Chapter 582 No Way, the Lionheart King Is Also Dead?
As for whether these tree people are human or not, and what they are...
The third prince no longer has time to think about it. The only thing he can do now is to run away as quickly as possible, the farther the better.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized what the darkness he saw at the end of the passage was.
It was clearly the roots of countless tree people deeply rooted in the ground. Their number was even so large that it was enough to raise the entire military camp by one level!
"Fuck!"
The third prince was really at a loss now, because since the potential enemy could do this, it means...
It means that the mastermind behind all this is not as simple as the eldest sister or the second brother!
Who is it!!!
As if responding to his cry in his heart, a strange buzzing sound suddenly came from the forest.
Looking around, it turned out that several monsters with organ structures similar to insects, but with overall proportions more like humans, flew out of it.
For ordinary people, the giant brown twin ponytails that are several meters long, flapping their wings and approaching them quickly, are actually scary enough.
But for the third prince, there is another thing that is even more scary.
That is the level 70 brown twin ponytails in the lead, which can not only speak, but also speak.
"Big brother..."
Uh, I made a mistake, it should be.
"(Strange mouthparts rubbing sound) Prince... Your Majesty..."
The third prince's face turned pale, and he almost fell from the sky because of the unstable magic output.
"Duke Chong... Duke Chongshan!?"
Under the light of day, no one knew what happened in Chang'an City that day.
But it may be fate. This dynasty holy capital established by the time traveler has since fulfilled the famous words of another famous poet in another world.
The country is broken and the mountains and rivers are still there, and the city is covered with grass and trees in spring.
Chang'an City, which used to be bustling with people coming and going and held an open fighting competition every few decades, has completely quieted down.
Instead, there was green and bright vegetation that completely covered the roads, buildings, city walls and palaces.
And the overlapping roots that kept climbing outward from the ground, as if to include the entire planet, completely covering it.
The only good news was probably that after swallowing up countless creatures on this land, this clump of green finally stopped when it covered the entire capital.
But after the news that the Deep Forest King's capital had turned into a large forest and the Deep Forest Royal Family and at least three dukes' more than 100,000 troops had all lost contact, came out.
Not to mention the Deep Forest nobles stationed in their respective fiefdoms, fully preparing for this year's Northern Peak Competition, the entire Yangyue Star was alarmed.
Some people were panicking, some were anxious, some thought it was a civil strife in the Deep Forest, and some thought it was the Deep Forest preparing for war.
But Ji Ming, who heard the news, dared to guarantee that this was the magic emperor from ten thousand years ago who finally couldn't help but take action.
And this time they learned from the experience of the last failed raid on the glow, and iteratively optimized a new set of tactics based on the unique environment of the Deep Forest.
Objectively analyzing, the last time the Magic Emperor sent out at least two true gods and three level nineties, why did he fail in the end?
Because they started with the curse, seemingly attacking from both sides, and took down the three cores of the Radiance at that time, from the royal power to the religious power.
In fact, the main harm was to the people, and they could not kill those powerful beings with higher levels and higher wisdom values who could resist this temptation.
In addition, Ji Ming happened to be in the capital, so he could easily kill this Slaanesh plague and rescue a group of level seventy who were in a difficult battle.
In the end, everyone joined forces, plus two level nineties, and it was a matter of course to make a comeback in the Church.
So this time they obviously learned to be smart. After all, it was their own home, so they started to blast directly from the top, concentrate their energy, and take down Chang'an City first!
Facts have proved that they succeeded. The incident happened so long ago, but everyone didn't even know what happened in the Deep Forest Capital.
Even Ji Ming contacted the Iron-fisted Saint who was currently in the west of the kingdom, and the answer he got was not much better.
Because after the greening of Gyeonggi, the spies she left in the capital also lost contact, and communication has not been restored until now.
However, one thing is certain, that is, since the green land did not continue to expand, but became quiet after occupying the entire Gyeonggi.
It means that no matter who is behind them, the mastermind behind the scenes must want to talk to everyone, at least there is no intention to overturn the table at present.
Sure enough, a whole day after the incident, the next morning, just like Queen Fia announced her latest royal decree before.
In the sound of hurried horse hooves, countless messenger cavalry wearing thick armor broke out of the dense trees in Gyeonggi and rushed to all directions of the kingdom.
I can only say that Ji Ming may really be a prophet. He said that the person behind the scenes was repeating the old tricks, and it turned out that he was really repeating the old tricks.
Guess what? This wave of glow actually became the advance uniform of the deep forest-yes, the Lionheart King Zhongdeng also died!
When this story got out, everyone was really numb. There are weird things every year, but this year there are more.
The sun died in March, the lion heart died in July, and I dare not think about what will die in November.
The Golden King: "Ah? Don't, really don't, I take good care of my health every day, really!"
But Anton, the old man, is already old, and he doesn't take care of his health on weekdays. He was also forced to commit suicide by his sick wife.
Meryl: "Unforgivable!"
This old bone will definitely not survive this winter. If he doesn't die in March, he will die in May. It's normal for him to die anytime this year. Everyone is mentally prepared.
But the Lionheart King was in his prime. If his life was a novel, it wouldn't even reach a million words. How could he just die like this?
The nobles must have found it strange. They stopped the messenger cavalry who came to report the news and took out a lot of gold coins to ask for information.
"Brother, as long as you are willing to tell me, these are all yours!"
"The king is dead...you only need to...know this..."
However, this group of knights who didn't even take off their helmets from beginning to end were completely unmoved.
They even didn't bother to look at the maid who bumped into them with the ball, and they didn't react at all. They were clean and honest. They were simply role models for our generation.
The helpless earl could only signal these prostitutes who were playing Cosplay to leave work early. After letting them all leave, he asked in a low voice.
"Then may I ask if you can tell me that the new king designated by His Majesty is probably..."
"...You will know...later..."
Even though the Earl repeatedly invited him to stay overnight, he failed. After saying this, the knight got on his horse and set off on the road back to the capital.
So the news report of this day was meaningless. Rumors were still everywhere in the deep forest, and even more heated because of the existence of this group of riddlers.
From the disaster in the capital to the cause of the king's death, to these fully armed knights, who were completely wrapped from man to horse, there was a lot of noise.
And in the evening of the same day, a new batch of rumors began to spread over the deep forest, that is, about the true identity of these knights.
They are not the prince's personal soldiers, not the duke's iron cavalry, and not the secret army of the Lionheart King or the Church of the Forest.
They are very likely not human at all!
Then there are the classic undead theory, the mechanical theory, the zombie theory, the holy and beautiful girl theory...
And the most bizarre one, saying that there are green branches under their armor, clearly a group of vegetative people.
Since it can be singled out, it means that the previous ones are classic urban legends, and the last one is really traceable.
Yes, the Iron-fisted Saint has always been in C, and her strong action and layout speed have been demonstrated again this time.
She used her own connections to find some bandits who valued money over their lives, and ambushed a messenger cavalry under the supervision of another group of professional killers.
It must be said that being sent out to deliver letters is really powerful. As a small "level 10", the knight not only slaughtered a bunch of bandits like a superman, but also killed several killers of the same level.
Unfortunately, under the Saint's determined net, even if he resisted with all his strength, he still died in the siege of many money lovers and his helmet was forcibly removed.
I saw a correct version in the 16-9 book and bar!
There is indeed a human face under the helmet, but it is a human face made of plant flowers!
This kind of thing is hard to describe with words. If I have to find a word, it would probably be... Junji Ito.
And even though they acted quickly, there were still a few slow idiots who were stopped by other knights who arrived inexplicably.
"Rebels... Suppress..."
Then it was their lair, their boss's lair, their boss's subordinates' lair, their boss's boss's lair...
If it weren't for the saint's wit, she would have been remotely controlled without showing her face throughout the whole process, and the contact was cut off quite skillfully and decisively.
That night, a group of knights came to her house to send warmth, and she disappeared from the world from then on. It is very likely that she was the one!
In short, it is better to say that it is fishing than slaughtering, and what they are fishing for is this group of self-satisfied and courageous thorns in the deep forest.
The messenger cavalry appeared like a black wind and disappeared like a black wind, strangling all those who dared to attack them.
And they cut the grass and rooted out the roots, with methods beyond the Jinyiwei, efficiency comparable to the KGB, and ability enough to make countless similar departments on the two planets ashamed.
This day ended in blood, terror, and suspicion until the morning of the third day.
Galloping on horses, another group of messenger cavalry in black clothes and black armor swept out of the forest of Jingji, and their destination was every noble territory in the deep forest.
This time the announcement was even more explosive, because they opened their mouths and said: "The third prince... announced his withdrawal from the throne election..."
"What?"
As a member of the Mithril faction, the third prince had already completed his supporters when he was still a bastard.
The Marquis of the Mountains, who was originally complacent and wanted to show off in front of the angel, almost popped his eyes out after hearing this.
With his understanding of His Royal Highness, he would never believe that such a thing could happen!
Damn, do you know how many innocent nobles the third prince quietly slaughtered for the throne? Can he bow his head and withdraw? Unless he dies!
"Traitor! Traitor! Evil thief!"
Roaring several times on his seat like a ferocious beast, the Marquis of the Mountains pointed at the knight's head and gnashed his teeth.
"You must be the second prince's man, come on, take him down!"
The guards around had long been annoyed by this group of powerful messenger cavalry, and immediately picked up their weapons and rushed forward.
Pause.
Some people may think that the noble surname "Qunshan" sounds familiar, and the answer is that your memory is correct, it has indeed appeared.
The last person with this surname was Andrew, the deputy leader of the Mountain Mercenaries, nicknamed Dean An, and an old friend of Ji Ming in Sunshine City.
It's a pity that the illegitimate son of this Marquis is probably covered with grass now.
Then, as his father, this Marquis of the Mountains...
It's a pity that the one who walked out of the capital today was a "level 20" messenger cavalry, and the combat effectiveness was a world apart from yesterday.
No one saw when he drew the sword, but they only knew that when the sharp sword stopped on the Marquis' neck, the blade was already covered with blood.
And the dozen or so guards who were still shouting and fighting and full of energy just now have fallen into a permanent calm, because their heads rolled to the ground in the next second.
Swallowing his saliva, the Marquis raised his hands decently.
"My Lord, it's just a joke, don't you mind?"
"..."
After all, he was a marquis of the kingdom, so the messenger cavalry did not kill him, but silently retracted his long sword and rode away from the mountain territory.
For the sake of interests, in addition to the mountains, there were naturally other unbelieving beings who attacked the knights on this day.
But unfortunately, except for a few smart nobles, all of them were killed and wiped out.
Just when the players were discussing whether the second prince had launched a coup, imitating the story of the general of Tiance, wanting to kill his father and brother and take the throne in advance.
On the fourth day, just like the previous few days, a group of messenger cavalry at level 30 rushed out of the capital.
But this time, they quickly came to the four directions of the deep forest with the important news that the second prince announced his withdrawal from the throne election.
"What!?"
Although it has been boiling for countless times, it is like a spicy pot in the winter, and the boiling deep forest has once again burst into a burst of heat.
Since the second and third sons have abdicated, then the choice of the new king is set in stone, isn't it?
"The eldest princess... won!?"
This answer, which was a bit too simple after the elimination process, made the entire deep forest seem to be divided into two distinct worlds.
The Magic Crystal Faction and the Mithril Faction were in a panic. No matter how loyal they were before, they all wanted to change their factions now in order to escape the new king's reckoning.
"Please, help me, brother, and give me another chance. I promise I will remember the princess and your kindness!"
The Fine Gold Faction was so excited that they wanted to load the MVP victory animation right now, waiting to follow the footsteps of Her Majesty the Queen and enter the Weiyang Palace.
"Why, you changed your mind now? I tell you, Her Majesty the Queen's eaves are full, and it's not your turn to be a dog!"
