Age of Mysticism Chapter 481

  The trunk of the World Tree is as thick as a city wall, and Qingkong and Theresia standing on the lake under the tree appear extremely small.

Teresia, who stood still, folded her wings and saluted the World Tree solemnly, then she looked up at the big tree and said in admiration: "Although the new World Tree is far less huge than the World Tree that once stood here, , but it can still give me a deep shock. Letting the war spread and destroy the World Tree is the biggest mistake we have ever done. Fortunately, you have brought it back to life."

  Qing Kong said: "Therefore, we should protect it and prevent disasters from happening again. There is one thing I want to tell you, there are a large group of fallen angels appearing in the western region, and they seem to be aiming at the World Tree."

  The fallen angel is an unhealed scar in Sky City. During the ancient war, this group of angels fell into **** and raised their swords against their former companions. Therefore, angels hate fallen angels more than demons, and once they find the whereabouts of fallen angels, they will be endlessly chasing and killing them.

   Only after the ancient war ended, the fallen angels hid in the depths of hell, knowing that they had no strength to fight against Sky City alone.

   Has not revealed any whereabouts for thousands of years.

  This time, Qingkong said that a fallen angel appeared, and Teresia immediately put the purpose of coming to Qingkong behind. She asked, "Are you sure it's a fallen angel? Isn't it something else?"

  Qing Kong replied: "It was the World Tree that sensed it. This group of fallen angels set foot on the grassland of the ancestors for a short time without any disguise, but they were taken away by Victor, the first apostle of the Abyss Temple, and they should go to see the catastrophe."

   Theresia asked: "I've heard a little about the Temple of the Abyss, but what is Calamity?"

So Qing Kong told Teresia the cause of the disaster: "This is the legacy of the World Tree being destroyed by you. Thousands of years have made the disaster a mysterious energy that cannot be eliminated unless the World Tree is destroyed. "

  Hearing that Calamity was such a strong existence, Teresia was very surprised: "You mean, Calamity, Abyss Temple, and Fallen Angels may jointly attack the World Tree?"

   "This probability is very high. There is no second target in the western region that requires their tripartite alliance. I have sent people to investigate them, and the Moonlight Royal Court is about to mobilize troops to deal with the invasion that will come at any time."

  Whether it is to protect the World Tree or destroy the fallen angels, the angels have the responsibility to assist the Moonlight Royal Court to stop the invasion.

   Theresia spread her angel wings and said to Qingkong: "I will go to see Archangel Gold now, and the Moonlight King's Court Sanctuary will fully assist Her Majesty the Queen in protecting the World Tree."

  Clear Sky also spread out its wings of light: "I'm also going to see the Shuojin people, they also have the obligation to protect the World Tree."

   Theresa and Clear Sky flew away from Moon Lake in different directions.

  Halmutu Basin.

  Luke, Quick Legs, and Nightingale finally arrived at Sunshine City after a long journey.

  When all the nobles in the western region were living a tight life, Earl Ould of Sunshine City became an outlier. Instead of reducing his assets, he experienced a skyrocketing increase. He was able to do so well because of his immediate betrayal on the night of the assassination, and he sold out the nobles of the western region and the temple of the abyss.

  Luke also fulfilled his promise to Earl Uld, spending huge sums of money to build a large number of factories in Sunshine City, and designated it as the future Western Territory trade distribution center. Earl Ould has a very good relationship with the barbarians, and now with the help of Raging Waves City, he really sat on the golden mountain.

  Sunday City Railway Station is under construction, and part of the tracks have already begun to be laid. One section will be connected to the Crescent Oasis, and the other will be connected to the Moonlight King's Court. The railroad track extends in the desert to the hopeful distance.

  Luke and the others who pretended to be businessmen paid the entry tax and entered Sunshine City. The city was more prosperous than last time. At the same time, there were significantly more troops belonging to Earl Ould. Most of these private soldiers were barbarians. Earl Ould, as always, did not believe in humans, especially after he sold the nobles of the Western Region.

After entering the city, Quick Legs said to Luke: "Count Ould was completely isolated by the nobles of the Western Region, so he expanded his army to protect him and his territory. He also allowed the Imperial Secret Service to set up a branch here. I heard that the Public Security Bureau It will also open soon.

   Earl Uld can still be trusted, do you need to see him? "

Luke, who was riding a camel, looked at the scenery on the street and replied: "I don't need it for now, I don't want too many people to know my whereabouts. First go to Mevesman, and then go to Slave Corner to find the howling wolf man. There are more channels than you, and there may be more traces of those guys with black wings."

   "Yes, my lord."

   Quick legs lead the way, while Nightingale retreats.

  During the trip, she learned the purpose of the trip and the existence of disaster through the chat between Luke and Kuaileg.

She couldn't help but asked Luke curiously: "My lord, as far as I know, the Moonlight King's Court has a powerful Moonlight Knights, and they can also recruit soldiers from the barbarians of the entire Western Region. If Calamity wants to attack the World Tree, it must have a It takes a stronger army.

   And if there is such an army, so many people eat, it is impossible not to be discovered. "

Luke replied: "Catastrophe is a kind of mysterious energy, perhaps mixed with other powers. In addition to deceiving people, it is also good at summoning aggressive monsters with its own energy. Victor, the first apostle of the Abyss Temple, is a very A powerful mystic who can use the energy of the abyss. Together, the two of them can definitely form an army of summoned monsters.

   This kind of one-time summoned monster army does not need supplies, just release them when the time comes, and let them attack the Moonlight Royal Court.

  We need to find out where this monster army is hiding and how big it is. "

  Nightingale couldn't help being a little scared when she heard that there was such an army: "This seems to be the legendary sea of ​​undead. The endless undead form a tidal wave moving forward. While killing, they use corpses to supplement their own losses."

Luke said with a smile: "The sea of ​​undead does not exist. Summoning undead is not a simple spell. The most recorded incident of undead is about a thousand undead summoned for a short time, and then quickly eliminated. Facing modern times Undead have no chance to fight back, so there are fewer and fewer undead incidents. In fact, necromancers prefer to make high-level undead, which have intelligence and strength, and are much easier to use than low-intelligence undead.

   The monsters summoned by the catastrophe are indeed like low-level undead. They are not afraid of death and only attack. If the Northern Legion is in the Moonlight King's Court, I don't need to worry too much. However, the moonlight knights and the barbarians are far behind the regular army in terms of weapons and equipment and combat literacy, far below the standards of the modern army. "

  Nightingale blurted out: "His Royal Highness Alec's Western Region Legion is in the New Moon Oasis, you can definitely mobilize the Western Region Legion to protect the Moonlight Royal Court."

  Luke looked at Nightingale. Nightingale thought that the other party had misunderstood him, and then argued: "I have no other intentions, I just think it should be done this way."

Luke looked forward again: "I don't mean anything else, I just think you don't understand military affairs. The railway is not repaired, and it is difficult to transport the heavy equipment of the Western Territory Legion to the grasslands of the ancestors. If the imperial army can easily enter the Western Territory, the Western Territory The nobles have already settled down."

   "Ah, so it is." Nightingale was ashamed of her ignorance.

   While speaking, the three-person team walked through the streets and alleys, and finally the camel team was welcomed into a courtyard.

  The camels and pack animals were taken and taken care of by special people, and Kuaileg arranged for people to guard outside, and then led Luke and Nightingale into a tunnel.

  In a basement surrounded by torches, Luke met Mevsman, the leader of the Demon Hunt Squad.

  At this time, Mavesman was leading several backbone members of the Demon Hunt Squad around a table, looking at the map on the table.

  Luke entered the basement, and Mavesman immediately greeted him and saluted, and then said: "Listen to Kuaileg, your lord chose to inspect the western region as the first stop after becoming the chief assistant of the empire. It seems that something big will happen in the western region."

   "There is a big event going to happen." Luke walked to the map and saw that the terrain should be a map of the Western Territory, and then said: "It is confirmed that Calamity has received powerful foreign aid, and he will soon launch an attack on the World Tree."

  Hearing that the World Tree was in danger, Mevesman's expression immediately became serious: "My lord, this is the negligence of the Demon Hunt Squad. It is our failure to fulfill our duty that made the catastrophe stronger and stronger."

"The catastrophe has not become stronger, but there are more people who want to use the World Tree to do things." Luke didn't want to put too much pressure on the Demon Hunt Squad, so he said easily: "But there are more people who want to protect the World Tree! Demon Hunt The regiment does not fight alone, so here I am...

  How much do you know about Disaster Mie and the "Remaining Grudge" organization? "

  Luke's words made Mavesman a little more relaxed. She introduced Luke to the situation of the disaster and the "grudge" according to the markings on the map.

   Calamity itself has no offensive power. Its ability is to arouse people's hatred for World Tree and endow this person with great power. Therefore, the Demon Hunt Squad does not have much pressure to deal with Calamity. After all, people who believe in the World Tree are far more than those who hate the World Tree. The Demon Hunt Squad can easily obtain information and find out those who are confused by Calamity.

   But when "remaining grudge" joined in, the situation turned around.

  The Demon Hunt Squad has been established for too short a time, its internal system is immature, and its members are reckless. As a result, he encountered old and spicy "grudges", which damaged many people in a short period of time, and the scope of activities was greatly suppressed.

   "'Remaining Grudge' has been secretly supported by some nobles in the western region. They will deliberately release false information for us to investigate, and then take the opportunity to set up an ambush. In the area controlled by the nobles in the western region, except for the Sunshine Oasis, other places are very dangerous."

   Speaking of grudges, Mavesman couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

Luke said: "Most of the nobles in the western region are hostile to the Moonlight Royal Court, so they are more likely to be bewitched by the disaster. I believe that some nobles in the western region have accepted the power of the disaster and become its minions. It seems that the attack on the World Tree We need to add all the private soldiers of these western nobles.”

  Quick Legs said in surprise: "This is to fight the whole western region!"

"Yes, the entire western region is going to fight." Luke could only make the worst prediction, and after a little consideration, he said, "We can't fight at the enemy's pace. The Demon Hunt Squad is immediately mobilized to investigate all the nobles in the western region. Which aristocratic armies are showing signs of preparing for war."

  Maevesman replied: "Yes, my lord, I will send everyone out immediately."

  Luke said to Kuaileg again: "It seems that I have to see Earl Ould, you can arrange it, and try not to let too many people know that I am in Sunshine City."

   "Yes, my lord." Quick Legs accepted the order, turned and walked out of the basement.

  Luke turned to Nightingale and said, "Accompany me to Slave's Corner."

   "Yes, my lord."

  Luke counted the time again. If the first apostle Victor came to the West after leaving the Abyss Temple, then he has been in the West for a long time.

  The attack on the Moonlight Royal Court will really start at any time.

   Luke, who didn't dare to waste time, assigned everyone, and then took Nightingale straight to the slave corner.

   Gnoll Screaming has changed from the big housekeeper of the sand robbers to the big housekeeper of the merchants in the Western Territory. The daily bills from his hands are many times higher than before, and the money is getting more and more.

  So when he heard the sudden visit of Meteor, he immediately ran out to greet him.

   "The gnoll howls to see Mr. Shoufu." Howling saluted Luke in a dignified manner, and then welcomed him into the main hall respectfully.

  After Luke sat down on the seat, the jackal stood down respectfully: "Master Chief Assistant, you come to the slave corner in person with such a distinguished status, is there anything you need me to do?"

  Seeing howling the wolf man screamed so well, Luke didn't talk nonsense: "Someone saw a group of people with black wings over the western desert. Do you have any accurate news?"

The jackal screamed for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Lord Chief Assistant. Although some people said that they were a group of people with black wings, most witnesses said that they were black swans or black vulture eagles. How do you think those are people with black wings?"

  The person with the black wings is a fallen angel, no one dares to draw such a conclusion lightly.

  Luke said: "I said yes, don't ask too much, just answer."

   What a fallen angel who has disappeared for thousands of years!

Seeing that the chief minister of the meteorite was so determined, the jackal knew the seriousness of the problem, and he immediately told the information he knew: "Reporting to Lord Chief Minister, those people with black wings fly very high, and only those with excellent eyesight Can barely see.

  At first, these people with black wings circled a sand dune area southwest of Harmutu for a long time, and then someone saw them flying towards the grassland of the ancestors at a very slow speed.

  And...and someone saw them in the sky near Sunshine City a few days ago. "

   This surprised Luke: "Are these guys coming to Sunshine City?"

  The jackal screamed and cried out in fear: "Master Shoufu, please tell me, are these people with black wings fallen angels?

  I want to run away as soon as possible! "

  Luke looked at this luxuriously decorated room and said with a smile: "Scream, the richer you are, the less courageous you are. The fallen angels appeared near Sunshine City a few days ago, and they would have slaughtered the city long ago.

   Besides, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?

   If you have any other information, tell me! "
