Chapter 519: The Village is gone
Skaha vividly taught the general who had no name until his death a lesson never to trust the promises given by the enemy.
Especially this enemy is still a woman who stands out in the chaotic times, knocking on the blackboard and marking the key points, this is a witch, who was once the queen of the Shadow Country and the master of Cú Chulainn.
Some people were stupid enough to believe her assurance, so the general didn't even understand why he was so unlucky when he died.
After Skaha and Achilles disposed of the general's body, they sneaked into the city at night.
It is impossible for the vigilant sentinels on the city wall to detect the two of them, and the masters of the earth knight level under Jerome are pitiful, only two, of course, it is impossible to put them on the city wall to guard the assassins.
After entering the city, the two of them realized that what kind of city was this, it had clearly become a huge military camp.
In other words, Jerome moved all the civilians in the city for this war, leaving only a large number of troops stationed.
Cities that are already close to the hinterland are like this, and you can imagine what the frontline cities are like.
"Labor and money, I didn't expect this Jerome to be so spicy and decisive at a young age. "Skaha is an idle person, and he couldn't help but speak after seeing this scene of slaughter.
Moving the inhabitants of a large city is no small task, and the human and material resources required are unimaginable, and not everyone is willing to leave their homeland.
It is not known how many tragedies have occurred.
Achilles didn't think so much, he saw more that this army was neat and well-trained, and his eyes were full of war.
Once this kind of army is put into the battlefield, it is a group of soldiers who are not afraid of death and are willing to give their lives for the monarch, as for the civilians...... What is common people in the face of the great cause of the country?
So Achilles said indifferently: "This is not what we need to care about, our task is to find the mysterious sky powerhouse and then kill him." ”
Skaha just said casually, and she didn't necessarily take what happened to these people to heart, so she shrugged: "Okay. ”
Then the two of them moved quickly towards a tall building, which was the most heavily guarded, except for a dozen or so heavily armed soldiers patrolling back and forth without stopping, and even a few grand knights standing on the roof to act as guards.
It is impossible not to notice such an obvious feature unless they are both blind.
"I'll go over first and see if I can lure the strong man out, Achilles, you go and wait outside the city. As she got closer and closer to the building, Skaha's eyes lit up, and she felt a powerful aura in the building, and it was a little undulating.
Well, mood swings are great.
"Stay safe. Achilles nodded coldly, since the goal has been determined, there is no need for two people to go together.
After saying that, he turned around and moved out of the city without hesitation, in terms of speed, he was not comparable to Skaha, so if there was any accident, she had the ability to leave calmly, and she couldn't do it so easily.
At this moment, Sheila, the target of the two of them, was furious at Jerome, who was able to provoke a mild-mannered dryad to such an extent, and it was not known what Jerome had done.
"Jerome, I know Nora is here, please give her to me at once!" Sheila's handsome face was full of anger.
When she was in her room yesterday, she suddenly felt a flash of breath from the ancient tree of war, and she thought that she was too concerned about her hometown and had a delusion, so she didn't take it to heart.
But today she felt the breath again in Jerome's dwelling, and she was not at ease, for only she and Nora had ever been blessed by the ancient tree.
In other words, Nora came to the city for some unknown reason, and it is likely that she is living in Jerome's place!
So she couldn't help but run over and question, but Jerome was no longer the immature young man he was when he was just hot-blooded.
He was very keenly aware that the identity of the elven beauty who was sent as a gift by his nobles was not simple, although he didn't know how Sheila noticed her existence, but he just gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.
Now that Sheila, an elven beauty, has a request for herself, and she was hunted down by the Ludian Empire at the beginning, and it was she who saved her life, can she still turn her face with herself because of an unfounded guess?
And maybe he could control this tree elf powerhouse through that elf.
It's just that what the young Jerome didn't expect was that Sheila was not an unfounded guess, but that she had already made up her mind in her heart.
The Dryads don't advocate contact with outside civilizations, so Nora should have stayed in the Dryad's village all the time, and was also protected by the War Ancient Tree, so it was impossible for her to be out of the Taron Mountains for no reason.
It is even more impossible to run thousands of miles away to the Ludian Empire to find him.
Therefore, a very terrifying speculation gradually surfaced in her mind, and there was something wrong with the Dryad clan!
So she is very anxious now, in case she is forced to be anxious, she can only ignore her bottom line and do it to her benefactor.
Even if there are more than 100,000 troops stationed outside, it is very likely that she will not be able to escape after the move, but the anxious Sheila can no longer care about so much.
"Let me see her!!"
In the end, seeing that Jerome had been sloppy with herself, Sheila finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the surging natural energy exploded, but it was not aimed at Jerome, otherwise he would have fainted.
But just like that, he felt like he was being pressed against a boulder in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe.
And Skaha, who had just approached here, was almost frightened by this energy, but fortunately she found out in time that this energy was not aimed at herself, otherwise it would have been really big.
Although the terrifying pressure was shrouded in his heart, Jerome still looked at Sheila calmly, he was no longer the Jerome he used to be, he was even much stronger than Jason just by looking at the power, and what he lacked was only top-notch combat power.
The two confronted each other for a long time without giving in, and then Jerome slowly spoke with a gloomy face: "That elf is in the basement, you can go find her yourself." ”
As soon as the words fell, Sheila's figure was lost in front of him.
Then Jerome's fists clenched, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, as if he had faced Jason in the first place.
Even if she saved Sheila's life, she still won't listen to her request in the face of disagreements, and she doesn't care about the identity and dignity of her heir to a country.
"Strength, strength, I need strength!"
Jerome had bruises on his forehead, he was actually very uneasy now, he was afraid that Jason would come to settle accounts with him, and he was afraid of Emperor Ludian, he didn't have the slightest sense of security.
By this time, Sheila had already arrived in the basement, and the guards who stood in her way were knocked unconscious by her.
Then I pushed open the door and saw Nora sitting weakly on the bed with a pale face and dull eyes, and she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her in her arms: "Nora, my sister! What's wrong with you?!"
At the same time, there was resentment in her eyes, and she mistakenly thought that Jerome had done something bad to Nora.
Hearing Sheila's voice, Nora slowly turned her head, and the moment she saw her, a pair of big eyes were instantly filled with mist: "Sister Sheila, am I dreaming?"
"No, no, you're not dreaming, it's me, I'm Sheila, you're safe now!"
But what I didn't expect was that after hearing Sheila's words, Nora not only did not calm down, but became more emotional.
She suddenly couldn't help crying: "Sister Sheila, the village, it's gone, everyone is dead!!"
