And when this eunuch, who seemed to be completely unaware but whose clothes were almost soaked, walked backwards with difficulty. A murmur came from the smoke on the rockery indoors again: "It's such a pity that the ancient one that the empire found so easily has not yet fully awakened."
"During the excavation and search for ancient species in the royal records, only a few were successfully found? If it weren't for the invasion of the Sealanders, the imperial royal family would not even know that the Carlo family had secretly found and hid them. The existence of 'Storm Goz'..."
"My August." At this time, an ethereal female voice full of charm and infinite attachment sounded: "Don't you have a concubine? Do you have the grace and blessing of the great Earth Mother? There are also many loyal blood descendants. With the Royal Court Knights? Why care about the mere King of Knights?"
As the sound of the female voice passed by, the vegetation that seemed to be dying after being vigorously stimulated regained its vitality and flourished. However, the next moment, the female voice seemed to be suddenly strangled by some force and stopped abruptly. August spoke up:
"You are not allowed to look down upon him! This Knight King is completely different from any ancient species or ancient beings and their blood descendants known to the empire, or even all knight inheritances; he can fight and fight without restrictions at any time and anywhere. The right to use it for a price; and no one knows its origin yet."
"It is said that when he first appeared on the battlefield of the kingdom, he was just an ordinary person with outstanding hands; but as he rose in the war, he became more and more powerful, just like the legendary red apostle who was born for war under the glory of God. Every battle strengthens him."
"Anyone who despises him has paid a heavy price and even lost everything he owns. Frosa, even if you were the beloved children and dependents of the ancient Earth Mother, how could you still be in the Black Forest or even outside Italy?" , how much of the power of the Earth Mother will continue to be exerted?"
"There are even legends that he can draw power and bless others by hunting down the abnormal creatures and dark tribes born on the continent during the changes in the celestial sphere; so in the name of August, I will never allow anyone to Acting without authorization becomes the reason to start an extraordinary war."
"At least, until the empire accumulates enough mysterious power, it will never allow any adventurous behavior on its own initiative; there are many enemies inside and outside the empire, and the King of Knights is not the only one, but he is the most special one." said At this point, August slowed down his tone:
"It is your duty and the priestly group's duty to keep an eye on the Holy See in the Holy City, who seems to be getting more and more restless. Of course, although the purple-clad bishops in the Cardinal Hall seem to have their own ideas, the empire still needs the church to appease people's hearts. , and with the help of the power of the oath-keeping knights."
At the same time, on the top of Mount Cassino in the southwest outside the city of Rome, the royal monastery and palace that was originally the site of the ancient temple of Apollo and Cupid was also amidst the sound of heavy gates rising suddenly; Welcoming several beautifully decorated palace carriages that had come from afar.
Under the silent and solemn scrutiny of the armored guards on the towers, walls, and among the flowers and trees, they marched into the inner courtyard and finally stopped outside the small side door of the main building of the palace. Immediately after, several fair and plump women wearing cloaks stepped out of these carriages.
The robes and headdresses of these women are all exquisite, and their movements are full of pampering and nobility. However, they can't hide the uneasiness on their faces, because they are all female relatives related to the royal family and have exclusive titles of ladies in the inner court; but because their husbands, I came here because of my father and brother.
Just to fulfill some kind of ancient obligations and responsibilities that only exist in historical records; as the small door opened, a tall guard whose whole body was covered tightly with black stainless steel armor was revealed; he silently led the way. These ladies of the inner court go deep into the inner world.
Finally, they stopped in front of a heavy stone door that went deep into the ground; as the guard pulled the mechanism on the wall, the door engraved with a ferocious Medusa relief burst open with a dull friction sound; revealing a heavy An ancient hall with hanging curtains and dim lights.
Even the heavy perfume and ointment that hit his face couldn't hide the faint smell of decay and the stench of withered flesh and blood. In an instant, a young lady vomited with tears streaming down her face; while several other ladies could not help but look embarrassed and frightened.
Because, at the end of the hall in front of you, behind the heavy curtains, there seems to be an unusually tall black human figure sitting cross-legged; however, around this human figure, there are also many naked female bodies lying on their knees, like mountains of flesh surrounding them. Here, this seemingly lifeless human form.
"Please let me go back, I still have a daughter waiting for me." At this moment, the young lady cried and begged: "I...I seem to be pregnant; I am no longer suitable to fulfill ancient and sacred obligations. Yes." However, what responded to her was the carved stone door slamming shut.
And, from the abdominal cavity of the tall black humanoid with many mutilated and shriveled places, the end of the organs quietly snaked up; dragging down and pulling these noble ladies of the inner court in the year of pregnancy one by one into the depths of the curtain. place; turned into fleeting screams and whines...
On the Latin Island/Principality, time has come to the second week of occupation by the Royal Army. The institutional resistance under the principality system has long been wiped out; only some corner areas are left, where people are still struggling with the servant army summoned by the local people, fighting in scattered and trapped beasts;
However, the expected imperial troops from the Two Sicilies or Italy have yet to show up offshore. Even the specially designed clippers that ventured to the coast of the Italian peninsula and conducted reconnaissance along the coastline failed to detect and find traces of the Western Empire's navy.
Therefore, Jiang Tian, as the supreme military commander and lord, also temporarily separated from most of the troops where his formation was located and appeared outside a remote canyon on the seaside. And in his hand was a girl holding a parasol, wearing a rose-colored dress with lace, and a pink butterfly knot in her hair.
It is the adopted daughter of Lady Marlena (Queen Mariano) and the concubine of one of the female courtiers of the dynasty; the little blood demon Teresa who is also a core member of the Bureau of Abnormalities and has long served as a living human radar. I saw her pressing her slender fingers on her smooth forehead and thinking for a moment.
Then she pointed out the corners at the opening of the canyon where groups of living creatures lurked. At the next moment, the silent attack array was led by special attack knights armed with long and short firearms and large shields and axes, followed by a hunting team with light armor and blades, followed by armed monks holding rare objects and sacred weapons;
In the blink of an eye, they entered the originally silent valley mouth; the next moment, it was like pouring hot oil on cold water; in an instant, there were fierce roars, whines, and battle cries, as well as the discharge and throwing of firearms. The fierce roar of explosives resounded throughout the canyon in an instant.
Then, Jiang Tian saw a dozen big horned monsters with gray-scaled lizard bodies and bipedal walking flying out of the stone wall at the mouth of the valley. He was then hit by the chasing shotguns and the stone wall that exploded with debris. The whole body was covered in blood and whining and rolled down, or was pierced by flying axes, spears, and steel spears.
Only a few managed to escape from the valley, and then they were swept past by the chain bombs and bullets fired from the front, and became fragmented or blocked in several sections. Immediately afterwards, there were some deformed dog-headed dwarfs less than 1 meter tall. They were driven in panic and suddenly fell from the cliff at any time.
He was smashed against the rocks and rock walls until his flesh and blood became bloody. Suddenly, the entire exit of the valley was enveloped in the strong smell of firearms and flesh and blood. And such intense movement seemed to disturb some other beings hidden deep in the canyon.
After a while, a small and sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the canyon; then it turned into a group of strange-shaped birds flying out, and where these big birds passed, it was like scraping an invisible... The air blade flew, and the dust flew and rustled on the stone wall, leaving many white spots.
"Sure enough, after cleaning up the attached aliens, the rumored human-faced monster bird appeared." As Jiang Tian sighed softly: the special attack knights and kingdom soldiers who were originally ambushing on the mountain walls and rock tops on both sides of the valley entrance suddenly lifted He opened the cover to appear and ignited the preset explosives.
In an instant, large pieces of rock debris, iron slag and other objects were splashed out from both sides of these flying and circling flocks of birds through directional blasting; they bombarded the group that they could not dodge, hitting many human-faced monster birds in the middle, and their wings flew wildly. The wails and screams were endless, falling like leaves in the wind.
The next moment, the remaining demon bird that lowered its body and rushed out of the valley mouth was shrouded in several cross-spraying pillars of fire; it was like one fireball after another was ignited in the air, and was burned into black in an instant. The coke fell to the ground and cracked into pieces of debris that burst into bright red.
In the end, only a few extremely large fish slipped through the net and escaped the multiple traps of explosions, flames, shelling, and volleys; they escaped and ascended to the sky and headed for the seaside. Then, right in front of Jiang Tian, he was grabbed by an invisible force, slammed to the ground, and caught in a heavy iron net.
After catching the last few live samples for research on the spot, Jiang Tian took Teresa's little hand, surrounded by many knights and soldiers, and continued towards the depths of the valley along the temporarily cleared ground. Marched; and sporadically killed some strange creatures.
During this short leisure time, he led a group of carefully selected subordinates to travel through most parts of the island; he killed and exterminated one group after another, entrenched and active in the wilderness and mountains, all kinds of The aberrant beasts and new alien species also collected a lot of free energy.
And the human-faced demon bird in this canyon is one of them. Finally, following the source of the strong odor and the piles of discarded bones on the ground, Jiang Tian came to the end of the deep canyon, jumped up with Teresa in his arms, and landed on a huge high ground. Inside the cave.
