The Holy War(21)
The creationalism poem of the Kirrlutz people, “Poetry of the G.o.d” claimed that the four elven kings and their subordinate elements were the guardians of this world. However, this agreement was only between them and Marsha. These elements were violent and ferocious and human beings rarely got along with them peacefully, just as the situation now.
After the lightning cage failed to work, Adega the Rager directly moved to the third stage. Brendel immediately became alert and lost interest in observing the fight, instantly turning around toshout, “Your Royal Highness Princess, please immediately order all divisions to return to the south of Anker Mountain.”
Before anyone could process the words, there was a m.u.f.fled noise coming from underground. It was like the sound of a building collapsing. They looked up and saw countless furious Elemental Storms bursting out from beneath the ruins of the holy cathedral where the slit where Adega was at. At the same time, the purple black thunderclouds surged in the sky and began to crash down lightning storms.
The scene was like “The Final Judgement” described in the Black Prophecy that went:”Between heaven and earth is the scene of the end of the world, electricity and fire descends from the clouds, the Twilight Knights ride across the fire rain, finally burning everything.” Everyone turned pale. The private soldiers of Count Audine were frightened to the point where their limbs went weak. Her Royal Highness the Princess also paled but she remained calm. She immediately placed an order, “Count Audine! The sergeant of Royal Cavalry Academy requested to retreat immediately to the direction of Anker mountain. Mr. Brendel, please lead our Naga team to retreat.”
Brendel looked back at the scene of disaster. He was probably the only one among them who did not feel afraid, instead feeling familiar with the scene. His blood boiled with a player’s eagerness to explore and take risks. He turned again and added, “And remember not to leave beyond the area of this valley!”
Princess Gryphine looked at him and nodded.
In fact, there was no need for an order as the Dragon Cavalry of Southern Legion had already started to retreat. The last to leave was Grey Fins after everyone had entered the forest. Bridget the Sea Demon glanced at him with beautiful bright yellow eyes as she pa.s.sed Brendel and said in a rustling voice, “You may not be a good commander but you are a good prophet.”
Brendel’s heart was pounded and looked at her with uncertainty.
“You don’t have to be surprised. The water tells me everything.” Bridget the Sea Demon, saluted him, then slid into the forest with her ritual long blade, her long tail like a snake.
“What did she say to you?” Sani came up and asked curiously. Bridget the Sea Demon, was considered high leveled among the Grey Fins Nagas. It had never seen her tempted by a male creature regardless of if it was a Naga or a human.
“She said I am like a prophet. Do you think I look like that?” Brendel looked back and smiled.
Sani thought for a moment and replied earnestly, “I think you are a bit similar.”
He was very similar. To the point that Princess Gryphine waited until everyone went up the mountain and then waited for Brendel to finally come up. She looked at the man with her silver eyes and asked, “Mr. Brendel, have you known for a long time that that monster was sealed below the Ruins of Mar Highland Cathedral?”
She asked what everyone wanted to know. If that was not true, it would not explain why he insisted on fighting against the Northern Coalition Army here. Moreover, he was also the one who commanded the production of the Disintegrated Crystals. The fact that he had ordered a group of Lizardmen to s.h.i.+p large amounts of crystals underground could not be hidden from others.
Additionally, the underground tunnel was also found by Brendel.
Too many coincidences meant that they were not coincidences.
Brendel knew that he could no longer hide it, so he nodded. “Yes.” A black wolf the size of a pony pa.s.sed by him and intimately rubbed his shoulder with its head and Brendel touched its furry forehead. A group of wolves were pa.s.sing by the two people. Her Royal Highness thePrincess had only heard of such miraculous scenery in legends. Now that she was experiencing it firsthand, she could not help holding her breath.
“Arreck Plateau used to be the holy land of the Silver Elves and hides many secrets there. This cathedral is one of them and the other is just by Frao where the ruins are much larger. The ancient war buried a lot of history underground but these histories are still recorded in the Book of Witchcraft.” Brendel replied.
