“…”
In the wilderness south of Nimgefu, a lost knight was riding on a silver armored war horse, staggeringly leading the dozen former Grek soldiers to conduct routine patrols here.
Originally, this place should be the area where the big tree guard was responsible for patrolling, and the other party has been in charge of this place for many years, so it is more familiar with the situation here than them.
but……
That good-lived guy was sent to the Sobbing Peninsula to quell the rebellion not long ago.
So, they were sent here as a last resort, mainly responsible for patrol, sniping and intercepting the faded people who would only do destruction and also wanted to meet the ring of Elden and become the king of Elden.
Today, the patrol team, which had just come out of the camp, really encountered a stargazing fading man!
The other party didn't know what was going on, but he used magic to attack and provoke them from afar. Moreover, when he took the initiative to fire the pyroxene magic gravel, he stood carelessly on the ruined platform, without any intention of concealing or ambushing, and just showed his power to them like that?
“??”
"laugh!"
"You guys, what's going on with him?"
First, after easily avoiding the pyroxene magic that the opponent had bombarded from afar, the lost knight riding on the silver armored war horse looked at the soldiers beside him and asked.
"he……"
"Why do you want to challenge our entire patrol team?"
In this regard, he said he really didn't understand what the faded person was thinking about in his mind who was standing on the platform and firing magic at them from afar.
"have no idea……"
"Maybe he thinks we can't climb up?"
"Sir, you also know that those fading people are originally expelled guys, they are all guys with abnormal brains!"
At this time, a soldier first looked at the big hole on the ground next to him that was punched out by the pyroxene gravel, and then guessed while protecting his body with a shield.
In fact, what he said was not wrong. Those fading were indeed freaks before they were regained their blessings!
As far as he knew, those faded were pagans, demon wives who seized the vitality of others and slept with dead people, freaks who ate feces, prisoners, thieves and barbarians, etc.
And guys like that, before the golden tree had changed, before the ring of Eldon was broken, they were all spitted people who were deprived of blessing and expelled from the border. Now, they had no idea why they had received blessings and planned to come back to become king. How could they easily agree to such things that sounded outrageous?
"Don't say it!"
"That place is quite high, and with him attacking with pyroxene magic on it, it's really not easy for us to climb up!"
Another soldier also started to tease, and then the shield in his hand couldn't help but lower it a little.
It is quite far from the high platform. Although the mage and the "fading man"'s pyroxene magic are very powerful, it takes time for the spell to fly over there. As long as he is not blind, he will definitely be able to dodge easily, and there is no need to look like he is facing a great enemy.
"alright!"
"Since he comes out automatically, you don't need to be polite to him!"
"you!"
"Who went up and cut him?"
Just a faded person, the lost knight wearing silver armor did not pay much attention to it, so he looked around and suddenly asked the soldiers.
"No, no!"
"Let's forget it."
"Sir, let's not go there, just shoot him to death!"
"Yes, I don't want to climb up!"
"I don't want to!"
"Don't go over. If you get close to the pyroxene magic, you can't easily avoid it. I don't know if the shield can be defended?"
“!!”
"Don't be careful, shoot him to death!"
The soldiers refused the order of the lost knight and said they would not run over with the enemy's magic and try to climb the platform to seek death.
Although they would definitely be able to climb up if they spread apart and rushed together, that approach was completely unnecessary.
"All right."
"Then shoot him to death!"
As he said that, the lost knight riding on the horse waved his hand and gave the order.
"Do it!"
"quick!"
"Give me a few arrows!"
"hurry up!"
Immediately afterwards, except for the lost knight riding on the saddle, the surrounding soldiers took out crossbows from their backs.
Then, in the stunned silence of the faded person on the opposite platform, he pulled the strings and arrows, and aimed the crossbow arrows with cold light at the platform.
The next second...
Whoosh~!
?
Whoosh~! Whoosh~! Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
?
After more than a dozen people shot arrows, soon there was only the body of a faded mage who was covered with crossbow arrows and stared at the ruins. He fell there and died with his eyes open.
"Shot to death?"
"Cancel team!"
"Let's go, let's continue patrolling!"
There is no doubt that if you are hit by so many crossbow arrows, you must be dead!
So, after seeing that the faded enemy had been destroyed by his soldiers, and looking at the quiet surroundings of this area, there seemed to be no more situations except for insects, fish and birds, the leader of the lost knight was too lazy to confirm. He waved his hand and turned his head and prepared to lead the team to leave.
"etc!"
"Sir, sir!"
"There are fading people here. Don't we need to search inside again?"
"The faded person just now was a stargazer. Although his ability is average and his brain is a little unhealthy, if we can find their teleportation points, we will make great contributions!"
Seeing that the lost knight was about to leave, one of the soldiers hurried forward and suggested excitedly.
"unnecessary!"
"Last night, a message came from Stoneville City. From now on, we will just patrol the levels and roads in this wilderness. As for the rest, we will leave it to the one named Smarag."
The lost knight who was walking straight towards the road not far away said without looking back and directly rejected the soldier's proposal.
"Smarag?"
"Who is that?"
"But, sir, can he deal with such a large wilderness?"
The soldier seemed a little puzzled.
"that is!"
"It is said that there are many fading people in the depths of the wilderness, and some sneaky guys. Who is that Smarager? Is he okay?"
"Unless he is the guard of the big tree!"
"whispering sound!"
"Don't mention the big tree guards. That guy has led his troops to Moen City to quell the rebellion. When he comes back, he will definitely be promoted. Why do you need to patrol here?"
"Ah! That's right..."
"But, who is Smarager? Why do we seem to have never heard of it?"
"Sir?"
After packing up the things and discussing quietly for a while, one of them continued to walk forward with the team, and asked loudly to the lost knight on the front.
"Smarag..."
“Um…”
"The time should be almost done. You should pay attention to the sky and the sky in the north?"
The lost knight still did not answer clearly, but just continued to move forward so staggeringly on the horse's back and said with some dissatisfaction.
“??”
"North?"
"Why do you have to look at the north?"
Grill
"Isn't there a golden tree in the north? What else can I do..."
"Nothing..."
Subconsciously, the group of soldiers following the line turned their heads and looked towards the dull sky in the north.
There, above the sky, there was nothing but the canopy of the golden tree that covered the sky and looked a little dull.
“!!”
"wrong!"
"Then, what is that?!"
"yes……"
"It's a dragon!!!"
"dragon?!"
"Not good! Hidden!!"
Soon, the soldiers exclaimed again, and took a breath of cold air. Some of them held the weapons and shields in their hands, rushed directly into the grass on both sides of the road and started to cat.
Because, they saw that a huge dragon was flapping its wings from the north sky and flew towards them quickly.
“…”
However, the lost knight was a little dissatisfied and had never thought about hiding. He just tried hard to restrain his war horse.
‘Roar ~!’
Not long after, the giant dragon came above them and roared towards the place, allowing the sound waves and airflow to sweep by.
This time, everyone saw that the other party was very big and flew very quickly. The spreading wings were probably more than 100 meters wide, and the body was two or three hundred meters long from beginning to end!
It looked at it from a distance and felt very powerful. When it flew over, when it flew over the sky hundreds of meters above everyone's heads, it was even more shocked that the soldiers screamed and squatted to the ground and protected their heads with their shields.
After all, it was a dragon, and it was a giant dragon, countless times larger than the little dragon that their demigod "sucked" Grek caught. A giant dragon like that, even if the demigod Grak came back to life, it would probably have to go around, let alone the soldiers like them.
"Everyone stand up!"
"That's our dragon!"
"It's what I just mentioned, a pyroxene dragon!"
After patting his war horse's neck and trying hard to calm it down, the fully armed Knight who could not even see his face turned to the group of soldiers behind him who were a little unbearable, and then said:
"He is the pyroxon that entrenched in the Lienia region, but it was caught by our Queen Anne and was sent back yesterday."
"In the future, it will also help patrol the Nimgefu area and deal with those fading!"
"We just need to patrol the tunnel and the main roads in the wilderness in front of the checkpoint. In other places, it will fly a few laps a day, which is much faster than when we run with our legs."
With the patient explanation of the lost knight, the soldiers who thought they would be attacked or burned to ashes by a dragon breath were then stood up from the grass on both sides of the road and returned to the road with lingering fear.
"It's really a giant dragon..."
"Our Queen is really amazing. Even the dragon in the Lienia region has been captured. I just said, why do you think that name sounds familiar!"
"The dragon..."
"In this way, maybe we can really fight to the royal city in the future?"
"It's possible!"
"Hey, don't worry about those, at least with that dragon to help us, it will be much safer to patrol in the future, and it can also severely hit the arrogance of those faded people."
"That's true!"
"As I said, there must be a teleportation point for those faded people somewhere in the wilderness. If we weren't staffed, we would have cleaned it up long ago!"
Then, the soldiers who stood up again and stopped being on guard began to discuss excitedly while watching the terrifying figure of the dragon leaving.
"Save effort!"
"Set off!"
"There is the church in front of us. Let's go to the church first, then continue to go south, and go back before reaching the cemetery."
After saying that, the lost knight no longer cared about the soldiers who were still talking excitedly, but was just a little listless and continued to lead the way forward.
Actually, he also knew that the new king of Stoneville City, Queen Anne, is indeed very potential and has strong strength. He is very likely to become the new King of Eldon. Now, even the dragon has been captured as a subordinate, but it has nothing to do with them.
because……
He himself, including the soldiers behind him, were just marginalists.
They first followed and served the Storm King, then served Grek, and now surrendered to Queen Anne. In the eyes of others, they were just fences. Therefore, it is unlikely that the witch Selolina would fully trust them, and it is even more impossible for them to easily access the core of power. At most, they would do such hard work that is irrelevant to patrols and guarding the checkpoints.
And like the previous mission to suppress the rebellion in Moen City, the sob peninsula, it is definitely not their turn to intervene in the battle with great contributions. They can only do it by the big tree guards, the furnace knights who followed the little girl king at the earliest, and the direct "Fire Eyes" knights. Even if they were jealous, they could only stare at them blankly.
But there is no way. With their identities and the fact that they have helped Greck to act against the contrary and slaughter the people, it is good to save their lives, so there is definitely no way to expect too much.
Of course, he would not tell those things to the ignorant soldiers behind him, so let them continue to be excited about the strength of the new king.
"Sir!"
"You said, will Queen Anne really become King of Eldon?"
"When I go to fight the royal city, will we be transferred back?"
Although the lost knight seemed to be in a bad mood and did not have much thought about the dragon's joining, the soldiers did not think so. They just came up after the discussion and asked loudly.
"Who knows..."
"But I heard that she doesn't seem to want to be the king of Eldon?"
"But maybe..."
"I heard it wrong?"
As he said that, the Knight Lost Country shook his head as if he was self-deprecating, and then went straight forward and walked towards the Ailey Church in front where he could already see a trace of outline.
He did not say anything nonsense that the little girl, the King of Stoneville, had indeed expressed publicly or in private more than once that he did not want to become the King of Eldon!
but……
Given that the other party was catching dragons and investigating in the Lienia area during this period, and then sent a large army to sweep the Nimgefu area and the sob peninsula, it also showed that the other party was different from those faded people who only knew how to roam around, who were all day long, and who wanted to become stronger and kill the city and kill gods and become the king of Eldon. She must be preparing for some huge purpose?
And what that preparation is undoubtedly self-evident!
“!!”
“Hmm?!”
“That’s…”
At this moment, the lost knight who was thinking about things and dealing with the soldiers casually suddenly became shocked!
He saw the giant dragon that had just flew over their heads. At this time, it seemed that it had reached the sky above the Irey Church in front, and was beginning to use the terrifying blue dragon flame to bombard the abandoned church with the terrifying blue dragon flames. Soon after razing the place to the ground, the dragon breath still burning, and then flapping its wings and slowly flew southward.
“It’s…”
"Do you want to burn the cemetery and cave?"
Seeing the end of the church and thinking about the direction of the dragon flying, the Knight of Lost Land couldn't help but exclaim again and sighed softly.
At this moment, he could roughly guess what the other party wanted to do.
Because, on the south side of the Ely Church is nothing else, but fading people appear the most frequently, and there is a certain teleportation point in the drifting cemetery cave!
However, because there are complex terrain and many powerful and sneaky pagans, and the lack of manpower has not been able to thoroughly search and suppress the place. However, if the giant dragon ran to completely destroy the cemetery and cave with dragon breath, it would be different.
Perhaps, their patrol work may really become much easier in the future?
"Sir!"
"It burned the Ayre Church, did you find that there were faded people inside?"
Looking at the flames in the distance, watching the horrific situation where they could not be extinguished for a short time and were still burning violently there, a soldier asked with a moving expression.
"have no idea!"
The Knight of Lost Country shook his head. In his opinion, that kind of thing was not important.
Because, no matter whether it is a fading person or someone else is inside, you will definitely not be able to survive under that kind of attack, so it is meaningless to discuss it again.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go over and take a look!"
“Start up!”
Soon, led by the lost land knight riding a war horse in the lead, the team of only a dozen patrol soldiers gradually began to speed up, trotting all the way, quickly chasing towards the Irey Church and towards the flying direction of the giant dragon Smarag.
And at the same time...
"Hmm..."
???(?)???~?
When the lost knight was taking the soldiers to check what the 'pyroxene' dragon Smarag wanted to do, a bad little girl left Stonville City alone and jumped east along the main road, strolling towards the Saint Bridge.
