Rethusus stood still......

The generalissimo of the Empire was dressed in dark dragon tooth armor, and his scarlet cloak fluttered in the night wind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Rethusus' burly figure was more than half a head taller than the guards around him, and the faint coercion emanating from the living legend permeated the entire battlefield.

This is no ordinary battlefield, the dark red and dry earth stretches to the end of the sky, and the lava billows in the dark clouds, as if pressing on the top of people's heads, suffocating...... A spatial rift nearly 100 meters high stood behind Rethusus, as if a terrible wound had been torn out of the entire plane.

The Generalissimo of the Empire was surrounded by just over a hundred heavily armed Imperial knights...... More than 100 fifth-order war king-level flying dragon knights. Each knight was lying beside him a fourth-order or fifth-order bipedal wyvern with different attributes, although these were all wurms, but when the knight and the wyvern were perfectly united, the combat power that erupted was far beyond that of ordinary war king-level powerhouses. There are only 100 cavalry, but they are also the strongest legions in the empire and even the entire continent.

There weren't many corpses at Rethusus' feet, but each one was stunningly large and muscular, and even the stumps that fell to the ground were larger than the average large monster. However, the stumps of these corpses did not belong to the giants, and the dark red skin, the membranous wings on their backs, and the hideously twisted horns on the top of their heads revealed their true identities......

The Demon Clan, and the Demon Clan at the level of the Sixth-Order Demon King, is a famous Great Demon Lord who has left a record in the Imperial Military Aircraft Department, and this kind often appears as the final boss in heroic epics. The strength is comparable to that of an adult ancient wisdom dragon, the Titan in the Clouds, even in the boundless abyss hell, it belongs to the corpse of a great demon of a wealthy family. Eleven were placed at Rethusus' feet, and farther away were armies of demons that were crumbling and fleeing. Although the naturally bloodthirsty and warlike demon clan once they enter a battle state, only death can stop their madness, and the act of "retreating" rarely appears in the demon army, but when the demons face a demon god-level existence, they can't even raise the courage to start a war.

"Your Excellency, Marshal. Do we want to chase it, this time the Demon Gate actually appeared out of thin air so close to the imperial capital, and the subordinates felt that there must be some reason. We should grab a few high-level demons who can communicate and torture them...... Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Marshal?"

Rethusus kicked the head of the demon at his feet, which was as big as a house, and Harbie Kelliens ...... This is the ancient demon king whose name has been circulating on the mainland for more than 3,700 years, and is recorded in the first few pages of the relevant materials of the Imperial Military Machinery Department and the Holy See's adjudication body, and is also the supreme leader of this demon invasion army. However, Rethusus's attention was clearly not on the dead Great Demon King. His eyes were staring straight ahead. There was no reaction to his subordinates' suggestions, and it wasn't until the flamboyant dragoon, with a face that seemed to be smiling forever, pushed his face directly in front of Rethuses, that the wandering Imperial Marshal noticed her presence.

"Hmm, Ankana, why are you so close to me? Why, who made you so angry?" The voice coming from under the full-coverage helmet was cold and hoarse, barely rippling, as if it were coming from a magic mechanism.

One of the strongest troops in the Empire, the Captain of the Sea Dragon Knights, Ankana, let out a long sigh of helplessness. She didn't know what had happened to her legendary commander, and she looked absent-minded in a mission like taking on the demon legions.

Ankana really can't think of an empire today. Even on the entire continent, there will be any unexpected events that can make the generalissimo unrelenting, if there is, it can only be the generalissimo's messy family affairs, and it is no secret what the willful and dissolute master mother does on weekdays. However, with the unique intuition of women, Ankana found that the generalissimo's troubles this time were far greater than before, and even the generalissimo himself had some strange changes that Ankana was very familiar with, but could not remember.

After reining in his mind and listening to Ankana's report again, Retuses nodded silently, and Ankana gave an order, and more than 100 warrior king-level knights behind him suddenly took off on their mounts and soared into the air, chasing after the fleeing demon legion, although the other party had already pulled a distance, but in the whole continent, and even in all known planes, there was no army whose mobility ability could be better than that of the strongest legion in the empire, the Wyvern Knights.

Ankana did not chase after the army, but leaned in front of Retuses and said softly: "Lord Marshal, do you think that this time the Demon Gate appeared so close to the Imperial Capital without any warning, could it be related to the operation of the Holy See not long ago?" This time, if you hadn't been nearby, blocking the entrance of the Demon Legion before they stepped into the portal, and killing the Great Demon King Harbi Kellyens, who was the leader of the Legion, in one fell swoop, I'm afraid that this Demon Invasion might have turned into a vast crisis that threatened the survival of the Imperial Capital Black Mountain, and if this kind of thing happens a few more times, I'm worried about ......."

"Rest assured, I can feel that the spatial agitation in the vicinity has gradually subsided, and the loopholes in the laws of the plane are being patched on their own, and a portal of this size should not appear again. What's more, the assembly of the demon army also takes time, and this demon army should also happen to be nearby, and after discovering the spatial rift, it planned to launch an invasion before even a decent character arrived, so it was called in such a mess. This is only the surface plane of the Hell Abyss, and there will be no troublesome demon god-level existence. ”

"Marshal, we are in the abyss of hell right now, do you want to ...... Mobilize everyone to find out what happened to Miss Maria. ”

"......" Retu Thurston was silent for a while, and then took out a necklace pendant out of nowhere, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it silently: "No need...... Maria's whereabouts...... I already know it......"

As Rethus's right-hand man, Ankana naturally recognized at a glance that it was the family crest that belonged to the generalissimo's eldest daughter, Miss Maria. This magic insignia from the hand of the Master Wizard can record the last information left by the owner, including the appearance of the enemy or benefactor, and the last wishes left by the owner. Seeing this, Ankana instantly understood why the Imperial Marshal looked so preoccupied.

"Miss Maria...... She was...... How did she die?" Rethuss, the eldest daughter, is recognized as the one who is most like her "father", and the eldest lady with a detached personality likes to mix in the barracks since she was a child, and is deeply liked and loved by these high-ranking generals around Rethusus, and it is even rumored that she will be the successor of the generalissimo of the empire, becoming the first female marshal of the empire. And Ankana doted on the cute and confident girl as if she were her own sister, and after seeing this emblem, she was already in tears, and her voice was suddenly a little choked.

"Tell me, Marshal, whoever killed Miss Maria, whether that fellow is a demon or a lackey of the Holy See, or whatever, I swear I will not let him go!"

Retusus clenched his fists and clutched the emblem in his palm, but remained silent. She didn't answer Ankana's question, but the image of a slender and handsome teenager kept coming back to her mind.

***************************

"Didn't you just say that Lady Ysera was looking for me, and where is she now?"

Rhine didn't answer Goron's question, he took Chopper and turned to leave, until he closed the gate, as if he suddenly remembered something, turned to Goron and said: "Mother Ysera shouldn't have come back at this time, you just wait here, as long as you don't leave the castle gate, you can do whatever you want." ”

The door slammed shut shut from the outside, leaving the stunned little ogre. Even Goron, who has only been out of the forest for more than two years, knows that this kind of hospitality will never be in the etiquette and customs of human beings.

Ogres never knew what politeness was, and Goron was also full of curiosity about this legendary dragon castle. Since Rhine said that he could move around at will, then Goron also honestly and unceremoniously wandered around, the hall, the bedroom, the guest room, the warehouse, the kitchen, ...... Goron checked the past one by one, and the doors here didn't seem to be locked, even if he used the second divine power to see through the walls, Goron didn't find the existence of a dungeon or secret room, this dragon castle was just like his appearance, it was so simple and desolate.

Goron always felt that something was wrong, and he immediately realized that there were no magic traps or traps in the castle. It's not surprising that there are no magic traps, where does the castle inhabited by the strongest and seventh-order dragons in the empire still need the protection of magic traps, but there are no magic mechanisms set up here, not even a magic crystal lamp, which is a bit unreasonable. Even if you are a commoner in the imperial capital, you can always find a few simple and cheap magic props at home.

Goron continued to look and finally found a locked room on the top floor, and Goron was about to use his clairvoyant eyes to look inside the room, but suddenly he felt a deadly threat, and the instinctive warning came so suddenly and for no reason, but Goron stood quietly in front of the door for a while, and finally decided to turn and leave.

Not finding any clues related to the troll Rafana, Goron returned to the castle hall with a faint disappointment, and simply sat on the steps of the interior, pestle up his chin and stared at the castle gate in a daze. Goron didn't know how long he had been sitting, but as he fell asleep, the castle gate was pushed open again by a series of rhythmless footsteps, and this time it was a green-haired beauty in a gorgeous dress who walked staggeringly.

She had a smoky smell of alcohol on her body, and a look on her face that looked like a crying smile, and it was not until she reached the stairs that she realized Goron's presence. The green-haired beauty looked at Goron for a moment, and the next moment she pounced on Goron and hugged him into her arms and cried loudly...... (To be continued.) )
