Chapter 2 (2/2)

This was a place that even the gods were forbidden to come to. It was said that there were the corpses of gods lying inside, forming a terrifying curse. The legend of this place had been passed down for millions of years.

“No, we can’t go around it.” Li Yu immediately rejected the suggestion from the knights’ captain.

“The Kingdom of Fire’s pursuers were very close to us previously. Right now, their two wings are speeding up their pursuit. However, the central army has slowed down its speed. If we go around it, we will be caught alive and then sent to the Kingdom of Fire to be executed. If we go forward, we might be in a desperate situation, and there might be a sliver of hope. At this point, it’s impossible for them to spare our lives.”

“Even if I die, I have to die in the forbidden land. If I drag a few of them with me, I’ll die. The world props of the Bauhinia Kingdom aren’t that easy to obtain.”

Speaking of the Kingdom of Fire, Li Yu’s expression was malevolent. It was obvious that he was extremely hateful in his heart.

The Bauhinia Kingdom and the Kingdom of Fire were mortal enemies. This time, the Bauhinia Kingdom had been plotted against and the capital had been destroyed. Li Yu’s father had been beheaded by the general of the Kingdom of Fire, and he had been sent directly to the capital of the Kingdom of Fire to take credit.

On the other hand, he was desperately escorted by the Knights. Four thousand knights had escaped to this place, and only a few hundred people were left.

The leader of the Knights was a little hesitant. “But isn’t this what they wanted?”

Li Yu shook his head with a bitter expression. “We have no other way. Moreover, the legend of the Forbidden Land of Gods was so long ago. Perhaps the power of the curse inside has dissipated and is no longer as terrifying as the rumors say. We have to speed up and try our luck. It’s just that we’ve implicated you all in taking the risk with me.”

The members of the Knights fell silent. The situation was now very obvious.

They could either walk towards the forbidden land of gods and try their luck. Perhaps there was a chance of survival, but there was no chance of survival if they took a detour.

The leader of the Knights lowered his head and pressed his sword with one hand. “I swear to follow His Highness the Prince to the death!”

“I swear to follow His Highness the Prince to the death!”

The remaining knights shouted at the same time, expressing their feelings.

They had been raised by the Bauhinia Kingdom and had given their lives to the prince. Naturally, they had to finish what they started. Even if they lost their lives, they had to protect the prince.

“Leader, in front… in front, what is that?”

At this moment, a knight pointed to the front with a terrified expression and asked with a trembling voice.

“What’s the situation?” The leader of the knights questioned with dissatisfaction.

When he looked in the direction where the knight pointed, an indescribable fear instantly spread throughout his entire body, and his body couldn’t help but tremble.

At the same time, both the group of Knights and Li Yu’s horses cried out in alarm, kneeling on the ground and not daring to get up.

Whether it was Prince Li Yu or the general of the Kingdom of Fire, it was difficult to describe their feelings at this moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A terrifying tremor came from the ground in the distance. It was as if a huge mountain range was moving.

With every step, there would be terrifying consequences. Cracks appeared on the ground. The towering trees were stepped into the ground on the spot. The wood-based trees were crushed into pieces.

Li Yu and the others were shocked to see a giant appear before their eyes.

This was not an ordinary giant that was more than twenty meters tall. It was a giant that was more than 30,000 meters tall.

They had seen giant mountains in the surrounding kingdoms, but none of them could compare to this giant before them. Compared to this giant, they were like ants.

One of the giant’s toes could stand shoulder to shoulder with a mountain.

They could not even see the height of this giant clearly, because the giant’s head was above the clouds, and they could only see half of its waist.
