Act 5: The Wall of Eruin

The thin golden threads in the sky finally connected with the vast horizon, and the fragments of the moon fell to the ground one after another. Not only in the Banker area, not even just in the Cruz Empire, but in every corner of Warnd, disaster struck at the same time.

Already.

Burning debris passed over the forest, and the forest immediately turned into a sea of ​​​​fire. The indigenous gray deer, badgers, bears and other wild animals in the forest fled in panic.

The residents of the town watched helplessly as rats ran into the streets in droves, crawling all over the streets as if they were crazy, dogs were barking, and wild cats and domestic cats all climbed onto the roofs, making strange noises like howling in spring.

A bunch of golden threads crossed the sky and fell into the horizon. A spot of light lit up in the distance. After a moment, two or three spots of light shone densely into one.

The shock wave arrived a few seconds later, and the area slightly closer to the point of fall was directly vaporized. Any wooden objects, including the trees themselves, instantly caught fire and were completely oxidized into coke within a few seconds. People and livestock directly turned into

As the dust and high temperature lick the ground, the quartz in the sand immediately crystallizes, forming shiny glass.

A little further away, the air flow formed a hurricane and passed through the town, rolling up all the bits and pieces. The tinplate signboards made a clanking sound desperately, and the streets were full of people's screams, shouts, and cries.

The sound was like the sound of broken bottles and cans. People saw the air waves rolling up smoke and dust several miles high, and the lakes and rivers were sucked into the sky by the tornado, and then 5 long 5 wind 5 literature 5 learning, ◇↖.n+et fell again

Come on, the dead fish clatters on the roof.

In some places, when the burning debris swept across the sky, thousands of miles of swamps and lakes were evaporated, the hot air rose rapidly, and then turned into heavy rain and hail, and the temperature of the ground dropped rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it was already ice and snow

Covered, a blizzard roared in.

In Rokochi, the Black Fire Cultists even took to the streets to celebrate, but they soon alerted the local garrison, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, which resulted in rivers of blood.

The largest meteorite flew over the heads of both parties. The high temperature ignited everything that could be ignited. Even metal turned into juice and fell down and solidified again on the ground. Most of the robes worn by the cultists were woven from linen, which had a lower ignition point.

Groups of fireballs were wailing and rolling on the ground, or running all over the streets. The water wells had long evaporated, and even the entire street was a scene of scorching hell.

The destructive air wave took away everything in an instant. The meteorite crashed towards the junction of the Broken Sword Mountains. The explosion triggered a horrific geological disaster and a volcanic eruption. This was followed by earthquakes, ground subsidence, mountains and rivers shifting, and thousands of miles in diameter.

As a ruin, villages, towns, humans and livestock were all buried.

Half an hour later, a brand new rift valley appeared on the map, spanning hundreds of miles, even causing the sublime inner sea to pour in. A future lake gradually took shape.

The province of Rokochi completely disappeared from the empire's territory, along with the 1.3 million people living here.

But in Eruin, it's a different story.

Freya, who was awakened by a nightmare, heard the screams in the yard outside, put on her clothes and opened the window. It was one or two o'clock in the morning, but the sky was shining with fiery red light.

A bunch of shining light spots are passing through the clouds, falling towards Mintai, Jeandener, and Anlek Plateau in the north, or falling towards Karasu, Golan Elson and Viero Territory in the east.

A larger flare was splitting the clouds above the head. The golden-red clouds were like flowing oil, cut in the middle by a blazing sharp knife. This burning fire path extended forward, pointing straight to the south of the fir collar.

Black forest.

As it passed over the Grahar Ridge, little bits of fire appeared on the mountain. Servants were running around the yard like headless flies, shouting, and the servant women were carrying basins to fetch water because the stables had been burned down.

stand up.

Freya stood at the window and frowned, shouting: "Bring out my horse, I'm going to Valhalla to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. The others organized people to extinguish the fire, and the remaining people went to open the cellar and let the woman

Hide underground first with your children."

As soon as she finished speaking, a strange scene appeared.

Between the mountains of Chablis, above the lake surrounded by quiet forests, a beam of light rises from the center of the lake and reaches the sky; then south of Toniguere, in the direction of the Ring of Trade Winds, a second beam of light rises

rising.

Near Bragg, in the valley where the Saint's Relic is located, the third beam of light rose. Then there were beams of light rising in Sifah, Ash Mountain, Corcova, Gendenel, and Lantonilan.

Eight beams of light shine permanently in the night sky, supporting the sky of Eruin.

Moments later, a series of dense flashes of light erupted above the clouds, and the falling debris in the sky seemed to hit an invisible cover.

Over Fir Castle, a golden ring of flames was spreading, the sky was roaring, and the falling meteorites were falling apart.

This was followed by a series of denser explosions. The clouds seemed to be ignited, and strong winds blew down from the sky. There was immediately a dense sound of tiles falling off in the castle, and the surrounding black pine forests fell like wheat fields in autumn.

one slice.

The servants' eyes reflected the strange scene in the night sky, and they were stunned for a moment. Freya was also silent for a while. She gave another order and asked the servants to lead her horse out, then closed the window and returned to the house.

Su Su opened the door and walked in.

She placed the folded military uniform in her hand. Freya glanced at her gratefully, took the clothes from the latter's hand, and while changing out of her nightgown, said: "Thank you, Su."

Su walked around behind her, held up the Valkyrie's long hair with his hands, and carefully braided it into fine braids. This was a trivial move, but Su's hands were extremely deft, and she looped the braids around Fleur.

Behind Ya's ear, he stopped.

Freya felt her movements and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

"Are we going to die, Miss Freya?"

"Everyone will die. Princes, generals, traffickers and pawns will eventually be able to escape the judgment of time."

"My father once said that after death, a person will gradually lose himself, and his name will gradually fade in the memories of his relatives, and finally disappear completely from this world. When I was a child, I had many relatives, but they were all dead, most of them

Partly, I don’t remember the name either... Miss Freya, if I die one day, will you remember me?"

Freya turned back and looked at Leto's daughter. "Why do you think so?" Then she thought of something: "Is it because of the invasion of the undead?"

"I have often dreamed about my father and I escaping from Lidenburg."

"That was indeed a terrible experience, but thank you for saving me, Sue."

Su was stunned and speechless.

After being silent for a while, she said quietly: "I like you, Miss Freya."

"I like you too. Su, we have been friends for a long time, haven't we." Freya smiled slightly, and she immediately fell silent again, thinking of the scene in the nightmare, and she was worried.

Su continued to braid her hair silently.

"Su, your braids are so good. I'm almost used to having you by my side." Freya suddenly thought of her aunt and family again.

"Um."



Half an hour ago, the first meteorite finally visited Rushta, the thousand-year-old imperial capital.

The fragment carried a long tail flame and high temperature, spinning and falling on the outskirts of the city, completely evaporating a nearby river and drying up. The shock wave then hit the Holy White Wall of Rushta more than ten miles away.

Thousands of years later, Akroma's blessing once again protected the city. A bright halo lit up on the white wall, offsetting nearly two-thirds of the impact. The remaining aftermath spread into the city, directly zoning half of the southern city.

For white ground.

The three canals in the city boiled and evaporated in an instant, hot water vapor rose into the sky, and fires were ignited everywhere. Thick smoke formed, mixed with the water vapor, and shrouded the entire outer city.

In the Shoemaker's Quarter, next to the Dude River, between the sixteen and nineteen oak trees, there is a Hespide's fishery shop. The owner of the shop is a country bumpkin from Paihir, a title that combines the pride of the people of the Imperial City.

Mainly engaged in the transportation and management of aquatic products in the noble inland sea and the imperial capital. Because it monopolized the business of the nobles, it was quite famous.

When the disaster occurred, this prestigious old store, like most of the shops on this street, was turned into a sea of ​​flames and collapsed with a loud creaking sound. Fortunately, the owner of the store went to Baidu outside the city that night.

Fenglin went on vacation and luckily escaped.

After the fire burned for a few minutes, the stone door of the nearby cellar was opened by a small, dusty hand, and a little boy crawled out. He fell to the ground and couldn't help but jump because he was so hot.

Behind him, another tall young man climbed out, and then a girl with thick eyebrows.

The three of them took out pots and other utensils from under the cellar, hurriedly ran to the nearby Dude River to fill the water, and then started to put out the fire. After the fire was extinguished, they hurriedly turned over the hot bricks and wood to remove the fire from the aquatic products.

Under the ruins of the store, various aquatic products, most of which had been cooked and burnt, were taken out.

The aquatic products were filled into several wooden boxes, and then they climbed back into the cellar with the boxes.

There were seven or eight people sitting below the cellar, both men and women. Among them was a young man wearing a black robe of a secret cultist. He had curly hair and was covered with sweat. He also had a thick hood on the robe.

Pulled it off.

When the girl with thick eyebrows climbed down from the ladder, he was still loudly preaching to others: "Lord Akroma has arrived, and the flame of revenge will surely evolve everything."

The girl with thick eyebrows stood aside holding the box, listening to these words with interest.

Then came the big young man. When he came down, he gave the young man a hard look and said, "Shut up."

"How can you shut me up?" the young man said angrily: "Are you a lackey of Her Majesty the Queen?"

"The old grandmother is a believer in the Temple of Fire. She has been a devoted believer in Lord Martha for eighty years. If you say these nonsense in front of her again, do you believe that I will throw you out?" the big man said in a serious tone.

: "Don't forget who took you in."

"We are just staying temporarily," someone said dissatisfied.

"Then you are going out now?"

The speaker immediately fell silent. They did not come in to avoid the meteorite, but were driven in by the wolves summoned by Kou Hua. Unexpectedly, they escaped. Old grandmother Ogis usually came in because of her firm belief in the temple.

They were hostile to him, but when he let them in for refuge earlier, the 80-year-old man, who was already blind, didn't say a word and just asked his grandson to open the cellar door.

Everyone knew that the old lady’s son also died in the war in the south not long ago, and she and her grandson were dependent on each other. The owner of Heath Speed ​​Aquatic Products Store took pity on the two grandsons and vacated the cellar for them to live in for free. But in this place

It is impossible for people at the bottom of society in this era to be picky about accommodation conditions.

The little boy finally climbed down and looked at so many people in the cellar with his mouth closed, seeming to be a bit acquainted with the situation. He silently walked to his grandmother, who smiled and patted him on the back: "Go and pour the water for everyone."

Some water."

"There is not much water left, Grandma Ogis, the river outside is almost drying up." The big man replied with a frown.

"You have to drink water. There has to be a way. Let's go. Everyone's mouths are dry." The old man looked straight at the air in front of him with his cloudy eyes, as if there was something there, and smiled slightly on his wrinkled face.

He replied.

The big man stopped talking. He was the apprentice of old Hespide, and the girl with thick eyebrows was the daughter of the owner of the fish shop. In fact, both of them had nothing to do with the old grandmother.

The water was put in a dried mud jar, less than one-third of the water was shallow. The little boy stood on tiptoe with a wooden spoon and each took a spoonful. The big man saw the way he was struggling and walked over to take the wooden spoon.

Spoon, pour half of the water in the spoon, and hand it to the secret priest.

The latter glared at him, but did not dare to get angry. He silently took the spoon and drank.

Everyone fell silent and drank water silently.

When Hipamila opened her eyes, she saw exactly this scene

"Are you awake?" The girl with thick eyebrows has been staring at Hipamila.

In fact, it is difficult for anyone not to notice such an exquisite person with beautiful golden curly hair, skin as white as porcelain, lips as red as cherries, and a perky nose dotted with some light freckles. He is both playful and cute.

After she saw the other person blinking, he opened his eyes slightly, his eyes were hazy and hazy, and his long eyelashes were as thick and neat as a brush, and she couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the other person.

"Oh my god, how could there be such a beautiful person? She must be the daughter of those nobles in the inner city."

The girl with thick eyebrows wondered in her mind.

"Where is this place?" Hipamilla asked weakly as she was drowsily asleep. Fortunately, she at least remembered what happened before she fell into coma. She suffered a fatal injury while avoiding the pursuit of Dragon Queen Gwendolyn.

Hurt, but I don’t know why the other party suddenly abandoned her.
