On the Yatan Plateau, a loud eagle whistle broke through the tranquility of the night.
The handsome giant eagle spread its wings and soared in the sky, with two figures vaguely visible on its back.
The space on the eagle's body was limited, so the two could only stick close to each other, but neither Li Ang nor Marlenia felt any charm or ambiguity.
Because they were covered in armor from head to toe, even if they hugged each other, all they could feel was the hardness and coldness of the metal.
Not being able to keep her feet on the ground made Marlenia slightly uneasy, her body always tense.
Li Ang noticed this emotion, so he took the initiative to stir up the topic and divert his attention: "Enter the royal city to find Menggert, and then what?"
Marlenia retracted her gaze to the ground and replied without thinking: "Ask him about the whereabouts of his brother and Mengge."
"What if he doesn't say it?" Li Ang asked again.
Marlenia's expression suddenly turned cold: "Then kill him!"
Li Ang's murderous intent stabbed his back like a thorn, and he raised his eyebrows: "It's simple and crude, but I like it."
The bionic giant eagle carried the two of them and galloped toward the southeast. As long as they stepped onto the Yatan Plateau, they could see the majestic and towering walls of the royal city. It was basically impossible to go in the wrong direction.
The city wall is surrounded by trenches, and the outermost layer has various tents and tents stretching up and down; there is a blazing bonfire every ten steps, making it impossible to hide the dirty things hidden in the shadows; countless soldiers of the royal city are stationed there. Here, we are ready to respond to invading enemies at any time.
The troops are waiting for the enemy to be ready, giving people the illusion that the war is not over yet.
It's just that although they guarded every traffic artery leading to the royal city, they only ignored the sky.
With the cover of darkness, the giant eagle easily passed through the first line of defense.
Li Ang looked at the Rodel soldiers patrolling on the ground and said, "It seems that Menggert has learned the lesson from last time and is determined to keep any possible war out of the royal city."
Marlenia commented pertinently: "Although Menggert's background is flawed, his strength cannot be underestimated. After the coalition forces broke through the outer city, they never made any progress. Even if I didn't retreat because of my brother, I'm afraid the coalition forces want to capture the royal city. A very high price must be paid.”
Not only did Mongert learn a lesson, but so did she. For example, she could now explain her past failures calmly.
"The invisible blessing king, tsk." Li Ang sighed thoughtfully, then remembered something and asked: "How is the corruption in you lately?"
Speaking of this, Marlenia's tone instantly relaxed: "Thanks to your help, I haven't heard the whispers of corruption for a long time. Plus, with the golden needle left by my brother, even if something like the last time happened, I would still have it." Confidence continues to suppress it.”
The last time she was talking about was the time she lost to Latarn.
"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet. What can I do for you? Or whatever you want, I can try to satisfy you."
Li Ang laughed and said, "That's too polite. Your Highness, we are all members of our family."
Marlenia insisted: "No, my brother once taught me to know how to repay kindness. Now you are our brother and sister's biggest benefactor."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Li Ang delayed: "Then I'll think about it and tell you after I think about it."
"Okay." Marlenia planned to think about how to repay him. Unless this matter was resolved, there would always be a sense of shame lingering in her heart.
While the two were talking, the giant eagle had already approached the outer wall of the royal city along the wide stone avenue.
Different from the danger of Stonewell and the magnificence of Kallia Academy, the style of Royal City Rodel is majestic and grand, trying its best to show the majesty of the royal family to all who arrive here.
A huge platform rises up step by step according to the terrain, with pairs of giant statues arranged on both sides, like gods.
There are multiple false porches and various columns behind the statue. Although they have no practical purpose, they embody the willingness to spare financial and material resources to demonstrate the sacredness of the king's power.
Several teams of fully armed Rodel knights patrolled back and forth on the platform.
In front of the towering city gate, which is far larger than the normal size, there are two big tree guards with big halberds on their shoulders. They and the seated horses are both covered in thick golden tree armor. They are tall and look straight.
Above the closed city gate, a flag embroidered with a golden tree pattern rolled in the dry night wind of the plateau, silently watching the rise and fall of the dynasty.
Bayek's wingtips passed over the flag, and the more magnificent inner city gradually appeared in front of Leon and Malenia.
Like a terrifying giant beast crawling down, aggressive.
Looking down at the chaotic battlefield ruins between the two city walls, Li Ang asked in confusion: "Don't the people in the royal city have the habit of cleaning the battlefield?"
Marlenia shook her head: "No, this is a warning, so that people can remember it."
At this time, Li Ang thought that the petrified ancient dragon corpse in the center of the royal city probably had the same reason.
The gates of the inner city were also ordered by Menggert to prohibit random entry and exit. In front of the closed gates, a group of people carrying golden tree flags knelt on the ground, begging for permission to enter the city, but received no response.
"The nobles who escaped from the royal city before the war have lost the qualification to enter the city again." Marlenia explained.
Li Ang patted the giant eagle's neck and motioned it to fly higher to avoid being discovered.
The first perspective of climbing over the inner city wall and going deep into Rodel is extremely shocking. The golden roofs are staggered in height, various building towers are lined up in rows, the streets are criss-crossed, and the golden tree that covers the sky is located in the back, emitting soft light, and in the distance The flocks of birds flying everywhere add to the sacred atmosphere of the entire city.
Marlenia pointed to the tallest dome-shaped building at the foot of the golden tree: "Let's go to the front. It used to be the residence of Queen Malika and her husband. Menggert should be there."
Li Ang wondered if the Queen and Prince Husband were your parents, why were they called so distant.
But then I thought about it, Mrs. Wang might also be referring to her ex-husband.
At this moment, Melina's voice sounded in his mind: "Rodel, long time no see, I didn't expect that one day I would be able to come back. Can you let me go down and have a look later? Thank you."
Because she has a special mission, as a spirit body she can move freely in the royal city.
"You have already said thank you to me, what else can you do?" Li Ang responded with a smile: "Wait until I find a suitable position."
"Yes." After Melina finished speaking, she added in a strange way: "I will be back soon, you don't have to worry."
Li Ang thought to himself that he wasn't worried either.
"Okay, I'm not worried. Just pay attention to your safety and go back early."
Melina agreed and stopped talking.
On the way to the queen's boudoir, a petrified dragon corpse about several hundred meters long was very eye-catching. It spread its huge wings and occupied the most central position in the royal city.
Even after many years of death, he still maintains his head held high and roaring.
The object of the roar was the shining golden sacred tree.
Not far from the dragon corpse, there was a super-large golden alien spear, like two spirals of lightning intertwined.
If Li Ang remembers correctly, the name of this dragon is [Gran Sanx], and the spear inserted deeply into the ground at an angle is its weapon.
Many years ago, because it was dissatisfied with the Golden Dynasty, it launched a brazen attack on the royal city.
Although he died in the end, he became the first enemy in history to break through the double city wall and invade the inner city of Rodel, and was passed down from generation to generation.
This raid also became the trigger for the war between the Golden Dynasty and the ancient dragons.
Li Ang let the giant eagle land on the handle of the lightning spear, and then jumped off the eagle's back.
The next second, a large number of blue light spots escaped from his body.
Because there were other people present, Melina did not show up, but chose to leave directly.
Marlenia looked at the light spots floating in the distance and asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
Li Ang asked back: "What would you think if your mother, Queen Malika, gave you another sister?"
"My thoughts?" Marlenia was a little confused.
Li Ang didn't say anything else, he just walked down the big spear, walked to the middle, and stamped his feet suddenly.
Large chunks of rusty skin fell off the spear body and smashed into the city.
Then he bent down and picked up something.
[Thunder and Lightning of Gulan Sanx]
The spear cut from the weapon of the 'Great Ancient Dragon' Gulan Sanks is a smaller version of the Lightning Spear. It contains the power of red thunder and lightning and is one of the legendary weapons.
But who made it has been unknown for a long time. Anyway, it is now cheaper for Li Ang.
After taking the things, he turned around and ran, sat back on the back of the eagle, and urged Bayek to take off as soon as possible.
The movement was so loud just now, someone would definitely notice it.
Sure enough, shortly after Bayek took off, several dazzling azure stones passed by him.
He is the magician responsible for guarding the Thunder Spear.
At this time, the soldiers in the royal city finally discovered that someone had broken in, and the whole city instantly fell into chaos.
The army begins to gather, and a giant beast named Rodel awakens.
The giant eagle kept flapping its wings, adjusting its position to avoid various arrows and magic flying from the ground, and quickly rushed to the queen's boudoir ahead.
"What about the unexpected surprise?" Marlenia twisted her waist uneasily.
Li Ang was now sitting behind her, holding her waist with one hand, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Isn't this a surprise? Look at those knights, they are almost scared out of their wits. Looking at the history of the dynasty, we are the second people to break into Rodel head-on, right?"
Li Ang was afraid of falling from the giant eagle, so he subconsciously looked for something to hold on to, so he didn't even realize that he was hugging his waist.
Besides, the Valkyrie's solid gold armor is so rigid that it doesn't feel like anything when you hug it.
Marlenia was embarrassed to say it clearly, so she could only keep hinting to herself: This is a lifesaver, just a hug, it doesn't matter, he definitely didn't mean it.
While she was upset, Bayek had already flown to the queen's boudoir.
It has a round golden dome, the lower drum base is surrounded by multiple square columns, and there is a vestibule formed by a gabled roof in the front. Above the recessed arc-shaped doorway, there is a huge golden tree relief, indicating the core importance of this building. .
There is a covered bridge behind the boudoir connected to the golden tree. The two rely on each other and both prosper.
Bayek circled in the air several times and finally landed on the steps in front of the boudoir.
After a while, countless Rodel defenders swarmed in, blocking Li Ang's retreat.
Unfortunately, due to Menggert's order and respect for Malika, the soldiers did not dare to get even half a step closer. They could only shout from a distance, advising the two to capture her as soon as possible.
The fiercely burning torches in the hands of the soldiers turned the sky into pale red, which also represented the uncontrollable anger in their hearts.
What a shame!
If Li Ang hadn't taken the initiative to expose him, no one would have noticed that an outsider had broken into the royal city.
Thinking of this, the soldiers couldn't help but started shouting and cursing loudly.
As a result, the two of them turned a deaf ear and completely ignored this group of people. Li Ang took back the giant eagle, while Marlenia looked up at the golden tree and sighed: "I haven't been back for a long time."
At the same time, the noise outside disturbed the people in the boudoir.
"Marlenia? You actually have the nerve to step into the royal city!"
His voice is only heard, but his person is not seen. It seems that the rightful owner does not want to show up in front of too many people.
"Mongert, my visit this time has nothing to do with the throne. I just have something to ask you." Marlenia said calmly: "I will leave immediately after asking. You can continue to be your King of Rodel." ."
Menggert, who was hiding in the dark, laughed a few times: "Arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant. It seems that Galid's failure did not make you have much memory."
"Since you took the initiative to send me here, let's avenge old and new grudges together!"
Li Ang suddenly interrupted: "Malkit, you can't get revenge by hiding your head and tail like this."
As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in the boudoir.
After about a few minutes, Menggert spoke again: "Sure enough, the subordinates of rude people don't know what etiquette is."
"Soldiers, please disperse for now. Leave the rest to me."
It’s still painful Kavin time
