Chapter 889: Wasteland

In the absence of a fight, the dragon flies very fast. Although it is not as good as the specifications of Icarus, at least it can throw off the Silver Pegasus fighter of the Western Continental Alliance so that it can't even see a shadow, not to mention other flying units. Therefore, as long as the night flies high and fast enough and then surrounds the road a little from the outside, it will be difficult for the demon to spot, and even if it does, the bat's wings will not have time to take off and stop it at the speed of the little black dragon.

Alicia was confident that her party would be able to bypass the enemy army and reach the black crystal-covered land on the front line, but ......

It's too cold!

Even if you fly fast in the sky in the winter, the civil airliners on the Blue Star often do the same, but the night is not a very comfortable airliner inside, and it is not a big balloon that can stuff ground units into the stomach and soar into the sky and then drop everywhere in a science fiction game made of glass slag, so Alicia and Elijah can only have a close contact with the outside world on the back of a dragon.

Although he used a magic shield to withstand the cold wind, the temperature in the high-altitude environment was really no joke. After failing to use a small enchantment to keep her warm, Elysia tightened her collar and plunged into the arms of Elijah, who was sitting cross-legged on the dragon's back.

Ilya would be careful every time she hugged the blonde girl because her figure was so bad...... I mean, the girl is so petite that you can't help but worry if you push a little too hard, it won't hurt her. So the brunette waited until Alicia had fully slipped in and found a comfortable position to settle down, before gently reaching out and wrapping his hand around her back.

"Is it cold?" as if he knew that the girl Weishenme would suddenly fall into her arms for no reason and die. Ilya stroked her long hair and asked indifferently.

"A little bit. Alicia rubbed her head against the other's chest, "Hold me tight." ”

"Hmm, Haode. ”

"Hey, hey, hey. Although the temperature around is indeed a little low, that's not an excuse for you to justifiably take the initiative to throw yourself into your arms and create a lot of flashbangs!?" An angry voice immediately sounded from the side, "Or what, are you so that you can't wait to tempt this guy to be pushed down by him and pop?"

With an unhappy face, Alicia poked her little head out of Elija's arms and looked at the owner of the voice: "What kind of hunger and thirst, I'm obviously dissatisfied, okay!? And you'll come with you, mercury lamp!?"

"If I don't come with me to supervise, you can buy the foodie dragon with a few lollipops, send her away, and then work with the ghost beast queen (divine beast) Gong Nan in a deep mountain and old forest, dry firewood, turn the clouds and rain, and wait until the end of the matter to rescue the group of immortal Xiaoqiang hiding in the cave, when they notice that your pace is different, can't help but ask curiously, you can cover your face with one hand, with a blushing and extremely happy appearance, snuggled in this guy's arms, and said, not long ago, on the way to the rescue, you have become his person, by the way, looking at Xiaoqiang's stunned and thunderous embarrassment, and laughing, rightI don't know what you think, and what's the matter with that dissatisfaction, are you Obasan, who is in his forties!?"

"Mercury lamps. In every sense of the word, your spit has been bunkered. Looking at the little puppet standing on the back of the dragon with her hands crossed on her hips and her chest standing tall and trying to make a majestic little doll, her head covered with black lines and cold sweat said.

The chairman is just a little unaccustomed to Alicia's performance because she is too pretentious, and she doesn't really want to trouble the two of them. She stepped out of the magic shield that the little queen had set up to block the wind. Letting the wind blow his silver hair and black gothic skirt wantonly, he looked into the distance with his hands in his arms and shifted the topic: "All the clouds in the nearby atmosphere have disappeared, are they affected by that forbidden spell?"

Alicia leaned over in Elijah's arms, turned her head to look at the doll's back, and replied, "That's pretty much how it should be." Even if a heavy snow is brewing in nature, it is impossible for the demons to use spells to catalyze such an exaggerated map cannon. This can only be done by using all the water vapor, clouds, and so on from other areas near the battlefield. Tut. Without the cover of the clouds, we would have to take a detour to avoid the demonic forces. ”

As if to verify what the little queen said, a dozen black dots suddenly flew out of the ground. Because it was far away, the night who noticed it immediately failed to see what the black dot was, but the little black dragon didn't care, flapped his wings and made a loud sound to speed up, and after more than ten seconds, he completely threw the other party out of view.

"Well, maybe you don't have to take a long detour. ”

The dragon is the pride of the heavens, and this powerful race blessed by the creator god is the ultimate existence that ordinary people can only lie on the ground and worship. Even looking up is not allowed. The skies of Drowlivan have long been the domain of dragons, and these lizards are the traditional lords of the skies - until a blonde legal loli tinkers with a battleship in the air.

Even if the night is not yet an adult. It was definitely not something that a group of miscellaneous soldiers who took off in a hurry could stop it, because they couldn't even touch the little black dragon.

However, just in case, Alicia asked Ayato to move the scheduled flight path a little further to the periphery. It would take a little more time, but it would be better than being drawn into an encounter by the enemy, after all, the little queen didn't have much combat power now.

"Then I say, you should be more than just to save people, right?" The mercury lamp, looking at the scenery below, suddenly turned back and glanced at Alysia, who was curled up in Ilya's arms like a king-sized cat, with beautiful red eyes, "Do you have any other plans?"

For this little puppet that followed her from the beginning, Alicia didn't have any intention to hide, and immediately nodded vigorously and said, "That's right, rescuing Uncle Brooke is just a stopby." My real intention was to go out there and see for myself those black crystals and see what they were. Plus, if you're lucky. Perhaps the army of the Ming Empire can also be found. I don't know if there is a group of survivors who survived the catastrophe or if there are only human remains all over the ground, but at least we can figure out the general situation and decide on our future strategy. ”

"By strategy, we mean ......"

"Running and running The blonde girl said with her index finger cocked up and her face serious.

Before the chairman, who had a bad face, took out her treasured artifact-grade feather fan. Alicia, who was dripping with cold sweat, hurriedly waved her hands and said with a smile: "Wait, wait! This is a normal thing, after all, we don't have enough combat power in the Eastern Continent, so we can only assist the Ming Empire on the side." If there is really something wrong with Gongsun Yi, the emperor, and the main force of the Ming army is destroyed by forbidden spells, it is naturally harmful to continue to stay here, and it may even lead to burning, of course, how fast and fast you have to run. ”

The blonde girl was right. The alliance hastily mobilized the people to send combat forces to the Eastern Continent, and was far from ready to confront the demon army head-on. Ulrique, on the other hand, was fully prepared in advance, and even did not hesitate to transfer troops from Tyranmere, who was being pressed by the coalition forces, in order to eliminate the Ming Empire in a short time. Other words. The army currently gathered on the Eastern Continent is the absolute main force under the command of the new Demon King, and even if Alicia is possessed by the protagonist's aura, it is impossible for her to command 30,000 armed civilians to defeat the enemy gorgeously.

If the little queen can really do it, it's no longer the legendary open-hanging, but the direct use of the ultimate modifier that countless players who decisively chose the difficult difficulty when they first played a passable clearance archive SLG game, and were abused to death by fierce enemies in the game, tearful and regretful!

In addition, I am also one of the above-mentioned active thrill-seeking players......

All in all. If the army of the Ming Empire was wiped out. The weak Western Continent adventurer army was naturally unable to resist the tide of demon army, and even if reinforcements were sent to assist the remaining Ming army to defend the city, it was not certain whether Gongsun Yi, who had been acting very strangely recently, would make some fuss inside. Therefore, although it was a very serious consequence to let the demons destroy the Ming Empire and occupy the Eastern Continent, Alicia did not intend to sacrifice the lives of the coalition soldiers in order to turn the situation around in such an extremely dangerous situation.

It's a big deal to concentrate forces and spirit to capture Tyranmere after returning, so that the alliance and the demon each occupy two continents, and the situation is divided between each other.

The mercury lamp was silent for a long time and did not speak, after all, from a normal point of view, it is not an exaggeration to think that the Ming army has been completely wiped out under the attack of forbidden spells. Ordinary people must have led their troops to flee in a hurry, and the commander who was a little calmer would only send his troops to reconnoiter a little outside the battlefield (because the existence of black crystals could not penetrate deeply) and then hurriedly ordered to evacuate, and it was rare for Alicia to rush to the front line to observe in person.

"You can already see the black crystals in the report!" Ayaya suddenly reminded in a deep and heavy voice, breaking the oppressive silence. "There's no sign of a demon around, Ellie. Do you want to lower the height?"

Alicia steady, gently pushed Elijah away, and stood upβ€”the brunette boy followed herβ€”and looked out toward the ground in the distance.

Black crystals covered the entire earth, and nothing else. Even a nearby hill that was not very tall had been transformed into a crystallization that shimmered in the sun, like Cecilia's favorite chocolate cream cake. However, the blonde girl believed that even if the genius alchemy girl's appetite was good and the crystallized mountain in front of her was really a cake, she would never be able to eat it all.

It's not a matter of stomach capacity, you must know that when eating sweets, the stomach capacity of all cute girls (including Alicia) is unlimited, and it's not a problem to eat mountains and swallow the sea or something - it's just that the dark energy contained in those crystals is too terrifying, and a feeling of nausea and chills hit the face before they got close, making several people frown.

Cecilia would be sick to her stomach if she were to eat them all.

The little queen took a deep breath and unfolded the sacred realm, gently wrapped her group with a soft white light, and then lightly stepped on the dragon scales under her feet: "Go down, Aya, you can't see anything clearly in this high sky." Everyone, please keep your eyes open and don't miss the slightest movement. ”

The night soon descended to an altitude of just over a hundred meters above the ground, slowing down its flight. In general, it is very dangerous to do so. It is easy to be attacked by anti-aircraft fire hidden on the ground. But now the black crystals have swallowed the whole earth, and all the plants have crystallized. Patches of trees shattered after crystallization, turning the woods that could have been Tibetans into unobstructed crockstone mining sites. An ambush was simply impossible.

"It's strange that this crystallization is clearly going to eat away at life, but why did we only see crystallized plants and not animal remains along the way?"

"Definitely. The mercury lamp unceremoniously occupied Elijah's shoulder with a high and distant reason, and immediately said when she heard the girl's words, "Judging from the account of the immortal little strong named Brooke. The Demon's Forbidden Spell is not instantaneous, but has a process. Most animals that are very sensitive to danger have already begun to run away from the moment the other party casts their magic, and only dull humans will not be aware of it. That's long enough time for the animal to run out of the spell range. As for human beings...... Well, most of them have become like that. ”

As he spoke, the Chairman suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed, which immediately attracted the other two to look away.

In fact, Alicia could only see splinters all over the ground, just like the trees before. But. Two pieces of something in the shape of a human leg connected to the crystalline ground illustrated. That's not a tree.

The two suspected human legs were missing above the knee, and a rifle covered with crystals was held in front of it, with what appeared to be half of what appeared to be the palm of the hand, and the whole scene looked like an abstract sculpture, so lifelike that it was chillingly lifelike.

After a faint sigh and a moment of silence for the deceased, the sharp-eyed Alicia suddenly saw a faint orange light on the mountainside of a semi-crystallized hill on the far edge of this empty and silent and desperate landβ€”it was the color of the fourth-level fighting spirit.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”I'm the dividing lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Even Brooke, who was not a regular soldier, knew that after plowing the enemy's position with incomparably powerful firepower, it was time for the ground troops to appear. It is true that this crystallization contains a rather terrifying dark energy. Even low-level monsters and even weak demons themselves can't reach the erosion of their bodies, but there is a special existence on this shijie, and they are very happy to bathe in dark energy.

Undead creatures.

After the spell has subsided, the demon searched for possible remnants of the Ming army. These breathless "creatures" were immediately dispatched into the land covered in black crystals. Of course, no one thought that anyone could survive a spell of this level, and the search was just a formality, so what appeared in front of Brooke and the others were all the lowest-level skinny ribs - the selfless skeleton soldiers who were said to have provided a lot of experience gold and equipment for countless brave people who went to the graveyard for the first time.

Although the cave where the uncle and his party hid was very inconspicuous, the undead did not use their eyes to find prey. The aura of the living of more than a dozen people was more striking than a lighthouse to the undead in this completely dead land, and it didn't take long for them to find Brooke and the others who were shivering from the cold.

A not-so-fierce warm-up battle just began.

Brooke swung the machete in his hand and blocked the hole, the ground in front of him was covered with bits and pieces of bones and rusted swords, almost reaching the instep of his feet. Despite this, the tireless skeleton soldiers continued to try to drill into the hole, and even chiseled crystals on the outside to expand the entrance, and the dense digging sound made people's scalps tingle when they heard it.

Pirka and several warriors took cover behind Brooke, while Marilyn and the archers provided fire support inside the cave. The cohesive adventuring party held the cave firmly, and finding their undead cost them was a huge one, with the only result being a shallow cut in Brooke's armor.

But these white bones did not give up, and they did not know how to give up.

"Chief, I've run out of arrows!" suddenly shouted an archer.

Brooke's worst fears finally came - they were out scouting and didn't carry much supplies and medicine, and a protracted war would be bad for them.

"Heh, isn't it possible that the legendary adventurer who once participated in the dragon slaying, my heroic name will be ruined today on the bodies of these lowest-level undead?" Brooke said with a self-deprecating smile and a deep sigh, but the movement of the machete in his hand did not slow down, "If my daughter knew about it, she would definitely despise me, right?"

Everyone also smiled bitterly when they heard this, and they were speechless for a while.

"Stupid, she's going to be very sadβ€”β€”!" With the voice of a familiar sweet girl, a scorching flame that almost ignited the cold air spurted out of the spurt, instantly blowing away all the skeletons that were entrenched outside.

A black dragon, dressed in a beautiful white dress, fluttering in the sun and reflecting the dazzling blonde hair...... In the stunned gaze of everyone, Alicia smiled and stretched out her slender white hand to Brooke and the others after she stopped on the ground.

"Yo, uncle. As promised, I personally rescued you. Come on!" (To be continued......)
