Chapter 1445: Chapter 495: Red Flare

“Hah!!!”

Only to hear Sword Saint Terrio let out a furious roar!

The sound wave containing the special will of the Sword Saint rippled out from Terrio, rapidly spreading and instantly causing the surrounding mist to swirl and stir.

When the sound wave reached the elite soldiers, whose eyes had turned white, they suddenly awoke as if from a deep sleep, returning to their senses one by one.

They checked their bodies and surroundings with a horrified look, but years of training quickly had them draw weapons and reassemble into formation within their ranks.

However, whispers were inevitable.

“What’s going on?”

“Why am I here?”

“Yes, just now I clearly…”

From these soldiers’ conversations, Rein immediately judged that this voice seemed to have the effect of confusing one’s mind and dragging their consciousness into some sort of illusion.

As for why he, Terrio, and Hernandez weren’t affected, it was likely due to the fact that both the Dawn Wizard and the Sword Saint had strong resistance to such abnormal mental states.

However, Rein wouldn’t take this lightly!

Because the continuous whispering made it hard to say whether it might eventually affect the three of them.

If this change was subtle, in the current environment, it might be hard to detect as time went on.

“Your Majesty Hernandez, I think we should block that voice’s influence on the soldiers,” Rein turned to Hernandez, who was beside him.

Hernandez nodded, he too had noticed that after Terrio’s roar ended, which contained special will, these elite soldiers began to show unnatural changes under the influence of that eerie whispering.

“You all pay attention, I will cast a Silence Spell on you. At that time, you won’t hear any sound, nor will you be able to make any sound.”

As soon as the words fell, Hernandez began casting immediately.

“Silence Spell!”

Hernandez’s lips moved swiftly as he raised his hand towards the soldiers at the rear, casting a witchcraft.

Immediately, the soldiers looked surprised and delighted.

Because they realized they could no longer hear the whispering that affected their minds.

Although they couldn’t make any sounds either, this wasn’t a problem for them.

And at this moment, Rein, along with Sword Saint Terrio, focused most of their attention ahead.

The ’clack’ sound grew clearer and more concentrated.

Suddenly, ten meters away in the mist emerged many shadowy figures more than three meters tall, but these tall figures looked more like some kind of animal rather than humans.

“Swish!”

Seeing that the figures were enemies, Terrio’s wrist flicked, instantly sending out over ten sharp silver sword lights from multiple angles forward.

“Sssh! Sssh!”

The sword light sliced through some objects.

“Boom! Clang!”

A series of heavy objects fell to the ground.

“Mechanical Land Bird?”

The elite soldiers behind then saw clearly that the clattering sound came from the creations of the Ancient Goblin Empire, Mechanical Land Birds.

“Strange, logically, the Goblin Empire existed thousands of years ago, how could there be an operating Mechanical Land Bird patrol?” Hernandez muttered.

Rein had the same questions as Hernandez.

If these Mechanical Land Birds had been stored in some closed warehouse, working normally, it would be relatively reasonable.

But to have operated like this for thousands of years…

This thought was quite eerie!

Even giant dragons rarely live this long, let alone these goblins…

Right, the goblins!

Focusing on the goblin operators, even Rein’s pupils contracted suddenly!

Because he saw the goblins that had been chopped into pieces, with their skin shriveled, looking like corpses.

It was hard to imagine these things controlling the Mechanical Land Birds moments ago.

If these things were the controllers, it explained why the Mechanical Land Birds could patrol for thousands of years.

Yet another problem arose: were these goblin corpses responsible for maintaining the equipment as well?

Can ordinary zombies retain their consciousness from when they were alive?

Rein frowned slightly.

“Zombies?!”

“Undead creatures?” Sword Saint Terrio frowned, turning to ask Hernandez.

“It doesn’t seem to be the typical zombies; if these goblin corpses were transformed into undead zombies, they shouldn’t be able to control Mechanical Land Birds,” Hernandez said, solemn-faced.

“Which means the dead body might be a facade.” Rein nodded upon hearing this, stepping forward to examine closely.

The hardened Essence Gold in his hand quickly morphed into a knight’s longsword, stirring up the fragmented remnants on the ground.

Suddenly!

A small black insect emerged from the side of a goblin’s shriveled head, specifically from the ear, moving at high speed.

“Huh?”

And most crucially, the small black insect jumped, attempting to leap towards Rein’s face along the knight’s longsword.

“Ssst!”

Silver sword light flashed; the small black insect was sliced in mid-air.

Yet eerily, the black insect didn’t fall to the ground but transformed into a wisp of black smoke and dispersed into thin air.

If anything remained, perhaps only some nearly imperceptible black dust.

And now, black insects from other goblin corpses began to crawl out, rustling.
