In the afternoon, the sun sets over the western mountains, and at dusk, we are in a small border town in the eastern province of Luoying Principality.
At the gate of the city, pedestrians came in and out in twos and threes, and soldiers guarding the city stood on both sides.
"Look, what is that?!"
Suddenly, on the city tower, a soldier pointed directly in front of the city gate and exclaimed.
Many people on and off the city tower and in the city were immediately attracted by the soldiers' exclamations.
Looking for the sound, I immediately saw something gray and mist-like appearing in the sky directly in front of the city gate.
At first, I could only see a little bit, which was not very clear, but slowly, the gray mist became clearer and clearer, as if it was moving here quickly.
Soon, the entire world directly in front of the city gate was covered by this gray mist.
The sky and the earth were all obscured by this gray mist.
From a distance, it looks like a gray torrent sweeping in from the skyline, boundless, submerging everything in its path.
Gray mist came toward the city, like an endless wave, covering the sky and the sun. In everyone's sight, the scene became clearer and clearer.
Soon, the people who were close to the city tower and the city began to look frightened.
Because they could clearly see that in the places where the gray mist was submerged, whenever the gray mist came into contact, the vegetation withered and shriveled in an instant, as if all the vitality was taken away in an instant, and the ground was covered with water.
It turned directly into gray, and in the gray mist, you could faintly see flickering black shadows and green eyes looking here.
"Oh my god! What is this!"
The sound of horror and fear suddenly sounded at the city gate.
In the city, as the gray mist approached, many people slowly saw the strange phenomena in the sky and couldn't help but change their colors.
"Ah, what is this?"
"Monsters! Monsters! There are monsters!!!"
"Everyone, run away!"
"..."
Finally, the gray mist spread to the city, and suddenly there were sounds of panic and screams, spreading from the city gate to the entire city.
At the same time, on the other side.
"Boom!"
The loud sound of a city tower collapsing sounded in the dusk.
In another city submerged in gray mist, the city tower collapsed. Guao took Durank and another mage figure out of the sky and rushed out of the city shrouded in gray mist.
Behind the collapsed tower behind the three people, there were vaguely visible shadows that looked like humans, but with their limbs lying on the ground, green eyes, and movements like wild beasts.
"What exactly is going on?"
Duran's face turned pale, and he looked back in the direction of the city behind him, with a look of shock on his face.
This great change happened too suddenly and without any warning.
In just one night, countless places were submerged and covered by this gray mist full of death. Every place submerged and covered by these gray mist was completely devoid of life, whether it was vegetation or living things, especially the dead ones.
People or creatures have all turned into zombie-like monsters.
Whoosh!
Finally, the silhouettes of the three people broke out of the fog, and they rushed hundreds of meters into the sky before the gray fog became much lighter.
Looking at the city below, it was completely gray.
It's not just the city at your feet. With the city as the center, as far as you can see, almost the entire world is gray.
"The Archmage."
Duranke and the other mage both looked at Guao.
Such a sudden change left them completely at a loss.
.....................
On the other side, in the Sapphire Principality, gray mist also erupted.
"Damn, what is this!"
Douglas took action and killed several monsters that rushed out of the gray fog and rushed towards him. Then he looked at the gray fog that was getting closer and closer in his sight and said with an ugly expression.
"Go, go quickly, this is not something you can handle at the moment. Go quickly, get out of here, the further away the better."
Silver Eyes' voice immediately sounded in Douglas's mind, urging him crazily.
As a god, his senses were naturally far inferior to those of Douglas and others. Almost the moment he saw the gray mist, he felt something different.
"A god is coming back to life!"
Silver Eyes said again.
"What!"
When Douglas heard this, his heart suddenly shook, and he looked at the gray mist in front of him.
"Are you saying that this thing in front of you has something to do with the gods?"
"Yes, I have vaguely sensed the other person's aura. Let's go quickly, otherwise we will both be in danger."
Silver Eyes urged again.
Upon hearing this, Douglas immediately did not dare to stay any longer, turned around, rushed into the city, mounted a fast horse and rushed away.
No one knows what happened.
Even most people didn't react at all.
But just like that suddenly, the gray mist erupted, swallowing up all life.
The Principality of Luoying and the Principality of Sapphire were the first places where the outbreak occurred, but this was just the beginning.
Almost less than a day after the outbreak in the Principality of Luoying and the Principality of Sapphire, the Boruk Principality and other surrounding principalities also erupted one after another, known as the Gray Tide.
The gray tide first broke out at a single point, and then spread crazily in all directions like a plague, wiping out all life wherever it passed.
Immediately afterwards, various countries quickly responded and counterattacked.
The outbreak point of the gray tide in the Luoying Principality was in the eastern province. It is impossible to verify where it started, because it was already two days after the gray tide broke out by the time the senior officials of the Luoying Principality received the news and reacted. At this time, the entire
Nearly half of the eastern province has been directly covered by the gray tide.
The news spread, and the entire Luoying Principality was in turmoil.
Immediately afterwards, the Luoying Principality responded quickly, and several archmages immediately rushed to the eastern provinces to investigate and resist the gray tide.
At the same time, residents in the eastern province near the Kuroshio area were also arranged to evacuate to the safety zone as soon as possible.
But on only the fifth day, news came out that made everyone uneasy.
Several archmages rushed to the eastern provinces to resist the gray tide but failed. On the contrary, one archmage who went deep into the gray tide to investigate has disappeared.
When the news spread, the entire Luoying Principality was shocked and panicked.
Then, a few days later, the gray tide swept through nearly half of the Eastern Province with an unstoppable force, and the Principality of Luoying had to issue an emergency evacuation order for the Eastern Province.
Since then, the entire Principality of Luoying has been plunged into a state of panic.
The situation in the surrounding Sapphire Principality, Boruk Principality and other places is similar to that of the Luoying Principality.
As soon as the gray tide appeared, it showed an unstoppable trend. Everything in its path was exterminated and swallowed up all life. And as the scope of the spread became larger and larger, the death energy inside became thicker and thicker. In a short time,
In less than ten days, even the powerful masters at the archmage level were unable to penetrate deeply and withstand the death energy inside.
"Master, there is news from the count and his wife."
In Luoying City, in the manor, the old servant Matthew hurriedly came to Lin Tianqi with a letter.
Lin Tianqi nodded slightly when he heard the words, took the letter and opened it.
"...Dear Karl, the Gray Tide broke out in the Eastern Province. I heard that nearly half of the Eastern Province has fallen, and the Archmage is missing. Your grandmother, mother, uncle, aunt and I are all a little worried about this.
So I am writing this letter to ask for your opinion..."
The letter was written by his father Ackerman, and it was a little different from the past. The main purpose was to worry about the gray tide incident, so I asked for his opinion, and also asked about the current trends of the top officials of the Luoying Principality.
To this day, for the entire Baruch family, with Lin Tianqi becoming an official mage and rising in Luoying City, it has become a bit like the backbone of the Baruch family. Especially this Gray Tide incident, for
Ackerman and others in the far southeastern province are undoubtedly the most worried.
At this time, Lin Tianqi, who is an official mage in the capital and highly valued by the principality, is undoubtedly the best person to count on.
After reading the letter, Lin Tianqi put it away again, then asked Mia to find paper and pen, wrote a reply and gave it to Matthew, and said.
"Send this letter back as soon as possible, and then send a message from me, so that your family doesn't have to worry too much. If there is any urgent news, I will write back as soon as possible, so don't worry too much."
Lin Tianqi can understand the worries of his father and others. After all, the gray tide has swept through most of the eastern province, and the principality has shown that it is unable to resist. In this situation, I am afraid that the only thing that the entire Luoying principality can keep in mind is
Heping was not worried at all that he was the only one. It was normal for his father to be worried.
However, Lin Tianqi naturally has his own plans in this regard. If Hill City really encounters danger, he will naturally respond in advance.
"yes."
Matthew immediately responded and took the letter written by Lin Tianqi.
"How is the situation in the city lately?"
Lin Tianqi asked again.
"Back to the young master, there is some unrest in the city right now. The Gray Tide incident has made people panic. There are a lot of riots in the city, and there are also various doomsday remarks and remarks about gods."
Matthew replied.
Lin Tianqi nodded after hearing this.
"Okay, I understand, you go down. Also, I want to tell everyone that if you have nothing to do recently, don't go out on the street easily, and don't pay too much attention to the things outside."
"yes."
Matthew responded, bowed and left.
"There has been some chaos outside recently, so don't go out on the streets. Just stay in the manor. If you need to go out for anything, let the people below do it."
After Matthew left, Lin Tianqi turned around and said to Mia behind him.
