Chapter 5 Fighting in Suiyang City

The "Spiral Trident" defeated the three shields, and then was consumed by the fourth shield. The orange-red light turned into countless light spots and dissipated in the air. The enemy's formation was not at all chaotic, and quickly retreated towards Suiyang City. "Concentrate the firepower and leave one," amid Elliot's command, the Stewart brothers and sisters sprinkled a barrage like rain. The silver snake arrow of the small grasshopper in the rain of bullets shot out, bypassing the bright yellow light shield like life, piercing through the thigh of the last enemy.

"Um..." A depressing muffled groan came, and the injured fell to the ground. After only a moment of slowing down, he was already left far behind by his companions. The rest did not turn around at all, and still maintained a neat formation and flew away quickly, looking like a strange life form with seven heads and fourteen legs.

The black shadow condensed behind the enemy, and the sharp blade appeared on his neck, the skin was gently cut, and blood flowed down the blade, and the woman emerging from the shadow attached to his ear and whispered: "Don't move, otherwise..."

"Be careful," Suddenly a thick vine broke out from the ground, rolled Long Ji up in the waist and lifted it into the air. Just as the Rose Knight used plant magic to push away the Eastern woman, a beam of flying light exploded on the injured person's chest, shattering the entire body of the man. His limbs and internal organs were flying all over the sky, and blood was sprinkled down like a red rain.

The flames of the grassland gradually faded, and the friends standing on the scorched earth looked at each other, "Look, the lame Henry should be fine," Danny blew away the light smoke from the muzzle of the magic pistol and pointed to the sky and said, sure enough, a huge star that was much dim and slid into the sky again, flashing into the clouds. Although it was severely damaged, as long as the genius steam puppet warlock is there, the airship will soon be restored to its original state. Jonah finally felt relieved and patted her chest.

Elliott poked out his lance and picked up a broken limb: "Please look at this tattoo, Lord Jonah,"

"It's them, the crimson two-headed bird tattoo, it's the people of the Red Owl Brotherhood," the astrology warrior held back his disgust and looked at it, nodding for sure. He was very familiar with the pattern on the charred wrist. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in the Eastern Continent, the womb-like fraternity member appeared in front of him.

"If you have time, you need to seriously consider the purpose of the Brotherhood," said the Rose Knight thoughtfully. "They should have received information from Lord Jonah to the Eastern Continent, so they launched an ambush on the airship. However, due to the terrain, the enemy did not see the airship landing outside Suiyang City, and launched an attack when the "Lame Henry" passed over the city. If we were still on the ship... unimaginable."

"When did I start to get into such a troubled opponent," Danny raised an eyebrow and said, "If I had known that following you was so dangerous, I might as well reassess the feasibility of staying with the little cutie...Oh,"

Stewart's contemporary head cut off his brother's nonsense, held up his big gun and asked, "Where are we going now,"

The Stewart brothers and sisters looked at the young astrologist together with Sibby. Jonah couldn't help but speak, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment. He had always played a passive role, led by his partners, enemies, prophets and listeners to one destination after another, but now it was his turn to make his decision. The vast Eastern continent spread out in front of him, and Jonah couldn't even say a direction, "Well, go to the city first to find a place to live," he said hesitantly.

"Although I'm very worried about you," Elliot sighed, hanging his gun back to the hook beside the unicorn, "but we must leave, Miss Longji,"

The Eastern woman took a step in silence, stepped on a piece of slippery flesh and blood. Her movement paused. The woman turned slightly, facing the center of the world, with a confused expression on her face. On the left was a wide field, at the end of the field was a river with thunderstorms, and the other side of the river was the continent where war had just started. On the continent where war had just started, there was the man she had longed for day and night; on the right was the silent ancient city of Suiyang, the city under the starlight looked majestic and cold, and I don’t know how many unknown dangers were contained in it. Between the two road marks that were running contrary to each other, the pale boy in a blue robe stood. The weather-beaten boy had an adult resolute expression on his face, but his eyes were filled with childlike innocence.

"Elie, we... leave tomorrow," Long Ji said softly.

"Of course, Miss Longji," as if she had been waiting for this order, the blonde knight bowed and greeted, took off her helmet and smiled. "Sister Longji," Sibi jumped over and hugged the Oriental woman in her arms. The little grasshopper had long wanted to beg her two friends to stay and not leave, but she knew that the indescribable inner demon of this dear sister would sooner or later separate them. Staying one more day would be considered a gift.

"So, Ellie, where are we going now?" The 17-year-old boy breathed a long sigh, not daring to look at Long Ji's eyes, lowered his head and secretly wiped the sweat from his palms with the corner of his clothes.

The Rose Knight had already made a decision and pointed his hand to the northeast: "There is there, we go to the tower 'Lizhu',"

The night was silent, and the enemy did not appear again. Not far from the grassland, a broken body appeared beside the road. "It is true," Elliot said without surprise. "There will not be a single victim in the Saints of Thebes. Once a member dies, his partner must also leave the team. The meaning of separation is death,"

Jonah was mixed with emotion. He missed this feeling very much. When he was at Cherry Ferry, no matter what problems he faced, the Rose Knight could give accurate answers with rich knowledge and extraordinary experience. The Wandering Knight was not old. Jonah didn't know where he learned so much. Perhaps there was no lack of knowledge inheritance in the ancient bloodline of the King of the Red Clay Plains. "Elie, what is the Saints of Thebes," the astrology asked frankly. This term was strange to him and other partners.

"How to say it," the Rose Knight showed a difficult look: "The Holy Team of Thebes is an ancient legend of the Ebenezer Republic in the Western Continent. Several centuries ago, the Ebenezer people invented this attack formation in a group of three hundred people, and won many victories in the war in the Western Continent. The principle is to arrange the formation into a circle, and the members with the strongest offensive and defensive strength are on the outside. The internal responsibility for long-range attack and command. When contacting the enemy, the formation will roll and crush the enemy formation like a wheel. To accomplish this, the team members must have a very high degree of tacit understanding. Ebenezer's solution is... The three hundred people Thebes Saint Team of Thebes is composed of one hundred and fifty couples."

"Half of them are female soldiers," Yona said frightened.

Danny suddenly laughed: "Wow, you are so simple as a cargo friend. I believe that the Knights are talking about one hundred and fifty pairs of homosexual lovers, right? The love between men is the unbreakable bond. This holy team is indeed amazing."

Elliott affirmed: "Mr. Danny is right, that's it. The tacit understanding between homosexual couples is very amazing. However, in modern times, the Ebenezer dynasty was overthrown by revolutionaries. The left-wing People's Liberation Army established the Ebenezer Republic, transforming it into one of the most tough countries in the Western Continent with homosexual attitudes. Before the war began, the Republic basically executed hundreds of homosexual pairs every year. This is the reason why the two Omikron Homma and Sigma Tree Snake of Cherry Ferry fled the Republic. May their souls rest in the Kingdom of Heaven."

"The atmosphere in the Southern Continent is completely different. If they were born in the Southern Continent, would they still live happily in the same place now?" The astrology sages, thinking of these two men who died in the Miracle Grassland, couldn't help but sigh.

"And the enemy I encountered today applied the principles of Thebes Saint Team, and completed this formation with only eight people, showing outstanding strength. In the east, this formation may have another name., No matter what, once a soldier in the holy formation dies, his partner must be expelled, because it will affect the operation of the entire holy formation, which is roughly like this," concluded the Rose Knight.

"It's great to have you, Ellie," Jonah suddenly spoke.

Elliott smiled warmly at this.

While speaking, the group walked around the ancient city of Suiyang and headed towards the high tower on the east side of the city. As the distance shortened, the huge tower that was so vast that it was clearer. "Wow, I can't see the head at all," Sibi tried to raise his head, but he couldn't see the spire no matter what.

"Do you remember that Daddy Dead told us the story of the Eastern Tower of Heaven?" Danny suddenly turned his head and asked his sister beside him.

"Yes," Hannah replied thoughtfully, "that was when we were very young. He said that there were six great powers in the east, and each country had a giant tower that was so high that it could not be seen clearly. No one knew who built these tower towers. From the day of history, the towers stood on this mysterious continent. War, disaster, regime change. For the tower, it was said that this was an insignificant game. According to legend, each tower top had a weapon containing the soul of the divine beast suppressed. Once someone climbed to the top and took away the weapons, the prehistoric beasts sealed underground by the six tower towers would be resurrected and destroyed the whole world."

"Ahhaha, there's nothing wrong, you remember it really clearly, destroying the whole world, hahaha...hehe...hehe...huh..." The man from the Stewart family laughed loudly, but the laughter gradually weakened in the cold eyes of the Eastern woman, and eventually became a humming sound in her mouth.

"Don't underestimate the legend," Long Ji said with a sensible expression. "Many legends are real, but the self-righteous adults chose not to believe it. The six towers of the sky really hide the secrets of the world."
