Act 87: Shadow of Death i

Viewed from above, the entire city is immersed in silent darkness. In the North City, there are still shadowy cavemen active, but the central area of ​​the old city is dead silent. Looking further south, a team is walking along the endless road.

The illuminated streets move quickly.

"Faster! Don't give them a chance to react!" Medisa took the lead, like a ball of lightning silver flames, the flames swept across the long street, and the caveman patrol blocking the middle of the road fled in all directions.

As soon as she failed to dodge, she was caught in the soul flame carried by the spear in the hand of the little silver elf princess and burned into ashes; the elegant and tall unicorn galloped on the street, flying up and down with its four hooves carrying the soul flame,

It disappeared in a flash, leaving only a trail of fluorescent lights behind it.

Behind her were the White Lion Guards in charge formation, and then the Summer Solstice Knights. "Follow me, knights of the empire!" Bloomfield, the deputy commander of the Summer Solstice Knights, also roared: "

Go and clear a path for our allies, protect the left and right wings, and don't let the rats from the underground take advantage of it!" The Cruz Knights got their equipment back two days ago, and Brando invited them to fight for the empire.

Fighting, as the knights of the empire, they naturally have a duty to do so. Although they understand that they are still hostages, the Jorgandigan people are now the enemies of the empire. In comparison, the Eruin people and the Cruz people are not close to each other.

It showed the advantage.

As the saying goes, only when there is contrast, there is a gap.

After the knights cleared the way, there was the bloated team of the envoy. Except for a few nobles with military backgrounds who could keep up with the advance without saying a word, the rest of the pampered guys were almost surrounded by their own servants.

Pushing, dragging or carrying forward, there are a few particularly fat guys with long tongues, who 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 the consequences will be if they fall behind.

Members of Eruin's envoys rode horses. These were genuine war horses. Firstly, Brando was unwilling to waste Medisa's [Cavalry Preparation] card on these nobles. Secondly, he also summoned the heroic Pegasus.

The momentum was too great, and it was difficult not to attract attention, and the gain outweighed the loss - but the number of mounts was limited after all, and Roman's horse was currently carrying three people. She hugged the little daughter of Duke Golan-Elsen, and she also brought another one behind her.

Chiara, fortunately, the combined weight of the three of them may not be as much as that of Avram, and it is not difficult for these pure-blooded Cruz horses to carry them.

"Evram, you idiot, you went the wrong way, come back!"

"Don't hold on to the reins! Do you know how to ride a horse?"

"There are monsters leaking in from the left, Mr. Bloomfield, please stop those cavemen! Ah!" The businesswoman screamed in fright, and quickly lowered her small body to protect the little daughter, while avoiding the cavemen throwing her.

As the spear came over, she asked loudly: "Chiara, are you okay?"

"I...it's okay, Miss Roman." The representative of the Sifah family, the younger sister of His Royal Highness the eldest son, turned pale with fright. The spear almost flew past the tip of her nose, but she let out a breath and immediately

After calming down, there was only excitement in her light blue eyes: "Ms. Roman, there is a caveman over there. Come on, let's get closer and take a look! The book says that the skin of these monsters can change color according to the environment when they are alive.

, like a chameleon, I have never seen it before!"

"Okay!" Roman replied with interest upon hearing this.

"No!" The only normal person among the three, Golan Elson's little daughter Judy, was so frightened that she burst into tears: "Sister Roman, sister Chiara, let's run quickly, woo woo woo!"

The businesswoman was immediately in a dilemma. On the one hand, Kiara's words made her curious and unbearable. On the other hand, the tears in her arms made little Judith confused. After thinking for a moment, she finally came up with an answer that had the best of both worlds:

"Her Royal Highness Princess Magdalen, Unnie, come and help me!"

The Duke's daughter was sitting behind Sergeant Marjorie. When she saw this scene, she still didn't understand that this eldest lady had another strange idea. She snorted coldly and said: "Please respect yourself, Miss Roman."

, have you forgotten what the leader said?"

As for Princess Magdalen, the latter smiled slightly at her and then shook her head.

"Ah!" Roman seemed to have just remembered Brando's instructions, and suddenly showed a dejected look. And Kiara looked even more unhappy: "This annoying guy, then even if he owes us both lives,

The cavemen are fine, each has one head."

"Your Excellency, the debt you owe is quite bizarre." Eco couldn't help but said to Marjorie beside him when he heard this.

The non-commissioned officer from Yanilasu nodded with deep understanding.

Although there was a lot of noise in the envoy, the merchant lady had quite the demeanor of a caravan leader. Her incoherent shouting and screaming managed to keep the bloated team in order. At least with her reminder, so far,

No one has fallen behind, or any other unexpected situation has occurred - of course, the only headache for Bloomfield, the deputy commander of the Summer Solstice Knights, is that it would be great if the eldest lady could standardize the orders in her mouth.

, don’t put a businessman’s slang in two or three sentences. How could a noble knight like him understand that kind of thing?

The team moved forward, getting closer and closer to their destination. Finally, after turning the last street corner, the conspicuous sign of Lovis' Compass consisting of four arrows finally came into everyone's eyes.

"We're here!" Nasha, the inner court knight, couldn't help but cheer.

Medissa immediately raised her left hand and asked everyone to stop: "Teams 1 to 8 spread out and find shelters! Captain Bloomfield, let your people find cover! Miss Roman, let the envoys hide in the house!

"

"What's wrong?" Nasha was slightly stunned and looked at the elf princess with some confusion, not understanding what her order meant.

Bloomfield also looked here with a puzzled expression.

Only Roman looked at Medisa, and then immediately said to all the nobles behind him: "Quickly, hide in the house!"

In fact, the nobles behind have not passed the corner of the street at this time, and have no idea what is happening in front of them, but they have long been accustomed to the various strange orders of this business lady. Anyway, no matter how outrageous these orders sound, they always

It will be useful, such as ordering the team to stop inexplicably, or avoiding the ambush of the cavemen, or saying that going left instead of going right, but just avoiding the blocking force of the cavemen, just like there is a team named

The aura of 'miraculous luck' shrouded the eldest lady, and they had become accustomed to it all the way along.

As soon as Roman gave the order, these people all rushed towards the buildings on both sides with a crash as if it was a conditioned reflex, as neatly as if they had gone through several drills, which was staggering.

Fortunately, the owners of these houses had fled Greystone Town long before the war, so there were no unnecessary disputes.

When Bloomfield saw this scene, he also murmured in his heart. However, the leader of the Summer Solstice Knights also expressed enough admiration for Miss Roman's aura. Although he was doubtful, he also ordered his men to find cover. Everyone

After they all hid in the shadows on both sides of the street, within a moment, Medisa suddenly raised her head and looked into the night sky. Following her gaze, Bloomfield and Nasha also raised their heads. The nobles hiding in the house

Everyone also raised their heads and looked at the narrow sky above the street. The clear night sky in Andzlova 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 shadows on the earth.

A shadow.

The surroundings seemed to have become extremely quiet.

"What is that sound?" Knight Knight Nasha suddenly asked uneasily: "Did I hear it wrong?"

Bloomfield, the deputy leader of the Summer Solstice Knights, shook his head slightly, and he also heard it——

The sound of wind beneath the clouds.

In winter in Anzlova, there is a land and sea wind blowing from the floating cloud hills to the high inland sea. When this wind passes through the pine forest between the vast mountains of Andzlova, it will make a roaring sound of pine waves. This sound echoes in the quiet night.

, like a poem or a song. But at this moment, this long poem between heaven and earth seems to be recited by another voice. This voice gradually becomes high-pitched, like a morbid, paranoid and flushed madman shouting loudly.

Reading each paragraph of it word by word, 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 watched dumbfoundedly as the airflow flowing through the night sky suddenly changed.

It can be seen with the naked eye. Along with the sharp whirring sound, there are constant sounds of something being knocked down to the ground from far and near. These sounds gather together, like signs before the end, which is fascinating.

In an instant, Medissa narrowed her eyes.

Everyone who looked up at the sky like her saw a huge shadow passing through the clouds like a fish, passing over Greystone Town, and what followed was that

An unparalleled power pressed down from mid-air.



‘Bang.’ The metal disc in Nymesis’s hand shimmered under the moonlight, a treasure whose value could not be estimated with mortal eyes. Suddenly it fell out of her hand and fell to the ground.

Brando looked at the female knight strangely. With Nimesis's strength, she would never be able to hold an object steadily. Moreover, he knew very well how much the other party understood the value of this metal disc and would never be careless.

Missed. Nymesis frowned and looked at the disc on the ground. She did not bend down to pick it up. Instead, she looked at the metal disc on the marble steps with a puzzled look.

It trembled slightly and made a buzzing sound, as if an invisible hand was controlling it to dance.

The five eyes present met on the metal disk, but after a moment, they raised their heads again.

Brando was the first to see the clouds speeding up under the night sky.

"Holy shit! Why is there such a thing? Hurry, hide in the temple!" His expression changed, he picked up Tiya and rushed back to the temple. The wild elf sister was caught off guard and frightened.

Scream.

Nymesis's reaction was a little slow, but she immediately bent down to pick up the metal disc, and followed her in a flash; followed by Yuta, although the female mercenary leader didn't understand what was happening at all, but she saw

Seeing the strange scene that suddenly appeared in the sky above Andzlova, I also realized what had happened, and subconsciously followed Brando's pace. Finally, it was Fro, the wild elf sister who picked up the cane that her sister had dropped on the ground.

Then she walked into the temple unhurriedly, handed the cane to her frightened sister, and then rolled her eyes at her lord.

It's a pity that Brando didn't notice her gaze at all at this moment. He and Nymesis were looking nervously at the sky outside the temple.

The clouds are moving westward——

The howling wind seemed to suppress all sounds, and the whole world seemed to turn into silence in another sense. Silently, a black shadow passed over the clouds, its outstretched wings covering the moon and stars.

The light cast a dim shadow over the gray stone town. Yuta and Tiya's eyes widened at the same time, and they didn't even notice when they opened their mouths. Just after that black shadow, another one followed.

It was the second black shadow, one behind the other, slowly crossing most of the night sky.

Juta felt her throat gurgling loudly, and her heart seemed to be beating out of her chest. When she smiled for a moment, she almost felt the blood in her whole body surge, as if every hair on her head stood on end.

Tiya also held the hand of her lord brother tightly, without even realizing it. She stared at the sky tightly, her emerald green eyes sparkling.

There is a legend in Warnd. It is said that if someone sees the shadow of a dragon passing through the sky under the clouds, it will prove that in the near future, a child will be born under the care of the dragon. This is the blood talent - the dragon.

The origin of the shadow.

However, in fact, since the passing of the golden age, few people have seen real dragons on the earth.

Adult dragon.

This is by no means a young dragon like Aloz, Frofa, and Star who came out to experience, or were expelled from the Dragon Valley. This is the real, 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, moon, stars and everything else. When they soar in the clouds, they are like swimming fish in the sky. The sky is their ocean. They

He is the ruler of the sky.

"Dragon..." The female mercenary leader took a long time to say this word.

"It's a black dragon." Nymesis further added.

"I know these two dragons," Brando said, his face was terrifyingly gloomy: "Modesti and Malthus."

"Who are they, Brother Brando?" Tiya asked with some fear.

"The Sinful Dragon, the expelled black dragon, they are one of the five supreme city lords of Qiaogendigang, and they are here too."

"Those traces of ashes in Bear Lake." Nymesis suddenly remembered and reminded her in a low voice.

"It's the Qiujianglong beast." Brando shook his head: "It's a pity that I have never seen this top-notch creature in Qiaogendigang, otherwise I would have recognized it at the time."

"Are they... here for this thing?" Yuta asked, staring at the metal disc in Nymesis's hand. Her face was still a little pale, as if her breathing had not been smooth yet, coming from the intimidation of the dragon.

Youruo Zhen, if she hadn't been next to Brando just now, she would have almost screamed in fright. But after calming down a little, she immediately 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 thing..."

He glanced at Nymesis and saw the same meaning in her eyes, so he changed his words and said: "The Tanservant must have made a temporary decision, no..." He shook his head again: "It's not at a high level, it should be

That's what the lizard king meant, but they haven't realized the value of this thing yet, otherwise they wouldn't have kept it so casually for us to get it."

He took a deep breath and then said: "But you are right, Jutta, they will not easily come to the surface world. These two big guys must have some intention."

"Lord Lord?"

Brando smiled bitterly. Fortunately, he was alert beforehand and threw the Sword of the Earth into Amman's dimensional cave. Now he can finally be sure that the inexplicable connection before came from

Where.

At the same time, he probably also figured out something.

What is the real purpose of Qiao Gendigang.



The shadow of the dragon is fading away.

Medisa breathed out gently. Behind her, almost all the Cruz nobles collapsed on the ground in fear. Chiara also looked white and out of breath. Some people even screamed before,

Fortunately, the merchant lady quickly cast a silent witchcraft, and the envoys were able to escape the unthinkable disaster. However, the worst among them all was Avram and Judith, the Duke's daughter, who fainted from fright and were left in a state of disarray.

Province.

"Then...what is that?" Ouni could almost hear the rattling sound of her upper and lower teeth chattering.

"Dragon... it's a dragon." Chiara took a small breath, her light blue eyes seemed to be gradually regaining their luster. She was scared to death, but she was also excited to death: "That's a real giant dragon!"

"Shut up!" Medisa turned around and ordered sternly: "Don't make any sound!"

The stern look on the little silver elf princess even startled Roman, who had never seen her like this before.

Medissa quickly sighed and whispered: "If you don't want to die, don't talk. You have no idea how terrifying the real dragon is."

In any case, her words still had the right effect, and those Summer Solstice Knights and White Lion Guard soldiers who could still speak obediently shut their mouths.

But just as the silence spread, an unexpected voice suddenly sounded in the middle of the night——

"Don't throw it away!"

The voice came from afar, followed by a second furious shout.

"Damn, close your eyes!"
