Chapter 292 142. All-Star Cast
"Everyone's flow is unique, with different ways and means to achieve goals and pursue what they want? Like my father and the Dragon Tamer of Caledor?" Waita After Keus walked away, Malekith, who sat down again, stared at Darkus' back and muttered softly.
Malekith knew that the moment his father chose to pull out the Sword of Kane, the dragon tamer parted ways with his father. The friends who used to fight side by side and talked about everything became strangers. The dragon tamer once He talked with his father more than once about establishing a maelstrom in Ulthuan, but his father never agreed. In the end, the dragon tamer killed him first and then started the magical ritual of the maelstrom without his father's consent. In the end, At that moment, the two came together again, but they were also separated forever.
Darkus didn't think much about it. He walked to his resting place and fell asleep. He didn't even get up to eat dinner. The double psychological and physical pressure made him too tired. It wasn't until the next morning that he Only to be woken up by Drusala.
When Darkus walked to the square after washing and dressing up, he found that he was the last one to arrive. Malekith stood in the square carrying the Supreme Magic Shield and the Sun Flame Sword and said to him who was still doing the last words. The Druchis who were preparing kept saying something, as if they were assigning some tasks.
Darkus looked around the square, and he saw Mazdamudi sitting on the back of Zerag, the largest ancient triceratops to date. Teams of elite temple guards were quietly lining up in a tight formation. Standing there, his Umak guards have also lined up, and his Eye of the Storm and the giant beasts are also waiting there restlessly. The giant lizard Kami carries a strange square on his back. Box, an object similar to a sacred box.
It is convenient to communicate with wise men. Darkus did not see the figures of Adoshi Tehega and Lord Huahua. He asked the Slann lords to go yesterday. The Slann lords knew that there might be a large-scale battle today. happened, so he would definitely choose to bring an army there. He also knew that Spicazuma's strength would be extremely empty today. Except for the troops responsible for the defense and the Skinks who still had to work, the other armies either left two days ago. , or gather in the current square.
What surprised Darkus was that the second-generation Slanshakspati was not riding on Chengyu. Instead, his body was covered with a layer of golden soft armor and he stood there with his legs holding a hammer in his hand. That means Shakespati seems to be preparing to go down and engage in combat on foot to provide magic support.
What Darkus didn't know was that after he left the divination pool yesterday, the four Slann Lords studied for a while. The Slann Lords, who had sufficient experience in dealing with Chaos Demons, discovered that there was a loophole in his plan. If everything If everything is as he said, it is not a good plan for the Nurgle Demon who has been hiding in Queza since the end of the Great Invasion to be exiled back to the Chaos Demon Realm, because then the Nurgle Demon will be resurrected, and although the Chaos Demon will be exiled , but the memory cannot be erased. Once resurrected and reappeared in the mortal world, continuing to contact the Skaven would cause greater trouble to the Lustria continent and the world.
Therefore, after discussion, the four Slann lords decided that Shakespati would complete this possible sealing task.
"How do you say that? Every Slann Demon Priest is a unique existence." Darkus muttered in a low voice as he walked.
The Skinks who did not participate in this battle gathered around the square in the center of the pyramid or on the streets to watch the team that was about to set off.
When he saw Darkus walking to the square, everything inside and outside the square suddenly became quiet. This quietness seemed to be contagious. The waiting giant beasts and lizard people stopped being frantic and became quiet. The prepared Druchi also lined up. There were people looking at him expectantly. Malekith, who had been giving orders before, also stopped talking and turned around to look at him.
Darkus knew that this was his time to show off, but he did not say any heroic words before setting off. He first gave Malekith a slight salute, and Malekith threw a crystal necklace in his hand. After he took it and put it around his neck, he waved to Mazdamudi in the distance.
Then, Darkus took out the hanging horn and blew it fiercely. As his horn sounded, the lizard drummers and trumpeters in the square also blew each other's instruments to echo him.
Perhaps because the number of troops that needed to be teleported this time was a bit large, Path of the Ancient Saint did not teleport the team to Chakua in the next second, but took nearly thirty seconds to teleport there.
The Drukhi who were teleported were once again shocked when they saw the scene around them. There were many reasons for the shock. Even under the cloudy conditions, the surroundings were shining with golden light. The shining light made them unable to adapt for a while. , when they got used to it, they opened their eyes and saw the pyramid group that Ren mentioned was made of gold, and the other was a huge army of lizard people that could no longer be accommodated in the square.
Darkus saw the third generation Lord Slanthlot. He waved a friendly hand to Slott. The arrival of Slott showed that not only the great white lizard Gorok was coming, but also Itaza's army. . He also saw Adoshi Tehega, Hua Hua and Teto Ikao, and the troops of Taraxlan and Slanwupek also arrived, plus Tehenhoin and Red Crown Firstborn. An army of brothers.
At this moment, Darkus had the illusion that all the lizardmen forces that could be assembled in the entire Lustria continent had arrived.
"This is really a large-scale event." Malekith also looked around and said with a smile after looking around. Although he was smiling, he was still a little shocked in his heart. He had seen the military strength of that city in the past two days, and Dacus had told him that there was more than one city like this in Lustria. At this moment, he I have truly seen the horror of the Lustria continent. Even with the decline in Darkus' mouth, it still has such strong strength. What would happen if he led Druch's army to fight these lizardmen in the open area? Achieve victory? He thought again of the end that Darkus said.
Just as Malekith was thinking, a big white lizard came to a stop in front of him. He knew that this big lizard was the one who had made trouble in Nagaroth for more than a thousand years and escaped without a trace. Although they have never fought, he has seen it through the Eye of Destiny. Just when he thought the big white lizard was going to cause trouble for him, Franais and Baine who were staying in the druch came out and greeted the big white lizard in a friendly manner. The big white lizard grinned. After nodding in response, he left without looking back.
Malekith saw it, this was recognition. When he thought that he had been neighbors with these lizards for five thousand years, he didn't know whether to feel lucky or eager. He longs to have this army, but he also knows that this is simply impossible. Darkus has repeatedly expressed the bottom line. If he tries to do this, let alone how to deal with those big toads, Darkus will fall out with him immediately, just like the dragon tamer parted ways with his father after he picked up the Sword of Kane. That, fortunately, what he faced next with Darkus around was less difficult than what his father had faced.
Or just control Darkus? But doing this...? Malekith quickly gave up this idea, not to mention whether it could succeed or not. Dacus was his only friend. If he did this...
just like Dacus had always said, he would rule Ulthuan. It is their cause, and Malekith believes that he and Darkus will succeed with the Druchi of Nagaros! Soon he stopped thinking about these things and began to study everything in front of him.
Darkus still did not speak, because there were many reasons. Although he planned this event, he did not know the direction of the next event. Maybe entering the all-star lineup under Queza would solve all the problems, Slan The lords and their armies are just cheerleaders who come for a spin. Maybe the Slann lords and their armies will also fight the Nurgle demons coming out of the portal. Maybe Tzeentch's army will also come after hearing the news, and there will be a three-way fight. Who knows? This is an event outside the timeline, and he is not a prophet or prophet.
At this moment, Darkus discovered that the direction of history may have undergone subtle changes because of his existence, changes so subtle that Tzeentch was ecstatic. At least Malekith never got the Sunfire Sword until the Lizardmen evacuated this place. Shakspati has never returned like lightning in the world, let alone this big event.
Moreover, Darkos does not think that the next Druchi's reign in Ulthuan will begin in the year 2300 of the Imperial Calendar. He knows that Malekith, who already knows the truth, cannot wait for that moment, or in other words, he cannot insist on it. By the time, perhaps one hundred and fifty years later, when the Thai brothers were born, he and Malekith would have completed this great undertaking. And then the Thai brothers serve as his retinue? Teclis was given careful guidance since childhood and was sent to Lustria to be trained by the Slann magic priests? Aenarion dragon armor with Khaine's curse and Khaine's warp sword for Tyrion?
"This change is so big." Darkus felt goosebumps all over his body just thinking about it, and his soul was trembling just thinking about it.
As the lizardman all-star lineup moved closer to Darkus, he took out the slate map in his arms and began to make the final arrangements and negotiations in an orderly manner. It was nothing more than the guarding direction of the Slann lords outside. As long as Just be able to contain the surging magical wind at the critical moment. Don't let the Nurgle demon open the portal and become a true military frontman. The Nurgle military frontman you dealt with last time is not even considered. After all, the military frontier doesn't even have an army, just some skinners who are powerful enough to stretch their hips. As for the order of entry, there is no arrangement. I don’t even know where the door is now. The purpose of arranging such a luxurious lineup is to be able to adapt to changes when the time comes and reduce the number of players to ten.
After preparations were completed, the huge army set off again.
As the team deepened, the jungle turned into a vast open space. The ground was covered with huge stones. The smallest ones had collapsed into piles of rubble, but the strange thing was that the largest one looked like a squatting giant. The same loomed over Queza Square.
In the distance, beyond Queza, Darkus could see the massive Lagrimas Mountains jutting out of the jungle, rain and storms swirling smoke from the crater.
"Queza!" Tehenhoyin, who was walking at the front of Queza's team that was about to go deep, pointed at Queza in the distance and said.
"The lost city of Queza!" Darkus said with a sigh. He had been here once before when traveling across the Lustria continent. Of course, he circled the outermost circle and did not go deep into the city, but it still happened at that time. After a battle, he still remembered the white rat named Musk. One reason was that the rat's name was too abstract. He believed the rat even if he said he was Scully or the clan leader of the Tesla clan. Another feature is that the rat's body is white.
After walking for a while, Darkus saw the ancient war giant lizard Nakai with a white body and an upright height of five or six meters waiting there. Nakai, the powerful spirit of Lustria and the flesh and blood of the jungle, was waiting there. As a wanderer, he did not lead an army, but was a polished commander. This was the first time he saw Nakai, but he did not say anything, just waved.
Nakai looked at Darkus in the team for a while, saluted Shakspati when he saw him on foot, and then curiously looked at Kami, who was also an ancient war dragon, and waited for the team to approach. Then he directly joined the team and walked beside Kami. It seemed that the two war giant lizards were communicating with each other.
In the year 2489 of the Imperial Calendar, Teto Ikau predicted through astrology that the despicable Skaven would return again, so he tried to awaken Adohi-Tehega and seek advice from him. But at that time, Adohi-Tehega had been sleeping for centuries and there was no way to wake him up. Therefore, he led the lizardman army from Talaklan to join forces with Tehenhoin's troops to meet the Skaven army.
The two sides launched an anxious confrontation on the streets of Queza, but the Skaven army poured out from deep underground, far outnumbering the lizardmen, forcing the lizardmen to adopt retreat tactics.
Although the Lizardmen seemed to have lost their momentum and were at a disadvantage, Teto Ikao, as an astrological prophet, and Tehenhoin, who was also proficient in jungle guerrilla warfare, had been firmly in control of the battle situation.
Teto Ikao repeatedly guided an unprecedented amount of magic wind reserves through the special spiritual node of Queza, dragging a comet that happened to pass by from the outer sky and smashing it into the blasphemous city. city.
A huge force hit Queza, and the comet hit directly in the streets of Queza, razing the temple city to the ground like a nuclear bomb, and the Skaven army also suffered from this sudden disaster. decomposes into burning dust.
Queza is still Queza, but Queza has disappeared from the map, replaced by a huge crater, and this barren land, even the bloated jungles around it, has no intention of touching the borders of the city. No single building in Queza City was left intact by the impact of the comet, leaving only the twisted metal and molten rock that made up the remaining skeletons of these buildings. Most of Queza's underground network of tunnels has collapsed, with only a few broken tunnels and fragile chambers remaining, and even these are littered with debris and fallen rock.
However, it is now 2019 in the imperial calendar, which is still too early and is still at the low ebb of the Snake and Rat War. Only occasionally will the Skaven come here through various means.
Now, the temple city of Queza still stands here, but it is unusually quiet, with only the sound of being washed away by the heavy rain. The team did not choose to hide in the shadows and cautiously walk through the dilapidated streets, but walked swaggeringly. On the main wide road leading to the Pyramid of Sotigo, the Serpent God.
This team is led by Darkus, Umak of the ancient saint Iqi, the second-generation Slanshakspati, Ku Jia, Tiga and Gorok, three ancient blood warriors of the lizard people, and Na Kai and Kami, two ancient war giant lizards, Tehenhuoyin, the priest of the snake god Sotigo, Chakas, the captain of the temple guard, and Inshi Huzi, the leader of the skink, formed a luxurious lineup of lizardmen.
Malekith, the Witch King of Nagaros, led the same luxurious lineup of Druchi as long-range and backup support. In addition, three temple guard brigades and five skink priests who were responsible for contact came in.
Reptiles and stunted trees sandwiched between huge boulders, and vines clinging to the neglected pyramid walls, made up the abstract landscape that Darkus saw. The pyramid is full of signs of decay and abandonment, like a dead city destroyed by the plague. However, it didn't smell like an abandoned city. A strong and pungent smell filled the air, making it difficult for him to breathe even under the heavy rain.
The Pyramid of Sotek, the snake god, stands like a shining mountain amid the surrounding ruins. The steps of the pyramid are arranged like a giant snake snaking down from the flat roof, and the stairs are inlaid with gleaming gold.
This pyramid was built by Tehenhoin after the Lizardmen drove the Plague clan out of Lustria. Although the tunnels dug by the Skaven below Queza were filled with Sotek's snakes, the famous Chuanquillo still came here by sea, and it was here that Tehenhoin fought with Chuanquir Luo fought.
Soon after, the pyramid was abandoned because Tehenhoin discovered that his companions were dying strangely one after another. Only he and a few red-crowned skinks could survive, but because there was no new force to supplement them, , he had to give up here and turn his attention to Chakua in the north.
Tehenhoin, who was walking along the way, listened to Darkus's constant explanations and the purpose of his visit. He was smart and finally understood why. There must be something underneath Queza that Sotigo couldn't remind him and never had. Find something.
I'm not in a good state today.
I have to check the information and then think about how to write this
