On the magic map, several streams of light are stretching. The Crimson Kingdom's armies are rapidly retreating, but it will also take a month for the southernmost legions to withdraw to Bluewater Oasis City.

On the northeastern coast, huge wills are sweeping repeatedly. This is the will of the gods.

After receiving the warning from the three goddesses, the gods of the Pharae turned their attention to the area infested by the Reapers. But no matter how hard the gods tried, in their perceptions, the coastal area was completely shrouded in a vast black fog, and it was completely impossible to see what was really going on inside.

In the northernmost kingdom of Cold Rock, there is a church of Xerxes and another small god with weak divine powers, and now both gods have sent down oracles to send a team of scout knights to the east coast to see what is going on there.

Shortly after the knights of the Church set out, they saw a dark cloud in the distant sky. There were thousands of miniature and small fighters, and hundreds of huge transport ships in the rear.

The knights had never seen anything like this, and for a moment most of them remained on the spot. And the few who reacted quickly immediately turned around and fled at full speed.

However, no matter how fast their horses were, they couldn't outrun the fighters, and dozens of beams of light fell from the sky, instantly beating these knights into a sieve.

About half an hour later, a large group of Reapers' planes appeared in the sky of the largest city in the eastern part of the Cold Rock Kingdom. The transport ship hovered at a low altitude of more than ten meters, and the engine room was wide open, dropping tens of thousands of flesh and blood warriors directly into the city. A dozen other transport ships dropped off a large number of mechanical beetles, which stayed outside the city and began clearing snow, leveling the land, and building slaughterhouses.

The city** has a population of more than 40,000 people, and in less than half an hour it completely turned into a dead city. After another ten minutes, dozens of transport ships took off and returned to the city. A single life in the entire city has become a piece of meat in the cargo hold of a transport ship.

The reapers gathered in one place and began to march on the next city. It's a small city, and even the slaughter and processing only consumes half an hour's time for the reapers.

In this way, the black frenzy quickly spread throughout the Cold Rock Kingdom.

When several of the Scouting Beasts in the kingdom were also wiped out, Richard knew that the Kingdom of Cold Rock, with a population of five million, was finished.

After the Cold Rock Kingdom was overwhelmed by the Reaper frenzy, the gods finally got into action. Xerxes was the first to deliver an oracle and launched a call to all-out jihad against all his followers. The god of stability wants believers to take up arms and fight to defend their faith, to fight for survival, and to fight for their homeland!

After Xerxes, one by one, the gods issued a call to holy war.

The trumpets of war were sounded in all the kingdoms of Faro, and the kingdoms of humanity and non-humans began to be mobilized, and although the kings and nobles did not understand it, the oracles that accompanied the miracles were the highest summons, so they obeyed, opened the warehouses and distributed the weapons to the people.

The smart people with a heart are all frightened, this is clearly the rhythm of the entire plane mobilization!

This kind of thing has only happened once in history, and that is the battle of the Star Beast Invasion.

Richard's face was always gloomy, and he did not give any other orders except to order the legions to speed up their retreat.

Mexes sat next to Richard, apparently feeling the oppression of the atmosphere, and therefore surprisingly did not give Richard any trouble.

At this moment, another unexpected news came. At some point, a small force of the Reapers, crossed the vast no-man's land and appeared in a city east of Richard's predetermined line of defense in the Iron Triangle Empire.

The size of this force is not large, and the city of the Iron Triangle Empire was formerly a military fortress, and it is still stationed with heavy troops at the moment. An elite unit of the brood happened to be close to the left, so a bloody battle resulted in the destruction of the Reaper's army. But the Brood Force and the Iron Triangle Empire's coalition forces also suffered more than half of the casualties, and nearly 40,000 of the city's 90,000 people died!

After the attack, Sarenwell, who had been commanding the defense line in the defense line, rushed to the city as soon as possible, and the brood also mobilized four distractions and a large number of worker bees to arrive, and the worker bees would clean up the corpses of the city, and the distractions would continue to transmit the sights to Richard.

The city has turned into hell.

On the outer edge of the city, the Reaper has set up two slaughterhouses with unique efficiency. A large number of corpses have been sent to the slaughterhouse for 'processing'. When the brood's forces arrived, the Reaper's forces were wiped out, and even the mechanical beetles began to join the fight. As a result, there are a large number of corpses left in the slaughterhouse that have been cut in half and have not had time to be compressed and sealed.

Not far away, a transport ship was wrecked on the ground, its cargo hold shattered, and a large amount of flesh and blood pieces were scattered everywhere. Some of the pieces of flesh were broken by the membrane on the outside, and blood, internal organs, and broken bones flowed out of the inside, flowing all over the ground.

When the soldiers of the Iron Triangle Empire saw this scene, even though they were all veterans of the battlefield, many of them couldn't help but vomit.

Sarenwell's face turned so frightened that he immediately ordered the troops he brought with him to cordon off the scene, isolate the city from the slaughterhouse, and prevent the surviving residents of the city from seeing the scene.

Then Sarenwell went into the slaughterhouse with his guards, and dragged out the corpses that were still intact and put them aside, while the corpses that had been cut up were piled up.

There were tens of thousands of corpses piled up on the slaughterhouse.

Sarenwell carried them one by one, completely oblivious to the fact that his whole body was soaked in blood. Hundreds of humanoid knights came to the slaughterhouse to help at this time, and only then did they speed up the progress.

It wasn't until near dusk that the entire slaughterhouse was cleared. The intact corpses were laid out on the ground in rows, looking shocking.

The corpses and pieces of flesh were piled up into small hills, and Sarenwell poured a jar of fire oil on them with his own hands, and the Imperial soldiers continued to pour oil on the pile. When the oil soaked through the corpse pile, Sarenwell condensed a fireball in his hand and threw it at the corpse pile. The flames immediately rose into the sky, carrying billowing black smoke into the sky.

The light of the fire made Sarenwell's face flicker and darken, and every line of his face was as deep as if it carried countless pains and responsibilities.

Torrenwell beckoned to the sky, and a moment later a split brain descended from the sky and landed in front of him.

"I'm going to talk to His Highness Richard. ”

After a few flashes in his eyes, Richard's voice sounded: "I'm here, Sarenwell." ”

"You've seen that, right?"

"I see more. ”

Sarenwell nodded and said, "An Imperial legion was stationed here, and later a brood reinforcement arrived to destroy the enemy. But looking at this battlefield, all I can say is that we actually lost. Your Highness, you are right, the Reapers, indeed, are terrifying, they are almost invincible. But "

Sarenwell's expression was extraordinarily calm and said slowly: "Your Highness, I know that you can only take a small number of people. Most of them had to stay in Faro and face the Reapers. And what happens here is their fate in the future. But they are all my people, and I am their emperor. At this time, I can't leave them behind and run away from Faro on my own!"

The puppet emperor took a deep breath and said word by word: "I have decided to stay, to be with my people." When the army of reapers arrives, their emperor should be at the forefront!"

After a long silence, Richard said, "I see." ”

Sarenwell's gaze seemed to travel through time and space, landed on Richard, gave him one last deep look, and then turned and strode away.

In Oasis City, Richard told all his followers to leave, standing alone in front of the map of Faro, silent.

At this moment, in the royal city of the Holy Tree Dynasty, a small group of church personnel braved the wind and snow to walk briskly, and soon came to an ancient church, and knocked on the dark black heavy iron door.

With a creak, the iron door opened a crack, revealing an old, gloomy face.

It was an old priest in a white robe, and he looked the people outside the door up and down, his face full of vigilance. Strange to say, both are clergy of the Glorious Church, but the old priest is on guard against outsiders like a thief.

Among the clergy outside the door, a man suddenly stepped out. He lifted his hood, showed his face, and said, "I want to find the Chinese archbishop." ”

The old priest was taken aback and lost his voice: "His Highness the Holy Son!"

But when he recognized the person, instead of getting out of the way, he blocked the crack in the door more tightly, as if he was afraid that the other party would break in.

At this time, an old voice sounded in the courtyard: "Let them in." ”

"But," the old priest was visibly reluctant.

"It doesn't matter, let them in. ”

The old priest then forcefully opened the iron door and let Saint Martin and his party in.

Martin glanced up at the ancient and magnificent arcades of the church, ordered the paladins to wait outside the church, and walked in alone.

In front of the altar of the church, the Chinese archbishop wore a high crown on his head, wore the red robe of the cardinal archbishop, and held a holy book in his hand, reading it carefully.

Seeing Martin come in, Hua Wen closed the holy text in his hand and said to Martin, "You shouldn't have come in." This is my field now. Even if you are the Son, you will only have a share of restraint in this church. ”

Unfazed, Martin continued to walk towards the Chinese language.

The light in Hua Wen's eyes flashed, and several flash chains appeared in the void, and the volley was set on Martin's body, instantly locking him firmly!

Martin struggled several times in a row, the holy light flashed all over his body, and countless divine texts flew around his body, but at most, he could only hold these chains open more and more, but he couldn't break them. And as long as these chains continue, Martin can't move.

Hua Wen picked up a short sword from the altar, dipped it in the holy water pool next to it, walked to Martin's side, calmly rested the blade on his neck, and gently pulled it.

Martin immediately had a thin red line on his skin, and a few drops of blood immediately oozed out. There was a little bit of gold in his blood!

Hua Wen's eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a look of disbelief, and said, "Your faith is still so pure! Don't you know that the Lord of Radiance is?"

ps: Thank you to the new alliance leader, Young Master Yan Xuan.

New Year's Eve is still an hour away, Happy New Year everyone!

In the new year, we will all face more choices. In fact, right and wrong are only relative, and gains and losses are not the most important, just follow your heart. I encourage you all.
