Imperial Crown.

Chapter 462 A shameful ending...?

Chapter 492: A shameful ending...?

In the south of the battlefield, Pip, the son of Junasen and the backbone of the outside faction, climbed over the wall and entered the camp.

The posture was not elegant, and he almost fell down on his buttocks.

His helmet had disappeared at some point, and there was a wound on his forehead that looked like a baby's mouth. The blood that flowed out covered his face and was then wiped and dried repeatedly, making Pip's face look like it was covered with meaningless oil paint.

“Hoo…Hoo…!”

Groping for his spear, Pip struggled to stand up. Recalling the process of breaking into the camp, his cheeks suddenly tightened and trembled violently several times.

In order to get him in, a full 300 Eagle Army soldiers followed him in the charge, but they were sniped at every turn on the way, with men falling with every step forward.

When he was sent to the village wall, there were less than 300 people left in the team of 200, and now they had to lean against the village wall to resist the endless attacks of the goblin army!

"Damn greenskins...!"

Time was running out, and Pip had no time to rest, so he strode into the camp.

Soon, Pip came to the edge of the open space in the center of the camp. He hid behind the tent, stuck his head out and observed the situation inside.

The first thing you see is the altar that is emitting a scarlet light, as well as the baby on the altar and a short goblin presiding over the ceremony.

Then there were the hobgoblin guards who were surrounding the altar and performing a strange dance.

Damn!

Pip gripped the spear tightly in his hand and cursed in his heart.

With such tight defense, it is impossible for him to break in alone!

But immediately, he saw the goblin standing on the altar speaking:

“I didn’t expect that there is still a barbarian bloodline among the human race today.”

"You guys, come together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards who had surrounded them all rushed to the north.

Pip looked in the direction they were moving, and saw Lamb fighting like a madman, and Hervey lying in the ruins further away.

Good job!
A surge of excitement rose in his heart, and Pip almost cried out!

This time, the plan Moas made was actually quite simple, which was to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.

Let Thor and other local people rush into the center of the camp to attract the attention of the defenders, while the outsiders will be responsible for taking advantage of the weak defense to deliver a fatal blow!
Hervey and Lamb completed the first half of the plan perfectly, and they really diverted the attention of all the guards.

Now, it's time for Pip to do his best!

Pip took a deep breath, raised the spear in his hand, and locked his eyes on the goblin standing on the altar.

He raised the spear to his shoulder, and the pale white attributeless fighting spirit rushed into the spear from his body; he spread his legs, leaned his upper body backward, and began to run with all the muscles moving!
One step, two steps, three steps——

"Guanxing!"

Pip roared silently, and the spear turned into a cold light and was thrown out suddenly!
It was a seemingly ordinary spear.

Until wisps of light blue storm fighting spirit overflowed from the spear, beating the air like oars, making the entire spear spin.

In the calm air, a tornado visible to the naked eye was formed!

The fallen leaves were rolled up, the dust and mud were disturbed, and wrapped around the tornado caused by the spear, like a giant python covered in mud, roaring and pouncing on the unprotected altar, rushing towards the weak and skinny Chi Chi Linga!

Pip held his breath at this moment, with strong anticipation in his eyes.

Right now, outside this camp, the Eagle Army is fighting a bloody battle, with people getting injured and dying every moment.

All this is because of this damn altar and this damn ritual.

Pip cried inwardly—

End it, end this ritual, end this war!
At this moment, Jiujiu Linga's eyes suddenly rolled up:
"finally come!"

It seemed as if he had been waiting for this moment.

Reaching out and pulling up the wooden staff stuck on the side of the altar, he waved the tip of the staff at the giant dust python with a chirping ringing sound, his voice was ethereal and serious:
"The swords of the Eternal Battlefield have never ceased, and the waves of the Acheron River never stop. In the name of the Ruler of Klanger, the Lord of the Fortress of Disaster, the fools who blasphemed his sacrifices will be punished by the sword and axe!"

As the chanting ended, a huge axe suddenly appeared in the air.

The axe handle was made of white bones entangled with each other, and the axe body was as black as ink, with sticky blood as if it had just been fished out of a river of blood, and it chopped down in the air!
when!
The oncoming dust and mud tornado was split in half, and then like a venomous snake with its head cut off, it broke into two pieces and swept madly and aimlessly, scattering fallen leaves, dust, and debris all over the ground, but failing to cause any meaningful damage.

"Impossible—" Hervey, who witnessed this scene, screamed heartbreakingly.

The giant axe that fell from the sky not only cut off the dust and mud tornado, but also their hope of ending the ceremony!
The sound reached Jiujiulinga's ears, but it did not stop his voice:
"The place where the goblins are located is the kingdom of the great Magnubiye. Baigriyek was allowed to bring down his divine power to cruelly torture all enemies who dare to invade!"

Pip's face suddenly froze, and an unprecedented premonition of danger came over him. Even before he was hit directly by the hateful iron hook, he had never felt such a deadly crisis.

The fighting spirit flowed into his feet, and Pip turned sideways to dodge.

But at this moment, numbness spread from the soles of his feet, and his body fell to the ground with a bang, out of control.

Only at this moment did he see clearly that the entire ground had been covered with translucent poisonous stingers with moist mucus on the tips. It was these stingers that pierced the soles of his feet, and the toxins made his whole body stiff!

"hehe……"

Pip breathed hard, a flash of relief flashing through his heart.

He has not yet despaired.

Since two people were sent from the north, how could these people from other places only send one person?

This is good. I have attracted the strange magic of this strange goblin. So what is hidden is——

what! ?

Pip's eyes widened, because at the end of his field of vision, accompanied by a flash of dazzling purple lightning, a tent suddenly exploded.

Then Pip saw Grand, whose body was covered with transparent thorns, walk out step by step, with balls of electric light flashing on his body, as if he was trying to break free from the paralysis of the poison, but he fell to the ground with a thud after taking a few steps!
"Ah...Ah!!!!" Ge Lang roared and summoned his fighting spirit, but he was unable to move at all.

Jiujiu Linga looked at the struggling Ge Lang and touched his pointed head:

"Very smart, you guys."

"First, let the two people in the north rush into the camp to attract my attention. At the same time, let the 300-man Eagle Army escort the person using the Storm Fighting Qi to rush in."

"On the surface, it looks like they are attacking from both sides, but in reality, these are just appearances, baits to divert my attention and defensive power."

"The real killer move is this young man who used lightning fighting spirit. I think he sneaked in quietly while those 300 people attracted attention, right?"

The sound swept across, and Pip and Grand's faces turned pale.

Especially Gran!
Because everything was really as Jijiulinga said. The reason why they sent a team of 300 people to escort Pip was to cover Grand and let him sneak into the camp, and then wait until Jijiulinga was most careless to launch a sneak attack and destroy the entire altar.

This is to create conditions for him using the lives of Hervey, Lamb, Pip, and the 300 Eagle Army soldiers!
But now, before he could make a move, he was knocked to the ground.

This kind of humiliation and shame was even more difficult for him to accept than his messed up hair!

"Proud racist, huh?"

Jiujiulinga's mood and voice were very relaxed, full of the smugness of a winner: "You humans and those furry humanoid beasts are all the same. You think that we goblins are weak and can be bullied, and that we are a bunch of brainless idiots."

"So, you think I can't see through your plan? You think I, as the leader of tens of millions of goblins, can't even figure out whether there are enemies in my camp and how many enemies there are."

"Have you ever thought that the real fool is actually you?"

Lamb, who was in a state of rage, could not hear what Jiujiulinga was saying and continued to fight desperately.

But Hervey, Pip and Grand all changed their expressions.

Jiujiulinga sneered: "I have to thank you for sending these Eagle Army into my mouth!"

"If we really fight against Raven head-on, I can't guarantee that we can achieve such a brilliant result - there are more than 4000 Eagle soldiers in total, almost the strength of an entire legion!"

"But don't worry, I won't kill you. Instead, I will keep you alive and wait for Raven to pay the ransom."

"I'm looking forward to seeing how much money Raven will spend to buy back these idiots who caused him to lose his troops in vain and suffer his first defeat in the war!"

A gloom hung over everyone's head, and they wished they could knock their heads against the ground and die right now.

They came to attack the Goblin's logistics camp for the sake of merit, and originally thought it would be an easy task, but it ended up causing the soldiers who came with them to fight for military merit to be annihilated, bringing unprecedented shame to the invincible Eagle Army!

This is a stain that no amount of blood can wash away, a sin that even death cannot atone for.

They will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the Eagle Army, and their families will be disgraced because of them.

If given a choice, Hervey, Grand and Pip would rather die now.

But now, they are powerless to make any changes and can only face this ending full of despair and shame!

The remorse filled everyone's heart, making these young people who had never been afraid even when being attacked by swords and axes almost cry...

Just then, an eagle cried!
……

Chapter 493: Fifth Floor
It is 14 and a half feet long, with two huge hooves as thick as roof beams, and its wings can be spread out enough to cover a house!
“Wind King!?” Jiujiulinga suddenly looked up, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

He knew that Raven had the Wind King's troops under his command, but they were Raven's elite troops, and usually moved in large groups. Even for reconnaissance activities, they were dispatched in groups of three. They were also the focus of the Gray Feather Eagles' defense. How could one of them suddenly appear here! ?
To Jiujiulinga it was a shock, but in the eyes of others, it was solid ecstasy.

Hervey's facial features relaxed, Pip opened his mouth, and even Grand, who suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia, was trembling with excitement at this moment!

They themselves did not expect that Hoyaz actually had such a trick up his sleeve!
Yes, at this moment, Hoyaz is standing upright on the back of the Wind King.

As a former member of the flying squadron, even though he has changed his position now, the Wind King is still a loyal companion who will never abandon his master throughout his life.

"Help me find the way, old friend!"

Hoyaz gently stroked the Wind King's back, and then a purple surge of electricity condensed under the Wind King's pair of secondary wings, turning into lightning as thick as a bucket that blasted down from mid-air.

Just as the lightning was about to touch the altar, a dome of light appeared and took shape, completely engulfing the lightning!
But there was no trace of surprise on Hoyaz's face.

At the beginning of the battle, when he saw the formation of these goblins, he realized that he had bitten off a tough bone this time, and when the ritual that affected the entire battlefield took effect, he became even more certain of this.

In order to be able to respond to various situations during this expedition to the Orc Empire, Hoyaz learned about the goblin ethnic composition in advance.

Ordinary goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, bat goblins...

There are also goblin priests who will inevitably be born when the goblin population expands to a certain extent.

They are the favored ones of Magnubiye, the God of Goblins and the priest of war, and they possess wisdom that is far superior even compared to humans.

The person who could organize a ceremony of this scale was undoubtedly a goblin priest.

Therefore, all the plans he and Moas devised were based on the other party's extremely high wisdom and judgment.

Let Thor send someone, that’s the first level;
Letting Pip launch an attack is the second level;

Let Gran launch the attack, which is the third level.

And it turned out that this complicated plan was not in vain.

Hervey and Lamb distracted the guards' attention, and Pip made the "feint to the east and attack in the west" plan come true. The hidden Grand attracted the attention of Jijilinga.

The Wind King's pulse surge was the last test, and it finally revealed the last trump card of Jiujiu Linga - the invisible shield covering the altar.

Now, it's time for Hoyaz to come into play!

"Old buddy, let's go!"

Hoyaz stood up on the back of the Wind King and jumped high off the back of the Wind King!
The Wind King flapped his wings and swooped down first. His fangs and claws slammed heavily on the light curtain on the dome, causing a loud bang, and then he was bounced back by the recoil force.

Jiujiulinga's face turned pale under the light curtain.

Performing the ritual has already taken up too much of Jiujiu Linga's energy. Every time the dome light curtain is impacted, it will consume his little remaining energy.

That's why he cast a spell first to interrupt Pip's attack and control both Pip and Grand.

He never imagined that these damn hairless monkeys would use the strategy to such an extent that they sent out three waves of people just to distract him.

He was originally feeling lucky for having controlled Pip and Grand, but now he wanted to jump up and slap himself twice!
Now, it is no use regretting. He has no time to cast another spell to attack Hoyaz who is falling from the sky. He can only use his last bit of strength to maintain this layer of protection!

At this moment, Hoyaz in mid-air adjusted his posture, drew out his sword and held it upright on his chest, then turned upside down, his whole body wrapped in azure blue fighting spirit, and fell rapidly like a pop.

The water vapor in the air condensed around Hoyaz as he fell, gathering more and more, becoming thicker and thicker, until it finally turned into a raging waterfall that rushed down!

boom! ! !
A heavy stream of water hit the light curtain, and Hoyaz's sword pierced in at the same time!
Hoyaz felt as if the sword in his hand had pierced into a ball of flexible rubber. Although it had clearly hit it, it was completely unable to break through. More force was constantly flowing back along the sword, as if it would bounce him back at any time.

The enormous recoil pressure caused his muscles and bones to tremble wildly, and the smallest blood vessels on his skin burst, turning into a blood mist all over the sky!
"what--!!!!"

Amidst the roar, the fighting spirit armor on Hoyaz's body suddenly shattered, and all the fighting spirit and all the strength flowed into the sword through his hands.

The reason why Hoyaz came here was for merit, but not just for merit.

He wants to prove his ability and his worth to his father and Earl Raven!
If you fail, you will die!
“Break it for me…ahh ...

Hoyaz roared, his mouth was torn into a bloody wound, and blood burst out of his eye sockets.

Jiujiu Linga saw all of this expression. The reckless enthusiasm made Jiujiu Linga completely unable to understand it, and he was filled with indescribable anger!
He has always believed that only fools would gamble with their own lives, and smart people should use other people's lives as stepping stones.

But why did this hairless monkey in front of him, who had planned so carefully, destroy his own ritual at the final stage even at the cost of his life?
You obviously have the Wind King, so you can withdraw at any time! ?
At this time, Jiujiulinga was about to reach his limit. If he continued, he had a 7% chance of maintaining the operation of the protective shield.

But the price he paid was his own serious injury!

At this moment, Jiujiu Linga hesitated, and there was a momentary lag in maintaining the energy of the shield.

With a crisp sound, cracks like dry earth appeared on the originally solid dome shield, with Hoyaz's sword as the center.

The cracks spread all the way, covering the entire dome, and then a brilliant white light burst out from the cracks, illuminating the sky!
Hoyaz's body was thrown out with layers of blood mist, rolling to the ground, and he had almost turned into a bloody man.

"Reckless idiot!" Jiujiulinga stared at Heyaz with gritted teeth, his eyes full of panic and fear.

If he had not reacted in time and retracted his strength to create a layer of protection around him, he would have been injured by the energy from the broken shield.

Even so, his pointed head was somewhat burned, and the wooden stick in his hand was broken into three pieces.

Jiujiulinga's eyes turned vicious, and he uttered a merciless mockery:
"Your calculations are indeed good. You have four consecutive plans and even fooled me."

"If you were Eric, you might actually be able to break through my defenses."

"It's a pity that your plan is not small, but your strength is too weak!"

But Hoyaz, who was lying on the ground, suddenly laughed: "Haha...hahaha..."

Jiujiulinga jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on:
"why are you laughing!?"

"I'm laughing at you..." Hoyaz said hoarsely, "Why do you think my plan only has four levels?"

“……!?” Jiujiu Linga was startled and turned back suddenly.

A gray dwarf somehow reached the center of the altar and the edge of the mortar.

Seeing Jiujiulinga turning around, the gray dwarf smiled, revealing his yellowed, wine-stained teeth, and swung the war hammer in his hand.

Jiujiu Linga's eyes were about to burst: "No——"

Snapped.

The war hammer wrapped in molten fighting spirit landed on the tail of the dagger, knocking it completely into the chest of the baby on the mortar.

In an instant, the strange baby was torn into pieces!
