Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 977: Blue Artifact

Outside the Imperial City, on the plains.

The Saint Light Hall Army demonstrated what was an army and what was efficient.

They built their camp in a short time. The moats and obstructions the Posthumous people prepared were like child’s play to them.

Outside the mountain range, some Saint Light Hall forces were clearing out the Posthumous people who had been notified and escaped. But these people had missed their chance. They didn’t manage to enter the city to get protected and even bumped into the enemy’s main force.

Once that was done, all the logistics bases would gather to build the only base.

Once all of these were done, the Sint Light Hall army didn’t attack immediately.

They weren’t in a rush. To them, it was just a few more days.

At the center of the entire camp were the three heads of Saint Light Hall. They were in a meeting with the commanders of the other forces. Although they were confident of victory, they were still cautious as they faced the Imperial City that their ancestors hadn’t managed to take down.

Moreover, the attacks from that mysterious squad had left them trauma. The three commanders had to treat this seriously.

They were here to wipe out the Posthumous people and weren’t here for a tough victory.
The Light Cavalry Squad’s commander, Nan Jin, distributed missions. He was also the commander of the first attack and in charge of the start.

He said a few words when he heard a low horn. The people in the tent stopped and looked toward the Imperial City.

“Welcome horn.”

Zaili understood many things about the Posthumous people and immediately said the name of the horn.

He continued, “It will only be blown on two occasions: when a new king is appointed or when he dies.”

“This difference is that the coronation would have 98 pairs, and the funeral will have 100.”

Some people who were slightly weaker and without such sharp senses couldn’t tell how many pairs there were, but Zaili could: “98 pairs, so there is a new king.”

Rongzhi laughed, “The kings outside were all killed by us, and I heard that there were some internal problems. Flame Dove was killed. There should only be four kings inside now?”

“They got a new king now? It is probably to add to the numbers.”

The others looked at each other with disdain. Two of the strongest Posthumous people kings were dead, and their overall levels were weaker than Saint Light Hallʼs. The new king should be level seven at most and wouldn’t be of much help.

“Why not let’s have a bet to see who can kill this new king.” A guy in black armor smiled. His team would join the first wave, and he said that he planned to contribute the most.

“Let’s bet then. This new king wouldn’t be the first on the battlefield. Shang Lie, you might have miscalculated.”

Everyone laughed, and their laughter was filled with disdain for this new king.

But at that moment, the dark mountains lit up. A terrifying energy exploded from the Imperial City.

The three commanders charged out of the tent and raised their heads. They saw a thick, light pillar surging from the depths of the imperial city. It reached the top of the mountain and charged into the mountains without any obstruction.

Light Saint Hall didn’t know if the pillar of light broke through the mountain, but the people they left outside the mountain range did see a pillar of light shoot into the clouds. The entire sky lit up, and even the mist above parted.

When they saw the light, the Saint Light Hall warriors and even the beasts showed fear. Some lower-level ones even fell to the ground and shivered.

On the side of the undead hill closer to the Night Demon plains, a woman sitting on a bone throne and looking at two bone armies fighting raised her head. Although she was far away, she could still see the light.

“That… That is…”

Red Hair gave a silent roar. A third of the skeleton army exploded while her skeletons pounced at those remaining.

Looking at the situation, Red Hair knew that she had to return.

…………………………………………………………………………

The Cursed Abyss was busy. Two beast kings fought for territory, and their subordinates killed each other.

Many lifeforms were waiting for their chance. These corpses would be a good source of food. There wasn’t much of an opportunity to get such a complete meal in a place like the Cursed Abyss.

But the dark sky suddenly lit up. The cloud above paused slightly.

They had sharp senses, so they naturally picked up the changes in nature. The battle stopped instantly. These strong lifeforms looked into the sky and hesitated before retreating into their caves.

They wanted to hide.

In the depths of the abyss, in the darkness, was a pair of eyes that were like two lamps.

“Hu… Sha… Is it it?”

The voice was hoarse, and it wasn’t like a human.

Its body moved in the darkness like it was stretching. The entire abyss shook. The birds and beasts all fled and even left their homes.

The entire Night Demon Plains became slightly more quiet.

………………………………………………………………………………

In the Imperial City, under the Saint Pool.

The three-legged man raised his head and looked at the poolʼs base. He could see the pillar of light, and shock appeared on his face.

“Who could activate that thing? Did someone obtain its legacy? Or… Something from that side came?”

This was the first time the three-legged man had a bad feeling.
