Heart of the Castle

Chapter 756

When Sir Rodriguez and Alans Kate arrived at the ruins, the green lion Marquis Osiris was pacing anxiously beside the ruins, and the entrance had already been blocked by a net formed by dense green vines. , with the emerald green light of life magic shining on it.

"Marquis Osiris?" Sir Rodriguez's eyes widened in surprise, "Who is asking for help? And... I thought you had already entered this ruin first."

The green lion suddenly turned around, his handsome face turned livid due to anger and anxiety, "Goddess of life, Elara, Sir Rodriguez, I know nothing like you, if it weren't for this The damned stubborn tree stump sealed off the ruins, and I've already entered!"

The rattan made a rustling sound, trembling, twisting, and tangling, and then an old and tired face faintly appeared on the surface of the green net, "Prince Lololoshien..." The face opened Mouth, said in a distant, ethereal, but slow to restless voice, "I, I, I must carry out the order of the elder of Odessa, no, no, can't let you venture into this ruin, Only legendary powerhouses are allowed to pass through..."

"My emerald battle qi has already reached the stage of sanctification of battle qi, and there is only a negligible gap between them and those legendary powerhouses!" Marquis Osiris yelled angrily in a low voice, his face that was originally livid turned red with anger.

"The gap is the gap, Crown Prince Lolo Luoxien." The mouth of the face continued to squirm, "You, you, you can't split my body, and entering the ruins is proof..."

"Sir Rodriguez, please tell him to shut up!" The green lion turned around and yelled angrily. The two blades of Nature's Fury that had already been unsheathed were burning with emerald green flames of fighting spirit. Obviously, the elf sky knight had already done something. Tried it, but unfortunately didn't achieve the intended goal.

The Scourge Knight frowned, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Tell him to shut up? Marquis Osiris, what can I do to shut up this strange face? Could it be that you can't do it?"

"...I really can't." Marquis Osiris was silent for a few seconds, and then he admitted reluctantly, "The original power attribute of my emerald grudge is biased towards natural life, and the guardian of the Evergreen Tower ——The Guteng Shuren Elder Sarda also happens to have the power of nature, although his defense ability has reached the legendary level, but it is still not an obstacle that I can break through."

Sir Rodriguez raised his eyes, and looked at the green net covering the entrance of the ruins with an incredible gaze, "Passed the test of a legendary strong man?" There was some kind of strange respect in his voice, Afterwards, the star iron giant sword slid out from the simple scabbard behind it with a clang.

"Everyone, human knight, you, you, you are very strong, but it is impossible to cause damage to my body..." Before Elder Sarda could finish his sentence, he was heard from Rodriguez. Interrupted by the cold and dead breath rising from Sir Gus, even the distant and desolate tone changed, "...Havoc! This is the power of death, you are a condemned knight! "

"You're right." Sir Rodriguez nodded and admitted, and at the same time held the star iron giant sword horizontally with one hand, and the dark fighting spirit flame quickly spread from the hilt to the tip of the sword, "Your Excellency the tree elder Sarda, Can we go over now, or do you insist that I use this sword to open a hole in your body?"

The face made of green vines showed a wincing expression, and then quickly opened from where the mouth should have been, forming an opening large enough for a tall knight in full armor to pass through.

"The order of the Great Elder Ao Ao Odessa is that only legendary powerhouses can pass through here and there. Your qualifications are completely in line with the requirements of the order. Please, please pass...and hurry up, I, I I just felt the life force of the great elder of Odessa burst out suddenly, and then declined..."

Marquis Osiris showed a rare look of panic, "What happened to the Odessa elder?" He interrupted the tree elder's slow explanation, "Sir Rodriguez, and Alans Kate, We must hurry over there!"

The three of them then stepped into the narrow passageway of the ruins. The surroundings were dark and dark, and the road was damaged and difficult to walk. When they wandered around, there were broken walls and ruins everywhere in their vision, exuding a disturbing atmosphere.No one remembered to carry a torch, but none of the three needed that kind of thing. Both the high elves and the shadow assassins had pretty good night vision. As for Sir Rodriguez, the death knights didn't see the world that way. Two clusters of dark green flames burning in the eye sockets, but in a way that the living can hardly understand.

After advancing less than 50 meters, Alans Kate, who was hiding in the shadows, spoke in his hoarse voice with a hiss at the end, "The situation is not good, I smell blood."

"There's blood everywhere, and it's also full of the stench of sulfur." ​​Marquis Osiris replied with a frown.The high elves love cleanliness by nature, so they seldom participate in the work of cleaning up the battlefield after the war.Now the Elf Sky Knight stepped on the slippery blood stains. Although there were no horrific corpses in his field of vision, he could always see purple or black and ominous dry traces... If it wasn't for Odessa Grand Elder and Larry? With Yue Gong missing, he almost wanted to leave the ruins.

"It's not the smell of blood a few hours ago, but the one that just flowed out, with warmth and sweet fragrance..." The shadow assassin's voice suddenly stopped, and then his figure appeared not far ahead, "For God's sake, I think I found quite a few dead bodies!"

With the unique agility of the elves, the Marquis Osiris was even ahead of Sir Rodriguez. He was very afraid that he would see some corpses belonging to the elves, and when he saw those corpses lying at the feet of the shadow assassin , The emerald green eyes, like top-grade flawless emeralds, involuntarily widened to the limit.

"These are... dark elves, Alara, how did these evil guys who turned their backs on the light appear here?"

"Why not?" Sir Rodriguez who came later said in a deep voice, "Don't forget that just last night, the faceless troops that suddenly appeared and attacked the camp and Master Levi were all led by the dark Composed of elf assassins!"

"But... that happened yesterday. Haven't all the demon army entrenched in the Dark Fortress been defeated? Why didn't these dark elves escape with their allies at the same time?" Marquis Osiris looked down in confusion , and then gave up with a wry smile, "Master Alans Kate, come and see how these dark elves were killed?"

The Shadow Assassin nodded, then squatted down next to the corpse, reached out and touched it, the expression on his face was well hidden behind the rune bandage, only a pair of blood-red eyes gleamed in the twilight.

"What they encountered seems to be some kind of giant with terrifying power...or a giant beast. The bones of this corpse are all broken, and half of the body is full of blood. I am afraid that it was smashed to death by the wall; These two corpses collided violently with each other before they were alive, one of them had a broken neck, and the other died because of a broken rib inserted into its internal organs..." Alans Kate let out a long breath, shook his head and sighed, "Unimaginable terrifying power, Marquis Osiris, even if you can easily kill these dark elves, you probably won't be able to do such a tragic scene, right?"

"Of course I can't do it... I'm afraid that apart from that guy Dragosson, none of the well-known knights in Northern Border County can do this." Marquis Osiris replied in a low voice, and then remembered a Possibly, "The Great Elder of Odessa is a druid master, and his transformation happens to be a giant bear. Could it be that he killed these dark elves?"

"This kind of speculation is very likely. These dark elves were not all killed, at least one guy was injured and escaped." The shadow assassin stood up, playing with a delicate black crossbow in his hand, "I found on the ground Besides this, I saw such hand crossbows and crossbow bolts in the box of Babrupa, it should be the weapons used by the dark elves."

Sir Rodriguez took the crossbow bolt and looked at it for a few seconds before the eye sockets burning with dark green flames. "It is stained with blood and has some kind of violent hypnotic toxin." The cold voice said, "It seems that the other side of the battle was also injured."

Marquis Osiris tightly pursed his lips, and continued to move forward without saying a word. The speed was so fast that even the shadow assassin Alans Kate felt like he couldn't catch up.It is not easy to find clues in the ruins destroyed by the fierce battle, but perhaps because of luck, the green lion did not find the wrong direction. After climbing over a low wall, the scene in front of him made him hold his breath .

The green lion saw more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground in various shapes, all of which belonged to the dark elves. Among these corpses, Larry Moonbow, the secret elf archer, sat slumped under a broken stone pillar, his whole body Stained with blood, he tightly held the body of an elderly elf in his arms.

There was silence all around, only the sobbing panting of Marquis Osiris could be heard.Looking at the trembling back of the green lion, Alans Kate opened his mouth to speak, but was grabbed by the shoulder by a big hand covered in black armor. Then the shadow assassin turned his head and saw Sir Rodriguez's slight disapproval. Shake your head.

Larry Moonbow suddenly let out a few painful coughs, which caused the Marquis Osiris to show a surprised and ecstatic expression on his face.The green lion hurriedly walked over, leaned over to inspect his childhood playmate, and found that although he had suffered serious injuries in several places and his body was quite weak due to excessive blood loss, at least he was still alive.

"Larry? Moonbow!" Marquis Osiris knelt down on one knee, and lightly supported the shoulder of his childhood playmate with his hands. He didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of aggravating the injury or other bad effects. "Can you hear my voice? I'm Osiris... no, it's Lothien."

The elf secret archer struggled to open his eyes, and it took him a while to recognize the face of Marquis Osiris, "Prince Lothien, I... I'm fine, but the great elder of Odessa sacrificed his life..." He suddenly coughed violently , and coughed up a mouthful of blood clots, causing Marquis Osiris to yell, "Sir Rodriguez, Alans? Kate, anyone is welcome, hurry and find a priest!"

"Let me go." Arance Kate said, but Sir Rodriguez waved his hand to stop him, and then explained, "There is no need to go to the priest. I informed Master Levi of the situation here through telepathic communication." , old...Master Frederick has come over."

Before the Scourge Knight finished speaking, the blue and white portal had appeared beside him, and then Mr. Dish, who was dressed as a butler, walked out quickly and saw Larry Moonbow and Ode lying in a pool of blood. Elder Sa, a look of shock flashed across Mr. Dish's face, and then he raised his hands.

Under the gentle white light of the healing technique, Larry Moonbow's violent cough stopped, and a trace of blush reappeared on his pale face caused by excessive blood loss. "Thank you for your help, Master Frederick." He thanked Mr. Dish with a labored nod.

"Lord Larry Moonbow, it's good that you're fine." Mr. Dish looked around, and his eyes swept over the corpses of many dark elves nearby, especially those with a red cloth tied on their faces. The deeply sunken dark elf's corpse stayed for a moment longer. "It turned out to be the Prophet of the Eye of Sacrifice, a loyal servant of the Abyss Spider Queen La Nina El Nino. No wonder she was able to preside over such an evil ritual as the Dark Blood Curse Eight Demon Array."

"Dark Blood Curse Eight Demon Formation?" Marquis Osiris exclaimed in astonishment, "Could it be that the target of these dark elves is Regent King Levi Ston?"

"That's right, Master Levi was attacked by a very strong curse just now. If Lord Larry Moonbow and the Great Elder Odessa hadn't discovered the plot of the dark elves in time, even if we have tried our best to protect him, Master Levi might would be seriously injured."

Mr. Dish explained with a solemn face, and then turned to the elf secret archer who had recovered his breathing, "Larry? Lord Moonbow, if you are in good health, can you tell us about the sacrifice of the elder of Odessa?" Woolen cloth?"

Larry Yuegong nodded vigorously, and replied in a low and sad voice, "I'd be happy to tell what happened. If it weren't for the elder of Odessa, I would have died in this ruins long ago... "

At the same moment when the elf secret archer was telling about the sacrifice of the elf elder and druid master Odessa, on the glorious road leading from the royal capital Fermeyer to the northern county, a large number of heavily armored knights The troops were galloping on horseback.The road paved with bluestone slabs trembled violently under the heavy trampling of horseshoes, as if it might break at any moment, but these heavily armed knights still whipped their mounts, desperately squeezing out the last breath from the bodies of the foaming horses. spare no effort.

Such a forced march is undoubtedly a severe test, both for mounts and knights.Even a well-trained first-class war horse, without the support of the knight's fighting spirit, can hardly bear a heavy knight weighing hundreds of kilograms while running at high speed for a long time. After a maximum of ten kilometers, the war horse will be exhausted It's unbearable.

The price of supporting this troop's high-speed advance is the intense consumption of fighting energy. Even the great knight commander who has reached the peak stage of fighting energy is usually exhausted after several hours of advancing like this, and his fighting power is not even as good as that of a team. An ordinary knight who recharges his energy.Obviously, this troop was not entirely composed of the Grand Knight Commander. From time to time, the screams of war horses could be heard from the high-speed advancing queue, and then people and horses fell to the ground, causing a small commotion.

But no one stopped to check, and whether the fallen knight was wounded or dead, they were left to fend for themselves on the road.Because the irreversible leader of this army—the scythe of death, Lord Tomad Jansen of the Eye of the God has issued a death order, and before dawn, they must bypass several important places in the northern border county. town, and then quickly passed through the Duskwood, before the defenders of the North were aware of it, to the bridge known as the "Barrier of the Sealand River".

It was an absolutely unexpected quick long-distance raid.

Participating in this raid were three branches of the Death Knights. The first branch had 350 high-ranking knights, while the members of the second and third branches were composed of knights and quasi-knights.Although this kind of strength can't fight against the full strength of the North Border County, when [-] elites gather around Levi Ston, the guards staying in the North Border County have no ability to stop it at all.Perhaps only the second regiment of Griffins, which is responsible for guarding the Green Castle, can resist with a high wall, but after all, only Cedric, the Earl of the White Wolf, is barely considered strong in that army, and it is impossible to survive the strong attack of the Death Knights in the end. How long to support.

A suffocating strong wind was blowing head-on, Thomas Jansen showed a cold smile, and at the same time pressed his hand on his aching chest, "All those abandoned children have disappeared, and Levi Ston The light of his soul is only slightly dimmed... It's a pity that we can't see the horrified eyes of the young Lord Regent... The newborn King Arthur, His Majesty Fleischer I, I really want to see the loss of this What choice can you make after putting up a flag!"

Thomas Yangsen, the Lord of the Eyes, held the Sword of Brilliance high, and a burst of cruel laughter flew up with the rapid sound of horseshoes, spreading in all directions, and echoing in the dark sky of Northern County!
