At dusk, the last trace of the sun remains. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAt this time, there was a lively scene in Qingyun City, as if the land that had not been moistened for a long time finally ushered in the sweetness that had not been seen for a long time.

Qingyun City is the main city with the largest power of the Terrans, located in the northern part of the continent, the source of vitality that is the source of spring all year round, and nearly half of the Terrans live here.

The Terrans are one of the oldest races in the Dragontu world, most of them don't have strong bodies, but they have intelligent minds that they are proud of. They are erudite, thoughtful, industrious and brave, whether it is medicine, alchemy, or blacksmithing, etc., they can find a few characters in the human race that resound throughout the world. Of course, having these is not enough for the human race to stand for thousands of years in this world of the jungle without perishing, what really makes other races not to be underestimated is the ancient bloodline they have, the dragon bloodline.

According to legend, the Dragon's Bloodline was a guardian contract between the earliest leader of the human race and the Guardian Dragon Diagram (Note 1) thousands of years ago. The Terrans who possess the bloodline of the dragon and can harness the dragon have the highest honor among the human race, and are called the Celebrants. But now there are very few families with the bloodline of Qinglong.

A veteran of the Terran patrolling the city had just returned, and slowly walked to the city gate, he had already been drowsy from the exhaustion of the day. is over half a hundred years old, and his body is no longer as tough as when he was young, but now he still has to do such a tiring errand as patrolling the city. But apart from these old bones in the city, there are only some women and children left, do you want them to come and patrol the city?

The veteran shook his head and looked at the banner of Qingyun City fluttering overhead. Above the banner is a Terran leader wearing red armor, holding a bow and arrow in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, riding on a red dragon.

The veteran sighed, habitually touched the wine bag on his waist, and was ready to use the wine to kill his sorrows, but who knew that it was already empty. The veteran scolded in a low voice, reluctantly took out a piece of dry bacon jerky from his arms, threw it into his mouth and chewed it heavily, muttering while chewing: "If it weren't for those damn monsters in Zhongzhou ravaging the border, I would have been retired in this four-season Qingyun City." What's the use of patrolling outside the city every day, and hey, in order to resist those monsters who don't want to die, the various races have also united to form some kind of "righteous army" for the first time (note 2). Even the rivals who did not get along with each other for the long and dead made peace for the time being, and the Terran warriors in Qingyun City even poured out of the city, leaving only us old and weak women and children. Oh, and the nobles whose lives are more precious than gold. ”

Perhaps because of his old age, he couldn't stop muttering, so he took out a larger piece of jerky and stuffed it into his mouth. suddenly remembered that he had lived alone all his life, and when he was old, he didn't even have a mother-in-law, and he thought that he could relax and enjoy his old age in his old age. Although he has no talent for promotion in this life, and those who have practiced medicine have not practiced to become famous, it is not good to live this life ordinarily. Some people are destined to be given heavy responsibilities by God, but those people are not me, this is all fate, and the next life will definitely be reborn, and feng shui will take turns.

It took only one piece of bacon jerky for the veteran to go from complaining to comforting himself. Seeing that it was not too early, the veteran put away his emotions and walked slowly in the direction of home as usual.

After just a few steps, a figure suddenly burst out from directly in front of him, and the sudden appearance of this figure really startled the veteran.

The veteran staggered back, and after stabilizing his position, he hurriedly touched the iron sword at his waist without even thinking about it. In these chaotic times, there is no time to take things lightly. But the excessive nervousness made the veteran unable to hold even the iron sword, which was not too heavy, and with a bang, the iron sword fell firmly on the ground with a muffled sound.

The veteran's heart chuckled and was half cold, and it was broken.

"Hey, Lao Wen, the battle report that the big-headed eagle just sent back. And guess what, there's good news coming from the border of the West Field!" Just as the veteran turned around and was about to run away, the familiar voice made his tense nerves suddenly relax. It turned out that the "figure" was Aru, a veteran who stayed in the city with him.

"Hey, Lao Wen, why are you looking at me like this?" Aru didn't realize that his abruptness had startled his old companion.

"I said, Aru, why are you still so reckless? How can we say that we are also Terran warriors defending the city, and we must have a calm heart outside. Otherwise, when the enemy really comes, don't be scared and can't even hold the sword steadily!" Lao Wen didn't care about what Aru said at all, on the contrary, he was more concerned about Aru's abruptness, which startled him, and he felt that it was necessary to educate this veteran who was only a few years younger than himself.

"Also, don't call me by my name outside, I'm also your commander. ”

"Hey, yes. Sir, there is the latest battle report, and there is good news from the Xiye Border!" "Aru seems to be in a very good mood, and he doesn't care about Lao Wen's preaching, he just wants his partner to know the good news as soon as possible.

"What's the good news? Another breakthrough victory for the Righteous Division?" Lao Wen asked impatiently, he was already tired of this kind of news without substance, "I told you a long time ago, if you don't drive those monsters back to hell, it's not good news!"

"Haha, I know, I know, but this time it's really good news......! Those monsters have been driven back to the depths of Zhongzhou by the righteous army, and the periphery of Zhongzhou is guarded by several major races, and it is estimated that those monsters will never come out. Aru told all the news in one go, for fear that a pause would be interrupted by Lao Wen.

After Lao Wen heard the news of Aru in one go, he looked at him in a daze, and he was a little uncomfortable to show Aru.

It's been two years, and every time the news comes, he is full of expectations, looking forward to the city lord returning with glory and returning to an ordinary life. But every time it is innocuous news, and the return date is far away. Gradually, he lost any interest in this kind of news, and now when the belated good news finally arrived, his eyes were already filled with tears.

"Really, well, well, finally this day has come, and my old bones have not suffered in vain. Old Wen's cheeks trembled uncontrollably.

Looking at his partner's excited appearance, Aru couldn't help but be moved. "Yes, you and I are both warriors of the Terran race, and now that everyone in the city knows the good news, everyone is celebrating in a carnival, and we will go back early and have a good drink. ”

As soon as he heard Aru say that he wanted to drink a few cups, Lao Wen suddenly became interested. In addition, after hearing such exciting news, he should drink and talk happily, he didn't want to waste this good time at this bare gate, rubbed his stiff hands and walked towards the city with a smile on his face.

At this time, the sky was darker, and a ray of sunlight behind the two stretched their figures. The light reflected on the rusty iron sword on the ground, and it was extremely sharp.

As soon as he entered the city, Lao Wen almost didn't recognize that this was Qingyun City, which he left this morning. It's really lively, this kind of scene Lao Wen hasn't seen for a long time, I remember that the last time I celebrated like this was three years ago to celebrate the successful promotion of the young city lord to the king. Lao Wen has remembered that scene for the rest of his life, the crowd of thousands of ordinary people, the shining armor of the human elite, and the "Dragon Tongue Sword" in the hands of the young city lord that is said to be made of ancient flame steel. But the most shocking thing is the black dragon "Black Knight" beside the young city lord. The dragon was huge, with black scales like a piece of black armor draped over its body, a huge head with countless dragon whiskers as hard as an iron whip, teeth as sharp as a sword, and two eyes as if they could breathe fire. Lao Wen just glanced at it a few times outside the crowd, which was enough for him to brag to his old friends for a lifetime.

Now seeing such a grand occasion again, Lao Wen couldn't help but sigh: "It's been two years, the original kid should have become more handsome and stronger, right?" He hurriedly looked at Aru next to him, only to realize that he was too worried. Aru was already immersed in the celebratory atmosphere, not noticing what he said.

The happy times are always like arrows, but the painful years are like years. Lao Wen smiled bitterly and then enjoyed this long-lost carnival with his clansmen, and was destined to be sleepless tonight.

The morning is slightly cool, and the grass and trees on the roadside are dancing with new dew.

On the Beiyuan Road (Note 3), a group of nearly 10,000 people are rushing to Qingyun City, and as far as the eye can see, this team of nearly 10,000 people forms a magnificent long dragon on the Beiyuan Road.

The large team included not only the warriors of Qingyun City, but also the three tribal branches of the Terrans (note 4) and another family with the bloodline of the dragon, the capital of the herdsmen.

At the end of the line are the giants, who are generally half a body taller than ordinary terrans. They are born with divine powers, and their skin is as hard as their clan motto says, "Brave as a stone." But the part above the neck is much more fragile in comparison, and their slow movement is also their fatal weakness. Walking in the middle of the giants' ranks is the leader of the giants, Tyke, known as the "Rock Giant". Tyke looked a head taller than the other giants, his expression was majestic, muscular, and his hard brown skin was scarred enough to show the cruelty of war.

The giants are preceded by the Dwarves and the Hunters, both of whom are known for their wild and fierce nature. The dwarven banner is flanked by two crossed hatchets, which are also their weapons. The dwarves are an aggressive race, they have a fiery temper, and "those who commit crimes must be killed" is their motto. Although they are not that tall, they are fast and explosive, and no one wants to be their enemy, because if you don't pay attention, they may jump up and slam an axe at the artery in your neck, biting the neck of your prey like a cheetah. The leader of the dwarves is O'Hari, known as the "Cheetah of the West Wild", and at this time O'Hari is chatting with his lieutenant about something, and the two sharp axes behind his back are clean and can be used as mirrors, but no one knows how many souls have died under the axe.

The Hunters are a hunting race in the West Wild. They are agile and light, with eyes as sharp as eagles, and often roam the places where prey are infested. They have the ability to communicate with birds and beasts, and hunters with their own guardian beasts are called hunters. Their guardian beasts are the spirits of birds, the kings of beasts, and they are fierce, but they are loyal to their masters to death. Their motto is "All beasts are friends". The leader of the Hunters is Hansent, nicknamed "Father Bear", and the nickname is derived from his guardian beast, the wolf bear. According to legend, the wolf bear is a heterogeneous species mated by a she-wolf and a bear king, and there is basically no possibility of survival, but once it does, it will not die easily. In front of the wolf bear, all wolves and bears will bow their heads, and it is said that the power of a century-old wolf and bear is comparable to that of a swimming dragon, which shows its might.

At the front of the line were the Terrans from the Northern Cloud City and the Eastern Pastoral Capital. Among them, the Terrans of Qingyun City wore black and red armor, while the Pastoral Capital used dark green as the color of their armor. The two colors are mixed together intersecting, and the colors are colorful. Most of the soldiers were immersed in the joy of returning home, chatting and laughing along the way.

"Hey, Willy, why did you say that the city lord brought those barbarians back to the main city?" In the corner of the Terran ranks, a Terran soldier in red armor stared at the tribal Terran with disgust, while riding leisurely on his horse, and asked his companion with a shallow smile.

"The female healers in this pastoral capital are all as beautiful as flowers and have plump bodies, even if they don't let me touch them, just look at me and be content. ”

Seeing that his partner didn't say anything, the soldier's squinting eyes turned to the group of female healers in dark green dresses in front of him.

"Harry, remember to protect your tongue before talking about others, don't finish talking until you find out that your tongue has been taken away. Look at those beasts in the sky, they are not ordinary eagles, but the guardian beasts of the hunters. Not only are they fast, their claws are as sharp as knives, but they can understand what you're saying. Even if they take your tongue off, they won't blame their owners. Willy looked at the beast hovering in the air, kindly reminding Harry.

Harry listened to his partner's words and looked to the sky. Sure enough, there were several birds several times larger than the eagle circling in the sky, and they were so frightened that their backs were cold, and they hurriedly covered their mouths with their hands.

Willy smiled disdainfully at Harry's antics at this point.

Harry was an alcoholic, and spent his days in brothels in addition to drinking and bragging. If there is no war, it is estimated that he will only die drunk on the belly of a woman. Willy is different, Willy's family is rich, his father is a well-known businessman in the city, and Willy has been interested in the historiography of the Five States since he was a child. He liked to learn about the customs and histories of the various ethnic groups, and his ambition was to become a scholar of the world's fame like Bodoll (note 5).

This is how the war brought everyone together. Eat, sleep together, live together, whatever you used to be.

"Don't underestimate those tribal warriors, if it weren't for the giants, dwarves and hunters rushing in front, would we be able to kill so 'bravely' in the back?" Willy said self-deprecatingly, "Besides, after the victory of the war, go to the main city of the most powerful Terran to celebrate and compete and select the bravest Terran warriors to award the title of hero, which is a tradition of the Terran for thousands of years. ”

Harry knew that he was not as knowledgeable as Willy, so he kept silent. But when he thought about it, it was true, they were not real soldiers, they had only been drafted because of the outbreak of war. In the Battle of Zhongzhou, most of the real Terran warriors and those "barbarians" rushed to the front, and he just looked at the corpses lying on the ground from behind, and if there was still a breath, he would stab the heart with a sharp sword, which was almost beating, which was nothing to be proud of.

"Hurry up, we're all behind the line. Willie saw that Harry was no longer talking, and that he had no intention of preaching him, and gently pinched the horse's belly. He just wanted to get back to the city as soon as possible, for fear his books would have fallen into a thick dust.

In a blink of an eye, the sky darkened, and although there was only one day left, the city lord sent an order, and everyone rested and reorganized.

The long dragon of nearly 10,000 people instantly turned into a fire dragon. The team was brightly lit, and every few soldiers gathered around a campfire, roasting game, singing, listening to each other's stories of war and hunting, and thinking of the women who were waiting in the house.

Sometimes the feeling of happiness is that the waiting for a distant place is getting closer and closer.

Note 1: In the world of dragons, "dragons" originally referred to a guardian race, and ancient legends say that the world of dragons is guarded by five "dragons" and derives all things. The five dragon diagrams are Dong Juyan, Blue Luodi, Green Phantom Wind, White into the Sky, and Black Rakshasa. Thousands of years have passed, and the five guardian dragon figures have long since disappeared, and the dragon clan is now only regarded as an untamable creature, and in the dragon diagram world, only the human race can control the dragon. According to the ability of the dragon and the number of years it has survived, it is divided into: dragon-like, swimmer-like, withered dragon, and ancient dragon.

Note 2: In the Dragon Diagram world, there are human races, such as the Terrans, the Yilong Race, the Phantom Race, the Half-Beast Race, the Elven Race, the Dark Golem Race, the Demon Rock Race, etc., and each race has different branches. In the Zhongzhou War, the "Righteous Division" was composed of the Terrans, the Yilong Clan, the Phantom Clan, the Half-Beast Clan, the Elven Clan, etc., against the "Dark Alliance" composed of the Dark Golem Clan, the Demon Rock Clan, etc.

Note 3: The Beiyuan Road refers to the only way from the other two Terran gathering places "Wild West Wild" and "Pastoral Capital" to Qingyun City. The capital of the pasture is located in the east of the source of life, the second largest main city of the human race.

NOTE 4: The Terran branch refers to a race that belongs to the Terran but differs from the pure Terran in blood and physical strength. There are giants, dwarves, and hunters, and these three tribes mainly live in the western wilderness, the source of life, and the wild western wilderness.

NOTE 5: Bodor is a scholar at the University of Qingyun City. A scholar is a person who is knowledgeable, well-read, and well-versed in all races. A scholar is the term given to a scholar after he or she has reached a certain level.
