Chapter 288: Absolute Path

Two gray wisps of dust and smoke on the golden desert pulled out two parallel arcs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThis is the trace of the two sand sharks speeding in the sea of sand at high speed. On each of them carried a young male knight on their backs, dressed in uniform white armor, as white as the surface of the snow that had been deposited. This paint minimizes the armor's ability to absorb heat, and is designed to be used for long periods of time in the desert with strong light. Such armor indicates the belonging of the two knights, the garrison officers of the Mirage Desert.

As the sharks galloped, their faces were full of anxiety. They are being invaded, which means that not a single village but the entire mirage desert is being attacked by the enemy.

And their enemies, that is a group of ferocious monsters, wolf-headed human bodies, with an average height of 2 meters, some even reaching 3 or 4 meters, with rickety bodies and slender limbs, but they are unexpectedly powerful, like an adult-sized weapon that can be easily wielded all day.

They devour their blood and come in droves like locusts that sweep across the land, leaving nothing behind. No village or town can withstand their attacks alone, and even the power of the entire Mirage Desert is only a drop in the bucket.

In the face of this sudden disaster, it may be the forces of the entire southern continent that must be united. This is exactly the mission of the two knights.

They were to go east, starting from Hauhaka, and inform the districts one by one, asking for their reinforcements. The situation cannot be delayed.

But it was too late.

"Bang!"

A bang struck one of the knights, and his gallop came to an abrupt halt. The other knight immediately grabbed the reins, and the sand shark he had sat on sprang out of the sand.

The knight looked back to check on his companions, but saw only a sand shark that had lost its rider, and a handful of scattered light shards.

They have been raided, and his partner has been killed.

Realizing this, the knight immediately looked around. At the top of the sand dunes not far away, he saw several tall black figures, none other than those werewolf-type ferocious monsters. He thought there were only a few, but soon they were popping up one after another from all directions. Not a small team, but a whole army.

"How so!"

The knight was amazed. Apparently these monsters not only have brute strength, but also intelligence, and at least have a wise supreme commander.

They didn't directly attack the pyramid city in front of them, but instead cut off the city's main road to the east first.

Seeing that it was impossible to move on, the knight immediately pulled the reins. The sand shark he sat down quickly turned around and plunged into the sea of sand, flying away from the monster.

"Whew!"

The monsters roared and immediately gave chase, but they were clearly not as fast as the sand sharks. The knight glanced back and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that it was such a scene, but he didn't know that now was the most dangerous time.

A werewolf, who was significantly taller than its kind, violently pushed its kind up the sand dunes on the south side, and kicked the guy who occupied the highest point.

"Whew!"

The uninteresting guy was kicked down the dunes mercilessly, and the big man took his place, standing on the highest point and staring sharply at the fleeing knight. Immediately, he began to shake what he was holding in his right hand.

It was a meteor hammer the size of a sand shark's skull, and it gradually spun in a circular motion with the big man's arms and wrists, spinning faster and faster, and emitting a blood-red light—a sign that some kind of skill was activated.

At the height of the light, the large werewolf threw the Meteor Hammer out of his hands and towards the fleeing knight, striking the red heart in an instant.

"Bang!"

Under the heavy blow, the knight shattered into powder in an instant, and he didn't even have time to let out a wail.

"Ahh

The big werewolf raised his arms and shouted, as if to say, "See, I hit!" and the dwarf fellow beside him also screamed.

"Whew!"

A louder roar drowned out the cheers from the south, and a werewolf a head taller than the big man climbed to the top of the northern dunes. He took a step forward as he swung the two-headed Moonblade Halberd he held in his right hand.

Seeing this, all the werewolves, including the big man, immediately took action. They scrambled over the sand ridge and rushed out in the direction the leader had pointed out. At the end of that lies the Pyramid City, one of the ten main cities.

Now, the desert's capital is in turmoil, and the swarming of refugees brings news of terrifying monsters that detonate a great panic. Immediately, people began to frantically flock to the teleportation crystal on the twelfth floor, intending to escape the city that was in danger, blocking the fifth floor and above. This has been going on for several days now. There is no way, there are too many people, and the work of the teleportation stone requires a process, and there is a limit to the number of people who can be transmitted at one time.

"It seems that this battle is inevitable. ”

The commander of the garrison on the eastern city wall sighed as he looked at the chaos on the upper floors.

"Sir!"

The soldier's voice rang out behind the commander-in-chief.

Could it be that a monster is coming!

Nervously and quickly turned behind him, the commander realized that it was a false shock. But he wasn't without something to worry about. Two streaks of smoke and dust clinging to the ground were approaching at high speed. Seeing this, the soldiers who were guarding the city wall immediately became nervous.

"Bang!"

Under the city gate, two things that raised sand and dust came out from under the sand to reveal their true faces—two sand sharks. They made a distinctive cry that looked like a plea at the gates, as if begging for the gates to be opened.

"They seem to be the two heads that Damas and Yaniga rode out, and how did they come back on their own. ”

As the soldier asked, he already had a guess in his head. The commander-in-chief knew this.

"Hmm. ”

He let out a heavy gasp with a gloomy face, and then ordered, "Go and tell the lord about this!"

"Yes!" replied loudly, and the soldier sprang into action.

The regional political system of the southern continent is different, and there is also a dualistic system in terms of leadership, that is, the internal affairs and the armed forces have their own leaders; There is also a monistic system, that is, the integration of military and government, in which case it is usually a lord.

This is the case in the Mirage Desert, where the regional lord is also the lord of Pyramid City, and his name is Caldin, a mature and funny man.

He was at this time in the temporary command post of the first level of the pyramid, gathering the commanders of the various garrison units for a military meeting.

At this moment, the soldier in charge of the herald hurried to the requisitioned hotel. He took the initiative to stop before being stopped by the guards, saluted and shouted, "Report!"

Hearing the call, Lord Caldin paused behind the sandbox map. He glanced up and commanded.

"Come in!"

"Yes!" the sergeant boldly strode into the hall with permission, stopping at the door without going too far.

"Just now, two sand sharks appeared outside the city, suspected to be ridden by the heralds dispatched!"

Hearing this, Cardin frowned, but did not speak. He looked down at the sand table and waved his hand, signaling for the soldier to leave.

Silence lasted for a moment, and then the lord finally spoke.

"Alas. The chaotic situation, with only about half a month of logistics, is now the road to the east is cut off. Can't there be good news?"

"At the very least, we have plenty of troops. A commander said.

"That's because you've abandoned the defense zone and retreated here. And it looks like someone will come. ”

Cardin said depressedly. His words made the commanders look ashamed, but it wasn't because they were cowards.

"We're sorry, Your Excellency. If possible, we don't want to break the rules and give up the land. However, the enemy is too strong and too many. Only this pyramid city with its tall and thick walls could withstand those monsters. ”

"I know, but it's exactly what you say. They are too powerful and too much. The walls and we are not enough. ”

"Well, you need our help!"

A loud and confident voice reached Caldin's ears.
