scepter

Everyone immediately felt that this high-level monster seemed to know that they were hiding here.

Not only that, but the other party also showed a malicious smile.

That kind of smile appeared on a face that looked like a human but was completely different. Not only was it unaesthetic, but it also had a creepy feeling.

"Look, my dear, his skin is whiter than yours," the blood prince, who didn't know when he changed back to human form, held the priest's wrist tightly, and joked unexpectedly.

Wilson, "..."

Sophia, "..."

Chris, "..."

"..." This kind of joke is cold, okay? Yannick glanced at the hideous blood vessels floating on the monster's face, and his egg hurts uncontrollably. "I think we should run quickly, before he has any plans to come over..."

As a result, before he finished speaking, those low-level monsters suddenly turned around and rushed towards the cave where Yannick and the others were in!

The huge monster spiders and monster apes are so fast. Although the cave is half a lake away from where the monsters are, according to their size and speed, Yannick has no doubt that in half a minute, the monsters will be able to Fill up the cave and turn them all into lunch.

Although Yannick and the others don't pay attention to those low-level monsters, there are not one or two monsters here, and their number is enough to form a huge army of monsters, and those who command these monsters are more Low-level monsters are more terrifying high-level monsters.

Yannick has seen the power and speed of high-level monsters before. It is absolutely incomparable to normal humans. Maybe the blood race can compete with it, but even in terms of pure strength, high-level monsters are not inferior to the blood race, let alone them There are only five people, and the other party is a large group. Even if the goddess of light is reborn, facing this situation, I guess they can only turn around and run away?

So almost as soon as the monsters started, the two people on the left and the right of Yannick had already firmly grasped his wrists and pulled his whole body back. Wilson did not forget to pull Sofia up. Although the action was very rough, but finally Did not abandon her either.

Yannick shouted: "Block the passage, don't let them in!"

Although the cave is spacious, the low-level monsters are even bigger. They may not even be able to squeeze in the entrance of the cave, but they are more than enough for the high-level monsters. If they are allowed to go directly to the territory of the Garter Empire through this passage, Yannick will not even be able to get in. Don't even think about it, it must be a huge disaster.

Almost at the same time, Chris understood what he meant, and with a finger of the staff, the entire cave shook violently, the surrounding stone walls cracked rapidly, and large and small stones fell one after another.

Amidst the rumbling sound, the stones quickly filled the cave, and Chris almost cast magic all the way, that is to say, behind them, this dark passage was filled again by the collapsed stones, turning into a completely The painless death path, even the surging river water did not know when it was stopped. Without the source of water, the river stopped flowing soon, followed by the restlessness of countless animals in the river, many of which were originally The mutated ones looked more like they had taken some kind of manic potion, running around in the cave, and their survival instinct made them scramble and run out.

Yannick didn't want these animals to go outside, he asked Ans to kill them one by one, and he kept killing them with light.

"This mountain is going to collapse!" Chris said amidst the earth shaking.

This is inevitable. They are tossing around like this, which is tantamount to shaking the foundation of the mountain, but this is even better. Only when the whole mountain collapses will the passage be truly blocked. No matter how powerful the monster is, it is impossible to The whole mountain was moved to the territory of Jiade.

The ground under his feet shook more and more violently, and everyone's pace became faster and faster. Yannick, whose wrist was being held by the blood prince, felt as if his body was about to fly up involuntarily.

With the collapse of the mountain, many animals that originally lived here were crushed below, and some of them were killed indiscriminately attacking Yannick and the others during their violent escape. Even with the illumination of the light magic, everyone felt that the dust hit their faces, and their eyes were completely blurred.

Sophia didn't want to rely on Wilson all the way, so even when the man dragged her forward, she tried to escape herself, sweeping away some of the falling stones with her sword.

After being swept away by her, some stones bounced back to Wilson's face, and the sharp edges and corners drew a bloodstain on his cold forehead.

Sophia: "..."

Wilson: "..." He really wanted to throw this human woman to feed the monsters!

She had no choice but to work harder to sweep away the stones, and by the way, be a little more careful, so as not to accidentally injure passers-by.

I don't know how long I ran, and I didn't even notice that the light in front of me was getting closer, until the fresh air rushed towards my face, the feeling of suffocation that was always oppressed suddenly disappeared, and when the arms that clamped her were loosened, Sophia Only then did I realize that I had escaped from the long underground river that can be called the speed of life and death, and returned to the ground.

Even a female man is too tired. Sophia bent down, put her hands on her knees, and gasped for breath. There was a constant rumbling sound behind her, and the tremor on the ground never stopped. She looked back and saw that the whole mountain was shaking. It collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, the underground tunnel they entered just now was completely submerged and could no longer be seen.

This meant that the monster could not be tracked through the dark passage, Sofia was relieved.

She raised her head to say something, but found that on Wilson's forehead, the scars that had just been wiped out had completely disappeared, and the forehead was as clean as before. Of course, due to the dust, the original glamorous dress might look a little dirty.

Sophia looked at him a little surprised. She always felt that Wilson was not like a mage, let alone a priest. At the speed he was running just now, he didn't look like a normal person. She was a little uncertain about the scene of the black cat turning into a human.

Wilson glanced at her and mocked, "Stupid and ignorant human woman, what do you want to say?"

Sophia: "..." I haven't said anything yet, okay?

Yannick took the initiative to solve her doubts: "Ansair and Wilson are both vampires."

Sophia's gaze became even more astonishing. Wilson glanced at it. There was no human fear or awe of vampires in the gaze of the other party, but a gaze as if looking at some kind of rare animal.

Humph, stupid humans!Wilson almost exhaled from his nostrils, he walked around Sophia impatiently, and respectfully said to the blood prince: "Your Excellency, if there is nothing else, please allow me to leave."

Although he really wanted to follow the beloved prince, he didn't even want to be the nanny of this human woman.

Unexpectedly, that stupid human woman actually said: "Wilson, thank you just now, but don't be nervous, I didn't discriminate against you."

Wilson felt something was wrong with his ears, what is discrimination?When did a human have the right to discriminate against noble blood races?This is simply ridiculous!

The stupid woman's voice continued to come over: "I was wondering why the wounds on your body healed so quickly, and now I finally know the answer, but Ans can turn into a cat, so can you?"

fed up!Wilson felt that the other party's stupid breath was almost spraying on his face, and then he would be infected with her stupid quality. For the first time, he didn't report to Ans, and he turned into a black bat directly, fanning The wings flew away.

Sophia spread her hands, a little funny and a little innocent: "I just wanted to make a joke with him, but he seems to have too much self-esteem."

Yannick also felt that Sophia was the nemesis of that young blood race. You must know that the latter didn't treat him well all the way, so Sophia made him angry with a few words, but now most of his thoughts were overwhelmed by something more Important things are occupied, and there is no time to care about the two men next to each other who don't like each other.

"It seems that the cracks in the plane are getting bigger and bigger, and the monsters are eagerly transporting the entire army here." The silver-haired priest frowned.

As the ruler of an empire, Chris has collected materials sent by various parties on his desk, so he can answer this question: "I speculate that in the monster plane, the number of low-level monsters is far beyond our imagination, but The number of high-level monsters will definitely not be more than that of humans, otherwise what we see now should be an army of high-level monsters that is bigger than flying insects."

Yannick thought for a while: "You mean, their fighting method should be a small number of high-level monsters driving a large number of low-level monsters?"

Chris: "Yes, I think they must have an ideal time node for attacking, and the time before this time point is precisely what humans use to squander."

The words of the mage in black have always hit the nail on the head. Yannick also thought of the different conflicts of interests among various countries. The third Continental Alliance conference is just around the corner. However, if we follow the previous two examples, it is estimated that there will be no progress. , Unless the Principality of Mecklen is completely annexed by monsters, it is estimated that those nobles, as well as the Holy See and the Magic Guild, will really panic.

But when that time comes, it is estimated that the cracks in the two planes will be completely torn apart, and the date when the monsters will truly invade the mainland.

"I will write a letter to the Pope right away." The silver-haired priest said.

This expedition is a major discovery for Yannick and the others. At least the blood prince is aware of the unprecedented threat of monsters to the mainland. This is no longer a conflict between the blood race and humans. No matter how powerful the blood race is, it is impossible to defeat these monsters, so cooperation is imperative, not because humans hate blood race, or blood race looks down on humans.

Although Ans has absolute power in the blood clan, he is almost in a position of saying nothing, and there are a large number of loyal descendants who are willing to go through life and death for him, but this kind of thing is not something that can be done with just a few words. Ans must go back in person Let’s make some preparations for cooperation with humans in the future. Even if the Holy See’s Yannick can’t make the decision at that time, how much bargaining chips the vampires can pay, how much they can make concessions, and what they want, these must be deployed first plan well.

And Chris is also very busy. There are still some forces opposing him in the Garter Empire. Now these forces are as irrelevant as fleas, but if monsters invade on a large scale and the entire continent falls into a state of war, any delay will be fatal. Yes, he must first nip these deadly threats in the cradle, and then contact the countries that have good relations with the Garter Empire, and discuss with them about sending troops to deal with the monster army. Seeing that the war will burn to the Garter Empire sooner or later, as he The Empire is in power and has an obligation to be prepared.

As for Yannick, while he was writing the letter, he also went to the Charlemagne Empire according to the original plan.

Although there is magic in this era, there is no science, and communication is impossible to go anywhere. Even if the nobles have the ability to get the latest news faster, for the common people, this channel is a luxury. Invasion, but they don't know where the monster has gone, but many people who have gone through the last undead war know the horror of the monster, so when they heard that the monster is coming, everyone packed up their things at home and fled to a place they thought was safe. Coupled with the refugees who really came from Mecklen, what Yanick saw when he arrived at the border of the Charlemagne Empire through the magic teleportation array was such a chaotic scene.

The Charlemagne Empire did not order the border to be closed, so civilians could still enter the empire. The border cities were several times more lively than usual, and there were panicked crowds everywhere. This sentiment gradually infected the local residents, making those who originally thought that their country was very The people of the safe Charlemagne Empire also became nervous.

As the largest country on the mainland, the Charlemagne Empire played an iron-blooded and generous style. It not only sent heavy troops to garrison the border, but also invited a large number of mages and priests to sit in the town to prevent the army of monsters from attacking.

Those priests were the subordinates of Hutchison, bishop of the Charlemagne Empire. Yannick had met them a few times and was quite familiar with them. After they met Yannick, the cardinal archbishop, they couldn't help complaining to him about the mages He and local nobles bully people, look down on them, and refuse to cooperate. I hope Yannick can help them out.

Of course Yannick didn't do that, because in his view, this was basically a situation in which all three parties wanted to compete for leadership, but none of them would submit to the other.

If the Third Continental Union Conference does not clarify these matters, the future of mankind is estimated to have no future.

If the Holy See, nobles, and mages are all unwilling to take the lead, how can those unarmed civilians resist the invasion of monsters?

Looking at the scene in front of him, the silver-haired priest was a little worried. He felt that the entire continent needed a breakthrough to stimulate the current predicament and truly unite mankind.

But what exactly is that breach?

At the same time that Yannick arrived at the imperial capital, Dantonio also arrived at the imperial capital of the Charlemagne Empire.

The mental outlook of this young mage is completely different from before. Since he traveled to the mainland alone, his outlook on life has undergone a great change. Many depressed thoughts before have been swept away. According to the introduction, after being accepted as a student by Saint Grema, he devoted himself to the study of magic.

But now that he came to the capital of Charlemagne, he was also ordered by his teacher, and the saint of France, Grema, asked him to bring a letter to the emperor Alfonso VIII of the empire.

When he came, D'Antonio didn't deliberately bypass the Principality of Mecklen, and even went to check the front line invaded by monsters, and found that the speed of monster invasion was much faster than he imagined. He remembered what the teacher said, and even more He felt that this war was imminent. If it wasn't because of the teacher's entrustment, he almost wanted to stay on the front line and help resist the monster army.

"Danttonio?" An uncertain voice came from behind, but the familiar tone made D'Antonio slightly shocked. He turned around and immediately saw the face that had haunted him so many times.

"Lily?!" However, instead of being excited, his heart was completely cold like a basin of ice water poured down from his head.

The author has something to say: the scene where you expect rivals to be jealous when they meet does not happen because the occasion is not right, but when Yannick becomes Pope, he will definitely scramble for allegiance...
