Chapter 103: Marching into the Valley of Troubled Stones

It was a black, satin-smooth hide. The fur was not large, only the size of two palms in total, but it was contained in a magic gold box forty centimeters square and twenty centimeters thick. The box is also engraved with a magic pattern circle that insulates moisture and fixes the temperature. It looks extraordinarily precious.

As soon as he got his hands on it, Roy found that this was not an ordinary animal skin, but a black dragon skin.

Moreover, it is also the piece of skin located in the heart of the black dragon.

A dragon family, covered in scales. Thick scales, each two centimeters thick, extremely hard. Ordinary armed knights, even with their best efforts, can't cut a gap.

And the fatal point of the dragon clan, in addition to the root of the wings, eyes and lower yin, is only the position of the heart, and there is a small area vacated by the reverse growth of the dragon scales around it. There is no protection other than fur. And it goes straight to the heart. With a sword, even ordinary people can slay dragons.

This place is a forbidden area for dragons, so this piece of skin is also known as the dragon's taboo.

The dragon taboo, in addition to being the fatal point of the dragon, is also the dragon's hard work. The powerful dragon heart, every time it beats, it will absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth. From hatching to adulthood, the dragon's long life is fused with endless energy through the dragon's taboo and the dragon's blood in the heart. Gradually, this skin was nourished by the spiritual power of heaven and earth and dragon blood into a top-level magic material with great power.

However, this skin is not something that can be obtained casually.

You must know that such a thing as dragon slaying, even if it is a saint-level powerhouse, it is not something that can be done just by saying it.

Slaughtering a dragon is a great cost.

Except for the cursed mark that erupts on the dragon's body when the dragon is dying, it attracts the hostility of all the dragons. The process of the battle itself is thrilling.

In the face of the dragon's super defense and terrifying combat power, if there is a chance to penetrate the dragon's taboo with a sword, no one will hesitate.

Therefore, for thousands of years, there have been many dragons killed by human powerhouses. But very few people can get a complete copy of the Dragon Taboo.

"Rich!"

After making sure he was not mistaken, Roy screamed in his heart. A pair of eyes lit up as if he had found a magic stone on a hunting monster for the first time when he was a child.

A full Dragon Taboo is very expensive. If it was put at auction, Roy couldn't imagine how much money he could fetch at auction.

That's definitely a fortune that ordinary people can't squander for ten lifetimes.

However, for Roy, the meaning of this dragon skin is not here, but a life pattern that he has dreamed of for a long time - the Gathering Demon Star!

As the only magician in this world who has mastered the mysteries of life's magic patterns, Roy has been obsessed with this since he discovered the magical talent of the Demon Gathering Star in Kyrol and deconstructed the structure of his magic patterns.

Whether it's a knight or a magician. Whether it is the cultivation of Dou Qi Gong or meditation, in the final analysis, it is the transformation and application of the spiritual power of heaven and earth.

It's like eating, the more you eat, the more intense you exercise, the stronger and more powerful you are.

It's just that if you eat too much, you will hold on. The size of the stomach restricts food intake. And the spiritual power of heaven and earth. But no amount is too much. The cultivation of ordinary people, whether it is Dou Qi Gong or magic meditation. They are all slowly absorbed from the natural spiritual power of heaven and earth, and that feeling is like a thirsty traveler, licking the dew.

This is also the reason why people would rather endure the negative effects of toxicity and use the Reiki Pill to increase their cultivation speed. The process of refining the Spirit Power Pill by the pharmacist. It's the same as concentrating all the dew in one cup. Adding a drop at a time and taking a big sip are definitely two realms.

And Roy is particularly different in this regard.

When others looked at Roy, they already thought that his cultivation speed was incredibly fast. But only Roy himself knows that his potential is far from the peak. It can even be said that there is not even a tenth.

The reason is very simple, because of the judgment of this foodie, and also because of his own lack of bearing.

Although the heaven and earth energy that Roy had attracted when he was cultivating was very powerful, the energy required to rule this artifact was even more terrifying.

Especially after evolution, the ruling spirit has opened up its own space, and the demand for the spiritual power of heaven and earth is even stronger. Now it is simply a bottomless pit, no matter how much spiritual power is filled in, it will be absorbed completely, and it will not even bubble up.

Although Roy cultivates hard, he is not cultivating all the time, so the speed at which he absorbs the spiritual power of heaven and earth will be affected. The next evolution is not yet known in the distant future. Moreover, after leaving the Tower of Fantasy, the concentration of spiritual power dropped significantly. Now every time he meditates, Roy can feel the dissatisfaction of the Lord's spirit, a foodie.

And Roy's own endurance is also an important reason that restricts his cultivation speed.

If it weren't for the fact that every time he cultivated, the ruling main spirit had resisted the high-intensity impact of most of the heaven and earth energy, and only allocated the filtered spiritual power to Roy, I was afraid that his sea of consciousness and spiritual power would have been torn apart by the violent heaven and earth energy.

Therefore, whether for the sake of the ruling or for himself, Roy must find a way to overcome both problems.

And the Demon Star is the only way to solve these two problems.

In Roy's view, this talent is simply a gift from God to Carol.

Growing up, this girl who didn't have any elemental perception at all, didn't practice for a day, but she had a huge amount of magical power. It was the spiritual power of heaven and earth, which was automatically gathered into her through the talent of the Demon Gathering Star.

Whether it's eating or sleeping, studying or playing, she is like a natural humanoid gathering magic array, absorbing spiritual power all the time and naturally transforming it into magical power.

Such a talent, Roy dreamed of having.

However, the Demon Gathering Star's Life Pattern is not something that can be copied casually.

Unlike recovering his own fighting talent in a desperate situation, this is something that Roy himself does not have. Even if he dismantled himself and put it back together, he would not have gotten this talent.

Therefore, the only way to have the Gathering Star Life Demon Pattern is the Life Demon Costume.

The concept of life magic costume was coined by Roy himself.

Conceptually. The Life Suit and the Suit are the same. The only difference is that the magic pattern of the Demon Suit Battle Armor is engraved on the armor, while the magic pattern of the Life Formation is directly fused into the body.

Roy's idea, if known to the other magicians. I'm afraid that I will spit contemptuously and scold a whimsical layman.

You must know that the carrier of the magic pattern has extremely strict restrictions. Those who are engraved with the first-order Heavenly Transformation Demon Pattern need a six-star magic gold armor. Only the demonic guiding ability and bearing capacity of this armor can bear the power of the Heavenly Transformation Demon Pattern.

And how can the skin of the human body carry the magic pattern? Even if it is drawn, it is just a waste like a tattoo.

For Roy, though, this is not fanciful.

Because he not only holds the mystery of the magic pattern of life. Moreover, he also has a kind of magic that the world talks about - necromancy.

Austin, the great necromancer, has studied necromancy to the extreme in his long life. And all the results of his research are in his notes.

It's been almost two years since Roy got the notes. During this time, in addition to not daring to openly use undead magic, he had completely digested and absorbed the knowledge in the magic notes. Even in the gloomy world of the necromancer, Roy had this knowledge. He is also a master.

The idea of the Life Demon Costume is that he combines the Life Demon Pattern. After the traditional magic pattern and necromancy, the results of repeated tests.

And this result, the most critical material is this Dragon Taboo!

This dragon's taboo can not only carry the magic pattern of the Gathering Demon Star, but also. Because it has a special vitality that can directly fit with the skin of the human body.

With just a little necromancy, this piece of dragon skin can be completely integrated into the body.

At that time, Roy will not only have the same ability to absorb the energy of heaven and earth as Carol. Moreover, he can also have the ability of a giant dragon to continuously guide the energy of heaven and earth to wash over the flesh and enhance the power of the bloodline just by relying on the beating of his heart!

Despite trying very hard to restrain himself, Roy couldn't help but laugh. If it weren't for the tense situation, he would even want to rush back to Muni City now, lock himself up, and complete the idea of the life demon costume.

However, it is still the war that matters.

After carefully packing up the Dragon Taboo, Roy gave the order to go.

The team marched towards the Valley of Rocks.

Encountering the Ferray Griffin Knight and Layton means that this place has entered the war zone, and the army of the Ferrets may be encountered at any time. Therefore, Roy extended the Elven Ranger's reconnaissance line to ten kilometers away. In each area, there are two squads to protect each other. On the front of the team, four teams were dispatched.

Not only that, but Roy also released Oliver.

When Roy patted the fat dog on the head, whispered a few words in his ear, and then sent it into the jungle, everyone's eyes were a little strange.

It was the laziest dog they had ever seen.

On the way to Medin City with Roy from Muni City, the knights saw the fat dog lying on the floor of the carriage carriage more than once, panting with his tongue sticking out. The appearance of frowning and drooping eyes, it seems that raising the eyelids is a very hard work for it.

As for walking, everyone has never seen it before.

Sometimes when the malt gets out of the car to breathe, he wants to let it get out of the car together, and he also lies on the car with a dead face. Even when he came to the warm lake this time, this fat dog has been sitting on the butt of Malt's war horse.

That's an amazing feat. No matter whether the war horse is fast or slow, no matter how bumpy, this fat dog sits firmly.

After a long run, it leaned on the back of the malt to bask in the sun, and then slept on its back. Or try to use your short paws to dig out the food in the horse bag.

In short, in the eyes of the big guys, this dog is not even as good as a hunting dog. What can you do by letting it out?

Faced with everyone's puzzled and even playful eyes, Roy didn't explain.

Only he and Malt knew how terrifying Lord Oliver was for the demonic beasts in the mountains and forests.

In the past, in a desperate situation, Roy and Malt were able to survive countless high-level magical beasts, and most of the credit had to be attributed to the fat dog Oliver. Not only does this guy play dead, but he also has a pretending dragon's breath.

It's already good if the monster meets it and isn't scared to death on the spot.

Not to mention. After the transformation of the body by the dragon egg, although Oliver's combat effectiveness is not strong, he is a typical rough skin and thick flesh that cannot be killed.

With the hooves of the undead unicorn living treasure, with all his strength, even an earth-walking dragon will be broken. But Oliver provoked the living treasure all day long, and planned to plate around the living treasure's ass. The number of times he has been kicked away is not more than a hundred. But even if it flew far away, it just rolled and got up as if nothing happened. The skin is like a wild boar covered in thick soil.

With Oliver in front, no matter who it is, don't try to get close to this team silently. Including the other three griffon knights in Layton's mouth.

Roy's arrangement quickly paid off. Half an hour later, Miki came to Roy's side and reported the news of a Filie's army.

It was a team of more than a hundred knights and two hundred cavalry. They were seven kilometers south of their own, heading sideways towards the village of Firefox to the east.

Roy looked at the map.

From the map. The enemy and the enemy are about the same distance from the Valley of the Rocks. However, if your team picks up speed, it will be possible to block the enemy as they cross the Rocky Valley.

This battle will be the key to the whole battle. If you win, the game of fjord will be mobilized with this piece. If you lose.........

Roy's gaze was cast into the distance.

He knows. At this time, both the night canyon of Fano. Or Eugene in Muni City, has already gotten the news. At the same time, the net of the Phillips began to tighten.

This is a war from which there is no way back.

Behind him is the abyss. Take a step back, there are no dead bodies.

Under the gaze of the soldiers, Roy took a deep breath. In a deep voice, "Full speed ahead!"

.....................

As news of the Firean breakthrough through Fiordland spread, Lulian was in turmoil.

First and foremost is the northern part of the fjord.

Including the Warm Water Lake Fort, the Red Stone Gang Fort and the nearby military villages, villages and towns, all fell into panic. Local defenders and civilians. I can't believe that the fjord has been lost. And after the death of the top general of the fjord defenders, the highest-ranking officer in the entire region was Mr. Todd, the second rank guard stationed at Warm Lake Fort.

The specialty of this just knight is logistical supply. More than a year since the outbreak of the war, he has not taken part in a battle.

And now, the heavy responsibility of regional defense has suddenly fallen on his shoulders.

After receiving information from the defeated soldiers and refugees who had fled to Fort Warm Lake, Todd arranged for men to call for help from the cities of Medin and Muni, and at the same time sent people to contact other nearby villages and military villages, and to search for the defeated soldiers and civilians who had fled to this side.

Twenty knights under his command, more than eighty soldiers, all mobilized. The people of the castle were all ready for battle. A large number of rolling stones, logs and arrows were carried up the walls. Under the wall, large cauldrons are lined up, and firewood is piled up underneath, and the pots are filled with oil. But when the Phreelites came, they lit a fire and poured it on their heads.

However, a qiē arrangement could not bring Todd the slightest sense of security.

As soon as the busy people and soldiers raised their heads, they could see the pale face of the chief, standing on the city wall and pretending to be calm.

Everyone knows that this preparation is just Liao's exhaustion.

In fact, by the time the Philae soldiers approached the city, the Warm Water Lake Fort would not be able to hold even a single prayer hour.

........................

At the same time, the cities of Medin and Muni in the rear, Fano on the front, the Momiji Knights on the left flank, and the Twelfth Legion on the right flank were all in chaos and chaos.

The cities of Medin and Mooney have already sent troops. Both the generals and the soldiers were anxious.

In particular, General Eugene of Muni City was almost completely unprepared for the coalition forces, and pulled a force to rush to the fjord. As for the follow-up troops, they can't take care of the food and grass logistics.

And the front line is also in a hurry.

After receiving Roy's analysis report from Medin City, Fano and Philip, the young commander of the Red Leaf Knights who hurried to the Chinese army, Qiu Shanhai, the commander of the 12th Legion, and dozens of middle and senior officers of the army, locked themselves in the conference room to urgently study countermeasures.

But on the two plans of whether to continue to march into the Night Canyon or turn the spearhead and rush to Fjord Town, everyone has their own opinions and quarrels.

The generals who supported the march into the Night Canyon believed that they had not been able to see through the other side's attempts before the Firete plan was launched. Well, it's too late to turn around and reinforce Fjord Town. Fjordtown's defenses couldn't have lasted that long. And the main force is now turning around, not only can it only be led by the nose of the Firetes, but it may also be flanked by the Firean army in the two directions of Night Canyon and Fiordland.

When the time comes. Not only could they not recapture Fiordland, but they also gave up the rescue of Archduke Adolf, and even the last main force of Lulian could be wiped out.

Rather than that, it is better to take advantage of the relatively small number of Fei Lie troops in the Night Canyon now and fight to the death. Rescue the Grand Duke first, and then return to the city of Medin, relying on this forward base, which has lost the supply of Muni City and the north, but still has a certain amount of grain and grass stocks. Attack the fjord and reopen the passage to Muni City.

The generals who supported the immediate return of troops to reinforce Fiordland believed that although there were fewer Firet troops in the Night Gorge than before, they were enough to engage in a major battle with their own troops. Once the battle breaks out, it is not something that can be ended in a short time. Not to mention winning or losing, just this period of time alone was enough for the Filiet army to completely control the fjord and advance into the heart of Lulian.

It would be a knife to your heart. to the northeast. They could attack the city of Muni, to the west. They can attack the city of Medin. Perhaps, the battle of Night Canyon is not over yet, and the city of Medin in the rear has already been occupied by the Ferrets. By that time, this army will be the same as the current Grand Duke Adolf. Be a fish in the net.

Both sides have their own reasons. But no matter how much they quarreled, everyone knew that this time it was an existential crisis.

The deeper this understanding, the more people admired and worried about the boy who saw Fei Li's plan. They had already heard that at the first time they discovered the plans of the Firetes. Roy has split up with the Yankers of Medin City to reinforce Warm Water Lake and Redstone Hills.

Yank is okay, after all, he is in command of the remaining troops in Medin City, and if he only fights for Redstone Ridge alone, he will have the strength to fight.

But Roy only had two hundred cavalry, ten long knights and dozens of rookie cadets. Such a small person, if he wants to compete with the Filie Army for the warm water lake, it is simply looking for death.

Although they are on the front line, many people's hearts have flown to the fjord. They wanted to get this clever and confused boy back and beat him up.

Everyone knew that Roy was fighting for his own people, for Solan, and for Lurian. He wanted to keep the fjord, he wanted to leave a way out for this army. But the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable everyone felt in their hearts.

Looking back on the past, everyone suddenly realized that this black-haired boy had unknowingly done too much for Lulian. The reversal under the city of Medin, behind the scenes of the rebellion in the city of Muni...... This little handyman from Bollabel is being born in a low-key way. Compared with him, the star students of the three major training camps are overshadowed.

With such a material, the future achievements are limitless. If this is wasted in Fjordtown, it will be a loss for the entire empire!

"General Karenich, what do you think?"

In the cloudy conference room, Fano's voice broke the oppressive atmosphere.

As Fano looked, everyone focused on Karenic, who had been standing silently by the map.

Everyone knows that Karenic came to the army as a staff officer on the day Fano ordered the attack on Night Canyon and gave advice to Fano. In the past few days, the reason why Solan's army has been able to repeatedly defeat the Filie's army that is blocking the way of progress is that Karenich's on-the-spot command is a great credit.

It can be said that in this coalition army, Karenic is the real core. Even Fano was obedient to him.

And everyone has also heard that this former imperial famous general who has disappeared from the vision of the empire's top brassers for many years is now one of Roy's followers. A former Imperial general, following a civilian handyman. It sounds like a fantasy. But the facts are really in front of them, so everyone has to be curious about Roy, and a few points higher.

In the eyes of everyone, Karenic was silent for a long time.

To be honest, the situation has changed beyond what he and Percy had expected. He was more worried about Roy's safety than anyone else present. But.......

"We continue to attack Night Canyon. Karenic was categorical.

"What?"

The generals couldn't believe their ears. From the standpoint, Karenic should have hurried to the fjord to rescue Roy.

"I understand the young master," Karenic said calmly in the face of everyone's confused eyes, "he is definitely not a reckless and impulsive person who casually puts everyone around him in danger. I trust him and am proud of his choice. I believe that whether he can hold on to the lake or not, what he has done is the right decision!"

"And attacking the Night Canyon is the most important part of the plan to save Grand Duke Adolf," Karenich looked around, "We have no other choice. ”

"But, in case Roy ......," Fano swallowed the last half of the ominous words worriedly.

"There has never been a war of the undead in this world," Karenich said, "and since you have chosen to become a knight, you must shoulder the mission and responsibility of a knight." Including the young master, too. If anything really happens to him, I will spend the rest of my life avenging him. And now, all I need to do is not let his efforts go to waste!"

In the conference room, there was silence.

After half a prayer hour, the meeting ended. With a loud horn sounding through the barracks, tens of thousands of Solan soldiers who were waiting for them finally waited for the final order.

March to the Night Canyon!

Fight to the death!...... (To be continued......)
