Without giving Tayana a chance to speak, Ellie continued.
"The city of Isuoken has been completely sealed off. Where can we go? Once the capital is breached, everyone will die. Instead of doing nothing and waiting to die here, it is better to do something within our power. And now I
It is impossible to leave the reserve legion. Deserters will be executed immediately. I will serve in the legion and your life will be slightly better. This is the most perfect result."
Having said this, Ellie stood up and came to Agulal and hugged her father.
"Dad, take good care of mom and wait for me to come back, okay?"
The man put down his cigarette rod and opened his mouth, but no sound came out immediately. Under his daughter's expectation, the man 1 nodded and made a hoarse voice.
"Okay, pay attention to your own safety."
With the smell of her father's cigarette still lingering in her nose, Ellie reluctantly left her house. She took one last look at the silent door, and the girl walked towards the street without looking back.
In the darkness, a male mage wearing a hood came up to him with a soft tone.
"Little Ellie, you can stay a little longer. You should know that this may be the last time you see them."
Ellie shook her head and spoke with a firm tone.
"Teacher Ignos, I will not die."
The male mage whom Ellie called Il'gynos was startled for a moment, and then he let out an undisguised sneer.
"You can say such arrogant words without changing your expression, little Ellie, I don't know whether to call you confident or arrogant."
"Teacher, just think that I am arrogant. This is my first time traveling far away. I have to leave some memories for myself."
"Haha, I hope you are confident."
…
Outside the city of Isuoken, there is not even a trace of human habitation within a thousand miles.
Waves of black and green wind blew from all directions, and the moonlight seemed to be cast into a vague dark shadow. The bright flames of the brazier and torch began to shake violently, and the flames became darker and darker as they swayed, accompanied by a ghostly sound.
The evil chuckle was finally extinguished with a 'pop' sound.
There seemed to be countless twisted ghosts hidden in the rolling darkness. The shadows of the woods and shrubs greedily absorbed the malice in the shadows, taking root and sprouting from the ground. Soon, the black and green ghosts on the ground replaced them.
The main body rooted in the ground is like a virus that infects the main body, turning the originally vigorous and straight trees and shrubs into indescribable evil and twisted things. It steps forward and greedily stretches out its bloodthirsty fingers in the direction of the breath of life.
Branches.
The shadow quietly advanced towards the city, and finally approached the white city wall of Isuoken. Accompanied by the lamentations of the dead souls, the brazier on the wall stacks seemed to be pinched by an invisible big hand.
He quickly became sluggish, and the coldness blew up to the top of the city along with the dead and evil wind, bringing an unspeakable sense of threat to the soldiers patrolling the city wall.
Facing the cold night wind, the soldiers of the Holy Light Legion held holy stone weapons and watched the darkness pouring in from outside the city like a tide as if facing a formidable enemy, as if they wanted to drown the entire city in the sea of ​​shadows, leaving
Tens of millions of people were reduced to weeping and gnashing of teeth ghosts.
The chest is getting tighter and tighter, as if an invisible hand is pinching his neck, gradually tightening the five fingers that are as immovable as steel pliers. The soldiers of the Holy Light Legion can clearly feel that their life and soul are gradually...
The process of disappearing.
It seems as if I have lived this whole life just to witness death at this moment.
"Give up, join us, become us, blend into us..."
Invisible and intangible ghostly whispers echoed in the ears, and fear and madness eroded people's hearts. However, no one in the Holy Light Legion wavered. Instead, they followed the order and waited in place.
The soldiers who had been preparing for war for a long time looked up at the majestic tower floating in the sky, waiting for the commander-in-chief of the empire to sound the war horn.
"Buzz!"
As if he heard the soldier's voice, and as if he was disgusted by the ghostly shadow covering the sky that disturbed his rest, along with a shocking roar, a silver beam of light erupted in the sky above the En Pagoda, and then
The brilliance spread to the entire city, replacing the silver moon that had been blinded by darkness with an immortal cold brilliance.
The silver radiance spread on the edge of Ixoken City until it reached a thousand meters away from the city wall, and was blocked by countless billowing black mists that greedily wanted to suck out life and souls.
Under the soft holy light, the monsters and indescribable twisted things hidden in the shadows screamed and turned into wisps of ashes. Amidst the even louder evil laughter, the ashes floating in the air became the beginning of the war.
the prologue.
"Woooooooo!!!"
From the depths of the black mist came the sound of ancient and vast horns, the sound penetrated people's hearts and shook their souls.
The pale Cassiopeia kept taking deep breaths, holding the short-handled women's staff [Rose of Temptation] tightly, trying her best to hide her trembling buttocks under the robe. At this moment, only
The warmth of dragon blood ebony can give her a sense of security.
This is the first time she has experienced a real war. It is different from the conspiracy and calculation in the Black Rose Mage Academy, and it is also different from the ease she imagined. When the boundless darkness turns into ghosts and shadows, she is more knowledgeable.
His mind went blank, and his only thought was to escape from the battlefield...
Although it was very shameful, she had to admit her cowardice because she had the idea of ​​becoming a deserter without even seeing the enemy's face.
What ultimately prevented her from becoming a deserter was not the bloodline passed down to her by her father, Du Cacault, nor the wisdom of the Black Rose she learned at the Black Rose Mage Academy.
What gave her the courage to stand here was the radiance from the Holy Emperor, which was gentler than the silver moon and more hopeful than the sun.
When she thought that the man was watching her and witnessing her courage, the female mage trembled uncontrollably, her breathing became rapid, and her pupils were confused and crazy.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! She finally understood why her sister believed in a man so fervently.
"This is war! This is real war! War is so scary, fascinating, and crazy!
It turns out that the Empire has always been fighting against such terrible enemies, and being able to fight with His Majesty Leicester is the most proud thing in my life!"
No one noticed the fluctuations in the female mage's heart. Everyone's eyes were focused on the black mist a thousand meters away, staring into the darkness with all their might.
Heavy and consistent footsteps came from the black fog. Just from the sound, you could tell that this was an armed force comparable to the elite soldiers of the Noxus Empire.
What shocked everyone the most was not the undead legionnaires wearing heavy black armor, with their pale flesh completely hidden within the armor, but the tens of thousands of soldiers who had been tortured, with scars all over their bodies and pus leaking from their wounds.
People of Ixtal.
These Ixtarites were men and women, old and young, all of them were wearing heavy shackles, and some organs and parts of their bodies were subjected to numbing and painful instruments of torture, including nails and limbs.
, those who had their bellies cut open and their hearts dug out were all hanging under the spell of the underworld to survive, as if they were neither humans nor ghosts.
The leading black-armored general rode a terrifying ghost horse. After taking a look at the people on the city wall, he sneered at his subordinates.
"Let these lowly slaves go."
The soldiers of the Undead Legion silently saluted, and ordered the Lich Mage to use magic to unlock the shackles, giving everyone the opportunity to move freely.
Looking down at the slaves who had been tortured to the point of losing their dignity, the black-armored general spoke loudly in jerky Ixtal.
"Your compatriots are there, go and find your compatriots, you are free!"
Hearing what the black-armored general said, the tortured slaves who were not human beings had the courage to speak, and turned around and ran towards the direction of Isuoken City.
"Save us! Please save us! Open the door! Open the door for me!"
"It hurts so much! It hurts so much!! It hurts me so much!!! Kill me! Kill me! I can't commit suicide! They will kill me!"
"Why don't you take me away! Why do I have to suffer like this!"
"I curse you to live like me! Why don't you die! Why can you still breathe as a matter of course!"
Tens of thousands of people flocked to the direction of the city gate. Even the holy light could not stop these people. Just as the people on the city wall hesitated, a man's cold and majestic voice came to their ears.
"They have become enemies. Being kind to your enemies is cruelty to yourself. Kill them!"
While the Ixtar people were still hesitating, the Holy Light Legion and the Imperial Legion had already launched arrows all over the sky. Cassiopeia's mage group also issued an order to attack. Cassiopeia did not hesitate.
The ground cast threw two gravity spheres, which collapsed dozens of people into a pile of indistinguishable flesh and blood in a very bloody way.
The sudden killing did not frighten the Netherworld slaves. Instead, it was like turning on some taboo switch. Everyone became crazy, cursing in their mouths, and bravely faced all kinds of attacks on Isu Oken City.
The towering city wall launched an attack, with fierce eyes that wanted to eat the people on the wall alive.
The Nether slave who managed to survive the intensive attack laughed and bumped his head against the city wall. His brains were scattered everywhere and turned into a mutilated corpse. Within half an hour, corpses were everywhere under the city wall and blood flowed into rivers.
.
"Mage group, burn the corpse to remove the blood."
Noticing the unusual movements of the Underworld Army, Lester immediately issued an order. The Imperial Mage and the Ixtali Mage on the city wall joined forces to cast spells. The overwhelming fire directly devoured the corpses outside the city wall.
Even if the movement was fast enough, hundreds of corpses that were not burned immediately suddenly expanded and exploded. The corpses, which were as powerful as explosives, exploded close to the city wall, causing shallow pits to appear in the rocks of the city wall.
The attack failed to cause any substantial damage to the city wall of Ixoken, but it made those Ixtal people who were hesitant just now understand how stupid their behavior was.
To be continued...
