Chapter 345

"When did you learn to read minds?"

"It's just a trick of the fraudsters. As long as you grasp the logic of the question, you can also get the answer from the subtle changes in her expression."

Laurana rubbed her temples and said with a headache: "Compared to this, you should be more concerned about the troubles we are about to face. This woman is a person who knows the inside story, and she is actually Hagnan's daughter!"

"That monster can also give birth to such a delicate daughter? It must be a blood mutation?" El guessed maliciously: "But I still don't quite understand why she suddenly ran away?"

"I was just guessing before, but I already got the answer from her." Laurana waved her hand, causing the black thorns to seal the room again, and said to El in a low voice: "It's a matter of blood, she is obviously a mixed race , looking at it may be the blood of the lizard people, and the blood of the lizard people can still have a little unclear relationship with the dragon race. Generally speaking, due to the tolerance of human blood, even mixed races rarely appear particularly obvious Alien traits, but look at that Hercules Hegnan, it is obviously beyond the scope of normal human beings."

"Although I don't read much, don't lie to me. Isn't the lizard man a slippery creature that lives in the swamp? Even if that stupid big man doesn't look like a normal person, just look at his physique It's not about the bloodline of the lizardman, is it?" El pouted and said in disbelief.

"Besides the Lizardman, the other one might be the Half-Dragonman, but I would rather be the former." Laurana shook her fingers angrily: "Don't change the subject, where are we talking? Yes, the bloodline issue, if If that Hercules Hegnan is the kind of mixed-race person I imagined, then besides the extra natural ability that his bloodline brings to him, he also has another very important ability, that is——God Descends!"

"Descent from the gods? You mean the kind of thing in which the gods use the bodies of the chosen people to descend into the world?" El is somewhat familiar with this word, because it is a frequent occurrence in the stories written by bards in taverns. vocabulary.It is often said that when a certain hero embarks on the road to save the world, he receives the attention of the gods.When he faces setbacks and becomes discouraged, a god will descend in person and turn into a wise elder to guide him...

"What you're talking about is the formal coming of the true god, and it can also be said in a narrow sense. In a broad sense, many ancient and powerful beings can come to this world in a similar way." Laurana gestured with both hands, frowning Said: "Take the present as an example, it is very likely that the Brotherhood wants to summon the evil god they believe in, or other unknown things to come to this world, and the coming ceremony requires a large-scale blood sacrifice. As for Hercules Hagrid Nan, if he has this bloodline talent, he is qualified to be the carrier of the coming existence."

"That Hegnan is scary enough, do they want to summon something more evil? It seems that the old guy is really wicked." El sneered and turned his head to look at the other end of the city.

"Summoning at that level is very risky. If you are not careful, you may even risk your own life. I am afraid that the Brotherhood is well aware of this. Unless they are at the end of their rope, they will never call this call." The hole card. This should also be the reason for Tima's accidental exposure—we are just guessing wildly, but she knows the truth. If the brotherhood is really mad to this point, her relatives, Mr. Hegnan is the first As a sacrifice, the chance of surviving after being dropped by the gods is almost negligible."

"So she didn't actually inquire about our information, but inquired about the Brotherhood's information from us. She was in a hurry to reveal her identity?" El recalled how the woman was hunted down. She It seemed that she had no intention of hurting anyone, and the soldiers facing the obstruction just used their bodies to charge, otherwise, with the strength she displayed, casualties would inevitably occur this time.

"Why does it feel like we are the bad guys?" El sighed with a wry smile.

"Now is not the time to lament this kind of problem. The Brotherhood took such a risk and undoubtedly took us as the target. Sure enough, that old guy has no sincerity to negotiate at all, so he is so generous." Laurana gritted her teeth. Said: "I just can't figure it out, why is it necessary for the Brotherhood to do such a thing that hurts others and does not benefit ourselves. Even if the prophet hates us deeply, it is not necessary to sacrifice important people on his own side." ,unless……"

"Unless they can get enough benefits!" El said.

"The sword castle is like this, how much oil and water can be squeezed out? Our side is also a poor man with a family and a family, what benefits can we get?" Laurana subconsciously ignored the gem weapon that had already been eaten in her mouth. , in her thinking logic, these rubbish that even she doesn't like, should also be things that can't be put on the table for that prophet.

"No matter what, they must be determined to attack us, and obviously there will be no room for relaxation." El coldly snorted, looked at the other end of the city and smiled: "It just so happens that we also accepted People's remuneration, we can't let people say that we don't do things with money."

"It's not too late, I'm going to inform Tiana now, you go back and gather the army. Since they have already started preparing, I'm afraid we don't have much time left." Laurana's eyes became firmer, she nodded to El and said: "It doesn't matter What cards do they have, this time we must kill the grass!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a series of hurried hoofbeats from a distance, as if they were galloping straight here.El moved his ears, his expression changed, and he rushed out of the courtyard to the street, and when he looked up, he saw a distraught knight jumping off his horse with an anxious expression on his face.He recognized that this knight was the garrison stationed outside the north city gate, and also the rear-end troops responsible for picking up Ahmad.

"Alarm! General El, Lord Ahmed's alert!" The knight rushed to El, took a deep breath and said loudly: "Lord Ahmed has encountered the vanguard of the undead army, including gargoyle scouts and death knights! Their speed over the mountains exceeded our expectations, but so far there are still sporadic scout troops, Lord Ahmed is organizing interception!"

"Those dead people are going crazy!" El silently calculated Ahmed's current position in his heart, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.Although the team led by Ahmed is all mountain hunters equipped with mounts, it is impossible to run a long distance in only half a day.In other words, those undead have quietly touched the outside of Sword Castle!

El once saw the dark sky that covered the sky and the sun in Istaron, which was also a powerful auxiliary magic that supported the undead army's hundred-day march.But now the dark sky in the sky still has a long distance. According to Tiana's calculation, it will take a week to advance. God knows how these undead scouts got here?
"Undead? Impossible!" Laurana, who came out right behind El, raised her eyebrows and flatly denied: "It is impossible for an army of undead to march in daylight, even for scattered scout troops. There's no point in going this far. Gargoyles and death knights... what kind of combination is that? Never heard of it."

"Mr. Ahmed is not a reckless person. Since he said that, he must have encountered a lot of trouble. No matter what method they used to drive here, they must have something to do with the fraternity gang. I'm afraid this time we It's about to fall into the dilemma of attacking from both sides again." El said with a sullen face.

"No, maybe you're right, there is indeed a collusion between them, but the brotherhood is the problem we must solve immediately, and these undead are probably just a suspicious strategy to confuse our sight." Laurana thought for a while and shook her head road.

"Well, no matter what, we have to hurry up." El nodded and said, "Don't study the fifty sets of gem weapons, I will use them now, and give them a little surprise."

The sound of long horns suddenly sounded in the military camp of the Istarenians, breaking the dull tranquility in the city.After hearing the sound of the horn, the Eastalen warriors scattered all over the city immediately put down their chores and headed towards the barracks as fast as they could.

There is a unique rhythm hidden in the sound of the horn, which may not be recognized by ordinary people, but it is as familiar as a local accent to the ears of Istaron warriors.That was not an ordinary assembly signal, but a sign that war was about to start.

Why go to war?Against whom?This is not a question a soldier should ask. When the horn blows, their duty is to unite under the banner of the white lion as soon as possible, and launch an attack with the sword of their commander.

Soon, another short and concise horn sounded from the direction of the barracks, this time it was the assembly call of the night watchmen.Due to special reasons, the two troops have not been merged so far, and the orders of the troops are also independent, but this does not affect their combat effectiveness.After hearing the horn, the solemn faces of the Night Watchmen softened.After the last battle in the Brown Earth Hills, they never fought in a real sense. Seeing the efforts of the people of Istaren, some fighters have already begun to have doubts about their future.They once thought that they were going to sink like this, but in the end, they still waited for the order to fight.

"It looks like we're going to fight seriously, but we don't know who the enemy is." A night watchman casually complained to the Istaren soldiers beside him.

"Who else is there? It must be those brotherhoods that deserve to be knifed. They only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong." The veteran of Istaron spat a mouthful of thick phlegm and said disdainfully.

The murderous aura in the Istaren army camp was gathering. Even the dark clouds covering the sky seemed to feel the pressure. The clouds began to roll, and dull thunder could be faintly heard.

A drop of black rain fell from the sky.
