only god

196 The time has come

On the ground, outside the city of Aga.

"Tyrant" Claudius brought the war to Aga.

The three-eyed apes stood at the top of the city, looking at the orc army approaching from afar with fear.

The orcs in the front row were holding long wooden poles, and they looked normal, but the tips of those wooden poles were filled with human heads one after another.

Those are the heads of three-eyed ape-man.

A few days ago, a battle broke out between the army of the three-eyed apes and the army of the "tyrant" Claudius in the wild.

The soldiers under Claudiu were far more bloodthirsty and ruthless than Aga's soldiers. Their flexible and unscrupulous tactics tore the three-eyed ape-man's line to pieces time and time again.

And Aga's heroes couldn't compete with the "tyrant" Claudiu.

In that battle, Baird and other heroes fought against Claudiu alone. The power of the latter made every hero feel fear, and the soaring figure fell in the hearts of the heroes. Great shadow.

Even Baird, the hero among heroes, could barely contend with it, and was almost severely injured by him on the battlefield.

Outside Aga's city, when the "tyrant"'s brass chariot appeared on the battlefield, the soldiers at the top of the city gasped, panic brewing in their hearts, and the people lowered their swords in fear.

I saw that Claudius was holding a long wooden pole, and the head on the wooden pole was Tus, the hero of Aga.

The latter's eyes were wide open, and he could not rest in peace, as if he was in a great trembling, and his head was taken off by Claudiu.

Even heroes will die at the hands of that tyrant.

The haze shrouded the city, and Aga's soldiers trembled.

Claudiu's brutality stunned everyone present.

Baird, who was wearing a dragon skin, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and his eyes were fixed on the tyrant on the chariot.

"It's not a battle of heroes anymore."

Baird gripped the bronze sword tightly and murmured.

This will be a war against the tyrant's conquest of the city of Aga.

Once the royal city falls, the entire kingdom will cease to exist. This kingdom, which has a history of 3000 years since King Ram, will be completely destroyed, and the heads of those three-eyed ape-men will be piled up on the ground like mountains.

"Fire arrows!"

With that order, accompanied by the blaring of the horn, the soldiers put away their fear for a while, and the archers put their hands on the bowstring. In just a blink of an eye, thousands of arrows flew into the sky. Shooting arrows with a bow, like a torrential rain, when the arrows rose to the highest point, they fell down, so dense that they almost covered the sky.

The arrow fell, and the leader of the orcs did not retreat. They raised the shields in their hands to block the flying arrows. From time to time, some people were hit by the arrow and fell down. Those who were not dead just stood up with the pain, compared to the flying arrow, They are more afraid of the tyrant in the chariot.

The orcs gradually advanced under the city wall. It was afternoon, and a big fire ignited in the moat outside the city wall covered with oil.

The tyrant on the chariot faced such a scene, instead of panicking, he laughed wildly in excitement.

The orcs marched, they put up their big shields, braved piles of flying arrows, and threw the excavated sand into the burning trench.

The sharp arrows and throwing stones dealt a considerable blow to the orcs below the city, leaving charred or arrow-shot corpses on the trenches, but in the end, the fire on the stone bridge was extinguished.

The orc warriors pushed the climbing ladders over one by one. The heroes immediately organized their soldiers and prepared for a bloody battle at the top of the city without bothering to sigh.

The defense of the city is only divided into two stages: city wall defense and street fighting, and the most important thing is the former, because once the city wall is lost, the fate of the city is almost doomed.

The orcs gradually approached on the ladder, and the defenders, led by the general, threw torches. The burning orcs could be seen everywhere after howling and fell to the ground. However, the enemy still swarmed up to the top of the city like ants.

In the sky full of smoke and dust, the defenders raised their longbows and threw stones to organize two or three rounds of volleys, but even if they caused effective damage, they could not stop the orcs' footsteps.

The three-eyed apes held up their shields in front of them, and piles of orcs hugged giant logs, hitting the city gate purely with strength. The experienced orcs raised their shields and charged ahead, buying time for the soldiers behind them to ascend the city.

Those orcs who climbed the city wall met the defenders who had been waiting for a long time. The heroes shouted "For Aga!" or "For Cargaus!" Fighting with the orcs, blood and swords are everywhere.

The heroes march forward with swords and axes drawn, they leap past other defenders, drawing strength from the roar of others.

With his superb archery skills, Modes accurately hit the orcs one after another even on the city wall full of people.

He opened countless bows, gritted his teeth, shuttled among the soldiers on both sides, sometimes sealed his throat with a dagger, and sometimes pierced their heads with flying arrows. It didn't take long for him to kill more than 30 orcs. , Let him draw the bow over and over again, half of his body is covered with blood.

Even with keen eyes, Modes didn't notice that the brass chariot in the distance was empty.

A wide shadow was cast in the sky, Modes turned his head suddenly, and his pupils shrank sharply.

The strong arm strength that had pulled the bowstring countless times suddenly weakened at this moment, and he froze in place, motionless.

I saw the huge wings flapping in the air, and Claudio stared at this hero with superb archery skills, like staring at a lion at a lamb with no strength to restrain a chicken.

"tyrant…"

Modes trembled.

As soon as the voice fell, Claudio had already rushed to Modes, and the hands with dragon claws were about to tear the hero in front of him.

"Claudius!"

A terrifying roar erupted on the battlefield, and a javelin was aimed at Claudiu, coming from a distance with unstoppable power, and everywhere it went was the sound of violent roars in the air.

Claudio raised his hand abruptly, blocking the flying javelin with his sharp dragon claws, and there was a hint of excitement in his violent eyes.

In front of him is Baird, who is known as the hero among heroes.

The latter also enjoys the grace of the dragon god Ndora. Baird raised his dragon scales violently, and the huge dragon wings fanned the gale, and rushed in front of Claudiu in an instant.

On the city wall, the mutilated corpses of the orcs and defenders fell on the ground one by one, overlapping each other, making it impossible to tell you and me. The blood soaked the city wall. This tragic war is a war of mutual destruction, or Aga will perish , or the tyrant dies.

The orcs kept hitting the city gate with huge logs, and the latter shook,
The orcs who climbed the city wall fell to the ground with their spear points along with their heads and intestines, but the morale of the orcs did not suffer too much. Facing the shaking city gate, the orcs saw that hope was ahead, and played a long way. Bravery before victory.

As the number of enemies gradually increased, the soldiers stationed on the city wall fell into a panic, and they fought desperately with each other.

The defenders stabbed forward with their spears one after another, pulled them hard, and stabbed them fiercely. They used their spears, swords and shields to resist the enemy's repeated collisions. Both sides were strangled pieces of meat on the battlefield.

Facing the orcs who were far more numerous than themselves, the faces of the three-eyed apes showed fatigue and fear. Coupled with the appearance of the tyrant, their morale was greatly hit.

Claudio and Baird fought at the top of the city, the dragon claws tore each other's dragon scales, and the blood on both sides was overflowing.

Baird held a spear in one hand and a bronze sword in the other, parrying the mighty dragon's claws. Claudiu was like a wild beast, forcing Aga's hero back step by step while laughing wildly.

With a bow and arrow in his hand, Modes kept pulling the string and shooting arrows, harassing the unmatched Claudiu.

And Ramon held up the big shield like a giant on the battlefield. He saw Baird fall into a disadvantage, and shouted loudly in his mouth, so that the city wall was filled with smoke and dust, and he rushed towards Claudio.

Only by working together, the heroes of Aga can barely contend against the tyrant Claudius.

This siege battle lasted for a full morning, until the orcs began to flee, leaving countless corpses on the battlefield, and then receded like a tide.

The heroes were covered in bruises, and the horror of Claudius still lingered in their hearts for a long time, while the defenders experienced a tragic battle, and their legs trembled belatedly.

The orcs retreated temporarily today, when will they come flooding in again?
No one knows, and no one wants to know.

Fear permeated the three-eyed ape-man, as if the next attack, the city wall that Aga was proud of would fall into the hands of the enemy, and the whole kingdom would fall into bloody looting and war.

It all seemed like the end of the world.

And people's own abilities are far from being able to save themselves from the doomsday.

.......................................

In the face of irreparable destruction, what can people do?
When people are helpless, they can only beg for faith and gods.

outside the Great Temple,

Queen Isis led the nobles to offer sacrifices, and they knelt for a long time in front of the statue of Cargaus, begging the creator of the three-eyed ape-man to show his mighty power.

For this reason, under the leadership of the priest, the nobles offered far more precious sacrifices than before, and an unknown number of people shed tears, just for the hope of a safe arrival.

And in the new law garden.

The surrounding streets and alleys were crowded with believers kneeling and praying. They leaned together, and the shaking of the city wall seemed to be still echoing in their ears. Everyone's movements were trembling, and their faces were miserable and panicked.

"Oh God,
can i hold your hand

lead us into the miracle of life,
Allow us to hear the divine voice..."

The voices of the prayers were louder or softer, and people clasped their hands together and recited the scriptures in a low voice, with tears drying on their faces.

Aga is about to fall, and they don't know how long they can hold on.

People prayed in mourning, hoping that the mighty power of the Lord would descend in an instant and reverse everything in front of them in an instant.

Norn stood in front of the stone tablet, holding the priest's staff in one hand, and stroking the two stone tablets in front of him with the other hand.

He didn't pray.

In the new law garden right now, there are tens of thousands of people in panic, and the weeping of believers surrounds every corner, but Norn looks as usual, just waiting quietly.

because he knows...

Time is coming.

The day God said is fulfilled and is coming.

At this moment, Norn was paying attention to every word and every sentence on the two stone tablets. He didn't dare to blink, reading every story he knew by heart.

Maybe... I won't have the chance to see these two steles again in the future.

Norn thought so, and he cherished the time now even more.

At this time, a believer came up and asked in a trembling voice:
"O prophet...

Can we... really be saved? "

The believer was old, his face was full of wrinkles, and his clasped hands were trembling, and he never dared to let go.

Norn looked directly into the believer's eyes and said softly:

"do not be afraid,
When the end comes, God will save us. "

Norn tried his best to appease the old man in front of him, then pointed to the stone tablet, recited scriptures for him, and told him about God's salvation. At that time, no one was lost.

The old man's mood was not calm, but trembling more and more.

In this new law garden, there are prayers of fear in all directions. No matter how optimistic a person is, he will doubt himself and even despair himself.

"Prophet, aren't those forty solar eclipses really God's punishment?"

the old man asked again.

Nuoen heard it in his ears. Countless believers had asked him this question.

Believers could not understand why the sky, which was originally bright during the day, was shrouded in darkness.

"No, that's not God's punishment."

Norn said softly.

Hearing this answer, the old man did not calm down, but trembled even more.

The old man grabbed the prophet's hand and said excitedly:

"But, but...

God has done so much for us, what have we done in return for Him? !

This must be God's punishment! "

The trembling voice fell off the ear, and Norn froze for a moment.

Just listening to the trembling old man, he continued:
"God is punishing us!
Because God has so much grace to us, but we don't know how to repay it! !

The altar that should have been sacrificed every day, offering precious tributes, and even our lives, has been empty for a long time...

It is God who is punishing us!

Because we have given Him nothing in return!Our end is coming! "

In the New Law Garden, countless believers were startled by the old man's voice. They all showed fear, and endless remorse swept through the depths of everyone's soul in an instant.

With mournful faces, bewildered eyes, and trembling hands, countless eyes fell on Norn, eager to beg for an answer.

God... is really punishing us?
Because we have nothing in return, because we have lost meaning to Him...

Norn clenched the priest's staff in his hand, and he couldn't help shaking.

He wanted to tell these fearful and confused people:
No, that's not it...God didn't punish us...

But the Prophet also realized,

To the infinite grace of God,
What can a person do in return?

Since there is no way to repay, what is the meaning of man compared to the supreme god?

Norn was silent, the priest's staff trembling slightly in his hand.

I never thought about this question, and I never knew the answer.

"Norn, my boy."

When you are about to sink into the swamp of confusion.

A sacred and ethereal voice echoed in Norn's mind.

Norn raised his face, and after a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, he quickly recovered his original determination.

behind him,

There is light shining.

That divine radiance is leading the second prophet in this world to the vast universe.

Yes,

The days are about to fill, the time is coming.
