The Death Knell

After bidding farewell to the robot Stutterwei that was stuck in a snow-clearing cycle, and rejecting its friendly suggestion to take a sled ride, Su Ming still believed in his own speed.

A few minutes later, the two came to another obvious dividing line, or the edge of a moat.

In the distance on the other side of the river, there is a black building dotted with huge spikes. Although it is dilapidated, it can still be regarded as magnificent and unique.

You are right, Chaos Fortress is not the classical castle that many people imagine, with stone structures and suspension bridges, spire towers and city walls with arrow butts.

It is a modern building. If you remove those spikes of unknown meaning, it is actually a replica of the United Nations headquarters building in the real world. It consists of a relatively low circular venue and tall skyscrapers next to it.

Of course, there was no such thing as the United Nations before the end of the world. This was once the office building of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

A long time ago, before Arthur knew Merlin, he was a knight, wearing heavy armor, using a heavy sword that was difficult to use, and preparing to create a new era with like-minded knights.

Originally, everything went in a more realistic direction, like a very ordinary chivalric political novel.

But don't forget that Merlin is a man of fun. After he became the national master, in addition to spreading magic education on a large scale, he also taught various science and technology to the backward humans at that time.

Therefore, the medieval style at that time did not last for a few years. King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table all wore suits and ties, and the weapons they used were replaced by AK47s. The castle was rebuilt into a skyscraper, and the Sword in the Stone was lost long ago... ....

Anyway, Su Ming guessed that King Arthur should have asked Merlin why he gave up cold weapons. Then Merlin's answer was probably -

'Sir, times have changed. ’

In short, this is the situation now. After the catastrophe, the Blood King inherited his father's family business, which was this castle that was not a castle, and used it as a base to spread madness to different worlds.

Currently, Su Ming and Mysterio were still more than ten kilometers away from the building, but they had already stopped because in addition to the vast rose fields surrounding the fortress, there were also countless monster armies.

Many red-skinned monsters were crawling or squirming in the sea of ​​flowers, as if they were dizzy by the fragrance of flowers. They kept screaming and moaning, as if they were trapped in a crazy dream that they would not wake up from.

"demon?"

Seeing some of the monsters, Mysterio immediately felt familiar. Not only the color of their skin, but also the soaring smell of blood made her frown.

Not to mention that the sky was completely blood red, even the clouds themselves were red, and the falling rain was like blood, flowing along her clothes to the ground.

The fishy and rotten smell rushed straight into the nose.

"Here, many dark fantasies will be realized. The composition of the Blood King's army is very complex. There are demons, undead creatures, robots, modified people, psychic monsters, as well as spellcasters, bugs, aliens, and ghosts. Goblins, etc., many of these are Merlin’s creations.”

Deathstroke lit a cigarette and looked at the chaotic army in the distance across the bloody moat:

"There are only varieties you can't think of, and there are no varieties that are not available here. But in fact, Merlin's mentality is also very simple. If he sees something that others have and he wants it, then he can bring it home and cultivate it, or he can make it up by his own ability. come out."

They may seem like just a ragtag group of people, but they may actually come from thousands of worlds with different backgrounds.

"Chaos Castle is indeed well-deserved. I have never seen such a chaotic place." Mysterio raised his hand and rubbed his brows, smoothing out his wrinkled eyebrows with his fingers: "They really should open a zoo or an exhibition hall. It’s just…I don’t even know how to describe it.”

On the other side of the river is a sea of ​​roses. The Blood King also likes flowers that have the same color as his skin, but his favorite thing is to prick others with the thorns of roses. He will get excited when he sees creatures bleeding, and he will get excited when he sees creatures die. Even more excited, if the world were to be destroyed, he thought he would get the highest pleasure.

This is why his army spends their free time wallowing in the sea of ​​flowers.

Because this can gain the favor of the master. The master is a sadist, so they are naturally masochists. The louder they scream and the more painful they are, the more likely they are to be entrusted with important tasks and eventually be killed by the Blood King himself.

For them, that is the happiest thing. Not to mention the weird appearance of these monsters, their spirits and wills are distorted, and none of them are normal.

But this also makes them fearless of death. The more teammates they kill, the higher the morale of this unit will be, until they go completely crazy and die together with the enemy.

"For things that are difficult to describe in English, you should use Chinese idioms. This situation is called 'demon dancing'. Have you learned it?" Su Ming observed the army in the sea of ​​flowers. He actually wanted to build a zoo, but raising these things I'm afraid no one wants to see them, so I'd better kill them all and take some specimens back.

"I learned it." Mysterio blinked and smiled playfully: "What should we do next? If I want to use magic, I need preparation time to destroy such a large number of enemies. Otherwise, let me summon my army. come over?"

"Don't bother me. I took a closer look. In the Blood King's army, organic matter still accounts for a relatively high proportion. There are not many inorganic life units left, and they don't look very strong."

Su Ming did not let the mysterious guest open the space here to the border of hell. Although he could do it with the help of Sepurk, don't forget that the spokesperson Merlin may still be watching in the dark:

"Adjutant, prepare to initiate the neutron killing procedure."

"Are you going to purify the current planet? Sheriff." The deputy executed the order, and her projection appeared in front of him again.

"No, just irradiate the neutron stream for a short period of time. There is no need to burn down a whole planet. This is the earth after all." Su Ming shook his head, looked at her speechlessly, and flicked the cigarette ashes aside: "Also, There is a special connection between Chaos Keep and the Dark Tower, so don’t ruin this house.”

The adjutant smiled. She raised her hand and brushed the long hair beside her ears: "As ordered, the weapons started to charge, the space transfer protocol is being implemented, and the space bridge is stable... In addition, this building is ugly, like an ugly building." hedgehog."

"Hedgehog is enough. If you add an ugly word, be careful of hedgehog lovers protesting." Su Ming joked with her with a smile. At the same time, he began to use light rings and cosmic energy to build a protective shield. Liana beside him was also using magic to do it. The same thing.

Just as they were getting ready, several aircraft suddenly jumped out of the low-Earth orbit outside the planet. They formed a special triangular formation and slowly spread apart. They fired energy beams at each other, connecting the spacecraft to each other. .

The energy gradually became thicker, forming a triangular hole in the sky. The starry sky in the hole flashed several times, like a TV monitor, showing another strange space.

In that space, a huge metal structure was slowly rotating. It sprayed out a short burst of light, passed through the triangular opening in the blink of an eye, and bombarded somewhere on the planet not far away.

On the ground, Su Ming and Mysterio only saw the large tract of roses withering instantly, and the fallen petals seemed to be lifted up into the sky by invisible hands.

A huge triangular hole appeared in the blood-red clouds, and one could even see directly into space from there. A star in the distance seemed to blink mischievously as far as the eye could see.
