Silent Crown Chapter 557: Use residual heat

In the sharp bell, the sound of steel rubbing sounded from all over the fortress.

The pillar of flame was burning vigorously, shining light down from the top of the fortress, illuminating the dull ocean, and the dark tide that came along the ocean current.

"Are they all demons?"

"Yes, the third wave is expected to be one hour ahead of schedule. Compared with the previous two times, the scale is much smaller."

Stone sighed softly: "After all, it is to celebrate the birth of Leviathan, the son of the sea, born by the Dark Mother. If the total amount is exhausted, I am afraid that it will far exceed the original expectation of mankind..."

Ye Qingxuan frowned on the high wall of the fortress.

The monsters in the sea follow the ocean currents, and now every ocean current has become a troop transportation line for the monsters, continuously encumbering countless monsters forward.

Finally... gathered in Avalon.

Damn the "Avalon Phenomenon"!

In human observation, almost all ocean currents will converge around Avalon, bringing a large number of fish tides every year, forming a natural shipping route.

For a long time, unique conditions have brought immeasurable benefits to Angelu.

This is the "Avalon Phenomenon" that marine and water conservancy scholars all over the world contemplate. As a result, no one has ever thought that the unique geographical advantage is not the favor of fate, but the harbinger of bad luck.

This is the King of Destiny that Leviathan planted many years ago, in order to completely engulf Angru in a huge trap created.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan rubbed his forehead with a headache: "How many people are there in the Faith Department now?"

"A little more than three hundred."

Shi Dong's answer made Ye Qingxuan a little bit wrong.

"Isn't the establishment of the Witch's Hammer still there?"

"It was originally there, but after the Department of Faith was split, it has been broken up and assigned to the Knights Templar, only one name is left.

Mr. Maxwell later sent four hundred young people here, but unfortunately, the time was too short to be useful.

When we left the holy city, only three hundred people were taken away. Among the more than one hundred people, half were old people like us, and half were too young.

Only one hundred and forty people can fight. "

"Too little."

"Enough."

Stone said: "Now there is at least one fortress to defend against the wild animal gods

.

The purifiers of the Inquisition were born with a mission to fight against monsters a hundred times greater than their own. If we go to war again, we may face even more troublesome situations.

I believe you will quickly get used to this disparate ratio between ourselves and foe, Your Excellency Grand Inquisitor. "

Ye Qingxuan glanced at him, retracted his gaze, and continued to focus his energy on the dark tide surging in the sea: "Is the number of enemies counted?"

"This scale is about 20,000 yuan."

Shi Dong took a look and gave the answer: "Most of the evildoers in the sea are two meters in length. When walking upright, there are monsters half the height of an adult. Because their limbs are similar, they are called water ghosts or murlocs. .

There are more detailed classifications, such as elite bone insectivores, tide callers, deep divers, whale shark riders, and storm rituals whose wisdom is comparable to humans, etc... It is a small tribe that has just been hatched and formed.

The strength of ocean species is often polarized, and some species are like nomadic mountains, but one species is terrifying. More is this kind of monster that needs to rely on quantity to be able to pose a threat. For natural disasters, this kind of thing is a consumable that has no value, and the scale of one hundred thousand or one million can be used. When necessary, it can also be used for food, after all, the appetite of giant sea monsters is difficult to satisfy. "

Ye Qingxuan listened in silence, but couldn't help taking a breath of air in his heart.

In this world, two-thirds of all the areas that humans have discovered are oceans. One-third of the land has enough arable land for less than one-tenth, and it has nourished nearly 300 million humans.

This is just a rough statistics of the Holy City, plus tax evaders with hidden household registrations, slaves treated as private property, and the number of underreporting and underreporting in various countries. According to scholars’ estimates, the world has a population of about 400 million. .

This is the limit that human land can support at present.

What about the ocean...

The murloc is not as picky as humans. Seaweed, kelp, fish and shrimp and even the carcasses can be eaten. Once the dark mother sprinkles the seeds, it can bear fruit from the deep sea all over the mountains and plains.

In the holy city barrier, Ye Qingxuan has seen the kind of vesicle forest that breeds demons, and the terrifying transformation efficiency and scale are simply suffocating.

As long as there is a supply of ether in the earth veins, the living thing can be decomposed and reconstructed in just a few hours, and the embryo of the demon can be formed.

Because of this, every awakening of Leviathan is a terrible event that threatens the security of all nations.

It often takes Angru ten years in advance to prepare for the war, and only when the Holy City has stationed saints, can he be sure to seal Leviathan again before the evil son in the sea is hatched.

Ye Qingxuan can only rejoice now that only the sea area of ​​Anglo is affected, and the threat is limited to this lightless sea.

This time the disaster must be resolved as soon as possible.

Humanity cannot bear the war of attrition with the villain in the sea.

Once the murloc's deformed system really takes shape, humans will have to face more than a hundred times the number of demons. Not to mention the giant sea monsters raised with murlocs as food, and Leviathan itself.

Now, Ye Qingxuan wants to see how the more than 100 people in the Faith Department have repelled 20,000 monsters.

"It's just a bunch of little things, nothing but unscrupulous profiteers.

. "

Shi Dong laughed twice: "Even the inheritance of memory is not awakened, and there is no ability. Only by relying on quantity, there is no more than a lot of beasts.

To be honest, I'm afraid it's nothing to watch. "

As the two were talking, the neighing gradually progressed.

In the boiling and rolling turbid waves, the first water ghost climbed up to the coast, stepping on rough gravel and gravel, and crawling towards the fortress.

Followed by the second, third, fourth... and even at the end, only a thick dark green shadow could be distinguished, like moss in the sea spreading and growing on the ground.

"Isn't the development complete yet? It's a pity."

Shi Dong squinted his eyes: "Not long after he was born, the calcium is insufficient, and the exposed bone hasn't hardened yet."

Ye Qingxuan followed his gaze, his gaze fell on the murloc in the front, and when he saw the monster in human form, he only felt that it looked like some kind of enlarged deformed baby, naked outside. The bones still have a faint white color, covered with scales, and the skull also bears the characteristics of a large number of fish.

Perceiving the sight from the city wall, the fishmen raised their heads and screamed.

The sound of a sharp knife scraping an iron plate one after another sounded, making people feel uncomfortable. Even different languages ​​are enough to understand the meaning of the neighing sound.

——Hunger.

From the time of birth, it continues to this moment, still unsatisfied hunger.

Born with the exuberant coveting and never-satisfying greed of human flesh and blood.

Just smelling the human scent, the glands in the body secrete a lot of rapids, causing muscles to swell and bones to proliferate, and the feeling of hunger is like a fire that occupies all consciousness.

In an instant, the water ghost's body swelled in a big circle, and the huge eyes on both sides of the skull were already covered with bloodshot eyes. Among the large whites of the eyes, the strange fish-specific eye pupils shrank and trembled, already falling into madness .

"The murloc’s sense of smell is very sensitive, and the upper body skin under the scales actually grows a large number of olfactory cells. Like all types of demons known for their numbers, once they smell the taste of humans, they will enter a certain stress. In response, abnormal secretion of glands, hunger sensation multiplied, not being full, and too much food often causes death.

It is also worth noting that it is not known whether it is an evolutionary change or something deliberately. They rarely produce pleasant and satisfying feelings. Only when the digestive organs ingest human hemoglobin, the pituitary gland can synthesize similar The hormone of dopamine..."

Stone paused when he said that.

Ye Qingxuan understood what he meant.

In other words, they only feel happy when they can eat people...No, even like taking a forbidden drug, they enter a certain state of madness.

They will instinctively desire the human body, and even if they have tasted blood once, the second time they see a human, they will be ten times crazy!

"For predators made by humans?"

Ye Qingxuan whispered softly, and couldn't help but want to sprinkle two barrels of black dog blood on the grave of the Hundred Eyes.

Look at the good deeds you have done that will move the clouds

!

At this moment, he heard the sound of hinges rubbing, and the door of the fortress below his feet burst open.

Singing hoarsely.

"The Judgment Day is coming!

That day is coming!

I don't know when that day will come! "

In the deep singing, several burly priests walked out from behind the door.

Wearing chain hoods and heavy iron armor, they looked like a mixture of heavy-armored infantry and priests, but they did not hold the scriptures or swords in their hands.

Instead, he held a large flame of more than two meters high.

The heavy and huge banner burned, glowing with terrifying temperature and light.

The holy emblem above the banner is bathed in flames~IndoMTL.com~ like dancing in the sound of singing.

Behind the priests holding the large flame banners, the sound of fine and fragmented footsteps sounded, hundreds of thousands, and loud and hoarse voices followed.

It's like singing, and it's like a wild roar from instinct.

"The Day of Judgment is coming! The saints and sinners must be separated from the left and right! Are you ready for this day? Are you ready for this day?!"

It's like a group of lunatics and drunks responding frantically, the singing is chaotic and sharp.

Ye Qingxuan couldn't help frowning after hearing this.

"Out of town now to fight?"

"Because there is no equipment to defend the city." Shi Dong said, "If it is pushed on the wall, it will become troublesome. It is better to solve it outside the fortress."

In the hoarse singing, the priest holding the large flame of fire moved forward, and Ye Qingxuan finally saw the figure in the chaotic queue following the priest.

Then couldn't help but take a breath.

Under the shining of the flame banner, the things that staggered, staggered, followed, and sang fanatically with the priest... all were demons!

Those monsters with huge cracks and scars on their bodies are now like dogs, following behind the priest, the twine stitching the wound on the back of the head reveals rough stitches in the fire.

They sang the hymn noisily and intermittently, and followed the flame banner enthusiastically...

"Do you raise demons?"

Ye Qingxuan turned his head to look at Shi Dong, eyes surprised.

"Ashamed to say."

Shi Dong smiled awkwardly, "There are so many monsters, and they can't be killed. The rest can't be slaughtered for rations, so they can only let them use some residual heat...

Boom!

Before the words fell, a terrifying flame shot up from the water ghost.

The flames jumped and reflected on Shi Dong's face, making the smile weird and hideous. (To be continued.)
