Chapter 110: The Beacon of the Falling Eagle (VII)
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ It's you? β
Thus looked up in surprise and looked at where the sound had come from. I saw the figure that appeared from the blue flames slowly walked to the edge of the altar, it was a man who looked about the same age as Soth, but unlike Soth, the elongated face like a jackal made people feel a deep malice coming from inside at first glance. But after seeing this face, Soth's whole person was as if he had seen a ghost, and his face suddenly turned white.
"Lemon ?!! How can it be!! Aren't you dead? β
"Hehehe......... Is this the only thing you see your old friend say? β
Hearing Soth's suspicious Fan Wen, Lemon sneered instead, his body was shabby, and the pitch-black robe shook with Lemon's movements, and under the black robe, something suddenly bulged, but it quickly disappeared. Seeing this scene, Rod raised his eyebrows, he quietly took two steps back, and turned his back to make a gesture. Seeing Rod's gesture, Leo, Lijie, Anne and the others immediately switched positions, and everyone leaned closer together, with Celia in the front, holding the silver-white divine sword in both hands. Selestina raised her head proudly, and the thorny whip in her hand suddenly turned into a black and sharp steel whip, and then the devil lady walked slowly to Rod's side leisurely, and her bright red eyes kept flashing with a strange red light. The Dark Elf had her hands dangling in front of her, two daggers emerging from her hands, and Lizzie took a half-step back, hiding behind Annie's shield. Anne, on the other hand, held her shield in one hand and Christie, who was unconscious, with the other, and her two eyes watched vigilantly. Although there were only a few of them in this huge square, Anne would not be foolish enough to think that they were only one threat.
"It was me and the boss who killed you with our own hands, I watched you fall into the depths of the cliff!"
Looking at Lemmon in front of him, Soth gritted his teeth. Clenched into fists, he never imagined that he would see his face again. What's going on here? Why would the scum of this war regiment who should have been killed by himself and the regiment commander appear here?!
However, unlike the shocked Soth, Rhodes seemed very calm. He also knew something about the secret altar of the War Magic Order, and after discovering that the guardian spirit was manipulated by necromancy, he suspected that there were internal ghosts within the War Law Order, otherwise. How could this soul altar, which only elite members of the Tactics of War could enter, be defiled by necromancy and even forcibly open the soul passage? The only explanation is that the interior of the Tactics of War is infiltrated by the undead, and some people even willingly become minions of the undeadβββ no, it's not that simple...............
"What's so strange about this, Soth."
Rod's voice rang out, breaking the silence. Hearing his voice, both of them involuntarily turned their eyes to Rhodes, after seeing the man in front of them clearly. Lemon's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't say a word. Soth, on the other hand, looked at Rhodes in disbelief, not understanding what he meant.
"I don't understand what you mean, lord..............."
"Quite simply, you killed him with your own hands, and the person you killed is still standing here talking and laughing with you, and that's for the only reason, and that's that he sold his soul to someone who doesn't like to bury himself in the soil for his old age. And he was compensated to his heart's contentment. With that, Rod looked up. Glancing contemptuously at Lemon who was standing on the altar, hearing Rod's words, a trace of pride and pride appeared on Lemon's face, but the next moment, his expression suddenly became distorted.
ββ¦β¦β¦ But I have to say, Mr. Lemmon. You really don't have a vision. To tell you the truth, it's a clichΓ© for humans to sell their souls in pursuit of eternal life, and I don't object to that idea if you have that. But even if you are a traitor, you have to know the true identity of the other party, and it is understandable to betray the living and throw themselves into the realm of immortality. But it's another thing to abandon order and become a minion of chaos. β
"What did you say?!"
Hearing this, everyone showed surprised and surprised expressions, they raised their heads to look at Lemmon, and under their gaze, Lemmon couldn't help but take two steps back, he gritted his teeth, and stared at Rod in front of him viciously. The body that had been flat and wrapped in black robes bulged up again one by one, and then contracted, as if his body in black robes was some kind of existence with an independent life.
As Rhodes said, if it's just selling one's soul to the undead, then it's really not a big dealβββ human beings can't withstand the temptation of eternity, and it's really not a strange thing to want to fall into the path of immortality in the Dragon Soul Continent. Even on Earth, the BOSS in Hollywood movies who destroyed the world for this lofty goal can be discharged for several streets. It was still an ethereal future, but here it is a living reality. However, due to the specific existence of the Night Country, the defection of human beings to immortality is more like an act of defection to the enemy, although it will also be spurned by people, but it is nothing more than that.
But turning to chaos is another matter. On the Dragon Soul Continent, the believers of Chaos are the public enemies of the whole people, not only in the Continent of Light, the Kingdom of Night, but even in the Nine Layers of Hell. Whether it is the evil devil, the undead who seek eternity and immortality, or the creatures who live under the light, they are all regarded as eternal enemies.
If the undead are their "enemies" for the living, then any follower of Chaos is their "mortal enemy", and the enemy will have the day to unravel their hatred (though perhaps in the distant and unknowable future), but a mortal enemy means a situation of undying.
Therefore, when Rhodes told Lemon's true identity, everyone's eyes changed, even the dark elves like Leo were no exception. Perhaps the rules of the Dark Elves are cruel and ruthless in the eyes of outsiders, but they are also the children of order after all, and under all things, order will always exist.
"Is this true? Lemon? β
Soth turned his head and looked at the man in front of him, at this moment he was no longer anxious before, on the contrary, Soth's face was more serious than ever. Sensing Soth's gaze, Lemon's distorted face twitched slightly.
"I don't know what you're talking about. It's boring, but since you're here, don't want to get out of here. Soth ..............." as he spoke, Lemmon held out his hand to Soth. ββ¦β¦β¦ Give me the sign of your soul, and I will consider letting you die without pain. Or, I will let you be born again into the realm of eternity and be my companion. β
"Phew! It really makes me sick! β
Hearing this, Soth spat hard, he gritted his teeth and glared at Lemon in front of him.
"Dream your big dreams! I'd rather destroy the Dao of the soul once and for all than allow the ideals of our ancestors to be tarnished by you, bastard!" β
"That's a shame, and you know that. Activating the Soul Dao Mark, and gaining the inheritance and recognition of our ancestors is what our War Troupe has been fighting for all along, isn't it? If the head of the regiment is here and learns your thoughts, then I don't know how sad he will be. β
"If the head of the regiment is here, then he will agree with my approach."
"Yes."
In the face of Soth's rebuttal, Lemmon unexpectedly nodded in agreement.
"That old stubborn has always been like this, and he doesn't like me. I've known this for a long time. He only cares about you pawns who do what he says, because then he can do whatever he wants! Hum. Even if you die, you will not repent......... He really thinks of himself as the king of the War Method, but it doesn't matter, after all, the Dao Beacon is already here. Since you don't plan to give it to me, then I'll have to pick it up myself. β
"You're only one man, Lemon."
Soth frowned. Seeing Lemon's fearless appearance made him feel a little abnormal, all along, Lemon was the weakest of the three of them, and he never focused on improving his strength, although it made them look down on the high-level of the Tactics Regiment. But I have to admit that Lemon still has some influence among the lower echelons of the War Method. This was also the reason why he was able to convince the members of the Tactics who were unwilling to leave the Falling Eagle Mountain to help him. Of course, judging from the final results, those people were just being used by Lemmon.
"Alone?"
Hearing Soth's words, Lemmon chuckled disdainfully.
"My stupid friend, do you really think that I am only one person?!"
Saying this, Lemon raised his hands high, and with his movements, in the brazier behind Lemon, the blue flame suddenly roared, and then a torrent of flame condensation gushed out like this, and then slammed into the ground in front of everyone. But the flames did not go away, on the contrary, they spread out to the sides, and then the burning became more and more violent, and then, one by one, figures emerged from the flames, it was hundreds of soul warriors!
"They were once the bravest warriors of our people, and around them, they were tasked with holding the gates of the way to the soul, but now they have completely surrendered to my feet and become my faithful servants! Now, is there anything else you'd like to say? β
"This ..............."
Seeing this scene in front of him, not only Soth, but even Lijie and Annie, and even holy sword elves like Celia all changed their faces slightly. There were five or six hundred soul warriors in front of them, they were fully armed, holding spears and shields, and their originally stable faces were distorted at the moment, showing an incomparable killing intent and death aura with a hideous appearance. This kind of momentum is enough to make people tremble and fear. This also shows how terrifying the abilities of these soul warriors really are!
"The Holy Soul is on ..............."
Li Jie clenched her hands tightly, her eyes widened and she looked at the enemy in front of her in horror, she could feel the pure power of order and rule in those soul warriors, even she could understand what this meant. This means that in front of them is an army of hundreds of powerhouses who have stepped into the legendary realm! In the face of such an enemy, do they still have a chance to win?
"Smack...... Syllable...... Smack........."
But at this moment, there was an inopportune applause, and Rod clapped his hands as he slowly walked out of the crowd. He raised his head, looked at Lemon in front of him with a smile, and then shook his head with a look of hatred.
"Honestly, Monsieur Lemmon, I haven't seen ......... Well, that's a bit wrong, or I should say it's been a long time since I've seen a stupid idiot like you. While the cultists of Chaos are just as insane as their followers, and their brains are a bit unclear, it's rare to be as stupid as you. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Whatever you want to say, it's just in vain. β
Hearing Rod's sarcasm, Lemon sneered.
"You're going to die here, but rest assured, I'll wake you up again. Let you be my most faithful slaves. Especially you, this gentleman, you have such a pretty face, and it would be a pity if you were to be destroyed because of itββββββ"
Lemon's words were not finished.
Because at this moment, the surrounding air suddenly changed, and even the soul warriors lined up in front of them couldn't help but have a commotion. And at the same time, Rod raised his head, and then. A big smile appeared on his face.
"Very well, Mr. Lemmon, I think we have a lot to discuss. And I have to tell you one thing............"
As he spoke, Rod stretched out his right hand, and then, a strong light burst out from the back of his right palm, and bright and dazzling lines spread along Rode's arm with this as the center, just a blink of an eye. A huge and prosperous circle appeared at Rod's feet, and several cards appeared out of thin air. Centered on Rhodes, it spun rapidly. Then, Rhodes reached out and pointed forward.
"It's not your patent to find thugs........."
γLaunch Deck: Legion of the Endγ
Heavy footsteps sounded.
Dozens of warriors dressed in pitch-black armor and armed with spears and shields emerged from the void in a stride, silently lined up in two phalanxes. Then the warriors in the front row forcefully placed their shields on the ground, and then they raised their spears. Erected on a groove in the middle of the shield. Behind them, the warriors of the second row held their shields aloft above the heads of the warriors in front of them, and their sharp spears protruded from the gaps in the shields, piercing into the sky like the sharp teeth of monsters.
Guardian of the Holy Lanceββββ a barrier made of flesh and blood. It's an insurmountable moat.]
But that's just the beginning.
Rhodes raised his right hand, and soon, another card flashed in his hand, and then, ten clergy-like beings dressed in white robes appeared from behind the Holy Lance Guards, they raised their staff in the air, and then saw black mist emerge from the pitch-black iron staff in their hands, and then enveloped the bodies of the Holy Lance Guards in front of them.
"What is this?"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Lemon was also taken aback, he looked at these enemies who suddenly came out of the void in horror, and for the first time there was horror and fear in his heart. Seeing that the form in front of him was becoming more and more weird, Lemon suddenly no longer hesitated, stretched out his right hand and waved it forward.
"Attack!"
βββββββοΌοΌβ
With Lemon's order, the soul warriors who formed a phalanx began to stride forward, holding long swords, raising their shields, and rushing forward as fast as a fly. The barrier of holy lancers in front of them seemed to be completely unnoticed by them, and they seemed to be rushing forward, slowly but unswervingly.
"Hmph."
Seeing this scene in front of him, a cold smile flashed in Rod's eyes, and then, he raised his right hand again.
Another summoning card flashed from his palm, and then, I saw a bright red banner in Rod's hand. Then, Rhodes raised the banner and pointed towards the soul warriors in front of him.
"Boom!!"
Just for a moment, I saw that the soul warriors' originally neat infantry phalanx suddenly collapsed, although they were still advancing, but an invisible force completely divided the offensive formation they originally insisted on, and for a while, the originally condensed formation suddenly turned into a piece of scattered sand.
How can it be?
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lemon's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't figure out what was going on. He couldn't understand why the other party would suddenly summon so many warriors. Could it be that he also has the same power to manipulate souls as he does? But no matter how you look at it, everything summoned by the other party is not a soul body, but a living human being.
Lemmon was puzzled by this, but Rod did not stop his movements in the slightest, he withdrew the bright red flag in his hand with his backhand, and then flung forward with his left hand. A dark, pitch-black mist rose from the ground, and dozens of lightly armored archers leaped out of it, raising their crossbow arrows and aiming at the enemy in front of them.
What's going on?
Not only Lemmon, but even Soth was dumbfounded at this time, this was the first time that Rhodes unleashed his power as a summoning swordsman in front of him without reservation. Soth didn't expect that there would be so many extra helpers on his side in the blink of an eye, but before he could figure out what was going on, he saw Rhodes raise his right hand again, and then, with the shining thunder, the soul bird spread its wings and flew high.
Immediately after, Rod's raised right hand pointed forward. Then, his cold voice sounded again.
"Attack."
PS: I originally wanted to have two shifts, but the power outage at night was too long, and it took a while to call, so I couldn't do two shifts, starting tomorrow............ Ay............ (To be continued......)
