War 43: Dawn of the Enchanted (6200)
Fearing that anyone would eventually turn into Candlelight, Funia set off quickly in her mech, leaving a certain primordial Candlelight away from one of them and heading to the front lines of the battlefield in an almost flight-like feeling.
This time, she was ready to block the divine will in the pursuers and the possible calamity powerhouse, there was no doubt that it would be a tough battle, but compared to facing Candle Day, it was still too easy.
"What a run, make me feel like I can eat people......"
Shaking his head slightly, Su Sun was slightly dissatisfied with Funia's attitude: "This guy doesn't even want to call me a mentor!" ”
As for the powerhouses of the disaster realm, Su Yan thought that it was unlikely to appear, after all, every disaster in this world was a high-level leader, and he would never waste time on the trivial matter of chasing down a group of demons.
On the contrary, it was the Sun Emperor, because he had a rather mysterious method of will possession, and he wanted to use the demonizer to test Su Sun's strength, so if Su Sun did not destroy the other party's split will on the spot in the Xiguang Tower, then he would definitely transfer the area and attack the city.
Funia and Cicero should be strong enough to stop this wave of attacks.
Su Sun could see that the demons in this city were full of enthusiasm and high interest, because of their appearance, they were no longer panicked with the backbone and support, and the feeling of having a pillar and confidence was different from before.
The city abandoned because of the light of the demon moon, known as the wandering land in the mouth of the demons, has a total of more than 50,000 demons gathered here, if it is not too strong and quickly attracts the attention of the officials of the Asmodee Empire, I am afraid that more than 100,000 demons will be attracted to it.
With so many people, food is also a problem, but fortunately, the ecological module of the wandering land is still in good condition, and the crops that are ripened by the source energy and the source energy beasts that pass by to hunt can barely supply the food of these people.
It was really hard for them to come all the way at such a gallop.
But now, it's time for the suffering to end.
At this moment, Cicero, who had already gone deep into the front line, was loudly calling on the crowd, in just a few months, it was impossible for them to train tens of thousands of demonizers into an army that was forbidden by order, but at least they had gathered a group of brave demonizers with powerful source energy skills and daring to fight the army.
This group was the prototype of the demonic army, and under the leadership of Cicero and Funia, they defeated several forces intent on destroying them, and held the mobile city, giving Funia enough time to reactivate it.
But because they were too proud of their achievements, the official Central Army went directly to exterminate them...... If it can't be stopped, it will naturally perish, but if it can be stopped, then their team is destined to be famous all over the world!
"Get up, we're going to start fighting back!"
He strode through the crowds of demonized people dressed in rudimentary clothes, Cicero's voice was like thunder, and the middle-aged mercenary could clearly see that the people on his side did not even have a full piece of clothing, their bare skin was dark or bruised, covered in scars and blood scabs, and the flesh and blood deformities caused by demonization were everywhere.
"Prepare the Source Cannon!" He gave the order, and then kept walking.
The firing of the Source Cannon requires a large number of Source Energy Crystals to be filled, and Cicero knows very well that they Demonic Beings cannot have enough Source Energy Crystals that can be used as ammunition, so if they want to fire cannonballs, they must use their own power to fill them.
Fortunately, the demons can more or less master a little source energy, and they can always launch normally depending on the number of people in turn.
The man didn't feel the slightest bit wrong, because he would personally be responsible for filling the largest cannon, and only Cicero, who had advanced to the heart light and condensed the initial heart light body, could fill that kind of behemoth.
And in the place where Cicero passed, people kept getting up and following them.
They were poorly dressed, with vegetable faces and distorted flesh, but their expressions were firm and silent, and only when they got up to leave their families would they whisper a few simple words and broken sentences to each other that were difficult for ordinary people to hear.
Cicero didn't know what these fellow demons were talking about at first, but he knew that every demonizer who went into battle with him would say the same, children would say it to their parents, fathers would say it to their wives and children, wives would say it to their children, and old people would say it to young people.
Friends and strangers alike were whispering, and it was almost as if cultists were talking to each other in an incomprehensible otherworldly language, but Cicero knew that this was not the case, and that the meaning of those short words was simple, even simpler than anyone could have imagined.
"Revenge!"
Cicero stood at the front of the group, leading the crowd forward, towards the front line on the edge of the city, and the middle-aged mercenary shouted angrily: "The time has come! ”
"It's now! Venge the villains and nobles who don't see us as human beings! ”
"Revenge!" "Revenge!" "Revenge!"
All those who followed him shouted in unison: "It's now!" ”
The Enchanted are the fuel of the city.
The demonizer is the weak who is bullied.
The Demonizer is the dregs of society.
The Enchanted are untouchable pariahs.
Enchanter...... Enchanter...... Yes, although the Demonizer is not without its fault, the Demonizer can destroy a street and break through the line of five heavily armed soldiers as long as they go berserk.
Once the demonizer gets out of control, it will be a small natural disaster, a man-made disaster that will cause others to suffer.
Even the demons themselves accept that they are indeed useless people who should be ostracized by society, they are indeed despicable people who should not be near the crowd, and they even have to admit that they deserve to be so, that they deserve to be so.
To become a demonizer is to be unlucky, and most demonizers have never even been angry, but just lamented why they were unlucky.
They are about to be domesticated into real, self-confessed inferior, self-perceived despicable humanoid beasts – they are indeed wrong, so all this is probably the retribution of fate.
- This troubled world does not love its people, and the demonizer is the sacrifice of all things to the world.
There are even such crazy remarks and noise about it.
Until a city belonging to the Demonizer appears.
A city that does not have any other ordinary people, is composed entirely of demonizers, even if they go crazy, even if they are aberration, it is just a city of demonization that they have inflicted on themselves.
Until, until ordinary people did not even want to let this dilapidated and almost abandoned city be owned by the demons, and angrily wanted to exterminate them all, not allowing them to have any possibility of living with dignity.
The demons were truly stunned, shocked, and then furious!
It was only then that they finally understood that if they just gave up, there would be nowhere to go.
At this moment, the distant chasing fleet has appeared on the horizon, and Cicero took the lead in pressing his hand on the concentrating crystal of the city guard cannon in front of him, and above the barrel, a grid of filled source energy crystals shone brightly, this light was not dazzling, but it illuminated the faces full of perseverance and anger.
If there are no cannonballs, they use their own source energy and soul as cannonballs.
If there is no wall, they use their own flesh and bones as walls.
Standing at the forefront, they could see the sun setting, darkness covering the world, and under the dim moonlight, the light of dazzling warships rose from afar, their engines roaring like a landslide and tsunami.
"Fire!"
However, with a concise and powerful command, the atmosphere began to tremble.
Arcs of source energy swept through the bright arcs of light in the dark mid-air, like a rainbow, across most of the field of vision, projecting towards the fleet in the distance.
Thousands of dazzling meteors burst out and fell, carrying shock waves and explosions that caused the atmosphere to roar.
The formation of the distant fleet was somewhat scattered, but still solid. They held up the Source Shield, but inevitably slowed down.
But that's not the end of it.
"Go on!"
Cicero ordered again, and the first group of demons who had been overloaded with source energy and fell into a coma were moved down by others, while the second group of demons came to the front, silently supplying their own power to the source cannon.
Then there was another round of whistling and explosions.
In the midst of the roar and explosion, a giant red and white mech was speeding through the night sky, and Funya was going to intercept the fleet while it was slowed down by the city's artillery fire, trying to keep the city out of range of the ship's guns.
At the top of the conning tower, Su Sun looked down on all this.
"The Enchanted have never resisted before."
He whispered to himself, with an indescribable emotion in his tone: "For thousands of years, they have always felt that it is shameful to be demonized, it is a bad thing to cause trouble to others, they are inferior, self-despise, and self-deprecating, they are willing to let themselves be trampled with the muddy water, and they dare not take a step forward in death, and there is no one more humble and humble than them. ”
"But now, they have the courage."
Because, they have hope.
Su Sun silently looked around the hearts of the people of the entire city, and he could feel that the power of desire was condensing, and it was pure brilliance.
Why can't the Enchanted Ones move forward?
Because they don't know where the road is, they can't imagine a better future, just like the demons in this wandering city, before stepping into this city, they would never think that they would be treated fairly, that there would be a city where no one would discriminate against them, and that they could live like human beings could accommodate them.
The medicine needed to cure self-abandonment is hope.
Where there is hope, there is wish.
With a desire, one will act.
Of course, some people may choose to pray to God and expect Him to fulfill it for them.
But others will choose to stand up and innovate.
"I don't need to be a god, Yara, I can, but I don't have to."
Su Sun muttered to himself, he stared at the long sparks that were burning in the whole city, and laughed softly: "I just need to let them know that they can have, they may have, and there will be a better future - they deserve it all." ”
"Then they will reach out and take that future themselves!"
"God can't save those who can't save themselves, and that's true of the multiverse, and even beyond the multiverse."
And the red snake spirit lay on the man's shoulder, he flicked his tail, and looked away: "Even if it is to make a wish, at least make it clear when praying, the wish and place must be clearly stated, so that the god who has time will fulfill it." ”
"Su Day, what are you going to do next?"
Su Sun did not speak.
He reached forward.
Not long ago, Ermas from the seaside capital offered him a gift from Rozeglia.
The powerhouse with a complicated past was very satisfied with what Su Sun had done, and now the eyes of the whole world were focused on the Xiguang Society, the Seaside Capital had successfully transferred its own city body to the sea, even if the Imperial Navy attacked with all its forces, it would be impossible to prevent the Seaside Capital from leaving.
What's more, the Imperial Navy was originally divided into three major parts, and it was impossible to go all out.
And this gift is the design of the source energy engine with the 'First Glory Sacred Rock' as the core.
Rozelia knew that Su Sun had recently obtained a large piece of the First Shine Sacred Rock, and this gift would definitely be useful.
Although he didn't know that the Primordial Sacred Rock had been used by Su Sun to fuse with the Burning Divine Tree and turn it into the Divine Tree's seed, which would regenerate the Divine Tree, this design was indeed of great significance to Su Sun.
Because, in essence, this design is one of the top supernatural powers that the Burning Divine Tree, a Divine Tree, had when it was still alive in the past.
"Eternal Light."
Closing his eyes, Su Sun's heart reappeared in the veins of supernatural powers, and his body began to simulate the structure of the Holy Sun Crystal, assimilating the power of the Divine Tree in his body with the power of the Burning Divine Tree.
What was the world of Aion like in the beginning?
Su Sun guessed that it must be darkness.
Because only in the dark world, the Divine Tree will absorb the chaotic darkness, and then ignite itself, turn into light, and provide the energy needed for the survival of all beings it has nurtured, and then derive a whole world.
God said, Let there be light. This is the beginning of creation.
And if it is the World Tree, it is itself incarnated as light.
This is the original intention of burning wages, burning the firewood of chaos and shining light for the world.
On the continent of 'Eternal', the divine tree that released light withered for some unknown reason, and its corpse was ignited as the sun and continued to shine on the world, while its spirit turned into a magic moon, although it brought disaster to the world, but in essence, it was just an accident caused by too strong blessings.
Su Day, wanting to recreate that light.
No accidents, no malice, no calamities and curses caused by excessive blessings, ordinary holy day radiance.
He wanted to show the brilliance of the Burning Divine Tree when it was incarnated as a holy day.
He wanted to let this land, where even survival had become a great problem, full of calamities and suffering, and that the original creator of all things actually loved them.
Even the demons are among them.
Therefore, in the palm of the man's palm, which is gradually crystallizing, there is a faint light that is condensing temperature and power between the refraction and focus of countless crystals...... Then, after thousands of overlaps and focuses, this ray of light ignites the source energy.
A little fire, lit up at the top of the Wandering City.
And then the fire!
In the middle of the distant Xiguang Mountains, on top of the tower, the seedlings of the Burning Divine Tree seemed to sense, and this petite sacred tree shook its branches slightly, causing the flames burning on its branches to sway, as if it was echoing the 'father' on the far side.
And at the same time.
"Hey!"
Below the city, Cecilia, daughter of Cicero, is dragging a demonized warrior unconscious from running out of energy onto a hospital bed.
The little girl who joined the medical team is now working hard, helping the wounded, caring for the wounded, and not staying in the safety of the rear because she is the daughter of the chief.
Her father is ahead, doing her best for the future of all the demons, including herself, so what should she do to work hard for herself, for her father, who is working hard for herself!
The aftermath of the continuous explosions was faintly coming from afar, and the over-the-top explosions and roars were not produced by the crippled city cannons in the city, but were clearly the ability of Sister Funia.
She was fighting with the commander of the fleet, and Cecilia already had the image of the two of them fighting in her mind, the red mechs and powerful professionals fighting each other, and the huge psychic body roared in mid-air, like mountain peaks and flowing clouds, inspiring thunder in the sky.
Although Sister Funia has some problems with her head, she is indeed a good person, and she does even more than her father.
Cecilia knew that in order to live up to their efforts, all the demons were doing their best to be able to live a stable life in the future.
"But why?"
Hurriedly picking up an unconscious demon, a bearded uncle, Cecilia dragged the stretcher and dragged it with some difficulty to a safe area deep in the city.
In the process, the girl couldn't help but think: "Until now, I haven't figured out why we haven't done anything, and those bad guys are coming to kill us." ”
"Obviously, we just picked up a city that was abandoned, and we farmed and hunted to support ourselves, and no one got in the way?"
"We just want to live, so why should anyone want to stand in the way?"
This confusion haunted the girl's heart, and she sweated and did not think deeply.
Because there is no answer to this question, even if it is asked, it is just a sentence of 'it has always been'.
The world of Aion has been like this since ancient times.
So it's like the truth.
A dark cloud hangs over the head of the Demon, which obscures the light and brings the endless night, which does not allow even the humble desire to live, and it wants to devour all the Demonic and turn them into its own nourishment.
Perhaps, this is just because the dark clouds themselves want to live, so they see the demonizer as a price and nourishment.
But just because 'it always has been' doesn't mean it's right.
Just as Cecilia whispered 'Drink' and mustered up her strength to push the unconscious middle-aged demonic from the stretcher onto the hospital bed.
Suddenly, a light pierced through the rocks and walls, through the steel and pipes, from above, to the safety zone deep in the city.
It was colorless, soft, with a hint of warmth.
The place where the light passed, it seemed that nothing had changed, but suddenly, the demons who were in a state of source energy disorder and coma on the side suddenly snorted, these demons who should have been asleep for a few hours, and woke up with a splitting headache and a sore body, and woke up from the coma in a bit of a daze, and then looked at their hands in surprise.
They were no longer in pain, and the light brought flowing source energy, which flowed through their bodies, taking away all the stagnation and corruption, bringing the source energy of demonic disease, and also taking away their accumulated exhaustion.
"Huh?"
Cecilia stared at her arm a little stunned, the girl's right forearm should have been full of deformed scales and epidermal folds, which was proof that the ancestor had some kind of dragon blood inheritance, but the demonic disease showed the glory in the bloodline in a distorted way.
Now, however, these distorted parts of the body are gradually receding, like a reversal of time, the source energy carried in the light flickers, they heal the pain, reverse the mutation, and resurrect the dying, as if all the damage had never happened.
A warm glow filled the city.
"This, this light is?!"
On the front line, Cicero, who insisted on not falling, suddenly felt that his spirit was lifted, and the extreme feeling of emptiness caused by the draining of all his source energy originally made him hungry and painful, but now, the light regained his strength, which made the commander refreshed and did not fall to the ground on the spot.
He raised his head in surprise, but before Cicero could turn his head to look in Su Sun's direction, the middle-aged mercenary saw that a grand golden-red mushroom cloud was rising from afar, the light was dazzling, and the sound came rolling in with a shockwave after a long time.
Funia was victorious - the pursuing fleet was unable to catch up with the city and help the fleet leader defeat the Harbinger Explorer, who had already failed, so she slowed down and watched the Demonizers leave with hatred.
In the deep darkness, the whole city was silent.
Everyone looked up at the top of the glowing tower.
The white-haired man raised his right hand, and the bright starlight shone in his palm, and it burned like a newborn torch.
In the darkness of the night, which was almost lightless, Su lit up a star.
Illuminates the dawn of the Enchanted.
Then, the mountains shouted like a tsunami, and they reached the stars, moons, and clouds.
—Holy Calendar, 8284, February 12.
The year of the calamity month, winter.
The Xiguang Society was founded in the Mist Mountains, and its owner, Professor Svetley, cut through the mountains to allow the coastal air currents to interact with the mainland, forming a wind barrier around the old Mist Mountains and the present-day Shiguang Mountains.
In the same month of the same year, the city of the Demons, the Wandering City, set out from the southern nobles of the Asmodean Empire and marched towards the Xiguang Mountains, where the Fifteenth Army was ordered to attack and was routed on the east side of the Norsen Plain.
In March of the same year, the Xiguang Society accepted the Wandering City as a stop on the outskirts of the Xiguang Mountains, and the Society's owner, Professor Svetley, took up the task of transforming the city and lit the flame for the Wandering Dust, proving that it was a place of refuge.
In September of the same year, the Xiguang Association grew again, and more than 100,000 demons of all kinds defected to the Xiguang Mountains from all directions, and established villages and cities under the guidance of the Xiguang Association in turn, and the circle of demons living around the Xiguang Mountains was formed.
The Xiguang Society officially became a large force in the southeast and the east.
On September 16 of the same year, the Grand Chief of the Northland Barbarians personally arrived in the Xiguang Mountains and asked to see Professor Svetley.
The allies were stunned.
