Volume 4 The Burning Prairie Chapter 112 Deceived
"The names of the two elemental lords are like thunder, I have naturally heard of them!" Blade said curiously, not knowing why the front teeth involved these two elemental lords who shook the continent. If only the Flame King is involved, the Blade can still understand, after all, these goblins are hijacking the favorite concubine of the Elemental Lord, who is known for his short temper, but why would the front teeth involve the Hurricane King?
Could it be that the one who wanted to deal with the Flame Monarch turned out to be the Hurricane King? Such a thought suddenly flashed through Blade's heart.
Just when the more Blade thought about it, the more he thought about it, the front teeth shouted with a sad face: "Then since you know, you still dare to offend the two elemental kings? What are you from? It's over, it's over, this woman has escaped, the Hurricane King will definitely not let me go, and he will definitely send someone to destroy our Black Gold Tribe!"
"What do you mean by offending the two elemental lords?" the incisors screamed, making Blade feel that things seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined.
"This woman is a traitor to the Flame King's pursuit, and after she fled from the Western Flame King to the North, the Hurricane King of the North, commissioned by the Flame King, sent Tirio Windranger, one of the three Knights of the Gale under his command, to capture her. His Excellency Tirio Windranger has left in a hurry, so he has handed this woman over to our Black Gold Tribe, and we have taken her to the Sky Fortress, where the Hurricane King is located!"
The northern grasslands were vast enough that even during the period when the Beamon Empire had the strongest dominance over the northern grasslands, the Beamon Empire was not able to completely dominate the entire grassland. Among them, the castle that stands in the majestic mountains of the Tanggula Mountains in the north of the steppe, the Sky Fortress, is a place where the forces of the Beamon Empire have never set foot in. It's the land of elemental creatures. And the king of this country is known as the ruler of the sky and the wind - Olaquir.
Blade didn't know if what the front tooth said was true or not, but he knew that there were indeed many forces in the northern prairie working for the Hurricane King, and there was no shortage of goblin tribes among them. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the prisoner cart.
The Flame Dancer had already opened the forbidden shackles at this time, and without the restraints of the forbidden shackles, her peaceful flame body suddenly became violent. With a 'boom', a pillar of fire rose from her position, engulfing the cart, the donkey and the goblin guard next to it.
Amid the screams of the donkeys and the howls of the goblin guards, the level of magic unleashed by the flame dancers in the pillar of fire began to rise. Blade's brow furrowed slightly, and his heart was silently calculating the magic level that the Flame Dancer had climbed step by step. When her magic level exceeded level five, but there was no sign of stopping, Blade's face began to fall. Eventually, when the flame dancer's magic froze at level nine, the blade's face was so gloomy that it was dripping water.
The true strength of the Flame Dancer turned out to be a ninth-level Great Magister, not at all the fifth-level level she said. Since the Flame Dancer deceived him at the beginning, it is very likely that the words that the front teeth just said are true.......
Blade was annoyed for a while, and he helped the Flame Dancer escape, originally wanting to have a relationship with the Flame King, not wanting to have a thigh that didn't make it, but instead offended the two Elemental Lords.
The pillar of fire that soared into the sky suddenly disappeared like a whale absorbing water, and the flame dancer's flaming body reappeared in the eyes of the blade and the goblin warriors. At this moment, the fine iron cage that imprisoned her had turned into a pool of red molten iron. As for the cart donkey and the goblin guard who were engulfed in the pillar of fire with her, they had long since been reduced to ashes in the raging flames, and there were no bones left.
The Flame Dancer's whole body fluctuated with terrifying fire elemental magic, and where she stood, there was not a single grass under her feet, only a ground of ashes.
The Flame Dancer lifted her steps forward slightly. As she landed, the goblin warriors around her all took a big step back in horror. Only the blade, did not retreat, of course, the front teeth that were grasped by him did not retreat, but in the eyes of the front teeth, they were also full of fear.
Blade knew that he had fallen for the Flame Dancer and that it was pointless to hold back his front teeth, so he let go of his hand and let go of his front teeth. After the front teeth were freed, she yelled at the goblin warriors, "This witch has regained her freedom, no one is her opponent, everyone run!" The leader of the goblin warriors ran away, and they also fled in all directions.
Blade frowned, and instead of paying attention to the goblin warriors who had fled, he stared at the Flame Dancer with a wary expression.
The Flame Dancer ignored the guarded gaze of the blades, and she glanced at the wolf-rushing goblins, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and she did not hide her contempt. Immediately, she stretched out her hands, her ten fingers bloomed like orchids, and she pinched several hands in a row, and fist-sized fireballs appeared one after another around her, encircling her.
Seeing this, the blade snorted coldly and propped up a vindictive shield.
The blade's movements finally caught the attention of the Flame Dancer, who glanced at the blade and said with a hint of teasing, "What? You saved me, are you still afraid that I will be bad for you? I am not an ungrateful person!" After speaking, the Flame Dancer grasped her ten fingers lightly, and with a flick of it, dozens of fireballs around her chased after the fleeing goblin warriors as if they had eyes.
With a terrible shout, a humanoid torch was lit one after another in the dark night. The goblin warriors were killed by the Flame Dancer's magical attack, and only a few of the most skilled goblin warriors escaped with their lives by dodging the fireballs from behind, including the Goblin Warrior Leader Incistor.
The Flame Dancer killed most of the goblin warriors with a single blow, and the resentment in her heart that was frustrated by being escorted all the way by the goblin warriors suddenly vented a lot. She didn't pay attention to the few escaped fish, but put her mind on the werewolf who was watching beside her.
"Werewolf boy, what do you want to do, I see you seem to be uneasy and kind!" said the Flame Dancer with a sudden smile.
At the moment when the Flame Dancer unleashed her fireball spell on the goblin warriors, Blade had the idea of sneaking up. Dealing with a mage who was as high as level nine, but close at hand, as a seventh-level warrior, he was not hopeless, but in the end, the blade still suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
Blade said coldly: "I saved you because of your deception, and as a result, I offended the two elemental lords because of this, this is not a fun thing!"
"That's why you want to make a move, capture me again, and make up for it?"
"Not bad!"
"Then why did you back down in the end?"
"Because I'm not sure enough!"
"Hehe, count yourself smart! Although I am a magician and you are a warrior, there is a two-level gap between you and me after all, even if I can't get away from the battle, but if you want to sneak attack, the chance is not great! In addition, I feel a faint fluctuation of natural healing magic in you, if I guess correctly, you have been injured before, and have been treated by healing magic, but the injury has not been completely healed. Since you have injuries on your body, the chances of your success in sneaking up on me have been further reduced!"
Blade was noncommittal, acquiescing to the Flame Dancer's statement.
"Alright, it's time for me to go. I thought I would be in a catastrophe this time, but I didn't expect to meet you on the road! Werewolf boy, thank you!" the flame dancer seemed to be in a very good mood, and when she was leaving, she didn't forget to throw a flying kiss at the blade.
The blade snorted heavily, in response to the Flame Dancer. Unimpressed by the blade's unfriendly attitude, the Flame Dancer let out a coquettish grin, turned around, twisted her waist and swayed away.
Blade stared coldly at the flaming red figure of the Flame Dancer as she faded away, and it wasn't until she completely disappeared into the night that her tense nerves were suddenly relaxed. The coercion formed by the fluctuation of the magic power around the flame dancer brought a lot of pressure to the blade, and although the blade looked calm on the surface, it was secretly desperately urging the fighting spirit to resist. Fortunately, the Flame Dancer didn't intend to embarrass the blade, and didn't deliberately target him with coercion. Otherwise, the coercion released by the ninth-level magic power of the Flame Dancer was enough to crush the resistance of the seventh-level fighting qi of the blade.
For the deception of the Flame Dancer, the more Blade thought about it, the more angry he became. He couldn't help but raise his head, ready to roar to the moon to vent the sullenness in his heart. But he didn't make a whistling sound in the end, but slowly lowered his head, and a helpless wry smile appeared on his face.
I was in a hurry to rush to Boulder Castle, but I stopped halfway to get involved in this bad thing, which was really boring!
Blade laughed at himself for a while, and then he stopped and ran again. He also has to go to Boulder Castle, where his comrades are waiting for him!
......
The Northern Prairie stretched far in the northern part of the empire, and its vast territory made it more difficult for the empire to control it. Before the 'Northern Bandits', the empire maintained a garrison of 100,000 troops here all year round, scattered among nine large military forts and dozens of small military forts on the grassland. These nine large military forts are connected from end to end, arranged in the shape of horns, which are the main strongholds of the empire to suppress the various tribes of the steppe, and are also an important line of defense against the invasion of the Beihai sea tribes. They are Boulder Fort, Warsong Fort, Moon Bay Fort, Thorn Fort, Ironwood Fort, Glory Fort, Wind Crack Fort, Coniferous Fort, and Riptide Fort. After hundreds of years of development, these nine forts, which were originally only used for the Imperial Army, gradually developed into bustling towns. Due to their location on the frontier and their important military position, they were also known as the 'Nine Border Towns' in the Empire.
After three days of trekking, the blade was already able to look at the Boulder Castle in the distance.
At this moment, the sharp blade stopped on a high hillside, and looked into the distance, only to see a huge mountain rock standing in the distance of the grassland under the vast sky dome. This rock is about four kilometers long, two kilometers wide and eight hundred meters high, and it stands out from the flat grassland. Legend has it that a long time ago, there was no such huge mountain rock on this grassland, and its appearance was 10,000 years ago in the era of the war between gods and demons. Legend has it that at that time, there was a great battle between a god and a demon god in the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, and the god moved this mountain rock from the Tanggula Mountains with great divine power to suppress the demon god here. When the legend first spread on the mainland, it attracted countless adventurers and archaeologists to the grassland to explore the ruins of the demon god, but in the end, no one found any valuable clues. People have to think that this is just a legend, and as the years go by, this legend has gradually disappeared into the dust of history, and it is rarely mentioned anymore.
There had only been a heavy rain on this grassland last night, and the air on the grassland was still very humid after the rain, and the top of the mountain rock was a faint cloud and lanlan, and the sharp blade could faintly see the outlines of the walls, fortresses and dwellings built with huge stones on it. A wide avenue winds from bottom to top along the rocky rock mass to the city at the top of the rock.
This is the Boulder Fort, one of the nine major military towns of the Beamon Empire in the northern grasslands.
In the early days of the mercenary rebellion in northern Xinjiang, due to the surprise of the Beamon Empire, a large number of military forts distributed throughout the grassland were captured by mercenaries one after another, and even the Torrent Fort, Glory Fort, Coniferous Fort and Ironwood Fort in the 'Nine Border Towns' were not spared. Boulder Fort was also besieged by several mercenary groups, but with its steep terrain and strong city defenses, Boulder Fort finally withstood the mercenary attack. After the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment went north to the grassland and divided part of its forces to defeat the mercenaries under the Boulder Fort, the Boulder Fort became the regimental headquarters of the strongest cavalry regiment in the empire.
The blade leapt down the hill and ran towards the Boulder Fort. However, before the blade could reach Boulder, a team of wolf cavalry patrolling the perimeter of Boulder found him. After Blade informed him of his identity, the patrolling wolf cavalry immediately let him go, and Blade made his way through the winding mountain road and into the Boulder Castle.
