Chapter 4: Fierce Battle Suiyang City
Jonah had no clue how to complete the instructions of the listeners, "Rendezvous with his companions, go to the east, and follow the traces of the seal of the gods, which is necessary to complete the ritual", where to start? The sign of the gods is a powerful force that can change the fate of a family or a nation, and it is impossible to simply appear in a weapon shop on the corner. But now that Siracuna was in her hands, with Adinmont at her waist and Kirigala around her neck, Jonah felt empowered, even though she couldn't invoke the true power of the artifact.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Henry, we say goodbye, and if you come across a situation about Mr. Coshavet in the course of your travels around the world, please let me know, please......" Jonah bowed deeply to the old gentleman, and Elliott, Dragon, Sibi, Danny, Hannah, and the companions also expressed their respect and gratitude to the owner of the airship.
"Of course. Don't thank me, I really enjoy being around young people like you. Signal me when you see an airship passing through the sky, and old Henry is always ready to welcome you. The lame Henry bowed back, stood on the side of the boat on crutches, and smiled as he watched his guests step off the gangplank.
The feeling of standing on the earth again is very strange, the flight of the "Lame Henry" is very smooth, but after all, the person is more accustomed to the solid touch of Mother Earth. The astrologer had taken a shower, changed into Danny's clothes to be washed and dried, and had two full meals, feeling in great shape and ready for a new adventure. But he never dared to look directly at the oriental woman beside him, and Long Ji always stood aside depressedly and did not speak to anyone.
"Snort" Countless columns of white smoke erupted, the earth shook, blades of grass flew, the huge airship began to rise slowly, and the small silhouette ......of the old gentleman waving his hand could be seen on the side of the ship. The companions waved at the venerable steam puppeteer until the airship turned into a bright point of light in the night sky and began to move north.
"So......" said the Rosenkavalier in one of Jonah's most feared words, "we are leaving, Lord Jonah." ”
"Eli, do you really want us to accompany you back to the South? I think I can help......" the 17-year-old asked in a depressed voice, clenching his staff.
"No, you have your own mission and should not run away from your own destiny for our selfishness. Elliott smiled like a sunny smile, "Now that we know the exact location of that person, it shouldn't be difficult to find him, and when everything is done, we will escort Miss Ryuki back to you, and we swear by the name of the knight." ”
Jonah sighed and looked at the silhouette of the ancient city of Suiyang in the distance: "I know, then, let's separate here, Eli." Ryuji, I'm ......"
The Oriental woman still did not speak, turned around and walked south, her lonely back gradually fading, as if she was about to melt into the lonely starlight. The Rose Knight struck his breastplate with his fist armor with a loud clang, then buckled his helmet and urged the beast to chase after the dragon queen. The unicorn chirped, cast reluctant glances at Jonah and Sibby, and galloped into the field.
"Sister Longji, Eli ......" The grasshopper sniffed and put his arms around Jonah.
Hannah Stewart suddenly spoke, "I finally see the Oriental woman in your mouth." I'm sorry I had to part with her, Jonah. ”
The astrologer's eyes followed the figures of the two companions, "Yes, Hannah. I hate separation. ”
"Me too. Hannah whispered, trying to reach out to soothe Jonah's shoulder, but the arm was raised and then withdrawn, and the red cloak rattled in the night wind.
"Wait a minute!" Danny suddenly roared, pulling out the magic pistol "Summer White Sakura" from his arms and starting to charge, "Look at the sky!"
The man of the Stewart family stretched out his hand and pointed to the north, the bright star directly above the ancient city of Suiyang was the brightly lit "Lame Henry", but the mutation happened, one after another silent flames burst out in the lower part of the airship, the bright yellow fireball was bright and dark, the lights on the airship were extinguished one by one, and the flight attitude became crooked, it can be seen that the old gentleman is doing his best to raise the airship, but the attack from below is too fierce, and before it gets out of the attack range, the "Lame Henry" will be blown to pieces!
The sound of hooves came from far and near, the rose knight galloped with a strong wind, bright green light rose from the tip of the unicorn's horns, and green ripples spread out against the ground, "The attack is from outside Suiyang City, about seven or eight people, a distance of 1,200 yards to the northeast!" Elliot used the botanical magic "Dadao Landmark" to detect the enemy's position, and took on the responsibility of the battlefield commander: "Miss Sibi sit behind me, we will now do the first wave of high-speed raids, Miss Hannah, Lord Danny is supporting from both flanks, Miss Longji and Lord Jonah are advancing head-on, and the airship can only hold out for a minute at most, and the primary goal is to attract enemy fire, understand?"
"Understood!" the partners replied in unison. Even the Stuart siblings unreservedly trusted the command of the Rosenkavalier, for the wise knight had shown his excellent leadership skills and keen battlefield insight more than once, and was a natural battlefield commander.
The purple amplification magic enveloped the four hooves of the unicorn, and the snow-white holy beast turned into a white lightning bolt that shot through the grassland, and Sibi grabbed the saddle and jumped up, "Be careful, brother! Sister Longji!" The voice was still echoing, and the figure of the little grasshopper had turned into a small silhouette in the distance with the knight.
"Let's go!" Jonah turned on the "Defense", "Floating", and "Swift" magic arrays, and sped away in the direction Elliot had indicated. The Stuart siblings scattered left and right with their guns, and Ryuki followed behind the astrologer, her curvaceous figure in a black bodysuit flickering in the night.
"You've gotten stronger. The Oriental woman suddenly spoke.
"Yes, yes?" Jonah didn't know what to say.
The "Lame Henry" in the sky had already begun to fall slowly, and suddenly the bright yellow fire became sparse, and the airship staggered and stabilized its posture and began to climb with all its might. The sound of swords clashing and shouting could be heard from under the dark gray walls of the ancient city of Suiyang, and it was obvious that the Rose Knight had disrupted the enemy's position and temporarily relieved the threat of the airship.
"In the name of Sadi, the King of Ice...... Secret Arrow, Two-Headed Snake!" Sibi's elven archery reappeared in the Eastern Continent, two long arrows, one red and one blue, rose vertically, and then quickly landed on the ground, turning into two circular trajectories with opposite directions and staggered paths, and the double-headed spiral finally merged into one, and a series of explosions of "Boom Boom Boom Boom ......" unfolded along the spiral curve, turning the battlefield into a sea of fire.
When Jonah and Ryuki arrived, the battle situation became very chaotic, the grassland was burning, Elliot raised his large shield and charged through the enemy line again and again, and the grasshopper shot long arrows like rain behind him, leaving the enemy with no time to attack the airship. At a rough count, there were eight of the enemy, and even when they were attacked, they maintained a well-trained formation, guarding their wounded companions in the center.
A small white point of light suddenly appeared on the Rosenkavalier's shield, and Elliott saw the wandering point of light, but did not react to the seemingly harmless point of light. Jonah was stunned, he had seen this phenomenon before, and the next moment it would be a deadly attack that could shatter the Moonlight Elf's spatial shield and Adinmont's defensive shield at the same time, "Eli, abandon the shield!" All he could do was roar with all his strength.
The Rose Knight didn't hesitate for a second, let go of his left hand, and the steel shield broke away from his left arm and fell to the ground, "Boom!" Before landing on the ground, the invisible terrifying force gently pierced the stainless steel shield, and the fragments of the shield that exploded flew everywhere, and a bottomless hole appeared in the ground.
"They are the killers of the Tantai Sect!Try to move as fast as you can, don't be targeted by the white points of light, otherwise the next attack will be impossible to dodge!" the astrologer shouted in shock, raising his staff and starting to guide the attack star array "Spiral Trident". At the time of the attack on Punjab, Assai – the King of Assassins, I should say it – had told him that these heirs of the bloodline from the Suiyang Imperial Palace were the most fearsome of the killers, and that after locking on to their targets, the unseen glass beads could easily break them to pieces. Speaking of which, isn't Suiyang City the hometown of this group of killers?
He found two short-haired men dressed in black and masked with black cloth in the crowd, as did the Gang Killer who died in Punjab. The shout attracted the attention of the enemy, and immediately two spots of light appeared on Jonah's chest, "Hit the two in the middle!" Just as Jonah tried his best to dodge, the Rose Knight, who immediately grasped the enemy's rules, commanded loudly, "Fire!"
"Bang bang!" Hannah fires heavily on the west side with the familiar sound of gunfire from the steam golem spear "Lame Henry's Prosthetics", and the crimson rays of energy pierce the night with the "Boom ......" as Danny strikes with a magic pistol on the east side. The barrage of bullets completely enveloped the enemy, and two invisible shields emitting bright yellow light suddenly appeared in the air, and bullets and rays caused turbulent ripples on the surface of the shield. The enemy's formation began to change and retreat, dodging ranged attack fire, and the spot of light on Jonah's chest disappeared without warning, "Attention!" The astrologer reminded his companions with a voice as the ruby glow at the top of Hila Fina soared, and the "Spiral Trident" erupted and swept across the battlefield.
A bright yellow shield immediately collapsed in the power of the mighty stars, but the enemy's formation spun like a top, and another shield appeared in the attack path, accurately blocking the light of the star. "Thebes Holy Team!" Elliot snapped softly.
