Lords: From Civilization to the Stars.

Chapter 135 The Salvation Army

"..."

Looking at the pale golden curtain outside the window, the former Knight King of Bretonnia, now the great lord who could only survive in Cologne, had a dazed look in his eyes, and just stared at the golden crack numbly.

Compared to the cracks that appeared on the bay a year ago, the power and appearance of the now mature Negative Stars have made the Knight King feel frightened. The pale golden elves have no expression on their faces, but they are full of mysterious fighting spirit.

These elves didn't seem to need to talk. They moved forward in silence, constantly showing their oppression in all directions, silently clearing out all the enemies. This seemed to be a good thing, but it wasn't just the Chaos army that was cleared out. There were also those innocent people in the Chaos, and the people in the castles and fortresses would be expelled and sent to the Golden Country and the North Pole.

These supernatural monsters have a creepy technology. They seem to be able to tamper with people's souls, destroying all the souls that people have known, and then replacing them with flesh and blood to create a similar but not identical individual.

It is difficult to describe the horror in words. It looked like some monsters were disguising themselves as humans and hunting for prey.

The Knight King tried very hard to fight against these monsters, and also tried very hard to get his people to fight against the fear in their hearts. But no matter what they did, the moment they saw those pale monsters, the crazy terror and despair would still emerge in their hearts uncontrollably.

At first, everyone could convince themselves that they were teammates, that these monsters were actually caused by people's fear and ignorance, and that we were all allies against chaos. But as the light of the sky became brighter and brighter, as the huge building began to rise from the ground, and countless spiral stairs and super-giant mountains began to take shape, no one began to believe that this thing belonged to humans or was on the side of humans.

It's not just in Antarctica, where buildings have covered the sky, and the Arctic is no exception.

The huge tower that covered the entire sky spread its branches under the planetary shield like a tree growing upside down. Countless Negative Stars and their allies used their power to shuttle through it, and then turned into small meteors in the sky, falling to the locations where they were needed for orbital strikes.

The golden curtain, the golden sky, and even the breath could feel the fiery spiritual energy surging in all directions, allowing everyone to feel the power and faith presented by the madman named Leon. He had long wanted to fight this monster to the death.

But what can they do now? They have never attacked humans or intelligent life, but have only loyally fought against Chaos.

Even his own people, though fearful, would cheer wildly for these monsters when they saw the destruction of Chaos. They watched them spread from the two poles to all directions, crossing mountains and valleys, heading further. Even the Knight King heard that the Negative Stars had joined forces with the players of Hope City and completely monopolized the North.

This kind of thing sounds like a fairy tale. You know, the chaos disaster in the north has lasted for countless tens of thousands of years, but now it has been suppressed by the Negative Stars. Even the crazy chaos frenzy has been curbed, what can they do?
Even the Knight King felt a little self-deprecating. He had fought Chaos Demons all his life, vowing to be irreconcilable with monsters. But in the end, he dreamed that he would join forces with demons to fight monsters.

This has to be said to be an irony of his life.

"You're not dreaming, damn mortal."

"...?"

As the Knight King looked on with some fear, a crow flew in from under the pale golden curtain.

This crow is much stranger than imagined. Its feathers do not seem to be jet black but rather a noble and beautiful blue color.

Different from the black and red eyes of ordinary crows, this crow's eyes looked like they were burning with light blue flames. The blue eyes stared at the Knight King, and then suddenly fell on the windowsill. Under the increasingly shocked gaze of the Knight King, he stretched out his beak to tidy up his hair.

"Do you realize our commitment, mortal?"

The crow straightened its feathers and tilted its head to look at the speechless Knight King. Fluent words flowed out of its mouth and irrigated into the Knight King's head.

"We will keep our promise. I know you can't trust us, but damn it, I don't trust you either. Ah~ Damn it, the great Lord of Change asked us to cooperate with each other, damn it. Originally, it was the Dark Prince who came to find you, but she got tired of it, so I came here."

The crow was talking to itself, taking steps, then it jumped onto the fruit plate and ate a few fruits, making some comfortable sounds.

The Knight King stared blankly at the azure crow in front of him, feeling that he might be hallucinating due to the pressure.

Yes, that must be the case. It must be hallucination due to the strong pressure of survival.

You know, life is full of pressure now, the demonic frenzy is still spreading around Bretonnia, and everything is still in a bad state. What kind of dream did he have to realize that he had to join forces with the demons to fight against the Negative Stars? He has been fighting demons all his life.

It must be because the Negative Star in the sky brought him tremendous pressure, making him feel that this raven must be the messenger of the Chaos Gods. Otherwise, there is no way to explain it -

"Ah, damn it, people like you will probably be enslaved by that monster sooner or later."

The huge raven cursed in dissatisfaction and flapped its wings to the ground.

Then, under the Knight King's horrified gaze, the gigantic crow began to twist and deform, its body rapidly expanding under the shadow and light, unfolding its supernatural body and psychic flames.

Under the eyes of the former leader of Bretonnia who had completely collapsed, the bird-like demon smiled at the mortal, then stretched out his finger and turned everything around into a ball of rainbow light. The supernatural and powerful magic completely blocked the surrounding environment, leaving only the dull voices between the two people.

it is true.

That impossible dream might actually exist.

The Knight King looked at the smiling demon in front of him with a look of despair, feeling that he had lived his life in vain.

Bretonnia, the country of knights. A country known for its kindness and justice. Although there may be some things in it, all the knights are willing to sacrifice their bodies to fight against chaos. But why is it like this now? Why did I inexplicably listen to the slander of such a Chaos Demon and put him in my bedroom? No, I am the Knight King, the leader of Bretonnia, and the model of knightly virtues. I must kill these monsters and prove that I am right...

"You don't need to hypnotize yourself. We are not allies. We just keep each other warm in the face of the crisis of survival. Ah, how abominable! If the Dark Prince's demon came here, he would definitely explain it to you. After all, you are old lovers..."

"what?!"

"Your relationship with Chaos is much closer than you think. You always think that you are out of Chaos, but in fact you have never done so."

The huge demon flapped its wings and looked at the King of Bretonnia, whose mind was almost broken, with a very human expression of contempt on his face. This demon from the God of Change did not like this move very much, but there was nothing he could do now.

They must unite and use each other's greatest strength to drive the monster out of the planet.

"You are protected by the gods and possess powerful abilities and fighting power. The knights of Bretonnia will cooperate with the imperial artillery to charge at those soulless monsters on the battlefield. Sooner or later, you will become legends, but only after you have completely killed the enemy of life. After that, we can happily fight each other, but before that, we have a common enemy."

No longer caring about the dejected look of the Knight King, the feathered God of Change Demon was scolding the decadent figure viciously, and dancing around to display all kinds of psychic flames and portraits.

These supernatural flames formed a strange mirror, showing the appearance of various leaders from all directions, as well as the indifferent appearance of the negative star people. The pale negative star people were moving forward every moment, even now, the sky fire outside the window was constantly falling in all directions.

"There is no time to waste. Our attack on you will come to a temporary halt. Since you have no intention of staying with that lunatic, we will not do anything to you. Intelligent creatures and Warp demons are the two sides of the same coin. Sooner or later, you will become like us, and we will eventually appear in the material universe. All this has been destined, but that monster cannot do that."

"We must unite. The demons will only become his endless rations. His appetite is growing, and he may even eat up the entire subspace. From our perspective, there is no way to detect signals in that area of ​​the subspace."

"Only by uniting, only by uniting and using all available forces and tools, can we truly resolve this crisis."

"This is an army that saves the world, it should suit your taste..."

The Great Demon who is working hard with all his strength is very useful. As the Great Demon of the God of Wisdom, countless plans are being born and destroyed in his mind almost every moment.

In the past, all the demons would happily carry out their plans. But now the demons have realized that being devoured by that monster means true destruction and death. There is no time for joking around anymore. The demons are very serious in their fight against the Negative Star.

They knew very well that these so-called kings and knights, as well as the leaders of various places, were not reliable at all. After all, compared with the Negative Stars, the hatred between them could be said to be a blood feud. However, the demons did not intend to ease this contradiction. After all, they were just using each other. If possible, these order races would not even have anything to do with the separation between them and the subspace afterwards.

"We can make a promise, a contract made in the Warp itself. We swear that we will isolate ourselves from the material world and never see each other again, as long as you can stop that monster, everything will be fine."

Countless parchment scrolls were flying in front of the crow-like demon, presenting one plan and auxiliary unit after another.

Even the Knight King himself didn't know that he had so many teams under his command. He just stared blankly at the Great Demon who took action on his own initiative and began to let the knights cooperate with each other. Some lines of defense were already abandoned on the parchment scroll, and more people were moving around.

The destruction caused by the demons was unimaginable, but when the demons realized that they really had no way to completely destroy the plan of the Negative Star Ones on their own, the conditions offered by the demons were also generous.

"Ten thousand years. We promise that the Warp will be stable for ten thousand years. Every intelligent creature will receive a Warp entity as their patron saint after reaching adulthood. We will swear in the name of the Chaos Gods and defend this oath with our own souls and existence. I beg you to sign the contract quickly. We really don't have much time."

"What contract? When? I am a knight of Bretonnia, we will not surrender--"

"You damned good-for-nothing! Even if you are the Knight King of Bretonnia, so what? Even if you are a beggar, I will kneel down and beg you to let us unite! This is how critical the situation has become!"

The Great Demon looked angrily at the Knight King in front of him and said the most cowardly words with the most angry expression.

But before the Knight King of Bretonnia could react to what the demon said, he suddenly saw countless golden lights emerging from the demon's body.

The moment he realized the appearance of the light, the chaotic demon subconsciously let out a scream.

“Ughhhhhhhh!!!”

"What's wrong?!"

Seeing the demon with cracked lines on its body, splashing black smoke and screaming, the Knight King subconsciously dodged. And that subconscious action just happened to lead him to the window.

The brilliant, golden beam of light burst out from the giant tower, like a sharp sword stabbing at the shield of the sky. The white-gold torrent washed the entire sky pale, and even the demons hiding in Bretonnia could only scream, half-kneeling in the room as if exhausted, panting and looking at the sky that was dimming again.

"The ninth impact... the ninth impact is over... time... time..."

The Savior Army must form a coalition of demons and humans, otherwise there won’t be enough time and manpower...

The demon breathed out a breath of light blue spiritual fire and muttered as he wrote on a form, as if he wanted to record this scene of unity thoroughly.
