Chapter 238, Dark Age
If the Sea of Chaos is the ocean that supplies the ups and downs of each world, then at this time, Du Yuan dragged this small world into a turbulent undercurrent.
The undercurrent is turbulent, but also dangerous, the power flowing in disorder, the broken rules, and some indescribable things, all of which have a great impact on this small world.
Darkness has fallen.
But it also represents opportunity.
In the undercurrent of this sea of chaos, the most essential power is revealed. The primitive elements, the cornerstone of everything, are pouring crazily into this small world.
The concentration of elements in the small world is rising rapidly.
This is a force that even the world cannot digest. With the surging undercurrent coming to this small world, it is a force that will change even the world.
It will definitely bring something.
The limits of the world may be briefly opened.
But no one knows for the time being what changes this will bring.
The journey may be farther than the passengers on the journey imagine.
Not a chaotic journey.
A group of colorful lights emerged in front of the small world in this surging undercurrent, like a beacon and a pilot.
In the small world, above the sky, in the scarlet field.
Du Yuan was getting more and more tired, and there were more and more cracks in his body, dragging the dying stargazing god with him.
Exhausted, he was unable to choose the destination of this journey.
The world is racing towards the position etched in the colorful lines with them all.
That location was engraved by the main god who disappeared in history, and what kind of magic is there in a place that can be valued so highly by the main god as a treasure that he would even use a big world as fuel just to be able to go there.
What exactly is there.
………….
Such changes did not interrupt the fighting between the two guys in the world.
The capable middle-aged man swung the long sword. Even the darkness that fell instantly did not affect his concentration. At this time, all he could see was the guy wielding the scarlet spear.
The giant bear's eyes on the arm armor lit up, and the bright yellow gemstone lit up.
At this moment, this capable middle-aged man gained an inexplicable power, and a heavy and mighty sword was swung out.
Rat Zhan, on the other hand, was a little more surprised.
Looking at the sky, he also looked at the darkness that suddenly fell, but not at the guy who was attacking him.
Facing the fallen sword, he waved his scarlet spear and faced it.
The heavy sword carried unimaginable power. Shu Zhan was unable to resist such power and took several steps back.
The steps were a little staggering.
But this does not mean that he has no way to fight the guy in front of him. The outcome of the battle does not just depend on the strength of a single aspect.
And even if the middle-aged man in front of him used the armor, he couldn't completely overwhelm Shu Zhan in terms of strength.
The blood mushrooms did not bring any special power to the rat people. They were just simple things that optimized life itself and enhanced flesh and blood.
The intuitive response is in the four aspects of strength, speed, endurance, and reaction.
After standing firm at the end, Rat Zhan also knocked down a rat warrior who had just rushed into the battle line. The rat warrior wanted to curse in anger, but the next second a scarlet spear penetrated him. body.
Shu Zhan raised his head, and in the darkness, his scarlet eyes were particularly conspicuous.
Boundless violence filled these violent eyes.
He stared at the middle-aged man who kept swinging his sword, but only glanced at it.
The arrogant guy ignored the enemy on the battlefield who dared to confront him. He was just a guy who was about to die.
This suddenly darkened world made Shu Zhan feel a little uneasy.
He took off the flag he was carrying behind him.
With a sharp scream, the surging rat warriors got the signal.
The suddenly darkened world not only made the rat war a little more confused and uncertain, but the morale of the human side also suffered a huge blow, facing this incomprehensible situation.
If the accompanying mages had not released the illumination spell in time, I am afraid that in the dark moment, the front composed of the militiamen would have been defeated.
The rat war began to retreat.
Such a scene reminded him of the horrific blow he suffered not long ago.
Holding the flag high, he retreated into the darkness.
The rat people began to retreat, and in the noisy sound, pairs of scarlet eyes disappeared into the darkness.
After a brief silence, violent cheers rang out.
The mages breathed a sigh of relief as the terrified militiamen cried out for their victory.
One of the military mage even had the intention to start chanting. During the casual chanting, a brilliant magic firework exploded in the sky.
In the colorful light spots.
Some young militiamen raised their heads and stared intently at this. This was something they had never seen before, a beautiful thing.
The mage was a little surprised, he just chanted casually.
The stagnation after the brutal fight was diluted by the magic fireworks thrown by the mage unintentionally.
The blood-stained knights gathered in front of the middle-aged man again.
One of the twenty-four knights is missing, a younger guy.
But the middle-aged man's subsequent words were like the boulder thrown into the deep pool.
The middle-aged man put the sword in his hand with some difficulty.
"Let's go, you all go, I can't stop that guy, this time the real disaster is coming.
Go to the back and take the people with you. Those cowards behind won't dare to stop you.
Go and station yourself near that city.
By the way, remember to take everything in my castle away. You may be a bit cowardly at first, but when that guy comes back, those cowards will need you. "
The knights who originally held their heads high fell into panic.
The flickering spell fireworks died down.
Looking down, the field was a mess, with dead rats and dead humans.
………….
The world went into darkness, literally darkness.
At first, everyone just thought it was dark.
No one cares about the darkness at this moment, until he is closely related to everyone.
Well, not really.
The dark night suddenly fell, and there was no star in the vast starry sky. The magic power in the world was rising at an extremely fast speed.
There is a problem in the world. This is the time when mortals need the gods the most. However, all the gods under the crown have lost contact at this time, and the statues of the gods are all dim.
No more responses.
The first to react were the churches everywhere, wanting to conceal this matter, but it was obvious that after each church passed through the initial stage of primitive accumulation, they began to communicate with the ruler of this continent, that one After the nobles began to intertwine and merge with each other, it became difficult to hide the news.
The nobles learned of the dimness of the idol.
It's just that the commotion didn't break out immediately. Even if the statues were dim, the priests' magic could still be released.
Nobles also need to wait and see.
On the other side, the rat people also focused their curious eyes on the sky that had no trace of light.
Darkness has an impact on the rat people, but the impact is not that great.
The rat people do have the ability to see at night, but that is more like low-light vision than night vision.
The faint light of the stars and moon is also what the rat people need.
In the absolute darkness, even the Rat Man could not see clearly what was in front of him.
But the impact of this incident on the rat people is indeed not that big. Most of the rat people are entrenched in underground cities, and there is no light in the intricate underground tunnels.
The Rat Man's solution is simple, light a lamp.
Dim oil lamps would have been placed in the underground tunnels, and the faint light was enough for the rat people to carry out normal activities.
As for the Ratmen on the ground, this problem is better solved.
Lighting flames and tying torches, this craft can be easily used even if no rat people have studied it.
Darkness brings more fear. In the darkness without a trace of light in the human empire, riots broke out in every city more or less.
The rat people were indifferent to this.
Without the stars, moon and sun, the world has no light, but the hot furnace will still illuminate all directions.
The transparent bell will also ring on time.
Then the endless whipping by the big-clawed priest.
The darkness without a trace of light lasted for seven days.
Both humans and ratmen are gradually getting used to it.
In the past seven days, the rat people have rarely stopped.
Until a turbid stream of light streaked across the sky.
After these seven days of lightlessness, another ray of light illuminated this small world.
But this light does not come from the sun, moon, or stars, and it is not something that ratmen and humans are accustomed to.
But a murky river.
Yes, a river cuts across the sky, a long turbid river with colorful colors.
This is an unimaginable sight that impacts the worldview that many people have built since they can remember.
A greater commotion broke out in the human empire.
The rat people were still so calm.
Curious eyes were cast to the sky again. Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is really not a big deal. Is the statue of the great god dim? It seems that the rat people have never built a real statue of the god.
Is that because the magic of the rat priests has failed and the gods have left? No, that means the blood mushrooms are no longer popping up. No, there's nothing to panic about.
It's just dark when I open my eyes. Even if it stays dark for a few more days, it's not a big deal.
Such is the case for the Skaven Priests and those in power within the Skaven Empire.
As for those slave rats, even if it is not dark, they will probably close their eyes anytime and anywhere, and they have no energy to look up at the sky. For them, the day is just a brighter night.
The turbid river across the sky brought light to the world again. Although the light seemed particularly dim, it seemed to be an urging.
The world has ushered in huge changes, and both humans and rat people need to face such changes.
The knights and troops carefully left the city and began to explore the world after welcoming the darkness, and also began to clean up the monsters and monsters that emerged in the darkness.
The Rat People abandoned their torches, and the mighty team was still sending towards the New World in a steady stream.
After seven days of quiet entrenchment, Shu Zhan looked at the muddy river in the sky with a bit of confusion, and no attack fell on him.
He gradually became bolder. This guy has always been very determined when he should follow his heart.
He began to prepare his troops and prepare to set off another rat tide. Just when he was about to raise the flag, he still looked at the muddy river in the sky, a little vigilant.
In the end, the black dragon flag was not raised by him. Shu Zhan has always been very determined in some aspects.
However, he did not do nothing during this period.
He built a camp, and the reinforcements from the rear began to gather in this camp. The ratmen who arrived at the main continent no longer fell all over this area like water.
Instead, they had a clear destination. Soon, a ratman city should rise from the ground on the basis of this camp, as an outpost for the ratmen to invade this continent.
Just when Shu Zhan chose to follow his heart, violent turmoil was about to occur in that huge city.
The Stargazing Church, which defeated all other churches in this province during its expansion and was about to become the real decision-maker behind this province, and the group of priests who believed in the Stargazing God, had completely lost contact with the gods.
In the inexplicable sadness and emptiness, they could no longer use divine arts.
The Stargazing Church was almost dead in name only. If it weren't for the first batch of Vatican knights who had initially possessed combat power and maintained the dignity of the Stargazing Church, its destruction would have happened in an instant.
This caused an uproar.
After the leader of one side fell into chaos, the leader of the other side of this land suddenly suffered such a blow.
This area was about to enter real chaos and turmoil.
On the vast sea.
When the turbid river crossed the sky and the world regained light again, the sea was also illuminated again.
A strange fleet finally found its direction again.
A rat man who was so thin that he was almost skinny climbed up with difficulty. The world regained light again, and he saw the continent in the distance.
At this moment, the irrepressible ecstasy surged into my heart, shouting loudly, shouting wildly, dancing wildly.
"Land! Land! Land!"
Believe me, you definitely don't want to spend seven days in absolute darkness on a boat that automatically rotates from time to time, floating in fear on the black, waiting for the judgment that may come at the moment of fate, and damn it, damn it, seasick!
At this moment, Sheng Qi, who was already thin and almost dying, burst into tears. At this moment, his spirit was a little unstable. Just standing on the boat would make his whole body tremble unconsciously.
Shouting loudly.
"Land! Land! Land!"
