Chapter 1628: Big changes (6)

There were four beds in the room. Three of them were empty. The beds were scorched, and half-burnt sheets were scattered beside them. There were traces of fire on the walls on the ground, sparks still lit up on the scorched walls, and nearby windows were broken, as if someone had gotten out of the room.

There is still a man lying on the last bed. He is raising blue smoke all over his body. Originally, the skin of a febrile patient was only red. Now his skin is dark red, and patches of erythema are growing all over his body. Red spots and sparks flickered, and the man's hair suddenly burned. He yelled, holding his head, and fell off the bed.

"Help me!" He stretched out his hand in the direction of the door, and flames spurted out of his eyes.

"What's going on." Ho Yi slid over, reached out his hand to touch the man's shoulder, and then retracted like lightning. He only felt that he had touched a burning stone, not a person's shoulder.

At this moment, the man fell down and went back, bursting into flames from his chest. Huo Yilian stepped back and looked helplessly at the man who had already burnt. In the flames, the man's limbs gradually changed shape. His face bulged forward, with curved corners sticking out on both sides of his forehead. The arms swell, and the feet grow into articulated feet like cloven hoofed animals. In front of Hoy’s face, the man transformed into a monster in the flames, and the flames gradually disappeared. The monster raised his head, roared at Hoy, then turned around and threw at the window, and then went out through the broken window. .

The housekeeper trembled: "My lord, the three of them were like this before. They all became monsters. My lord, how could this be?"

Ho Yi couldn't answer this question either.

There were screams of exclamation in the gun city, and the patients with fever constantly turned into monsters. Not only was this in Gun City, but also in King Pingxi’s camp, monsters continued to rush out. In fact, this situation is happening throughout the empire.

However, the territory belonging to Allen was unexpectedly calm. I don't know if it was a fluke or some other reason. The blood cloud that night did not pass through Allen's territory, but the news of abnormal monsters appearing in various parts of the empire still caused considerable impact on this territory. The cities and towns in the territory are panicking, and some towns have even been looting food. Edward quickly issued a ban, strictly forbidding merchants to take the opportunity to drive up prices, and at the same time open the granary so that residents can buy as much as they want. Through a series of measures, two days later, the phenomenon of food purchases ceased, and the citizens were considered restless.

Edward is standing in front of a wall in the lord's mansion of Bauhinia City. There are several portraits on the wall, all of which look like the febrile patients turned into monsters, and they are reproduced through the painter's pen. At this time, someone came in one after another, but it was Lola and King Hiron.

Turning around, Edward glanced at Hillon. The appearance of this king is no different from that of a human warrior. His whole body is covered in hideous black heavy armor, but his breath is inhuman. At least Edward had never seen any human being with such a blazing aura like lava. Edward even smelled the faint smell of sulfur in the air, so he sniffed, trying to make his tone sound as calm as possible: "The two are here."

Laura nodded and said, "Hiron is the commander of the Burning Legion. If you want to ask any questions about that Legion, I think he can answer you."

Edward nodded and stepped back a little so that Lola and the two could see the picture on the wall. He said: "In the last few days, a large number of patients with fever have appeared in the Empire. Just two days ago, these patients suddenly changed. They became these monsters on the portraits. When I saw these portraits , I am puzzled. These monsters seem to be very similar to the army brought by Master Ellen, so I asked Miss Laura to find you, Lord Hiron, I hope you can see if my guess is correct."

Hiron stepped forward, the flames flickering in the helmet, Edward felt a scorching gaze scanning the painting on the wall, and then heard Hiron said in a deep voice: "Yes, these are indeed very similar to our soldiers, although they are slightly different. , But there should be errors in the reporting, but on the whole, these things are the soldiers of our army."

Laura was surprised: "Could it be that Mitinas has produced a new army recently?"

"It's impossible, Lord Mitinas hasn't made any moves in this area recently. Moreover, our soldiers are definitely not born from human mutations." Xilong denied.

"That's weird." Laura frowned: "In this case, only Alan may know the reason."

"Master Ellen went to Sardinia and went to the Blood King Cemetery to join His Royal Highness. I'm afraid he won't be back in a short time." Edward said: "As for those abnormal monsters, they disappeared into humans after they left the town. In my ears, but I don’t think they will really disappear, it looks more like some kind of secret collection. Maybe in the near future, they will make a comebackMaster Hiron, can I please you, Please protect this territory from you and your army." Edward said solemnly.

Hillon said without hesitation: "This is my duty. We are the army of His Royal Highness Allen, and we should protect his territory."

Edward nodded: "I hope the young master will come back soon."

According to the information collected by the intelligence agencies set up by the empire, all patients with fevers quickly left the town after they turned into monsters. No one knows where these monsters went. Both the empire and the eastern armies sent people to investigate, but all the people sent out ended up like oxen and lost news. After several times, people on both sides did not dare to send people to investigate.

The patients of this change accounted for about 40% of the total population of the empire, and nearly half of the changed soldiers in the Panlong Empire, according to incomplete statistics from intelligence agencies. In just one day, an army of nearly one million monsters appeared, which is an extremely terrifying number. Whether for the Empire or the Panlong Army, this monster army is a huge threat.

In the southern border of the empire, there is a virgin forest called "Irinaar". At that time, the first brother Allen met, "Segris", landed in this forest. This virgin forest is full of various dangerous creatures. Today, even if it is the most powerful life in the forest, Also fled this forest far away. If someone looks down from the sky now, they will see a large area of ​​charred ground in the center of the forest. Hundreds of stoves are placed on the charred ground, and countless trees have been cut down and dragged into the stove for burning. Then from the other side of the furnace, there was fiery red lava flowing out. No one knew what was in the furnace. They were like volcanic craters continuously producing hot lava.

And those workers who cut and drag trees are millions of monsters that disappeared from the empire in one day!
