Chapter 16 I am the army

No pain or joy lasts longer than time.

At dawn, the misty gray-white clouds were dyed golden by the nascent sunlight, and bright but not warm rays pierced through the cracks in the clouds, but were engulfed by a darkness that covered the earth.

In the darkness of rapid advance, you can hear the sound of uniform footsteps, you can hear the sonorous sound of armor rubbing and clashing, but you can't hear the slightest sound of human exchange.

The continent of Grandia, the Southwest Wasteland, ushered in a group of silent visitors.

The distorted fluctuations of time and space slowly faded behind them, and these dark beings transported from the dusty plateau of the far north with a dead aura that did not belong to the land.

Bang dang. The sound of metal clashing sounded, and the sunlight gradually brightened, and it pierced through the gray-white clouds and shone on the land, and the scattered dead shadows in the wasteland suddenly began to dissipate, and the darkness that had shrouded the earth gradually melted, revealing the existence behind it.

A machine-like uniform, elite and extremely heavy armored force.

Flags fluttered, black metal armor draped over every soldier of the army, and the flails, crossbows, cross-swords, and spears they wore around their waists were all well-worked and glowing with bloodthirsty coldness.

But the most surprising thing is that this group of beings who do not have the slightest breath of life has not dissipated because of the arrival of the sun, and they are sheltered by a dull black ring above their heads, which contains the power of an unusual death, so that the sunlight cannot harm them.

At the front of this unit, a warrior dressed in a fierce dragon head and heavy armor and carrying a dragon slaying sword led the army across the portal and on the land of the Southwest Wasteland.

No pain or joy can be heavier than death.

Grand Commander Arman understands this deeply.

As the deceased who has risen from his eternal sleep, the general who once commanded the Infinity Army, no one knows better than himโ€”time and death are so heavy that they can crush all spirits and tarnish all glory.

Five hundred and fifty-three years ago, the predecessor of the Ulan Empire and the Gru Empire, the general of the Central Empire, Arman Fernand, led a large army to crusade against the dragons entrenched in the overseas dragon island, because of this unexpected raid, hundreds of dragons died at the beginning, and then under the command of Arman, the army suppressed the dragon's activities and living space layer by layer, until this powerful general personally slashed the dragon patriarch of that generation, and almost completely wiped out this ancient and glorious powerful race, leaving only a few dragon blood descendants in the world.

Five hundred and fifty-three years later, the revived dragon slayer general walked on this land with his reborn army, their glory is no longer known, and their exploits have become an understatement in the history books, just like the dragon clan that was slaughtered and now forgotten, everything is gradually reduced to dust and silence under the sweep of time.

And now, this army of the dead, once full of glory, is marching towards the wasteland with firm steps.

Their goal is to cleanse it of all life.

Since the Shadow of the Dead swept across the entire continent, all the forces in the Grandia world have collapsed under this endless incursion, most of the cities have been quickly breached, or self-destruction, only the survivors who fled to the deep mountains and old forests remain, and the life on the entire continent has been reduced by ninety percent, and ten rooms and nine emptiness are no longer an exaggerated adjective, but a fact.

But even these survivors have recently been wiped out by the army of the undead that is becoming more active.

And as the creator of all this, the Grand Commander Arman did not have the slightest shame or hesitation in his heart, because all this was an order from 'that man', and everything that 'that man' said and did was undoubtedly righteous.

Even wars, slaughters, and the destruction of the world.

But suddenly, the pace of the army stopped.

The sound of footsteps disappeared in an instant, leaving only the howling of the wind in the atmosphere, and the dawn sun completely pierced the clouds, so that the world was covered with light and filled with warmth.

The general, wearing the helmet of the dragon's head, lowered his hand to signal the army to stop, and he raised his head to look at the endless wasteland in front of him.

It was possible to notice that the two red flames behind the V-shaped slit in his helmet suddenly contracted into points of light, and the palm on the hilt of the sword at his waist couldn't help but clench.

Arman saw a man.

On the wasteland, the grass and trees were withered, and the earth had cracked countless spiderweb-like crevices due to the great drought, and a warrior with black hair and red eyes, who had released unspeakable coercion all over his body, stood on this plain without any shelter, as if waiting for their arrival.

He was dressed in black light armor, a one-man tall silver greatsword was stabbed to the ground by his right hand, a huge battle axe was carried on his shoulder, and his face was calm to the point of almost coldness.

The majesty of the sun radiates dozens of miles of land around, and this power makes the dawn in the sky also lose its color, making him the biggest source of heat in the world, scorching everything around him, withered grass and trees are just incidental, only these undead around him are the most important thing.

Arman stood in front of his army, the black ring above his head slowly turning, blocking the pure life energy radiating from his opponent's body, and he knew that this was the goal of their trip.

A peak powerhouse of the Heavenly Realm who is on the verge of the Holy Realm and may break through at any time!

One is the same as their current broken body, the pinnacle of this decaying world.

"Are you the one from the other world?"

General Long Kai's voice resonated through the magic energy, and it was transmitted several kilometers away, and he said in a tone that was so flat that it seemed to be emotionless: "We have a list of the remaining Heavenly Realm powerhouses in the entire continent, especially the peak of the Heavenly Realm, and the powerhouses who are close to breaking through are even more focused on - and you are not among them. โ€

The warrior didn't answer his words, and Joshua didn't seem to have any intention of communicating, he just gradually tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword and axe, and the majestic energy flowed through his body.

But Arman didn't care, he seemed to have other ideas, and said to himself: "I don't know, why did you come to this hopeless world. โ€

"But in any case, you'd better return at once and not get involved in the fight between us and the living."

"That's not something you from the other world can do."

There was a strong admonition in these words, but there was no hostility at all, and this attitude made Joshua stunned, but then he shook his head, as if he was laughing at the other party for thinking too much.

I just do what I want to do.

The warrior slowly raised the giant sword and axe in his hand, and then gathered into a quaint dragon hunting sword and spear in his hand, holding the long handle of the sword and spear, he put on a fighting posture, inviting the other party to fight, and there was a flame burning in his eyes, as if he was telling a truth.

- Only the victor is qualified to speak.

After finishing speaking, the radiation of life energy that kept overflowing around him began to shrink rapidly, surging towards Joshua's body, knowing that the other party was no less than Herras, and maybe even more existing, the warrior would never be careless, and would never leave any spare strength.

"Want to fight?"

On the other end, Arman, who understood the warrior's thoughts, shook his head and sneered, "Pathetic, you don't know what you're up against. โ€

The next moment, the general drew the long sword at his waist, clenched his ten fingers, and stood it in front of him.

A loud bang came from him, and with this thunderous roar, endless smoke and black gas erupted from the cracks in the armor of the dragon armor general, and above him and his army converged into a giant black ring made of endless runes and totems, which linked all the dead together, as if they were one.

"I am the Title Sanctuary, the Dragon Slayer General of the Central Empire, Arman Fernand, the Fourth Commander of the Dead Shadow."

The flowing clouds moved under the control of this power, as if a pair of invisible hands were gathering all the energy in this heaven and earth, and Arman's voice became louder and louder, from the beginning it was just a flat voice, and then it was like thousands of dragons roaring at the same time, and the wind formed by the sound waves stirred in the sky above the wasteland, causing the clouds to surge, the heavens and the earth to lose color, and everything seemed to be unable to disobey his will.

General Long Armor raised his head slightly, his gaze focused on Joshua's body, and the fierce killing intent suddenly erupted.

"What you are going to face is the sanction of the Armies!"

Sonorous! All the undead standing behind Arman drew their weapons at this moment, and the blood-like light in their scarlet eyes became more and more intense, as if they longed for the next killing and flesh.

And silently, a huge, upright military god phantom seemed to wake up from the eternal sleep of the underworld, from the void, this military god phantom has no flesh and blood on its body, only pale bones, but it is dressed in dragon scale heavy armor, holding a bone-shattering war hammer and a split armor sword, and its body is full of bloody and vicious killing intent, as if the resentment and curse that have killed millions of people are condensed on the armor of this military god phantom, so that its surface is filled with malicious ripples like black light.

Five hundred and fifty-three years ago, General Dragon Slayer gathered the strength of all armies to destroy the country and slay the dragon The invincible forbidden method [Lord of Hosts] has seen the light of day today!

And his opponent is only one person.

"I am the army, and the army is me."

"If you want to face me, you will face my army, and if you want to kill me, you will kill us completely."

Arman pointed his long sword at the silent warrior in front of him, and above the undead army, the phantom of the military god comparable to the Titan also stretched out his long sword and pointed at the warrior, the fierce killing machine seemed to solidify all things in the world, so that all living beings would be killed!

And the warriors, their eyes lit up.

He spoke, for the first time since the two had come into contact.

"It doesn't sound that hard."
