I saw that the seven mercenaries on the left suddenly glanced at each other, and suddenly stepped forward with a tacit understanding. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of a few defending mountain people, he stabbed them over with a set of poles, exposing the old and weak hiding behind. Three of them took the opportunity to tie up the two of them and pulled them out, including the little girl and her mother who had given Anna a few mountain fruits.

Seeing the child and the woman being pulled out, several impulsive men were furious, took up arms and rushed up, trying to take the people back, but they were besieged by more people. If it weren't for the leader who asked a few mercenaries not to kill them, these impulsive fools would have been killed early in the morning.

"Don't be impulsive! Do you lowly mountain people want your people to die? The leader dragged several of the bound mountaineers to him, threatening the stubborn mountaineers who were surrounded in the center. He can see that it is impossible to capture slaves without dying, but it is even more unacceptable for him to let him run away from the fat in vain.

You must know that he is only a small leader in the mercenary group, these people are his family background, once he loses these people, then his position in the mercenary group will inevitably be unsafe, and he tries to use other means to force this group of people to commit crimes.

Anna on the other side didn't want to meddle in things, after all, these people initially thought of themselves as witches. She was about to quietly leave the scene and leave to the west, but the little girl's cry stopped her, but at this time she had no power to fight back.

A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and took out a black book from her arms...

...

The mercenary who held the little girl hostage over there kept shouting and scolding, trying to make the little girl quiet, but it backfired and made the little girl cry even louder. The mercenary was furious, and the long sword in his hand was about to be cut off, when a strange sound suddenly came from the forest.

The two sides of the confrontation were stunned for a moment, and they all looked towards the woods, and their faces suddenly turned pale. I saw a huge black shadow appear in the forest at some point, and the black shadow was like a mountain, pressing towards everyone.

"That's... What is that... Blame... Monster! Come on!! The mercenary closest to the outskirts of the forest shouted with a pale face, unable to withstand the pressure from the dark shadow, and fled first.

Even the mercenaries who were holding a few hostages were stunned by the sudden shadow, and for a moment they forgot what they were doing.

I saw the huge shadow roaring into the sky, but it didn't make the slightest sound. Then he rushed towards the mercenaries. Some mercenaries always live a life of licking blood with knives, and often fight with some fierce beasts, and they are not afraid to pick up the weapons in their hands and slash at the shadow.

But the sword pierced through the shadows without hindrance, but it didn't cause any pain to the shadows, but because he was stunned for a while, his body was instantly swallowed by the shadows! When the shadow passed through the bodies of these people, the mercenaries crouched on the ground and howled, causing the faces of the people standing behind them to change dramatically.

At this moment, the mercenaries didn't care about any orders, not even the hostages in their hands, and turned around and ran away without mercy. The mountain people who had been let go watched the shadow come towards them dumbfoundedly, forgetting to even run away.

At this time, the little girl who was held in her mother's arms saw a figure in the center of the shadow, "Mother! It's that sister! ”

Her eyes were good, and she could see Anna in the middle of the shadows. As if sensing something, Anna glanced at the little girl on the ground and said coldly: "Run, I can't hold on for long!" ”

The little girl's mother woke up from a dream, and hurriedly pulled a few villagers to turn around and run, only the little girl looked fixedly at the figure still wrapped in shadows.

...

As Anna said, the magic she uses is the Book of Dark Magic she has obtained from the sanctimonious physician Lem. Although most of the content on it is no longer visible after being polluted by muddy water, the content about summoning is so coincidentally retained.

It's just that Anna doesn't have any medium to summon at hand, so she uses her own blood as a medium, hoping to summon the minotaur again.

It's just that her ability is not enough, and the summoning circle she used is not at all the one used by the physician Lem at that time, and in the end she only summoned a strange and huge shadow. The shadow swallowed Anna into her stomach, and Anna realized what she was summoning:

Shadow Demons, monsters that wander between the present and the void. With a very short lifespan, they have always been creatures floating in the abyss, robbing other creatures of their strength so that they can live longer. Although it will plunder the energy of other creatures, it is indeed a harmless monster.

Seeing that the mountain people had fled and hid in the woods, Anna was trying to manipulate the Shadow Demon to get out of here. But the Shadow Demon's body at this time was rapidly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she only felt that her head was groggy again, understanding that her magic could no longer support the existence of the Shadow Demon.

By the time the shadow demon had completely dispersed, she had fallen to the ground, unable to even open her eyelids. The last scene in front of me was that the mercenaries who had been scared away by the shadow demon slowly walked back, and in a daze, they seemed to hear a heavy male voice say:

"It's a witch, lock her up! It is far better to bring this kind of woman with bad luck back than to bring some untrained gladiators. If it was in a duel tournament, using a witch as a blood sacrifice would definitely be a show worth watching, and this time the bounty has fallen. ”

Anna finally fainted to the cheers of the mercenaries, and was eventually locked in a large cart and sent to the West.

...

Wen Zhong didn't know what was happening to Anna at this time, and he flew Wales all the way from the east to the west, hardly stopping except for the necessary rest.

Wales asked him why he was in such a hurry to go back, but Wen Zhong was blocked by an arrow, and he flew for three days.

After Wen Zhong deliberately pointed in the wrong direction, the dragon Gillian flew in the northwest direction, and soon arrived near the Castle of the Two Lions, and this was the day when the envoys of the little Queen Emma arrived near the Castle of the Two Lions.

...

As a subordinate city of the Winter Fortress, the city is considered a semi-military city, and the military and political power of the entire city is concentrated in the hands of the city lord Red, who is the younger brother of the governor of the Winter Fortress, Nissen Hodal.

It can be said that Winter Fortress and Fortify the Two Lions are the final say of the Hodal family, when little Lori rode the one-eyed wolf Killy and appeared outside the castle of the Twin Lions under the escort of the naked berserker Arbuck. I saw a bearded man in gorgeous armor, uh no, a bearded man looking eagerly at the envoys, as if he was expecting someone.

As the envoys stopped at the gates of the Twin Lions, an attendant walked up, and Red, the lord of the Twin Lions, greeted the Snow Eagle and the Frostwolf Nation envoys. But when the bearded man heard that the Snow Eagle Queen he was expecting did not arrive, but let his daughter, a little Lori who did not even have any hair, represent the mission, his face suddenly became very ugly, and he turned around to enter the city.

Uh-huh! This bearded pervert must not have heard of what is called Lori has three good!

Returning to the text, just as Red, the uncle with the brain, was dissatisfied and wanted to shake his face in a rage, a warning bell suddenly sounded on the city wall.

Such a bell was familiar to everyone present, and almost instantly, everyone's faces changed. Taking out his weapons and guarding them, although Red is very sexy, he is still a soldier guarding the frontier after all. Hurriedly yelled for the soldiers to pick up their weapons, urging the group to enter the city, and he hurriedly went up to the city tower to see why the alarm was sounded.

As soon as he went up to the castle tower, he hardly had to be reported by the guards, and his face suddenly became very ugly.

A tiny black dot appeared at the end of the sky, and Red wasn't stupid, and of course knew it wouldn't be just a small black dot. To be able to be observed from such a distance, it must be a behemoth.

At the moment, he didn't ask anymore, and ordered the whole city to set up a giant crossbow and be on guard for air defense. After the war with the orcs, in order to guard against the raids of the bat riders of the orc clan from time to time, the Double Lion Castle and the Winter Fortress were equipped with a large number of defensive equipment, among which the ballista of the air defense was needless to say.

Little Lori and her party, who were introduced to the city by the soldiers, walked up to the city wall after getting the consent of the perverted uncle Red. Following the direction of everyone's vigilance, Little Lori and Arbuckle saw the black dot that appeared in the sky at a glance, and as time passed, the black dot became larger and larger.

Although the soldiers were on guard, they didn't think it would be an attack from the orc legion, after all, there was a winter fortress in front of them. It's more likely that it's just a flock of migrating birds passing over the city, or maybe even changing direction before they reach Twin Lions.

But they soon realized that they were wrong, and the black dot was not only not passing through the city, but flying straight towards the city. And... It wasn't a bird, it was a... Dragon!

"Dragon!" The captain of the guard standing next to Red couldn't help but exclaim, and was rewarded with an ear scraper by Red.

Red shouted, "All the troops are on alert, set up the ballistas!" Listen to me! ”

The faces of everyone present had changed drastically, and the entire Anubis Continent knew that the only remaining dragon on the continent had been staying in the western part of the Winter Mountains. Some fools have been digging into that mountain range for the sake of being dragon slaying warriors, and only a handful of them have come back alive in the end.

Could it be that the fools have finally angered the dragon? Red secretly scolded bad luck, but the city would not run, and for the sake of his own life, he could only stand in place, hoping that the dragon's target was not himself.

Contrary to his wishes, the dragon still flew towards the Twin Lions Castle with the expectant eyes of Red.

When everyone present was nervous, the palms of the hands holding the weapons were covered with cold sweat, and they only waited for the city lord's order to attack.

Many people in the city have already discovered the existence of the dragon, which has caused a lot of panic, but now is not the time to take into account the feelings of the civilians, Red's legs are a little weak, but he still stands still motionless. Seem... It's because I'm so scared that I can't walk.

Seeing that the dragon was getting closer and closer, and even reached the attack range of the defensive equipment of the Two Lions Castle, Red still refused to give the order. The captain of the guard on one side swallowed his saliva again and again and looked at the lord on the side, and couldn't help but ask, "My lord! ”

Red was touched before he seemed to turn around and see that the dragon was almost over the city. The stupid guy who delayed the fighter was about to give the order, but he quickly thanked himself for his sluggishness.

The dragon roared twice and landed in front of the castle. Two people jumped from the dragon, both of them were black-haired and black-eyed, older black-haired youths, dressed in ordinary soldier armor, which was ordinary but extremely new.

The young man who followed behind the young man was wearing a leather armor, which was also simple and clean. It's really curious how they managed to keep it so neat after flying with the dragon for so long.

Everyone standing on the city wall was stunned to look at the big and small ones that appeared in front of them, and suddenly the envoy from the combined mission of the Snow Eagle and the Frost Wolf Kingdom, little Lori Emma suddenly shouted excitedly: "Quick! Open the door! That's not the enemy! That's my guardian knight! ”

"What?" Red's eyes were about to fall, and he didn't react for a while, but little Lori had already rushed down the city wall and forcibly let the soldiers defending the city open the city gate.

Red stared blankly at the little girl in the city running, threw herself into the arms of the black-haired young man, and asked Arbuckle, who was still standing and grinning, stupidly, "That... Are your guardian knight mounts all dragons? Do you have any more knights like this? ”

Arbuck: "..."
