Chapter 171 The Last Demon Hunter (3)
Dukar's arm holding the short bow was clenched suddenly, and Sakya also felt the change in his mood, his figure coiled into a ball, staring at the inside of the palace with a "hiss".
"I have the ability to take you away."
"Where are you going? Forget it, I have been against you for so long, and I regret it when I say it... If you didn't stop you and Ive... If you could take him away... Maybe the high elves will still have blood left .”
The prince turned his gaze to the side and lowered his voice. Seeing a dense crowd of orcs rushing over in the distance, the complex expressions on his face were covered by the helmet, he clenched his long sword tightly, and shouted forward: "Guards, fight to the end!"
"For the glory of the High Elves!"
The remaining dozens of high elf guards stood at attention and saluted with determination on their faces.
But the prince took a few steps forward, with his back to Ducal, and said in a low voice: "Go, time is running out. Unexpectedly, the only time in my life I will take the initiative to help you, and I will lose my life..."
Ducal pursed his lips tightly, just sighed, turned around and rushed into the palace...
Rody, who was originally only in the mood of watching a play, stood there, looking at the back of the unknown prince, feeling inexplicably shocked. He continued to chase Dukar forward, but stopped after running a few steps. When he looked back, he only saw the prince and his guards resolutely rushing towards the orc.
Rody had also experienced such a behavior of manipulating arms and carts in the past - when the Karen Kingdom was almost destroyed, the resistance of the kingdom's army was almost exactly the same as the scene in front of him...
Heroic and tragic.
Such an empathetic scene made Rody clenched his fists, but he finally understood that this was just an illusion, took a deep breath, and rushed towards the interior of the palace. Although he knew that everything happened hundreds of years ago, he still felt an inexplicable depression in his chest...
Ducal was running in the palace like crazy, but there were no guards and waiters in the spacious and bright palace. The sound of footsteps echoed in his ears. It was replaced by grassy ruins, but Rody followed closely regardless of the difference.
Rushing to a room, the expressions of the two guards changed greatly when they saw Ducal, and one of them shouted loudly: "You guy who is cursed by the devil! Don't come near here!"
But then he was stopped by the voice in the room, Dukar didn't even look at the guard, pushed him away, and entered the room.
Rody was panting from running behind, and when he walked into the house belonging to the high elf royal family, he saw a pale and beautiful elf lying on the bed, and the elf standing beside him was wearing a golden battle armor and wearing a The golden crown is exactly the "Elf King" Abaddon on many sculptures in the city.
"Eve!"
Ducal stepped closer, but it was as if he didn't see Abaddon at all. He rushed to the bed in a few steps, but saw that Ave's face was completely drained of blood, and the bandage on her chest was already oozing blood. His words made Princess Ave's eyelashes move slightly, and then she opened her eyes.
King Abaddon looked at the scene in front of him, without much expression on his face, and whispered: "Dukal, are you willing to show up until now?"
Ducal just reached out and held Ive's cold palm without making a sound.
"You are a person cursed by the devil. The high elves have already expelled you. What's the use of coming back now?"
"I can take you away." Ducal ignored the High Elf King behind him, but just looked at Eve who was almost silent, "Let's go now, there is still a chance."
"Let's go, so what?"
Abaddon looked at the devastated scene outside the palace, and the orc soldiers who had gradually surrounded him, his exhausted face was undisguised: "Ten days of hard work,
This is our final home..."
He then looked at his daughter, and said to the witcher, "The arrow in Ive's body is extremely poisonous, and those priests can't save it."
When such words came out, Dukar's body trembled.
Ive was in a dying state at this time, but when she noticed that Ducal appeared in front of her, she even tried to sit up when she couldn't even open her eyes. He coughed, and bright red blood flowed down the corner of his mouth...
"I'm here."
Ducal clenched her hand, and said countless words, but finally turned into this bitter sentence.
Ive lay back on the bed, trying to squeeze out a smile from the corner of her mouth, but the beautiful face couldn't smile because of the pain. She closed her mouth tightly, her chest heaved, and she pulled Ducal to her body Before, as if exhausting his last strength, he said, "Can you... kiss me?"
Without any hesitation, Ducal leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips.
"I'm sorry..." Eve's voice was like a whisper, "I can't keep my promise..."
"sorry…"
Ive stretched out her hand, trying to hug his back, but that arm eventually lost its strength and fell to the side——
Abaddon turned his back in silence, and tried his best to suppress himself from making any sound, but Rody, who was standing aside, could see two lines of tears running across his face.
Dukar lowered his head slightly, his lips trembling, and the dragon scales on the surface of the armor suddenly shone with a reddish brilliance, and the turbulent flow caused by the disorder of the elements was suffocating.
Princess Eve died of serious injuries and died in Ducal's arms.
When this scene happened, Rody stared blankly at everything in front of him... But he felt as if his chest was blocked by something, and even breathing became difficult.
The figure of the little witch inevitably appeared in his mind. Back then, Nefei was lying in his arms, and even the words he uttered were the same as the princess Ive in front of him—different time, same ending. At this time, Rody was involuntarily immersed in the painful memory, and almost forgot his mission here.
In front of him, Ducal didn't yell loudly, let alone say anything out of control, but after a moment of silence, he gently kissed Ive's forehead, and then let go of his and Ive's clasped hands .
A necklace appeared in the palm of Ducal's palm, which was handed to him by Ive when he just grabbed him. Rody on the side was originally shrouded in sadness, but when he saw this necklace, his heart was shocked-it was the black necklace he had worn with him!
Ducal clenched the necklace in his hand and slowly got up: "I'm going to bury her."
His words were cold and toneless, but the more this was the case, the more Roddy could understand the anger and hatred in his heart-because Ducal's reaction was almost exactly the same as that of Rody after losing Nefer!
"Go to the classics room in the basement."
Abaddon's face seemed to have aged instantly, he closed his eyes slightly and said, "I'll take you there..."
Ducal didn't speak, but gently hugged Princess Ave, and walked into the depths of the palace.
Countless roars came from all around, all the guards outside the palace were killed, and the prince also died. When the sound of heavy footsteps came, the orcs had already entered the palace.
The High Elf King clenched the hilt of the long sword at his waist, but the remaining guards knelt on one knee and said in unison: "It is our honor to be able to dedicate ourselves to our lord."
After all, they rushed towards the orcs who had already entered the corridor without looking back...
Roddy, who witnessed all this, turned his head to look for Ducal, and then found that everything had returned to reality.
The bright and tidy palace became a dilapidated pile of rubble, the dome above was replaced by a gloomy sky, the cold wind blew past, and the scene that happened seven hundred years ago seemed like a dream.
He took a deep breath and realized that three minutes had passed—he rushed towards the interior of the ruins, leaving only the only key word in his mind: "Book Room".
*****
At the same time, the flames spewed by the Snake King Sakya had already ignited a large forest.
Sakya attacked all around like crazy, his huge body even smashed a large piece of forest while swinging, and on the way it rushed past, three mercenary corpses covered in fire fell down.
Village Chief Brody looked at the formidable snake king Saga from a distance, raised the wooden stick in his hand, and pointed at the four humans who were still running on the road in the forest...
The green light flashed, and the vines that suddenly grew on the ground tripped the two horses to the ground. The mercenary with his feet in the stirrups was immediately brought to the ground, and there was a scream, which did not last for a few seconds. Sakya, who followed behind, exhaled directly, covering them in the flames.
"Let Lando's team move."
Seeing that there were only two mercenaries left, Brody turned around and gave an order. The wood elf next to him immediately pulled out a whistling arrow and shot it out. Notice.
The running mercenaries tried their best to speed up, but just after breaking away from Brody's encirclement, the only remaining deputy head and one of his subordinates encountered another wave of arrows, and the deputy head with fair sword skills avoided it by swinging arrows. It was a catastrophe, but the mercenary next to him was shot in the shoulder and fell off his horse, and died tragically in the mouth of Sakya in the blink of an eye.
Ten mercenaries went to lure the Snake King Sakya, and now they ran for less than three minutes, but only one person was left alive... This result has completely chilled the heart of the only remaining deputy head of the "Blood Shield Mercenary Group".
He knew very well that he had been plotted against, but at this time there were enemies in front of him and Sakya behind him, and he had no choice but to die wherever he went—in the choice between being burned to death by flames and being shot by arrows He could only bite the bullet and continue to rush forward...
Because there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart: the signal sent by that scroll is enough to remind Captain Kevin that an accident happened here, as long as he brings people here, everything will be easy to talk about!
With this belief in his mind, after being lucky enough to avoid a few deadly arrows, the sound of horseshoes in the distance made him finally heave a sigh of relief—Kevin is here!
Because the magic scroll was notified instantly, and the two sides were facing each other, the main force of the "Blood Shield Mercenary Group" led by Kevin arrived in front of the deputy head within a few minutes.
It's just that these mercenaries didn't know what happened to the deputy head at this time, they just rushed forward under the order of head Kevin. When they saw the deputy head running desperately and the giant snake chasing after him, the mercenaries were shocked and wanted to turn the horses, but they didn't know that a rain of arrows hit them. When it was too late to react, he was shot down a lot with a crash!
