Chapter 220 The Sacrificial Field IV(1/2)
﹄—﹃An online reading website worth collecting
The hissing sound coming from the darkness was completely different from the sound Fang Plover was imitating.
The voice was louder and shriller, and then a lizard man appeared in the darkness, standing at the edge of the flickering light of the torch, holding a spear and looking at them with cold eyes. It was slender and covered with fine hair.
The black scales are not the troglodytes of Ta-Heth.
"Night Lizard Clan." Fang Plover reminded everyone before he remembered that he had forgotten these uninvited guests. It seemed that he and Sophie had guessed well before. The Jefflite Red Team had indeed allowed their allies to go ahead and enter.
Twelve floors.
The question is, are the Red Jackets of Jeffrit and the Night Lizards also minions of Toragotos?
Fang Yu recalled all the previous details, as well as the interaction between the Red Team and the Listeners to the Rain, as well as the scene where they led the crowd away from the Mountain Palace, and felt vaguely in his heart that the answer was no.
But this does not mean that these night lizards will let them go. The number of these cold-blooded species is increasing in the darkness, and there is a faint tendency to surround everyone. Fang Plover took a small step back when he saw this, and pushed Sylvie
Dehu was behind him and said to the others: "Get ready to fight!"
After hearing the words, the knights gathered together and raised their shields to form a half-moon formation, protecting the long-range and spellcasting professions behind them. However, the night lizards did not attack immediately, but surrounded them far away from the range of the rangers.
Watching with cold eyes, Fang Yu saw the strange behavior of these cold-blooded people, his heart moved slightly, and he issued an order: "Let's fight and retreat, and go to the other side of the square."
As soon as they moved, one of the Night Lizard warriors with a metal faceplate looked at this scene with cold eyes, and suddenly raised his neck and let out a high-pitched scream. The Night Lizards in the darkness heard the wind and launched a charge in this direction.
"They really can't hold back and attack!" Dianmo Ranqingzhu shouted.
"Because the ones who found us were probably just a small group of their men. It must have been the Jeffrit red team who couldn't sit still and gave them orders in advance. I guess they were waiting for backup, because these night lizards are just like us.
Not familiar with the environment down here, there is little chance that they will find us if they don’t spread out."
Fang Yu then explained to the others.
Everyone nodded, this explanation was reasonable.
"Where is it? Where is it?" Parker shouted from behind.
After hearing this, the knight led by Silver Vislan turned around and ordered another knight to pick up the Papalar and put it on his shoulders. "Oh my God, I saw it!" This was probably the first time Parker had enjoyed such treatment, and he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
The ground screamed.
However, the knights first looked at Fang Plover's face, and secondly, they saw that he was indeed qualified as a crossbowman, and long-range professions often require better vision.
Parker 'sit high' and see far away, raised his head, and suddenly screamed: "Holy saints above, be careful, those guys are coming from above!"
It turns out that the Night Lizards did not attack from the front. They moved vigorously, and their charge route mainly advanced along the roofs of ancient buildings on both sides of the square. What the Papalars exclaimed was that in this way, the opponent could easily bypass the ones in front.
Defense line, directly attack their back row.
Fang Yu obviously noticed this, but he couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while. Each major guild had its own way of dealing with the air. Silver Vislan also had Pegasus knights, but this place was obviously an exception.
.
He searched his mind and found no suitable tactics, so he had an idea and ordered the only elemental user in the team to use fireball to blow up the buildings on the left and right first.
This stupid method sounds extremely inefficient, but everyone did not object out of blind obedience, but unexpectedly it worked wonders. The building collapsed in a beam of golden flames, and the collapsed ruins certainly could not stop the Night Lizards from advancing, but the bright
The firelight forced them to stop. As underground creatures, the night lizards were extremely photophobic, and the high temperature also disrupted their heat-sensitive organs, causing them to spin around in the smoke.
At the same time, the Night Lizards who were hindered in their actions were exposed to the fire and became the first target of the rangers. A round of arrows rained down, and at least a dozen Night Lizards were hit by arrows falling from above. The Lizard Warrior Chief
Seeing that the situation was not good, he made another hissing sound and asked the remaining night lizards to leave the roof.
Then the battlefield returned to the ground again.
Meanwhile, the surface world of Fenris
The temple of the God of Commerce and Travelers shook slightly and then stopped, as if everything before was just an illusion.
"Is there an earthquake?" Sophie followed the ground as it swayed, holding on to the altar on the side before standing still. The communication was interrupted at that moment, and the image transmitted from the underground disappeared at the same time as Su Changfeng's figure.
This thought flashed through her mind, and at the same time she stood up and looked back, only to find that the hall was in a mess. Many people had fallen to the ground due to the previous shaking, and those who were still standing like her were left.
Shi Zheng looked up behind her with a surprised expression.
What's behind you?
Sophie was stunned for a moment before she remembered that there was the icon of Ms. Roman, the god of travelers and commerce, the protector of avenues and wealth. But what happened? She couldn't help but look back in confusion, and then her eyes widened.
, where the goddess's hand represents the symbol of divine power and justice. The scale of justice, which is said to never change, actually tilted slightly during the previous shaking.
Signs from God.
Sophie stood stunned on the spot. She never thought that she would witness the birth of the oracle with her own eyes.
This, what's going on...?
The shock wave from the Green Dragon Mountains was like a shadow, trembling across the entire Fenris Island.
Along the branches of the mountains to the south, in the hilly area near the bay, there are many farms dotted here. The owners of the farms were shocked to see their wine racks shaking with a faint clatter, and then the wine barrels rolled to the ground.
.
At the same time, the glassware in the cupboard and on the table also danced, falling to the ground like flying butterflies, smashing to pieces.
But the shock did not subside.
In fact, it became more violent, and then with a long whimper, a huge windmill on the horizon was finally overwhelmed, shattered, and slowly collapsed, sending a cloud of smoke and dust flying.
Everyone screamed when they saw this scene and ran out of their houses like crazy.
And such scenes are not uncommon at this moment.
Looking down from the sky above Fenris Island, you can see a long chasm extending along the fjord towards Cloud Harbor. The uninhabited area it passes through breaks off the land and the cliffs rise up, as if something huge is coming from there.
Slowly rising from beneath the surface.
Inside Unzho Port City.
The warning bells have already sounded.
The citizens ran out of their homes one after another and looked at the center of the city without knowing what was going on. There was a towering spire that reached into the clouds. It was the castle of their guardian. Often when Cloud Port encountered some terrible disaster, the giant tower would appear.
The dragon's figure will appear in that place.
But how long had it been since they had been in real trouble?
In fact, since the surrounding pirates have been taught a lesson several times, they no longer dare to approach Fenris. Even if they pass through this place, they often avoid this port. Therefore, it is difficult for the people of Fenris not to worry about this.
Feel proud, all because of their great guardian.
Only then can Yunzhi Port become a paradise.
But this time, they did not see the shadow of the legendary green dragon.
The ground began to tremble slightly. Is this an earthquake? But there are very few earthquakes on Sky Island. The locals have not experienced such an earthquake in their memory for a long time. They don't know. It was about several generations ago. Only
Some old people may still have vague impressions.
People stood unsteadily and looked in the direction of the bell in astonishment.
their town hall.
There is usually only a symbolic existence there. There are not many staff in the tall building that symbolizes the royal power of Corrin-Ithurion, and there are usually only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people left.
But at this moment, the "leader" of the old, weak, sick and disabled, an old man with all gray hair and beard, blind in one eye and lame in one leg, was using a wooden prosthetic leg to support himself to stand upright, like a straight leg.
The straight javelin stood on the spire of the city hall and sounded the alarm with all his strength.
On weekdays, he is what people jokingly call a 'simple commander', an 'unnecessary' officer, a tax collector whom everyone hates, and the highest officer appointed by the Kingdom of Corin-Ithurion except for the one from Yuntierang Port.
Except for the supreme 'Archon'.
Few people know the old man's past.
But the archbishop from Mirela Temple understood that the old man was one of the many unsung heroes of the Battle of Bain. At least before he left the battlefield, he was a knight of the kingdom.
That war didn't leave him many memories.
The only memory he has is probably a son who slept on the battlefield, and the lost leg and eye are probably the medals given to him by the war as a hero. The only reward the other party received is probably this position that has not changed in the past thirteen years.
, the tax collector of Fenris who has no luck.
Many people thought that the old man was muddy, but the only thing that was really muddy was his blind eye, which was like a dim ball of wax, but the other eye contained a bright and firm light at this moment.
"How much time is left?" The old man turned around and asked, his voice a little hoarse.
The archbishop raised his head and looked at the old man. In fact, the alarm bell in the city hall has an entire magical mechanism that can be driven mechanically. However, because it was in disrepair and no one cared about it, it was no longer enough for use. Otherwise, it would not have been delayed until this point.
He shook his head: "It's too late, sir. There are signs of loosening of the seal. Sir Mirela just sent down a sign from God, telling us all to leave this place as soon as possible."
"Fenris Island..." The bishop hesitated: "I'm afraid it can't be saved. I guess Lord Toragotos has failed."
"Then call all the ships in the port and take as many citizens away as possible," the old man sighed: "Prioritize saving women and children, and tell those young people the truth."
"It's useless," the bishop said with a bitter smile: "They don't trust anyone except Mr. Toragotos, so how can we have that appeal? If we make the news public, I'm afraid it will anger these people, and they will only question us.
They all jokingly say that there is only one guardian of Cloud Port, and they don’t even trust Lady Mirella anymore.”
The old man climbed down from the ladder and replied: "Don't worry, I will stay here personally to show them that we are not leaving, and to ask the boys how many of them are willing to come with me."
He glanced at the bishop with his cloudy prosthetic eyes: "This is to protect the family. I believe their decision will not disappoint anyone."
"Mr. Knight, you..." The bishop was a little surprised.
