"We believe in God and formed the Knights in His name."
Okay, now it’s confirmed.
"By the way, what is the situation with this mission? To be honest, I'm still confused." Anyway, there was nothing wrong with her asking this question, because she was indeed confused. It was too difficult to judge the truth of the matter with just such a brief information.
"To end the rule of a kingdom."
The tone of the pure answer was still calm, but no matter how naive Little Red Riding Hood was, she knew that the answer to this question was based on extreme cruelty and bloodshed. However, the other party said it so lightly, as if it was an insignificant matter. However, when she thought of the 1000 points, she bit the bullet and asked again.
"What caused this war to start?"
"For the majesty of God cannot be blasphemed."
"????ah???"
"Because they have offended our God, and that is unforgivable."
When Tony Stark heard this answer, he couldn't help but drop the pen in his hand, and felt uncontrollably angry.
What kind of ridiculous reason is this?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but slam the table with all his might. The iron-hard table became soft and elastic the moment he slammed it. He slammed it twice, then felt bored. After all, hitting cotton with your fist was such a boring thing.
He was now a little worried that the ghost would learn bad things from them. He really didn't want that to happen. He was afraid that the ghost would lose his empathy and the ability to judge for itself, and become a pawn of the so-called God of the Void.
When he thought of this, he grabbed his hair worriedly. The environment would affect people, especially young children who had not yet fully developed. It would be more likely to cause an impact. He decided to trouble the people in the group from time to time, so that they would speed up the progress and complete a few tasks. He also let the ghosts communicate more with the people in the group. One day, they would understand.
337 The War Has Begun
Dust was flying, and stubborn weeds took root in the dry and hard soil, swaying with the vibration of the earth. They were trampled into the cracks in the soil by the passing knights in uniform. After they left, they stubbornly stretched their bodies again and continued to grow ostentatiously.
The ghost sat calmly on Pure's shoulder, which was what the other party insisted on again and again.
Because Chunchun knew very well that if the ghosts were allowed to move forward alone, it would inevitably be a one-sided massacre, and it might even be so fast that they would not have time to react. Chunchun did not want this war to end in some extremely hasty way, at least they should not be left to clean up the meaningless mess.
Green once protested against this matter, but simply a calm glance over his shoulder was enough to make Green sneer.
Such a huge movement that cannot be ignored should be noticed even by a bug that is in a state of peace, defenseless and lazy.
The insect, wrapped in his armor and a straw mat, lying on the ground in a crude outpost raised on the flat ground, was startled by the huge noise and woke up immediately.
When he first woke up, he was still a little confused. He wiped his face twice and impatiently put on the large and ill-fitting armor that almost slipped off. He then picked up the helmet and hung it loosely on his head.
He stood up, weapon in hand, and lifted the thatch that covered the only entrance and exit of the outpost, looking out with a curse. He probably thought it was another large group of wild beasts migrating. After all, he had seen a lot of that kind of thing. Sometimes they would take advantage of the other party's migration to capture a large number of wild beasts that could be rolled into balls. Whether to eat them or tame them and use them as useful tools, it was a good idea.
He had even seen some bored nobles who would specifically tame non-aggressive beasts with the most beautiful shells, and then equip them with expensive decorations in order to compete and show off with each other. Even the queen was not immune to this.
It was not until he clearly saw the knights rushing towards him in the distance that his throat, which had been like a broken gong, was instantly blocked, as if something was choking his throat and he could not make a sound.
He was so scared that he fell to the ground, then rolled and crawled over the soil. In just a moment, he disappeared completely.
Chunchun also noticed the small mound in front, the unnatural traces, and the stacked straw. All of this pointed to the fact that insects once lived here, perhaps just now, or perhaps now.
This was probably an outpost of that kingdom, which meant a lot of things. Perhaps their whereabouts had been discovered, or perhaps their surprise attack had reached the highest level of nobles in that country.
But for Chun, none of this matters. All he has to do is lead his army to flatten the kingdom.
The knights rolled over the tiny mound with great fanfare. When they left, the mound had completely collapsed. Apart from the scattered straw embedded on it, it looked no different from the surrounding land.
The fleeing bug finally ran back to Emma safely. In panic, he reported the situation to the patrol guards on the outermost layer.
"Insects are attacking the city, insects are attacking the city, no, no, those blind and ignorant beasts!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, as if he wanted to vent all the panic he had suffered before. Fortunately, the order of the kingdom had been established, and there was not much panic. It was even extremely orderly, but this order was based on a numb obedience, so they were all waiting for orders from the nobles or the queen. If not, they would just stand there stupidly.
This country is buried so deep underground that it has a pyramid-shaped structure. The space becomes smaller as you go down, and the smaller it is, the more exquisite it is. Of course, the small here is only relative. On the top, there is enough space for hundreds or even thousands of insects to live, but down below, there is probably only enough space for a few nobles to fight over.
So until now, they have not established an effective defense system. Even though it is useless and ridiculous, it is at least the product of their struggle and proves their last contribution to the kingdom.
"what?"
The Queen looked at the guards around her in disbelief, and even felt a bit of irony.
"You mean to say that kingdom sent troops? They chased us across such a thick dust storm, without even being able to determine our whereabouts? It seems I overestimated them. I thought they were formidable opponents, but they turned out to be reckless beasts. My loyal guards—"
While she was still making some slow and meaningless speeches, the Knights' invasion had already arrived. The inverted triangle structure made the transmission of information extremely difficult. Perhaps they had never imagined that one day they would have to fight such an unprepared battle.
They had never imagined that there would be a country like Holynest, destroyed by an unexpected disaster brought by the gods, nor had they ever thought that the arrival of disaster would never wait for anyone. Perhaps by the time these high-ranking nobles finally realized their mistake and woke up, it would be too late.
No matter how stupid those soldiers were, no matter how obedient they were to the orders given to them, they would still resist when faced with the slaughter that was coming upon them.
Even if some resistance is meaningless.
The sound of sharp iron clashing continued on the battlefield, but both sides of the war were exceptionally silent, with no roaring or shouting. However, whether in terms of strict discipline or tacit cooperation, the Knights were far superior to those scattered teams formed by snacks.
The insects fell, their corpses piled up, and were burned to ashes by the flames. Weapons collided, flesh and blood were torn, and each insect was covered with some dusty ashes. The cruelty of war was undoubtedly revealed, but no one present showed empathy.
Xiaoliu didn't care about this kind of thing. Wherever she walked, there were corpses everywhere, skinny and withered bodies.
Little Red Riding Hood had no way of empathizing with a race that was completely different from her own. Moreover, she was also a warrior with a sword and had seen blood. How could she be frightened by those transparent and slightly milky liquids? Even if some bright red was mixed in, it would not affect the overall color tone.
The first brief encounter was easier than one could imagine. Even though Ghost did not make a move the entire time and just stood there bored and looked at the enemy from a high place, the sharp knife formed by him and Green was enough to completely cut the opponent in half. The formation was already loose and in a mess, and white bone spurs appeared densely on the battlefield. Similarly, the vigorous flames burned more fiercely. Except for those ordinary insects that collapsed and fled in all directions and were deliberately spared by them, no insect could escape.
338 The imminent defeat
The rout happened quickly.
Most Mai people would subconsciously flee downwards. In their impression, the lower the land is, the safer it is. As for why, they have never carefully studied it, they just follow their instincts.
There were also some who had seen through it long ago, who understood it clearly, and who looked at this country that had fallen into war and left without looking back.
They were unwilling to live this submissive life as slaves, but they had no ability to change, let alone resist. They didn't even dare to escape, as escape would only end their lives faster. The Queen would chop off their heads without any hesitation, accuse them in disgust, and then throw their bones or undecayed flesh into the furnace, watching the fire burn fiercely and then being burned to death together.
As the defeats became more and more frequent, coupled with the conscious indulgence of Chunchun and Green, the nobles who were chatting in a long conversation the moment before were surrounded by ragged civilians the next moment. They put down the exquisite tea utensils in their hands with surprise, tremblingly accused the other party of rebellion, or subconsciously ran away.
Some nobles ran away, but some did not. They were swept forward by the restless swarm of insects. Once they stopped, they would be trampled, beheaded, and die.
Until finally, the ragged civilians began to desperately bang on the palace gate. Even though their ten fingers were bleeding, they were still afraid and refused to stop.
Even the most arrogant queen would realize the seriousness of the matter. After all, arrogance and stupidity are not the same prerequisites at all.
You have to know that she is the queen. If she doesn't have the skills, how could she stand out from so many sisters?
She gave orders to the loyal guards, and then loudly scolded the civilians. The shackles in their blood forced them to calm down, but some of them had gone crazy and could not control themselves no matter what means they used.
"Quiet!" She was exceptionally calm in this situation. After all, she knew very well what a mob her subjects were. If the other kingdom was really on par with them, and they came out in full force this time, it would not be difficult to understand that they could break through the defenses of those idiots above.
But it doesn't matter. With her elite troops, these small setbacks can be overcome quickly. Maybe she will have a chance to counterattack.
"Stop making such a fuss! My guards will take care of everything. As for you cowardly fools, just stay here quietly."
As she finished her last sentence, she picked up her weapon herself. There was no fear in her eyes, only fanaticism.
But the next moment, her magnificent palace began to collapse, with layers of cracks spreading densely across it.
The fragments kept falling down and hitting the ground heavily. There was even one that looked like it was going to rush towards her and passed by her in extreme danger.
Pure and Green broke the wall roughly and rushed in straight away.
Besides them, Tony Stark also witnessed this bloody massacre.
He looked at the cruel scenes in front of him and felt how disgusted they were. Everyone in the chat group tried their best to stop the war, but in the end, they took the initiative to start the war and became the bloody executioners.
Although he didn't know the specific cause and effect of the incident, based on his judgment of the so-called Void God, they must have intended to completely occupy the kingdom, so they fabricated a reason and excuse. Assholes like this who slaughtered others for no reason to satisfy their own selfish desires were truly...
Hard, hard, hard fist.
【Iron Man】Ordinary rich people: What do you think?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but open the chat group and asked about the newcomer's status with concern.
He was afraid that this inexperienced member, who had not yet learned about the more positive deeds of the chat group, would be led astray by this cruel war for no reason.
[Card Master] Little Red Riding Hood: You're so weird! How can you ask such a weird question?
[Iron Man] Ordinary Rich Man: Because this is your first time participating in such a large-scale war, right? So as a veteran in the group who has already experienced it, it's natural to ask.
He originally wanted to tell the other party the truth, and maybe even get his help, but the other party was right under the nose of the evil god. He didn't dare to imagine that if he revealed the truth to the other party, the other party would do something stupid on impulse, or could not hold back his thoughts and be seen by the evil god.
After all, even ghosts have the ability to guess other people's lies and emotions, so that bastard named the God of Void must have it too.
[Card Master] Little Red Riding Hood: How did this become the first time? Have you forgotten what happened last time? Last time there was a problem in your world, we fixed it.
The wars back then were much more grand than they are now, but the mechas were not cool enough, Little Red Riding Hood couldn't help but think.
While she was daydreaming, she threw the transparent card in her hand without hesitation. The card spun rapidly and finally turned into an ordinary sword, which easily cut off the head of an unlucky insect.
[Iron Man] Ordinary Rich Man: Sorry, this is my negligence. Please ask me a few more questions. Let’s ask, what are they going to do to civilians?
Little Red Riding Hood nodded subconsciously in surprise, and only after a moment did she realize that she should reply to other people's messages?
[Card Master] Little Red Riding Hood: Of course you can. I have no objection to this. It can be considered a complimentary service. However, I think you should wait until the war is over before asking these questions. Why would you ask your commander questions in the middle of such an intense battle?
At this time, the so-called commander in Little Red Riding Hood's mouth was Pure. Zheng came out of the swarm of insects unscrupulously. White magic exploded densely, and the white light array lit up and dimmed.
As for commanding... what command? No matter how many commands there are, is it as exciting as killing people personally?
Of course, once it finds that someone has completely lost all fighting spirit and hope and is just running away, it will not stop him. It does not like to kill people who surrender because that would be too weak and incompetent.
Everything seems so close, only the ghosts sit there silently looking at what has happened in this country. Even if they are the biggest culprit of the cause of this war, it probably doesn't matter to the ghosts.
339 There are no innocents on the battlefield
The fighting on the battlefield has not stopped yet.
At this time, this race was terrifyingly stubborn. As long as there was no order from the Queen, it seemed that there was no option to surrender.
So everything is still going on.
Even though it was the first time for a legion war of such a large scale, or even the first time for such a large-scale cruel and bloody massacre, the Void Knights never showed any discomfort. Their faces covered by masks were so indifferent, and they did not make a sound.
They neither feel the excitement of dominating others from this fighting, nor do they feel the sadness of the transience of life from this cruelty.
They are just carrying out the tasks they are supposed to complete.
He repeatedly raised the bone nail in his hand and stabbed it out sharply.
The tattered armor of those bugs hardly provided any resistance. The sharp bone nails easily pierced their targets, and then they quickly retreated. Bowl-sized wounds appeared on their chests, and their bright eyes gradually lost their luster. Then, with a thud, they fell to the ground, swept away by the black flames, and turned to ashes.
Of course, Green's flames could not only devour the defenseless dead. He was just clearing the corpses on the battlefield to avoid obstruction. Those living insects fell into his flames, and a short and painful wail symbolized the end of their lives. After that, there was no sound and no corpse.
Pure means are no slower than Green. Even when dense white semicircular or circular spells explode in the insect pile, they are often accompanied by the evaporation of all corpses, not to mention those pure white interlaced ground spikes.
However, Chunchun knew very well that those seemingly pure white spikes had actually been replaced by a pitch-black abyss in their cores, which had almost completely permeated all of his spells. This was an uncontrollable and even irreversible situation. The only thing to be thankful for was that it was the void itself, and the layer of pure white on the outside was the product of acquired teaching, which even covered its instincts. Chunchun was just trying to retrieve what he should retrieve.
First came the soldiers in tattered armor, then the neatly dressed elite soldiers, and then the nobles who wore silk with a layer of fancy armor on the outside. The resistance became weaker and weaker, and the insects seemed to be ready to flee at any time.
I don't know why, but no one was able to take that step first.
They are self-centered, only concerned with obeying without knowing why they obey, living in a muddle-headed state, unable to see any way to rise or transform themselves. It is a country without salvation and hope.
Just thinking so.
It didn't know when it stopped waving the bone nails in its hands that were almost soaked in blood. It just stood calmly in the center of the battlefield, watching the Void Knights rush past it like a torrent, extremely calmly as if it was making the final judgment on this country.
"That's enough! Stop!"
A high-pitched roar echoed across the battlefield. All the Mai people panicked for a moment, then stopped looking around. However, the Knights ignored them and just silently increased their killing efficiency. After all, those standing in front of them were enemies, and those who laid down their weapons were also enemies.
"I said enough, stop."
The voice already had some tearful sobbing tone, and he simply raised his hand and made a gesture.
"stop."
Its voice was not light, but it was not deep and powerful either. However, all the knights stopped in unison without any hesitation or dragging their feet, which was in stark contrast to the insects on the opposite side.
Purely looked at the empress who was standing on the land of what was once a magnificent palace but was now just a pile of ruins and screaming in despair quite calmly.
"Why!"
The queen asked in a roar. She knew she shouldn't ask such a stupid question, because if her question angered the other party, it would mean that the kingdom would be completely destroyed. But now it was almost there. Only five or six out of ten of her people were killed, and everything that was once prosperous was destroyed and only ruins remained.
But there are always some insects, there are always some fires left, even if they become weak, even if everything has to start from scratch, even if they may be forced to migrate, and now it is even worse than when she took over, but as long as the tribe is still there, there will always be hope, there will always be hope of reproduction and recovery.
"The price of offense."
Even though I told her this, she still couldn't help but be stunned after hearing the answer she already knew.
A moment later, she was crying and roaring.
"Mad, crazy, you are all crazy!"
