154 And the kings were astonished
154 The kings were shocked
The city of Linguille, the capital of the kingdom of La Velis, is a city centered around the Lake of Saint-Grace, the source of the Rhine. The royal city where the royal family is located is the center of the entire royal capital, located in the middle of the Sheng'en Lake, surrounded by mirror-like water. When the lake is calm on a sunny day, the royal city on the water surface is reflected on the mirror-like lake, forming a spectacle of two cities appearing at the same time under the water and water, which is praised as "Mirror Lake Twin Cities" by the poets, and is also a famous scene of the royal capital.
However, the beauty that had appeared in countless psalms was now gone. As far as the eye can see, I can see that the water on the calm lake is not rippling, and there is no protruding shadow. If it weren't for the broken bridges connected to the royal city still standing alone on the water, I am afraid that no one would believe that there was once a castle here.
The royal city is not gone. On the vast surface of the Lake of Divine Grace, half of it was shrouded in a dark shadow in the sky, and that black shadow was the location of the vanished royal city.
The Black Shadow is a giant floating island, with an outline in the shape of an egg, but its size is unimaginably large. The diameter of the island at its widest point is almost one kilometre, almost two-thirds of the area of Loch Saint-Grace, and the head-to-toe height is more than two kilometres. Such a huge floating island, just doing nothing in the air, plunged nearly one-fifth of the streets of the royal capital into the darkness of shadows.
The inhabitants who had been placed in the shadows watched with great fear at the floating island, which had suddenly appeared last night. At that time, a strong earthquake that swept through the royal capital caused everyone to flee to the streets for refuge, and then they saw the huge shadow that emerged from half of the Holy Grace Lake. The rising floating islands carried away the Intramuros, and the agitated waters of the lake flooded the First Avenue closest to the Intramuros. The city of Lingeil lost almost all of its leaders overnight, and the panicked inhabitants could not find anyone to rely on.
After a night's time, the rising floating islands have completely surfaced. Perhaps because it has been buried underwater for a long time, the outer wall of the floating island is full of aquatic plants, and water is constantly pouring out from the broken holes at the bottom. The waterfall-like water had been pouring down all night, but it showed no signs of abating.
The bottom of the floating island is filled with stagnant water, and in the middle and upper floors is the nest of monsters, where you can see many winged magic insects circling around the floating island like nesting insects. Occasionally, one or two demon worms landed on the streets of the royal capital, and it was often the destruction of at least half of the streets. Even if there was an emergency dispatch of the 6th Army, which was not affected by the chaos, it was not the opponent of the Demon Worm at all. The people of the royal capital prayed in despair for the appearance of the patron saint, but what they did not know was that the object of their prayer was no longer there.
"Ahh......h
On a hill on the outskirts of the royal capital, Xiu De looked at the wisps of black smoke rising in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
The location where the black smoke rose was the location of the Sky Base, and at this moment the base had become a scorched earth. At the same time that the floating island floated up from the bottom of the Lake of Sacred Grace, a group of calamity dragons also launched a surprise attack on the Sky Base. If it weren't for the Duke forcing everyone in the base to evacuate in advance, in the face of the overwhelming attack of the Calamity Dragon, I am afraid that no one in the base would have survived. However, although the Shoshi evacuated the base safely, the air horses and airships that remained in the base were all destroyed, and only the Merry, which was used as a means of transportation, was spared.
The Shoshi who had evacuated the base, as well as the people who had escaped from the royal capital, were now hiding in a secret stronghold under the hills. Although the duke said that he did not have to worry about being revealed for the time being, if he was revealed, he would probably not even have the strength to resist if he lost all his empty horses. A group of unarmed ordinary people against a group of top-level monsters against the dragon attack armament, plus a floating fortress with infinite recovery power, no matter how you think about it, it is a situation that is more desperate than desperate.
"Really, with the current conditions, no matter how you think about it, you can't win......" Xiude muttered to himself with a distressed expression. "Hmm, do you want to surrender?"
"Good idea. His opinion was strongly approved by the duke, who was approaching. "If you send some idler over, I'm sure Katos will gladly accept our surrender. ”
"Uh, teacher, I'm just kidding......" Xiude looked at the Duke in embarrassment.
"Are you kidding? "You unscrupulous disciple! Stay in the royal city all day, but you don't even know that there is such a thing in your own city, are your eyes only used to look at women? Katos must not have been doing that thing for a year or two, and you have not appeared at all, you ...... You...... What a shame on the old man! What face do you want the old man to go underground to see your father in the future!"
"Ahh......h "It's Katos that guy is so cunning, he has already caught his tail, but who expected him to suddenly stage a broken tail escape, and the result is a little too much...... But, teacher, aren't you unaware of Katos' conspiracy, and the Duke's Palace is much worse now than it was when I broke the pond...... Ahh
"If the old man hadn't been aware, you would have been food for those worms by now!" the Duke raised his fist that had just landed on the king's head.
“...... That's right, I didn't expect you, teacher, to pull all the heraldic courtyards in. Xiude covered his head and looked in the direction of the royal capital with palpitations. "If it hadn't been for Norwes's sudden rush in, we would have been taken to heaven like that, Katos's tricks were too ruthless...... But then again, that guy with a head as hard as a stone, what the hell did you say about him, teacher?"
"Well, you can ask him yourself. The Duke pointed behind Xiude.
"I asked myself?...... Wow!" Xiude appeared at this time, and the chief of the military police standing behind him was suddenly full of embarrassment. "Uh, Norwes, you...... When did you come?"
"Just a little before the sentence 'A guy with a head as hard as a stone'. Norwes responded to Xiude.
"Yes...... yes, do you hear that? Actually, I mean that, that...... By the way, the will not to bow to any power is a very rare quality!"
"Compared to this kind of thing, I just received a report from my subordinates. Norwes coldly interrupted Xiude's argument and reported. "Your Majesty, Your Excellency, you and others have returned. ”
The fastest and fastest "Who are we waiting for?" Xiude raised his head in amazement and saw an elven moon boat in the sky not far away.
........................
"What the hell is going on here!" the Kirin grabbed someone by the collar and questioned fiercely. "Where's your royal city, and where did that floating island come from?"
Grabbing the monarch's collar as a shoshi should be considered quite offensive from the point of view of common sense, but the people around him did not express much surprise. Whether it was Bai Xiang Chang who followed the Qilin to arrive, or Fu Guogong who was standing next to him yawning, or the chief of the gendarmerie who closed his eyes and ignored it, they all showed an indifferent attitude towards someone's suffering. Even Princess Elsa just bowed her head and sighed softly, and then fell silent.
As a result, the isolated monarch had no choice but to try to save himself.
"You...... Have you been there?" Xiude straightened the crooked forehead crown on his head and tried to comfort the unicorn. "Well, please calm down and listen to me slowly......"
"Do you still have time to speak slowly?" Qilin simply lifted Xiude up and shook it off. "The royal capital is in chaos! The calamity dragons on the floating islands have come down in droves and wreaked havoc on the streets, and if they are left alone, the king will be razed to the ground in less than three days! At this time, who has time to listen to you slowly!"
"Disaster...... Calamity dragon destroys the streets?" Xiude shook as he questioned the Qilin's claim. "This ...... Doesn't that make sense? Katos is...... It is to get this country and destroy the king's capital...... It doesn't do him any good, does it?"
"The hell knows what that guy is thinking!" replied Kirin in a rage. "The dragons came down and knocked down the houses in the streets, and then flew back in droves carrying stones, I saw it with my own eyes!"
"It just collapsed the house and didn't kill the residents?" Xiude confirmed to Qilin, and then showed a solemn expression. "The start of nesting activities means that there are already king worms appearing, where did that guy Katos find the control unit...... Well, it's not good to go on like this......"
"Nonsense! Of course it's not good!" the Kirin threatened him further. "Tell me everything you know, or I'll represent all the people of Ravelis today and completely correct your rotten habits!"
"Hey, even if you say so...... Xiu De wanted to protest, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the duke and the others showing the appearance of grinding their fists, so he quickly changed his words. “...... Even if you don't, I'll explain it to everyone...... Really, trust me. ”
“...... You guy. Feeling powerless, Kirin put someone down in his hand and urged him. "Then let's tell us what that floating island is?"
"That floating island is the Sky City that used to fall to the ground, and because of the impact of the fall at that time, the current Lake of Divine Grace was formed, and then it has been submerged by the lake for hundreds of years...... Uh, that's the introduction in the official records. Someone said slowly.
"You guy, are you really still underwhelming!" Qilin shook his fist in place of the others.
"Wait! The front is just foreshadowing, what I'm going to talk about next is the true face of that floating island!" Xiude raised his hand in surrender, urgently stopping Qilin's violent tendencies.
