Lords: From Civilization to the Stars

The northern part of the Siren Sea and the Chaos Sea is generally the range of the Chaos Wasteland and the completely twisted demon tribe. People living in this range can basically not be called human beings, but only demons or demon servants.

Their thoughts and spirits have been corrupted by the magic wind of the Chaos Wasteland, and their behavior and thoughts are more like beasts close to human form than humans.

Although the Norscans have a tradition of self-destruction and the pursuit of noble death, they are still relatively resistant to this state.

The frozen sea at the edge of the Siren Sea is the so-called edge of the human world.

Here, although the figure of the devil occasionally appears, it is not everywhere like the Chaos Wasteland and Chaos Snowfield. Moreover, there will be some fish and berries that can be eaten normally on the land and sea. Although life is difficult, at least you can survive.

As for the area where Leon is located, it should have been called the Broken Land in the past. There are no living people there except a group of Chaos Demons and various pirates.

So it takes three days to sail all the way to the nearest area with traces of civilization.

Even if it was at the highest speed, it would take at least ten days to reach the edge of the frozen sea under normal circumstances. This is enough to highlight how desperate Leon's position is.

By the way, who knows how the Chivalrous Expedition Fleet came.

Maybe someone helped them along the way.

However, Ulfric did not come to the frozen sea to rob the poor buddies of their last fruits this time, but to help them find a good way out. The place where Leon is located, even if the wonder city made of steel is not counted, even the land that has been developed is enough to be called rich in water and grass and rich in products.

Although it is not as good as the southern countries and those areas that specialize in operating magic power, for the poor Norscans, this place is as beautiful as heaven.

Ulfric did not have any resistance to recruiting Norscans to arrive at the place of descent.

But the moment he saw the black smoke of destruction rising from the village, Ulfric had a sudden realization in his heart, or a feeling of connecting all the clues together.

Although he didn't know what his brain understood, Ulfric was very clear that he seemed to understand something.

That is, when it comes to gods, some small things may turn into disasters.

"... Come over."

"Ulfric! Let's send a vanguard to take a look! This situation is very unusual!"

"I say, come over. This may be a punishment."

"Punishment...?"

Under the observer's inexplicable gaze, Ulfric shook his head silently without explaining anything.

The originally joyous atmosphere of the fleet suddenly became suppressed. No one sang and danced anymore, and no one made noise anymore. Under the magical snowflakes in the sky, the fleet silently sailed through the fjord and witnessed the tragic situation of the village at the edge of civilization.

Just as Ulfric said, that was the punishment.

As if the evil gods were venting their anger, a scene that made people feel cold and horrified from the bottom of their hearts appeared in front of everyone.

It was the blood eagle.

A village, 145 people, including 27 young children, 17 elderly people, 35 women, and 6 pregnant women.

These people, together with the adult Norscan laborers, were carved into blood eagles, standing on the edge of the coast, silently watching the returning Norscan dragon ships. The eyeballs frozen by low temperature seemed like glass, reflecting the turbid light and shadow.

Even the baby in the pregnant woman's belly was carefully made into a small blood eagle and inserted under the pregnant woman to show the relationship.

And behind this cruelty, a group of figures that the Norscans once worshipped were jumping in joy in the center of the village. They built a huge bonfire, with scattered human organs hanging on it, screaming to express their respect for the dark gods.

In the center of the bonfire, the grotesque and twisted condor sculpture was emitting the familiar blue light, looking at the Norsca team playfully, as if they were shocked.

"This, this is a divine punishment, Ulfric... This is the consequence of your disrespect for the gods..."

Looking at the horrible and bloody scene in silence, an old and trembling voice came out from the crowd.

Hearing the hoarse voice, Ulfric turned around in surprise and looked at the short figure who came out of the crowd at some point, holding a long staff and trembling all over.

"High priest? When did you get on the ship?"

Looking at the thin and dry body, Ulfric said in surprise.

At the beginning, the high priest fainted when he checked Leon. It seems that because of the severe backlash, everyone put him in another room and didn't take it seriously.

And when he was transferred, the high priest didn't wake up directly. But to be honest, this kind of thing is quite common in Norsca, and everyone didn't take it seriously. After directly arranging the high priest to protect the landing site and leaving two people to report, the Norsemen set off along the coastline.

But now, the high priest's figure appeared here, which made this incident seem a little ambiguous.

He did not choose to stay with Li Ang, but after waking up early, he secretly stayed in the Norska fleet, obviously intending to bypass Li Ang.

"I'm not old enough for you to notice that I'm on board."

The Norscan priest coughed, and his deep eye sockets could not see clearly.

"You have all been deceived by the evil god. Haven't you felt it yet? Your wisdom, your ability, your strength, which one was not given to you by the divine eagle?"

'That seems to be the case...'

‘Yes, doesn’t wisdom and other things belong to the condor? ’

‘Then he can’t be a liar, can he? Haven’t we all experienced this? ’

Seeing the highly respected high priest, many people began to waver.

The high priest looked at the shaken people, raised the corners of his mouth like an eagle, spread his hands like wings, and let out a dry scream.

"You've all been lied to!"

Light blue flames burned in his pupils, and screams echoed along the coast.

"Obviously, this is the wrath of the condor! They gave you wisdom and encouragement in desperate situations, but you were deceived by that vicious god!"

"That despicable incarnation, he must be the evil god of Bretonnia! He deceived you and used his power and language to make you create scars in the world. They just want you, as the people of the Condor, to But serve him blindly!”

"Look! This is the punishment for the condor's disloyalty to us! Haven't you guys woke up yet?"

"..."

The punishment of the condor...

The commotion has begun to spread among the crowd, and changes have begun to appear in the fleet.

Because it was God's punishment, it led to the most miserable and painful death of hundreds of people, and that led to this result.

Looking at the ice-carved blood eagles on the edge of the coast, Ulfric frowned and held his ax. With a creaking sound, veins spread from his palm until his entire arm became The blood surges.

...Blood surges?

Why do I feel a kind of hot blood, a kind of blazing flame burning in my heart?

‘Ulfric. ’

A calm voice sounded in Ulfric's heart.

‘I have mastered the power of the God of Struggle. You don't have to worry about anything, just follow your heart and do things. ’

"..."

Along with those trusting words, a layer of light red light appeared in Ulfric's palm.

It is a weird talisman full of fierce fighting emotions that wants to tear everything apart.

That is the mark of the divine dog, the one who thirsts for blood, the god of struggle.

Looking at the eloquent high priest in front of him, who looked like a double-headed eagle with wings spread, Ulfric closed his eyes and sneered.

"You're lying, priest."
