After walking down the hill, Fang Plover met an unexpected person.
Ye Huazheng held out his hand to him with a faint smile. "Well done, Ed." The young man holding the sword also stood aside. Fang Yu was a little surprised to receive the praise from his idol.
It's just that after experiencing the Van Rick incident, for some reason, this emotion has become much lighter than before.
He looked at the hand. Ye Hua also looked expectantly and asked with a smile: "Ed, have you ever considered joining us?"
Fang Plover shook his head slightly.
Ye Hua smiled and took back his hand: "Although I have been prepared for a long time, I still can't help but want to give it a try..."
"Master Ye Hua..."
Just as Fang Yu was about to speak, Ye Hua laughed and interrupted him: "No need to explain, we are the same people. I understand your pursuit, I just don't want to give it a try. Hey, in fact, in the early years, I could still pass it like this
It seems that he is getting old and his influence is not as good as it used to be."
After hearing this, Fang Yu couldn't help but wipe his sweat.
If he were in Du Lun, if there were no people from the Seven Seas Brigade around him, and if Ye Hua had extended an invitation to him at that time, he might have been really shaken.
But there are no ifs in reality. He is no longer the ignorant boy who was full of unrealistic longing for everything after the Star Gate, and only longed for the names under the halo. The adventure experience taught him many things
, after the heavy halo faded layer by layer, he also learned how to pursue his own direction.
Ye Hua smiled and changed the topic. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's just making people sad... After all, I will retire in a few years..." He suddenly changed the topic: "The King of Sand asked us to
Let’s go see something, let’s go together.”
"Has Master Ye Hua also received the news?"
Ye Hua nodded.
"By the way, Ed." he asked suddenly.
"What's wrong, Master Ye Hua?"
"You know, the Emerald Star is indestructible. There is only one possibility for it to self-destruct. Have you heard of it?"
When he said this, Ye Hua was looking at him with burning eyes.
Fang Yu couldn't help but fell silent. Of course he understood. The Emerald Star will only disintegrate itself after the power within it is completely released, just like the fragments found on the 'Daoud'. And the reason why he had done so before
To crush the Emerald Star, some special power was used...
He knew that the power of the Dark Saints came from the same source, and that the power of the Dark Dragon came from the bane star Verdant, and Nicol Bolas inherited the power from the Dragon King Lifgard, so he wanted Nini to give it a try and see.
Let’s see if similar power can shake the stability of Green Star.
Unexpectedly, the blow worked and shattered the crystal mountain into pieces.
But the consequence is that Nini is still in a deep sleep. The little girl holds her knees with her hands and curls her tail, just like she did when she was born, curled up in the depths of his spiritual world.
He wasn't really worried because Nini was in good condition. It was better to say that she fell into a deep sleep after absorbing too much power. But Fang Yu was not sure when the little girl would wake up next.
Come, it won’t be hundreds or thousands of years later, right?
However, only a small part of the energy contained in the Crystal Mountain was transferred to Nini's body. I don't know whether it was because Nicol Bolas's soul was too young or because an external force shattered the Emerald Star.
Most of the power escaped into the air.
But that strange ether seemed to disappear without a trace.
The consequences it causes are intuitively visible to the naked eye.
The forest in the distance is withering, the canyon is fading, and this thousand-year-old phantom sea is disappearing little by little.
But regarding all this, Fang Yu didn't think about how to speak. He tried to muddle through, but he didn't expect Ye Hua to see it at a glance.
Before he could think of how to answer, Ye Hua had already spoken first:
"Ed, the Hailin Crown is in your hands."
Fang Yu subconsciously took a step back.
"Don't write everything on your face." Looking at his expression, Ye Hua couldn't help but shook his head: "You should hide these secrets more carefully in the future. Regarding Cang Zhihui, the descendants of Flor should not know
Those who give up easily. They are chasing the Sea Witch just because they still don’t believe that the Hailin Crown is actually in your hands. In the future, you must be careful when it comes to the Emerald Star."
"Especially when your strength has not grown enough to compete with a 'giant'..."
Ye Hua said earnestly.
Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
It turns out that the Ten Kings also knew about the connection between Cang Zhihui and the Emerald Star.
But he didn't actually use the power of Cang Zhihui? But how should he answer that there is a dark dragon soul in his body? This seems to sound more arrogant than before.
Fang Yu had no choice but to keep silent and pretend that he had listened.
…
When the two came to the bottom of the valley, they found that this place had just experienced a battle.
The valley was in a mess, with broken weapons, fragments of armor and magic devices scattered all over the ground, as well as some exploded equipment, and tall structures leaning crookedly on the roadside with magic sparks emitting. Desert
The soldiers of the people were cleaning the battlefield, and Parker took the opportunity to fish in the troubled waters and had already picked up a lot of money.
He thought that no one knew about it, but he didn't know that after taking two steps, a piece of equipment fell out from under his bulging coat, and he hurriedly picked it up again. Others just pretended not to see it, especially
Those Istanian knights only let out a low laugh.
However, considering that they are the benefactors of His Majesty the King of Sand, these warriors of the desert people are happy to turn a blind eye.
Only Fang Yu looked at this embarrassing guy and wished he could throw him out.
Luo Hao stood guard next to a row of corpses.
Bodies on the battlefield are still rare
Because in order to ensure the morale of the army, under normal circumstances, no matter whether it is the Sand Pirates or the regular army, people who have no chance of resurrection will not be recruited into the army. People with abundant starlight will often be more energetic during battle.
Bravery, this is what Aitalia has gained from experience in many years of war.
Of course, under certain specific circumstances, such as a war to overthrow the country, when the military strength is stretched thin, such regulations are often abolished. For example, the Battle of Bain thirteen years ago reached its most intense stage.
, the armies of various countries almost never allow soldiers who have lost the chance of resurrection to withdraw from the battle.
The soldiers were not good, and the nobles were not good either, so that battle could be called tragic.
But the current situation obviously has not reached that level yet.
What's more, the row of corpses is also very strange.
There were about a dozen of them, and their attire was incompatible with the people around them. It was neither the attire of the Royal Forbidden Army nor the attire of the Sand Bandits. However, Fang Plover couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the clothes of those people, because these
The people are wearing the attire of earthlings.
"The Chosen One?"
He was shocked. None of the candidates were dressed like this.
Even tourists will change into Etalia-style clothes before entering the star gate.
Before Luo Hao had time to speak, he had already walked closer and saw clearly the appearance of these people. What surprised Fang Hao even more was that these people were not chosen ones. Judging from their appearance, they were clearly distinguishable.
He is obviously a native of Istania. He has a high nose, deep eyes, bronze skin, and more importantly, almost faded irises. Some local characteristics can also be seen.
The very light purple is a major characteristic of the Istanians. Even Lavalli's light blue eyes can still see a faint purple halo. According to the legend of the Istanians, that
This is proof that their ancestors have part of the Sinthas snake blood. However, although no one can prove that human-snake hybrids really exist, the purple in the pupils is one of the typical physical signs of the Istanians.
And this kind of physical signs can be found on every corpse in front of Fang Plover.
And these corpses have one thing in common.
That is, they all have some strange black tattoos on their hands and feet, like vine patterns, wrapped around their wrists and ankles. Some people have lighter patterns, some have darker patterns, and the most common one is a middle one.
For young people, almost half of their arms are covered by such patterns.
Fang Yu originally thought they were tattoos, but he soon discovered that it didn't seem to be the case. The patterns seemed to grow out from under the skin of these people.
These corpses are really weird.
However, they should have participated in the previous battle. Each of them was carrying a magic furnace behind them. Fang Yu checked the model of the magic furnace. The Flame AEM type magic furnace is a kind of military and craftsman type magic furnace that is very common in Oshu.
The induction furnace is slightly inferior to the products produced by the Imperial Workshop, but even in the Empire, not every army can afford the products produced by the Imperial Workshop.
Then he raised his head and looked at Luo Hao:
"What's going on with all these bodies?"
"They appeared after the battle," Luo Hao replied: "At that time we found traces of Miss Afifa, and a group of blind followers were taking her away from this place, but while we were chasing, these people suddenly appeared
"
"Appeared suddenly?"
"Yes," Luo Hao nodded with lingering fear: "It just appeared on the battlefield out of thin air... like some kind of teleportation spell..."
"These people are all combat craftsmen?"
"They are all fighting craftsmen, and their fighting ability is not bad... Fortunately, Babartan's knights are with us..."
At this time, Parker ran back with his trophy in his arms, and also interjected: "Yes, fortunately there are only more than ten people on the other side, otherwise I would have had to escape. After such a big battle, I
It shouldn’t be too much to pick up some loot, right?”
Fang Yu was too lazy to pay attention to this person, but his words still made his heart move slightly.
He suddenly raised his head and asked loudly: "The knights of the Sand King are here, where are the Sand King's people?"
Because the voice suddenly became louder, the nearby Istanian knights also looked in this direction.
Luo Hao was slightly startled: "The Sand King's army has defeated the sand bandits and is driving them away. He separated a part of the knights of the guard to clean the battlefield here, and he took Earl Numan to the front, but don't worry too much
, there are also many Guards Knights around Babartan."
"There are quite a few more, how many are they?" Fang Pliong asked immediately.
"About half."
half?
Fang Piao looked around and saw that there were only thirty or forty knights left here, and the remaining half should be about the same number.
He immediately asked: "Where is Miss Afifa? In which direction is she?"
Luo Hao was also a little nervous by his tone and quickly pointed in a direction.
"The blind follower took Miss Afifah and fled in that direction. After defeating these combat craftsmen, His Majesty led the others in pursuit."
The uneasiness in Fang Yu's heart became more and more obvious.
In other words, not only the King of Sand, Luo Yu, Xiang Xiang and Jita are also in that direction. More than ten people cannot stop the King of Sand and the many guard knights around him. But what if there are hundreds of people?
Even if hundreds of people appear together? If the opponent has the ability to arrive at the battlefield instantly, it is possible to project more people onto the battlefield.
If the other party can really accurately project its troops to the designated place, this will be extremely terrible news.
But His Majesty the Sand King seemed to be dazzled by the victory that was so close at hand, and did not realize it for a while. But after all, this is understandable. Such an abnormal thing would be difficult for ordinary people on the battlefield.
Get by association.
Just a battle craftsman who appeared out of thin air. Fang Plover always felt that he had heard of such a thing. That's right, in the attack ten years ago, the alchemist suddenly appeared out of thin air in Istania.
As if it had never existed, it disappeared without a trace.
How many alchemists were involved in that attack?
He suddenly realized a terrifying possibility. His guess might be becoming a reality.
Everything that happened ten years ago is happening again.
As soon as this idea emerged from his mind, he felt the communication crystal in his hand heat up and turn red. Fang Yu was excited and quickly pressed down the crystal. He immediately heard Jita's anxious voice coming from the other side: "Ed.
Brother, we were attacked by hundreds of people. His Majesty the King of Sand divided his troops twice before, but now we can no longer stop these people..."
Fang Yu hurriedly asked: "Jita, where are you?"
But there was no news from the other end of the communication crystal.
Fang Yu stood up immediately.
But at this moment, a voice came from behind him:
"Ed, don't worry, come with me"
Fang Yu looked back and realized that it was Ye Hua walking up.
The Ranger King, the former president of the Southern Alliance, was looking at the row of corpses with some meaning.
Then he turned his eyes and stretched out his hand to Fang Plover: "Hold my hand and I will take you there."
Fang Yu knew in his heart that each of these great gods had their own methods. If the Ranger King was not here, the current situation might still be a bit dangerous. But since he is here, those fallen alchemists are probably seeking their own death.
He has always known that the aborigines look down on the title of Ten Kings that the electors use for their own entertainment. Perhaps in Seineman's eyes, Ye Hua's status as the former president of the Southern Alliance far exceeds the weight of his title of Ten Kings.
.But in the minds of the selectors and fans, this order is of course reversed.
Of course, the top combat power of the indigenous people is much higher than that of the chosen ones. After all, the golden years of the chosen people are only ten years. Although the indigenous people upgrade slowly at the beginning, their strength can be accumulated over time.
After Karatu's level, it is often difficult for the chosen ones to match him.
But the Ten Kings are, after all, the Ten Kings.
He looked at Luo Hao on the side and said to the latter: "Protect Princess Afifa."
Luo Hao nodded lightly.
Fang Plover turned around and reached out to hold Ye Hua's hand. Not far away, the knights of the Sand King's guards had obviously heard the sound coming from the crystal before, and they were turning their horses' heads one after another.
Galloping in that direction.
The light on Ye Hua's armor flashed slightly, just like the radiance produced when an angel flashes. A light door appeared in front of the two people, sweeping from front to back, allowing the two people to pass through the halo, and instantly
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared on the same spot. At that moment, Fang Plover felt an endless stream of light flashing past his eyes. It was not until the light faded away that his vision seemed to come out of a stretching tunnel.
In an instant, it returned to normal
What appeared before him was a chaotic battle scene.
He first looked at the King of Sand and Count Nurman, who were surrounded by more than a dozen guard knights. Surrounded by the knights were as many constructs as the sea, masters, pursuers, and chicks.
The dragon, as well as the Annihilator floating in the distance, beams of fire passed through the night, and then annihilated on the shield of the guard knight, leaving only a dark red spot.
Although the defense line has not been broken through for a while, the situation is already precarious.
The next moment, the deafening sound of fighting reached his eardrums.
Then he saw Miss Mystic who was protected by the King of Sand and Numan in the center. Jita, Luo Yu and others were also there. The two of them were constantly casting spells. But their low-level spells were difficult to deal with.
High level constructs work.
Neither can the square plover.
But Ye Hua can.
As soon as the Ranger King landed on the ground, he calmly opened his bow. Fang Plover didn't even have time to see how the arrow was shot. He saw a flash of dim light, and a tall construct in the distance knelt down on all fours.
It fell forward to the ground with a sound. But that was not the end. In a straight line behind the tall structure, dozens of structures fell to the ground with almost exactly the same movements.
Ye Hua turned around and said, "Ed, help me position myself."
Fang Plover understood.
He originally thought that he should be a little excited to fight side by side with one of the Ten Kings.
But when things came to an end, his heart felt calm, like a mirror stilling water. He raised his right hand and heard a soft "buzz" sound. A piece of silver light rose from the side of the two of them. It spread its wings and flew in all directions.
Go, like rising stars, filling the entire night sky in an instant.
The alchemists hiding in the woods raised their heads one after another and looked at this scene with a bit of surprise.
How many combat craftsmen did Babartan bring here?
Was the information Seineman gave wrong?
Ye Hua also raised his head and looked at the dots of light, slightly surprised.
