54. The Enemy of the Bones
The arrogance on Kokire's body gradually dissipated, returning to the harmless appearance of humans and animals under normal conditions.
He just looked at Alexis with some puzzlement, not understanding why the war was going to stop.
Alexis glanced at Kokire, a look of helplessness on his face.
Kokire is good at everything, but once he goes crazy, his thinking ability will decline, and he will become the kind of reckless man who only knows how to do the positive, especially now that Kokire is still in a state similar to drunkenness, and it is obviously more difficult to make him think normally. So after a slight hesitation, Alexis still spoke, "The timing is not right. …… The people and the location are not on our side, if we continue to fight, you should be very clear...... The Savage Fortress will end. ”
Kokire tilted his head, as if seriously pondering the reason for the end of the Savage Fortress and the need for a truce. After a long time, he still didn't understand, he only felt a mess in his head, his body was obviously sluggish, and many times he didn't know what he was doing or why he was doing it. However, after receiving the message from Sean, he still chose to comply with the restrictions of the contract and calm himself down completely.
With the departure of the brothers, the Great and Small Rucas, it is only natural that the army of the undead remaining in the Savage Fortress will be completely destroyed.
Although Aderozzo was unwilling to die here, and evaded the interception of Levi and others under the desperate protection of a small group of more elite black death cavalry guards, unfortunately, his escape route happened to be the path line where Alexis and Kokire sprinted back at full speed, and his fate can be imagined.
"I think I just hit something?" Alexis asked Kokire.
"Oh." Kokire replied a little lazily.
"Forget it." Alexis shrugged his shoulders indifferently, clearly unconcerned.
She may have seen Aderozzo. Maybe she didn't see it, but these were not important things to her in the first place. After all, the gap between the two sides is too big. When it comes to the realm of the super strong, the number of people is meaningless, for them they are real ants, and the only one who can fight with the super strong is the super strong, and they must also be careful not to fight in areas with relatively large crowd density.
But with Aderozo's death, the massive Black Death Army soon let out a terrible scream, and wisps of black smoke rose from their bodies. These are the souls of the members of the Black Death Army, and it was only because they were polluted and demonized by Aderozo that they became his subordinates. However, their souls are completely imprisoned in these bodies because of this, and they will never be at peace.
But now that Aderoszo has been killed by Alexis, these souls will naturally be able to find peace.
The only remaining problem now is the other undead still wandering around the Savage Keep. As for the solidified ladder of bones, it is easy to solve, and without even the intervention of Alexis and Kokire, Rena, Shephaneo, and even Cecilia can easily clean up these undead products.
It's just that even if this battle was won without danger, Sean's face became more and more ugly.
When Alexis enters the battlefield and knocks little Lucas into the air. Sean also quickly entered the battlefield with his sword, directly from the rear of the enemy army, and completed the convergence with the Frost Legion, the Thunder Lion, and the Cecilia Guards who rushed out from the front, and then cooperated with their military formation to completely open up the situation step by step. With William in command. Sean is also happy to let him be a big soldier, just charge and kill and nothing else.
However, after Alfred, Clov and the others converged, Sean also heard more about the current Void Duchy from their mouths - after all, Alexis is only good at fighting and killing. Not much is known about the secrets of this kind of conspiracy, so even though Alexis is on the side. However, many key points are still unclear, which also makes Sean have to speed up and rush back to the Savage Fortress.
I just didn't expect it. The news he got from Alfred and the others made his face even more ugly.
His enemies actually want to take advantage of the fire to rob - others may not know the contradiction between him and Lake, but they don't need to know either, because just from the geographical location of the Void Principality, it is destined that once the undead army goes south, the Void Principality and the Wild Land will definitely bear the brunt. So, no matter what the circumstances, Sean and his Void Principality must stand in the way of this front.
However, there are people who, taking advantage of the fact that the Void Principality is at the forefront of defending against the army of the undead, actually fanned the flames in the rear to cause destruction.
If it wasn't for Alexis before, not to mention that the Barbarian Fortress would inevitably be lost, or the Barbarian tribes rebelled, it would definitely not be able to be suppressed with the situation of the Void Duchy at that time, after all, the power possessed by the Grand-Class Tribe and the First-Class Tribe in the Barbarian Land was not a joke. And if he hadn't summoned Tungsten Ramo again, Alexis would have to continue to sit in the rear to prevent the enemy from continuing to take advantage of the weakness, and then in the case of the big and small Rukaschi, the 100,000 defenders of the Savage Fortress and Sean's closest followers would all have to die here.
When he thought of this, Sean's face was hard to see.
He didn't quite know why Rucas would retreat at such a critical moment - even he could see that if the brothers really wanted to fight to the death, even if Alexis and Kokire were able to defeat them in the end, the Savage Fortress would be completely destroyed. But in any case, the retreat of the brothers Rucas is at least a great thing for the current Wild Fortress.
……
The reason for the retreat of the two is very simple.
Something went wrong with the Reker, which was located in the rear.
At this time, in a wasteland hundreds of kilometers away from the Savage Fortress, there were three figures suspended in the sky.
This wasteland had a nice name before the invasion of bones. It's called "the land of plenty."
Because this is a very critical place, going straight north can connect the entire Golden Thirteen Provinces to the Imperial Destiny River. To the west, you can go to the Golden Left Road, and to the south, you can go straight to the Savage Fortress. If you head east, you can go to the Forest of Sighs, so it has also been the first line of defense against the invasion of the Death Tide over the years. Although it was the most dangerous place when the Death Tide broke out, it did not break out every year, so over time people got used to this way of life, and the province gradually became one of the most prosperous provinces in the entire Golden Thirteen Provinces, with as many as eight cities with a size of 100,000 people alone, not to mention the villages and towns built along the road to serve as supply places.
However, this time the situation of the death wave outbreak is completely different from the past.
Since the invasion of corpses began, it has only been a month. The most prosperous province became a veritable dead land.
Not only did the cities and towns fall into ruins, but all the inhabitants of the province became food and material for the army of the undead, and even the land was completely deprived of vitality and vitality due to the contamination of corpses. And with Lake using this place as a forward base, the dead air in the entire land has begun to increase day by day, although it has not yet completely become a black soil land, but I am afraid it is not far away.
Nicknamed "Scourge of the Dead", as the Lich King who is best at fighting, Ryker's command ability is naturally not weak. Although most of the time, he directly ordered the army of the undead to press it up. He doesn't care about casualties at all, but this doesn't mean that his tactical and strategic abilities are inferior, but that his opponents are simply not worth his painstaking thoughts.
Lake was able to allow Aderozo to lead the vanguard into battle, and he also arranged for Rucas to be involved. He led the rear of the army to support, which was already a move that took Sean and his members very seriously.
However, what made Lake quite helpless. Even after he had calculated all the possible accidents and situations, there were still situations that he did not expect. And this expected situation. But it just hit his death hole, which really made his teeth itch with hatred.
Three figures floating in the sky. One of them, of course, is Lake.
The other two are also quite weird, grotesque and ...... Absurd.
The reason why it is weird is because it stands to reason that Lake and the other party should be allies.
And the grotesque is because the other two people except Lake should belong to the situation of complete opposition of camps.
As for the absurdity, it's because the three people who were supposed to be allies were in a hostile state, especially the two who were in opposition to each other and were the least likely to form an alliance, but instead formed an alliance to deal with Lake together.
This was a real headache for Lake.
If it were an ordinary enemy, then Lake wouldn't feel anything, but on the contrary, these two guys are not ordinary people.
A dark red completely enclosed heavy armor, the dark flame luster slowly flowing on the armor, like magma; Three large tower shields with a thickness of more than one meter and a height of nearly two meters surround him, and these three thick shields are more reasonable than huge stones; Even more terrifying was the giant sword that the man held in his right hand - a huge heavy sword that was more than two meters five in length and taller than itself, with a two-edged blade with dark red flames burning, and the sword body had a magma-like flame luster similar to the armor.
This person, naturally, is to let the angel equip. Uriel is a follower of the Demon King who has entered the awakened state. Diane.
After the battle of fate, Diane's strength has improved significantly, although a large part of the credit is due to the angel outfit, but in any case, Diane at this moment is also a genuine eighteenth-order powerhouse, and he is still in a completely critical state, only a little short of being able to step into the nineteenth order.
can be considered a natural ally by Lake, but he and Diane are in opposition to each other, but there is no fight, and there is only one in this world, the seventh demon god born in the miracle plane, the confessor. Edward.
I don't know what reason to consider and speculate, although Edward has been demonized at this time, he is not rejected by the will of the world as before. In other words, his current state was not necessarily much inferior to Diane, although he tried his best to restrain himself from maintaining the peak state of his eighteenth-order critical point, and did not dare to step into the nineteenth-order, but with the alliance with Diane. But it can also exert strong combat effectiveness.
Of course, it was not the same as Diane's borrowing of angelic outfits.
Edward's strength is completely his own. In particular, his unique natural ability, the Flame of Purification, made Lake even more miserable.
There is no other reason. The Purifying Flame is one of the few flames capable of restraining almost all of Ryker's abilities.
"Are you crazy!" Lake let out an angry roar.
He is extremely strong now, and even if he faces Alexis alone, he will not necessarily lose. However, the strength of the strength also has weaknesses: being restrained by the Purifying Flame is one of them, and the other is that Lake's strength at this time is actually a little worse than the twentieth order, barely the peak of the nineteenth order, Edward can also suppress Ryker by using the restraint of the Purifying Flame and joining forces with Diane.
After all, both Diane and Edward are super powerhouses who are extremely good at close combat.
Lake, on the other hand, is a magician, and he is also the Lich King of the Seven Lich Kings of the Bone Plane who is not very good at individual combat - compared to the undead pedant. The personal combat ability of the Undead Scourges is only a little better than that of little Lucas.
If he is fighting on the ground, he can summon the Touch of Cruise to assist in the battle, so that even if he is not very good at attacking the battle, at least he will not be suppressed by Edward and Diane. However, these two freaks, as if they had known about Ryker's abilities for a long time, had been firmly holding the advantage of high-altitude combat since the beginning of the attack, and did not fight Ryker on the ground at all.
Lake had the intention of ignoring these two monsters and only controlling the advance of his army.
As a result, after being "purified" by Diane and Edward of an entire army of Black Knights, Lake was furious and ordered the army to stop advancing. He fought with Diane and Edward. As a result, when the fight really started, Lake found out that Purifying Flame was in trouble, and these two were not the kind of rookies who had no combat experience, if it weren't for Lake's level suppression. is also only the state of the eighteenth order, and both Diane and Edward can defeat Lake.
Listening to Lake's angry roar, Diane's voice came from under the helmet, "He said you're crazy. ”
"I'm talking about you." Edward snorted coldly without looking back.
"That's supposed to be talking about you and me." Diane said with reason. "Didn't you hear him use 'we'?"
"Nope." Edward's attitude and temper were already cold, "All I heard him say you're crazy. ”
"One of you is a Demon King believer. One is a demon god, why do you have to help humans! "Lake really can't figure it out." The Abyssal Plane and my Bone Plane should be considered natural allies, and the Demon God and the like can also be summed up in the Abyss Chaos. In any way, you and I shouldn't be at odds. …… Wouldn't it be better to destroy this world, kill Shaun, the son of the plane, and share the power of the plane's origin together? ”
Diane blinked under the mask, then glanced at Edward, and said, "Are the Abyssal Plane and the Bone Plane natural allies?" ”
"It's just that they have similar positions, and they can't be considered natural allies." Edward said lightly, "You abyssal demons like chaos the most, and their bones like death the most, so they are relatively similar in nature. …… It's just a bunch of rule-breaking guys, but the devils of hell are cuter at this point. ”
"Uh...... I know, I just asked casually. Diane said helplessly, before he became a believer in the Demon King, he was a member of the paladin who really crusaded against darkness and heresy, and his understanding of the corpse plane, the abyss plane, and the hell plane may not be exhaustive and clear, but at least he will not be ignorant.
"That's what I said casually." Edward responded, which made Diane even more helpless.
Of course, the most infuriating is Lake.
"Okay." Diane shrugged, "Old fellow, let's be honest, although I am a follower of the Demon King, I only follow the truth. In the face of the truth, it is wrong for you to want to destroy this world, after all, I still have to survive in this world. ”
Hearing Diane's words, Lake knew that he and Diane didn't have much in common, so he turned his gaze to Edward.
The Demon Gods are all existences that are independent of the system and plane, and none of the six Demon Gods before Edward are easy to get along with. Although in essence, the demon gods can be classified into the abyss plane, but in fact, their relationship with the abyssal plane is not deep, and they generally do not have the existence of the abyss plane to provoke these demon gods. Naturally, after each Demon God was born, their voices and wishes would also spread throughout the three dark planes in an instant.
So Lake knew that Edward was a demon god who had declared war on the two planes of the Abyss and Hell.
"I am the Seventh Demon God, the Confessor." Edward said lightly.
"I know." Lake nodded, "We've all heard your wish when you voluntarily gave up your human body to become a demon god. …… The Abyss and Hell Planes are your enemies, but our Bone Plane isn't on your hostile list, are we? If you're willing to cooperate with me, I can call the shots with the Plane Origin Power and let you get half of it. ”
"Sounds good." Edward touched his chin with a thoughtful look.
"And what about your opinion?" Lake asked.
"I refuse." Edward spoke without hesitation.
"Why?" Lake was puzzled.
"Because the Sean you're dealing with is his nephew." Diane on the side was kind enough to explain, "You're going to kill your nephew, how can you agree to it as an uncle." ”
Lake was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood, and at this moment he finally understood the meaning of the phrase "The children of the plane are favored by the will of the world plane". It was Andrew before, and now it's Edward, and these guys who didn't know where they were hiding before came out one after another to sabotage his plans, even if he had a good temper, he couldn't bear it, not to mention that Lake's temper has never been very good.
"In that case, then we don't have much to say!" In Ryker's eyes, the flames burned even more intensely, and it was obvious that he was really angry.
"There's not much to say." Edward struck mercilessly, "Only you would think that there is still a possibility of communication between us." The guys who came out of the bone plane are really a bunch of brainless guys. ”
"Their brains have long since rotted into water, how can they still have brains." Diane was clearly keen to mend the knife next to her.
"That's right." Edward nodded genuinely.
This made Lake even more angry, but despite the extreme anger in his heart, he didn't act blindly. Because he had already received a message from Big Lucas and Little Rucas, these two were rushing back with all their might, and it would take a while for them to form a situation where three people would fight two, so before that, what Lake had to do was to hold off Diane and Edward as much as possible, and he decided to teach these two guys who didn't know whether to live or die a memorable lesson.
"That's right." Edward suddenly spoke, "Did you just say that when I made my wish, I only said that the Abyss and Hell are enemies? ”
Lake didn't quite understand what Edward meant by his sudden words.
However, Edward apparently didn't really ask Lake, because after the words were finished, he spoke again: "In that case...... So I'll rephrase that. ”
"My name is Edward! My trumpet, the one who repents! I, returned from the abyss, born in the world! I am the one who defends the rules, I am the one who breaks the rules, I am the enemy of the gods, the enemy of the abyss, the enemy of hell, the enemy of the bones, I am the demon god who controls the ice and fire! …… I am the seventh demon god, Edward the Confessor! (To be continued.) )
PS: It's still a big chapter update. …… Cold, fever, runny nose, it's so painful to death, and the struggle is finally over now, and I feel like the whole person is about to hang up.
