Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
As the golden dragons flew closer and closer, the others saw their appearance clearly.
The largest male dragon Manudos. The golden scales on Jin Yan's body glowing with gorgeous light had many traces of smoke and fire, and there was even a wound on his abdomen, which was slowly oozing dragon blood. What kind of sharp weapon can break the scales of an adult golden dragon and hurt the ** inside?
Manudos. Golden Flame's wife, Dotriris, was also not very good, as she had a large hole in her right wing, which seemed to be caused by some kind of strong corrosion, which made her constantly adjust her balance and maintain her body posture when flying. In addition, Dotrilis's head also has several sharp scratches, and the bone is almost visible.
The two young dragons were in much better condition than their parents. This is not because they are very strong, but because Manudos and Dotrilith take good care of their children and protect them from too much damage even in battle.
Four golden dragons landed on the rooftop one after another. Manudos' rapid gasps rang out like a drum in the hearts of every human being. He chanted a spell in the language of a dragon and cast a high-level healing spell that Gordon did not recognize. Golden light spread from the heart of his claws, quickly enveloping the other three golden dragons.
After the light dissipated, the wounds on the four members of the Golden Dragon family disappeared without a trace.
It was only then that Manudos transformed into human form.
However, although the injury had healed with the help of the spell, Gordon could still see that there was an unconcealed tiredness and weakness on Manudos's handsome and haughty face.
"Old friend, can you tell me what happened?" Rob. Antelo asked.
Don't look at the fact that each of these people has titles such as earl, viscount, legion commander, and city lord that ordinary people look up to. But the only person who can really make the golden dragon look at each other and speak can only be the Lord of Wands.
Perhaps with the Seal of Platinum. The dragons would have taken Gordon in particular, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to join in the fun.
"Princess Marlene's fortress has been breached......," Manudos said with a look of iron on his face.
Before the golden dragon could finish speaking, it caused an uproar around him.
Yesterday, I received the news that the orc army had arrived at Princess Marlene's fortress, and the commander of the defenders, Viscount Huck, had decided to put up a desperate resistance, so why was the fortress breached today?
"Hackett surrendered?"
"No, I saw the commander of the fortress die on the walls with my own eyes." Manudos shook his head. He said with a rare sigh. "The enemy came up with new weapons. A weapon that has been lost in the world of Telos for thousands of years, and which I have only heard of from my father's mouth. ”
The deep gaze of the golden dragon cast into the distance, the lead cloud rolling in the sky: "The enemy is in his hands." There is a flying battleship. ”
Flying battleships?
Hearing Manudos say this word, Gordon immediately thought of the remains of the flying warships in the Danze ruins, which had fallen, but plunged straight into the earth like a sharp sword. Even after the tragic war and the erosion of time. But those Netherduran Magic Empire's ultimate weapons. It still has the courage to make people's hearts shake just by looking at it.
Jin Long paused, and now everyone was so shocked by his words that they couldn't react, even Rob. Grand Duke Antello also showed an expression of disbelief. He added: "Maybe I'm a little bit inaccurate. The enemy's flying battleship was incomplete and lacked the most crucial part of this weapon: the power source. Rob, specifics. I think you and the young man will know better than I do when we see the real thing with our own eyes. You know. I am only interested in paintings, songs, and literature, and I don't know much about murder weapons. ”
The golden dragon glanced at Gordon and added, "Protecting that flying battleship are more than a hundred Chaos Wyverns. They are ugly creatures born of a mixture of cold venom wyverns and demonic bloodlines that live on the shores of the Endless Ocean to the northeast, and they can breathe a poisonous mist of extremely corrosive and chaotic energy, so you better be careful. ”
Gordon looked at Dotriris, the wound on the wing of the golden dragon wife should have been caused by the Chaos Wyvern.
"Rob, we need to rest, I'm afraid we won't be able to help you for the time being."
"It doesn't matter." The Scepter Lord summoned an attendant, "I have prepared a room for you, so your family can rest assured. ”
After the four members of the Jin Long family left, everyone was reluctant to leave the terrace where the cold wind was blowing. With a sad look on their faces, they cast their eyes on the distant horizon.
"Flying warships from the time of the Magic Empire of Netherland? What kind of weapon was that that could help the orc army capture the fort of Princess Marlene, which was so strong, in a single day? "High Rock City Lord Reso. A deep look of worry appeared on Count L'Lordedo's face.
In terms of defense standards alone, High Rock is not much stronger than Princess Marlene's fortress, and the city's biggest advantage over other Northland fortresses that have been captured is its size. But how useful is this scale in the face of that kind of powerful weapon from the era of legends?
"What the hell is that, we'll find out soon."
Rob. The words of Archduke Antelo, like prophecy, soon became true.
That afternoon, as the sky turned from leaden white to gray, and night was gradually falling, the sentinels on the terrace at the top of the Red Rock Fortress, the highest point in all of High Rock, seemed to have changed in their sight.
In winter, the northern hilly plains have long since faded the last trace of emerald green in late autumn. From the top of High Rock, it looks like an undulating carpet of withered yellow, stretching to the end of the line of sight where it meets the sky. Now, in the farthest distance as far as the eye can see, in this monotonous yellow, there are suddenly a few black and green mixed and colorful embellishments.
The green is not the verdant of plants, but the savage complexion of orcs. The blackness is not the depth of the fertile soil, but the messy fur of the wolf.
"Wolf Cavalry!" The sentinels who saw this scene immediately went out on the alarm.
The wolf cavalry, who were scouts for the orc army, had arrived at the foot of High Rock Castle, and everyone knew what that meant.
Several wolf cavalry arrogantly stopped a kilometer away from High Rock City, circled around a few times, left behind a string of rampant laughter and rude invective, and then turned away. However, the defenders of High Rock will not be relieved by this, on the contrary, Rob . After hearing the news, the Grand Duke of Antelo immediately issued a first-class combat readiness order,
The hinges retracted, the gears turned, the bridge over the moat was pulled high, and the gates of High Rock were tightly shut. The soldiers put on their armor, took up their weapons, and after assembling, they immediately went to the defense zone already demarcated on the city wall under the leadership of the officer. Rolling wood, stones, tar, arrows, and other supplies were also removed from the warehouse by the auxiliaries and placed within reach of the front-line combat soldiers. Wartime fire brigades of citizens also assembled in the various towns, carrying wooden barrels and standing beside carriages filled with water, nervous even past the soldiers on the walls who were about to face the enemy. If the orcs want to set High Rock on fire with rockets or catapult-thrown bombs, then these firefighters must be the first to rush to the scene of the fire.
When Gordon climbed the city wall with Sheona, Dalina, Chuck and the others, he saw a long green line in the distance that stretched almost infinitely on both sides.
This line is made up of countless orc warriors who have honed their sturdy bodies and green skin in the wind and frost of the barren tundra.
"It's an honor to fight alongside you, Baron Freeman!" A young officer wearing a cockscomb helmet gave a Ferreton salute to Gordon on the city walls. This handsome, young man who looked like he was just an adult, named Sword, was a centurion of the Redstone Legion. Tonight, Gordon will make a temporary cameo as a battlefield mage to help Sword defend the section of the wall to the left of the High Rock gates.
Syllable!
Immediately after Sword, the soldiers on the city wall also saluted Gordon in unison.
The sound of the soldiers' neat movements made even Dulina, who had never seen any big scenes, shrink his neck in fright.
After the last celebration, Gordon has become a household name in High Rock. No matter where he walked in the city, there was always a soldier who immediately gave him the most solemn military salute when he met him.
Just like half of the success of celebrities is due to the operation team behind them, Gordon's current status of being respected by thousands of people is probably due to a large part of the skill of Archduke Antelo in successfully running the celebration meeting and his impassioned speech at the conference.
Gordon didn't enjoy the cheers and adoration of the spotlight like Derrington. As a mage, he prefers to hide behind the scenes and focus on his own business.
So in the face of this kind of welcome, which can already be called grand, Gordon only nodded lightly in response. In the eyes of Chuck and others, his action is another matter. These newly appointed Freeman retainers were immediately shocked by the indifference of the head of the family.
After a brief introduction, Centurion Sword and Gordon went to the city wall and looked through the battlements at the approaching orc army.
The son of a nobleman who had been offered the rank of centurion since joining the army, Sward had never experienced a real war, so his face began to turn pale at the sight of the seemingly endless armies of orcs that covered the plain like a sea of green.
In particular, the boots of hundreds of thousands of orcs stepped on the ground together, and the deep sound that seemed to be able to penetrate the soul came out, and every time it sounded, Sword couldn't help but gasp.
"Take it easy, Centurion, there's something more terrible to come."
"Are you comforting me?" Sword looked at Gordon with a wry smile. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden rumbling sound from the distant sky, deep in the clouds. (To be continued......)
