The first thousand two hundred and sixty-five chapters on the eve of the beast tide
Lavinia Juniper Conde, Hao Ren is no stranger to this name now. She is Count Willy's sister. During the journey in the deserted wilderness, the female knight with freckles on her face took the initiative to contact him.
"Ancient Guardian", the enthusiasm she showed at that time was like an admirer who had great admiration for the people of the Sanctuary. Her performance was so special that it left a deep impression on Hao Ren.
Count Willy has been proven to be a believer in Annihilation lurking in the Kingdom of Order. The Kant family behind him may not be able to escape guilt from top to bottom, so as his sister, Lavinia will naturally not escape suspicion.
So after the incident at Kant Manor, the "Guardian Knight" lady was immediately controlled by the inner court knights of Rudolf III. However, His Majesty the King obviously underestimated the scale of the operation of Annihilation Believers, and also underestimated Lavigne.
Ya's status in the entire secret order, the latter was rescued by a large number of cultists on the way to a secret prison outside the city. Not only that, she also went back and attacked her when the Kingdom Knights did not react.
The flag-bearing soldier who had been guarding the enemy for many years took the "ancient sacred weapon" from the opponent's hands.
Hao Ren was not too surprised when he heard the news. It could even be said that part of this incident was part of his plan. After knowing the identity of Earl Willy, he immediately doubted the initiative and his
The Lavinia who got close to him, and after Count Willy escaped, he had expected Lavinia's escape. When Rudolph III finished speaking, he just nodded: "I wanted to ask before, it seems
You have long known that Count Willy and his Kant family are members of the Annihilation Order?"
"The Annihilation Cults are infiltrating all over the Kingdom of Order, but we are not helpless against them," Rudolf III said calmly, "We can have some clues about the cultists hidden within the Kingdom, but some of them are under the influence of
The attack is so deep that it has even penetrated into the foundation of the kingdom. To eliminate these people requires long-term preparation and the right time, and more importantly, we must not be noticed by them before taking action, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain. I
I targeted the Kant family a few years ago, but it was only today that I completed all the preparations to kill them all. Unfortunately, I did not expect the situation of the Tide of Chaos, nor did I expect the subversion of the Annihilation Order. When I finally took action, I finally
It’s a lot of regrets.”
Ania looked at Hao Ren's reaction curiously: "Lord Guardian, it seems you don't care about the stolen ancient sacred artifact?"
"It would be better to say that they took that thing away just to suit my wishes. This proves that I guessed something right," Hao Ren chuckled. "They deceived me and then made up lies.
After asking me about the two artifacts in the Cassuan Temple, I knew as soon as I heard that these two artifacts must be of great significance to them. At that time, I didn't know that they were cultists, but their motives for searching for the artifacts could probably be guessed.
"
After hearing this, the old bachelor Alfred became interested: "The two artifacts from the Cassuan Temple? What are they?"
"One is called the 'Glory Disc' and the other is called the 'Heart of the Sky'," Hao Ren roughly described the situation at that time, "...that's it, they seem to attach great importance to these two things, even
Don’t hesitate to take the initiative to bring this up at the risk of me finding out in advance.”
Veronica seemed to finally react: "What Lavinia took away..."
Hao Ren shrugged: "Haha, if they are planning to use the 'Glory Disc' to hold some kind of ceremony, then they will have a lot of fun."
The atmosphere in the room became strange for a moment. Several people looked at each other, and the expressions on everyone's faces were particularly subtle. The solemnity a moment ago seemed to still remain in everyone's hearts, but now they couldn't help but feel a little bit amused.
Ania looked at Hao Ren, who had an unscrupulous expression on his face, with a smile: "Guardian, you... are really not in line with your status."
Hao Ren chuckled: "This is wisdom!"
When the atmosphere in the White City was tense due to the cultist incident, and topics about the fate of the world (at least most of the topics) were discussed in Rudolf III's secret chamber, a huge army had gradually arrived in the south of the kingdom.
the boundaries of civilization.
With a fluttering sound of wings, a group of twilight night sparrows were disturbed from the twisted canopy of the black forest. After shaking off large pieces of feathers and leaves in the air, they quickly flew into the cloudy sky. Under the canopy,
Between the dense bushes, a pair of small round eyes shining with orange light blinked twice. The owner of these eyes was vigilantly paying attention to the movements outside the forest. After confirming that there was no danger, a slender figure with a full body
A creature covered with scales, like an upright lizard, emerged from behind the bushes. This lizard man was wearing a simple armor made of animal skin and some kind of carapace, and he was holding a sharp obsidian throwing spear in his hand.
The dark red pattern on its forehead shows that it is a lizardman tribal warrior from the deep forests of the southern border, and the obsidian spear in its hand shows that this lizardman warrior is a warrior in the tribe.
With a slight rustling sound, the bushes nearby also shook, and then more lizardman warriors emerged from behind the bushes, eventually as many as ten.
This is like a scout force, but if an experienced human commander sees this scene, he will probably not believe it: in the eyes of humans, the lizard people in the black forest are just undisciplined inferior creatures with inferior intelligence and civilization.
Level is their biggest label. These lizardmen hide in the depths of the forest. Not to mention scouting the borders of the human kingdom, they usually don't even dare to approach the human cavalry patrolling the forest.
But now there are ten lizardmen appearing at the border of the kingdom, and they are scouts who came out to investigate the situation. This scene is really incredible.
"Human... cities... smell of smoke."
The first lizard man to stand up whispered, hissing in his voice, his nostrils opening and closing in the air, carefully sensing the smell and temperature changes coming from far away.
The second lizard man who stood up stretched his neck, and the dark blue folds under his neck were filled with magical light. The weapon in its hand was not an obsidian spear, but a stick made of animal bones.
This is a lizard man shaman. His magic skills are so superficial that they are almost instinctive. In the eyes of human mages, they are childish and ridiculous, but among the lizard men, they are extremely valuable.
The lizard man shaman concentrated his energy and released an eagle eye spell for himself. It carefully observed the human territory on the other side of the forest, and made a hissing sound in its throat: "There is a pillar of smoke rising from behind the city wall, the city wall...
Fall down, the city of mankind is breached."
Other lizard soldiers discussed one after another:
"It probably happened many days ago."
"The smoke column is still coming out, it shouldn't have been too long, probably two or three days ago."
"The humans have probably run away and fled to their cities further north."
"But maybe there are still humans riding horses left. Those humans are very ferocious and are not afraid of monsters."
"Those humans also ran away. They needed to be near the city to move around, but now their city is gone."
"Should we explore further?"
"No, the chief wolf only asked us to scout at the edge of the forest," the lizardman shaman interrupted the soldiers' conversation, "and the new leader said that the amulet may become ineffective if it is too far away."
The other lizardmen immediately fell silent upon hearing the shaman's words and looked at the amulet hanging under the shaman's neck with some awe.
It was a rough handicraft, consisting of a strong leather rope, two colored stone beads, a feather and a small handful of wolf hair, but the only thing that really worked was the handful of snow-white wolf hair, which came from
The down on the tail of the alpha wolf.
The wolf fur emits a faint light in the darkness. The light is very soft, but it is enough to expel the surrounding chaos forces. It is under the protection of this powerful "magic item" that the lizard soldiers can fight against the chaos that has already been infiltrated.
Move freely in the severely twisted black forest.
The lizard people's knowledge of magic is quite rudimentary. In their eyes, the talisman worn by the shaman is already a very powerful magic item. If their civilization level was higher, they might regard this talisman as an artifact and
Write it into your own myths and legends.
The Chaos Storm that landed from the southern part of Ansu Continent has surpassed the migrating army led by the wolf, turning the entire southern forest into a twisted and corrupted black forest. Sixty percent of the creatures in the forest have died or been transformed into minions of Chaos. The remaining
Most of them buried themselves deep underground, waiting fearfully for the end of the tide of chaos. And more than 70% of these buried refugees will die soon. There are very few lucky people who can really withstand the tide of chaos.
few.
At the forefront of the Chaos Storm, the human city was exposed to its baptism a few days ago. It seems that the solid human city did not last long.
Seeing this scene, the lizardman shaman felt a sense of sincere joy while feeling deep fear.
Facing the pressure of the alpha wolf, the lizardman tribe chose to surrender decisively and became members of the huge army of warcraft under the alpha wolf. Facts have proved that this was an absolutely wise move: they have survived to this day.
"Go back and report to the wolf," the lizard man shaman rolled his yellow eyes, turned and walked towards the forest, "The human city is finished." (.)
