Chapter 540 The Light of Hope
Diet Rock Pass was finally broken.
The time when the locusts covered the sky lasted for about half an hour. It was unclear how big the entire insect covered area was, but then a large area of locusts fell in the surrounding mountains.
During that dark time, Heno and two other spiritualists in the army broke into the pass city and joined forces to kill the two spiritualists here, and then the rest was almost effortless.
When I saw the yellow-gray demon, I lost my effective command. In addition, the gate was already open, and the defenders in the city either fled or surrendered.
Afterwards, Heno ordered the two spiritualists to lead the soldiers to capture the assassins who had been tracked down by the army scouts.
Even though Nighthawk is a very outstanding scout, he was chased by scouts who were more than ten times more than his own, and two spiritualists came to arrest him in person, so it was difficult to escape.
So half a day later, the two nighthawks were tied up and caught back to Dit Yanguan City where they changed hands.
The green in the surrounding mountains is gradually decreasing, and refugees and fleeing former defenders have also fled to the hinterland of the kingdom. The army of the Qinggli Empire closed the front and back gates of the city gates and ordered the soldiers and the remaining civilians to hide in the houses and not be allowed to come out, so as not to attract demons.
This is rumored to be effective, but no one can understand when implementing it. After all, there are rumors that fire is effective, but some people have attracted a large number of yellow-gray demons to attack and be eaten after igniting the fire.
In the original government hall of the garrison mansion in Diet Yanguan City, four nighthawks were detained here either lying or kneeling.
Two people were injured by arrows, two people were kneeling, and one person was caught and one person was dead.
Heno sat in the upper seat, playing with crystal accessories in his hand. Although the accessories are still pleasing to the eye, they do not have any heat or light.
After watching for a while, he returned it to his son Brante, and then looked at the nighthawks with unwilling expressions.
I thought it was an assassin who came to assassinate Brante, but I didn't expect Brante to say that they didn't want to kill him, but just snatched away the crystal accessories.
"Who sent you here? Why did you snatch this thing? Do you know what it is?"
There were three questions in a row, but no one from the Nighthawks responded.
"Answer to me!"
"Bang."
A enlightened man himself kicked the waist of the leader Nighthawk, which made the latter unable to help but groan, and the pain was so painful that he sweated coldly. It took him a long time to recover.
"We... we are thieves. Seeing this nobleman... the noble master had a glowing treasure in his hands... he felt greedy for a moment..."
After saying this, the leader of Nighthawk stopped talking, but he had no hope of fooling anyone with such nonsense.
"Haha, can any group of thieves calm down when the yellow and gray demons cover the Sunlight Star, and break into the cavalry formation of the guards and snatch things from Brante?"
"You can still hurt five scouts in our army in the future with just two people! You are very capable!"
Heno joked with a sneer, reached out to stop him and wanted to come forward and beat someone up.
"Tell me, what's the use of this special gem pendant? Whose subordinate are you?"
In fact, Heno was also very worried about this issue. He knew that in addition to Brante, the Emperor of the Empire also had many such accessories, which were presented by the Nolan family.
So it is not ruled out that the imperial emperor has developed any special function of this thing and wants to get it silently.
"I swear in the name of the God of Light that as long as you speak, I can guarantee that you will live, and you will only lose a period of ziyou!"
It would be fine if Heno didn't mention the God of Light. When he mentioned this, the nighthawks below were obviously breathing heavily.
"Who will believe your oath for betrayal of God! Your Emperor uses the power of darkness to restore youth. You have brought destruction and summoned the demon to the mortal world. After seeing the yellow and gray demon, are you not guilty at all?"
One of the Nighthawks obviously couldn't bear it anymore. Anyway, the other party could not believe that they were thieves, and they were destined to be unable to survive. If they were unwilling to give up, it would be better to scold them.
Geno frowned and looked at Brante, who was also looking at his father.
Brante puts the crystal accessories in his palm.
"You mean, we were the yellow-gray demons?"
"Hmph, since your national sacrifice, the evil power has extended here. The civilians of Cengle may be innocent, but are you great nobles, especially the confidants of your imperial emperors, still innocent?"
The leading Nighthawk also smiled.
"Hahaha... Sacrifice to the gods, such a big lie! The yellow-gray demon came to the mortal world after that time, but this terrifying monster is just a prelude. Now the sweetness you taste will be returned with blood sooner or later!"
Although Heno had no expression on his face, Brante's face showed a look of surprise.
"What did you say? Are you saying that the yellow-gray demon was brought to the Cingagli Empire?"
He looked at Heno.
"Father?"
Genno knew what Brante wanted to ask, but he didn't know it himself, so he shook his head gently.
All this was also seen by the leader of the Nighthawk, and his heart suddenly moved.
"Old Lord! Based on the information we have received, the national sacrifice of the Cingaglier Empire has always claimed to be a sacrifice to the God of Light. Perhaps I can think you are not clear about the truth either?"
Nighthawk wanted to stand up, but was held down by the pro-guards beside him and couldn't move.
"Your Excellency! You don't seem to know what you have done, right?"
Heno smiled.
"Take them down, don't listen to their nonsense."
The pro-guards next to him immediately stepped forward, grabbed the nighthawk, lifted it up and pushed it out.
"Wait!!! Your Excellency the Noble!!!"
"Wait a minute!!! Do you know what the crystal in your hand is? Do you know!!! Wait, listen to me!!! It can save the world, please listen to me..."
The sound behind it stopped abruptly, and it was obvious that the guards were moving heavily.
After those nighthawks were taken away, Heno announced that everyone would disperse soon.
A short time later, in the temporary lounge of Heno, the father and son of the Nolan family gathered together again.
Brante was a little worried. He had thought that the sacrifice was abnormal for months, and the yellow-gray demon, a natural disaster that had never been legendary in the past, was too coincidental.
"Father...if that sacrifice should be really wrong, if His Majesty the Emperor is really not the power to pray to God..."
Heno remained silent.
Looking back on the creepy sacrifice, thousands of livestock, even a large number of death row prisoners, the blood, the strange red light, and the storm that followed, they are not sacred no matter how you look at it.
The sound of "buzzing buzzing..." sounded one after another.
The yellow-gray demon háo outside began to move again, and the green near Chengguan had been emptied, so small groups of locusts were constantly taking off around.
Brante was holding a crystal accessories in his hand. At this time, it once again lit up a faint fluorescence and emitted bursts of heat.
"Get in!"
There was a low shout outside, and a man staggered and was pushed in. It was the Nighthawk leader who had been taken down before.
When I saw the two people in the room, the experienced scout knew what was going on.
"Your Excellency, I am amazed by your wisdom!"
"Tell me, what's going on? Don't beat me around the bush this time!"
Heno squinted his eyes and looked at him.
The latter was looking at the crystal that was glowing at this time, and felt hope in his heart.
"Old noble, do you believe in legendary stories? What if I tell you, I have seen a living legend..."
