Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 40 Flower Sea
When Victor led the second wave of sand cavalry into the Moonlight King's Court, the war reached its climax. The Moonlight King's army was all compressed outside the Moon Mountain, and the outer layer was full of sand cavalry. The two sides fought in a circular battlefield, and the corpses and gravel piled up into a circle of sand walls.
As the war continued, the sand wall grew higher.
The warriors of the Moonlight Court did not dare to let the Sand Terracotta Cavalry occupy the top of the sand wall and charge downward. They defended the sand wall regardless of casualties and charged upward one after another.
The tree people inserted their roots into the sand wall, and the branches swayed to release healing magic to heal the soldiers' injuries and restore their physical strength. The world tree also joined the battle, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in night, and the sky rained moonlight, making each soldier on the battlefield covered with multiple buff halos.
The war went on day after day, and the warriors of the Moonlight Court did not let the Sand Terracotta Cavalry cross the sand wall.
At the Sun Oasis, the coalition forces of the Western Territory nobles arrived and marched straight to the gates of Sun City.
Earl Urd had already gathered his troops in the Sun City. Faced with the enemy invasion, he did not choose to defend, but personally led his troops out of the city to fight.
Two armies of Western nobles engaged in a fierce battle outside the Sun City.
At the same time, both sides continuously sent out carrier eagles. The nobles of the Western Territory who had surrendered to Zaimie requested other nobles of the Western Territory to follow the rule of the Western Territory to advance and retreat together, and to attack the Sun City together, to kill the Meteor, and to restore the Western Territory to its previous state.
As the temporary governor of the Western Territory to suppress the rebellion, Earl Urd asked all the Western Territory nobles to guard their territories and not let the rebels take advantage of the chaos to occupy them.
"The Prime Minister of Meteorite warns everyone: Do not go against the overall situation. The situation in the Western Territory cannot be reversed. Anyone who dares to help the rebels take risks will bear the consequences themselves!"
The nobles from the West who had joined the Disaster City did not receive any reinforcements, nor could they gain any advantage over the Sun City army on the battlefield. So they placed their hopes on the Abyss Temple. Victor said that as long as there were enough deaths and blood, the Abyss Mage in the Sun City could activate the secret technique to summon the Abyss creatures.
Now the main forces of the Sun Territory army are outside the city, and enough people have died. Isn't it a good opportunity to activate the secret technique and summon the creatures of the abyss to cooperate from inside and outside and capture the Sun City in one fell swoop?
However, after the information was sent to Sun City, there was no response from the Abyss Mage.
This group of Western nobles suddenly felt abandoned.
The war has reached a stalemate, and it's a matter of who will collapse first.
Under the World Tree, the Moon Lake, which was originally as calm as a mirror, was violently surging. This was because the World Tree absorbed the lake water and then transformed it into moon rain to sprinkle on the battlefield. The warriors guarding the Moonlight King's Court were able to fight continuously because the moon rain replenished their consumption and eliminated their fatigue.
Around the trunk of the World Tree, the surging lake water formed a circle of arched water rooms.
Clear Sky, Demon Tyrant, Dragon Soul Banat, and Troll Laconia stood in the four directions of the water room respectively, which were exactly due east, due north, due west, and due south of the World Tree.
Since the four people were not together, Qingkong used the power of the World Tree to connect the spirits of the four people together.
Clear Sky: "Now the angels and the Golden People are focusing on the battlefield to prevent the Fallen Angels from suddenly attacking the World Tree. This gives us the opportunity to conduct experiments with the World Tree as the main body. I hope everyone will not make mistakes and do their part well."
Demon Tyrant: "This war and the fallen angels came at the right time. Otherwise, it would be difficult to divert the attention of the angels and the Shining Gold. Banat, if we succeed in transforming the World Tree into a divine weapon, the dragons will definitely be the beneficiaries. No wonder you sent the Golden Dragon King Tyran and his dragons here."
Dragon Soul Banat: "Tyrant, you are not feeling balanced. If you want, Hell can also be the beneficiary."
Demon Tyrant : "It is absolutely impossible for me to share my share with other demons. This group of lost generations, facing the threat of angels and shining gold people, it turned out that a group of foreign fallen angels stood up for hell.
If they want to destroy themselves, let them destroy themselves, and that will free up hell for me.
Hahaha……"
Troll Laconia: "You two, this is just an experiment. We still have a lot of things to do before the World Tree can be promoted to a divine weapon. Can you calm down? We may only have one chance."
Demon Tyrant: "I'm a little too excited...Okay, let's get started."
Dragon Soul Banat: "I am ready too."
Qingkong: "After the World Tree is promoted to a divine weapon, I will decide how to distribute and use it. Don't give yourselves a share without permission.
Do you understand? "
"clear!"
"clear!"
"clear!"
Clear Sky: "Begin the first World Tree Language Feedback Experiment."
Troll Laconia: "The season starts from 'Spring', the time starts from 'Midnight', and the direction starts from 'Up'. Remember the word order represented by your position, and be sure to write it in a standard way.
Ms. Clear Sky, you are now 'Haruhi'."
The clear sky floating in the water room stretched out a finger, drew a line from the World Tree, and wrote the World Tree language in the air.
The Demon Tyrant, the Dragon Soul Banat, and the Troll Laconia wrote out their respective languages in turn according to their respective orders and assigned tasks.
A set of word orders completes the combination.
The World Tree outside shook slightly.
Then, on the Moon Hills surrounding Moon Lake, tender grass sprouts emerged from the soil and cracks in the rocks. The grass grew very fast, and in a blink of an eye, flowers bloomed all over the mountain.
Another word order completes the combination.
Grass and flowers spread outward.
Pollen flies out from the flowers, gathers in the wind, and flies in the wind, forming a continuous pollen cloud.
The night that shrouded the sky above the Moonlight Palace quickly retreated as the sun rose.
The pollen mist formed a pink pollen ring around Moonlight Mountain, spreading outward as the sea of flowers spread. Grass and flowers spread over the sand wall formed by the accumulation of gravel, and continued to bury all the sand brought by the Sand Terracotta Cavalry under the sea of flowers.
The pollen ring swept past, and on the sand wall, some flower buds grew exceptionally large. These strange flowers bloomed, revealing the flower elves curled up inside. The newly born flower elves stood up, shook their bodies, spread their thin, transparent wings, and then leaped out of the flowers.
The war in the Moonlight Court was still going on, and the flower fairies did not join the battle. They flew high into the sky, then dispersed and flew far away, flying to their hometowns.
Barbarian warriors from all over came to protect the World Tree. After death, their souls turned into flower elves and flew back to where they came from.
The grass and the sea of flowers continued to spread, and every time a battlefield was covered, a new batch of flower elves were born.
Victor stood behind the sand terracotta cavalry, and a flower elf flew past him nimbly. He stared blankly at the wonder in front of him: under his feet was a meadow full of flowers, above his head was the warm moon rain, in front of him was a battlefield, and around him were flying flower elves.
A feeling came over him, and he recalled the time when he was a magic professor at Oulu College. He raised his hand and saw that his dry skin was plump and elastic, and he felt more concerned.
"What's wrong with me?" Victor asked himself.
"The divinity of the World Tree has been activated." The old man named Zaimie stood beside Victor at some point. He looked at the World Tree in the distance with eyes as calm as still water.
Victor asked: "Why does the World Tree have divinity?"
Zaimie did not answer, but said to himself: "Only with hope in your heart can you endure endless pain. Only with hope in your heart can you have the courage to be unyielding. It is because of hope that the World Tree can endure the burning for thousands of years and wait for recovery; it is because of hope that these barbarians will fight the sand figurines with their flesh and blood.
What are your hopes, Victor?"
Following Zaimie's words, Victor turned his gaze towards the battlefield and the sea of flowers: "My hope is to embrace the abyss and become a god who serves the abyss."
“That’s a wish.”
Victor thought for a moment: "I don't know what my hope is, and what your hope is?"
Zaimie smiled and said, "I only have a mission! I failed to destroy the World Tree this time, but it doesn't matter. I will continue to complete my mission."
Victor said: "No, we did not fail. Although there are not many Sand Terracotta Cavalry left, they have completed the task I assigned to them. All the forces of the Moonlight Court have been dispatched, and the Fallen Angels will deliver the final blow!"
After Victor finished speaking, he did not wait for Zaimie's response. He turned his head and saw that Zaimie was no longer there.
High in the sky, the fallen angels have been waiting for many days.
Today, they saw the ancient tree people on Moon Mountain being sent to the battlefield. They also saw the wonders of the grass and flowers spreading and the flower fairies dancing.
The fallen angels did not have much understanding of this scene, they thought it was a counterattack released by the World Tree. The number of Sand Warrior Cavalry is running low, it is time for us to attack.
Garland led the fallen angels to swoop down from the sky and launch the fastest attack on the World Tree. As long as they rushed into the range of the World Tree, they could destroy it to their heart's content. Black flames burned on the wings of the fallen angels, and the memory of rushing towards the World Tree a thousand years ago was recalled in their minds.
However, the fallen angels did not appear for long before angels, golden men and dragons flew out from the crown of the World Tree.
The angels rushed to the front with their wings flapping, and the shining golden men flew in the golden light in their golden armor. The dragons lagged behind, looking reluctant.
The fastest angels blocked the fallen angels.
The Shining Gold Man and the dragon that arrived stayed behind the angels. Angels and fallen angels are mortal enemies, and the angels don't like others to interfere in the battle between their mortal enemies.
Garland and the fallen angels stopped in the air and saw that the angels' lineup was somewhat inconsistent with the intelligence.
There's one more Theresa.
But it doesn’t matter, we also have the golden dragon King Tyran and Taotie... I just don’t know where Taotie is hiding?
Has he already started destroying the World Tree?
It is possible.
Hahaha……
Garland still looked cynical: "Archangel Gold, and the so-called Holy Judgement Angel Theresa. When I was an archangel, you were all ordinary angels. I remember Theresa, you were once moved to tears by my song, and you cried like a weak little girl.
And Gold, you... when we were escaping from Sky City, you finally backed down and became a lackey of the Shining Gold Man!"
Theresa looked at Garland and did not give him any response except holding the sword tightly in her hand.
Archangel Gold flew forward for a distance and said, "Yes, I backed down in the end. It does take strength to retake Sky City, but it does not mean that we need to go to hell and go to extremes."
"Because the Rainbow Arch of the Dragon Kingdom and the Fluorescent Star Cluster of the Shadow Clan are not suitable for angels, only the Red Flame Torch of Hell can give us the power we need. Look at our Black Wings, the Statue of Light and the Red Flame Torch together made the Fallen Angel.
We will eventually take back Sky City!"
Archangel Gold patiently persuaded: "The Shining Gold People have returned the Sky City to the angels. If you want to come back, we can hold an Archangel meeting to discuss it."
Garland laughed and said, "Yes, the Shining Gold people did return the Sky City to the angels, but their transformation of the angels still has an impact. The Holy Inquisition was established by the Shining Gold people, so why do they still keep it?
Theresa! If we, the fallen angels, return to Sky City, will the Inquisition agree?"
Theresa swung her sword, and holy flames burned on the blade: "All fallen angels will eventually receive Holy Judgment!"
Garland taunted Archangel Gold, "Did you hear that? Our hatred cannot be resolved! Angels are still spiritually enslaved by the Golden Man! Gold, you want to be a good guy, but being a good guy is the hardest thing to do.
Only the sword can solve everything!"
Theresa flew to the side of Archangel Gold and warned him, "Archangel Gold, please be careful about your actions and do not be deceived by the fallen angels and doubt our justice. I can not tell the Sword of Oath what you just said, but you must help me kill Garland, he is very powerful."
Persuasion was hopeless, so Archangel Gold summoned his angel sword and said, "Galland, let's solve everything with the sword."
The angels chanted the ancient angel language together, their wings took on a metallic texture, and their bodies exuded an aggressive edge.
The fallen angels also took up fighting stances.
Archangel Gold turned around and said to the Golden Men and the dragons: "This battle is to protect the World Tree, not a pure personal grudge between angels and fallen angels. I hope you will do your best to help us eliminate these fallen angels and return to the World Tree as soon as possible."
With Archangel Gold's request, the Golden Men stepped forward to surround the fallen angels from the left, and the dragons surrounded the fallen angels from the right, preparing to fight in a group with more people against fewer.
The Golden Dragon King Tyron brought the giant dragons to summon multiple magic arrays around him. The magic power in the arrays was concentrated and magic attacks could erupt at any time.
Garland let the encirclement form. He said with great enthusiasm: "Leave the angels to us, and the Golden Man to you. Is that ok?"
"No problem!" replied the Golden Dragon King Tyran.
Garland shouted: "Let's fight!"
The dragons cast magic at the same time, bombarding the fallen angel from behind as it charged towards him.
"King Tyron, you hit the wrong number!"
"That's right! King Taotie said that he's going to fight you!"
