Chapter 968
968 Oracle (1)
Temperament was something that was hard to explain, but it definitely existed!
The hundred riders in front of him had a chilling aura. Even though they were standing quietly in place, a terrifying aura still spread out.
That kind of cold gaze that had been honed by life and death was definitely not fake. The soldiers guarding the city felt their hearts jump with just one look.
Without a doubt, this was a group of people who killed without blinking!
Fortunately, they did not continue to advance. Otherwise, with the speed of the warhorses, these riders could have used the momentum to cross the city wall and then jumped onto the top of the city wall to kill!
After seeing this, the soldiers felt their hearts slowly relax. From the looks of it, the other party did not seem to want to attack Snow City.
Of course, this result was the best.
The soldiers served to make a living, but fighting a war would cost them their lives. The soldiers of the city knew which was more important.
Who would be willing to be stabbed and bleed on the battlefield unless they had no other choice?
Just as the city guards heaved a sigh of relief, they heard a series of hurried footsteps behind them. Then, they saw a series of strong figures leaping onto the city wall, all of them fully armed with their swords drawn.
A few mages were like giant birds, floating to the top of the city wall in an instant. The magic staves in their hands flickered with a faint light of energy.
The cultivators of Snow City had already rushed over after hearing the news.
“What are you doing in Snow City?”
A heavy-armored cultivator with a broadsword on his back stood on the top of the city wall and shouted at the riders below with a solemn expression.
“I’m the special envoy of the Empire. I’d like to see Lord balguv. I have something important to discuss with him!”
A rider in exquisite armor and a Scarlet Cape stepped forward and replied to the cultivator on the wall.
“What is it that made you mobilize so many forces?”
The heavy-armored cultivator was still worried and asked again.
The Empire’s special envoy frowned slightly. He really didn’t want to reveal his purpose of coming here in front of so many unrelated people.
However, from the looks of the heavily armored cultivator, he probably wouldn’t let them enter the city unless he made his intentions clear.
Taking a deep breath, the envoy slowly said, ” “The Empire’s high priest has received a divine decree. The otherworldly demons have already entered our world and a calamity is about to arrive.
And according to the divine decree, the vanguard of this group of otherworldly demons is currently in the snow-covered territory!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the city wall suddenly fell silent, and faint gasps could be heard.
“Open the city gates and let them go!”
The heavily armored cultivator shouted and the tightly shut city gate was quickly opened. Then, the hundred riders rode their war horses into the city.
Ignoring the dust on his body, the Empire’s special envoy immediately went to the City Hall of Snow City to meet the Lord of this place, bargof.
After crossing the long stone steps, the Empire’s special envoy and five cultivators entered the Lord’s Hall, which was located at the highest point of the city, under the guidance of the heavy-armored cultivator.
At this moment, the hall was brightly lit, and a group of armored cultivators from various races stood guard on both sides. They lined up from the door all the way to the Lord’s throne, and when the Empire’s envoy entered, they all looked over.
As a neutral territory, the entire xueman territory did not have much respect for the Empire’s officials. The same was true for the cultivators here.
Under the unscrupulous gazes of the cultivators, the Empire’s special envoy walked calmly and walked to Lord balguv with his head high.
“Viscount karlot of the Empire greets his lordship!”
The Empire’s special envoy said in a melodious and soothing voice after performing a noble salute to balguv.
“Viscount karlot, you said that the otherworldly demonic tribe is invading. What’s going on?”
Lord balguv, who was wearing a golden crown, did not waste any words and directly asked the envoy of the Empire.
“When the Empire’s high priest was making the sacrifice, he suddenly received a divine decree, saying that an otherworldly demon had broken through the crystal wall of the plane and secretly entered our world, and that they had appeared in the snow-covered territory.
This group of heavenly demons was very powerful, and according to the instructions of the gods, they were only the vanguards. There would be more heavenly demons coming later.
The heavenly demonic tribe’s goal is to destroy our world. Once they succeed, the world will become barren and all living beings will be destroyed!
Thus, I request that his lordship give the order to allow us to lead our men to search the territory. We can not allow the otherworldly demons to succeed in their plot!”
The Empire’s special envoy told Lord balguv everything he knew in a serious tone.
Balguv, who had been supporting his body with one arm, also sat up straight. He looked at Viscount karlot and asked, ” “Are you sure that this is the content of the Oracle, and that you’re not trying to use this matter to taint my xueman territory?”
Karlot laughed bitterly and said to bargof, ” if your Lordship doesn’t believe me, you can ask the representatives beside me. The gods they worship have also sent down oracles with similar contents!
The expression of the previously expressionless bargov, who even had a trace of suspicion in his eyes, finally changed at this moment.
He knocked on his throne and thought for a while before looking up at karlot and the others.
so, the purpose of you coming here is to find the vanguard of the otherworldly demon race and kill them all? ”
“That’s indeed the case, but our numbers are limited, and the territory of the xueman territory is too vast, so we can only ask for the Lord’s help!”
Karlot’s tone was very sincere, but he was very depressed in his heart. If it wasn’t for the fact that Lord xueman and the Empire were not in the same boat, and rashly mobilizing troops would easily trigger a war, he would have already brought his soldiers here.
The other forces had the same idea, so they decided to inform balguv to prevent him from interfering.
If this old man was stubborn and tried to obstruct their actions, then the forces that they represented would definitely not be polite. They would definitely mobilize a large number of troops to occupy Snow City, and then dig three feet deep to find the otherworldly demons and kill them!
This was a matter of great importance, and they couldn’t care less!
Bargof stood up from his throne and walked back and forth a few times before suddenly stopping.
“We can’t determine the truth of the matter regarding the otherworldly demons for the time being, but we can’t underestimate them either. I can allow you to search for their traces in the xueman territory, but you must do so with the company of the cultivators of my territory!
If we confirm the existence of the otherworldly demons, I won’t just sit by and do nothing. I’ll definitely send my troops to clear them out!”
To be honest, balguv was quite depressed. The territory was not stable at the moment, and rebellious forces of all sizes came out from time to time to cause trouble. Who would have thought that the invasion of the otherworldly demons would happen at this time!
I’m afraid that my xueman territory won’t be peaceful anymore!
But even so, bargof still did not dare to let the Empire’s soldiers and the members of those forces enter his territory. It was easy to invite a God, but difficult to send them away. If these guys United, the xueman territory was no match for them at all!
Now, he could only take one step at a time. If this group of people really wanted to use the otherworldly demons as an excuse to try to seize his territory, balguv would definitely not sit still and wait for death.
After hearing balguv’s reply, although karlot was helpless, he could only nod and agree.
The most important thing now was to find the traces of the heavenly demon race and then destroy them. Other things could be put aside for the time being.
Moreover, karlot’s team was only a team on the surface. The hidden team had already split up and was investigating the entire xueman territory.
It probably wouldn’t take long for good news to arrive!
All of them were sly old foxes. How could they do things so openly? even if karlot did not say anything, balguv would definitely send people to investigate to determine how many outsiders had entered the snow region.
However, this old fellow would soon discover that compared to the otherworldly demons, the previous struggles were nothing. If he was not careful, he would not only lose his xueman territory, but also his own life.
This was because the enemy they were about to face had destroyed countless worlds. The word “terrifying” could no longer be used to describe it. It was almost a synonym for catastrophe.
However, only a very small number of people knew about this information in the Oracle!
