Cataclysm King

Chapter 535: Stealing the Luck of War
The Revolutionary Army and the Rebel Dragon Army met, and with Ji Xun as the middleman, there was no need to be shy.

Ji Xun used spatial means to break open the magic door that originally required a key, and saw a warehouse full of weapons and equipment.

This instantly ignited everyone's enthusiasm.

"Is this the standard battle armor of the Black Dragon Royal Legion? How many sets are there? Eight thousand sets? Ten thousand sets? Hahaha, the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce must have some connections. They can get so many of these things."

"Look, there are so many [Breaking Arrows] here! And these boxes are full of legion spell cards. There must be hundreds of thousands of spell cards, and the rank is not low. How many materials are needed to make them?"

"The armor and equipment are all brand new. I guess they had made some changes in the Source Workshop. Tsk tsk, they were well prepared. If the rebellious legions in the city had this batch of equipment, I'm afraid this riot would be out of control."

"There should be more than one warehouse like this in the city. Let's clean up this one and go check other places."

"."

The Giant City was once a territory directly under the Holy See, and was also a strategic fortress leading to the Warcraft Forest.

Extraordinary materials are abundant here, so there are also a large number of magic equipment workshops.

The best quality card materials and leather armor in the entire Arel Empire are produced in the Giant City.

It seems that the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce had been planning to provide equipment to the rebels a long time ago.

Sets of armor forged from sub-dragon scales and magic steel were neatly arranged on the shelves, reflecting a cold glow under the lights.

Spear, shield, great sword, battle axe, cards.
These are all high-quality equipment supplied to the three royal legions.

Normally, it is taboo to let even a set of armor enter the market, but now, these things appear in piles in front of everyone.

The Revolutionary Army and the Rebel Dragon Army both have their own regular legions. They are well aware of the value of these equipments and the great role they can play in the future.

Although it is of no use to top card masters like them, it is definitely first-class quality equipment for large legions!
Legion-level battles do not require any ultimate spell cards, only quantity is needed.

Even a very ordinary [Fireball], if released by ten thousand people together, is enough to have the effect of a forbidden spell.

In Ji Xun's eyes, he saw that the impact of these equipment on the riots would be infinitely magnified.

With this batch of equipment, almost no one could stop the riot in Giant City.

Those aristocratic manors and wealthy businessmen still have a large amount of equipment, and they are bound to be targets of looting.

Once the flames of war are ignited, the riots will snowball and become uncontrollable.

When Ji Xun thought of this, he had already seen the grand plan of the 'Lord of War and Disasters, Monliod'.

Ji Xun and his team have now removed some of the firewood from the fire that was about to break out.

Originally, both groups thought that the other side was an enemy and were fighting for the ownership of these war resources.

Now both sides did not mind at all, and even gave in to each other, and quickly collected all the spoils together.

Everyone left quickly.

Because they have a more important place to go.

"Aragorn, are you saying that there is an altar to the Lord of War in this city?"

"Yes. 'Lord of War Monliod' has been targeted by the Holy See for many years, and he doesn't have many followers. Now he needs war to quickly gather the power of war, so he needs a riot big enough to activate people's faith in war. Before I came here, the leader told me to pay special attention to the leader of this riot. It is possible that he is the divine body of the Lord of War."

"Then I might know who it is."

"Who?"

"A gladiator, the Blue Knight Cornabos. A former member of the Ceres royal family."

"."

When it comes to intelligence, the Rebel Dragon Army, which has been operating in the southern continent for three thousand years, knows much more than Ji Xun.

What's more, behind the current Dragon Rebel Army is the mysterious organization of the Illuminati.

Once the intelligence from both sides was summarized, the whole context of the incident was quickly clarified.

They chatted as they walked.

Ji Xun and his colleagues were not opposed to slave uprisings, and even held a positive attitude towards this movement to liberate the poor at the bottom of society.

But this time it's different.

The Lord of War's goal is not liberation, but to cause chaos that would destroy civilization.

The huge Giant City was already filled with raging fires, corpses could be seen everywhere on the streets, and there were groups of armed thugs who were extremely excited.

Some were newly freed slaves, but the vast majority were ordinary civilians, mercenaries, and adventurers.

More and more people joined the riot.

Their eyes were red and they were very excited.

Watching the raging fire in the city, watching the faces of the nobles who were usually high and mighty filled with panic, and then turned into corpses, the wealth in the house was within reach.
Order is in chaos and class is collapsing.

This feeling gave the rioters a morbid sense of pleasure.

It seems to have aroused the most primitive demons in people's hearts, giving people a highly inflammatory psychological suggestion.

It seems to be saying: As long as you kill, kill, and kill, you can easily get everything.

Killing, revenge, cruelty, greed, lust.
Without restraint, the demons in people's hearts are infinitely magnified and released by some mysterious force.

With sharp weapons in hand, murderous intentions arise.

This is the power of faith that the Lord of War needs.

Ji Xun looked at him without much fluctuation in his eyes, as if he was standing from the perspective of a bystander of history, watching an epic story that was being played out.

He saw a huge chessboard.

Everyone is a chess piece, and they rush forward following the lines on the chessboard.

The chess player (Monliod, Lord of War) was fiddling with the chess pieces on the board without any emotion, not caring at all about their life or death.

In the eyes of God, humans are really like ants.

As his thoughts raced, two groups of elite troops, the Revolutionary Army and the Rebel Dragon Army, had already arrived at the Municipal Street in the center of the city.

This was once the neighborhood where the branch of the Holy See was located. There were a large number of guild halls that provided accommodation for wealthy foreigners and nobles. It was definitely a wealthy area.

The street was dead silent at this moment, with more than a dozen bodies, which looked like slaves, hanging on both sides of the intersection.

The warning is strong.

The nobles have their own guard corps, and some high-ranking nobles even have top-level guards. Everyone knows that they are not easy to mess with.

At this moment, the nobles have organized a guard corps and are patrolling the streets.

So the riots haven't spread here yet.

Aragorn stopped and pointed to a house not far away and said, "That's the small building. We have been following a few believers of the War Disaster, and they live there. And judging from the riots in the city, this is most likely the center of the Outer God's altar. The riots have just started, and the sacrifices haven't taken place yet. If it's later, it's hard to say."

Ji Xun nodded: "Yeah."

He sensed that there were indeed several powerful forces in this block, most likely level eight.

Moreover, the patrol teams are very well-equipped. If there is a head-on confrontation, Ji Xun and his group may not be able to gain the upper hand.

Those believers are also very smart. They put the altar here. Even if it is discovered, once a conflict occurs, they will be immediately blocked by the guard corps in the rich area.

This is also the reason why Aragorn and the others did not take action before.

But now, Ji Xun is here.

Aragorn knew that Ivan was with him.

Moreover, when the two gangs joined together, they would not be afraid even if they encountered eighth-level guards.

The patrolling guards are very professional, so there is no doubt that the possibility of sneaking in quietly is almost zero.

The revolutionary army and the rebel army are not familiar with each other, so it is impossible for them to cooperate tacitly in a short time.

But both parties have absolute trust in Ji Xun.

Ji Xun knew this and acted as the commander without hesitation, saying what he was thinking: "A few of us, the seventh-level warriors, will rush in and destroy the altar. The others will stay outside to contain them and attract their attention."

Qin Rushi: "Yeah."

Aragorn: "Yeah."

The leaders of both sides nodded, and their respective teams dispersed.

Ji Xun's tactic is to force his way in simply and roughly, but it is also the most effective method.

He has dealt with believers of the Outer Gods many times.

Regardless of how powerful these people are, one very troublesome thing about them is that they can summon the will of foreign gods to descend.

Therefore, Ji Xun’s plan was to not give those foreign god believers time to react, and to kill them as soon as they entered, without giving them any chance to call on the gods.

After several top masters discussed it, the battle plan was completed in an instant.

Ji Xun used pastries to wake up the sleeping Ivan. When the space door opened, a group of people entered one after another.

On the other side of the space door is a large basement.

In the center of the basement, there is an octagonal altar covered with mysterious runes, like a broken pagoda.

Ji Xun was very familiar with the style of the divine patterns on the altar at first glance. He had seen them before in the treasury of Count Wushan. They pointed to the "Lord of War, Monliod".

But not as complicated as this.

The altar in front of him was filled with hundreds of broken swords that looked like they were found in the ruins of a battlefield. The glowing magic patterns looked more like flowing blood, and it was filled with the smell of killing and blood.

To the naked eye, it looks like countless heroic spirits of soldiers are charging into battle on an ancient battlefield sand table.

At this moment, a group of sneaky guys in red cloaks were fiddling with something at the eight corners of the altar.

"who!"

Before those cloaked men could react to what was happening, Ji Xun and his companions had already taken action without further ado.

As Qin Rushi entered, the shadow of the immortal appeared behind him, and the spell was instantly completed: "Immortal Spell·Forbidden God Realm!"

The God Stealer Sequence has its own unique way of dealing with Outer Gods. They use their magic to directly seal the connection between the Outer Gods and the altar.

The expressions of those cloaked men changed, and they had already sensed that their connection with the gods had been severed.

Just as I was about to do something, my body suddenly sank.

"Secret: Solidity of Steel!"

But it was Aragorn who took action.

He slapped the ground with both hands, and at the same time as Qin Rushi took action, he activated the spell that he had prepared long ago, triggering a terrifying gravitational field, directly imprisoning the eight cloaked men in place.

Aragorn's attainment in the secret art of "Calling the Gods to Fall" may be the best in the world. With the sneak attack, he has confined the space near the altar like steel.

Ji Xun, who was not affected by gravity, just happened to teleport away. "Bang" "Bang" two punches.

Then,

There were two explosion sounds, "Puff" and "Puff".

In an instant, the heads of the two cloaked men exploded into a ball of bloody mist.

Aragorn and Qin Rushi also rushed in, and the three of them joined forces to kill four more people in a blink of an eye.

Finally, the two of them reacted and wanted to resist. They were instantly wrapped in a layer of divine shield and they immediately activated the cards in their hands to connect with the gods again.

However, at this moment, dense white feathers not far away flashed and directly pierced through the divine shield, causing the two men to freeze on the spot.

The one who made the move was surprisingly Dark Peacock.

As they got to know each other better, although he was still cold and arrogant, he became more willing to help Ji Xun occasionally.

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi were familiar with Peacock's methods.

However, when Aragorn looked at the two cloaked men who were killed instantly, he was shocked and felt very surprised: What kind of method is this?
The two men had already put up a divine shield, and it was not easy for him to deal with them alone, so how could he kill them instantly?
Looking at the eight corpses in front of them, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

These believers of foreign gods are quite powerful and impressive. The two strongest ones are at level seven, and they also have the protection of gods and treasures. If they really fight head-on, it will take a while to defeat them.

Fortunately, Ji Xun and his men joined forces, and no matter what tricks that guy had, they were useless and he died on the spot.

As expected.

After observing for a while, I found that there were no other living people in the secret room.

While Ji Xun and his companions were collecting the spoils from the corpses, their eyes all fell on the altar in the center of the room.

The blood mist lingering on the altar condensed into twisted rune-like shapes, which was the "Law of War" manifested in a way that was visible to the naked eye.

Qin Rushi frowned as he looked at him and explained, "This seems to be a legendary large-scale divine barrier, 'Poker Game·Sparta's Uprising'. It is said that this is the best promotion ceremony for the [Club J-War Commander] sequence. The riot uprising can allow the card master of this sequence to quickly comprehend the mystery of the law of war, and also have the blessing of luck."

"Ah."

When Ji Xun heard the name, he searched for some fragmentary information in his mind.

He wasn't surprised either.

I guessed before that the Blue Knight of the Blue Cross Corps, Konabos, was the chosen one of the Lord of War, so the slave uprising in Giant Spirit City this time was probably a promotion ceremony specially prepared for that person. He might even be promoted directly to a very high rank.

Qin Rushi looked at the altar and pondered for a while, his expression slightly solemn, and said: "This ceremony has already begun, and it cannot be stopped."

Once a war begins, it is impossible to stop it and certain results must be achieved.

This is the method of the Outer Gods.

"That's it"

After hearing this, Ji Xun fell into deep thought.

He seemed to see a big hand above his head moving a chess piece, marking the beginning of a big game of chess.

Just this small move has set the chessboard on fire, and millions of people in the entire city will die.

Numb, cold, heartless, unfathomable mystery
Ji Xun has actually glimpsed some of the gods' methods, which are based on the rules of the universe.

This is a force that cannot be stopped by mortal power.

This slave uprising was not a sudden event, but an inevitable result of the development of slavery for countless years.

As the two were thinking, they heard the sound of fighting outside.

It must be that the people outside noticed something and started fighting.

Ji Xun was just thinking about it when Aragorn, who had been checking around the altar, suddenly realized something and asked in surprise, "This altar is actually the base of the Tower of Babel?"

Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard it, and confirmed: "You mean, this is the Royal Academy's half of the [Tower of Babel]?"

"Yeah. Most likely."

Aragorn nodded, took another look at the divine runes on the altar, and said, "The leader reminded us before that we should pay attention to the whereabouts of this treasure when we come to Giant Spirit City. She said that this treasure is an octagonal broken tower, engraved with the rune symbols of the eight divine runes of space, time, elements, fate, war, order, prophecy, and rule. I just observed it and they all match."

The top leaders of the Rebel Dragon Army have a complete heritage of the Taren Palace, and they have seen many treasures from the Taren period.

"."

Hearing this, Ji Xun's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and after observing for a while, he found that it was true.

He had heard before that the Tower of Babel had fallen into the hands of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't expect to see it here.

Together with the other half that he had seen in the City of Innocence before, this was the inherited treasure of the Talen Dynasty - [Shenxu Treasure House]!
If this treasure is obtained, one can artificially create a certain degree of controllable extra-dimensional space, which can be a powerful tool for continuously cultivating excellent card masters in the future.

It is definitely a national weapon.

Aragorn pondered for a moment, and then said, "It seems that these believers of the war disaster want to use the divine runes on it to upgrade this riot to a divine artifact blessing, making it even more irreversible."

"Ah."

Ji Xun also thought of this.

But here comes the problem.

Now that the altar has been activated, even if they kill those believers, they cannot reverse the situation.

The riots seemed to be escalating along their original trajectory, and then the war and chaos would sweep across the entire southern continent.

Ji Xun and the other two fell into deep thought.

Seeing the plan of Monliod, the Lord of War, succeed, they always felt that there should be something else they could do besides getting some spoils.

But faced with millions of rioters throughout the city, the two groups of people combined could not change anything.

The fighting outside was getting more and more intense, and even the sound of bombs exploding could be heard.

It seems that some believers of the Outer Gods outside have discovered something unusual and organized a corps of noble guards, and are rushing towards this secret room desperately.

The comrades of the Revolutionary Army and the Rebel Dragon Army who were responsible for providing cover had to use bombs that would reveal their identities.

If they really keep wasting time, they won't be able to hold on for long.

Ji Xun knew it was time for them to leave.

Without any hesitation, Ivan swallowed the entire altar.

As for the things on the altar, they can be cleaned up slowly later.

Several people stepped out of the space channel and left the secret room.

As soon as he went out, he sent a signal.

Both sides quickly evacuated the wealthy area of ​​Municipal Street as planned.

Before the guards could figure out what was happening, they had already disappeared completely.

They didn't dare to chase after him.

Not long after, the two groups met again in a dark alley.

Some people were injured, but fortunately there were no casualties.

Originally, they were planning to follow the original plan and take advantage of the chaos to eliminate other Rainbow Chamber of Commerce bases.

But just as they were about to split up, Ji Xun's expression suddenly brightened and he said, "I have an idea!"

Without waiting for anyone to ask, he said directly: "Since this slave rebellion is a promotion ceremony given by the Lord of War to His divine body, then what will happen if we divide the rebels?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Rushi and Aragon's expressions immediately brightened.

When it comes to guiding a riot, these two are professionals, and they immediately understood what Ji Xun meant.

Since the riots and uprisings cannot be stopped, then divert them!

In fact, humans, like most monsters, are also a very blindly obedient race.

When it comes to actions like rioting, most people would choose to join the main force.

One is to protect yourself, the other is to gain benefits.

Although the Blue Cross Legion composed of the Serres people was the initiator of the uprising, they were only a minority after all.

They are not the only choice for the leader either!

If there is someone else to guide, the flow will definitely be diverted.

It just so happens that when it comes to rebellion, there is no organization more professional than the Revolutionary Army and the Rebel Dragon Army!

The "Blue Knight" Cornopus has the talent of a commander, luck and divine power, and is destined to succeed.

But what would happen if someone’s promotion ceremony, which was supposed to be his, was diverted?
This is a promotion ceremony that "Lord of War and Disaster Monliod" has been planning for a long time and prepared for his chosen one. It is also a great opportunity to steal the fortune of the empire.

The fortune of this empire was stolen by the foreign gods, and Ji Xun and his men can steal it as well!
Stealing the fortune of war and disaster, even a mouthful of soup from the gods is enough to fill them up!

"Yup!"

A [Valkyrie], a [Hero].

Coincidentally, both of them are in a career sequence that can gain great insights from war.

Moreover, if we can subdue this group of rebels, it will be a huge boost to the power of both sides!

If we can guide the rebels, and with Master Merlin's [Gene Anchoring Potion], the people of the Southern Continent will no longer be controlled by the dragon. Whether it is the Revolutionary Army or the Dragon Rebel Army, in today's Southern Continent, they can be regarded as having their own powerful military force.

When Qin Rushi and Aragorn heard Ji Xun's plan, they immediately agreed with it.

"We will disperse and guide the rebels separately. If anyone has any situation, please use the communicator to keep in touch."

"it is good!"

Both sides were very professional and immediately took action and scattered.

Dozens of people were divided into dozens of groups. In this way, they could quickly lead a large number of rebellious slaves. By the time they gathered together, even the Blue Cross Legion supported by the Outer Gods would be unable to do anything.

Moreover, both sides were insurgents and had no reason to fight.

In this way, it was as if everyone had made a brilliant move in the game of chess against God.

Ji Xun did not participate in the riot.

He had little experience in leading riots and wouldn't be able to help much if he went there.

Together with Peacock, he went to the battle area between Gong Wu and the "Blue Knight" Cornopus.

Ji Xun felt that keeping an eye on this chosen one would be a crucial step.

Just as everyone else was busy, he also wanted to look for other treasure troves of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.
