Sky Dragon Rider

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, his face became more serious, but he said with great certainty: "Yes! There are magicians there, there are many, very powerful magicians!"

"Really!"

The shepherd boy opened his mouth wide, his face full of longing, but he quickly realized that he looked at the old man in disbelief.

How did Grandpa Hanma know?

The young Gray Sheep immediately guessed a certain possibility, and the expression on his face became more and more surprised.

The old man didn't see the change in the boy's expression, but turned his gaze back and continued to look into the distance, looking thoughtful.

Is it going to war again?

Boom! ~

A quarter of an hour later, the elemental energy in the atmosphere boiled again, and there was a terrible sound in the distance, as if something was rampaging in the middle of the mountains.

The dense smoke rose violently, and the peaks were engulfed one after another, like a terrifying monster, which rushed over from more than ten miles away in the blink of an eye, and was close to the mountain ridge where the old man and the shepherd boy were at lightning speed. , Passing by hard.

Countless stones flew into the sky, and then fell down like raindrops. The scene within a few miles was like the end of the world. A block hit, turned into a bloody corpse.

What happened?The young man who was stunned by the horrific sound at the scene completely forgot to run away, the ground trembled and the mountain shook, causing him to fall to the ground.

The old man muttered something, and quickly tapped the cracked wooden staff in his hand, a blue hemispherical magic shield enveloped him and the shepherd boy, blocking the rain of earth and rocks from the sky.

Even the most unresponsive person.It can also tell that this abnormality is a spell.

oh!oh!Magician!

The shepherd boy looked at Grandpa Hanma in disbelief. This old man who had lived in the village for many years turned out to be a distinguished master magician.

The light blue hood that covered the top of the head and its surroundings kept rippling, and a stone as large as an argali fell on it, and an invisible force immediately pushed it away.After a while, the bodies of the old and the young were covered with large and small stones, presenting a clearly defined circular sunken area.

The sides of the entire ridge were in a mess, covered with all kinds of gravel and soil debris.It even spread to more than ten miles away.

A sudden gust of wind swept past, and the spell shield trembled violently. Although it was on the verge of falling, it finally persisted.

The flying sand and rocks all over the sky quickly dissipated with this strange gust of wind, and the vision became clear again.

The old and the young were still dumbfounded by the scene in front of them, speechless for a long time.

A huge gully like a miracle runs through the mountains and extends to the distance, and the energy fluctuations of the surrounding earth element system gradually return to calm.

More than a dozen thousand-meter-high mountain ranges present shockingly huge gaps.Even one of the peaks was covered with snow all year round, and countless gravels filled the valley. This mighty mighty power that moved mountains and seas would be located deep in the central mountain range of Hailar, forcibly chiseled from east to west. Pass through a straight and broad road.

Boom! ~Boom! ~Boom! ~

An increasingly clear drumbeat came from the east side of the avenue, and the surrounding air vibrated slightly with the rhythm.

Countless banners appeared at the end of the avenue not long after it appeared, and then the neat formations appeared in the sight of the old man and the shepherd boy.

At the forefront are five rows of knights holding high flags, man and horse all covered in black armor.The pace of the horses is like one body, walking slowly and leisurely.

Sixteen bulls form a group, and four groups run parallel, dragging four huge carts, carrying one large, two small, and three huge drums. Drum hammers, hammering vigorously in accordance with a uniform rhythm.

The drumhead, which is about two people tall, glows strangely with every shock, and the sound of the drum shakes the sky.As far as ten miles.The long and long horns on the side of the car made high-pitched and long sounds from time to time, and the fierce and high-spirited drums announced their existence to the central mountain range of Hailar.

Thirty steps away from the rear is a criss-cross formation of pikemen with a clear formation, and a generous tower shield in one hand.With a five-meter-long spear in one hand, he stepped on the ground.There was a bang.

Guns are like forests, people are like dragons, and the domineering momentum soars into the sky.

Further behind is a magician in purple, red and blue robes, holding a long standard staff, and forming a five-character-shaped square formation of hundreds of people.

The blue-robed magicians are the most numerous, and they are the main part of the phalanx. The elemental energy fluctuations on the red-robed magicians are more intense. They are located at the forefront of the phalanx, leading the blue-robed magicians behind them.

The number of purple-robed mages is the least, and the energy fluctuations of the elemental systems on their bodies are subtle and even difficult to detect. However, their unique status and representative strength can be easily distinguished from their detached positions neatly arranged in front of the character square. .

In the magician phalanx protruding from the front, all the magicians held their staffs horizontally, and a double-pointed hexagonal pyramid-shaped alchemy instrument was suspended above each person's head. The core part emitted a soft white light, and there was an invisible energy constantly. Gushing out from their bodies, they converged towards this alchemy artifact, and were transformed into strands of blue lightning, flying towards the disk-shaped alchemy artifact above the square formation. The speed is getting stronger and stronger.

The ups and downs of the spell chant were not drowned out by the drums, but could be faintly heard several miles away. The energy density and fluctuations of the elements were slowly accumulating. If there was no misjudgment, it would be another extremely powerful spell. in the process of forming.

A phalanx of more than a thousand magicians followed closely by a phalanx of archers holding strange bows. This was clearly an army armed to the teeth.

"Grandpa Hamma, ah! No! Master Hamma, who are these people?"

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Seeing so many people appearing in the previously inaccessible mountainous area, the shepherd boy curiously looked at the approaching army at the foot of the mountain. He had never seen so many people in his life. The armor, weapons, mounts, staffs, etc. all firmly attracted his attention.

"Grey Sheep, don't call me Master, call me Grandpa like before!"

The old man turned his head and glanced at the shepherd boy. Although he exposed his identity as a master magician, he was still kind and approachable.

He continued: "They are Muslims, the army of the Islamic Empire! It is terrible!"

His face sank slightly, could it be that the Tesi Empire was defeated?

Hanma used to be a member of the magician group of the Tesi Empire. He participated in the decisive battle in the central mountain range of Hailar a few years ago. Due to the serious overdrawing of mana during the battle, he was injured and lost the ability to cast spells.

After the war, he, who had no children, simply stayed in a natural village deep in the central mountain range of Hailar to live an isolated life. Up to now, he has only barely recovered a tenth or two. When I saw the military flag of the Muslims again, I seemed to have returned to the battlefield where the two countries fought bloody battles in the past.

The hand holding the withered wooden staff trembled slightly involuntarily, and the spell shield with a radius of four to five meters covering the body was affected by the emotional agitation, and suddenly lost control, countless light blue wind elemental energy quickly turned into a disordered breeze and dissipated in the air .

Ten gigantic dragons with teeth and claws dragging a magnificent palace appeared on the avenue. This hall almost occupied the entire width of the road.

There are at least [-] pairs of wheels neatly and symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the three-story mobile palace, plus some shock-absorbing designs, making the palace extremely stable during its movement.

"Hiss! ~ The coat of arms and flags of the Islamic royal family, could it be that the emperor personally collected them?!"

The old magician Hanma's cloudy eyes widened and he gasped in disbelief. Seeing the scene of the dragon pulling the cart, his heart almost stopped beating. How amazing it is for the dragon to be willing to serve as animal power Spectacular and exciting.

He had lived in a natural village deep in the mountains for many years, and was completely out of touch with the vicissitudes of the outside world. He didn't know what happened after the decisive battle between the Tesi Empire and the Slan Empire in the central mountain range of Hailar.

"Emperor?! Ah! That's the emperor of the Slan Empire?! I can actually see the emperor!"

Huiyang, a shepherd boy, jumped up with fearless joy. Before, he felt that he was lucky to know a master magician, but he never thought that he could see the emperor, the living emperor!

Obviously he didn't understand what the empire and the emperor represented.

As the mountain people who thrived from generation to generation within the natural borders of the two empires, they did not have much national awareness, and no tax official led his soldiers deep into the mountains to collect taxes from these poor mountain people. The shopkeeper will bring them some outside news.

Naturally, these mountain people don't care whether they are Tesi or Muslim.

"Don't move around! Gray sheep!"

There seemed to be more than a dozen eyes watching from afar, Hanma seemed to be trapped in an ice cellar, unable to move immediately, her whole body was scrutinized thoroughly, only the unaware shepherd boy beside her was still heartlessly excited.

The Islamic royal family, even the emperor, was passing by right under his nose, and the defense force must be beyond imagination, and maybe the slightest disturbance would result in ruthless bombardment and killing.

Even if he lent ten guts to the old magician, he would not dare to act rashly.

The sound of uniform footsteps at the foot of the mountain became louder and louder, even reaching an appalling level. Even Hanma couldn't believe that this was the army of the Slan Empire. How could an empire be as strong as a fellow soldier.

Although the shepherd boy heard the warning and had to be honest, he still couldn't hide his excitement and curiosity.

Those attentions lingered on the old and the young for a while, and then disappeared again without warning, just like when they suddenly appeared just now.

Maybe because the old ones and the young ones are not a threat at all, they just ignored them.
