Chapter 80 You and Tianming's mentor are acquainted?
Afford city.
More than 300 hostages were covered with sackcloth hoods and were driven by the Tianming Army to the forty-five-meter-high white city wall.
The hostages include men and women, old people and children, all dressed in luxurious costumes and dazzling jewelry.
The headgear was taken off, and people recognized that there was the governor of the Green Vine Empire stationed in Afford, the first aristocrats of the Yamen Empire who surrendered to retain their positions and titles, the generals of the local city defense army, and the magician magic consultant...
And, their families and children.
The most powerful people in Afford were gathered together.
Being able to arrest these people on the tower means that the Tianming Army has dismantled the defense system and entirely occupied the city.
After the hostages got used to the light, they found that in the direction of Afford City, there were citizens who were called out to watch the excitement on the street.
Unknown enlightenment appeared in their hearts.
Some were expressionless, some begged for mercy, and some scolded...
But none of the members of the Tianming Army responded, they kept silent and stood there, welcoming Shady Veronica who was wearing a blue military uniform, and was walking over to them.
She held a white staff taller than herself in her hand.
On top of the staff are complex antlers, and on the antlers are blooming pink-white, underworld snow roses that constantly exude cold and dead energy.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess? You didn't die?"
The expression of the former nobles was as if they were seeing a ghost.
"Noisy."
With Shady's staff in her hand, the city wall suddenly became quiet.
Only her ruthless sentence reverberated throughout the city:
"You have betrayed the country to seek glory, aided the emperor in his abuse, and participated in the persecution of the Veronica royal family. Today, as the first heir of the Veronica family, I will grant you...death!"
"All have to die!"
Everyone in the Tianming Army responded in a deep voice, faintly excited, and looked at Shady with admiration.
When the mentor is here, the hope of the Yamen Empire is here; when the mentor is here, the end of the Green Vine Empire is here!
They have been dormant for three years, isn't it for today's revenge?
Revenge on the Green Vine Empire, revenge on the traitors!
With the smooth and skillful movements of the executioner, strange "kites" flew over from the tower.
The fat nobleman had a hole cut in his stomach, his intestines were pulled out, and he was nailed to the battlements with thick iron nails.
The man fell to the ground with a push on the back from the executioner.
The intestines are still on the city wall, as tough and elastic as the string of a kite, hanging from him to the end, stretching and shrinking, swaying in the wind.
There was a priest of the Tianming Army who performed magical healing techniques on him, screaming incessantly, his bowels continued, and the person didn't die immediately.
One by one, the "kites" were put down on the city wall, making the citizens look horrified, like a chilling ritual.
The extremely tender and sharp voice sounded, and the nobleman's five-year-old grandson could not escape the death penalty.
The citizens looked like they couldn't bear it.
But he also understands that this is bloody and a terrifying way to prove the end of the Veronica family.
This is the most simple and rude method for the ancient feudal rulers to use force in their hands to maintain their majesty, and it is also a very effective method.
No one wants to lose the lives of their families.
Shady's face was hidden in the shadows, silently watching the scene she directed.
When she was the eldest princess, she persuaded her younger brother not to treat the people so cruelly. Now that she’s back, she began to do similar things, even more cruelly.
The weakness of ignorant people and the greed of rulers seem to be an eternal cycle.
The executioners of the Tianming Army were progressing steadily at the speed of one person per half a minute.
The scene was silent, and the expressions of the citizens changed from panic to numbness, recalling the horror of being dominated by the Veronica Dynasty.
Near the end of the dynasty, corruption and greed were the norm. The land was annexed and the people were struggling. Some serfs who could not survive chose to take to the streets to ask for their lives, hoping that Emperor Yamen would ease their suffering.
But Emperor Yamen's rule was maintain with the support of the great nobles. He just sent the royal guards, magicians, and knights to attack together, bloodily suppressing protesters.
What is the use of ordinary anger and dissatisfaction, it will only turn them into a mountain of corpses outside the city of Afford, dyed red again and again through the Silver River of Yamen.
The conquest of the Green Vine Empire brought turmoil, and the rumors about the Queen of Eternal Night's brutality and debauchery are updated every day.
However, most people can still calculate that the tax has been greatly reduced in the past three years.
Although the new queen doesn't let them believe in the seven gods, and there are always people who encourage them to restore the old dynasty and welcome a new life, most people still feel that it is not bad, and even better.
Now, are you going to go back to a life that has just changed?
The kites swaying on the city wall screamed helplessly, like a chorus that became more and more enthusiastic.
Suddenly a discordant roar interrupted the rhythm of the chorus:
"It's ridiculous! I'm from the Ivy Empire, and killing the dog surnamed Veronica is a great achievement!"
The speaker was Brewster Baker, the governor of Acheng in the imperial uniform. He had flaming red hair, and a burly stature, and blood were constantly overflowing from his nostrils.
The executioner in front of him had his head blown off, and his neck was sprayed with blood and planted down the city wall.
Tianming's army first killed the traitors, and then the Green Vine people.
Therefore, Baker was ranked at the lower end of the release. When the executioner started, he burned the magic power to bypass the magic suppression and exploded the head of the executioner in front of him.
The price is that the ocean of consciousness will be broken, his strength will be greatly diminished, and there will be a lot of side effects.
The previous fights let him know that the strength of these enemies is beyond his ability to fight.
I don't know how many strong people in the Veronica Dynasty used to be, and the strength of that eldest princess is even more unfathomable.
If there is no chance to escape, then you can't do anything.
Baker turned around, stared at Shady, and showed a contemptuous smile, "I'm waiting for the imperial people, it's not your turn to judge me, the bereaved bitch of the previous dynasty!"
A plop.
He was burned into a mummified corpse by his magic power and fell backward.
But correspondingly, he unlocked the forbidden magic on his body for several imperial magicians closest to him.
Everyone can see that until the last moment of his life, Baker's back and his knees were straight, never faltering!
"Dad!" The two little twin girls carved in pink and jade cried out, taking advantage of the chance that Tianming's army was stunned, they rushed to Baker's corpse.
"Brewster, I'll be right here..."
Mrs. Baker closed her eyes gently.
She has the strength of magister and was once an excellent nightingale, active in the vanguard of the imperial conquest!
After the war, she chose to marry her husband and teach her son, but when the blood comes again, she will not back down!
As a bard, Mrs. Baker chose the same path as her husband and sang a mournful death song at the cost of burning all the magic power.
"Looking for death!"
Shady's face changed slightly, and the instant death spell pointed at Mrs. Baker.
Other powerhouses also took action to protect the Tianming Army members on the city wall, as well as those hostages.
But they still underestimated the bloodthirst and decisiveness of the imperial people, and the speed was a little slower.
Mrs. Baker, who gave everything, is a desperate swan song, how could it be stopped because of death?
Although the body dies, the soul also sings for the empire!
Wonderful voice, graceful chanting, conveys the indomitable imperial people with the romance of a poetess!
We wait for the life and death of the imperial people, and it is not the turn of the fake bitches from the previous dynasty to judge!
Those officials and relatives from the Ivy Empire also took the initiative to welcome Mrs. Baker's song of death.
Including her twin daughters.
It's better to die in your own hands than to be released by Tianming's army and become carrion hanging on the city wall!
"The Green Vine Empire will come back, Her Majesty will come back!"
Lady Shell collapsed in mid-air.
Countless officials and relatives from the Green Vine Empire looked in the direction of the mysterious capital and fell to the ground.
"All have to die!"
Tianming's army became furious and knocked down all the remaining hostages who wanted to escape the chaos.
But Baker's voluntary decision to die has shaken the emotions of the citizens who were shocked by the release ceremony.
They suddenly felt that if the Green Vines Empire can defeat the Veronica Dynasty once, it must be able to defeat them a second time, right?
They don't like Green Vine League people, but at this moment, their blood and bravery are admirable.
It is because of this kind of emotion that the bloody terror and royal majesty that the Tianming Army foreshadowed before have all become useless.
The Tianming Army wants to coerce the young and middle-aged into a rebel army that continues to attack surrounding cities, and morale and loyalty will become a big problem.
"Let them all fly."
Shady sighed lightly, but there was not much surprise on her face, and she whispered in a voice that only she could hear, "It's too hasty, fortunately, I have a backup plan, um... Then backup plan VII-2 Bar……"
At the same time that the Tianming Army hurriedly released the remaining hostages, Shady burst into the air with a huge amount of magic power.
Part of her black hair turned pale, and a crown of pointed antlers grew on her head.
A force was released from the staff, and her clothes also turned into a gorgeous white gauze dress, embellished with countless underworld snow roses.
She is no longer the quiet female scholar. Under the influence of the magical energy that exudes death, at this moment, Shady's eyes are cold and ruthless, and she is proud of all beings, like the messenger of death in charge of everything:
"Yamen Empire, your emperor is back!"
With a flick of the staff, a huge magic circle enveloped the city.
The breath of death rose from the ground, descended from the sky, and gathered to devour all the citizens.
Their lives passed away, but the corpses didn't stop absorbing the energy of death that could not be distinguished from divine power or magic, and their bodies became strong, tough, and hideous.
The metacarpal bone pierced through the livid skin, turning into a bone knife and a shield!
Roar! !!
The 500,000 citizens of Afford City mutated into 500,000 undead warriors in Shady's magic circle!
"Teacher, is she that strong? She can lead us to victory!"
Tianming looked at the beautiful figure in the sky with admiration and left tears of emotion.
"Send the magic projection to the surrounding nobles."
Shady's voice seemed to come from nine days away, and then the staff pointed westward.
The undead army rushed out of the city gate.
Tiredness flashed in her eyes, but she also felt relieved at last.
Compared with the uncontrollability of the human heart, which takes effort and time to maintain. The undead are always loyal, tireless, and obedient, which make them feel more reliable!
…
…
Khenpo Sak Desert, outside the city of Serena.
Roger rushed back to the central army tent, and the news he saw was the magic projection forwarded by the military department.
Of course, the Tianming Army cut off a series of operations such as Governor Baker's self-destruction. The only part was the execution of traitors, the transformation of the whole city into undead, and the undead warriors rushing out of the city.
He also saw Tianming Mentor, who was wearing a ghost demon in mid-air and entered a fighting state.
It is not surprising that Tianming's mentor summons the undead, which has happened many times in the main plot. At that time, the protagonist group was brainwashed for the helpless act of victory, and it was only later that she realized that she was doing it to save the trouble and felt that the undead was more worry-free.
At the same time, the Green Vine Empire has lost control of Afford City, and the entire province has become an intelligence black hole, not knowing what happened.
Only the surrounding nobles are frantically asking for the Queen’s support.
Directly transforming a city of life into undead, they were frightened by the methods of the Tianming Army.
The strength of the eldest princess Shady Veronica of the previous dynasty far surpassed that of the legendary powerhouse. Everyone felt that only the Queen of Eternal Night could resist.
With such a powerful rebel army suddenly appearing from the rear, the officials in Odu were also frightened. When they dispatched support, they forwarded the news to the front line as soon as possible.
Whether to support it or not, only the Queen can make a decision.
Although Roger knew that Tianming's army would become the gravedigger of the Green Vine Empire, this time didn't match what he knew.
[This is at least two years earlier than the first public action of the Tianming Army in the game! However, the strength of the tutor is not worse than in the later stage of the plot...]
[But it shouldn't be. She is a cautious character. She always delays her actions due to insufficient preparation. How could she be so early...]
He frowned, smelling an unusual smell.
Tianming's mentor, Shady Veronica, is the most important NPC to promote the main storyline, and the protagonist of the game is raised by her.
Players are too familiar with her character.
She also has a nickname called Tianming Gousheng, an absolute pessimist and procrastinator.
Before each action, she will prepare a lot of backup plans. No amount of space bracelets is enough. Many key actions in the game plot have been delayed and delayed.
Players find evidence on many sidelines and explain to Shady that "Don't come again when the opportunity is not lost", forcing her to act immediately to achieve a perfect ending.
At this time, Shady should still be cultivating the inter-dimensional gap. Why did she act in advance?
This is not strict, why?
The situation in front of him was like falling into a fog. Roger tried to analyze the hidden truth, and suddenly felt extremely terrifying magic energy fluctuations.
The Queen of Eternal Night has already received this urgent report from the rear and sent it back to the central army tent from the center of Serena City.
She was very angry, and her emotions were on the verge of going wild.
Roger walked out of the tent and greeted the Queen of Eternal Night together with Rommel and other officers who hurried back. He saw the burning fighting spirit in her eyes.
Fela of the Orc Tribe was unbearable, and she was not addicted to it.
Suddenly, the eldest princess from the previous dynasty was so provocative and looked very powerful. She must have wanted to make a rash move, right?
Roger's mind flashed.
Could it be that the instructor wanted to anger the blood mother and lead her to Afford City?
At this time, there was also a military wizard who said that the Silver Dragon Knight was detected and that a large number of orcs fighting races were returning to Serena City.
Roger suddenly felt that what he had just thought was very close to the truth.
There are many coincidences in the world, but this time the coincidence is too much, so there is only one explanation: the orc tribe and the Tianming Army have united.
No, at a deeper level, it should be said that the goddess of war and the god of knowledge behind them are playing giant chess together, right?
What is the goal then?
Let Rommel's army go deep, and then transfer the blood mother and wipe out these 150,000 people?
It makes sense, but Roger feels that the benefit is not enough. With the character of Tianming's mentor, she will prepare a feast for her when she leads the Queen of Eternal Night to her, right?
At this time, the Queen of Eternal Night had already made up her mind and said to Rommel:
"I'm going to meet the Ming army today. The orcs can guard the broken city. If they can't, they can break through and return to the empire. Anyway, the goal of punishing the orcs and training troops has been completed. Sir Erwin, don't be under pressure."
Rommel confidently assured, "According to your majesty's orders, I will ensure that I have as much strength as possible."
Seeing that the Queen of Eternal Night was about to teleport away, Roger was a little anxious.
When you don't know the enemy's true purpose, it should be the most reasonable choice to not act according to their expectations, right?
He came out and shouted, "Your Majesty, please don't return to the city of Afford. I suspect that the Orc tribe and the Tianming Army have colluded, and have prepared many traps there for Your Majesty!"
"In the face of absolute strength, what's the use of mere conspiracies and traps?" The Queen of Eternal Night snorted coldly, and she even wanted to try her flashlight.
Now that you say that, I am more interested in going to Afford City to try out the enemy traps. Is it comfortable to step on~
But at this moment, she heard Roger's helpless voice:
[Oh, she thinks she can do it again? What's the use of going to their aid now, the city of Afford is already full of undead and, at most, she can save the surrounding grass that surrendered, but the five armies here are going to be killed! 】
[What's more, if you can kill that mentor with this wave of shit luck, it will only make things worse. With her here, I can help you predict the trend. Without her, the gods will support ten new agents, and the passive situation without intelligence will be even more difficult...]
Tutor? Agent of the gods? Can you predict the trend?
Doesn't it sound like you are very familiar with the eldest princess?
When Roger thought of Tianming's mentor, he sounded too intimate and trusting, which made the Queen of Eternal Night suddenly vigilant.
She had already stepped into the portal with one foot, but she suddenly retracted it and looked back at Roger with a smile:
"But Roger thinks that the orcs colluded with the Tianming Army. Is there any source of intelligence that I don't know about?"
Rommel and the staff were stunned.
Your Majesty interrupted the teleportation because of what Roger called "conspiracies and traps"?
Longevity, is this still the queen we know?
Your Majesty has always ignored the three-seven-two-one, and called it first!
Roger was also surprised.
I did my best to listen to the call of destiny, but in the end, I stopped the Queen of Eternal Night?
It's just that the Queen of Eternal Night looked back at him with a playful look, which made him inexplicably feel the chill in his vest.
[There is something in the blood mother's words, how does it mean to catch a rape? It made me think I knew what I had done for my mentor and exposed it 23333! 】
[However, it stands to reason that Tianming's first appearance, I really shouldn't know, how should I fix things that Roger Charles shouldn't know? 】
Roger's organizational language didn't speak immediately. The Queen of Eternal Night listened to his voice, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more difficult to understand.
Then I thought, if you think about this, I don't rush to step into the trap.
But some rotten nobles, who are not very skilled, have the face to call me for help, and they will die if they die.
Now I'm just curious when you and the old woman from Veronica's family met, and what did you secretly do to hurt me?
And most importantly, in your current position, do you want to help me or help her?
The opened portal quietly disappeared.
