Chapter 1265: Eve of the beast
Lavinia? Juniper Kant, Hao Ren is now no stranger to this name, it is the sister of Earl of Willy, in the wilderness of the journey, the freckled female horsewoman took the initiative to contact him. The ancient guardian", the enthusiasm she showed at that time was like an admirer who had great admiration for the Sanctuary. Her performance was so special, and she left a deep impression on Hao Ren.
The Earl of Willy has been proved to be an annihilation believer lurking in the order of the kingdom. The Kant family behind him is afraid that it is difficult to get rid of the crime from top to bottom. As his sister, Lavinia naturally cannot escape the suspect.
So after the incident at Kant Manor, the "guardian knight" was controlled by Rudolf III's inner court knight for the first time, but His Majesty clearly underestimated the scale of the action of the annihilation believer and underestimated the Lavigne. The position of Asia in the entire secret group, the latter was rescued by a large number of cultists on the way to a secret prison outside the city. Not only that, but she also attacked herself when the Knights of the Kingdom did not respond. The flag-bearing soldiers who have guarded for many years have taken away the "ancient holy device" from the other side.
Hao Ren didn't have much trouble when he heard the news. He even said that part of it was in his plan. After knowing the identity of Earl of Willy, he first suspected the Lavinia who had taken the initiative to set himself up, and after the escape of Count Willy, he predicted the escape of Lavinia. When Rudolf III finished speaking, he just nodded. "I wanted to ask before. It seems that you have long known that Earl of Willy and his Kant family are members of the Apostolic Order?"
“The annihilationists infiltrated the kingdoms of various orders, but we are not without them,” Rudolf III said faintly. “We can grasp some clues of cultists hidden inside the kingdom, but some of them are drilling. It’s too deep, and even has been drilled into the roots of the kingdom. To clear these people requires long-term preparation and the right time, and more importantly, they must not be noticed before they start, otherwise they will all fall short. I locked in the Kant family a few years ago, but I have only completed all the preparations until today. I have to play with them all. I have not expected the situation of Chaos in the end, nor did I expect the subversion of the annihilation of the Order. It’s a lot of regrets."
Ania looked at Hao Ren's reaction curiously: "The guardian is an adult, looks like you don't care about the ancient sacred robbed?"
"It's better to say that they took the thing away and just followed my heart. This proves that I have something wrong with it," Hao Renxiao said. "At the time they flicked me, except for the editorial. I inquired about the two artifacts of the Kasuan Temple. I knew that these two artifacts were definitely significant to them. I didn't know that they were cultists at the time, but most of their motives for finding artifacts could still be guessed. ”
The old bachelor Alfred had an interest after hearing this: "Two artifacts of the Kasuan Temple? What is it?"
"One is called 'Glory Disc" and one is called 'Heart of the Sky'," Hao Ren described the situation at the time. "... That's it. They seem to value these two things, even I took the initiative to raise the matter at the risk of being identified in advance."
Veronica seems to have finally reacted: "That Lavinia snatched away..."
Hao Renyi shrugged: "Oh, if they are going to hold a ceremony with the ‘lighting disc,’ they will be happy.”
The atmosphere in the room was different, and several people looked at each other. The expression on everyone's face was extraordinarily subtle. The dipping at the moment seemed to remain in the hearts of everyone, but now they can't help but feel a little ridiculous.
Aniya looked at Hao Ren, who was looking at the unscrupulous expression with a smile: "The guardian, you...this really doesn't match your identity."
Hao Renyi said: "This is wisdom!"
When the atmosphere in the White City was tense because of the cultist incident, when Rudolf III’s secret room discussed the topic of the destiny of the world (at least most of the topics were like this), in the southern part of the kingdom, a huge army had gradually arrived. The border of civilization.
Along with a burst of "flap", a group of twilight night birds were disturbed from the twisted canopy of the Black Forest. After shaking off large feathers and leaves in the air, they quickly flew to the overcast sky, under the canopy. Between those thick bushes, a pair of small round eyes with orange glimmers twitched twice. The owners of these eyes watched the movement outside the forest with vigilance. After confirming that there was no danger, one was slim and full body. The scale-covered, erect lizard-like creatures are drilled from behind the bushes. The lizard was covered with a simple armor made of animal skin and some kind of carapace. He held a sharp obsidian spear in his hand. The dark red pattern on his forehead showed that it was from the depths of the southern forest. The lizard tribal warrior, and the obsidian spear in its hand, shows that the lizard warrior is a warrior among the tribes.
With the slightest sound of the sorrow, the bushes next to it shook, and then more lizards were drilled out from behind the bushes, eventually reaching ten.
This is a scouting force, but if an experienced human commander sees this scene, most of them will not believe that the lizard in the Black Forest is just a disciplined inferior creature in the eyes of human beings, inferior intelligence and civilization. Grades are their biggest label. These lizards and tribes hide in the depths of the forest. Don't say it to detect the borders of human kingdoms. Usually, even the cavalry who are close to humans patrolling the forest are afraid.
But now there are ten lizards appearing on the border of the kingdom, and at first glance it is a scout to find out the situation, which is really ridiculous.
"Human...the city...the smell of smoke."
The first lizard who stood up whispered, his voice with a sigh of breath, its nostrils opening and closing in the air, carefully sensing the smell and temperature changes from afar.
The second lizard who stood up stretched his neck, and the dark blue folds under his neck were filled with magical light, and the weapon in his hand was not an obsidian spear, but a stick made of animal bones. This is a lizard man shaman. Its superficial and almost instinctual magical skills are childish and ridiculous in the eyes of the human wizard, but it is rare in the lizards.
The lizard shaman concentrated his energy and released an eagle-eye spell for himself. It carefully observed the human territory across the forest, and the squeaking voice in the throat: "There is a pillar of smoke, rising from the back of the wall, the wall... Falling down, the human city was broken."
Other lizard soldiers have discussed it:
"Probably it was a lot of days ago."
"The plume is still taking it, it should not be too long, about two or three days ago."
"Humans have probably run out and ran to the city north of them."
"But maybe there are humans who are riding horses. Those humans are very violent and not afraid of monsters."
"Those humans also ran, they need to be active near the city, but now their city is gone."
"Do we want to go further and explore the road?"
"No, the wolf only lets us investigate at the edge of the forest," the lizard shaman interrupted the soldiers' conversation. "And the new leader said that the amulet may be ineffective if it is too far away."
Other lizards immediately quieted down when they heard the shaman, and looked at the talisman hanging under the shaman's neck in awe.
It was a rough handicraft consisting of a strong leather rope, two colored stone beads, a feather and a small coat of wolf hair, but the only thing that really worked was the white wolf hair, which came from The fluff on the tail of the wolf.
The wolf hair shines slightly in the darkness, and the light is soft, but it is enough to drive away the chaotic forces around. The lizard soldiers can only be chased by the chaos under the protection of this powerful "magic item". The heavily distorted Black Forest is free to move.
The magic knowledge of the lizard people is quite shallow. In their eyes, the talisman worn by the shaman is already a very powerful magic item. If their civilization level is higher, they might use this talisman as an artifact, and Write into your own myths and legends.
The chaotic storm that landed in the southern part of the Ansu continent has crossed the migratory army led by the wolf, transforming the entire southern forest into a black forest that is distorted and corrupted. Sixty percent of the forest's creatures have died or turned into chaotic minions, leaving Most of them buried themselves underground, waiting for the end of the tide of chaos, and more than 70% of these deep-buried asylum seekers will die soon. The lucky ones who can survive the chaotic tide are few. less.
In the front of the chaotic storm, the human city touched its baptism a few days ago, and it seems that the solid human city plug did not persist for too long.
Seeing this scene, the lizard shaman is more than a deep fear, but also feels a heartfelt gratitude.
Faced with the pressure of the head wolf, the lizard tribe chose to make a decisive surrender and became a member of the huge Warcraft Legion, which proved to be absolutely wise: they have lived to this day.
"Go back, report the head wolf," the lizard man turned his yellow eyes and turned and walked toward the forest. "The human city is gone."
