Alliance of Glory: The Ballad of the Border Chapter 1: Control
"Dengdenden!" In the moonlit night, there were bursts of footsteps on the dark and desolate earth, some slight and cautious, others extremely heavy.
"This is it. A hoarse voice came from the end, and the man stomped his foot, kicked up a few fine grains of gravel, and confirmed, "This is the Thousand Caves City." ”
"Really······ It's a ruin that no one knows about. The black-robed man in the lead muttered to himself, he took off the black hood that covered his head, revealing a delicate face and dark blue handsome hair, and his eyes revealed tears of sorrow.
"The last attack was successful in destroying this place, but we ourselves found nothing. At the time, we thought the information was wrong, but now it seems that the thing must still be here, in the ruins. Finally the man stomped his foot again, making a very resentful expression.
"The Thousand Caves City is in ruins, so you still have to let this dead city see the light of day, right?" the leader smiled self-deprecatingly: "Prisoner······ After all, I will be a great sinner. ”
"Why bother with this kind of control?" The behemoth standing between the two of them, Demon Seed Flame Fury, suddenly spoke: "The seal of the Jade City and the Metropolitan Protectorate against me is already very weak, and it is estimated that in some time, the last seal of the Metropolitan Protectorate will no longer exist. Just let me lead the Demon Seed Brigade to attack the Great Wall, I don't believe that the current group of mortals on the Great Wall can really block my impact. It couldn't help but be annoyed when it remembered that it had prepared to attack the Duhu Mansion before, but was led away by the Lanling King and finally returned in vain, in its opinion, the Lanling King must have been sent by the Great Wall.
"In this way, it's just a small feud. The prisoner in front objected: "If you want to take revenge, you should first get the power of control." With the power of control, attacking the Great Wall is simply as easy as a breeze. And if you want to destroy Chang'an in one fell swoop, it is not a difficult task. Yan Fury, why do you have to think more about the rest of the matter. ”
"I don't care about small hatreds. Demon Seed Yan Fu was very angry, and slapped his front hooves heavily and said: "What is the Great Wall and Chang'an, I won't pay attention to it at all, as long as the seal is lifted, these things will fall under my iron hooves sooner or later!"
"Anger and anger, everything needs to be cautious and careful, don't be careless. Finally, the man sat down on top of an abandoned boulder and said, "How long has it been since we have been close to the Great Wall? How do you know their true abilities? According to the news from Chang'an from the east and the west gate, Chang'an's defense has been strengthened again. ”
He stepped forward, came to the side of the Demon Seed Flame Fury, looked up at the starry sky and said, "Your Majesty is still waiting for our news." The East and West Gates are in Chang'an, the South Palace is in Haidu, and I am in the Great Wall, and the completion of the task cannot be worse than theirs. ”
"Understood. In the face of this person, Demon Seed Flame Fury didn't seem to be able to raise his anger at all, and respectfully agreed.
"So our primary goal is to find the power to control. The prisoner was very satisfied, stretched out his hand to caress the silent earth of the Thousand Cave City, and thought, "Then where is this power of control buried?"
"Do you say, will this power of control still appear?" suddenly heard another voice in the darkness. The prisoner and the man behind him heard the noise and dodged together, hiding behind the dimly lit pile of rocks. Because of his huge size, Demon Seed Flame Fury hid directly behind the half-collapsed Thousand Caves City Grottoes.
"I don't know, but if Master Di is right, as the daughter of a thousand cave cities, you will definitely be able to find the power to control. The sturdy body walked in front, leading the beautiful woman behind him, but Su Lie didn't dare to have any thoughts of relaxing. He didn't agree to find the power of control, but then Di Renjie came with the news that Jia Luo was the daughter of the Thousand Caves City, and through the pure domain she had summoned, he could find the location of the power of control. When Jia Luo heard the news, he thought that it would be safer to keep the power of control in his own hands, so he rushed to Thousand Caves City with Su Lie.
"Is it him?" the prisoner listened to the words of the two, and his heart suddenly brightened like a mirror: "The general is really still alive, and he is still with Galo. The man behind him was overjoyed: "It seems that they don't need us to make a move, they will find out the power of control themselves." Wouldn't it be better for us to snatch it directly after the power of control appears?"
The prisoner glanced back, knowing the man's plan, and his brow suddenly tightened, and he hesitated what he should do.
"Thousand Caves City. Su Lie looked at the abandoned appearance here, and couldn't help but sigh: "The only place in the Western Regions full of civilization is now such an ending······ Sad······ What a sigh······" Garo didn't feel so much sentiment about this, she recalled the scene of that day, her father and the people sacrificed to protect the power of control, and the rest of the tasks had to be carried by her alone, how could she have time to cry.
"Come on!" Garo let out a low cry, pointed his arrow straight to the ground, and instantly summoned a blue-purple Pure Domain circle from under him, and the bright light spread out in all directions, and the ripples slowly spread. Su Lie watched Jia Luo close her eyes, knowing that she was looking for the power to control, so he observed her surroundings by herself, alerting her to any abnormalities occurring around her.
The prisoner glanced back at the man behind him, who, seeing his hesitation, gestured to him and motioned for action. The prisoner's heart has been in turmoil and collision, and he can't be ruthless after all.
"A thousand caves are blessed, peaceful and worry-free. The power of control, come out, where are you?" Jia Luo muttered in a low voice, Su Lie looked at her and frowned, obviously it was not easy to find the power of control, and blurted out comfort: "No hurry, we are not in a hurry." ”
Garo suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his feet, "It seems to be ······"
As soon as she spoke, a dark shadow suddenly burst out from in front of her and slashed at the two of them. Su Lie kept an eye on his surroundings, immediately drew his sword to block the blow, and then quickly pulled Jia Luo back away.
Jia Luo's arrow and Su Lie's sword pointed at the person in front of him together, but when the prisoner removed the black cover that covered his face, the two were stunned together.
"Sheng?" Su Lie said tremblingly, "You······ Are you alright······" Jia Luo knew the prisoner's position, but he was surprised why he came here, drew a bow and prepared to attack, and said, "Sheng, are you going to plunder my Thousand Cave City?"
"Sheng has long since died. The prisoner said coldly: "There is only the traitor of the Tang Dynasty in the world now, the prisoner." Su Lie, I know what you are here for, hand over your things, and spare you from dying. ”
"Prisoner?" Su Lie tilted the corners of his mouth and said disdainfully: "Sheng, Datang may have something to be sorry for you, but you shouldn't cooperate with the demon seed and make enemies of the Great Wall······
"Isn't that all thanks to you?" the prisoner touched the scar on his face and said, "They all say that the demon seed is cold-blooded, but the facts tell me that the cold-blooded species can give people more warmth." ”
"Whoosh!" Garo suddenly fired an arrow that flew out of the prisoner's face. The prisoner tilted his head slightly and dodged, glaring at Jia Luo and said, "Sister Jia Luo, you have already shot me in the right cheek, and you want to shoot me in the left cheek again?
Jia Luo was far less polite than Su Lie, and he pulled out an arrow from his waist and said, "Sheng, there is no need to say more nonsense. You and I have fought in Yanbian of the Great Wall, since you have taken refuge in the demon seed, it is useless to say so much. As he spoke, he shot an arrow of silence from afar, and the prisoner dodged again, dodging the arrow, and shook his head, "No, Sister Jialuo, you will never be able to shoot me with one arrow at a time." ”
The silent arrow shot out far away, shining into the sky, shining a small half of the starry sky. Suddenly, the silent arrow's trail of white light flickered a little more, and then exploded.
The prisoner reacted quickly and waved his knife in front of him, but he was still blown back two steps by this small explosion.
"You still don't have a long memory. This is a lesson for you. Jia Luo smiled slightly, pulled Su Lie and said, "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's go quickly!" As he spoke, the Pure Domain also disappeared, and the entire Thousand Cave City area fell into a dark silence again.
"Stay!" Demon Seed Flame Fury hid behind the rock wall, and when he saw that they wanted to leave, he slapped his front leg hard, causing a strong earthquake. Su Lie plunged his sword into the earth and held Jia Luo hard, so that the two of them did not fall together. Demon Seed Flame Fury exerted force from afar, throwing its huge body upwards and landing heavily in front of the two of them.
The two of them were shocked by him, and took a few steps back, and were about to turn around and flee, when the prisoner and the rest of the man stopped behind them. When Su Lie looked at the person beside the prisoner, he immediately clenched the long sword in his hand, and his voice was much more serious than before: "Sure enough, it's you······ North Hall. ”
"What?" The face of the person known as Beitang kept flashing in his black clothes, and he couldn't even see his exact face. But Su Lie had fought with him, he shook his head angrily, and stared at the prisoner desperately: "Sheng, all the battles with the Great Wall were aroused by his suspicion in the Beitang, if you join forces with him, can your conscience be at ease? Have you forgotten the comrades who died guarding the Great Wall with you?"
"Less nonsense. The prisoner waved his knife and pointed it at Su Lie, looking like he didn't want to hear Su Lie continue: "The Great Wall is now my enemy, the enemy who prevented me from entering Chang'an to take revenge. No way. But I'm not someone who doesn't miss the old love, hand over the control, and we can spare your lives. ”
"You want me to bow my head to the enemy who destroyed the Thousand Caves City, Sheng, you look down on us too much!" Garo snorted coldly, and slowly shot the demon-destroying arrow released by her demon-breaking bow at the prisoner and Beitang.
"Dying and struggling!" Beitang's slow and suspicious mockery echoed in the air, lingering in Su Lie and Jia Luo's ears. And Beitang's suspicious body also disappeared into the night sky, as if turning into a voice and constantly eroding the psychology of the two.
Su Lie watched the prisoner retreat from being suppressed by Garo, and then turned around to protect Garo's back to prevent the Demon Seed Flame Fury from sneaking up from behind. Demon Seed Flame Fury suddenly screamed wildly, and roared angrily, "Dog, you still dare to sneak up on me?" and suddenly turned around.
Su Lie was surprised, but he saw a person from a distance around the Demon Seed Flame angrily throwing the shadow dagger dripping with dark liquid. He angrily distanced himself from Garo.
Garo also looked back and exclaimed in surprise, "My lord!" His spirit suddenly perked up, and more demon-breaking arrows flew out one after another, forcing the prisoner to jump backwards with all his might, so that he was not traumatized.
"Why don't you go quickly?" King Lanling knew that he didn't have the ability to compete with the Demon Seed Flame Fury, but he found out about the danger of Su Lie and Jia Luo, and had to save it, so he had to draw a gourd like last time to attract the attention of the Demon Seed Fire Fury from behind.
"Quick. Jia Luo knew that the situation was critical, so he pulled Su Lie and left. The prisoner turned over and chased after him, looking at Beitang's suspicious appearance at the location where Su Lie and Jia Luo were before, as if he was looking for something, he wondered, "Did you find something?"
"Hmm. Beitang said slowly: "The lives of these two people are nothing compared to the power of control. According to my guess, this power of control is buried underneath it!"
