that moment--
Luo Hao only saw silver flowing down the ground under the sword, passing between the neck of the skeletal giant - the female swordsman made a turn in mid-air as lightly as a swallow, and landed behind the giant. The huge headless skeleton was slowly falling behind her, raising a cloud of dust that gradually dispersed.
Sophie then stood up and patted the dust on her shoulders, sheathed her sword and returned it to its sheath.
Luo Hao opened his mouth and was about to ask, but suddenly there was another scream. This time it was closer, only a few streets away. The scream made everyone couldn't help but bend down to cover their ears. . The vibration almost created a wave of air, sending smoke and dust billowing into the streets.
Among Sophie, Qian, and the military recruiters, the instructor reacted the fastest. He immediately turned around and looked to the south, only to hear a loud bang, and in everyone's eyes, a shadow rose straight into the sky, with thousands of waves. The rubble and building fragments seemed to temporarily block the sun's rays.
Darken the sky.
Fang Plover's reaction was only a moment slower than the three of them. When he raised his head, he could see clearly what the shadow was - huge bone wings with the aura of death, cold runes carved on the long horns, and sunken eye sockets. Inside, blue fire lingered, and under the hollow chest, the aura of decay and decay filled the air with black mist - the dragon's skeleton spread its wings, and the fear of defeat immediately penetrated into the hearts of everyone around.
As soon as it lowered its head, the blue fire immediately burned into the depths of everyone's hearts.
Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat, as if he had lost his ability to control himself. His hands and feet were cold, and he only had one desperate thought - to run away, as far as he could go.
But he hadn't forgotten the others, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Sophie and Qian. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Vislan and her companion Star Knight were motionless, like two puppets. Fang Yu opened his mouth to shout, but found that he could not make any sound at all, only some hissing noises - as if fear was tightly grasping his throat.
In an instant, an even shriller roar came down from the sky, drowning out all sounds.
That was the roar of the top undead creature.
The scream penetrated the brain.
Fang Yu felt his eyes go dark, as if the blood was pouring into his brain, blocking his sight; his brain felt like a heavy hammer, and his ears were filled with a screaming sound, like a thousand resentful souls shouting at the same time. The screams stung him so much that he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and the fear that penetrated his soul almost pressed on his shoulders and made him kneel down.
And others are even more unbearable.
The fat man had already sat down on the ground, the citizens were staggering around, women and children were screaming at the same time, and there was a cry, as if the end of the world was coming.
But it was at this moment that Fang Yu saw a ray of light seeping into his dark field of vision. It was like a small hand, tearing apart the darkness - allowing him to see a beam of red light, like a blood-red vertical line. Plunging straight down from above the clouds, it instantly penetrated the bone dragon's chest and abdomen.
It was a bloody spear that spanned between heaven and earth——
It went down vertically and passed straight through the bone dragon's body. At this moment, Fang Yu felt that the suffocating feeling subsided. He gasped for air as if he suddenly came to life. The darkness in front of him also dissipated. He raised his head and looked at the city's defense mechanism in the sky. It's running slowly.
Three more blood-red magic circles unfolded, and three beams of red light staggered down, each of which accurately penetrated the black mist surrounding the bone dragon.
Only then did Fang Plover discover that the bone dragon was not as intact as he had imagined. The huge bone wings were actually covered in scars, with one horn, one claw missing, and many ribs on its body broken - this one stood on The undead creatures at the peak of Aitalia's power have no resistance to Vanric's alchemy formation.
It flew into the sky again and again, but only to be shot down by the red light again and again.
When the last beam of red light falls in the sky——
The blood-colored light beam penetrated directly from the bone dragon's head.
The undead dragon let out a shrill scream, and its huge body exploded in mid-air. Countless winged undead creatures were flying out of the scattered black mist, like a rain of arrows. They also swooped towards the surrounding neighborhoods.
The remaining skeleton of the dragon, like a kite with a broken string, turned and fell to the southwest of the city.
"Ed, it appeared from the direction of Jackdaw Street!" Sophie's voice was filled with fear and urgency.
Fang Yu looked at the monsters swooping in the sky and nodded slowly.
"We went over-"
That is the undead vulture that blocks out the sky and the sun.
"I'll protect you." Sophie suggested.
"No, you can help me," Fang Plover's eyes reflected dense black spots: "Lead them away."
Sophie looked back at him.
Fang Yu also responded with a serious look: "I can solve it."
Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Veslan nodded. She turned around and looked forward. She pressed the hilt of the sword and it immediately turned into a streak of silver.
Accompanied by it, there was a ray of cyan brilliance - like a companion star on the side of the main star - the two rays of light were like sharp swords, piercing directly into the mighty black tide. Wherever it passed, the undead vultures all had their wings broken. The wings break and fall like rain. Although they were numerous in number and screamed around the two of them, the two rays of light just turned along one side of the building and broke through easily.
Sophie and Akane jumped over the roof of the building and jumped into another block.
Fang Plover's gaze reached this point, and then he looked away.
He raised his head and saw that the dense black spots in the air were climbing to a high point, and then turned in his direction——
In the peripheral vision, the military selector was running in this direction: "You guys, wait..."
"It's not safe in the south," the instructor shouted, "You'd better leave this place with us...!"
"Please take the others away."
Fang Yu glanced at the other party and replied like this.
He has his purpose, and he must go to the south. Whether it is the real threat of the Dragon Worship Cult or the current situation, everything needs an answer.
He adjusted the Lone King's Pride in his hand with a click, gently held the black dragon's claw, and walked forward. At the same time, his left hand unbuttoned the copper buttons of the windbreaker on his chest one by one, and pulled it back hard. The windbreaker unfolded like a flag - with a scream, a vulture enveloped it, then flew out with the windbreaker and crashed into it. On top of the rock, it rolled and flew far away.
The instructor looked at this scene and was almost stunned for a moment. How calm is this person? But he didn't know that this scene was already commonplace for Fang Plover.
How does it compare to Fenris Underground?
Not worth mentioning.
Fang Plover raised his left hand and aimed at the roof on one side. Only then did the instructor react and quickly asked, "Wait a minute, which guild are you from?"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment before he answered: "Seven Seas Brigade." There was a soft sound, and a long thin rope flew out from his hand, passing straight through the black undead birds, with the tip of the undead vulture It screamed and flew away, but immediately gathered again.
Fang Yu tilted his head, looked at the scene and made a judgment before raising his right hand and swiping lightly from left to right.
A sheet of white light was exploding in the direction drawn by his hand.
"Screaming Banshee!"
"Concussive bomb!"
Not far away, Luo Hao immediately caught those few subtle shadows among the heavy black shadows, but compared to this, when he looked at Fang Plover's back, at that moment, there was like a flash of lightning in his mind. And passed.
He suddenly opened his mouth wide, and the image flashed through his mind——
The boy in the elven ruins raised his middle finger to the descendant of Flor.
There is also the figure who walked down the playing field lightly and calmly in the mainland league.
The two shadows overlapped each other, just like the back figure in front of him...
After the white light of the shock bomb, the situation on the battlefield changed.
For low-level undead like undead vultures, concussion bombs can almost produce a full immobilization effect. Although it only lasts for a few seconds, it is enough to make them fall from the sky in pieces. Even if a few escape the net, Fish, but it won’t hurt Fang Plover’s subsequent plans.
The latter was looking up.
Several huge holes were immediately created among the black undead birds. Although they were closing at a speed visible to the naked eye, it was enough.
A fleeting opportunity was emerging in Fang Plover's eyes.
In the eyes of the instructor on the side, he only saw the latter flying up, using the zipline to rise and fall between several buildings, and soon passed through the net of undead vultures, crossed the street and reached the other end - but things were still far away. Before it was over, he saw Fang Plover turning around again and raising his head to look at the sky.
The other party put one hand on his heart and made a strange move. And suddenly, the instructor felt his heart tightening, as if an invisible force swept through the spiritual world, and the heavy oppression made him almost breathless. He seemed to be in a dark abyss——
In the endless darkness, only two golden pupils were staring down at him.
The instructor subconsciously took a step back. The illusion in front of him disappeared, and it was still the same street as before. But he was surprised to see - densely packed undead vultures in the air. I don't know what happened, but they all turned around and flew to the other side of the street in the blink of an eye. It disappeared in between.
He was stunned for a moment and looked over there, only to find that the young alchemist from before had already disappeared without a trace.
Only then did he realize that the young man must have used some means to attract these undead vultures. And the illusion he saw before must have been the work of the other party - but was it magic, alchemy, a magic device or some other power?
The instructor suddenly realized that he had never heard of a power similar to it.
"Seven Seas Troupe?"
He pondered the name and wondered whether he had ever heard of such a guild. But it was at least not one of the top ten guilds, just a first-tier guild? Or is it the emerging second-tier guild in Aitaria?
But he came back to his senses immediately and realized that this was not a place to stay for a long time - the citizens who had been rescued before had to be sent to a safe place first - so he turned back, only to find that Luo Hao in the team was standing with a look of shock on his face. Behind him, he was stammering and pointing to the other end of the street:
"Instructor, that, that is..."
The instructor looked at Luo Hao and thought that he was just surprised by the previous scene, so he nodded and said: "The other party tried to lure the monster away, so we must seize the time that others bought for us and bring the citizens to a safe place. go."
"No, instructor," Luo Hao hurriedly shook his head, but his words were inevitably a little confused in his desperation: "It's that person!"
"that person?"
"It's that... Continental League..." Luo Hao didn't know how to describe this for a while, "But his level shouldn't be so high. There's a problem..."
The instructor couldn't help but get a little angry: "What level shouldn't be so high? Who are you talking about? Luo Hao, are you unable to speak clearly?"
The fat man was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he quickly replied: "No, no, instructor."
"Why do you say no?" the instructor said loudly: "What exactly is going on? Can you explain it clearly?"
"Yes, instructor."
After Luo Hao was startled, he finally calmed down and grasped the key to the problem.
He took a breath and whispered:
"It's the target, instructor."
"Target?"
The instructor was stunned for a moment.
Luo Hao nodded slightly and whispered something in his ear.
When the latter heard this, he immediately stood on the spot.
…
When the last undead vulture fell heavily to the ground——
It flapped its wings feebly twice, and then the phosphorus fire in its eyes quickly disappeared, turning into a real white skeleton, motionless. But more than that, a faint black mist soon rose from the skeleton, as if melting under the sun, and the entire skeleton was gradually fading.
A faint black smoke curled up, and then disappeared completely when a gust of wind blew.
Fang Yu watched this scene quietly.
It seemed that after the skull dragon's last power was completely exhausted, these undead vultures born from the dark atmosphere of its corpse finally died - and not only that, there were no other undead creatures around for a long time, and the streets were quiet. one slice.
He raised his head, and the sky above his head was clear again, leaving only a blue sky - and the city's defense mechanism seemed to be shutting down, the semi-arc dome was disappearing little by little, and the red magic circle above had long since disappeared. But above the Elfendor Spire, there are many small black spots flying out at this moment:
Those were the flying dragon knights of the City Guards, and of course the combat craftsmen of the Southern Alchemist Guild.
Fang Plover also heard a sharp whistle coming from a few blocks nearby. It should be the city guards or patrol cavalry blowing the whistle. The other party should be coming in this direction - because of the city's mysterious barrier, it should be Clearly see the location where the bone dragon appeared previously.
Although it was still unclear whether the current chaos was related to that official, Fang Yu suddenly realized that he had to hurry up and find clues before the other party reached the target.
It's just that the surrounding streets are empty at the moment, which makes him a little surprised. Logically speaking, an adventurer should have arrived at this place first. However, Fang Yu thought for a moment and realized: he should not have been the only one to see the bone dragon falling to the southwest.
That was one of the top monsters in Aitaria. Even though it was killed by the city defense, there were still many precious things on the wreckage, so those adventurers should go in that direction.
This was an unexpected surprise.
He walked through an alley, and not far ahead was Jackdaw Street.
Just when he walked out, Fang Plover was surprised - here and there it looked like a street, almost like a battlefield - most of the buildings on both sides collapsed. Not only caused by the bone dragon, but also the huge scars left by the previous beams of red light.
The powerful magic melted everything, causing a layer of high-temperature crystallization to form on the street. It stretched from one end of the street to the other, tens of meters long, surrounded by potholes, and countless potholes were left on both sides. Even the embers were not extinguished, and white smoke was still rising.
However, the building on the left side of the street is obviously relatively well preserved. Except for the complete collapse of one wall, the internal structure did not receive much damage. When Fang Plover looked at the huge claw marks left on the wall, he roughly guessed that the bone dragon should have fallen from the sky and flown from one end of the street to the other.
The entire wall and roof were lifted.
He briefly restored the situation at that time, and it was not difficult to deduce the position where the bone dragon swooped down at that time.
Fang Yu subconsciously looked in that direction, and sure enough he saw a dilapidated, lonely three-story stone building standing on the side of the street - that apartment should be the first point of attack by the bone dragon, and it was also the most severely damaged. Not only the roofs and exterior walls, but almost two-thirds of the building structure have disappeared.
There is also the remains of a carriage under the apartment, but it is completely charred and has been corroded beyond its appearance. Two horse corpses are lying on the ground, and next to them is a curled up human skeleton.
Fang Yu compared the location Sophie pointed out for him on the map, and immediately realized that this apartment was where the official stayed.
He couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart when he saw this scene, and immediately realized that his premonition had become reality.
Just as he was about to walk over and check it out, he heard a noise and the wall on one side collapsed. I saw the maid with an indifferent face dragging the unconscious Baggins out from behind the wall.
When Fang Plover saw this scene, he couldn't help but be startled, and then he remembered what Sylvide had said before - he almost forgot that Siesta and Baggins had been in this place before. But if the two of them had been here, wouldn't they have experienced the previous battle?
He couldn't help but ask: "Shesta, Mr. Baggins?"
The maid shook her head slightly, indicating that it was nothing serious.
Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What happened before? Miss Siesta, did you see the target?"
Siesta just shook her head again.
Then she told Fang Yu that the two of them had just arrived at this place when they saw the bone dragon falling from the sky and attacking the apartment. She sensed something was wrong at that time, and immediately dragged Baggins and hid in a nearby pottery workshop.
As for everything after that, I don’t know anything.
However, these words at least recreated the situation for Fang Yu. It seemed that the other party's first target was, as he expected, directed at the official. Fang Pliance frowned, but he didn't expect that he was still a step too late, but who was the attacker? Is it the Dragon Worship Cult? Is this considered murder and silence?
Fang Yu couldn't be sure for a while, but this time the Dragon Worship Cult's acting style was a bit too high-profile. In public, they used bone dragons to attack the city in the bustling city, which even triggered Vanrick's self-protection mechanism.
This is a big enough fuss——
The last time Van Rijk activated the city's defense mechanism was probably during the Battle of Bain more than ten years ago.
And why is the other party so high-profile? To warn someone?
He was filled with doubts for a while.
But after thinking for a moment, Fang Yu felt that there was no way to meditate here. In addition, time was tight, so he said to the maid beside him: "You first pay attention to Mr. Baggins, Shesta, I will go up there alone to take a look." look."
"Wait." But the maid stopped her in a rare move.
Fang Plover turned around unexpectedly.
"Be careful," the maid replied calmly, "you still owe the eldest lady a promise."
Fang Yu was startled, then smiled and nodded seriously to the other party.
