"Niederhogg... Their target is niederhogg?"
In a moment of silence, Lucian''s face was filled with disbelief, and his silver gray pupils trembled. The expression could not be described as surprise.
That''s fear.
Under the howling cold wind, the sweaty gray pupil boy tried his best to calm himself down. His right hand clenched the handle of the sword had stretched green tendons, and his rapid breathing could not even keep up with his heartbeat!
Why... Why on earth
How could this be?!
The memory of the last trip to niederhogg flashed in my mind, and countless questions came to my mind; Lucian gasped in a trance, but the last bit of reason in his heart didn''t make him completely crazy.
Isaac noticed something wrong with Lucian. As soon as he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Loren and nodded silently.
Now the mental state of the gray pupil boy is obviously wrong. He may have noticed something he can''t believe - if he interrupts him rashly at this time, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.
After stopping Isaac, the black haired wizard''s vision returned to the endless demon army under the cliff, took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and fell into meditation.
Sudden orders, the mystery of blood skeleton Valley, and... Unexpected demon army.
Whenever the dark haired wizard thinks he has finally solved a mystery, soon another incredible "truth" will be thrown to him, just like a changing maze, which will never find an exit.
There are no clues, no ideas, no answers, only one incredible "truth" after another.
One "accident after another".
The atmosphere became more and more dignified. After taking a few deep breaths, Lucian''s expression gradually stabilized, biting his teeth to keep himself awake.
"Are you better?"
The dark haired wizard suddenly said.
Grey pupil didn''t speak, just bit his lower lip and nodded.
"That''s good, because we all have to keep calm and rational now. This is not the time to panic." Lauren pressed his shoulder with a "pa!":
"I hate accidents and any unexpected things - but since it happened, we must solve and deal with these bad things - calm down, okay?!"
Nodding blankly, ruthen looked at the black haired wizard and Isaac Grantham next to him. He looked a little helpless.
Seeing the daze on the gray pupil boy''s cheek, Loren couldn''t help sighing - no matter how gifted, he was only a 14-year-old boy after all. It didn''t seem strange that he would look like this when he met something beyond his imagination.
Can we only think of another way?
Since it can be basically determined that the target of the demons is the Dragon King City, the initial plan can basically be declared invalid; The whole thing has gone beyond its ability and reached the level of imperial safety!
The only thing I can do now is to find out why they are here instead of attacking the fortress of duanjieshan.
What happened, or... What did they find?
What is the key to the problem and what is missing?!
The missing Rangers, the search team were attacked, and the sentry tower was completely destroyed... If this is the premeditated plan of the "evil god apostle", then everything that happened in blood skeleton Valley is to cover up its real goal.
In other words, if their target is really the Dragon King City, then the search team and the sentry tower will be well explained - even knowing that doing so will arouse the vigilance of duanjie mountain fortress, the evil god apostle will never let anyone find their real purpose.
But they didn''t expect that an insignificant team left the night before their raid, but also grabbed in front of them and found ned Hogg, who had been missing for many years.
If so, it would be too "coincidence"!
"I have a question!"
Isaac suddenly raised his hand. "Well, it may be inappropriate to say this now, but... Are we going back?"
Lucian looked at Lauren with a complicated look.
The dark haired wizard pondered for a moment and said decisively:
"No, let''s move on."
"But... This is no longer just an adventure to find an ancient civilization; obviously, no matter what their goal is, they would rather give up the opportunity to invade the Empire and go to the Dragon King City, which shows that there is something more valuable there."
"No matter what that thing is, we can''t let them succeed!" the grey pupil boy suddenly pulled out his short sword and tried his best to insert it into the snow in front of him.
…………………………………………………………
East of the blood skeleton Valley, a cave near the cliff of an ice sheet.
The guard Knight holding the "bright star" in his arms sat by the campfire without saying a word, quietly staring at the sparks splashed from the firewood.
The injuries on his body had already recovered, but the torn clothes would not recover... The broken cloak and cloak were like a wordless "fig leaf" to tell him what he had experienced.
A figure in a black robe passed him and sat cross legged in front of the guard knight; The perceived guard Knight wanted to get up, but was stopped by the other party.
"Is the injury better?"
Although it was a word of concern, Francis was always expressionless, and a cold sweat remained on his frown, as if he were trying to restrain something.
"... has recovered," replied the knight of the guard. "You can start at any time, Lord Francis!"
"Don''t worry too much, the goal is close at hand, and we still have a lot of time." as he flipped the Scripture, Francis took a breath, and a trace of imperceptible fatigue flashed in his eyes:
"Take another day off and we''ll start tomorrow."
"Yes," whispered the guard knight, who spoke silently without looking back.
With a raised eyebrow, Francis put down the Scripture in his hand:
"You seem to have something to say?"
"I just don''t think it''s a wise decision for you, Lord Francis, to take risks yourself - even the power of the Holy Cross will be reduced in this evil god shrouded hell." the guard Knight said silently:
"What''s more, there are suddenly rotten corpse demons... If the documents in the church are correct, the emergence of such a huge army of demons is the beginning of the northern invasion!"
The voice of the guard Knight still echoed in the cave, and the indifferent fascist narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Do you think I should go back to duanjieshan fortress and tell them about it?"
"This is just a foolish opinion of my subordinates. Only the Holy Cross can give you a will." the guard Knight shook his head:
"But I always believe that the safety of the empire is the foundation of faith - if the army of evil gods invades the boundaries of the Empire, the church will suffer heavy losses and will inevitably cause turbulence in the belief in the Holy Cross!"
"Conrad de sallion."
"My lord?"
"Conrad de sallion told you in private when he was at the fortress of duanjie mountain, right?" Francis slowly said, "the safety of the empire is the foundation of the Holy Cross belief, which is not what you could say in the past."
The guard Knight fell silent.
"You can never underestimate any de sallion, especially his royal highness crown prince Connor - his mind and maturity beyond age, as well as amazing skills and talents, should become the supreme emperor no less than Brandon I, the sage? In contrast, his highness Brandon has no chance of winning in front of him."
Francis murmured in a low voice: "if there are demons invading the Empire, it doesn''t hurt to be used by his highness once; but there will be no ''invasion'' this time, and their target is not the saxophone empire or the Holy Cross Church."
"There will be no invasion?!" surprise suddenly appeared in the tone of the guard Knight: "how do you know?"
"Because this is the will of the Holy Cross, this is the will of the Holy Cross... It is the will of the holy cross that brings me to the end of the world!"
Francis lowered his head and muttered to himself, breathing more and more quickly, holding his right arm tightly:
"This is the will of the Holy Cross
It''s my own will --! "
