Facing the torture of the threat of death, those who were not personally involved in it could not understand the pain of being on tenterhooks. The dead silence on the battlefield did not only mean that the dead could no longer talk, but also the living did not know what to say. After a long time.
When there were no more light bombs flying in the sky, no one was running, no one was fleeing, no one was screaming hysterically for help, and no one was crying and begging for mercy, the matter seemed to have come to an end.
The Forbidden Spell was over.
The Revival Army, who were holding up their shields to defend, looked outside through some slits. Her Royal Highness, the Princess Royal, who was standing at the outermost circle, did not make any defensive moves. She just stood there quietly. They put down their shields in fear and looked around blankly. The countless corpses lying on the ground in the forest showed how cruel and ruthless the massacre that had just happened was.
"They are still alive."
A soft cry broke the silence. Everyone looked in the direction of the person who made the sound. It was the pursuers who were originally following closely behind. Most of them were lying in a pool of blood, but Meyer Kohler and a few others who had defected fell to the ground and watched everything that had happened and ended in horror.
This soft cry also woke them up. The people led by Meyer Kohler rolled and crawled, trying to escape from all of this. Only then did someone in the Revival Army remembered to chase after this group of ungrateful lads and make them pay the price for their betrayal. However, Mira Salian stopped them and said, "There is no need to chase after them."
"Your Highness, those traitors deceived us and led us into an ambush. If we don't punish them, how can we be worthy of our comrades who sacrificed themselves? " An emotional member of the Revival Army, whose companions were also killed in the retreat, said resentfully.
"They are no longer important. This debt will be settled sooner or later. "After saying that, Mira Salian walked away, intending to return to the Tower of the Great Sage. That was the source of the matter, and she had to see it with her own eyes.
Some loyal old ministers wanted to stop the actions of the people who were loyal to them, but no matter whether they blocked with their bodies or tried to catch the Princess Royal, they were all dodged by her ingenious body movements. In the end, they finally realized that the strength of this princess was far beyond their understanding.
In the eyes of others, the two warriors of the Divine Palace were just ordinary maids, but they followed without hesitation. They were not inexperienced little girls. They had also fought bloody battles and faced fatal dangers before, but none of them were like today. That kind of helplessness and suffocation of being at the mercy of others.
When they came out of the woods, the glare of the sun blinded them for a moment. When his eyes gradually got used to it and his vision recovered, what he saw was an unforgettable scene. The empty space outside the Tower of the Great Sage was littered with corpses, and the flowing blood had gathered into a pool of blood. As for the pagoda, it was completely unscathed. It stood there in the same posture as it had for a thousand years.
There were no tragic heroes, no powerhouses who could turn the tide, no loyal people who sacrificed themselves for the cause, and no enemies. All of the soldiers and nobles who had followed Marquis Neumann's orders would forever remain silent on this piece of land without any results. They come here, and then they die.
Even the veterans who thought that they were accustomed to the cruelty of life and death could not help but feel a raging fury in their hearts when faced with such a scene. Who was to blame for such worthless deaths?
The dazed crowd noticed that the person who had pledged allegiance to them raised his head and looked straight in a direction. Everyone followed his gaze and saw that it was the gap on the third floor of the magic tower. The tower master and her apprentices were standing at the edge.
Two skinny girls clutched the hem of their teacher's clothes tightly and buried their faces in the robe. They could not bear to look directly. However, as the culprit behind all of this, she seemed to be overlooking the battlefield and admiring her own achievements. She was so arrogant and conceited.
However, in Mira Salian's eyes, this was not the scene. She saw the tower master's confused and even regretful expression. She frowned and bit her lower lip. She did not feel proud of what she had done. Was it pity? Or was there still a trace of human kindness in her heart?
"Captain of the White Mist Warriors, I can't stand that person looking at us gloatingly. I'm going to ask him why he committed such a crime. "" Let's go together. "
The two subordinates' eyesight was not good enough to see the tower master's expression clearly. Instead, they looked at things with preconceived notions. Driven by their sense of justice, they did not wait for a reply from their superior. They were ready to use divine spells and jump up to the third floor in one breath to go to the tower master.
The low chanting of the divine language was pleasant to the ears. Green halos appeared continuously from their ankles to below their knees. The accumulated strength was enough to support them to jump up. Just as they were about to bend their knees and jump up, the halos on their calves suddenly spread to their whole bodies, at the same time making their bodies stiff and difficult to move. They smelled incense and seemed to hear whispers in their ears.
After a while, the two girls regained their freedom of movement. They looked at the captain of the temple doubtfully. Was it because the captain did not agree with their actions that he used divine spells to stop them?
Mira Salian knew the problem of the two girls and said first, "Do you feel that your strength has increased a little?"
The two girls nodded.
"Did you just hear some kind of voice?"
They nodded again.
"Congratulations, you have also become the ones who have personally heard the oracle. What instructions did His Majesty in the sky convey? Just do it, don't question it. "
"Peace." The two girls looked at each other and said the same word. Excitement filled their chests in an instant. They immediately knelt on one knee, clasped their fists and prayed. Countless praising prayers were hurriedly recited.
Regardless of the sincere prayers of the two subordinates, Mira Salian noticed the message conveyed by His Majesty in the sky. It meant that He was also unwilling to be enemies with the tower master.
In the maze world, the Saint was not invincible. The five-story magic tower guarded by the Warlock Saint was able to kill any God or Devil that stood in its way. In other words, the combination of mages and magic towers could threaten these eternal existences. Of course, it was impossible to kill a God, but it could make these high and mighty existences pay a considerable price.
However, based on Mira Salian's understanding of His Majesty, He should not be afraid of His Majesty, but His Majesty was interested in His Majesty's strength, so He had such an attitude.
"Look, someone is still alive."
Someone in the Revival Army shouted. Without waiting for instructions, everyone rushed to the side of the person who was suspected to be still alive. Only then did they confirm that the small town resident who was tied up was unharmed. He was just scared stiff, so he did not move at all. Instead, he looked blankly at the people around him.
Since there was the first person, there might be a second or third person. Everyone immediately scattered to look for survivors. On this battlefield, it was surprisingly easy to find a living person. Those who had a big hole in their chest were definitely dead. Those who were firmly tied up with ropes, kneeling or lying down, were still breathing.
Finally, when the survivors were gathered, they were all residents of the small town. Not a single one was missing.
At this time, even the dullest person would feel fear. It was not rare for mages to use forbidden spells, but it was hard to imagine that a forbidden spell could distinguish between friend and foe.
For a long time, the reason why strategic magic was listed as a forbidden spell was that it was easy to injure others by mistake. In the culture of mages, which was based on the premise of protecting the civilized world, this was the biggest reason why it could not be used at will. However, if this reason did not exist, anyone who showed hostility to the Tower of the Great Sage would be greeted by the master of the tower directly with strategic magic. It was believed that not many people would have the courage to continue to attack.
Lin, who had returned to the tower, looked at the mirrored energy pool screen in front of the control panel of the nuclear chamber. On the screen, there was the final number of attacks and the number of enemies killed by the light bomb magic array. Both of them stopped at the number of 6,831.
Originally, when he saw that the number was no longer jumping, he guessed that the enemy had been completely wiped out. The number 6,831 did not give him much feeling. It was just a cold number.
He did not know what was wrong with him, but he actually had the idea to go out and take a look. There was no need for him to walk out of the door from the first floor. He could directly look down from the observatory on the third floor. He should be able to see more things from a high vantage point. Lin did not think much about it and walked to the observatory that he usually only went to at night.
The two little apprentices had been by Lin's side since the beginning of the battle, and now they followed him out foolishly.
As soon as he stood at the edge of the fence, Lin regretted it. Did he regret walking out, or did he regret killing? He did not understand it himself.
No matter how many Hollywood blockbusters he had seen and how realistic they were, they were still works of art, no matter what the director wanted to express. However, war movies could not be compared to documentaries. There were no exaggerations or explosive scenes with sound and light effects. There were only scenes of reality that were so shocking.
He remembered that before his transmigration, many of the documentaries about World War I and World War II had been digitally reproduced. Those realistic scenes were not like the flag-raising scenes where a few soldiers gathered and emotionally discussed what to do after the war. There were also no tragic charges where countless sacrifices were made and the final victory was won. Lin felt his scalp go numb as he looked at those disjointed fragments of records.
However, documentaries were not as good as seeing with one's own eyes. Although he did not go down to the battlefield in person, the smell, the blood, and the scene of corpses as far as his eyes could see were definitely not something that could be understood by watching a few documentaries or real photos taken by a few war reporters.
Originally, he thought that the two primary school-age girls had been harmed by him to the point that they had become hard-hearted and would not hesitate to kill animals and goblins. But from the way they hid their faces and secretly sobbed, and their shoulders twitched slightly, Lin knew that they had not lost the kindness in their nature.
He originally thought that after transmigrating to the Maze World, in order to survive, a fat otaku who had only killed cockroaches and mosquitoes could dismember animals without any burden and kill barbarians without batting an eyelid. Even the blood of human bandits and thieves could be stained on his hands.
But after experiencing a real battlefield, he realized that he was still too naive. He still believed from the bottom of his heart that, although he did not say it, he was superior because he transmigrated from Earth.
In fact, he was an insignificant nobody. It was the same on Earth, in the Maze World, and even more so in the face of death.
