Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 116 Zhuoke V (1)

Chuck Apollo had another dream exactly like the one before.

At night, the endless hall was accompanied by the sun and the moon, and then the entire sky was covered by dark clouds, followed by torrential rain and raging fire, which violently vented their anger in front of him until he was swallowed by the flames...

If this dream has any meaning, what exactly does it mean?It was the same in the abandoned village next to the city of Alomer. He slept in the temple of Meera, the wise star god, and then came this disturbing dream.

This kind of scene didn't appear in his dreams for no reason, it had to mean something.The Doctor's soldiers had launched a night raid that night, and he swore he heard something that warned him of the imminent danger.

"We must go another way, Your Highness Zhuoke." Edgar Dolman on horseback returned from the front with two of his men, wearing silver armor of the guard, wearing a white tasseled helmet, and wearing a white cloak.

"Why?" Chuck asked. "Further south is the road of Igomel, and we can reach Kongtide City in less than two days' ride."

He hadn't been able to save Monty from the Mosteks, much to Drake's chagrin, and he'd been shot in the shoulder by a feathered arrow at Darkanvil, all because he wasn't wearing plate armor.

Edgar and the other guards pulled him on his horse and fled, and the riders pursued them. After two days of riding day and night, they were sure that there were no pursuers behind them.Zhuo Ke later learned through Edgar that those were the knights of the Lapko family, who made their fortunes with the favor of the Mostek brothers, and they held the banner of Iron Man.

Zhuo Ke's left shoulder is still aching now, and he has pulled out the feather arrow a long time ago. If it wasn't for the throbbing pain in his shoulder every time he raised his left arm, he wouldn't even remember that he was injured, because compared to the pain , remorse and anger made him tremble and feel uncomfortable.

He must ask his father for help, to give him enough horses and horses, and let him lead the army to rescue his brother, although the possibility of Vigerich Apollion agreeing to his request is slim--he is the chief of the company. Law enforcers are unwilling to entrust all the power to themselves, let alone an army?

"Going south along this road, you have to go through Zarek's rock pit city." Aiga answered, pulling the rein, "but we found that there are patrolling soldiers everywhere around the city wall, so we can find a way to go around it no matter what. We will all be discovered, and if they recognize our identities, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhuo Ke closed his eyes and sighed heavily. Edgar was right. He passed the Rock Pit City when he was going to the Hall of Ashes with his family. It was an unbreakable fortress city, which happened to be located The end of the road, and then leads to all directions of the entire Vivaria Kingdom.

"The Great" Igomel Apollyon I built a fortress with stone piles to garrison food during his Northern Expedition. The construction project was so large that it moved all the applicable stones for dozens of miles around. The stronghold gradually developed into the current Yankeng City.This is a high wall built by the Hastza, and its defenses are impregnable.

If he remembers correctly, the three dukes in the south of Vivalia have all escaped from the King's Forest, no... Zarek, the duke of the Rock Pit City, did not, Ega told Zhuo Ke that he was killed again after getting on his horse Pulled off, it was his two sons, Felijan and Zimovit, who fled.

Crowfield City is Duke Marius Jagoron, the "Dazzling One" whose back was smashed by the hammer of "Ruggy Bear" Kondra Welker in the duel, and Ernoburg is the ugly old " Hornless Bull" Duke Jarus Perk.

During the time on the road, he has been asking Ega about everything about Vivaria, the history of this kingdom and the important members of each family. If he wants to rescue Mundy, he must first understand the strange land under his feet. The land, and the people who depend on it.

"If the south is not feasible, where should we go?" Although Zhuo Ke asked Edgar, he knew that there was only one choice left for them, and he didn't like this choice.

"We can only go east, which is the territory of the Korva family." Aiga said, "We can pass by them, and then, like His Majesty Vigrich, return to Malacca by boat from Eagle Harbor City." De Carlin."

"Well, that's the only way to go." After that, Zhuo Ke turned his horse's head, kicked the spurs, and rode eastward along the Chiliu River.

Rozalia Korva is the last person he wants to see right now. One moment she still has an innocent smile on her face, and the next moment he will poison your wine. Thanks to her good looks, When he saw the queen for the first time, Zhuo Ke even felt that the idea of ​​marrying her was a good idea.

She said it was to avenge the death of her grandfather 30 years ago. After lamenting that Lozaria is a woman who holds vengeance, Zhuo Ke couldn't help but start to worry about himself. After all, there was a Korva's life on his sword, and it wasn't Not 30 years ago, but less than 30 days ago.But the queen didn't seem to bear any grudge against him, and her mother's reaction was much more intense than hers, maybe because he couldn't feel any emotion in Lozaria's sapphire eyes, he couldn't see through her, whether it was sadness, anger or madness, Lozaria was always cold.

They walked through the woods nestled against the river and the meadows of the Great Plains, and the surroundings became more austere the further east and north they went, even as they approached the Hall of Ashes, which the Vivarians called Leon The heart of the land still retains a part of its original.
-
Zhuo Ke and the guards arrived at the capital of the kingdom after a two-day ride. Tents were set up outside the walls of the Hall of Ashes, and the people's eyes and ears were filled with smoke, and the flags of various families were hung in the camp --- Blue Dragon, White Wolf , green trees, black eagles, silver peaks, gray helmets... The chief in black steel armor commanded the carriages carrying various parts of the siege equipment.

"The size of this army is not small." Zhuo Ke slowed down the horse's pace and slowly approached the castle.

He smelled the coming war in the mixed smell of sweat, dung, livestock, and dirty water, and the intoxicating aroma refreshed him.He had fantasized about what the battlefield was like, and maybe he'd be able to experience it for himself soon.

Among the soldiers with spears and swords, several black soldiers who were cleaning their weapons found them.

"Rhes drai!" said one of them in Vivarian.

"He told us to stop here." Edgar translated for him.

The shouts of the soldiers of the Black Army attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, and the officer wearing a steel breastplate and a black cloak drew out his waist saber and rushed towards them.

"In front of you is the Chief Law Officer of the Hastza Empire, the successor of the Empire..."

"Stop talking nonsense." The black army chief spat on the ground and interrupted Aiga in Hastza. "I know who you are, Prince Killer and his loyal dogs from Hastza."
