There is a saying that heroes come out of troubled times, and mediocrities come out of prosperous times. Hill was very interested in some special historical periods in the past, such as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as the Three Kingdoms. At that time, many heroes emerged, and the group of heroes was brilliant, which together constituted that moving period.
But rather than saying that, it’s better to say that heroes are easily buried in peaceful times, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, a penny can’t beat a hero, endless trifles are pressing on them, making the blood in their chests full of impurities, more and more impurities, The blood is hard to roll, and a lifetime has passed like this.
People with heroic qualities exist in every period, but they have no chance to express and exercise. In troubled times, wars, and the cruel experience of facing people's hearts, these people quickly discovered their true selves and grew up through the mountains of corpses and blood, and eventually became warriors and heroes.
Not long after time travelling, looking at the appearance of human beings, looking at the church, and seeing people of insight like Monroe not being so buried, Hill was actually a little disappointed. From the hero's point of view, this era doesn't seem to have much meaning. Of course, this is just talk. From the standpoint of the devil, Hill wished that all human beings were mediocre, so that he could unify the great cause and command the world.
But gradually, the times are changing.
In this war, it is different from the last war where everyone ignorantly shouted "for mankind" and rushed forward under the leadership of the church, but some people sacrificed to go to the angels. In this war, many people know that they are fighting Why are they fighting, so many people have shown their heads.
For example, in the immersive theater of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Carl Richard, who made the NPC speechless, led the remnant army and joined other defenders to block three Dijon attacks. Oh, by the way, he is also the sequel writer of "Iron Man's Game of Thrones", which Hill only found out later; and the eldest son Jefferson Jackson, who has been sprayed by the old Jackson, and Master Cecil who sleeps at night with the siren princess as a pillow... When the war came, they put down their canes and quills one after another, drew out their swords and went to the battlefield.
Later, Carl Richard talked about this war in "Devil Magazine". He said that the first thing he recalled during the war was not what his father and teacher had always taught, but what he saw in novels and movies. Father They taught too much, they said to fight for honor, they said to face the enemy bravely, but how to face it, how to protect the glory, these questions made him at a loss. Therefore, when faced with some choices, he would first think about what he would do if it was Tony Stark. He used this kind of thinking to analyze the entire battlefield, and then used what his father taught, combined with reality, to finally make a judgment Come. "I'm so glad I did," Carl said at the end of the magazine.
He is not alone in such cases.
"I have been involved in many wars. I used to shout and say 'for mankind' and then do something, but looking back now, I feel that my thoughts back then were really hollow.
In this war, I clearly know what I want to protect. I remember Tony Stark's words, this world may not be so beautiful, but it is still worth fighting for, because there is only one world. I remember the touching feelings of Siren Princess, and I also remember the beautiful and tear-jerking moments in "Violet Evergarden", I also remember Natsume's gentle smile, and I still remember the feeling of the wind blowing across the green grass. I am not willing to lose them. I know that if we lose, our minds will be shackled again, and the church will continue to manipulate our minds as in the past. I suddenly realized that this war, I am not for the family, or even I'm not fighting for my country, I'm fighting for my own rights. This makes me more motivated, maybe I am a selfish person at heart. hehe. But it's the first time I've fought for myself, and it feels good. "
"After the war started, my mind was full of the conspiracy in "A Song of Ice and Fire". When I didn't make a decision, I always wondered if the other party had a conspiracy, what was the other party's purpose, and whether I could use conspiracy to solve the problem. Against the opponent, guess what, I almost didn’t make a single mistake in this war, and I managed to kill a lot of enemies! Oh, I love "A Song of Ice and Fire", I implore the "Devil Magazine" Serialize more stories like this!"
Seeing these people prop up a piece of sky alone, and they all have shadows influenced by him, Hill thinks it is still very strange. Looking at the things he transported from the earth can bring them many benefits, can inspire their spirits, liberate their minds, and even change their lives in a sense, allowing them to develop in a more positive direction, Hilton Feel a sense of accomplishment.
Countless seeds that have been sown have not only sprouted, but also bloomed.
From a chaotic era ruled by the church to the present. Everyone gradually has their own dreams.
In the dark sky, the stars gradually released their light.
This era also has dreams.

Back to this war.
When Kitz White surrounded the palace of Winter City with the army, the role of Ice Emperor Claude's own reputation emerged.
Some of the peripheral soldiers of the White family secretly stood by the Ice Emperor, many people in Winter City also ventured to support the Ice Emperor, and some folk magicians also took the initiative to stand on the Ice Emperor's side. Prestige, which is somewhat illusory, seems to only increase self-satisfaction on weekdays, but it plays a very critical role in this critical moment. Together with the guards of the palace, they made the Ice Emperor survive the attack of the White Army for a whole day.
At night, the reinforcements of the Magnolia Empire led by Jefferson Jackson arrived at Winter City, attacking from inside and outside, and the White Army still fought to the death. Old White, who had been accompanying Bingdi in the palace, sighed and said, "Your Majesty, let me persuade you to surrender."
Ice Empress Claude just looked at Old White without saying a word.
Old White saluted, turned and left, the guard at the door stopped him, and the Ice Empress waved his hand, letting Old White go.
About an hour later, Old White succeeded in persuading him to surrender, and personally killed Kitz White, his eldest son, in front of the Ice Emperor. Since the rebellion of the White family, the old White has been on the side of the Ice Emperor, and now he has succeeded in persuading him to surrender, avoiding many unnecessary sacrifices, coupled with the killing of his son, this seems to have demonstrated his loyalty.
But the Ice Emperor finally just sighed: "I trust you so much, Old White."
Old White knelt beside his son's body, tears finally streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, the White family has failed your trust."
"It's you who failed me, not the White family." The Ice Emperor sat on the throne and watched Old White. "Do you think I'm so easily deceived?"
Old White spoke the truth with trembling lips.
He had wanted to rebel against the Ice Emperor for a long time, and the church had approached him a few years ago, which was part of the Pope's plan to completely control Mulheim. But I didn't expect Hill to get in, and the Pope moved out this chess piece now. It was Old White who wanted to rebel against the Ice Emperor. In fact, Kitz White, the eldest son of Old White, didn't want to rebel at the time. He felt that his father had violated the glory of the White family, but what his father said was also reasonable. It has always been like this, and it seems that it is time to get some things that should belong to them.
Despite the church's backing, old White was still worried that something would happen, so he made a plan to make his son the leader of the rebellion and stand on the ice emperor's side. If the rebellion succeeds, then the old White who is on the side of the ice emperor will choose to sacrifice himself; if the rebellion fails, then Kitz will sacrifice. In this way, no matter whether it is successful or not, the blood of the White family can always be passed on, and it seems that they have made great contributions.
Because the old White believed that the probability of success in the rebellion was relatively high, he chose to let his son take a safer path, and he was ready to sacrifice himself. He didn't expect that the Ice Emperor would have such great prestige among the people, and those people who had no strength at all would be willing to take up arms for the Ice Emperor and use their flesh and blood to stand in front of the palace of Winter City, and the reinforcements from the Yulan Empire It came too fast...
Mozu. Old White repeated the word in his mind. Everyone's eyes were blank.
He remembered how moved he was when he watched "Eternal Garden of Violet", but that feeling was nothing compared to the glory and benefits at his fingertips. He thought so then.
But now he knelt beside his son's corpse, looking at the cold but tired eyes of the Bingdi, but his heart was at a loss.
"Half a month before the wedding, I ran into Keiz when I was traveling with the queen, and he blessed us very excitedly. He said that he also wanted to hold a wedding at the Devil's Playground, and then he stuck out his tongue and said he was not Transcendence means that the idea of the Devil's Playground is really great. He also said that he will protect my future son just like you protect me, and let's see this increasingly beautiful world together." Ice Emperor Crow De said slowly.
Old White suddenly pulled out the sword from Kitz's body and stabbed himself in the throat.
A spell bounced his sword away, and the figure of a dark elf emerged from behind the Ice Emperor.
Bingdi sighed in disappointment: "It's still useful for you to keep it, go blame yourself and be upset. I need your testimony to deal with the church."
Old White just nodded numbly as if he had suddenly aged ten years.
03.
Mülheim Front.
Mülheim's army was stationed in the canyon, and the Dijon people were ready to attack that day. It was expected that it would be a bitter battle, so Mülheim's main force also arrived near the mouth of the canyon.
At this moment, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and there was a rumbling sound above the head. The soldiers raised their heads in horror and saw the mountains on both sides of the canyon collapsed. When many people showed desperate expressions, Monroe made a move. The cassock of the Dark Pope fluttered in the wind, and the translucent magic barrier supported by the scepter directly blocked the collapsed mountain. Such terrifying power makes people dizzy even more. Under such circumstances, Monroe uttered a voice, and the voice sounded like thunder in the air: "Attack, warriors, I promise, this is a war belonging to humans, and God has nothing to do."
Hill didn't come forward, he stood in the corner and used magic to resist this man-made natural disaster together with Monroe.
University scholar Lan Nong took this opportunity to draw out his sword and shouted loudly: "Rush out now! Long live Milheim! Long live the Ice Emperor!"
"Long live Milheim! Long live the Ice Emperor!"
This was the first time that Mülheim's army took the initiative to attack. Although it seemed abrupt, it had been suppressed for too long.
They were beaten and retreated from the very beginning, and they kept retreating. Of course, they had resentment in their hearts. They are not weak Yulan people, they are soldiers of the Ice Empire! They are resolute and tough Mülheimers! University scholar Lan Nong grasped this point. In fact, he had waited too long for this scene.
Then Milheim directly used the magic weapon, exposing all the hole cards.
When the enemy suddenly exposes all the hole cards to you, there are generally two situations, one is that he is stupid, and the other is that he is going to keep you here forever.
Obviously now, Mülheim is the second case.
The Dijon people obviously didn't expect that the Mülheim army would rush out so directly, but they would certainly not back down as long as there was a battle. These shirtless prairie men had a desire to kill in their eyes, but it was a pity that it was about to happen The fighting does not satisfy them.
First, there are ghost-faced birds circling in the air. Two Muelheim soldiers are sitting on each ghost-faced bird. They threw the magic crystal bomb directly at the Dijon people from the air, and the continuous explosion sounded into one piece, rolling like thunder. . After the ten-minute explosion, the will of the Dijon people who survived was a little shaken, and then they were greeted by the magic crystal cannon. The magic crystal cannon designed by Hill so that the black dwarf is different from the cannon in the traditional sense. The magic crystal cannon is fired from the front, similar to a very thick laser, which directly smashes all the enemies along the way.
Today is a nightmare for the people of Dijon.
Today is a nightmare for the Church of Illuminati.
After the first round of the Magic Crystal Cannon's attack, Hill and Monroe finally worked together to deal with the landslide. At the same time, Hill also had an estimate of the upper limit of individual power in this world. Sure enough, the boss casually waved a mountain, collapsed half a continent, and destroyed a planet. Western orthodox Western Fantasy is relatively low-magic, and top bosses can also be overthrown by giant dragons.
Hill came out of the gorge, and the remaining Dijonians had already collided directly with Mülheim's army. Beast-like ferocity hit the majestic shield wall, and the continuous sound of dull collisions seemed to come from ancient times, directly penetrated into people's brains, entered people's psychology, and aroused people's boring bloodthirsty desire .
Hill walked up to Grand Maester Lennon, the wind blew the fluff on his cloak, he looked at the scene in front of him with calm eyes.
Grand Maester Lennon looked at him in awe, he didn't speak, but Hill understood what he wanted to say from his gaze: Is this the power of the Demon King? Seemingly casually preventing an army from being wiped out, and directly breaking the opponent's carefully arranged game with force, is this the power of the devil king
"No." Hill smiled softly. Although the other party didn't ask, he took the initiative to answer. He pointed to the sky and said, "This is the power of the devil."
As soon as the words fell, the Mullheim army shouted at the same time, the shield wall was withdrawn, and they began to charge, kill the enemy, the sound of swords and swords intersecting, the shout of "for Muhlheim", the sharp hiss of the magic mirror weapon, all kinds of The sound of war was overwhelming, rushing towards the grand maester, Lennon couldn't help taking a step back.
The clouds in the sky are unpredictable, and the ghost-faced bird howls.
The power of the Demon King has enveloped half of the continent and affected the people of half of the continent.
Compared with the mere ability to stop an avalanche, this is the real power of the Demon King.
Today is a nightmare for the people of Dijon.
Today is a nightmare for the Church of Illuminati.
Hill's cloak was blown away by the wind, and the clouds in the sky were also rolled up.
His smile quickly hardened.
No, it's not appropriate to say this sentence, to be precise—
Today is the beginning of the nightmare of the Illuminati Church.
The sky was darkened.
