The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 474: Seal Lifted, Mass Sacrifice

The battle line between the Horned Man and the Black Knight was covered in blood.

Both sides seemed willing to fight, shed blood, and leave corpses on the battlefield.

In just one night, both sides had suffered countless casualties. The banquet originally held in the hall of Shadow City had been replaced by the wounded, and the dead and wounded black knights were delivered faster and more frequently than the dishes at the banquet.

After the hall is healed by the priest, he will return to the battlefield and continue fighting.

Ge Fulei was itching to do it, but was suppressed by Wuming Mengget.

Now is not the time for him to appear.

After the huge elevator outside the hall pulled a group of wounded soldiers back to the battlefield, it was halfway down when it saw a giant flying down from above.

Latan controlled gravity and, with the pony under him, bypassed the elevator, crossed the city wall, and directly arrived at the battlefield, diving at a low altitude towards the middle of the battle lines of the two warring parties.

A huge shadow swept across the warriors along the way, pressing towards the Horned Man like a landslide.

Latan did not fall to the ground. He drew out his two swords and the hurricane blew both sides so hard that they could not open their eyes.

With a long howl, Latan's gravity magic, which was more powerful than Gaius's, blasted out.

With Latan as the center, both the Black Knight and the Horned Man were bounced back on the spot.

After creating an open space, Latan fell to the ground and smashed, and the earth was like a huge rock falling from the water, raising waves of earth. It was as if the earth's spine was broken, and endless rocks rose from the ground in rows, turning the plain outside Shadow City into a rugged mountain road.

Latan followed Gaius's path, trying to repel the enemy rather than kill them. However, his power and range were more powerful and he stopped the entire frontal army of Horned People by standing still.

There were also horn men attacking from the other two directions, and Gaius, Lance Shanks and others took action to repel the horn men.

But unlike last time, the Horned Man's attack did not stop this time. After being repelled, he charged again. The gravity magic attack continued, and the Horned Man's charge also repeated.

Some bird warriors also tried to break through from the sky and engage in close combat with Latan and his men. However, facing Latan's gravity magic, the bird warriors in the sky fell one after another, and could only charge forward in vain with the warriors on the ground.

In order to deal with Latan's gravity magic, the Horned People stretched out the battle line, allowing Latan's gravity magic to capture fewer people, thereby consuming his magic power.

Even a strong man like Latan gradually became tired under the Horned Man's desperate fighting tactics. The intervals between his release of gravity magic became longer and longer, and the Horned Man got closer and closer.

Until the divine beast warriors and horned warriors finally rushed to Latan despite the gravity magic and fought with him, the horned warriors finally broke through the gravity magic and fought with the black knight again.

Wuming stood invisible on the wall, frowning as he watched the frenzied fighting on the battlefield.

He removed his invisibility, and immediately several spirals appeared under his feet. It was not until he jumped off the wall that the spiral light beams that were chasing him dissipated unwillingly.

With the help of the priest's magical magic, the Horned Man reduced the number of scouts in Shadow City by 70%. Fortunately, there were many people who could fly, and Lance Shanks was there, so he could still observe.

"The fighting was too crazy." Wuming went back and told what he had seen, shaking his head, "If the fighting continues like this, they will be wiped out in a few days."

"The Horned People were clearly engaging in guerrilla warfare before, so why did they suddenly launch a general attack?" Wuming wondered, "Just because they have the Blood Dynasty, do you think you can do it?"

Messermo's lips were a little pale:
"The hatred of the Horned People is so deep..."

Wuming was also a little depressed. Now that the fighting had gotten to this point, it would be much more difficult to get both sides to calm down and negotiate.

Messermo's eyes gradually became firm:

"We need to use a method that can really make the final decision and let the people know our sincerity."

Hearing what Messermo said, Wuming said:

"Have you decided?"

The flame in Messermo's hand ignited:

"I'll go and unlock the seal."

Xiu, the former deputy leader of the Black Knights, was injured and returned to the city to rest. After hearing what Messemo said, he stopped in front of Messemo.

"At this point, are you still going to stop me?" Messemo looked at his past comrades.

"The warriors are fighting," Xiu said, "If you go and break the seal now, everyone will think that the snake has betrayed you."

"It doesn't matter," said Messermo. "If it is my destiny that the snake betrays the golden tree, then I will take this betrayal into my own hands."

Messermo walked past Xiu and said:
"Besides, there is a group of people who believe in me now."

Wuming came to Ashimi and said, "You go and do the publicity work." Then he followed Messermo.

Ashmi nodded, took a huge pyroxene water mirror from the caravan, and ran to the city wall to deploy it.

All that was needed to unlock the seal was fire, and Messermo didn't let anyone else follow him except Wuming.

"Are you sure you've made up your mind?" Wuming walked side by side with him to the bottom floor of the vault.

Messermo did not respond, but walked on firmly. Passing by the witch's treatment center, Messermo stopped, prayed for the witch again, chatted with Xiaohu and the witches, and encouraged them to be patient in treatment.

After doing all this, Messermo walked towards the ancient ruins.

The ancient ruins of Laufer, ancient ruins sealed by Shadow City and Flame Knight. The ruins here are older than the civilization of the Horned People. No one knows why they declined. Only the towering tower buildings that can be seen everywhere in the border area and some fragments of elven technology are left.

The sealed tree of the Tower of God is hidden deep in the ancient ruins.

The ancient ruins are seldom visited by humans, covered with green grass and leaves, with wild beasts walking in the bushes. If it weren't for the furnace golem guarding the gate, it would seem as if this place had never been invaded.

"I heard from the Fire Knight that you didn't burn this place." Wuming said.

"Some of it was burned," Messermo said. "There are people who have been burned here, but for some reason, it's recovering faster than other places."

Wuming saw a huge spider scorpion along the way and was a little surprised: "There are such good things in this place. If I had known, I would not have gone to Barrett to look for scorpions."

"If you don't run away from Barrett, you won't be able to save Lailana." said Messermo.

"How are you and Laelana?" Wuming asked.

"I can't promise her anything," Messermo said. "Let's wait until this is over. When the dust settles, if we are all still alive, we will be free."

Following Messermo, Wuming approached the Sealed Tree. Only then did Wuming understand why this place was more lush and why the recovery was faster.

Wuming discovered that there were actually corrupt followers walking here, and those familiar mushrooms with brutal vitality were crawling all over the road.

The corrupt family members also saw them and became very alert.

Messermo subconsciously raised his spear, wanting to kill these filth. He had been doing this for a long time.

But thinking about what he was going to do next, his hand paused, and then slowly put it down.

The corrupt followers became even more panicked, and insect silk shot out from behind to attack Messermo.

Wuming and Messermo lit a fire and burned the insect silk without fighting back.

The insects hesitated when they saw that the two did not fight back. But when they saw that Messermo and Wuming were walking towards a passage, they attacked again. The insect silk was endless, like a drill bit, attacking from all directions.

"It's too much." Wuming took out a protective shield, put it on himself and Messermo, and walked up a staircase against the insect silk, and came to a church.

"After the church is the Sealed Tree." Messermo said to Wuming and walked into the church.

The two stopped walking. There was already someone in the church.

The upper body of a girl is deformed from the waist up, turning into hideous spiral keratin, which then differentiates into thick scorpion tails and centipedes at the legs.

The girl's hair turned into flower petals, and she held a spear in her hand that was also shaped like flower petals. She had butterfly wings on her back, and her thin clothes had turned scarlet.

The ferocious scorpion-tailed centipede merged into one with the slender girl, who was holding up her fingers and playing with the scarlet butterfly on her fingertips.

Noticing someone walking into the church, the girl looked towards Wuming. When she saw Wuming, her eyes were filled with confusion.

But when she saw Messermo, the confusion in the girl's eyes became complicated.

Fear, sadness, and then becoming hideous and terrifying.

The scarlet plants in the church were all swaying and noisy, and the red waves of grass seemed to wail to Messermo.

The girl let out a roar, and the centipede under her twisted and rushed towards Messermo.

"What's going on?" Wuming said, "Your ex-girlfriend? Did you let her down?"

Messermo shook his head, raised his spear, and prepared to meet the enemy.

Holy light rose from behind the two of them, overwhelming the scarlet flowers that were roaring at them, and also forcing back the monster girl that was charging at them.

Michaela came up from behind the two of them:
"Her name is Romina, and she used to be a saint in the church."

"Is this a corrupt church?" Wuming asked.

Mikaela shook her head. "It's the church of the Horned People. After the fire, she asked for help from the Corruption and turned into a flower bud, restoring life to this place. Romina is a citizen of the Tower."

Wuming suddenly realized: "No wonder he hates Messermo so much."

When Messermo heard the girl's origin, he lowered his head.

Michaela pats Messermo's butt:

"You guys go light the Sealed Tree, and leave this to my sister."

Behind Michaela, Malenia also lowered her head, not really wanting to face the current situation.

The deformed girl in front of her was not strong, and if she was handed over to Marlennia, it would definitely not be handed over at the level of force. Michaela hoped to let her show her corrupt power and resolve the issue peacefully with Romina.

Michaela clapped her hands: "She loves flowers, Marenia, bloom soon."

Marenya had a bitter face and tears welled up in her eyes.

But it was difficult to refuse, as Michaela had already cut her wrists, and the divine blood was flowing out and splashing all around, growing all kinds of strange flowers.

How the divine twins would deal with Romina was their concern. Messermo and Wuming walked through the church and saw the sealed tree.

The Sealed Tree was inconspicuous, just a small tree. It did not have the brilliance of a golden tree, nor the distortion of a shadow tree. At first glance, it looked very ordinary.

Looking forward from the small tree, huge thorns surrounded the tall tower, and the tower was covered in shadow, as if there was some light source coming from the small tree, casting a huge shadow on the tower.

Messermo and Wuming looked at each other and nodded.

Wuming took out a crystal and pointed it at Messermo.

On top of the wall of Shadow City, Ashmi's magic circle has been deployed. Kalia's projection technology sends the huge image of Messermo into the air, and his lifelike phantom can be seen throughout the battlefield.

"Horned people," Messermo began, stumbling a little. "We have been fighting for a thousand years. I know I have caused you immeasurable harm, which is hard to forgive. But I do hope to end the holy war and return this land to you. To this end, I will remove the seal and return the Horned People's Tower of God to you."

Flames ignited in Messemo's hands, and the camera moved from his body to the sealed tree and the tall tower shrouded in shadows behind it.

"Please regard this as my sincerity." Messermo shouted loudly and threw the flame in his hand towards the sealed tree.

The flames were like snakes, clinging to the small trees.

The thorns surrounding the giant tower seemed to be a mirror image of the small tree, also covered with snake-like flames.

As the fire snakes entangled them, the thorns on the trees gradually fell off, and the shadow covering the tower also dissipated inch by inch.

A majestic and tall white spiral tower, which seemed to be shrouded in golden holy light, appeared in the eyes of all the shadows.

The white tower was no less majestic than the golden tree. Even as an invader, he couldn't help but feel faith in the tower when he saw the huge tower.

Looking at this magnificent structure, one can understand that the people of the tower were once an ancient civilization that was no less ancient than that of the Golden Tree.

Wuming admired the towering white tower:

"This time, the Horned Man should believe that we are sincere in the negotiations."

Messermo also looked at the white tower and felt relieved. He felt relieved for the peaceful future, for the result of his many days of tangle, and for the fact that this burden was finally lifted.

He watched the shadow move away from the tower inch by inch, revealing the holy white walls of the tower and the blood-red sky above the tower that he had not seen for a long time.

"Wait, what is that?" Messermo was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Wuming asked.

Messermo pointed to a streak of red above the tower:
"What's that red?"

"You're asking me?" Wuming said, "Wasn't it like this before? I haven't seen what it was like before it was sealed."

"I've seen it." Messemo stared at the red cloud, "There's nothing like this above the Tower of God."

Wuming looked back and found that the huge projection of Messermo had disappeared, and instead, the real situation on the battlefield appeared.

That was the employee showing him, letting him see for himself what was happening.

On the battlefield, the Horned People's offensive became stagnant because of the burning trees. Many people actually stopped and stared at the White Tower. Many others knelt down and began to pray.

But not all the Horn people gave up the fight, some of them became even crazier and attacked the Black Knight desperately. These people were basically the strong and high-ranking ones among the Horn people.

Blood was everywhere on the battlefield.

Afterwards, the corpses on the battlefield, those of the Horned Men and the Black Knights, their body parts, flesh and blood, slowly sank into the blood, as if there was a funnel underneath the blood, swallowing up all the flesh and blood.

Wuming looked at the projection, then turned back to look at the sky above the tower.

"No wonder, no wonder the Horned People no longer fight guerrilla warfare." Wuming said, "They are preparing... for a collective sacrifice."
