Chapter 213 Necessary
Seeing Lant's obedient performance, Mios nodded with satisfaction.
"You just arrived at the Abyss today and are not familiar with the demons yet. It is not realistic to ask you to lead them to attack the Orc Forest now."
After that, Mios thought for a moment and said, "Three days."
"Three days later, the gap will fall into the abyss on time."
…
The land of abyss.
857 was just about to adjust the progress back to the previous position when he was unexpectedly confronted by Lu Yi who opened his eyes on the bed.
The ball of light instantly exploded, and shrank back into the system space the next second.
Lu Yi no longer had the heart to continue watching the drama. He closed his eyes, turned over, and prepared to fall asleep.
There will be a tough battle in a few days, and he must deal with it in the best condition.
A dreamless night.
The abyss was foggy and cold in the early morning, and everything outside the window was as white as snow.
Lu Yi retracted his gaze, held a small and transparent magic stone, held his breath and injected the little light magic power left in his body.
The magic stone flickered several times, and then continued to emit a faint light.
Although he was in the abyss, separated from the continent of Isaiah by an immeasurable distance, Callisto still had a special way to get in touch with the two.
"Rant?"
A familiar voice came from the other side.
"Teacher Callisto." Lu Yi responded, "I will lead these Abyss Demons to attack the Orc Forest the day after tomorrow..."
He couldn't intervene for the time being, and once the three-day deadline was up, he was powerless to save the situation.
Isaiah continent, danger!
"I know, Rand, I was there last night too, wasn't I?"
Callisto's voice was still calm, as if the two were not discussing some major issue of life and death of the orcs, but trivial matters such as what to eat for lunch.
Lu Yi was really unsure of Callisto's thoughts, so he asked straight to the point, "Teacher, what plans do you have?"
He asked directly, and Callisto answered simply.
"If you are referring only to the matter of attacking back to the Orc Forest, then I can tell you very clearly that there is no plan."
Lu Yi's heart tightened, and he asked, "I don't understand, Teacher, what do you mean by no plan? Are we just going to let the demons destroy the orcs and let the abyss enter the Isaiah continent?"
Once a war starts, it can never be stopped easily.
Callisto did not answer immediately. Lu Yi stared at the glowing magic stone, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind at that moment.
But none of the ideas were good for the orcs.
The magic stone finally emitted Callisto's voice again, but his words were what Lu Yi didn't want to hear.
"You know, Rant, we are facing a god."
"The gap between gods and other creatures is far from being made up by anything. Even if there is a trace of the remaining power of the God of Light, we cannot really kill a god in a short period of time."
"As for the so-called God-killing Plan, at this stage we can only severely injure and seal him, and then slowly destroy him completely in the future."
Lu Yi was silent for a moment, then asked softly: "...Do the orcs have to die?"
"This is a necessary sacrifice for the entire continent of Isaiah." Callisto said slowly but with extraordinary firmness.
"Compared to dying with the entire Isaiah continent, this is already the most optimistic sacrifice."
"I understand, teacher."
"I have everything ready, you just need to follow that person's plan.
“This may be a difficult road, but Rand, you have to believe that there is light ahead and we are not far from victory.”
…
Three days passed in a flash.
Lu Yi stood in front of the stone temple, with a large group of monsters behind him, and Arthur and Balzi standing on his left and right.
The abyss was still as dark and silent as dead water, except that the dead water was slowly rippling with waves today. The strange sky was surging silently, and the already ominous blue sun and red moon were emitting an even more dazzling light.
The world here is divided.
The sun and moon hanging high overhead were exceptionally bright, but everything above the horizon was dim. The sand and fog were both red, but what one could sense was a bone-chilling cold.
Lu Yi gathered the thick dark scarf around his neck. In the dim light, his long dark brown hair scattered around his cheeks was almost invisible, making him look strangely cold and distant.
Arthur coughed twice, pretending to be calm and retracting his glance at the other person, but his eyes always lingered on him again.
He has been trying to please this human race a lot these past two days, but no matter whether Arthur is hard or soft, this human race just ignores him and treats him like air.
Arthur no longer cared after losing face so many times. He became more and more courageous and did not care about his identity as the devil. He followed Rant all day long, and his eyes became more and more explicit.
He wanted to say something to attract Rant's attention, but was beaten to it by Balz, who could not hide his excitement on the other side.
"The gap is about to take shape." said Barz.
Most of Lu Yi's face was covered by the scarf, revealing only a pair of strange-colored eyes that showed no emotion.
"Where are the other demons?"
Before Balz could speak, Arthur replied, "It will be too much trouble to rush over. By then, there will be gaps in the other two territories. We can surround the Orc Forest from three directions and capture them all in one fell swoop!"
"Is that so... the gap is controllable?" Lu Yi asked casually.
"Of course the gap is uncontrollable, but it's another matter if a god intervenes."
Yes, there are Mios everywhere.
“Here it comes!!”
Lu Yi immediately looked up at the location where the magic power fluctuations were most intense.
Suddenly, black spots as big as fists appeared in the air.
These stains had no specific shape, just a black that was so deep that one could not see the depth. The black black domineeringly swallowed up all the light that refracted in, and then emitted waves of ominous echoes.
As the ripples spread, the black spot began to gradually expand, from the size of a fist to a circle with a radius of nearly three meters.
A circular gap took shape, and the monsters behind Lu Yi began to move.
"Your Highness Lant, we can go in now!" Barz urged excitedly.
Lu Yi nodded and said, "Go in."
Perhaps in the future, the continent of Isaiah will no longer have the Orc Forest.
…
…
A few days ago, somewhere in a remote forest.
"...Do you know what you just said?" Thor said in disbelief.
"Of course I know." Xia said firmly, "Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"
"Isn't it? This is ridiculous. Gaps only appear in remote areas near the border of Isaiah. Although the Orc Forest is not in the center of Isaiah, it is impossible for a gap to form there!"
Xia immediately sneered and said, "So you are ignorant and foolish. Do you think that gods can also be viewed with common sense?"
"...Although I don't know what information you have, I think even the gods who are high above cannot act recklessly as they please. Otherwise, the Isaiah continent would have been destroyed long ago under the control of a certain evil god."
"Then how do you know that the current Isaiah continent is not heading towards destruction under the manipulation of some evil god?" Xia asked back.
Thor was speechless and said helplessly: "I can't argue with you, you are just sophistry!"
"You just can't find an excuse to refute me."
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it - after all, even if you do believe it, you can't change it. I should have known that you are actually a complete coward."
Thor's cheeks turned red due to his blunt ridicule, and he tried hard to hold back his words: "...Don't say that, Xia, don't say that to me!"
"…Even if what you said is true, the Holy See will definitely not sit idly by!"
"The Holy See?" Xia laughed out loud as if she had heard some ridiculous joke. "You actually still hope that the Holy See can turn the situation around?"
"If the Holy See can produce a Dark Son today, it will produce another Dark Saint tomorrow! Who knows if the Holy See is still clean?"
He has seen through it thoroughly. To put it bluntly, the Holy See of Light is nothing but a chaotic place that harbors filth and corruption.
Xia chuckled, "Just wait, sooner or later, Lant will lead the demons to exterminate all the beastmen in Senling!"
--Then you will know that I have been right all along.
…
"Your Majesty, there has been nothing unusual in the patrols over the past few days, and the same goes for the additional patrols," the guards reported.
Paso leaned back in his chair, looking a little tired, and nodded slightly.
"Did you receive any letters or voice-recording magic stones from there later?"
The guard shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, no. The spies over there sent back news that since the letter was delivered, it has been unusually quiet over there these past few days. All the orcs have huddled in the forest and have not even walked around the surrounding towns."
Paso opened his half-closed eyes, his expression solemn, "You go down first."
"yes."
Three days ago, Paso suddenly received a letter from Sol.
Paso could tell who wrote the handwriting at a glance, and the chaotic expressions between the lines were very much in Sol's style.
But what Paso cared about most was the content of the letter.
——A gap appeared and the demons emerged, which meant a burial ground. The Orc Forest will be attacked soon, and the one leading the demons is the rebel who rebelled against the Church, the Dark Saint Lanter.
Each of these events was a major event that could cause a huge uproar, and Paso had to devote all his energy to deal with them.
Although Paso looked down on Thor, he still understood his half-brother well. Thor was definitely not the kind of person who would joke about the important affairs of the Orcs without knowing the seriousness of the matter.
Since he dared to take the risk to send him this letter, he must have mastered some important information.
Paso knew that Thor rescued Xia, and he also knew that Xia could use the power of darkness.
What is said in the letter is most likely true.
As the king of the beastmen, he has to be on guard.
But how to prevent it is an extremely difficult problem.
The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, so their situation is very passive.
Paso has urgently mobilized the orcs' forces in the past few days, and the entire tribe has been under martial law. He has even requested assistance from the Holy See many times, all in order to deal with this attack that may come at any time.
...The one leading the demons is the Dark Saint Lant.
Paso looked out the window at the overcast sky and whispered, "It's going to rain."
I don’t know when the rain will start or stop.
“King! Something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!!”
There was a sudden loud knock on the door, accompanied by the rapid shouting of the guards.
Paso, who was dozing with his chin propped up and his eyes closed, was suddenly awakened. He stood up abruptly and walked quickly to the door.
He opened the door and frowned, "Calm down! What happened?"
The sweaty guard couldn't calm down and said in a trembling voice, "King! The patrol team has an urgent report. There are black spots that look like gaps on the east, south and north sides!!"
Paso's expression suddenly changed. "Gap? Are you sure it's the gap that connects to the Abyss?"
The guard swallowed hard, "It's confirmed! Several elders around the gap have personally confirmed that it is the gap that connects to the abyss!!"
"King, what should we do now?" the guard asked fearfully.
"Go! Take me to the nearest gap!"
When the two orcs arrived at the nearest gap, the black hole had expanded to one meter wide.
Paso had seen with his own eyes the gap that connected to the abyss in Luo Saiqiao. The dark gap silently connected to another strange world.
So far, once a gap appears, there is no way to stop it from taking shape.
"Your Majesty!" Several elders guarding the gap hurried forward.
Without time to exchange pleasantries, Paso frowned and asked, "Have you given instructions for everything that was prepared?"
The leading elder nodded and said, "The soldiers and warriors of the tribe are scattered in various gaps and are ready for battle. The remaining orcs have moved to the territory of the Church. At the same time, we have also sent messages to the Church and the Magic Association asking for help."
"...Where is the burial place?" Paso asked in a low voice.
"It has been strictly guarded as you wish."
"good……"
"King! News from the north--"
Another guard rushed up to the crowd, panting.
"The northern gap is completely open! Monsters are already pouring into the Orc Forest..."
"And the leader, the one leading... is Lanter!!"
The author has something to say:
In the next chapter, new love versus old love (bushi), fighting is great!
