◎A total of 41 red dots◎
With that clear and trembling "Mom", everyone was shocked again.
Their eyes lingered on the bloody creature until someone in the crowd shouted again, "Frigga! She's Frigga!"
The whole audience gasped, and some people's faces even turned extremely pale.
Frigga, Frigga, who on the Saya continent doesn't know Frigga? The first generation of Harman orcs who first brought human priest skills to the demon race, transforming and promoting them. She brought light and strength to the demon race, and ignited the burning hope of a rivalry with humanity.
Frigga, her name was worthy of being branded into the hearts of countless demons, but why... was such a great hero standing before them, nearly covered in blood?!
The beacon of hope was crumbling in people's hearts, and their eyes were always fixed on this creature that was completely inhuman.
Shock, trembling, disbelief...all sorts of complicated emotions were projected onto the rooftop, like a bunch of poisoned arrows, heading straight for the chests of the people on the stage.
Collins and Winry stood to the left and right of Frigga. Collins' expression remained unmoved, and his voice carried the intimidating power that only a king could possess. "Yes, she is Frigga. The first generation of the Harman Orcs of the Demon Tribe. She is the Demon Goddess worthy of all of our remembrance. She cannot be desecrated, and she will live forever on the continent."
"That's right! Frigga is our God of War. Without her, we wouldn't be who we are today!"
Some people in the crowd raised their fists and cheered.
"Yes, she saved the lives of the demons and the future of the entire continent!"
"We should pass on her spirit from generation to generation!"
One person started it, and the others followed suit.
For a moment the audience became noisy again.
Just then.
"Frigga is not to be desecrated, so why did you turn her into what she is now?!" someone asked loudly.
"She should be enjoying her old age in the capital. What did you traitors do to her?"
"A traitor is a traitor. Nothing I say will change your evil deeds!"
"Kill them! Avenge Frigga!"
"Drive them away! The Saye Continent cannot tolerate these traitors!"
The harsh sound scraped against her body like a blade. Wen Li clenched her fists and turned her head to look at Collins. However, the latter was not nervous at all, and even looked more confident.
He looked down calmly, said nothing, and just gently pushed Frigga beside him.
Frigga, who had lost her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "They are not traitors. They saved me."
The shouts below suddenly died down. Although she couldn't see, she could feel the people's gazes. "They risked their lives to cross the sea and rescued me from the Bloody Island."
"I am like this because of Odin."
Odin...!
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
This is the real name of the current Saye.
However, after he takes office, "Odin" will no longer be allowed to be called. This is a respect for all previous Sayas, and also an unwritten agreement that has been slowly passed down through history.
Anyone who dares to call him by his name in public will be considered disrespectful and will be punished by death by slow slicing!
Sure enough, someone in the audience immediately objected.
Although there weren't many people, the noise was harsh.
Frigga smiled, slowly raised her hands, and said in her old yet powerful voice, "See? Do you see? This is my palm. The bones of all five fingers are broken, and they are only held together by the skin like duck webs. Otherwise, how could you tell that this was once a pair of hands?"
"And my arms, my chest, my back, my thighs—there's not a single piece of skin on my body that's intact. No, I shouldn't even use the word 'skin,' because I no longer have it. Thirty-seven years ago, I was on the lingchi stake, my flesh scraped off piece by piece."
"My eyes were gouged out alive, my nose was cut off, and I was covered in blood. I was thrown onto the Bloody Island."
"I was in excruciating pain. I fought tooth and nail to stay alive. I drank wolf urine and ate the flesh of venomous snakes. Every day I endured immense physical and psychological pain. I thought about dying countless times, but I also woke up countless times from nightmares, and after waking up, my mind told me that I couldn't die."
"If I die, who will tell you the truth?"
The audience was completely silent.
Those who had previously stood on the high ground and made accusations were also shocked and shut up.
No one could describe what this feeling was. Just hearing the words was enough to make one faint from the pain, but Frigga endured every blow. Not only did she endure the excruciating pain of being skinned alive and having her eyes gouged out, she even survived after being thrown onto the horrific Bloody Island!
What a strong willpower!
But what had she done wrong to deserve Odin's cruel punishment?
Frigga chuckled softly, seemingly responding to the surprised looks from the audience: "You want to know what crime I've committed?"
Everyone looked up to her.
"I'm not guilty."
"He is the guilty one, Odin."
She turned slightly to the side and pointed at Odin, who was tied up behind her.
"In order to transform the demons into his war machine, he began secretly purging the rebels over forty years ago. Among them were your fathers, brothers, and your closest friends. They were imprisoned in concentration camps and thrown into the flames in batches."
"And what I have to do is to seal your memories."
"I'll make you forget the people who were taken away. I'll hypnotize you into thinking it was just a dream, a distant and vague dream."
"I refuse. Because what Odin did has gone beyond my principles."
"He captured my daughter and threatened me that if I didn't do what he wanted, she would be the next one thrown into the fire."
"I was in so much pain that I finally compromised."
"But after I had done all this, Odin caught me and put me on the torture platform."
"You all saw what happened next," Frigga said, stroking her uneven face. "He can't tolerate even a speck of sand in his eyes, and no one is an exception."
After she finished speaking, she slowly opened her arms, the blood color looked particularly dazzling under the reflection of the sky. She muttered something, and a strange power burst out from her body, splitting into strands of thread and flying towards the demons below the stage.
The door to sealed memories was opened.
The images that had flashed through my mind finally became reality.
The young demons were in agony, covering their faces and crying uncontrollably.
It turns out that they are not without a father. Their father has always been in their memory, and they are never alone.
There were all kinds of people in the audience, and Collins knew that their goal had been achieved.
The tied-up Odin was panicked. He endured the pain of his wounds and grabbed Collins, begging for mercy.
"Collins, my good boy Collins, forgive me, I repent for my past sins!"
"Save me, and I can give you whatever wealth and glory you desire!"
"Collins, speak up, Collins!"
Before Collins could answer, a black arrow suddenly shot up from the stage and hit him in the chest with a "whoosh".
Winry recognized this arrow. It was the black arrow of Frigga's daughter Harlin.
Then the angry people surged up like a tide. They surrounded Odin, punching and kicking him, venting their anger that had been concealed for decades.
Odin collapsed in agony.
The flag of the capital was also quickly replaced.
A new demon flag was born. Doge stood on the city wall, looking at the rising hope in the capital with satisfaction.
Winry felt that Collins had changed.
He is no longer as silent and forbearing as before. Instead, his every move exudes the aura of a leader, making people unable to help but take a second look at him.
"Come on, Winry, no matter how many times you look at his photo, he won't look at yours." Arthur walked into the office with a pile of documents, but he didn't stop joking.
He could see how much Harman disliked Collins before and how obsessed he was with him now.
Women, ugh, change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book.
"Damn Arthur, you're just like a follower. What? Do you think Collins will look at you with respect if you hang around the office every day?" Wen Li rolled her eyes and complained harshly.
I don't know who was the one who used to say "Collins is a useless piece of shit," but now he's always hanging around like a little tail.
"Will someone die if you two don't quarrel?" Bank came over and punched each of them. "Also, Collins is now Sayye, don't call him by his name in front of outsiders."
As he was speaking, suddenly, Doc opened the door of the room with a hurried look on his face.
"Where's Collins?" he asked.
Winry: "He went to the temple. Is there anything wrong?"
Dog: "Something's happening. The orcs at the seaside outpost have sent word that a large number of humans are heading this way."
The sea is far more dangerous than the land.
Birds of prey of unknown species were circling overhead, and vicious fish with sharp teeth were wandering under the boat. To make matters worse, they encountered three thunderstorms during their escape.
The strong wind came suddenly and rolled the sea water higher than the walls of the royal city.
A huge wave hit and their boat turned over.
The players who had learned swimming and diving skills barely escaped, struggling on the sea for a while and finally got back to the boat, while those who had not learned these skills all suffered.
Seeing the IDs turn gray one by one, the players could do nothing but lament in their hearts.
The players hiding in the royal city also learned about the plight of the players at sea through word of mouth. On the one hand, they expressed deep sympathy, and on the other hand, they kept feeling fortunate for their choices.
"Fortunately, we defended the royal city, otherwise we would have died in the sea like them."
"Even if they didn't die in the sea, they would still be in despair when they reached the Saya Continent."
"That's why the Royal City is the players' strongest support. Even the Corrupted Elf King couldn't break through the city gates. This place must be the safest!"
The words fell.
With a loud bang!
Countless red dots suddenly appeared at the southeast gate of the royal city map. The red dots were not moving fast, but their number was truly astonishing.
One red dot represents 10 monsters.
The players counted with trembling fingers, a total of... 41 red dots.
A total of 410 alien monsters!
