Chapter 5, the proud city
When Black Cliff returned to Jieming Castle again, it had only been ten minutes since he left, and the city lord was still talking to the city defense officer Erena in that room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After explaining the reason for his return, the city lord was very happy and said to Black Cliff: "Of course they should be returned, and as soon as possible!" ”
Black Cliff breathed a sigh of relief, "I've already called Locke, and I guess I can send it back before dawn." ”
Black Cliff once again gave a jazz salute to the city lord to show his respect for the city lord.
Duroc first returned to headquarters and brought in a hovercar. In order to send those people back to the city as soon as possible, and at the same time, in order not to suspect the dragons, the hovering prison cart must be sent back to prove that those people did escape on their own.
Duroc also borrowed four paddle beasts from the second team, a strange creature that lives on the sea, and they consist of two parts, divided into an upper part and a lower part. The two parts rotated against each other, and later it was used to transform it into a device specifically designed to power the hovering vehicle. They don't need to eat, they just need plenty of sunlight every day to get into the evening.
With this in hand, Duroc got into the control room that controlled the hovercar and drove the hovercar to the temporary storage site.
It was already past one o'clock in the morning, and Duroc didn't wait for a moment, and quickly arrived at the storage place.
Although it was late at night, the guards guarding the warehouse were still brightly lit. Every time there is a cargo looted by the dragon slayers, the guards here will change shifts to guard day and night.
No sooner had Duroc walked to the door of the guard room than soldiers ran out of it.
"Who?"
"It's me!" Duroc has long been familiar with the guards here during the three years of the Dragon Cutting Regiment.
"Oh! It's Locke! "A fat man in white armor walked out of the room." Did something happen in the middle of the night? ”
"Nothing's wrong! I'm just worried about those who have been rescued, and I want to send them back to the city tonight! ”
"That's it!" The fat officer touched his thick beard.
"Can't you?" Duroc asked anxiously.
The fat officer thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible! But you have to sign it, so I can give an account to Chief Elena. ”
Duroc heard that he agreed, and happily replied, "No problem! ”
After signing, Duroc first found the body of the girl's sister from earlier, wrapped in a cloak. The hovercar had four compartments, which Duroc housed in a separate room at the front of the hover.
Duroc made his way to the first room and found that almost no one was asleep. I don't know what kind of nightmares they went through that kept them awake at night.
Duroc called them out from room to room, and said, "Due to some special circumstances, I need to send you back as soon as possible." So pack your things and let's go! ”
No one asked why, and they all wanted to get back to Adushi as soon as possible.
One by one, they walked into the hovercar until the last girl stopped in front of Duroc.
"Where's my sister?"
Duroc looked at her with a sad look on his face. He suppressed the emotions in his heart, squeezed out a smile from his stiff face, pointed to the first carriage, and said, "There it is!" Don't worry. ”
The girl lowered her head, tears dripping from her eyes. The moonlight refracted extremely harsh light. The girl wiped her tears with her hand and whispered to Duroc, "Thank you!" ”
Then he slowly got on the hovertruck. After everyone had boarded the car, Duroc told the people in each of the three carriages to return to the city of Aduor that they had escaped on their own, without mentioning Murphyt. Although some people asked why, Duroc did not explain it to them, only replied that there was a special reason.
Along the way, Duroc galloped non-stop to the city of Proud Decision. The city is located on the north side of Moffiget, a three-hour drive from Moffiget.
By the time Duroc arrived at the gates of the city, it was already five o'clock in the morning. The stars in the night sky were so thin that they were almost invisible, and the eastern sky was pale white at night.
Although the morning has not yet shaken off the shackles of darkness, the brighter light gives us new hope.
After a night's drive, Duroc, who had not rested, was already tired.
He controlled the direction controller in his hand and slowly parked the car in front of the city gate, and the long hovercar stopped in front of the city gate of the proud city.
Duroc bred himself and jumped out of the control room at the front of the car, heading for the gate guard's position.
But as Duroc had barely taken three steps, an arrow struck the ground in front of him at a distance of only one step.
If it weren't for the sound of arrows hitting the ground, Duroc might have moved on. He was so tired that he had been on the road all night.
This arrow was shot down by the guards on the castle tower, and it was a warning! Duroc looked up at the archer.
Although the light was dim, Duroc could see the man's face clearly. It was a young guard, dressed in grey armor that was completely different from the one in Molfergett, and holding a bow that had just finished shooting.
The archery guard standing at the gate took a deep breath and then shouted, "Who? ”
Duroc took three steps back to the hovercar and raised his hands above his head. He said to the guard, "Human! ”
The guard strapped another arrow to his bow and aimed it in the direction of Duroc, then asked, "What are you doing at this time?" Don't you know that martial law is now in the city? ”
Duroc was speechless for a moment, he didn't expect that Aaron City had just been attacked by the Wyvern. How is it possible not to be under martial law?
Just as Duroc was thinking about how to answer, another arrow landed on the ground at his feet.
Suddenly, a large number of guards appeared on the tower, all with bows and arrows in hand, aiming at Duroc.
"Don't!"
Just as Duroc was wondering how to end, a girl's voice came from behind.
It was the same girl who had been looking for her sister with Duroc, and she quickly ran to Duroc's side. Then get in front of Duroc.
Duroc could only see the girl's shadow, her long hair drifting in front of him in the wind.
Suddenly, Duroc seemed to see his mother standing in front of him, lifting himself to block the damage in front of him.
He restrained the flood of emotions in his heart and pulled himself back from the memory.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Duroc pulled the girl in front of him back behind him. Stand in front of the girl. Then I heard the guard gate on the castle tower and began to discuss. Because of the distance away, Duroc still vaguely heard something "Miss Suo Lan". Maybe it's that girl!
Duroc decided this and shouted loudly towards the castle tower, "We escaped from the Wyvern!" ”
The people on the city tower said: "That little girl, are you the second lady of the Suo Lan family?" ”
The girl stepped back behind Duroc and showed a small sign towards the tower.
Then the gates opened, and Duroc easily entered the city of Pride.
Inside the city gate, a burly guard walked up to Duroc. The opponent's armor was inlaid with military ranks, and he was the head of the guards at the city gates.
"As far as I know, the people who were taken were girls. Who are you? The leader of the guard asked
"He's our savior!" Just as Duroc was about to answer that he was "passing", the girl from before replied behind him.
Duroc immediately added: "It's just passing, and by the way, send them back from Moffett." Not a lifesaver! ”
The leader looked at Duroc for a moment and said, "Are you ...... The people of the Mofi T Varaon Regiment! ”
"It's not!" Duroc replied firmly, "They escaped from the dragon's minions, and I was just a kind man to send them back to the city!" ”
"Then may I ask your Excellency's name?"
"Mo Ming!" Duroc replied
The leader nodded, and then said, "I am Palon, the leader of the guards of the city of Pride. ”
Duroc put his right hand over his left shoulder and gave a jazz salute to the leader. At the same time, the leader also gave a jazz salute to Duroc.
"This is the second lady of the Suo Lan family!" Paloon's gaze turned to the girl behind Duroc.
Duroc didn't know anything about the Lock Blue family, so he was just silent.
The girl behind her replied, "I'm Suo Lan Qingyin." ”
Suddenly, Palong crossed his hands in front of his chest, bowed deeply, and bowed to Suo Lanqing. "I'm sorry! It's all to blame for our city defense that didn't do a good job of defense, and let you suffer. ”
Suo Lan Qingyin hurriedly said: "I can't blame you for this!" Wyverns: They're flying from the sky, and you can't help it. ”
Palong raised his head and said, "I can't shirk my responsibility, I'll send someone to take you home immediately!" ”
After Suo Lanqing said thank you, he walked to the first carriage.
Duroc handed over all the girls to the guards at the city gates and asked them to return the girls to their respective homes. Carried Suo Lan Qingyin's sister out of the first carriage and placed it on the stretcher prepared by the castle tower guards.
With everything in place, Duroc slipped into the hover's control room and prepared to return to Moffett.
Just as the paddle beast was activated, the lock blue Qingyin stood in front of the side window of the control room.
"Mo Ming! You haven't had a good rest! You haven't rested since last night! Suo Lan Qingyin cast a concerned gaze.
"It doesn't matter!" Duroc replied
"No! You still have to rest! Otherwise, it will be dangerous to go back like this! ”
Duroc smiled, "It doesn't matter! I'll be able to go back soon! ”
"Hey!" The girl suddenly lowered her head and whispered, "Can you accompany me to bury my sister?" ”
Although I don't understand why I want to be with myself, I can't refuse such a request. Duroc had no choice but to agree.
Leave the hovercar with the guards of Proud Castle, and follow Suo Lan Qingyin to the wild chrysanthemum garden.
