The golden light in the sky illuminated the entire world.
Under the illumination of the Ancient God's Barrier, countless Entropy Ghosts descended from the sky.
They quickly filled the entire world.
At the same time, a black horse was galloping through the forest.
It was like a bolt of black lightning.
The black horse was extremely fast, so in just a few minutes, it had already left the forest and reached the plains.
As far as the eye could see, a towering mountain stood at the end of the plains, reaching the sky.
At the foot of the mountain, several giant ghosts were commanding the rest of the ghosts to gather, forming a battle formation.
Tidal city was right on top of the mountain, and the ghosts were slowly advancing towards it.
"There are too many ghosts, I can't get through, what do we do now?"
The black horse asked while running.
"Wait a moment" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He waved his hand, summoning the Earth sword back into his hand.
Gu Qing Shan raised the Earth sword and pointed it at the sky.
Lightning manifested on the sword.
The power of Lightning dispelled the golden light from above, forming a blinding blue light.
From afar, this ball of lightning was exceptionally dazzling, just like an obvious signal light.
"No response! Tidal city is not responding! "old man Jiao loudly shouted.
Did they not see it?
Gu Qing Shan muttered and abruptly circulated the power of Lightning.
Zi zi zi zi!
The lightning let out an ear-piercing noise as it turned into a pillar of blue and white light that shot straight to the sky.
At this point, even a blind person would be able to sense the overwhelming power of Lightning in the air.
Finally, there was some movement in Seatide City.
Gu Qing Shan saw a figure wearing emerald armor flying into the sky.
"It's her! It's Ilya! "Lola joyfully exclaimed.
"She finally sees us" Gu Qing Shan also sighed in relief.
The figure gave off layers of emerald light as she chanted an incantation that shook the world around them.
"I, Ilya the Frost of the Cold Night, due to the Bramble Bird King's bloodline magic, I summon you"
"Great Saint Bramble Tree, please heed my call, guide my people to this place!"
"Target — — -"
The emerald figure suddenly stopped and spat up some blood.
She staggered for a moment.
From the looks of it, she seemed to be seriously injured.
"Ilya!"
Lola screamed.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
But in the end, the emerald green figure pointed in the direction of the black horse and shouted with all her might,
"Hurry up and protect the last of our royal blood!"
After chanting the incantation, the green figure flew into Tidal city.
At the same time, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.
The shadow of a gigantic tree that connected heaven and earth slowly appeared.
Between the hazy shadows of the trees, seven or eight spots of light gathered together.
These light spots condensed into a meteor that pierced through space and time, flying toward the plain.
At a certain moment, the bright meteor emitted a loud sound, and its speed suddenly increased.
With that loud bang, the void around the meteor cracked layer by layer.
Even the barrier of the gods cracked open, allowing the meteor to fall straight into this world.
"The barrier of the gods didn't stop it … is it because it was summoned from within the world?" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
"Yes, this is the call of the Bramble Birds" Lola said worriedly.
The stronghold on top of the mountain was being surrounded by the ghosts, the situation was getting more and more dire, so it was hard to tell if Ilya would be able to hold on.
"What? This is the call of the Bramble Birds? "Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
"As you know, the Bramble Birds summon people from various worlds to take care of some miscellaneous matters for them, these are only external calls"
Lola continued to explain: "The true call of the Bramble Birds is actually a summoning spell"
"A spell?"
"Indeed, the call of the Bramble Birds is actually a spell awakened by the Bramble Bird royal bloodline after they reach adulthood"
"The spell awakened by each royal member is different, but they are all collectively known as the call of the Bramble Birds"
"Ilya was granted the right to use the summoning spell by my father, that's why she was able to use my father's guard summoning spell"
"Bramble Bird royal bloodline … which means, you can also use a similar bloodline spell?"
"No, I can't"
"Why not?"
"Because the Saint Tree is too tall, I can't perform the coming of age ceremony on top of it" Lola facepalmed: "Only during the coming of age ceremony would the Saint Tree awaken the Bramble Birds' bloodline spell"
Gu Qing Shan stroked her head without saying anything else.
He looked up at the sky.
The meteor was flying across the sky, stopping right in front of the black horse's path.
"Stop!" Gu Qing Shan pulled the reins.
The black horse also quickly stopped its charge.
— – boom!
Dust flew everywhere.
Ten fully-armored warriors and six women in emerald green robes with staffs in their hands appeared.
Gu Qing Shan understood.
Transcending time and space to directly summon their companions from the Mystic Zones, so this was the true call of the Bramble Birds.
This summoning spell was the previous Bramble Bird king's bloodline spell.
Ilya only needed permission to summon 16 warriors.
If the Bramble Bird king himself used the [Bramble Bird's Call], he would most likely be able to summon the entire kingdom's army.
Unfortunately, the king had already been assassinated.
And Lola didn't awaken a bloodline spell at all.
— — even if she did, it wouldn't be so coincidental that she would awaken the same bloodline spell as her father.
She might have awakened a different kind of spell.
"Only these people? Can we summon more? "he couldn't help but ask Lola.
"I can't, Ilya isn't a member of the royal family, this is the most I can do with the permission my father gave me" Lola answered as expected.
Gu Qing Shan looked at those people.
The 10 warriors consisted of both men and women, all of them wore the same silver armor and wielded top-notch weapons. As soon as they appeared, they quickly spread out.
They immediately entered a combat-ready state.
— — -the ghost army heading towards Tidal city had noticed the commotion here.
Six robed women walked in front of Lola and bowed in unison.
"Princess Lola, we've already communicated with the Saint Tree, it has agreed to specially prepare this super-distance warp for you" one of the women said.
The five of them nodded and began to chant an incantation.
Following their chant, a screen of light slowly manifested in the middle of them.
Through the screen, they could faintly see a large tree branch covered in bright green leaves.
From this screen alone, they could only see a single large tree branch, not even 1% of the tree's body could be seen.
Lola stared blankly at the tree and muttered: "Home …"
The robed woman urged her: "Your Highness, please return quickly, a battle is about to break out here"
Lola glanced at her hometown on the screen of light, then looked around.
The ghost army had sent out a torrent of steel, heading straight for her.
The horde of ghosts was like a tsunami, carrying a killing intent that could cut through everything, kicking up a large amount of dust on the plains.
They were quickly approaching.
Lola took one step towards the screen of light, then suddenly turned around: "Gu Qing Shan, come with me"
The six mages followed her gaze and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
"I can't leave" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Why not?"
"Because I have to fight"
Lola froze.
Saying it so casually, this guy …
Fight …
That's right, why not fight?
Lola slowly nodded and stopped: "Then, I won't leave either"
The robed woman hurriedly said: "Princess, this place is too dangerous, you can't take any risks, you are the last of the Bramble Bird royal family — — -"
"Bloodline"
Lola continued: "Indeed, I know this very well, so I can't leave"
The robed woman exclaimed in shock: "Why not?"
"Because someone killed my parents, and now, she wants to take over this Age of Old world, everything she's plotting is about to succeed"
"If I just go back with my tail between my legs and hide in the Mystic Zone, what kind of princess would I be? Since when did our Bramble Bird race have such a bloodline!? "
Lola clenched her fists tightly: "I also want to fight"
The robed women were terrified and knelt on the ground: "It's too dangerous, princess, the Bramble Bird race can't afford any more losses"
Lola nodded and calmly replied: "The royal family was slaughtered, General Ilya's fate is unknown, and the culprit is about to obtain everything she wants. At a time like this, any retreat from me would represent the Bramble Bird royal family's retreat"
Her voice was trembling, but she still insisted: "Mother once said, as a monarch, one should know when to retreat, and when to fight to the death"
"As the princess, I will not retreat even half a step in front of the enemy"
"I will make Triste pay with her own blood!"
The other women lowered their heads and didn't say anything else.
The robed woman hurriedly said: "But the Demon Lord army has already gathered here, the only thing we can do is to bring you back, we can't even save General Ilya"
Lola looked at Gu Qing Shan, only to see Gu Qing Shan smiling warmly at her.
"Gu Qing Shan …"
Lola's eyes appeared to be begging him.
"Alright, I'll tell you, something is happening outside" he said.
"What do you mean?"
"How do you know?"
Lola and the robed woman both asked at the same time.
"Because you told me that in a Bramble Bird world, as soon as other Bramble Birds act, they would be immediately noticed"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the approaching horde of demons from afar and quickly explained: "I think Ilya also felt that there was no need to hide anymore and needed to save you right away, that's why she released the call of the Bramble Birds"
"And now, Triste must have noticed Ilya's spell, with her strength, she should have already taken back this world and fully opened it"
"But even now, after so much time has passed, even the demons have run across half of the plains, nothing has happened in this world"
"Because of that, someone or something important must have happened in the outside world, causing Triste to not dare to act rashly"
"From this situation, I can feel that the outside world is changing — — changing in our favor"
He muses: "Fighting … is not necessarily a bad idea"
The 6 robed women and 10 soldiers all looked at him.
They looked at the vast army of ghosts, then at the Entropy Ghosts that filled the sky, then at Gu Qing Shan.
Are we really going to fight?
With just the few of us, we're going to fight against an army numbering in the millions?
Lola walked up to Gu Qing Shan and lightly held her hand.
She looked up at him.
"Gu Qing Shan, I am the Empress of the Bramble Bird race, the only remaining member of the royal bloodline, the future Queen Of Thorns, I beg of you, please take me with you into battle"
Gu Qing Shan looked down at her without saying anything.
Lola bit her lip, trying her best to make her voice sound less shaky.
"Gu Qing Shan, on the way here, you've always been like a mother to me, taking care of me, that's how I've come to understand you"
"I'm guessing that you're carrying a lot of things on your back, you're willing to disregard your own life and death, even at the moment of the world's destruction, you still want to fight against the enemy"
"Gu Qing Shan, I'm guessing that you're the same as me, having enemies that you don't care about at all costs, as well as pain and sorrow that you must face"
"Gu Qing Shan … can you take me with you to win against them?"
"As long as you take me with you to fight, even if I die in the end, I won't complain at all"
After saying so, Lola silently waited, but didn't hear any response.
Her heart slowly fell into an abyss.
Lola lowered her head in dejection, whimpering: "Take me with you, to fight together, can't you …"
Suddenly, the man in front of her moved.
Lola suddenly looked up.
Gu Qing Shan knelt down on one knee.
