Chapter 369(1/2)
"boom!"
The sound of cannons continued, but everyone in the camp froze.
Priest Bren on the main seat, after spitting out the word "dog" to everyone, his bloody eyes seemed to see some frightened creature, and then his eyes became distracted and dull, like a dead dog that suddenly died.
Already.
"Hurry up and save Master Bren!"
"He is the next bishop prepared by the Divine Court, and he must not die here!"
"I have a small amount of soul crystal in my hand, it might be useful."
After confirming that Priest Bren was not deliberately cursing, everyone hurriedly came up with their own treatment methods. The most effective soul crystal, in the arms of a female healer, turned into the wings of a dragonfly and sank into Priest Bren's body.
.
The next moment, a large amount of blood spurted out. Priest Bren's face felt as if he had been sprayed by high-temperature steam. A large area of his face was burned, and blood spattered from the overcooked rotten flesh. He sprayed the healer in the face, scaring the other party to death.
His face lost color and his delicate body trembled.
"Unfortunately, the soul crystal did not work. Priest Bren... unfortunately died."
The swordsman looked at the blood on his hand, was silent for a while, and said.
There are many dangers lurking in the river of time. If you are not careful, your spiritual consciousness will be swallowed up, your soul will collapse, and some rare ancient creatures will forcibly occupy the body and be reborn.
Right now, the soul that Priest Bren went to explore was completely destroyed. Even a soul crystal could not be protected. Instead, it had a strong conflict with the body, causing the physical body to collapse.
"Lord Bren fell like this without even using the Soul Explosion. It's hard for the Divine Court to explain."
A soldier wearing a horned helmet frowned and everyone's faces turned a little ugly when they heard this.
This operation was after the principality received the oracle from the God of Harvest, and the three families formed an alliance to hunt the demons.
But Priest Brun, who was nominally the leader and the next bishop to take charge of the Holy Court, died on the road. This was a heavy blow to the army hunting demons.
"Wait, didn't you hear clearly? The information Master Bren revealed is related to dogs."
The Horned Helm warrior reminded that after Brun's death, he had the confidence to compete for the leadership of this army.
"Dog? There are no canine monsters around here..."
After cleaning up the blood stains, the healer's pretty face showed a look of horror, and he trembled: "Could it be the Cerberus sealed in the Flame Mountains in the Southern Wasteland?"
"It's possible."
A magician with seven thunder balls behind him stood up and said.
"It is rumored that Cerberus can open the door of hell in mythology and lead to the eighteenth level of the abyss. Its soul body is even more pure. It was discovered by the bishop a few months ago that it crossed the river of time and grew a second
The head has regained half of its strength!"
"What, is it really that?!"
Everyone was shocked, and their faces became unnatural when they talked about this secret information.
"You know, after the God of Harvest personally suppressed the Cerberus, it has been recovering its strength, trying to break the shackles, regain freedom, and bring plagues and disasters to the northern land, causing large-scale massacres."
"As one of the four heavenly kings, that hell dog belongs to the evil and chaotic camp. It regards all beauty and order as nothing and only relies on its destructive instinct to do evil."
"Priest Bren, perhaps during the investigation, accidentally encountered the Cerberus. Even the soul blast method was suppressed, and he was involved in a massacre, and eventually died unfortunately."
The magician looked solemnly and made a guess.
Everyone was dubious, but there were important things at the moment, which were to track down the cause of Priest Bren's death, and to follow the clues and pursue the demons who had sneaked over.
"Giant City, Silver Light City, Titan City..."
The swordsman spread out a map, which, under the operation of magic energy, recorded in detail the division of forces in the chaotic land.
Amid everyone's speculations, little did they know that the flowing river of time, a flower vine that was feared by the seaweed, bloomed and handed a blame to an old dog in the southern wasteland.
Outside the camp, at the tip, three flags with different heraldry are arranged in a triangle, standing in the wind, and they are prestigious.
The Vayne family with the giant wolf stepping on the moon, the Bailan family with blooming flower vines, and the Glenn family with the high tower fortress.
These are the forces of the three principalities, each in charge of a country. With the support of the God of Harvest, they govern the vast territory of the North.
The principality has been stationed in the north for thousands of years and has a profound foundation. Because it believes in the god of harvest, it has never stopped hunting demons.
But even so, the city of Constantine, as a rebel force, had only risen less than a century ago, but it dared to fight with the three principalities.
With the backing of a fountain of life that breaks through the level restrictions, you will be strong-willed and will not give up!
…
"Whoops!"
The young man who turned over and got up was startled. The window trembled, and a biting cold wind came out of the narrow gap, making him shiver.
Thinking of today's mission, he wrapped himself in a cotton sweater from the hanger. Then, he carefully opened the window, and a cold wind mixed with snowflakes poured into the room.
"hiss!"
Jimmy took a breath of cold air, stretched out his hand, and pinched a crystal clear snowflake. A chill came from his fingers, and then his whole hand was submerged by the snowflakes carried by the cold wind.
"The disaster of winter is coming."
He murmured, shook away the ice and snow with one hand, closed the window, looked at the heavy snow, ice fog, and frost flowers gradually freezing on the window, thinking about something.
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his neck, and a few snowflakes fell on it, causing him to shrink his neck involuntarily.
When he raised his head, he realized that at some point, the window had been frozen by a layer of white frost, and cold wind was blowing through the gap. He finally blocked it tightly with a sponge from the bathroom.
"Winter is coming. It seems I don't have to go to work today. I wonder what's going on with the master."
"If I have a holiday, I can choose to go to the tavern to help and pick up the maid named Alice. I'm so happy!"
Jimmy laughed. Although the weather was a bit bad, food and clothing in Titan City were not a problem.
Thanks to Natasha's first-level connections, Master Maga was taken seriously by the higher-ups, and he established a new armor-making department in the alchemy workshop, which was very popular. The thief leader was also very discerning.
Just as he turned to go downstairs, suddenly, the frost on the window gradually melted, and a layer of vein-like lines appeared, shining with a light red light.
The entire city's surface is engraved with the magician's patterns, which are connected to the stone chains of the city lord's palace to provide heat for the entire city!
Xiao Han even used the sun's potential, and the majestic power of potential swept across the city. Even the fire grass took root on the roadside. Stepping on it was like walking on a hot blanket, which was quite comfortable.
Snowflakes were already floating in the sky, and there seemed to be countless white elves in the gray sky. They came from the far north, rolling up violent frost and snow all the way, but under the explosive heat, they danced and turned into
A hazy layer of water mist flew everywhere, accompanied by the training slogans of the Wolf Cavalry.
"Start, let's go!"
"One two one, one two one!"
On the street, a jackal led a group of fully armed cavalry, walking in the cold winter.
Wearing armor made of fine steel, holding a standard spear in his hand, and carrying a light crossbow, he exuded a powerful aura that made people look at him.
The posture of the troops' movements was skewed at first, but gradually became uniform.
George was very excited. After Xiao Han took over Titan City, he naturally did not forget these old subordinates. Shortly after returning to the city after the Battle of the Wasteland, George himself was given the position of deputy commander of the First Corps of Wolf Cavalry.
Oh, the commander of the legion is Blood Crow, but this guy is cold and has always been resolute. In recent days, he has accommodated Xiao Han's suggestions and formulated a training plan for the Iron-Blooded Army to expand the size of the Wolf Cavalry.
What Xiao Han wanted to build was a highly mobile wolf cavalry that would be as fast as lightning in the coming spring. Based on unconfirmed intelligence in the wilderness, it could cut off the principality's supply lines and make a lot of money.
The blame would naturally fall on the vassal forces of Constantine City.
The prepared wolf cavalry was reluctantly expanded several times at Xiao Han's request. The first batch of recruits were enthusiastic and far exceeded the limit of 300 people!
How tempting it is to go out of the city to plunder supplies, hand over 90% to the city, and keep the remaining 10% for yourself.
Not to mention, even 90% of the supplies were distributed to the people below for the construction of infrastructure. Moreover, after the war, there was a generous pension, which was distributed to the family members through the registration office of the warehouse, which could ensure the safety of the people.
A person will have no worries about food and clothing throughout his life.
Therefore, those who can be selected into the Wolf Cavalry are all the elites... Well, those who take the back door don't count.
Therefore, a group of old city managers who took the initiative to recruit soldiers cherished the opportunity privately given by the city lord and accepted the training formulated by Blood Crow.
"Stop, rest for ten minutes!"
George shouted, he raised his head and looked at the snow falling from the sky, turning into water droplets under the heat wave set off on the ground.
"Uncle, give it."
Suddenly, a girl held a pot of water and handed it to the ferocious-looking jackal, with a hint of admiration in her fearful eyes.
"Huh? Thank you very much."
George was slightly startled and looked around. From the newly built house, women and children came out, holding water bottles and fruits, and enthusiastically handed them to the Wolf Cavalry.
In the eyes of the masses, the prepared wolf cavalry are the guards loyal to the city lord and the city's protective force, worthy of their respect and love.
Suddenly, George smiled, took a sip of water, and touched the girl's head with his generous hand. He looked at the harmonious scene of the people around him, and he felt a little dazed.
The impression rooted in his bones was the last winter disaster that lasted four months. Because of the low status of the orcs, he drifted with his family to Silver Light City, where nearly 20% of the people starved to death and 10% died of hunger.
People froze to death, and their bodies were randomly thrown at doorsteps, garbage dumps, and alleys, with no one paying attention.
Some hungry refugees even dragged the corpses of their companions over without mercy. From the deep corners, rat-like gnawing sounds could be heard.
To be continued...
