The next morning, Rogge woke up on Filia's elastic thighs. He gently brushed away a few strands of hair hanging on his face and found that the goddess was also awake and looking at him.
Filia smiled at him and asked, "How was your rest?"
"very nice."
Last night, while the two were chatting about their plans, Filia gave Rogge a massage.
Filia's hands rubbed various parts of her body to relieve muscle fatigue. Rogge felt an overflowing sense of happiness and satisfaction, and fell asleep soon after.
When he woke up, not only did Rogge's physical fatigue disappear, but he was also mentally soothed by the goddess and full of energy.
Ophina's voice came from not far away, "Humph, can't you rest well? Brother, are Sister Philiya's thighs comfortable?"
Rogge stood up wisely, glanced at the sky pretendingly, and then said: "It's dawn, it's time to set off."
Ofina snorted coldly, walked closer step by step, and then rushed over, "Ah, it's so hot, I don't want to leave by myself."
A cool morning breeze blew by, blowing away Ofina's hair and lies, but the girl remained unmoved.
Rogge had no choice but to squat down. After she jumped up, he stood up and carried her on his back, knocking on Karin's door.
"Dong dong."
Karin opened the door with a worried look on her face.
"Dean Karin, we are leaving."
Karin pursed her lips and said, "Roger, I still have the children in the orphanage to take care of, so I won't go with you. You... must pay attention to your safety."
"We will."
"Yeah." Karin looked at everyone one by one again, and finally her eyes returned to Rogge.
After a moment of silence, Karin spoke first, "Go ahead."
Rogge took one last deep look at Karin, turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, Ofina suddenly jumped off Rogge's back, trotted into Karin's arms, rubbed her hard, then returned, jumped back on Rogge's back, sat down and held her steady.
Madeleine, Lunt and others also said goodbye to Karin and followed Rogge's footsteps.
"Alas." Karin sighed softly, watching their figures disappear through the city gate with worry.
…
The temporary military camp of the Viper Knights outside Galin City.
Roger found Matilda who was waiting for the army to assemble.
"Matilda, let's ride the spiritual beast over first."
"Well, air combat is different from land combat. Flying monsters will be much more flexible. You must be careful."
"clear."
"The Viper Knights are expected to arrive in two days. You must hold on until we arrive."
"Um."
"Come on, give your sister a farewell kiss!"
Without saying a word, Rogge summoned Canxing and retreated quickly.
…
At the flying speed of Canxing, Leiyin, and Leilin, it only takes half a day to get from Jialin City to Holk City.
Rogge remained alert and asked the two Thunder Eagles to pay attention to the situation on the ground.
There was nothing going on in the sky. There were only a few monsters on the ground, presumably they had broken through from elsewhere.
Everyone has more important things to do, and they can't take care of cleaning up the monsters. They can just leave it to the Viper Knights behind them.
Approaching Holk City, Rogge finally encountered the flying monster.
Just as Rogge guessed, Holk City was attacked.
An arrow killed a scavenging vulture that was far away from the herd and turned to attack them. Rogge looked at the city of Hork.
The entire majestic city was wrapped in an earth-yellow transparent cover. Over the city, densely packed small black dots shot straight into the sky, moving irregularly, like a group of chironomids by the river.
Small black dots kept hitting the cover, and each impact caused a circle of ripples, making the cover look like the surface of a lake during a rainstorm.
"Nana, what is this?" Rogge didn't know what the cover was, so he asked the knowledgeable Ofina.
"Brother, you are stupid. This must be the large-scale defense formation of Holk City. From the looks of it, it is probably earth magic."
"It should be Uncle Anderson's handiwork." Filia judged.
"It's not just the dean who released it alone. This magic has covered the whole city. The magician can't do it at all."
"I estimate that the dean's uncle should be the core, coupled with the cooperation of many earth magicians, and the support of the magic circle, we can have such a large-scale magic!"
In terms of magic, Ofina is professional, and Rogge also feels that a protective shield that can cover an entire huge and majestic city must not be simple.
This should be the defense method that Holk City does not have publicly used to deal with the crisis.
But now is the most dangerous situation.
"Roger, how do we get into the city?" Filia asked.
The protective shield must block all creatures regardless of species. Warcraft cannot get in, and neither can Rogge and others.
The reason is simple. Since it is used to respond to crises, it is impossible to set blocking species in advance. After all, no one can predict what crises will be encountered.
Rogge had no good solution for the moment and said: "Let's observe first. As long as the protective shield is there, the city will be safe. We don't have to worry."
"Brother, we can find their boss first!"
Rogge smiled and said: "Nana, you are really in my belly..."
Ofina instantly became unhappy and reached out to cover Rogge's mouth, "Bah, bah, bah, who wants to be a bug?"
Rogge grabbed Ophina's hand and squeezed it, no longer teasing her, "The flying monster will not come to Holk City for no reason. Someone or a leader should drive it. Let's find it first, and if possible, defeat it." .”
"I asked Xuan Qing to come and help." Ofina summoned Xuan Qing.
Rogge set a goal and the team immediately took action.
The two spirit eagles, one dragon and one phoenix, did not separate, but lined up in a row, flying in a large circle around Holk City.
Rogge found that their actions did not attract too much attention from the Warcraft. The Warcraft group seemed to be very focused on attacking the protective shield and did not care about other things.
This further proves the existence of a commander, and that this commander has not discovered them yet.
This group of flying monsters is mainly composed of vultures, wyverns, a variety of small birds, flying insects, etc., with huge differences in size and strength.
Most flying insects have very low bloodline, almost all at the monster level, no more than the blood transformation level, and their attack capabilities are very poor and they pose almost no threat.
Only a large locust called the Blade Demon Locust poses a greater threat. Its wings are tough and sharp, like sharp blades, and can easily cut through the armor of ordinary warriors.
The Blade Demonic Locust is somewhat similar to the spiritual beast Swordwing Dragonfly, smaller in size and more numerous.
The wyvern is the most familiar to everyone, because most of the empire's tamed dragons are wyverns. On the way to the Port of Ipuni on the airship, Rogge accompanied Orfina on the ride.
The wyvern is a sub-dragon species. The ordinary monster-level wyvern has a gentle temperament and its combat ability is not too strong.
However, under the influence of the strange magic crystal, the sharp claws of the violent flying dragon cannot be ignored.
The deep forest vulture is the core strength of this vulture species. It is named vulture because it likes carrion, but this does not prevent it from being a raptor.
The size of the deep forest vulture is huge, almost larger than the Yuanling-level Lei Lin. The hairless bird's head is covered with sarcoma, making it extremely ugly.
Rogge tried to get closer gradually. When they got closer to about 500 meters, the outermost monsters finally noticed them.
A small group of magical beasts flew towards Rogge. Rogg estimated that there were more than forty of them. He quickly told Canxing to keep distance to avoid provoking more magical beasts.
More than forty low-level flying monsters put no pressure on everyone. In the process of widening the distance, Rogge fired several arrows and killed half of the insects.
The remaining twenty or so monsters also died under the sharp claws of the spirit beasts and everyone's magic.
During the first contact, Rogge tested the flying monster's strength.
In terms of physical fitness and explosive power alone, they are not as good as land monsters, but their speed and sensitivity are very high, and they are good at sneak attacks. Warriors are not that easy to deal with.
With the number of existing air forces in Holk City, taking the initiative would be to deliver food to the Warcraft group.
The dense swarm of monsters swayed in front of her eyes. Ophina was dazzled by it. She simply closed her eyes and stopped looking. "Brother, have you found their boss?"
"There are several goals, not sure."
After hearing the discovery, Ofina rubbed her eyes and looked around, "Who are those?"
Rogge dragged Ophina's little head with one hand, put his index finger under her eyes with the other hand, and clicked on them one by one, "This big locust, this big vulture, and... this dragon."
The giant locust's body is emerald green, with a pair of wings glowing with a cold light, like a pair of thin blades.
It is very conspicuous because it is much larger than ordinary locusts, half the size of Lei Lin.
Rogge judged that this should be a Warcraft above the War Regret level, maybe it was the King of Locusts.
The size of the big vulture was even more exaggerated, a bit bigger than Xingyao Long Canxing. The tumors on the bird's head were ferocious and bright red, like masses of irregular internal organs.
The deep forest vulture seemed to have noticed Rogge and the others, and issued a sharp and unpleasant threat, constantly flapping its wings to warn them.
But Rogge believed that the dragon was the most likely leader.
The dragon was not a wyvern, but a brown dragon with dark green markings.
Its dragon scales are very special and have a wood texture, which makes its body look like a rotten wood, and the spots are like pieces of moss growing on the wood.
Ofina had never seen such a small but very weird dragon before, and asked: "Brother, what kind of dragon is this?"
"It's the Poison-spotted Wood Dragon. Even though it's small, it's a giant dragon species." Rogge replied.
"Yu!" Canxing groaned, his blue-gold dragon eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Canxing hates monsters, especially dragons.
"Huh? Is there a person on the dragon?" The distance was too far, and Ofina tried hard to see clearly, but she could only vaguely see a small human figure.
Rogge also saw it, but couldn't confirm it.
"Hey!" Lei Yin suddenly let out a long cry, confirming this.
"That's it!" Ofina affirmed.
The person carried by the demon dragon is 90% likely to be the commander of this attack, and must be related to the strange demon.
The other two monsters also need to be taken care of.
However, in the air battle, Filia and Lunt's abilities were very limited, and the fighting power of everyone was insufficient.
"Roger, look below!" Filia reminded loudly.
Rogge looked down and saw that the khaki protective shield flickered on and off and began to flicker under the continuous impact of the group of monsters.
This is a sign that the shield is about to collapse.
"Brother, the cover is about to break!" Ofina shouted worriedly.
Is it because the defensive formation is running out of energy? Or is Dean Anderson unable to support it anymore?
No matter what goes wrong, once the cover is broken, a bloody battle will begin.
"Nana, is there any way?" Rogge asked.
Ofina's brain was running rapidly, and she quickly thought of a solution, "Yes, I can make an energy conversion device and use the magic core to provide energy to maintain the protective shield!"
Ofina paused, looked at the dense group of monsters, and asked: "But brother, how can we get in with such a large group of monsters?"
