Chapter 18: Departure
"It's miserable, I'm going to die young." Arthur had the courage to say that he had the courage to go out of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave just now because of his brotherly feelings, but he was really scared, his back was already soaked with sweat, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
And the ruins and the words he said, he didn't hear at all.
"Okay, that's the end of this meeting, let's all disperse." After the ruins were gone, Long Qi answered.
Although the dragon clan leaders had something to say, Long Qi didn't give them a chance to say it, and he didn't want to hear it, so he directly disbanded the meeting.
Arthur was placed to rest in a side hall of the General's Palace.
In the place where Rue Erosion lived, an old man appeared, and when Rue Eclipse saw him, he immediately paid homage.
This old man is the ruins.
"Well, he agreed." Ruins look up at the sky.
"Hmm." Ruin nodded.
After knowing the answer, the ruins disappeared in an instant, he came here, he wanted to hear this answer, from beginning to end, he didn't look at the ruins, which was also his only remaining pride.
Seeing the ruins leaving, he shook his head with a sigh and got busy with his own work.
As night approached, the mountain was exceptionally quiet, as if it were uninhabited, and if it weren't for the heavy guards, others would think they had come to an abandoned palace.
In the side hall of the General's Palace.
Arthur was accommodated in a chicly decorated room.
He lay on the bed, thinking of today's scene, and now he was nervous, this was the first time he had escaped from the protection of his master and stepped into society on his own, and on this day alone, he felt that he had experienced much more than he had experienced in these twenty years in the Tianshan Mountains.
At the moment, he is still most afraid of reality.
"I thought that as long as I was brave enough and smart enough, I would be able to break through the world, but I never thought that this was only the first day, and I felt tired and scared, and I didn't know how many such roads were waiting for me to walk in the future!"
He tossed and turned, trying to let himself sleep, not to think about these things, but he couldn't sleep at all, and what he had seen and heard in the general's hall came to his mind again.
"Is the Ten Thousand Demon Cave really that terrifying? Why did the dragon clan only send Long Wu alone? There must be a reason for this, alas! If only Long Wu was around, he would definitely know why......"
Arthur looked out the window at the night, but the anxiety in his heart lingered, and in the dim moonlight, he finally fell asleep.
In dreams.
In a majestic castle, Arthur sat on the royal chair in the main hall. There were hundreds of civil and military attachΓ©s under the main hall, and at this time, a man in a general's uniform staggered into the main hall with blood dripping in blood.
He knelt down and said: "King Arthur, the country of Sta has broken through the martial city, and the army of 500,000 has been killed in the main city, and it will be outside the main city in half a day." β
"This ...... How good is that! β
"Surrender, another battle will surely affect the people of the city."
"Our army is only 200,000, how can we stop the enemy's !!"
......
Many civil and military officials of His Royal Highness talked about it, but Arthur was unmoved, just waiting for someone to stand up and share his worries.
Not much.
A middle-aged man with a long beard and bright eyes snorted coldly, and stood up and said: "King Arthur, the main city of my Sper Kingdom is more than twenty meters high, and it cannot be broken no matter how the enemy army attacks, and the food in the city is enough to eat for three years, so it must not be surrendered." β
His voice was loud and instantly suppressed all those who chewed the root of their tongues.
Arthur nodded and said, "Well, the general's words are very much in line with me, this king has appointed you as the main general, and you will obey orders at any time." β
"Yes."
Arthur gave a token to the general.
The general took it, returned to his place, and remained silent.
"Lance, how do you want to retreat?" Arthur stared at a gentle-looking man in His Highness.
Lance stood up, clasped his fists and said: "King Arthur, we let the country of Sta attack, only defend but not attack, after a month, the enemy army will retreat, and then our army will go out of the city to pursue, and we will take the head of the enemy leader." β
"Okay, just according to the military division, we will talk about the details after we retreat." Arthur said in high spirits.
"General Solo, listen to orders."
"Yes."
"You immediately send 100,000 soldiers on the city wall to prepare equipment to retreat from the enemy, and prepare another 10,000 crossbowmen, ready to defend against the enemy at any time."
"Yes."
"General Kerr, listen to orders."
"Yes."
"You control all the food in the city, and be prepared for the unexpected."
"Yes."
......
Early in the morning of the second day.
The sunlight poured down on the entire ruin mountain like a pillar of light, and on the training ground, a large number of dragonmen gathered here, humming haha, and the colorful skills flickered like fireworks.
Everything outside had nothing to do with Arthur, who was still immersed in his dreams.
"Kill ......"
Arthur screamed, causing the patrol outside the door to think that an Assassin had arrived, and kicked the door open, shattering two wooden doors. When I walked into the room, I found Arthur sitting on the bed, his whole body soaked with sweat, and his mouth was still talking about fighting.
"It's ......" Seeing this, the patrols knew that Arthur was dreaming, but they did not dare to wake him up.
The door was broken, and the sun shone on Arthur, and it was not long before he was awakened from a dream.
"Dreams! It's a dream again!! β
He wiped the sweat from his cheeks, took a big breath, and when his mood stabilized, he saw several patrols in the room looking at him in amazement.
And there were broken doors on the ground, and I knew that I must have been talking in my dreams again, but I didn't know what I said, which provoked these patrols to break in.
Embarrassed laugh: "I'm sorry, I'm dreaming, dreaming." β
At this moment, a young dragon man hurried outside the door, glanced at the broken door, and thought that the patrol was arguing with Arthur.
"What do you want to do?" The young dragonman scolded.
"No, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." The patrol captain apologized.
"Don't get out of here yet."
"Yes, yes, yes."
After the patrol was over, Arthur and the young dragonman explained the reason, and while the two laughed, the young dragonman led the way and gathered with the dragons.
The meeting place was in the Xushan martial arts arena, at this time there were thousands of dragons gathered here, Arthur's arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Long Wu."
Long Wu stood beside Long Qi, his face drooping, looking lifeless, and when he heard Arthur's voice, he was a little refreshed.
Wait for Arthur to get closer.
"Big stupid, do you really want to go to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave with me?"
Last night, Long Ying made the scene in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave clear and Long Wu's story, and also told the reason why he and Arthur were only allowed to enter the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
"Yes, how can I let you enter such a dangerous place, brother." Arthur is a brother.
"True brothers." Long Wu hugged Arthur to show his emotion.
Long Qi and Arthur made eye contact as a sign of respect.
"Everyone is quiet.
The gods have arrived, and I will reiterate your mission.
Our purpose this time is to obtain the permanent possession of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, and whether or not we can win smoothly depends on the Heavenly God and my son Longwu.
Your job is to be stationed at the entrance of the cave and ready to be called upon in case of contingency.
Got it? Long Qi said majestically.
"Understood." All the soldiers replied in unison.
"Excuse me, Celestial, do you have anything to say?" Long Qi asked.
"Nope."
Arthur looked at the scene in front of him, thinking of the dream he had last night, at this moment he really had a feeling that he had become a king, although he had something to say, but he knew that these people were not his subordinates, even if there were a thousand words, he could not say them.
"In that case, let's go at once."
"Let's go."
Long Qiyi responded.
At the beckoning moment, a hundred-zhang giant dragon leaned out of the clouds and landed on the ruin mountain with a bang, motionless.
