Green Tide

"We entered the Black Mist together, followed a group of Black Mist followers in the depths, and found a place where pollution crystals were made. There were a lot of spherical devices there. We originally planned to destroy it, but we didn't expect it to be a trap. There were a lot of pollution beasts and Black Mist followers hiding inside."

The girl's face turned pale. The number of enemies was far beyond their imagination. This was a complete capture and kill of the bloodline. It was not until they stepped into the deepest part that they found something wrong.

"Those people and mutants have power far beyond imagination. We also found a flower there, and there was a woman in the flower. She just opened her eyes, and the highest-level bloodline in the team was killed instantly. We had to fight and retreat, and all the bloodline were injured. At the critical moment, we met a bloodline team led by Sevich. He agreed to help us, on the condition that he would control the town."

"We used three Nail Towns in exchange for their help. But during the retreat, the bloodline of the Owen family was infected with a strange disease. Once they used their abilities, their bodies would burn, and many people were burned. This was too much for the Owen family, so they had to withdraw from the competition and transferred the remaining Nail Towns to our family. In return, we must help them with all our strength next time. Although the Brainworm Family later took away some more, most of them are still safe,"

If there was a choice, the noble bloodline would probably be more willing to sacrifice collectively in exchange for the trial to continue. Mason found it difficult to understand the other party's choice to directly withdraw from the trial. In his opinion, the matter was far from being so serious, unless in the eyes of the Owen family, this was more important than the Twelve Round Table Trial.

I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the end of this trial to find out the truth. Their early departure left a valuable legacy, which Mason accepted without hesitation. After understanding the whole story, he finalized the details. The red-haired young man stood up and took the initiative to extend his hand to the other party.

“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

Hearing this, Leah felt relieved and smiled as though she had blossomed.

“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

With the help of the Hart family, Mason quickly formed a alliance with the remaining neutral families and formed an alliance with Garcia to form the two major forces on the border.

The border of the Black Mist suddenly became a place of conflict between the two sides. Although no war had begun, the conflict between the two sides became more and more intense. Under the leadership of each family, all the towns began to operate nervously, continuously sending bloodline people into the Black Mist, using substantial military achievements as a provocation to the other side.

Mason always felt something was wrong. Everything was developing too fast, as if there was an invisible hand behind it. But the situation was beyond human control, and no one wanted to fall behind in this situation. He had no choice but to intensify patrols and repeatedly reminded the Luo family to be careful.

Even so, the entire Black Mist defense line was still restless. More and more teams began to search the Black Mist area on a large scale, bringing back not only spoils of war, but also a lot of intelligence about the Black Mist believers.

One research base after another was exposed, and the Black Mist followers suffered heavy casualties. However, these people were fearless and rushed to continue to defend the border, unwilling to leave no matter how many of their companions died.

The merit that came to them confused the eyes of all the nobles, and many families even mobilized the entire town to go deep into the fog. Anyway, they had their blood relatives nearby to take care of them, so they were not afraid of getting lost in the fog.

The green-eyed noble standing on the city wall stared at the teams of bloodline warriors stepping out of the town, with no expression on his face. Sevitch standing next to him had a grim expression and looked very upset.

As if he could see what he was thinking, Albert spoke gently: "We all want real victory, and it is worth sacrificing some money for it."

Looking at the bloodline members disappearing in the black mist, Sevitch said in a deep voice: "This is exactly the purpose of our cooperation. I hope your judgment is correct, Aibo."

"Of course, my information cannot be wrong."

The young nobleman raised his lips, revealing a rare hint of excitement.

"The East, South, and North are all controlled by the Black Mist Council, but the Elder Margarita alone can control all the Black Mist believers in the West. She has dealt with many beings in the Black Mist and has been recognized by the [Green Mist Tree]. She is the closest thing to a monster among the bloodline people. Every once in a while, Margarita will split into a group of power. As long as we capture this group of power, we can get information about the [Green Mist Tree]."

[Green Mist Tree], this name seems beautiful, but it actually refers to the five SSS-level monsters in the black mist.

The [Green Mist Tree] symbolizes life and plants.

The Skeleton Lord is a symbol of death and destruction.

The Lord of the Deep Sea, symbolizing the ocean and chaos.

The [Queen of Insects] symbolizes joy and evil.

And the [Cloud Lord] who has always followed the Monster Lord.

Their territory is vast and all monsters are subject to them. But their whereabouts are mysterious, hiding in the deepest part of the fog, and they are extremely difficult to find.

This level of monsters has transformed from being polluted to being the source of pollution. As long as they exist, they will pollute the environment where they are, thus giving rise to a large number of polluted beasts. Humans have always wanted to find them and eliminate them.

The gray-eyed brainworm's eyes flickered. "If we can really find the location of the [Green Mist Tree], the Black Mist counterattack plan will have an extra safeguard. The Earl has already discovered the location of the [Queen of Insects]. These two SSS-level monsters together have occupied two-fifths of the land area. If we eliminate one of them, it will be enough to buy more breathing space for those who come after us."

"Yes, that's why I chose to cooperate with you. Except for the brain worm, other bloodline families will not agree with my plan."

Except for the outliers like the Luo family, most of the noble bloodline people insist on the belief that humans are supreme, and use positive emotions as a bond to maintain sobriety. Once you listen to his plan, it is difficult not to get in the way because of your soft heart. Only the brainworm bloodline people are different. As long as they are sure that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, they will be the best execution machines.

Sevich was silent for a moment, and finally asked, "At that time, why did you know about the attack on the Owen family?"

Even the brainworms that share information cannot be as foresighted as the other party, so it is difficult for him not to think too much. Facing the sharp eyes of the bloodline, Ai Bo smiled helplessly: "Everything I do is the same as my teacher, for the continuation of mankind. Sevich, I will not do anything to lead mankind to destruction."

The brainworm said nothing. Aibo softened his tone and said, "You helped me win the first trial, and I kept my promise and kicked the Owen family out of the third trial. Isn't this a good deal? If you have any doubts, I can also temporarily copy the brainworm bloodline. With the mental network, you can easily see my abnormality."

Sevich looked at him steadily, and after a while he nodded slightly: "I will personally supervise your spiritual network. After the Twelve Round Table Trial is over, you can replace it yourself."

After saying this, the two fell silent again and looked into the distance.

In an underground laboratory deep in the dark fog.

This laboratory is much larger than most people imagine, and Black Mist believers in black robes come and go in a hurry.

From the outside, it's hard to tell that this is underground. Plants hang down from the walls, blooming beautiful and fragrant flowers. The lights above never go out, and the overall decoration is simple and elegant, full of thriving vitality.

Whenever these Black Mist followers passed by a certain passage, they would cast respectful glances into the heavily guarded passage. This passage led directly to the largest laboratory in the laboratory. A mature and steady female researcher was concentrating on her research.

Without any need to move her hands, countless plants hanging from the air did the work for her. Her eyes fell on the rat and the fire-breathing vines in front of her. The two spontaneously merged with each other under external force, and finally formed a vine-tailed fire-breathing rat.

There was a slightly reserved knock on the door, and Margarita said, "Come in."

Judging from her appearance, she was no more than 20 years old, with a gentle temperament, which made it impossible to associate her with her identity. The person in charge walked into the house, bowed his head in shame and respect, and said: "I am sorry to disappoint your expectations, Lady Margarita. The Noble Association has found almost all the research institutes we set up, and several crystal supply sites have also been destroyed. The losses are extremely heavy."

"Don't worry about it. It's not your fault. The lab can be rebuilt. As long as the people are fine, it's fine."

"You are so tolerant!"

The person in charge was deeply moved. Margarita smiled, and the plants in the entire laboratory exuded vitality, making people feel energetic.

"I have other things to do, so I will be away for a while. As for the crystals and the experimental samples, they are almost done. Let's teach them a lesson. My power will cooperate with you."

"yes!"

The person in charge took the order and left. Margarita looked at the fire rat she had just made and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"There are some interesting guys recently. Oleus, right? He is so active that he can make those people in the south suffer such a big loss. He must be able to make a good experiment. Do you want to go and see him..."

She thought about it and gave up the idea with some regret: "Forget it, the Gravekeeper is still waiting for me. Let the children do it this time."

Soft and slender fingers gently stroked the fire rat's head. The originally small monster squeaked and swelled up, and in an instant it became a huge monster that occupied half of the room. Its eyes became smart, and it bowed its head to the human in front of it and made a cry of attachment. Margarita smiled slightly, and with her consciousness, countless fusion monsters awakened in the laboratory. They grew in the sac and were born to be controlled by Margarita.

The mother's whispers echoed softly in their minds: [Go, prove your strength to me, and plunder more raw materials for me.]

The Black Mist believers released it in a well-trained manner, and the originally restless experimental subjects were like a well-trained army, moving towards their destination along the underground tunnels dug by the plant roots.

Under the eastern hills, something seemed to be moving on the flat ground. Soon, tender new shoots crawled out of the soil. They had been dormant for a long time, shook off the loose soil on their bodies, and crawled away like living things. All the plants they encountered were assimilated by them.

They first attacked those bloodline members who went too deep into the black mist. The hidden powers in different bases resonated with each other, generating green waves like the sea and tides, swallowing everything gently and silently.

The bloodline people were horrified when they saw this scene and tried to flee in a hurry, but only a few of them managed to escape the pursuit of the green waves. Following their guidance, the green waves surged towards the defense line of the human border. The first batch of defenders who received the news were waiting here in a serious battle line, and the three major families in the west were the fastest to arrive. One after another, the city defense machinery was transported in at the fastest speed, and the elderly, the weak, women and children had been evacuated.

Sally stood on the city wall and said solemnly, "If we can't hold on here any longer, we'll retreat immediately. The next line of defense is being prepared. There's no need to fight to the death."

Dan scratched his ears and said, "Okay, okay, I heard you. This isn't your first time here. Stop talking nonsense and let's get started."

"... Brat, I'm not talking to just you."

The Bloodline said with a hint of meaning. He glanced at the red-haired young man not far away, who was staring at the green torrent in the distance without blinking, with a hint of solemnity and excitement in the depths of his dark golden pupils.

Sari was a little worried: "The most precious resource is always the bloodline. Even if we retreat now, we can still come back after cleaning up this place. Don't be too reluctant to fight."

"It's like it doesn't depend on us, it depends on them."

The red-haired young man's voice came with the wind, a little erratic. There was a loud noise, and the ground was pushed up by countless roots. The plant's body grew rapidly, and a faint light appeared on the plump white flesh. A large number of experimental samples rushed out of it. The bell-shaped flower buds faced the city wall, and several rows of sharp teeth could be vaguely seen when they opened and closed.

I just said it casually at first, but I didn't expect this thing to really run around everywhere. Mason looked at this familiar visitor in surprise, but quickly collected his thoughts.

He held the will-o'-the-wisp and wiped it across his wrist. A white light suddenly appeared where the blood was. The thorny long sword that had not been seen for a long time hummed slightly, as if it was excited.

As if smelling the frenzied murderous aura, every cell in this body could not help but become excited. Mason closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he was already frivolous and lazy like a swordsman. He looked at the vast army of monsters in front of him and murmured, "I learned a truth on the Eastern battlefield."

Dan cooperated and said, "What truth?"

The young man pressed his unhealed wrist against the nearest city defense cannon and said, "The truth is within the cannon's range. Don't hesitate, fire now."

Sally: “….”

Scarlet blood crawled along the barrel, quickly spreading over the swollen flesh. The entire city defense cannon emitted a low roar from the inside, automatically aiming at the front of the green tide. Before the gunner could fire, the shell had already hit the monster in the distance accurately. "Boom!" The sound of explosion blew up a piece of empty space.

The middle-aged bloodline waved his hands with gritted teeth: "Can you stop being more like a commander than me?"

The sound of cannons rose and fell, and the flames were bright. With a surge of emotion, Oleus put on the [Healing Feather] on himself. A rustling whisper sounded in his ears, and the wound healed perfectly immediately.

[Physical Strength Potion], [Endurance Potion], [Recovery Potion].

[Dark Gun] Holy Armor, Holy Armor of Protective Coat.

Evil red lines climbed along the hem of his clothes, and bright red thorns covered the long sword and pearl bracelet. Sensing the danger coming from here, the monster flying from the sky attacked the young man without hesitation. He was bitten to death by Nidhogg who was guarding in the air.

The monsters kept coming like a tide, climbing up the city wall under the gunfire. The red-haired young man had a hint of madness in his eyes. He rushed forward without hesitation, just like a knight in the legend who protected his companions.

Yes, who says that only those holding sword and shield are knights?

Thirty-two bullets were fired at the snake-like monster's head and exploded. Oleus deftly shuttled among the monsters, killing one child with one sword. Blood rolled down the blade of the sword and was greedily absorbed by the bright red lines. Some knights were dazzling, some were frank and sincere, and some were -

Dan cut off the enemy's neck, and caught a glimpse of the opponent's passing figure out of the corner of his eye. The corners of his mouth twitched as he murmured.

“What a pervert.”
