It was the sunniest time of the day, and the huge square in front of the spacious and majestic City Hall was already occupied by a sea of citizens, crowded and motionless. Groups of heavily armed city guards holding long halberds were pushing and shoving desperately.
, so that the huge open space in the center of the square was not swallowed up by the surging crowd.
It's just early spring, and the breeze still carries a hint of chill. Despite this, the city guards responsible for maintaining order are still tired, their armor is crooked, and they are sweating profusely.
The citizens crowded in the square, both men and women, were holding bouquets of delicate and beautiful flowers in their hands. They stood on tiptoes, built arbors with their hands, and looked desperately towards the end of the sky, as if waiting for something. And there, under the blue sky
, except for a few white clouds floating leisurely, there is nothing worth noting.
On both sides of the city hall, groups of demon-hunting knights with bright armor were facing each other at a distance from the Lord Guards on the other side. Although the two sides were not at war with each other, the atmosphere was still solemn and solemn compared to the square below.
Whenever the demon-hunting knights perched high on the demon horse glanced across the way, there would be a trace of imperceptible contempt in their eyes. And when their eyes moved to the distant sky, there would be a hint of expectation hidden in their eyes.
excitement in.
Compared with the ordinary city guard, this lord's guard belonging to the Grand Duke of Lingtong is already said to be strong and powerful, but the war horse under their crotch is obviously not as good as the demon hunting knight's magic horse.
, both in terms of size and ferocity, they are all very different.
If you also consider the equipment of rune weapons, then the gap between the Lord Guard and the Demon Hunter Knights is even greater to the point of being almost irreparable.
In this continent of knights, only those who have sworn allegiance to His Majesty the King and passed the demon-hunting knight assessment may obtain standard weapons such as magic horses and rune weapons. These are all firmly controlled by the central state, and the outside world
It is difficult to obtain on a large scale, so the Demon Hunter Knights have become the most powerful knight force in the Knight Continent.
Since all demon-hunting knights consider themselves to be knights under His Majesty the King, they do not recognize the leadership of local nobles when they are stationed or performing tasks in various places. Therefore, every year, local nobles and demon-hunting knights fight due to legal reasons.
Quan has caused countless disputes.
This also leads to armed conflicts between local nobles and demon-hunting knights often due to intensified conflicts. It is normal for both parties to hate each other!
The slight hostility shown between the people below did not affect the handshakes and joyful exchanges between the top leaders of both parties.
In the spacious and bright city hall, the long table used for municipal meetings has been moved to the side of the hall. At this moment, it is filled with fragrant food and drinks. Exquisite stir-fried foie gras, topped with sauce.
Steak, perfectly golden lamb grilled...
However, at this moment, no one paid attention to these banquet delicacies. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the appearance of those big shots.
At the entrance of the hall, nearly a hundred guys wearing the standard armor of the Spellbreaker Knights stood straight in two rows, looking up. Behind them, a dozen glorious knights were gathering together, talking in low voices.
According to the strength evaluation standards of the Wizarding Continent, these glorious knights can be regarded as terrifying powerhouses that have reached level 2. However, today, they are still not the protagonists, but just members of the anxiously waiting crowd.
As a level 2 professional among the demon hunting knights, the Radiant Knight is of course much more powerful than the Spell-Breaking Knight. The Spell-Breaking Knight usually wears a full set of knight armor, which can cover most of his body in hard armor.
under.
With the rune armor's physical and demonic resistance, the defense of the Spell-Breaking Knights has reached an extremely astonishing level. In the few evil wars that broke out in the Knights Continent, the Spell-Breaking Knights often resisted the spells of the evil ones.
Attack, rush to them and cut them down one by one.
Therefore, one can imagine how high their defense power is!
Compared with the Spellbreaker Knight, the Radiant Knight's armor area has shrunk tremendously.
The exquisite and gorgeous armor is no longer a bulky full-body armor, but a detachable armor part. It can only simply cover a few vital parts such as the chest, abdomen, crotch, shoulders, and upper arms. In order to maintain flexibility in combat,
Due to the nature and agility of his movements, the rest of the Radiant Knight's body is either covered by soft armor, or simply left exposed.
If the Spell-Breaking Knights only used rune energy as weapons and armor, then the Radiant Knight has reached the point of using rune energy to strengthen the physical body.
The few armor parts on the Radiant Knights are engraved with some mysterious patterns with unpredictable effects. Whenever they encounter an enemy, they only need to activate these runic arrays to draw power from the runic energy, thereby allowing themselves to
Become a powerful Rune Knight.
The reason why they are called radiant knights is because once they introduce rune energy into their bodies, their entire bodies will emit a faint fluorescence like magic weapons. At that moment, they are equivalent to a humanoid magic weapon.
A rampaging magic sword also needs armor? No! At that time, they only need to attack, attack, and attack again...
The anxious crowd has been waiting since sunrise until now, but no one is slacking off or dissatisfied. Even the always calm and composed Grand Duke of Lington is pacing back and forth quickly in the city hall at the moment, standing still and looking out from time to time.
Look at the distant sky.
Obviously the protagonist of today's welcome banquet is a big shot with enough weight that even the Grand Duke can only look forward to it and silently endure the torment of waiting!
Finally, while everyone was waiting anxiously, the clear ringing of the alarm bell came from the sentry tower on the distant city wall.
Everyone couldn't help but feel refreshed, and they all built awnings with their palms and looked towards the west.
Coming!
It’s really here!
Today is a good day with clear skies. At some point in the distance, two imperceptible black dots appeared at the end of the sky.
Without even half a cup of hot tea, the two small black spots became bigger and bigger.
In the distance, a loud dragon's roar came faintly like rolling thunder, making everyone who heard it feel dizzy and trembled.
However, before they could slowly appreciate the origin of this inexplicable palpitation, two black spots had already arrived in the sky above Hedulan City, displaying their majestic and majestic bodies in front of everyone.
These are two terrifying green dragons with a body length of more than 20 meters. If the long tail with a spindle-shaped end and covered with bone thorns dragged behind them is added, I am afraid that the heads and tails of these two green dragons will be
Able to reach an astonishing thirty meters.
The jaws are full of sharp fangs like crocodiles, the tall and angular facial bone lines, and the layers of emerald green fine dragon scales perfectly cover every part of the body. The terrifying dragon claws under the body are thick and powerful.
The sharp end shone with a fascinating cold light.
The common green dragons in the ordinary material plane only have one pair of wings, but the green dragons in this knight plane are very rare to have two pairs of wings. This will undoubtedly give them a more terrifying flying speed!
When the green dragon's huge body hovered over the square, its huge olive-colored eyes looked down at the densely packed human heads below it, it couldn't help but raise its neck again and let out a loud dragon roar that shook the world.
The rolling dragon's power is spreading down!
The crowd in the square immediately became commotion.
Many timid women, children and children let out shrill screams, and the crowd became a little confused.
It seems that he has a different hobby of creating chaos. A strange light shines in the depths of the green dragon's eyes, and he is obviously quite satisfied with his "masterpiece". Jefferson, who is riding on the back of the green dragon, looks dumbfounded.
expression.
As the only three dragon knights in the Knights Continent, Jefferson once drove the green dragon Isendre to visit countless human cities. Every time he saw a dense crowd, this hateful green dragon who had just grown up would play games.
Such a skill. From this point of view, it is not unreasonable for many ancient books to classify the green dragon as an evil dragon!
Jefferson reached out and patted the green dragon's long neck, and then gestured to Kalek on the other green dragon. The two green dragons swooped down at the same time, flapping their broad flesh wings and landed in the center of the square.
.
When the giant dragon landed, the strong wind whipped up by the flapping of its fleshy wings was comparable to a small storm. The people who were closer were blown around, and the flowers in their hands and the gauze hats on their heads seemed to have grown wings. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.
There was no trace.
The dark crowd had been waiting for so long just to catch a glimpse of the majestic dragon. Now they suddenly saw the terrifying figure lying in the square, as tall and powerful as a mountain of flesh, and everyone was so frightened that they held their breath.
He didn't even dare to express his anger.
The knights who had been waiting for a long time in the city hall and the nobles of Hedulan City filed out, welcoming the arrival of the two great dragon knights with warm applause and hot eyes.
The scene was very lively for a while.
However, just as the two parties were shaking hands and congratulating each other, at the long alley in the distance, several cloaked men hidden among the crowd were watching everything happening in the square with hot and greedy eyes.
After welcoming everyone into the city hall, several cloaked figures winked at each other and sneaked into an adjacent alley.
"Now not only the glorious knights have appeared, but also the dragon knights. This information must be reported to Lady Mary as soon as possible!"
"Okay, I'll set off right away. You guys continue to keep an eye here. Once those two dragon knights make any big moves, you must report them immediately..."
"Yes, I understand..."
"You should leave quickly and be careful on the road..."
After a quick conversation and discussion, a cloaked man took advantage of the chaos in the city and sneaked out of Hedulan City. It wasn't until he came to a deserted place that he transformed into a vampire bat and soared into the sky in a sudden burst of black smoke.
He got up and flew quickly towards Lanqiu City, which was 400 miles away.
