Chapter 1 Tasks
On the top floor of an old-fashioned mixed stone and wood tower in Zilvaza, a man dressed in a black silver-inlaid robe stood on it, his face full of vicissitudes, and his dark eyes looked at the distant sky with smoke, and fell into a state of distress. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And behind him, stood a black warrior who exuded the aura of death all over his body.
The black warrior's eyes were crimson, dark and scorching, with the hollow sheen of the dead.
The pale yellow sunset slowly disappeared into the sky, and the man finally spoke slowly, and said with a slight pause: "Tyr, hasn't there been a response from the Dragon Valley, the necromantic army has crossed the border of the Cloud Swamp!"
"I don't think Dragon Nest will accept our commission......!
The black warrior Tyr uttered a hoarse voice, clearly excited, but the man known as the Silver King stopped talking.
For thousands of years, the city of Zilvaza, as the most mysterious and dangerous terrain of the Pascal Empire, was not as simple and easy as others thought. Even without any complex defensive barriers, a battle with all your might can be extremely difficult here.
What's mysterious?
Have you ever seen a city with a continent-like terrain suspended in the sky......
What is Dangerous Terrain?
Beneath this floating island lies the bottomless, untouched abyss, which has been deeply rooted in this forbidden area of white mist all day long, the ice forest, since the end of the Nordic era.
The cold wind was bitter, but it couldn't resist a dark torrent from the cloud and mud swamp on the outskirts of the forest, and fled in a hurry.
The Necromantic Legion is coming.
The black and oppressive waves of air stained half the sky black, with a surging resentment and malice.
However, on the outskirts of the city, the wind blows and the towns are empty, and the fallen leaves are scattered.
That happened about three hours ago. After the bell rang for the enemy's attack, the Silver King issued an order not to allow any people to enter or leave the town, but after all, he could not stop some people who were not afraid of death and wanted to defend their homes and country.
Even if they were not well-trained soldiers and had no combat experience, that was not a reason for them to retreat.
One of the strange things that the people who live in this land have long been accustomed to is that a step from the edge of the city of Zilvaza is not thousands of feet in the air, but the windswept towns at the end of the icefield forest.
No one knows the reason for this since ancient times, but it is said that there is a gap that crosses the space.
Legend has it that the Necronomicon Legion is like a swarm of locusts wreaking havoc on food everywhere they go.
But no one knows that they emerged from the Great Battle of Black Mountain, which awakened the black dragon Nirdora ten years ago, and the Tao is inexhaustible, resurrected at any time, and appears all over the world through the twisted void.
The birds in the treetops fluttered their wings and scattered, disturbing the silent silver-leaved ash forest. Someone had broken into the pristine ecological zone on the edge of the sparsely populated city of Zyrvaza, and it wasn't just a person, about a platoon of troops.
"This movement is ......" The voice of the sentient scout guarding the city gate was faint, and his fierce aura made him a little afraid.
Archon Mercury, clad in gray armor and wielding a sword in his right hand, smiled and patted the scout on the shoulder. There was a sense of violence in the thick of the magic, and he guessed who it was.
In this Pascal Empire, no one dares to be as unscrupulous as him, never taking anyone seriously, let alone showing mercy to the weak.
"Commander!" the soldier stood straight and gave orders.
"You're going to report to the Silver King!" Mercury frowned, and finally spat out a word.
"Yes!"
Yes, I'm afraid that no one in the Pascal Empire will dare to go against the guy who is coming at them now, that is a guy with absolute wolf ambitions, Vasno, the second prince of the Pascal Empire.
At this moment, he was galloping towards him on an iron-blooded horse as fast as black lightning.
Behind him were the soldiers who couldn't catch their breath, resentment was accumulating, and their momentum was huge but their morale was lacking.
In the blink of an eye, he was the first to rush in front of Mercury, waving his horsewhip vigorously, ignoring the exhausted soldiers behind him, and exclaimed angrily: "Didn't my father block the passage in and out of the city a long time ago!
"Prince Vasno, this is not a factor beyond our control......"
"Ridiculous! A mere group of powerless rabble, could it be that the army of the Great Empire can't suppress it? Then you still have the value of existence?"
"I don't think they're weakling......"
The moment the red robe arced through the air, the Iron Horse unexpectedly bent his knees, lowered his head and whimpered, his eyes vaguely revealing weakness.
Once upon a time, it was a rare horse that could be said to be sought by battle-hardened soldiers, but it was as cowardly as a lost dog.
This scene really shocked and infuriated Mercury, and he stared at Vasno, who had fallen off the iron-blooded horse, with a burning eye.
"Aren't they weak, then you don't even think as good as this beast!"
"So what......
Provocation is a forbidden word in Vasno's dictionary. Born in the family of the emperor, Vasno was born with a golden key, and his mother is the only queen of the current Pascal Empire, and because of this, arrogance has become his capital, and no one has fulfilled his nature in his eyes.
Vasno sneered and paced towards Mercury with his hands behind his back, slowly overflowing with crimson magic, accompanied by the oppressive force that suppressed the inability of people to breathe freely, so that the soldiers guarding the door did not dare to silence.
"Big brother, no, ...... lich"
With a hiss, the closed gate suddenly opened, and a sweaty, panicked, red-haired prince ran out. His deep crimson eyes seemed to be the deep pool of water, deep, deep.
Mercury reacted at this time, there was a lot of commotion in the city, and the scouts who went to report to the Silver King did not return, so something was indeed wrong. He was anxious but not ungrateful as a general, and waited patiently for Prince Nestre in front of him to take a few breaths.
"According to reports from the forward positions, the necromantic legions show no signs of advancing aggressively in order to hold back our forces...... What is their true purpose?" Nest looked at Vasno eagerly, he wanted to talk to his eldest brother about some interesting things he had experienced, but he held back.
"Nest, let's go to Father's side!"
Vasno didn't bother to continue arguing with Mercury, thinking that riding past would slow down, and just as he was about to use the Wind Resist to fly over, the air suddenly vibrated as strongly as a beast clawing at a wall.
Void!?
The center of the most intense tremor gradually twisted into a spiral and cracked.
A black-purple devil's claw forcibly tore open the spatial crack from the inside, and then the skeleton of the upper body wrapped around the black mist poked out, and the lower body was a cloudy black-gray miasma.
It's too late!
The little lich who spotted his target flashed behind Nest, trying to twist his head off.
Hiss~
Mercury, who is still experienced in combat and has a very human reflexes, quickly drew his sword to block the deadly claws and knocked it back at this critical moment, which frightened the hindsight Nest.
"Big brother!" Nest took a few steps back, staring around warily. "There is also a large amount of void in the sky above the city!"
Vasno was furious, and the burning magic turned into a solid flame and began to boil, causing a sudden wind. After several confrontations, he couldn't catch the afterimage of the flickering lich, and could only prevent it from getting close.
"Damn, why is this guy so tough?"
"Your Highness Nest, are all the lichs that appear in the city?" Mercury seemed to sense something.
After a moment's thought, Nestor described, "No, there's also a kind of lich with a wand and a rusty crown on its head...... and another large lich with red eyes and jewels, but the latter is slow and does not fly much. ”
No! That's not a lich......
Mercury shuddered and shouted at the Lich soldiers inside the gates, "Don't fight a huge enemy! ”
As soon as the words fell, those evil creatures suddenly rushed around with their heads in pain, howled, and then spontaneously combusted and fell.
"As far as I know, there is only one person who is truly powerful......"
Following this low, melodious, magnetic voice, they saw only a gray-faced fellow walking over with a clump of black smoke jujube branches, eating the flames of the mouth, chewing deliciously, and his face full of satisfaction seemed to have eaten a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Nester dumbfounded and pointed at the lichs that had been reduced to ashes, and asked with a wry smile, "You killed all of them?"
"Well, I didn't expect the flames from the lightning to be so powerful...... It's delicious!"
"Who are you?" Vasno asked, dissatisfied.
"Hahaha! It's good to eat...... It turns out that I haven't introduced myself yet. The sloppy guy reluctantly put down the lightning strike jujube wood that had been extinguished in his arms, dusted off his body and head, tidied up his crooked robe, and finally took out an old platinum medal with no pattern from his breast pocket to show them.
"My name is Proverb Golmes, and I'm from Dragon Valley, and I've been commissioned by your empire to help. So...... What did my mission come about?"
"Huh, are you really from the Dragon's Nest? you're alone?" Mercury waited for the Dragon's Nest people to come, but he didn't expect it...... It was unbelievable, and although this man had dealt with the lich in front of him in an instant, could just one person help?
Yan Huo spread his hands, shook his head, and said, "There is another guy in the back, he said that he will come over after the Necromantic Legion is solved!"
Ahhh~
Ahhh
At the end of the bluestone paved road, the noisy footsteps were loud, and the rolling dust was getting closer and closer~
Yan Huo moved his nose and grinned: "Look, as soon as he talks about him, he comes!"
Nest stood on tiptoe, looked around for a moment, and asked, "No...... There were a lot of people! Except for the ordinary people who were dressed in the soldiers' armor, the others were all people in the armor of the soldiers, as if something was chasing them. ”
It's close!
Monsters~
The crowd rushed to the gate of the city at a very fast speed, and when they saw Mercury, they seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and hurriedly pushed him forward, and looked at the black air mass in front of them.
"What's wrong?" Mercury looked at the familiar soldiers' faces behind him in astonishment. "I'm going, aren't you supposed to stop the Necrons on the front lines?
"No...... We don't want to ...... either."
"Monsters!"
"What kind of monster? I can't feel any magic fluctuations in front of me!" Mercury only saw the black qi surging, not to mention the monster, not even the chilling oppression.
"That man is a monster...... As soon as he came to the battlefield, it was all chaotic, and he was still pulling ......" One of the young generals in the crowd poked his head out and gasped and explained, incoherent, unable to express it accurately.
Nister poked Vasno beside him with his elbow, and asked in a daze, "Big brother, do you know what that is?"
Vasno had been looking at the strange proverb from the beginning, wondering if the legendary Dragon Valley was not supposed to be the place where the descendants of the dragon clan lived? How could such a strange guy be sent? Could it be a fake? Thinking of this, how could he have the heart to think about what would appear in front of him, and impatiently shook three words, I don't know!
At this moment, there is no sound.
Everyone looked nervously at the front of the black pressure and swallowed their saliva one after another.
Five minutes later...... The black air mass of the mystery is near!
"This ......"
Mercury, Vasno, and Nestre were all so shocked that their eyes fell out at the same time, and they were speechless when they struggled to spit out a word.
"Hey......! You ......"
The proverb fire with black lines on his face was instantly petrified on the spot, and he stepped on 10,000 mud donkeys in his heart, and he really regretted handing over the necromantic legion to him to deal with! At this moment, I especially wanted to grab this guy's head and hit the tofu scum fiercely.
