(Ask for recommended tickets!! οΌ‰

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The pirate king Habisher, whose ancestors once established a rich kingdom on the island. It was only sacked and destroyed by the Central Empire hundreds of years ago, and later reduced to pirates.

It took nearly a hundred years for them to return to their homeland and establish themselves here as pirates.

The badge on his chest is a shield shining with the dawn of the sun, known as the Sun Family.

In Aaron's point of view, the other person's forehead is very large, which simply does not match the face. The contours of the face disc are also strange because all the teeth are falling out. The eyes shone with wisdom, and they were sharp and detailed.

"Join the god of war as he marches against the evil faction and harasses every port along the eastern coastline. In return, I will crown you in the name of Augustus, the god of war. ”

With a wave of his hand, at least five thousand Garand crossbows, hundreds of polished and moderately sized magic crystals, and thousands of boxes of bullets appeared in front of Habisher's eyes.

The pirate king Habisher was a smart man. If the God of War wanted to kill him, he could directly second him the moment he didn't have time to react.

And in order to thank the god of war, the pirate king Habisher expressed his willingness to sacrifice his three daughters to make them the servants of the god of war. To put it bluntly, it is complete obedience and willingness to hand over hostages.

I have to say that the scheming of this old pirate leader is as heavy as his forehead lines and eye lines.

It's just that for the god of war, Aaron can come directly to this island on any day and take the head of this old guy.

"Whoever swears an oath to the god of war, once he breaks his oath, no one will ever escape punishment."

Aaron left a word. Directly incarnate as a wyvern and fly in the direction of the south. The 10,000 Templars who remained on the island gradually turned into shadows in a burst of starlight.

In the Pirate Kingdom, this day will be marked as an important day for a big event.

On this day, everyone on this island will be whitewashed as pirates and attack the evil camp in the name of the god of war, in the name of the Dawning Kingdom.

But for Aaron, this is just a small episode in the long journey.

Across the ocean. It can save half the time and reach the Southern Kingdom in fifteen days.

Fifteen days later, I finally saw the land.

A round sunset sticks to the ridge line of the desert, and the earth is lined with a dull and dark layer, revealing a layer of crimson, holding the sunset desert waves frozen in the four layers of eyes of a flying dragon.

The boundless desert resembles a yellow sea, on which the sun shines, and ten thousand points of light shine brightly.

In Aaron's eyes, the undulating sand dunes were like waves in the sea. When it first started. The hot air in the desert is as if it were steaming. Under the scorching sun, waves of heat rose in the desert, making it difficult for him to breathe.

After some time, when a strong wind hit in the desert. The grains of sand are flying, the sky is dark, this is simply a world of sand, and there is no place for any living creatures. Aaron had to take to the skies.

Bird's-eye view from above. All the darkness turned into a whirlwind on the desert, one by one. Roll up the yellow sand as high as it is like smoke rising from the flat ground, and it spun and flew over the desert.

The chaotic forces of nature can hardly affect the perspective of a powerful flying dragon.

After a long time, a verdant oasis appeared in Aaron's eyes, like an emerald set on the edge of the desert. It's just that the city built in the oasis is obviously not the territory of humans. Dense crowds of howling soldiers, assembled in the oasis. They enslaved human slaves like animals, building huge structures around the oasis and in the desert.

The Howling Legion has a large number of winged ghost legions, and medium and low altitudes are often off-limits. Therefore, Aaron did not drop his flight altitude, and naturally he could not see exactly what the evil legion was building.

The fiery clouds of the evening stained Aaron's scales red, and as he walked through the clouds, the whole sky was very beautiful, different from the clouds during the day.

If there is a burning cloud in the morning, it means that the day is cloudy, and if there is a burning cloud in the evening, it means that tomorrow will be sunny, which is Aaron's own experience.

Gradually, the 'clouds' that should not have appeared at all in the low altitude turned completely black in Aaron's eyes. The four layers of eyes gradually became indifferent, and there were thousands of pairs of wings.

Two air legions, completely unequal in number, were glued and scuffled together.

The human legion that fights the winged ghosts, maybe Aaron is not unfamiliar. In the battle with the White Forest Legion in the West, he had already seen this kind of air troops.

Paladin the Rusher――――――

The solid armor and 5-meter-long arbitration lance allowed them to sprint back and forth in mid-air without having to land. The Arbitration of the Paladin, a chic name. A mixture of spear and sword. At the top is a simple cross blade, underneath which is 5-10 cm long with an iron guard to prevent the tip of the spear from breaking off or being cut off.

Unicorn, snow-white throughout. It looks like a horse with white horns and white wings.

With a brisk and powerful start on the flat ground, the horse's hooves splashed a little spark on the cobblestone road, and the moment it stepped into the sky, it was like a gust of wind.

The Holy Knights, who are less than a thousand people, are under siege by about 20,000 winged ghosts.

A manned unicorn can fly to a height close to the clouds, while a winged ghost with a weak load capacity cannot carry anything, let alone a knight, in order to reach the flight altitude of a unicorn.

In Aaron's vision, despite the fact that the paladins faced 20 times as many enemies, there was still no confusion or rout. Although there were still many paladins who spun around and fell from the air with the unicorns under their feet in the gaps that sprinted back and forth in the air, it was the winged ghosts who suffered heavy losses like raindrops.

This continued until four jet-black 'clouds' drifted in the distance.

Woowoowoo――――――

In the distance, in the 'black clouds', a certain winged ghost blew the horn of the encirclement. About 50,000 winged ghosts obscured the sky and formed a wrap around the perimeter.

There is no doubt that this was a planned closure of the blockade. Either the paladins have fallen into a trap.

Look down on the battle from above the clouds, if nothing else. A thousand paladins, there will not be a single survivor.

The Southern Kingdom is a unicorn-rich region, and almost all the paladins in the entire continent come from here. Still, a thousand paladins would also be an unbearable loss for the Southern Kingdom.

Having made up his mind, Aaron descended from the top of the clouds, and the color of his scales changed from light yellow to orange-red, merging with the color of the clouds.

By the time a large number of winged ghosts gradually completed the encirclement and swarmed up.

Roar――――――

A dragon roar that shook the sky. The air crackled.

If it is one-on-one, the combat power of a winged ghost is basically impossible to be the opponent of a paladin. Compared with air combat, the combat effectiveness of the winged ghosts, in the eyes of Aaron's transformation into a flying dragon, can basically only be described as scum.

One second the figure of the flying dragon suddenly appeared, and the next second it burrowed into the 'black cloud' of the flying dragon, like a sharp knife inserted into the chest, throwing out a large cloud of blood mist.

Claws, tails, teeth. and every part of the body. By tearing, scratching, and the most basic high-speed impact.

After a few back and forth, Aaron let the pink and trembling flesh of the winged ghost spray like a blue sky with bright red blood. Broken limbs and fragmented corpses make the white dazzling bones shine silently in the sun.

Even a dense crowd of winged ghosts swarmed up. Aaron could also spin and rush up to the clouds, shaking off these low-level creatures with limited flight altitude.

"What's that????"

"The God of War is above, it's a Sky Lord, an abyss worm!"

For the paladins, the sudden appearance of the 'savior' is struggling to fight their way out. In battle and killing. Everyone was a little stunned.

The paladin, who was stunned, saw that more than a dozen knights were eliminated by the winged ghosts in an instant. The head of the Paladins yelled eagerly, "Seize this opportunity. Break out -- for the Southern Kingdom, for humanity, for justice! ”

More than 1,000 paladins fought bloodily, and after losing about 300 horses, plus those who were missing in the breakout, in the end, only 500 paladins followed behind the wyvern and fought their way out of the encirclement. With the winged ghosts' slightly inferior flight speed and fear of the Sky Lord Wyvern, the chase didn't last long.

"Could it be the incarnation of the god of war???" The young paladin lost his helmet in battle, and at this time he rode on the back of the unicorn, looking up at the shadows in the clouds, and muttered a whisper.

"Daydream, Danny. You just prayed to the god of war when an incarnation of the god of war came to the rescue? There is no such coincidence in the world. I see that this Sky Lord just happened to pass by here, and then happened to have no lunch, and watched the winged ghosts flying in the sky feast on it. ”

Speaking of this, the head of the paladin vigilantly glanced up at the huge shadow in the clouds, and whispered a warning to the knights around him, "The Sky Lord is in the clouds above us, don't slack off until his intentions are clear, and be ready to fight at any time!" ”

After about thirty minutes of flying, Aaron looked up at the sky, and the beautiful clouds fluttering in the air would make his mood as light as clouds. But he can't let him continue to recover after a lot of physical exertion.

Now, it is necessary to land to rest. On the other hand, the group of paladins aimed at themselves with vigilant eyes.

"I order you to land now, right now!"

The voice was kind and friendly, but when it was roared out in the huge voice of a wyvern, it completely changed its taste. It sounds more like a warning and a threat.

Suddenly a roar was heard from above the clouds. The paladins trembled for a long time, along with the unicorns beneath their feet.

The Sky Lord possesses intelligence no less than that of humans, which is common sense for paladins. But a flying dragon who spoke, such a terrifying scene was the first time in the world.

"What should I do?" The young paladin Danny, approaching the head of the Paladin, asked in a low voice.

And the face of the head of the Holy Knight did not look good at this time. Trying to get rid of a Sky Lord in the sky is a pipe dream. And if you want to fight, you can't fly at all for the unicorn's ability to fly.

But from another point of view, if this Sky Lord has malicious intentions, there is no need to wait until now.

"The first brigade circled and descended, followed by the second brigade and the third brigade." The head of the Paladins finally gave this desperate order.

Different from the blue and beautiful of the sky.

The whole below is a vast desert, a dead sea of sand. Majestic, quiet. A straight face always gives you a monotonous color: yellow, yellow, always a scorching yellow. It is as if nature has frozen the turbulent waves and the empty angry waves here in an instant, making it stand still forever.

The unicorn's hooves trampled one sand pit after another in the desert, and when five hundred paladins aimed at one of the dunes in the sheath, they circled and landed one after the other from the sky. A huge wyvern, with wings spread, head down and tail up. Like a rapidly falling meteor, the whole 'ferocious' landing process made the paladins tremble to watch.

"Is the Sky Lord trying to commit suicide?"

Every Templar who knows the essentials of flying has the same question in their minds.

However, the outcome is often unexpected, even causing the paladins standing in the desert to drop their jaws and smash through the soles of their feet.

Just as the Sky Lord was about to crash into the sand dunes, the entire huge wyvern's body suddenly twisted, and let out a crackling bone explosion, quickly shrinking, and "banging" in the hard-to-see scene. A sandpit came into view.

And then---

"In the name of Augustus, the god of war!"

A hoarse voice was heard, and a figure coughed and jumped out of the bottom of the bunker.

Standing in the eyes of everyone was a man wearing gold armor and a closed horsehair helmet. A scarlet cloak on his shoulders and a heavy spear in his hand...... Mars!?

………………

……………………

Morte, the head of the Holy Knights, has a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold handsomeness. A gold unicorn badge pinned to his chest. It means that the person has royal blood.

When Aaron asks why he got caught up in the encirclement of the winged ghosts. Morte's face had a gloomy look. "The Southern Kingdom of today no longer exists. After losing most of his territory, his army, and his subjects, the king had given the order. Surrender to the lion leader who is attacking the southern continent. Abandon all dignity, even betrayal of humanity. The king eventually decided to join the evil camp and make all the southern subjects slaves. ”

Hearing this, between the eyebrows of the god of war, a trace of anger appeared. The head of the Holy Knights, Morte, even asked to leave with the god of war and go to the distant northern kingdom to continue the battle.

From the conversation later on, Aaron got a rough idea.

The present king of the south is Morte's uncle and has just been crowned.

In the Southern Kingdom, there is a strict order of the elder and the youngest for the throne. After the other members of the royal family were killed, the newly crowned old king could not wait to give the order to surrender, and expelled his nephew to become a lord in the far desert.

Aaron guessed that the Holy Knights' encirclement of the winged ghosts this time was probably the old king's tipping message.

"All acts of association with the evil camp must be stopped. All orders to surrender are shameful betrayals! Since the Southern Kingdom also worships the god of war, then, in the name of Augustus, the god of war, I will strip the traitor of his crown! For the dawn of humanity! ”

After these righteous words, Aaron reluctantly added a sentence in his heart, "For the ultimate divine seat!" ”

When night fell, a red crescent moon hung high in the sky, indifferently looking at this desolate place, with a bit of coldness and depression, the west wind howled, filling the whole desert with a murderous atmosphere.

Only the lonely sandstone stared coldly at all this, as if it was still expecting the place to become noisy and lively, but what made it despair was always: life died under the gravel, and the gravel was desolate under life.

Further on, a large field of thorns seemed to separate two different worlds.

On one side of the thorns is the desert, and on the other side is the grassland.

Crossing the thorny jungle, the bright moonlight shines on the grassland, the world is quiet, the evening breeze blows gently, and the grass waves rise and fall with the wind, which is extraordinarily comfortable. A breeze blew, and as far as the eye could see, the grass waves rippled away wave by wave,

Subverting the senses, the softness of the grassland and the vastness and vicissitudes of the desert are naturally integrated, and the southern kingdom shows Aaron the wonders of the world.

"How dare you disobey my orders and turn back halfway. I banished you in the name of the king, and you broke into my palace at night. This is a blasphemy against royal power! Guardsman! Guardsman!!! ”

The old king of the south, who had just been crowned, sat on his chair made of pure gold. The weather-beaten face was covered with deep wrinkles, and the two small eyes were a little cloudy.

When he suddenly saw his expelled nephew, Moult, returning, his wrinkled face was both angry and terrified. Obviously, he didn't understand why this man who dared to rebel against himself was still alive.

Raising his smooth forehead, Moult looked directly at his own king, his uncle. Reaching out and tossing the golden unicorn badge on his chest to the ground, he said indifferently, "You can expel me, and I can refuse." You can put me to death, but I have royal blood in me, and you must do it publicly! ”

With the impression that even a little cowardly nephew dared to contradict him, the old king of the south sat up directly from the throne of pure gold. Green tendons covered his forehead, and he began to roar angrily, "Gather the nobles at once, gather all the ministers." Do you want to make it public? Good! In the name of the king, I will cut off your head directly in front of everyone. (To be continued......)
