The dark sky was no longer silent, but became noisy. All kinds of ghosts were dancing and wandering in the sky, with dark blue bodies and flames flickering, and there were whistling sounds in the wind.
When Luo Xi'er and Xixina entered the carriage and sat down, with the sound of bones turning and colliding, the carriage roof gradually moved and opened backwards, and then the seats began to rise.
Finally, Luo Xier and Xixina sat at a height of about three meters, and could easily overlook the scenery on the street.
"We at the Temple Academy have a tradition of holding night parades before games. This is not only to boost morale, but also to allow everyone in the academy to get to know each other and know what kind of strength and team they have," explained Cecilia.
Since the students of Temple Academy generally like quietness and do not communicate much in normal times, how to make everyone familiar with each other and unite is a problem that needs to be solved, and night tours solve this problem very well.
Students will enhance their understanding during the night tour and become aware of the various existences of their own side. At the same time, this collective activity will greatly boost their self-confidence and make their will more resolute in battle.
As Cecilia finished her words, figures began to emerge from all directions of the street. Among them were skeletons, monks in black robes, undead with missing limbs, and fully armed black knights. Some held torches, some wielded longswords, and some held glowing staffs. There were all sorts of props, but the most common were the purple wisteria flowers.
As the carriage moved forward, these figures slowly moved closer, some at the front of the team, some protecting the sides, and some following behind.
These figures were not crowded with each other. They all lined up slowly and walked together with the carriage.
Several figures wearing bird-beak masks strummed their guitars, beat the small drums on the skeleton frames, and plucked the violins on their shoulders. A soothing prelude to music began to play. The others in the procession joined in the chorus, and soon more people emerged from the street to join the grand singing and night parade.
If the earth at night were originally pitch black, these figures were like tiny sparks of fire, slowly merging into the central "river." A long golden river of fire and music flowed slowly across the earth, slowly parading along the long main road within the academy.
Luo Xier leaned against the black iron guardrail of the car, observing the crowds and figures around her. The bustle and noise of music and singing gradually enveloped her. Unconsciously, she was also infected by the enthusiastic mood and began to softly sing the common song.
You will return again in the dark night.
[The whole dynasty celebrates together]
[Earth, Ocean, Sky]
[Shining under the new moon]
[I will wear a black robe and hold a purple vine flower]
[Crossing the Styx between life and death, hugging you again]
I love you so much
[Mercury Moon, Wisteria Banner]
The entire academy was immersed in a sea of enthusiasm, with golden torches and blue flames shining against each other. The vast crowd and the flowing "long river" made the usually quiet Temple Academy the most glorious place in the entire Emenas tonight.
....
After the team had circled the academy completely, the carriage finally stopped in the central square of the academy.
The middle of the square was deliberately cleared, and the accompanying crowd slowly moved to both sides of the spacious area and stood quietly.
Cecilia gently held Luo Xier's hand and spoke in her ear.
"Look, it's about to start."
Luo Xier blinked. So this was just the beginning? She turned her head to the side and saw the sound of a steady clatter of horse hooves echoing down the street. A group of knights in purple cloaks appeared.
These knights, armed with lances and shields, clad in heavy black armor. Their iron hooves trotted out a terrifyingly orderly pace as they rode through the empty streets, making a clanging sound of armor. Most astonishingly, none of them had heads on their shoulders, making them appear eerie yet powerful.
"Did you see the wisteria swallowtail flag hanging on the lance? It was specially hung to commemorate the Mercury Dynasty." Cecilia finally began to explain.
The purple knights in the field were closely arranged, their spears and shields advancing forward like a city wall. The strength of each headless knight was above Sequence 5, and there were nearly 300 such people in the team.
"Although they are not students in school, they can still fight for us in the competition." Sais Cecilia. This is the tactic of the Undead Order since ancient times, crossing the boundary between life and death and summoning fighting forces from the other side of the Styx.
When this group of knights walked across the square, a new team appeared behind them. They were large chariots made of hideous bones, with pale fangs pointing forward and wheels nearly five meters high. As these chariots entered the square, the giant animal bone in the center spewed out blue and burning flames.
Even though they were dozens of meters away, Luo Xier could still feel the burning sensation brought by the drifting sparks while standing in the carriage. It was not only the fire of the world, but also the fire that burned the soul.
Faced with such a highly anticipated moment, Luo Xier suppressed her curiosity and turned her gaze to the back of the team. It was a sea of white bones, with densely packed skeleton warriors holding spears. The long poles were as dense as a rainforest, stacked layer upon layer. Although these skeletons were not strong individually, they were probably at the strength of Sequence 2, and there were several thousand of them.
However, this was not the end. When this sea of bones walked to the center of the square, a strange ripple swept past, and these skeletons also changed and moved, instantly forming a dense hollow wall like a hedgehog. The skeletons were piled up, and the wall made of bones was divided into three levels, one layer higher than the other, and behind it also bloomed a series of Muye meteors. These whistling "meteors" streaked across the night sky and landed in the center of the bone wall. They were masked necromancers, waving their staffs in the air, and the rings hanging in them made a clear wind chime sound.
