Scene 87 The Shadow of Death I
Looking down from above, the whole city is immersed in silent darkness. In the northern city, there are still shadowy cavemen moving around, but the central area of the old city is dead silent. Looking further south, a team is walking along the The streets and alleys of lights move fast.
"Quicker! Don't give them a chance to react!" Metisa took the lead, like a group of silver flames that were flying fast. The flames swept across the long street. If he couldn't dodge for a while, he was involved in the soul flame brought by the spear in the hands of the little silver elf princess, and was burned to ashes; the elegant and tall unicorn galloped on the street, flying up and down with its four hooves carrying spiritual flames, It was fleeting, leaving only a streak of fluorescent lights behind.
Behind her is the White Lion Guard in charge formation, and then the Summer Solstice Knights. "Follow up, knights of the empire!" Bloomfield, the deputy head of the Knights of the Summer Solstice, also roared: "Go and open up a path for our allies, protect the left and right wings, and don't let those who come from the underground The mouse has a chance!" The Cruz knights took back their equipment two days ago, and Brando invited them to fight for the empire. As the knights of the empire, they naturally have an obligation, although they understand that they are still hostages However, at present, the Qiaogendigang people are the enemies of the empire. Compared with them, the closeness of the Eruin people and the Cruz people shows an advantage.
As the saying goes, there is a contrast, and there is a gap.
After the knights cleared the way, came the bloated team of the envoys. In this team, except for a small number of nobles who were born in the army and horses, who could keep up with the speed of advancement without saying a word, the other pampered guys were almost accompanied by their own servants. Pushing, dragging, or carrying forward, there are a few particularly fat guys with long tongues, which look like dying old dogs from a distance, but no one dares to complain at this time. No one is urging them to move forward, but it is self-evident what will happen to them when they fall behind.
The members of Eruin's envoys rode horses, and these were genuine war horses - firstly, Brando was unwilling to waste Metisa's [Cavalry Preparation] card on these nobles, and secondly, he was also summoning the Heroic Spirit Pegasus The momentum was too big at the time, it was hard not to attract attention, and the loss outweighed the gain—but the number of mounts was limited after all, and there were three people on Roman’s horse at this moment. Chiara, fortunately, the combined weight of the three of them may not be able to catch up with Efram's meatball, and it is not difficult for these pure-blooded Cruz horses to carry them.
"Ephram, you idiot, you've gone the wrong way, come back to me!"
"Don't rein in! Can you ride a horse!"
"There's a monster leaking in from the left, Mr. Bloomfield, please stop those cavemen! Ah!" The merchant lady screamed in fright, and quickly lowered her small body to protect the little daughter, while avoiding the cavemen throwing it from her. Spear coming over, she asked loudly: "Chiara, are you okay!"
"I'm okay,
Miss Roman. "The representative of the Sifah family, the younger sister of His Royal Highness Wang's eldest son, turned pale with fright. The spear almost flew past the tip of her nose, but she let out a light breath and immediately calmed down. In her light blue eyes, only Excitement remained: "Miss Roman, there is a caveman over there, hurry up, let's lean over and have a look! The book says that when these monsters are alive, their skin can change color according to the environment, just like a chameleon, I have never seen it before! "
"Okay!" Roman replied with interest as soon as he heard it.
"Don't!" The only normal person among the three, Golan-Elson's young daughter Judith burst into tears in fright: "Sister Roman, sister Chiara, let's run, woo woo woo!"
The business lady was suddenly in a dilemma. On the one hand, Kiraya’s words made her curious and unbearable, and on the other hand, the little girl Judith was crying in her arms and made her flustered. After thinking for a while, she finally came up with an answer that was the best of both worlds: "His Royal Highness Princess Magdal, O'Neill, come and help me!"
The Duke's daughter was sitting behind the non-commissioned officer Marjorie. Seeing this scene, she didn't understand that the eldest lady had a whimsical idea again. She snorted coldly and said, "Please respect yourself, Miss Roman. , have you forgotten what the leader said?"
As for Princess Magdal, the latter smiled at her, then shook her head.
"Ah!" Roman seemed to have just remembered Brando's order, and suddenly showed a dejected look. And Kiraya was even more upset: "This annoying guy. Then just count him as owed to two living cavemen, one for each of us."
"The earl's debt is quite bizarre." Aike heard this and couldn't help but said to Marjorie on the side.
The non-commissioned officer from Yanilasu nodded approvingly.
Although there was a lot of noise in the envoys, the business lady was quite like the head of a caravan, and she managed to keep the bloated team in order after a lot of yelling. At least under her reminder, so far No one has been left behind, or some other unexpected situation has happened—of course, the only headache for Bloomfield, the deputy head of the Knights of the Summer Solstice, is that it would be great if the lady could standardize the orders in her mouth Don't add a businessman's slang in two or three sentences, how could a majestic knight understand that kind of thing?
The team moved forward all the way, getting closer and closer to the destination, and finally, after turning the last street corner, the conspicuous four-arrow signboard of Rowes' compass finally caught everyone's eyes.
"It's here!" Inner Court Knight Nasha couldn't help cheering.
Metisa immediately raised her left hand and told everyone to stop: "Squads one to eight are scattered, each looking for cover! Commander Bloomfield, let your people find cover! Miss Roman, tell the envoys to hide in the house! "
"What's the matter?" Nasha was slightly taken aback, looking at the elf princess with some puzzlement, not understanding what her order meant.
Bloomfield also looked this way with a puzzled expression.
Only Roman looked at Metisa, and immediately said to all the nobles behind: "Hurry up, hide in the house!"
In fact, the nobles behind hadn’t passed the corner of the street at this time, and they didn’t know what happened ahead, but they had long been accustomed to the strange orders of the merchant lady. Anyway, no matter how outrageous these orders sounded, they always It just needs to be useful, such as inexplicably ordering the team to stop, and also avoiding the ambush of the cavemen, or saying that going to the left is going to the right, and it turns out that it happened to avoid the blocking troops of the cavemen, just like there is a troop named The halo of "miracle and luck" shrouded this young lady, and they have long been familiar with it all the way.
At this moment, as soon as Roman gave the order, these people rushed into the buildings on both sides with a crash like a conditioned reflex, and they were so neat that they seemed to have gone through several drills, which was staggering.
Fortunately, the owners of these houses fled Greystone Town long before the war, so there were no unnecessary disputes.
Seeing this scene, Bloomfield murmured in his heart, but the leader of the Summer Solstice Knights also expressed enough admiration for Miss Roman's aura. Although he was skeptical, he ordered his subordinates to find cover. After hiding in the shadows on both sides of the street, Metisa suddenly raised her head to look at the night sky. Following her gaze, Bloomfield and Nasha also raised their heads. The nobleman hiding in the room They also raised their heads to look at the long and narrow sky above the street. The clear night sky in Anzlova was full of stars, and there were a few sparse clouds floating far and near. The pride moon was gradually disappearing into the clouds, casting a shadow.
The surroundings seemed to become extraordinarily quiet.
"What's that sound?" Nasha, the inner court knight, suddenly asked a little uneasy, "Did I hear it wrong?"
Bloomfield, deputy head of the Summer Solstice Knights, shook his head lightly, and he also heard——
The sound of the wind beneath the clouds.
In the winter of Anzeruta, there is a land-sea wind blowing from the hill of floating clouds to the highest inland sea. When this wind passes through the pine forest among the vast mountains of Anzlova, it will make the sound of rushing pine waves. This sound echoes in the quiet night , Like poetry and songs. But at this moment, this long poem between heaven and earth seems to be recited by another voice, and this voice gradually becomes high-pitched, like a sickly paranoid madman with a flushed face shouting loudly, reading out its words word by word In each paragraph, the sound of the wind gradually turned into a roar, and it swept across the entire hill. The nobles and knights hiding on both sides of the street stared dumbfounded at the airflow flowing through the night sky, which instantly became visible to the naked eye. , accompanied by sharp whirring sounds, and the sound of something being knocked to the ground from far and near, these sounds gathered together, like a sign before the end, it is fascinating.
In an instant, Metisa narrowed her eyes.
Everyone who looked up at the sky like her saw a huge shadow, like a fish swimming through the clouds, passing by the sky above Greystone Town, and what followed was that Pressed down from mid-air, with unparalleled power and influence.
...
'Kang Dang. ’ The metal disc shimmering under the moonlight in Nimesis’s hand, a treasure whose value cannot be estimated with the eyes of ordinary people, suddenly slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground.
Brando looked at the female knight a little strangely. With the strength of Nimesis, she would never be able to hold a thing firmly. Besides, he knew how much the other party knew the value of this metal disc, and he would never be careless. miss. Nimesis frowned, looking at the disc on the ground, she did not bend down to pick it up, but looked at the metal disc trembling slightly on the marble steps with a puzzled look. It made a buzzing sound, as if an invisible hand was manipulating it to dance.
The five eyes on the scene met on the metal disc, but after a while, they raised their heads again.
Brando was the first to see the clouds speeding up under the night sky.
"Damn it! Why is there such a thing? Hurry up and hide in the temple!" His complexion changed, and he pulled Tiya beside him and rushed back into the temple. The wild elf sister was caught off guard and was terrified. scream.
Nimesis's reaction was a little slow, but she immediately bent down to pick up the metal disc, and followed in a flash; behind was Uta, although the female mercenary captain didn't understand what happened at all, but she saw Seeing the strange scene that suddenly appeared in the sky above Anzlova, he also realized that something had happened, and subconsciously followed Brando's pace. In the end was Flo, the wild elf sister picked up the cane that her sister had dropped on the ground, and walked into the temple unhurriedly. She handed the cane to her sister who was still in shock, and then gave her lord a look .
It's a pity that Brando didn't notice her gaze at all at this moment. Both he and Nimesis were nervously looking at the sky outside the temple.
The clouds are surging westward—
The howling wind seemed to suppress all sounds, and the whole world seemed to turn into another kind of silence. Without a sound, a black shadow passed over the clouds, its spread wings covered the moon and stars. The light cast a gloomy shadow over Greystone Town. Uta and Tiya's eyes widened at the same time, and they didn't even realize when they opened their mouths. Just after that black shadow, there was a second black shadow, and the two black shadows were one behind the other. , is slowly crossing most of the night sky.
Uta only felt her throat gurgling, and her heart seemed to be pounding out of her chest. After a moment of laughter, she almost felt the blood in her body rushing backwards, as if her hair stood on end.
Tiya also tightly grasped the hand of her lord brother, even she was ignorant, she stared at the sky tightly, her emerald green eyes sparkled.
There is a legend in Warnd. It is said that if someone sees the shadow of a dragon flying across the sky under the clouds, it proves that a child with the blessing of a dragon will be born there in the near future. This is the talent of the bloodline—the dragon The origin of the shadow.
But in fact, since the golden age passed, few people have seen real dragons on the earth.
Adult dragon.
This is by no means a juvenile dragon who came out to practice like Aloz, Frofa, or Star, or was expelled from the Dragon Valley. This is real, the most terrifying and elegant creature of this era, a real adult Giant dragons - when they spread their wings, they are like a floating shadow, as if they can cover the light of the sun and the moon, the stars and all things. When they soar in the clouds, they are like fish swimming in the sky. Is the master of the sky.
"Dragon..." It took a while for the head of the female mercenary group to say this word.
"It's a black dragon." Nimesis added further.
"I know these two dragons," Brando said, his face somber and terrifying: "Modesti and Malthus."
"Who are they, Brother Brando?" Tiya asked with some fear.
"Sin Dragon, the expelled black dragon, they are one of the five supreme city lords of Qiao Gendigang, and they have come."
"The traces of ashes in Bear Lake." Nimesis suddenly remembered and reminded in a low voice.
"It's the Chiropodosaurus." Brando shook his head: "It's a pity, I haven't seen this top-notch creature of Jorgendigan, otherwise I would have recognized it at the time."
"Did they... come for this thing?" Uta stared at the metal disc in Nimesis's hand and asked, her face was still a little pale, as if her breathing hadn't come over smoothly, and it came from the deterrent force of the giant dragon If it is real, if she was not with Brando just now, she would almost scream in fright. But after calming down a bit, she immediately and subconsciously thought of the thing they just got from Tan Pu.
Brando shook his head: "I'm afraid not, I'm afraid it's a coincidence, that incident..."
He glanced at Nimesis, saw the same meaning from the other party's eyes, and changed his words: "Tan servant should be a temporary idea, no..." He shook his head again: "Its level is not enough, it should be The meaning of the lizard king, but they haven't realized the value of this thing, otherwise they wouldn't keep it so casually, let us get it."
He took a deep breath, and then said: "But you are right, Juta, they will not come to the surface world easily, these two big guys must have plans."
"My lord?"
Brando smiled wryly. Fortunately, he was alert before and threw the sword of the earth into Amman's dimensional hole in advance. Now he can finally be sure that the inexplicable vague connection before came from where.
At the same time, he probably also figured out one thing.
What is the real purpose of Qiao Gendigang.
...
The shadow of the dragon is receding.
Metisa let out a soft breath. Behind her, almost all the Cruz nobles collapsed to the ground in fright. Chiara was also pale and out of breath. Some people even screamed before. Fortunately, the business lady quickly cast a silent witchcraft, which saved the envoys from an innocent disaster. But the worst of all was Ephraim and the Duke's young daughter Judith, who fainted from fright and became unconscious.
"Then... what is that?" O'Neill could almost hear the rattling sound of her upper and lower teeth chattering.
"A dragon...it's a dragon." Chiara sucked in a small mouthful of air, her light blue eyes seemed to be gradually recovering their brilliance, she was scared to death, but also excited to death: "That's a real dragon!"
"Shut up!" Metisa turned her head and ordered sternly: "Don't make a sound!"
The stern look of the little silver elf princess even startled Roman, who had never seen her like this before.
Metisa sighed quickly, and said in a low voice: "If you don't want to die, don't talk. You don't know how terrifying a real dragon is."
In any case, her words had just the right effect, and those Xia Zhi knights and soldiers of the White Lion Guard who were still able to speak also obediently shut their mouths.
But at the moment when the silence spread, a sudden voice sounded in the silent night——
"Don't lose it!"
The voice came from afar, followed by a second yell of exasperation.
"Damn it, close your eyes!"
