Section 38 First Landing on Kurosawa Island
Leaving the bedroom, they climbed the stairs back to the sanctuary hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info doesn't see Serena, Will, or Artis, nor does he see Monka Kautos. Only one of the Assassin's assistants was sweeping the floor, and when he saw Rex and Odom coming, he greeted them warmly, "Your Highness Rex, Your Highness Odom, please wait a moment, breakfast will be delivered soon." ”
Rex vaguely agreed, then asked him, "Where's Lord Monka?"
The assistant replied with a flattering smile, "In the backyard." ”
"What is he doing?" Odom asked.
"With that young lady who just arrived, it seems to be discussing archery?" replied the assistant.
"Oh, got it, thank you. Rex patted him on the shoulder. Turning away from the assistant, he walked towards the back door.
"Ten minutes later, remember to come to the restaurant for breakfast. The assistant shouted behind them.
The two did not look back, but raised their right hand and waved it to indicate receipt.
Arriving at the schoolyard, Rex saw Monka instructing Serena in archery from afar. Will and Artis stood beside them, engrossed in their studies. They saw the two of them approaching, and Serena exclaimed excitedly, "Hey, Rex, come on, take a look at my archery?"
Rex waved at her and said to Odom, "It's Miss, let's go." ”。
Odom nodded, his eyes shining, and muttered approvingly, "What a beautiful woman!" ”
The two of them came to Serena, and Monka said to Odom, "Young General, this is the Dark Brotherhood Lady Serena girl I mentioned to you, and the person you are going to help. ”
Odom immediately knelt down on one knee, crossed his arms over his chest, and gave a solemn knightly salute, followed by Rex, Will, and Artis, who knelt down and bowed deeply to Serena.
"Friends, get up. Serena took off her helmet and said enthusiastically, "Welcome to us, General Odom. ”
Odom was polite and kept a modest smile, "It's a pleasure to serve you, my lady." ”
"Try it. Serena handed him the elven bow and quiver, "Mr. Monka said you are very powerful. Come, prove that you are qualified to join us. I'm sorry, but I don't disbelieve in your fighting skills, because this trip is extremely difficult and I don't want you to die innocently. ”
Odom glanced at Rex, probing him with his gaze. Rex laughs with Will and Artis. He made a catch-up gesture to Odom, suggesting that he take his bow and arrows.
"Well, it's ugly. Odom moved slowly, took his bow, and immediately mounted an arrow, aimed at one of the straw men marked with a red heart, and before the first arrow could hit the target, the second arrow flew out, and the third followed. The last three arrows all hit the heart, and his movements were graceful and fluid, and the time was extremely short, the whole process took less than a minute.
Everyone present was amazed, applauded, applauded and cheered, and even Artis, who was excellent in archery, secretly admired.
"Do you think I'm worthy of being your partner?" said Odom triumphantly. At the same time, put the bow and arrow in Serena's hands.
"Welcome, big man!" said Serena, with a look of delight.
"Alright, that's the end of the meeting, let's get down to business. "His Highness Sarn and Lord Ngil are important members of the Dark Brotherhood, as well as friends and relatives. We are saddened by the misfortune that they have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and we all hope that they will come back safely. Because their lives and deaths were at stake for the survival of the Assassin Alliance, it was up to them to rebuild the Templars. I don't think you need to delay here, and you should set off to Kurosawa Island as soon as possible to save people. ”
After hearing this, everyone looked solemn.
Kurosawa Island, located in the southwest of the skyline, is a mysterious island. Even the most well-booked library of the White Horse Library has no record of its history, nor is it known how it came to the hands of the Demon Lord Merus Dalgon. However, since Merus took control of Kurosawa Island and became king, his ambition is evident in the construction of a ring of defensive walls and watchtowers around the island, the construction of the city of hell, the increasing number of skeletons, and the command of the Legion of Bones to invade the five kingdoms of the sky.
At this moment, just after the early morning, the scorching sun is scorching the earth wildly, and the heat wave is rolling and breathless. The five of them had just set foot on the boundaries of Kurosawa Island, and as far as the eye could see, there was no rocky sand, there was not a trace of wind, no heat current, and the air seemed to freeze. The endless sand was as dead as silence, with nothing but heat and barrenness.
They are struggling with these hardships. Rex stopped, covering his eyes with his hands over the sand, feeling a pang of despair. It was as if the barren land was going to put them to death.
"What's up ahead?" asked Serena, strugglingly.
"My eyes are not spent, I can't see anything. Rex replied with a gasp.
Odom was the only one in good spirits, and he took off his heavy armor and put it on his back. Inherited from his ancestors, his super stamina and muscles give him an excellent physique. "It's hellish here, and I bet no life will survive," he said calmly. Living conditions are so bad, maybe we will die here. ”
Before he could finish speaking, Vir suddenly stopped and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Everyone be careful, there's a python!"
Everyone looked closely, and sure enough, they found a red and white blood python crawling on the sandy ground. It raised its head, stared at the crowd for a moment, and then walked away.
"You've lost, General Odom. Serena chuckled, "If I'm not mistaken, a life has just left. ”
"Ha, haha. There are always surprises, and it's not surprising. Life has always been so strong. Odom skillfully defused the embarrassment.
"Well, I agree with you. Life is a stubborn thing that never gives in to any difficulties. "It's going to rebel, it's going to fight against all suffering, there's always a solution, it's either to overcome the difficulties, or to adapt and survive." Life itself is a great transmission. ”
"That being said, it comes at a great cost. "Sometimes, it can be life itself. ”
"That's right. Odom chimed in, "Just like orcs hunting dragons, a few companions are always sacrificed at the end of a battle. But their sacrifice is worthwhile, and it can allow future generations to grow up safe and safe from danger. ”
"Oh! this sand is so deflating," Vir grumbled in a low voice.
Artis whispered comfortingly, "Hey, you don't have a good face, do you want to take a break." ”
Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Rex proposed, "Why don't you take a break, we can't die of exhaustion until we defeat the enemy." ”
So, the five stopped to drink water. The horses they rode had long since been released, and the weight of weapons and armor made it more difficult for them to move.
At this moment, several crows hovered and croaked in the air like the Grim Reaper. A little further into the center of the sand, they found many horse-sized scorpion carcasses lying on the side of the road, already withered. Curious, they were about to inspect the dried corpses, when suddenly they smelled a strong stench of corpses. The five of them quickly gathered back to back, knowing full well that the smell was a sign of danger and that they had to be prepared to deal with it. Rex grabbed the scabbard and drew the Nightingale's blade, raising his voice and yelling, "There's a situation!"
"It's the Skeleton Legion, everyone be careful!" said Serena.
"What white guys?" Odom asked, gesturing, pointing to either side.
"Yes, General. "They are a bunch of demons who don't speak, ferocious and savage, and they must not be careless." ”
"Just listen to you, friend. With that, Odom took Stendhal's axe in his hand and prepared to charge.
Will gripped his sword, Artis loaded with magic arrows, and the fireball in Serena's hand was aimed at the enemy.
Armed with swords, scimitars, maces, sawsaw axes, iron shields, and other weapons, the skeletons appeared in the sand, each with a blue glow in their eye sockets, and their mouths opened wide to let out a terrifying roar, and struck at them.
"Stand in two columns," Rex shouted, "stay in formation." ”
The five of them formed a team and watched as the group of demons approached little by little.
"Attack?" Odom asked Odom when the skeleton soldier reached about a hundred meters.
"Don't worry, wait until they get closer. Rex said.
"Lord bless. Serena whispered a prayer.
When the two teams reached a distance of more than 50 meters, Rex gave the order to "attack", and they raised their weapons and smashed into the enemy formation.
Rex let out a terrifying roar that knocked down an enemy with a soul-shattering roar, Serena's pyromagic flew like a snake between the skeletons, turning enemies to ashes, Odom's axes fell, shattering enemies into bones, Vir slashed with his sword, flying behind him with severed hands and feet, and Artis's arrows knocked enemies back or shattered to keep them safe.
The enemy's battle lines finally joined together and surrounded the five. They were nervous and under great pressure, and the enemies in the front row fell one after another, and another group of enemies rushed up and attacked them violently with broken bones.
On the battlefield, sweat rushes, bones fly, and crows scream.
Although the advantage of five people is huge, it can't withstand long-term consumption. Rex saw that there were about fifty or sixty skeletons who had not participated in the battle, waving their weapons and yelling at them in a rage.
Suddenly, an exclamation of "Ahhh Rex sees Serena tripped over a corpse, and six skeletons are surrounding her to cut her. He was frightened, and so were the others, and wanted to abandon the enemy to save Serena.
At this moment, a fierce black wolf suddenly appeared, jumped on the enemy's back and bit indiscriminately, and the six skeleton soldiers were instantly shattered.
"It's Barbas. Rex breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Look, wolf, wolf!" said Serena, whose face changed dramatically, and cried out in panic as she got up and ran to them.
The others weren't dealing with the skeletons and ran over to protect Serena. However, to their surprise, the black wolf did not pursue Serena and instead fought into the enemy.
"Don't worry, it's a friend. Rex explained aloud to them.
The crowd was relieved and continued to fight. The addition of Barbas has doubled everyone's confidence. When the last enemy was chopped up by Rex, the battle for the starters ended quickly.
Suddenly, there was a "fluttering sound", and a crow pierced into the air. Terrifying chirps echoed over the battlefield.
At this time, the black wolf's whole body glowed, and his appearance began to change. A minute later, the warrior Babas stood up from the ground, smiling. He told Rex, "You really shouldn't have caused yourself so much trouble without listening to Graybeard's advice. Hey, Rex, what do you think?"
