A blind sand pirate brought Mahazar to the corpses with missing arms and legs, pointed at the fragments and said: "Come and take a look, boss, that's what happened, although I can't say that either." I understand, but I still feel like it’s not a good sign.”
The King of Sand Thieves was squinting one eye and watching the wisps of red smoke rising from the pile of corpses. He pulled out his scimitar, held the knife in one hand, and fiddled with the pile of corpses. At this time, a stumbling sand pirate ran over from a distance, out of breath and looking ecstatic. "Boss, we're in!"
But Mahazar only looked at the one-eyed sand bandit indifferently and asked: "When did you discover it?"
"Just now."
"They asked me to sort out the corpses. Young people always lose a lot of trophies because of their carelessness, so I put them all here. That's what happened. So, boss, what should we do?"
Mahazar was about to answer, but suddenly his attention was attracted by a faint golden line appearing in the sky. Under the towering towers there, the Sand Pirate Gates were swarming up the city wall. They chopped off the heads of those who were not dead and pushed the headless corpses off the city wall. White lights soon rose under the city wall.
And in the sky behind the tower, with the dark clouds as the background, the golden line is really slowly extending.
Until, across the night sky.
"What is that?" Mahazar suddenly turned around and asked.
"What, boss?" the one-eyed sand bandit smacked his lips.
"I ask you what is that?" Mahazar roared: "Let the people above get down!"
But it was too late.
The golden thread slowly extending forward has turned into a bunch of shooting stars.
It is getting faster and faster, and the hull is shaking more and more violently. It can't even be called shaking anymore, but it makes a deafening squeaking sound, like every ship plank and every rivet. , are all striving for their own independence and want to separate and go away.
But in this system that is about to collapse, there is a look of extreme indifference.
Luo Yu felt a rare kind of peace in his heart at this moment. Although he was not a person who liked to talk more and do less, dullness was the word he heard most since he was a child, and the other word, probably excellent, was In the eyes of others, he is probably the most perfect kind of kid from other people's families.
But talking less and doing more does not mean that there are no stirring feelings in the heart, otherwise perhaps one would not embark on such a path - although more or less, there are factors of parental influence, familiarity, and inevitably wanting to become a parent For people like that, imitating and gaining recognition are probably the first motivations for many people when they were children.
But at this moment, he suppressed the complicated thoughts and complicated emotions in his heart, and only stared at the altimeter on the magic furnace. The pointer was shaking with trembling - the principle of Etalia's altimeter is to calculate different altitudes. Generally speaking, the content of wind elements in the air is quite accurate - and the number pointed by the pointer at this moment is jumping downwards in units of one hundred per second.
Seven hundred, six hundred, five hundred...
But that number seems to have become a mere number.
Luo Yu's hands were terrifyingly steady, and he turned the three copper rings on the crystal base in sequence to set the detonation time for the last explosive crystal. But he did not put the crystal back into the fixed square, but just held it in his hand. Hundreds of crystals would detonate one after another within a delay of 0.1 to 2 seconds to avoid the time of ether shock.
Everything is fully prepared, as long as the airship can enter the predetermined location at the specified time——
But how likely is the latter? At least in Luo Yu's view, everything is certain.
The chirping girl appeared in his mind, always full of passionate energy, the complete opposite of himself.
In the dark underground of the swamp ruins, in the ancient temple, in the dense jungle, the other party seemed to have endless energy, chattering endlessly, confronting Parker tit-for-tat, and blinking at him, and saying: His spell expresses curiosity and calls him 'our hero'.
Hero, that is exactly how parents interpret this profession.
This is also the root cause he is looking for.
From the youth training camp in Tapolis until now, he has only seen ordinary selectees, but never seen any 'heroes'. The 'heroes' under the halo were too far away from him. Before meeting Fang Plov, it was difficult for him to define what a 'hero' was.
But now, it should be considered...
Father, mother.
He couldn't help but think of those gentle words:
"The first time, it's going to be a little sudden."
“In that world, people would be careful to cherish their opportunities as much as they cherish everything in this world.”
"But people always give something..."
"Pasively, or proactively."
"Only when you learn to make trade-offs can you truly grow up. With such an experience, perhaps you will truly understand the world."
The pointer on the altimeter jumped suddenly and crossed the number 300. That was exactly the lowest height for leaving the ship set by Fang Plover——
A wisp of blue flame jumped out from the overloaded magic furnace. The blue wind element turned into a bright flame the moment it touched the air. It extended backwards and ignited the sail. The long The flames were like unfurling a golden flag, fluttering in the wind.
Luo Yu looked at the flag.
…
"Luo Yu, jump off the ship."
"Luo Yu?"
"Luo Yu, are you there?"
"Luo Yu!?"
Fang Plover suddenly raised his head and looked at the sailboat burning with flames in the distance, slowly falling towards Questac - it was the distance that gave him this illusion.
The sound of wind lingered in his ears, and the green wind element wings behind him had spread to the extreme. He looked not far away, and saw Luo Hao, the box, and several guards of the Sand King. Ye Hua was in another direction. The tail feathers brought up by the wind element are just like a long cyan tail mark.
An uneasy premonition flashed through his heart. "Box, Luo Hao, call Luo Yu for me. There seems to be a problem with my communication system -"
"Luo Yu, the captain is calling you."
"Luo Yu, are you there?"
"Luo Yu?"
Fang Yu held the communication crystal tightly in his hand, but what came back to his ears from the team channel was quiet noise, and Luo Hao's low call from the box above the background sound. Listening to this voice, he seemed to suddenly Suddenly he realized that his communication system was not broken.
But all the calls fell into the sea without any response.
Fang Yu stared in that direction blankly, and finally heard that somewhat calm, familiar voice:
"I am here."
After a while, the voice came up with a clumsy excuse:
"There's a little problem."
"See you soon, everyone."
The boat, burning with raging flames, was already like a meteor falling towards the horizon, bright and dazzling.
Fang Yu gritted his teeth and watched this scene silently.
At that moment, he suddenly understood something in his heart. It was a boy's choice and a man's choice.
…
The sand pirates on the city wall seemed to be under a time spell.
In that strange scene, they passed through the city, rushing forward like a black tide, but in an instant, they stopped invariably. Everyone turned around in unison, stretched their necks, and looked at the wonderful scene in the sky, just like stone statues, only turning their necks stiffly——
Their eyes followed the rolling flames falling from the mid-air. The airship had completely turned into a ball of fire, just like a meteor falling from the sky, with a long tail flame, rising from the top of the city. , whizzing past above each of their heads.
That scene fell in the eyes of everyone who witnessed this moment, and it actually happened a little 'slowly', like watching a ball of fire slowly cross the sky, slowly cross their heads, and slowly fall towards the battlefield. Sideways, falling towards the towering spire.
When the airship burning with flames slowly passed by them, everyone seemed to have an illusion, as if they felt a gaze watching each of them on the ship.
And in that conversation, there was actually a silent observer.
Tianlan was already in tears, her hands were trembling and she could hardly hold the sword in her hand. She wanted to cry loudly, because in the end, she still didn't change anything.
But someone helped her change——
It was snow in Dulum, so white that it was dazzling.
They are fireworks blooming in the night sky, like flickering flames, reflecting into the hearts of boys and girls.
It was a bunch of holly branches with the most beautiful flowers blooming on that winter night.
It is an ancient agreement, a promise made with a young man.
With blurred tears in her eyes, Tianlan watched the flame of light extend to the end of her field of vision.
Then time resumed its flow, and the ancient magic seemed to have lost its effectiveness. The meteors streaked across the night sky and fell towards the center of the battlefield.
It was the most brilliant light.
The bright light also reflected on Mahazar's face, which turned into a snow-white color.
Amidst the huge sound, the whole world seemed to be quiet. The old sand bandit, who was blind in one eye, was gesturing with his hands, as if he wanted to say something, but all he could see was that his mouth was opening and closing, but no sound came out. Mahazar pushed the man away and walked towards his sand lizard.
But the shock wave hit us head-on, and the dust swept up like a thick wall. The king of sand thieves raised his hand in front of him, lowered his head, and let out a sharp whistle, as if he had returned to the world's voice.
He heard several sharp noises, the screams of the sand bandits, and then the noise of heavy objects falling to the ground and human bodies hitting something.
The gravel obscured everything, making the whole world dim.
…
The noble lady turned around and stared at the bright flash in the darkness.
Her expression seemed a little calm, and her eyes, like the shallow sea, sank into the dark color, but under the depth, there was still a little starlight reflected.
The violent explosion seemed to take a moment before it came from afar. The ground shook slightly, causing dust and debris to fall on the palace that had been in disrepair for a long time.
Sylvide looked at the dark red crystal in her hand, which originally belonged to Ai Xiaoxiao, and listened quietly to the conversation coming from inside. Then she gathered it into her palm, raised her head, and walked forward.
In the deep palace there, a girl ran out in a panic, holding up her skirt. She looked at the noble lady in front of her with a pale face, and asked in disbelief: "Silverde, why are you still staying in Questac? It's not safe at all now."
"And you still dare to come to this place, don't you know that they are looking for you...?"
The girl grabbed Sylvester's hand and tried to pull her out.
But after taking a step, she stopped and looked outside a little embarrassed. "By the way...it's not safe outside either. Those sand thieves might attack later. The envoy has not yet made up its mind whether to go out to help...or take an airship to avoid the risks here..."
"They think the Sand King is not here, and they have no responsibility for everything here..."
She suddenly scratched her hair: "By the way, why am I telling you this...Silverde, I have to find a way to hide you..."
The noble lady smiled slightly.
"No need to bother, Florence."
The girl was startled slightly and raised her head to look at her.
“Just do me a favor.
…
The light is fading.
The fighting battlefield seemed to be quiet for a moment. After the light dissipated, the sand bandits disappeared for a moment, disappearing without a trace, just like the tall tower that originally stood above the battlefield, leaving only the diffuse smoke and dust, and an empty scene behind the smoke.
The eldest princess gently reached out and wiped the blood on her face, but only a stain was left there. She held the sword in her hand and just watched this scene quietly.
All the knights around her, as well as the palace guards in the distance, were watching this scene.
Aleph also watched this scene, as well as the ministers behind him. In that place, Alyssa said nothing and only held the communication crystal in her hand tightly. Everyone seemed to want to see a result they hoped for from behind the diffuse smoke. If the sand bandit king Mahazar was blown to death in that place.
The sand pirates should be in chaos, and they might collapse as a result. The battlefield is a place where anything can happen.
Princess Rupert made a small fist.
She couldn't help but think of that meeting a long time ago. Those adventurers were introduced to her by Achilles himself.
In fact, she had met the young man among them once. On the communication crystal in the palace, the battle about Vanric was quite popular among the high-level nobles of Istania. For a while - because the dark dragon Nicol Bolas was more or less related to this ancient country.
The other party had also saved her sister once in Idos. Based on this alone, she would look at these people with admiration.
But she never thought that Questak and the ancient kingdom on this sea of sand would rely on and rely on these holy chosen ones for such a moment.
A miracle has happened——
But will it last?
But Malan, the goddess of war and victory, and Androma, the gatekeeper of life and death, obviously did not protect this land again.
Suddenly, everyone heard the trumpet sound above the battlefield.
Like an ancient and low whimper, it echoed on the battlefield, as if it were a giant dragon, emitting a long dragon roar from the distant horizon. Those long years are all hidden under the long sound of the trumpet, like thousands of horses galloping, sharp scimitars, and countless gray cloaks passing over the silver sand dunes.
That is the symbol of Sand Pirates.
That was the low sound of the dragon horn trombone, the trumpet sound of the King of Sand Thieves, and it came from a dragon horn from ancient times.
Everyone's heart dropped heavily.
Mahazar is not dead.
That means the battle is far from over. Princess Rupert looked behind her. There were countless injured knights, attendants and guards. Everyone's somewhat blank gaze also fell on the Princess. The feeling of just rising hope, and then falling into the valley, makes everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
But Her Royal Highness just waved the sword in her hand and said, "They are back."
"Return to Kashan Palace, we have one last chance."
"Istanians, follow my orders."
"We will never give up easily."
The girl Qingyue's voice echoed on the battlefield at this moment, flying far away.
…
Tian Lan wiped away her tears and, like a real knight, gritted her silver teeth and stood in front of the sand bandits.
After experiencing the previous big explosion, the sand pirates' minds were not clear for a while, but when faced with the little girl blocking the road, they felt a little disapproval for a while, so they all pulled out their scimitars in their sheaths and pointed in this direction. They gathered around.
Tianlan was extremely frightened, but just a voice made her persevere, and she tried her best not to turn around and run away. "Tianlan, you must face your enemy here." She raised her sword and swung it with some panic, but it was still too early. This nervous sword only cut in the air.
But the sand pirates couldn't laugh.
Because after the sword light passed.
The Sand Bandit directly in front of Tianlan swayed slightly and broke into two pieces.
A hand was placed on Tian Lan's shoulder. It was a rather gentle look. Its owner gently pressed the little girl's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, leave this place to me."
Ye Hua turned around and threw the blood-stained dagger to the ground with a bang. Then he raised his head and looked at the group of sand bandits in front of him. What he saw in his eyes was not actually the enemy, but the city far away in the horizon, burning with raging flames.
"Let's go together."
"Save my time."
And at that moment, on the other side of the battlefield.
Fang Plover also landed lightly. He pulled off the hang glider backpack behind him with just one tug and threw it away.
Then he raised his head. Apparently many people noticed the movement in this direction. The sand pirates turned around one after another, and their eyes fell on him.
Fang Yu looked at these people and gently placed his hand on the dark crystal on his chest.
The next moment, a golden starlight was reflected in everyone's eyes.
"Efreet."
"Attack."
…
Miaoshuwu
