Carry the Ring of Elden with you

"Don't panic, separate three people and take out their crossbows to contain this monster. It can't make a few hits in the house." The guard captain immediately issued an order to stabilize the situation.

After hearing the order, three of the team members immediately retreated, and the others immediately reduced their formation.The three men took out the short crossbows used for indoor shooting from their waists, aimed at the head, neck and wings of the ancient King Storm Eagle, and pulled the trigger.

When the Ancient King Storm Eagle heard the sound of a bowstring being pulled, he suddenly raised his left wing, and the three powerful crossbows were actually knocked away.The crossbow arrow that was knocked away lost its accuracy, and the arrowhead was inserted into the ceiling, and the arrowhead trembled slightly due to the reaction force.

"——!" The ancient king of Storm Eagle suddenly turned his head and looked at the three guys who were shooting cold arrows at him with evil eyes. He used his claws hard and with a "click" sound, he broke the neck of a guard who fell on the ground.Then it let out a fierce cry, and its huge figure flew nimbly around the room, flying towards the three guards.

Nephili Lu said at this time: "Don't worry about these guards. Go and capture the city lord, but don't let him escape."

The Ancient Storm Eagle King had already killed a guard who was shooting arrows at him. After hearing Neferi Lu's order, he screamed in grievance, then viciously kicked the body of the dead guard away and headed towards the already dead guard. Android Fisher, who ran up to the second floor, flew away.

"Protect the city lord!" The guard captain suddenly turned around and shouted anxiously. He could see that the monster was difficult to deal with even by himself, and the guard responsible for escorting it was no match for it.

But just when the guard captain turned around to remind him, he suddenly heard the roar of the storm and the roar of lightning.

Neferi Lu held the two hand axes tightly, and the gray-white storm air flow rotated from around her body. The battle ax in her hands was still shining with golden thunder, and merged into the gray-white storm with the twisting steps of the female warrior.

Even after using the [Rock Helm Technique], the figures of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion disappeared into Neferi Lu's storm, adding a touch of blood to the gray-white airflow.

However, the storm did not end there. Instead, it became more and more intense. A big hole opened in the roof of the city lord's mansion before it gradually subsided.

Chapter 166: Are there shadow thorns here too?

Under Neferi Lu's storm, no one among the guards of the city lord's palace survived. However, their armor made of heavy gold outside at least wrapped their bodies and barely looked like human beings, so that they would not die completely. corpse.

On the other side, the Ancient King of Storm Eagles had already pressed Android Fisher's fat body to the ground, stepped on his back with one claw, and held down his head with the other to let the city lord's face touch the clean marble floor. a close contact.

The city lord's family and maids looked at the Ancient Storm Eagle King in horror, their sharp beaks and sharp claws preventing them from moving forward.

After all, the guards who dared to step forward had already been blown out by the giant bird with its wings one by one. Their bodies hit the wall and fell to the ground without any movement.

"Damn it, where are the guards!!! Get this bird off my back!" Android Fisher, who was trampled under the claws of the Ancient Storm Eagle King, didn't know that all his guards had been wiped out, and he was furious. swore.

Then he was pecked hard on the buttocks by the Ancient Storm Eagle King who understood what he said. The severe pain made Android Fisher, who was used to being domineering, finally realize that his life was now in the hands of his enemy.

"You must be the Lord of Android Fisher." Neferi Lu's voice came from down the stairs. The female warrior stepped across the stairs step by step. Each step sounded like the explosion that was still going on outside. The hearts of those still alive in the house.

Since Android Fisher was holding his head down by the Ancient King of Storm Eagles, he could only make a vague voice: "What on earth are you going to do with the Golden Federation! Why do you want to attack our Parliament of Austrian Laws!"

Neferi Lu came to the second floor and took a cursory glance at the city lord's family. Her eyes stopped when she looked at a maid who was hiding behind the crowd, showing an interesting look.

She did not respond to the city lord's words, but raised her hand ax, pointed it at the maid, and said: "Although you hide your aura very well, it is a pity that the wolf is still very conspicuous among the sheep no matter how disguised it is. .I’m interested in what your true identity is.”

The others turned around in confusion and looked in the direction Neferi Lu pointed, paying attention to the maid.

"Bell Toris?" Another maid who had a good relationship with that maid called out her name.

The maid called "Bell Toris" was a girl with long sky-blue hair. She raised her pitiful face, and her speaking eyes were filled with tears of fear and confusion.

She plopped down on her knees and replied cowardly: "Great female warrior, I am just a little maid in the city lord's house. I don't know anything. Please let me go."

But these words of begging for mercy did not make Neferi Lu waver in any way. She picked up a thumb-sized gravel from the ground with an indifferent expression and threw it at the maid's lowered head.If the other party didn't dodge, the stone would definitely hit her head.

Sure enough, the figure of the maid who was kneeling on the ground suddenly turned into a pool of something like black water, blending into the shadows of everyone on the ground.

The stone thrown by Neferi Lu made a thumb-sized hole in the smooth marble floor, but it did not cause any harm to Bertolis, who had already merged into the shadow.

"A shadow thorn lurking from the Charles Empire?" Nephili Lu recognized the true identity of the maid and looked at Android Fisher with a stunned expression on her face and chuckled.

Bertolis's voice came from all directions, as if every shadow had traces of her.She changed her cowardly voice and said with a charming and doubtful tone: "I'm curious how you saw my disguise? You know, I have been lurking in the city lord's mansion for three years, and there is no one People can see my flaws, even the mages who come to my house as guests."

"Maybe I have a pair of eyes that are good at spotting rats. Compared with others, the aura from the dark shadows on your body is as obvious as the smell wafting in the breeze." Nephili Lu shook her head slightly, she He just wanted to capture the city lord alive as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected situation.

The female warrior took out a torch from somewhere, and after lighting it, the light containing the golden blessing shone in the hall of the city lord's palace, and Bertolis' figure was revealed not far behind Neferi Lu.This shadow thorn is holding a dagger tightly in his hand. Looking at the black energy constantly flowing on it, it is obvious that the person injured by this dagger will be haunted by a vicious curse even if he does not die.

"Damn torches." Bertolis' expression changed. As a Shadow Thorn, of course she knew from regular contacts from her companions that a newly emerged city-state possessed a torch that could break all disguised magic.She kept it in mind, but since she had never seen it before, she just took it as a warning.

However, when the shadow thorn actually saw it, he realized how annoying this torch was. The mere illumination destroyed the camouflage spell on his body.

Bertolis gave up her plan to attack and ran away from the hall with dexterity.

As an assassin, Bertolis is very capable.Now that her position was discovered and there was no way to kill him with one blow, she would not fight a warrior head-on no matter what.Now, the most important thing to do as an undercover agent is to send out the information about Star Observation City.

Bertolis was very fast, but Neferi Lu was even faster.The strong figure of the female warrior was wrapped in the storm and instantly came behind Bertolis, aiming at her and raising the hand ax covered with yellow lightning.

"Are you kidding..." Bertolis's expression turned desperate when she realized that she couldn't get rid of the other party.With the presence of the torch, she couldn't blend into the shadows like before, and could only watch the sharp ax blade hit her neck.

The strength of the Shadow Thorn was no different from that of the previous guards of the City Lord's Mansion in front of Neferi. They were all killed like babies learning to talk.

And Neferi Lu could finally come to Android Fisher, whose face had turned purple from suppressing the pressure. The city lord's family members did not dare to escape on their own. No one who saw Nefeli Lu's speed just now would think that He can outrun this female warrior.

"Don't try too hard, man, he can't breathe." Neferi Lu discovered Android Fisher's condition and teased the ancient king of Storm Eagle.

After hearing this, the Ancient King of Storm Eagle slightly moved away his claws that were pressing on Android Fisher's head, and the city lord immediately breathed in the fresh air greedily.

"I will not surrender! The great God of Magic will bless His believers, and the Arcane Council will never surrender to you barbarians!" Android Fisher twisted his body on the ground, like a The wild boar rolled: "And it's useless for you just to catch me! Just relying on this kind of bird monster, the army and mages of Star Observation City will soon wipe out you!"

Chapter 167: Beasts Bernard

"I will not surrender. The troops and mages of Stargazing City will soon wipe out you!"

Neferi appeared and said to the city lord: "It doesn't matter whether you surrender or not. I'm arresting you just because Roland wants to meet the city lord of Stargazing City."

Then the female warrior raised her head and patted the ancient Storm Eagle King on the back.The latter squatted down obediently, and the female warrior turned over. Then the huge war eagle grabbed Android Fisher's body with its claws and flew out of the city lord's mansion through the hole in the roof, flying towards the outside of the city.

The family members of Android Fisher watched blankly as the family leader was snatched away by the eagle like a chicken. They didn't pay attention to themselves at all and looked at each other in confusion.

After a long time, someone spoke up and asked the city lord's wife: "Madam, what should we do next?"

The first wife was stunned for a moment, and then a barrel of explosives exploded outside near the city lord's palace. She realized that Stargazing City was being attacked by armies from other countries.She grabbed her son, the city lord's eldest son with the right to inherit, and ran towards her room.

"What else can we do? We've already attacked the city and run away." The wife's panicked voice came. She had always relied on the city lord to dominate her family. She didn't know how to command the other family members. All she could think of was to bring them with her. His children quickly escaped from Stargazing City.

At this moment, the city lord who was forced to move in the air finally saw the appearance of his city clearly. The city hall, observatory, military barracks in the city, and guard hall were all engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.From the perspective of the City Lord's Mansion, he could barely see tiny figures moving through the sea of ​​fire, killing the surviving people.

The army... where is the army?Where are my troops?Andrew Fisher barely opened his eyes while flying rapidly in the high altitude. The airflow passing over his face shook the fat on the cheeks of the city lord himself.He reluctantly opened his eyes and looked around the city for his troops.

He couldn't count on the state of the military camp. Now he could only hope that the troops in the camp would react in advance and leave the place that turned into a sea of ​​fire.

He looked at the main roads in Star Observation City, and all the intersections were occupied by creatures he had never seen before (winged hybrids), and his soldiers were fighting for these main roads.

However, most of these scenes take place in wealthy areas. This is natural. No one would set up a department like the city hall in a poor area.

This has led to a very ridiculous phenomenon. In order to avoid the war, the rich in the rich areas have crazily poured into the poor areas where they usually would not even set foot, and the ground is full of excrement and all kinds of garbage.The civilians in the poor areas locked their doors tightly and refused to come out, but many beggars and gangsters stopped many rich people who had no guards to protect them, and even openly robbed them.The wealthy people with escorts unceremoniously interrupted those who dared to reach out to their master or mistress with dirty hands, resulting in bloody conflicts.

The more daring people found that the army to protect the power of the rich did not show up for a long time, so they sneaked into the rich areas in reverse, went into the clean and beautiful houses where no one was around, and crazily stuffed valuables into their pockets. , there are also poor people who have been hungry for several days, knocking open the kitchen door of the house, and frantically feeding the meat, honey, and milk to their mouths with dirty hands.

The city wall of Star Observation City was the focus of attention from the Storm Eagles. Eighty percent of the heads of the third and fourth rounds of high explosives were thrown at the city wall, blowing it to pieces.But fortunately, the materials used in the city wall are relatively solid and relatively strong, and there has been no phenomenon of the city wall being blown down.

But even this caused serious damage to the defenders of the city wall. Many people had never seen this tactic of throwing explosive barrels from the air, and were frightened by the roar of the explosion and were stunned on the spot.

At any rate, the mid-level and high-level generals on the city wall responded quickly. Although they had never seen this tactic, they commanded the archers and mages to launch a counterattack against the Storm Eagles in the air, and achieved relatively good results for a while.At least the Storm Eagles began to suffer casualties one after another, but the number was very small compared to the number of people killed by the Star Observation City defenders.

Android Fisher secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his city was not breached, he would still have the leverage to talk to the enemy commander.

Then he saw a torrent rushing over with bursts of dust from the plain not far outside the city wall of Star Observation City.

what is that?Andrew Fisher was shivering from the cold, trying hard to open his eyes in the cold air, trying to identify what was rushing towards his city.

Neferi Lu, half-crouching on the back of the Ancient Storm Eagle King, seemed to know what the city lord was thinking, and said, "Did you see that, those are the bravest warriors of the Golden Federation."

Of course, the soldiers on the city wall also saw this torrent of steel rushing towards the city wall at home, but they were unable to allocate more manpower to stop it due to the harassment of the storm eagle above their heads.

"Damn it, where did all our support go? The city wall needs support!! Find the Android City Lord quickly!" As a commander, Gadri's head is getting bigger now.There were damn eagles flying everywhere that day. They were obviously just monsters, but they seemed to be as smart as humans.After discovering that flying at low altitude would be killed by bows, arrows and spells, he no longer did this. Instead, he flew back and brought barrels of high explosives to the city wall.

Many soldiers have been driven crazy by the explosion!But he couldn't deal with the eagles throwing things overhead.Whether it is the arrows shot or the spells released by the mages, the range is far from enough!

And after he saw the cavalry rushing towards this side from outside the city, he even shouted frantically.

If it were normal, he would just laugh wildly and loudly when he saw the enemy using cavalry to attack the strong city wall.But now that the enemies have figured out the tactic of using flying monsters to throw explosives at high altitudes, he doesn't dare to bet that this cavalry is a simple cavalry.

What made Gadri even more devastated was that the expensive magic weapons on the city wall were destroyed by those damn explosive barrels. Otherwise, this kind of group charge would have been fatal under the suppression of the magic weapons.

"For the golden tree!" The guard of the big tree shouted the name of the golden tree, holding the golden halberd high, pointing the tip of the halberd at the sky, the body of the halberd emitting golden light, and the blessings sworn by the golden tree flowed to him and his comrades who were charging together. .

He rushed to the front of the team, preparing to use his body to knock open the crumbling city gate that had been bombed.

But a man rushed out from behind on horseback, faster than the big tree guard's horse sprint. He quickly caught up with the big tree guard and took the leader's position.

"I'm sorry. My dignity prevents me from charging behind you, and I can make us go faster." The luxurious robe with a white background and blue edges rumbled in the air as the horse galloped, and Bernal's words started from came from the Juzhu helmet.

Before the big tree guard could say anything, he seemed to hear the roars of hundreds of beasts gathering together from Bernal.

The big tree guard didn't feel anything, but he felt that the horse was running faster and faster, and the eyes under the blindfold became fierce.If he turned back at this time, he would find that the wolves running with the Kaidan mercenaries roared excitedly, their eyes turned scarlet, and there was a thin layer of red in the golden light of the golden oath on their bodies. The light, as if led by the wolf king, spontaneously marched towards the prey.

They spontaneously left the Kaidan mercenaries and gathered towards Bernal, just like beasts paying homage to their beast king.

Chapter 168: The bombers are coming

Commander Gadri on the city wall suddenly discovered that the aura of the torrent of steel had changed.

If the feeling of the charging cavalry just now was still within the normal human range, then when the leading cavalry was changed, Gadri felt that the ones charging towards Star Observation City were not human cavalry, but dangerous ones. beast.

No, they must be prevented from entering the city.Gadri's heart was beating wildly, and his intuition told him that if this team of cavalry was allowed to enter the city, his side would have no chance of winning.

"Kalema! Hurry up and lead three groups of soldiers to block the city gate! Don't let the other side destroy the city gate!" Gadri grabbed a sub-commander at hand and sprayed spit on the latter's face.

The male sub-commander with a slightly younger face nodded subconsciously when Gadri yelled at him. After the former let go of him, he hurriedly led three relatively full soldiers from the side of the city wall to avoid the harassment of the Storm Eagle. One side came to the city gate corridor.

When he arrived at the city gate corridor, Kalema discovered that the wall of the city gate had suffered many serious cracks in the explosion just now and had to be reinforced immediately.

What to do? We have to find a way to remedy the situation quickly. The enemy is coming soon!Kalema showed an anxious look. He saw the enemy's cavalry regiment approaching quickly through the cracks in the city gate.

"Hurry up and move the rocks and wooden piles to block the corridor. Go!" In desperation, Kalema realized that the enemy's marching speed would not give him time to reinforce the crumbling city gate, so he could only think of simply closing it down. The whole passage is blocked.

As for how to clean up later, that is a matter for later. How many obstacles can be moved in this short time to prevent the other party from entering the city smoothly will be a big deal.

"But captain, where are we going to find stones and wooden stakes?" the soldier behind him asked doubtfully.

Kalema replied without thinking: "Of course we'll move it from the nearby warehouse. It's just a few steps away. We can move as much as we can."

As a result, the soldier showed a bitter smile: "But Captain, when I came here, I found that the warehouse had just been blown up by the eagles overhead. The wooden piles inside were all set on fire, and the rocks were burned hot. How can we move them? .”

Kalema was stunned, and an inexplicable chill flashed through his heart.As a commander, he is not stupid. He understands the most deadly part of the enemy's tactics.

The group of eagles overhead have been targeting various important facilities on our side since the beginning of the war. No wonder the reinforcements have not come yet, and no wonder no mages from the observatory have come to support them.The more Kalema thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. He felt that all his actions were planned by the enemy.

"Captain, I...what should we do now?" The soldier's words brought Kalema back to his senses, making the sub-commander smile miserably.

He is not a mage, just an ordinary warrior.All of his family members were in Stargazing City. Even if he ran away, his family members would be implicated and prosecuted after the war. He could only hope that after his death in the war, his family members would receive some preferential treatment.

He glanced at the timid soldiers in front of him, hesitated for a moment and said with determination: "Raise the shield, let's hold up the city gate, believe me. The reinforcements from Stargazing City will come soon, we just need to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. Enough."

The soldiers heard their commander's assurance and regained their courage.Especially after they saw Kalema setting an example by raising the shield in his hand against the city gate and transmitting the full force of the ether into the shield to make it sparkle, they were full of confidence in his words and believed that they would be able to hold on. until reinforcements arrive.

But in fact, only Kalema knew that reinforcements from Stargazing City would never appear.

The soldiers raised their shields one after another, forming a shield wall against each other, blocking the city gate.Kalema felt the movement of the soldiers behind him and closed his eyes.Because he had deceived the soldiers, he was not qualified to say anything encouraging or comforting.

However, just when Kalema was ready to die in the line of duty, something unexpected happened.

"Be careful - the enemy's bombing is coming again!!!" The panicked footsteps of soldiers came from overhead, so that people in the corridor could also feel how panicked the people above were through this movement.

Gadri wiped the sweat from his face, and after seeing clearly some of the red explosive barrels grabbed by the Storm War Eagle's feet, he immediately shouted loudly: "Find a bunker quickly, and get down!!!! Cover your ears and open your eyes!" Open your mouth!!!”

Although people in this world have never seen bombings, the battlefield is the place where people learn the fastest. The soldiers in Star Observation City quickly learned how to avoid being killed by bombings in the first few rounds of bombings.

Sure enough, before Gadri could yell out, the soldiers immediately hid next to the nearest battlement bunker and fell to the ground as soon as they heard the whistling sound of the explosive barrels falling.There is no way, after all, the slow-minded guys have already gone to see the God of Magic they believe in.

In the sky, the Storm Eagles clung to the last batch of explosive barrels. Their main target of attack this time was the gate of Star Observation City, in order to allow Bernal and the others to quickly enter the city.

Five Storm Eagles temporarily formed a bombing squad. They waved their wings, arrived at the gate of Star Observation City, and began to dive at an almost ninety-degree right angle.The cold wind whistled, hitting the Storm Eagle, and the gray down quilt was blown tightly against its strong body, leaving traces of the wind.

They nimbly dodged the arrows fired at them, and soon reached the airspace within bombing distance. They all carried explosive barrels on their talons and threw them at the city gate. One of the red barrels was accidentally thrown in. Inside the corridor.

Kalema, who was holding his shield against the city gate in the corridor, widened his eyes before he could turn around and react. Bright orange-red firelight shone in front of his eyes.The explosive barrel was not only filled with high explosives, but Roland also asked the dwarves to add steel nails, iron pieces and other DLC items into it.

When Roland made this request, the dwarf craftsmen were still mumbling why they added these seemingly meaningless things.It wasn't until Roland exploded an explosive barrel, and the steel nails and iron fragments scattered by the explosion penetrated deeply into the dummy's armor, that the dwarves suddenly realized it.

Then Roland felt that these dwarves seemed to like tinkering with explosives.

This is true for a dummy wearing armor made by dwarves himself, let alone a soldier who can't even wear leather armor.The corridor seemed to have turned into a purgatory on earth, with bodies of soldiers scattered everywhere and blood covering the walls.The steel fragments pushed by the huge kinetic energy shattered the flesh and blood of these soldiers, even if Kalema blocked his shield in front of him, the same result would occur.

When the Storm Eagles completed the last wave of bombing, Bernal and the others also arrived near Stargazing City.

"boom."

The already crumbling city gate structure became even more fragile after the recent bombing. Bernal raised his long sword and waved a sword energy, and the city gate fell inward, killing Kalema and his squad of soldiers. The broken corpse was buried underneath.

The white wolves with bloodshot eyes filed in. They took advantage of the fact that the soldiers did not stand up under the recent bombardment and ran up the city wall with flexible limbs. They opened their bloody mouths and bit into unprotected places such as the neck.

The Kaidan mercenaries and the Knights of Grek followed closely behind, and with their superb riding skills, they began to rampage on the city wall.
