MTL - Infinite Throne-Chapter 1186 "Dawn Bells"
Chapter 1186 "The Bell of Dawn"
"Herland".
The moon is bright and the stars are rare.
Humanity has become accustomed to the situation that "the next morning" will never come again.
This is "Eternal Night".
Many people don't even expect to see "dawn" when they open their eyes again.
Never, dawn.
On the top of the Great Engineer's Tower, inside the defensive light curtain, Li Kai was alone and set up a coffee table. As the aroma of tea wafted, he looked into the distance in silence.
The outline of the moonlight was stained with a hint of crimson, showing a bit of chill out of thin air.
Cup after cup of scalding hot tea into the stomach, Li Kai has long lost the mind of "tea tasting", and is purely "drinking".
In the distance, the dark ruins of the city are faintly bright, and in every corner, every moment, there are people struggling to survive on the ruins.
The green light is as gorgeous as fireflies in the darkness, but Li Kai knows that these "green lights" are exactly what the patrol team needs to be vigilant about at all times, because the concentration of green light represents the density of "alien creatures" . Once the green light is prosperous, it means that the alien beasts will gather into a tide and launch a siege on "Haiting City", one of the only remaining settlements of human beings.
in the dark.
Li Kaikai put down the teacup, stood up, and when he turned his head again, the dignified expression on his face faded, replaced by a refined smile.
"Madam, haven't you slept yet?"
"You are too embarrassed to talk about me."
Mrs. Li put on a coat for her husband to protect her husband from the cold. The temperature inside the camouflage canopy was pleasant, but outside the canopy, it was a freezing winter, and the blood was congealing. When she put on a coat for her husband, her hand full of scars inadvertently slid over Li Kai's snow-white temples. Mrs. Li made a move, and after a moment said softly, "Husband, it's time to cut your hair."
"Cut, you can cut it." Li Kai also held his wife's scarred hand distressedly, rubbed it back and forth, and said, "Let's talk about it when you have time."
The husband and wife were silent for a while in the cold wind.
Next to each other, enjoying a precious moment of peace.
"Five years."
Mrs. Li suddenly said something and sighed softly: "It's been five years."
"Yeah, unknowingly, it's been five years."
Li Kai echoed the road.
Ever since Irene took the Gaia Fortress away.
It’s been five years here.
Within five years, Li Kai commanded the Apocalypse Guild and experienced brutal wars with the real Apocalypse Knights.
Countless people died, and the rest lingered on under the terrible pressure of the four knights of the apocalypse.
If it wasn't for the backhand left by the president before he left, the death knight and the war knight somehow became "own people", and they avoided the people of the Apocalypse Guild. Li Kai believed that they would not be able to persist.
"I wonder how Chubby and Susu are doing now?"
Mrs. Li thought of her good son.
"It must be a quarrel every day."
Li Kaihui.
"How can it be, it's not like your fat boy doesn't know, but Susu has pinched her to death."
Li Kai grinned: "It's up to me, love my wife."
"Yes, it's up to you, up to you."
Mrs. Li pinched Li Kai with a smile, which seemed to be very hard, but it was actually flirting.
Suddenly.
clang clang clang!
In the station, the alarm bell rang.
The patrol team looked out to the horizon and saw the dark shadow covering the sky and the moon, and hurriedly notified Li Kai.
When Li Kai was notified, members from different patrol groups sent messages at the same time, which shocked him and grinned.
A few hideous bone dragons spread their wings and flew high, and the boundless shadows covered Haiting City.
"It's a death knight!"
"Death Knight Siege!"
"Report! The Death Knight is here!"
Li Kai heard the death knight, opened his eyes a little, and looked into the distance.
Sure enough, it is the signature mount of the Death Knight.
A cute bone dragon.
the other side.
The blood-colored pupil light ripped apart the night, and a one-eyed lifeform with a diameter of several kilometers, in a way that violated the principles of physics, slowly approached here in the sky.
"It's a war knight!"
"It's a war knight!"
Ordinary members don't know the depths, let alone the secret relationship between the three. Such a terrible scene makes many members of the Apocalypse Guild feel like they are facing a great enemy, thinking that they will encounter extinction.
"All members, stick to your post!"
"Shen policy army, follow me out of the city to fight!"
Li Kai hurriedly entered the warehouse, carrying a large bag of packages, which could not fit in the storage space, so he could only carry it behind his back, and after a few words to his wife, he rushed out of the city.
Many people in the city watched Li Kai's heroic fighting figure and secretly wiped away tears.
Li Kai took hundreds of personal soldiers out of the city.
I see from a distance:
War knights, death knights, and Li Kai, scuffle into groups.
The chaotic light flashed in the sky a few times.
Master Ma was on the city wall, shaking his head and lowering his head to record.
These are all histories that need to be passed down.
【Apocalypse Calendar 5 Years】
【Eternal Night. 】
[Vice president of the Apocalypse Guild, brave and good at fighting, fighting death knights and war knights alone. 】
【The sky and the earth cracked, thunder and lightning surged. 】
【The three-way battle, Vice President Li Kai fought evenly without fear under the terrifying offensive of the two knights. 】
Master Ma squinted his eyes, and after writing for a while, the tip of the pen paused, he laughed, and continued to write:
【It seems like the flames from the nine secluded hells, burning everything to pieces. 】
【The bone dragon spreads its wings in the sky, one-eyed war weapon, forming an unbreakable wall. 】
【Where the flames are burning, the aroma of meat wafts out, showing the tragic situation of the battle. 】
…
Li Kai, Gu Tianqing, and Mi Lien pretended to fight for a while, and asked their subordinates to surround them. They set up a barbecue grill on the ruins, and the smell of meat wafted out.
"Yeah, I suddenly miss a guy's craftsmanship."
Merlin rolled up his sleeves and poured out a splash of water with both hands, washing the ingredients.
After Merlin finished speaking, he inadvertently noticed that the long sword of the war knight beside him was clanging, silently murderous, and Merlin slapped his forehead hard with an ouch: "Ah, sorry, I talked too much."
Million took off her helmet, and her short golden hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head. Five years later, she did not leave too many marks on her face.
"I won't take it off, for fear of scaring you."
Behind the death knight's visor, there was a hoarse sound, mixed with a "click" sound that seemed to be rubbing against bones. Both Li Kai and Mi Lien know why. After becoming a death knight, Gu Tianqing has now become an existence like a "living dead", and that face has long lost its former style. Under such a gloomy atmosphere, she revealed her face. Will terrify the flowers and plants.
"It's a shame!"
Li Kai turned the grilling fork skillfully, imitating Irin's previous movements and started grilling.
After finishing.
Million devoured a chicken in one bite and pouted, "It's not delicious."
Li opened his eyes and twitched a few times. He looked at the death knight Gu Tianqing, who was covered in black mist, and asked cautiously, "Since you didn't come to beg for food, why did you deliberately drive the bone dragon to surround my city?"
"three things."
Gu Tianqing looked at Milian who had eaten a few roast chickens in a blink of an eye, envy and contempt, he came to find something, and Milian came to eat just because he noticed the movement of his "Death Star". Gu Tianqing looked away from the bare bones on the ground and began to say something:
"First, the nameless old black has recently been instructed by the above, and has a little change. It is estimated that you can see the clues from stargazing every day. He is coming in the direction of Haiting City. Wherever he passes, there is a plague. Spread, no one survives."
Li Kai nodded, this matter is already on the agenda, if Gu Tianqing doesn't come, he will also hold a defense meeting in advance, preparing to find a way to withstand the famine knight's assault once again.
"Second, the knight of conquest has been silent in his 'temple' for a year, never bubbling up. I gave him a divination out of curiosity."
Li Kai knew the magic of Gu Tianqing's divination, and hurriedly asked.
Tani Tianqing sighed and took out three cards.
Li Kai took a look and took a breath of the fragrant barbecue gas. He saw that the three tarot cards were brutally cut to the end of paper, with sharp edges, as if they were cut open by scissors.
The conclusion is self-evident, something is going on over there.
"As for the third thing, I suspect it has something to do with 'him'."
Li Kai heard the words and stood up suddenly, his eyes finally opened. Five years later, I didn't expect to hear the news of the president again.
Gu Tianqing stroked the slightly curled bangs on the visor, and let out a hollow laugh: "Hohoho... I noticed that the sight of 'they' cast on the four of us recently has become weak. At first I thought that It was they who got tired of it and found out later that they weren't."
"I suspect that it is very likely that there is something outside of this world that has drawn their attention to the past, something ... far more worthy of concern than the 'result' here. I can't think of any other possibilities other than the big job."
"What about divination?" Li Kai asked tentatively.
"Beyond the ability." Gu Tianqing spread out his hands: "Anyway, I have already reminded you."
Million reluctantly left.
Gu Tianqing rolled over and mounted the bone dragon. Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment and turned his back to Li Kai.
"To be honest, I've been tired for the past five years. If he doesn't come back, I'll end it all in my own way."
Wash la la.
Shadows obscuring the sky leave.
Million also returned to the Wandering Sea.
Before leaving, Merlin bowed politely to Li Kai and thanked Li Kaiyun for donating precious supplies to feed his master.
He packed some by the way, and there are still 20,000 mouths waiting to be fed, waiting for him to bring takeaways back.
Sure enough.
As Gu Tianqing said.
The Knights of Famine are marching towards Haiting City.
Standing on the top of the tower, Li Kai looked into the distance, and saw the uneven surface of the ruins, the green light, like a rancid sea tide, hit here.
On rancid green water, twisted limbs, rancid creatures, walk on green water.
When Haiting City was still several kilometers away, all combatants in Haiting City consciously put on gas masks.
Among the four knights of the apocalypse, the one they hate the most is the unknown old black.
Just fight, every time you fight, you have to release biochemical attacks in advance, especially the next game.
They still don't know what the real name of the unknown old black is, and they are not interested.
There is no opening remarks, no confrontation, and the war is about to break out.
The human expression was numb, passively guarding the city, fighting the stench creatures that broke into the outer city fortress.
When some people die, there is no pain on their faces, but relief on their faces.
The battle between and the Knights of Famine lasted for three days.
Unlike usual, the four apocalypse knights are like punching cards at work, punching from time to time, and running away when they are almost done. The purpose seems to be to weaken the strength of human beings like boiling frogs in warm water. But this time it was different. Wuming Lao Hei didn't know what kind of stimulation he received. It took three days after a dozen, and he still didn't mean to retreat at all.
In the resident square of Haiting City, stretchers were full of wounded people. The "healers" with "healing" abilities fell one after another due to the depletion of their psionic energy. After being carried away, there were new "healers". "Arrived. However, the intensity of this invasion was far greater than usual, and Li Kai gradually noticed something was wrong.
"Launch flares!"
Fourth day.
Li Kai fired a signal flare heavily, shaking people.
"Damn!"
Old Hei suddenly cursed, and above his head a huge twelve-pointed star magic circle was sketching at high speed.
This is an air strike from the Wandering Sea, a "hymn" sung by 20,000 "sisters".
The dense one-eyed army covered the night sky, and Milian rode a war machine, under the air cover of "Hanth", to kill the famine knight.
The horizon.
Boundless bone dragons are hanging in the air, hesitating, they did not end.
Gu Tianqing looked at Milian below with the pitch-black holy sword, grabbing the nameless old black and slashing to death, and had no intention of intervening.
He is very clear that the reason why "here" has been maintained for so long these years is because under the deliberate control of both of them, a "delicate" balance is maintained. Gu Tianqing also intentionally creates this "balance". Once the balance is broken , they are not happy to see it, and the above is not happy to see it.
This year, the attention of the four rulers above seemed to fall on other places, and Gu Tianqing, relying on his own connections, took the opportunity to find out the inside story of many battles.
He sat quietly on the back of the bone dragon, as if waiting for something.
Wuming Lao Hei seems to be pulling his hips, but his vitality is extremely tenacious, as if this is the only "advantage" he can praise besides "stinky". As a war knight, with the support of endless magic power, Milian released her "curry stick" like a "flat A" at will, destroying the body of the famine knight with a sword, and the famine knight can regenerate from the rotten water in a blink of an eye. Milian gradually became impatient.
Usually he would run when he hit the famine knight, but now he seems to be a different person, no matter how much he hits, he can't run, Miriam is ready to get real.
at this time.
On the other side of the sky, the "Conquer Star", which had been silent for a year without any movement, suddenly burst into a strong glow.
Gu Tianqing was shocked, and looked in the direction of Conqueror Star. After a moment of astonishment, Gu Tianqing suddenly covered her visor and let out a weird laugh: "Hohoho-no wonder you haven't moved this year! It turned out to be... to open the door. Hang it up!"
The shadow behind Gu Tianqing slowly stood up on the back of the bone dragon, and gradually formed another "Gu Tianqing".
The outline of "Shadow Valley Tianqing" vaguely resembled him when he was young, but the eyes and mouth were white, like three holes, commensurate with the dark shadow, appearing black and white.
"I'm quitting." Gu Tianqing threw the sickle on the back of the bone dragon as if in a temper, and lay on the ground with a loving attitude: "Come on your own."
"'Betrayal' is your nature." The shadow sneered strangely: "I can make you 'live' and survive with a new and perfect posture of 'Shadow'."
Gu Tianqing laughed: "Nature? You're wrong, 'betrayal' is just the slightly darker part of my complex human nature, not my nature."
"You are destined to be with 'Shadow'."
…
“Click!”
The night sky, like glass, cracked a point.
…
"Maybe it is!" Gu Tianqing closed her eyes, flipped her palm, and a tarot card spun on her fingertips: "But for five years, I was tired of 'shadow', and I finally realized my 'nature', it turned out that The real me is an upright gentleman who 'desires' light."
Shadow facial features stiffened suddenly.
…
"click."
The cracks spread around like a spider web around that point, and there was another click, like thunder.
…
"Sometimes, I also want to bask in the sun, facing the sea, and spring flowers bloom."
"Actually, I lied to Li Kai, you know, I always like to make some innocuous jokes. Even you don't know, when my card is split, what I do is not the conquering knight, but a certain 'dream' ' Name promises to bring 'Dawn' to the nasty guy here."
Gu Tianqing smiled wearily, and put an index finger on his mouth: "Shh... Great Lord of Shadows, listen..."
Shadow Valley Tianqing tilted her neck.
boom!
The sky slammed open, and a beam of blue streamer pierced through the world.
Tianqing Gu squinted at the "hole" in the sky.
“CHIMEOFTHEDAWNBELLS~”
Tianqing Gu hummed the song happily.
"This is, the bell of dawn."
