People in the old man ring, join the chat group

Looking up, he saw a bird-like creature with huge wings rushing towards him with heavy steps.

The whole body of the creature was black, but there was an inexplicable light cyan fluorescence around the edge.

That's the Death Ritual Bird, or the Bird of Death as it's called.

The existence of this kind of creature is very ancient. In the era before the golden tree appeared, this group of dead birds already existed in the junction.

They are existences that specialize in death, but unlike Queen Xiaose's destined death, they are only responsible for baptizing the dead with spiritual fire.

He is also the keeper of the spirit fire in the cemetery.

In the beginning, the death of creatures in the junction was carried out by priests who signed a contract with the bird of death.

And the mother of this group of dead birds is also an intriguing existence, a kind of existence called double birds.

This kind of double bird is said to be the messenger of external gods, and its status is somewhat similar to the two fingers. In other words, they are the two fingers of that era.

However, there is no trace of the twin birds anymore, only the eight dead birds left in the entire junction.

--when!

The hook used to dig out ashes hit his shield hard, but was bounced back.

The faded man who took out the god-body sword with his backhand gathered his strength a little bit, and a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared on the sword, and he swung it forward immediately.

"Death to the Lord!"

Before the huge bird of death could react, the golden torrent that gushed in front of it swallowed it in a blink of an eye, and disappeared without a trace together with the mountain top not far away.

After killing the damn bird of death, he put away the sword of the god body, and looked at the place where the bird of death once existed with a puzzled face.

Ever since he learned about the existence of these dead birds, he hadn't understood one thing.

Why are these birds of death attacking themselves?

Why do you always want to burn yourself with spiritual fire?

Logically speaking, this group of things should use flexibility to burn those dead people, but I am a faded person, not a dead person, so why would I attack myself?

Could it be that in the eyes of these guys, he is a damned existence?

I can't figure it out...

"Forget it, let's go to Red Lion City to participate in the battle festival."

He who summoned Torret simply stopped thinking about it, and set off directly in the direction of the Red Lion City.

-------------------------------------

In front of the Red Lion City.

Fireworks linger in the sky in front of the Unbroken Bridge leading to the Red Lion City.

Countless red lion soldiers were fighting with the group of strange-looking huge black dogs with weapons in hand.

After the black dog is killed, it will be thrown into the fire and burned, and this is the source of the smoke and dust here.

These black dogs are all mutated creatures infected by scarlet. Besides, there are also some oversized but flightless crows.

These two kinds of monsters can be said to be the specialty of the current Gelid Plain.

The Faded Ones ignored the group of monsters and handed them all over to the soldiers of the Red Lion City.

Riding Torret over the smoked city wall and successfully reaching the Unbroken Bridge.

However, just when he was about to teleport into the Red Lion City through the portal, Melina's figure quietly appeared again.

"...Hello, Fader."

"Well, hello, long time no see."

Seeing Melina's arrival, he naturally stopped the movement of teleportation, walked back to the blessed place and sat down.

I don't know whether it's the blessed land that has a purification function or something, but the surrounding air is not as turbid and choking as other places.

"...Well, long time no see."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Melina's appearance this time is a little different from before?

And apart from taking the initiative to call, it was the first time that Melina took the initiative to appear here in the Red Lion City.

Could something be wrong?

"...Are you going to challenge the demigod General Lataen?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

As he spoke, he took out the holy grail bottle containing the red dew drops from his backpack and took a sip as a drink.

Immediately handed it to Melina, but she declined it.

"...No, there's no problem, I'm here just to remind you. Unlike the Greco before, Lataen is very strong."

"Known as the Broken Star General, he broke the law of the starry sky alone and defeated the scarlet and corrupt Marenia. He is the strongest existence among all demigods."

"...So, I hope you don't underestimate the enemy, this trip is extremely dangerous, please be careful."

Melina's words couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, and he looked over with a playful face.

"Oh, is Miss Melina caring about me? Are you afraid that something will happen to me? I'm so touched..."

The smile in my heart could hardly be contained.

There is one thing to say, this kind of situation is really very rare, even in the past reincarnation is very rare, it can even be said to be rare.

Could it be that my sincerity touched this piece of wood?

When I think of this, my heart is full of emotions.

My own efforts were not in vain.

Woooooo...Melina...My Melina...Finally got the hang of it...

"Since Miss Melina has said so, can you give me a hug? As encouragement before the expedition."

“…”

Melina just looked at him like this for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Then he slowly opened his mouth and said, "...if that's what you expect."

The robe that covered the whole body was gently lifted, and the arms stretched out from it, and embraced him again.

Take him slowly into your arms.

Well, it's big, soft, and fragrant.

Still that familiar feeling.

It is obvious that every time they come here, but every hug is so comfortable.

The embrace of the older wife is awesome.

If possible, he hopes to stay in this embrace for 100 years.

However, having said that, the arms of the tablet are called tablets, so what should the arms of Melina's size be called?

At the same time, Melina's pretty face, which embraced him in her arms, blushed involuntarily.

There was that inexplicable throbbing in my heart again.

Although she didn't hate it, she was still a little scared.

She was afraid that what would she do if she liked this feeling?

If you know your mission, can you still get rid of this inexplicable throbbing?

However, at this moment, she still chooses to enjoy this unique thrill.

After a long time, the two finally separated again.

The Faded One reluctantly left the arms of his eldest wife, Melina.

"...I wish you prosperous martial arts and a successful start."

After Melina left such words, she disappeared again.

Only the little bit of fluorescence left, and the unique fragrance in the air proved that she had been here before.

"Okay, it's time to go to the battle festival!"

Having enjoyed the hug of his eldest wife, he suddenly gained a lot of energy, like a fully charged robot.

He arrived at the Red Lion City through the portal, and soon arrived at the square.

On the square, he once again saw those familiar figures, all of whom were heroes from all over the border.

"Warriors, welcome!"

On the city wall, such a voice suddenly came.

The person standing on the high platform is [Strange Knight] Jie Lian, who is the host of this battle festival.

He is also the recruiter who brings together many heroes here.

At the same time, he was also the one who hunted down Teacher Selian.

As I said before, the Battle Ceremony is to present a battle of glory to [Shattered Star General] Lataen, to end his fate completely.

The same is true for the heroes gathered here, all gathered here with the mentality of wanting to kill Lataen——

I hope to use my own strength to surpass this Rataen, who is dubbed the "strongest demigod".

It's just that, in this gathering, there is no werewolf Blaze, and likewise, Serolina will not appear here again...

"Oh, you really came too!"

There was such a mid-spirited voice from the front.

Looking around, I saw a creature that looked like a big pot slowly walking towards him.

"Well, long time no see, Alexander, it seems that you are doing well."

It was the guy he had helped on the Saint Bridge leading to Galede - [Iron Fist] Alexander, who was a warrior pot.

One of the purposes of Alexander's coming here was to defeat Ratan.

The second is to collect the corpses of heroes left on the battlefield and use them to improve themselves.

But this road has an end after all...

"Hahahaha, I've had a really good life recently, but you look better. I've heard your name in many places."

While Alexander let out a big laugh, he suddenly changed the topic, showing mystery:

"But having said that, do you know who this battle ceremony is for sending on the road?"

77. Pre-war preparations

"General Broken Star", "Strongest Demigod", "God of War"

Latarn, who has countless titles, did not pursue the rotten knight after stunning the scarlet-blooming Marenia.

Instead, he ordered his subordinates to build a high wall of smoked fire to prevent the spread of scarlet corruption, completely trapped in the land of Gelid.

Then he exiled himself to the distant battlefield desert, allowing the scarlet corruption to erode from the outside to the inside, gradually falling into madness.

While becoming a beast that can only devour corpses, it is also a battle waiting for a new hero to grant him a glorious death.

It can be said that Ratarn was the most promising demigod to become King of Elden in that Shattered War if he had not been corrupted by the scarlet corruption.

The premise is that there is no thorn of rejection at the entrance of the golden tree.

And there are no ifs in all this.

"Oh, what a real hero..."

Standing on the city wall and looking at the desert in the distance, I can't help but sigh.

No matter how many times, he will make such an evaluation of Rataen——

This is indeed a real man.

However, this General Ratan is not perfect.

Although breaking the law of star circulation can prevent new meteorites from falling and prevent other aliens from invading, it also seals the fate of the Kalia royal family.
