Chapitre 6: Praise the Great God—
Éditeur: Atlas Studios
"Don't worry. Your Uncle Victor isn't dead, okay~"
After she said that, she could not help but retract her body as if she were bound by something.
"Brutal guy, you don't really think that this will work on me, do you?"
Bernal instantly understood. The other party was an evil god that seemed to be in control but who really knew who was actually in control?
In the end, his current power was only obtained from the other party through the contract.
Their powers came from the same source.
Something in Bernal's mind snapped in an instant, and the pupil of the cross transformed into the shape of a crown under Rogeria's surprised gaze.
The next moment, Bernal's vision turned dark, and he fainted on Rogeria's shoulder.
Rogeria watched Bernal's profile quietly.
She no longer knew how to describe the excitement and joy in her heart.
"Praise the Great God—"
She began to dance in the forest while humming a nameless song.
The disorderly and chaotic syllables reverberated through the entire forest.
The black waves disappeared at this moment, and the surrounding trees and plants began to wither. At the same time, the branches began to twist slowly.
Ka ka ka!
In the sky, the bright and holy moon was gradually cast in a shadow.
The entire Monster Forest fell silent at that moment, except for Rogeria's song.
"Margrave, we have lost contact with Victor's team."
"I understand. Let's not wait for them. Retreat!"
Moss' expression did not change as he replied indifferently.
"But…"
One of the subordinates hesitated to speak.
"This is an order."
Margrave Moss did not allow for anyone to doubt or refute him, as his tone was unyielding.
Upon seeing this, their subordinates lowered their heads in sorrow. They returned to the formation and followed Moss on the way back.
"Oh Bernal, my Bernal~"
Eva had long prepared for this situation, but she could no longer hold back her tears.
"Boohoo ~"
Her red eyes were already beginning to swell. Moss looked at his wife but did not say anything. He only hugged her tighter.
He was indeed used to such mishaps, but it did not mean that he was not afraid.
Moss had high hopes for every child. It was the same for Bernal, who had average talent.
He loved his children, but he was not good at showing it.
Forgive me, child. This is the destiny of being born into the Nielsons.
With a deep breath, he pulled himself together quickly.
He led the team to turn around and retreat, but something unexpected happened.
The scarlet fog filled with the smell of blood spread out from the forest.
In the fog, one could faintly see some black particles floating.
Upon realizing that something was amiss, Moss immediately activated his combat aura to envelop the entire team.
Upon seeing Moss's action, the men immediately snapped to their senses. They pulled out their weapons and activated their combat aura.
[Legion Combat Technique: Sacred Shield]
Unlike a combination combat technique, a legion combat technique requires a human to control all the energy. The others were acting like 'power banks' that directed energy into this person.
The golden barrier enveloped Moss and company, blocking the strange fog outside.
However, this strange fog was only the beginning. Strange-looking monsters ran out of the forest one after another, initiating a charge outside.
These monsters did not have a specific target. They pounced on whoever they met and then bit on it relentlessly.
"They're all monsters I've never seen before. Be careful, everyone!"
When Moss saw these monsters, he immediately signaled for his men to be careful and not to be careless.
Immediately following that, with a wave of Moss' hand, all the troops formed a huge triangle.
They were about to charge.
"The situation is bad. Where did these monsters come from?"
As one of the corners of the triangle, Moss broke through according to the plan.
While breaking through the siege, he did not forget to leave a mark.
Even if the chances of survival were not high, he still hoped that his child could be safe in a certain place in the forest. Then, he might coincidentally see the mark they had made and follow it back to his side.
It was the best he could do.
The threat of deformed monsters, twisted trees, and demonic forests increased.
Moss was fortunate enough to witness the entire process of a tree mutation. It was a situation he had never seen before.
"What exactly is happening in the forest?"
Retracting his gaze, Moss controlled the combat aura of the entire army as he began heading for the city.
Behind him were a large number of crazy mutated monsters.
"Have they gone completely mad?"
Margrave Moss turned his head and said to his deputy, Aaron, "Go back to the city and inform the guards about the situation here. Tell them to prepare to defend the city."
"Yes, my lord!"
Aaron nodded and flicked the reins.
[Combat Skill: God Speed]
Massive battle energy poured into Aaron and the horse beneath him.
The next moment, Aaron's figure led Moss by a few body lengths. Following that, the gap widened more and more.
In the blink of an eye, Moss could only see a tiny figure disappearing in front.
Hope he'll make it in time!
Moss looked at the dark mass of monsters behind him with a heavy heart.
He wondered if he could hold the line this time.
Dang! Dang!
Ripples appeared on the golden sacred shield.
Several flying monsters were hitting their shields incessantly.
The Sacred Shield was on the verge of collapse as if it was going to break at any moment.
"Ha!"
Moss shouted as more combat aura flowed out of his body.
At the same time, the other knights were coordinated and instilled their battle aura.
The godspeed earlier had consumed a lot of energy, affecting the defense of the entire shield.
With more support, the shield stabilized.
"Everyone, hurry up!"
A few monsters who thought that they were about to break the shield were agitated. After realizing that they could no longer break the shield, the monsters jumped around in the air angrily and let out screeching noises.
"Ow ow ow—"
"Even in this state, they still retained some sanity?"
Ever since these monsters appeared, Moss had not stopped observing them.
"This is really bad."
