Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

In Salazar's hand, there was a broken map.

No one knows who actually drew this map.

But before leaving, Sherman Goldberg, the former Grand Elder and now the director of the Padilla Government Affairs Office, personally thrust it into Salazar's hand.

It is said...

This map existed as early as the founding of the Padilla city-state, and then it was passed down from generation to generation in the hands of great elders.

According to the markings on this map, the plain where they are now is called the Vernal Plain.

At this time, they had reached the end of the plain.

Weiner...

In the slang of the Forgotten Land, it also has another meaning of "those who defend the country and defend the country and resist the invaders".

The scene not far away clearly confirmed the description on the map.

Because on both sides of the city and beyond, the originally flat terrain gradually becomes rugged and undulating. If you look through the gray morning fog, you can even see the undulating mountains and the smoky mountains and forests.

The fortress-like city in front of us is like a majestic pass, standing at the junction between two mountain ranges, lying on the only way to the southwest.

As the Idar armored infantry vehicles gradually approached, the outline of the city wall became clearer.

Through the glass of the car window,

Looking at the dilapidated city wall in front of him, Major Almay Weasley finally issued a new order: "Enter the city!"

only……

After a while,

He seemed to have thought of something again and added:

"Just get in one car and let the rat wait outside, and the same goes for Salazar."

"The rest of the soldiers follow me in and take a look."

Hearing this,

All the Idar soldiers present agreed.

But Salazar seemed a little at a loss:

"Why are you asking me to wait outside? I want to go in with you too!"

Major Amer Weasley replied:

"The situation in the city is still unclear, but just looking at the formation outside the city wall, you know that a human tragedy has occurred."

"You are not an Idar soldier, you are just a guide. Now that your mission has been completed, there is no need to follow up and take risks."

Having said that,

But Salazar's eyes were extremely firm:

"It has been my lifelong wish to come to the Seven Golden Cities. Although the current Seven Golden Cities are somewhat different from the rumors, now that I have arrived, I will definitely not stop here!"

Major Almay Weasley stared into his eyes solemnly and said calmly:

"Have you really thought it through? If you enter this city gate, you might not be able to get out!"

after all……

Even though they had not found any trace of the mutant species at this time, several roars from the mutant species had been heard within the city wall ahead.

"Think it through!" Salazar nodded and said.

"Then let's go to the city..."

…

The wheels rolled over the weeds growing on the roadside, crushing the mutated corpses that were already broken and blurred.

Most of the houses within the city wall have collapsed, and the roadside is full of broken walls and traces of fire, making the movement of vehicles extremely slow.

But even so, Amel Weasley was able to figure out the architectural style of this city based on the buildings that still survived.

That is... no style!

Yes,

Almost all the buildings in the city in front of me are the simplest stone buildings without any style or decoration.

The residents who once lived here seemed to have only one requirement for a house that was strong enough! Safe enough!

and……

Even if it is a conservative estimate,

Almost half of these buildings are military buildings that can be used both military and civilian.

Rather than saying that this is a giant city located in the interior of the Forgotten Land... Amel Weasley feels that it is more like a military fortress built for war!

After passing through the city gate with corpses piled everywhere,

The Idar soldier named Algren had already leaned out of the roof of the car in full armor.

He replenished the magazine of the magic firearm on the roof of the car, loaded the chamber, and scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes.

Although several years may have passed since this tragedy occurred, the rancid smell in the city has not been alleviated at all, and is actually stronger than outside the city.

Even though he was wearing a mask, Algreen, who leaned out of the car, felt nauseated for a moment.

The city is very quiet.

Originally before entering the city, they could still vaguely hear the roar of mutants; but after passing through the city gate, they could only hear the engine sound of the armored vehicle they were riding in.

"You think...does that look like a mage tower?"

Sudden,

Major Amel Weasley in the cockpit pointed to a dilapidated spire tower diagonally in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Maybe? Go over and have a look?"

the driver asked uncertainly.

Major Amer took a deep look at the spire diagonally in front and said, "Forget it, don't worry about it. Core buildings are usually built in the center of the city."

However,

This time...

Major Amer Weasley guessed wrong after all.

Located in the center of the city is not a building, but an empty square.

The corpses piled up here,

Apparently more than anywhere else in the city.

Looking at this situation, Major Amel Weasley ordered:

"Be careful, I'll go down and take a look first."

"I'm with you!" Seeing this, Salazar said quickly.

"Give him a gun."

"good!"

…

Perhaps because the square is relatively empty, although the largest number of corpses are piled up here, the stench lingering in the air has become much lighter.

Located in the center of the square is a huge stone monument about tens of meters long.

Around the square, there are many large and small stone monuments surrounding it.

Salazar stepped over the corrupted corpses on the ground, and then came to the stone monument closest to him...

"Kianosh Thornton, 1147-1149, Guzapal."

"Ahmad Vichy, 1147-1163, Kilitsso."

"Siboniso Wooda..."

"Amy McCullough..."

While thinking about it,

Major Amel Weasley had already walked over from behind, with a hint of surprise in his words:

"Are these all names?"

Salazar did not speak, but nodded slightly silently.

"Then what does the last one mean? Guzapal? Kilitso?"

After a while,

Salazar said aloud:

"Those are the names of city-states..."

"The name of the city-state?"

Hearing this, Amel couldn't help but taste Salazar's words in his mind.

In this city located deep in the Forsaken Land, did you see a stone tablet engraved with the name of the city-state and the names of people?

The first column is the name of the person, and the third column is the city-state.

As for the second column, it is obviously the date,

only……

That date is not the date of birth, but the date of arrival in this city-state calculated based on the past calendar of the Forgotten Land!

For Amel Weasley, this kind of operation is quite familiar.

Because in today's Idar Principality, all soldiers who died on the battlefield will be buried near the Hanging Garden at the foot of Mount Almis, and stone tablets will be engraved as a memorial.

so……

Are the stone monuments erected in front of us similar to the practices of the Principality of Idar?

While thinking, several people slowly came to the monument located in the middle of the square.

then……

Several people present were surprised to find...

Many questions suddenly became clear the moment they saw the stone tablet in front of them!

"Quick! Send a report to the base camp! Immediately!"

…

If we say that the development of magic technology has laid the industrial foundation of the Idar Principality.

Then the research on spiritual power and the application of remote communication devices allow the government orders and intelligence of the Idar Principality to cross the barriers between mountains and seas and travel thousands of miles away unimpeded.

In less than half a day,

A message from the depths of the Forsaken Land,

Through the Padilla Army Base located on the southwest coast of the Forgotten Land, it was transferred to the mainland of the Principality of Idar after several rounds. Then, after being sorted, it was presented to the desk of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar.

Many things have gradually become clear.

For example...

Why do the Seven Golden Cities exist?

What are the reasons for the various abnormalities that appeared in mutant species during this period?

The stone monument located in the center of the square engraved the reason why the city existed, and also told all onlookers, including Salazar, Amel and others, the efforts made by the indigenous people of the Forsaken Land. .

As Bruno once guessed…

Seven Golden Cities,

Those seven cities located deep in the Forsaken Land are of course not the ideal hometowns passed down by the local indigenous people, but they are the forefront and forefront of mankind's defense against mutant species!

There is indeed a barrier there,

but……

The so-called barrier is not to protect the city, but to seal away the evil thoughts of the gods!

Yes,

As Bruno has seen in the forgotten past.mp4, mutants are bred by the evil thoughts of gods, so...

Seven cities, seven directions, seven formations.

The mage towers standing in the city hold up a powerful barrier shaped by magic power.

Why is there almost no magic in the Forsaken Land?

Because almost all the magic power that can be used is used to support that barrier!

What was shrouded in that barrier were the evil thoughts of the gods and the huge abyss pit left behind after that earth-shattering explosion!

Once upon a time, the magic barrier still shrouded the place where mutants were born, keeping the number of mutants outside the Forgotten Land within a limit that humans could bear.

Once upon a time, those brave adventurers living on the outskirts of the Forsaken Land still had a chance to reach the Seven Golden Cities.

They came out of one city after another,

or alone,

Or go together,

Cross the vast plains, cross mountains and rivers, become a warrior on the front line, and kill the mutants that are lucky enough to cross the barrier one after another.

Yes,

The barrier constructed by magic can seal the evil thoughts of the gods, but it is not enough to stop the mutants.

Fortunately, no matter where they were born or what age they were, these adventurers who came from afar all became residents of the Seven Golden Cities the moment they arrived here!

However……

I don’t know when, everything became different.

According to the record on the stone tablet,

The founders of the Seven Golden Cities should know that the frequency and speed of the birth of mutants are closely related to the activity of the gods' residual thoughts!

so……

When the barrier constructed by magic gradually becomes more and more fragile, and when more and more mutants rush out of the barrier...

These warriors standing on the walls of the Seven Golden Cities soon realized an unlikely fact. God seemed to be slowly waking up?

The people in power in the Seven Golden Cities probably knew about the explosion that had occurred and had some understanding of the fall of the gods, but what they didn't know was...

After that explosion, where was the damaged body of the god blown to?

therefore……

As the gods' evil thoughts gradually become more active,

They can only watch as the number of mutants increases and the magical barrier that is struggling to support becomes more and more fragile at a speed visible to the naked eye!

They also thought about sending warriors and messengers back to the edge of the Forsaken Land to remind those city-states.

However, when they realized that they should do this, the mutants all over the mountains and plains, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu. ｎｅ has made it difficult for them to even take a step out of the city!

As for the final outcome...

Obviously,

The seven golden cities have turned into seven ruins, and the magic barrier that once existed no longer exists. Countless mutant species finally have no biggest obstacle on their way forward!

then……

The scale of the beast tide is getting bigger and bigger, the frequency of outbreaks is getting higher and higher, and even the violence and hatred in the eyes of the mutants... are gradually becoming more and more obvious.

"Major Almay Weasley, Undersecretary Salazar Knox, and the soldiers who went on the expedition together, will probably all be able to return safely, right?"

Closing the extremely heavy report in his hand, Bruno couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Although the message from the Forgotten Land only elaborated on the important information about the Seven Golden Cities, the danger and difficulty of this trip can also be seen from just a few words.

Although not mentioned much in the report,

But……

How is it different from dancing on the tip of a knife when crossing a vast no-man's land and dodging among countless mutant races?

"Don't worry, Duke! Our Idar soldiers will never disappoint your expectations! They will definitely come back safely!"

"Prepare the Idar Hero Medal in advance, they deserve such an honor!"

"I'll do it now!" Mundell quickly bowed and replied.

Mundell is gone,

But Bruno's expression gradually turned cold.

The ancestors of the Seven Golden Cities did not know where the remains of the gods were.

but……

Bruno knows!

He is in the hands of the Church of Light, in the great desert of Augure!

so……

The source of all this is, after all, the wolfish ambition of the Church of Light!

"Church...damn it!"
