Volume 3: The Dragon and the Song of the Wind Chapter 118: The Siege of the Church (1)
"Thankfully, Glori was only bruised. ”
Dylan gave his horse to Glori, and then jumped onto Elris's brown horse.
At this moment, everyone rode all the way to the glaive cliff. The banks of the river were full of soldiers patrolling back and forth, and they had to go straight to the cliffs, saving some time even if they encountered the enemy.
"Yesterday, Baron Victor died. He said he couldn't protect his faith to the end. I guess that it was a belief that existed to revitalize the Shinno clan. When Kanther and I discussed their plans, they always mentioned the purpose of Corritz, and Corriz also wanted to revitalize the Shinno. "Aldwin is very calm and just takes matters into account.
"However, Victor has followed his faith to the end, sacrificing himself to keep us alive to help the Night Wandering Church. To me and my companions, he used to be an enemy—he would use any means to an end. And now he has done it for the sake of his faith, and in this respect he is a respectable enemy. Glori said quietly.
Glori then tugged at the fluffy bandage of his right hand with his mouth and retied it with his left hand. He was silent for a moment, and he had a new idea of Coritz - except that he had to see it with his own eyes.
"But I've never been sure that Kritz thinks so. Now, it is the afternoon of the 18th. According to Coritz's original plan, he was supposed to launch an attack on Mochizuki Castle from the sea on the 20th, but he was unable to do so. For that day was also the day when the lord of the city besieged the church. Kryz used all of his men on defense. Paz said disappointedly.
"It took us almost two days to get from here to the Glaive Cliffs. With Elris's blessing, she might be able to arrive on time for the 20th. Glori thought calmly.
"That's what you said, don't look for me if you mess up your hairstyle. God of Light, I hereby ask for your blessings. ”
Iris prayed while holding Dylan, and then she gently stroked the horse's back. In this way, the horse became relaxed and raised his head and neighed a few times. As the curtain of colorful light fell, all the horses who had been blessed cheered up.
"Do you have any new progress on the clues of the dragon god?" Paz suddenly remembered this.
"In the past few days, we have been to several research institutes in Guduo one after another, but apart from some research materials, we have gained nothing. Glori replied calmly, without a look of disappointment.
"It's all a record of rumors about the resurrection. "Iris remembers it well. She and Zoe also collected a number of scroll records on the subject, all from Gudo's institute.
“...... It's good, we need this state of motivation. Aldwin laughed.
"Where are the Mochizuki Legions now?" Glori asked Aldwin. In fact, he wanted to know what the Mochizuki Castle Lord did to besiege the church.
"A rocky mound not far from Steel Sword Castle, a place with complex terrain. Paz snatched Aldwin's chance to speak.
"They're going to rest there, maybe they're going to gather more troops. If nothing else, there is also the support of the Royal Swordsmen of the Order Clan. Fortunately, we still have time to organize our defenses. Aldwin explained.
"Hmm...... Tomorrow we will arrive, and these blessed horses do not want our plans to fall through. Iris hugged Dylan tightly.
"Hey, you guys keep up! Haha! Look at this energetic guy, how fast he runs. Dylan bowed, feeling the joy of being blown by the wind.
"Will, Path, Aldwin, we're going to chase you, Brother Dylan, we won't always make you complacent!" Glory spurred his horse. Way, Path, and Aldwin followed.
"Wait, Pod still has Aina! she can't ride that fast!" shouted Zoe from behind.
"Let's let them go first. Then, the two of us waited for Pod and Aina. Susan looked back at the pod that had been thrown off.
"Hurry up! for ...... You'd better look at the back!"
At this time, Zoe heard Susan shout. Zoe looked towards the place behind the pod where heaven and earth met, where there was a dense black queue and a black dragon flying towards it.
"Glori, there's a situation in the back. We'll have to wait for them!" Willis shouted to Glorry. Glori pulled the reins and turned the horse's head to look where Wei was pointing.
"Zoe, hurry up, we need to get to the Night Parade church as soon as possible!" Glori wanted to cast his magic, but it was too far away to shout.
After a while, the black dragon caught up. It lowers its flight attitude and spits flames from its mouth. In order to cover the pods, Susan picks up a bow and arrows to fight back.
"I pray, O dragon god," said Pod, holding Aina in her arms, riding away from the dragon flames, and chanting a spell, "so that this grassland, which has given birth to countless creatures, will shelter us from the safe evacuation." ”
When the pods had finished praying, the grass responded like a soul, growing at an unusual rate, becoming as tall as a tree, covering the crowd, and the flames spat out by the black dragon were swallowed up by the wet young grass—the grass kept growing, and even if it turned to ashes, new blades of grass came to obscure it.
"Sister, let's catch up with Brother Glori. Aina blinked, looking up at Pod's face.
In order to reassure Aina, she put the bright moonlight in her hand into Aina's hand - on Wanyue Island, giving a small cloud of magic power to her partner is a blessing. Moreover, Aina can't be protected all the time, she needs to grow! Giving magic is the best way to do it. Love Book House
"Damn, it's the Remnant Moon Clan!"
Thorne was even more convinced of his judgment when he saw the blessing ceremony performed by the pod. He rode the black dragon and swung his sword into the grass. The sword wave was engulfed in the lush grass like the flames of the black dragon. Then, he gave up the chase.
As night fell, the station of the Mochizuki Legion in the distance was filled with firelight. There are also high arrow towers and deep trenches. Glori and the others' horses were recovering in the meadow, and they were ready to hike. Now, they are in the right front of Steel Sword Castle, which is to the northeast. They plan to travel from the previously discovered cave to the Glaive Cliffs.
At this time, the Steel Sword Castle and the Church were in conflict, and the sounds of fighting were often heard from the cliffs. On the north side of the cliff, there are soldiers who have come to support from the stronghold of the Mochizuki Legion.
"It seems that the city lord can't wait to break through the Night Tour Church, and there are fires everywhere. This does not correspond to the message sent by the church outpost. Paz sighed.
"Don't despair, they haven't launched a general offensive yet. That means we still have a chance. Glori reassured.
"Don't you dislike your adoptive father, but you should be as much as I don't want innocent people to die. Aldwin smiled at Glori and said to Path.
"Well, you're right, there are innocent villagers among them. Not only the church, but they are also the ones we want to save. Paz said helplessly.
"Either way, we can't let the puppets of the Order Clan take control of the Church, it's too bad for the future, and it will make it more difficult for the Revival Legion to reclaim the Plains. We're going to help Kryze, and we're going to have to stop this. Glori stood up, fastened his cape, put his hood on, and examined the two swords at his waist.
"I've missed Leo a little bit. He's supposed to come, right?" said Paz with a laugh.
"One more person is a strength, I hope so. Unfortunately, the outcome of this battle was what Silver wanted, and he wanted the plains to be weakened, so Lord Canther said to me when he met us quietly. Aldwin acquiesced.
"So, Captain, let's go!" Dylan threw the chicken leg bones on the ground and even made a decent bow.
"The final beneficiary cannot be the city lord. Things have come to this point, so let's make a big fuss. At the very least, we'll have to hell with the Castle Lord's plans!" Glori had already shifted his pace.
"Oh, you really dare to say it, so let's do it!" Wei was ready.
So, everyone changed their plans to go to the church rendezvous, and went directly to the Mochizuki Legion's rocky hill stronghold.
"Oh my God, you must be crazy, do you want to fight off an entire legion like this? Well, you're lucky to have a level-headed guy with you. I can still take care of you when you're hurt. Iris muttered to herself. She wanted to call for the fire refining, but the fire snoozed on her shoulder.
"Come on, we're all crazy. Zoe pressed Irris's shoulder, pushing Irres' posture down.
As the crowd approached the mound, the soldier's voice grew closer.
"What the hell is going on with this grass? This thing has been growing since just now, is there another monster in charge of this land? One soldier muttered.
"Ha, that's a new thing. Another patrolling soldier followed.
"Perhaps, it's time for you to sleep. Have a good dream!" Dylan didn't wait for Glory to finish his plan before he suddenly appeared and stunned one of the soldiers with the edges of his shield. And Wei Ye could only cover the mouth of the other soldier, drag him into the grass, and twist his neck.
"So, what's next?" asked Paz.
Just as Paz was finishing, a changing of the guard soldier appeared. He screamed, "Someone!
"Don't look at me, how would I have known they were going to change the guard at this time......" Dylan said embarrassedly. The people behind him were staring at him.
"We were discussing a plan, and you suddenly jumped out......" Aldwin said, also embarrassed, spreading his hands. He just cooperated, making all the difficulties seem less obvious.
"It's really embarrassing, in that case, let's just rush over it. Wei said, raising his shield. The shield's glowing green light protected the crowd. In this way, everyone has a magical barrier.
"God of Flame, please lend me the Flame Spear!" Zoe knocked down the changing of the guard, "God of Flame, I am here to summon the fire of calamity and punish the wicked!" Suddenly, the sky was dyed red, the vision became clear, and several meteorites fell towards the mound.
"Oh my God, Zoe, your magic has gotten stronger. Surprised, Iris stepped forward to support Zoe.
"At Grimrose's inn, Andrew instructed me in this magic. He's my mentor now. However, he is an existence that I cannot surpass. Zoe explained as she looked at the falling meteorite. She felt the rapid passage of her magic, staggered to her feet, and gasped for breath sharply.
"So...... Dylan, it's our turn!" Glori drew his sword and rushed to the hilly.
"Glori, we're fine, we're going to be able to do it. Dylan stabbed a soldier down.
