Chapter 525: Bright Red Demonic Nature
Chapter 525: Bright Red Demonity
What should have been a peaceful night was now as bright red as if it were illuminated by blood and fire.
Scarlet Night.
The flames engulfed the houses in a frenzy, and the cries, screams, and screams merged, and the necromantic warriors walked silently through the burning houses and fields, swinging their butcher knives at the defenseless and defenseless men. They have no thoughts, no feelings, no convictions, and the only thing they have is to carry out orders, to deprive others of their lives——— which is the only value of their existence.
"You, don't come here, don't come here!!"
The farmer held the scythe in his hand, and looked pale at the necromantic warrior who was slowly approaching him. Behind him, his wife was huddled in the corner with her crying son in her arms, staring at the terrifying presence in front of them with earthy faces, but nothing could be done. The necromantic warriors didn't listen to each other's screams and shouts, they didn't even pay attention to and observe what was in front of them, they just stepped forward quietly and silently, raised their weapons in their hands, and tried to harvest the life in front of them.
"Drink!!"
At this critical juncture, looking at his wife and son, the farmer suddenly burst out, and he shouted and spread his arms, rushed straight forward, and rushed to the side of the necromantic warriors, stretching out his thick arms like a wall to block their way. Then he turned his head and looked at his wife and children.
"Hurry up, you guys go quickly, ahh!!hhh
Screams erupted from the farmer's mouth as the necromantic warriors swung their swords and stabbed into the body of the man in front of them. But in the face of this sudden pain, he did not give up, but shouted and grabbed the long sword inserted into his body with his backhand. Turning his head to look at the two people who were holding the child without looking back, stumbling out of the house.
"Get out of here, run farther away, run ............"
The farmer's words ended there, and with a flash of cold light, his head flew high in the air, arcing in an arc against the background of blood, and then fell heavily to the ground. Until this time, his eyes were still wide open, and he stared with great fervent anticipation at the exit that was already deserted.
For him, it may have been a blessing not to hear the terrible screams and abrupt cries that followed.
“………… It's amazing............"
Celestina crossed her arms and closed her eyes to the screams and cries coming from the flame-engulfed village, her body trembled slightly, and every time she heard the passing of a life, the devil's sister felt an electric rush of pleasure down her spine in an instant, and the feeling of exhilaration, which made her shiver involuntarily. The whole person is as refreshing as drinking a large glass of cold beer in one go in the dog days.
"The end of life............ The life of the lowly is only so meaningful at the moment of death, and Sister Ben is fed up with watching these low-level untouchables wallow in the muddy pond like pigs, desperate to survive hard, this is not Sister Ben's hobby. Now, they have finally provided their due value to Sister Ben, and although the music they played with their lives is still a little rough, it is ............ It is also worth listening to and appreciating with my heart. ”
"You seem to have a lot of fun?"
Rhodes stood on the dirt slope beside Selestina, looking at the village and town that had fallen into a sea of fire in front of him, the necromantic warriors were advancing faster than he had imagined, and the village wildmen who had just woken up from their sleep and had not even figured out what was going on before they could organize any resistance, they were slaughtered by the crisp slaughter, and there was not a single one left. The night breeze blows, mixed with sparks and scorched smells, both wooden and human............,
"Of course, master."
Hearing Rod's inquiry, Celestina spun gracefully and lightly in place, the black and luxurious openwork skirt spun with the girl's movements, and around the devil's feet, there were torn, painful and painful corpses everywhere, and their eyes were open, covered with blood. These are all Celestina's masterpieces, and although in many ways Rhodes is still far behind her fellow devils, at least when it comes to inflicting pain on others, Selestina is as competent as her kind.
"It's so beautiful to have a fragile life in your hands and let yourself manipulate it. There is nothing more pleasing to Sister Ben, like a beautiful flower, you can choose to carefully hold it in the palm of your hand and make it into a specimen to preserve its beauty. Or quietly watch its bloom and decline. But......... Sister Ben prefers to crush it and crush the beautiful, shining little life with a faint brilliance......"
With that, Selestina stretched out her right hand and made a tight grip pose.
"The pleasure of that moment is incomparable, it is a display of the strongest force that can mercilessly deprive a weak being, no matter how hard, how persistent, how tenacious......... But its fate is still only to be crushed......... This is the most favorite entertainment of this little sister, and there is nothing more interesting than watching the struggle of life before death. ”
"I don't doubt your thoughts, Celestina."
Hearing Celestina's answer, Rhodes didn't say much, he just looked at the burning ruins in front of him, and at the same time slightly turned the rotten wooden stick in his hand, the white bone mask covered Rhodes's face, and no one saw in front of him.
"But what would Celia think? If she's here........."
"Ah, Celia."
Hearing Rod's inquiry, Selestina waved her hand in a boring way, as if she didn't care about it at all.
"Master, you don't have to worry about that little guy at all, maybe that guy has some complaints about Sister Ben's hedonism, but if this matter is just concerned, Sister Ben can vouch for you with her reputation, even if you kill all the people here, that little fool with a dead brain will definitely not have any complaints."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Rod couldn't help frowning, turned around, and looked at the girl beside him with a hint of curiosity and doubt. Frankly speaking, the reason why Rod asked Selestina this question before was just to hit the arrogance of this devilish sister, but he didn't expect that Selestina would give him such an unexpected answer.
"For what?"
"Ah, by the way, Sister Ben forgot that you are not from that era............"
Hearing Rod's inquiry, Celestina's bright red eyes turned, and then she stretched out a hand and put it on her chest——— at this moment, this big and small sister suddenly burst out with an unprecedented coercion and momentum, as if standing there, it was like a cruel king who existed between heaven and earth, overlooking all things.
"Because, these pigs stupidly aimed their weapons at their guardians."
"Because, these pigs stupidly chose to fight their masters."
"For these pigs have foolishly forsaken their worst glory............ This is rebellion! Obey the Covenant of Creation, and anyone who rebels will be sentenced to death! Their souls will be eternally burned in the flames to warn all those who come after them not to fight, not to fight, not to fight! If they dare to try to confront their guardians, they will be punished! Ignorance and incompetence are neither excuses nor reasons! No matter how much they justify, they cannot erase their mark as sinners, and the sins they have committed can only be forgiven if they have experienced the most desperate suffering. ”…,
Saying this, the red light in Selestina's eyes was bright, and then she flicked her right hand, and soon, the pitch-black thorn whip flew out of the girl's sleeve again, and flew into the burning ruins, and then only a scream was heard, and a ragged woman was torn out of the fire by the thorn whip, her hands were tightly grasping the thorn whip, and the two red legs were full of scars and burns. But Celestina did not care about her screams and begging for mercy, but hung the woman high in the air, her two bright red eyes suddenly narrowed.
"This is a blood sacrifice and a warning, master. No one shall rebel against his Lord, for the sin of rebellion is very serious. At the beginning of creation, the Holy Dragons relied on blood and unparalleled strength to gain their status, but ............ Hmph, let's leave it alone with the Holy Dragon of Light. It's not so easy to wipe the blood off your hands, if it weren't for the face of her former allies, Sister Ben .................."
At this, Celestina suddenly closed her mouth, then glanced at Rhodes quickly, and then raised her head again. And with the girl's action, two thorny whips wrapped around the woman's legs like poisonous snakes, extending upwards.
"The host......... This is a warning from Sister Ben......... Do not try to forgive rebellious sinners, for iron and blood alone are the guarantors of strength and power. ”
As soon as Celestina finished speaking, she saw that the two thorny whips suddenly stabbed between the woman's legs!!
"Ahh............h
Sharp, sharp thorns pierced the woman's body from the bottom up, blood sprayed out of her mouth, and the body that was already full of holes was now trembling and shaking instinctively like a fish, and the smelly liquid mixed with rot and blood flowed down between the woman's legs like a waterfall. Seeing this scene in front of her, the red light in Selestina's eyes became brighter and brighter, and then she waved her right hand slightly, and soon, the thorny whip flung to the side, and the corpse was thrown into the fire by Celestina like a rag. And it was only at this time that Celestina clapped her palms, and the hideous and dangerous killing intent that had just appeared on that beautiful face disappeared, replaced by an elegant, soft smile. With a smile in this way, the girl stretched out her hand to lift the hem of her skirt, like a noble sister who participated in the dinner, and walked down from the corpse mountain under her feet in a graceful and elegant manner, and came behind Rod.
"What's next? Master? Your purpose is not just that. ”
"Of course not."
Rod shook his head at Celestina's inquiry.
"This is just the beginning, as you said, sometimes, if the bite doesn't hurt enough, then they won't know the pain."
It was an unforgettable evening.
And for the plains of Grosso, the night turned into a nightmare.
When there was news of necromancers operating around the Grosso Plains, most people were just nervous and uneasy, and some even thought it was just rumors. But now, the rumors have become a reality, and in just two days, three villages and towns have been captured by the army of the undead, and most of them have not escaped the butcher's knife of the undead army, except for a few lucky refugees who have escaped. And this, too, finally set off a whirlwind of death of fear throughout the plains.
For a time, everyone was in danger.
Although it is the harvest season, there is no longer a single figure in the farmland, and in order to escape the rumored immortal army, the farmers have also put down their farming tools and fled with their families to escape the disaster in the big cities in the southern hinterland. And the squires and wealthy merchants left their estates and farms in horse-drawn carriages early and fled far away in embarrassment. …,
"Damn!!"
Michelle slammed his fist on the table, looking at the letter spread out in front of him, the old general only felt a sense of weakness.
Two days had passed, and it had been two full days before he received a reply from the Southern Parliament, after he had sent out his urgent plea for help. However, the contents of the letter almost caused Michel to vomit three liters of blood——— and because there were not enough men, the Southern Council rejected General Michel's proposal for reinforcements. They ordered General Michel to "must" destroy the undead legions that were now raging around the Grosso plain, and their only aid was to "allow" General Michel to call up the militia!?
Seeing this, Michelle longed to slap all the white idiots in the Southern Council to death.
Conscription militia? That group of pot-bellied white idiot old men think that we are going to encircle and suppress the bandits? The other party is an undead army, do you want those militias to have a fart? What's more, now the people of the Grosso Plains are panicking, and the residents of the nearby villages have run away, where are they going to recruit the militia?
Thinking of this, Michelle felt a headache, three villages, even if there are not thousands, there are always hundreds of people. If that terrible necromancer had turned these people into his soldiers, how could he possibly have any hope of victory?
Hell, if you can contact the War Angel Legion.........
Thinking of this, General Michelle subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch something, but at this time, his face changed slightly, and then the whole person sat down on the chair like a deflated ball.
That's right............ Now, the War Angel Legion is their enemy...............
It's all to blame on the idiots of the Southern Council!!
Thinking of this, General Michel suddenly burst out of a strong anger in his heart, and then he pulled the letter again, then picked up the quill, quickly wrote something on the letter, and then knocked the alarm bell in front of him, and soon, the herald arrived when he heard the news, and when he walked into the room, he was surprised to find that General Michelle, who had always been as steady as a good man, was pale at the moment, and a murderous look.
What's wrong with him?
"Send someone to deliver this letter to the Southern Council immediately, and tell them that if they don't want to, then the old man won't do it!!"
General Michel was much faster than the Southern Council, and at dusk that day, his expedited express was delivered by fast horse to the desk of the Southern Council in the Southern Seaport. And almost at the same time, the Southern Parliament was also meeting on the current set of events.
For the Southern Parliament, the current state of affairs is not rosy.
At first, their bombardment of Fortress Brunhill was a smooth affair, but after that, Lydia's silence and the disappearance of the War Angels Legion caused the politicians and aristocrats to let go of their deepest worries. That's why they had the audacity to invade Parfield. "Liberate" it from Lydia's "violence".
But it was from this time that the Southern Council realized that they seemed to be on a thorny path.
The battle against Pafield had been going on for several days, but the results were not significant, and although the reformers had been vigorously organizing their armies and mastering most of the Southern Corps, the Front Corps had encountered considerable resistance in several areas of Parfield, and although they had eaten some of the territory of Pafield, they had not established strong forward posts to consolidate the gains. This made the reformers very anxious, and they had already heard that Lydia was gathering and reorganizing the army, so they preferred to get Pafield in place before the other army's army was completely organized. If they can succeed in annexing most of the land in Parfield. Even if Lydia had reorganized her army, the reformers could unilaterally declare a truce and ask the Council of Light to mediate. And as a subordinate of the Dragon of Light, Lydia naturally has no way to refuse............
For the reformers, this bright scene is almost imminent. However, this is not the case, and the attitude of the Kingdom of Light suddenly began to become ambiguous, originally promised to provide personnel and material assistance to the reformers after their uprising, but now it has also become only a part of the material assistance, and will not send the strong people in the Council of Light to provide reinforcements. This is not a good thing for the reformers, and the Southern Council does not know what the country of light is suddenly rebelling against, but now they naturally do not have the capital and confidence to question.
And for the Southern Council, the trouble doesn't stop there.
The sudden appearance of necromancers in the Grosso area was the most worrying thing for them right now, with two or three villages destroyed in a row, and people fearing the threat of necromancers fleeing to the cities for safety. This added to the already unstable situation, and in the past two days, crime and chaos in the city have risen sharply, and the city guards are almost completely unskilled. The city, which had been unstable because of the declaration of independence, is now even more hectic.
If this is not a nuisance for the reformers, then the next news is a thorn in their hearts.
With the influx of refugees, the reformers were horrified to hear that there was a voice among the people——— that they should not have been independent in the first place! Before they left the Duchy of Moon, with the protection of Her Highness Lydia and the Legion of War Angels, those undead spirits had never dared to appear so openly on their land. But now, after they broke away from the Duchy of Moon and lost the protection of the War Angel Legion, these undead creatures have appeared in such a grand manner! This shows that the choice they made in the first place was a mistake in itself!
As soon as this remark came out, it was undoubtedly a blow to the reformers. Originally, the people had different opinions on the matter of secession from the Duchy of Moon, although many people did hate the royal family under the perennial brainwashing of the reformers. But they also don't want to be caught up in war. And now, the appearance of the necromancer has made the already nervous hearts of these people even more anxious. This also makes the reformers even more passive, if they can't come up with a good solution to this problem, prove to the people that they can protect the country from the undead even without those angels, then they are completely finished!!
Although they also sent people to the people to defend themselves, and instead refuted the conspiracy of the royal family that these undead creatures might be, and called on the people to stay calm and not be fooled. Unfortunately, the reformers' approach did not help, because their excuse is very, very close to the truth, but for the public, they do not believe in it. This also embarrassed the reformers, but they also understood that it was useless to talk about it now. What's more, the necromancer is indeed a threat to the reformers, although I don't know if the other party is from the Night Dragon Kingdom or a necromancer who appears alone, but for the reformers, the danger must be eliminated.
And at this time, General Michel's second express was also placed in front of them.
In the letter, the old general, who had always had a mild-mannered personality, made a rare outrage, and he bluntly confessed to the reformers that he was no match for the necromancer with his current manpower. He had to ask for reinforcements, and if Reform insisted on not sending reinforcements, then General Michel would consider temporarily evacuating the Grosso plain!
As soon as this remark came out, the Southern Council was immediately anxious...... ),
