In the sea area of the royal city, Ozurik Island.
The once prosperous port has collapsed, dried blood stains are constantly washed away by the sea, rotting corpses attract flies, insects and rats, and the continuous rain makes the air filled with a hint of bloody and earthy smell.
The once bustling city area has become fragmented, giant monsters are wreaking havoc leaving footprints and deep pits, and irrational monsters are wandering in the shadows. This place has completely become a paradise for monsters, with signs of erosion everywhere.
Click.
There was a sound of footsteps on the mud.
The crew of the Green slowly landed on this familiar yet unrecognizable island.
"Roar-"
The roars of monsters could be heard all around, and disgusting polluted creatures crawled out from the beach, trying to devour the humans who still had their sanity in front of them.
In the ruins of the city, a huge figure slowly stood up, with pieces of rotten flesh falling from his body like rain, and his face covered with densely packed eyeballs stared at the ships on the shore.
Gurgle gurgle…
The monster that was crawling on the ground and madly chewing the human flesh slowly raised its head.
Boom boom boom…
The ground was shaking continuously, and strange cracks kept appearing in the air.
At this moment, it was like a drop of water splashing into a boiling oil pan, bringing out countless monsters hiding in the silence.
But, in the next second.
The dark yellow wings of destruction spread out on the shore, like the rising sun on the sea level, spreading rapidly to the entire shore.
In an instant, the light shines brightly.
Destruction has arrived. All the filth and dirt are like broken mirrors, shattering and disintegrating, turning into ashes floating in the air, and gradually dissipating...
The ruins and the broken harbor returned to peace.
Rogge ignored the row of kill information coming from the prompt bar and led everyone on the Green towards the center of the island.
After everyone leaves.
A disgusting, sticky gurgling sound came from the coast as if it had come alive again.
However, at some point, thick black clouds gathered in the sky, and lightning with a dark yellow aura of destruction was faintly visible.
Boom!
The thunderstorm that shook the heavens and the earth raged, as if a divine punishment had come, wreaking havoc and washing away the filth brought by the sea over and over again...
…
If the outer part of Ozurik Island is the territory that has been invaded by polluted monsters, then the central part of Ozurik is an even bloodier battlefield...
Countless rotten corpses and monster corpses, broken knight helmets and armor, broken swords and guns, and only the blood-stained rags of the extraordinary people's clothes left...
The blood has dyed the earth red, leaving all the soil with a faint smell of blood.
This is disgusting to humans, but it is a paradise for monsters to live in.
Rogue's destructive power washed over the polluted land again and again, uprooting the filth buried deep inside.
But even so, it is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.
Even after the abscess is removed, the lesion still exists.
The only way to completely eradicate pollution in the five seas is to find the source of the pollution and destroy it.
"what is that?"
Going deeper into the island along the shattered battlefield, Nomi discovered something strange and pointed to the cone-shaped object that seemed to be made of piled up corpses.
"A beehive can breed cannon fodder."
Roger retracted his gaze and responded calmly.
Taking advantage of the battlefield where death and corruption are rampant, build hives to breed lower-level monsters and further erode the resistant life in deeper levels.
Among these polluted monsters, there are also some that possess intelligence.
People like Senouvel who were willing to fall into pollution are a good example.
When he came, Rogge had already sensed the dirty guy who was retreating away from him.
After checking the situation in the royal city, he will go and solve it.
As soon as the thought came to mind, a black tide surged out, carrying with it fear.
Click, click…
The cone-shaped honeycomb was entangled by the terrifying black tide tentacles one after another, and was squeezed and collapsed. The irrational monster embryos also let out instinctive screams of fear and died along with the sticky fetal fluid...
The beehive is considered to be almost indestructible by the islanders of Ozurik, and the monsters inside are the source of their fear.
But at this moment, the one who killed them was undoubtedly a more terrifying existence...
…
Ozurick Island Center.
At this time, the royal city no longer resembled its former prosperity, as if the thick blood-colored dust had covered its former splendor.
The traces of war are almost everywhere, and people don't seem to have the time to restore the luxury of the past.
The bloody wind blew the gloomy drizzle, and people with hidden pain in their expressions did their own things silently.
The soldiers in armor and holding swords stared numbly at the bloody battlefield in the distance that seemed unchanging.
Among them, only one young man's eyes stood out from the crowd.
Compared with other soldiers, his eyes did not hide numbness and sorrow, but hope.
"Mr. Charles, when are we going out on our mission?"
The young man was thin, and the armor he wore seemed ill-fitting, but he looked very expectant.
As he spoke, he tightened the bloody handle of the old sword in his hand.
Facing this hopeful young man, Charles couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but he was not laughing at his naivety.
He did not respond to the young man's words, but reached out and straightened the knight's helmet which was obviously a little too big on the young man's head.
"I have it on."
"… This is Lance's helmet. That guy didn't like to wash his hair, and his scalp was infested with snakes, flies and insects, and it was oozing pus…"
Hearing his words, the young man's face froze, his face turned pale, and he even felt his scalp starting to itch.
Seeing that his words frightened him, Charles and a soldier next to him laughed.
"Don't worry, that guy doesn't like wearing a helmet either."
Hearing this, the young man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
But Charles' next words made him feel depressed again.
"Lance may be an ugly guy and no woman likes him, but he is a competent fighter."
"When the dirt came up from the sewer, he was the first one to notice it and alert us."
"Of course... he was also the first to die."
Seeing the young man's gloomy expression, Charles reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Now that you have become a warrior, don't disgrace this helmet on your head."
After saying this, Charles couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although the words sound good, the actual situation is that even soldiers like them who are guarding the front lines find it difficult to obtain weapons and equipment.
Even the equipment of the new recruits was picked up from the dead soldiers on the battlefield...
But young people obviously don't think so.
Hearing his words, the young man stood up straight and shouted, "Yes, Mr. Charles!"
"Don't be so loud, it will attract those monsters."
"Also, call me captain."
Charles frowned slightly, looked around vigilantly, and then said unhappily.
The young man scratched his head and whispered, "Yes, Captain Charles..."
Phew!
The moment the young man responded, time seemed to stop.
In his sight, Captain Charles, who was intact in the previous second, was pierced through the heart by a black and brown spike in the next second.
The culprit was a flat monster that crawled up from the city wall.
Hot blood sprayed on his face.
Captain Charles' pupils suddenly shrank and he was stunned for a moment.
Then, the old soldier showed the last glory of his life.
He roared, grabbed the spike on his chest desperately, and used his last bit of strength to fall towards the bottom of the city wall, preventing the monster's other spike from reaching the stunned recruit.
He used the weight of his body to carry the monster down.
Accompanied by a dull falling sound and the monster's scream...
…The war started unexpectedly!
The roars of monsters and the shouts of warriors filled the entire city wall, and blood began to replace the blood stains that had originally dried up...
At this time, the hope in the young man's heart had long disappeared, replaced by endless fear and tension.
Looking at the monsters and warriors around him, he felt deeply powerless.
It was not until a bloody mouth tore his arm and shoulder apart that the pain awakened his instinct for survival.
But now I realize it, it seems too late.
The monster's big mouth was already moving towards his head.
This time, there was no Captain Charles to block the monster's attack for him, and no other soldiers had time to remind him.
The battlefield is bloody and ruthless.
Endless fear and regret also filled the young man's eyes...
But, at this moment.
Buzz—
A dull yellow light replaced the dark, gloomy sky.
One after another, brilliant destructive force chained every monster on the battlefield.
Then, it suddenly collapsed.
Bang!
The blade missed the target and landed on the broken stones of the city wall with a crisp sound.
Everyone woke up as if from a dream and looked around.
The monsters that had attacked from the corners like a tide had now turned into flying ashes in the sky.
"How is this going?"
They looked at their surroundings in disbelief, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.
"That... that is..."
A soldier pointed tremblingly into the distance.
I saw a man in a black robe on a broken road in the distance, surrounded by a group of people, retracting his hand, and gradually retracting the dark yellow destructive light nearby...
…
Amid the shocked and puzzled eyes of the soldiers.
The people on the Green entered the Royal City of Ozurik, and, led by a member of the Shadow of Gods, came to the residential area below the royal city.
This man is called Zidong, and he is also the current leader of the Shadow of the Gods. From him, everyone on the Green also learned about the current situation of Ozurik.
"Lord Karen has already died in the great wave..."
He smiled bitterly.
When the big wave just arrived, in addition to the low-level monsters that continued to emerge in the ocean, there were some greater threats.
That is the powerful monster that emerged from the fog and wandered aimlessly.
They are of various shapes and no one knows where they come from.
The one who invaded the royal city was a headless giant bound by bronze chains.
It was like a ruthless and cold machine, moving fixedly along its own route, passing through the entire royal city, and its huge body destroyed almost everything along the way.
Although it did not attack anyone in the royal city, its advance opened up an invasion route for other monsters.
The entire royal city almost fell completely because of this.
In the end, it was Karen and a group of people who joined forces to save this last refuge.
In addition, Azo also fell in the subsequent war.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
No wonder they saw so many huge pits along the way, and even the giant buildings in the royal city showed signs of collapse.
I thought it was a trace of a battle, but it turned out to be just the footprints of a wandering giant...
As everyone moves forward.
They also saw the current appearance of the remaining inhabitants of the five seas.
They were silent, with numbness and despair in their eyes.
They were suffering, with no food to eat and no clothes to wear, and they had to be on guard against monsters invading from the dark.
Even the soldiers on patrol looked very thin, with scars and bloodstains on their armor.
In a heavy atmosphere, everyone passed by a square.
In the center of the square, there is a statue holding a sword. Many civilians with painful expressions kneel on the ground and pray to the statue for peace.
These people all have some horrifying or strange defects to a greater or lesser extent.
For example, pus-oozing black lumps, peeling flesh and skin, inexplicably swollen limbs...
Kneeling down to worship the statue seemed to make them feel better.
The lower half of this not-so-large statue was covered in black cracks that were almost spreading throughout the entire body.
This statue is of a young king holding a sword.
"Where's Cuddy?"
After a long silence, Mira asked this question.
She was asking both Zidong and Rogge.
Roger said nothing.
And Zidong said after a long silence: "Come with me."
…
Follow Zidong's lead.
The crowd soon arrived at a palace underground in the royal city.
However, calling it a palace is a bit of an exaggeration, because compared with ordinary palaces, this building is actually very simple.
Moreover, this palace looked as if no one had been here for a long time.
But the solemn and dignified faces of several tall soldiers in front of the palace were silently telling the importance of this place.
Zidong said nothing. He knelt silently towards the palace gate, bowed, and spoke in a low voice.
"My king..."
"Please open the door..."
"The fire of Ozurick has returned..."
"Your Captain and Friend... has returned..."
When he said this, Zidong was already in tears, his voice choked with sobs, and he was filled with grief.
His voice seemed to penetrate the heavy palace doors and received an answer.
Boom…
The heavy door slowly opened.
At the entrance of the gate, filthy blood with a hint of scarlet flowed out in the darkness.
There was no human voice in the palace, only the sound of dripping liquid.
Rogge said nothing, but walked slowly forward and entered the palace.
As he moved forward, the filthy blood began to dissipate.
One ball a day!
