The Death Knell

"This situation has been going on for several months."

"Whenever night falls, hordes of skeletons and monsters will rise from the ground and rush towards us under the red moonlight."

"All the inhabitants of Maia moved behind the walls of the capital, hoping that the ramparts and moats would hold them back."

"Every day, I lead people to fight here, blasting the monsters into pieces, hoping to reduce their number, but when the moonlight comes, they will only come back. Night after night, we fight to survive... "

Maia ushered in the dawn, and under the majestic rising sun, the seemingly endless army of monsters temporarily retreated.

Seeing the dense gray-white waves creeping toward the horizon and disappearing into the boundless wilderness, the Blue Devil standing at the city gate tower put down the trident in his hand and put his weight on the arrow stack beside him.

Last night, the city gate was just a hair away from being lost. Many dragons and harpies appeared in the monster army, which added a lot of pressure to the already weak air defense system.

The residents of Maia are basically warlocks. They have powerful blood magic, and many of them can use spell-like abilities to clear out skeletons in patches.

But for fast targets flying in the sky, they are sometimes not as effective as archers, not to mention that dragons with extremely high magic resistance also fly through the sky from time to time, spitting flames on the towers.

If Cyborg and others hadn't arrived immediately, brought a group of powerful reinforcements, and used technological weapons and energy radiation to repel the dragon army, the consequences would have been disastrous.

This is what a medieval city is like. Once the city gate is broken, the people inside may not escape death.

Before dawn, Diana also returned with Bobo. The Blue Devil was complaining to the Queen of the Amazons that this king was too difficult to play. He had to defend the city and engage in high-intensity battles every night, and his spirit was about to collapse. .

Diana also looked under the city wall at this time. After the monsters retreated, the city gate opened and many people went out to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner.

For example, they seemed to be very skilled in such actions as burning the bones piled in the moat, bringing back friends who died in battle, or collecting some reusable ordnance.

"This kind of battle reminds me of the war between gods. The cold weapon battle in the magical dimension is really cruel." Her expression was very serious. At this time, everyone was not in a good situation: "But you have to release Bobo first. You You can’t keep him in jail.”

Blue Devil sighed and lowered his voice: "It's not that I want to imprison him, it's the choice of public opinion. Everyone here knows that he is the regent of Maia, but except for him who sent me away two months ago, Come here, let me role play. After the new king threw me a fake night blade, he himself never appeared again... Now the public resentment is boiling, and the people call him a traitor and a coward. I don't By agreeing to hang him, you have done your best."

Yes, the orangutan did leave everything to the Blue Devil and huddled in the bar drinking heavily every day.

He knew that Maia's situation was very bad, but he could do nothing except drinking to drown his sorrows.

"I know you also have resentment in your heart. After all, you had nothing to do with this matter. It was Bobo who tricked you." Diana patted Blue Devil on the shoulder. The blue-skinned actor looked much stronger in the past two months: " But you have to understand that although Maia is important, not all of its residents are good people. There are also flower demons among them, and daffodils that confuse others into drowning. We, the Justice League, will not be manipulated by public opinion to deal with our own people."

"Putting him in jail is actually to protect him. Otherwise, if he were allowed to walk drunkenly through the streets of the city, someone might kill him."

The Blue Devil expressed his thoughts. In fact, he was not very angry about Bobo tricking him.

As a pure superhero, Blue Devil's wish is to help others. After playing the role of king here, he truly realized his own importance and learned how much he could do for the people. He liked this feeling.

But he is also a member of the Shadow Pact Team. Bobo inherited the bar, Maia and the Shadow Pact Team from Jim. How could the Blue Devil deal with his own people?

But now that Popo comes back and shows his face, public dissatisfaction boils. Some people even organize an army to strike, saying that they will not fight the monsters unless they kill Popo, and let Circe's army come into the city and kill everyone together. They will die together with the orangutans.

The Blue Devil went through all kinds of tricks before reaching a compromise with the mage representatives. He first put Bobo in prison for protection and promised to wait until the problem was over before asking for the monkey's head.

Only then did he manage to regain some morale and defend the city wall to fight the monsters. It’s also very difficult for him. I don’t know what to do next.

Diana sighed too, her shoulders slumping. It was humid here at dawn, and she pulled up her hood to keep the dew from soaking her hair.

"I just don't want a civil war to happen. Bobo is being cared for by Deathstroke like a pet, and he's even given a new code name: Little Foo... Deathstroke is coming soon. If he knows what it is, If people are targeting Bobo, he will kill all those people..."

Blue Devil suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He recalled the experience of operating with Deathstroke a few months ago. Surrounded by thousands of Trench clans, that man still killed everyone. That calm and bloodthirsty look made him unforgettable to this day. .

It's not scary to be able to fight with light. What's scary is that he has superior combat power and culture. That Deathstroke always has a plan, and the mercenaries are definitely ruthless.

"Huh? Kill everything?"

A voice suddenly sounded from behind the two people watching the sunrise. Diana was startled. She was very familiar with this voice.

Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw a ring of fire floating in the air, and Deathstroke arrived with Barry, Monaco, and the Queen of Pain, McGeeken.

Diana smiled awkwardly, scratched her long hair and pretended it was nothing. "It's nothing. I was just talking to the Blue Devil. I said that when you come here, you can kill all the monsters outside."

"Is that so..." Su Ming walked between the two of them and took a look under the city wall: "Are they all monsters like skeletons and giants? This is quite easy. Hi, Daniel, the new hair style is good. "

The previous Blue Devil had a bald head. After all, he was essentially a person wearing a Blue Devil holster.

But now this leather suit actually has long hair and is even tied into braids. He himself has also changed from a thin figure like Barry two months ago to a build comparable to Superman. The fitness effect is obvious.

"Uh, yes, haha, I have to deal with post-war affairs. Let's talk later."

The blue devil smiled very reluctantly, and left after just being polite, looking very guilty.

Anyone with normal intelligence could see what was going on with such a move. Su Ming took off his mask and looked at Diana's little face, his eyes became sharp.

"Tell me, what's going on?"
