrade. After wrapping it tightly, he dipped a small wolf-hair pen in red ink and wrote "Jeb"'s name on it.
Then he lowered his head and left the cellar, quickly heading towards the temporary camp.
…
After confirming that another member of the team was killed, Wolf Guard Captain Huni just said to Besib: "Hurry up and rest, we still have to hurry."
In the entire 4th Enemy Reconnaissance Reconnaissance Regiment, there are only 2 elite Wolf Guards left.
In [Wilso], which has entered its doomsday, they continue their mission while waiting for rescue and response from the rear.
In the caves in the mountains outside the city, everyone ate a small amount of dry food.
Wolf Guard Chaji sniffed and said: "Captain, when will the large army come?"
The captain chewed the dried meat slowly and took a sip of water from his leather bag: "Waiting for the signal."
"But we've never seen a signal, it's been three months, captain." Chaji looked at the leader: "We won't have backup, right?"
Captain Hooney said: "Follow orders."
"I obey!"
Chaji pointed to his bandaged left paw: "In order to carry out the order, I broke three of my claws, captain. We know the rules. We must obey orders when we go to the battlefield. We must go forward when asked and never retreat. But now.
The situation is different, we have been cut off from the rear."
"Wilso has been occupied by the swarm of insects, and even the locals have been eaten clean. The rear has not sent a large force for so long. There is only one situation."
He gritted his teeth and said: "We were abandoned."
As soon as he said this, the wolf guards around him who were still nibbling on dry food all looked over.
Beelzebub just drank the water silently.
Everyone knew very well that Chaji was just telling the truth.
First, the swarms of insects descended from the sky without warning, hunting and devouring all living creatures on the ground.
Most of them are stronger than the Wolf Guard, and they are overwhelming and endless...
How long will it take for the world to be destroyed?
As a witness, Beelzebub knew.
One month is enough.
Misfortunes never come singly. Ten days ago, we encountered another impact from the sky.
That day, the Wolf Guards dug out some edible roots from the ground and were enjoying the rare food.
But suddenly, something huge fell from the sky.
The sky-fall impact triggered an unprecedented earthquake. After the violent earthquakes and mountain shaking slowed down slightly, the whole world became weird.
Fire spewed out from the ground into the air, and pillars of fire shot up into the sky like fountains, while wisps of quicksand appeared in the sky, as if they were strange liquid oozing out of the clam of the world.
The whole world began to flash crazily in an instant, causing the wolf guards to temporarily lose their sight. Even the swarms of insects eating on the ground were shaken and flew around to avoid them.
Then the black mist came.
It's hard to describe the fear that something like that brings.
Swarms of insects are predictable. The Wolf Guards all know that cursed insects are monsters that can even attack and hunt gods. There are related ancient legends circulating in the City of Wolf.
They are the opposite of the gods, the most vigilant invaders of the gods, and the destroyers of civilization and mythology.
However, in the black mist, the insects fell one after another, rolling and struggling painfully on the ground, with swelling and bleeding all over their bodies... Facing the strange black mist, they fled in panic.
Even the captain said: "This kind of ghost thing... is damn more ferocious than a curse insect."
The black mist does not target the insect swarm, but in front of it, everything that exists is treated the same. Wherever it goes, everything withers, no grass grows, and all living creatures are tortured to death by them.
But this gave the Wolf Guards a chance to survive.
Because if there were only swarms of insects, they would be discovered sooner or later, but after the black fog came, the swarms of insects also turned into homeless dogs and did not dare to approach the black fog area.
Captain Hu Ni led the team to move quickly, carefully walking in the gap between the insect swarm and the black mist, looking for that glimmer of hope.
The cause of death for most Wolf Guards is starvation.
The violent black mist and swarms of predatory insects squeezed a large area of space, and this insect called the giant grain elephant ate all the edible things in sight, first the local civilians, livestock and various extraordinary creatures, and then in the fields
Grains, vegetables, fruits and leaves from the woods, even roots and seeds dug out of the ground...
The wolf guards only dared to hide in caves deep underground. The food left was getting less and less, and they were always hungry.
As long as the wolves are hungry, their rationality will be dominated by instinct.
When performing missions, wolf guards often secretly eat unknown food from the outside world.
Captain Huni kept restraining himself.
Almost all the remaining food in the outside world was contaminated by the black mist and then blown over by the storm. Otherwise, the giant valley elephant would have devoured it all.
The hungry ones even thought about curse insects.
They found the corpses of curse insects in the water or blown by the wind, and then dug out the abscessed and bleeding parts on the outside, leaving fresh internal organs and meat inside.
These meats look so delicious.
Hunger makes the wolves eat desperately.
As a result, they themselves were soon covered in ulcers, with blood oozing from their mouths and noses, and they were wailing and screaming in unspeakable pain.
The captain ended their suffering with a knife.
…
However, the black mist is spreading further, rushing towards the world in all directions along the Skyfall Land, forming black traces on the surface, which will sooner or later flood the entire world.
…
The captain's voice brought Beelzebub back from his thoughts.
"We must survive first, and then we can have everything."
Captain Huni said in an unquestionable tone: "The fog area is getting bigger and bigger, the insect swarms are also dying, and time is very urgent."
"We are getting closer to the Taime Temple. Since these insect swarms were summoned by the whistler, there must be a safe area over there."
A wolf guard asked: "Captain, we have searched eleven cities before. The temples have been destroyed. Is Taimu really useful?"
"The city of Tam is the holy city of Verso, where the oracle comes."
Captain Huni explained: "We have excluded the largest cities here, the oldest cities, and the cities listed by the gods... The whistler has sacrificed all the gods, if he did not want to himself
If you feed it to the swarm of insects, then the temples and statues in Taime City must have a way to avoid the swarm of insects."
"According to the information we collected from underground mysterious societies in various cities, the Whistleblower has been trying to use rituals and sacrifices to control and summon the insect swarms, and to establish contact with the Orderer... He will not let himself fall into
Danger. Gods are always shrewd."
"The rest is over, everyone, let's go."
The captain gave the order.
The Wolf Guards were tired and hungry, but they still supported their tired bodies.
We can't stop now. If we stop, we will die.
…
In order to reduce consumption, everyone walks on all fours.
The captain took the lead.
Beelzebub followed the captain, and he looked at the moon above his head. The bright full moon had been stained by the black mist, and half of it was covered with black lines, as if the moon had grown black hair that covered its face.
A total of 4 reconnaissance wings were sent to Wilso on this trip.
According to orders from their superiors, they are a team sent behind enemy lines by [Wolf City] to the Whistleblower base camp. They cooperate with the death blockade of the Melancholy Goddess to carry out local rebellion, sabotage and create panic. The purpose is to create pressure on the Whistleblower side and allow him to internally
further split and accelerate the end of the war.
Beelzebub had two choices at the beginning: either go to the frontal battlefield of the [Godly Principality], or go to the enemy's rear for guerrilla warfare.
He chose the latter one.
Both missions have low survival rates, but the guerrilla mission has a higher rating.
However, if he could save his life from the battlefield of death, then Berzebub could retire as a heroic officer, serve in the rear of the City of Wolf, and live a life without having to fight hard.
Now it seems that I can no longer go back to my hometown.
How long can you live?
Beelzebub chewed a grass root in his mouth and walked under the moonlight.
This is what soldiers do, fighting with their heads tied to their trouser pockets, no one knows whether they will be able to see the next moon.
So when you look at something, it’s always right to take a second look.
Everyone kept walking non-stop, following the captain across bare fields and mountains, wading through muddy rivers where no fish could be seen anymore, and finally arrived at the oracle city.
Under the moonlight, in the center of Taime City is a majestic tower. If you look closely, you can find that it is a temple, and the power of the fire of faith still lingers on it.
The surrounding continuous city walls, as well as the entire small city, were created to protect the temple.
"The captain is right, there are no insect swarms here in the temple of Taime City!"
"It's really perfect!"
Everyone saw hope of survival and their spirits were lifted.
"Stop and hide on the spot."
The captain suddenly gave an order.
All the wolf guards immediately obeyed the order and lay down between the col and the rocks.
Beelzebub looked around.
Behind the temple in the distance, a rock giant appeared at some point.
It has a sharp and cold face, and under its thick beard is a body of well-defined rock muscles.
The rock giant's fists flashed with golden light and blasted towards the temple.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wow——
The tower-like temple quickly collapsed and shattered under its glowing fist, revealing the statue of the whistler inside - it was like some kind of remaining evil statue from the old era, resembling a human but not human, with whistles inserted into its body.
, like a sinner undergoing some kind of torture.
"What's going on? Where did the giant come from..."
The Wolf Guards were frightened and frightened.
"I'll go take a look." Captain Huni said.
"I'll go." Besibbul volunteered.
Others also spoke up: "Come together, captain, we can't divide our manpower any more."
After hesitating for a moment, the captain agreed.
The group of people crawled forward and quickly arrived at the city wall.
Then everyone discovered that there were not only no swarms of insects, but also no guards. It was empty and quiet, and the sound of falling gravel and the whistling wind were particularly clear.
Beelzebub raised his head and looked through a collapsed low wall.
Then he saw a scene he couldn't understand.
There is a rolling mass of red in front of the statue of the Whistleman. It looks like some kind of huge soft monster, or like a blood-red bubble that is constantly changing.
It was tightly bound by a golden halo, and a long-pointed spear penetrated the middle of its body, nailing it to the ground.
There are two large flat tops suspended above its head. The two flying objects project strong white light and cross it, as if they are marking the criminals in some way.
The red monster roared in panic and despair, causing Besib's brain to buzz.
Captain Huni murmured: "Don't look directly, don't listen, the soul-stirring divine power...that is the divine body of the whistler!"
Beelzebub and the other Wolf Guards couldn't help but hold their breath.
Although they were behind enemy lines, they could infer from their own situation that the Whistleblower had used swarms of insects to severely damage the Wolf God and the Melancholy Goddess, turning defeat into victory.
Which god appeared out of nowhere and nailed the whistler to the ground?
Captain Hu Ni's eyes flashed with excitement and he punched the ground hard: "Feizhou, sky lantern...it's Yao! He finally went crazy...no, he took action!"
