"Your light opens sane eyes and gives life to all things."

"You ascend, you shine! The heavens roll aside!"

"You are the king of the gods, you are the god of all."

"We come from you, and we are honored in your midst."

"Your bounty comes out at dawn and washes hearts with laughter."

"The holy wind blows with music through the golden sky."

"The dead rise up and sing a hymn to the sun!"

"Praise be to you, great sun god, and praise to your astonishing ascension!"

The words and sentences of the poem coincided with the scene in front of her, as if it was the reappearance of the epic in the age of mythology, which made her unable to distinguish between reality and illusion for a moment.

one-one-one-one-one

Boom boom boom!

With the weight of the continuous firing of the light cannon, the flames around Ivan became more and more hot, as if he really turned into a scorching sun.In the blazing sea of ​​flames, the low-level monsters that slipped through the net struggled to approach him, but none of them could persist for a moment, and all were wiped out in the light of the light.

Roar! ! ! ! !

A scorched human-like high-level fear beast roared in pain, stretched out its claws, and stabbed him in the heart from behind.At the moment when the monster approached, a wall of light woven by countless lines unfolded in front of Ivan, and the fearsome beast hand that had just arrived cut along the wall with a stream of sparks.

Before it could make a second blow, Ivan dissipated the light energy barrier, and without looking back, he elbowed it, instantly blasting it to ashes.

"I didn't expect there to be so many... It's really unscientific, if the horror beasts are completely transformed by humans. Wouldn't it be necessary to hollow out the entire empire with so many monsters? Or... the horror beasts that humans have degenerated into are just One of the types of monsters!?" He seemed to realize something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and countless light trails flashed across his molten golden pupils.

Companion Ivan's eyes were concentrated, the sky seemed to brighten a little, the disaster clouds in the direction of the oasis separated layer by layer, and a straight and dazzling golden beam of light fell from the sky and fell in a certain direction.

Then, as if it was a replica of this scene, over the oasis, the dense cloud of disaster smoke rolled as if boiling, and countless molten golden spots appeared behind the separated clouds.Then bundles of golden light cannons tore through the dark clouds and fell downwards, turning half of the sky into a color like liquid gold for a while.

Unhurried, yet powerful.

That scene was like a sharp red-hot sword piercing the mound, burning the ground black and piercing the mound riddled with holes.The energy barrier condensed by the monsters shattered in an instant, like a collapsing glass cover, blasting countless flashing fragments that fell from the sky.

The light cannon covered the entire oasis, burning it into a land covered with thick smoke, flames and magma. The magma flowed onto the sand on all sides, and the gravel immediately crystallized to form a smooth layer.

It took less than a minute for the beams of light to disappear one after another. When the last beam of light disappeared, the scorched original oasis was dead silent.Smoke billowed from the mostly crystallized ground, and battered, charred towers stood lifeless in the center of the earth.

It was found that the towers had not been completely destroyed. Driven by Ivan, the light cannons at the top of the sky organized another volley.Golden beams of light criss-crossed across the sky, weaving a spectacular light web—after another round of saturation bombing, the towers that stood upright were gone.

one-one-one-one

The roar of the golden light cannon gradually disappeared, and the dust gradually fell, and the golden light in the sky faded away from the ecstatic people.

Through the cyan smoke flying all over the sky, the defenders saw the land that was originally covered with oases—at this time, a scorched basin spread radially to the surroundings. The bombardment of light cannons not only lowered the altitude of this area, It even covered the surrounding sand with a layer of clay.

"We have won! We have won!"

"It was the king who saved us! The king saved the city of Memphis!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Looking at the entire battlefield, the figures of the Horror Beast and the Summoning Tower had disappeared without a trace, causing uncontrollable cheers to spread.

"Hooray! Hooray!"

Commander Khafre also raised his hands high and cheered ecstatically.

He had already planned to die for his country, but suddenly the gods punished him and wiped out the assembled monsters in one fell swoop—not only did he not have to die now, but he might even be rewarded.

boom--!

Khafre was cheering hoarsely, when a beam of light suddenly galloped through the spreading sonic boom clouds, and suddenly turned in mid-air, falling soundlessly in front of the front infantry.

Ivan looked around at the extremely exhausted but excited faces, feeling mixed feelings in his heart - helplessness, comfort, and a little shame.

I thought it was a flat war, but I didn't expect so many monsters to come out.Starting from the Battle of the Avanse Oasis, the Demon Hunting Legion encountered more and more monsters along the way, and they became stronger and stronger.

In the morning, he just took over the urgent report to Memphis, but was caught by the evil disaster in the Mirren area, so he had to leave the army and come alone.By the time we got here, the fortress had already been crumbling due to the raging waves of demons.

It was just a little bit short, and the defenders were a little bit close to collapse. Thinking about it, Ivan felt a wave of fear.Once the fortress is breached by the fear beasts and they are broken up and passed through the city of Memphis, the situation in several nearby provinces will deteriorate, and the situation will be completely out of control.

"I'm late." He said to Commander Khafre and all the defenders.

"It's not too late! Your Majesty save us all!" Khafre quickly knelt down on one knee, looked up at Yiwen and saluted.

"I!?"

Ivan raised his head, looked at the broken battle flag flying in the wind on the fortress, shook his head, and said loudly to the city defense army and front infantry:

"I just arrived at the last moment. You are the ones who save you. The gods love brave warriors, and fate favors those who never give up! If you didn't fight to the death with your inferior forces, you blocked the monster's path." Offensive, Sai will never stand here intact. It is you who have saved the city of Memphis and countless lives!"

As his voice spread to the surroundings, the cheers on the battlefield subsided, the eyes of the soldiers gradually filled with tears, some bit their lips and wept silently, some couldn't help but cover their eyes and sobbed secretly .

Some of them have never held a sword or been on a battlefield, and they dare to fight monsters only because of their bravery.Now that the war is over, and the overwhelming tragedy looms in sight, it is naturally impossible to let go of it easily.

"In the name of the King of Vientiane, I pay tribute to all the sacrificed heroes."

Ivan raised his right arm high, his fingers moved forward, and passed everyone's sight: "All those who died will receive compensation, and all those who participated in the war will receive bonuses and commemorative medals! The king of the gods will remember your achievements, and the history books This battle will be recorded, and your children and grandchildren will be proud of your deeds today."

Speaking of this, he found that many people had expressions of wanting to cry and laugh, but they tried their best to hold back their faces, and their faces turned purple, so he announced loudly:

"My warriors, you can cry if you want! Fear is the most valuable thing about courage. No one will laugh at you, and no one will look down on you because of this, because these are the tears of heroes!"

"Wow! Mom! I miss you so much!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Woooooh, Cynthia, my love!"

The defenders burst into tears immediately, shouting and crying together, and the crying outside Memphis shook the sky for a while.

Chapter 26 Light and Darkness

After solving the siege of Memphis City, Ivan was worried that the monster would have another move, so he was not in a hurry to leave here.

Then they sent an order to the space fortress, asking them to use satellites to scan the cities and deserts around the mountain fortress, and find various rewards for monsters.

After careful investigation, two branches of the demonic tide were found.They seem to be planning to take advantage of the main force and the human defenders to fight to the death, and go over the mountains and go straight to the city of Memphis-this kind of army that doesn't need supplies is really elusive when it fights guerrilla warfare.

It took a little more time, and after all the Horror Beast Legion was wiped out, the demon tide in the Memphis area was finally quelled.Since then, all the monsters in the empire have been wiped out, all the summoning towers have been pulled out, and there are only sporadic mobs left waiting for the demon hunting team to kill.

After this thorough sweep, the evil disaster that had plagued the Menes Empire for a long time finally fell into a low ebb.
