Chapter 139 on(1/2)
"Boral!" Aledo hurried to the altar and pointed at the meat monster that had wrapped its tentacles around the skeleton dragon and asked: "What is that monster?!"
At this time, Boral on the altar was also staring blankly at the huge meat monster on the front line that was devouring the Skeleton Dragon. His face was full of horror, so even if he didn't reply, Aledo would probably know that Boral was
I don’t know that monster either. Speaking of which, this is the first time Aledo has seen Boral make an expression other than a dead face and a gloomy smile. However, what is a little surprising is that Boral stared at the monster.
After a while, he actually laughed. But this smile was also the first time Aledo saw, and the smile was full of self-deprecation and bitterness, so Boral looked like a frustrated old man.
Aledo felt strange.
"Why are you laughing?" Aledo asked seriously, standing at the edge of the altar.
"I'm laughing at my own ignorance and absurdity." Boral turned to look at Aledo and said: "Your Highness, I now know what outrageous things the conspirators in the central region have done, and I can't blame that one.
Women will kill those people coldly and mercilessly."
Aledo didn't understand what Boral meant for a while, but when he mentioned "that woman", Aledo realized that Boral was talking about Morana.
Aledo almost knew about Morana's purge of conspirators in the central region, but he didn't know the reason and process. After all, Morana's answer seemed a bit obscure, but she also hinted many times that the conspirators
He did something he shouldn't have done, and also made it clear that he should quickly sever ties with the conspirators. Combined with the monster that appeared now, Aledo couldn't help but wonder if this thing was made by those people, because he heard that the Principality
Many monsters in the central region have spread to other places, and it's hard to say whether this huge piece of meat has any connection there.
Anyway, judging from this situation, this monster is definitely not created by Adrian or the Principality of Michael. After all, when the monster entered the front line from outside the battlefield, the most casualties were actually from the Principality.
The garrison, on the southern front, except for the blood and minced meat everywhere, there are no remains of the garrison corpses at all. Aledo can even imagine what Adrian, who is far away on the other side of the battle line, is feeling at this moment.
How distorted the expression will be.
Aledo pondered uneasily for a while, and then he cautiously led his soldiers to the altar and approached Boral. He wanted to ask Boral everything he knew, and of course he also had the idea of trying to kill and silence him.
At this moment, he thought that if this thing was really related to the conspirators, then it would be a good idea to kill Boral and then separate the relationship. After all, Aledo had already taken Boral and the conspirators under his command.
He once said that if they did something that crossed the line, Aledo would definitely kill Boral himself and then destroy the conspirators organization.
It's just that what was thought to be "crossing the line" actually refers to something else, because although the conspirators are a little depressed, they still have black information about many domestic nobles. If they are not a big threat to Aledo himself, but for Aledo himself,
The nobles and domestic forces under Aledo's command still have a certain impact on them, which is why Aledo initially established such an unfair deterrent treaty for the conspirators.
Aledo carefully held the sword and walked up to Boral, but the other party still smiled bitterly as he kept approaching but made no preparations.
"Tell me, this thing has nothing to do with you...it has nothing to do with you." Aledo asked, holding the hilt of the sword tightly.
"It's irrelevant...it's not realistic." Boral sighed softly and then turned to look in the direction of the front line, and unpreparedly exposed his side to Aledo, who had evil eyes.
The other conspirators on the altar naturally felt that something was wrong, so they all tried to get close to Boral to protect the leader, but the soldiers behind Aledo quickly raised their guns and aimed at the people who were about to move in various positions.
The conspirators, the conjurers, and the soldiers under the altar quickly dispersed and surrounded the altar in preparation for an attack.
"Your Highness, do you still remember the group of mysterious people we recruited some time ago? In fact, they found us on their own initiative. They provided us with some new powers that we had never seen before, and the members originally sent to the central region of the principality accepted them.
Members of these new powers." Boral turned his head and looked at the other magicians on the altar and said: "I know how dangerous that kind of power is, so I didn't let all the magicians accept that kind of power.
Baptism, judging from what happened in the central region, it was obvious that the other party was not satisfied with my original decision, so that was why the disaster happened in private and was completely out of control."
Aledo loosened his grip slightly, because it sounded to him that Boral was making excuses for himself. At least a clear excuse could successfully remove him and the conspirators from such a very serious problem.
.After all, there is a delicate balance in this seemingly chaotic world. At least the use of some very dangerous forces in the human kingdom will be listed as hostile behavior by other countries, and the most typical example is...
...the existence of necromancy and magic.
Manipulation of the dead and souls will not be recognized in any world, so necromancers are an absolute taboo in human society. As a result, spellcasters with extremely similar powers have naturally become similar existences. But said
In the end, it is only an approximation. Whether it is the source of the power of the conjurer or the ability to control the dead, there is a very obvious gap with the necromancy magic. This also makes the conjurer just a marginal existence.
However, although they will not be classified as public enemies by human society, the magicians themselves will not be accepted by the public, because after all, they still have a certain distance from the taboos.
Aledo didn't know how much trouble the conspirators in the central part of the principality had caused, but he knew that when the magicians crossed the line, whether it was the living dead with supernormal abilities or the vague rumors,
Giant monsters are no longer something that a conjurer can do. Although Aledo didn't know what this power was at the time, it was obvious that it was definitely not a power that humans could control. And when they were eliminated by Morana
At that time, Aledo simply felt that it was a bit difficult to save his face. He did not feel sorry for the powerful power of unknown origin. On the contrary, after hearing that all the conspirators over there had been eliminated, he was still silently relieved.
Take a breath.
But now it seems that Morana still hasn't dealt with it completely. At least if this huge monster is really something that ran out of the central region, then the problems it caused along the way here will definitely not be trivial.
, coupled with the large losses caused to Adrian on the battlefield at this moment, Aledo never thought that the principality would let him go easily. And if this news spread to other countries, then Aledo would also be very worried.
It is possible that he will become the target of public criticism. Let alone realize his ambition, he will probably be attacked by all mankind as soon as he shows up. Now Aledo does not have the absolute strength to be the enemy of the seven human kingdoms, at least he himself
Facing a principality is a headache, so it is better to be cautious at this time.
"Your Highness, the conspirators have their own pride." Boral tapped the floor of the altar a few times with his ceremonial staff and then continued: "But unfortunately, the conspirators are already rotten inside. Facing such a powerful force,
They may not be able to resist the temptation and sacrifice their souls to the devils.”
"What...are you talking about?" Aledo loosened his grip on the hilt of the sword in confusion, because at this moment he felt there was no need to target Boral. But Aledo didn't understand what Boral was doing now.
These words and the action he just struck on the ground clearly activated the ritual on the altar again.
From what Boral said just now, Aledo could tell that he was quite rational and did not lose his bottom line in the face of the temptation of powerful power. But then Aledo was able to understand the meaning of those words to some extent.
, Boral may be very rational, but this does not mean that the remaining members of the conspirators are like this. After all, this is an underground organization that controls dangerous power. As more and more pure evildoers and conspiracy careerists join in,
This organization became increasingly unstable, and even Boral's initial purge failed to bring the conspirators back to their original path.
The Conspirator was once a very authoritative think tank organization. In its most glorious era, it could serve several countries in the world at the same time, whether it was national policy or social system, or even the management of the people and the guidance of social public opinion.
They are what they are best at. But they never appear in the sun. The conspirators will only lurk in the shadow of the king and nobles and silently advise them, because what the conspirators want is a strong and stable person.
After all, the ancient documents of the conspirators record that they were born in a dark age when mankind was at an absolute disadvantage.
Aledo doesn't know how dark that era was, because there are almost no written records of detailed information about that era. At least from the beginning, the conspirators were a very positive organization, and perhaps the founders of the conspirators did not
Thinking that the current conspirators have ended up in a completely opposite situation than before.
"Your Highness, please take your soldiers and withdraw from the battlefield, before...you still have time." Boral put on the weird ritual mask, and then strolled towards the center of the altar. His steps looked very old,
If it were not for the factors of location and clothing, Aledo would most likely have regarded the other party as a wizened old man in his dying years.
"What are you going to do?" Aledo asked a little uneasily.
"I want to stop this monster." Boral looked at the big monster that had completely swallowed the Skeleton Dragon, straightened his back and said forcefully: "It shouldn't exist in this world!"
Aledo couldn't help but be a little surprised, because Boral said to stop rather than eliminate, but from the meaning behind his words, Aledo knew what the old man was going to do, so he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Your Highness, by now you should understand that this war is meaningless. Solis' domestic problems are the most important thing for you to solve. Hurry up and withdraw your troops before the retreat is cut off by Michael's battle group.
I will handle the remaining matters for His Highness. At least... I will not let these matters have anything to do with His Highness." Boral suddenly turned his head and glanced at Aledo and said: "Your Highness, I recommend you
If you have time, go take a look in that underground palace, there should be a lot of useful information for you."
Aledo did not stop Boral. He just nodded silently after being silent for a while and asked: "You will come back, right?"
Boral did not answer, but turned his head silently, raised his staff and hit it heavily at his feet. Along with a dazzling spell halo slowly rose from the ground, the entire altar and piles around it
The dragon bones were once again shrouded in the halo of the spell.
Aledo let out a long sigh, and then decisively left the altar with his soldiers without looking back.
As the heralds set out one by one towards the surroundings of the position, all the Aledo troops quickly abandoned their original positions and began to shrink and gather towards the center.
At this time, the monster Tas, which had been fused with the Skeleton Dragon, had expanded to a size larger than the original Skeleton Dragon. At the same time, the dragon-shaped bones of the Skeleton Dragon began to look like a rotten and expanded dragon, and even
Wing membranes composed of countless flesh strands also grew on the originally empty skeletal dragon wings. However, at this time, Tas had completely lost his own consciousness. Under the excessive nourishment of the powerful dragon bone power, Tas had completely
Finally reduced to a pure alien monster.
The keel of the original Skeleton Dragon's head had also been wrapped in a large amount of wriggling meat, and was broken into countless pieces under a violent and terrifying muscle squeeze. Finally, the completely twisted head gradually became
The head of an indescribable monster appeared. The monster moved its body slightly, then raised Chang's neck, opened its terrifying bloody mouth, and let out a muddy roar that resounded throughout the sky.
There are no traces of human soldiers at the monster's feet. Both Aledo's soldiers and Adrian's soldiers have withdrawn to their respective positions. It's just that Aledo's side has assembled its troops.
He began to retreat slowly, but Adrian was a little panicked when facing this huge monster towering on the battlefield.
Retreat? Retreat to where? This is the territory of the Principality of Michael. With such a terrifying monster appearing here, will Adrian choose to lead his soldiers back to Maryburg and huddle up? Absolutely impossible!
Although Adrian was panicking at the moment, he was still thinking about how to deal with this huge monster. At the same time, he learned from the information sent back by the Night Owl spies that Aledo had begun to withdraw his troops. Obviously, this bastard chose to avoid this
Sudden trouble.
In fact, at this time, Adrian would not naively think that this monster was created by Aledo, but he did not dare to completely deny that this thing had nothing to do with him. After all, from some characteristics, this monster
It is still somewhat similar to the things that appeared in Lavender City and Wellsk City. It is huge, twisted, endlessly devouring flesh and blood and then grows unreasonably. These characteristics are obviously related to that cult, and that
The cult is said to be related to the disasters in the central region, so Aledo is more or less involved.
But these things can only be considered later. At present, this twisted monster has once again taken its steps towards its own position. After all, Aledo's army retreated very quickly, and he
Everyone here has gathered in the camp, so it is naturally more appropriate to eat what is in front of you first than the food that has gone far away, at least this is what Adrian and most people think.
"Quick! Concentrate the firepower of the trebuchets and heavy crossbows! Stop it!" Aledo stood on the sentry tower and gave orders loudly. Fortunately, the reaction of his subordinates was indeed fast, so after a while there was a boom.
The explosion flames all hit the huge monster.
The violent explosion naturally caused powerful damage to the monster's body, but the speed of these injuries was not as fast as the monster's body could not repair itself. However, the more powerful magic projectiles could not damage it at all.
, this is because of the effect of the keel itself, so Adrian can only feel sorry for it and then increase the speed of bombing and killing.
But in the final analysis, there are only a few trebuchets on Adrian's position, and although the heavy torque crossbow can cause a lot of damage, it is somewhat painful. After all, this monster is too big, with iron as big as an arm.
The body will be swallowed up by flesh and blood instantly after being poked with it, which is even more disappointing than the initial attack on the Skeleton Dragon. Moreover, it seems impossible that this monster has internal organs or other parts, and all attacks cannot damage it.
To be continued...
