As the first town established in Vernin by the Erathian Expeditionary Force, Harmondale has a high status in this area.
Due to the mutual scruples and checks and balances between the forces, no one can completely expel a certain force from Vilnin. With continuous development, Harmondale has become the most important town in Erathia's Vilnin region. It has promoted the economic development of surrounding towns.
Harmondale has a completely different atmosphere from Erathia. There are no high taxes like in the Erathia territory. Residents do not have to worry about being forced to recruit troops by the lord at any time, just to satisfy their own selfish desires. Instead, they can rely on their own The labor gradually became rich, and even ordinary slaves were treated equally.
Even in Erathia, there are many people who are eager to come here, and some even plan to quietly escape from their original territory, but this behavior is undoubtedly a serious crime in the eyes of their original lord.
No one thought that this town, which was originally established by the expeditionary force and not managed by the nobles, could develop to this extent.
There is also a peaceful atmosphere inside Harmondale. Residents in the city can often see elves coming and going. This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult thing. This cannot be done in other territories.
However, at this moment, the tranquility of this area is about to be broken.
In the sky above Harmondale, a ghost dragon shrouded in a pale aura loomed, making the creatures below see it very unrealistically. Even if it was occasionally noticed by other creatures staring at the sky, the ghost dragon disappeared the next moment. It will only make them regard it as an illusion.
With the help of the cover of the clouds, no creature in the city could detect the arrival of the ghost dragon.
On the back of the ghost dragon, Rhodes stood alone, staring at everything below. This was also the only creature on the ghost dragon's back.
In Rhode's hand, he was holding a crown inlaid with various gems and crystals, which was the treasure he obtained from Nagus. In the crown, an alexandrite inlaid was shining brightly.
Rhodes closed his eyes and conveyed some information through his own special perception. Then, the ghost dragon began to decline.
At the same time, a feeling of uncontrollability came from the crown in Rhode's hand. Under the influence of an inexplicable force, Rhode involuntarily lifted the crown.
As the alexandrite shone brightly, the space in front of it cracked outwards, and an extremely huge green gate of time and space appeared in front of Rhodes, extending all the way to Harmondale City below.
The portal in front of him is far larger than any portal that Rhodes has ever seen. Compared with it, the portal that Rhodes opened before to let the ghost dragon pass through is undoubtedly too small.
As soon as such a huge time and space gate appeared, there was a sudden commotion among the creatures in the city. Anyone who saw the huge portal descending from the sky would be at a loss and not understand what it was.
Even the experienced warriors in the city understood that this was a time and space gate cast by a mage, but the size of this portal still shocked them.
A human who was just under the portal was directly involved in the portal because he did not dodge in time.
Under the influence of the turbulent flow in space, his body was torn apart rapidly in the next moment, but not even a trace of blood splashed outward, but was carried away by the turbulent flow into an unknown space.
The commotion did not last long, and soon, new changes occurred inside the portal.
Because the portal itself was huge, a violent fluctuation suddenly occurred in the somewhat concave internal space, and then an extremely huge creature walked out of the portal.
It was a skeletal giant that was many times larger than a regular creature. Its body almost occupied the entire portal before it could pass through it.
As soon as the skeleton giant walked out of the portal, it trampled down many buildings, causing the creatures below to panic. Based on the terrifying appearance of the skeleton giant and its sudden behavior, anyone could see its evil intention. kindness.
Before the city's defense force arrived, the skeleton giant took action first, lowering a large number of dark clouds downwards, covering a large area in an instant.
Although the creatures below could sense a deep sense of strangeness from the falling black clouds and tried to evacuate quickly, how could their running speed keep up with the spreading speed of the black clouds? Finally, the figure disappeared into the black clouds.
Realizing the arrival of the enemy, the heavily armed knights had not yet exerted any effect, and the black cloud passed through the gaps between their armors and acted on their bodies.
Even if a creature finds a bunker or locks itself in a room, its body will be severely eroded by the pervasive invasion of the black cloud and eventually die.
In the city, a group of members dressed as priests faced the black clouds descending from the sky and jointly released a white barrier in an attempt to resist it.
Above the white barrier, a clean purifying light shines, just like the effect of the undead killer, except that it is not for offense, but to resist the erosion of death energy.
For a time, the falling black clouds were unable to do anything to this white barrier.
The barrier covers a relatively wide area, and even some ordinary creatures that are fleeing are included in the protection of the barrier.
The sudden disaster left these creatures who were lucky enough to be protected by the barrier, and the surviving creatures were at a loss. They had no idea what happened, and saw that the home they lived in was destroyed by the giant skeleton and black clouds.
Due to the sudden arrival of the black cloud, many creatures were unable to be protected by the barrier and were left inside the black cloud forever. Most of the creatures did not even realize the danger was coming and were occupied by the darkness. everything of.
Even ordinary creatures who were protected by the barrier in time and did not suffer much harm, the only thing they can do is pray in their hearts, pray that someone can solve all this, and pray that they can survive.
For these ordinary creatures, facing the black cloud that far exceeds the limit of their abilities, they can do nothing except pray. They can only look at the monks in the field, hoping that they can find a way to solve the current predicament.
The sad atmosphere continues to spread within the barrier, followed by a lingering sense of despair. No one knows what all this is for.
The black clouds made it impossible for these ordinary creatures to see clearly what was around them. Apart from the giant skeleton, they didn't know if there were any other enemies.
