Chapter 226: The Sacrificial City of Darlan
The place where the Egret Kingdom meets the three kingdoms of the Filan Kingdom and the Gangdu Kingdom.
It is an important commercial transit point.
Relying on this unique geographical advantage, a city dominated by commercial transactions gradually flourished.
After hundreds of years and the efforts of generations, the commercial city of Dhahran, known as the city of Dhahran, gradually expanded into a large city that was not inferior to the royal capitals.
It has a permanent population of more than 200,000 and is visited every day by tourists and businessmen from all over the world.
It has made it rich and oily, and at the same time has been favored by many neutral forces.
And politically, it also relied on the particularity of the geographical location to obtain the autonomy that the Egret Kingdom had to recognize, so that it belonged to the Egret Kingdom on the territory.
But it's already a country within a country.
On a tower in the Wizarding Academy in Dharan City.
A pair of masters and apprentices who claimed to be wandering wizards had just finished a day's practice and were coming to this high tower in the city to look into the distance.
"Teacher, I heard that the giants have conquered the dwarves." The wizard apprentice on the tower was tired of seeing the scenery, and said in a soft voice: "Didn't the teacher say before that the dwarves have a strong temperament and will never surrender easily? ”
The sorceress of the master flicked the head of the apprentice, gave her a blank look, and said, "You also remember that the teacher said that it will not be easy. ”
"But that's a giant!"
"I haven't forgotten when I took you to Iron Furnace City, the royal capital of the Steel Capital Kingdom!"
"At that time, I happened to encounter the giant attacking the city."
"Teacher! I remember, the giant was so powerful that he could unleash the magic that made the sky burn without any sorcery fluctuations! ”
The female apprentice's eyes lit up, and she said with some excitement: "Later, he entered the city alone, and regarded the 100,000 army of Grand Duke Yanan as if it were nothing, and it was ......."
At this time, the female apprentice blushed and said, "When he put out the fire, he was really too careful!" He also hid the strange artifact that unleashed the witchcraft of the flood and used it! ”
"I even released an Eagle Eye at that time! As a result, nothing was seen! ”
The female apprentice puffed up her regrets for the day, and her teacher gently patted her forehead, and quickly changed the topic: "Okay, since you asked me why the dwarf surrendered." ”
"Then let me see why." The female teacher took out a blue crystal ball.
As the spell is cast, an image gradually appears on it.
It was a man's conversation with a bearded dwarf in a tavern.
"Old Handa, I didn't expect to see you in the City of Miracles so soon."
"Hey, I didn't expect your Chamber of Commerce to send you to this city of miracles."
"Tell me, what's going on, right? You dwarves don't seem to have much to lose this time. ”
"Hey! Not yet...... That giant is terrible! The bearded dwarf said this, and drank the ale from his glass in one gulp.
"Too much insight into our dwarven hearts!"
After a pause, the dwarf gasped and said, "Don't you know, at that time, our dwarf clan was killed with the intention of not being a slave, and the slogans were shouted so that the whole mountain range was shaken!" ”
"The result...... We're all ready to fight the giant to the death! ”
"Who knows, that giant actually shouted the slogan of Bao Bao out!"
"Huh? Eat and wrap up, and you'll surrender! ”
"Bah, I swore that I would not be a slave, how could I surrender like this? At that time, we just thought that the giants might not be so bad, and that surrender was impossible! ”
"It's just that the giant is shameless, and he brought out the wine again, tsk...... You don't know the smell of wine, I can't forget it now! ”
"At the moment of fine wine, and we are not slaves, we dwarves are not so excited at first......"
"So you surrendered?"
"Phew, of course...... And that's not all! The most important thing is that the giant took out the steel that our clan has never seen in a lifetime! ”
The bearded dwarf said this, stood up, and trembled all over, "That's the forging material that we dwarves have been dreaming of!" ”
"My friend, do you know that no dwarf can resist the temptation of material ......"
"No dwarves can!"
Saying that, the bearded man picked up the ale wine of the person opposite and drank it dry in one go.
This is the end of the image of the crystal ball.
Let the female apprentice blink her beautiful eyes and say, "It's actually a trick of seduction." ”
"I was so surprised, I thought that giant only knew how to fight and kill, and I didn't think that he was as smart as the black lizard next door!"
The female teacher rubbed her forehead: "Don't call His Royal Highness the Black Dragon King Susiar like that, he will be angry." ”
"Oh...... But he couldn't hear it anyway, so we whispered it was okay! The female apprentice stuck out her tongue and said cheerfully.
"Huh? The teacher ......" The female apprentice suddenly noticed a part of Dharan City that looked like a civilian area, and said in a low voice: "It's strange, how can there be the breath of the abyss there!" ”
"Impossible!"
The female teacher knew how good her apprentice was, and she said that it was impossible, but a true eye was released, allowing her to see through the illusion ahead.
"Oh my God...... The Apostles of the Abyss are sacrificing the entire city! ”
After breaking the illusion, the female teacher saw that there was already chaos in the city, and there were abyssal monsters hunting humans everywhere, and then dragged them to the nearby mountain of corpses.
The female teacher saw the witchcraft circle under the corpse mountain, and immediately understood the intention of these abyss monsters.
She hurriedly cast a spell, summoned a strong wind that swept through the apprentice, and they flew high into the air.
"Teacher, don't you warn the people of Dhahran City?"
"We can't meddle in the battle between the Abyss and the Terrans." The female teacher shook her head slightly: "I can only let them ask for more blessings." ”
As she said this, she noticed that in the city, a huge phantom of the Abyss Fire Demon appeared, and she raised her head to look at herself.
In an instant, the magic robe on her body shone with a dazzling silver light, which made the flame demon snort unpleasantly, and after realizing that the wizard had seen through the illusion, it raised its head but screamed, and in an instant, it released a monstrous demon flame, shocking the whole city!
Suddenly, as if a signal was issued, raging flames suddenly appeared around Dhalan City, forming a wall of flames more than forty meters high, blocking the entire city!
And around the city, countless abyss demons and abyss monsters that were implanted with xenomorphs and mutated rushed into the city one by one, fearless of the flames.
Naturally, Dharan City was in chaos all of a sudden, and countless civilians were facing the abyss monsters that suddenly appeared, and they had no resistance at all.
Even the army of the City Lord's Mansion had just been assembled, and it was directly blown up by a few large fireballs that were no less than the power of first-level peak witchcraft erupted from the Flame Demon Phantom.
For a while, the entire city of Dharan City fell into the hands of the abyss monsters, and it seemed to be a matter of time before it turned into a sacrificial sacrifice......
The City Lord's Mansion of Dharan City, a black-clothed guard of the City of Miracles, escaped the pursuit of an abyss demon and ran into the City Lord's Mansion.
He saw the crowd of refugees in the halls of the city lord's mansion and found a general who was maintaining order.
"What about the city lord?" The blackcoat asked.
"City lord, he ......," the middle-aged general said in a trembling voice, "He has fallen." ”
"What?"
"We're done!" At this time, a merchant who came in by knocking on the door shouted frantically, "The city of Dharan is over!" Our lord is a believer in the abyss! ”
"Woo...... We're dead, we're going to have everything gone! ”
Swish!
The black-clad guard rushed over and knocked the merchant flying with a single punch.
Then he turned to face the panicked crowd: "There is hope!" ”
"Your Excellency the Great Protector of the Kingdom...... We're coming here! ”
"That giant from the canyon of the gods!"
"The one hundred and eighty-meter-tall giant?"
"How could he come to save us!"
Everyone couldn't believe it, but it was true that after getting hope, it was not as lifeless as it was at the beginning.
"Are you telling the truth?" The general asked.
"Yes, I promise!" The black-clothed guard nodded: "Your Highness has been worried about what the apostles of the abyss are planning, so they sent us scattered in various big cities. ”
"The abyssal monsters have blocked the witchcraft communication of Dalan City, which allows His Highness to quickly detect that there is an abnormality in Dalan City!"
"Hold on, Your Highness will definitely come to our rescue!"
After listening to the explanation of the black-clothed guards, although he could guess that they had more than this purpose, the general still went to the study of the city lord's mansion and activated the defensive circle of Dalan City.
At the same time, his voice was heard, spreading the news that the giants were about to arrive throughout the city.
In the distance, the Abyss Fire Demon felt that his phantom was gradually consolidating, nodded slightly in satisfaction, and glanced at the city lord hiding in the corner.
This city lord was already more than a hundred years old, but now, relying on the favor of the abyss, he was promoted to become a first-class peak transcendent knight and regained his youth.
He has a vibrant body and a handsome appearance again.
He held the Greedy Pot's Pot in his hand and looked humbly at the Abyssal Flame Demon.
Even if the other party is just a projection, its strength is enough to sweep the whole city without any pressure.
As for the other party's body, it is even more like a great master of the Thousand Feather Empire, and a third-level abyss monster that he has to scruple about!
"As long as the whole city is sacrificed, can it really satisfy the appetite of the pot of the greedy?" The city lord thought so.
The Abyss Flame Demon, who was quite interested, seemed to have seen through the other party's thoughts, and said, "The appetite of the Pot of the Greedy One can never be satisfied!" ”
"For it, pain and sorrow, fear and anger, the more the better!"
"Sacrificing this city is only the first step in completing the master's plan."
"Huh?" The Abyssal Fire Demon said this, and heard the voice coming from the magic circle in the city.
"Giants?" He heard the word, which had been emphasized many times, and said disdainfully: "He is thousands of miles away...... Want to get here? ”
"Impossible!" The Abyss Flame Demon snorted confidently: "Calculate the time, at this time, the Grand Duke of the Crypt has already sacrificed the world's strange things...... Unleash the lightning bolt of death, killing or wreaking the giant! ”
At this time, the Abyss Flame Demon suddenly heard a gurgling sound in the distance.
It couldn't help but turn its head curiously to look in that direction.
Suddenly, the abyssal fire demon and the witch and apprentice in the air both saw it, at the end of the earth.
A knight in black full-body armor rode a metal chariot on two wheels.
Under the sunset light at dusk behind, come at great speed!
