Chapter 222: The Vanishing King

Children who often stay at home can tell their parents who open the door when they come home, and familiar people can hear each other's footsteps. In fact, this is the subconscious's record of daily life, and the passage of time is like practice makes perfect. However, not all sounds have to be listened to over and over again to remember, and some particularly nice or unpleasant ones will always make a deep impression in an instant.

Tunnel worms are a prime example.

The Tunnel Worms that live in the Underworld are giant creatures with a terrible appearance that are known as "Bronze Scraps". In appearance, the tunnel worm meets the definition of disgusting for most people, and the fleshy body of the worm is divided into countless parts by slender ridges, which looks like a cow's intestines, and the toxic mucus secreted above the epidermis makes people sick to their stomachs. Consistent with its appearance, it screamed, sharp and piercing, with a deep and eerie tone that was peculiar to Nigon, and it was hard for anyone who had seen it to forget it, let alone come into contact with it.

Of course, since it is mentioned here, it is natural that someone has been shot.

During the war between Black and White, Nigon announced his membership in the Dark Alliance, and Green was "lucky" to encounter the army of the Tunnel Worms on the battlefield. It's a nightmare for NPCs and players alike, and although everyone knows that death in virtual games comes with a loss, and most people think that resurrection is not a big deal anyway. But no one would be in a good mood when the gigantic creature wriggled its disgusting body to break through the surface, and then spun round and round on the tiny teeth of the soft flesh and swooped down on you.

Green remembered that he was forced to die if he could, and if he could, he didn't want to be swallowed to death over and over again.

The sudden change interrupted the battle in front of the arena, and Lu Mingyang, the leader of the Youth Group of the Great Mercenary Group, was also a little surprised. But at the moment of life and death, he was more concerned about taking advantage of the opportunity, and with a wave of the blade in his hand, he forced Grimm and Samael away, and at the same time quickly retreated, pulling the deputy head of the regiment not far away. The other members of the regiment also seemed to have received orders quickly, and they gave up fighting to the death with their opponents, but they did not chase the regiment commander, but scattered and fled in all directions. The escape of these mercenaries. Draw the attention of the others, but soon the sword officer's order is heard - the priority is to rescue His Majesty, and the remnants of the defeated army will not be ignored.

The guild's teams immediately got to work, mercenaries dismantling piles of rubble, and mages casting spells to secure structures and destroy large barriers. Seeing that this side was in order, Green, who was standing with his sword in his hand, looked up at the arena, but he couldn't be happy.

"Your Excellency?" Samael approached with two guns. He had already taken the time to ask about the reason for Green's disappearance, and in turn he had told him about his stay in the teacher's room after he recovered, and the atmosphere was obviously very harmonious. Why did this young lord suddenly lose his eyebrows?

"Something terrible seems to have happened inside." Green frowned, he couldn't be mistaken, but why did a pit worm suddenly appear in the arena? Wild tunnel worms don't run around, so ......

Green was horrified.

Don't look at the tunnel worm is as soft as a large sausage, this creature that specializes in digging and devouring the earth is one of the creations of the ancient dark archmage, although it failed to gain intelligence, but it retains a terrifying bullet force, plus the mouthparts are densely packed with sharp teeth. No matter how solid the ground is, it can easily break through a tunnel. Then rely on the corrosive mucus around the body to broaden the pathway to let yourself pass guò, shuttling back and forth like a fish in water. However, this creature is abundant in Nigon, but due to its low intelligence and difficulty in taming, the controllable tunnel worm has become a rare combat force, and if there is a tunnel worm that does appear, it also invades the magically protected underground of Milt City. Then there is only one explanation.

Nigon went to war.

"Oops!" Green let out a low sigh, turned his head and saw the old knight walking in the company of everyone, and although he was covered in injuries, he still showed a relieved smile when he saw himself, and came over and said, "I didn't see the wrong person. Your Excellency is indeed an ally worthy of trust. ”

The guild leaders next to him were a little confused, so no one knew why this young man was appreciated by the sword guard, and the gaze cast on him was suddenly a little intriguing.

"Just do your best." Green didn't want to push back, and went straight to the point, "Lord Jazz, can you speed up the process of clearing the pathway?" ”

The old sword guard officer turned his gaze to a mage beside him, who shook his head with his staff, and his tone was calm, "The location of the collapse of the arena is a bit strange, most of it is not a pure earthquake collapse, if you want to remove the rubble and prevent the building above from completely collapsing, at present, my team is all helping to solidify the building structure, and if you speed up, I am afraid that the entire arena is in danger of being destroyed." ”

The current structure is unstable, and rash action can trigger a domino effect, Greene understands.

It was clear that there was no help in the possible crisis, and the young man of King Lunga had an ugly face, and the old knight immediately noticed it.

"Did you find anything?"

Green nodded, subconsciously looking back at the arena, the tall walls blocked all vision, "You must have heard the sound just now, if I'm not mistaken, it's the cry of a worm in the tunnel." ”

"Tunnel worms?" The old knight was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted, "You mean Nigon's sneak attack class?" ”

Those present were in an uproar.

"That's right, I'm afraid that the Nigons are also involved in this crisis, if it's really the tunnel worms, maybe when we were stopped from fighting those mercenaries, they had already broken into the interior and carried out acts against His Majesty the King." Green explained helplessly. In addition to being able to travel quickly underground to create pathways, tunnel worms can also be used as a means of transportation. Nigon has a unique crate container that the soldier can hide in, and after the trained pit worm is swallowed, he can wait until it breaks through the ground and spit out the container, so that the soldier can kill the enemy by surprise.

Historically, Nigon has used such tactics many times, and the probability of success is also amazing, but at this moment, this is all nonsense, no matter how clear Green is about the information of the tunnel worms, they can't enter the arena at all, if the situation is true, they can only watch the king in distress.

"Oops. If that's really the case......"

"Impossible."

Before Sir Lowwater could finish speaking, there was a mellow Miertic accent behind him, and the two looked at each other, and the speaker was a noble man with a maroon wavy curl, and his shoehorn-like face looked like it was about to rise to the sky. Green glanced at his clothes, he was supposed to be a member of the Magic Guild.

"Sir Bartolomeo. Please explain it carefully. The sword guard obviously didn't have a good impression of this man, and looked at him with a calm face.

Bartolomeo snorted, tilted his head and looked down, and said sharply, "Isn't this a very simple thing? Mielt has the protective magic left by the 'king', and if someone breaks through it casually, wouldn't he have to laugh off his big teeth? You are underestimating the power of the mage, hillbillies over there, don't pretend to know everything, be alarmist, and run to charge the big man when you hear something. Is the library where you are a mage an ornament? Or do you think the defense of the royal capital is not worth mentioning? The contempt is on full display.

"Do you have any good advice, Sir Bartolomeo?"

Seeing the sword guard's anger rise, Green hurriedly rushed ahead to speak. Samael, who was carrying two guns, wondered how the lord had changed his mind and was so polite to this arrogant noble mage, he saw Green turn his back and shake it gently.

"Hmph, I don't know, you hillbilly just stay here honestly. Let's take a good look at how our mage gracefully clears the obstacles and rescues His Majesty the Honored King! Bartolomeo covered his mouth and laughed. It seems that he has fantasized that he has been rewarded by the king for his meritorious service in saving the driver.

"This idiot......" The old sword guard's forehead jumped, and if it weren't for Green pulling him, he would have the heart to slash Bartolomeo's sword. The other guild leaders also turned their heads away, ashamed of having such a companion. Before coming, they had already heard briefly from the old knight's mouth, and the young man who had rushed to the Royal Anglican Knights' residence had taken the West Gate and returned safely. Obviously, the crisis of the renegade knights has been solved, and he can defeat dozens of Anglican knights, what kind of combat power should such a person be? Looking at the attitude of the old knight again, it is obvious that he loves talents, and asks the sword guards who have served two generations of kings who he values. Who is not in a high position and trusted by His Majesty? It is conceivable that no matter what the final outcome of this incident is, it is almost a sure thing that this young man will become an upstart in the kingdom, and now he doesn't go to the other party, but he still runs out self-righteously to despise the other party?

Pigs are better than him!

Green whispered persuasion, and the old knight finally suppressed his anger, but the dissatisfaction of the sword guard was Bartolomeo's attitude, and in fact, he did not believe 100% of Green's words. The group waited here for five or six minutes, and the guild team of the assault operation finally cleared an entrance. The old knight greeted Green, and led the team inside, and Bartolomeo squeezed in front and glanced at Green contemptuously, apparently to let His Majesty see himself at first sight. The forced behavior was ashamed, and directly gave him up to the front position.

The group quickly passed through the dim passage fixed by the metal fixation, and under the leadership of the anxious sword guard, they almost ran to the interior of the arena.

The results surprised everyone.

The earthquake in Dongcheng District collapsed the entrance and exit of the arena, and it was supposed to preserve the integrity of the arena, but what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a ruined place, and the auditorium was also destroyed as if it had been swept by a violent wind, and the corpses of the dead could be seen scattered around. In the middle of the arena, the position that originally belonged to the competition platform was replaced by a black hole with a diameter of more than ten meters, like an abyss with no bottom in sight.

Bartolomeo, who was excited, was stupid.

Green walked up from behind, "inadvertently" passed by him, the power of the enlightened man can be imagined, the noble mage was directly taken to a stumbling side, before he could stand, Samael chased after him with two guns, the barrel of the gun "unintentionally" swept his legs, Bartolomeo sat on the ground with a weak calf, and the guild leader also stepped forward, "coincidentally" bumped into or kicked him, and soon pushed him to the back of the line.

The grizzled noble mage was immersed in a huge blow.

"Sure enough, you're still the lord I know." Samael stood beside Grimm and smiled. The latter pouted, it was not the first time he had dealt with this mage who discriminated against commoners and foreign nobles, this guy was a cheap man, and the conclusive facts were fatal to this noble mage than to take advantage of his tongue.

However, he didn't bother to fall into the well and beat the water dog, and the matter in front of him was obviously more urgent.

"Search the entire venue at once, find His Majesty the King, and don't miss any corner!"

The old sword guard's face sank like water, and after gritting his teeth and giving the order, he walked to the bottomless crack, but was forced back by the unpleasant smell. Green walked over with an iron sword from the mercenary union, squatted on the edge of the pit and inserted the sword into the side wall, and then pulled it out, leaving only the dark half, which was very corrosive.

"The appearance of worms in the pit is unmistakable."

Lowalt nodded, he regretted that he had not firmly believed in Grimm, and if he had forced his way in by some special means, he might have been able to stop the sudden attack of the Nigons.

"Report to the commander, His Majesty the King has not been found, only a few survivors have been found, and they have been sent for treatment." A soldier commander ran back to report that the old sir had clenched his sword at his waist and was speechless for a long time. Seeing this, Green had no choice but to ask:

"Did someone say something?"

The soldier replied without hesitation, not caring about Green's identity at all, "There is a guard who said that they were raided, and the enemy was an underground man from Nigon, who used guò to suppress the giant worm from entering the arena, and kidnapped the king's majesty Xià Several nobles, and the king's guard, the White Bird Sword Master, chased him into the cave and disappeared. ”

White Bird Sword Saint Garnaves? He's in Rodland?

Green was stunned for a moment, this was information he hadn't heard of in his previous life.

"If it were him, it wouldn't be too bad." Hearing the soldier's return, the old knight breathed a sigh of relief, he obviously knew about the sword master's cunning, and he was relieved to hear that he had rushed to rescue the king. Green knew the ability of the White Bird Sword Master, even if he was just alone and penetrated into the Nigon Territory, it would not be too dangerous.

The old knight calmed down, regained his composure and ability, and gave orders in an orderly manner.

"To the West Gate?" Watching the old knight assign work, Samael quietly asked Green.

"The kings have all been arrested, and there is no point in staying here, even if we have to form a search and rescue team, it will not happen overnight, not to mention that we still have a crisis to deal with." Green sighed, this turmoil is not over, the king did not save only one of them, and there are still thousands of troops besieging Xicheng.

"I don't care anyway, it's easy to return to the team, but I'm going to follow the lord with all my heart." Samael responded with a smile, and Green looked at him in surprise, obviously not expecting him to recover from the blow of the martial arts competition so quickly, but forgetting that in fact, more than half a month had passed.

"Look at your belligerent appearance, there will be you fighting in the future."

Lord Jinlunga teased, and the latter grinned, completely expectant.

"I'm sorry I didn't listen to you, Green." The old sir's orders were finally all given before he had time to come over and apologize to Grimm.

"It's nothing, we're not familiar with it after all, and it's normal to have reservations." The boy shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

The sword guard officer looked at him steadily, and the old man spoke slowly with anticipation in his eyes.

"As an independent lord, you have helped us recapture the city guard post, quell the rebellion of the Anglican knights, and recapture the west city gate, which is a great favor to Mierte, and I cannot repay it in my personal capacity. Supposedly, you've done enough, and I know it's unconscionable, but I can't help but want to ask—"

"You...... Can you stay and help us defend the royal city? ”

Sounds a bit greedy.

Green thought to himself, a sunny smile on his face.

"Okay." (To be continued......)
