Chapter 117: Overture to Betrayal, Name of Frost, Tragedy of the Dead (2)
The underground vault of the Lion King City
A deep voice rang out in the chamber, lingering in the air with the ancient arcane incantation. The blue glowing circle on the ground absorbed the magic power, and gradually bloomed into a black light.
Anna on the edge of the circle struggled to remember everything about Ray, Lilith told herself, what she had experienced, and the last faint smile he had before jumping into the abyss, something she would never forget.
The circle suddenly beat violently like a heart! An invisible ripple rippled in the secret room, but the circle did not stop, and it beat three times in succession. The ripples spread out in an instant.
The Prime Minister, Oro and Anna, did not notice this abnormality, but the person in charge of casting Falim frowned, this movement was too big!
"O soul buried in the abyss! Wake up! Accept the call from this world! As Lem finished saying the syllable of the last incantation, a puff of black smoke suddenly rose from the middle of the circle, instantly enveloping the top of the entire secret room.
Lem was a little excited and said to the big fat man on the side, "My lord, it's a success!" We did it! ”
Anna on the side also looked at the depths of the black smoke excitedly, expecting to see him again, but when the black smoke gradually dissipated, what appeared in front of her was...
In the banquet hall, the violent ripples caused by the magic circle attracted the attention of Merlin, who was drinking. He usually only drinks water, he also drank a few glasses on such days, and he was a little surprised that mana ripples suddenly appeared in the palace, as the boss of the archmage group, he did not give an order to use spell fireworks.
The wine paralyzed his nerves, and he didn't react for a while, but he walked to Arthur's side with a little vigilance, and was about to talk to Arthur, but saw Arthur pick up his grandson. A little Shota with beautiful blonde hair - Ned.
This is Prince Mored's youngest son, who is only eight years old this year. Because he is the youngest grandson, he has the appearance of Arthur back then, and he is deeply loved by old Arthur.
Merlin saw that his old friend was enjoying the joy of family, and that the spell fluctuation had not appeared again, Merlin thought it was his own delusion, so he stopped talking, and only Arthur watched his old friend leave suspiciously.
Just when the atmosphere of the banquet hall was gradually reaching a climax, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere, I saw a person walking in outside the main entrance of the main hall.
It was a fat man in a red gold-rimmed robe, and as soon as Arthur saw this man, he raised the wine glass in his hand and tapped it lightly, attracting everyone's attention.
Arthur stood up and said, "Look, my good helper Poro is always so busy with business, even if it's such a grand celebration, he always takes care of business before he shows up. That's why I'm an old guy who has so much time to drink with everyone, hahaha! ”
His words made the guests in the hall laugh, but he didn't notice that Oro, who had always had a kind smile in the past, had a playful and playful expression on his face.
When people noticed Poro, he enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight, and only heard him whisper, "Yes, from today onwards, you will never have to deal with such tedious things." You can go to hell and enjoy fine wine every day. ”
When Arthur came back to his senses, his face suddenly became bright, and he was furious and said, "What are you talking about! But before he could finish speaking, he noticed the silver glow of the armor faintly shining from the wide neckline of Poro, "What are you going to do!?" ”
Poro picked up a glass of wine and drank it all with a nonchalant expression, and said with satisfaction, "What do you say?" ”
He casually threw the cup, and a sharp feathered arrow plunged directly into the chest of Mored's eldest son, Casbin, the second in line to the throne of the kingdom. The poor boy couldn't even get a line, and watched his father fall on the table.
I don't know when, every guard standing on the second floor has already taken a bow and arrow in their hands and aimed it below.
The arrow seemed to be like a trumpet, and the feathered arrows rained down like raindrops. The palace, which was still laughing and laughing one moment, has become a hell on earth the next!
Arthur kicked the table in front of him, using it as cover, grabbed Morred and Ned and hid inside. The light shield flashed next to Merlin nearby, and he also followed Arthur's example and hid in it. The vast majority of the actors who can be in the script in this scene are named and surnamed Zenith, although some people were caught off guard and received a box lunch, but many people still dodged the first wave of attacks.
Of course, since there is going to be a rebellion, how can this fat man arrange a rain of arrows. At the entrance of the main hall walked into a group of heavily armored soldiers, and whoever stood in front of Oro would surely die as long as he had a breath of air!
It's time again, only to hear Arthur ask, "Elo! You betrayed me! ”
"No, no, no! You are wrong, Arthur! Knowing the truth that the villain must die in words, Luo Luo said a little jokingly: "Do you remember the Thor family that was once destroyed by you?" ”
"That's... Is that...! Of course, Arthur knew very well that in order to inherit the throne, he chose to kill the Thor family, who were loyal to the previous king, exiled his father with his own hands, and finally ascended to the throne, but he did not understand that Poro was his playmate who had been playing since childhood.
Pleased with Arthur's shocked expression, Poro continued, "Oh, you probably don't know. In order to gain the trust of the royal family for generations, that family would put every child in the clan with all the king's heirs. But since the night that burned the blood of the Thor family has passed, this habit has been gone, because there is only one person left in the family!
After you slaughtered one of your brothers, exiled the former king, and completely eliminated all forces loyal to the former king, only one walking dead was left to laugh at your side!
Thirty years! I've waited thirty years to gain your trust! If it weren't for this invasion of the Sea Clan, would you have handed over the guards of the palace to me? Look no further, all the loyal guards are already waiting for you in Hell, and you can take them to continue to fulfill your imperial dream in Hell, which is the last gift from my friend from childhood to adulthood! ”
After all, he is still one of the top ten actors, Arthur was not deterred by the desperate situation in front of him, but took advantage of the stupid man of Polo to look at the surrounding environment.
There were two exits from this place, the main entrance of the main hall had been blocked by heavily armored soldiers, and the small side door of the squires was not blocked, but it was very far away from Arthur's position, and it was not known if there was an ambush there.
But Arthur's side is not without a chance of winning, because of the banquet, as the head and deputy head of the griffin knights, who are the top combat force of the kingdom, are all in this palace. Although the deputy regiment commander rushed into the street, the regiment commander Richard managed to dodge the first wave of attacks. Arnold, the captain of the guards who also guarded the palace, was also in the hall, and he was also not killed.
At the same time, there are still weapons in the hall, and there are nearly thirty nobles who can resist, if they resist, they may not have a glimmer of life, not to mention that there is an old friend Merlin on the side, the archmage of the kingdom.
As soon as Poro's words fell, the heavily armored soldiers rushed forward with large shields. Thankfully, the guys rushed up, and the archers on the roof stopped shooting.
Although Arthur did not wear his ornate armor, the famous weapon of the sword in the stone was still on his body. This old man, who is nearly sixty years old, has not been worn out by the years, and the long sword in his hand is slashed. He tore off one of the planks and used it as a shield and rushed out.
"You're trying to kill me?" With the remnants of the past, Arthur's appearance suddenly made the rebels hesitate.
"What are you waiting for? Don't do it yet! Dissatisfied with the fear of Arthur from his men, "Don't forget who you are!" ”
The heavily armored soldiers hesitated, but raised their steel shields and rushed towards Arthur.
"Muddy! Slow! Merlin, who was on the side, saw that his old friend rushed forward as before, and immediately released a spell to help. Caught off guard, the rebel soldiers flipped on their backs. Taking advantage of Arthur's momentum, the nobles who were still holding weapons immediately rushed out of a dozen people and attacked around the heavily armored soldiers. They were all battle-hardened fellows, and they quickly suppressed these heavily armored soldiers.
The scene suddenly fell into chaos again, but Arthur took advantage of this time to quickly rush to Elo, apparently to capture the thief and capture the king first. But Luo Luo didn't have a trace of panic, still with that joking look, and slowly retreated to the main entrance of the main hall.
"Suffer death! Defector! Arthur's long sword slashed hard, but it was easily dodged by Poro, and he wanted to continue the pursuit, but suddenly felt a chill.
It was a sense of crisis that had been cultivated in the battle formation for many years, and Arthur rolled on the spot, only to see a huge iron rod sweeping the entire gate, and the momentum was so great that it actually swept off a pillar in one fell swoop.
Arthur looked up and was stunned. I saw one monster after another pass through the gate of the main hall. He was wearing a huge half-body of thick leather armor, and his head was framed by a large iron plate, leaving only a thin slit in the eye area. The whole body seemed to be tortured, especially the shocking blood-colored scar on the throat.
If Wen Zhong was here, he would definitely recognize that this monster was the minotaur he had fought in the abyss.
The monster had a chain around its neck, and the other end of the chain was locked to a figure. The figure was wearing a large light blue steel-patterned half-length armor with a snow eagle fluttering its wings on it. The brown-haired girl's eyes were lost, and she let the monster pull her, muttering, "How could it be... How so..."
The monster ignored the girl on the other end of the chain, and the huge iron rod swept towards the warrior who was still besieging the heavily armored soldiers. Arnold, the head of the palace guard, did not check for a while, but was hit with a huge stick, and immediately threw himself on the wall and vomited blood, and immediately settled the account. became the second first-line actor in this script to receive a boxed lunch, (the first one was the unlucky child Frostwolf King) Richard, the head of the Griffin Knights, took the opportunity to rush forward, but his long sword, which had killed countless enemies, could not pierce the skin of this monster, and did not even leave a mark.
Arthur waved his long sword, and while the monster couldn't react, the sword cut the monster's Achilles tendon. In the end, it was the boss, and the sword in the stone in his hand was even better than Wen Zhong's blue long sword with telekinesis.
The minotaur was in pain, and turned around to sweep Arthur with a sweep. Arthur was at a time when the old power had exhausted the new power and was not yet born, and he saw that it was too late, but a figure suddenly came out and pushed Arthur out!
The huge iron rod swept steadily into the figure, and the figure immediately flew out and smashed directly into the wall. The figure fell to its knees, spitting blood from its mouth and saying, "Father... Father! Run! It turned out to be Prince Mored, but he also died in battle after this attack, and became another heavyweight actor who received a boxed lunch.
"Ah!!h Arthur's eyes were red, and he was about to rush forward in an instant. But the monster has set its sights on more people and is killing in a place where more people are gathering, and the fear it brings reigns here!
Merlin kept casting spells and slowing down the monster's movements, while carefully observing everything about the monster. Soon, he noticed Anna on the other end of the monster's chain, and he knew the little girl. He felt the fluctuation of the transmission of mana, and soon found that although the monster was controlled by the magic emitted by the doctor Lem hiding behind, the connection between the monster and Anna was more obvious, far exceeding Lem's control.
Before Arthur could rush forward, he suddenly felt his legs and feet go limp, and he half-knelt down.
On the side, Luo Luo jumped out again and laughed loudly: "Keep fighting!" Of course I know you're not going to be tied up, my old friend! So I poisoned your favorite wine! Keep fighting! My old friend, the longer you fight, the faster the poison will flow with your blood, and you will die in battle! This is your fate! ”
As Oro said, several people who were still fighting fell to their weak legs one after another, and were killed by the monster's sword.
"This monster... Exactly... How... Come in..."Arthur looked at the monster that was still raging.
Polo looked at Arthur, who was already at the end of his rope, and couldn't control his chatterbox and said, "You must not have imagined that this monster is the knight you admire, the knight who voluntarily jumped into the abyss. Under the pollution of the abyss, that knight has long since become such a monster. But I admire him even more, because he will kill the king of the most powerful kingdom on this continent! ”
"Nope! This is not the breath of humanity! A wise voice interrupted Oro, who was about to continue speaking, it was Merlin's voice, "This monster has no trace of humanity at all, and you have made a big mistake!" ”
As he spoke, a green light bloomed in his hand, and the light quickly overshadowed everyone's eyes, only to hear Lem scream. "Shock the heart!" The magic quickly dispelled the shadow that shrouded the monster, and it also completely severed the connection between Lem and the monster!
The monster roared in the sky, and tried to move but froze because the girl on the other end of the chain woke up!
"Anna, listen to me! The monster in front of you isn't the knight called Thunder! Don't be fooled by the darkness in the heart of this monster! Wake up! Merlin exclaimed.
Zoya looked at the corpses everywhere in some confusion, and then looked at Merlin who spoke.
"Humph! You just keep talking nonsense! This soul is the only one hovering in the abyss! Who else but that knight! The soul of the knight you respect has long since been corrupted like this..."Lem was still laughing wildly, but was thrown by a spell missile from Merlin.
"Don't believe his! Little girl, there is no trace of humanity on this monster, it is not human! Merlin shouted as hard as he could.
There is only one soul wandering in the abyss...
This monster is not Thunder...
There's only one monster hovering in the abyss...
This monster is not Thunder...
Two thoughts lingered in Anna's mind, and in an instant her pupils narrowed! Don't...
...
The Dragon's Lair in the Winter Mountains
This is a huge cave, the cave is very large, there is almost nothing, if there is, it is some ice sculptures that have been frozen for I don't know how many years, and even what is inside has long been covered by the thick ice.
Wen Zhong was brought to this place by the dragon, which should be the dragon's lair.
"Say, ants! Dare to lead a nasty undead to disturb my rest, what kind of ice sculpture do you want to be made? A dragon stared condescendingly, with great interest, at the weak human who was still in place.
If it hadn't been sleeping for many years, and a dragon had been in this place for too long, it wouldn't have bothered to have more BB with the tiny ants in front of it, and would directly spray the dragon's breath into scum and then reason.
"You... Is it the dragon that lives here? Wen Zhong looked at the behemoth in front of him with some surprise, but he only stopped at 'some'.
In fact, in his impression, there are no more than two kinds of dragons, the Eastern Dragon and the Western Dragon, and since it is in a script with a Western fantasy background, then this dragon must be a Western dragon. However, this is indeed a Western dragon, yes! It's just that its size is much smaller than Wen Zhong imagined.
The dragon that appeared in front of him was a large lizard about thirty meters in size with wings. The whole body is snow-blue, not much different from the dragon that he has not crossed the previous movie theme said to have appeared, a pair of huge yellow pupils can't help but glance at his body, and two white frost gases are spewed out from his nostrils from time to time.
"Are these your last words? It's boring, for the sake of you being the first human I've seen in years, make it easier for you to die! "The dragon probably had lost its freshness, and felt sleepy, and wanted to get rid of the ants in front of him before going back to sleep.
I saw that its mouth opened wide, and a white cold breath brewed out of its throat, and it was about to vomit a mouthful of old phlegm... A dragon's breath was about to be sprayed on Wen Zhong's body.
Wen Zhong shouted, "Wait a minute, I'm from the city of Plath down the mountain. The city of Plath is in a great crisis right now, and I have come here to ask you for help! As he spoke, he was about to take out the dragon scales that had been hidden in his arms for a long time.
At this time, the dragon's reaction caught him by surprise, and when the dragon heard that Wen Zhong was from Plath City at the bottom of the mountain, he immediately became furious: "You liars, you dare to mention Plath City again in front of me? What about Mike's despicable human? After trapping me in this place, you still want my help? ”
The dragon's angry breath mixed with the cold impacted Wen Zhong's body, and the cold through the bones couldn't stop Wen Zhong from scolding his mother in his heart. Theon's pit teammate must have made a mistake, and at the moment, the dragon's expression doesn't look like he had a friendship with the first generation of city lords.
If it weren't for the unlucky kid of Sion who cheated himself, then the truth must have been distorted for a long time, which is really terrifying!
Wen Zhong didn't have to take out the scales in his arms now, it was time to find a chance to slip away, and if he didn't use his hidden power against such a behemoth, he had no chance of winning at all. But with the power that shouldn't have appeared, it is definitely going to be checked by the water meter.
The dragon was still hysterically venting its anger, and every now and then it was unhygienic to freeze the trees into ice slag with a few breaths of dragon breath.
Wen Zhong took advantage of the fact that the dragon was still furious, and slowly retreated towards the outside of the dragon's nest.
But he didn't get his wish, and a beam of cold air sprayed behind Wen Zhong, quickly condensing into a wall of ice. The angry voice rang out: "Ant, do you want to escape?" ”
Wen Zhong turned his head to look at the ice wall that had formed in an instant, and the little animal in his heart had already run wildly. Looking at the dragon still standing in place, he said, "I'm here to ask for help, since you have a grudge against Plath City, then I won't bother you." As he spoke, he was going around the thick wall of ice.
If you don't agree with each other, you will vomit... The dragon's breath is another mouthful... Dragon breath blocked Wen Zhong's way, "Since you're here, let's become my collection!" As he spoke, another mouthful of dragon breath rushed towards Wen Zhong.
Of course, Wen Zhong couldn't sit still, and a short body dodged the sweep of the dragon's breath and hid in the shadow of the boulder.
But the dragon didn't care, it still spewed towards Wen Zhong with mouthfuls of dragon breath, Wen Zhong quickly passed through the cracks and shadows of the rocks, although the dragon breath was full of energy, the dragon quickly lost Wen Zhong's figure.
But it was not worried at all, there were two exits to the cave, but one of the exits had collapsed, and the remaining cave entrance was nothing to hide, as long as the human wanted to leave, he would definitely not be able to escape his dragon breath.
"Dragon! Can you tell me your story? What did Mike, the lord of Plath City, do? Wen Zhong hid in a shadow in the cave, and when he saw that the unhygienic guy had finally stopped breathing, he was staring firmly at the place where the exit was, and he guessed the guy's thoughts at once.
Unable to get out, Wen Zhong felt that maybe he could communicate with this giant dragon, and maybe he could get a chance to leave this place.
Wen Zhong's voice echoed in the empty cave, the dragon wandered in the cave, but he could never find the figure of the ant, and suddenly when he heard the ant mention that despicable human, he was immediately furious and went crazy again!
The dragon was spewing dragon breath in a frenzy, revealing only a few words, and soon let Wen Zhong know the general idea.
It is said that this frost dragon was still a young dragon no more than five or six meters long, and it has stayed in this area since it was born. I don't know how many years passed, but when it grew to sixteen or seventeen meters, an uninvited guest arrived.
This person is naturally Mike, the first generation of the city lord of Plath, and the dragon who has not been deeply involved in the world has not yet realized what it means to be sinister in people's hearts. At that time, there was news of a dragon at the foot of the Winter Mountains, and many people had just seen the dragon from a distance and fled, which made Mike, who had built a castle at the bottom of the mountain, feel strange.
According to most of the theories in the mainland at that time, some of the higher-level nobles knew that the dragon clan had already perished in that era when the gods were at war. But the fools didn't know much, and in order to calm the panic of the people, Mike decided to take his knight into the Winter Mountains and capture the monster posing as a dragon.
However, when Mike actually saw the dragon, he was speechless, and fled back to the city, and soon a letter for help flew out of Plath's Castle, which was only a fortress at the time.
At first, the young dragon didn't know what the 'monkey' was doing, and when Mike fled down the hill, it didn't pursue it, a decision he regretted for the rest of his life.
It had been two months since Mike reappeared in front of the young dragon. In the past two months, he has constantly sent some people who are not afraid of death to keep an eye on the young dragon, although the young dragon knows that there are many prey in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, but its lazy personality and the position at the top of the food chain make it disdain to chase them away.
Because of this, Mike finally learned that this 'dragon' was actually only a child, and he didn't know why his parents were no longer around, so a plan appeared in his mind.
He pretended to be a human who had been rescued by the young dragon and began to live peacefully with the young dragon for three months. Three months is nothing for a dragon with a long age, but it's enough for two different races to forge a friendship.
Mike, who has gained the trust of the young dragon, invites the young dragon to a valley woodland, which is now the dragon's lair.
The large, empty cavern filled the young dragon with a sense of freshness that it had never felt in the mountains and forests. It happily plays in the cave, but when it looks back, it finds that the human who had always claimed to be its friend had exited the cave.
"Mike! What are you doing? Come on in, I love this place! The young dragon was glad to bring Mike in, but a reddish chain in the void slammed into its wings.
The young dragon looked at the void with nothing in horror, only to find that the top of the cave had already been engraved with many mysterious incantations, and the incantations faintly flashed with red light.
"What's going on!? Mike! The young dragon looked at Mike who was still standing outside the cave in shock and anger, but found that there were many more people outside the cave who had never seen humans, and they were wearing all kinds of magic robes and chanting spells loudly.
"Don't read it!" As the incantation became louder and louder, the incantation on the roof of the cave glowed with a blazing red light, which made the frost attribute young dragon very uncomfortable, and it rushed towards the entrance of the cave as a slave, trying to get out of here, but the closer it got to the entrance of the cave, the more flame chains wrapped around its body!
"Why!? Why!? The young dragon looked at Mike angrily, trying to see something in the eyes of the faceless human in front of him, but it was disappointed, it saw nothing.
"Don't struggle, you can't break this seal, this place is the passage of the Winter Mountains to the north of the continent, just... Please stay here, and now you can have a good rest. Mike looked at the young dragon who was still struggling and couldn't help but say.
"Liar! You betrayed me! Defector!!! The young dragon struggled angrily, the flame chain left a black mark on its body, and a dragon scale fell down as it struggled, and the flame chain touched the wound, which immediately made the young dragon howl and retreat into the cave!
Mike picked up the dragon scales that had fallen to the ground, looked at the young dragon that was gradually hidden in the cave, but looked at him angrily, and whispered, "Goodbye, my friend! ”
...
It can be seen that Mike is definitely a black-bellied man. Wen Zhong irresponsibly labeled the first generation of city lord Mike, and it was no wonder that the dragon was so angry.
At this moment, Wen Zhong only felt a sudden burst of cold air from the stone above his head.
"Found you! Ant! "It was the dragon who discovered his tracks, and a miserable white dragon breath spewed down from the sky!
...
"Retreat! Retreat from the walls! Raise the big shield!! The commander shouted loudly as the soldiers who were still fighting retreated from the walls.
From the battle to the afternoon, the Terrans had repelled three waves of attacks from the zombie army, at the cost of the tragic deaths of countless humans. Several battles to the most critical moments, they all relied on the oil tank to release flames and forcibly forced the zombies back, but it is precisely because of this that everyone's hearts are clouded, what if the oil tank runs out?
When the last zombie army stepped on the previous corpse mountain and poured into the city, there was no place to push the zombie army down, because the corpse mountain had completely filled the entire city wall. God knows how many people these deranged necromancers killed and how many of the dead were awakened.
In desperation, the Terrans had no choice but to withdraw from the front.
Zoya grabbed a soldier and threw him backwards, and with a swing of her sword, another head flew up. After a long time of fighting, even if she has been strengthened by a half-corpse, she can't bear it. But the battle continued, and after Theon gave the order to retreat, countless zombies climbed the wall and fell from it like dumplings.
But no one cared, the soldiers retreated in panic, only some of them were still holding large shields against the zombie horde and slowly retreated. Entering the city, the streets and alleys became an obstacle to the tactics of crowds, and the soldiers leaned against the nearby walls, step by step, carrying the corpses to the predecessor of Price City, Price Castle.
What should have been the palace of the city lord has become the last place of refuge for the living in the city. Fortunately, it was precisely because of the defense against wild beasts that the castle still maintained the specifications of a military fortress, and it was barely able to defend against the invasion of zombie armies.
The civilians had already been arranged to hide in the castle, and the soldiers were slowly retreating under the orders of the commander, but it was all pointless if no reinforcements arrived.
Still fighting, Zoya, who saved the lone human, couldn't help but look up at the sky. The sun emitted a weak light, as if it was frightened by death everywhere.
"Ray..."
At this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted, "Zoya! The castle lord is trapped! ”
...
