I looked over there with my peripheral vision.
I was wondering where he was going, turns out he was gathering his troops.
These high-level knights and high-level magicians...are they emergency personnel from all the high-level professionals in the legion?
The second prince led everyone and arrived in an instant, a thousand meters away from the circle.
He drew the sword from his waist and pointed it in the air: "Listen, attack the city lord!"
Zhang Mu and the enemy were both stunned for a moment.
The second prince looked up and stared at Zhang Mu, then suddenly laughed: "Don't underestimate any of the descendants of the Ice and Snow King."
Danielson looked around, sighed and said to his companions, "As expected, we have to die in the capital."
"Who cares? It doesn't matter if I die sooner or later..."
Before he could finish his words, he seemed to be held by invisible rules, his whole body stiffened and he couldn't move no matter how his thoughts urged him to.
In his fixed sight, several city lords were like him, maintaining different postures, motionless.
what happened?
God?
Everyone inevitably thinks of the light man in the sky.
However, the truth that rang in their ears denied their guess.
This voice was not as stiff and mechanical as the one spoken by Guangren before, as if the owner was a machine without any emotional ups and downs.
It is the voice of a little girl, crisp and tender, and if you savor it carefully, you can taste it as well as being well-behaved and cute.
What did the little girl say?
The city lords who regained control of their bodies recalled.
"I say, Lake is forbidden to use force!"
Chapter 286 Is there any hot place?
The truth faded in Zhang Mu's ears, and when he came to his senses, he felt that it sounded very familiar.
Or rather, I have actually heard it, but it’s just a little bit unbelievable.
The moment the Pope appeared in the royal capital, he understood that the "he" the oracle was referring to was someone around him.
Zhang Mu thought about who it might be and what his relationship with God was.
We began to infer that the probability of it being Mih was quite high. After all, forming a resistance army in an environment like the Sol Continent was not something a normal person could do.
But I quickly rejected the idea in my heart, because Mih lacked something...something different from others.
Following this line of thought and thinking more deeply, it was natural for me to turn my attention to Soren and Palina.
An ordinary person without professional talent, whose thoughts are incompatible with the people of Sol Continent, but has certain characteristics in his heart, which perfectly meets the requirements of being "special".
His eyes moved back and forth between the two of them for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't be sure.
What he never expected was that it was Leia, an ordinary demihuman.
Yes, Leah also has her own characteristics, such as carrying the key to the Qingquan treasure, and asking to take back the crystal before leaving the royal capital, but then entrusting Mihe to return it after leaving.
Zhang Mu’s reaction was not slow, and he was also hesitant at that time whether “he” was Leah.
But the reason why she was too conspicuous eventually became the reason why he excluded the kitten girl.
All the clues finally focused on her, which was too eye-catching.
Isn't that how stories are written - launching a dazzling false goal to cover up the real core.
Before hearing the truth, Zhang Mu was very sure of his judgment.
However, he only realized now that when a person enters his own sheepfold to catch a sheep, what would he be cautious about? And then he would go to great lengths to disguise himself carefully to ensure that the lambs didn't know that their companions had been captured by a "monster"?
People won’t do that.
Because the sheep's brain is not strong enough to understand these things, and even if it can understand them, what can it do?
If you can escape from the sheepfold, can you also escape from the area where humans live?
Sheep are not yet able to break free of the gravity of the planet and fly across space to other distant galaxies.
So neither will God.
Zhang Mu woke up from his thoughts and looked around.
The twenty or so city lords who survived the calamity all looked grateful for having survived.
The Second Prince led a legion of more than a thousand professionals to attack, which meant that the Saint-level old man became their enemy.
They were already barely holding on, and with one more Saint-level warrior in good condition and one injured, they would be killed in the capital in less than a minute.
Now there is a real word prohibiting the use of force, which is great.
"Junior." Avril flew over from the side. The magic tower in her hand was nowhere to be found and had disappeared. "The voice just now..."
"Yeah, Leah."
The icy blue eyebrows frowned: "She used the truth word..."
"If I'm not mistaken, she doesn't know the Word of Truth."
Hearing this, Avril recalled Cass Town's energy and asked in surprise, "You mean, the treasure under the spring is prepared for her?"
“This should be the truth.”
"So...what's up with her mantra?"
Zhang Mu pondered for a moment and said, "It may have something to do with God. I guess, um, it may be a trump card given by God, and she can't use it many times."
After saying that, he suddenly rushed towards the city gate: "Senior sister, please take care of this, I will be back soon."
Avril knew what he was going to do and nodded in agreement.
Here, Zhang Mu flew at full speed and in more than a minute, he flew over the ruins and arrived at the wide dirt road in front of the city gate.
It was unusually quiet, and they seemed to have left.
Just as I was about to chase along the road, a letter suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the palm of my hand.
He opened the letter, took out the letter, and quickly scanned it.
The content of the letter is very simple.
Leah told Zhang Mu that the mantra she used was a trace of divine power hidden in her body.
Therefore, the effect is limited, and the truth spoken out can only last about a year.
During this year, she will try her best to complete the trial and inherit the throne of Pope, and then all the difficulties will be resolved.
If the trial is postponed, I hope Zhang Mu can persevere until he succeeds.
Later, Leah emphasized in bold font that the mantra has a time limit, and the servant of God has already informed all living beings on the continent.
Therefore, Zhang Mu cannot harbor the fluke mentality of bluffing. The countries on the mainland will be afraid of her and dare not attack Lake.
[Of course, Leah believes that Brother Zhang Mu will be able to hold on until the day Leah returns.]
At the bottom of the letter, end with this sentence.
Zhang Mu put the letter into his inventory, looked at the end of the straight mud road, and turned back to the capital.
The so-called trial does not pose any risk to life.
Leah said so, and Zhang Mu chose to believe it.
In the letter, the little cat girl revealed that she came from the Kingdom of God. Although her status was not as high as that of God, she was not a servant either.
Besides, God took great pains to send her to the continent of Thor, so he must have a purpose and would not abandon her so easily.
One year?
Flying forward against the strong wind, Zhang Mu laughed: "You underestimated your brother Zhang Mu, didn't you?"
Soon returned to the vicinity of the original magic tower.
On the ground, the city that was prosperous a few hours ago is now desolate and dilapidated.
Fragments of the wall were scattered all over the place, and in those areas less affected by the battle, the outlines of some buildings could be vaguely seen.
The smoke and dust had dissipated, and the bodies of the city lords who had unfortunately died were lying everywhere on the broken stones.
As for the ordinary citizens and adventure groups.
The smarter ones fled the city early - Fleming revealed part of the truth to Blois and Pestoia, and he did nothing to stop them, allowing them to escape on their own.
Most of the others had their vitality sucked dry by the blood sacrifice array to activate the magic tower.
Those who were lucky enough to still be half alive were buried in the rubble in the subsequent fierce battle between Zhang Mu and others.
Now, the only people who are still alive in this huge capital are those present here.
Avril saw Zhang Mufei coming back and asked curiously, "Didn't you go to find Leah?
Could it be..."
"You're overthinking it. She's fine." Zhang Mu saw her tense face and smiled, "No one can touch her in Sol Continent."
When Avril relaxed, he said in a serious tone: "Liya left me a letter. The situation in Lake is not optimistic."
"which aspect?"
"Leah's words can only last for one year. After that, we will have to face sieges from surrounding kingdoms, or even expeditions from the empire in the center of the continent."
"I understand." Avril knew the seriousness of the matter. "I will immediately start to restore Lake's damaged forces during this turmoil. The consolidation of the border will also be carried out at the same time."
Zhang Mu heard the hidden meaning and asked in confusion: "You are not going to be crowned?"
Having stayed in the capital for some time, he had heard a little about Lake's rules through what he had seen and heard.
As the supreme leader of a country, the king is not responsible for handling the daily affairs of the kingdom.
His only task is to practice, practice again, and infinitely improve his strength.
Only if the king is strong enough can he gain the loyalty of city lords, the trust of his people, and the fear of other members of the royal family.
