As the sun sets, the blood-like remnant sun coats everything that is not on fire with a layer of blood red, which sets off the fierceness of the fire.

The gates of the inner city are closed.

When the guards on the tower of the city gate saw a guy riding a giant wolf with a "huge glowing rod" in his hand rushing towards the gate, his first reaction was to shout: "Orc! Orcs are involved in the siege! ”

The king shouted at the top of his voice: "I am a close attendant of Her Highness Elizabeth, and I have been ordered to come back and report the situation!" ”

The soldiers at the head of the city summed up, and a squad leader poked his head out: "You are the mage named Wang?" How did you get on the wolf! ”

The king was about to explain, when the druid himself turned back and shouted at the castle tower: "I am the druid of Greenfield, investigating the disappearance of cats and dogs." ”

Wang hurriedly corrected Xiaobai's statement: "It's an incident investigating the conspiracy of the evil archmage Irwin to overthrow Langdon City!" The scepter in my hand is Irwin's artifact, and he has been collected by me! ”

The squad leader's head vanished, and the door began to open a few seconds later.

"The Duke is in his study! Please report it now! ”

Wang raised his eyebrows: "What is he doing in the study with this hanging sample in the city?" ”

"You'll find out when you go."

Wang patted Xiaobai's head: "Let's go, I'll show you the way." ”

Xiaobai immediately ran up with a bang, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with her being so small and carrying a mage's 1.8 meter big man.

The soldiers who opened the door all looked at this strange combination in amazement, as if they had seen a ghost.

The king rode Xiaobai into the atrium of the castle and found that a large number of soldiers had been assembled here. This is not the standing army of the duke and the various barons, it is estimated that those elite soldiers have been sent everywhere to "put out fires".

This is the city garrison, which is mostly the city's civilians, and is on duty in the garrison every year in lieu of conscription.

These rabble are talking about something, and they look like they are panicking.

As soon as Wang appeared, the huge eternal light of the glowing rod in his hand attracted everyone's attention. Many people raise their hands to shield their eyes from direct sunlight.

When everyone saw what the king was riding, everyone was shocked.

"Lancelot is on top! He rode a child! ”

"No, it's an orc! There are animal ears! ”

And Xiaobai was concerned about other things at this time: "Is there really meat when you go in?" Why don't I smell meat? ”

She didn't seem to care much about being ridden.

The king directed her through the atrium, into the tower, up the spiral staircase, and finally to the second prince's study, which was now the duke's study.

As soon as the door of the study opened, Xiaobai strode in.

The king was more miserable, he had just noticed the height of the door frame, and before he could shrink his neck, he hit him head-on.

Pound! "!"

Everyone in the room turned their heads to look at this side.

Wang stumbled off the little girl's back and pressed his hand on the sore forehead. Today was the third time he had hit his head, the previous two times in the sewers.

Bruce Langdon was changing his armor surrounded by his attendants, and when he saw this scene, he frowned slightly, and after carefully looking at the werewolf girl, he said, "I heard that you found a druid to act with?" Is that it? How's Erwin? ”

The king raised his scepter: "Erwin has been destroyed. This scepter is the artifact he relies on to control goblins and kobolds. ”

Wang originally wanted to report the function of the artifact, but he didn't say anything.

After all, what if Bruce gets lustful for the artifact after listening to it's abilities? Bruce is not a wolf girl who is as pure and kind as a blank sheet of paper.

Bruce nodded, "That's great, can it summon an endless stream of goblins and kobolds?" ”

"I can't." The king shook his head, "It only gives me the ability to speak the language of goblins and kobolds, and I think the worship of the scepter bearers may be limited to specific tribes." ”

Bruce: "What about this light?" Can you control the size of the light? ”

"No, it can only be this light."

The Duke nodded, and then said, "Now that the crisis of the end of the world has been resolved......

"Not lifted, actually...... Why are you pulling me? ”

Xiaobai: "Where's the meat!" You said you had meat to eat! ”

Bruce motioned to the attendant next to him, "Bring her jerky and treat her well." ”

The attendant immediately departed, and Xiao Bai slipped after him, and threw the king into the study.

The king continued: "The crisis has not been resolved, for neither of the two Earwin's notebooks I have found have written of where he obtained the knowledge of the Mother of Life, and I suspect that someone else has given him the knowledge and sealed him with a contract to divulge this information.

"The only personal item I recovered on Irwin's desk was a ruined church drawn in pencil, and I'm going to follow that trail."

Bruce: "You can track it down, but you've got to do something for me tonight." ”

By this time, the squires had fully dressed up in their armor, and Bruce now looked golden and heroic.

The attendants brought the mirrors to Bruce and asked him to see what he looked like. The Duke shook his head: "No, no, it doesn't seem like it's been enough vicissitudes, you guys are too diligent in polishing the armor." At first glance, this ancestral armor didn't go to war. Come and give me a new one, for my own collection of combat armor! ”

Wang: "Are you planning to kill yourself?" ”

Bruce looked up: "Me? What can I do if I kill myself? I'm not my big brother. But what I'm going to do now needs a sleek look. Wait a minute, I've got something important for you to do. ”

Wang raised an eyebrow, then asked another question, "What about Elizabeth?" I'd like Marika to check out Erwin's lab again. I've marked the route with the powder that the wanderers would use, and Marika should be able to spot it. ”

Bruce: "She's not back yet. I sent for her after my Druid Cassander came back to report, but you see that the whole city is in chaos right now, and the people I sent out have not reciprocated. It's hard to know that she has been captured by His Majesty the Emperor's army. ”

The king went to the window of the study, and looked through the small stone window at the city of fire. The light of the setting sun is fading and night is falling.

Bruce: "Worried? ”

"Huh? Is this kind of feeling called worry? ”

Bruce: "Have you never cared about anyone before?" ”

"Nope." Wang replied honestly.

"Then I'll ask you a question." It was at this time that the attendant put on his cuirass and squeezed his chest slightly, causing him to be silent for a few seconds.

After putting on the breastplate, Bruce continued: "How would you feel if my sister died? ”

"I'll write it down in my notebook and wait until I master the Great Prayer Technique......

"No, no, I'm not asking you what you do, it's how you feel."

"Angry." Wang replied truthfully.

Bruce: "Well, at least you're going to be angry. My sister will be happy. To get down to business, you're going to stand next to me later, preferably holding this magic glowing stick, and I want you to use an eye-catching spell. My court mage was given the same order.

"I'm done with my speech, I want you to do this! The soldiers didn't know what kind of spell it was, but seeing a powerful mage in their presence would boost their morale. ”

Wang glanced at the "Magic Luminous Stick" in his hand, this artifact could turn him into a dragon for an hour a day, so he nodded: "I know what to perform, it will definitely boost morale." Are you one of those soldiers who are ready to use the atrium, though? I found that quite a few of them only had leather armor, and not much chain mail. ”

Bruce: "The well-equipped standing army, both ours and the Barons, has been sent to key locations. Did you know that the fleet of the valley lord stormed the port area? It turned out that the ballistae on the pillboxes in the inner city alone could not prevent the fleet from landing.

"Most of my elite forces are in the port area, fighting against the troops of the valley leader. The only way to save the city is to rely on these armed civilians. ”

Wang: "On the way here, I saw the enemy looting in the streets, they were all elite heavy infantry. ”

"Yes, so the morale of the armed civilians needs to be higher. That's exactly what I'm going to give them. ”

As he spoke, the squire finished changing his armor. Bruce looked at himself in the dressing mirror and nodded with satisfaction: "This is like words, this is like the lord who will charge with them." Let's go, let's watch me perform. ”

With that, Bruce put on a dark blue cloak with the coat of arms of the Random House and strode towards the door leading to the battlements.

The mage glanced at the door where Xiaobai had left, pursed his lips, and followed.

**

As soon as the duke and his party appeared on the city wall south of the atrium, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone below.

After all, the duke was followed by a one-meter-eight man, holding a magic glowing wand.

The rod was so dazzling that it directly eclipsed the torches that had just been lit in the atrium. The key point is that the light of this rod is still white and blue, which contrasts sharply with the orange-red soft light of the torch. As soon as it appears, everyone will naturally focus their eyes on it.

The Duke was pleased with the effect, and he stood at the edge of the wall, as if not at all worried about falling. He looked down at the soldiers assembled below and said in a loud voice:

"Soldiers! You may wonder why there is not a knight here, without their retainers, without their shining armor and swords, and you ask, 'Is it not their duty to protect their subjects?' Isn't it their oath? ’

"I'm not going to explain to you where they've gone, and I'm not going to analyze any tactics with you. I just want to tell you why you!

"Because you know the city best! Maybe you've noticed that you're surrounded by your own neighborhoods who are in the same squad. I did this on purpose, and later you will be led by the captain to fight in your own neighborhood and expel the emperor's invading army!

"You will find that the streets where you played since you were children are now burning! The candy you had when you were a child was thrown on the ground and trampled on!

"You will find that the girl you could not resist looking at in your youth is now being pinned to the ground by the rude Steyr countrymen!

"You will find that it was your mother who stabbed the countryman to death with his sword! It is your gold that has been robbed! It is your house that is being burned!

"This fight is not for honor! Not even for the lords! This is your city! The Steyrian barbarians will not be allowed to defile! And I will personally lead you and kill them all! ”

Duke Langdon pulled out his long sword, and the archmage had already prepared it, and immediately cast a high-level demonic weapon, so the duke's long sword burned like an unquenchable flame, and even overshadowed the light of the dragon head artifact next to it.

The guards in the atrium also raised their swords and shouted, "Kill them all!" ”

The surging rage seemed to reach the sky.

It was at this time that the king, who had been deliberately keeping his distance from the duke, activated the power of the scepter.

His body began to swell, and in the blink of an eye, the huge black dragon was entrenched on the city wall, spreading its wings to cover the sky and the sun, and roaring in the sky.

Duke Langdon was startled by the roar and almost stumbled off the wall, he turned around and saw the sudden appearance of the dragon, and instantly controlled his emotions.

"Look!" He said, "The dragon is with us!" Open the door! Offensive! ”
