Chapter 274: Alienated Soldiers of the United Roman Empire

I have led my army in battles for many years, killed countless people, and was ordered by the king to cut down mountains and destroy temples. I have seen countless strange things and killed countless ghosts, but I have never been so shocked.

It is a creature that is like a demon but not a demon, like a beast but not a beast, and like a human but not a human.

They thirst for blood, enjoy the ultimate depravity, and become miserable and crazy the moment they return to peace.

They are slaves pursuing self-destruction, souls that have become filthy from prosperity, and walking corpses that have lost their meaning.

If there is only one of this thing, it is a rare and precious thing.

Ten, collections of dignitaries.

Hundreds of small disasters that must be cleared.

Thousands, ten thousand, one hundred thousand——

So the army of the living dead, wearing armor and driven by desire, stood in front of someone.

At this point, I was shocked to realize that it was a natural disaster.

This is a calamity for humanity that must not be allowed to spread.

The resolute murderous intent was boiling.

Shuoyue had never felt such intense emotions from his spiritual base. That famous general had always been synonymous with not showing his emotions. In the ever-changing battle situation, only an indomitable spirit could stand out.

However, at this moment.

A bone-chilling cold flame ignited on the eternal ice.

"Line up to meet the enemy!"

The bloody evil swept like a storm, transforming into swords, spears, and halberds standing in the front. The more than one hundred remaining soldiers under Shuoyue's command also cheered up and withstood the desperate situation brought by the Death Gate. They each held their weapons and looked at the monsters in front of them with firm eyes.

Yes, monster—

Even though they were wearing the military uniforms of the Roman United Empire, there was no light of human wisdom on the faces of the human figures that swarmed over. There were only unconscious groans like wild beasts, and the instinct to pounce forward.

The dirty blood melted their eyeballs, and the jagged scales clung to the bones, piercing the flesh, and broken tentacles grew outward.

They are not followers of the Old Ones, but their way of existence is even more despicable and lowly. They are completely like pathetic ants that have lost their human nobility and are still struggling in the mud.

What kind of seasoning would be needed to boil humans into this state?

Indulge in the pleasure of killing and let this emotion fill your limbs.

If you enjoy the suffering of living beings, you will exploit everything wantonly to kill and plunder.

Fallen into the desires of darkness, then kneel before the desires and give up thinking.

In the desperate situation of the Death Gate, what the Shuoyue army encountered were thousands of such terrifying enemies. No one knew what the United Empire Army had experienced, but they only knew that these monsters were enemies and had to be trampled in order to survive.

With low roars, the monsters pounced forward. The water, fire, wind and thunder in the Bagua formation had no effect on them. They only destroyed their clothes and exposed their alien bodies.

Breaking through the Bagua Formation's indiscriminate attack, the icy blood evil transformed into all kinds of weapons and rushed forward, stabbing fiercely into their bodies.

What made Shuoyue secretly relieved was that the blood evil took effect. The enemy at the front let out a last unwilling cry and then turned into ashes, without even a corpse left.

But the dark tide of "beasts" would not stop because of death. The enemies who had lost their minds continued to fight one after another, and soon fed the blood-killing weapons with their lives. Then, they finally howled and engaged in close combat with Shuoyue's soldiers.

The people in the front row began to fight, but the enemies in the back row were not so lucky - the giant terracotta warrior that looked like it was carved from a blood-red gem stood up, swung the halberd in his hand, and smashed from bottom to top with a blow that was so powerful that it could shake the sky and crack the earth!

Amid a rumbling sound that was more violent than thunder and lightning, the white-haired commander's robe fluttered as he spoke calmly:

"Don't fight too long, move quickly."

No matter how strong his murderous intent was, he would not fight the enemy in such an environment.

What's more, the Eight Stone Soldiers Formation cuts them off from the main force. It is still unknown whether a team of only a few hundred people can defeat these monsters.

Just look at the tragic scene of the confrontation.

The spear thrust out and pierced into the enemy's body, but did not bring up a trace of blood. The soldiers of the United Empire did not even make a sound, but just stared at the spearman's heart with fanatical eyes. They dropped the long object in their hands that was in the way, and their archers turned into claws with sharp scales sticking out from between their claws. They suddenly pounced forward, knocked the shield-bearing soldier away, knocked down the spearman, tore open his chest, and lowered his head.

He began to take big bites of his still beating heart.

Of course, there were also shield soldiers who managed to block the enemy's offensive. The soldiers behind them fought hard. After the injuries accumulated to a certain extent, the enemies that looked like monsters had to fall down, but they were still twitching unconsciously. Tentacles suddenly bloomed behind them. If they didn't evacuate in time, they would be dragged over and become flesh and blood food.

There was a throbbing feeling in his spirit, and Shuoyue knew that it was the soldiers' souls wailing, protesting against him, the commander who had suppressed their fear.

If this continues, even the most advanced spiritual base will not be able to stop the soldiers from fleeing, and once that happens, it will be the general's dereliction of duty.

Must escape before this.

Therefore, Shuoyue no longer worried about the storage of blood evil. The terracotta warriors behind him waved their halberds to clear the way ahead. As he raised his right hand, more blood-colored terracotta warriors as tall as humans took shape. Feng Yong stepped forward and joined the battle, fighting the enemy on behalf of the soldiers with flesh and blood. He tore the enemies' bodies apart with an expressionless face and crushed their heads until they could no longer move.

The imperial soldiers were stunned, but they unconsciously followed Shuoyue's orders and ran towards the death gate.

Heading north, breaking through hell or the underworld, crashing through the towering and heavy mountains, filling up the turbulent and roaring rivers, smashing the massive thunder, and breaking the fire that was falling like rain. In the ever-changing formations, the soldiers ran without thinking, until only the bizarre abstract paintings were left in their eyes, and only the commander's calm and plain shouts remained in their ears.

The innate Bagua contains the heaven and earth, the universe, yin and yang. It has never been as simple as a formation, but a world, an entire world.

The gate of life is in the northeast, which is an undisguised fact. However, under the control of the dominant party, where is east and west, and where is north and south?

Once he falls into this small world, he will be at the mercy of Zhuge Liang from now on. If Kong Ming had not led the army to retreat and failed to control it personally, Lu Xun would never have been able to get out of this formation.

However, it is extremely difficult to evolve a small world with the formation. The white-haired commander always judges the opportunity calmly. The blood demon behind him never stops attacking, and tirelessly beats on the invisible magic barrier around him, creating a piece of stained barrier.

At the moment when the operation of the formation was slowed down, Shuoyue exhaled and shouted, and a bloody aura rose up in the sky, shaking the formation like a meteorite falling from bottom to top. Then he rolled up the soldiers behind him, turned into a bloody light, rushed out of the gate of life where there was no time to turn back, and disappeared.

At that moment, a young man with his eyes closed in the distance suddenly opened his mouth and vomited large mouthfuls of blood, and the formation plate that evolved the heaven and earth in front of the table was instantly shattered.

The Eight Stone Soldiers Formation was broken.

But before he fell into coma, the young man had a relieved smile on his face.

In the wilderness, the soldiers who had managed to escape with the protection of Shuoyue looked around in horror, only to see the stone pillars turning into powder and slowly disappearing, as well as the large army that had arrived behind them and was standing still. They then breathed a sigh of relief, their backs soaked with sweat.

Counting the number of people, there were hundreds of light cavalry entering the battle front, but now there are only more than dozens of people.

If it weren't for the protection of Shuoyue Xuesha, I'm afraid no one would have been able to get out.

However, the white-haired general who had made great contributions was gazing at the fortress looming in the distance, deep in thought.

"Rosario."

"Here!" Rosario, who was ordered to guard the rear and was not trapped, was full of energy and rode forward.

"According to the original plan, we will head towards our destination and set up a base. I will go out on my own to conduct reconnaissance."

"Commander, this...!" Rosario subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he glanced at his compatriots lying on the ground, nine out of ten of them dead, and the expressions of survival and fear on their faces, he was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Just like that, one man and one horse, they once again took steps forward.

Chapter 275 Leonidas, Darius III, Alexander

L

The bloody dusk spread, and the general on a white horse traveled through the mountains and wilderness, with no expression on his handsome face.

In his mind, those humans who were bound by the law of depravity and unable to be reborn were still howling in pain, trying to spread despair to all living things around them.

There is no doubt that even the soldiers of the United Empire have been killed by some kind of existence and have become monsters that are neither human nor ghost.

The so-called certain existence, to put it more bluntly, is the beast.

They are the beasts of original sin, they are called "human evil", and they are the great disasters rejected by human history.

Although human evil is evil, it can never be eradicated. As long as humans exist, it will occur, but humans must overcome it. The so-called human evil also means "evil that humans eliminate", not "evil that destroys humans".

The relationship between "human evil" and "Summoning of Heroic Spirits" is equivalent to the self-destruction mechanism of mankind and its safety device - in other words, Chaldea, which possesses the magic of summoning heroic spirits, stood on the opposite side from the beginning.

The second singularity encountered an enemy that was no less powerful than the Demon King and Tima. If Fujimaru knew about this, he would definitely cry out loud.

Shuoyue curled the corners of his mouth, but for some reason he couldn't smile.

Such a situation, such a doomsday, had occurred in the land of China more than 300 years ago... or thousands of years ago.

The white-haired general closed his eyes. The wailing human figures on the ground, the smiling demon beside him, the "beast" he pushed down with his own hands, the bloody sky, the hell under his feet...all the past events flowed into his soul from the spiritual base.

"Is that so? I understand why you came here... and I also understand what I should do next."

With his ruby-red eyes open, the man had a captivating aura in the night, making it hard to tell whether he was a human or a demon.

In other words, if you want to defeat non-human creatures, you must also transform yourself into a dragon.

Soon, the city ahead came into view. The white-haired general dismounted from his horse. The blood-stained figure behind him took the shape of a bird, flapping its wings. It flew over the unguarded city wall and headed towards the quietest but also the most dangerous place.

The lights were sparse, and the flames on the candles shivered, fearfully depicting every figure in the room, intermittently, and then disappearing in a flash.

If any of the Garis were here, they would not believe their eyes.

Because this is a shocking scene no less than the "Gathering of Bear Kings" - in addition to Darius III, who is dark-skinned and muscular, and Leonidas, who spreads his chest to reveal his eight-pack abs, and is strong and powerful, there is also a handsome red-haired young man with a delicate face and an increasingly ferocious beast head on his shoulder, sitting in the first seat with a gloomy look in his eyes.

At this point, there was no need to hide the real name of the beautiful boy. He was the young form of the conqueror king Iskandar, Alexander, who still had the skill of "beautiful boy".

It is worth mentioning that Alexander, the conqueror king, and Darius III, who had blocked his way several times, were strong rivals. They were opponents who would fight to the death whenever they met.

But now, these three brothers (including the future one) sat together obediently, staring at something on the table with distressed expressions.

He was a young man with waist-length hair, wearing glasses, a weak complexion, and blood at the corners of his mouth.

It's not a bad idea to call her the 'Queen' of the King of Conquerors (smirking).

"When can this thing be used?" However, Alexander's tone at this time was like he was treating some kind of object.

"His spiritual foundation is normal, but it seems that his mind has suffered a shock." Darius III replied calmly.

Yes, you heard it right—Darius III, who only shouted “Ohhhhh” all day long, has spoken!

"We can't rule out the possibility of using this to escape the battle." Leonidas followed.

This seems to be a very peaceful picture...if you ignore the beast head on Alexander's shoulder, the sharp scales on Darius' back, and the worms wriggling on Leonidas' chest.

Obviously, it was not just Alexander who was controlled, but his followers were able to communicate in human language thanks to their servant bodies.

It seems that the United Empire has completely fallen. I don’t know what’s happening with Fujimaru and Nero... Shuoyue, who was eavesdropping with the help of his familiar, seemed to be thinking about something.

The conversation in the room continues.

"Where did Gula go?"

"Gaul, at the forefront, he is very interested in Servant Caesar."

"Just wait a little longer. Invidia is on his way here. Once his body is taken over, this place will completely become our hunting ground."

"Humph, the magic base from that country is troublesome. They can actually protect themselves. We..."

"Arcadia."

"Tsk, I see. Speaking of which, that person hasn't come yet?"

"The 'Eight Stone Soldiers Formation' has been broken. I'm afraid he is on his way."

"That's good. When the time comes, we will reveal our true forms together. Even he won't be able to survive."

"This is no longer the era of that man. He is no longer a great warrior who can command tens of thousands of troops. Instead, he is just a wandering lonely soul."

The room fell silent after the decisive judgment. The blood-red bird eavesdropping outside the window also flapped its wings and silently merged into the deep night, finally folding its wings and perching on the shoulder of the white-haired general.

On the hillside, the man stroked the horse, his blood-red eyes bright.

"As expected."

If they are really his followers, then Shuo Yue as it is now is no match for them.

The spirit base that possessed him was a general, and the general's abilities were all built on the soldiers. With the current number and quality of soldiers, it would be difficult to even annihilate the controlled Roman United Empire Army, let alone compete with the followers.

If a real fight breaks out, it would probably be like the Earth Defense Force fighting against the Chaos God Grimd, which would be clear sign of death.

Sakutsuki needs servants to join before he can take out the divine rod and transform into Auroralman, but only defeated followers can get new operators to join... Well, it's a vicious circle.

But if there was really nothing we could do, would Shuoyue still come here?

Invisible and colorless magic power surged from the contract, flowed into the white-haired man's hands, and condensed into crystals.

"Let me place my trust in you. Also, I'm sorry, my Master."

After apologizing to Nero who had had a large amount of magic power drained away, Shuoyue waved his hand and the bird on his shoulder flew up, swallowed the bright red crystal in one gulp, flapped its wings, and disappeared into the night again.

At the same time, the white-haired general mounted his horse without any reluctance and turned away.
