Earthquake?

Rod pressed the handrail of the railing, feeling the obvious tremor under his feet, and a little surprised. The people below were not panicked by this small tremor, after all, they were all powerhouses who had stepped into the legendary realm, and such an earthquake would not scare them. And the soldiers were also calm, and they didn't seem to have any reaction.

"Are there frequent earthquakes here?"

Rhodes took a half-step back in confusion, then turned to a soldier and asked. In his memory, the Solagang Mountains were not an earthquake-prone area, but looking at the appearance of these soldiers, it seemed that they were used to earthquakes of this magnitude, which was a little too strange. Hearing the other party's inquiry, the soldier also hurriedly turned around and gave a respectful answer.

"It's not that, sir, it's just that in recent times, there have been some earthquakes from time to time, not for long, and not very strong, and everyone is used to it."

"Oh? How long did it last? ”

"Two or three months............ That's a bit of a long story. ”

If it had been in another place, such a prolonged earthquake would have been considered an anomaly, but here, for the residents here, the more abnormal it is, the more normal it is. After all, no matter what, the Cracks are the territory of chaos, and even if there is a moment of order, chaos is still everywhere. Therefore, the residents here are already very accustomed to rain today and snow tomorrow, and even if they come to the earthquake once in a while, they will not pay attention to it.

Earthquake............

Rod's heart jumped, and a faint, unusually strange and familiar feeling suddenly came to his mind, but before he could grasp this deep feeling in his heart, at this moment, the bell suddenly rang, and then the people led by the old council leader walked in again, which also interrupted Rod's thinking, so that he had to come back to his senses and look down.

It was clear that this time the parliamentarians' expressions were almost unified. Their expressions were resolute, and they also had a vague determination and conviction, Rod didn't know what they said behind him, but looking at the four red-robed old men who were originally "masterminds" now looking at the old council president, they also looked helpless, and they knew that Lu Dao was after this twist and turn. The problems faced by the old President of Parliament should be solved once and for all.

But even so. Rhodes was not at ease, he decided to talk to the old council president after the meeting to see if he could extract something from the other party's words, after all, this matter is also related to the life and death of his own territory. Once the Dragon Kingdom of Light and the Dragon Kingdom of the Night go to war, then their territory will definitely bear the brunt of the battle against the undead army. Despite the presence of a little bubblegum and a canary, Rhodes still hopes to delay the start of the war, and in his opinion, the best way to do it is to lure the Dragon Kingdom of the Night into attacking the Dragon Kingdom of Light with all its might. So that there is no time to take care of yourself, then it is simply a wonderful ending. But now it seems that this is really difficult. Then the next way is to make his territory at least able to have the ability to withstand the first wave of attacks of the army of death——— Rhodes knows very well that in history, the Night Dragon Kingdom adopted the tactics of flowering on all sides when it first fought, and the wise, dark incarnation made full use of the contradictions and competition between the large and small gate lords and nobles in the Night Dragon Country, and launched a full-front attack at the first time, and this fierce offensive came surgingly, which caught the Light Dragon Country off guard when it was thought that it would only develop into a local war. And the Night Dragon Nation is also very cunning. As soon as they attacked on all fronts, they hit the force and gave up the parts that they were not able to eat in the first place, and instead condensed all the force into the war zone that they had already captured and gradually deepened. They then marched as fast as possible with the strength and unrestless strength of the undead, trying to divide and surround each other. Then wait until the other party loses contact and panics, and then eats it in one fell swoop.

This trick did work quite well at the time, when the Kingdom of Light was making trouble for Lydia in the back, and Archduke Lydia, who was distracted by these maggots in the Duchy of Moon, was unable to block the opponent's attack in the first place because of this. However, as arguably the most eccentric and powerful leader in the history of the Duchy in history, Lydia reacted quickly when attacked. It's just that in an instant, it stubbornly resisted the invasion of the army of death. On the contrary, the Council of Light has always been keen to pull Lytia back, but as a result, others swallowed their own territory and were ignorant——— waiting for the flying pigeon to reach the Council of Light. Almost all of their fronts had fallen, leaving only the Duchy of Moon struggling to hold on.

As a result, instead of seeing the Duchy of Moon as a bulwark against the army of death, the pampered and fat-headed fellows were angry that Lydia's resistance was too strong to make the territory of the Land of Light invaded by the dead, and at the end of the day, they even began to accuse the Grand Duke of Lydia of ineffective response, which angered the other party, which made the Night Dragon Kingdom launch a full-scale war against the Land of Light, and even wanted to conduct a military trial against the Grand Duke at one point, listing her as the culprit of war criminals.

What a divine logic this is, Rhodes still remembers that when he and the others entered the Council of Light, he didn't even have the heart to be angry when he read the record file.

And after that, relying on this divine logic, the Council of Light actually privately signed a contract with the Night Dragon Kingdom, and they helped the Night Dragon Kingdom annex Moon, and the Night Dragon Kingdom returned the territory of the Light Country they had invaded before after annexing Moon, and the two sides ceased war. I don't know how they came up with this kind of contract that can't even deceive three-year-old children, and the final result is naturally the same as the ending that all three-year-old children can think of——— Moon completely collapsed under the back of the Council of Light, and the Night Dragon Country, which annexed the territory of the Principality of Moon, also launched a full-scale attack on the Land of Light after a short truce, strictly speaking, the Night Dragon Kingdom is not even a breach of the contract——— because they have ceased fighting, but they will soon resume the war.

There are many theories among players about the circumstances under which the Council of Light made this agreement, some say that they were blinded by interests, and some people say that in fact, there are traitors from the Night Dragon Kingdom in the Council of Light, who have brainwashed and manipulated others in private. Some people even say that this is purely a problem with the designer's IQ, and it is deliberately made so stupid in order to let players experience one war after another——— although all kinds of speculation are wild, but except for the Council of Light itself, which made the decision, I am afraid that no one can know the real reason of the Dao.

In any case, Rhodes didn't have the slightest confidence in the strength of the Land of Light in the coming war, so he had to rely on himself. Although the strength of these mercenaries can be said to be soaring day by day, in Rhode's opinion, it is still far behind, with their current ability, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary armies, but it is still a little difficult to deal with the undead army. But they are also on the right path. Especially from the beginning of the establishment of the mercenary group to the present. Rhodes has always consciously chosen various tasks related to the undead devil to train them, and now the canary and little bubblegum also mostly use necromantic creatures as imaginary enemies for their training, as long as it takes time. Then he would have enough strength to resist the undead army.

In time.

That's all that matters.

"We've made a decision, guys."

The old council leader's loud voice resounded throughout the hall, and for a moment Rhodes even felt the ground under his feet tremble, as if he was shaken by his huge and loud voice.

"The Solagang Mountain Commander vetoes the proposal, and we will continue to maintain our independence. Follow the contract of the present world! Nothing will change!! ”

Hearing this, Ziggy felt his heart skip a beat, and for the first time, he raised his head and looked at the old man on the stage with resentment like a poisonous snake. Although he had not thought of this ending, he did have a glimmer of hope when the councillors stood up to resist, and he had hoped to see the old man come out with a pale face and declare his decision null and void. But now, he heard an answer that was exactly the opposite of what he had expected——— until this moment, Ziegy felt like he was almost paralyzed. Just sitting down in a chair, he had to go back and report his defeat to the family. But.........

“…………………………”

The ground shook more and more.

The old council leader lowered his arm, and for the first time a look of surprise appeared, not only him, but also the other powerful envoys sitting in the main hall at the moment. The violent shaking had already exceeded the level of the so-called "minor earthquake", and Rhodes could even feel the ground under his feet shaking like a plank floating in the water. Of course, with his strength, this level of shaking could not make Rhodes scramble, but the soldiers around him who were in charge of guarding were already screaming. Some clinged to the pillars around them to keep their balance, while others even screamed and turned around to run out of the place——— as the ground shook. Cobweb-like crevices spread across the smooth, ornately carved walls, and for a moment the entire Mithril Hall seemed to be transformed into a storm-swept boat.

At this time, the old council leader couldn't keep calm anymore, and soon there were heartfelt subordinates who pounced from the side, protecting everyone and retreating, and at this time, the representatives of various powerful forces also stood up and planned to leave——— even if it was a legendary realm, it didn't necessarily have to be buried alive by the earthquake to be able to show their strength.

“————！！！”

And that's when things change.

The trembling of the ground became more and more violent, and then the originally smooth and hard floor was directly torn open several huge black openings, and in the blink of an eye, a fierce black flame suddenly erupted from it, roaring and spreading to the ground, and for a while it became a wall of fire, blocking everyone's way.

"What is this?"

Seeing the flames that suddenly emerged from the cracks in front of her, Corinna was also stunned, as an elf, she had noticed that this earthquake did not seem to be so simple——— as the race closest to nature, and one of the powerhouses who stepped into the legendary realm, Corinna felt a strange aura of difference since the earthquake occurred, and the black flame in front of her made her shudder a little, the flame that was clearly raging and burning with joy did not have the slightest temperature, on the contrary, But with a malicious coldness. Even himself who had entered the realm of legends was affected by this cold flame and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Hmph."

It wasn't just Corinna who had this reaction, the vampire who had been smiling all the time also restrained the smile on his face at this moment, as a life that dedicated his soul to the darkness and sank forever into immortality, he also felt the cold and cold air hidden in this flame——— which was also a very strange thing for an undead creature in a legendary realm.

"Be careful, everyone, this flame is weird!"

Accompanied by dullness. Hoarse voice, an old man in a silver robe raised his staff, staring at the flames in front of him with a solemn expression, he took two steps back, and then chanted in a low voice. Soon. A protective barrier immediately flashed around him, and then enveloped the old man entirely. Immediately after receiving the protection of the protective spell, the old man raised his hand and began to chant another spell.........

"Be careful!!"

And at this very time. A shrill voice rang out. And with this sound, the flames that were originally roaring up seemed to have become some living existence at this moment, and suddenly rolled forward, like a demon's mouth, and suddenly swallowed the old man into it. No, that's probably not true. Because at the moment when the flames hit the old man, the guardian spells surrounding the old man also immediately took effect, they flashed silver brilliance, forming a translucent sphere to protect the old mage in it, but this was only a moment's work.

"Click."

In the next moment, the protective barrier protecting the old mage suddenly shattered and split, and those pitch-black flames burned wildly, as if it was not a protective barrier protecting the old mage. It's like a sphere entirely condensed by gasoline. Soon, the old mage himself was also engulfed in this flame at this moment, and immediately let out a burst of screams. The scene in front of them frightened the others even more, and they looked at each other, and at the same time they all moved a little further away from the flames. After all, most of the people here are familiar with each other's identities. The silver-robed old mage in front of him is even the best among them, as the representative of the illusory ring, he is also a spellcaster with great strength, no one will think that the spell released by this old mage is just an ordinary guardian spell. But even he was swallowed by this flame in an instant?

What exactly is this thing?

Just when everyone was in doubt. I saw a black shadow flying down from above in an instant, and threw itself into the fire. Then the wind exploded, and Rhodes' figure and the old mage rolled out of the flames and threw themselves aside. At this moment, the old mage's face was pale, and there were no scorch marks on his silver robe, but looking at the old mage's face, it was as painful as if he had been burned in the eighteenth layer of hell.

I'm going to go.

Looking at the paralyzed old mage in front of him, Rod also gritted his teeth, he hurriedly raised his head and looked around. At this moment, he didn't care whether his identity would be recognized.

"Be careful, everyone, and don't use the power of your rules! It's Chaos Flame!! ”

“！！”

Hearing Rod's words, almost all the people present changed their faces drastically, even Di, a vampire who has always been moody, also instantly lowered his face at this moment, he almost cautiously walked a few steps against the wall, completely ignoring his usual graceful demeanor, and distanced himself from the black flame. And Corinna seemed to have lost the agility and lightness that an elf should have at this moment, her face was pale, as if facing a poisonous snake and moved her body carefully———— even until just now, a dwarf who did not take this flame seriously, at this moment had already taken off the giant axe on his shoulder and used it as a shield in front of him.

Chaos Flame.

Almost no one has ever seen it, but it's impossible not to have heard of it. It is the ultimate manifestation of the power of chaos, and it is also the natural enemy of all order and rules. The Chaos Flame devours the Order, using it as fuel to burn, destroy, and destroy this world. For it, all rules and order are food. That's why everyone here is so careful, they've all stepped into the realm of legends and have their own elemental manifestations——— but because of this, they've become part of the rules.

For the Chaos Demon Flame, these legendary powerhouses in front of them are also part of the fuel, and they are also high-grade oil that has been refined and purified.

What a damn thing!!

The earthquake was still going on, and the cracks were getting bigger and bigger, but everyone didn't dare to act rashly at the moment, and the soldiers who fled because of the chaos were completely engulfed in flames, and there was not the slightest remnant left. But for Rod, it's not the worst scenario. Because since the moment he saw this Chaos Demon Flame erupt, Rhodes only felt that his heart had sunk directly to the bottom, and at this moment, he finally knew what it was that was sealed under the mountain territory of Solagang.

It is a being that is with chaos, eternal, and destroys everything.

A demon among demons.

The enemy of all order.

Only the bottomless abyss breeds abomination.

Demon Duke.
