Chapter 41: The Last Elite
To the west of the Secret Forest.
"Andrey, Andre!" the man leaning against the tree hurriedly ran to help him when he saw him.
"Arnold, I'm fine, it's just that I've lost a lot of blood, let me sit down first..."Andre was weak, sitting on the ground panting, "We'll go back later, we must not tell the patriarch about this operation... Things have gotten out of hand..."
"Let me treat you first. Arnold pressed his hands against Andrei's wound, and in a moment his hand turned into bark, wrapping Andrei's entire arm tightly around it, and then emitting a faint green light.
"Why don't you let me go with you, Beth?" Arnold asked, healing. He is not ranked, he is a non-combat type Iskar.
"Beth—" Andre's mouth twitched, as if he didn't know where to start, "Beth... Beth, she's dead. ”
"Dead?" Arnold stopped his treatment, "How could it be, who killed her!"
"You don't have to worry about that. Andrei shook his head.
"It's all you, acting on your own, you know Beth will follow you!" Arnold said indignantly.
"Give me treatment, it's an order. Andre's pupils darkened, and his tone instantly became much colder.
"Unless you tell me the cause of Beth's death! and the purpose of your visit!" Arnold still refused.
"Cheap Iskar—" Andrei's voice distorted, and he reached through Arnold's body as he stretched out his hand.
"You... You're not Andrey ... Who the hell are you..."Arnold's hand slipped across Andrei's face, and in those blackened pupils he saw another monster hiding in the depths of his soul.
......
"Did I kill someone?" Evan rubbed the corners of his clothes uncomfortably, his facial muscles stiffened, a sign of nervousness. He remembered the murderers who were hanged by the lord, who would eventually be thrown into the sea, and would be left to stench for thousands of years in the sound of spitting.
"It's not your fault, it's the Night Charm's spell that makes you extremely repulsive towards Iskar. Kritolanf comforted.
"Spell Pattern—" Evan seemed to remember something, flipping his palm and observing it both sides and upwards. The hand was still the same as before, and there was no change, but it made an inexplicable fear in his heart.
"Relax, kid, don't be too burdened, I can feel that the sword chose you, not you. Benedict patted Evan on the shoulder and said.
"The crescent... No... Nightshade, it chose me..."Evan remembered the woman in his dream. He has lost the night charm, but he still retains a connection with that dream.
Should I tell them everything about the dream, will they believe me, will I help the woman, or will I put her in greater danger?Evan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, when did he become so suspicious.
"Looks like it's time to tell you something about that sword. Krilan sighed, he had planned to hide it for a while, but he didn't expect to attract so many pretenders.
"There's nothing else you're hiding from us, get honest with us!" Leah patted Kridolanf's red nose in displeasure.
"Ahh Not... It's something about the Night Charm... In the Second Age, the people of Silver Shield City commissioned Thanatos to forge the Night Charm. Krildolanv rubbed his nose helplessly and paused, "It's only been involved in one battle. ”
"What fighting?" asked Aven.
"The Battle of Iron Rock is designed to deal with the invaders from the Relic Forest, Iskar. Rubbing his red nose, Kridolanv continued, "Since then, the Night Phantom has disappeared, and all records have disappeared with it, so that we know very little about it in the Third Age. As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the dark clouds over Ketland again, and the situation seemed to get worse.
"How is Aurora's injury now, can we still get the Night Charm back?" The woman in the dream, whether she was dead or alive, who she was, these were all knots wrapped around Aven's heart.
"In the vessel, the tracking beast in its immaterial state will speed up the healing of wounds, but now it has only been a few days, and it depends on whether the aurora is willing or not. Kridolanff wiped his cigarette gun, "The situation in Ktland has deteriorated, we are still a long way from Silver Shield City, we need to hurry up. ”
"Recapture the Night Charm, and let's set off for Silver Shield City together. Aven's tone was firm, without the slightest hesitation, "Kerry Dolanf, I need your help. ”
"Then I'll join you too, our destination is the same, both are Silver Shield City, and now the plants in the secret forest are a natural herb vault for me, maybe I can help you a little in return for lifting the curse." Benedict put his arm around Aven's shoulders and said with a smile, looking like Aven's brother.
"Aven, how did I notice that your personality has changed a little. Leah laughed.
"Huh, is there one?" Evan scratched his head.
"It seemed to be a little handsome. Leah squinted and gestured mischievously with her fingers.
......
Ketlan in the night rain.
"Let's go inside!" "Please, my lord!" Outside the walls of the noble district, hundreds of thousands of civilians gathered more and more under the walls. The guards acting as the defensive line could not support the huge pressure, some were directly trampled under the feet of the crowd, and some were even knocked unconscious directly by snatching weapons, and the scene became more and more chaotic.
"My lord, do you want our guards to retreat into the city?" On the city wall, the city guard stood beside the military officer Slip, and asked in a low voice, the guards who acted as the separation line also dispatched nearly two thousand people, but for now, it was no different from the mantis arm as a car.
"Hundreds of thousands of civilians, hundreds of thousands! a whole area of civilians in the East!" Slip looked at the army of Tanatos on the wall at the end of the horizon, his palms sweating. He understood what would happen if the gates were opened again, and he also understood what would happen if he continued to leave the guards out of the city.
He looked at the palatial buildings of the aristocratic district behind him and the fat bodies of the nobles, and fell into deep thought. He did not have any prejudice against the nobles, but once the aristocratic district fell, then the royal district and the core of the entire country would also collapse (the walls on the periphery of the royal district were decorative, so they were much inferior to the walls of other districts in terms of defense coefficient).
"Could it be that the riots and panic of the civilians are also in their calculations..."Slip frowned, the side effects of peacetime had now been exposed, and panic, fear, and fear would be the deadly weapons that would kill people who were too comfortable once they were attacked by war.
The soldiers on the city walls were silent, but they also knew in their hearts the odds of winning this battle, and if there was no way out, they could only fight to the death.
"O my people!" said Cutland, who suddenly echoed the voice of Wells IV, and the restless civilians beneath the walls fell silent.
"Your Majesty?" Slip turned and saw Wells IV in the distance. At this time, he put his hand on the giant sound transmission crystal in the tower at the top of the royal castle, and was quietly looking down on the entire city.
The neighing of horses and the sound of neat footsteps resounded in the aristocratic quarters.
"This is the last elite team of Nozer... Your Majesty has finally made a decision? Slip wiped the blood from his face. He was not mistaken, the gate of the royal district was open at this time, and there were teams of Nozer heavy horses walking out side by side, which was extremely spectacular.
"For the sake of Cortran, and for the glory of Nozer, I, Wells IV, will defend the last dignity of the royal family to protect this city, this country!"
"The heavy knights obey!" roared Wells IV.
"Ho!" the knights' swords struck on the breastplate in a crisp and powerful response.
"Open the gates!! kill !!!"
