This guy... can actually speak human words!
When the earl was lifted up by his guards, he only felt that his face was hot and his face was rather ugly. He planned to show his prestige in front of his hands, and at the same time, he also established confidence in other nobles, but he was scared to the ground by a roar. What can't be hanged is that the other party is only one person.
Damn, I'm going to kill this bastard!
Marvin raised his hand with gritted teeth, and when he was about to give the order to shoot, the old bachelor suddenly grabbed him, blinked hard, and spit out the word "calm".
The count was stunned for a moment, then reacted. Indeed, since the other party can speak, there is a possibility of communication. If you can communicate, it means transaction and negotiation. Now that the situation is still unclear, there is really no need to act first. As expected, he was still influenced by the people of Graycastle, and he preconceived that the other party was an inexorable enemy.
Come to think of it, devil or not, coming alone may represent an attitude in itself, like a human ambassador.
Otherwise, why did it not move for a long time, but deliberately chose a place where it could look at the city wall and stood still
If the other party was really as cruel and ferocious as Greycastle said, they should have been wanton plundering long ago—the surrounding villages and towns were not protected by ice abyss cracks and city walls.
The more Ma Weien thought about it, the more reasonable he felt. In case he killed the messenger, he would fight against the so-called "devil" first, wouldn't it be exactly what the people of Greycastle wanted
However, just now I swore that the other party would kneel down and obey me, but now I have to communicate with the other party on an equal footing. It was really difficult for the count to be pulled down for a while.
Fortunately, the old scholar saw his hesitation and took the initiative to take a step forward and said, "What a rude person! Since you understand human language, you should first reveal your identity and purpose! Fortunately, Your Excellency is kind and willing to give you a chance to start over. "What do you mean when you come here?"
Well done, Ma Weien praised inwardly, as expected of a steward dug from the capital, the salary of ten golden dragons was not given in vain.
"Before that, I want to ask you one thing first," the devil's voice returned to normal, "What is your relationship with the humans... on the Fertile Plains?"
Fertile plains? where is that? A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, their faces are inexplicable.
However, this remark also gave Marvin the bottom line - this monster is indeed a messenger.
"I don't know which place you mean by the fertile plains," the old scholar said again. "It's like the same piece of land, the people in the north call the south and those in the south call the north. This is the case in a kingdom, not to mention you and me. I can only give you an accurate answer if I bring a map."
"No, that's the name you humans gave, I just used it." The other party shook his head slightly, "So that's what happened... You are still the same as hundreds of years ago. That's why I'm so sluggish. I'm still expecting you to be at a loss and terrified, shouting that this is impossible, and at the same time doing nothing about the arrival of "destiny". "
What does this mean? The words are just like acting... The Count couldn't help frowning, and for a moment, he seemed to catch a hint of disappointment in the other's strange face.
"Could it be... You mean the people of Greycastle?" the chief knight suddenly asked.
"Huh?" The devil looked at him.
"They have been saying that when the red moon comes, the devil will appear from hell. Now they are indeed frightened and fled, and they have long run away without a trace." The knight disdainfully said, "Of course, if your footsteps If you're quick enough, you might be able to meet them at the eastern harbour."
"Really?" It looked east, then back. "I will, but not now. Since you don't know anything about the Fertile Plains, I'll keep it short."
"I am the lord of the sky, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front Army. Thousands of years ago, you and I signed a shelter contract to jointly fight against witches and their retinues. Fighting, the reward you get is the power and wealth in control of human territory. This contract has no time to end, and it will not end until death - and you, as the inheritors of human beings, should continue to serve our clan." The voice of the devil once again It became extremely loud, as if the whole city could hear its voice, "Now, I ask you to dedicate this city in accordance with the contract, and serve me immediately!"
I'm afraid this guy is not crazy... Earl Marvin was stunned, what a thousand-year contract, a contract of one or two years can be denied, who cares about what happened thousands of years ago. Even the commander-in-chief of the Western Front Army, which lord did not send messengers to talk first, and went to his city alone to talk nonsense, there must be a limit to nonsense!
"What if I don't agree?" This remark was so rude that he couldn't bear it.
"Death will make you submit." The devil who claimed to be the master of the sky raised his head, "Look, that is fate."
The Count raised his head and saw that the mountains in the distance had been covered with mist at some point in time. It is not uncommon for fog to appear on the Extremis Mountains, but the fog is as red as blood, terrifyingly red. He didn't know whether it was an illusion illuminated by the red moon, or whether the fog itself was colored.
Another strange thing is that the red mist that crossed the cliff did not float in mid-air, but slowly trickled down from between the mountain peaks, forming a hazy "waterfall".
Could it be that it has been inactive before, just to wait for this opportunity
Ma Weien felt a little uneasy, looking at the nervous and whispering subordinates, he knew that if he didn't do anything, his heart would be unstable.
"It's just you?" The earl gritted his teeth and waved his hand sharply, "I've already given you a chance, let go of the arrow!"
The knight and the guard were stunned for a few breaths before suddenly coming back to their senses. They pressed the trigger and crowbar one after another, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows of different sizes rose into the air with a buzzing sound and shot straight at the devil—
But all the arrows came to nothing.
Everyone could hardly believe what was happening in front of them, only to see it pass through a black hole and disappear above the stone pillar out of thin air.
"Damn, that's the effect of magic," the chief knight said solemnly, "they are no different from witches!"
"Don't be afraid, we are all wearing the Stone of God's Punishment, and the magic power can't hurt us!" Marvin clenched the pendant on his chest, "Find it and kill it!"
"The devil, the devil is there!" shouted one of the guards.
In a short period of time, it had crossed the barrier formed by the ice abyss and the city wall, and quietly appeared in the long street behind the wall.
To be able to cross the natural danger in one step, the earl suddenly sounded the alarm, such a dangerous monster, whether it is a messenger or not, it must die here - after all, there is only one person on the other side. "Prepare the arrow of the divine stone and treat it as a witch! Whoever kills it will reward a hundred dragons!"
Just as knights and guards rushed towards it from all directions, the devil slowly raised his arms—
The next moment, a "black screen" with a width of dozens of feet emerged from behind it, cutting off the street and the houses on both sides. At first glance, it seemed as if a wall without thickness suddenly appeared on the street.
What is it trying to do? The Earl couldn't help but be a little puzzled. It was neither like an attack nor a defense. Could it be that it was planning to use this ability to hide itself
But soon he got the answer.
A thick red mist spewed out from the shady curtain, like a broken river bank! Immediately afterwards, a group of unprecedented monsters roared and rushed out of the black screen, and slammed into the surrounding knights fiercely. The divine stone did not cause any impact. Seeing is not alive.
But this is far from the end, but the beginning of a nightmare.
There are monsters constantly appearing in the shady scene, as if they will never stop. They bow their heads to the Lord of the Vault of Heaven, and then join the fight. No matter in size or strength, these monsters are far above ordinary people. He rushed to the city head with overwhelming strength. The melee turned into a massacre, one by one the broken-hearted guards were torn to shreds, blood and stumps scattered everywhere.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the city was full of screams and calls for help. Those who were still alive fled to the outside of the city in a panic, but could not cross the bottomless ice abyss.
Marvin only felt his legs weaken, and he swayed twice and fell to the ground, but this time no one came to help him.
The personal guard had been torn in half by the enemy who had been killed in front of him.
Snow Shadow Castle, which he was proud of, the domain he inherited from his grandfather's grandfather, fell in just one encounter.
The red fog filled with the smell of blood covered the sky, turning the place into a living hell.
Through the fog, the red moon in the sky looked more ferocious and terrifying.
It turned out that this was the scene of the end, the count finally thought.
