Standing above the outer wall of Enoch City, Hyde couldn't help but glance at his pocket watch again.
The band of light has broken through the clouds, shining the scorching sun on the black land. According to the calculation method of the material world, the current time should be a quarter past nine in the morning.The material transportation team that was expected to arrive in the afternoon two days ago still did not appear on the horizon.
"This is not normal. The first team should arrive anyway."
"Maybe it used to be, but not necessarily now."
Ling sat on the edge of the city wall, dangling her long legs boredly. In this posture, it seemed that even a little bit of wind might make her fall from a height.
"The situation outside is not very good. There are large groups of armed mobs everywhere near Enoch. Those guys are crazy, and even the alienated beasts in the wilderness will avoid them."
"The flag of the imperial guards is not as easy to use as before. It is really not easy to kill all the way from the floating ice bay."
Hyde asked a little strangely.
"They only need to dispatch a 500-man dirty blood knight from this city, and after a few charges, they will be able to clear the entire surrounding area of the royal city? And how do you know that?"
Ling turned her head and looked at him up and down for several seconds.
"I've been out of town with the team a few times before... I remember I should have mentioned this, have you gotten worse? I think you look shorter than you did a few days ago .”
Hyde's first reaction was shame,
"You are short, your whole family is short—"
But he only said half of the words when he realized that Ling's serious face didn't look like he was joking.
"are you serious......?"
Hyde's face twitched a few times, and he couldn't help but began to carefully examine his current situation.Compared with a few days ago, his magic power level has declined a little, and even his spirit and personality have changed slightly.
He looked at the somewhat narrow vision below the city wall, only to realize that he had been putting his feet on his feet just now to poke his head out of the city tower.
"If you want me to say, you should go back with the next team. Don't stay here, maybe the alliance can find a way to solve your problems."
Ling paused, and rarely changed to a more acceptable statement.
"You've done enough for the shadows to leave—"
"Leave the rest to you?"
Hyde said the rest of her sentence first, then spread his hands and smiled.
"Stay in a safe place, stabilize the situation from a distance, prepare various preparations for the surface of Nod, and then wait for your good news?"
"It sounds exactly like what you and Williams said to me on Tangerang Island two years ago. But the last time I waited on the island, it turned out that... she fell into the volcano into the lava in the mouth. To this day, I still feel guilty about that incident."
Having said that, he whispered in a voice that only he could hear:
"That's why I'm willing to throw in the towel on that..."
Ling didn't hear the last part of what he was saying.
"But it's not your fault, and Ella isn't dead. She's back healthy."
"But this result cannot be replicated."
Hyde interrupted her again,
"If I had been involved last time, you might not have been defeated so quickly by the mental flaw. You only need to delay for a few more minutes, and Professor Yusuf will arrive."
"There will be no sacrifices and dangerous coincidences, and the professor will not get lost in the dreamland in order to find Ella—if the result this time is the same as last time, who are you going to make pay that price again?"
Ling froze, as if meeting the boy in front of him for the first time.
"That's why you decided to stay?"
Hyde shook his head,
"It's not as complicated as you think. I just hope that I can always stand in the incident in the future, instead of just being a 'contributing' bystander. I am Hyde Beluse, and I have my own pride. This has nothing to do with whether It has nothing to do with inheriting the family.”
"If you want to put it in a more romantic way, let me think about it... well, at least this way, you won't have any regrets in life, right?"
Ling's gaze crossed the black plain under the city wall, and turned to a very distant direction.
"Don't leave any regrets... It makes sense."
"Since this is the case, you can do whatever you want, just don't hold me back."
Hearing the words, Hyde twitched the corners of his mouth and squeezed out an unseemly arrogant smile.
"Stupid? Who are you talking about?"
Using both hands, he propped himself up to the edge of the city wall.
"Speaking of which, didn't you say that you participated in several annihilations? Tell me, why do you think Queen Enoch just sends out a small team without any pain lately, and only needs a cavalry of 500 people to completely kill her? Can you clear out the mob strongholds near the main road? Or does she still have reservations about cooperation?"
Ling didn't care about the other party's blunt change of topic, but just thought for a few seconds.
"I don't think so. This is just a small matter. Other congressmen's private armies can also do this. There is no need for her to hold back on this kind of thing. This will even leave some opportunities for others to speculate. "
"So it's not that we don't do it, but that there are other things that keep Enoch from taking action... Haven't you noticed, those knights of the guard have been responsible for the reinforcement work of the city recently."
Hyde looked back at the upper city that exudes a metallic luster. The ore rich in Node was melted and used as the main material to build or pour into long silver-white cones. Bridges like spider webs were formed in the past few days. Move, merge into more spacious and strong sections.This makes people in the upper city often have to take long detours to get to where they want to go recently.
He couldn't help laughing:
"This city looks like a tortoise shell. The outer edges of some nobles' mansions are already thicker than the armor on the Guards. Why should they be reinforced? Who can attack such a place?"
Ling pointed out the misunderstanding of thinking.
"So what it wants to defend against is not the army but the huge shock caused by the surfacing. Only such a city will not disintegrate when the two spaces overlap...I think this is why the queen can't draw her hand To solve the cause of the mob, Enoch is about to float up."
-
Alan Zmisi led a team of less than 50 people wandering around the outskirts of the city, and the dead horses filled with spices to cover up the rancid smell meant death in the wilderness.Generally speaking, such groups are rarely attacked by intelligent beings or armed mobs.
The nobles of Enoch are the kings of this world. Even if the pariahs and alienated mobs organize a huge force to swallow these patrolling knights, they will not be able to resist the follow-up revenge.
Because any private army of nobles in the city is enough to wipe them out overnight.
But in less than two days, Allen has been attacked at least four times.Although this poses no threat to him, the team has already suffered casualties.
According to Alan Zimixi's logic, those who cannot protect themselves in this kind of battle are just useless, and of course he will not save them.
At least until half of these people died, he wouldn't have any scruples.
But in any case, the mobs that appeared recently did bring him some surprises. The guys who looked more like monsters than humans were obviously more ferocious than before, and the proportion of untouchables and highly alienated people was also significantly higher than before. to be tall.
These fearless creatures would often surround a lone knight in groups and kill them fiercely, leaving a trace on their armor even with their teeth and nails.A few of them will burst out with a strong curse breath when they are about to die, covering all the surrounding mobs and surrounded knights.
The few people who were killed or injured were dragged to die together precisely because they could not avoid this kind of suicide attack.Those blood knights who were injured due to the outbreak of the curse completely lost control less than an hour after the battle. This time could not support them to return to the city, not to mention that the wounds from the curse could not be healed at all.
Allen sat on the back of the dead horse with his arms crossed, and the sacred object "Sir Rusfan's Ax of Punishment" he held was carried on his shoulders by three knights with specialized strength.The weight of this thing is more than seven hundred pounds, and it is difficult for even a powerful corpse horse to bear such a weight for a long time.
This double-sided battle ax is only made of ordinary Enoch steel, and it should not weigh [-] pounds according to common sense, but every time it completes a kill, the invisible wraith will increase its weight.
In the last battle with the human witch, the sacred object was greatly traumatized, and the original weight of the Ax of Retribution required more blood knights to bear it.He had personally used it to kill more than a hundred people in the past two days, but even so, the wraith didn't make up even one-fifth of the gap.
Allen raised his head, wrinkled his nose and sniffed, then grinned a cruel and excited smile.
He could smell the stench of the Wilderness people clearly even several kilometers away, and there was at least one large gathering point of more than 500 people not far ahead.If there is a carefree killing there, the power of the holy object can be restored to at least half.
Not enough, not enough!
The blond youth scratched the skin on his face with his nails, and they healed almost as soon as his fingers were pulled away.
Not only must it be restored to its original level, but it must be increased five times or even ten times before he can be sure of defeating that terrifying silver-haired female wizard!
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help pulling his pants to prevent them from affecting his balance of movement.
"Your Excellency, Deputy Commander, the front is beyond the scope of our investigation."
A knight rode forward and reminded in a low voice.
From the foot, the flat black soil cuts off.A large number of dark green weeds and distorted bushes that are very common in the wilderness stood in front of them, like a dark green city wall.
Were there so many of these plants before?
This idea just flashed in Zmixi's mind, and the latter waved his hand impatiently.
"Nonsense, let's go around the perimeter again and drive those mobs away."
The Foul Blood Knight was aware of Ellen Zmissy's temper, and he allowed the nobles of the Holy Blood Party to give him opinions, but only once.Noticing the change in the leader's mood, he didn't dare to say anything more and could only retreat back to the team in silence.
Chapter No.17
On the throne, which was even more dimly lit than the surroundings, the Queen woke up from a deep sleep.Her crystal thick light-colored eyelashes stretched upwards, and what was reflected in these blood-colored eyes was the old man in black robe and the empty hall who were waiting in the audience.
"mark......"
"It's me, Your Majesty."
The old man nodded slightly, with undisguised concern on his face.
"You only slept for less than two days this time, which is not conducive to a stable state."
She raised her upper body slightly, and the crumpled palace skirt slid down from her shoulders, exposing a large area of white and greasy skin.
"It's okay, I'm tired of it. Even if I don't sleep anymore, the time left is enough for me to wait until the return day."
The old man turned a blind eye to the fragrant scenery, just sighed, and then took off the large black silk cloak and covered the former.
"Your Majesty should pay attention to health. Nobles who have returned to the material world still need your guidance."
"That's Abigail's job. I just want to walk around like an ordinary blood at the end."
The corners of the queen's lips were slightly raised, and she smiled like a teenage girl looking forward to the beautiful scenery.
Looking back, when was the last time you traveled without burdening the future of the race and without calculating gains and losses? 100 years, or hundreds of years ago...
"By that time, old friend, would you like to walk with me?"
"It would be my pleasure."
Maxwell was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't expected the Queen to say such a thing, but after a few seconds he answered with a smile, just like hundreds of years ago.
"Well before that, we still need to take care of the rest... Is there anything I need to know in these two days."
