The night breeze was cool, and on the distant blurry horizon, a winding dragon immersed in silence appeared.
As a seaport city, Hero City is not actually directly connected to the Endless Sea. There is a long land route from the coast of the Endless Sea to Hero City.
Why was the city built like this?
All because of the war with Pandaria five hundred years ago.
Compared to a Hero City built on land, which is very vulnerable to attacks from Pandaria's undead fleet and is close to the sea, Hero City will always have a little more time to react if Pandaria invades.
Although the Hero City has been at peace for a long time, and its military role has gradually been replaced by the military fortress guard city where the Hades Marine Corps is stationed, it still maintains the characteristics of a military fortress, including a city wall as thick and solid as a giant dragon.
The frame is made of limestone, and the wall is made of magic stone with high hardness and excellent magic resistance. The city wall is about 20 meters high and 8 meters wide, like a black dragon Great Wall, guarding the prosperity and tranquility of the city.
Passing through a small forest, the blurry outline of Hero City emerged before our eyes.
Vlad, who was riding on the back of the little white donkey Bayik, couldn't help but smile. He was about to turn around and say goodbye to the dwarf leader Andrei. After all, it had been such a long journey, and he saw that the Hero City was not far ahead.
Now, nothing is expected to happen, so it’s time to let Andre go back.
But at this moment, Mohu, who was sitting down with the tauren Tuom and the dwarf leader Andre, began to become restless, his paws kept lying on the soil on the ground, his ears stood straight up, and he let out a low roar from his mouth.
"Be careful, Your Highness."
Andre shouted, then turned to look at the small forest he just passed through. The tree shadows swayed in the breeze and the leaves made a rustling sound.
There was no chirping of insects or birds, only the monotonous sound of wind and the swaying of leaves.
At this time, the tauren also reacted, sniffed with his nose, stared at the shadow of the tree behind him with his blood-red eyes, and said to Vlad without hesitation, "Your Highness, I will escort you into the city under Lord Andre.
"
After saying that, he got off the tiger and handed the reins to Vlad, who looked confused.
We are about to arrive at the Hero City. Is there really going to be an assassination?
Vlad was a little unbelievable. Since when did assassinations become so blatant?
After looking at the majestic city just around the corner and looking at the perseverance under the blood-red eyes of the tauren Tuomu, Vlad knew that this was no joke.
At this moment, time passed by, and he seemed to have returned to the thrilling days from the imperial capital of Night City to the Territory City of Heroes, that hymn of blood and fire.
Vlad did not hesitate, got off the little white donkey, and with the help of the tauren Tuoom, got on the Mohu.
Mo Hu sniffed the scent of Vlad's body, and jumped about in a rage, about to throw Vlad off his back.
Maybe he was nervous, maybe he was calm, Vlad's hand held the reins tightly from beginning to end, and his other hand firmly pressed on the saddle.
Mo Hu's sudden riot did not throw him off.
Seeing that Mo Hu was disobedient at such a critical juncture, the tauren Tuoum's eyes were about to split, and he hit Mo Hu directly on the head with a fist filled with black energy. The force was powerful and heavy, and there was a muffled "bang" sound.
Then there was a pitiful cry, and Mo Hu felt dizzy. His huge body staggered, and he shook his huge tiger head, as if trying to wake up. A pair of tiger eyes looked at Tuomu with tears in his eyes.
"Beast, listen up, bring His Royal Highness safely to the city, or I will kill you!"
Mo Hu seemed to understand, but when he saw that the blood-red eyes of the tauren Tuomu were even more violent, and the suppressed roar coming from him, he lowered his head in grievance due to Tuomu's power.
Tauren Tuomu turned to the dwarf leader Andre and said, "Protect your highness."
The expression on the dwarf patriarch Andre's face changed several times, and finally he nodded silently.
Just at this moment, an extremely harsh scream sounded. The sound rippled through the air like a strong wave. It penetrated into Vlad's ears and shook his eardrums. He felt as if he was drunk.
It was heavy, then I felt a fishy-sweet sensation in my throat, and red blood began to flow out of my ears and nose.
"Is it the black witch?!"
"Go quickly! Protect His Highness!"
I saw two black figures walking out of the woods, one holding a staff and the other carrying a giant sword. Unfortunately, their faces were covered by black cloaks.
Of course, Vlad could no longer see the two of them. As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Hu received a big slap on the buttocks from the tauren Toompu. His buttocks hurt. He screamed strangely and flew towards the Hero City.
Flee away.
Feeling the whistling wind in his ears, and his hair being blown by the wind, Vlad felt his heart jump into his throat. He regretted a little, regretted his weakness. If he could reach the level of a two-star magic warrior, no, he only needed one star.
The Demon Fighter can take the Mohu instead of Bayik. Maybe he will have arrived at the Hero City by now.
In this way, he will not be assassinated, and the tauren Tuom will not be in danger again.
Vlad was concerned and confused. What he didn't know was that they had been targeted for a long time. Even if he was riding a black tiger and was much faster, wouldn't his assassins ambush them in advance?
The answer is of course no, this was a premeditated assassination after all.
Vlad wiped the blood on his face haphazardly, and the blood stained his face red for a moment, making him look particularly ferocious.
Then he tightened his grip on the reins and saddle. He seemed not to feel the bumps on Mo Hu's back, the coolness of the cold sweat on his forehead and back, the sound of the strong wind, or the sound of the tiger's hooves.
He stared at the Hero City that was getting closer and closer in front of him, listening to the rapid breathing of one person and one beast.
"I can see the general outline now. The City of Heroes should not be far away. There must be city guards on the city gate. My status is enough to order them to rescue Tuomu."
At this moment, a cold light flashed, and a huge noise appeared in front of Vlad. Vlad felt as if the earth was shaking.
I saw a huge sword shining with cold light thrust diagonally on the road ahead, sweeping up a cloud of smoke and dust.
The giant sword was extremely smooth, and the red moonlight reflected in it was particularly dazzling, which also made Vlad's heart skip a beat. Perhaps Mo Hu was affected by the aura coming from the sword's blade, and his speed actually slowed down.
Vlad didn't hesitate. He suddenly pulled out the dagger used by the nobles for decoration from his waist, and slashed at Mo Hu's back with all his strength. The blade of the sword passed by and cut off Mo Hu like a steel needle.
black hair, and at the same time scratched a shallow scar on Mo Hu's back.
The Mohu took the pain and let its instinct accelerate forward. Vlad quickly passed by the giant sword. From the beginning to the end, he did not take a second look at the giant sword stuck sideways in the night. His eyes were firm.
Look at the city wall of Hero City getting closer and closer.
Then, Vlad heard the voice of the dwarf leader Andre coming from behind him, "Your Highness, the Ghost Swordsman is coming. I, your Highness, will go to the City of Heroes to ask for help!"
Only then did Vlad take the time to look back, and saw an extremely tall black figure whose face was covered by a black cloak standing next to the giant sword.
Then there is the majestic back of the dwarf leader Andrei, who is sitting on the black tiger and carrying an ax.
Finally, there is the boundless black.
Vlad glanced briefly and turned his head. Then he tightened the reins, shook the dagger, and a drop of blood fell from the sword and was submerged in the soil. He put the sword back into its sheath and continued running towards the City of Heroes.
"I can see the lights on the city wall. Damn it, why haven't we arrived at the city gate yet?"
At this moment, a magnetic and deep female voice came to my ears, "Hehe, I've caught up with you, my dear Prince!"
