That day, the sky in the outer suburbs of Wetan City was not peaceful.
It was a small market outside an ore mining area, and it was also the customary trading address for many shady transactions.
After all, this place is far away from the city, and there is only a dilapidated shack area around it. It will leave traces when you come and go. It is difficult to ambush, and you can effectively avoid being hacked.
Of course, even so, there is still a mass grave here, specially used to bury those unlucky people who thought they were safe but still lie here.
The residents here have become accustomed to ignoring the sight of the two parties fighting each other.
But at this moment, another deal has not been concluded, and the two parties have directly caused a conflict. If we insist on finding some differences, we can only say that the standard of this conflict is relatively high...
The injured ancient red dragon was wailing, and blood was dripping from the large window in its abdomen. However, its wings were so tightly entangled in black spider silk that they could not unfold at all.
"I want to eat, but my father won't let me..."
A huge eight-legged spider with strange venom entangled her. The venom couldn't help but paralyze her body. She was so dizzy that she couldn't leave the ground at all.
"Greenspan! If you cower again, the agreement will be invalidated. We, the Royal Party, will retaliate against you to the end. Or, if you think you are comparable to Adams in strength and Reinhardt in strategy, you can go to war with us directly.
.Believe it or not, there is no need to return to Ciro. From now on, there will only be ten consuls left among the twelve consuls!"
The roar of the blue crystal bone dragon in mid-air made the two cowering undead archons make up their minds.
"Desolate Antfield!"
With the roar of Ant King Lumsden, his mental world was activated, the entire world was replaced, and the seriously injured Dragon Queen Moriel was forcibly pulled into the rotting plain.
"Zhizhi." "Sisi." Weird sounds squirmed under the plains, making people instinctively feel threatened.
After that, one ant nest after another was opened, and giant brown ant soldiers emerged from them. Looking at individuals, they were not powerful, but their endless numbers were the most terrifying.
The underground of the wasteland has been hollowed out. Under each hole is an ancient foreign kingdom in the form of ants. With the call of their king, countless soldier ants opened their caves. They are the soldiers and servants in front of the king, but
This time, the will-o'-the-wisps burning in the green pupils showed that they were also members of the undead army.
In front of Ramsden was the ancient Zerg King, and when its remains were resurrected into undead, his kingdom also revived.
Although his body has long since decayed and his strength has been greatly reduced by the passage of time, his endless people are still his pride.
The soldier ant warriors raised strange spears and wooden shields, shouted slogans, and launched meaningless charges. The giant elephant ants the size of a hill were their war beasts. The flying ant sergeants carried acid poison sac bombs.
The death bombing began, and the queens standing at the end began to release the dark magic that had been lost in history.
The powerful dragon queen fell into the swarm of ants. She trampled one to death, and ten more came. She sprayed out hundreds of flying ants with her dragon breath, but thousands of them came immediately. That annoying death curse
And dark magic is even more deadly and dangerous.
No undead archon is easy to deal with. Ramsden, who has a weak personal combat power, has a very powerful mental world. However, this powerful mental world called "Desolate Ant Field" consumes too much for him.
He usually doesn't dare to use it, which is why his ranking is low.
"Hmph! You idiot who relies on the world of mental images to make a living. If Adams hadn't entangled the Dragon Queen, she would still be able to fly. She would first try to hurt you and kill you by force. Idiot, individual strength is the foundation."
Gloria was indeed telling the truth. Strong fighting races such as the Undead Monarch and the Dragon Clan, because of their extremely powerful talents, have limited the exploration of their own paths. While the natural fighting power is amazing, it often represents a low level of learned skills.
, but for them, facing fragile mortals, only their own bodies are enough.
Even in the eyes of some extremists, mortals must practice practice to reach the height of fighting them, which proves their own strength and nobility. If you need strength, you only need to fight for it from time and blood. Practice and learn this
This kind of thing has nothing to do with you.
Of course, there are not a few people like Einmetheus who, although they are ancient red dragons, have reached terrifying levels in the two magic fields of fire and air.
But people like Xiaohong are in the minority after all. They rely on their own body to survive, sleep in, and wait for time to evolve. These are the common dragons. Many dragons don't even have their own soul emblems, but they just fight for the terrible
With physical conditions and basic abilities (basic attributes), it is not difficult to tear several legendary warriors apart.
As for undead monarchs, many naturally powerful undead monarchs also behave in this way, and Adam is a monster with no realm at all, but even human demigods must be cautious when facing him.
Well, our Lady Gloria will not admit that because she has no mental world at all, she is very envious of this powerful mental world, especially since this mental world has been praised by someone and recognized by the public.
"Hmph, what is the mental image world closest to the realm of the Undead Emperor? It's just because it's the same type of mental image world as the emperor, so it's only rated two points higher. What's the use of a mental image world that can only last for three minutes? Look, it's so fast
Just reveal your true colors."
The battle situation below changed again. Ramsden, who was gasping for breath, finally could not maintain the mental world. While this false world faded and shattered, the Dragon Queen, who was covered in trauma, began to counterattack.
However, Greenspan stood in front of Ramsden. He was extremely strong in hand-to-hand combat and could just make up for the shortcomings of the Ant King. In the past, they were partners like this, but this time, the ant suddenly fell from the sky.
The shadows looked around, but there was no chance for him to take action.
"Go to hell!"
Gloria swooped down and breathed out a fatal phosphorus poisonous dragon's breath. The ground turned into a blue sea of fire. This poisonous flame was extremely vicious. If it stuck to it, it would burn directly to the bones. Even Moriel could only retreat in the face of the dangerous sea of fire.
.
But her avoidance gave Adang a chance. The spider form that represented restraint transformed into a dark green monster with a big mouth in a burst of distortion. The deformed monster with only one mouth left in its entire body, used frog-like legs to
He jumped up, opened his mouth big enough to swallow the mountains, and actually planned to swallow the Dragon Queen directly!
"....This is not eating, this is attacking!" For the sake of delicious food, Adang had a rare enlightenment.
At the critical moment, the Dragon Queen took one last look at her wings that were still entangled and corroded by spider silk, twisted her body, and actually retreated a few minutes in the air with a strange posture.
"Ah ah ah... Ouch!" Even so, in the next second, dragon blood and screams flew across the sky, and the Dragon Queen was severely injured.
When Adang took one sip, the two dragon wings were immediately destroyed, but the Dragon Queen smiled.
"Now... we can finally take off."
The cruel dragon queen actually took the initiative to cut off the warrior's wrist and gave the wings to Adam. After losing the binding magic power on the spider silk, she regained the ability to fly. Although it would be more difficult to lose the assistance of the wings, it is not difficult for dragons to fly. Just with wings.
All the remaining magic power was used to fly, and the invisible wind dragged the Dragon Queen's injured overweight body and pushed her upwards.
Regardless of the cost, the speed was actually faster than the previous full speed. Even without the assistance of the wings, for the red dragon, which is the best in flying skills among the dragons, it is not easy to get rid of the bone dragon, which is famous for its slowness. Difficult matter.
Her abacus was very good, but...
"Ouch! Who is so unethical, forcing his eyes to fly around!!"
The dragon queen Moriel, who was eager to escape, accidentally bumped into a giant dragon that was "just passing by". If it were an ordinary young dragon (within ten meters), it would be knocked away by the dragon queen if it didn't give way, but she hit it , it happened to be an ancient red dragon of the same level (over thirty meters)!
"Fly with your eyes closed, change lanes at will, and drive in the opposite direction. If you learned the flight traffic rules, you won't be afraid of deducting 12 points at once and having your pilot license revoked."
The ancient red dragon who was talking nonsense yawned and glanced down curiously.
"Oh. Isn't this my vicious old lady who ruthlessly killed her husband, a son and three daughters for the sake of the throne? Why, she is so lonely that she can't sleep, so she goes out for a walk at night? Haha, we all agree, let's fly together ?”
But Moriel, whose magic power and airflow had been disrupted, could only fall straight down like an iron ball. Finally, she found that all the airflow was controlled by her opponent, and she couldn't even hang in the air. She had no choice but to give up her helpless struggle to flap her remaining wings. It fell straight down like a stone.
Below, the undead monarchs were sharpening their knives and waiting for her. In the end, she could only cry out helplessly.
"Eynmetheus! You must die a good death!"
But Xiaohong yawned, turned around and continued her walk, leaving only one sentence behind.
"My wife, what you taught me back then was really right. The howling of a defeated dog is really ugly."
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Dark clouds hung over Wetan City. As the auction drew closer, the atmosphere in the city became more tense and depressing.
Most of the underground city owners did not leave with the end of the alliance. The auction without any publicity had already spread throughout the city. In their eyes, the fun had just begun. At the auction, the old and new overlords were destined to win. A direct confrontation will have an impact on the distribution of forces in the entire underground world.
A real artifact is to be auctioned, and a treasure related to the royal power of Siro is to be sold. The intelligence organizations and thieves unions of various kingdoms are not freeloaders. One month is enough for this news to spread crazily on the ground.
Taking advantage of the advantage of being adjacent to the above-ground passage, the city is already filled with strong men from all over the world. At first, the Beast King did try to block the passage, but soon he would find that this was a thankless task. , the attraction of the artifact is too amazing, ordinary orc soldiers are meaningless to the strong men passing by, and if they annoy the other party, they may be wiped out directly.
After the outposts were cleared out more than a dozen times, even for the sake of the overlord's "dignity", the blockade order on the passage was still not revoked. However, in fact, the elite soldiers directly under the lord of those outposts have been replaced by the old, weak, sick, and disabled soldiers. Of course, they were
The soldiers who were used as cannon fodder were not stupid. They played cards, played mahjong, drank, and did whatever they wanted in the outpost, but completely ignored the foreign passers-by who should be stopped in front of them. The so-called blockade order also became the ears of the blind.
——The decoration, the old lion’s face was once again ruined.
As the auction time limit enters the countdown, not to mention undead and demons, which are public enemies of chaos on the ground, even orderly creatures from the upper planes such as Seraph Angels and War Angels can be seen on the streets. The most outrageous thing is that both sides
Actually they still maintained a certain tacit understanding, they just glared at each other with daggers drawn and did not start a direct war.
This strange current situation makes people feel that a storm is coming. To be honest, when I see this situation, I feel that even if two demigods come and take the scepter, they may not be able to take it out.
The worst thing is probably the alliance between the orcs Huang Tao and the Dragon Queen. Obviously, some people don't have the patience to wait for the auction, and the uninvited visitors who directly snatch it are becoming more and more powerful and ferocious. They are like the thousand-meter-long Mosgil behemoth.
When descending at high speed above the city, not to mention the orcs who were directly hit, even I doubted whether the Vitans would be directly destroyed as a result.
Fortunately, the two underground overlords mobilized their most elite forces. After paying a huge price, the Manticore Knights and the Red Dragons finally repelled the incredible behemoth that suddenly appeared and then disappeared. When someone
After being surprised that the Dragon Queen did not take part in the battle in person, more incredible news came - the Dragon Queen Moriel was seriously injured in an attack and was on the verge of death.
The Dragon Queen has dominated the underground for thousands of years, and her strength ranks among the top ten in the entire underground world (Dungeon Masters have many strong individuals, and overlords only represent power). She is also famous for being cunning. Such a strong person was defeated and escaped.
It's possible, it would be unbelievable to be brought to near death.
Moreover, if Dragon City's reinforcements had not arrived in time, I am afraid that Underground Dragon City would have been able to elect a new Dragon Queen.
The perpetrators were the five Ciro consuls. The reason? It is said that they were the Dragon Queen who dared to default on the wages of migrant workers, and were beaten up by the contractor who could not get the wages... Well, okay, there are no migrant workers in this world.
There was no contractor either. The fact was that the Dragon Queen paid for the murder but failed and then cheated. She failed to fulfill her request and failed to fulfill her previous promise to let the Undead Lords touch the scepter. As a result, she was severely beaten by the angry Undead Lords.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the revenge of Sulfur Mountain City. After all, there were only three monarchs who were defaulted on their debts, but five of them took revenge. They just launched a sneak attack after they disagreed with each other, and there are still people among these undead monarchs.
Contradiction, the flavor of conspiracy is too obvious.
And what blocked the sky at the critical moment, preventing the Dragon Queen from escaping smoothly, was Einmetheus of Beron who happened to be "passing by".
Okay, I admitted that I was the one who planned it, so Xiaohong was so happy that she was able to breathe a sigh of relief... She also avenged her grievance for being beaten up in Sulfur Mountain City.
"If we just steal a few small things as revenge, wouldn't we be underestimated? If you ask the undead archons to attack me as thugs, I will ask them to take revenge on you." This kind of revenge method is completely in line with the hypocritical peace of the underground world.
The rules let the world know that Sulfur Mountain City is definitely not something to be underestimated.
The dragon queen's personal strength is undoubtedly the most powerful support for the dragon beast alliance. When the news came back that the dragon queen was seriously injured, the orc army, which had been deeply wounded, was in an uproar. The morale of the army, which had not been shaken even by the giant beast attack, was obviously shaken.
.
It is said that deserters even appeared in the camp that night. This was the first time since Tao founded the army. The lion king was said to be heartbroken. His hair turned white last night, and now even the griffon on his chin has turned completely white.
In the intelligence booth of insiders, what is even more shaken is the arrogant and arrogant Dragon Clan. The Dragon Queen came to power by killing her husband, and she can rule the seven dragon cities because of her personal strength and coercion. Originally, the black dragons
She only regarded him as a nominal leader, and the only ones she could mobilize were the young dragons among the red dragons. Now that she was defeated, the wall fell and everyone pushed her. The ambitious young dragons in Dragon City were already looking for opportunities to rise to the top, while the older dragons
The ancient dragons even put forward suggestions to welcome back Ainmetheus.
But for me, I was surprised by the sudden visit of this distinguished guest.
Demon hunter Mi Ni, the chief of the centaur orcs, a famous epic strongman, is a little stronger than Tao in terms of personal strength, and it is said that he has a bad relationship with Tao. He combined the skills of his ancestors with his own magical archery skills.
He is famous throughout the underground world, and he also has a bit of hatred towards me...
"Margaret is under your care, Mi Ni, but you dare to appear in front of me. Do you really think you are strong enough to run rampant? You are not afraid that we will take you down."
In the battle outside the Sulfur Mountain City, Mi Ni's magic detonating arrow detonated Margaret's forbidden curse "Ice Age" in advance, and even caused the three precious Philosopher's Stones to be directly reimbursed. It would be astronomical to repair them.
Numerous gold coins, every time Margaret mentioned this centaur, her teeth itched with anger.
He is smaller than an ordinary horse. He has no extra armor except for the bronze breastplate. The huge longbow on his back is eye-catching. If you only look at his appearance, this gentle and long-bearded man has a bit of a scholar's temperament.
.
At this time, facing my hostile provocation, the old centaur smiled.
"I'm really sorry about that time. I happened to be negotiating with Tao at that time, but by chance, I was taken to Sulfur Mountain together. If the forbidden curse hadn't been too terrifying, I would have been involved, and I wouldn't have taken action.
And after that, I didn't do anything cruel to the Sage, which should prove my sincerity."
It was clearly an arrogant declaration, but I instinctively thought he was telling the truth. After all, while lamenting that the Centaur Chief of the anti-Beast Emperor faction also defected to Thao, Margaret was also curious about why she didn't meet Mi.
The magic power that Nie is good at penetrates the mother-child arrows, which also proves from one aspect that he is indeed telling the truth.
"The entire underground world knows that we are not the same as those savage beasts who eat raw meat and drink blood. I am very happy to see the losses of Tao and his group of butchers. If I were not forced to take action, I am afraid that my
The gifts and letters of thanks should have been delivered to my house."
I have indeed heard about this. Centaurs, tauren and other "herbivorous alliances" have a very bad relationship with the current Beast King Manticore Rentao and his related tribes, while calling each other "barbaric beasts that eat raw meat".
". Raw", while calling the other person "a hoofed domestic animal that eats grass" has long been the norm.
"Then why did you come?"
I thought that next he would talk a lot of nonsense like "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", and then, like other Dungeon Masters, he would conclude a private agreement with us that cannot be seen in the light, but Old Mi Nie actually shook his head with a wry smile on his face.
He shook his head.
"Sleepless man, you have reached this point, why are you pretending to be stupid? Just tell me, if you have any conditions, can you let me see my great niece first?"
"What!?" This tone, this feeling, is like an old wealthy businessman who finally had no choice but to compromise in the face of the kidnapper after his grandson was kidnapped.
"Don't be stupid, I admit defeat. I don't know how you know that Anriya is my only relative, the candidate for the next chief of the centaur race. It has been hidden well for so many years...
..If you have the conditions, just say so and don't go too far, otherwise, the bows and arrows in our hands will not be easy to deal with."
"What?!" This time, I was really shocked. That unlucky lightning rod, that silly girl with a bad mouth, was actually the candidate for the chief of the Centaur tribe. If she really became the chief, what would happen to the entire Centaur race?
It won't end here.
"You...don't you know?" With a strong intuition, Mi Ni realized that I wasn't pretending to be stupid on purpose.
"I really don't know! Who would regard that silly girl as an important person?" The shock passed, but I smiled and shook my head. "But now I know."
Immediately Mi Ni deeply regretted it. Now, she had to pay a lot of extra price for her carelessness.
"You want to see her, no problem."
But my decisive decision to let him go surprised him. It wasn't that I didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity to rip him off, but...
"...It's best to take her away quickly, at least before all our plates are destroyed. Many of us ate dinner from cups yesterday. Also, do you accept bill compensation here?
?With the speed of her destruction, if you are late to pick her up, I think you'd better prepare some extra cash."
These days, we finally know why Anriya keeps getting fired. Even if she is clumsy, a stupid girl who works hard is also very cute, but if she is so unlucky, accidents can happen everywhere. The glass will break while cleaning the glass, and the table will collapse when she moves it.
Even if you mop the floor, it will rot and collapse, which is really uncomfortable.
Obviously what he did was very irritating, but when he saw the sincere apology with tears in his eyes, it was obvious that it was bad luck and an honest mistake. There was really no one who was really cruel enough to accuse him.
"Pick her up quickly. Have you looked at the pile of documents on the table? They are all her damage reports. Remember to take the bills with you when you leave."
Mi Ni, who was also dumbfounded, nodded, but...
"I won't go back!" What was surprising was that Anriya directly refused to go home.
"Why? Are those little beasts at home treating you badly? Don't worry, my second uncle will help you." Frightened by her great-niece's rejection, the stunned Mi Ni hurriedly said.
"No, no, my brothers are very nice to Anriya. It's just that Anriya doesn't want to stay in Kam Prairie anymore."
"Why? Could it be that someone is competing with you for the succession rights of the chief? Don't worry, as long as I am here, you will be the first heir!"
"Not anymore. That's why it's not so boring."
"That?"
"Whoever wants to be a chief or something can go there. Anlia just doesn't want to stay in the country all her life. Anlia's goal is to be a rich girl in the city. Second uncle, look, there is nothing in the grassland except grass and livestock.
, there is no delicious food, no beauty products, no high-rise streets, no entertainment facilities, no... (more than 300 items in the province)."
"......Anlia is fed up with the days when she has to go to the grass in the grass even to go to the toilet. Anriya's goal is to be a rich girl in the city. Although it was a bit unsatisfactory at the beginning, she is finally able to do so.
Once I get on the right track, I don’t want to go back. I live in those days where I have to go to bed when it gets dark and there’s not even a light at night.”
The little centaur spoke faster and faster, laughing as he talked, but the old centaur's face became uglier as he listened. Recently, there have been many young people leaving the tribe for the luxurious life in the city, but he never expected that he would have high hopes for his precious niece.
It will be like this.
"...The brothers and sisters here are very kind to me. Even if Anliya accidentally makes a mistake, she never scolds me, nor does she fire me easily like other bosses. I want to start from here.
Get a foothold in a big city! Save your salary first, buy a small house, and then work a little bit harder. One day, you will become a real millionaire!"
"That's enough! I've pampered you too much. You don't deserve to be the descendant of the great centaur hero Meng Ge. You gave up the tradition of the centaur's golden blood so casually. You clearly have the noble blood of the prairie eagle, but you did it for a city coward.
You live a weak life and are willing to become a pig waiting to be slaughtered in the fence. You are simply a disgrace to a centaur. Come back with me and I will train you well."
Old Mi Nie pulled the struggling Anriya away and left. If it had been a few minutes ago, I would have definitely been happy to see what happened.
But now, hearing this young man’s declaration, I was inexplicably reminded of a thief girl who also came out of the countryside. She might have had a similar wish. - "I want to dig up the treasure and become the richest man in the world."
, live the life of a wealthy daughter!"
Perhaps, except for their goals, the two girls are obviously not alike at all. At least Lisa did get rich later, but I can't see the possibility of Anriya's goal being realized, but for some reason, I want to help this girl.
So, I stopped the two of them.
"Chief Centaur, maybe we can talk about interesting things, such as the Orc Emperor, such as the blood of demons. Well, for example, the current Orc Emperor has been corrupted by demons. Maybe it's time to replace him, and it's time for the Centaur
It’s time for the tribe to rise. You see, if Vitan City is your territory in the future, perhaps the young people in your tribe will not always think about leaving the tribe."
