Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 1464: Past Events and Narration

Seeing the crowned undead walking towards him, Lei Xiao went straight to meet him.

"You are the leader of the Broken Valley Alliance, Guardian King Gary, right?"

Lei Xiao spoke first and extended his hand towards the other party.

Just now, Lei Xiao had obtained some further information about the Broken Valley Alliance from the strange stone elf, including this crown undead.

"You are too polite, Mr. Human. You can just call me Gary."

An old and hoarse voice sounded, and old Gary, wearing a mottled crown, nodded to Lei Xiao. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stretched out his hand.

He was obviously wondering whether, in his current state, he was still qualified to act with the etiquette of a normal strong man.

Lei Xiao's firm and powerful palm has already told him the answer. As long as the light in his heart is not extinguished, even in this state now, he can still face the light.

Feeling the scorching heat from Lei Xiao's palm, Old Gary was stunned at first, and then he held Lei Xiao's hand tightly with his mottled bony palm.

On the other side, feeling the opponent's cold and hard bone palm, Lei Xiao seemed to see a resolute old king wearing a crown and a white beard, his old eyes shining.

By the time the handshake was over, the blood-red glow in Old Gary's empty eye sockets had long since disappeared, replaced by a gentle blue light. He looked at the strange stone elf again and continued, "Youyou, it looks like you succeeded."

"Grandpa! I can finally see you again!"

The stone elf named Youyou was already in tears as he rushed towards Old Gary. The latter hesitated for a moment as to whether he would scare the other party, and finally stretched out his bony palm to touch the former's head affectionately.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. At the beginning, Youyou didn't have time to activate the magic circle before he was surrounded by those evil guys and eventually fell down."

The stone elf's shoulders kept shaking, as if all the resentment and grievances accumulated over thousands of years were vented out at once.

Seeing the scene of the grandfather and grandson meeting, Lei Xiao nodded slightly. It seemed that old Gary was the master of the stone elf.

"It's not your fault. Didn't grandpa also die in their hands?"

Old Gary patted Youyou's shoulder gently and comforted him, "It's the present that's important, not the past."

After that, Old Gary looked at Lei Xiao again. Although he couldn't make any expression, he still stretched his jaw and smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, Your Excellency the Human Race, please forgive me for making fun of you. All my descendants died on the battlefield or suffered the consequences of their own actions. So when I accidentally found Youyou, I treated her like my granddaughter."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao just smiled and nodded, without disturbing the reunion after thousands of years.

"Your Majesty, what on earth is going on?"

Loris walked forward, his lion face, blackened by the war, full of confusion.

It was obvious that the originally fluffy and shiny mane on his neck was tangled, and there was a large area that was burnt, which showed how fierce the battle just now was.

"Could this be the Guardian King Gary, the leader of the Broken Valley Alliance?"

Xina also walked forward, her fair face also full of confusion.

"Yes, that's what happened."

Lei Xiao signaled the two to gather all the main generals and gave a brief description of the whole story.

"So there is such a thing..."

After listening to Lei Xiao's description, not only the main generals were filled with disbelief, but even Loris and Sina opened their mouths in surprise and did not react for a long time.

It has to be said that this was beyond the imagination of everyone present. After such a long time, even though they had been completely destroyed, the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance were still engraved with the mark of revenge, even in such a terrifying undead form.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but look at the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance headed by Old Gary with respect. It was precisely because of their perseverance that we were able to put the weight of victory on the scale.

While they were surprised, everyone's eyes fell on Lei Xiao.

Having said that, if the human king had not discovered this in time and successfully activated those imprints, I am afraid we would still have no choice but to be destroyed.

"Your Majesty, these liches and other undead have been completely wiped out, and our injured warriors have all received proper treatment. What should we do next?"

Xina calmed down and asked Lei Xiao again.

"Of course, we must attack the lich's capital as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the liches and undead from other directions surround us, our situation will still be extremely dangerous."

Lei Xiao nodded to Xina without any hesitation, then came back to Old Gary and said, "Old leader, although we have wiped out the lich here, the opponent's core power still exists. We don't have much time left."

After that, Lei Xiao briefly described the current situation and our situation to the other party again.

"Have those damned liches built a capital city on the ground? They have turned our former home into a dead land with no grass growing."

Old Gary clenched his fists, looked at Sheena and Loris again, nodded slightly and said, "I didn't expect that even the strong men from the Desert Alliance and the Rainforest Fortress Alliance would come."

After hearing what old Gary said, Sina and Loris both smiled awkwardly and greeted the former.

You know, the Broken Valley Alliance was at the top of the third-rate forces back then. In comparison, the newly established Wild Sand Alliance and Rainforest Fortress Alliance were as weak as a baby monster that had just hatched from its shell.

In order to prevent the Broken Valley Alliance from doing anything bad to them, Huangsha and Yulin both reached a friendly agreement with the former on the surface, but secretly they were always on guard against the former and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

When the Broken Valley Alliance was fighting the Lich, Huangsha and Yulin actually had many excellent opportunities to send troops to help the Broken Valley Alliance resolve the crisis. According to the agreement, both sides should indeed send troops.

But until the Broken Valley Alliance was completely devoured by the liches, both parties still chose to stand by and watch, allowing the forbidden arts to spread across the once rich land, and even gloated over it until this war came.

In other words, the reason why the Lich has become increasingly powerful is largely due to the Desert Alliance and the Rainforest Fortress Alliance.

If they had been able to fulfill their promise and choose to stand with the Broken Valley Alliance instead of standing idly by, the Liches would have probably been wiped out long ago. How could things have developed to this point today?

After all, those powerful second-rate forces don't care because the Lich will never take the initiative to provoke them, but they are completely afraid of the power of the Broken Valley Alliance, so they betrayed their trust and caused the current situation.

Thinking of this in their hearts, Sina and Loris's faces became more and more embarrassed.

Back then, even though they were not the decision makers and had not even been born yet, no matter how you think about it, if the two alliances had fulfilled their promise, the Liches would never have been so unscrupulous that they almost destroyed themselves and their entire alliance not long ago.

Sensing the embarrassment of the two, Old Gary just stretched his jaw, as if trying his best to smile, and then used the same honorific title that Xi Na and others had given to Lei Xiao, nodded heavily and said: "Your Majesty, this underground city is independently operated and has no connection points with the ground."

"And given the Lich's temperament, there is no way he would connect his capital to this place."

Old Gary pointed to another passage and continued, "The nearest underground city exit is not far away. Let's return to the ground first."

After that, Old Gary first motioned Lei Xiao and the others to wait for a moment, and then walked in front of the other strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance and said loudly: "Everyone, for today's battle, we have waited too long, and now, His Majesty the Human Race has come with his strong men, as well as the strong men of the Desert Alliance and the Rainforest Fortress Alliance. This is our chance to take revenge!"

"But before that, we would like to thank His Majesty the Human Race for helping Youyou activate the mark on our bodies! This is how we got this dream opportunity!"

After saying that, Old Gary placed his hand bone in front of his ribs and bowed deeply to Lei Xiao.

The other strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance also made the same actions, expressing their gratitude and respect to Lei Xiao.

"You are too polite. It is because of your awakening that we were able to turn the tide of the battle."

Lei Xiao was very calm, nodded slightly and said: "It is our honor to fight side by side with you all."

"No, it is our honor to fight alongside His Majesty! Just the courage to go deep into the heart of the lich alone is enough for us to admire sincerely, because we know how powerful and terrifying the lich is."

Old Gary nodded heavily, then he held the mottled crown on his skull steady and shouted, "Warriors of the Broken Valley Alliance, the time for revenge has come, and this time I will not allow anyone to fall behind!"

After saying that, Old Gary waved his hand, and all the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance were in high spirits. They immediately formed a battle formation and headed towards the nearest passage leading to the ground. Lei Xiao and our other strong men also reorganized their teams and kept up with the opponent's pace.

Everyone went up along the passage. This time, although they did not encounter the previous gravity barrier, they were still stopped by an extremely solid white barrier wall.

At the beginning, everyone wanted to break through by force, but no matter how Old Gary, Loris and others concentrated their firepower, they still couldn't shake it at all.

"Damn it! The enemy must have noticed the failure of the liches just now, so they blocked the entire dungeon!"

After attacking with all his might without success, Loris rubbed his numb and red knuckles and spat fiercely.

"This confinement barrier is probably directly connected to the Lich City. It is strong enough to be regarded as the defense barrier of the main city of a second-rate force, and the energy it uses is precisely the endless black fog miasma."

After inspecting it for a while, Fleming frowned and said, "Unless we can destroy the lich capital on the ground, we can't break it by force."

"But we are already trapped here. How can we destroy the enemy's capital first?"

Xina frowned and looked at Lei Xiao involuntarily again. After experiencing more and more things, the leader of Huangsha seemed to have trusted the latter very much.

"Old man, is there any other way to crack it?"

Lei Xiao gently stroked his chin and asked Fleming again: "For example, your special method to deal with the lich before?"

"Your Majesty, this confinement barrier is indeed based on necromancy. I might be able to give it a try."

After lowering his head and sensing for a while, Fleming nodded and said, "But it will take some time to crack it."

“Just go ahead and do it.”

Seeing that there was no other choice, Lei Xiao affirmed without hesitation: "If there is any need, I will fully support you."

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

Fleming touched his chest and saluted, then immediately started to act, while Lei Xiao directed Joniel and others to set up a soundproof barrier to avoid disturbing the former.

When everything was deployed, Old Gary came over and said, "Your Majesty, I have also ordered my warriors to check other passages. If there is any news, I will inform Your Majesty immediately. Don't worry, we will fight side by side with you to the end this time."

"The old chief's words always reassure people."

Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and while Fleming was breaking the magic circle, he restrained his smile and asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time: "Old leader, forgive me for being blunt, but how did the war between your alliance and the lich happen back then?"

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, the root of everything comes from the desire for strength."

Old Gary lowered his head and began to describe: "It was because of this twisted desire that we finally opened the box of destruction and awakened those terrible and disgusting guys."

"So, it was you who really awakened the lich?"

Loris opened his lion eyes wide and blurted out: "What happened back then?"

"The origin of the matter began when we accidentally discovered an ancient underground ruin from the Silver Moon Era."

Old Gary's aged voice was full of vicissitudes as he continued his description.

Through the other party's narration, Lei Xiao learned that after the ancient ruins were discovered, Old Gary, the leader of Broken Valley, happened to be patrolling nearby. After receiving the news, he directly led his personal guards to join the team exploring the ruins.

"At the beginning, the underground ancient ruins were no different from the other ruins we discovered. They were both filled with an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere, covered with magical vines and magical mosses, and flashing a dim and mysterious light."

"But as I explored deeper, I gradually discovered that something was wrong with that ancient ruins, because the murals engraved on the walls were all extremely cruel and bloody scenes, with sacrifices, practice of forbidden magic, and all kinds of cruel punishments all presented before my eyes one by one."

"What's even more terrifying is that there are many twisted and weird giant sculptures, including skeletons, monsters, and legendary demons..."

After hearing what Old Gary said, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
