Chapter832 The compromise of the Mother of Masks, the war begins
What Castis didn't know was that the Cuitiers he was looking for was not in the star realm at the moment.
In the underworld, deep in the source of the River Styx guarded by the Mother of Masks, the Void Spirit Evil Owl stares at the uninvited guests with a pair of blue eyes. The Mother of Masks is not as covetous as the Void Spirit Evil Owl, but
He put down what he was doing and focused most of his attention on the visitor.
"Guardian Spirit of the Styx, is this our first official meeting?"
Facing the ethereal evil lord who can easily kill the soul, a beautiful woman with long purple hair, wearing a purple gauze skirt, casually sat on a soul rock, crossed her legs, showing a looming mystery.
The only problem is that the temptation of a woman cannot sway the Void Spirit Evil Owl and the Mother of Masks in the slightest, it is just ogling a blind man.
"Outside God, I think you should understand that we are enemies, not friends, and soul blasphemers are not welcome in the underworld."
"Soul blasphemer? Haha, come on, the essence of the soul is just an energy substance, or a life magnetic field. The soul is not as holy as you said. On the contrary, the human soul I see, what I think
, it’s all evil.”
The woman switched legs, slightly opened her cool and thin lips, and her narrow eyes were as sharp as knives, looking directly at the silent mother of masks.
"Besides, if the soul cannot be blasphemed, why would you use the River Styx to wash away the memory of the soul? Reincarnation should be a sign of respect for the soul if it remains in its original state? So, you are also a blasphemer of the soul? Haha, Hades
It’s so funny that the guardian of the river is a blasphemer of souls.”
"Ga! Ga! Shut up! Don't offend the great Mother of Masks!"
The ethereal evil owl standing on the shoulders of the Mother of Masks spread his wings and issued a warning, but the woman snorted contemptuously as if she didn't hear him.
"Mother of Masks, I feel sorry for you. Since Qian Jue betrayed you, how many capable mask spirits are there around you?"
The woman who was speaking glanced sideways at Xu Ling Xie Xiao, and the undisguised contempt in her eyes made Xu Ling Xie Xiao scream.
"I'm afraid not all of them are just like this stupid bird. They are just useless people who can't do anything except scream."
"Ga! Ga! Ga!"
"You should retreat first."
"Quack! But..."
"Go ahead."
Under the command of the Mother of Masks, the unwilling Void Spirit Evil Owl could only flap his wings and leave.
When the Void Spirit Evil Owl left, the River Styx began to boil and tremble. The Mother of Masks who had been sitting stood up and looked down at the woman who was as big as her own toes.
No longer as gentle as before, the sudden burst of momentum from the Mother of Masks made the woman feel fatal murderous intent.
"Star Spirit, before I get angry, tell me your purpose, otherwise, just stay here."
The woman's smile faded slightly and became more serious.
Although there is a high probability that throwing away this vessel will not cause any real losses to you, probability is probability. Even if it is only one in ten thousand, it may be triggered. After all, you are facing the life and death left by a complete world.
With the power of reincarnation, accidents might happen.
He came here to be a lobbyist, not to be a gunman.
"As far as I know, the dominance of the war in the underworld has fallen into the hands of Mordekaiser. Except for the Styx where you are, Mother of Masks, there is no absolutely safe place.
I am here for nothing else but to persuade peace and temporarily end this protracted war in the underworld. After all, I don’t like one-sided results. It’s interesting to be evenly matched.”
"So, you came here to be Mordekaiser's lobbyist? When did the aloof outside gods start to come down to the mortal world to run errands themselves?"
The woman smiled nonchalantly.
"Of course it's because it's interesting. This world is so boring. That's why the unknown is interesting. Don't you think it's interesting to explore unknown areas or use conspiracy to start a protracted war?"
"Excessive curiosity will lead to disaster. I think you can understand the meaning of this sentence better than me. As for the protracted war, it will only increase my workload. From the moment I put on the mask, I have never had
rest."
"If I die for this, I will do it. Boredom is the most terrible disaster in the world. If I were to sit here like you for tens of thousands of years, I would choose to commit suicide."
The Mother of Masks remained silent and did not speak, because she could not convince a reasonable madman.
"In short, since this war is doomed to fail, why doesn't the Mother of Masks try to make a truce? Anyway, for you, the order of the Styx can last for one day, right? It's better than entering chaos early."
"condition."
"Just give up a small part of your authority."
The woman laughed and pinched an imperceptible gap with her index finger and thumb. The wanton smile on her face could be said to be a sure win.
"Open up the authority between the underworld and the material realm, giving you another option to fight against enemies you can't resist at all. The world has been corrupted to this point anyway, why not put all your efforts in and see if Kindred's betrayal is worth it?
Mordekaiser has already told me that as long as you are willing to give up this insignificant authority, no matter what the outcome of the war is, you can guard the River Styx and continue to complete your mission. To be honest, I don't even think about it.
There is no better deal than this. He will be his conqueror and you will be your guardian. There is no irreconcilable conflict between you, right?"
By the time Void Spirit Evil Owl got the order to return to the realm of Styx, the annoying woman had already left. Void Spirit Evil Owl noticed that the aura of the Mother of Masks was a little weak.
"Gah, mother..."
"From now on, our war with Mordekaiser is over."
"quack?"
"Go find Qian Jue and tell them that the door to the underworld is about to open."
"Quack!???"
…
In the material realm, the Noxus Empire launched a large-scale war against the astral forces for the first time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A total of 160,000 troops from the Empire's Third Army and Eighth Army were divided into two groups to attack from Black Iron Fort and Diver Fort respectively.
ten miles,
At the head of the battle were the magic dragon bird knight scouts wearing anti-magic cloaks. The Imperial heavy infantry regiment equipped with enchanted armor and magic-breaking spears guarded the Imperial Hex heavy artillery regiment and the black lightning magic troops in the center of the military formation.
The Imperial Magic Dragon Lizard Heavy Cavalry Corps supported both sides of the military formation. Lieutenant General Isaiah, the commander of the Third Legion, and the military staff rode on the elemental magic fortress dragged by the alienated heavy rhinoceros. Through the elemental perception network opened by the magic fortress,
Isaiah and his staff can immersively perceive the ever-changing battlefield, use magic communication technology to convey combat instructions in a timely manner, and issue orders to school-level officers.
In addition to the regular troops, the military department also appointed a magic crystal troop of less than 400 people as special reinforcements to deal with the astral mages.
Swain, who was wearing a school-level officer's light enchanted leather armor, held the reins of the dragon-scaled horse. He had a magic steel stabbing sword on his left and a Hextech revolver on his right. The black and red cloak behind him followed the dragon-scaled horse's small steps.
And fluttering wildly.
After graduating from the Fidelite Imperial War College, he suppressed bandits in the northern border of the empire, fought against the Ionian resistance, and even had the rare experience of chasing pirates by boat. However, compared with this great battle, his past
His achievements are not worth mentioning at all.
Looking at the endless military force in the distance, Swain puffed out his chest and looked solemn.
He has been to many places in Rune Land and has a certain understanding of the armed forces in other places. Because of this, he is very sure that the army loyal to the Holy Emperor in front of him is an iron army capable of sweeping across Rune Land.
If it weren't for the cross-border crossing of the stars, the Noxus Empire would have unified the entire continent of Valoran long ago with its enterprising spirit.
As an imperial soldier, Swain felt both excited and a little nervous. Roxy's warlike blood did not make him lose the ability to judge like other imperial soldiers. The outcome of the war was still unknown, and the star forces
Just how powerful it is, you have to fight head-on to know.
Soon the dragon and bird scouts of the Third Army entered the war zone. Before Brown rebelled, the western part of the Dalmo Plain was the empire's high-quality horse breeding farm. The terrain was flat and lush with grass, and wild cattle and sheep could be seen from time to time.
Ming,
At this moment, the green and jade land was eroded by the dissipated star energy and turned into an unheard of strange landform.
The land and sand turned into star rock soil that shimmered with different monochromatic colors like gems. On top of the star rock soil grew gray grass that was taller than the waist. The gray grass looked inconspicuous, but in fact it contained hidden gems.
Various unknown plants with elemental magic, many of which are extremely destructive and deadly weapons.
When the dragon bird scout flew over a hundred meters high, a thorny mutant plant suddenly poked its head out from the gray grass, opening its spiked stamens in the shining starlight like a radar, locking on the dragon bird knight.
Shooting thorns of thorns with different elemental magic attached to the dragon bird,
Some of the spikes are shaped like ice picks, some are brewing with exploding fire elements and explode when touched, and others are shining with the terrifying light of star magic, which can easily pierce through dragons and birds when turning corners.
The equipment on the knight can kill with one blow.
In the previous small-scale war, the empire had confirmed the existence of [Elemental Thorns], so the dragon and bird knights who braced themselves had raised their bodies the moment they were attacked. Even so, more than a dozen dragon and bird scouts were caught off guard.
Died under the surprise attack of Starry Thorns.
The dragon bird and the knight fell from the sky, and the moment they fell into the gray grass, they were caught by the piranha flowers and blood-sucking vines that suddenly protruded out, and they shrank back into the gray grass and died without being seen.
After confirming the approximate location of the Thorn of Elements, the dragon bird scouts withdrew to the sky above the military formation, and the army stopped. The imperial mage immediately began to cast spells. In an instant, clusters of red sun condensed under the star curtain, and the temperature of the air suddenly increased by more than ten degrees.
Over time, hundreds of blazing suns grew bigger and bigger, turning into meteors and raining down on the earth.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!",
The fire was radiating, the rocks exploded, and the gray grass, which had magic resistance in the violent fire and earth elements, was unwillingly ignited, torn, and burned, and several kilometers of star-shine rock and soil where no gray grass grew was forced out.
In the magic fortress, Isaiah frowned and watched helplessly as the gray grass in the magic projection extinguished the blazing fire. Under the abundant magic elements, the gray grass grew without limit, towards the spar-like star rock.
The soil counterattacked wildly.
Isaiah was very dissatisfied with not being able to open up a safe zone for 100,000 people at once.
In the previous investigation, the gray grass did not have such a high fire element resistance, but now it has undergone unexpected changes. If it cannot be solved well, the troops may not be in the most suitable position to attack the star curtain barrier.
Pay heavy casualties.
"Lieutenant General Isaiah, maybe we can try the elemental herbicide produced by the Imperial Chemical Industry Department."
A staff member proposed a feasible plan to the general in a timely manner, but Isaiah was hesitant.
[Elemental Herbicide] is the abbreviation of 'harmless to humans and animals', and its scientific name is [Inverse Element Chain Plant Decomposer]. It is a magic biochemical weapon specially developed to deal with the gray grass in the gray landscape. This time
The small-scale biochemical troops were deployed just in case.
In many experiments, the inverse element chain plant cracking agent has shown extremely terrible destructive effects on magic plants and the surface. The cracking agent will catalyze the magic elements contained in the magic plants to form a chain element explosion.
If only a single and limited range of magic plant populations can be controlled, a population like gray grass that hides various high concentrations of magic plants will 100% cause extremely terrifying elemental explosions, and the damage to the land will be secondary.
What I was afraid of was that the explosion would affect the Imperial soldiers on the edge of the gray grass.
Isaiah looked at the female mage of the Black Lightning Magic Force. The female mage's name was Melina. Her confidentiality level was very high. At least Isaiah himself did not have the authority to investigate the female mage.
"Can you use magic to create an isolation zone?"
"There is no need for isolation zones. My mages can withstand the shock wave caused by the explosion."
"Then I'll trouble you, Your Excellency."
Melina was not seen casting spells. The female mage just moved her lips silently and issued the order.
The troops began to shrink, and a hemispherical non-attribute defensive barrier appeared at the front of the troops, facing the gray grass five hundred meters away.
"Order, all troops stay on alert, and the Dragon Bird Knight begins to release elemental herbicides on the gray grass areas."
Twenty minutes later, ten extremely skilled dragon and bird knights rushed to an altitude of 500 meters with the pharmacist carrying the magic jar behind him, circling away from the effective killing range of the magic plants.
After determining ten different drop-in points, the pharmacist used a knife to cut the load-bearing rope, and the magic-sealing jar the size of a gas can fell from the sky and hit the gray grass.
"Rush up! Quick!"
Under the urging of the pharmacist, the ten dragon bird knights controlled the dragon bird to fly higher into the sky without hesitation. After the magic sealing jar fell to the ground, the gray grass began to shrink, quickly releasing the elemental energy that had lost its restraint.
After a few breaths, the elemental energy reached the explosion point.
"boom!!!!"
The sky collapsed, the earth shook, and the mountains shook.
