205 Gathering the Dark Proving Ground and Dragons!
The Grand Forest stretches thousands of miles across the three countries, and even certain areas of the forest have become specific national boundaries.
Between the Delos Empire and the Principality of Belle Mare, in addition to the Faroe Bay in the south that separates the territories of the two countries, the Lorain Forest slightly to the north is also an obvious national boundary.
The Lollan Forest is located on the outskirts of the Gran Forest. There are many mountains around it and it is difficult to walk. Therefore, the Elvin Defense Line established in the Lollan area has become the dividing point between the Empire and the Principality.
The Lorraine Forest is on the side of the empire, with a chain of mountains that extends all the way to the Afaria Mountains in the north, and can even be connected to the Stru Mountains in the north.
In this mountain range, there is a large basin surrounded by mountains.
The terrain in the basin is flat and open, with only a few canyons as entrances and exits, and natural barriers surrounding it. It is a rare Feng Shui treasure land.
However, such a rare treasure land was used by the empire to build a huge testing ground, which was the famous Billmark Empire Testing Ground!
By the way, there is a gloomy cave on the back of a certain cliff outside the basin. It is the "Screaming Cave" that gave rise to the name of the Four Sword Masters...
Since the explosion at the test site five years ago, this area has been completely sealed off and turned into a military zone.
The reason is very simple. The test site is filled with the transferred energy of the demon world. Once ordinary people enter, they will be eroded and unable to perform normal work at all.
However, the ambitious Delos Empire, or the ambitious Emperor, would not waste such a precious land. On the surface, he retreated behind the scenes on the grounds of adultery, but in fact, he worked with Baan to research new powers.
Now, a certain area under the original test site has been developed into a new experimental base, and His Majesty the Emperor, who has not been seen in public for a long time, is hiding here.
It's not that the empire can't find a new place to build an experimental base, but the experiments currently being carried out require the transfer of energy. In this case, what place is more suitable than here!
In the huge underground base, Emperor Leon Heinrich III had just finished his swordsmanship and was taking a bath in a bathtub that was comparable to a swimming pool.
The water droplets flowed along the golden hair tips and fell weakly on the rock-solid back. The bulging muscles and the hideous scars quietly told His Majesty the Emperor's past proud achievements in the empty bathroom.
"Wow..."
His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand gently, causing a stream of water to fly out of the bathtub like a dragon entering the clouds, and hit him.
Before all the water flowed down, suddenly, the emperor stretched out his hand, and a ferocious giant sword broke out of the water not far away and flew into his hand.
The shape of this giant sword is very unique. If Ying Tianyi were here, he would be able to recognize it at a glance. It is the level 80 epic sword in the DNF game-Tian Mo Zhan!
The ferocious and wide Heavenly Demon Slash was as light as a wicker in His Majesty's sinewed hands. With a casual wave of his hand, a blazing sword energy flew toward the entrance of the bath.
"laugh!"
The bathroom door made of steel was cut open by the sword energy like tofu.
"clang!"
A trembling sound of metal clashing sounded immediately outside the door.
"Oh, Your Majesty, your habit is not good! Every time I come to see you, you have to destroy a door. Even if the door is not valuable, it is not a waste like this!"
The broken door fell to the ground with a bang, and a figure holding a sword slowly walked out of the door. A handful of red hair mixed with white hair instantly revealed his identity.
The person who came was none other than Ying Tianyi’s swordsmanship teacher, Barn, the strongest swordsman in the empire!
Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor noticed Baan's arrival and waved a sword energy to welcome him.
As a result, the sword energy destroyed the door, but failed to hurt Baan, and he easily resisted it.
"You came to me now to inform me that the experiment was successful, right?" His Majesty the Emperor threw away the Demon Slash and continued to scrub his lion-like body.
"The big tests are still going on. After all, different dimensions are not easy to break. One of the small tests was successful. I have ordered people to release the No. 1 test article, and the results will be verified soon."
Baan spread his hands and said with a smile: "But the main reason why I came to call you is to invite you to watch a good show. The actors are already in place, just waiting for us, the audience!"
"Oh? Has the celestial gunner already come here? I wonder what it will be like when she faces the mechanical beast she made!" His Majesty the Emperor said with great interest.
"That's the main show, but before that there's an appetizer!" Barn said with a smile: "The children who left here alive five years ago seem to be back today. Don't you want to go see them?"
"Child?" His Majesty the Emperor was stunned for a moment, his face immediately turned gloomy, and he asked, "Is Tianyi here too?"
"He is here, but he didn't come in. He was still outside. What came in was a little mouse, and the girls around Cyrus and Tianyi!" Barn replied with a normal expression.
His Majesty the Emperor hesitated for a moment, then asked unwillingly: "Have you not found out the origin of Tianyi yet? Could it be that there are no clues about Claire and Aisha who are related to him?"
"It can't be found out at all, it's like it appeared out of thin air!" Barn sighed helplessly and said: "The first time Tianyi appeared was at the border of the empire. The first time Aisha appeared was in the territory of Xu Motherland. As for the
That Claire, she seems to have come out of the Canyon of the Dead, she is really scary!"
His Majesty the Emperor frowned in a rare way, his eyes fluctuated violently, and finally he jumped up and left the bath. The water droplets all over his body immediately turned into steam and drifted away. He said in a deep voice: "Forget it, let them go! As long as it doesn't affect my plan, forget it.
It doesn’t matter if he wants to seize the empire!”
Barn nodded slightly and followed the Emperor out of the bathroom. His expression remained unchanged, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, as well as a trace of intense expectation...
The original testing ground is now a jungle full of dangers.
Cyrus led Natalia and others through the entrance of the canyon and entered the testing site. Before he could search for Kelly's whereabouts, he was attacked by a group of bloody cat monsters.
There were only a dozen or so cat monsters in number, but their speed and strength were far superior to those of senior swordsmen. One sneak attack scratched Cyrus's arm.
Today, Cyrus is already a high-level swordsman. When converted into a game level, he is probably above level 45 and less than level 50, which is the fourth level.
Cyrus had experienced the battle to aid the dwarves before and fought against the spider army, and it was during that battle that he grew up.
Coincidentally, Natalia and others followed Ying Tianyi to conquer the Sky City, and experienced more battles than Cyrus, and even had a head-on collision with the fearless Destroyer Legion.
Even without Ying Tianyi's advantage of absorbing experience points to upgrade, Natalia and other nine swordsman girls are now on the verge of awakening. As long as they have an opportunity to break through, everyone is almost stronger than
Cyrus is slightly stronger.
Seeing that Cyrus was scratched on the arm by the bloodthirsty cat demon, Eunice, who had a rather vicious mouth, couldn't help but mocked: "Oh, our General Cyrus can't even beat a kitten!"
As the deputy leader of the Empire's elite knights, Cyrus naturally also holds the title of general, but the tone in which Eunice addressed her was definitely not respect, but ridicule.
"Eunice, destroy the monster first!"
Natalia held the artifact giant sword "Grand, the Chosen Sword", and made a gesture to draw the sword. Then the sword flashed, and three huge sword energies swept out, knocking down all the cat demons approaching.
repel.
This is the signature skill of the swordsman, "Three Ultimate Slashes of Instant Shadow". After long-term study, Natalia has already mastered the skill and can even launch three sword energy separately.
The nine swordsman girls, who have been eating, living and fighting together for a long time, have already developed a deep tacit understanding. As soon as Natalia took action, the others immediately found the attack target and swung a large sword at the same time.
gas.
Cyrus, who was walking at the front, just dodged the cat demon's second attack and transformed the sword in her hand into a long snake-belly sword. But when she was about to take action, she found that all the bloodthirsty cat demons blocking the way were all
Was chopped into pieces.
This discovery made Cyrus secretly shocked. She never thought that those delicate girls who used to hide behind Ying Tianyi had grown to such an extent that they seemed to be even stronger than her.
In fact, this is normal. Anyone who has experienced the endless battles in the Sky City will grow up quickly. Especially Natalia and others, whose bodies have been transformed by energy transfer, and their growth rate is far faster than ordinary people. After their wave,
With the explosion of skills, it's surprising that those cat monsters can survive.
Cyrus put away his weapon silently, lowered his head and began to search for any clues Kelly might have left.
She is not a person who likes to talk, so she will not care about Eunice's ridicule to her, but she also has a desire to compare in her heart, and is unwilling to be surpassed by Natalia and others.
However, Cyrus did not speak, but it did not mean that Eunice would let her go. She continued to taunt her in a sinister manner: "General Cyrus, when you return to this hellish place, do you remember anything from the past?"
What happened in the past?
What could it be?
Of course it was about five years ago, after the big explosion, they escaped from the test site together!
Natalia knew that Eunice was not the kind of person who liked to make trouble, but after entering this place, the pain in her heart was aroused and she was in urgent need of sexual intercourse.
The same goes for everyone else. As experimental subjects who were forcibly captured back then, all their family and friends died here. Only they were lucky and were pulled out of the pile of dead by Ying Tianyi.
Now that they have returned to their old place, the unhealed wounds in the hearts of the girls have opened again, and naturally they cannot bear it anymore. Therefore, Natalia did not ask Eunice to restrain herself. As long as there is no threat from monsters around, she can let her go.
In fact, Natalia volunteered to follow Cyrus into the testing ground, the purpose was to train the hearts of the girls, so that they could become stronger and eliminate the nightmares in their hearts.
As for herself, her twisted mind does not need to be corrected, she just needs to learn from Ying Tianyi...
Cyrus is good at tracking traces and is known as the "Hound" in the Imperial Army. This is the main reason why Princess Xilia agreed to hunt down Kelly.
He lowered his head and searched for a while on the ground, but found no clues left by Kelly. Cyrus looked up and observed the surrounding terrain, identified a direction to move forward, and said without looking back: "You are here to help me hunt down the fugitive."
Yeah, it’s best not to do anything irrelevant, don’t hinder me!”
"Hey, who do you think is in the way of who?" Cyrus finally replied, and Eunice naturally wouldn't let her go. She immediately jumped over and said with eyes wide open, "You're a loser who can't even beat the cat demon.
General, are you qualified to speak against us?"
"That's right!" Ingrid, who has a similar surname to Eunice, couldn't help but mock.
Cyrus suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Eunice expressionlessly. His hand on the hilt of the sword tightened slightly, but in the end he did not draw the sword.
As an excellent imperial soldier, no matter how angry she is, she will not be carried away by her anger. She always puts the interests of the empire first.
Eunice and the others are all members of Ying Tianyi, and Ying Tianyi is the prince of the empire. Regardless of their status or strength, they are an indispensable part of the empire. Cyrus will not completely fall out with them for personal reasons.
.
"Hey, will something happen if this happens?" Seeing Cyrus's cold face, as if he was suppressing his anger, the little cow Kalena gently pulled Natalia's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, it's okay!" Natalia said with a slight smile on her lips and narrowed her eyes: "She is a soldier. Unlike us little girls with arbitrary surnames, she neither dares nor will do anything selfish!"
Sure enough, as soon as Natalia finished speaking, Cyrus turned his head and continued on his way, completely ignoring Eunice's ridicule.
Eunice was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She had always wanted to find an opportunity to teach Cyrus a lesson, or even kill her, the imperial lackey, but she couldn't find the right time.
Of course, if she is really asked to kill Cyrus, she will also worry about Ying Tianyi's feelings. After all, Cyrus is also Ying Tianyi's woman. If Ying Tianyi is angered, Eunice will never do it.
I will forgive myself.
In the hearts of these girls, Ying Tianyi is their closest relative and an irreplaceable existence. Even if they die themselves, they do not want to see Ying Tianyi injured even a hair...
The team continued to move forward, looking for traces of Kelly along the slopes outside the basin.
Cyrus led the way silently, while Eunice stared at her back, her eyes rolling around, not knowing what she was thinking.
Natalia always had a faint smile on her face, which was very similar to the face Ying Tianyi usually disguised, and no one could tell what she was thinking.
Encountered several more attacks from the cat demon. Under the angry looks of Eunice and the others, Natalia actually helped Cyrus resist the cat demon's attacks and was even almost injured. This made Eunice and others very angry.
and doubts.
Not to mention Eunice and the others, even Cyrus was a little confused and didn't understand why Natalia, who was supposed to be against her, wanted to help her.
Seeing the confusion in Cyrus's eyes, Natalia smiled slightly and said, "I am also a soldier of the Empire now. This should be enough reason, right?"
Cyrus was silent for a moment, did not speak, and continued to lead the way.
The smile on Natalia's lips became even brighter, and it was somewhat meaningful, making it even more difficult for people to understand.
After searching until dark, there was still no trace of Kelly, but more and more cat demons were encountered.
In the constant fighting, Cyrus gradually got used to having Natalia helping him, and was no longer suspicious, but he was still cautious.
Finally, more than two hours after it became completely dark, Cyrus found the bodies of some cat monsters. They were not the ones who killed these cat monsters, so there was no doubt that someone else must have passed by.
And this is a military base. Ordinary people can't get in at all, and they won't get in. Except for Kelly, the fugitive who "has no choice but to choose his way out", it's unlikely to be anyone else.
In the dark night of the test site, dim blue light floated in the air, which was substantial transfer energy, providing illumination for the search work.
Perhaps because they carry the transfer energy themselves, Cyrus, Natalia and others not only are not affected in any way here, but feel like a fish in water. Even the vision in the dark becomes brighter and wider.
With the newly discovered body of the cat demon, Cyrus's senses were fully activated. He determined the direction of Kelly's escape in a short while and led the team in pursuit.
At the same time, Kelly and Di A were hiding in the cave.
After receiving supplies of ammunition and changing her clothes, Kelly couldn't help but lie down to sleep after eating and drinking.
Ti Ya also had nothing to do, so she also leaned to the side to rest.
They had no idea that someone outside had already discovered their traces and was looking for them step by step.
In the opposite direction, there was also a figure, completely integrated into the darkness, rushing towards this direction.
It's just that the figure's luck didn't seem to be very good. In the direction she was heading was the stronghold established by Hell Goblin Ivan. If she didn't change direction, she would run into a large group of Hells in no more than an hour.
Goblin...
"Dingling bell..."
At the same time, in the camp outside the testing site, Ying Tianyi, who had had dinner, was communicating through spiritual communication with someone he sent out to protect Natalia.
Suddenly, a clear and melodious ringing sound sounded, and it gradually approached here.
Not long after, the bell came to the side of the camp. Perhaps it was stopped by the soldiers on duty, and the bell disappeared for a while.
Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion outside and the sound of rapid footsteps rushing towards the carriage.
Princess Xilia was holding Ying Tianyi, telling him the glorious history of the empire while enjoying Ying Tianyi's sex.
Hearing the strange ringing sound coming from far away, she immediately got up and got dressed, ready to go out and take a look.
However, before Xilia could get out of the carriage, a messenger soldier hurried over. He seemed to be greatly frightened, and reported with some stuttering: "Qi... Your Highness, Princess Qi, outside... there is a businessman coming outside, and...
…and a dragon!”
"Huh?" Helia was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some confusion: "What did you say? Who is here?"
The messenger kneeling outside the carriage swallowed hard and said loudly: "It's a businessman, and there is a... dragon!"
One side of the camp has become noisy. You can clearly hear the footsteps of soldiers gathering and the sound of various weapons being raised. It is obvious that something is wrong there and the soldiers have begun to be on guard.
"Businessman? Dragon?" Xilia blinked her eyes, feeling that her mind was a little confused.
Businessmen are very common and can be found all over the world. But dragons... are not common on the mainland, and ordinary people will never even see them in their lifetime.
With a bunch of question marks on her head, she really wanted to ask the soldier if he saw it wrong or if he said it wrong. But when she heard the sound of footsteps outside and the sound of weapons being unsheathed, Iron-Blooded Princess Xilia reacted immediately
, grabbed the weapon and rushed out without hesitation...
ps: Huanyue-sama has worked very hard, and it took a long time to code the words well, but sister-in-law is not satisfied and asked me to revise it several times. It is really troublesome to intersperse clues like this, and it consumes too many brain cells.
Yes, Master Huanyue said very tiredly, although most of them were dictated by my sister...
Also, sister, I was wrong, and I will never talk nonsense again... (To be continued.)
