Thank you [DbT1989] friend for your monthly ticket!
With the light of the morning sun shining, the residents of Xisselin City still got up and worked as usual. The shops were open, and the cries were still there. In the bustling market, people were walking on the streets wearing warm clothes. Their faces did not look sad at all in the chaos of war, but instead were full of relaxation and joy.
Because of the existence of the Shida Tree, the yield of all crops in the entire Lampard territory far exceeds that of any other piece of land on this continent. The farmers who depend on the sky and the ground for their livelihood are naturally very happy. When these people at the bottom of society become rich, It also means the prosperity of the entire territory - the various policies implemented by the Grand Duke have caused the resources of various countries in the mainland to continuously converge on West Selin City. Therefore, in recent times, the population within the city has increased dramatically, and it has reached the point where expansion is needed.
However, since the war is currently underway, the issue of urban reconstruction has naturally been put on hold. Since continuous drills have become the norm in recent days, the civilians have long been accustomed to the thundering sound of artillery, so in the early morning of October 18th when the sunshine warmed the city , no one cares about what is happening outside the city walls.
?What is an ordinary day for Lampard¡¯s people, but for the Vatican, it is an out-and-out doomsday.
The power of one shot of the magic artillery was enough to directly kill the Angry Angel Mars. However, after more than five hundred artillery bombardments continued for more than half an hour, Sunderland and Creevey, who were responsible for researching the artillery, did not believe that anyone could do so. Survive under horrific firepower. And this does not include the covering blow of the mage group that fell along with the artillery - Lampard's remaining 800 or so members of the mage group poured all their magic power into the basin, with more power than seven or eight forbidden spells. The final effect is even more terrifying.
When everything disappeared, the basin that had become a large depression completely changed the original landscape and turned into a barren land full of scorched marks. This meant thatthe last elite of the Holy See had all perished after this battle.
In the distant Mulental, the final "clearance" operation no longer seemed so important - the Byzantine and Lampard coalition defeated the 50,000 jihadi army that had lost the leadership of the Pope. As for the chaotic logistics troops of the Jihad Army, they were unable to organize resistance when countless vampires killed non-commissioned officers. In the end, their will collapsed in front of Hydra's huge body, and they fled and were defeated.
Since then, the Holy Gabriel Empire has completely lost almost all its combat power, and even lost its original leader, the Pope. When Byzantium regained its territory, it was naturally easy to get this "old rival" who had lost its fangs. Obviously, here, After this battle, the continent's pattern will undergo a huge change
Putting aside the other far-reaching significance of this war, at this moment, half an hour after the magical artillery bombardment ended, Ashkandi's figure quickly flew over the city, seeming to be somewhat incompatible with the calm atmosphere below.
The Queen of Darkness is working hard to find Morpheus.
Although he knew all his plans in advance and knew that Morpheus was going to use him as bait to lure the Pope and all the elites to teleport to Cicelin, Ashkandi also understood how dangerous such a battle was. Even if Morpheus reached " Demigod" level, but he can't easily deal with any enemy just by talking and laughing. The sword has no eyes, and the Queen of Darkness' previously calm and calm face showed undisguised anxiety. She relied on the induction of the soul contract to arrive outside Sisselin City, and then saw the figure standing in front of the charred black basin.
"Call"
With a long sigh of relief, Ashkandi flapped his bat wings and landed gently beside Morpheus. Then without saying a word, he threw himself into Morpheus's arms like a little girl.
After experiencing Morpheus's confession before, she discovered that Morpheus's weight in her heart seemed to have exceeded everything else. No matter what she did, she would think of those words that made her heart beat faster. Be it giving birth to a child, getting married, etc. Proposal, etc., maybe because of her lack of emotion, the once cold-blooded Queen of Darkness now her heart will always beat faster because of these words.
Seeing that Morpheus was safe and sound, Ashkandi's heart was finally relieved. What followed was her involuntary longing and imagination for the peaceful life ahead.
"Is it all over?"
Breathing the breath of Morpheus greedily, Ashkandi's heart felt extremely peaceful. In her opinion, the threat of the Holy See had been completely removed by Morpheus, and the so-called influence of Purgatory had been completely eliminated. From now on, there will be no more So many wars to worry about.
Morpheus gently held the queen's long hair, but his eyebrows were not as relaxed as hers - "The threat from the Holy See has been eliminated, but the breath of purgatory is still spreading here. I'm afraid things are not as I imagined. Simple."
Morpheus didn¡¯t want to say more words. He didn¡¯t want Ashkandi to be too sad, so he moved his face slightly and saidAshkandi placed a soft kiss on the cheek. Ashkandi, who originally wanted to ask something, immediately pursed her lips, her cheeks blushed a little, and she rarely showed a little shyness, but then she stretched out her hands to hug Morpheus's neck very domineeringly, and took the initiative , kissed him hard
This time it was Morpheus's turn to be stunned, but he quickly adapted to the queen's "domineering" style and hugged her waist - the two kissed deeply next to the ruins for a long time.
A few minutes later, Ashkandi, who lowered his head slightly, seemed to melt in front of Morpheus, lying lazily on his chest. Although he did not speak, his face was full of happiness and satisfaction.
Morpheus breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although there are still many things to do, we can go and have a peaceful sleep together first."
"Together?"
Ashkandi gently held his arm, turned around and walked away, murmuring softly with a hint of shyness. Just walking a short distance away, the warm atmosphere was completely destroyed¡ª¡ª
A breath suddenly appeared behind her, causing her and Morpheus to stop at the same time.
It took a long time for the diffuse smoke to dissipate, but there was not even a complete human body in this basin. Morpheus had stood here for more than half an hour before, just to prevent anyone from surviving the baptism of artillery fire and magic. came down, but obviously he didn't find anything - just as he and Ashkandi were walking away, some smells that shouldn't appear suddenly appeared on the scorched earth behind them.
At first it was a weak, indistinct fluctuation, and then there was a frown-inducing smell of sulfur in the air. Ordinary people might only think that this was the special smell that comes from the mixture of magic and artillery fire, but Mo. Faith and Ashkandi turned around warily and looked at the still peaceful ruins.
"Giovanni, it seems that you have provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked"
Morpheus said this softly, and when he saw Ashkandi wanting to go to investigate, he immediately stretched out his hand to hold her, stepped forward, and blocked her behind him calmly.
It feels really good to have someone protecting you
Looking at this silent movement, although Ashkandi's face was calm, his heart was extremely warm - the Morpheus in front of him had finally grown from that "weak" boy to an indomitable man.
He slightly tightened Morpheus's hand that never let go, and asked, "Are they the remnants of purgatory?"
Ashkandi asked, but he also thought it was a bit funny. Because she remembered that she once seemed to be a member of Purgatory - and before Morpheus could respond to this sentence, an inexplicable burst of laughter appeared in the air, causing her and Morpheus to suddenly raise their heads.
The fluctuations in the mist are hard to catch, but the choking smell of sulfur is getting stronger and stronger. The hoarse laughter is not pleasant, echoing around like muffled thunder, without stopping for a long time.
Morpheus frowned, clenched his fists slightly, and prepared for battle.
"I thought this guy was of some use, but I didn't expect him to be such a waste."
"You have plotted against the Pope from beginning to end. This idiot is really hopeless."
"Change the laws and use the halo to purify the army of purgatory. Hey, I really admire your idea."
"Cthulhu was also killed by you That guy was greedy for life and afraid of death all his life, but in the end he couldn't escape this result."
It was like talking to himself, and a little nervously babbled. This voice echoed around Morpheus vaguely, and it was impossible to catch it. Morpheus narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly asked: "You must be Ji Is that the guy behind Owani?¡±
Combining the previous collusion between the Holy See and the purgatory creatures, and the Pope's performance when the team collapsed, it is not difficult for Morpheus to come to this conclusion.
"Oh, smart humans, this is the second time we have met. Originally, you were really not worth mentioning in my eyes, but reaching the level of 'demigod' already shows that you have the qualifications to talk to me directly. ,Is not it?"
As the words fell, a huge figure seemed to step out of the space and appeared in front of Morpheus and Ashkandi extremely suddenly.
The body is like a huge poison sac, and the countless blood vessels under the skin are bulging like densely packed insect eggs. The four huge black horns on his head exuded an evil feeling, and the six blood-red eyes were filled with a playful light. He stared at Morpheus, who was only half the height in front of him, and calmed down slightly, but then slowly He set his sights on Ashkandi behind Morpheus.
"Ah, I haven't seen you for many years, how should I call you now?"
His voice echoed loudly in the ears of the Queen of Darkness, making her feel extreme oppression for no reason - not suppression in terms of strength or momentum, but Ashkandi suddenly felt that there seemed to be a vague idea in his mind. ?These pictures
Waving his huge claws, he shook the long horns on his head, and his six eyes gradually emitted a scarlet light.
"First of all, let me introduce myself - I am the 'Lord of Greed', Xel'Naga." His poisonous sac-shaped abdomen contracted, causing violent elemental vibrations in the air, "Ha, don't panic, naturally I can't enter When you go to the human plane, what you see of me is just a projection of me here."
Xel'naga talks a lot of nonsense, and seems to show off to everyone he sees. His ugly appearance combined with his nonsense is really disgusting. But Morpheus understood that the guy in front of him was by no means as easy to deal with as Giovanni.
He secretly gathered the power of the law and took a step forward.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you must be wondering why I didn't continue to lurk and wait for the opportunity to cause trouble in the human plane?" Xel'Naga, who was laughing loudly, patted his belly and pointed at Ashkandi: " That's because I didn't expect that I would see this acquaintance - if she wasn't here, how could I show up? Ha!"
This "ha" sound contained a power that made Morpheus's hair stand on end - he felt the space around him vibrate momentarily, and with Xel'Naga's movements, Ash, who was standing behind Morpheus, Candy took a staggering step without any resistance, held his forehead and exhaled!
Having been tortured by the heresy ruling for a long time, Ashkandi never said a word, but at this moment she knelt down with a groan, and then fell sideways.
At this scene, Morpheus was filled with an inexplicable anger. He turned his head and went to hold Ashkandi, but he heard Xel'Naga's joking words in his ears.
"Oh, oh, oh, it's okay, it's okay, she has forgotten too many things, I just want her to recall it."
