Chapter 106: The Opened Ruins (Part II)
"Whew!" the flying beast swayed its massive body lightly, and around it, all kinds of buildings fell like collapsed building blocks, and then were swept into a frenzied explosion.
There is no need to do anything out of the way, and its very existence represents an unstoppable natural disaster. Born out of the storm, it is the darling of the wind, a terrible and powerful destroyer.
After easily leveling the northern part of the city, the terrifying storm dragon began to advance southward, flying over the ancient ruins of the three towers, mischievously circling the three towers several times before flicking its tail and flying along the edge of the tornado it was born to the southernmost part of the city.
"Boom!" The unbridled destruction began again, just as it had done in the north, starting from the great tornado that connected heaven and earth, and all the man-made structures collapsed under its force, and then were completely crumbled into pieces by the raging winds.
If the monsters that come from the ground bring fear to humans, the arrival of the Storm Dragon brings utter despair.
At the very least, a team with enough force and equipment can inflict damage on those monsters, or even destroy them outright. But in the face of this elemental dragon descending from the storm, even the tribal warriors who were not even afraid of death showed blank eyes.
This creature has gone beyond what can be defeated with weapons and equipment, and in the face of this mythical creature, even if the human race gathers a hundred thousand, a million in number, is completely vulnerable. The vacuum effect created by the Storm Dragon alone was enough to bury an army of millions.
In the settlement of the tribes, on the altar covered with white bones, an old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face like the dead bark of an old tree looked at the approaching storm dragon, then shook his head and gave the last order.
"Retreat, warriors, and take the bones of your ancestors, for this place will not be able to defend against this lord's attack. ”
"But what is there to stop this lord now? "Because of the tribal region's natural reverence for many magical creatures, when the storm dragon, who is like the darling of the wind, appears, they do not see it as the same thing as those underground monsters, but instead use honorific titles.
Learning to revere is the way of survival that has been passed down since ancient times in this southern land.
"The church, where there is the only one who can speak to this adult on an equal footing. The old man waved the bone staff in his hand, and the skeletal mouth of the staff opened as if to mock the powerlessness of the humans.
"Yes!" the ordered tribal soldiers gathered up the bones around the altar as quickly as they could, and no one even glanced at the gold and silver that adorned the walls.
As the last little finger bone around the altar was carefully tucked away, the closed gate of the tribal settlement fell to the ground, and the heavily armed tribal soldiers protected their elders as fast as they could towards the brightened part of the city.
On the other hand, the president of the mercenary union also made the exact same decision.
"What the hell is that, Storm Dragon? What kind of ghost dragon did you come out of!" The head of the mercenary union with a pair of big axes scolded the huge creature in the sky while organizing many mercenary groups and scattered free mercenaries to retreat to the church of the Southern Church.
In the middle of this somewhat chaotic ranks, were a dozen merchants carried on their backs by strong orc warriors. They usually pamper themselves and even have to sit in a comfortable carriage when they go out, but at this moment, they can only endure the unpleasant body odor and bumpy pace of the orc warriors, and many of them are already pale and about to vomit.
But at this time, they didn't care so much, even if the orc warriors under them ran faster, the more disgusting they became, but they still kept asking to speed up.
"Run!"
"Quick, quicker, whoever takes me to the church first I'll pay a hundred gold coins.
"Don't lag behind, I'll give one hundred and fifty, take us to church quickly!"
At the critical moment of life and death, even the most angry businessmen became generous, and the remuneration reported became higher and higher.
After hearing the reward offered by the merchants, the orc warriors carrying them on their backs were stunned at first, and then looked at each other, their eyes shining.
Most of the orc warriors who will cross half the continent to come to the south to serve as mercenaries are true warriors who want to feed their families and keep their tribe's children from starving. They endured uncomfortable hot and humid weather, unintelligible tribal dialects, and desperately hunted demonic beasts, just to earn an extra gold coin or two.
The orc kingdom produces so little food that it is impossible to feed the children of all the tribes. For the sake of the children of their own clan, for the sake of their offspring, they dare to take on the most dangerous jobs, and they can go to the most dangerous places for ten gold coins.
So, after hearing the high remuneration offered by the merchants, these simple orc warriors went crazy. In front of so many mercenary groups, even if it is just a verbal number, there is no time to make a formal mercenary contract, and the remuneration reported by the merchants will never dare not be honored.
After looking at each other, the orc warriors of the entire mercenary team suddenly exchanged the merchants on their backs. Without exception, they were all stronger, older merchants with constant crying on their backs.
As true warriors, they despise such weak humans, but as qualified mercenaries, they will unreservedly use all their strength to protect them. Unlike the human mercenaries who often break the contract, the simple orcs don't have the word "betrayal" in their minds.
"Ready!" Under the command of one of the tallest bear orc warriors, all the orc warriors with people on their backs tensed their muscles, and their huge blood vessels almost burst.
"Collective beast, sprint!" In a roar, the orc warriors carrying people on their backs all performed their beast transformation skills.
This kind of talent, which can increase the ability of the orc race by three times in a short period of time, and give different individuals different special abilities, is a racial talent that is as famous as the human treasure summoning and the flower of life of the fairy race. In the realm below level seven, the orc warriors who have unleashed this beast transformation ability are almost invincible at the same level.
However, the advantages and disadvantages of this ability are just as obvious, and when the time for the beast transformation is over, there will be extremely severe fatigue and overdraft. If you encounter an enemy at this time, you can basically only wait for death.
And at this moment, this legendary ability is being used only to make it faster, even regardless of what will happen to you after using it.
"Roar!roar!" The dozen or so orc warriors who had performed the beast transformation showed signs of their bodies swelling to varying degrees, and the hands and feet of the strongest of them even turned into real beast forms.
With three times their strength and speed, they instantly broke out of the protective circle of the team, and rushed to the church that still radiated light in the darkness.
"Bang, bang!" All the monsters in their way were trampled to death, kicked and smashed by them.
This is the courage of the orcs, and it is also their pride, what they want is not money, but hope, the hope that the descendants of their own race will thrive.
Elsewhere, all the survivors are desperately trying to make their way to the church. Because of the arrival of the Storm Dragon, the originally extremely dangerous underground species began to retreat into the ruins like a tide, and only a few were still greedily trying to eat people.
This is the moment when they seize the last glimmer of hope.
Young people, middle-aged people, old people, children, all running for the last glimmer of hope at this moment. When the unfortunate encounter with the remaining monsters, the old man and the middle-aged man will stand up without hesitation and use their thin bodies to block the cannibalistic monsters, leaving the children behind them with the hope of escaping at the end.
Monsters from the underground don't kill their prey for boring purposes, all they need is food. After this surname was known, it immediately spread.
They don't have the strength of orc warriors to break through monsters, so they can only use this tragic method to protect their offspring. As the monsters from underground gulped down the food that had been delivered to them, the survivors rushed to their final shelter with tears in their eyes.
............ In the dark corners of the city, a dozen black-robed men were counting what their church had gained during the turmoil.
In front of them were dozens of black mist monsters that had been slain by Yulia, and beside these monsters, there were more human corpses. Now, the corpses are being slowly dragged deep underground by the Black Mist Monsters. On the ground, there were shocking blood marks one after another.
These unfortunate people did not die in the earthquake where the ruins rose, and did not die in the mouths of the monsters, but they died at the hands of the black-robed people, who were also humans, and were killed in the most cruel way. On their faces, there are still expressions of pain and fear before death, and many people do not close their eyes until they die.
"Fortunately, we finally collected enough materials, and the monsters that came out of these ruins really helped us a lot. ”
"That's right, if so many people are missing in normal times, you can't hide it. The experiments in the meeting have reached the final level, and the materials needed are ten times as high as before, and I am still worried about how to get enough to report to the sect leader. ”
"We've gathered enough materials, and we should go back to the ruins. No matter what happens to him outside, it won't affect us. ”
"That monster is not far from us, tell the Black Mist Demons to hurry up, we can't go to church. ”
"Shhh
