Three days later, the group finally approached the [Noah Line], a full day later than the budgeted time. Because they had to avoid the powerful creatures above their heads, but even so, they were revealed, and while Ian was unconscious, Nia and Old Pu took up the burden of the battle. As the two strongest members of the elf clan, joining forces is not something that ordinary dragons can match.

So they spent three days without danger, and finally approached the [Noah's Line].

On the hill closest to the line, they could see the entire southwest line. Although they had been mentally prepared for a long time, when they really witnessed this moment with their own eyes, the indescribable sadness and gloom still came to their hearts. The men couldn't bear to look any further, and the women, pale, spit out everything they had eaten before.

Because before their eyes were mountains of dead bodies. Not only humans, but also dragons, thousands of corpses were piled up under the city walls, like endless mountains of corpses. Countless flies and crows hovered over the corpses, and the dead dragons remained in their previous positions, their pitch-black keels like spears piercing into the ground. The smell of decay lingered in the air, as if blackened the clouds.

"A terrible battle to exterminate the race. Nia sighed softly and handed Liz a wet towel, "It's better to cover your mouth, those corpses aren't clean." ”

"Thanks, thanks. ”

Lao Pu looked at the tragic scene in front of him, and couldn't stop shaking his head, and sighed: "The war between us and the dwarves thousands of years ago is probably the same scene. Only this kind of war can be called a war of extermination, and I think that in the end, whether the human race or the dragon race wins, it will be an unbearable and miserable victory. ”

As elves, Nia and Lao Pu have always seen this war from an outsider's perspective. Unlike Nicole, they are the parties involved in the war, Nicole is concerned about whether the [Noah's Line] has been lost, while Xiu is concerned about how many dragons have fallen here.

"No less than twenty. Xiu quickly gave an answer, "The dragons' sacrifices here are about to catch up with the sacrifices in Alder. ”

Xiluo asked puzzledly, "Why is this happening? This is still some distance from the imperial capital, isn't it the main defensive position of the hall?"

"The entire [Noah's Line] is the fortress of the imperial capital to the outside world, and the investment in the hall is also huge. The reason why they were able to cause such losses to the dragons was the indelible credit of the giant crossbows and trebuchets that could kill the dragons in the sky to the greatest extent. "Actually, Alder also set up these armor, but most of the trebuchets were in the outposts, but those wyverns crossed those outposts and attacked the inner city of Alder, causing most of the armor to be useless. ”

"How did they do it?" asked Allen, "Have they never been seen before?"

"They're hiding in the clouds, how can an observer be able to see them?" Xiu shook his head and said, "That's the power of the Thunder King Na Ash, and the five dragon kings can all create natural disasters, let alone something as simple as using moving clouds as cover." I think that if it weren't for Ian who seriously injured Na Ember in Alder, I'm afraid that the dragons would have used the same method to cross the [Noah's Line] and directly attack the imperial capital. ”

"From another point of view, their direct attack on the [Noah's Line] means that Na Ember has not yet recovered, and the Dragon Emperor does not have the power to manipulate nature. Nia smiled, "It seems that the Dragon Emperor is not omnipotent. ”

Listening to Nia's words, everyone laughed dryly. If this is comforting, then the effect is minimal. What if the Dragon Emperor couldn't create a natural disaster? It was able to defeat the strongest of the human race without any effort, and it already made them feel powerless.

Nicole, who had been observing the city wall for a long time, suddenly put down her lookout glasses and said, "This is our chance." ”

"Opportunity?" Silo was a little puzzled.

"A chance to enter [Noah's Line]. Nicole said word by word, "I also saw a figure on the city wall, it seems that the guards are testing the city crossbow, which shows that the [Noah's Line] has not been lost." We can now pass through the corpse pile, through the defense line as Lord Ian Thorn, and go straight to the Imperial Capital. If you're lucky, you'll find a horse, and I think the hall has been waiting for Ian for a long time. ”

Nicole's words lifted people's hearts, and even Barov's eyes lit up with a tired face. Even if he has looked down on death, no one will give up hope of living. Just the thought of passing through the mountains of corpses made the women's faces pale.

Alan squeezed Peria's hand: "I'll carry you on my back, don't worry." ”

Peria smiled, "Hmm. ”

Xiluo also picked up Lily and nodded her nose: "I will hold you too, don't be afraid of the little girl." ”

"I won't be afraid. Lily wrinkled her nose and her face was full of duplicity, "You're the one who's scared." ”

"Okay, okay, it's me, it's me. ”

A small interlude lightened the mood a little. The job of carrying Ian was handed over to Old Pu, and although Nia repeatedly stated that she could fly through the line with Ian, she was rejected by Old Pu.

In this regard, Lao Pu's explanation is like this: "If it is Ian who is not injured, then you can do it, because under his protection no one can hurt you except the Dragon Emperor." But now that Ian is unconscious, once you carry him, your combat power will also decrease, and you will be isolated in the sky. No one can save you in any life. ”

Nia had no choice but to give up.

Nicole looked at Xiu and asked softly, "It's okay, right?"

Xiu took a deep breath: "What does it matter? I'm not even afraid of death, am I still afraid of the dead?"

Nicole nodded and didn't say anything, just handed Xiu a dagger. Along the way, Nicole has collected a lot of weapons, the most powerful of which are of course Ian's [Musk Moon Goddess] and [Dragon Cut]. But no one but Ian could use them, so Nicole had to collect a few more weapons that were handy.

For example, daggers and short knives, even Barov, who has no combat training, can hold them with a certain ability to protect himself. Although they only walked through a pile of corpses, no one could guarantee that there would be no danger, so it was important for each person to have a dagger.

Even the little girl, Lily, clutched a dagger inlaid with rubies tightly in her hand, which was given to her by Xiu.

After hastily eating dry food, the group prepared to leave. They will step through the corpses and lead to the line of defense of the dead.
