Chapter 289 6.37 The Destruction of the Blood Pigeon Clan (3)
As a high-sequence Holy Bishop, Archbishop Jerome's premonition is quite accurate.
Just as the monsters frequently landed on the "Yinyuyuan" last winter, after Loki ignited the methane in Leviathan and blew up the giant beast, not all the monsters living in Night City died in the sea.
Some ancient monsters with extremely tenacious vitality dug a flesh and blood tunnel with difficulty, dived into the sea, and escaped. All the way away from the cold Far North Sea, the first continent they saw on their way was the Scandinavian Peninsula.
Because of this, the frozen coast of the Conqueror's Fortress is often broken.
Those are the footprints left by the giant beast from under the sea and into the Tianduan Mountains.
**
Not only the ancient monsters who escaped from the remains of Leviathan, but all the residents in Fengxi Fortress heard the footsteps of the heavy giant on the night of Loki's return.
Although the first wave of hunters who entered the God Realm to hunt kept their mouths shut about the return of the frost giants, the residents of the river valley could not help but hear some clues from the hunters' conversations.
Jerome's judgment about the mysterious appearance of unknown monsters near the river valley was correct. In the vast and uninhabited Tianduan Mountains, alien monsters are indeed active here.
But Mr. Hummel's troops were not injured by these monsters.
The culprit who killed them was less than two meters in front of him.
That was Sophie Starrag, who kept yawning early in the morning.
The 500 private soldiers and 2,000 free knights under Mr. Hummel were certainly not killed by the monsters that escaped from Night City.
After all, the entire Scandinavian Peninsula covers an area of nearly 750,000 square kilometers. There are only less than 200,000 Vikings living in such a vast territory.
In the vast mountains and uninhabited wilderness, let alone thousands of monsters, even if all the ancient monsters in "Night City" escaped and expanded 10 times, they would be nothing more than a few grains of sand in the sea.
It was Nefertiti and her seven "Anubis Warriors" who really killed the attackers in Blood Pigeon Town.
In the joint invasion of the Slavs and the English, Duke Bernard ambushed 500 shield-axe warriors in Fengxi Castle on the outskirts of Hanshui Village, trying to kill all the 1,500 English navy who landed. However, he never expected that what he was waiting for was the Jindan-stage sword cultivators under the command of "Qinghe Zhenren".
Two sword cultivators controlled the flying swords and slaughtered 500 shield-axe warriors in 3 minutes like mowing the grass.
No one escaped, no one survived, and no one even cried.
When they saw the sword light flying towards them, their lives had come to the last moment.
Kill the sword cultivators, and the "Anubis Warriors" made of their bodies are not much weaker than these sword cultivators in terms of combat power.
This group of slender undead monsters belong to "physical and magic dual-system proficiency". In close combat, they can wield scimitars and scepters to fight close to each other, and at medium and long distances, they can also spray out all-pervasive corrupted flying insects from their mouths.
What's more, they have an additional invincible skill.
These powerful warriors forged from corpses are immortal.
Unless they are chopped down and set on fire, they can continuously absorb the essence and blood of the living to restore themselves.
After returning to Storm's End from Asgard, when he heard Jerome report that more than 20 people in the castle had disappeared inexplicably. Loki immediately understood that this must be the work of Nefertiti.
After a detailed conversation with the female pharaoh, he couldn't help but be surprised at the decisiveness of this thousand-year-old zongzi when faced with things. This is indeed a powerful ruler who has ruled over thousands of miles of territory and even brought foreign gods under his command.
Her judgment of danger is extremely accurate.
The "Zoroastrianism" intelligence dealers hiding underground were eliminated by her with thunder and lightning, with no harm. What's more, she also killed the lizard man Gures who escaped from the top of the holy mountain and got all his research results drawn on papyrus.
Before leaving, he found the female pharaoh and solemnly assigned her the task of defending the rear.
"After I lead the troops to the battle, if those English yellow-haired men are not fools, they will probably divide their forces to harass my rear, which means they will send troops to raid Storm's End, Fog Duck Town and Cold Water Village in the 'River Valley'."
"The invading enemy may be the English, or it may be the Huns, Slavs, or Visigothic mercenaries. Don't look at the fact that Meherantine lives in Storm's End now. For the O'Sullivan family, she is no longer useful.
If his brother is the kind of person I imagined, I would not be surprised if the English joined forces with the Sabertooth mercenaries to attack the River Valley."
"You lead your mummies and Anubis warriors to help me defend the rear. As long as you hold on until I successfully conquer a piece of land and Sophie comes of age, I will definitely help you find the 'City of the Dead' Thebes and take back your sleeping body."
After the two shook hands and swore an oath, all the Viking warriors entered the Sunken City.
However, Jerome, the acting Duke of Storm's End, did not know all this. It's not that Loki doesn't trust him, but this pious old monk has too much "holy light" in his heart. His life creed is either black or white, and he can't tolerate too much gray.
Jerome made a judgment based on his own judgment of the situation, but the result of this judgment was not in line with Nefertiti's wishes.

"Big sister, what are we going to do?"
When night fell again, Sophie, who had finally finished her homework, found Nefertiti emerging from her sea of consciousness. But today, her face was solemn, and she was obviously ready to fight.
"Come on, little sister, let's save your friends today."
"Wow! Really?"
The 7-year-old girl could not hide her excitement. Because this morning, when Master Jerome was judging Hummel's blood pigeons, Sophie saw her favorite 'Siren' Gelin, and her father's friend 'Blind Mountain Blood Pigeon' who was also in the judging team. among.
These are two brothers and sisters who are very good to them. In the past, every time they entered the castle, their father would arrange the best rooms for them and bring out the best wine that he could not bear to drink.
This is the elder Sophie has been closest to as a relative since she followed this father.
And now, just one year later, they appeared in front of him again and were imprisoned in a dungeon.
"Little sister, I am not a good teacher. I have to admit that I made a mistake."
"Last night, I should have let you see with your own eyes what they looked like when they were preparing to attack Storm's End, but I didn't expect them to be so vulnerable."
"After the patrolling Anubis warriors discovered their presence, they massacred them all! 2,500 lives were lost and they didn't survive until dawn!
However, as long as they are still alive, it is not too late.
Today, I will show you the true face of this group of ‘friends’! "
"No." Sophie said firmly. Even though she was only 7 years old, a girl who grew up quickly still had the ability to distinguish right from wrong. "Brother Blind Mountain is not that kind of person, and Sister Gelin is neither."
"They are my dad's best friends, how could they attack our city?"
"hehe"
"When equal status exists, everyone is a friend."
"Don't forget, your father is now a Duke, and he has three provinces under his command! His strength can even rival the Viking King!
Who wouldn’t be greedy or jealous of such a sweet piece of fat? "
"What's more, as long as Loki exists, the bastards in Blood Pigeon Town will have to bear the status of 'deserters' for a day. Even in a wilderness, this is a label that will ruin a person's life."
"It's useless to talk more. Why don't I release them tonight?"
"At that time, look at what they look like, little sister, you will understand everything! I know this may be too cruel for a 7-year-old child, but there are several princesses in the Imperial Family. To have a happy childhood.”
"You may hate me, but at the same time
You will remember today’s lesson forever! "
