Chapter One Thousand and Forty-One: Harmondale One

As the first town established by the Erathian Expeditionary Force in Verning, Hammondale has a high status in this area.

Due to the mutual scruples and checks and balances between the forces, no one was able to completely expel a certain force from Vilning, and under the continuous development, Hammondale became the most important town in the Erathia region in Vilnine, driving the economic development of the surrounding towns.

Hammondale has a completely different atmosphere from Erathia, without the high taxes in Erathia's territory, and the residents do not have to worry about being forced to be conscripted by the lord at any time, just to satisfy their own selfish desires, but can gradually become rich by their own labor, and even ordinary slaves can be treated equally.

Even among Erathia, there are many people who are eager to come here, and some even plan to quietly flee from their original territory, but this act is undoubtedly a serious crime in the eyes of their original lord.

No one would have imagined that this town, which was originally established by the expeditionary force and was not managed by nobles, would develop to this point.

Inside Hammondal, there is also a peaceful atmosphere, and the residents of the city can often see elves haunting, which is undoubtedly an extremely difficult thing, and other territories can not do this.

However, at this moment, the tranquility of this area is about to be broken.

In the sky above Hammondale, the ghost dragon with a pale aura all over its body is looming, making the creatures below extremely unreal, even if it is occasionally noticed by other creatures staring at the sky, but the ghost dragon that disappears in the next moment will only make them think it is an illusion.

With the help of the clouds, there are no creatures in the city that can detect the arrival of the ghost dragon.

On the back of the ghost dragon, Rod's body is independent, staring at everything below, which is also the only creature on the back of the ghost dragon.

In his hand, Rhodes was holding a crown inlaid with various gems and crystals, which he had obtained from Naggs. In the crown, an emerald gemstone is set in it, which is shining at this time.

Rod closed his eyes and transmitted some information through his own special perception, and then the ghost dragon's body began to decline.

At the same time, a feeling of uncontrollability came from the crown in Rhodes' hands, and under the action of an inexplicable force, Rhodes involuntarily lifted the crown.

As the emerald gem shone brightly, the space in front of it cracked outward, and an incomparably huge dark green space-time gate appeared in front of Rhodes, extending to the city of Harmmondale below.

The portal in front of him was far larger than any portal Rhodes had ever seen, and compared to the portal that Rhodes had opened before to let the ghost dragon pass through, it was undoubtedly too small to be smaller.

As soon as such a huge space-time portal appeared, it immediately caused a riot among the creatures in the city, and anyone who saw the huge portal descending from the sky would seem overwhelmed and not understand what it was.

Even the experienced warriors in the city knew that this was the gate of time and space cast by the mage, but the size of this portal still made them feel extremely shocked.

A human who happened to be under the portal was swept into the portal because he didn't dodge in time.

Under the effect of spatial turbulence, his body was rapidly torn apart in the next moment, but not even a trace of blood splashed outward, but was carried by the turbulence to the space of nowhere.

The riots didn't last long, and soon, new changes took place inside the portal.

Because the portal itself is huge, there was a sudden violent fluctuation in the inner space of some depressions, and then an incomparably huge creature walked out of the portal.

It was a skeleton giant that was many times larger than a regular creature, and its size almost filled the entire portal before it could pass through.

As soon as the Skeleton Giant stepped out of the portal, it trampled down a number of buildings, causing a panic among the creatures below, and anyone could see that the Skeleton Giant's horrific appearance and sudden appearance could make it malicious to anyone.

Before the city's defenses arrived, the skeleton giants struck first, sending down a large number of pitch-black clouds below, covering a large area in an instant.

Although the creatures below could sense a deep sense of strangeness from the falling black clouds and tried to evacuate quickly, how fast could they run as fast as the black clouds spread? Eventually, the figure disappeared into the black clouds.

Aware of the arrival of the enemy, the heavily armed knights, before they could make any use of it, the black cloud passed through the gaps between their armor and acted on their bodies.

Even creatures that find shelter or lock themselves in a room will be severely eroded by the pervasive invasion of black clouds, and eventually die.

In the city, a group of priestly members, facing the black clouds falling from the sky, joined forces to release a white barrier in an attempt to resist it.

Above the white barrier, there was a clean and purifying light, just like the effect of the undead killer, but not to attack, but to resist the erosion of death energy.

For a while, the black clouds that fell could not help this white barrier at all.

The barrier covers a wide area, and even some ordinary creatures who are fleeing are included in the protection of the barrier.

The sudden catastrophe left these lucky creatures sheltered by the barrier, and the surviving creatures were overwhelmed, they had no idea what was happening, and they saw that their home was destroyed by the skeleton giants and black clouds.

Due to the sudden arrival of the black clouds, many creatures were not able to get the protection of the barrier, and were left in the black clouds forever, and most of the creatures did not even realize the danger coming, so they were occupied by the darkness.

Even ordinary creatures who were sheltered by the barrier in time and didn't suffer much damage, the only thing they could do was pray in their hearts, that someone would solve all this, that they would survive.

For these ordinary creatures, in the face of black clouds far beyond the limits of their abilities, they could do nothing but pray, and could only look at the monks in the field, hoping that they could find a way to solve the current predicament.

The atmosphere of grief spreads within the barrier, and with it, a lingering sense of despair, and no one knows what it is all about.

The shroud of black clouds made it impossible for these ordinary creatures to see their surroundings clearly, and they didn't know if there were any other enemies other than the skeleton giants.
