Lavinia? Juniper? Kant, Hao Ren is no stranger to this name now, she is Earl Willie's younger sister. During the journey in the barren wilderness, the female knight with freckles on her face took the initiative to contact him. Ancient Guardian", at that time she showed enthusiasm like an admirer who had great admiration for the Sanctuary people. Her performance was so special that it left a deep impression on Hao Ren.
Earl Willie has been proven to be an annihilation believer lurking in the kingdom of order. The Kant family behind him may not be able to escape the crime from top to bottom, so as his younger sister, Lavinia is naturally not immune to suspicion.
So after the incident at the Kant Manor, the "Guardian Knight" lady was immediately controlled by Rudolph III's inner court knights, but His Majesty the King obviously underestimated the scale of this operation to annihilate the believers, and also underestimated Lavigne Ya's position in the entire secret order, the latter was rescued by a large number of cultists on the way to a secret prison outside the city, not only that, she also went back and attacked herself when the Kingdom Knights did not react The flag-bearer who had guarded for many years took away the "Ancient Sacred Artifact" from the opponent.
Hao Ren wasn't too surprised when he heard the news. It could even be said that part of this incident was part of his plan. After knowing Earl Willie's identity, he immediately suspected the Lavinia who had taken the initiative to get close to him, and after Earl Willie escaped, he had expected Lavinia's escape. After Rudolf III finished speaking, he just nodded: "I wanted to ask before, it seems that you already knew that Earl Willie and his Kant family were members of the Oblivion Order?"
"The Annihilation Cultists are infiltrating the kingdoms of order, but we are not helpless against them," Rudolf III said lightly, "We can grasp some clues about the cultists hidden in the kingdom, but some of them drill It is too deep, and has even penetrated into the foundation of the kingdom. To eliminate these people requires long-term preparation and the right timing, and more importantly, they must not be noticed before they do it, otherwise all success will fall short. I I targeted the Kant family a few years ago, and it was only today that I completed all the preparations and wiped them all out—it’s a pity that I didn’t expect the tide of chaos after all, nor did I expect the subversion of the Annihilation Order. After all, there are many regrets.”
Arnia looked at Hao Ren's reaction curiously: "Master Guardian, it seems that you don't care about the stolen ancient sacred artifact?"
"It's better to say that it's just according to my wish that they snatched that thing away. This proves that I guessed something right," Hao Ren chuckled, "After they fooled me, they just made up nonsense and slandered others. I asked me about the two artifacts in the Kasuan Temple, and I knew that these two artifacts must be of great significance to them-I didn't know they were cultists at the time, but their motives for finding the artifacts can still be guessed. .”
The old bachelor Alfred became interested after hearing this: "The two artifacts in the Casuan Temple? What are they?"
"One is called the 'Bright Disc' by them, and the other is called the 'Heart of the Sky'," Hao Ren gave a general description of the situation at the time, "...that's it, they seem to attach great importance to these two things, even at the expense of Taking the risk of being discovered by me in advance, I took the initiative to raise this matter."
Veronica seemed to finally come to her senses: "The one that Lavinia took away..."
Hao Ren shrugged: "Hehe, if they are going to use the 'Bright Disc' to hold some ceremony, then they will have a lot of fun."
The atmosphere in the room became strange for a while, several people looked at each other, the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely subtle, the dignifiedness of the previous moment seemed to remain in everyone's hearts, but now they couldn't help being a little ironic.
Arnia looked at Hao Ren with a smile on his face, "Guardian, you... really don't fit your status."
Hao Ren chuckled, "This is wisdom!"
When the atmosphere in the White City was tense due to the incident of the heretics, and Rudolph III's secret room was discussing the topic of the fate of the world (at least most of the topics were like this), a huge army had gradually arrived in the southern part of the kingdom. the boundaries of civilization.
Accompanied by a flutter of wings, a group of twilight night sparrows were disturbed from the twisted canopy of the black forest. After shaking off a large number of feathers and leaves in the air, they quickly flew to the cloudy sky, and under the canopy Among the dense bushes, a pair of small round eyes shining with orange light blinked twice. The owner of these eyes vigilantly watched the movement outside the forest. After confirming that there was no danger, a slender figure with a full body Scaled, erect lizard-like creatures emerged from behind the bushes. This lizardman wore a simple armor made of animal skin and some kind of carapace, and held a sharp obsidian spear in his hand. The dark red pattern on its forehead showed that it was a head from the depths of the southern forest. Lizardman tribal warrior, and the obsidian spear in its hand shows that this lizardman warrior is a warrior in the tribe.
Accompanied by the slight sound of rustling, the nearby bushes also shook, and then more lizardman warriors came out from behind the bushes, eventually as many as ten.
This is like a scout force, but if an experienced human commander sees this scene, he probably won't believe it: the lizardmen in the black forest are just inferior creatures without discipline in the eyes of humans, with inferior intelligence and civilization Level is their biggest label. These lizardmen tribes hide in the depths of the forest, not to mention scouting the borders of the human kingdom. Usually, they don't even dare to approach the human cavalry patrolling in the forest.
But now there are ten lizardmen appearing on the border of the kingdom, and they look like scouts who came out to investigate the situation. This scene is really unimaginable.
"Human...cities...smell of smoke."
The first lizard man to stand up spoke in a low voice, with a hissing breath in his voice, and its nostrils opened and closed in the air, carefully sensing the smell and temperature changes from afar.
The second lizard man who stood up stretched his neck, and the dark blue folds below the neck flowed with magic light, and the weapon in his hand was not an obsidian spear, but a stick made of animal bones. This is a lizardman shaman. His superficial and almost instinctive magic skills are childish and ridiculous in the eyes of human mages, but they are commendable among the lizardmen.
The lizard man shaman concentrated his energy and released an eagle eye spell for himself. It carefully observed the human territory on the other side of the forest, and made a hissing sound in its throat: "There are smoke columns rising from behind the city wall, the city wall... fell Come down, the city of mankind has been breached."
The other lizardmen soldiers discussed one after another:
"Probably many days ago."
"The plume of smoke is still rising, it shouldn't be too long, probably two or three days ago."
"Humans have probably run away, and they ran to the city further north."
"But maybe there are still humans left on horseback. Those humans are fierce and not afraid of monsters."
"Those humans also ran away. They need to be near the city to move around, but now their city is gone."
"Shall we explore the road further?"
"No, the wolf only asked us to scout at the edge of the forest," the lizardman shaman interrupted the conversation of the soldiers, "and the new leader said that the amulet might fail if it is too far away."
The other lizardmen immediately fell silent when they heard the shaman's words, and looked at the amulet hanging under the shaman's neck in awe.
It was a rough handicraft, composed of a strong leather rope, two colorful stone beads, a feather and a handful of wolf fur, but the only thing that really worked was the snow-white wolf fur, which came from The fluff on the tail of the head wolf.
The wolf fur glowed slightly in the dark, the light was very soft, but it was enough to expel the surrounding forces of chaos. It was under the protection of this powerful "magic item" that the lizardmen soldiers could survive the chaos, Move freely in the severely twisted black forest.
The lizard people's knowledge of magic is quite rough. In their eyes, the amulet worn by the shaman is already a very powerful magic item. If their civilization level is higher, they might regard this amulet as a divine weapon and give it a try. Write it into your own myths and legends.
The Chaos Storm that landed from the southern part of the Ansu Continent has overtaken the migratory army led by the Chief Wolf, turning the entire southern forest into a twisted and corrupted Black Forest. Sixty percent of the creatures in the forest have died or been transformed into the minions of Chaos. Most of them buried themselves deep in the ground, waiting tremblingly for the end of the tide of chaos, and more than 70% of these buried refugees would die soon, and the lucky ones who could truly survive the tide of chaos were very few. few.
At the vanguard of the chaotic storm, the human city was exposed to its baptism a few days ago, and it seems that the strong human city did not last for too long.
Seeing this scene, the lizardman shaman felt a kind of heartfelt gratitude in addition to deep fear.
Faced with the coercion of the wolf head, the lizardman tribe chose to surrender decisively and became members of the huge army of monsters under the wolf head. Facts have proved that this is an absolutely wise move: they have survived until today.
"Go back and report to the wolf," the lizard man shaman rolled his yellow eyes, turned and walked towards the forest, "the human city is finished." (To be continued~^~)
