Cthulhu Gonfalons
Chapter 24
“Your Majesty, what have you done to scare these thugs to death ?! Especially the leader, who made a terrible cry when he died. ”
Gerrard cleaned the bracelet with leaves, and looked at the corpses of Orcs lying in disarray, along with “Bloody Hands” Ruhr. Ruhr's face was now twisted, and***** and urine was flowing down his pants. Even if he was already dead, he was still too disgusting to make others want to be close. Seeing this, Gerrard not only felt a little disgusted, but was also quite curious.
“Actually, I don't know either. I just tapped it gently, and that's it, ” Sui Xiong said, pointing at Ruhr's body. “As for the others, I didn't even touch them. God knows how they died. ”
“Oh I know; they are all frightened to death, and when they die, their souls also go crazy, and become ghosts, ” Gerrard said. He pointed at the black air that was wriggling under the shadow of a tree in the distance. Inside the dark air, they could vaguely see many crazy figures, crying and laughing.
Gerrard curiously listened and heard the sound of a crazy laugh. His heart suddenly shrank. He immediately stopped listening and chose a topic to distract her.
“Your Majesty, I count now, and there are only 30 corpses. But there were 35 or 36 of them yesterday. How are we going to deal with the others? Do I need to chase and hunt them? ”
“No hassle,” Sui Xiong laughs. “Cutting a lazy person is a justified thing to do. If they managed to escape, then it was good for them. But it was not easy to do; they should not consider themselves safe if they managed to escape. As for those who had escaped, they could not help but leave and would soon return to face their maker. Let's just wait here. ”
Gerrard's dazed. After handing the bracelet to Ruhr, he returned, chatted with Sui Xiong for a bit, and ate two servings of grilled meat. But in that short amount of time, twenty Orc bandits had been killed, and he had not even heard of the battle or seen any traces of battle or blood. Even those who escaped could not survive. How incredible is the incredible power of this God!
Really, there was only one person who ran away.
In the forest, there was a figure running as fast as the wind, and panting like a cow.
This figure is the Orc and Wolf Cavalry Shaman, called ‘akuntan’, Burke. He's number two after Ruhr, and the butler.
He was the oldest among the members of the Orc Cavalry and the Wolf. He is also very quiet, reserved, indifferent, and easily ignored by others. Usually, he would stand next to the Ruhr when there was a need to appraise some specific object other than cash, to calculate the cost of a particular war, as well as profits. Finally, the Ruhr will decide how to divide the spoils of war.
Burke never asked for the spoils of war, nor spoke to anyone but the Ruhr, other than when he served as an accountant and had to speak to others. But other than that, he had never spoken to anyone, even when he was caring for wounded or fighting bandits. But now, he was frightened, and his lips trembled. His teeth were grinding while he ran like a madman.
Previously, Burke sat in a safe place as usual, and stared at the Ruhr. Ruhr was an Orc he brought with him from a tribe, which quickly grew into a powerful Orc, and its own leader. He had managed to extort a rare precious object from an inexperienced, pure and kind-hearted giant with a formidable and cunning ultimatum.
To him, this was a glorious victory that was praiseworthy. The god who cast out the ferocious beasts (Healing God and Orc scheme) would also feel good about this, as he would rather obtain the spoils of war by intimidating and deceiving rather than just using force.
As a Shaman who believed in the God of Healing and Scheme among Orcs, Burke did not say much, as he preferred to think and pray quietly. He made every effort to plan and pray.
In his view, the way Ruhr usually got the spoils of war was too harsh and direct, and lacked the pure beauty of violence. This time, he thought the way Ruhr got the bracelet was still a bit rough, but it was completely different from what he did before.
However, his happiness only lasted for a few seconds.
When Ruhr placed the bracelet on her neck, she saw clearly that a ray of bluish-white light appeared, and became a strange shape that she had never seen. He felt suffocated and depressed. This feeling was indescribable, and made him feel like his heart had been shattered into pieces for a moment.
The other orcs were extremely frightened, and acted as if their souls had left their bodies. They started crying and ran in all directions. But they immediately pressed their chests and fell down one by one. Burke managed to stay calm with his strong mind after years of practice.
In fact, his ability to remain calm was not a good thing for him; he clearly saw the reaching tentacles of the strange creature. It patted the Ruhr gently, and the ruthless Ruhr was crushed by extreme terror. Initially, the Ruhr struggled to remain calm. Then he broke down mentally and could not counterattack again. He was forced to die by that incredible energy. This process takes only a few seconds.
My god! What really lives inside that bracelet!
At that moment, the only thing he could do was kneel down, take out the holy emblem, and begin to pray.
“God who cast out the beast, please bless my soul, and make me think calmly, and be free from this terror and madness.”
As usual, an incredible force quickly struck him, and became air as cold as the winter wind. It entered his body, and Burke's mind was clear again. He maintained his composure and escaped terror. Then he fled without hesitation.
He did not drive a wolf, because all the wolves had already escaped and disappeared. Earlier, they ran as if they were being chased by the scariest battleships, and Burke thought they would not stop running until they were dead.
In fact, he thought what he was doing now was the same as what those wolves had done before: running, running as fast as possible to the furthest place that could be reached.
He didn't know what the bracelet was, but there was one thing he could be sure of. The bracelet was far more mysterious and powerful than he had ever thought.
The cavalry of the Orcs and Wolves were destroyed, just like the Ruhr. What he could do now was save himself. But even in this case, he wasn't sure if he could succeed. The spell he practiced earlier could not last long. If he could not get out of the range of that strange bracelet spell, he would definitely die!
Burke tried his hardest to run without thinking about what horrors he would face later. He only thought of one thing, and it went faster and further!
What was that? What's that thing that came out of that bracelet?
It was incredible that he could still think when he ran so fast.
Strong ... outstanding .. outstanding …
Suddenly, his eyeballs shrank, cries came out from his dry throat, and his muscles instantly stiffened.
His cheeks began to shake and his teeth began to chatter, as if a huge snake was surrounding him. He could not even stand up steadily, as his legs became limp. He leaned against the tree next to him so that he did not fall on the ground.
That ... it .. it is a God!
Burke, a man who had always been calm, finally screamed in fear, and his body began to tremble as if he was suffering from cold and fever.
I have to run! I have to run fast! The further I run the better! I had to run from four villages in the northwest and Badlands, and run inland. I will never stop running! If I'm not in a hurry, maybe he'll find me soon!
Maybe he's on his way!
Thinking of this, the Orc Shaman feather stood up. Although it was quite warm and she was wearing very comfortable clothes, she felt very cold. He could not help the cold, as it came from his heart. He felt as if he was standing naked in an ice field in winter, and would freeze in the next second.
Run on! Run on! Run fast!
But he could not stand.his feet were trembling and out of control. He struggled to stand up many times, and finally managed to do so.
This is not working! I can't run like this. I have to use the energy of
He knelt down – which is not a difficult thing to do – and took out the sacred emblem with his trembling hands and began to pray.
This time, however, he did not get a reply.
The god that the Orcs believed in was cruel and brutal. Thus, the prayer of a coward will not get the answer.
Fortunately, Burke kept other magical objects. When he discovered that he did not get a reply, he immediately took out a scroll with a golden line around it. He opened it without hesitation and suppressed it with his magic, and managed to activate the marble on it.
The expensive scrolls started burning and became a golden halo. Hello then fell on him. Burke immediately regained his strength. Previously he had been so frightened that his mind had turned into a mess, but now he had become brave again.
Then the Shaman, the evil backstage manipulator, kept running. He ran so fast that he tripped on a stump or rock along the way and fell on the ground heavily. Then he hurriedly got up and continued running without daring to return, as if something was chasing him.
No, he did feel that something was chasing him. And that thing was huge, powerful, and terrifying …
Soon, the spell was no longer effective; terror was crawling his mind again.
He'll be arrested. Ha ha; a man can never run from God. The reason he had managed to run this far was because Sui Xiong wanted to chew on his terror slowly, and watch his futile struggle, so that he could have fun.
What will happen to him next? Will he be a rock and live deep in the woods where no one has ever set foot, and spend his long life, alone, and seeing nothing but darkness?
Or perhaps he will be banished to purgatory, where the guilty are punished, and suffer. There, he desperately wanted to die, unable to endure the pain anymore, but he might not even be able to die. He must wait until God shows his grace.
Perhaps his body, and even his soul, would be completely destroyed, and become a magic item material. Was his crying face left on a knife or an axe?
Burke gasped for air, because he was so scared. His body had reached its limit. He did not stop running, even when there was white foam coming out of his nose and mouth. Immediately, he almost lost sight, and started walking unsteadily. His facial expression became lifeless.
Now he could not see his surroundings or hear any sounds. He was still running, but it was getting slower. Finally, he could not run anymore, and fell to the ground.
He still wants to try. He struggled and managed to crawl a few steps, then laughed out loud.
“He has come! He came to punish me! ”
This was the last sentence the old thug said. He, who had committed so many crimes in so many places; from the Northern Wasteland, to the four villages in the northwest. He also helped form a bandit group that had committed all acts of evil, and left behind many frightening records.
Finally, in his fear, exhaustion, despair, and madness, the last breath left his body.
When his soul rose, it was captured by an invisible force, and was thrown into the black air within a short distance.
Inside the black air, there were already many crazy souls crying and laughing.
“See? The last bandit was also caught, ” Sui Xiong told Gerrard, who was completely stunned.
The sun is rising. Looking down, one could see that the place was ‘accountant; burke ran in a perfect circle.
He starts from the opening, and ends at the opening. Big circle.
