Ever since receiving the warning from the Beautiful Celestial Spirit, William IV has been hoping to reach a tacit agreement to stop the war with the opposing Kingdom of the United Knights of Curado. The reason why there is no direct peace is because the western states have been asking for help, but Hohenzollern is too busy to take care of itself, and it is even less likely to be free to support them. trout
In particular, the team of the Kingdom of Moquin, the opponent of the western countries, is said to be stronger than the Kingdom of Curado United Knights. Among them is a team of White Moon Knights known as the elite of the kingdom, who have easily defeated the ace troops of the western countries many times.
However, Beames could not read back William IV's proposal. After all, in his opinion, if the nightmare monsters can weaken Hohenzollern's strength, then although they may have a small advantage in the early stage, there may be a chance for him to directly break through William IV's defense line. After all, William IV, who was a true legend in his own life, could only compete with him by relying on his country's power and the strange Forbidden Demon Colossus.
When this situation is already critical, the heir to the throne is still needed to hold him back, which shows that the full-line attack of the Kurado United Knight Kingdom should basically contain the legendary power of Hohenzollern. This means that Hohenzollern's The war potential is almost exhausted.
Normally, Bemes's judgment is not wrong. In his opinion, nightmare monsters are terrifying. For beings who are not familiar with their laws, they often have extremely strong "kill at first sight" abilities. Moreover, there are large numbers of these monsters, which often form a siege. , but in fact, if you deal with them more, you will know that these monsters may seem strange, but in fact their behavior patterns are very rigid, and they are not even as smart as ordinary wild animals. As long as you are familiar with it and have the corresponding methods, it will be easier to kill 10,000 nightmare monsters than 10,000 pigs.
After all, pigs still know how to be afraid and will run away randomly. Even if they struggle desperately, one or two people cannot hold them down. Nightmare monsters are these retarded things, their bodies are between reality and reality, and they are very convenient for killing. But if someone sets a trap, they will swarm in and die faster than anyone else.
The most terrifying thing about them is that they are highly infiltrated and corrupted, and they have almost absolute lethality against ordinary people who do not have the corresponding culture to protect them. Ordinary people without relevant concepts and vigilance in the culture are very easy to be infected without knowing it, and this pollution spreads very quickly. At the same time, because their bodies are between virtual and real, they can come and go freely without targeted means. The lowest level nightmare monster can easily slaughter a large town.
This was also the anxiety of William IV. Whether it was for profit or the kindness and justice in his heart, he did not want the civilians of the empire to suffer too much loss. trout
However, Curado united with the troops of the Kingdom of Knights to contain all the legions in the northern part of the empire. Most of the main legions were mobilized and are now confined to the north. Even if they were to deal with Capeblanca and defend against the invading Cesano tribe cavalry, Most of the eastern regiments deployed for possible sneak attacks were unable to cope with the situation across the country. Bad news came like snowflakes, and large areas of towns were reduced to dead areas overnight.
The infiltration and extermination of the nightmare monsters made it more difficult for Hohenzollern to defend and the damage was greater. Seeing the empire falling into a state of constant blood loss, William IV finally made up his mind and proposed a shocking plan. Shockingly, he suggested abandoning the northern part of the empire and, if necessary, the eastern parts as well.
In his opinion, at least if these places are given over to the colonizing legions of wizards, ordinary people may have a hard time, but after all, they can survive, and there may be a chance to return to the embrace of the empire in the future. If this continues, the empire will not only defend the empire sooner or later. Without living in these places, ordinary civilians will die too many lives at the hands of nightmare monsters, which is a real loss of both people and land.
By shrinking their forces, they will have enough to defend the main food supply area in the south, and retain the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack area in the west as strategic depth and a last resort.
However, this proposal was too bold and would hurt the feelings of the empire and its people too much. Under the circumstances, no one dared to agree to this proposal, not even his father William III could force it forward. For William IV, although he made this suggestion, he also understood the resistance and problems involved, and because of his inner luck, he did not insist on it all the time, so he let this proposal quietly bury itself in the hearts of the top leaders of the King's Council.
And this also misses the only chance to save the empire with a certain possibility.
As time went by, the situation in the empire and even the entire continent deteriorated rapidly, and even William III's personal guards began to run out of food. The rear of the northern Xinjiang defense line was already overrun with nightmare monsters. There were no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, bones were exposed in the wild, and the teams transporting supplies suffered heavy losses every time. Just when William III was about to make up his mind to retreat at all costs, the bad news came. trout
The guardian twins were ambushed within the empire, the beautiful star spirit fell on the spot, and the righteous star spirit was corrupted and fell!
William III blocked the news as soon as he learned of the bad news, and then immediately arranged for the entire defense line to retreat in sequence as the crown prince and the commander-in-chief of the north. He even arranged for people to conduct a tactical attack on the Kingdom of Curado United Knights for the purpose of hiding it. force. After he himself appointed a very prestigious old general as the temporary commander, he led an elite group and two legendary stars to speed towards the imperial capital at night.
However, Star Drop cannot be concealed. After a little probing, Bemes saw through the deception, and the orderly retreat of the northern defense line turned into a rout. The old general died on the spot, and the only remaining legend died while cutting off the rear for the troops.
But for William IV, he no longer cared at that time.
Because when he rushed back to the empire, the glory was no longer there, only ruins remained.
The once white and bright, majestic city walls have collapsed, and the bustling streets that were once bustling with people are filled with fragments of corpses and carrion crows. The center of the entire empire, the beautiful model city of mainland civilization, is his home that he cares about endlessly. Gone.
When the guardian twins died and fell, he felt extremely uneasy, so he ran desperately, but in the end he failed to catch up. trout
In the entire city, no one survived.
William frantically slaughtered the nightmare monsters still lingering here, and rushed into the palace with red eyes. What he saw at first sight was the headless corpse of his wife who had turned into a dragon body. She was holding two small corpses in her arms. , she tried to escape but was decapitated in the air and fell here, leaving traces of blood everywhere. His father was left with only an angry head, which fell under the throne. Only his mother's arms that were torn off alive remained in place, and the rest of the body disappeared.
His mysterious body fell to his knees, his throat was choked with sobs and blood and tears shed from his eyes, but everything was irreversible.
He truly became Wilhelm IV, but by this time the Hohenzollern Empire was essentially gone.
For the next three years, he was like a stray dog. Although there are many people around him supporting him and surrounding him, they share the same determination and hatred, but everything is a feeble struggle.
Even if the Unama Colonial Legion later realized something was wrong with these nightmare monsters, it would be too late. The wizards could only retreat to the frosty land and barely defend themselves. Most of Watudo became a paradise for nightmare monsters.
For William IV, there were fewer and fewer familiar people, more and more nightmare monsters, and the stars in the sky fell one after another. In the end, there were almost no living people left. Because Hohenzollern has essentially become an area occupied by nightmare monsters, and they don't need living people. trout
At the same time, because of fighting these monsters for a long time, the other party became more and more familiar with them, so that there were fewer and fewer people around him, but they also became more and more familiar with these monsters, and began to recognize that they were different from ordinary nightmare monsters. their differences.
Twisted monsters often show disgusting, perverted and twisted appearances that go against nature. Undead monsters are mostly full of stench, rotting flesh and flesh, and are covered in maggots. Nightmare monsters are basically ugly and difficult for normal creatures to appreciate. They have four arms, Strange forms such as headless, six-eyed, half-human and half-insect are commonplace. Although they are not that disgusting, you will never identify them as normal creatures.
But the nightmare monsters that invaded the Starlight Land are no longer so "ugly".
Except for gods or dragons, who have an aesthetic appreciation for all things, the aesthetics of creatures in the world are often very different. For example, the beautiful elves who are recognized by many of the same race may be ugly in the eyes of dwarves. In the eyes of devils, the reverse-jointed sheep's hooves are necessary for sex, but in the eyes of humans, they will only ask what they are.
However, most of these new nightmare monsters still look the same, but they are no longer so objectionable, as if other creatures have begun to have the same aesthetic as these nightmares.
This has led to a decrease in people's vigilance, which has increased the corrupting ability of the nightmares. This is why the empire's resistance is so vulnerable. In this case, the people and even ordinary soldiers become increasingly vulnerable.
Another point is that these new nightmare monsters are more flexible in their overall behavior mechanism. Although ordinary monsters are still dull, they are much better than those in the records. To put it simply and directly, the average intelligence attribute is 2 points more. This is not just one or two accidental elite individuals, but a common phenomenon. It can be said to be a change like the ascension of the ethnic group. trout
You must know that the number of nightmare monsters is extremely large. If this shortcoming in intelligence or appearance can be compensated even a little bit, it will be a great improvement for the group.
The Unama Colonial Legion suffered a big loss because of this. They underestimated the enemy and dealt with it based on past experience. Therefore, once they encountered a full encounter, they suffered a huge loss and retreated thousands of miles.
Moreover, because the effect of past experience was greatly reduced, the wizards who accompanied the army at the middle and lower levels suffered heavy losses, which eventually led to instability in the rear, so all the first-mover advantages in the material plane were lost.
After all, based on the experience of the Colonial Legion, the main way to deal with this kind of virtual and real monsters is to rely on the methods of wizards. The troops of the Knight Kingdom are mainly used to attack fortresses and fight against monsters such as demons that are good at physical combat. Unexpectedly, the wizards were defeated by their old rivals. The car was overturned.
And as time passed, William also learned that the nightmare lords who attacked the Starlight Land this time were also very fierce, suppressing the stars and wizards at the same time. The wizards not only have support behind them, but also have a way out, but the protoss are isolated and helpless, and there is no way to escape. It can be said that the fall of the world is almost doomed.
William IV learned the news from Bemes. Because of the few remaining people of the Hohenzollern Empire, he had to escort them to the Frost Land. At least, this way he could leave a little blood for the empire. Two legends who had withdrawn from the north and returned to the imperial capital with him, one died in the subsequent battle with the nightmares, and the other died after embarking on the journey to find the help of the protoss. William IV did not even have the ability to find his cause of death.
William IV's grief, anger and despair, all his efforts and struggles, are just the most common scenes of this infinite cosmic ring. In this vast universe, there are too many joys and sorrows, and the ups and downs, but when it comes to a certain person, it is so tragic, and it is unbearable pain in life. trout
He disbanded the last team and asked them to guard the remaining empire survivors, hoping not to make any more unnecessary sacrifices.
But the pain in my heart was difficult to bury and face, so I could only hide in the secret hall. He once tried to seek some help here, but in the situation he faced, unless the legendary warlord took action, he had to be the best among them, because he could not change the situation of the legendary battlefield of the protoss. How would the actual outcome of the mortal war be? It doesn't mean much, and one of the unspoken rules here in the Secret Hall is that it is relatively exclusive of this kind of thing. Although it is not absolute, he can't get the chips to break the rules.
In these years of never-ending fighting, he often drained his body of vitality. Although his combat effectiveness could still be maintained, his foundation was not rising but declining, and even the originally clear path to legend was blurred.
William IV put the last bottle of Wattudo Flame safely back into the package. He stood up unsteadily and was about to get two bottles of running water supplied by the hall, but he heard a burst of enthusiasm in the originally noisy hall. It suddenly became a lot quieter. Then, I heard someone shouting loudly.
"coming!"
Then someone clapped, and finally most of the warlords in the entire hall gradually clapped.
William IV looked back and saw a very young man coming out of the Eternal Corridor. Even if he doesn't pay much attention to it now, he still has to sigh that he is too young, and then sigh that he has an enviable talent. trout
The Secret Hall normally only sends invitations to warlords who have a level 10 warlord profession or whose total level is above level 17, and no one is playing tricks on them, so this is definitely not their first time here.
The opponent is obviously a human being. Judging from the freshness of life aura and appearance, he is very young. Regardless of his overall level of 17 or above at this age, he is an absolute genius among humans. If he is a level 10 warlord, he is simply destined. , with a talent that even he, the "protagonist in the first half of his life", would be ashamed of.
However, even this would not cause such a big fuss. After all, he knew only too well how proud the Overseers were. Even a man like him who was once called a moral model could occasionally find it difficult to conceal this pride. If he wanted so many people present to applaud at the same time, this guy must have an Overseer. We all have to be moved by this achievement.
I saw that the young man was also a little surprised by this difficult scene, and then he quickly reacted and made a fist gesture to thank everyone. The young man had just greeted the familiar warlord named Turuta when suddenly, a square opening appeared out of thin air above the eastern part of the hall, and then a staircase descended. At the same time, the bullet-shaped light screens above the hall began to have substantial gazes descending.
A burly man with a majestic and ferocious aura walked down. William IV recognized him. He was a warlord with dragon blood. He had been active in the Secret Hall for many years. He had not seen him in this hall for a long time. Pass the other party, because this long guest in the hall named Tava has become a legendary warlord.
After the young man followed the Tava Governor up, William IV silently listened to the excited discussions of the people next to him. Gossip, the nature of intelligent life, the Governors are not exempt from it.
Then the more he heard, the more shocked he became. From the "Shame of the Overseer" to the tenth-level Overseer of the Black Iron level, from the country boy who had just started to transcend the Middle-earth universe to the current Anti-Mage of the Silver level, he even killed a legendary captain of the Abyss Legion. Devil, William IV was a little unbelievable. trout
There is no one in this hall who doesn’t know about anti-mage, and no one doesn’t know what the requirements are to become an anti-mage. If we talk about opportunities and not difficulties, then the silver-level killing of legendary demons - I can only say Whatever the macho man who became the Anti-Mage does is reasonable.
Even though William IV was once transformed into a mighty man from heaven by the people of the empire in Hohenzollern, and faced the legend head-on at the golden level, he still had to admit Wang Yuanheng's ferocity. It is precisely because he has had similar experiences that he understands the difficulties more clearly. No matter how many external factors there are, the dangers of a mortal fighting a legend are far more dangerous than outsiders imagine.
What if there wasn’t too much risk?
Doesn’t that make the other person more awesome? Can he still be called a mortal? It should be called the reincarnation of the Lord!
Just as William IV was drinking wine and cheering up to listen to people telling Wang Yuanheng's story, suddenly the blue ball in the hall lit up, and then the hall and even the governors in various universes knew - since The mysterious series of Rondo Sphere, which was never seen again after the destruction of the Jigega universe and the disappearance of the Four-Pillar Temple, is back!
From now on, all warlords who are willing to undergo the Hero Trial can receive a gift and blessing from the Londo Orb after applying for it in the Secret Hall orb!
The atmosphere in the secret hall once again reached a climax. William IV was in the middle of it, and suddenly the haze in his heart was swept away. trout
Thinking about the stories about the silver-level anti-mage, he looked at the mellow, fragrant but nerve-numbing wine in his hand, and put it down firmly.
"Nothing in the world is completely impossible."
"It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. If you don't go all out, you will know that you can't succeed."
William IV made up his mind to participate in the Hero Trial and hit the legend, regardless of whether he had a chance or whether he could succeed. Maybe even the legendary warlord is not enough to change the protoss, but he will definitely lead the charge!
In the name of the Guangmian family, in the name of Hohenzollern, William IV von Guangmian, this time, move forward bravely, life or death!
*************************
Wang Yuanheng didn't know that there was a warlord in the secret hall who was regaining hope because of his story and the appearance of Londo's orb. trout
He originally wanted to ask Tawa when he greeted Tuluta, but he didn't expect that the other party had already been promoted to legend.
He always remembered Tava's kindness and help. He was also happy for his friend that the other party could take this crucial step so quickly.
Moreover, the purpose of his visit this time was to meet the legendary warlords. He also thought of asking Tawa, an "old Jianghu", when he got to the hall. As a result, the legendary warlords were also about to meet him, and they also asked Tawa, an old acquaintance, to come and pick him up. lead.
The timing and the characters were all just right, and the other party seemed to have been prepared for it, which made Wang Yuanheng feel a little emotional and surprised at the same time.
You must know that, with many promotions and unblockings, although the level of performance is still limited by his rank, some priorities have exceeded the scope of ordinary legends. Skills such as precognition, prophecy, and divination are difficult to use on Wang Yuanheng. It takes effect because the long river of time and space is his home field. Even if he can't roam freely because he doesn't have enough development time, he can still do it with some basic interference and utilization.
And as the two parties get closer, in this regard, Wang Yuanheng's protection can be said to be the instinct of time and space, rather than Wang Yuanheng's need to take the initiative.
As the two of them climbed up the stairs, it turned out that it was like being in a private club on Earth. The two of them walked through a small garden without taking a few steps, and then they arrived. trout
Entering a room, there were four men with different appearances sitting on scattered sofas. There was a window not far from the sofa, and Wang Yuanheng immediately noticed that as soon as he and Tawa entered the room, there were more rooms. A window!
