Chapter 105 Blue Battle Flag
Looking back, although the faint morning light has appeared in the sky, Stromgarde, immersed in darkness, still looks like an indescribable giant beast, majestic and tyrannical. But there was an obvious gap in the gap where the flesh-and-blood metal puppet had previously collapsed.
Even looking from a distance on this hill, one can clearly see that the tatters are particularly profound and obvious, like a scar, deeply and heavily carved on Stromgarde, as if to mark the The evil Duke's power on this fertile plain of wheat, although it still exists in appearance, is rotten to the core. Only a rotten empty shell remains, and the rot has even extended to the outside!
There were continuous tremors on the ground. At this time, there was also a faint smell of sulfur in the night wind. It seemed that the underground crater had begun to move vaguely. Fang Lin suddenly understood what Duke Allen was thinking. , the reason why he stayed away from his station that day and left the disciplinary knight Scott to guard it was because he didn't have any good purpose.
Because the steel-armored giant carrying a bronze-handed sledgehammer should have been sent by the evil archduke to use the temperature of the magma core to temper the magic weapon. Allen felt that this behavior was likely to cause changes in the earth's atmosphere, which might lead to a volcanic eruption with unpredictable consequences. Therefore, under the premise that the evil archduke's order was irreversible, he took the initiative to ask for a tassel and set off away from Stromgarde, with a very specific purpose. Insidiously, he just wanted Scott to take the blame for himself. Even if something happened in Stromgarde, it would not be Allen's fault at all.
While Fang Lin was thinking, he stopped in his tracks. Now that he has obtained Allen's token, it is equivalent to holding Allen's vitals in his hands. In short, my main mission of guarding Dilan Fortress will take some time, so I might as well postpone it until the last minute and rush there. It is conceivable that the more impatient Allen is, the more beneficial it will be for future negotiations. According to Fang Lindi's judgment, if there is a high probability, or even a 100% probability, of a magic wand appearing in the golden scepter treasure chest. Then it is not impossible for Duke Allen, a wily guy, to turn his back on the spot.
So Fang Lin and the others did not return to Dilan Fortress, but marched to the top of a mountain nearly 20 kilometers away from Stromgarde. I found a cave and got in, but even here, the faint smell of sulfur in the air was very clear, and the temperature of the air was not as crisp as before dawn at all, but felt warm.
In the darkness before dawn, the entire sky around Stromgarde was dyed a deep crimson color. To be precise, it was the color of blood! The rumbling gradually intensified, and a rift gradually opened up from the ridge of Stromgarde. A large amount of sand and stones dyed dark red by the fire fell down. As the rift expanded, a long and narrow gap appeared below. The vast crimson ocean could almost engulf the sight. The things boiling below seemed to be It's magma, and it's like thousands of ghosts being burned!
The crimson light that we just saw came from here, wantonly rendering the night sky ruled by darkness! The mountains on both sides kept collapsing, sinking down to the burning red ocean, and from time to time there were blood-red waterfalls. The magma rushed straight up in an instant, and then covered it down condescendingly, and Stromgarde gradually tilted. Half of the castle collapsed, and Fang Lin and others could feel the dazzling and thrilling feeling even though they were so far away!
The sky was getting brighter, but Fang Lin and the others started to light a fire in the cave. After boiling a pot of sizzling broth and drinking it piping hot, the mountains were full of sun-dried hay. They just pulled some in and made a few straw beds before falling asleep. At this time, everyone was relaxed. I slept from morning until early morning of the next day.
Fang Lin's sleep was extremely sweet, and he was the last one to wake up. Lao Hu and the others, who had arrived early, were talking quietly to avoid waking him up. After waking up, Fang Lin wiped his face with cold water. He felt refreshed and thirsty, so he picked up a pot of honeysuckle tea and drank it.
After walking out of the cave, he only felt that the smell of sulfur in the air was stronger. The direction of Stromgarde was still dyed red by the fire, and it seemed that a second outbreak was very likely. At this time, Fang Lin looked at the time and felt that the ten-day limit for the main task of guarding Dylan Fortress was not too far away. , and returned to Dylan Fortress.
…………..
The hills in the distance are undulating, but they stop abruptly when they reach the slope in front, and there will be a plain of wheat in front of you! And Dilan Fortress is in this wilderness with the power of one man to guard against ten thousand men. Waiting for them, the last hill blocking people's sight soon succumbed to Fang Lin and the others.
However, with the faint light of the stars and the moon, what appeared in front of them was a desolate land full of destruction.
The vast plains that were supposed to be full of crops were littered with corpses, but instead they were filled with the wounds and products left over from the war!
In the short two days that Fang Lin and the others went to Stromgarde, Dilan Fortress was once again severely attacked. And there was still smoke rising throughout the Dilan Fortress. The huge crack on the city wall was smeared with a large amount of blood and bones, as if a dying patient was struggling with his last breath.
Fang Lin frowned slightly and rushed down the mountain. He carefully examined the bones remaining on the plain and did not speak for a long time. Although the dead cannot speak. But the information brought by the corpse is sometimes much more reliable than what is spoken by mouth. There is no doubt that when Arthur launched the attack on Stromgarde, he did not give up the suppression of Dylan Fortress and tried to intercept it. The men in Dilan Fortress came to the rescue.
Fang Lin patrolled the battlefield, turning many corpses over to check their backs. Penetrating wounds could be seen on the chests of many people, and the wounds were burnt into light black. These were obviously victims of The symbol of being hit by a flaming javelin indicates that in addition to suffering severe penetrating injuries, the body will also be burned with indelible dark marks due to the high heat of contact.
Except for the baarians beside Allen, there are almost no other soldiers who can cause such injuries. Only their big bows can shoot such sharp javelins. It can be inferred from this that there are a considerable number of such terrible enemies among the reinforcements called by Duke Allen. In other words, if Duke Allen feels unwilling to go back on his word at this time, he also has the ability to turn his back on others.
So Fang Lin thought about it and waited again until the reminder of the nightmare mark rang:
"The hidden main mission is to protect Duke Allen (completed). Dylan Fortress is currently 100% occupied by the evil Archduke Garibaldi, and Duke Allen is still alive."
"Hidden main quest reward i: 30,000 points, 15 potential points. All attributes +2. The pass evaluation will increase."
"Hidden main quest reward ii: E-level golden item, horse's seal. This magic item seals the soul of a horse. After use, it can summon a mount of a divine horse. It disappears after use. No need to ride this mount. Related riding skills , the mount's physical strength is increased by 30%, and the movement speed is increased by 30%. The attack range is increased by 3 meters. Before the mount dies, all the damage you receive will be borne by it. This item can also be exchanged for 30,000 points and 30 potential points. point."
Although this mount is quite restricted by the terrain, for example, it is not suitable for underwater, swamp and other environments where horses run, but the attribute "before the mount dies, all the damage you receive will be borne by it" can be used in critical situations. Sometimes it can save lives. However, for Fang Lin's team with the giant mammoth war elephant Nana, it seemed a bit useless.
Soon, Nightmare Mark gave another prompt:
"Three of you have signed a KOF contract, and the level of the nightmare mark of two of you has been raised to level IV, so you have the authority to merge the rewards II. If the rewards are merged, the three people's E-level gold props and the horse's seal will be will be cancelled. Obtain a level 1 blue battle flag.”
Note: The blue battle flag does not occupy the equipment slot. After being carried, it can be used to increase the movement speed of friendly forces within one kilometer by 4%. Comes with passive skill mental power burning:
While causing direct damage to the enemy, it will also have a mental burning effect. The amount of mental power burning is 1% of the effective damage value.
The blue battle flag can be enhanced in the nightmare space, but the enhancement failure rate is twice that of ordinary equipment.
After Fang Lin and the other three chose the blue battle flag, the Nightmare Mark prompted again: Your main mission has been completed, but there is still a hidden mission: the token lost in Stromgarde.
Do you want to return to the nightmare space immediately? whether. If you don't choose to return within half an hour, you will be wiped out. "
What Fang Lin was waiting for was the option of returning to the nightmare space at any time. He smiled slightly, walked to Dilan Fortress, took out the very luxurious and bright-looking token, held it in the palm of his hand and said loudly:
"Please ask Duke Allen to come out and answer."
