The waves of consciousness gradually dissipated, and Hykezord opened his eyes.
What catches its eye is a ring-shaped hall with a calm sea of fog below and no end at the top. Nine seats of different sizes are suspended in mid-air, forming a circle along the vertical stone wall. In the center of the circle stood a huge tower of birth, but unlike the real tower, it was covered with one-eyed eyes, each of which was the size of a primordial body.
This is the realm created by the king.
"Rule of the Holy See".
Although it is not the first time it has entered this place, the body still subconsciously feels repression and unease—different from simple spiritual communication, this virtual space opened up in the turbulent flow of consciousness is not a real "illusion". If it falls into a sea of fog or is attacked, it will also suffer substantial damage, instead of waking up like a dream.
Unlike the chaos and disorder outside, there is order and strict rules here.
The king holds everything in the Holy See.
This also means that as long as it enters the Holy See, its life and death are in the hands of the king.
But its loyalty to the king should be absolute, and instinctual resistance will not arouse disgust - only low-level beasts cannot restrain their instincts.
"Thanks to your call, the Lord of the Sky greets you." Hykezord bowed his head to the tower in the center of the hall.
One eye opened and glanced at it, then quickly closed, "Wait with peace of mind."
"Yes."
After a while, several figures appeared in other seats.
They look a little blurry, but Hykezord can still identify the other party's identity from its characteristics, such as the "Bloody Conqueror" with various blades on the armor, the shape of a hill, and the clothes and masks are all full of The distorted "heart of hatred"... how real it can be expressed depends on how well it understands the source of magic power, and there are only a handful of people who can fully display itself like it.
When a figure appeared on the last chair, it represented that the nine monarchs had gathered in the Holy See.
The embodiment of the king, the Tower of Birth rising from the sea of fog, also slowly opened half of its eyes.
"The reason why I called you, you must all know - not only me, everyone should have the same question. A few days ago, a promotion person touched the world of consciousness and caused a ripple there, but soon it There was no response." It paused and looked at the lord of the sky, "and the owner of the ripples is called Ersk, who happens to be the commander-in-chief of the Western Front Pioneer Force - Hykezord, what happened in the west?"
Sure enough, the king came for this question. Hykezord suddenly felt the pressure on his body increased sharply, and being able to set off fluctuations in the world of consciousness means that someone has crossed the extraordinary threshold, and this breakthrough will be felt by all the monarchs. Now that the battle with Tianhaijie is becoming more and more fierce, one more monarch can bring greater advantages to the ethnic group, but the next turning point caught people off guard. The ascendant only left a mark, and then disappeared. Vanished without a trace - The Maharaja fell as soon as he was promoted, the first time in hundreds of years.
In fact, Hykezord received the news of the defeat from the Western Front shortly after sensing the opponent's breakthrough, and there was also a self-reported letter from Ersk. The content of the letter made it want to smash the head of this outstanding subordinate for a while to see what went wrong with this guy, and he would act recklessly to this extent!
When Wang opened his mouth to ask, it instinctively wanted to hide the outcome of the war on the Western Front, but Loyalty finally let it tell the truth.
As expected by the master of the sky, there was a burst of doubt, surprise and sarcasm in the hall.
"Ha, did I hear it right?" The Bloody Monarch took the lead in sneering, "Your subordinates kept all their troops in the Fertile Plains even though they knew they were lost, and ended up burying them all in the hands of those bugs? I Remember what you called it earlier—genius general?"
Hykezord is not surprised by this. As the main general who confronted Tianhaijie head-on, the other party has always been quite disdainful of the praise Ershuk received. If the latter is promoted to Maharaja, I am afraid that it will be the one who will bear the brunt of the impact. Now that he has the opportunity to attack Ersk, it will naturally not let it go.
"The primordial body and the tombstone don't matter. I don't think the Lord of the Sky will not know the preciousness of horns." "Masque", who was in charge of cultivating the symbiote, said strangely, "If you can win Taquila and Falling Star, The three cities of Anrietta are nothing more than that, the divine stone veins there can supplement our existing consumption, but there is not enough ore source, and the horns are lost one less."
"Losing to those bugs is unbelievable, and I think your Excellency should be more or less responsible."
"What a genius general, I see nothing more than that."
"Ordinary ascendants can't open the gate of the two realms, otherwise there will be more than nine people sitting here, not to mention that the enemy has also appeared above the extraordinary..."
"Why, it's not four hundred years ago, do you think it's a very honorable thing to perish with the transcendent?"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Hykezord's face sank, even if it didn't understand Ersruk's approach, but that was also its former subordinate. To belittle a beloved general whom it trusts so much is undoubtedly tantamount to attacking it in disguise—this is by no means something that a maharaja can easily tolerate.
At this moment, Wang interrupted everyone's conversation. Instead of telling them to shut up, he directly silenced their voices, "Enough, I just want to know if this has any effect on your plan!"
Hykezord quickly gathered his spirits, "Of course not, in the plan, I made a lot of preparations. Taquila can win the best, and if it can't win it will not hinder the overall situation. Please rest assured, Wang, we will set foot on schedule as scheduled. human land."
"It's better to be like you said." Wang's tone finally softened a little.
"It's just..." The Lord of the Sky hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the letter that Ersruk wrote to it in advance—perhaps it was the trust accumulated in it over hundreds of years, or its warning was too much It was so frightening that it stuck in his throat, no matter what the reason was, Hykezord felt that there was always a voice in his heart reminding him to speak, "It's just that this plan needs to be adjusted in terms of troops. According to the commander of the Western Front, at least ten times more troops are needed. Above, we can secure the victory.”
"Ten times?" Bloody roared, "What are you kidding me! The front lines of Tianhai are overwhelmed, and you still want to draw people from me? I won't give you a penny!"
"Ersruk - what did it say?" Wang Chen Sheng asked.
"At the time of writing this letter, the decisive battle between the Vanguard and the Humans has not yet begun. It says that it insists on staying in Taquila because it has discovered a crucial weakness in its opponent. If this is successful, it will greatly weaken the The strength of the opponent. At that time, the army will be increased tenfold, and if it is led by it, it will be able to destroy the human race."
"Is this a prophecy?" someone sneered, "I wonder if it foretold its own death?"
"..." Hykezord was silent for a moment before nodding, "It was mentioned in the letter."
The hall suddenly fell silent.
The monarchs looked at each other, and the atmosphere seemed a little strange for a while.
Wang broke the silence and said, "What did it say?"
The Lord of the Sky exhaled, "If it fails to come back, then human beings should be regarded as opponents of the same level as ours, and they should be destroyed with all their strength!"
