Chapter 65: The End of the Dark Day (VIII)
The cheers of the Beastmen and Norscans drowned out the screams of women and children, and the sound of collapsing buildings could be heard everywhere.
The charred flesh and blood of Big Yurik fell to the ground. With indomitable courage, this old wolf, who was forced into a desperate situation, stubbornly bared his fangs at the enemy.
But some things cannot be changed by will.
The bright eyes dimmed little by little, and the fire in the old man's eyes also flickered as death approached.
Just like the stubborn god he was, the old man persevered and used the tendency of his body leaning forward to get closer to the God-chosen Champion.
The war hammer was heavily placed on the ground to prevent his body from falling. The old man's eager expression stiffened, and the flickering anger in his eyes gradually died out in the storm.
The big demon dodged the oncoming lizard man, and the joy in his eyes grew even brighter.
It is almost winning, and it will achieve the most generous victory. It seems that some backup plans do not need to be activated!
With the death of the last blessed individual, only Lynch was left trying to get close to the big demon. Without the protection of the ancient holy artifacts, the warriors could not stand in the chaos storm.
Lynch resolutely pushed away the fear demons that came to block him. These demons were just paper tigers and could only use inferior tricks to delay him.
While Carlos was busy dodging the dense beams of light coming from the city, Lynch pounced on the demon again.
"For the Ancient Saints!"
Under the cold-blooded creature's roar, Carlos was suddenly confused for a moment and looked towards the northeast.
In Middenheim, the old man's scattered eyes focused again.
The body that had already collapsed struggled to stand upright, and the anger in Big Yurik's eyes was as tangible as substance.
A point of white flame occupied the eyes of mortals, standing still in the storm brought by darkness.
The old man glared at the Chaos Lord who had hastily stopped the spell and remained unharmed in the explosion of the spell's backlash.
Under the latter's astonished gaze, Big Yurik used his last breath to shout out his last battle cry.
"For the Empire!"
The warhammer was ablaze with flames, and the mere existence of the blazing white flames brought endless courage and hope to people! The Chaos Lord hurriedly used his staff to parry, and the swift iron hammer fell with a strong wind. In the collision that resounded through the battlefield, the demon metal staff broke like a stick, and the flaming warhammer directly broke the warlock's neck! Big Ulric was carried forward by the force and almost fell to the ground.
The old man turned his head with difficulty and looked towards Middenheim, where half of the city had not been occupied by Chaos.
A glimmer of hope shone in his cloudy eyes. He wanted to continue fighting. The Midden people could still fight.
But no matter how hard he tried, the old man was unable to take the next breath.
The war scene in front of him gradually became blurred, and with an unyielding will, Great Yurik was taken into Yurik's hall by death.
The sudden accident disrupted Carlos's precise calculations.
The invisible demon subconsciously dodged the arc of light that came one second later, while at the same time keeping a distance from Lynch.
The future has changed dramatically, and the chaotic images have shattered the fixed past.
Carlos anxiously used the two bird heads that could see the future and the past to quickly flip through the pictures, trying to anchor the "present" scene again.
In other words, it was blind! This was on the battlefield, and it was facing a life that was difficult to kill.
Lin Qi had just landed when he climbed up again with his terrifying brute force and pounced on the big demon.
The high-density body overwhelmed the demon, and Lynch bit Carlos's left bird head hard, crushing it with his astonishing bite force.
The only remaining head of the demon let out a shrill scream, and the entire battlefield was silent for a moment.
The demon army was at a loss because of the miserable appearance of their master, and the low-level demons fell into a daze because they lost their controllers.
Lynch plucked Carlos' feathers, tore open his filthy flesh, and without stopping, bit the other bird's head.
Several hastily condensed magic spells from the military demons were thrown at him, but the low-level spells could not shake Lynch at all. Instead, they made Carlos roll in severe pain.
The big demon flapped its wings continuously, but its weak strength was useless in front of Lynch.
Carlos's suffering ended only when Lynch tore it into pieces of flesh and feathers.
The flesh and blood of the great demon turned to ashes in the burning, and this terrifying wizard was thrown back into the Chaos Demon Realm.
The vanguard demons of the Tzeentch Army spontaneously combusted due to the loss of their maintainers, and lower-level demons also turned into dust.
The cunning Carlos had failed, at least in Lynch's opinion, and its invasion of Lustria had been repelled.
The dim black sun reminded Lynch that the battle had not stopped and demons were still wreaking havoc in Lustria.
Lynch looked towards the east, where there was the largest army of cold-blooded people. If they could be liberated, the threats faced by the cities would not be a big deal.
Lynch picked up the Scepter of Kotego and approached the Moon City. The door to the Star Road opened for him.
The lizardmen bowed to Lynch, and the skin lizards also cheered for the warrior who saved the city.
Crossing the city's defenses, Lynch arrived at the temple area.
The Temple of Kotego in the east of the city was lit up by the sun, and the Kotego Scepter was excited, trembling in Lynch's hand.
The western Temple of Tibok also lit up with a dreamy brilliance, the arrival of the ancient holy artifacts enhanced their power.
In the central square of the city, Lynch, relying on the two items of the ancient saints on him, mobilized a group of spirit lizards and giant lizards, as well as thousands of Thoros.
He led dozens of triceratops and slowly moved towards the Echo City, among which there was a special creature.
It called itself Tito Ikau, a young sjenki, chief Skink Priest of the Temple of Tipok.
The moment Lynch heard the name, he made up his mind to bring it to the battlefield of Echo City instead of staying in Taraxland and doing nothing.
This is the yet-to-be-revealed Great Stargazer, the most powerful Skink Priest of the future! The next two days of marching proved that it indeed possessed some foresight.
Every night, Lynch can see the stars more clearly than usual.
Perhaps the mysterious Tipok favored the Skinks, and Lynch learned about the attacks planned by some demons before they even occurred.
The result is self-evident. Lynch only set up a simple ambush and exiled the leading army demon, and achieved victory without any casualties.
Tito Ikao described the next most critical raid on Echo City.
The snake god will attack Zahuitak, and the cold-blooded will have a brief advantage. If they can seize the opportunity to launch a decisive charge, the demon will be completely expelled! Lynch is ready to seize this opportunity, the army's march slowed down, and the lizardmen quietly waited for the prophet's prompt.
During the march, the cold-blooded army rescued several lizardman settlements that were surrounded by demons, and more and more skin lizard hunters gathered in the army.
From time to time, lone Lizardmen would join with wild beasts, the avengers of the destroyed camps.
The huge army made Lynch feel a little overwhelmed. He was not a natural commander, but fortunately, there was no need for overly complicated tactics at the moment.
When the black sun rose again, also near the City of Echo, Lynch waited for Tito Ika's prophecy.
