Starfall At the end of 833, in Moldova, due to the strong wind from the extreme north, the thick black clouds in the sky gradually loosened under the sunlight, and the blizzard that lasted for a whole month finally stopped.
In the northwest of the territory, on Mount Modes, many adventurers walked out of their tents. They looked up at the sky. Thin golden threads pierced out from the gaps in the clouds one after another and fell to the ground, forming dots of white snow. Gold spots on the top.
The blizzard is over.
Such thoughts flashed through everyone's mind, so whether they were adventurers, scholars, mages or knights from the Moldovan Territory, they all turned their heads and looked at the simple mountain peak not far away.
At this time, at the foot of Mount Modesi, there were eight factions with more than fifteen golden experts gathered. Among them, the Moldova Lord's Mansion, the Guantian White Tower Mage Investigation Group, the Imperial Royal Ancient Relics Investigation Group and the Qiyao Parliament Investigation Group were all official forces. , the remaining ones are several large mercenary organizations and adventurer teams with golden powerhouses.
In order to determine the first inspection rights for the ancient ruins in Modesi Mountain, these eight forces have been restraining each other for a long time. If the snow had not completely blocked the entrance of the cave, and the stormy day was not suitable for excavation operations, maybe it would have been early There will be forces to sneak in and explore in advance.
But now, the blizzard has stopped, and the negotiations between the eight forces are coming to an end. Immediately, they will join forces to dig and explore the mysterious ancient ruins in Modesi Mountain.
Brandon Kaos and his wife Veldani Scarlet stood on the watchtower of the Scarlet family camp. The blond swordsman pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, his eyes full of Worried, and the purple-haired mage stroked the sapphire on the staff in his hand, also worried. The two looked at each other, and then stood on the edge of the watchtower hand in hand, watching the other forces gathering not far away.
At the foot of the mountain, vigorous figures came from afar and gathered under the banner of their own camp. Before long, the total number of the entire team exceeded a hundred people.
Eight forces, one hundred and twenty-nine people, including the two of them, a total of seventeen golden warriors. Such a huge force is enough to defeat an official legion head-on. If everyone lets go and fights, Then it is not difficult to turn Mount Modes and the surrounding black forest to the ground. If you are not careful, it will even pose a great threat to the towns in Moldova. .
Brandon understood that if he and Verdani hadn't both reached the peak of gold strength and relied on the power of the empire to make those powerful and undisciplined adventurers and mercenary teams wary, these forces would have long been fighting for exploration. A large-scale armed fight broke out, let alone the current situation, and preparations were made to join forces for excavation.
But it was not these little things that really worried them, and even made them frown to this day.
Plague cult.
According to ranger reconnaissance from all over the territory, Brandon and Verdani knew that there were at least two teams of elite cultists with golden powerhouses lurking in the Great Ajax Mountains during the recent period. Although there was a team of cultists They completely disappeared without a trace some time ago and seemed to have left Moldova. However, the remaining group of cultists also had considerable power. If they took advantage of the time when both of them left the main city and came to the vicinity of Modesi Mountain, , going to attack various cities and villages will undoubtedly cause great damage.
Just two teams of elite cultists exhausted the couple, let alone beings far more terrifying than these two teams of cultists.
Herras the Blighter. Just thinking of this name made Brandon sigh.
The strongest contemporary figure in the Plague Cult, the high priest who is only one step away from the legendary realm, is a figure from the swordsman’s father’s generation. Long before Brandon was born, he already had a terrifying power in the Western Mountains. Now that Herras has arrived in the North and is heading towards Mount Modes, compared to him, the more than a hundred dangerous people present plus two teams of elite cultists are nothing more than It is a meek lamb.
"Dear, do you have no news about Teacher Nostradamus and the others?"
On the side, Veldani, who looked tired, said in a soft voice: "The power of the North alone cannot stop a Jiyi-level cult priest."
"No news yet." Shaking his head heavily, the blond swordsman held his wife's hand tightly.
This is a lie.
Compared to his wife who has always been in the North, Brandon, as a noble of the imperial capital, must know more information. He had already contacted his family through magic text messages last night, but the news he got was very bad.
Nostradamus is now in the Void Star Station, which is a top-secret place outside the world that detects drifting objects from other worlds and other worlds. Even with Brandon's confidentiality level, he cannot know the news, but It is an undisputed fact that the old mage is now isolated from the world. Even if the personnel of the Supervisory Star Station notify Nostradamus, he will not be able to return to Mycroft Continent immediately.
The ruler of the empire, Israel, is not in the imperial capital now. In fact, not only the northern empire, but also most of the legendary powerful people have lost news in the past few days. It is rumored that Pope Eagle of the Church of the Seven Gods held a meeting in the Holy Mountain. Following the legendary discussion, all the legendary powerful men with names in the world were invited to discuss a major matter.
In addition, several other powerful people in the empire, such as the commanders of the major armies, also have their own important matters. Without exception, they are all in black forests or dangerous Jedi places, carrying out large-scale winter campaigns. Cleanup activities.
Even if the blond swordsman is as stupid as a pig, after getting so much information, he can guess that now is the time when the undercurrent is surging, and something big is about to happen. What's more, Brandon is not only not stupid, but his thinking is as fast as lightning. , through some information he had previously communicated with Nostradamus and Joshua, he had already vaguely understood what this major event was.
Therefore, he knew that when the plague cult attacked this time, reinforcements would definitely not arrive on time. All he could do was wait as long as possible to delay the attack. Thinking of this, Brandon's heart sank even more, but he could not tell the people around him, because even telling Verdani the bad news would not help, but would cause panic. The blond swordsman knew very well that his wife Her character is a stubborn person who would rather die than give up the people in her territory. If Herras really comes, she will never run away, but will fight to the death for the territory.
Thinking of this, Brandon raised his right hand that was holding the sword hilt tightly and stared at the palm lines on his palm.
He is already at his golden peak.
The blond swordsman was silent. No one in this world knew better than himself how close he was to his ultimate intention.
He has dabbled in all three of the ultimate meanings of skill, strength, and soul, but the one he is most familiar with is the ultimate meaning of skill. Brandon has been immersed in the golden realm for many years and often received guidance from legendary strong men. He naturally understands that as long as he is willing to sink his mind to communicate and understand, it only takes a few minutes for him to break through the wall of ultimate intention and reach this place. If there is such a realm of transcendence, then facing Herras, even if Brandon cannot defeat him, he can easily run away with others.
However, this foundation is not solid, and it is not a natural breakthrough, which will cause great obstacles for him to advance to legend in the future.
But... Brandon turned to look at his wife. Virginie Scarlet was rubbing her eyes tiredly. Although the purple-haired female mage has an ageless appearance due to her strength, she has worked hard in the past few months. But it also caused a trace of wrinkles in the corners of her eyes that could not be erased.
The blond swordsman held the female mage's hand tightly. He watched her tilt her head in confusion. When their eyes met, Brandon knew that he had nothing to hesitate.
At the most dangerous moment, he would break through without hesitation and escape with Verdani.
But just when Brandon made up his mind, suddenly, a dazzling red light lit up in the Great Ajax Mountains in the far northwest. This red light was like fire and the sun, carrying hot and boiling air currents to the sky. It rose up like an incomparable sword and pierced through the gloomy clouds in the North, reaching the end of the sky. In the next moment, a terrifying life radiation that made people feel hot and uneasy came from far away and swept across dozens of snow-capped mountains. Then it swept towards Modesi Mountain.
No one present reacted, except Brandon, who opened his eyes wide and watched as the familiar radiation of life swept across the foot of the mountain in an instant, and then extended further into the distance. The blond swordsman's eyes were full of shock.
"Jo...Joshua?!"
When did he come? !
Because of his familiarity with his friends, Brandon easily identified the master of this extremely domineering and disregarding life radiation, who was none other than the lord of Moldavia, Joshua Van Radcliffe. As for the purpose of the other party's coming here, with the blond swordsman's thinking speed, he only needed one hundredth of a second to think of the answer.
Herras the Blighter! Only this powerful man at the pinnacle of his will can induce his war-hungry friend to leave the territory and use such a huge search method to find traces!
Not only Brandon, but the other seven forces at the foot of the mountain were also in chaos because of this shocking life radiation. For a moment, everyone pulled out their weapons and guarded the surroundings nervously. I haven't yet identified the source of the radiation, so I thought there were some terrifying monsters peeking around.
At this time, in the black forest not far from Mount Modes, a team wearing gray and black robes also panicked.
When Randall, the plague cult priest, was swept away by the life radiation like the light of the blazing sun, he felt that his heart was merely pinched by an invisible hand. The extreme fear even made this high-level golden gray man The robed priest was temporarily speechless and suffocated. His lungs were beating, but he couldn't swallow any air.
After a while, he gradually regained his energy, and beside Randall, a large group of cultists behaved even worse. They looked around in panic and screamed some words that no one understood, as if this was the end of the world. It can make the owner of life radiation show his true form and make him feel more at ease.
"Quiet!"
Although Randall still had a trace of fear in his heart, he had to stabilize the team. He loudly rebuked the most flustered people among the cultists, and then calmed everyone down one by one. After all this was over, the gray-robed priest took a deep breath, and then said solemnly: "It might have been a special reconnaissance spell by the Moldova leader. We have been discovered by the forces at the foot of Modesi Mountain, and the latent plan has been cancelled." , turn to raid!”
At this point, his voice took on a hint of fanaticism: "Follow the wishes of the loving father and sacrifice the blood of the disrespectful ones!"
"My loving father! Use blood as a sacrifice!"
"The light of life protects us, and all things return to the loving Father's arms!"
Many cultists responded in unison, with fanatical expressions on their faces, and then tore off their clothes. The next moment, the bodies of these cultists began to rapidly deform and expand. In just a few seconds, each of them turned into a monster about three meters tall.
Poof. With a soft sound, the bodies of these swollen cultists split into dozens of small openings. Under the bright red flesh, arthropod tentacles that resembled spiders and giant crabs pierced out from them and pierced into the earth. The originally swollen bodies The body was completely shattered, revealing a colorful and strange carapace, with more than a dozen slippery and strange tentacles swinging everywhere, splattering extremely corrosive mucus.
Not long after, dozens of cultists all turned into giant deformed spider monsters about three meters high. Human heads were embedded in the spider monster's head and were firmly covered by a translucent carapace.
Plague cult, secret techniques of human transformation, and blasphemous spider demons. Human beings who have been transformed by this evil magic can, when necessary, become extremely powerful spider demons with invincible poisonous plagues. Its carapace is hard and can easily withstand sword attacks. Each spider demon can at last Both the weak and the weak have the strength of high-level silver level, and the strong ones can even rival the gold level in a short time. When placed on the battlefield, they are undoubtedly super meat grinders.
Only the most elite cultists have the opportunity to be transformed into plague monsters. After the transformation, their sanity will gradually dissipate. Only by restoring their bodies again can they regain their sanity. But even so, all the spider demons did not have any abnormality. , they stayed in place obediently, looking in front of them.
In front of many spider demons, Priest Randall also began to transform. With a cold snort, the gray-robed priest's body expanded rapidly, and two extremely hard-looking tentacles protruded from his eye sockets, and then condensed into large horns that reached the sky like a giant beetle.
The secret technique of human transformation, the giant armor of the abyss.
Sounds like bones cracking and steel rubbing against each other continued to sound. After a moment, a monster that was half human and half insect, covered with a solid chitin carapace and muscles that were about to explode, raised its head, and its mouthparts emitted something similar to The cacophony of insects chirping: "Ka-ka-ka!"
"Hiss! Hiss!"
The spider demons responded one after another, and the next moment, this group of terrifying monsters that seemed to come from the abyss of another world raised their arthropods and rushed towards the direction of Mount Modes.
The investigators at the foot of Modes Mountain also immediately discovered this group of monsters with no concept of concealment. The people who were extremely nervous because of the previous life radiation immediately found an outlet. They immediately made full preparations and faced them head-on. superior.
"It's those fanatical believers of the plague cult!"
Brandon and Verdani naturally noticed the monster in the distance. The purple-haired female mage frowned. She stood on the edge of the watchtower, used magic on the camp below, and amplified her voice: "Listen to the order! Prepare to meet the enemy. !”
But the blond swordsman was a little distracted. His eyes still stayed on the distant sky. Under his mental induction, Brandon could know that there was a red star that was like the sun and released endless life radiation dozens of miles away. Breaking through the atmosphere at a rapid speed, he flew towards the bank of the Maghe River.
And there, there was an extremely dark black vortex that seemed to be able to swallow everything and annihilate everything.
On the banks of the Maghe River.
The blizzard still hasn't dissipated here, and the suffocating dense snowflakes are falling from the sky as if being dumped by the gods, covering the surrounding forests and snowfields with layers of ice, snow and frost.
But the sky southwest of the river suddenly became clear. A red star broke through the atmosphere at more than ten times the speed of sound and came to the sky above this place. The ear-piercing screams were accompanied by rolling thunder and shock waves that spread in all directions, and were easily scattered. Clouds covered half of the sky.
At this moment, the sky was occupied by two such distinct parts. In one part, the scorching sun was as red as fire, and the two suns in the sky and the sky were releasing unbearably hot rays of light. The other part was silent, and all colors and sounds were absorbed by a certain existence. Swallowed, leaving only a cold, empty, dead silence.
In mid-air, a man with black hair and red eyes looked down at the earth.
On the ground, the man with dark green hair looked up at the sky.
4600 words, first of all, please ask for monthly votes and recommendation votes at the beginning of the month! Subscriptions have been sluggish recently, and I feel like life is worse than death.
Then I recommend a book by my friend, "The Bankrupt Demon King's War". The author of this book is a professional maid lover, and he has been writing about maids in other worlds. If you are interested in maids, you can check it out. . I think the plot progression of his last book was good and the pace was better than mine (not to mention the ending).
Will modify it later
