Among the endless crowd at the foot of the temple, two young men in white were crowded.
Seeing something strange suddenly appear on the stage, especially the strange black scythe flashing by, the two teenagers couldn't help but let out a surprised sound like the residents watching in front of them.
The black air mass seemed to be some kind of intelligent life form. "It" was very satisfied with the exclamations of millions of people in the audience, and then... "it" started a new action.
Gently, a hand as white as jade was poked out from the black mist. The long fingers paused for a moment, as if "it" thought of something, and seemed to think for a moment. Then, the fingers were clasped on the black mist,
Like lifting a door curtain, the black mist was gently lifted up...
The mist floated lightly, solidifying little by little, turning from light smoke to thick water, and finally, into black glass.
The white nephrite-like hand looked particularly dazzling in the black glass that reflected the light. With a little more force on the hand, cracks appeared in the black mist...
"Bang...wow...wow..." After a crisp sound, the black mist turned into countless fragments, which shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground under the bright sun...
"Ah..." Millions of onlookers simultaneously let out a burst of surprise.
Behind the black mist, there is a young and handsome young man with a face as white as jade, a straight nose, and slender eyebrows. His long black hair is simply tied from the middle by a black hairband, floating in the wind behind his back.
A black cloak fell straight down, and when he looked back at his face, which was like a jade carving, a strong cold aura flashed in his black pupils.
Among the sighs of millions of onlookers, there were three completely different voices.
"Brother Chi, why are you..." The blond king on the stage subconsciously took a step forward, his voice already trembling slightly.
"Deputy captain! It's the deputy captain! I told you that the deputy captain will not die!" The younger one of the two white-clothed boys excitedly took the older boy's hand, his face turned red, and he seemed about to jump.
Got up.
"You...you...take a closer look..." A drop of crystal clear tears slid down the face of the older boy in white, and the boy sniffed quietly...
The young man turned his head again and took a closer look, only to realize that the young man in black on the stage was actually half-suspended in the air. The moist wind gently lifted up his long black hair and black cloak... There was no levitation technique under his feet...
…
"No! It's impossible! Captain, I don't believe it!" Tears welled up in the young boy's eyes, and he desperately pushed the people around him away, trying to squeeze his way onto the stage!
…
Summer January 8th, Year 6 of the Magical Calendar.
Four dragon knights came to the front line of Rhode City in the Flower Language Plain - because there was no accurate information and the Flower Language Plain was too big. In addition, among the four dragon knights, there were two fourth-level golden dragon knights. Golden dragons belong to the earth element.
Among the six series of dragons, the flying speed is the slowest. Long and Ling Yun had to suppress the speed of the dragons to accommodate them. They asked questions all the way - starting from Gifu City where the Black Dragon Knights first appeared, and chasing them all the way to Rhodes City. A combination of circumstances and circumstances.
What's more, the Black Dragon Knights just left here a few days ago.
The four dragon knights looked down from the air. Within hundreds of miles of Rhodes City, dozens of villages all left traces of being engulfed by fire. It could be seen that Chi Aotian's army was having a bloody battle here. Long led four
The boy carefully explored several villages.
There were no living people in any of the villages, not even a single living thing - there were burned corpses in one village, and the village was also covered with traces of war, and a dark Imperial Army weapon was even found in it.
Standard helmet - if Long admits his mistake correctly, this is the equipment of the light knights of the Black Dragon Knights. In the other three villages, there was no war at all. It seemed that the villagers set fire to their homes.
What happened? The four people thought for a long time but couldn't find the reason. Moreover, there was no one nearby who could provide the whereabouts of Chi Aotian's army - Chi Aotian must have fought the biggest battle in this area in Rhode City.
In the battle, the dark city wall explained everything, but where did they go after that? It has been more than ten days since they left the Dragon Sealing Platform. I originally thought that riding a giant dragon in the air and having a bird's eye view of the earth would soon be
It was not difficult to find an army for the war, and Chi Aotian's army also had a large number of vulture knights. It was not difficult for both sides to find them, but they did not expect that it would be so troublesome.
As a last resort, Long and Ling Yun entered Rhode City as underground mercenaries on the grounds that they had completed the mercenary mission and returned to the city to hand over to the mercenary union. The sight in front of them still shocked the two of them, even though Long had experienced it personally
The veteran of many wars was also stabbed in the eye... Ling Yun clearly heard his father curse in a low voice: "Chi Aotian, this little bastard, kill evil, kill evil..."
At this time, Rhodes City had been completely taken over by more than 20,000 Holy See soldiers. Four rows of large pits were dug one after another in and around the city.
Thousands of low-level priests of the Holy See unloaded the white cloth from the carriage, and then moved the mutilated corpses from other rows of carriages. Each corpse was brushed with sesame oil and wrapped in white.
The shroud was placed in a big pit.
There were too many corpses, and since in most cases the entire village was massacred, no one claimed the corpses, let alone their names. Each life here became similar horizontal and vertical shapes.
Counting symbols - the difference is the simple epitaph in front of the pit: "13,987 heroic souls died in Rhode City"; "18,632 innocent citizens died in Gifu City"; "16,328 collaborators and rebels in Rhode City"; "6 Zaodao Town and others"
12,531 residents of the town were martyred”…
The numbers in front of each big pit were between 10,000 and 20,000. After walking less than half a circle around Rhode City, I saw that the total number of numbers marked had reached 170,000. There was a steady stream of numbers on several mainland roads where Rhode City converged.
There were also groups of carriages, each with a cross on it. It seemed that almost all the carriages were corpses.
The carriage procession could not be seen to the side at a glance.
The two dragon knights were not able to enter Rhodes City - a large hole was dug in the city, and corpses were also being buried.
Long found out in a roundabout way how Chi Aotian conquered Rhode City from the mouths of the local instructors.
Hearing that tens of thousands of residents were driven by Chi Aotian to participate in the siege battle, and that after the war, one hundred thousand residents were burned to the ground, Long and Ling Yun's faces were as pale as snow - the Chi Aotian in their memories was impossible
Chi Aotian would not be able to do such a thing even if the sins in the mouths of the Holy See soldiers were reduced 10 times. Although Deputy Commander Chi is not like Da Qingshan and Amy who show their kindness on the surface, but...
He was definitely not a person with blood on his hands. How could he do such a heartless thing?! General Chi Hanfeng died in battle, and everyone was heartbroken. However, Ling Yun asked himself that he would never do such a thing!
It was impossible for anyone in the small mercenary group to do such a thing. The boy immediately remembered the battle at Duanbing Port. The Fanos Army drove the people to attack the city. In order not to harm the people, the small mercenary group faced more than 20,000 enemies and more than 2,000 people.
The young mercenaries almost came out in full force and exchanged their painful injuries for the lives of most of them. The deputy commander of Daqingshan was plotted and almost died in that battle. At that time, the young mercenaries including Chi Aotian
Many cadres of the regiment hated the idea of driving civilians to join the war. Ling Yun could not believe it in any case, how could a cold-hearted person like the deputy commander do such a thing...
It's just...if it wasn't Chi Aotian...who else would have left such a big mark in Rhode City...
No wonder, before leaving, Amy asked Ling Yun in private to ask Chi Aotian: "Do you feel guilty for killing so many innocent people?" At that time, Ling Yun didn't know what Chi Aotian had done along the way.
Seeing everything in front of him, layers of cold sweat broke out in Ling Yun's hands, and the young man didn't even know what kind of answer he would get to such a question.
Before meeting up with Hudu and Guan Shan, Long told Ling Yun not to talk nonsense about what he heard. He should wait until he sees Chi Aotian before talking about anything.
Immediately, the four dragon knights chased north. They did not expect that Chi Aotian's army would suddenly plunge northeast in order to avoid a decisive battle with the superior enemy. In the rainy season of the Huayu Plain, the vegetation grows very fast, and it grows rapidly in a day or two.
It can cover the horse hoof prints left by a large group of people after marching, so it's no wonder they can't find the traces.
The four dragon knights chased them all the way to the sky above Ulu City, only to realize that they had lost the person they were chasing.
Long Rang and the youngest suddenly went to the Tree House Bar in Ulu City to inquire about the news. They immediately learned that in order to deal with Chi Aotian's army once and for all, the Holy See had gathered tens of thousands of troops, and there were more than 30,000 Fanos troops in the area.
Landing on the east coast, Chi Aotian's army is being pursued and intercepted. According to internal information from the mercenary union, the evil Chi Aotian's army has discovered several times the enemy waiting for work, and is currently running for its life on the Huayu Plain.
Hearing such news, the four dragon knights were extremely anxious. It seemed that the imperial military headquarters had not received the latest news before. They did not alarm the city, and set off late at night to immediately chase south.
As a result, Long also misjudged the direction. He believed that since the Fanos Army landed from the east coast and Chi Aotian Army had hundreds of flying knights, the scouting work must have been done well.
When a large-scale enemy was chasing and intercepting them, Chi Aotian and others would inevitably choose to go west to respond to the Jielin War Zone. Therefore, the four dragon knights flew all the way to the southwest, which delayed them for a few days.
Finally, on January 23, the four dragon knights flew almost 25,000 miles on the Huayu Plain, and finally couldn't help but attack two centurions of the Holy See Knights. Only then did they know the final fate of the two armies.
Battle location: Niu Yao Town.
Late at night, the four dragon knights put on the uniforms of the Holy See Knights and entered the town of Niu Yao as low-level officers of the Knights Templar.
At this time, Menton led all the elite troops to cross the Sicily River and continued northward, hoping to annihilate the remnants of Chi Aotian in one fell swoop. The town was full of instructors and clergy, and these were not defended by the armed forces of the battle formation.
The Niu Yao town is almost an undefended city. Of course, the four dragon knights do not know these things.
Sure enough, here, the dragon knights found the goal they had been running on the Huayu Plain for more than half a month - thousands of neat and orderly Chi Aotian Expeditionary Corps - but all the majestic soldiers turned out... all of them...
They were corpses. The busy priests in the town were using magic to process these corpses and prepare to transport them to Rhodes City in carts.
Strong ominous thoughts passed through the four people's minds - before Amy sent them here, she had clearly told them that Chi Aotian's expeditionary force was probably between 5,000 and 6,000, and the total number of corpses in front of them exactly matched the number.
Each corpse was so swollen by the river water that it was difficult to recognize its original appearance. The corpse's equipment had been removed, and the black armor and black standard swords were piled up into a hill in the sun...
Farther away, money-hungry villagers were busy skinning and removing the flesh from dead horses and dead earth dragons. Among the mount corpses piled up like a mountain, there were also a large number of wild vulture corpses.
As we all know, the black earth dragon is the unique mount of the Black Dragon Knights, as well as the black weapon like a hill, and the Crazy Eagle Knights unique to the small mercenary group... The hearts of the four people were completely cold, Ling Yun's eyes
In an instant, he rushed to the bloodline. In anger, the young man took out his dragon flute and prepared to call his mount dragon.
At this moment, several officers of the Holy Holy See accompanied the Fanos orcs. They were supervising the disposal of the corpses, and the four dragon knights overheard their unintentional conversation.
"The rebel Chi Aotian and the Black Dragon Knights are really brave. They fought all the way here. Fortunately, in the end, they were not wiped out by the Iron-handed Grand Duke Banjiang in one fell swoop?"
"Of course, the Grand Duke is ranked in the top 10 on the fighting spirit list, and Han Han, the two super dragon knights join forces, those rebels will definitely have no way to survive."
"Hmph... If we didn't have our huge General Norton chasing him all night long, no matter how many dragon knights there are, they would be fighting to death..." The half-orc used human words in a half-baked way.
"That's it, that's it. Norton and General Menton are both the most famous brave men in the army."
"I heard that His Highness Xiuda, the Holy Dragon Knight, is now leading a few dragon knights to look for traces of the enemies who were lucky enough to cross the river. This time, they will be completely defeated. Let the Lord bless us."
…
Such shocking talk made the four dragon knights break out in cold sweat. Without stopping for a moment, they once again rode the dragon overnight and crossed the Sicilian River to chase north.
They easily found the place where the war was taking place - still above the Sicily River, they saw in the distance, the raging fire dyed the entire night sky red, and the fire seemed to burn the sky. Although it was separated by
Nearly a hundred miles away, you can still feel the rolling heat waves coming from a distance.
After the giant dragon flew to the Yanshan Mountains in Heyang, Sicily, the mountains that were once covered with green pines and cypresses had been turned into a sea of fire with no visible edges. The flames turned into fire crows that rose dozens of meters high.
High, a stench rose from the valley, and the air in the sky was swallowed up by the fire. The two fourth-level golden dragons did not dare to approach the sea of fire no matter how much the two dragon knights slapped them. The mounts of Long and Ling Yun were separated.
It was a fifth-level water dragon and a fire dragon. Relying on the unique dragon domain of the fifth-level dragon and the water dragon's restraint on flames, the two dragon knights rushed into the sea of fire and followed the mountains little by little.
―This is not a solution at all. The dragon's ability can still compete for a while, but the human body's physique cannot be compared with the dragon's. The fire passed through the dragon's domain, turning all the cotton products on the knight's body into burnt pieces, and the metal armor and
The weapons scalded the bodies of the two men into blisters. In the end, the two dragon knights had to endure the pain and escape from the sea of fire...
The four dragon knights didn't believe that Chi Aotian's expeditionary force had disappeared into the sea of fire, and they rode dragons to search nearby for more than ten days.
At this moment, a more terrifying news forced the four dragon knights to stop exploring again - the temporary capital of the empire, Hamburg, a city that is said to never fall, was captured by Dahino, the first commander of Fanos!
