Chapter Ninety-Four: The Burning Labyrinth

"General Patton didn't disappoint us!" said Brand, laughing.

"In this way, the reinforcements of the Imperial Knights will no longer be able to reach here. Frem said, "It's up to us to work together and take Flame City in one go." ”

"Yes, Father, we have been waiting for this day for a long time. There is finally a chance to drive the Imperial Knights out of our homeland. Brand nodded.

At the southern foot of the Coke Mountains, Patton was beginning to count the casualties of our troops and began to clear the weapons of the defeated Imperial Knights.

"Be honest with me!" Several Eka family infantry were escorting some Imperial Knights out of the valley. There were also some soldiers who were holding their heads in their hands, squatting on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

"Alas, it's so pitiful that your boss has left you and run away!" Barton said with a smile at the soldiers.

"Spare our lives, we are all doing what we are told. Actually, it's so hot that we don't want to stay here at all. Ladies and gentlemen, let us go home!" the soldiers of the Imperial Knights pleaded in place one by one.

"We don't want to do anything to you. "I just want to know how many Imperial Knights have left in our Burning Kingdom. ”

"My lord, you also know that the Red Dragon Knights mainly rely on that group of machine people, and now due to the volcanic eruption, a large number of machine people are buried in the ground, and there is not much combat power to speak of. The main forces of the White Dragon Knights have all been eliminated by you, and now the infantry of the Red Dragon Knights at the foot of the volcano is not your opponent at all. There are still some Elephant Cavalry in Flamechase City, but they can't compete with your main force. A non-commissioned officer with a slightly higher rank in this group of soldiers said.

"By the way, as far as I know, there are many generals in your Imperial Knights who have a strong force against a hundred. Where are all these people now?" Barton asked again.

"Well, do you mean the head of the Red Dragon Knights, Lord Beast Schroeder?"

"That's right, it's this guy. "At the time of the fall of Flame City, the image of Schroeder leading the Red Dragon Knights to severely damage the Aika family is still vivid. As Barton followed Frem and them to evacuate, he felt the suffocating pressure on Schroeder.

"A while ago, he led his men to dig some treasure in the mountains. Maybe he really dug up the treasure later, so he took the deputy head of the regiment to go on a tour of the mountains and rivers. "I don't know where they are now. ”

"Is that the little girl beside the beast?" asked Barton. He clearly remembered that at that time, in addition to Schroeder, there was a powerful machine qì people who wreaked havoc in the city of Chasing Flames. When the machine stopped, a little girl appeared inside. The little girl had an unbelievable force that lifted the sculpture in front of the town hall and threw it with great ease.

"Yes, it's Irene-sama. The two of them haven't been seen since the treasure was dug up. The White Dragon Sergeant replied tremblingly.

"And what about you White Dragon Knights?" asked Barton, "besides that big mouth, what other high-ranking generals are there?"

"No, my lord, Lord Simon is the Supreme Commander of our White Dragon Knights here. The other adults were still on their way over. ”

"What? You're saying there are still troops heading to Flame City?"

"They're supposed to be here to receive the treasure. I remember Lord Simon telling us that the treasure would be escorted back to Floating City by the main force of the White Dragon Knights. ”

"Very well, your intelligence is very useful to us. The corners of Barton's mouth rose slightly, but his heart was very uneasy. "We must hurry to Flamechase City and inform Lord Frem of this. ”

On the side of Flame Chaser, Brand still commanded his troops to launch a fierce attack on the Imperial Knights, and the losses on both sides were quite heavy. And Frem took Geraint, Joshua and others to sneak into the underground of Flamechase City through a secret passage outside the city. As soon as they entered the secret passage, everyone found that the terrain of the entire secret passage was very complex, winding and circling deep underground, and there were many branch roads, like a large underground labyrinth. The floor of the passage is paved with red rocks, which is very close to the entire landscape of Isaro. The ancestors of the Aika family named this place the "Burning Labyrinth". Because the red rocks here resemble burning flames.

"This secret passage has been around since the birth of Flame Chase City, and we escaped from the secret passage in the first place. As he walked, Frem briefed the crowd on the secret passage.

"Wow, this is an underground labyrinth, and you can't get out without anyone leading the way. Joshua looked around.

The group was led by Frem to the center of the secret passage.

"The place above our heads should be the direction of the city gate. Frem paused and said, "City Hall is northeast of Flamechase City, and we're still halfway there." ”

"Is the exit to the secret passage at City Hall?" asked Joshua.

"That's right! There's a special mechanism in a corner south of the town hall. It can only be opened with the emblem that is unique to our Aika family. Therefore, the bandit brothers can't open the secret passage anyway. Frem replied.

As the crowd continued to move toward their destination, Joshua watched curiously as the facilities in the Secret Passage began, and Henar was surprisingly quiet today. Soon, everyone came to a three-way junction.

"Come on, this should be the drainage area of the bazaar. We take the middle road and we will be to the town hall in no time. Frem pointed to the middle passage.

"Haha, let's hurry up and move this way!" Joshua walked at the front of the group, and the others followed.

"Wait, can you get down this way?" Hena, who was suddenly at the end of the line, called out to everyone.

"What's wrong with you, Hernar?" Gerante noticed that Hena's expression was very wrong, "Why did you suddenly say that you want to go this way?"

"Fool, do you know the road or does Uncle Frem know the road!" Joshua shouted at Hernar, his voice echoing through the passage.

"Please, I feel something calling out to me over there, and I can't help but want to walk over. Hernar gave a pleading expression.

"But Master Frem made the right choice. Gerante said.

"But my senses tell me that something is calling over there. I had this feeling when I entered the secret passage, and now it is getting stronger and stronger, and my body seems to be no longer listening. It was as if my heart was guiding me in that direction. Heinal said.

"No kidding. The fighting was raging outside, and we had no room for respite and had to get to the town hall early. Joshua yelled at Hennar.

"Wait a minute, since we're already inside Flame Chasing City, let's try this way as she said. Frem said suddenly.

“...... Well, since Grandpa Frem has spoken for you, we'll trust you!" Joshua said to Heinal.

So, the group began to move in the direction that Hernar had said, and Gellant had been thinking about a question all the way. "Call!?is it ...... Henar?"

Heinal led the crowd through another passage through the secret passage. This new secret passage is lined with some strange statues, and even Frem himself did not know that such a secret passage existed.

"Hehe! I didn't think there was such a secret passage under Flame Chasing City, and I didn't find it for most of my life. I'm looking forward to it, what the hell is that summoning Hernar?" Frem laughed as he walked.

"Just don't lead us to a dead end, anyway. Otherwise, thousands of soldiers outside would not be able to spare her. Joshua said casually.

"Hmph, don't interrupt, I'll feel the voice of that call again. Henar glanced at Joshua.

But soon they find themselves in a dead end, with a wall made of obsidian in front of them.

"You see it's all you, it's leading us to a dead end. Joshua shouted, kicking the wall.

Suddenly, the entire passage began to shake. A statue on the side of the wall, its eyes flashing red, moved on its own. The rock on the surface of the statue shattered instantly, and a man with a silver glow like a diamond appeared in front of everyone.
