Chapter 697 Investigation
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Gray leaned his waist and sneaked around the fortress. Fortunately, perhaps because of the giant dragon just now, the fortress was in chaos, and the goblins ran away tremblingly, and the others'' situation was not much better. They shouted something and ran around desperately. The scene was chaotic and even seemed a little funny.
As a mature ranger, Gray has good at stealth. Although he is not as good as the wanderer, he easily took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the fortress, and then came to an abandoned tower. He carefully avoided the shouting goblin patrol team and lay in the shadow and looked down.
In the square, a red dragon was lying there, and a strange humanoid creature stood on the top of the red dragon''s head. Its skin was like a toad with black spots, without a nose, only two nostrils facing the sky.
Gisyanki people.
Gray immediately recalled the information he obtained during the teaching of the Blade of Judgment. In order to let the Blade of Judgment know what humans and aliens are, the instructor at that time took out a lot of racial information, among which the elves, dwarves, Tifflin and Asmo were all assigned to the sub-races, while the Githyankis were alien races. Because their skulls are longer than humans, and their teeth are also different... Well, the standard for the Inquisition to distinguish whether humans are so simple and crude. As long as they meet the shape of human skulls, they are humans and sub-humans, and they are all aliens.
At this moment, the Githyanki man stood above the Red Dragon''s head, looking at the leader of the mountain giant in front of him, and they were arguing loudly, as if they were saying something. But because the rain sounds too loud, it is hard to hear clearly. Gray hesitated for a moment, slowly lurked in the shadows, and once again came to the edge of the other side.
It is obvious that the two of them became louder and louder. Although the rain was magnificent, he still heard the conversation between them as Gray approached.
"The True God is very dissatisfied with your dedication! Stupid mess! He needs more sacrifices!"
"This is not my fault!"
Faced with the accusations of the Githyanki, the leader of the mountain giant was also angry.
"There are no stinky humans here! Everything they deserve has been captured! The neighborhood has been caught!"
"You must offer your loyalty to the True God! Or do you want to become a walking dead like your ex?"
"This is not our fault!"
Faced with the accusation of the Githyanki messenger, the mountain giant roared. If it weren''t for fear of the red dragon under him, he would have wanted to grab the villain with nostrils facing the sky (literally) and bit it into pieces.
“No, just not!”
At this time, even Gray could hear that the mountain giant was approaching the brink of hysterical anger. He had no doubt that the other party would hold the stick in his hand tightly and smash it down at the arrogant Githyanki.
"Do you want us to attack the human city?!"
"This is a good idea."
Hearing the roar of the mountain giant, the Githyanki suddenly became calm. He smiled and stared at the mountain giant in front of him, as if he had heard some good news.
"Yes, you will attack the Baldur Gate, completely destroy the city, and then capture all human beings as sacrifices..."
"impossible!"
The leader of the mountain giant suddenly waved the wooden stick in his hand, which was as thick as an ancient tree. The huge wooden stick roared past the head of the Githyanki, but the Githyanki didn''t move. I don''t know if it was the leader of the Mountain Giant, or the Gisyanki who had long expected that he would not dare to do anything to him.
"Humans, cities are very big and difficult to conquer!"
"Don''t worry, I will give you strength."
The Githyanki voice suddenly became softer.
"The Supreme True God has decided to give you an incomparable honor. You will be tireless and fearless, and fight for the True God until death... This is a kind of glory..."
"you!"
Hearing this, the leader of the mountain giant seemed to have thought of something, and his originally full of energy actually trembled. Meanwhile, Gray also found that the situation seemed to have changed. The cold air around him became heavier and heavier. He originally thought it was because of the rain, but soon Gray discovered that the chill exceeded the range that it should have on rainy days. Then, a scene that shocked Gray appeared in front of him.
In the square, countless dark and cold tentacles suddenly emerged from the dark shadows on the ground. They tightly entangled the goblins, mountain giants and orcs in the square. These monsters also screamed in pain. They struggled desperately, tremblingly trying to break free from these tentacles, but they had no effect. Even the mountain giant leader roared and waved the wooden stick after pulling for a while. It seemed that it had decided that it would no longer tolerate it and swung the Githyanki and its pet Red Dragon - down.
The leader of the mountain giant suddenly fell weakly on the ground on the way. His burly and powerful arms hung softly beside him. Not only it, but all the monsters in the square were like this. They stood there blankly, their eyes were dull, as if their struggles and resistance were just fake.
What''s going on here?
Seeing this scene, Gray only felt dizzy, and he even began to doubt his eyes. Because Gray saw it very clearly, just now, the monsters were still screaming, jumping and picking up weapons to try to fight the Githyankis under the leadership of the Mountain Giant Leader, but the next moment, they stood neatly, just standing there, lowering their heads motionlessly, like well-trained guards, as if the chaotic farce had never happened before.
Could it be that I was dazzled?
The situation is wrong, very wrong. A chill rushed up along Gray''s spine, and he felt fear. At this moment, he really felt a certain fear. He might not be here, he should leave as soon as possible. In fact, this information alone is enough. He suddenly felt that what he was right, and soldiers should do what soldiers should do. Now he is no longer a lonely ranger. There is a court of judgement behind him and a blade of judgement. He can report this matter to his superiors and ask them to send someone to...
Gray stepped back carefully, but his luck was not good. The disrepaired tower seemed to have reached its limit in the storm. With a "slam" sound, the tower at Gray''s feet suddenly collapsed the next moment, and Gray also screamed and fell heavily.
Fortunately, he was quite clear-headed and almost rolled up and stood up as soon as he landed. However, at this moment he also found himself in the most desperate situation.
"I really didn''t expect that there was a little mouse here."
The Githyanki stared at Gray coldly, and the red dragon under him had opened his **** mouth at this moment, locking in the prey in front of him fiercely.
"Although I don''t know who you are,...that''s the end."
As the Githyanki spoke, the red dragon opened its mouth, and then a flame erupted out and blasted towards Grey.
At this moment, Gray felt as if he was ashamed. He could feel the heat wave that could turn himself into coke and he could not do anything. He could only stand there blankly and watch the flames rushing.
However, at this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared, and a shining shield appeared in front of Gray, blocking the breath from the red dragon. Meanwhile, Ben''s voice rang in Grey''s ears.
"Run, boy!"
Gray''s body recovered far faster than his consciousness. When Gray came to his senses, he had already turned around and rushed into the forest. The hard thorns cut through his clothes and body, but the scorching pain at this moment made Gray more awake.
He opened his eyes and looked forward, and soon he saw Ben and the others in his team.
"Why do you guys..."
"Idiot, do you think you are the only one who wants to make contributions? Let''s go! If we don''t leave, we will really become a pile of barbecue!"
As if to verify what Ben said, the angry roar of the Githyanki came from the air.
"You **** bastards! Don''t want to leave here! Catch them——!!"
Accompanied by the orders of the Githyankis, the monsters such as mountain giants and goblins who were originally standing in the square quickly took action and rushed into the forest.
Gray and his group ran in a silence. Their situation was very miserable. The red dragon hovered over their heads, spitting flames from time to time, burning the forest. And behind them, the mountain giants and goblins didn''t care about the flames at all, chasing them like suicide squads.
"Damn, what''s going on with these goblins?"
Another soldier killed a thundering goblin with a backhand sword and complained at the same time.
"When they encounter such a thing on weekdays, they have definitely been scared away long ago. How could they be so brave?"
"I don''t know either, but I saw them, they seemed to have become another thing... I don''t know what did it to them..."
Gray also turned his head and shot an arrow, piercing the eyes of a mountain giant, but the mountain giant was still steadily and did not even pull out the arrow from his own eyes, as if it did not exist at all.
"Okay, at least you really got something, it''s not just for us to take risks."
Ben complained while pushing the mage in front of him.
“Send the signal quickly, send the signal quickly!”
The mage raised his staff, and soon a firework flew out of the staff, rushing towards the sky and turning into a dazzling skull symbol. And they quickly left the place where the fireworks were released, because the next moment the flames fell from the sky, turning the ground where everyone was originally located into a sea of ??fire.
"It''s several days away from Arkham City, and they can''t see it at all!"
"I have submitted a report long ago. According to the principle, reinforcements are already on the road..."
Speaking of this, Ben raised his head again and subconsciously looked at the sky, and then his face suddenly became happy.
"Hey, they''re here!!"
Hearing Ben''s shout, Gray also raised his head, and then he saw a figure shining with bright red flames crossing the entire night sky like a meteorite, and then he hit the red dragon in the cracks!
