Chapter 416
The glacier Snow Mountain, over Niederhorn.
Feeling the cold wind of assaults the senses, the black hair wizard sitting on the back of the giant dragon Mirasis dragon was expressionless, looking coldly at the distance shrouded in ice mist and smoke. giant dragon king city.
As the setting sun sets, the afterglow of the scorching sun penetrates the dark clouds and blizzards, and puts a touch of golden red like an oil painting on the collapsing Niederhog; in the rumbling sound, the legendary royal city is gradually turned into ruins, Countless towers and palaces collapsed and fell into bottomless glacial cracks...
This is probably what the tombkeeper said, a decent end, right?
Touching the broken "rotten wood stick" around his waist, Loren couldn't help but curled up his mouth slightly.
Just as I guessed, the last "valve" from the very beginning was not in Niederhog, but was taken to the south as early as the destruction of the giant dragon kingdom-staying In the city, there is only the most precious, but unacceptable legacy, those "last knowledge"......
And Isaac and Lusien behind Loren are not as good as his "mood"— -I was shaking with cold, my whole body was lying on the back of the dragon and clinging to the dragon scales, for fear that this Great Desolate Giant Beast would throw myself off with a swing.
Although this is only the first time for the duo in the "Dragon Knight Career", it can be seen that those "Dragon Knight" who ride a giant dragon and can wield long spear bows and arrows at an altitude of 300 feet are actually What a nonsense...
Not to mention whether the bow and arrow can be shot out when the giant dragon is flying at high speed. There is such a Great that can smash the city wall with one head and burn the tower with just breath. Desolate Giant Beast, do you really need another person to fight on it?
According to Brandon, even among the "Dragon Knights" of the Desalion family, there are very few who like to ride giant dragons to fight; especially he himself, because from the dragon’s back The chances of falling off are too high...
"I guess you know it, Loren?" Brandon who face doesn't change suddenly turned around: "Your famous ancestor ,'Black Duke' Roland Torino has also been here."
"Just after he...er...betrayed the Holy Cross Church."
"I know a little bit, but Not much." Eyebrows raised, Loren replied indifferently, looking at the prince in front of him in confusion: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"Because it is likely that someone will especially want to know what you saw. What..." Brandon murmured suddenly.
"en?"
"Nothing, but suddenly a little curious!" His Royal Highness changed his face faster than flipping a book, grinning with a sunny smile "Let’s change the question... Have you found what you want... Have you found any evidence that Roland has arrived in the Giant Dragon King City?"
"You have two questions..."
p>The black hair wizard couldn't help rolling the eyes, looking reluctantly at the face that can still smile in the cold wind: "The former is hard to say, as for the latter...it should be."
Brandon's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I found the logo left by Roland on the city wall of Niederhogg, and there are many rangers...skeletons in the city. They should all have followed the'Black Duke'. The soldiers and entourages."
"The location is very close to the center of Niederhogg. If this is the case... then Roland must have been there before."
Looking at the other party’s sudden "clear comprehension" expression, the slightly frowned Loren couldn’t help but opened the mouth and said: "By the way, can you also answer me a question—why would the soldiers in the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress respond? Roland is so respectful, and even willing to disobey Connold's orders for me as a'Torino family'?"
"Uh...this matter is more complicated, and it is difficult to say it directly."
p>
Brandon was a little embarrassed and twitched his mouth suddenly: "The main reason is that the'Black Duke' once served in the Fortress of Duanjieshan. There are still many banner regiments formed during his time. !"
"No, it's not just because of this, right?" The black hair wizard shook his head: "If only serving in Duanjieshan, both Duke Lotaire and Duke Eilemang have served as judges. The commander of the Jieshan Fortress, but the jailers in the dungeon did not give him any'special' treatment because of his identity!"
"About this...actually, there are other reasons, mainly Because at the beginning..."
"At the beginning, if it weren't for the'Black Duke' Roland Torino, the fortress of Duanjieshan would have fallen in the tenth generation!"
Lying on the back of the dragon The gray-eyed boy on the top suddenly raised his head, his silver-gray gaze directly ignored Brandon’s embarrassed expression: "This is what my father told me—it was not the'Crazy Dragon Queen' Xia who won the eighth monster invasion. His Majesty Lot de Salion, even the opposite, it should have been an unprecedented fiasco!"
"Originally...if the'Black Duke' Roland Torino did not appear, maybe that day... …"
"It should be the day when the Sackland Empire will be destroyed!"

p>“clang! ”
Used his best to reinsert the flagpole in the middle of the crenellation, panting Ernst Dresis even had no time to rest, looking at the city wall The previous mess, gritted his teeth, hit the city wall fiercely.
Beside him, the impregnable north city wall is stained with a thick layer of "dark red", densely packed bones are piled up beside the pier, in front of the stairs, in the aisle... The smell is mixed with gunpowder smoke, which makes people tremble.
Fortunately, the attacking monster army is only carrion demons and a small amount of monsters, and there is not even a means to siege and remotely strike. On the city wall, use trebuchets and ballistas to destroy them in rows.
But the real problem is that even with the cover of the city wall, there are too few defenders in the fortress. Thousands of carrion demons can even fill the trenches with their bones and crawl continuously. On the city wall.
One day, one night, the defender of the fortress was killed one day, one night and the third was killed!
This is just the first round attack of the monster army, they are just knocked out of momentum, and it will not take long to return in a swirl of dust.
Ernst Drexis, who experienced the last invasion, knows very well-this is a group of enemies who don’t need rest, logistics, supplies, orders... etc. Any army needs everything. , Thousands of monsters can only do one thing, which is to tear the enemies in front of them to pieces!
Even the elite Legion, facing such an enemy, it is impossible to feel a trace of fear...Even back then, many Legion soldiers were formed under the continuous attack of monsters. collapse.
The more fierce the battle is, the more it is necessary for the commander to stand up and encourage the imposing manner to stabilize the military's morale, so that the defenders can maintain vigorous and sufficient fighting spirit, and the morale cannot be wiped out by such continuous bloody battles.
But it’s a pity that the person who can do this is not in the fortress of Duanjieshan...Heavy sighed, Ernst Dresis lifts the head exhausted, staring at nothing looked towards the glacier wasteland ruled by the blizzard.
Ernst really regrets it now. Why didn’t he try his best to prevent His Highness Connold from going north-otherwise, His Highness would not have to be trapped in the valley of blood by an avalanche, but stand Put an end to this sudden invasion in your own place.
Perhaps...because I really don’t have the talents of His Majesty and Connold, I don’t have the courage to stop His Majesty...
Suddenly, middle-aged Knight stared wide- eyed, hands clenched into fists unconsciously!
The city wall is trembling violently...In the blizzard, on the vast horizon, a continuous ash-gray "torrent" is gradually approaching, like a black cloud on the ground Rolling, the tidy and heavy stepping sounds like war drums, roaring endlessly!
Obviously, these monsters did not intend to give the fortress of Duanjieshan any chance to breathe, and even before the end of the previous round of fighting, they could not wait to launch a new attack.
The sound of a hurried horn came from the top of the tower, and Ernst Drecis, who opened his eyes suddenly, pulled out his sword, turned and looked towards those who were still stunned in place, don’t know what to do What are the Legion assistants, roaring like ominous beasts:
"Boundary Mountain Fortress............
Prepare to fight——!!!"
