Heart of the Castle

Chapter 905 The beacon is burning everywhere, and the manager offers countermeasures

The body of Philip II, King of the Kingdom of Flora, was discovered by the Raven scouts in a mountain depression about 5 kilometers away from the battlefield, along with the body of the first branch of the White Hart Knights. A total of 60 elite knights.The entire mountain depression seemed to be smeared with blood, and there was a shocking scarlet everywhere. The blood-stained corpses were piled up in pieces like torn clay dolls, and it was rare to see them. See a more complete body.

Only a very few people can step into this killing field without changing their expressions, including the head of the Sword of Condemnation Ingram and the Seraph Rist Robinson who always wears a gentle smile.Surrounded by a small group of Griffin Knights, Levi Stone tried his best to maintain a numb expression and moved forward, even breathing carefully, for fear of making some embarrassing move if he didn't pay attention.

The Marquis Fuldan, head of the White Hart Knights, is a famous commander who has experienced many battles. Such scenes should have been commonplace for him. After all, although the scale of the battle between human kingdoms is not too large Big, but it is not surprising that there are hundreds of horrific corpses in a battle.But now his face is paler than Li Wei, and when he steps forward in a daze, people can't help but think of a puppet being manipulated.

More than one person stared at Captain Fuldan with sympathetic eyes, and then quickly looked away. The leader of the White Hart Knights lost the king who swore allegiance and the comrade-in-arms entrusted with life and death at the same time today, but his expression was a little abnormal It is already an extraordinary performance of his psychological endurance.

After passing the corpses of many knights and war horses, everyone came to a place where the smell of blood was the strongest.It was obvious that an extremely tragic fight took place here. More than a dozen knights of the Kingdom of Florsa fell to the ground almost overlapping each other. Most of their heads were smashed to pieces, but the weapons in their hands were pointing in the same direction.

The corpse of Philip II was behind these knights. At the last moment of his life, His Majesty the King obviously chose to bow to the evil. His headless corpse knelt on the ground in a very humiliating posture, with his right hand on the ground, The unsheathed saber was at hand, and his left hand was raised stiffly above his head, holding up a golden crown of gemstones stained red with blood.

It was the symbol of royal power of the Kingdom of Floresa.

Kneeling did not win Philip II a chance to survive. What he faced was not an opponent who could impress with words and attitudes, but an abomination who did not know what pity and mercy were.Philip II's neck is bent back at a terrible angle, allowing him to keep his knees while looking straight at the sky.Those eyes were bloodshot and filled with endless fear.

"Your Majesty... it was my mistake that caused you... to die!" Commander Fuldan staggered a few steps forward, knelt down in front of Philip II's body and cried bitterly. "If only I could hold on a little longer, the rescue troops came in a timely manner, and you won't die here at all."

Li Wei clenched his fists, restraining the nausea rolling in his chest, and squatted down in front of a tragically dead White Hart Knight.The armor of this White Hart Knight is the most gorgeous among all the knights. The surface is coated with a layer of white enamel, and the edges are shining with bright gold. Li Wei can see that this armor was once a good magic item, but now The structure has been destroyed by some terrible force, completely losing its protection.

The broken long sword of the White Hart Knight fell next to the corpse. Li Wei picked up the blade, looked at the traces of the broken part, and then turned the corpse to check the fatal wounds on the corpse.Half a minute later, the young regent suddenly stood up with an ugly expression on his face.

"One fatal blow, this knight was fatally shot by his opponent." Li Wei said in an extraordinarily heavy tone, "The blow to the chest completely shattered his heart, which is already a fatal blow, but His right arm was ripped off posthumously - by a mouth full of sharp teeth."

"Gods in the sky... have mercy..." After seeing this scene, even the nervous steel-fist knight Dragoonsun couldn't help turning pale, and raised his hand in a prayer gesture . "What the hell killed them, it looked like a bunch of beasts!"

"No wild beast can so easily wipe out a whole group of well-armed elite knights. Even if they are attacked by a group of bobcats in the forest, they can still kill a bloody path." Li Wei frowned and replied, "The wound It contains some kind of very strange power, which is very corrosive, and..." His gaze froze suddenly, and then he let out a low moan.

"The weird power seems to be completely dark, but it actually belongs to the extremely distorted light power... This guy... This guy is Garibaldi!"

"Garibaldi?" This name obviously caught the attention of Chief Ingram, and he suddenly raised his head, "Garibaldi the Light-sick, the number one subordinate of Dimalit of the Endless Dark Sun, has repeatedly The Garibaldi who blatantly resisted the blazing angel sent by the Lord of Radiance, Flandara, and participated in the war for the position of the Radiance, and was exiled by the Lord of Radiance to the plane of eternal prison!"

"That's right, it's that Garibaldi." Li Wei stroked the hilt of the knight's sword, with an unquestionable toughness in his tone, "Except for those who hate the light, there is only endless power. Only the Dark Sun Dimalit can have it, but the Endless Dark Sun has either completely fallen, or has also left this world...I am absolutely sure of this."

Chief Ingram's face was flushed strangely, his fists were clenched tightly, and many veins were exposed on the back of his hands.Even though he was convinced that the Lord of Glory, Flandara, had given up on this world, as a fanatic, he still had a strong sense of identification with the golden queen.To be able to fight against the evil culprits recorded in the Canon of Glory, such as the Pale Ones, is simply a great opportunity bestowed by heaven for the commander-in-chief Ingram.

"Your Excellency Leviston, Garibaldi the Patient is the mortal enemy of the Temple of Glory. It is my lifelong dream to cut him under the sword. Please give me this opportunity..." Chief Ingram said Asked in a fanatical tone.

Li Wei shook his head worriedly, and then condensed a mass of gentle white light on his hand. The cloud of black mist that was originally wrapped around his fingers let out a small and sharp neigh, and suddenly fluctuated, unexpectedly being able to Against the power of this purification.However, because it was only a negligible residual power, the struggle of the black mist did not persist for too long in the end. The gentle white light quietly submerged the black mist, and then restored the scorched skin on Li Wei's fingers to its original state.

"Garibaldi's power is extraordinary. Although he also belongs to the gods, he is completely different from the low-level gods we dealt with just now. Even among the high-level gods, he is considered a top powerhouse." Li Wei quietly Tasting the pain of that finger turning from numbness to needle prick, "Just a negligible amount of power remaining on the wound can resist the purification technique I performed. If I can do this, the light-averse person may have It is equivalent to the power of a demigod, at least it is far superior to ordinary legendary powerhouses."

"Garibaldi is terrifying, very powerful, and his power can pollute the light, corrupt the blazing angels, and turn the living into living corpses that cannot touch the light." Chief Ingram nodded in agreement, but his tone seemed The more fanatical and frightening, "Although I may die because of this, this is my lifelong dream, so please agree to my request!"

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then shook his head again, and this time he was more determined than before, "There are other battlefields that need your sword more, Commander Ingram, although the boredom is a trouble, it is far from the biggest Trouble, if destroying it can save the world from the doomsday crisis, the Griffon Knights have already completed this mission. The Shining Temple Guardian Knights have quite powerful power and must be used in the most critical places , and you are the sharp edge of this team, without your existence, it may be difficult for Chief Layton to support himself."

"Yes, Brother Ingram, you should put the overall situation first." Let the calm and powerful voice of Commander Layton come from behind, and at the same time pat Ingram's shoulder lightly with the palm of his hand, "Although I I can command the Guardian Knights, but I can't charge like you. A few days ago, I confronted the Berserker Lord of the Abyss Demon Realm behind the gate of Tarlon Fortress, but he easily beat me Fell to the ground, crushed over me like trampling on an ant."

Chief Ingram's lips twitched a few times in dissatisfaction, and finally heaved a heavy sigh, "I understand, Your Excellency Levi Ston, and Brother Jean Layton, I will obey orders meticulously, for the sake of the world. future."

"Yes, for the future of the world." Li Wei tried his best to sound confident, but there was still deep worry in his eyes.

The four alchemy airships carried the surviving Knights of the Kingdom of Florence back to Fort Tarlon. Li Wei was the first to jump off the gangway, and then helped Captain Fuldan, who was holding the body of Philip II in his arms, down.The latter's face was almost as pale as the corpse in his arms, but he still insisted on carrying the monarch who swore allegiance off the flying ship with his own hands, and then put it into the coffin that was hastily prepared.

Under the auspices of the Deputy Archbishop of the Temple of the Earth, the Tarlon Fortress held a small-scale mourning ceremony. After the ceremony, the coffin of Philip II was carried into the cellar under the main building and placed there. It is also the resting place of many famous knights and nobles who died in battle.This kind of treatment is obviously not in line with the honorable status that a king deserves. However, due to the urgent situation and whether Philip II will be able to live and die with the knights in the end, even Captain Fuldan has no choice. Make a dissatisfied voice.

Almost as soon as Li Weiston returned to Tarlon Fortress, he was overwhelmed by the overwhelming intelligence. The Bamilyan chief couldn't even get the information sent back by the spies that the Sleepless Eye had placed in various countries at once, enough for him I ran three or four times.These are all information sent back through the secretly arranged divine power network, and the earliest time it happened was not earlier than this morning.Li Wei quickly inspected the information with the griffin feathers in it, and his face was gloomy with more worries, and his eyes seemed to be blowing the cold wind that howled all day long over the extreme northern ice sheet.

"Gods behold, the capital of the Sigis Kingdom has fallen, the entire army of the Silver Crowned Raven Knights has been wiped out, and the whereabouts of the king and members of the royal family are unknown." Li Wei slammed the top scroll on the table, almost Unable to contain the anger in my heart. "Master Bamilian, they say that only crows can bring bad news, why are you now equating with 'Sir Clever Mouth'?"

Steward Bamilian smiled wryly and bowed, "I'm afraid I will bring you more bad news, Your Excellency the Regent." Then he took out a few pages of parchment from his sleeve and placed it gently on the At the top of the pile of information, "The spies stationed in the desert country Abraham and the mercenary city Tatarchuk have never responded. There are also several duchies in the Shining Alliance who have lost contact. The strength of these duchies is very average. I doubt They were not able to withstand the attack of the gods, and they were completely destroyed."

The worse news made Li Wei calm down, "It seems that the situation is more serious than I imagined, the number of low-level gods has obviously exceeded the previous estimate, and they cannot live in the eternal prison for thousands of years Or the lord Thomas Jansen used the Alchemy God Realm to create more evils, but why did he do this?" Levi returned to his seat and tapped with his fingers desktop, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

The chief of the palace, Bamilian, was also thinking, and perhaps because he was full of intrigues, he found the key to the problem faster than Li Wei, "Your Excellency the Regent, in my opinion, this is probably not a bad thing." He said Said in a soft and humble tone, "If you have full confidence, Tomad Jansen only needs to quietly absorb the godhead of the Father God. There is no need to spend energy to open the eternal prison, and there is no need to waste power to create a large number of low-level gods. "

"You mean to say that Thomas Jansen released and created these abominations in order to slow down our pace, because he was afraid that we would disrupt his plan?"

"You are really wise, Your Excellency the Regent." The Bamilian Chief showed a humble smile that seemed to have become a signature, "It is not just because there are more than a dozen legends gathered here For the strong, no amount of low-level gods can cause too much damage; moreover, we hope that we will spread out and go around the world to encircle those gods, so that we will not be able to gather enough power within seven days."

Li Wei let out a heavy breath, "Master Bamilian, if you can speak without that overly flattering tone, I will feel more comfortable." Then he took out a leather map from the drawer under the table, Spread out on the table, "Tell me, if it were you, how would you deal with the current situation?"

"The more Tomad Jansen doesn't want us to do something, the more we will do it." The Bamilian manager replied confidently, "Your Excellency the Regent, we should ignore those gods who destroy and make trouble everywhere now, and continue Follow our previous plan."

"Several principalities have been attacked, and the loss of life and property is equally huge. The Kingdom of Sigis has not even kept the king. This is not counting those places where it is impossible to confirm what happened because they lost contact." Li Wei He patted the map in front of him angrily, "Boss Bamilian, you said you would continue to follow the original plan, but how could this be possible? Do you want to watch the gods slaughter our brothers of the same clan, and will Is all the precious power gathered in Tarlon Fortress?"

"When the whole world is facing the doomsday crisis, sacrifice is already inevitable." The smile on the face of Bamilyan suddenly slipped away, and he replied in a dignified tone never before, "Your Excellency the Regent Compared with the success or failure of the final decisive battle in the Domain of Gods, this loss is insignificant at all. What's more, having the entire continent face the threat of evil has a very strong persuasive effect on our plan."

"Can you sacrifice the lives of so many innocent people for this?" Li Wei asked in a stiff voice.

"This is exactly what I want to remind you. People who face despair all the time have more devout faith than those who live in a peaceful and peaceful environment. Since you need a lot of faith power, these gods who are raging everywhere It will be of great help." Bamilyan's eyes were shining with a blood-red light, making his eyes look like two bright rubies.

"Then who do I get the power of faith from?" Li Wei snorted in a cold voice, "Let me remind you, Chief Bamilian, dead people don't bring faith."

"Although it seems that the countries on the mainland are fighting everywhere, after careful statistics, it is not difficult to find that, except for the Sijishi Kingdom, which is regarded as a deterrent target, the attacks on other places are not very serious, at most some Villages and small towns were massacred, and places with strong defenses, such as important military towns and capitals, were not attacked." Chief Bamilian stepped forward silently, pointing his finger at the leather map In several places, "This shows that the number of gods and evils is still relatively limited. In just seven days, it is actually impossible to wipe out tens of millions of residents on the entire continent."

The places pointed out by Director Bamilian are indeed relatively close. It seems that the gods and evils appeared at the same time, but if you carefully verify the time, you will find that there are still differences.The speed of action of the gods is extremely fast, even the best war horses can't match it, so the gods that caused the destruction of two villages and towns in different duchies are probably not two batches.

Li Wei's hands were clenched into fists. He instinctively hated this kind of thing, but in order to increase the odds of winning the final battle seven days later, he had to suppress this instinct.

"Go on, Master Bamilian, I'm listening."

"Haven't we already sent a large number of itinerant priests to spread the faith? Your Excellency, now I suggest that you send more itinerant priests, and send all the priests of the Shining Protestantism, the Temple of the Earth, and the Temple of the Storm under our control." Get out. We need to set off a frenzy of belief on the mainland, even if this frenzy lasts only for a short seven days, it will be enough!" The voice of the Bamilian manager became high-pitched, and the degree of frenzy was definitely not as strong as that of a The priest who preached was inferior, and then his voice lowered, and his expression even seemed a little secretive.

"Of course, we can't leave innocent people under the threat of evil. Your Excellency the Regent, I want to ask you a more confidential question. Among the legendary powerhouses you can mobilize, how many are already in the castle?" Are you ready to bind your soul in the Hall of Valor in your heart?"
