Chapter 9: Hill City

As soon as Roddy came up, he punched the bald man in the chest. Laughed:

"General Cuarón, your wounds heal quickly. ”

This big man was none other than the legion commander of the day, Caron. One of his arms was still gauze, and he had an extra scar on his face that stretched from the corner of his eye to his lips. After shaving his hair, his round head became brighter, but with the experience of the last time, coupled with the new injury on his face, he looked a little angry.

There was a hint of reluctance in Cuarón's eyes. He knew that if it weren't for Roddy's appearance that day, he would have turned into a pile of bones. But now standing here, it's an order from the military department... Thinking of this, Caron smiled dryly and said:

"Roddy, you... Are you alright?"

"It's okay, I'm not standing here. Roddy patted Caron on the shoulder, maybe they had fought together in blood, Roddy had a kind of affection for Caron, but at this time and place, Caron naturally had an inevitable embarrassment when he faced him again. Roddy smiled lightly and said:

"You're here today to pick me up and take me to the military headquarters, right?"

"Hmm... It's "Cuarón said bitterly.

"Okay. Roddy looked at Caron and said, "Don't think about anything else, your standing here today means that I will definitely get out of this trip to the military headquarters." Otherwise, the military headquarters would not have sent you. ”

"But... It's all because of me, you—" Cuarón's voice choked up. It's okay to let him go into battle to kill the enemy, but let him hand over Roddy to the military department in person, he really can't do it.

Cuarón was a perfect speculator, and in this incident, he was deprived of his position as commander of the 17th Corps and demoted to the Knights of the Griffins as a squad leader on charges of miscommand.

However, he knew that even if he was really allowed to survive in the 17th Corps for the rest of his life, he would only be an idle corps commander. Although they have been demoted now, the Griffin Knights are the special legions of the Alliance after all, and they can get many more opportunities here than they did in the Seventeenth Corps.

However, his first mission is to lead his team here to escort Roddy to Hill City. He had been fighting all the way in his heart, and now he felt even more guilty when he saw Roddy.

Mr. Gan looked at all this coldly and said nothing.

"Let's go. Roddy looked at Caron again, and then said lightly:

"Just as you're here, I have a request. ”

"You say. There was a certain eagerness in Cuarón's disgraced eyes.

Luo Di pointed to Mr. Gan and the little girl Nuno behind him, and said in an unquestioning tone, "This is my teacher and his students, I need you to bring them to Hill City as well." ”

“... Okay" Cuarón gritted his teeth and nodded heavily...

A few griffons soared quickly in the blue sky, layers of white clouds were constantly left behind, and the griffon's huge wings spread out, gliding hundreds of meters in the air, and its mouth let out a fierce hiss. A flock of geese flew by, and they were immediately frightened by this group of monsters and flew around, if the knights hadn't tied the griffons' beaks earlier, I am afraid that this group of geese would have become the griffons' lunch.

Roddy was riding on a griffin, his grip on the reins tight, the wind overwhelming. It was the first time he had ridden this kind of flying beast, but fortunately, the griffin was a social animal, as long as the leading griffin piloted, the griffon behind would have followed steadily, otherwise Caron would not have let Roddy ride a griffin himself.

Little Lorino and Mr. Gan also each rode a griffin, Mr. Gan was dressed in white all his life, constantly dancing in the wind, and a pinch of white beard on his chin was also fluttering, he half-squinted his eyes, thinking of a living fairy. And little Lorino is not honest, one will point at the wild geese and scream, the other will let go of the reins in his hand, waving his little hand in the blue sky and white clouds, and scared Luo Di into a cold sweat.

The leader of the group was Caron's big bald head, the back of his head reflecting the light, and the griffin gliding steadily through the sky under his control. Couldn't help but make Roddy behind him a little surprised: this Caron is really a character, he has never seen a griffin before, and now he can still control this flying mount with an arm injury.

Cuarón explained to him on the previous journey, including how he was interrogated by the military department, how he was transferred from his post, how he joined the Griffin Knights, Roddy didn't take it seriously, Caron's guilt himself felt indifferent, and now Caron said too much to him and made him feel a little uncomfortable. In the end, Cuaron still explained the meaning of the military department to Roddy, and then reluctantly rode the griffin to lead the team.

After crossing the Kingalen River, there is a vast eastern plain, which is different from the grasslands. It's full of crowded towns and farmland. Occasionally, there are a few small hills, sparsely growing with a few large trees, and some roads are paved around these hills, leading in all directions and pointing into the distance.

Flying farther away, Roddy noticed that the sky was a little gray, and the corner of the sky was now covered by a huge dark cloud, like a huge black monster.

"That's the city of bhikshus. Mr. Gan came closer at some point, and he squinted his eyes, unable to see what his expression was at this time

"It's surrounded by volcanic ash all year round, and it's a dead land. If you can see the city of bhikkhus, it means that the city of hills is about to arrive. ”

Roddy nodded, the closer he got to Hill City, the more apprehensive he became, and he showed a look of indifference on the road, including at Bray Fortress, but this was only to hide the uneasiness in his heart. Even though he had thought about everything, this uneasiness that came from his heart surrounded him like a nightmare....

Hill City got closer and closer, and Roddy saw a dark shadow gradually appear. He finally knew why Machu City had been renamed Hillhill City. From a distance, he saw that three huge black towers stood out!! frozen in the distance under the entire sky, and even the oblique sunlight shattered the giant tower at this time, and the three giant towers were like mountains, frozen in this vast plain!!

"It's... Be... How... Built..."Roddy's eyes were only shocked, this majestic city didn't seem to be as small as he imagined, at least, it had to be the size of eight Bray Fortresses!!!The closer it gets, the three giant towers become more and more obvious, the two low ones are slightly higher in the middle, and there are many platforms connected to the bottom of the whole tower, especially the middle one, which is clearly accumulated by a magical palace!!

At this moment, there was a distant sound of water surging in Roddy's ears, and a large river was sparkling, and it began to flow downward around the spire of the very center, and finally divided into eight torrents under the tower, rushing out from the eight huge city gate holes!

Caron rode at the front, the first to see Hill City, and a glint appeared in his eyes. I saw him pull the reins fiercely, and the leading griffin flickered its wings a few times and stopped steadily in the air. The other griffons immediately flapped their wings and immediately stopped in the air.

Then Caron took out a silver iron ball in his arms, and as soon as the small iron ball was taken out, it immediately popped out two wings and flew towards Mountain City like a meteor. I only heard a loud noise in the city, like the muffled roar of an ancient beast, and a black platform stretched out from the tower on that side!

Caron turned around, and it was afternoon, and Roddy had his back to the sun, and he looked in amazement at the miraculous majestic city in front of him, when he heard Caron shout loudly:

"Roddy, welcome to Hill City!"
