Chapter 356: An Unexpected Encounter
As the night falls, the sea of clouds, Akali, Fluttershy, and the nine others finally stop, and they all gather around the fire to nibble on cooked meat or dry food.
"Akali, we should only be about a hundred miles away from the Tianshan Mountains now, and when we finish eating, we will rush there immediately, and take a look at the current situation in Shenzhou first, how about it?" Yun Hai finished his share and said after dividing five by two.
"Can you chew slowly when eating, be careful of a stomachache. Akali reminded helplessly. "Anyway, what should come will always come, and after I go back in a while, I will go back to Tianshan, where we will rest for the night, and then we will study the next plan. β
"Fluttershy, you usually talk a lot, what's wrong today, why is it so quiet?" Yun Hai looked at Fluttershy, who was silently munching on jerky, with some confusion. "It's not going to be a lady, right? Give up, you can't learn. β
"Biting you?" Fluttershy glared at the smiling sea of clouds. "It's not that I don't want to talk, I just ...... I'm just a little nervous because I'm probably going to see my family soon, and I'm still in the hostile camp......"
"Fluttershy, I want you to remember that the blood ties of family are inseparable from conflicts, and I'm sure your family will miss you too, and they may say you're a traitor, but in reality, just as you miss them, they will miss you. Yunhai gently embraces Fluttershy in her arms and comforts her. "If you really miss them, go and meet them secretly, although they may not understand your position, but I am sure they will be happy. β
"Well, thank you, stupid man, I will......" Fluttershy nodded obediently.
Right now......
"Your Royal Highness, not far east of our place, a small army has been attacked by Asura!" Wallace, who was in charge of guarding, suddenly flew back from a distance and said nervously.
"Whose troops, Father's?" Akali immediately tensed.
"I don't know how to go, it's already dark in the night, and they don't have torches, I can't see clearly. Wallace told the truth.
"No matter whose troops it is, we have to go to the rescue as soon as possible. Akali immediately slipped the rest of the dinner into her mouth, turned over and rode onto the silver dragon. "Knights of the Dawn, all of them attack, we must go and save them!"
"Yes!"
Akali and his party moved extremely fast, and arrived at the scene of the incident in less than a minute, she saw that in the night, two groups of troops were fighting fiercely, one of them was composed of big men who were more than two meters tall, these people were holding all kinds of weapons made of unknown weapons, extremely sharp, and they could cut through the armor of steel with a casual wave, and the strength was very strong, enough to have the strength of the sixth realm of the Emperor Tianzheng, although the number of Asura was only a fraction of the number of the opposite, but this group of guys seemed to be not afraid of death to kill the opponent, and they actually killed the enemy several times their own and retreated, some cruel Asura even directly grabbed the blood-stained corpse of the enemy and devoured it in a big gulp, as if it was some kind of delicacy.
"These brutesβ"
Akali didn't wait for others to make a move, and directly rode the silver dragon to kill it, instantly cutting off the head of an asura, and the silver dragon also spewed out a breath of cold dragon breath, instantly freezing an asura.
"Princess Akali?are you finally back?!"
The voice of a woman who was very familiar to Akali came, Akali looked back and found that it was the scout Kelly who sent the letter to herself, at this time she was holding two short swords, and there were already several wounds on her body, it seemed that she had gone through a hard battle, and next to her was Makino who was panting with the bow of the Sun Shooting God, and there were also many colors, and most of the people they led were warriors of the Lucas Crusader, but there were also more than a dozen disciples of the Ten Thousand Snake Hall and the Dongying Gate, and many of them also fell to the ground.
"Kelly, Makino, you've been attacked by these guys?" Akali asked.
"Yes, we just went out to reconnoiter the situation of this generation to see if there was any trace of the enemy, but we didn't expect to encounter a small army of Asura and almost wiped out. Kelly replied.
"These Asuras are so strong that ordinary soldiers' weapons can't effectively kill them, and even the power of the Sun Shooting Bow can't kill them with one blow, it's really ......" Makino pounded the ground hatefully.
"Always, since we have met, then let's destroy these guys, and I can also see the strength of the ordinary soldiers of Asura. Everyone else also descended on the battlefield, and Yunhai was also shocked when he saw such a tragic scene.
"Well, don't be merciful, the Asura soldiers are notoriously cruel and fearless on the battlefield, don't expect them to run away or surrender!" Fluttershy reminds.
"Okay, on!"
In an instant, more than a dozen masters once again slaughtered Asura's front.
And the Asura warriors on the opposite side found that many powerful humans suddenly came and killed them, so they all screamed and raised their blades to kill.
"Hmph!
Yun Haifeng wielded the azure sword of the warrior, cut the weapon of an Asura warrior in half, and then stepped forward, a half-moon-shaped sword light flashed, this burly Asura warrior let out an earth-shattering roar, fell to the ground, Yun Hai was not at ease, and poked a sword in his chest, and then stopped.
"Dare to challenge the Asura King? β
Fluttershy squinted at one of these Asura warriors, a captain-like figure, who was not only much better than the rest of the Gundam, but also had a much better weapon, and he spoke in a language that Yunhai and the others did not understand, as if he was talking to Fluttershy, but Fluttershy didn't reply, and a purple ominous flame instantly turned it to ashes.
"Whew...... The strength of these guys is okay. Alma clapped her hands and looked at the laser-scorched corpse.
"But the strength of these guys is really terrifying, ordinary soldiers have such strength, I really can't imagine how strong those Asura kings will be. Elena put away the night longbow, but she couldn't help but feel scared in her heart.
"Your Royal Highness, thank you for saving me and Makino, as well as these people. Kelly walked up as soon as he had settled the wounded. "If it is too late to-day, you must have saddled your horses all the way back from Europe, please follow me back to the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains, where Prince Lane is stationed as the logistical center of the Crusaders. β
"Is Uncle Lane the only one there, and where has my father gone?" asked Akali.
"His Majesty Lucas personally led the main force to Yumen Pass, along with Lord Sen Wolf, Lord Qingluan and other masters of the Ten Thousand Snake Palace, as well as the masters of the Dongying Gate, such as the head of the Arita Gate. Kelly replied truthfully.
"Looks like my father is trying to put on a fight to the death......" Akali nodded. "Then I'll leave everything to you, let's return to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains immediately!"
An hour later.
"Uncle Lane, I'm back!"
After returning to the crusader camp, Akali did not have time to rest for a moment, and immediately rushed to the tent.
"Oh, my beautiful niece is back?"
A tired voice sounded from inside, and a few seconds later, Ryan appeared in front of Akali, but at this time, compared to before Akali left Europe, he looked more than ten years old, and his face was very haggard, Akali suddenly remembered that Ryan's only son Fenrir was killed by Asura's scouts in the endless wasteland to the north, and it should be because of this that he was so sad, and as if he was ten years old.
"Uncle Lane, you ......" Although Akali hated the arrogant Fenrir, she liked her generous and kind uncle very much, and now seeing him like this, her heart was as uncomfortable as a pinprick.
"Akali, who has nothing to do, don't worry about my old bones, Fenrir died like a true knight, and I have no regrets. Ryan smiled lonely and showed that he was fine, but his sad eyes and painful look betrayed his grief caused by the loss of his beloved son, and he seemed unwilling to dwell on this issue, so he talked about something else. "Speaking of which, Kelly has already told me about Trist's usurpation of the throne and your formation of a volunteer army to fight to the death, honestly, I'm really proud of you, you have proven yourself to be a good member of the Lucas family, saving our country at a precarious moment, but, what about Trist now?"
He ...... Dead, but not killed by me. Akali hesitated, but recounted the events as they were, from her arrival in Europe to what had finally happened in the pyramids.
"I didn't expect your trip to be complicated and thrilling enough, my child. After hearing this, Ryan didn't come back to his senses for a long time. "Since you buried Trist properly, even if he is guilty, he is still my brother......"
Akali sighed in her heart, if Trist really knew that his brother loved him so much, perhaps, the series of tragedies that followed would not have happened......
"All right, my child. Ryan could see Akali's exhaustion. "Don't think about anything today, take your companions and rest for the night, and tomorrow, we'll discuss the next plans, let's go." β
"Yes. Akali's heart couldn't help but warm.
