Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 20 Dragon Shadow
"Blocking the road?"

Lucia was slightly taken aback, and threw the divine leather stitches that were lying on her knees into the car, took her dragon scale knife and hung it on her waist, opened the car door and walked out, looking forward for a moment, Di The splendid and magnificent scenery of Das suddenly came into view.

Here, the outline of the Yatan Plateau is like a huge curtain wall rising from the ground, occupying half of the sky and extending endlessly to the left and right. stand upright.

Numerous heavy foundation stones weighing several tons constitute its base, and the majestic and high porch is supported by thick stone pillars that can only be embraced by more than ten people. The large rocks on both sides have been artificially flattened, and carved into one side after another depicting the unification war. The huge reliefs, the characters and scenes depicted on it are so real, as if the epic battle that can change the color of the situation happened right before our eyes.

In addition to the main hall with a large elevator in the center, there are a series of auxiliary halls with small elevators and other ancillary buildings in the rear, coupled with the city wall defense system that perfectly fits the terrain, all of these together constitute this city with the sky. The architectural miracle of the city, the flame cauldron, and the capital of Rodel, which stand side by side, also symbolizes the supreme authority of the Golden Dynasty after the war of unification.

Lucia let out a sigh of relief slowly, relieved the pressure that surged out of her heart due to awe, and looked at the group of uninvited guests blocking the road that Guerrell had said—they were hundreds of fully armed Rodel knights. The golden helmet engraved with the golden tree emblem on the top of the head, and the gorgeous and heavy golden armor are arranged in a solid array to meet the enemy on the battlefield. The shield formation like a city wall and the forest of knives and guns tightly block the entrance to the main hall. Long order.

In front of the array, six big tree guards holding golden tree shields and golden halberds sat high on heterogeneous war horses. Their heavy visors covered all their expressions. The brilliance of the golden tree shone from the sky behind and shone on everyone. Reflecting a bright golden glow.

"Oh, what a big battle!" Guerrell sneered, "Is this how the Golden Dynasty treats guests?"

Obviously, they did not come to greet the demigods of the Gulong Dynasty, otherwise they would never have put on such a tense posture, and it was even more impossible to wait until the two armies confronted each other without sending an envoy to explain their intentions.

From this point of view, the other party has only one purpose - to demonstrate.

Lucia narrowed her eyes slightly, and rubbed the handle of the knife at her waist with her palms. Although Didas was the most important strategic location of the Golden Dynasty besides the capital, it was always heavily guarded, but there were not many Rodel knights yet. Such a worthless point.

Even if you look at the entire Rodel, there are only a few people who are qualified to issue such an order, but I don't know if it is the queen, the husband, or the flawless golden prince?
While pondering, the Rodel knights were still as silent as iron, while the dragon warriors and storm knights were already burning with anger.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" Aegis, who had always been steady, couldn't hide his anger at this time.

Farther away, the two elders, Merrell and Yatok, also rushed to the royal driver. From the expressions on their faces, it can be seen that these two old and powerful dragons are also on the verge of breaking out .

Regarding whether Lucia should accept the invitation of the Golden Dynasty, Elder Yatok chose to support it, while Elder Merrell was a firm opponent, but under the current situation, the previous differences are no longer important— —Since the other party ignored their own invitation earlier and made such a disrespectful act towards the ancient dragon demigod, Sky City can completely understand it as a signal to start war!

"Your Highness—" Elder Yatok hurried up to Lucia, knelt on the ground without waiting for the latter to speak, and gritted his teeth: "I regret that I should have encouraged Your Highness to accept the invitation of the Golden Dynasty, so that today you I am insulted by others. As long as you give an order, we will kill all these rebellious people for His Highness!"

While speaking, Lucia noticed that the elder's shoulders were still wrapped in layers of bandages, and there was a slight smell of medicine wafting from his body, which was the injury left by the assassination of the apostle of the godskin the day before, and the looming dragon scales on the surface of the skin , revealing the uncontrollable rage in his heart.

He hurriedly bent down to help the old man in front of him, and said: "The decision to accept the invitation is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with you, please hurry up, elder!"

After dragging Yatok up from the ground and comforting him again, Lucia walked towards the front of the mission, with the two elders and the captain of the personal guard closely following behind him.

Along the way, he quickly thought about the other party's motives and goals, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation. Even if it was used as a means of demonstration, this kind of practice was too low-key, and it was an invitation to spread embarrassment. Golden Dynasty.If I really want to make him, a newborn demigod, bow to the Golden Tree, it is better to send a letter of credence with harsh words from the beginning to force him to pay tribute and enter the court as a hostage. It is much better than making everyone unable to step down. Bar?
Could it be that the reason for such a big battle on the opposite side is to let him choose one of the options of fleeing in a huff, declaring war in anger, or staying on the spot to listen to the announcement, as long as he doesn't want to represent Sky City and the Golden Dynasty. , can you slap yourself in the face openly?

Thinking of this, Lucia involuntarily pressed the handle of the Dragon Scale Knife. Although he has the memory of his previous life, he always thinks about and handles various affairs with a calm attitude, but the essence of him now is no longer the self of the previous life, but a head The ancient dragon with the highest bloodline in the world - the violence belonging to the dragon clan bit his heart like a poisonous snake, constantly tempting him to draw his sword out of its sheath, and lead the soldiers behind him to tear the bastards in front to pieces!

He stood quietly in front of the formation of the two armies, the knuckles holding the handle of the knife looked pale due to excessive force. At this moment, the formation of the Storm Knights was only a few hundred steps away from the opponent. Standing here, he could almost hear the big tree The guards breathed heavily behind their visors.

Lucia understood that the long knife in his hand was not only tied to the lives of more than a thousand knights at both ends of the long step, but also the fate of millions of soldiers and civilians between the two dynasties and two civilizations. The moment the blade is unsheathed, the number of creatures bleeding for it will be countless times that of the sunset pass a day ago.

If it was him who was in front of the screen in his previous life, he would probably back up the save file first, and then rush forward without hesitation—unfortunately, he is not now.

He is not alone, behind him, there is a decaying sky city.

"We." He let go of the handle of the knife, and was about to speak, when a dragon's roar that shook the sky suddenly came from the end of the sky!

A huge black shadow rushed from the direction of the Yatan Plateau. Its speed was so fast that it tore apart the countless flowing clouds that blocked its progress, and formed a long-lasting trail behind it. When it flew over Dedas, people finally saw its appearance——

It was a white dragon body as majestic as mountains and rivers. Different from the flying dragon's four dragon wings, it stretched out wantonly. A faint golden shimmer shimmered in the depths of the rock-like scales, revealing the blessing of the ancient Elden ring. Traces, it obscured the brilliance belonging to the golden tree, and cast a shadow that covered the sky and the sun on the heads of the golden knights!
In this situation, it was difficult for the Rodel knights to maintain their previous silence and calmness. They hurriedly bowed and saluted, and at the same time quickly gave up a large open space for the white ancient dragon to land.

The giant dragon fluttered its wings and landed lightly in a storm. It raised its slender neck, and its icy eyes patrolled the many golden knights for a week. Wherever it looked, the knights seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and they dared not move a little.

A flash of brilliance flashed, and the dragon's body shrank rapidly, turning into a tall woman in a white priest's robe. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with her red lips: "Who is your knight commander, come out."

The voice was cold and elegant, but with an undeniable majesty.

A big tree guard immediately trotted to the front, bowed and saluted, "I'm next, Priest Lance."

Lance Shanks glanced at him indifferently. Suddenly, the big tree guard was struck by lightning, the golden breastplate was dented suddenly, a large mouthful of blood overflowed from the back of the visor, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

"It's only this one time to pass the word up, not to go down as an example." She said indifferently.

"Yes" the big tree guard said harshly, he got up with difficulty, and after another deep salute, he backed away with the support of his comrades.

Lance Shanks turned to look at the Sky City Mission. Lucia was still standing there blankly, but the crowd behind him was already elated. Guerrell was even more excited, as if he could not wait for the next second As if rushing over.

Her footsteps moved slightly, and the distance of hundreds of steps seemed to be nothing in front of her, and the distance between one step and the other disappeared in an instant.

Lance Shanks went straight to Lucia, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head involuntarily, and said with a chuckle: "Why, the sky city is less than three months old, your highness is only this age, and his head is already crazy Are you stupid?"
