Chapter 5: Fierce Fight in Suiyang City (Part II)

The "Spiral Trident" defeated the three shields, and then was consumed by the fourth shield, the orange-red light turned into countless points of light and dissipated into the air, and the enemy's formation was not chaotic at all, and quickly retreated in the direction of Suiyang City." Concentrate your firepower and leave one!" At Elliott's command, the Stewart siblings rained down a barrage of bullets, and the silver snake arrows of the grasshoppers in the rain of bullets shot out, bypassing the bright yellow shield of light like a living thing, and piercing the thigh of the last enemy with a pop.

"Hmm......" A muffled snort came, and the injured man fell to the ground, only a moment later, he had been left far behind by his companions, and the rest of the people did not look back at all, still maintaining a neat formation and flying away, looking like a strange lifeform with seven heads and fourteen feet.

The dark shadow condensed behind the enemy, and the shiny blade appeared at his neck, and the skin was gently cut. Blood flowed down the blade, and the woman who emerged from the shadows whispered in his ear, "Don't move, or you'll ......"

"Be careful!" Suddenly, a thick vine burst through the ground, curling Ryuhime's waist and lifting it into the air. Just as the Rose Knight used botanical magic to push the Oriental woman away, a beam of flying light exploded in the wounded's chest, shattering the man's entire body. Limbs and internal organs flew all over the sky, and blood was sprinkled like a red shower.

The flames of the prairie gradually extinguished, and the companions standing on the scorched earth looked at each other, "Look, the lame Henry should be fine." Danny blew away the light smoke from the muzzle of the magic pistol and pointed to the sky. Sure enough, a huge star, much dimmer, rose into the sky again, and disappeared into the clouds in a flash. Although the damage is severe, as long as the genius steam puppeteer is present, the airship will soon be able to recover from its original state. Jonah finally relented and patted his chest.

Elliott reached out his riding gun and picked up a severed limb: "Look at this tattoo, Lord Jonah. ”

"It's them. The crimson double-headed bird tattoo is a member of the Red Brotherhood that's right. The astrologer forcibly looked at it with disgust, nodded in affirmation, the pattern on the scorched black wrist was very familiar to him, but he didn't expect that just after coming to the Eastern Continent, a maggot-like member of the Brotherhood appeared in front of him.

"If you have time, you need to think hard about what the Brotherhood is for. The Rose Knight said thoughtfully, "They should have received information that His Excellency Jonah had come to the Eastern Continent, so they launched an ambush on the airship, but due to the terrain, the enemy did not see the airship land outside Suiyang City, and only launched an attack when the 'Lame Henry' swept over the city. If we were still on board...... Disastrous. ”

"When did you start messing with such troublesome opponents?" Danny said, raising an eyebrow, "I knew it was so dangerous to follow you, so I might as well reassess the feasibility of staying with cutie...... Oops!"

The current head of Stewart's family cut off his brother's nonsense, picked up the big gun and asked, "Where are we going now?"

The Stuart siblings and Sibi looked at the young astrologer together, and Jonah scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. All along, he played a passive role, being led by his partners, enemies, prophecies, and listeners to one destination after another, but now it was his turn to make his own decisions, and the vast eastern continent spread out in front of him, and for a moment Jonah couldn't even say a direction. "Uh, find a place to live in the city?" he said hesitantly.

"Even though I'm very worried about you. Elliott sighed and hooked the rifle back to the hook at the unicorn's side, "But we have to go." Miss Ryuhime?"

The Oriental woman took a silent step, her feet touching a slippery piece of flesh, and her movements stopped. The woman turned slightly, facing in the direction of the center of the world, with a confused expression on her face. To her left is a wide field, at the end of the field is a thunderstorm and a frenzied river, on the other side of the river is the war-torn continent, in the war-torn continent there is the man she has been thinking about for a long time, and on her right is the silent ancient city Suiyang, the city under the starlight looks majestic and cold, I don't know how many unknown dangers are hidden in it. Between the two opposite signs, stood the pale boy in a blue robe, the weather-beaten young man had an adult's resolute look on his face, but his eyes were still full of childlike reluctance.

"Eli, we ...... I'll go again tomorrow. Ryuhime whispered.

"Of course, Miss Ryuji. As if waiting for this order, the blonde knight bowed and took off his helmet and smiled. "Sister Long Ji!" Sibi jumped over and hugged the Oriental woman, the little grasshopper had long wanted to beg the two partners to stay and not leave, but she knew that this dear sister's unexcusable demons would sooner or later separate them, and staying for one more day was already a gift.

"So, Eli, where are we going now?" the 17-year-old let out a long breath, not daring to look into Ryuhime's eyes, and lowered his head to secretly wipe the sweat from his palms with the corner of his clothes.

The Rose Knight had already made a decision, and stretched out his hand to the northeast: "There, let's go to the tower 'Lizhu'." ”

The night was silent, and the enemy did not reappear. Not far from the grassland, a fragmented corpse appeared beside the road, "Sure enough. Elliot was not surprised, "There will be no single victim in the Theban Holy Ranks, and once a member dies, his companion must also leave the team, which means death." ”

Jonah had mixed feelings, and he missed them so much. Previously, when he was in Cherry Crossing, no matter what problems he faced, the Rose Knight could give accurate answers with his wealth of knowledge and extraordinary experience, the Knight of the Flowing Lang is not very old, Jonah doesn't know where he learned so much, maybe the ancient bloodline of the King of the Red Plains has never lacked the inheritance of knowledge. "Eli, what the hell is the Theban Saints?" the astrologer asked calmly, a term that was unfamiliar to him and the rest of his companions.

"How can I say it? The Rose Knight gave a rare look of embarrassment: "The Theban Holy Army is an ancient legend of the Ebenezer Republic on the Western Continent, and several centuries ago, the Ebenezer people invented this attack formation of three hundred people, and won many victories in the wars of the Western Continent. The principle is to arrange the formation in a perfect circle, with the outermost members with the strongest offensive and defensive strength, and the internal is responsible for long-range attack and command, and when it comes into contact with the enemy, the formation will roll up and crush the enemy formation like a wheel. To accomplish this, there must be a high level of chemistry among the team members, and Ebenezer's solution is ...... The three-hundred-man Theban Holy Team consisted of one hundred and fifty couples. ”

"Half of them are women?" Jonah said.

Danny suddenly laughed: "Whahahaha, you are too simple cargo friend, I believe that the knight brother is talking about one hundred and fifty pairs of gay lovers, right? The love between men and men is an unbreakable bond, and this holy team is really good!"

Elliott affirmed, "Mr. Danny is right. That's it, the tacit understanding between same-sex couples is amazing. However, in modern times, the Ebenezer dynasty was overthrown by revolutionaries, and the Left Liberation Army established the Ebenezer Republic, which became one of the most hard-line anti-gay countries in the entire Western Continent, and before the war began, the republic basically executed hundreds of gay couples every year. This is the reason why Omicron Dongma and Sigma Tree Snake of Cherry Ferry fled the Republic, and may their souls rest in Heaven. ”

"The atmosphere in the Southern Continent is completely different. If they were born in the Southern Continent, would they still be living happily in one place now? Thinking of these two men who sacrificed themselves in the miracle steppe, the astrologer couldn't help but sigh, "And the enemy encountered today applied the principle of the Theban Holy Legion to complete this formation with only eight people, showing good strength. In the East, this formation may have another name. In any case, if one of the soldiers in the Array dies, his companion must be expelled, as that would affect the operation of the entire Array. That's about it. The Rose Knight concluded.

"It's good to have you, Eli. Jonah spoke suddenly.

Elliott smiled warmly.

As they spoke, the group bypassed the ancient city of Suiyang and walked towards the tower on the east side of the city. As the distance shortened, it became clear that the tower, "Wow, you can't see the head!" Sibi tried to look up, but he couldn't see the spire.

"Do you remember that Daddy Dead told us the story of the Tower of Babel?" Danny suddenly turned to his sister beside him.

"Yes. Hannah replied thoughtfully, "That was when we were very young." He said that there are six great countries in the East, and each country has a huge tower that is so high that you can't see the top clearly, and no one knows who built these towers, and from the day of the birth of history, the towers have stood in this mysterious continent, wars, disasters, and regime changes, which are insignificant games for the towers. Legend has it that at the top of each tower there is a weapon that contains the soul of a mythical beast, and once someone climbs to the top of the tower and takes the weapon, the giant beast sealed underground by the six towers of Babel will be resurrected and destroy the entire world. ”

"Ahaha, that's right, yes, you remember it so clearly, ruining the whole world, hahaha...... Hey, hey, hey...... Hehe...... Hmm...... "The man of the Stewart family laughed loudly, but the laughter gradually faded in the cold gaze of the Oriental woman, and finally became a snort in his mouth.

"Don't underestimate the legends. Long Ji said without emotion, "Many legends are true, but self-righteous adults choose not to believe them." The six towers of Babel really hold the secrets of the world. ”
