"Why don't we just rush over?" said Marcus and the others crouched quietly in the grass near the test field. As early as before the sun went down, they relied on Bard's ability to take a shortcut to get here.

"Don't rush, just watch a little longer. "Baird, who is crouched at the front, is calm and perfectly embodies the good mental qualities of a bounty hunter. Now that the goal has been found, it is necessary to maintain your advantage and look for opportunities to expand it.

Baird estimated the combat power, he was just able to suppress Kerry Dolanv who couldn't summon the giant eagle head-on, Eluman and Marcus They should be more than enough to deal with these two imps, the only variable is this unknown "human", if he has the ability to turn back into a giant ape, then the good situation is likely to be sent away in vain.

In the test field, the naked man stood motionless until the light on his body faded and he slowly turned around.

"Thank you for helping me. The man spoke fluent standard Continental, "My name is Benedict, and I'm a bachelor from Silver Shield City. ”

"Bachelor of Silver Shield City!" Exclaimed Aven, "No, how did you become like this?"

"It was my mentor, Auston, who cast the curse on me—" Benedict took the shirt and trousers handed him by Kledoranff, and continued with some embarrassment. Auston is ostensibly a bachelor in Silver Shield City, but he is behind the scenes using the results of the Five Witches to study various forbidden spell patterns, I was exploring in the Kui Mountain of the Secret Forest, and discovered his secret by chance, and was about to expose him when he saw through it, in the process of escaping, I unfortunately fell under his curse, and after all, I was unable to leave this forest. ”

"Auston, I have heard of it, it seems to be a figure from the First Age, it seems to be long gone," Kridolanff recalled thoughtfully.

"The First Age, isn't it the First Age now?" Benedict wondered.

"It's the Third Age now. Evan and Leah said in unison.

"Third Age! Oh my God, I've been here for so long!" Benedict patted his head helplessly, "I can only retain a little wisdom as a giant ape, I have no concept of time for a long time, and as for the name Adam, I think Auston gave it to me in the first place in order to make me lose myself completely." ”

"Why didn't he just kill you? Why go to such trouble to make you look like this?" asked Kledoranff.

"The bachelor in the Silver Shield City compilation, that is, the person with the Silver Shield Brand on his body, if someone is in an unnatural death state, the school city will be the first to perceive it. Benedict turned, revealing the palm-sized silver shield mark on his back, the symbol of the school.

"Then how did you come up with the idea of using dragon scales and hippos... Hippopotamus's butt meat to break the curse?" Evan was a little speechless at the ingredients for the curse.

"In fact, the most critical material is dragon scales, hippopotamus meat is secondary, I used to study in the school city (inside Silver Shield City, the highest university on the Tansfog continent) in the direction of purification and spell resolution, dragon scales are an excellent curse relief material, especially to deal with this dark and vicious curse..." Benedict pondered, he seemed to recall the good old days when he studied in the school city, but so many years have passed since now, and his peers must have gone to the loess, but fortunately he used a special method to retain some of his memories before he was cursed, otherwise he might really become a crazy giant ape forever.

"That dragon, that blind dragon, how did it live here?" If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Evan wouldn't have believed that there really were dragons in this world. It was a legendary creature, but it didn't expect it to be the same as the bard had said - huge wings, hard scales, and mouths that could shoot out fiery flames.

"I came much earlier than it, the dragon was entrenched here later, to be precise, it should have been injured and hiding here, but it also opened up new possibilities for my ability to unravel the spell, as you can see, I have conducted countless experiments with various materials in this test field... I'm sorry to drive you into its cavern, though, and I now formally apologize to you. Benedict leaned forward slightly, apologizing.

"Is there a creature more terrifying than a dragon out there?" Evan was taken aback, just remembering the scene in the dragon's den made his heart palpitate.

"It's... I don't know... When it came, its eyes were so badly injured that it was completely blind. Benedict suddenly thought of something, "No, if it's the Third Age, it means that there are two Guardians already..."

"Well, the first Aegis Guardian Altinis Moon Shadow died in the Battle of the Black Swamp, the second Guardian Eurynome Shield died in the Battle of Iron Rock City, and the current Guardian is Hera Scorching Rain. Krildolanv nodded.

"Has Eurynome become the second Guardian? Benedict remembered something and smiled, "She was full of wisdom at a young age, and she didn't expect to inherit such a great career when she grew up..."

There was a lively conversation here, but there was silence on the other side of the grass.

"Chief, what are they talking about?" the bald head dug into the earwax and stuck his ears out as much as he could.

"You ask me, how do I know! Why don't you just cut off your ears and throw them over and listen!" said Marcas, impatiently, wondering more than bald what was going on over there. He didn't understand why Baird was stopping them, if he was planning to take the sword for his own sake...

"Almost, he can't change back like this, and the curse should be completely lifted. Baird said as he unloaded the fishing net from his waist.

"There are two guys on the other side peeping," Bard, who was lying on Eluman's shoulder, seemed awkward when he said the word "guy," and was closing in on the group. ”

"Oh. Baird squinted and withdrew the net, and it seemed that it would take some time to regain control of the situation, and patience was especially important at this time.

......

The capital of Noze, the eastern city wall of Cutland, was on fire.

"Steady!" the city protector quickly calmed down, raised his sword and shouted, "Think of your family and friends behind you!"

"Ahh With a muffled snort, the shield hand clutched his neck, blood gushed from his mouth, and he died on the spot, and the dead body finally stopped moving after being unloaded into dozens of pieces.

"Be careful! It's the Plague Sword Alpha that sets up the formation!The people who have been killed will also be ** controlled!" The city protector remembered something, but it was too late, and the shieldman who had just fallen to the ground suddenly turned sideways and plunged the short sword into the body of his former comrade on the side.

The scene suddenly became more and more chaotic, and soon it was out of control. Taking advantage of the chaos, hundreds of corpses managed to climb the city walls again. They were like tigers entering a flock, and in an instant, many archers who were not good at close combat were killed.

"Woo-" A low, loud trumpet sounded from outside the city.

"Huo!" "Huo!" A rhythmic voice came, and dozens of siege ladders and several siege towers suddenly appeared from the shadows of the night.

"Siege Towers! Gather fire for the Siege Towers!" the Guardian gave orders as he desperately resisted the attack of the corpses, but the archers on the walls were exhausted and unskilled.

"Prepare for the counterattack of the city!" the city guard shouted at the city again, but due to the attack of the wooden object just now, the destruction under the city wall was also a mess, and all the equipment was still in a state of intense repair.

Oops, if we continue like this, the eastern wall will be lost!" The Protector could no longer tell whether it was sweat or rain, and the only thing he could do now was to delay as much time as possible.

"The Silver Guards are coming to help!" a Silver Armor Bannerman, who had just arrived at the city wall, jumped up and slammed the silver battle flag in his hand into the ground.

"Kill!" The battle flag entered the ground, and it tore open a different space, and the silver-armored knight Manken and the silver-armored group jumped out of the space one after another, and hundreds of warriors in silver armor instantly appeared on the city wall, they were wearing silver cloaks, their eyes were full of anger, or holding silver battle axes, or using silver swords and shields, shining with a faint silver light under the reflection of the firelight, looking solemn and solemn, and extremely combative. In addition, their weapons are inlaid with fine spars, which greatly improves their combat capabilities (the production of spars is not high, and the best hedrons are even rarer, so generally only the elite guards of the big countries have the financial resources to equip this weapon).

"Silver Guard!" the surrounding soldiers let out a few exclamations. This is not a scene that can be easily seen in ordinary times, and if it were not for the national crisis, the Silver Armor Guards would not be easily dispatched.

"Kill all these aliens for me!" the knight chief Manken shouted angrily and took the lead in rushing into the chaotic crowd, followed by the silver armor behind him, dozens of dead bodies were cut into several pieces when the knife fell, and the corpses were all turned to ashes before falling to the ground, without the slightest possibility of regeneration.

"Bearded, siege towers!" Manken yelled to the bearded silver-armored warrior beside him.

"Fuck your uncle!" the bearded man dragged a large iron ball with a diameter of one meter in both hands, and after a few spins, he shook it out.

"Boom!" the wooden siege tower met the big iron ball, and it fell apart in an instant.

The situation on the scene soon turned around.

"Silver Guards—" Alpha outside the city walls slowly raised his head, and then his body began to tremble violently, and after a metallic sound, his empty eyes began to emit a trace of black gas.

The black gas became thicker and thicker, and a blood crow flew out of the air mass with a "Ah".

"It's time for them to feel like hell!" the Blood Raven screamed, slamming his head into the black sword, dark red blood splattering all over the blade.

Before the blood could solidify, it fused with the black sword, and white smoke came out, and the sword became hot.

"Ah!!h

A powerful air flow erupted from the cracks in the earth's surface, and the spell array, which was only more than ten meters, instantly expanded to a width of thousands of meters, and blood-colored lightning swept through the sky, and it turned to rain blood. Immediately after, the moat, which was several meters deep, evaporated instantly, and there seemed to be some lifeform buried under the soft mud bed at the bottom of the river, which was squirming violently at the moment.

"This, this is! impossible!!How is this possible!!" Manken watched in horror as he watched the changes in the moat beneath the walls. This is not because of the anomaly of the river drying up, but because tens of thousands of skeletons and corpses are crawling out of the mud!) There were tens of thousands of casualties on both sides, and the city wall in the middle was the main battlefield. After the war, they were buried under the moat and gradually forgotten by history due to the accumulation of corpses that could not be handled. ）

Tiny sand and gravel flowed down the skeleton of the dead body. These skeletons were dressed in tattered old battle suits, holding rusty swords and shields, and some even rode skeletal horses, carrying spears and spears, and with battle flags on their backs, emitting a faint green light at the bottom of the river.

And the national emblem on the battle flag is faintly visible, and it is actually the iconic national emblem of Serdia: the horseshoe mark!
