Brando also saw the door and carefully approached it with the blade of fire. He opened the door and found Mayad in the messy office at a glance.
To be precise, this being, the seventh among the twelve Patriarchs of the Tree Shepherd, had been split into two pieces and was lying in the middle of the room.
The wound extended from his left shoulder near his neck to his right waist, all the way down, cutting open his ribs and lungs, completely tearing his spine, and dark red blood and black internal organs spewed out and scattered.
On the ground, some unknown insects crawled in and out of the corpse, as if they had used the empty chest as a new nest.
Brando had seen a lot of corpses, but he still couldn't help but feel nauseated. He stopped Medisa from behind with his hand and said with some difficulty: "You'd better not come here."
Theoretically speaking, Medisa's psychological endurance is much higher than him. On the battlefield a thousand years ago, both the scale of the battle and the brutality on the battlefield were a hundred times greater than now. As the commander-in-chief of an army, the little elf princess was
All kinds of scenes that are not suitable for children have become commonplace.
But no matter what, Brando would rather treat her as a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who still needs protection.
Medissa pursed her lips and stopped on her own initiative. She didn't seem to mind the Lord's care for her. "Is Mayad dead?" she asked softly.
Brando nodded, like Medissa, he more or less guessed this. The strange behavior patterns of the insect swarm all revealed such news, but it was just too unbelievable.
Historically, Mayad died around the Year of Star Magic. As a world boss, he died in the hands of players. The battle was so vigorous that many guilds became famous.
Instead of dying like this, quietly in a corner of Rushta, the imperial capital. He was almost not even known.
Neither of them spoke. Hipamila looked extremely uncomfortable with the current environment and did not speak. Silence lingered between the three of them.
Brando frowned. The current situation was getting more and more weird and complicated. Andesa seemed to have completed the second defilement. She suddenly appeared near the battlefield in Hanlu Manor. The Silver Queen didn't know what she was doing and she gave up.
Regarding the control of the imperial capital - "Is my group really so important that she can ignore everything?"
And Mayad's corpse was more like a silent warning. Ancient proverbs were the most severe warnings, and it was the same at this moment. This proverb seemed to be engraved on the corpse and spread on the carpet along with the blood.
It forms words.
Warn him to stay away from this growing whirlpool as soon as possible.
Brando vaguely felt that something was escaping everyone's control - he and the Silver Queen, rushing in an unpredictable direction.
"Are there any signs of secondary defilement on Mayad?" Medisha suddenly asked again.
Brando looked at the twisted corpse. He immediately found relevant traces. Just as he was about to nod, an uncontrollable thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Mayad died here, so was his insect swarm wiped out?"
Standing on the other side of the door, Medissa saw his expression and seemed to guess what he was thinking. Her expression changed slightly and she replied hastily: "The fog of plague has not dissipated yet, and the insect swarm should still be there."
.”
But where have they gone?
"Where is the female worm?" Medisha suddenly asked: "Its body should not be too far from Mayad."
"Not good." A warning sign flashed in Brando's heart. He subconsciously pulled back. He had just left his original position. The carpet on the ground there quietly cracked a hole, and the walnut board underneath also broke.
It was as if an invisible blade had struck it heavily.
A strange creature landed lightly on the carpet.
It looked like a humanoid mantis, about as tall as a person, standing on two legs, and covered with a shiny black carapace. It had a pair of compound eyes, with a bright surface that could detect people, its head was in the shape of an inverted triangle, and its arms were
A pair of long sickles.
Medissa came to Brando first, raised her right hand and a silver spindle-shaped spear appeared in her hand. But when she saw this monster, she couldn't help being startled.
"What is this? Isn't it a plague bug?"
But Brando recognized this thing.
He stared at the two dark red haloes on the mantis's compound eyes and the same-colored light spot in the center, and recognized the origin of this thing.
"do not move."
He lowered his voice and reminded Medisa, also reminding Hipamilla who had not yet entered the door behind.
This is a nightmare insect.
He once obtained a set of planeswalker cards, Paradise of Adversity, from the two planeswalker creature attendants of Planeswalker Horseman, Elaine the Banshee and Pendulum Man. One of the core creatures of this set of cards is Nightmare.
furnace creature.
The original version of this construct insect is actually the Dozera Nightmare, a dusk species born in the Coiled Serpent Abyss.
Odin has mentioned this kind of creature more than once. The Nightmare is one of the three major races of Twilight. The main enemy of the Earth Legion is the Crystal Cluster, while the Giants are mainly responsible for fighting against the Sons of Fenrir and the Nerg within the elemental realm.
, only the Nightmare tribe rarely appears in history. It is said that during the Second Twilight War, they were once the main force of Chaos and were called the Doomsday Nightmare. Hence the name of the Nightmare tribe.
But after the first two Twilight Wars, this terrible creature disappeared, as if it had never appeared in this world. The Hazenians used them as a blueprint to design the Nightmare Furnace creature, which contributed to civilization during the Azure War.
They fought on one side, and since then, the Nightmare clan has become a legend, as if it is a legend of the past that has been sealed in history.
However, today, they reappeared in front of Brando.
If it weren't for the opponent's distinctive rainbow ring and pupils, Brando wouldn't have dared to confirm that this thing was the legendary and notorious nightmare insect.
The Nightmare Furnace is just the lowest level of the insect swarm, but the one in front of you is an elite guard, who is born with power that almost surpasses the realm of saints.
Cold sweat broke out on Brando's forehead. He probably guessed the origin of this nightmare insect. Mayad must have regarded this thing as the mother of the plague insect swarm. The nightmare insect is the king of the insect swarm, and it is easy to command the plague insect swarm.
thing, but for some reason it suffered backlash.
"It's really a desperate act." Brando couldn't help complaining in his heart, but this guy hurt himself and Medisa: "But where did Mayad find such a thing?" He thought to himself.
The Nightmare Insect has strong dynamic vision, but this does not mean that it cannot detect Brando and Medisa when they are quiet. The mantis tilted its head slightly and looked at the two people standing at the door. Its mouthparts kept moving.
The images of Brando and Medisa were reflected in their compound eyes, as if they were considering how to deal with the two intruders.
"Hipamilla, back off and run out." Brando silently conveyed a spiritual message to the priest girl outside the door, but he knew that this was of little significance. The strongest thing about the Nightmare Insect was its psychic ability.
They are psychic creatures.
Sure enough, the moment Hipamilla moved back, the irritated nightmare suddenly raised its head, and an invisible ripple hit Brando and Medisa at the door.
There was almost no time to react. Brando only felt a buzzing in his head, and even the scenery in front of him deviated, but he was relatively relaxed. His ridiculously high will attribute blocked most of the psychic impact. Metisa on the side could
Not so lucky, the little silver elf princess screamed and fainted.
Brando didn't even have time to hold Medisa up, and saw that the nightmare insect had already rushed towards him. It was incredibly fast, but Brando knew that in fact the opponent's speed should be faster than what he 'saw'
Fast. This is a dusk species with the power level of the sage domain. Although it does not have the power of law, its basic attributes alone are enough to stand out from the crowd. I can see its movement trajectory purely because the law of time is taking effect.
He did not dare to trust the judgment of his eyes too much, so he picked up the unconscious Medisa one step ahead and rolled him back. His usual caution undoubtedly saved his life. A white light flashed from the door, and the door and wall clicked.
It was cut in half with a sound.
Brando had no doubt that if he had not moved, or had been a moment late, he would have suffered the same fate as Mayad.
He looked towards Hipamira. The priestess reacted very quickly and was already running downstairs.
What he has to do now is to delay time, but Brando's mouth feels a little bitter. This is not as simple as it sounds. The fog of plague has a range of one or two miles, and it is not easy to wait for Hipamilla to run out.
Left or right?
He knew that the attacks of the Nightmare Insects would soon follow, and that his equipment and abilities could not provide him with any help at the moment. He knew that what he could rely on was his rich combat experience in the past.
But this time Brando made a mistake.
The nightmare insect did not move.
Because it suddenly turned around, a black light penetrated the window glass of the Earl of the Empire's office behind it, accurately hitting it before it could react.
Brando heard the monster let out a squeaking scream, and was then lifted up by the black light, hitting the ceiling heavily before falling down.
But its first reaction when it fell was not to immediately fight for the attacker outside the window. It didn't even look at Brando on the ground, and decisively hit a hole in the wall of the corridor on the other side, hitting its head
He ran away from that direction without looking back.
"what's the situation?"
Brando was stunned for a moment.
He subconsciously looked in the direction of the office, just in time to see the windows in that direction burst. The entire outer wall of the fortress collapsed under the influence of external forces. The wind rushed in from the outside and blew away the fog that filled the room.
Some.
Then Brando saw the figure suspended in mid-air outside.
At that moment, he only felt that the blood was frozen from head to toe. For a moment, he even wished that the damn nightmare insect would come back, at least it would be better than the guy in front of him.
Because he saw Gwendolyn, the Dragon Queen.
Black dragon-shaped pupils were looking down at him coldly.
…
Alka looked around aimlessly in the crowd. The young man was looking for his beloved girl, but to his disappointment he found nothing. The fanatical atmosphere in the square made him very uncomfortable. He was born near Rushta
He lives in the countryside, but he once studied a lot with a monk, and he can be said to have received a good education - at least for a farmer's son.
His humble background and mismatched knowledge have contributed to his sensitive character. Such a person is naturally not good at trusting anyone. In his eyes - whether it is the nobles of the empire or those secretive secret cultists, they are all the same.
Doubtful.
But he knew very well what these people were up to. In his opinion, the so-called summoning of the angel Akroma by the believers was just a pretense. They were obviously instigating a riot, just like the plays that had been staged repeatedly by the pagans in the past few decades.
Same. There is no doubt that such a riot will fail, but the nobles will still feel pain to the bone. This is probably 'their' only chance to take revenge on the arrogant Her Majesty the Queen.
The ceremony in the square was going on, but he seemed out of tune with the devout citizens around him. He looked on coldly, as if watching everything that was happening in front of him through a window. The only thing he was concerned about was Seti's whereabouts.
I saw some believers taking her away before, but she hasn't come back yet.
He felt a little uneasy, and at this moment, a low voice or two suddenly came from behind.
Alka turned around subconsciously and saw two high-ranking believers standing behind the crowd. He knew those people, and they were the bodyguards of 'Your Excellency the Bishop'.
"Ms. Andersa ordered us...why would the bishop care so much about a little girl?"
"This is what another adult said, be careful."
"But those Eruin people..."
"That young lady came here by arrangement. Shut up."
The four words "Eruin" were hammered into Alka's mind like nails. A series of pictures took shape in his thoughts. He seemed to see the old Kent hotel shrouded in twilight, and his whole body instantly changed.
Be alert.
He pricked up his ears and carefully focused his attention in that direction.
At this time, the eyes of the high-ranking cultists were scanning the crowd. The young man carefully lowered his head to avoid the sight of these people. The latter looked around for a moment before withdrawing his gaze and continued:
"We are not the only ones paying attention to her, but also Her Majesty the Queen. Do you really think that crazy woman would be interested in a country bumpkin noble?"
"Silver Queen?"
"Of course, so you'd better speak less and get involved in adults' matters."
"I see, but the bishop can trust you to leave such an important matter to a country girl?"
"I don't know about this, but I believe you have your own intentions. Besides, that stupid woman is eager for revenge——"
Hearing this, Alka felt his heartbeat stop for half a beat.
The last words were like a sharp blade piercing his heart, causing him to subconsciously stand up from the crowd of people kneeling on the ground. Before he could think of what to do next, the senior man standing behind
The believers discovered the anomaly here immediately.
"What the hell are you doing!"
"Damn, he's eavesdropping on us!"
The secret cultists screamed, and the young man suddenly woke up from the piercing screams. He looked at the cultists who separated from the crowd and rushed towards him, and his first subconscious reaction was to turn around and run away.
