Chapter 52: Released from Prison
A knight of light was surrounded by a crowd of corpses crushed by the black, and although he slashed left and right, it was futile in the face of the encirclement. Eventually, the knight ran out of strength and stumbled and fell to the ground. He sat limply on the ground, watching a rotting corpse pounce on him, and closed his eyes in despair.
"Holy light is above!" I heard a loud shout, and a majestic figure descended from the sky, like a god descending from heaven. The dazzling light burst forth, burning the corpses of the besieging knight to ashes in an instant.
The knight opened his eyes and looked up at the man who had saved him from danger, none other than the High Lord Ferdin. The holy splendor shrouded the lord, and the knight couldn't help but have the idea of bowing and worshipping.
The Grand Lord reached out and picked up the knight and asked, "Are we alright? ”
In just a few moments, there were more walking corpses that couldn't fill the gap opened by the Great Lord. The Great Lord covered his subordinates while fighting and retreating, but fortunately, although these monsters were numerous, they were slow to move. The rugged mountain road slowed down their retreat, but it also slowed down the pursuit of the corpses.
After traveling a few kilometers, the Great Lord could already hear the sound of the rushing mountains and rivers. In a few moments, a rushing river appeared in front of me, hanging like a horse on this mountain of resentment. The Mountain of Resentment is just one of many peaks in this mountain range, and the river that converges from the many peaks and eventually rushes down here.
On the shore, Renault was directing the people to retreat in an orderly manner on a simple raft. The terrain on the mountain is dangerous, and there are limited places to put down the raft. So the retreat proceeded very slowly.
"Renault, is there enough rafts, and how long will it take to complete the retreat?" asked the High Lord.
Renault replied: "The raft is still being built in a hurry, but it is being withdrawn too slowly." At this rate, the raft must have been prepared before the withdrawal, but the corpses must have caught up. ”
The Great Lord looked at the narrow mountain road, nodded and said, "Fortunately, the terrain is in our favor, if we need a little luck, maybe we will transfer it now." "At most, the mountain road can be passed by three people in parallel, and on the left side of the mountain road is a bottomless cliff, even if the corpses catch up, they can take advantage of the favorable terrain to hold for a long time.
Woo...... Belch...... A roar was heard, and a slow-moving walking corpse stepped out of the corner of the trail. With his appearance, the walking corpses pushed and squeezed onto the narrow mountain road, and there were constantly walking corpses falling off the cliff because of the pushing. The haunting corpses eventually caught up.
Renault said, "Great Lord, the retreat will be left to you to command." As he spoke, he pulled out his family heirloom sword, the Burner, and rushed towards the corpses like the wind.
The Great Lord looked at the back of his right-hand man and sighed, this young man had an endless passion for battle, almost to the point of fanaticism. He often feared that Renault would lose himself, but now there was no better place for Renault's frenzy to escape.
The devotion and fanaticism of the family through the generations are condensed in this sword in Renault's hand, and the burner is the natural enemy of all evil things, and the walking corpses are directly burned to ashes in an instant wherever the blade reaches. With the sword in his hand, Renault was like a divine help, and he actually drove the corpses back with his own strength, and in the blink of an eye, Renault had disappeared at the corner of the mountain road.
Seeing that Renault seemed to be invincible, the knights couldn't help cheering in unison, and the gloom in their hearts caused by the hasty retreat also lightened.
Grand Lord Ferdin, who stopped cheering, ordered, "Hurry up and retreat! Don't let Renault wait too long." ”
Hua Ducheng, Li Xiang's villa.
After squatting in the room for three days, Li Xiang finally returned to his home.
As soon as she entered the door, Catherine, the black dragon princess, puffed out her cheeks, greeted her angrily, and slammed her small fist at Li Xiang.
Catherine frowned and asked, "Bastard, why are you so impulsive? If it hadn't been for Odyssey to stop me, I would have taken Wimsalaq to tear down that broken tower so that I could get you out." Have you forgotten what you said? You said you wanted to marry me and help me revive the Black Dragon Clan, so you ignored yourself so easily, do you want to break the contract?"
The black dragon princess has a good face, although she blames every word, but she is indeed expressing her concern for Liu Xiang in her own way. This made Li Xiang's heart soften, and at the same time, he blamed himself, he blamed himself for not being so impulsive. He blamed himself for not being so impulsive, and he really needed to get rid of this problem in the future. Before, because he was too reckless and didn't consult with others, he tore his face with Black Rose and made himself embarrassed.
Li Xiang hugged Catherine into his arms, patted her on the back, and whispered, "Okay, okay, haven't I come back yet?"
Catherine's brows furrowed, and she said softly, "Don't do this in the future." ”
"Ahem, that about Lokan ......" Odyssey incomprehensibly ruined the warmth of the two.
The relationship between Li Xiang and Catherine is to skip one class and go straight to second base, and when Li Xiang was in Black Dragon Valley, Li Xiang had already reached three categories, only one perfect home run was missing. But there was never any intimacy between the two of them, and Catherine noticed that everyone was watching them, and she whispered between them in excitement - such as "marry me" or something, so that her little face turned red for a moment.
Catherine wrinkled her nose and tried her best to look very vicious, but it actually backfired to make her look more cute. She said fiercely, "If you dare to do that in the future, see how I clean you up!" After saying that, she ran away, and it was not until she ran back to her room and slammed the door that Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, which had been too embarrassing for her just now.
Everyone tried their best not to laugh when they saw Catherine so cute. When Catherine returned to her room, everyone who was almost holding back their internal injuries laughed.
Odyssey continued: "The things about Lokan are more troublesome. ”
Li Xiang asked, "Is there any way?" He has always been very confident in the bad water in the black crow's stomach.
Odyssey said: "There should be a way. But there is one thing you have to know, His Royal Highness the Prince should not be able to help much, he is a little anxious now. ”
