Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 131 Appease
A sharp hiss sounded in Jiatu's ears.

He subconsciously covered his ears and looked back.

But only saw the mountains and the dark sky.

"what happened?"

Wu Ning turned his head to look at him, but Jiatu shook his head:
"Nothing, let's go."

Back at the cave camp where he had not returned for a long time, Jiatu told Sun Simiao what he had seen and heard in the imperial army.

And the young man with the hedgehog head nodded slightly:
"It seems that we have reached the final stage..."

On the surveillance screen in front of him, the wolf pack of the tree wolf clan was approaching the direction of Razor Town.

Jiatu even saw Leng Mou and Leng Dao on the monitoring screen——

"So, is this the role of "Seed of Desire"? A desperate fight at a moment when the race is in crisis?"

Jiatu looked at Sun Simiao in silence.

Sun Simiao knew what he wanted to ask, and turned to Jiatu:

"I know what you want to say. The characteristics of "Seed of Desire" determine that it is difficult for tree wolf people other than explorers to use it. In fact, this is not the first war between tree wolf people and the empire."

"Isn't this the first war...?"

Jiatu murmured again.

"Correct."

Sun Simiao nodded: "About 60 years ago, when the lord of Razor Town was the last Baron of Nordwar, the five clans of the Timberwolves had a confrontation with the previous imperial army."

"That time also ended in the disastrous defeat of the empire. Until all the tree wolf warriors who took the "Seed of Desire" died, the empire never expanded the border of Razor Town—"

"In fact, the reason why the former Razor Town survived is simply because it happened to be on the border between the White Wolf Clan and the Black Wolf Clan."

"The internal conflicts of the Timberwolves were greater than the external conflicts, that's why the empire was allowed to guard this land."

Sun Simiao pointed to the giant wolf on the screen and said slowly:

"Unlike us, after taking "The Seed of Desire", Leng Mou and the others will no longer be able to transform from wolf form to human form, and their lifespan will also be drastically reduced from the previous six to seventy years to about 70 years."

"So unless it is absolutely necessary, there won't be so many warriors of the tree wolf tribe who choose to use "Seed of Desire"."

"And this time the loss of the tree wolf clan even exceeded that of the last war."

"And this time the Black Wolf Clan has completely fallen to the empire, so Leng Dao said that they will not stop this time."

Sun Simiao's words were very calm.

But Cato knew what he meant.

The wolves that rushed into Razor Town began to massacre ordinary townspeople. The imperial army that was supposed to guard the town was almost collapsed, and retreated to the open space outside the town.

The flames from the wolf's mouth covered the entire town.

The imperial wizard, whom the empire was proud of, never appeared on the battlefield at all.

"But... will the empire really repeat the same mistakes so easily?"

Looking at Razortown, which had turned into a sea of ​​flames, Jiatu couldn't help asking.

"Of course not—you mean to say so?"

Sun Simiao turned his head, glanced at Jiatu, and nodded:

"I think so too."

"...so this is where we stand?"

Jiatu cast his eyes on the wolves, the flames and Razor Town:
"Not helping either side, not being an ally of either side... just sit back and watch their struggle come to an end?"

"After all, are we 'hedgehogs'..."

Listening to Sun Simiao's slightly mocking voice.

Cato closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The scene where the warrior of the wolf family swallowed the "Seed of Desire" echoed before his eyes, and the scene where the iron lotus fell in the black forest and was surrounded by the empire's black-robed wizards.

There is no justice and no evil...

Is this really true?

For the first time, he questioned the shelter's survival strategy.

If either the Timberwolves or the empire fell, would the expedition team, as a weak force, really have room to mediate between the two?

Jiatu confessed the confusion in his heart to Sun Simiao.

But in exchange for some sighing eyes from the other party:

"So what do you think we can do?"

Pointing to both sides of the war on the screen, he said:

"The wolf wants to kill the bear, or the bear wants to kill the wolf... Do you think our intervention really stops the progress of both sides?"

"At least we should be able to do something..."

Looking at the densely packed ammunition and weapons around him, Jiatu said with some difficulty.

"I can't do it... we really can't do it..."

Sun Simiao pointed to the screen and said, "Look... in the face of such power, what can we do?"

Jiatu followed Sun Simiao's gaze.

It was discovered that the battle situation in Razor Town has changed again.

Just when the troops of the Timberwolves rushed near the castle of the Nordwald family, the ground suddenly cracked.

Under the shattered castle of the Nordwald family, a crack as dark as an abyss opened, from which some kind of black liquid permeated.

Jiatu couldn't hear the sound of the ground breaking that day through the camera of the rotor drone, but he could feel how earth-shattering it was from the faint vibration sound.

The black liquid like tentacles flew towards the wolves.

Leng Dao and the others retreated cautiously, attacking the tentacle with flame breath, trying to block its attack.

However, the tentacles did not attack the wolves, but swept towards the corpses and surviving townspeople in the town.

That is the black thread that countless divisions sweep through.

Although from the monitoring screen, what you can see is only black thin lines as thin as hair, but compared with the townspeople of Razor Town who were swept away by it, they are giants as thick as human waists and limbs!

At the same time, there are at least hundreds of tentacles protruding from the black abyss!

These black tentacles engulfed hundreds of Razortown townspeople and stuffed them into his huge black mouth. Jiatu could even see the bewildered and terrified expressions on the faces of those Empire townspeople passing by the drone cameras. !

They struggled and beat the black limbs around their waists, but they were pushed into the abyss amidst desperate screams.

With the "food intake" of the abyss reaching a certain level.

From the abyss, some kind of "giant" as black as ink stood up.

Its body is composed of various human bodies, and the townspeople embedded in the giant's body screamed in terror even the moment the giant stood up.

Jiatu could feel some kind of "ensemble" emotion from the countless wide-open mouths, and the giant turned into a monster tens of meters high, swung out his giant fist made up of black tentacles and human body, and slammed heavily on the ground. In the formation of the Timberwolves!
The giant's movements may seem slow, but that's compared to its huge body!

The giant fist of the human body hit the ground heavily, turning into countless severed limbs and plasma, hitting the nearby tree wolf warriors, causing their heads to bleed and their limbs to be fractured——

Not to mention being hit by the giant punch more than ten meters wide!

As the giant stood up, its originally orderly body collapsed, as if it could not support the body, and turned into a pool of slime monsters composed of corpses and flesh——

A corpse wave monster nearly [-] meters high!

The corpse tide slime monster raised its "soft tata" right hand and slammed at Leng Dao and the others.

Every attack can take away the lives of dozens of Mishu wolf warriors!
"Retreat! Retreat!"

Leng Dao, who had just been promoted to warrior commander, shouted loudly, ordering the team of the tree wolf tribe.

And the slime's fist passed over his head.

Countless black threads swept over the corpse, hitting him like cannonballs, bombarding the wall, smashing everything——

At the same time, those corpses that were dragged by the black thread also turned into more broken flesh!

However, as if the slime monster didn't notice this, it rolled up its shattered limbs, devoured more corpses and lives, and squirmed slowly in the direction of Tianhuo Peak.

.

"Success! Success! The secret technique of the Ministry of Beloved! The Laughing Giant!"

The nobles of the empire who were hiding in the nearby mountains all looked at the giant corpse wave in front of them in silence.

Only Master True Love was in ecstasy, raising his hands and shouting something to the members of the Beloved Department.

Watching the true love mage who fell into madness and Shao Le Wuhua who was in despair.

The only "normal person" present, Sir Cavendish, walked slowly to Baron Nordwar, and said with a little awe and emotion: "...I never thought that you would be willing to sacrifice your daughter... If the empire can get The 'God Crystal Circuit' of the Mother of Skyfire...Your Excellency should make the first contribution..."

Nordwald silently looked at the abyss in the distance. Even though he couldn't see the movement in the dark depths, he could still feel that Wendy folded her arms and cried with her head down——

In fact, this ritual of Master True Love does not need the waste of Tielian Wuhua at all.

It was "Wendy Nordwald", a "genius" who was born with fifteen magic circuits!
You know, most ordinary humans, that is, the nine demon circuits, if you count the six "artificial circuits" inherited by the Nordwar family, there are no more than fifteen——

And Wendy was born with fifteen!

If she could be born in the family of an earl or even a viscount, she would be held high in the patriarch's hands like a treasure!
It is a pity that she was born in the Nordwar family——

This extremely dilapidated baron noble family.

There is the threat of the tree wolf clan in front, and the door opener is pressing forward step by step.

So Baron Nordwarna had to make a sacrifice——

He turned his eyes to the distance, looking at the black giant Noah and Lancelot in shock, with a trace of tenderness in his eyes: "Tie Lian Wuhua is just a 'drug introduction', in order to let Wen Dee becomes the 'catalyst' of the ritual - the real 'Weeping Maiden'."

"Her desperation will be transformed into ritual power, leading the Laughing Giant to break through the barrier of the Mother of Skyfire."

"It's not a problem to destroy the entire world of the wolf tribe - as long as you can get the God Crystal of the Mother of Skyfire, whether it is you or our Nordwar family, at least one title will be promoted."

He seemed to be justifying himself, or sorting out his thoughts, and cast his gaze into the bottomless abyss:
"At that time, as long as Wendy can have a baby with Yade, that's enough."

.

Garto and the others were unaware of the conversation between Baron Nordwar and Sir Cavendish.

But the threat of corpse tide giants has become a nightmare for the tree wolf clan.

Leng Dao and the others tried their best to stop the advance of the corpse tide giant, but they attacked several times to no avail.

Instead, he suffered heavy casualties.

For this reason, Leng Dao had to seek the help of Sun Simiao, and asked the expedition team to transfer all the surviving villagers of the tree wolf tribe.

Sun Simiao did not reject this——

Because carrying out missions similar to the Red Cross Society and rescuing civilians on both sides is not within the forbidden range between the Opener and the Empire.

But when hundreds of surviving tree wolf villagers gathered near the cave camp, the sudden increase in logistical pressure still left Jiatu and the others stretched.

Fortunately, at this time, Yan Wu also led the other trainees who stayed in Nordwar Castle back to the cave camp.

At the same time, she also brings some news that is hard to say good or bad.

"The good news is that there is no need to continue the mission of capturing Wendy Nordwar."

The black-haired head maid looked at Sun Simiao and the other mission participants and said:
"The bad news is that Hannibal Nordwar and Master Lau from the Ministry of Beloved intend to completely destroy the tree wolf world and take away the 'God Crystal' of Weiji, the most important Mother of Skyfire in this world."

"The Divine Crystal of the Mother of Skyfire?"

Jiatu muttered this concept again, vaguely understood, but not sure.

"Correct."

Yan Wu glanced at him, and said slowly: "This thing is the core catalyst of the Skyfire Great Barrier, without this thing, the Sky Fire Barrier will collapse immediately, and at the same time, countless ghouls and miasma will engulf the world in an instant. None of us, nor the other Timberwolves, could survive in such a world."

"...This is the food source for the shelter... shall we continue to look at it like this?"

Wei Wei spoke with some difficulty, and turned his attention to Sun Simiao and Yan Wu:
"Aren't you worried that Baron Nordwar will backtrack?!"

"Wendy Nordwald has been given up."

However, Yan Wu replied very calmly:
"Baron Nordwar has decided to transfer the inherited witch seal from Wendy Nordward to Noah...the transfer ceremony will be presided over by the true love mage at that time, and no one can stop this process."

Yan Wu's eyes slowly swept over Jiatu and the others.

It's like saying "You can't either!"

Jiatu didn't know what Baron Nordwa was thinking, but after listening to Yan Wu's explanation of the entire giant ceremony, he did realize that the plan of the Second Corps had already won.

They became the only heirs of the Nordwa family without the Baron Nordwah being aware of it.

Although the destruction of the wolf world is a pity, the route from the empire to the wasteland world is not limited to the hunter's lodge.

As long as he can become the heir of the Nordward family, the Nordward family will definitely accept the achievement of Baron Nordward sacrificing his beloved daughter and winning a new "Golem Engine"-"God Crystal" for the emperor. Huge rewards.

And with these rewards, it is not a problem at all to open a new "transmission channel" between the refuge and Nordwar's new territory!

After all, that's what the teleportation circle leading to the empire in the backyard of the Nordwar family did!

　Three threads running all day...
