Chapter 226
Chapter 226
Because of the considerable length of the passage, and the fact that the Zerg's breathing method is different from that of humans, Lucius' physical exertion increased as he went to the back, and he had to go back the same way.
It stands to reason that it would take several years to build such a huge project, even for the Zerg.Not to mention that Cantero's land area is large enough, and the size of the Zerg is also very considerable, so the construction project is much more difficult than the mining tunnel.
At least Lucius didn't understand how the Zerg consolidated the tunnel before returning to the city.Without the support of wood and stone structures, how did the Zerg tamp down the soil walls to ensure that such a long tunnel would not collapse?
When Lucius entered, he thought the tunnel was only one or two kilometers long, and he was even prepared to die. However, in the process of returning to the original road, he finally understood the construction skills of the Zerg.That is to replace the supporting frame with corpses of the same kind to prop up such a terrifying project abruptly.
"It's really... risking your life in exchange for the future of the whole clan." Lucius broke off a piece of soil coldly, looked at the remains of the Zerg race mixed into the tunnel wall, and couldn't imagine what the crazy and desperate middle race would do. What happened.
Thinking of this, Lucius' expression became more and more serious, and he couldn't help but hastened to go back.
And when he arrived at the fortress, the old, weak, sick and disabled who were trembling yesterday all showed relieved smiles.
Seeing Lucius' return, the chief explained: "The Zerg stopped attacking since last night. I exchanged information with the chiefs of other fortresses, and learned that the Zerg in other places also disappeared.
"The gods are still on the side of his believers." After the master said, he made a prayer gesture.Even the Cantero citizens on the side expressed their gratitude to the statue in the fortress, making Lucius unable to speak.
"Your Excellency, I would like to say something unsightly at this time." No matter how difficult it is to speak, Lucius coughed lightly and told the chief what he saw and heard on the road, making the latter's smile stiff on the face.
"I swear in the name of all the gods, none of what I just said is false." Lucius knew that the chief would not easily trust a foreigner, especially a foreigner who had a close relationship with the Obstar royal family, so he proposed to the other party. Said: "You can send someone to follow me to find out. If I have a false statement, let the patriarch of your country escort me back to the Pope's country."
Facing Lucius' sincere face, although the headmaster wore a false smile of "You are too polite", but in action, he surrounded Lucius, and then asked a respected old priest to lead the team to Lucius Find out where you found it.
"Your Excellency, I have something else to do. Can I go ahead?" Lucius recalled what he had seen in the tunnel, and felt that with the madness of the Zerg, they would use their lives to form a fast track like the death squads in wartime.
Maybe while they were talking, the Zerg tunnels were approaching Cantero Imperial City.
The principal did not answer Lucius' request directly, but motioned Lucius to follow with his eyes.
The pastor who led the team was the special method used by the chief to control Lucius.
As the head of the Templars, Lucius would never hurt any priest unless he wanted to be wanted by the whole city of the Papal State—even if the other party was in a different position from him.
"Can't you forgive me?" Lucius said in a pleading tone, suddenly remembering a terrible thing.
If he remembers correctly, the rulers of Cantero and Odin will meet in the near future, so...
It is not difficult for Lucius to imagine that once the Zerg's secret passage is dug into the Cantero Palace, what awaits the world will be an unspeakable disaster.
Cantero and Odin, who lost their rulers, will fall into a state of chaos without a leader, and the Zerg can also take this opportunity to catch other countries by surprise.
Not to mention that Cantero and Odin will blame each other, and then pin the blame on the Papal States that facilitated the talks.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Zerg's destination is the Cantero Imperial City, and it is very likely that they will dig under the Cantero Palace." Lucius wanted the chief to understand that he did not have ulterior motives, at least at this moment, he was genuine. Truly thinking about the future of all mankind.
However, the chief didn't care about Lucius' explanation, he just wanted this Lucius to stay where he should be honestly: "Your Excellency, you have to believe in Cantero's strength."
Perhaps thinking of the feud between Cantero and Obstar, the chief's tone also became blunt: "As a half Obstar, you should have some experience with this."
At the end, the principal did not forget to comfort him: "Compared to Wangcheng, which is full of talents, this place needs talents like you more."
Thinking of these old, weak, sick and disabled whose combat effectiveness is approaching zero, the chief's tone became sincere again: "Your Excellency, we need you more."
Lucius hoped that the person standing in front of him was a smart person, but facing the "request" of the chief, he couldn't refuse, so he could only think about finding an opportunity to leave.
……… I am the dividing line………
Mariana has always felt like she is sitting on pins and needles recently, as if someone is watching her every move in the dark, which makes her feel uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Lena noticed that Mariana couldn't concentrate, thinking that she was worried about Abigail's safety: "I don't think the Grand Duchess Aquiquie will embarrass Abigail."
Mariana looked up and saw Mrs. Lena's nonchalant face without any surprise: "You should believe in Abigail's viability in the Grand Duchy of Aquique."
Compared with Abigail's early experience in Cantero, the Grand Duchess of Aquique will never be more terrifying than the adventurers in Cantero.
"I'm not worried about Abigail's situation." After all, the Grand Duchess Aquique is not low enough to embarrass her daughter's subordinates, "I have a bad feeling."
Thinking of the middle things that happened these days, Mariana knew that they would have a decisive battle with the gods. Even the previous evil gods wanted to destroy the human world, and then let the demons occupy the world, using this as a base to launch a war against the gods thought.
It is conceivable that human history has reached the verge of ending.
However, many people on the mainland, including the decision-makers of various countries, are ignorant of this.
Mariana thought about how the gods would end human history.
At the end of the old century, the gods wanted the Zerg to solve the creatures on the ground, and then he would lead the gods to fight against the demon army of the evil god.
As a result, humans and humanoid tribes unexpectedly reached a consensus, crushing the Zerg into the depths of the desert, forcing the gods to stop their plan, gaining the trust of humans and humanoids through a series of performances, and then subtly differentiate them.
Compared with the large number of human beings who have adopted the "correct template", the power of faith that humanoids can provide is minimal, so after the end of the old century, the gods still want humanoids to replace the Zerg and remove humans from the ground .
However, human beings are worthy of being the proud creation of the gods. They are exactly the same as the gods in terms of insidiousness, and they have domesticated the humanoids so that they cannot cause turmoil.
