Chapter 419 The Turning Point of the Times (5k)

The light of dawn, this is something that Roja should not see.

As a great pass connecting two mountain ranges, Tucker Fortress can almost be seen as an artificial mountain, as one of the gateways to the east, its enormous scale is in direct contrast to the tall city walls.

For the knights who rushed to their feet after a night of raids, there should be a dark fortress in front of them. The brilliance of dawn may gild it with a layer of gold, but it will never enter people's sight.

But today, the light has arrived, and at the same time, it brings incomprehensible shock and fear.

Under the brilliance of dawn, Roja and the members of the Knights saw an unforgettable scene in their lifetimes. The Tucker Fortress, which stood on the eastern frontier for hundreds of years, disappeared like this.

Yes, not being breached, not being destroyed, but direct, physical disappearance.

In front of Roja and others, there was nothing, the giants connecting the left and right mountains disappeared out of thin air, and the only thing left was the mountain pass leading to the endless Tucker Plain.

The moment he saw this scene, Roja's brain went blank in an instant, and the huge impact made the boy's eyes widen, and the name of one of the [Six Calamities] crossed his mind, and he finally understood its meaning.

[Hidden Mist], this is the name of the monster who confronted him for a long time last night, and it is also one of the six major disasters handed down from ancient times. There is almost no record about [Hidden Mist], but I know that its activation is silent , will completely erase everything.

In the past, Roja regarded it as a destruction similar to that of the Wind Caller, but today, Roja finally understands the true meaning of this record, and understands why there is almost no record of this terrifying disaster.

Because everything was swallowed up by it without a sound.

The Tucker fortress disappeared, and it was completely erased as if it was dragged into the secret realm and hidden by the gods. Its disappearance was not because of defeat. To be precise, I am afraid that the people in the fortress have never fought at all.

Once the large-scale defensive curse is activated, it will affect the magic element of the entire area, and Roja cannot be aware of it, and there are no traces of arrows or attack spells nearby, which means that it was peaceful here last night.

Everyone in the Tucker Fortress was swallowed up by the [Hidden Mist] and left this world without being aware of it, and they were busy with their own affairs even before they left. For them, last night was nothing. It is a rather special weather.

The creepy feeling climbed up the boy's back, which also allowed him to roughly guess the ability of this terrifying monster - to devour space silently.

"How, how is it possible, I'm dreaming?"

"Fortress, where's the fortress?"

"Ha, ha, ha ha..."

The voices of the knights behind them kept coming, some people were talking to themselves in a daze, some people felt that they were in a dream, and some people's spirits began to gradually collapse in front of the incomprehensible reality.

After witnessing the absurd scene where hundreds of thousands of people disappeared without a trace, people who could not accept the facts showed various reactions, and Roja understood these reactions very well, because his thoughts had also been to the limit of pressure.

This time, the [Hidden Mist] devoured not only the Xiongguan Fortress, which had been built to its current size for hundreds of years, but also the tens of thousands of elites of the teaching nation stationed in it. Even Prince Cain, the first-in-line heir to the Holy Nation, is in this fortress!

This is a catastrophe, a catastrophe that could lead to the disintegration of the Patriarchate.

Politics, economy, military, the most important elements of a country, were almost irreparably hit in this disaster, and for the entire human world, the absence of the Tucker fortress is even more alien to people. The attack opened a door, and the moat has since become a thoroughfare.

Today will definitely be recorded in the annals of history. As a turning point in the fate of mankind, there may be no peace in the East after that, and a turbulent era will begin today.

Thinking of the consequences of this unprecedented drastic change, Roja felt as if his brain was burning, and the only thing that supported him in maintaining his emotions was the hope from Noelle.

Noelle, should not be in this fortress, this is Roja's judgment based on various circumstances.

It was mentioned in Prince Cain's letter that Noelle had improved after reading his letter. The letter was written by Roja more than two months ago, reporting the victory of the Challenger Cup. Since that letter After the letter, Roja never wrote anything again, which is why he rushed here in such a hurry.

In theory, a letter can't maintain Noelle's situation. With the arrival of the peak of the bloodline reaction, she will definitely go to the depths of the plain. On the other hand, Roja also has the ability to prove that Noelle is still with him. Evidence of being in the same world.

The black-haired boy trembled and touched his waist, pulled out the holy white short blade, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the feather-like lines on it, and Roja's mood finally calmed down a little bit.

The short blade of the saint, this is the holy weapon that Roja and Noelle shared. Due to the fit of the blood, it has many other functions, one of which is to be able to feel each other's breath, and Now, although weak, Roja can indeed vaguely feel the presence of the girl.

"Still, still..."

The boy who was talking to himself calmed down his rapid breathing and forced himself to calm down. After experiencing countless critical moments, Roja has long understood the importance of a calm head. Noelle, who is in disaster, is waiting for him, and he must Handle everything as quickly as possible and get to her side as soon as possible.

The young man who thinks of this touches his forehead

The head pondered for a moment, and then red light burned on the body, and the huge skeleton suddenly rose to the ground in the explosion of the mantra, and the suffocating pressure shocked everyone present.

"Have you had enough trouble?"

Looking back at the knights who used to be disciplined, but now they are all on the verge of collapse, the black-haired boy asked sharply, his golden pupils flickered, his eyes were majestic and sharp, and the knights who looked at him were shocked and felt to some unspeakable oppression.

Under the double coercion of Grendal and Roja, the Knights returned to silence for a while. The boy turned around when he saw this, his eyes swept over everyone and said:

"There was an accident at Fort Tucker. I know it's hard for you to accept it, but don't forget what you do, and don't forget your position in this incident!"

"Look at your armor, swords, hands and feet, you are soldiers and survivors of this accident! I protected you last night, not to watch you cry madly here, nor to watch you escape from reality, in This is a time when the country is at stake, and I want to see you stand up, not lie down!"

At the front of the team, Roja, who was covered in huge bones, scolded the cowardice of the soldiers behind him. Under his rebuke, the knights gradually recovered, and the man with a painful face stopped talking to himself, dumbfounded. The soldiers also gradually reacted. Seeing such people, Roja's eyes moved, and he looked at the people and said again:

"What do you think happened in the Tucker Fortress? God's punishment? Shia's sin? Shit! I can tell you responsibly that we were attacked by the evil gods in the ancient times last night. This is an organized organization from a cult. , Planned attacks and conspiracies! This is a provocation against us, the Holy See, and a demonstration against Shia!"

"You are the warriors of the gods and Shia's most loyal believers! Now that the evil gods are challenging, it is time for us to stand up and defend the dignity of the gods and the human world to the death! Countless people are still behind us. , Tucker Fortress may not be lost and found again, now what you should have is not despair, but cheer up!"

In the face of these soldiers of the Holy Nation who could not accept the reality and even their beliefs collapsed, Roja not only established enemies for them, but also planted hope for them.

[Six Calamities], although it is only a tool of the mother goddess, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the evil god, and the saints who are connected with them are even more iron-clad cults, and as long as they destroy the world and civilization The thing is the denial of Shia, the ancestor of the intelligent creature with the source quality, which is beyond doubt.

For the current soldiers, they need something that can be seen and touched to let them understand the essence of the matter, otherwise chaos will continue to occur, but it is only about the loss and recovery of the Tucker Fortress, but Roja said a well-intentioned Lies, however, are enough to cheer people up.

"Yes, yes, why did the fortress disappear like this, they will definitely come back!"

"This is just a trick of the evil god! Don't fall for it! Damn cultists!"

"The news must be brought back first, and the armed forces must be strengthened."

At Roja's call, the knights who had been followers of the original goddess religion since childhood turned on a new switch, confronted reality with their own beliefs and temporarily established a spiritual pillar, and began to act under the excitement of the cult.

The team that went back to report quickly turned back, while the rest began to collect clues about everything nearby and began to build a simple base.

Although the Tucker fortress has disappeared, Yamaguchi must have a team to stand by, because this is the place where the large army must pass, and if the checkpoint is not set here, it will be difficult for the aliens to enter the plain and scattered all over the place.

The knights of a thousand people are naturally not enough to be stationed in this kind of place. If you really encounter a large tribe of aliens, it is simply a man's arm. Roja knows this, and the remaining knights also know it, but no one mentioned it. Because everyone knows that after this terrifying disaster, one's own life is no longer considered to some extent.

Behind them, there is a family, a country, the fate and future of the race, and the sudden disaster may destroy their will for a while, but after remembering those things that should be adhered to, no one can retreat, and Luo Ya, I also have to complete the tasks that I have to complete.

"Sir, are you really going?"

People came and went, and next to the station that had begun to take shape, the high-ranking officers of the Third Knights gathered together, staring solemnly at the black-haired boy in front of him, and when he heard the question of the leader of the Knights, Roja was indifferent. Nod in response.

"Well, now that Prince Cain has disappeared, Her Royal Highness is the last hope. In order to teach the country, I must go."

"..."

The short answer made a circle of men fall into silence. The rising sun was shining in all directions, but the knights in armor could not feel any warmth.

Going alone to the Tucker Plain, known as the dead place of human beings, went to the vast land to find the possible surviving Her Royal Highness. This is a crazy move to everyone, but looking at the expressionless boy, no one can Say the words to stop it, because as Roja said, it must be done in order to teach the nation.

Prince Cain left, and disappeared with the fortress of the tens of thousands of people, but Hizkrit must have an heir, and the Holy See of the original goddess cannot lose the blood of an angel. Once the royal family that unites the country appears The country is likely to fall apart under a huge disaster, and the collapse of the church state will also spread to the entire human world like a disease, causing huge panic.

No one can stop Roja, and no one dares to stop Roja, because he has already carried the country on his shoulders at this time.

, Even the hope of mankind, even if it is an almost impossible task in the eyes of the knights, they can only grit their teeth to see Roja off.

"Take my badge and go to the front line of Pender and Rose's army, and said that the Acting Lord of Akate, Roa Akart, on behalf of the Church, requested reinforcements to support the Tucker Fortress. After that, I will personally explain to the high-level officials of the two countries. Rest assured, they will act."

"And before that, all you have to do is to keep this opening, and then remember one sentence, at this time, here, there is no country, only human beings."

"grown ups......"

The knight captain who took the badge choked and stopped talking, Roja reached out and patted him on the shoulder, the black-haired boy turned his head and looked forward, turned his horse in silence, and relaxed the reins while stroking the short blade in his chest.

"Hold on until I come back, warriors of Shia, may you have a prosperous martial arts."

Leaving this sentence, the black-haired boy set off towards the unknown front, riding a horse.

-------------------------------------------------- -----

From the moment he set off, Roja knew that this was a journey that had to be completed.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Church, the only existing heir to the royal family, this special status is so important that it may even influence the future of the human world.

The current state of the Church is not as stable as it appears to be. If Noelle also had an accident after Prince Cain, then the young man is almost certain that the tiger that has been dormant for many years in the Eric family will jump out and lead the way. The ambitions with ghosts and the villains who see the wind and the rudder embezzle the power of the royal family that is severely damaged.

Under the righteousness of fighting against the aliens, they will not rebel directly, but with the end of Heizkert, the Church will become a chaotic world divided by heroes, until the death of Holy See John, a former jihad hero, the war will blow up completely.

At that time, Hizkrit has disappeared and the alliance no longer exists. I am afraid that the Akate family will confront Eric, a former enemy. The Holy See should still support the Akate family, and Eric is behind the cult. Group, this battle of good and evil will completely destroy all existing order, no matter what the outcome is.

Under the internal and external troubles, no one can guarantee the survival of human beings. Once the aliens invade on a large scale like the previous four times, the Holy See that has lost the leadership of the angel blood and the chaos of the human world will no longer be able to resist stubbornly.

These are the conclusions that Roja can draw with a little conjecture. It is a heavy future that can never be made a reality, but for the current teenager, these are not what he cares about the most. At this time, Roja has only one thought in his mind. Something that sent chills down his spine just thinking about it.

That is Noelle, and it may disappear.

It has been a few days since the peak of Noelle's bloodline. The bloodline in the girl's body was reluctantly maintained by her own will. At this time, the Tucker Fortress disappeared, and the life and death of Kain, the father, was unknown. For the girl in the middle, it was almost a devastating blow.

Whether Noelle already knew about the accident in the Tucker Fortress, Roja is not clear, if she did not witness it, it would be fine, as long as she hides this incident and passes the peak, Noelle can turn the corner, But if the girl sees it...

Looking at the endless plain ahead, Roja galloped all the way under the vague guidance of the short blade of the saint, but what the young man saw next made his face even more solemn.

After a few hours of rushing, Roja found that different colors began to appear on the plain, and as the distance approached and the stench came to his face, a scene like a hell drawing began to show in front of the boy.

The corpse mountain is not an adjective, but a corpse mountain in the noun sense.

It was a hill made up of hundreds of xenogeneic corpses superimposed on each other. The fishy smell and putrid stench persisted for thousands of meters. It was so strong that it was disgusting. , crows and vultures hovering in the sky, this surreal scene is like a grotesque work of art, which deeply shocked Roja's heart.

Staring blankly at everything in the distance, Roja's heart gradually fell to the bottom. He hurriedly inspected a few incomplete and fragmented corpses, feeling the familiar magic power on them and his face gradually paled.

It's really her.

Witnessing the cruel methods of shredding the corpse, the young man could not compare the person who did this with the kind and righteous girl in his memory, but Roja knew intellectually that this was ironclad proof.

After standing in this hell for a while, the teenager continued to follow the sensory tracking of the holy artifact. As he continued to advance, similar scenes appeared one after another. Until dusk, Roja had already seen the hills of three corpses.

Under the setting sun, the young man walking forward was covered with a layer of red light like blood, and in his arms, the aura on the sacred artifact became more and more intense.

At the same time, at the top of the hills of flesh and blood in the distance, the girl with the stretched light wings slowly raised her head and looked to the west with a blank expression in the sea of ​​blood and corpses.
