There are more and more people.

Alan had never seen so many people, huddled in the canyon like migrating ants. This is the last section of the road to the [Shire Line], according to my father, as long as they pass through the defense line, they will go all the way north, and it will only take two days to reach the imperial capital.

At that point, they will be able to put an end to this hasty escape.

It's just that this last leg of the road is too long. They had been in the canyon a day earlier, but the whole day had passed, and the cart had barely moved much forward. The outline of the [Charr Line] is still so blurred, as if it is far away in the sky, but it seems to be within reach.

Father Abt went to the front to inquire about the news, anyway, the cart could not move for a while, just to give the old horse who had been driving for a few days to rest. This old horse has been with Abu for many years, and if it weren't for their eagerness to rush to the imperial capital, Abt would definitely be reluctant to let the old horse go like this.

At this time, Peria, who was resting on the cart, slowly opened her eyes, looked at Alan sitting on the cart, and called his name softly.

Alan relieved: "What's wrong?"

"I want to sit up, can you give me a hand?"

"You're still burning, it's better to keep resting. ”

"You can rest while sitting. Peria winked at Allen, "You can't expect me to lie down all the time. ”

Alan hesitated, but went over to help Peria up, and at the same time wrapped the coat that was already covering Peria a little tighter. Peria's face was pale, and she closed her eyes softly as she made physical contact with Erin, her slender eyelashes fluttering slightly.

"Once you're in the Charr Line, I'll go get you some medicine. Alan said.

Peria opened her eyes, nodded slightly, and asked, "What were you thinking just now?"

"Didn't think about anything. Alan replied subconsciously.

"No, you must be thinking. Peria said with some stubbornness, "You must be thinking about the hunter, aren't you?"

Alan wanted to admit it, but Peria's eyes made it difficult for him to tell the lie, so he hesitated for a few seconds and nodded. Peria looked like "I know" and persuaded: "Don't think about him anymore, okay? Listen to my uncle, we will soon be safe, he is also gone, and we have nothing to do with him anymore." ”

"I know. Alan replied in a muffled voice, "I won't think about it anymore." ”

But could you really not want to? Eren had never seen such a powerful man, and with the long knife in his hand, he slashed the dragon that had destroyed the entire village in two, and the dragon's blood turned into rain and sprinkled on the man's face, and the air was full of scorching waves. The way the man turned back was completely engraved in Allen's heart, and perhaps, he would never be able to forget that person for the rest of his life.

Originally, he had already made up his mind to become as strong as that person, no matter what the cost would be along the way. Never before had he wanted to accomplish something like this, and now he had, but the man had left and didn't give him a chance. He didn't know anything but that the man's name was Ian, and that he didn't know that the man looked like him.

Will he ever meet him?

Allen's heart was very confused.

Peria still wanted to say something to Alan, but when Abt returned, she could only suppress her words for the time being, hoping to have a chance to talk to Eren again.

Abt returned to the cart with a sad face, and both of them noticed his expression and had a very bad premonition. Alan sat down beside his father and cautiously asked, "Is something wrong?" Could it be that the [Charr Line] is closed?"

"Not really. Abt shook his head, "The [Charr Line] is still functioning normally, and it won't be long before we can get through." ”

Alan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine. ”

"But the imperial capital has been locked down. "In other words, even if we enter the [Charr Line], I am afraid that we will not have a chance to enter the imperial capital." ”

Alan opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He didn't quite understand what it meant that the imperial capital was locked down, but it didn't sound like a good thing, and he couldn't help but think to the worst: "Could it be that we will be abandoned?"

Peria also became nervous.

"That's not it, the lockdown of the imperial capital just means that we can't go to the safest place, and the place where we can take refuge is not the only place in the imperial capital. Abt said, "I heard that the [Noah's Line] on the periphery of the Imperial Capital has the strongest walls, as long as we enter the [Noah's Line], even if we don't go to the Imperial Capital, we can be regarded as successfully evacuated." ”

"I see. Alan nodded, "It's good that we're not abandoned." ”

That's right. Abt smiled reluctantly, "You guys rest a little longer, we'll be soon-"

Before Abt could finish his sentence, Peria suddenly grabbed Alan's hand. Alan was stunned, turned his head to look, and saw Peria staring at the sky, her beautiful eyes full of horror. In the next second, the crowd began to be chaotic, and Alan and his son realized something, slowly raised their heads, and looked at the sky.

Everyone held their breath.

Under the inky sky, a black dragon soared by.

Alan's heart rose to his throat. He had never seen such a creature before, the black dragon seemed to have come out of the poetry of a bard, and the black dragon that had snatched the princess and then been killed by the prince was vividly displayed in front of tens of thousands of homeless people.

It is powerful and noble, and unlike the [Tyrannosaurus] that was killed in the valley, it has the purest dragon blood, and its appearance is in line with all dragons' fantasies. Now, the fantasy had become reality, and the black dragon flew overhead, the dark scales reflecting a silvery glow that overwhelmed everyone.

"What, what to do? Is that a dragon?"

"Will it attack us?"

"Please, I don't want to die!"

Soon, the crowd was in turmoil, and when the first person shouted "Hurry up to the defensive line", the crowd was completely uncontrollable. The people threw away all their belongings and rushed towards the [Charr Line] like crazy, and Alan hurriedly pounced on Peria to prevent people from stepping on this weak and powerless girl.

"Allen!" Abt yelled, "hurry up!"

"I know!"

Alan replied loudly, pushing away a couple of lunatics and holding Peria tightly in his arms. Abt tried to get the carriage running, but the old horse only raised his head, and after a neighing sound, he fell to the ground with a bang, and blood spilled from his mouth.

The old horse is still dead.
