"Ha ha!"
Zhenna gasped for air while trying hard to drive her legs that seemed to be filled with lead, and ran forward as hard as she could.
The weakness caused by fatigue and blood loss could knock her down at any time, but she could not stop, and the sound of the pursuing horses' hooves stuck to her back, lingering.
The heavy armor and the sword on her shoulders slowed down her pace. If she abandoned her armor and weapons, she would undoubtedly be able to run faster, but that would also mean giving up her last means of resistance.
When she was pushed to the end of her rope, she still hoped that she could at least have the honorable death that a knight should have.
Just running like this, there is no hope of getting rid of the pursuers.
Maybe it’s better to save some physical strength and fight to the death with those traitors!
With such hesitation, a clearing suddenly appeared in front of her, and a broken tower suddenly came into view.
The gate of the tower has been destroyed. In the past, when the red dragon Helganorn used this place as his lair, in order to facilitate his own access, he directly destroyed the stone gate, leaving only a dark and deep doorway.
remains?
Zhenna's eyes widened in surprise.
She knew that someone among the pursuers was riding a Lu Xinglong with a keen sense of smell. Whether he entered the ruins to hide or escaped around the ruins, there was probably no way he could deceive Lu Xinglong's nose.
However, if you enter the tower first to explore, you may have the opportunity to find terrain advantages that can be used to ambush the pursuers, slightly increasing the originally almost zero survival rate.
The sound of horse hooves behind her became clearer and clearer, and she had no time to think deeply now.
Finally she gritted her teeth, rushed up the steps of the tower, and plunged into the dark doorway.
Ten seconds later, the pursuers slowed down about a hundred meters away from the tower. The knight riding the Land Dragon led his two subordinates to run around the open space where the tower was located, and he and other subordinates stood in front of the tower gate. After meeting in the right directions, Lu Xinglong suddenly stretched his neck and roared in the direction of the door.
"Your Highness has entered." The leading knight said solemnly, "Continue to act as planned!"
The knights did not reply with their voices, but responded with uniform salutes on horseback.
In the tower, Zhenna summoned a faint holy light in the palm of her hand and walked vigilantly through the dark corridor. What appeared in front of her was a somewhat dilapidated but quite grand hall. On the opposite wall, there was a tower nearly five meters high. The stone grandfather clock, the huge pendulum is still swinging back and forth.
She walked cautiously into the hall and looked around.
She sniffed and suddenly shuddered.
Footsteps suddenly sounded, echoing in the hall.
"Who!?" Zhenna immediately pointed her sword in the direction of the sound, which was a walkway leading to the inner room.
Then a figure wearing a large coat walked out of the shadows of the corridor.
"I never thought that guests would come to me even when I live in such a remote place. I'm so glad to see you!" Li Yuan greeted the female knight pleasantly as soon as he appeared.
He used shape-shifting to completely hide his dragon characteristics, and tried his best to show a warm and hospitable attitude.
A few minutes ago, he and Stone quickly cleaned the hall, covering up the many marks left by Helganorn, and not even a single scale fell off.
Dragons in this world are generally violent and like to eat people, so they are notorious. As far as Helganorn's experience is concerned, people who see the red dragon will basically fall into uncontrollable panic or nervousness. Most people will run away with all their strength, some will kneel down and beg for mercy, and a few will fight for mercy. Lao Ming Attack - Female Knight is the last type.
dialogue? Basically non-existent. Of course, Helganorn doesn't bother to talk to humanoids most of the time.
In my memory, the female knight was in a state of extreme nervousness and vigilance, which could be said to be on the verge of breaking out.
And with Helganorn's original violent temper and territorial awareness, he would not give the other party time to explain to the intruders who entered the lair. It was almost inevitable that the two sides would start a fight on the spot.
So now he must find a way to calm the other party's emotions before explaining the situation.
If the other party recognized him as a red dragon right away, it would be extremely difficult to have a normal conversation, let alone gain the other party's trust.
"Shut up, you damn dragon!!" Zhenna's roar interrupted his thoughts.
Li Yuan was stunned and didn't understand why he was suddenly exposed.
"Apart from the red dragon's lair and volcanoes, where else can there be such a strong smell of sulfur?" After finishing speaking, Zhenna had already placed her sword in front of her.
Li Yuan fell into silence. He didn't smell any sulfur smell at all. After being in the lair for a long time, his body had already developed olfactory fatigue from this smell.
"My lord, it has been detected that the target's hostility has increased significantly. Are you sure this is a guest?" Shitou, who was hiding behind a pillar not far away, whispered to Li Yuan.
"Shitou, why didn't you remind me that there was a smell here?" Li Yuan did not turn his face, but asked his housekeeper in a deep voice.
"Please don't embarrass my master, I have no sense of smell at all." Shitou defended in a calm voice.
It seems that this is indeed the case... Li Yuan realized his mistake.
At this time, Zhenna has completely entered the battle state.
"Supreme Light, please protect us!!" With a loud roar, the rune armor on her body emitted a dazzling holy light.
He couldn't be deceived by this cunning evil dragon. He must have made a disguise just to make him relax his vigilance!
If you turn around and run away from this distance, you will be killed immediately, so you can only fight!
Facing such a powerful enemy, hesitation means death!
The high pressure of being continuously hunted made her nerves tense all the time. She was almost driven crazy, like a cat whose hair was constantly blowing. Any danger would make her explode.
"Calm down first..." Li Yuan tried to stop the female knight with words.
But Zhenna couldn't listen at all, and a suspended light-forged sword had condensed in front of her.
How could a dragon let go of a human who broke into its lair? If you let down your guard, you will be killed on the spot!
Li Yuan saw this move of the female knight in Red Dragon's memory and reacted instinctively.
When the light-cast Blade of Judgment flew towards him, he kicked hard towards the ground. At the same time, the large robe he wore suddenly changed into the wings flapping on his back, and in the blink of an eye he was brought close to the dome of the hall. Height, avoided the attack.
"Evil red dragon!" Seeing the dragon characteristics appearing on the opponent's body, Zhenna gritted her teeth more and more nervously.
No, this guy has no brains to think anymore... Li Yuan thought to himself.
There is already a huge gap between red dragons and humans. The pressure of being hunted and the panic of encountering a red dragon further overwhelm Zhenna's rationality. How should she talk to a person who is going crazy?
In a flash of inspiration, he suddenly realized that there was no need to stick to asking the other party to put down their hostility, it was enough to stop the fight first!
Zhenna was about to pursue him when Li Yuan, who was flying in mid-air, suddenly asked Zhenna aggressively:
"Enough humanity! Do you have to insult me in this way? It's so shameless!!"
"What?" Zhenna was always on guard against the red dragon's counterattack, but she didn't expect that the other party would curse so loudly, leaving her stunned.
Seeing that his words were effective, Li Yuan continued his performance in a majestic tone:
"I am the red dragon Helganorn, the master of this place. I am not afraid of any challenger! But how dare you drag your wounded body to challenge a noble true dragon!? You are so arrogant and stupid. I have no interest in killing such a noble dragon!" You idiot, you don’t deserve to die in my hands, I advise you not to be ungrateful!!”
In Helganorn's memory, the female knight naturally showed regret and unwillingness when she was defeated, but when she was about to receive the last blow and was dying, her expression suddenly became relieved - death At the hands of a giant dragon, it seemed like a passable way to die for a knight.
Li Yuan felt that if the other party was such a knight who respected honor, then such words should have some effect.
