Chapter 4: The Sand King—Elric
Following the footsteps of the camels, we followed the figure of the camel leader into the vast desert. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The wind blows, whirls, wraps in sand, a rotating pillar of sand, soars into the sky. A wisp of lonely smoke straightened the depth of heaven and earth, and a well rope of time fell, drying the long thoughts of the desert. And the Iron Fist Fortress, the frontline of the Imperial City, stands in the center of this desert, serving as a safe haven for people from the outside world. In the square in the center of the city, there is a stone statue standing there - a powerful hand tightly grips a huge hammer, the head of which is pointed directly at the desert sun, symbolizing strength and peace! In front of the statue, a woman was standing looking at it. His brown hair was tied in a high ponytail, the oblique bangs on his forehead blocked part of the perfect outline of his small face, and his big watery eyes looked at the stone statue in front of him shining with a clear light. Although he was wearing a white and red-edged cloak, he couldn't hide his charming figure, and his upper body was only wrapped with gauze around his infinite chest, revealing a cute little navel. Whoever sees it can't help but fall in love with this beautiful girl.
The wind and sand blew wantonly into the city, where they met, and from time to time she raised her cloak, but it did not blow the woman in the slightest. She looked at the stone statue, the corners of her mouth curled in a beautiful arc, and then she turned to leave, but a man came from the side and rubbed against her.
"Hey~? What are you doing? ”
The woman closed one eye, rubbed her waist that was a little painful, and asked the man, thinking to herself that it was another oil-rubber? I saw the man wrapping his head in a cloth and covering his mouth with a scarf to keep out the wind and sand. He clasped his hands together, kept waving, and kept talking
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The woman straightened up, and was about to say a few words to him, but found that the man had run away. At this time, she lowered her head and suddenly found that the money bag on her waist was missing, needless to say, it must have been done by the person just now! As he spoke, he shouted in the direction of the man,
"Don't run!"
While moving quickly to chase him, the people on the road looked curiously when they heard the voice. The man heard the shouting behind him, subconsciously looked back, and was immediately frightened! I saw that the woman was running towards her at a fast speed, and every time she ran past, an afterimage appeared, but then disappeared the next time she landed, and at the same time another afterimage appeared!
"Damn! So fast? ”
The man said, but he didn't look at the road, and as soon as he turned around, his body hit a soft thing, and it was very elastic! It counteracted his speed in one fell swoop, and bounced him to the ground to lie down, and the money bag in his hand slipped out of his hand and fell into the hands of the person opposite. As soon as he remembered, he saw a whistle stick against his chest, preventing him from moving, and a wine gourd hung on it. The man looked at the man in front of him with his bare eyes, a large animal skin wrapped around his body, a wide hat on his head, and a pair of large eyes staring at him intently. And looking at the face, it's actually a panda! The money grabber panicked, thinking that the orcs had invaded, so he hurriedly turned over and fled with four hands and a rolling belt.
"Whew~"
A gust of wind and sand blew, and then the sound of the woman coming with the wind sounded. She looked in the direction the man was fleeing, then at the man with her purse, and said with a fist
"Thank you for the hero's help, in the phantom. I don't know what to call a hero? ”
The panda's face flushed at the first sight of the phantom, but fortunately he lowered his head a little so that his broad hat covered him. The apparition didn't see it. Panda handed her the money bag, lifted the hat and introduced, his face already calm
"Xin."
The phantom hesitated when he took the money bag, and his face was slightly surprised for a moment - it was actually a panda!
"Ah, thank you. In that case, how about I invite you to have a drink? ”
The phantom suddenly became interested in the cute panda in front of him, and said with a smile. Xin put the whistle stick on his back, and the wine gourd dangled behind him, and he touched his big furry face with his hand embarrassedly and nodded.
"Haha! Go, go. ”
Phantom said with a smile, and Xin didn't say anything, following along.
"Hey~? I said..."
The phantom asked as he walked,
"It's such a big sun, you wear an animal skin and mink fur. Isn't it hot? ”
"Well, but that's my style."
······
At this time, the sunset sprinkled her magical brilliance, seductive and selfless, bathed in the brilliance of beauty, the wind and sand of the desert were quietly calming. In the sky, the flowing glow pouring like a clear spring is lyrical for the sunset, and people are holding their minds in amazement and lingering silently. And the smoke drifting into the sky inadvertently evokes the memories of outsiders to their hometown. As the old saying goes, 'The desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river'. However, the gates, which were normally open, were closed at this time. On the tower of the city, the soldiers defending the city were holding weapons, and their expressions were serious. He was wearing gray-black armor, a gray-black helmet, and a red cloak behind him - that was the characteristic of the soldiers of this city! The man standing at the front, though wearing a red cloak like the other soldiers, was narrower and extended to the front, circling around his neck. Several spikes protruded from the shoulder armor of the right arm. In his hand, he held a long knife with a strange shape, the blade was small, but the tip of the knife was prominent, and the blade shone with a cold light. The back of the knife is slightly curved. Behind the soldiers, there were barbarian druids and a group of magicians in various robes, all ready, looking at the man in front of them.
"General, what should I do?"
The soldier on the side whispered to the man with the knife. That's right, that's the youngest general in the entire Imperial City, the lord of the Iron Fist Fortress - Elric! And under the city, a big man was shirtless, covering half of his face with a black cloth. With a large knife in his hand, a crowd dressed like him stood behind him.
"This group of robbers is endless! General, let's rush out..."
Ellik raised his hand to stop the soldier behind him, then patted his hand on his hair, which had been messed up by the breeze, and said,
"No need, don't disturb the lives of the people in the city, just let me clean up, they don't deserve to pollute your blades."
As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd behind him, all of whom looked at him with conviction. Elric smiled, then slung his knife to his back, gripped a small shield that was placed against the wall with his left hand, and then held a rope in his left hand, and slid down the city in full view.
The leader of the bandits looked at such a small character and pointed his knife at him with disdain.
"Hey, hey, hey! Let your lords open the gates and let us in!" ”
However, as if he hadn't heard, Elric pulled the cloth around his neck to cover his mouth and nose, slowly removed the knife from his back with his right hand, and walked towards the man step by step. The wind and sand were constantly beating at everything here, and the bandits' ears and hair were covered with tiny grains of sand, but as the wind approached Elric, they all fell to the ground as if they were being resisted. Only the wind can blow quietly.
"Hey! Hold it! Didn't you hear? ”
The man looked at Elric, who was getting closer and closer, and was a little scared, but the good-looking heart was unwilling to let him retreat, so he could only watch him approach step by step.
"I'll come back again..."
"Chua! Swish! Suddenly! ”
Before he could finish speaking, a red cloak swept by, and the robber felt a sharp pain come over him. Then, he watched as the red cloak kept moving around him, one moment left, one moment right! And every time the red shadow passed, there was a sharp pain in different parts of the body. Finally, the group of robbers behind them finally saw Elric, who had disappeared for a while, and the leader, lying motionless on the ground, his eyes wide open, his body covered with long knife marks, and blood stained the surrounding sand.
"Hmph."
Elric glanced back at the bandit, then at the crowd in front of him. The robbers panicked, feeling an invisible pressure rushing towards them, and the big knives in their hands shook uneasily. I don't know who shouted loudly
"Don't be afraid! There are a lot of us, rush! ”
The robbers looked at each other, and then screamed and killed. Ellik looked at the crowd rushing across with contempt again, raised his right hand holding the knife in the air, and said in his mouth
"Oh? Really? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sand behind him began to stir uneasily, as if something was about to come out.
"It's coming! This is the lord of the city..."
One of the soldiers in the city said excitedly,
"Sand King—Elric!"
"Huh~!"
With a bang, a large group of soldiers armed with spears and broadswords broke through the sand! In an instant, he stood neatly behind Elric, but these soldiers and weapons were all sand!
"Up!"
As soon as Elric gave an order, the group of sand soldiers suddenly shouted and rushed towards the bandits rushing from the opposite side! Elric also brandished a broadsword and took the lead in charging into the enemy line!
Why did the robbers raid the Iron Fist Fortress? Could it be that the orcs have already arrived here, and the Sand King, Elric, has shown his strength so early, don't you have to pay attention? The people in the Imperial City don't seem to know about the impending catastrophe here······
