Chapter 079: War No. 10
When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a pair of crimson eyes and an endless stream of evil fire dancing inside. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A monstrous force enveloped me, and I heard the bare teeth behind me chatter, and I fell to my knees with a thud, and I heard Nsraeser's breathing quicken, like a broken old bellows. But I did not feel any discomfort in the midst of this monstrous pressure, on the contrary, there was a kind of harmony and familiarity like a fish in water. I stretched out my hand and touched it in the direction of those eyes, but I touched a cold scale, as if it were touching a stone.
The coercion, from the moment I touched the scale, suddenly vanished.
Even those eyes that flickered with evil fire became gentle, as if the long-lost parents had found their son.
I looked up at the protruding jaws, the hideous fangs, the short serrated horns, the muscular neck, the chest covered with gems and gold leaf, the wings spread like night, the thick hind legs, the slender and wagging tail, and the huge body that reached a height of more than ten meters just by lying on its stomach.
My eyes fell on its chest and abdomen, where the scales that were originally clinging to the gem and gold leaf were now torn open an incomparably hideous huge wound, a knife cut from the abdomen, all the way up, bursting at least two meters of scales, cut to the chest, and then horizontally to the right, almost cutting the burly body into two pieces, and you can even see the huge heart beating slowly inside. Countless black blood oozed from the wound and flowed down the glittering gem to the lower abdomen.
It's hurt!
I just saw it!
An inexplicable anger instantly flooded my mind and filled my chest, as if my loved ones had been treated so cruelly that I almost went berserk and exuded the same coercion as before. But it suddenly stretched out its wings, like wings like dark clouds, and gently stroked my shoulder, like a parent caressing his son's shoulder, gentle and delicate.
My tears fell on the spot, and I reached out to grab the tips of the obviously disproportionately large wings, rubbing against the tough skin. A sad stalk stalked in my throat. I took a deep breath before finally saying in a trembling voice, "Who hurt you, Alduin?"
Alduin, the eldest son of the legendary dragon god Artos, the dragon of the world, the terminator of the old world, and the founder of the dragonborn. This is the name that floats in my soul, and from the moment I was born, this name has been planted in the depths of my soul, and when one day, I meet it, and this name, and the vast memory behind it, will become one with my soul. The moment I saw Alduin, I knew who it was and who I was. One day in the long river of time, the soul of the world is like a sea of smoke, and Alduin uses its blood to merge into the soul of people, so there is a dragonborn who is so rare in legend, almost one in billions of miles. But the Dragonborn is only a mixture of Alduin's blood and human souls, and I am the only fragment of Alduin's soul, and once he finds me, or I find him, our souls will become one, and it will become the mythical Alduin with enough power to devour the world.
Before that, he was nothing more than a slightly more powerful dragon.
Now, I have found him, which is equivalent to finding another part of my soul, but he is dying at the moment.
Alduin sighed and said in a deep dragon voice, "Is it you, I have finally found you......"
I hugged the dragon's head that Oduin hung weakly, and choked up, "I have finally found you!"
Alduin snorted and said, "Unfortunately, it's too late, my soul is about to dissipate." ”
I said, "I give you my soul!"
Alduin said: "It is useless. My body has been wounded so badly that even a good soul cannot recover. And your soul is too weak...... When I split my soul and threw myself into this dimensional world, I was tired of the cycle of creation and destruction, and wanted to create a sinless world that would never need to be destroyed, but I ultimately failed. Because of desire, too much desire can destroy any world in my place, even destroy me!"
I said, "Is there anything I can do?"
Alduin said, "You can't do anything, not even I can do anything, it's easy to create the world, it's easier to destroy the world, but it's never possible to destroy desires." Go back, return to our plane, and continue to create and destroy ......"
I said, "I can still try, I have a dream ......"
Alduin said, "I know, the moment I see you, I know." Your past, your lifetime memories, even after so many lifetimes, you still can't leave your dreams behind. ”
I said, "I can do it!"
Alduin sighed again: "Well, since you are so sure, and this life is the closest life to that dream in your life, then I will fulfill you." I'm leaving, and my soul can't be left to you, but my heart and my flesh and blood can give you strength, so you can use my heart and my flesh and blood to realize your dreams. ”
After Alduin said this, suddenly his entire body burst into blood-red flames, the flames burned, and the huge dragon body coiled in the flames, and Alduin raised his head to the sky and let out a series of dragon groans. A sound rushed into the sky, shook away the black mist, and then fell, fell into my ears, and burrowed into my mind.
I can hear it clearly, the dragons are chanting, they are all dragon magic.
Alduin was burning, his whole body steaming, his scales turned to ashes, his bones to ashes, his internal organs to ashes, all wrapped in a blood-red golden wind, swirling and falling on me, and my shirt to ashes. The golden wind drilled through every pore of my body. My bones became Alduin's bones, my muscles became Alduin's muscles, and even my skin became Alduin's scales, with layers of shallow dragon lines. I felt that the endless power, in the swirling and sweeping of the golden wind, penetrated little by little, stretched my blood veins, burst my body, every capillary in my skin was exploding, and countless powers seeped out of the pores, turning into golden blood, and after cooling, it seeped back again.
I am in this repeated penetration and absorption, slowly changing muscles and bones, and blood regeneration.
Until finally, a huge dragon heart, slowly shrinking, became the size of my heart, slowly melted into my right chest, and jumped side by side with my heart, the two hearts slowly synchronized, and every time it beat, there would be an endless sense of fullness and strength born in my body, surging.
When I opened my eyes, the dragon pattern on my skin had receded, and Alduin's scales had sunk to the bottom of my skin, forming a layer of dragon skin inside my body. I opened my eyes, and for a moment I was still a little uncomfortable, everything was golden. When the gold receded slightly, I saw a round of morning sun slowly erupting from the horizon in the east, not far away.
It's a new day.
A gust of wind blew behind me, and the early spring morning breeze was still a little cold, but now I felt only warmth as if I was wearing a thick fur coat. Golden blood rushed through my veins, and my eyes could already see in the distance, and the first black riders were a little tired but still determined to rush in this direction. Behind him, Alduin's keel slowly turned into dust and flew into the sky. I know, it's Alduin, it's back. When the first group of black knights arrived, not long after the sun had risen, I saw a dozen of them walking through the layers of dense forest, most of their armor was torn, most of them were blood-stained clothes, and in order to save horsepower, they led their horses, and they could not be in front. Most of the weapons were missing, and only a few talisman daggers remained firmly in the hands of a few lightly wounded men. I saw one of the leading knights, who had come with Parker yesterday, and now he had a few more wounds on his body, and the bone in his left hand seemed to be broken, twisted at a strange angle. He insisted on bringing the group to me, and before he could speak, he almost fainted.
Guangguang stepped forward first, grabbed the brother, took a yellow solid from his pocket, put it under his nose and sniffed it for a while, and the brother easily came back to his senses. He struggled excitedly and said, "Captain, we dark hunters are fifteen, come to report!"
I nodded, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and told the knights to take off their armor and take a break.
After that, there were black knights or dark cultists rushing here one after another, and by noon, there were already more than forty black knights, more than a hundred stumbling ordinary cultists, barely half a team. It's just that the shortcomings are that these hundred or so people don't have any weapons to take advantage of, and in the previous escape, the equipment they carried with them has long been discarded, and now there are still sharp weapons in their hands, but there are only thirty or forty people, and the short knives and daggers that are not very practical can really come in handy, and there are only a dozen Germanic swords or short-handled guns. I redistributed my weapons and distributed the dozen sharp weapons among a dozen or so Black Knights with minor injuries, and Parker was one of them. Enslezer also wanted to get back on his horse, but his injuries were too severe, and although the crossbow arrow was taken out, he received a blow from the siege crossbow at close range, and his shoulder bones were basically on the verge of shattering, and he was staggering when he walked, so he was not expected to go to battle. Then, I temporarily promoted a few more captains, assigned sixty burly and lightly wounded ordinary congregants, and each of them was given a thick branch to walk on the left and right periphery and rear of the group, covering the seriously wounded companions in the middle. After noon, not many companions came. I climbed up the tallest pine tree and listened carefully in the direction of the valley of Elledege, where the shouts of killing were no longer audible and the flames were extinguished. I listened again in the direction of Paravon, and faintly heard the trotting of at least a thousand horses from a dozen miles away, the clashing of armor and weapons, the laughter of many Swadians—I could already see miles away, hear more than a dozen miles away, having inherited Alduin's flesh.
I went down to the ground and said, "The mysterious forces in the north have begun to retreat, and the troops on the Palauven side have already moved in the direction of El-Deig. Now this forest area is the vacuum period of our planned breakthrough. Now I order that Parker lead the ten Black Knights and clear the way in front, and that Guangguang lead the infantry for the time being, and that everyone keep quiet, and that the whole team move southward, and that we move in the direction of Fort Rende. ”
After a brief adjustment, the team immediately moved south in silence with Parker's black knight as the arrow, and after half an hour, it passed by the army of the Paravon side across a few hundred meters of dense forest.
When the army of Paravon passed through the dense forest, all of us were lying in the depths of the dense forest, and the horses were put down at once, and the sighs and cries of the wounded ceased, and all the spirits were stretched to the limit, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out. This state of affairs lasted until the entire Swadia army, consisting of thousands of cavalry and at least twice as many infantry, left from under our noses. When the last horse disappeared into the depths of the forest, all the brethren were silent, as if they had been whipped on the buttocks, but they jumped up and galloped towards the south, and all of them were running wildly, not daring to breathe, and shouting silently with their mouths wide open. It wasn't until everyone was out of breath and the horses were snorting that they stopped, and by this time we had reached the edge of the wooded area, which was a no-man's land at the junction of the border between the kingdom of Rhodok and the Svadian Empire, and there were no people all year round, even bandits did not bother to cut their paths here. We trimmed up a little, and after counting the number of people, I found that after the rush just now, at least thirty people were left behind, and there was no trace. The consequences of falling behind in this wooded area are often tragic, not to mention the group of Swadians who just passed, even the occasional beast is enough to bring about an end.
Guangguang came to me, handed me a water bladder, and joked, "Don't worry, there's no phosphorus in it." ”
I was not interested in his joke, which was not funny, and I looked around at the terrain, which was a basin, and a stream ran in front of me, dividing the basin into two parts, and we were standing on a higher hill, and at the end of the stream was a flat gravel beach. The jungle disappears at the entrance to the basin, and a short walk along the creek leads to a valley through which it is less than half a day's journey to Fort Rende. Tucked away among the hills and jungles, the basin is particularly quiet and safe, and it is precisely because of this that everyone can lie down on the ground and gasp for breath after inadvertently breaking in.
But in my eyes, this basin is an extremely dangerous place of death.
