Chapter 312: Celebrate, cheer for the birth of a new king! (5.6k)
"Help!"
Seeing that the crusaders were in danger, the twin brothers subconsciously stood up.
"Wait a minute! They are descendants of gods after all, and they will be able to hold on for a while."
Lorne once again held down the twin brothers who were about to rush out to rescue their teammates, and looked at the battlefield with a cold gaze, his eyes twinkling faintly.
"Besides, don't you think it's a little strange?"
The twin brothers looked at each other, then looked at Lorne blankly.
"strangeness?"
"What's the meaning?"
Lorne raised his hand to his forehead and reminded him angrily.
"We are going into the mountains today to fight against the beasts. The sentry post was lost the night before. Not only were the defenders wiped out, but there were also traces of the beasts' activities on the scene. We just followed this road and came directly to the beasts. The source of the disaster is too coincidental?”
After hearing this, the two brothers subconsciously raised questions based on their past hunting experiences.
"Isn't it normal for a monster to bring its captured prey back to its lair?"
"Most of them are just animals, and it's common sense that they don't know how to hide their whereabouts."
"That's true." Lorne nodded and asked quietly, "But if their actions follow instinct, then why did we only encounter one decent attack on the way here? This is the source of the beast disaster. Why do those territorial monsters let us in so easily?"
The two brothers frowned, lost in thought.
Indeed, the resistance they encountered along the way seemed too little.
Most of the monsters I encountered before were low-level monsters, so the Chimera was barely a threat.
But you must know that when they passed through this area a few days ago, they encountered two high-level magical beasts with the divinity of Typhon, the [Divine Marked Demonic Pig] and the [Three-Headed Dragon Snake], as well as a large number of people running into the mountain road. The magic wolf and the magic pig.
Even the twin brothers, who were the sons of Zeus, almost fell into a rage because of their carelessness.
Logically speaking, the farther into the mountains they go, the stronger the monsters they encounter tend to be.
But the fact is that since the Chimera led the large wave of monsters in a round of attacks and failed, they have hardly encountered any decent opponents along the way.
It seemed that those high-level monsters were deliberately avoiding them.
Could it be that…
"These monsters are deliberately tempting us!"
"Is this a trap?"
The two brothers looked at each other and looked at Lorne in front of them in astonishment.
"It was just my suspicion at first, but now..." Lorne turned his head and looked behind him.
"There are tides of beasts approaching quickly from the north and east. It is roughly estimated that there are thousands of them!" Atalanta jumped down from the branch of the tree, her expression ugly.
"There are also those in the south and west! More!" Medea pulled up the tin stick from the ground and turned to answer, sweating slightly on her forehead.
When the twin brothers heard this, their hearts sank.
Fell into a trap!
But more doubts followed.
"How do the monsters know our route of action, and after luring us here, can they accurately carry out counter-encirclement? Aren't most of them uneducated?"
"Warcraft does not possess this kind of intelligence, but what about humans?"
Hearing Lorne's meaningful rhetorical question, the twin brothers looked at each other, their heads trembling, and chills rising in their hearts.
"Is there a traitor?"
Lorne nodded, looked at the team of crusaders who were now surrounded, and added in a deep voice.
"[That person] is not only among us, I'm afraid he is also in a high position."
"Then why didn't you tell me in advance?"
The twin brothers asked subconsciously, looking puzzled.
Lorne rolled his eyes at the two of them and asked angrily.
"There is no concrete evidence. I have been talking for a long time, but it only makes you doubtful. Do you think they will believe it?"
When the twin brothers heard this, they couldn't help scratching their heads in embarrassment. They were speechless and could only change the subject in frustration.
"who's that person?"
"Whoever behaves the most abnormally, and whoever is most eager to lead us into this place of death, is the most suspect."
Lorne replied in a deep voice, his eyes filled with meaning.
The twin brothers fell into memories. After piecing together the information, a suspicious figure gradually became clear in their minds.
But their expressions gradually became weird. Youyou looked up at someone in the team of crusaders and murmured in a low voice.
"Hippomenes?"
"No way…"
The conclusion they reached was somewhat unbelievable to them.
But if you think about it carefully, this new commander seems to be full of mystery and dissonance.
On the one hand, this man was an unknown person, but he suddenly became the commander of the team of crusaders just before setting off;
On the other hand, during the march, he seemed to be inciting the emotions in the team intentionally or unintentionally, allowing the team to make mistakes, and luring the team deeper into the encirclement.
Previously, the two brothers just put forward reasonable suggestions and were placed in front, responsible for the most dangerous path exploration. If the three of Lorne had not taken the initiative to join the team, the two brothers would have been seriously injured along the way.
Thinking about it this way, the commander's attitude was indeed a bit suspicious.
Moreover, the five of them who were responsible for exploring the path just now disappeared, and the crack in front was filled with an obvious ominous atmosphere.
In this case, even the new leader should be more vigilant and send some scouts to investigate and confirm the situation before advancing.
As a result, he directly led everyone into the dangerous zone without even thinking about it.
As for the reason for inciting the crusaders to march, it was because they were worried about the safety of the five of them...
If the commander really cared about them, why did he put them on the most dangerous front line of exploration?
But what good will this do to him?
The twin brothers, who were puzzled, gradually began to have some doubts about their own speculation when they saw Hippomenes leading the conquerors on the field to resist the attack of the beast tide.
Could it be that this is a misunderstanding?
Seeing the two brothers begin to waver, Lorne smiled and spoke.
"Whether the answer is correct or not, you will know if you try it?"
Try it?
Just as the two were wondering, they saw Atalanta on the side, jumping onto the high platform and slowly pulling the bowstring to full length.
Meanwhile, before the rift.
Facing the sudden tide of beasts, the team of conquerors who were caught off guard fell into a hard fight.
"Boom boom boom!"
Rows of spears were thrown, arrows were thrown one after another, spell bombs fell one after another, the roar of the speeding warcraft camp was heard, and dozens of magic wolves and pigs that were hit by the attack were torn apart.
However, facing the monster with thousands of heads, the achievements of the conquerors seemed insignificant.
And what's even more terrible is that these offensives that he is proud of can only deal with low- and middle-level monsters, but have little effect on the subspecies of Typhon's descendants.
Near sunset, the sharp cold wind in the wilderness makes people's cheeks hurt, and the dried blood is like paint smeared wantonly, which is full of impact.
There were mutilated corpses scattered around the team of conquerors.
They are stacked on top of each other, some from humans and some from Warcraft.
But most of the dead monsters were middle and low-level species. More than a dozen Typhon descendant subspecies stood on a high place, sealing off the surrounding areas. They seemed to be in no hurry to die personally, and kept urging the monsters below to launch round after round of attacks. Charge and consume as much magic and energy as possible on the human side.
"Roar!"
There was no time to mourn for their comrades. The monsters who had just been forced to break up their formation gathered to charge under the low roar of a white chimera.
At the same time, two tawny chimeras surrounding the white chimera also joined the formation, making the battle more difficult.
Under the high-intensity wheel battle, the hundreds of crusaders were already somewhat exhausted.
Whether the spellcasters are from the Temple of the Moon, the Hermetic Sect, the Dionysian Cult, or the Eleusinian Cult, their magic power is almost exhausted, and they really can't hold back much magic.
Meanwhile, throwing spears and bows and arrows have been exhausted.
Without the support from the rear, the divine blood warriors in front could only hold on to their spears and shields, huddled together with their comrades, relying on each other's support, stabbing forward mechanically and numbly.
However, humans are far inferior to creatures like Warcraft in terms of muscles and endurance.
Therefore, after a few rounds of mutual collision and fighting, the defensive formation that the crusaders relied on began to lose shape.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two yellow-brown chimeras, several meters high, took advantage of the situation and rushed towards them, raising their heads and knocking open the two round shields.
"Crack!"
Amidst the crisp sound of broken hands, the two divine blood warriors at the end of their crossbows vomited blood and were knocked away. Their undefended and seriously injured bodies fell backwards, fell into the group of monsters, and were trampled into pulp.
Dozens of demon wolves on the flanks saw the opportunity, their mouths were salivating, and they roared excitedly.
They immediately ran and gathered, constantly attacking the gaps in the formation opened by the Chimera at both ends. By consuming the flesh and blood of monsters and the essence of magical medicine, humans can improve their bloodline and advance themselves.
Similarly, in the process of preying on these humans with divine blood, the Warcraft itself can devour the divinity and magic power in them and reach a higher level of life.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest, is what it is.
What's more, according to the oracle, the more humans that successfully prey, the more satisfied the demon ancestors who created them will be.
If you can please the gods through these killings and sacrifices, and then get a glimpse of the Demon Ancestor, you will definitely get a more generous reward!
"Get out of here, you bastard!"
Accompanied by a rough roar, a figure as tall as a giant bear smashed into the pack of demon wolves like a cannonball. The divine power of the dark blue ocean set off huge waves of light that surged and vibrated in all directions, instantly killing the hundreds of demon wolves in front of the gap. Zhen flew out.
Under this powerful force, clouds of blood mist exploded from the bodies of the demon wolves, and the sound of shattering bones in their bodies continued to be heard, causing death and injury in a short time.
The formation of the conquerors, which was about to collapse, became stable again.
He is a saint of Dionysianism!
The heroes cast grateful glances at Polymonus, who came to the rescue.
The burly and honest-looking middle-aged man nodded, raised his hand to take the fairy food and honey wine that had a certain healing effect from his waist, threw it behind him, and pondered solemnly.
"Retreat to the camp if you lose strength. Take the time to recover. Those who can still fight form a formation and follow me! The [Beast Disaster] here is much stronger than what was mentioned in the intelligence. We must rush out immediately before it gets dark. !”
Upon hearing the Dionysian saint's proposal to retreat, the heroes, who were already at the end of their efforts, were quite moved.
"We can't leave! The source of the beast disaster is ahead. As long as we rush over and destroy this nest, we will win!"
Hippomenes immediately and righteously rejected this cowardly proposal, and in order to show his determination, he immediately pulled out his bronze dagger and rushed towards the fissure filled with red and black light.
Seeing how heroic the commander was, the divine blood heroes had no choice but to grit their teeth and keep up, trying to swim upstream in the tide of beasts and completely destroy the strange and ominous monster lair.
Is this idiot going to kill everyone? !
When Polymonus saw this, he couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and cursed angrily.
But at this point, he had no choice but to be carried by the heroes and rushed towards the rift.
As the commander of the team and the first target to emerge, Hippomenes naturally attracted the attention of a large number of Warcraft and became the priority target of their attack.
Each of the divine blood heroes subconsciously gathered towards the commander Hippomenes, trying to protect the team leader, and the formation became further scattered.
But this time, more than a dozen Typhon's descendants, who had been waiting for an opportunity at high places, finally couldn't hold back any longer. They got up and rushed towards the human camp, knocking away, tearing out, and tearing apart the desperate heroes!
"Roar!"
The Chimera King, who was covered in white hair, took the lead in jumping into the loose human camp with a low roar. The snake head spit out venom, the sheep head fired spell bombs, and the lion head burst into flames. The three heads worked together to attack the divine blood heroes. Causing large areas of destruction.
The commander Hippomenes, who was guarded in the center, was also exposed in front of the white chimera.
Upon seeing this, several divine blood heroes quickly stepped forward, raised their shields, and tried to resist the attack of the white chimera.
However, after repeated battles, their body's potential was almost drained, and all the potions they carried were consumed.
Now, even if they want to fight to the death, it is difficult to extract much power from their bodies.
Therefore, after just one encounter, they were swatted away by the white chimera with its claws.
Seeing that Commander Hippomenes was about to die under the mouth of this monster, Polymonos, the only one who could withstand the frontal impact of the high-level monster, gritted his teeth and rushed out of the array, squeezing the remaining divine power in his body to To the extreme, he raised the back of his muscled hand to meet the white giant beast that was flying towards him.
"boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, Polymonos' feet plowed two ravines on the ground that were tens of meters long. He was pushed all the way to the front of Hippomenes, and a trace of golden-red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
But at the same time, the charging white chimera was pinned to the ground, its four claws swiping randomly.
Obviously, the saint Polymonos was superior in this wrestling.
Blocked!
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel lucky to have such a powerful teammate.
"call out!"
However, before everyone could take a breath, a dark red meteor pierced the sky and shot towards the face of Commander Hippomenes at lightning speed.
The incident happened suddenly, and the surrounding heroes wanted to stop it, but were unable to do so. They could only watch the endgame unfold.
And at this critical moment, a hand as white as jade raised up and firmly grasped the cold arrow coming from the side.
Everyone looked at the owner of that hand, with a hint of astonishment on their faces.
Commander is actually so strong? Then he just...
As the eyes focused on him, Hippomenes' face stiffened slightly at first, then his eyes flashed, he immediately broke the arrow in his hand and spoke angrily.
"There are spies, they are..."
"Whoosh!"
Before he finished speaking, a sharp sound broke through the air again.
Hippomenes subconsciously set up a defensive position and prepared to be ready.
However, the dark red stream of light that penetrated the sky not only did not fall towards Hippomenes, but instead fell into the empty crack in the mountainside at this moment, piercing towards the beating heart in the **** light.
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by a sharp trembling in the air, a biting wind swept through the wilderness and fell into the crack in the mountain at lightning speed. One hand firmly grasped the bronze spear wrapped in blood.
This situation seems familiar.
The heroes' expressions changed as they looked at Hippomenes, who was standing in the air in front of the **** heart of the beast's nest and successfully intercepted the attack again.
If you say you took the sharp arrow, you are just hiding your weakness and protecting yourself.
But if you block this throwing spear, the answer is self-evident.
Realizing that he had been completely exposed, Hippomenes dropped the bronze spear in his hand and shook his head with some disappointment.
"Tsk, I thought I could spend these last days happily with you, but it's really disappointing."
Polymonus struggled to throw away the white chimera in front of him, and glared angrily at the commander who suddenly defected.
If it weren't for the sudden arrows and spears, I might have been almost killed by this guy.
After all, he was the only threat on the scene that could shake the situation.
Thinking of this, the Dionysian saint was filled with fear and became even more angry.
"Traitor! We trust you so much in vain, you actually colluded with the monsters!"
"No, no, I'm just meeting your needs and giving you a chance to solve the [animal disaster] in an honest and upright manner. But if you don't live up to your expectations, who can blame you?"
Hippomenes sneered and shook his head, looking innocent.
"Of course, you may be more useful when you are dead than when you are alive. The body can feed these monsters and slow down the attack trend of the beast disaster, and the divine blood can be refined into medicine to benefit more people. For example, that Arcadia His Majesty the King?”
The gods-blooded heroes who had been ridiculed by the crowd couldn't help but blush with anger when they heard about the culprit behind this.
"How dare that old **** from Arcadia plot against us!"
"And you bastard! Go to hell!"
Along with bursts of angry denunciations, arrows, spears, and cursed bullets were directed at Hippomenes, who was suspended above the crack.
Although the battle between them and the Warcraft group is still in a stalemate, compared to the enemy on the surface, the traitor behind the scenes is more hateful.
However, facing the attacks from his former teammates, Hippomenes sneered disdainfully and raised his hand slightly.
In an instant, **** light spurted out from the cracks, wiping out and swallowing up all the flying arrows, spears, and spell bombs.
"Guess, why did I bring you to this place?"
Hippomenes looked down at his former teammates playfully and asked a meaningful question.
Before anyone could answer, the person who asked the question raised his hands and chanted to announce the answer.
"When the stars are in the right position, the circle of reason appears here. The origin is very small and expands to infinity. The celestial body is the void. The void is the void. God exists in the void!"
At the same time, the starlight clustered in the sky shot toward the ground at Hippomenes' feet.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the mountains shook and the earth cracked, forming a hollow that seemed to lead directly into the abyss. A ferocious building made of flesh, blood, gravel, and bones rushed out of the crack and rose from the ground. The scarlet heart from before was being placed high. On the dark altar.
This is a temple of the old gods!
Everyone at the scene looked at the scene in front of them, their eyes filled with astonishment and shock.
Hippomenes raised his arms and made a loud declaration.
"Everyone, use your flesh and blood as a sacrifice to welcome the true new **** here!"
"Boom!"
The soil cracked, mixed with the roar of advancing waves, and came from the underground. A ferocious dragon beast over a thousand meters tall, composed entirely of bones, ether, and black mud, roared and flew out of the abyss.
As the dragon wings covered with black mud on the bones vibrated, the terrifying ether storm formed a hurricane that swept around, and the overwhelming black torrent that was lifted up surged forward.
But before it got close, the ether storm caused by its wings caused the land mass to lift up layer by layer, and the cracks leading to the abyss continued to expand.
The turbid current from the darkness surged up and overflowed on the surface. The eroded soil layer, like tofu dregs, shattered and collapsed, falling into the abyss.
As the surface of the earth was further eroded and decomposed, the bones, skin, and even flesh and blood scales of the ether dragon beast became clearer.
Obviously, the horror hidden underground is further revealing its majestic figure through the ever-expanding cracks.
Demon Ancestor Temple, the head of Typhon!
Everyone looked at the horrific scene in front of them with despair.
