Chapter 365: The True Purpose of Pende Bloodline
The Legion of Terror?
It came pretty fast...
Since the Legion of Terror arrived so quickly, it means that Kavala had been summoning her several months ago. It must not have been easy to come all the way from the Bacchus Continent...
In other words, the Legion of Fear set out from the continent of Bacchus around the time when the Forbidden Magic Tower collapsed.
However, hasn't the Legion of Dread been destroyed?
It was Li Ang who killed it himself...
Although Leon only killed those python knights, he also learned from Alina that Emperor Marius encountered the Horned Viper Vanguard, and Titus and the Phoenix Knights killed another fleet of the Legion of Terror at sea.
All in all, the Legion of Terror should be basically wiped out - at most only Maltis and Horned Viper Vanguard are left.
According to what Emperor Marius had encountered, there were only two hundred Horned Viper Vanguards. Even if each of them was a top-level fighter like the Twilight Knights, how could they possibly capture the Fierce Lion City with such a small number?
Li Ang was a little confused.
Kavala can turn corpses into undead warriors, and in the battle of Sarleon, the followers of the prophet did create thousands of corpses.
But I knew his ability and had been prepared for this. All the corpses had been cleared out and burned...
Moreover, Leon was not worried that Kavala would drive the undead to attack the city - the undead army would need weapons and equipment to attack the city, and it was impossible for Kavala to produce so much equipment in such a short time.
There had been frequent wars before, so there must have been a lot of corpses buried in the ground. But even if Kavala could summon thousands of undead from the surrounding areas, they were only fragile rotten flesh and bones.
Le Ang is not at all inferior to those bone frames that break with a single blow and have no weapons, no matter how many there are.
Besides, Sarleon City now has sufficient military strength, all of which are powerful knights, and each of them is elite.
Why would Kavala allow the Dread Legion to come to Sarleon at this time?
"Your Majesty Kavala, Maltis's Legion of Terror is basically dead. Don't you know that?"
Li Ang asked puzzledly as he walked out.
"Haha... Leon, you know nothing about the magical weapons of the Sindari elves... Why do you think Azi Dahaka can be worshipped as a god? If I wasn't absolutely sure, how could I tell you so much..."
Kavala said slowly: "Thank you for bringing me so many powerful knights. They will become the new Legion of Terror..."
Li Ang's heart skipped a beat.
Kavala dared to tell him everything, which of course meant that he wanted him to die with a clear conscience.
Although villains are always killed by talking too much, Kavala is probably not that kind of fool...
But why did Kavala believe that he would die here?
Is he so sure that he won't have any chance at all?
Why?
How does this relate to the worship of Aziz Dahaka?
Oops…
Kavala’s assurance comes from that Aziz Dahaka!
Li Ang rushed out of the Nobles' Courtyard and shouted , "Someone! Burn that snake-skinned corpse! Now!"
"Boy, it's too late...hahaha..."
Kavala's laughter appeared directly in Leon's ears.
"Your Majesty is really good at this... Are you going to destroy the continent of Pendor?!"
Li Ang said this through gritted teeth.
But Kavala no longer responded.
Li Ang has realized that he might have been fooled...
I originally thought that Kavala should be waiting for Maltis to arrive in Sarleon City, but I didn't expect Anna to suddenly destroy the Forbidden Magic Tower. As a result, Aziz Dahaka died a few months later due to lack of blood nourishment...
In addition, at this time, Leon asked the three prophets to transfer troops from Cliff Bay and send troops to Fierce Lion City.
So Kavala took out the Gate of the Abyss from the Deer Heart Lake and left on his own initiative to avoid losses, allowing Leon to successfully attack the Fierce Lion City.
But in fact, Kavala's undead army might not be unable to defend Sarleon, and he didn't return because he was worried about being ambushed. He deliberately let himself attack Sarleon!
Or rather, he couldn't stay in Sarleon City...
The snake-skinned man in the blood pool of the Forbidden Magic Tower is the new Az Dahaka created by the Snake Cult. It is the Forbidden Magic weapon of the Sindarin elves, but its function is definitely not just to ban magic!
Kavala had actually told me everything very frankly...
But he did not realize that weapons like Az Dahaka might be the direct cause of the destruction of the Vengedarian continent!
Why does Aziz Dahaka need to be nourished with forbidden magic blood all the time?
Is it really 'nourishing'?
Could it be something else?
Does blood that can suppress magic mean a stable preservation environment for magical creatures that are more likely to get out of control?
What kind of weapon needs to be kept in a stable liquid at all times?
Damn... I'm afraid this is not for suppressing magic, it may be for explosion prevention!
Kavala must have known that Aziz Dahaka was buried under the tower of the House of Lords in Sarleon City, but he didn't dig it out. It was definitely not because he didn't want Aziz Dahaka anymore, but because this thing was unstable and he didn't dare to dig it out?
The magical storm that destroyed the continent of Vengedarian...
I'm afraid that's the true use of Aziz Dahaka!
In other words, this thing is a large-scale magical weapon similar to a nuclear bomb - except that its code name is 'Azi Dahaka'...
Azi Dahaka was a humanoid weapon, and Kavala also said that when he used Azi Dahaka's body, he was killed by the Griffin Knights he created. So he subconsciously thought that it was just a forbidden magic weapon used against the Sindarin elves or gods...
But he overlooked an important fact - Kavala was using Azi Dahaka's body at the time, so he couldn't really use this weapon...
Because it was a body forbidden from magic, it couldn't be driven - and he couldn't drive himself to explode...
But once he got the body of Maltis, it would be completely different...
Both Azi Dahaka and Maltis were found in the ruins of the Vengedarian continent. What does this mean?
Maltis, the Sindarius elf, was probably the general who guarded this special weapon, or the army commander who was responsible for "firing" this weapon...
This means that Maltis must have the ability to truly "use" the terrible weapon of Azi Dahaka!
Why is Maltis's Legion called the Legion of Terror?
Maybe it’s not because they are undead…
It's because they can use the most terrifying and terrible weapons! Weapons that can destroy the continent!
Although this Azi Dahaka was not created by the Sindari elves, but by the Snake Worshipers, its power was probably not as strong as the original version, and it certainly would not destroy the entire continent - but even if it was weakened a thousand times, it was still not something that his small body could withstand...
I guess the entire Sarleon City can't afford it!
While thinking about this, Leon ran as fast as he could to the place where the snake-skin man, Azdahaka, was kept - the morgue.
This is also where Ulrich's body once lay.
"Sir! I was just about to come look for you! This corpse just suddenly glowed..."
Just as he ran to the door of the morgue, Klose ran out and bumped into Leon.
It seems that it is indeed late...
"Everyone leave here... Pass the order! Get everyone out of Sarleon City! Go!"
Leon gave orders hurriedly, pushed Klose aside and ran into the morgue.
This Aziz Dahaka was glowing, his whole body like a big light bulb...most of the snake skin scales on his face had also disappeared, revealing a face that was originally quite handsome.
Now it can be seen that it was once an elf.
The golden light emanating from it was extremely dazzling, exactly the same as the light emitted by the High King's ring.
This kind of golden light usually makes people think of nobility, holiness, elegance, warmth...
But Li Ang had no such thoughts at all now. All he felt was a bone-chilling chill.
What would it be like to be in the same room with a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment?
Li Ang is experiencing it now.
My hands and feet were numb, my whole body was covered with goose bumps, I was so nervous that I was trembling, and my mind was a little numb. For a moment, I didn’t know what to do...
Only his heartbeat was still slow. Wendy's blood gave him the heartbeat of a Noldor elf.
That’s right!
Blood!
This Aziz Dahaka was originally preserved with the blood of Red Death patients, and the Red Death virus can stabilize this thing!
All of my troops have been vaccinated against horsepox!
Maybe the blood of our own troops can be of use?
Try it!
Li Ang gritted his teeth, drew his sword, cut his wrist, and splashed the blood on the corpse - the cut was deep and a lot of blood flowed.
There was indeed a slight effect, and the golden light dimmed a little.
And that blood caused some of the snake skin scales on Aziz Dahaka's face, which had been gradually disappearing, to regrow.
It seems that the snake-scale-like skin on its body actually serves a sealing function. If the snake skin disappears completely, it will explode!
But now it has been activated, using blood can only delay the time at most, and judging from the situation, even if Leon bleeds out all the blood, he won't be able to hold out for long...
We need to use more blood to stabilize it for a while, and then the others can escape from Sarleon before it explodes, and use the walls of Sarleon to limit its power!
"Wendy! Lisa Dilan! Call the guards!"
Leon wasted no time and carried Az Dahaka on his shoulders. While shouting, he ran towards the barracks of the Noldor Guard.
…
At the same time, outside the city of Sarleon.
One after another, dark shadows were silently approaching the Fierce Lion City in the darkness.
They walked slowly and unsteadily, and many of them even moved crookedly.
Under the moonlight, you can vaguely see their appearance...
A scary look.
Most of them were covered in mud, with maggots even wriggling on their rotting trunks, and occasionally you could see things like earthworms crawling in and out of their rotten eye sockets.
These are all dead bodies...
And most of them should have crawled out of the ground.
These corpses are gathering towards Sarleon City.
Many corpses were incomplete, but even with only the upper body left and no legs, they were still slowly crawling towards Sarleon City.
There are these zombies in all four directions of Sarleon City, including the Sava River in the south.
At first glance, they seem endless, like a swarm of locusts.
"Blow the horn! Prepare for battle! Go and report back to the master..."
Klose received the order to evacuate Sarleon, but he was unable to execute it - Sarleon was surrounded by an endless sea of undead!
"Leon, Sarleon City is under siege... The enemy is not attacking the city, but we can't get out!"
Wendy rushed over anxiously.
Li Ang had just brought Aziz Dahaka to the barracks and explained the situation to everyone. He was about to bleed his brothers one by one when he heard the bad news.
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth in silence for two seconds, then raised his head and said, "Since we can't get out, I have to throw it out. I hope the walls of Sarleon City can stop it... Prepare the fastest comet horse! Lisadiran, use your blood to see if you can delay it for a while..."
Lisadiran led the Noldor Guards to cut their wrists collectively. Jocelyn, Sigismund and others also cut themselves with a knife, gathering a large basin of blood.
Then, the entire basin of blood was poured on Aziz Dahaka, making him completely red.
But this time, it didn't work at all...
The scales on Aziz Dahaka's face had not faded at all.
The only effect was to turn the golden light on its body into red light - the color of blood.
"Only Kavala's bloodline can stop it? I see... I see!"
Leon sighed, cut himself with the sword again, and smeared it on Aziz Dahaka's face. The effect was immediate...
So this is the function of the bloodline of the Pendor royal family? !
Eunomia deliberately used Kavala's descendants to deal with Kavala. Was it for such a reason?
Leon sighed, carried Aziz Dahaka on his shoulders, and rushed out.
"My Lord, let me go... You shouldn't do such a dangerous thing yourself!"
Risa Dillan tries to stop Leon.
To rush out of the city alone with the corpses and into the wilderness filled with undead is basically tantamount to committing suicide!
Li Ang ran out without stopping, laughing miserably and shaking his head as he ran: "I can only go by myself, only my blood can control it... Is the horse ready? Hurry up!"
It seems that this is why Kavala is sure that he will die...
This is the 'nuclear bomb' made by the Snake Cult, and it is also the weapon that Kavala made for his own descendants!
When not activated, this weapon only needs to be stored with the blood of Red Death patients to remain stable. It was originally stored in the temple of Bretwin not because the temple was special, but because there were enough Red Death patients there.
Kavala's direct descendants would not be infected with the Red Death, and even if the virus spread, it would not pose a threat to his descendants.
But once this weapon is activated, no one can stop it from erupting except the bloodline of Kavala...
This was supposed to be a deterrent that Kavala created specifically for his descendants, probably to threaten Eunomia in order to ensure the continuation of his descendants...
In other words, I was the only one who could keep Aziz Dahaka under control with my blood pressure. If I was lucky, I might be able to take it out of the city, away from Sarleon—if I hadn't bled out by then.
Anyway, either I die alone, or everyone dies together...
Just die...
"Open the city gate! I'm going to blow them up!"
Leon rode on Wendy's comet horse, placed Az Dahaka horizontally in front of the saddle, picked up the two long swords with both hands again, and rushed out towards the endless sea of undead outside the city.
