Chapter 169: Surrender or Die
The griffon's massive wings usually bring a violent current, especially when it lands, its sharp claws tearing through the canopy of trees that stand in its way, and its strong wings crush a few small twigs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Slowly but powerfully flapping its wings, the griffin slowly landed on the decaying land of the twilight forest, the gap in the canopy torn by the griffin, not a single shred of sunlight, and the forest was still dark and rancid.
The endless undead stood tightly, if it weren't for the ghostly fire in their eyes, Xiao Yi would definitely think that these undead were just a sculpture, of course, if it weren't for the following Vann, he would have fled immediately after making sure that these undead were alive at the same time!
The marionette-like spirits slowly dispersed, making way for a path that stretched deep into the forest, and a terrifying knight and Zuld rode slowly toward them.
"Your Lord!" Zurd jumped down first and saluted Xiao Yi, while the Terror Knight sat on his horse and gave a knightly salute.
"I think you should call my majesty, Holy Falcon Kingdom!" Xiao Yi smiled and patted Zuerde's shoulder and corrected his name. Although the City of Angels has not yet held an enthronement ceremony, the news has already spread.
"Your Majesty." Zulde grinned, scratching the back of his head and laughing.
"Take me to the mayor of Twilight Town, Red Ridge Mountain is under attack by orcs, we must pass through here today!" Xiao Yi put away his smile and said to Zulde and the terrifying knight who had not spoken.
"Yes!" Zulde turned over his velociraptor and said to Xiao Yi, "Please follow me, my lord." ”
---------------------------
"Your Excellency the Duke, are you really going to meet that Falken? I've never heard of such a person! "In the mayor's house in Night Town, and one of the most luxurious wooden houses, a group of people are discussing here.
At the top of the seat was a middle-aged man, richly dressed, who looked like a nobleman, and what the old priest Webesdale had said to him.
Duke Elo Eberlock turned the magic ring on his ring finger and listened carefully to Webesdale's advice, although Nighttown was his family's fiefdom, the Eberlocks were a strange family, and they liked to practice democracy.
The Eberlocks believed that the elders and some knowledgeable merchant aristocrats would give them a lot of meaningful advice, so the family invited the poorest beggars and the richest merchants to become members of the democratic assembly once they reached the age of the elders, and it was in this way that the Eberlocks prospered to this day.
"I must go, Uncle Webersdale!" After listening to the old priest's advice, Duke Eberlock said slowly: "After accepting the refugees from Raven Ridge and Elwyn Forest, the number of people in Night Town has surged to more than three thousand five hundred, but our professional soldiers are only more than three hundred, and it is impossible for us to resist those undead!" ”
"But......" The Weber-era priest tried to convince him, but was interrupted by the duke.
"Okay, since the other party is under the banner of humanity, then I think there is still a possibility of negotiation, although I don't know why he was able to drive those undead, but it is clear that he may be a mage." The Duke turned his magic ring, and his alternate identity was a low-level mage.
"Father, if he can really manipulate the undead, then you shouldn't even go to see him, his cruelty just look at the current Raven Ridge!" A girl with long black shawl hair, dressed in the leather armor of the Night's Watch, and with a long knife hanging from her waist, walked out, looking no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.
Duke Eberlock looked at the girl who called him father with loving eyes, shook his head gently, and said: "My daughter, this is no longer a question of whether to go or not, the enemy is very strong, and our rudimentary walls are simply not enough to resist them, if I go, I may be able to understand what he needs." ”
Speaking of this, he paused: "Or is it a conspiracy......"
Her father's deep voice made Althea Eberlock want to cry, but she tried to hold back her tears, and she stubbornly said, "Then I'll go with you!" ”
"Nope! Dear Althea. The Duke firmly refused his daughter's request: "You are my only heir, and the commander of the Night's Watch unit, Nighttown needs you, if I can't come back......" The Duke's voice grew lower and lower, and finally gradually turned into a sigh.
Althea felt her nose sour, and her tears slipped uncontrollably like a flood that burst the embankment. Although the whole hall was full of people, and the burning torches also illuminated the hall, everyone's hearts were as heavy as pressing a boulder.
"Lord Duke, the messenger is here." Just then, a Night's Watch soldier entered, his voice as dark and hoarse as the forest, but with a sense of determination.
"Invite them in." Duke Eberlock was silent for a moment.
"Yes!" The Night's Watch replied briefly but firmly.
Soon, he brought in several people, led by a young man in ornate armor without a helmet, followed by a troll, a middle-aged man with a strange pale complexion, and a samurai wearing red and white heavy armor and a horned helmet.
"King of the Holy Falcon Kingdom, Xiao Yi Falken." The man at the head came to the center of the hall, and after looking around, he saw Duke Eberlock sitting in the first place, and bowed slightly to introduce himself.
"Xiao Yi Falken!" The duke's pupils contracted, and just now they were still thinking about whether to go to meet the leader of the enemy, they actually swaggered in front of him like this!
Duke Eberlock and his courtiers looked at Xiao Yi and the others, Xiao Yi also observed them again, and the first thing he thought of was a group of old and weak!
Yes, there are more than twenty old men sitting or standing in this manor-like hall, and in addition to that, there are only the mayor of the town who sits in the prime of life, and a girl dressed as a teenage warrior.
"Hmph, you actually have the guts to come here, aren't you afraid that we will kill you?" Just as Xiao Yi was observing everyone, an old man in a linen robe stood up and scolded him tremblingly.
"Bold!" Before the old man's words fell, Goodek, who was dressed in heavy armor, stepped forward and shouted: "Standing in front of you is the king of the Holy Falcon Kingdom, speak respectfully......"
Xiao Yi waved his hand and stopped Goodek, looking at the old man, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, but he didn't answer the old man's words, but looked up at the man sitting on the main seat, and said slowly: "Make your choice, surrender or die!" ”
