Chapter 66 Civil War in Shutoral: Evil and Frost Death
Chapter 560 Civil War in Shutoral: Evil and Frost Death Knights
Raindrops fell on the ground, raising a familiar smell. A cold wind that did not belong to this season blew, making Lansada, wrapped in a cloak, shiver.
The novice nun has passed the entrance examination of Homemonworth, but now she is still a cleric of the Storm Squadron, leading a small team with Paxiu to patrol along the ancient walls of Homemonworth.
It was dark and cold, and patrolling was a real chore. When everyone stopped to rest, Lansada climbed up to the tower of the city wall and looked into the hazy rain and fog.
Under the slope of the southern city wall of Homemonworth is the endless Whispering Forest. It is said that there is a road that leads through the dark green forest to the foot of Bayerland City. The lost curses from the ancient era have accumulated there for unknown reasons.
They came to an ominous place that was inaccessible to people. When everyone was taking a rest, they always said that there were innocent souls and strange mutated creatures wandering there. Anyone who didn't want to live could go there for a walk.
Surrounded by cliffs, fjords and whispering forests, Homonworth is silent. The edge of the dim vision seems to have been drawn with a black line with charcoal, which makes people feel depressed.
The strong loneliness will turn into reality.
Lansada's mood was so chaotic that she had no clue. First she doubted whether it was rational for her to come here to enroll in school in the fall. Then she thought that this was arranged by Griffith, whom she admired, and there was no reason to worry. Finally, slowly, she couldn't get rid of the terrible situation.
Emotionally, I began to doubt whether the captain's sanity was actually problematic...
There was an imperceptible, repetitive and vague whisper in the sound of the rain, hoarse and deep, mixed with indescribable noises.
Lanzada was agitated for a while, and she opened her eyes wide and looked around, looking for the source of the sound. However, she found nothing.
"I must not have had a good rest these past two days~" the trainee nun muttered, rubbing her forehead.
Vaguely, she seemed to see a faint firelight and two faint neighing sounds in the cemetery to the southwest.
"Lansada!"
"Ah——!" The girl was startled by the shout. She pulled out the hammer from her waist and moved towards the direction of the shout.
"Oh, hey, hey..." Paxiu, who had climbed up the tower, almost had his head smashed by the hammer and hurriedly took two steps back. "The ranger said you can't stare at the forest for a long time. Come on, let's make some hot food."
Tea!"
"Hey, I'm sorry..." Lanzada put away his weapon in embarrassment, "Why did I forget about this... Wait, Mr. Kroger reminded me of this?"
Lanzada thought for a while and found that he had no impression of this matter at all.
"I must have said that! Yes, you have lost your mind just like Desai," Paxiu shook his head sympathetically, "I just said there is something wrong with this college. I heard it in my hometown, it is Hometown Watts
Shadow, the labyrinth of illusion that consumes sanity!”
"Huh!" Lanzada didn't believe this nonsense, "According to what you said, Count Larmore, Captain Griffith, and Desai, they are all rational and powerful law breakers, jumping in one after another.
It’s a maze that you can’t extricate yourself from, right~”
Paxiu immediately caught the flaw: "But they have all abandoned the hopeless path of being a lawbreaker, haven't they! Desai will do the same sooner or later!"
The two of them kept arguing with each other as they walked down the stairs. After walking down the last step, Lanzada suddenly stopped.
"Where are the people?"
The other members of the team - the city defense troops dispatched from nearby, the hired workers of the college - were all gone. Their weapons, lanterns and wet cloaks were lying around, the campfire was crackling, and a few of them were drinking tea.
The wooden bowl fell to the ground, and the steaming tea flowed along the ground to the corner.
Lansada and Paxiu immediately raised their weapons and shields, standing back to back on guard. They held their breath and turned their eyes rapidly, not daring to miss a single gap between the roof and the corner of the wall.
The lower level of the tower was eerily quiet. Lanzada could even hear water dripping along the cracks in the stones, and Paxiu's heartbeat was beating like a war drum.
At this time, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, very fast and very light. Lanzada faced the direction of the footsteps and silently recited a prayer. His spiritual energy circled the hammer, ready to strike at any time to shatter the darkness.
"Lansada, Paxiu!" The voice of Kallen from the Storm Squadron came from outside. She jumped into the room on the lower floor of the tower and shouted to her companions, "Come quickly, there is a situation in the cemetery."
…
Hometown Cemetery is where those who were not sent back to their hometowns are buried here.
Here, just like the tower, all the school guards who were guarding were missing. Several tombs were seriously damaged. Many white tombstones were toppled, the tombs collapsed, and the coffins were dug up, leaving them empty. The excavated soil was messy.
Footprints and broken branches curved and extended into the nearby woods.
"Who dares to come to Homonworth to rob the tomb?" Paxiu looked around, took out a flare and shot it into the sky, "They must not have gone far, let's catch up."
"wrong."
Lanzada half-knelt on the ground and inspected carefully. There were no signs of knocking, hacking, or even scratches on the surface of the damaged coffin. The wooden boards were smashed from the inside, and a lot of sand fell from the coffin, and the soil next to the tomb fell.
rare.
"The tomb was dug from the inside," Lanzada said with a serious expression. "Look at the traces nearby. The soil flew up and spread around, and then collapsed downwards."
Paxiu and Kallen were both stunned. They had heard about Raven's incident and read the report, but this was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes, and it happened in Homemonworth...
"Get out of here!" Lanzada raised his shield and prayed to the holy light. The golden light dispelled the darkness, but revealed the ominous things hidden there.
The air was freezing, even the breath turned into white smoke in the ice mist, and the bone-eroding chill spread along the toes to the spinal cord. Ghosts roared, and bursts of indescribable murmurs penetrated the heart.
The terrifying and distant shouts were getting closer and closer, and their breath even caught the three of them, making their bodies stiff and unable to move their eyes. Lanzada couldn't see the figures emerging in the shadows clearly, but he could hear the heavy sound of horse hooves and the sound of rain.
He screamed loudly, and the pressure was so powerful that he couldn't bear to look directly at it, making him breathless.
It comes from a distant world, and every sound and breath hints of disaster.
There are two.
"Kneel before us, mortals."
Lanzada, Paxiu and Kallen knelt down uncontrollably, as if there was a mountain pressing on them.
In the shadows and mist, two knights riding black horses slowly appeared. They were wearing gleaming plate armor and black robes, and their long black and white hair hung down from the ferocious and sharp helmet slits.
The horse's hooves hit the tombstone, making a harsh crackling sound, and the high-quality stone tablet followed in response, making people tremble from the heart at the terrifying power of the knight. Just seeing the shadow and iron hooves on the ground, Lanzada already felt his own
My soul is torn to pieces, I want to escape, but I can't move an inch.
"Lift your head and look into my eyes," a cold voice commanded.
The shackles of his thoughts loosened a little, and Paxiu raised his hand a little, and his voice suddenly changed in shock:
"Hey, it's the Death Knight! Back away!"
A gust of wind swept through and directly threw the lost Paxiu out. Kallen, who had the weakest resistance, could not bear the pressure of the dark psychic energy and fainted. Lanzada gritted his silver teeth and tried his best to face the unbelievable horror.
:
"Why didn't your souls go to the kingdom of God? Do you still want to stay in the mortal world and become the knights of the immortal king?
"Nona Octavius,
"Culala Litigne."
The white-haired death knight raised his hand and shook it, and the ice froze Lanzada's body.
"She is Griffith's confidant and useful."
"I know, let her become a servant and lead us closer to the goal."
The ice ring strangled Lanzada's throat tightly, making it impossible to breathe. Her vitality was losing, and some kind of weird, cold breath was taking over her body bit by bit.
Unable to struggle, the novice nun slipped towards the icy abyss, and the darkness sank deeper and deeper. Suddenly——!
A winding silver arc shattered the darkness and ice. The scarlet magic eye as bright as a gem burst out with a pressure crazier than the chill of death, and the vast and distant atmosphere as vast as the starry sky stared at it under the guidance of the magic eye.
The death knights Nona and Kulala sensed the approaching danger and hurriedly drove their skeletal horses to dodge to both sides. A group of extremely chaotic ghouls emerged from the darkness behind them and pounced on the scarlet evil eye.
A sharp, slender scarlet electric light was suddenly drawn from the air, stabbing straight into the heart and lungs like a thin sword thrust out of the darkness, and it also carried an indescribable aura of nothingness.
The ghouls that rushed forward were hit by this electric light, and exploded in groups with a "pop" sound like bursting water bladders. Amid the strong burnt smell, a large area of finely divided carrion and bone foam was splashed.
.
Ophelia was surrounded by terrifying crimson arcs and came to Lansada's side. With a tap of her, the trainee nun was freed from her confinement.
"Get out of here quickly and send a warning," Ophelia stood in front of Lanzada and looked at her familiar friends. "Mura and Russell will be sad, and Berthier, he misses you too.
Become crazy……
"How can you face each other when things become like this?
"How to do it……
"I can only crush you and let them blame me..."
Nona and Kulala were facing a formidable enemy. They drove skeletal horses and armed with cold bone swords and ice spears, flanking them on the left and right.
A hurricane-like vortex suddenly appeared in Ophelia's hand, and the irresistible force was like a group of rapidly rotating sharp blades. In the center of this storm, a black crack the size of a grain of rice was trembling and shrinking.
There is nothing in the black crack, only endless darkness and nothingness, and not even light can escape its swallowing.
Ophelia raised her right hand high and threw down the whirlpool of the void:
"The time of annihilation has come, destruction is coming.
"The tentacles of nothingness have wrapped around you...
