Chapter 90: Volcanic Eruption
"Oh no, Boss Jace. There seems to be a lot of people from the Aika family in front of us. Suddenly, a soldier of the Red Dragon Knights came running in a panic to report to Jace.
"Haha, Mistress Frem sent someone to pick us up?" said Hernar with a smile.
"Damn, what about people?" Jace couldn't help but shout as he saw the number of opponents growing, "And where is Jeff?
"Haha, that big stupid bear is your brother?" Joshua smiled at Jace, "We just found a cave made of red gravel in the mountain, and we went into it. Unexpectedly, the big stupid bear had no head and no brains to lead his subordinates in. Now he should be stuck in the hole and can't get out, right?"
"What are you talking about, my brother?" Jace was angry and annoyed.
"Hehe, you'd better go and see him! Joshua grimaced at Jace.
"Let's go!" Jace saw that the shape was unfavorable, and hurriedly beckoned his men to retreat from Coke Ridge, "You guys show me a walk, if you provoke our Kidd brothers, there will definitely be no good end." ”
"Boss, what about our men, they're still stuck on the mountain road!" shouted one soldier as he ran.
"Let them all fend for themselves. Get Jeff out of this idiot!" Jace shouted.
"Huh, it's hard to be played like this?" Joshua and Hernar stuck their tongues out at Jace's distant back.
"You're working together so well now, even your movements are so synchronized. Geraint laughed.
"Huh, with him (her)?" Hearing Geraint's words, the two turned their heads and glared at each other, and said in unison, "Don't be disgusting!"
"You see that even when you quarrel, you are so in tune?" said Gerant, patting his forehead, feeling helpless.
"Knight Geraint, is that you?" Suddenly, a man in silver armor with a brown beard walked up to the crowd with a heavy sword in hand.
"Judging by your attire, you must be the Infantry Commander of the Eka Family, Lord Heavysword Barton, right?" Geraint replied politely to the man. It turned out that he was the infantry commander of the Aika family, and he weighed the sword Barton. He was also a well-known garrison general, who was very good at defending and repairing the castle, and was an important figure that the Aika family relied on.
"Yes, Knight Geraint. Master Frem has sent me to meet you. After cleaning up the volcanic monsters in Coke Ridge, they had already returned to Red Earth Town. Barton said.
"Then let's go back to Red Clay with us!" said Geraint, "We just now discovered a secret research institute of the Imperial Knights on our way back from the Scorching Rift. It turns out that the recent series of anomalies here are all caused by the Imperial Knights researching a new type of magic weapon. ”
"Sure enough, they did it. Barton clenched his fists in anger.
"Hehe, but we've blown up all of their magic weapons. Joshua laughed, "I really don't know if when the master of the institute comes back and sees that his real room has become so miserable that his beard will fall off." ”
"Ahem, the owner of the institute is a woman, Joshua!" Geraint coughed, "Einstein is the chief mechanic of the Red Dragon Knights and the entire kingdom of Reims. ”
"What a *** woman!" Joshua suddenly felt a chill down his spine, "It's terrible to transform people and animals into machines!"
Joshua and his party followed Barton back to Red Clay, and no Red Dragon Knights soldiers were seen along the way. But they saw from afar that Mount Isaro had suddenly begun to erupt. The magma from the pass burst out in all directions, and thick volcanic ash filled the burning province.
"Look, all of you, the volcano has erupted!" Joshua shouted, pointing to Mount Isaro in the distance.
"It's the first time I've seen a volcano erupt when I'm so big!" said Hernar, too.
"Don't say it's you, it's the first time I've seen a volcano erupt at my age. It's spectacular!" Geraint exclaimed.
"If the volcano erupts now, the Imperial Knights' research institute will suffer. Joshua laughed.
"It's best if the volcano erupts when the bandit brothers return to the institute, so they're all buried in the lava, and it's nice to think about it!"
Frem and his eldest son, Brand, were already waiting for Geraint in the halls of the mansion in Red Earth.
"Lord Frem, I've brought Knight Geraint and his two children back to Red Earth safely. Barton got down on one knee and returned to Frem.
"Barton, you've worked hard, go down and rest first, let the Geraint knights go back and rest for a while, I have something important to announce in the evening." Frem said.
"Thank you, Lord Frem. Geraint touched her chest with one hand.
"It's up to me to thank you, Knight Geraint. If it weren't for your help, it would have taken us a long time to get rid of these volcanic monsters once and for all. Frem stood up and said.
"It's all a collaborative effort. Geraint modestly responded.
"By the way, Lord Frem, do you have anything important to announce to us in the evening, can you reveal a little bit now?" asked Gerant.
"I just received an exciting message. I don't know why, just now Mount Isaro suddenly erupted. Frem laughed.
"We saw it on our way back. The eruption was quite violent, with white smoke coming out of the crater covering much of the surrounding area. Gerante said.
"Uncle Geraint, could it be that we caused the volcanic eruption because we blew up the magic weapon in their room earlier?" Joshua asked excitedly.
"Probably because of that. Geraint nodded, "We just blew up the weapons room when we felt a strong tremor on the surface of the volcano. The new magic weapon developed by the Empire absorbs a large amount of volcanic magic, and once it explodes, the energy released from it is immeasurable. Moreover, this magic-related energy tends to last for a long time, and is not as powerful as dynamite can be instantaneous. ”
"Looks like you've done another great job, Knight Geraint!" Fram laughed, "because of this eruption of Mount Isaro, there have been landslides in many areas of the vicinity. A large number of the Red Dragon Knights' combat weapons were buried in the ground, and the losses were very heavy. Now the entire Imperial Knights are mobilizing to begin digging up the buried battle weapons. They had just finished digging in the mountains and were about to start digging for weapons again, which was pitiful. ”
"Hmph! These wicked members of the Imperial Knights have colluded with the bandit Kidd brothers to persecute the inhabitants of this place everywhere, and they have also sat back and watched a large number of volcanic monsters wreak havoc, and they deserve it now. Brand said.
"Lord Frem, I've always suspected that the Red Dragon Knights stopped their crackdown on you and started looking for something like a shard. You said they were mining in the mountains, and now they've come back to dig up combat weapons buried by the rocks. It looks like the pieces have fallen into their hands......" Geraint said.
"There's another fragment of the Holy Sword here?" Joshua's eyes widened, and he pulled the fragment from his bosom that he had captured on Mick Island. The fragments still glowed with a faint holy light.
"This is the fragment of the Holy Sword, it's the first time I've seen it in my life. Just a fragment actually has such a powerful divine power, it is really hard to imagine what kind of power a complete holy sword should have. Frem carefully observed the fragment in Joshua's hand.
"If it is found by the Imperial Knights, then it is very likely that the Empire will send new troops to receive the fragments. We have to find it quickly. "We didn't find any trace of the debris in the real room just now. ”
"That fragment should be hidden in Flamechase City, guarded by some of the Imperial Knights' generals. "I'm going to announce in the evening that we're ready to retake Flamechase City while the Imperial Knights are busy picking up the pieces. It seems that this operation will help you find the shards of the Holy Sword in addition to reclaiming our territory. ”
