23. King and Princess【56/100】
According to legend, the Sun Spirit Rukma gave the essence of his life to the Kali birds in the Alanka Peak Forest, so these birds with bright feathers and courage became crows. Because of this, the crows' breeding method is actually similar to that of birds.
These strange creatures are egg-borne. After being laid by female crows, after a period of hatching, the new Kali bird will break out of its shell.
The problem is that not every young Kali bird will become a crow man when it grows up, which is a chance. Fortunately, in ancient times, the Epixis civilization established by the crow man was vast, and thousands of new crow man appeared every day. Therefore, when Lukma passed away, the crow man had become one of the largest populations in the Drano world.
The Crowman, who inherited the most orthodox bloodline of Rukma, naturally became the bloodline of kings and sacrificials.
Although the social civilization of the Crow people was born around the belief in the Sun Spirit and the Crow Spirit, and the priests also had great power, for a long time, the king and the priests ruled the kingdom of the Crow people. It was not until the great rebellion initiated by Priest Hager 600 years ago that the blood of the Crow people's royal family was completely cut off.
The last king of the Crow Man was named Telok, a powerful warrior who could perfectly control the wind. During his reign, although civilization had entered the dark age, because of his courage and strength, the Crow Man also admired this king very much, and even called him the King of Claws!
The greatest achievement made by King Tyrok was to lead the crows to defeat the coming ferocious tiger men.
It was a legendary story. In the era of King Tyrok, the barbaric tiger nobles invented a cruel "game". They initially only hunted the exiled fallen crows and lost their wings. The fallen crows were no match for the barbaric tigers, but soon, these smart cats were no longer satisfied with these "birds" that could only crawl on the ground.
They hid quietly in the forest. When the crows flew across the ground, they grabbed the crows on the ground with their nets, and then brutally killed them, pulling off the brightest feathers above the crows as decorations of status and strength.
The tiger chief Kalash promoted this cruel game to the extreme. During that time, the high-level crow people did not even dare to leave Tongtian Peak, especially after Kalash arrogantly declared war on the crow people, the entire crow society was filled with panic, and even the noble priest Hagel could not come up with a solution.
At this time, King Tyrok stepped forward!
On a quiet night, under the gaze of the people of the crows who had been scared by the scared clowns on Tongtian Peak, the brave king fell from the sky alone. Without any defense, he set off a storm of killing in the tiger's camp.
The deadly wind blade surrounds Tyrok. Whenever it waves its wing blade, a howling storm will bring the tigers in front of you into it. When the beasts are dizzy, Tyrok King holds the wing blade and cuts off their heads without mercy.
No tiger man dared to stop the killing of the King of Claws. Until the last moment, the blood-stained Tyrok caused an unprecedented storm. It fought with the tiger man chief, the barbaric and powerful Kalash, in the strong wind, and finally cut off the arrogant chief's head with the tiger man's sharp claws.
When Tyrok stood on the dead earth and raised Kalash's bloody head, the entire Tongtian Peak was shouting Tyrok's name. Because of the appearance of the warrior, the courage returned to the body of the crow man again, and the guilty warriors volunteered to follow their king.
In less than two months, they cleared the entire Alanka Peak Forest and drove the Tiger Man out of their kingdom. It was probably the last victory in the afterglow of the Crow Man Kingdom.
King Tyrok won the love and respect of all the people with his actions, and they respected him as the King of Claws, and even regarded him as the incarnation of the Sun Spirit Rukma, which directly caused the fear of the Priest Hagel, because before that, only they had the right to represent the Sun Spirit.
So three months after Tyrok returned to Tongtian Peak, the conspiracy against it began!
The vicious priest Hagel kidnapped Leshi, the only daughter of Tyrok, and declared that she was exiled and that the sacred bloodline belonging to Rukma was extracted. This process was extremely painful.
In the end, the weak and wounded Lexi was pushed directly from Tongtian Peak. She could not fly with her wings. When she fell into the cursed Taroka Valley, Lexi's body was broken and she died in a wail.
The next day, the unprepared Tyrok was treated the same way, but he was stronger than his daughter. After falling to the ground, he still had the strength to fight back. At this moment, he saw his daughter's broken body... The will of the great king was shattered in an instant.
It kneeled in front of its daughter's body and howled in sorrow. The sound shocked the entire Tongtian Peak, and Priest Hager also launched a purge in the city. Any crow man loyal to King Tyrok was thrown into the Curse Pool.
From that time on, the number of fallen crows increased dramatically, and when Tyrok appeared again, it had become a true fallen crow man. It was the first crow man to hear Ansu whisper. It regarded it as a new belief. When the Priest Hagel launched an extermination of the fallen crow man, Tyrok stood up again.
It no longer calls for the storm, but uses the power of shadow to repel the ravens who have lost their glory, gather the panicked fallen ravens, and eventually form a new race.
But the pain of his daughter's death tortures Tarok's soul and eventually makes it crazy. After it loses its mind, the grieving Crow Claw Priests have to seal it in the shadow world where Ansu is located.
Now, when the fallen crows were in danger of life and death, they summoned the king again, hoping that it could lead them to another miraculous counterattack, but unfortunately... this time, they were not facing the weak tiger man or the civil strife of their compatriots.
"The Queen of Claws can't hold on anymore, we have to find a way to help her!"
Iriel raised his head and looked at the confrontation between the father and daughter in the sky. Facing the legendary Tyrok, Lexi was obviously at a disadvantage even though he had the help of death energy. The Death Knight thought about it and waved his hand to call his mount. The quiet and beautiful war horse in heavy armor at midnight. She turned over and said to Sarufal behind her:
"I'll kill the priests who control the Death Crow, Mr. Sarufar, and the battlefield will be handed over to you."
Sarufal did not answer, but nodded, which was enough. The next moment, Eriel led the Death Knights down the hillside, and the necromancers along the way made way. The black knights stabbed into the position like a sharp knife. Under Eriel's leadership, they rushed directly into the position of the Fallen Crow, and for a moment they were overturned.
The advanced death knights have mastered the use of basic death energy. Faced with the dark magic hit by the crows, they only need to support the magic shield and completely ignore it.
The Death Knight marched very fast, and the special treatment of the undead war horse was extremely impactful and there was no fear. Driven by the master's will, even the human wall where the people gathered together could not stop the death knight's charge.
"Bang"
Yiriel's war horse raised its front hooves at midnight and kicked the Crow Claw Guard who was blocking the road directly away. Yiriel took advantage of the opportunity to swing the war hammer. As the energy of death was gathering, a substantial frost storm storm sang around her body. In just a few seconds, the Crow Claw Guards who rushed over were frozen in place.
A cold light flashed in Draeney's eyes. In the howling wind caused by the warhammer, the necks of the four crow claw guards were broken. In the sprinkling of frozen blood, the undead war horses activated again at midnight, carrying the knights to break through the last defense of the crow people in a collision posture. The guards loyal to the crow claw priests had to use their bodies to block the midnight charge.
When the war horse was stopped, Iriel jumped up from the saddle, stepped on the head of the crow man in front of him, and landed in front of the thatched hut where the crow claw priests were hiding. When it landed, Iriel waved his kick and kicked the wooden door in front of him.
"Clang"
The wooden door scattered in the loud bang, and the thatched hut itself shook twice as the fragments of wood chips flew everywhere.
Death Knight Yirel rushed into the room like a berserker. In the spiritual magic circle in front of her, there were more than a dozen stunned crow claw priests standing, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Erel's mouth.
"Samaruo, come out to work!"
"Swish"
"On call, my Iriel."
Samaruo, who had grown up completely, stretched lazily. The next moment, Yiriel's good sister, the faint green vengeful spirit, whistled out of Yiriel's body. She was suspended in the air, and her body still maintained the slenderness and beauty of Draenei's female, but her eyes were blue like wind and snow.
She let out a sharp chirping in the air, and the sharp sound like the friction of glass interrupted the casting of the Crow Claw Priests.
After the roaring, the Delaney Banshee waved her hideous spiritual claws. At the same time as Eriel's charge, she grinned and dragged the soul of a crow claw priest out of her body, and in a moment it was torn into pieces. Eriel, whose body was surrounded by heavy ice and snow, swung the war hammer, and the dark red death energy wrapped around her body. With her dark red eyes, she was like a ghost on the battlefield.
"Bang"
The left arm of the Crow Claw Priest was broken, and as blood splattered, the high-level death knights who finally broke through the crow man's block also rushed into the thatched hut.
A completely unequal massacre has begun, and these death knights have brought unconcealed despair and...death.
At this time, in the forest far away from the battlefield, the battle between Lexi and Tyrok also went to the end.
The forest around the two crows had been flattened by the wind blades flying everywhere, and the ground was full of cuts. The forest had been completely destroyed in the storm, and the clawed queen was covered with wounds. Every time she moved at high speed, she would leave a cold blood stain on the ground, and the dark golden slender winged blade in her hand was also covered with blood.
Obviously, the Queen was not passively beaten, she also achieved something.
Although the soul of the Death Crow Man opposite her is powerful, the fragile body obviously cannot bear the heavy pressure of the soul. After the crazy battle, the body has already shown signs of collapse.
After all, it was the soul of the legendary King Tyrok of the Crow Man, and it was definitely not something that ordinary bodies could bear.
"Why don't you speak? Father!"
"bass"
The figures of Lexi and Teroc intersected, and the ground under their feet plowed out a terrifying gully. Between the gravel, Lexi's left arm was cut off. Between the blood, the sharp-clawed queen looked down at her left arm, and her dead body could not feel too much pain.
She raised her right hand, and on the dark golden wing blade, she was carrying a goued-out eyeball.
Opposite her, the high-level crow man's head was cut off by one third, but it still did not fall down. Perhaps the arrogant soul in his body was unwilling to give in.
"Are you feeling guilty? Are you repent?"
The light in Lexi's eyes became chaotic, and the negative emotions brought by death began to spread in her soul, and hatred and anger were filled with her eyes. She took a step forward, waved her wing blade and screamed:
"A king who can't even protect his daughter! You coward! coward!"
"boom"
In the angriest roar of Reich, a storm that was storm entangled her body, and with her severely injured body, it collided with the silent crow man in front of her. The latter also aroused the strong wind and rushed towards his daughter without giving in.
This is the last blow...
"Come on, come on! Kill me and end my pain and torture!"
The madness in Lexi's eyes had shone to the extreme. The only eye left on the Crow Man opposite her was full of calmness and indifference. Until the moment the storm collided, the eyes suddenly changed. At the moment when the Crow Claw Priest who manipulated its soul died, the enslaved soul of Tyrok was free.
The wing blade that was originally precisely slashing at Lexi's neck was also thrown to the ground by him at this moment.
"puff"
Lexi's figure appeared behind her, behind her, the storm was disappearing, and a red blood mark appeared on the neck of the Death Crow Man. After a moment, his head fell to the ground with the incision.
At the moment when his body collapsed, a soul that was 8 points similar to Lexi stood up from the fallen body. His eyes were full of pride and regret. When Lexi turned around, the soul that had lost its carrier and gradually disappeared in the dark storm showed her a warm smile in memory.
"My Lexi, I am an unqualified father, and you are always my pride..."
Tayrok's soul dissipated in the dawn of Alanka like a yarn. He stretched out his hands to hold Lexi in his arms, but in the end it could not complete the action. Under the manipulation of only the remaining reason, the light spot of the soul penetrated into Lexi's body, as if it had never existed.
"My love...I will always be with you."
"Don't be defeated by the darkness, dawn will always come, spread your beautiful wings."
"Raise your proud head."
“Towards the sun.”
