Chapter 2222.(ˊ▽ˋ).Heartless and heartless!
Due to the defeat and death of Emperor Gnishuka, the Kusha invasion finally came to an end.
However, in view of some magical changes in the huge body of Emperor Gnishuka, the world began to become a little different. It was definitely not just as simple as the overlap of the ghost world and the real world.
Some beings use the huge body of Genishuka as an introduction to create a brand new world based on the original real world and the magical underworld, plus people's legendary fantasies. In this new world full of vitality,
At the very center of the world, a huge and magnificent palace and city are quietly appearing next to the huge tree of light.
That was the dream country of Griffith, the Eagle of Light, and he named it Falconia!
In order to obtain it, he would not even hesitate to turn the entire world into this, and plunge countless billions of people or other living beings into the abyss of eternal destruction in the new world!
However, Guts and his Knights of the Silver Hand don't know the above things, and they don't want to know.
Because, they have already escaped from the place that was originally the capital of the Kingdom of Midland and is now called Falconia and have traveled for three or four days. They don’t know what happened in the Wyndham area.
What happened.
They just learned from the mouth of Shirji, the green-haired witch of the legion, that the world had undergone some earth-shaking changes, and they had already seen that change in the three or four days they were marching north, so now,
They just want to return to their City of Holy Light as soon as possible and quickly prepare defense work to deal with the various crises brought about by the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in this world.
But no matter how anxious we are to go back, we still have to walk step by step. Some things cannot be rushed.
"..."
For example, right now, taking advantage of the opportunity to camp and rest, Clete was humming a tune and teasing her new horse, and using a boar-bristle brush to gently brush its beautiful hair that seemed to have some kind of fluorescence.
It was a white unicorn with long horns and slender limbs. It looked like a horse, but was taller and stronger than ordinary war horses. It was the kind of creature that only existed in legends, but
, Today, that kind of creature that only existed in legends has become a reality, and it has also become the mount of Clete's leader of the 'Silver Dawn', which makes her very fond of it.
No need to guess, it must have been caught by some bad little girl!
At first, Clete thought that the other party was just joking around, but who would have thought that on the way back, they actually encountered a group of unicorns, and then a certain troubled little girl brazenly attacked them.
Before, some kind of flaming rope magic was used to kill an entire group of 'wildebeest', including the old, small and weak.
In the end, she and Farnese were naturally assigned a young and strong horse because ladies had priority, and the remaining knights were going to take them back to the City of Holy Light to slowly raise them.
Get up and make other arrangements.
But those things are not under Clete's control. She has already gained benefits and just wants to take care of this important partner in front of her first.
"Hi!"
"Crete!"
At this time, when Clete was almost finished, a crisp voice sounded from behind, causing her to turn her head subconsciously.
"??"
"Is it Sister Farnese?"
When she found that the heroic leader of the Knights, Farnese, was striding this way, Crete had to stop what she was doing, and then hurriedly wiped her hands and greeted him with a smile.
.
"What's wrong?"
"What's matter?"
Whether it was when they were children in the King's Hall or now, Crete and Farnese have a very good relationship, just like a pair of sisters.
And thinking back to the time when she was in the City of Holy Light, especially when her father insisted on taking people to Balidanis to join the alliance with the French King's Hall, if the other party hadn't led the entire Knights of the Holy Iron Cable (that is, the current reorganized
The reorganized Silver Hand came to help and help, but she probably didn't even know how to preside over and manage such a large city!
Therefore, Crete is undoubtedly very close to and trusting Farnese.
"Nothing, I'm just getting ready to eat, so I came to call you."
"By the way, the legion commander has called everyone to have a meeting after dinner. If you have nothing to do here, please hurry over!"
"besides!"
"I almost forgot to ask!"
"Where's that guy Annie?"
As he said that, he first looked at the haystack of Crete's unicorn, and then looked inside Crete's tent. After discovering that the figure of a certain little guy was not there, Farnese couldn't help but feel a little bit.
He was surprised and asked aloud.
"Annie?"
"Isn't she sleeping in the tent?"
Hearing this, Clete was also a little surprised, and then she quickly walked to the front of the tent, opened her tent curtain and looked inside.
Unfortunately, it was dark inside, and there was nothing except her neat bed and another messy little quilt.
"Crete."
"You don't know where she went?"
"When did she disappear again?"
Seeing Clete's astonished expression and somewhat bewildered movements, Farnese roughly knew what was going on, and then asked, somewhat dumbfounded.
"I really do not know……"
"When we were setting up camp, she just said she would go out to have fun and catch a fun pet..."
"so……"
"I thought she had come back, but she has been out since we set up camp!"
"It's been almost two hours, right?"
First she looked at the sky, and then she looked inside the tent again. After confirming that the little Annie was indeed not inside and there was no trace of her coming back, Clete looked at Farnese with some grievance and said so
replied anxiously.
"pet?"
"Still, still arresting me!?"
Farnese, who was initially indifferent to the situation, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that a certain troublesome little guy had gone off to do mischief again.
"I just caught a bunch of unicorns the day before yesterday!"
"Yesterday I caught another Cyclops monster. It almost hurt the talent several times and had to let it go in the morning!"
"And that strange bird we caught the day before yesterday. We kept it for a long time and ate eight of our horses!"
"She wants to catch something today?!"
Farnese didn't even know what to say.
Forget about the unicorn the day before yesterday. That kind of beautiful and strong creature is very useful. It has a high affinity for the Holy Light. The more the opponent catches, the better. However, for other things, Farr
Nasser was a little reluctant to thank him.
Everyone knows that the world has now become a world of fantasy, and the laws and common sense are no longer the same as before. And they themselves are the same, the changes are getting bigger and bigger, and they can detect some changes in themselves almost every day.
, however, no matter how different the changes are, it is not a reason for the other party to catch some weird things and come back to cause chaos for everyone!
What's more, they are now carefully returning to the City of Holy Light. They don't know what kind of terrifying monsters and troubles they will encounter along the way. They really can't withstand the other party's torment a few more times.
"I do not know then……"
"She didn't tell me!"
Clete also scratched her head a bit, not knowing how to start the conversation.
Anyway, she only knows that although she and Annie live in the same tent, she can't control that troublesome little guy, and the other party doesn't need her permission to catch anything he wants to play with. Even Shirji and Ge
How could she have the ability to say too much about things that Brother Si and the others had no control over?
"But she should be back soon. We won't know until then, right?"
But after thinking about it, Clete still said this to comfort herself.
"hope so!"
"Then I'll go over first."
"When she comes back, remember to tell her that we will break camp and set out early tomorrow morning so that she can stop running around."
"We have to go back quickly!"
With that said, Farnese checked that nothing happened and turned around in a hurry to leave and return to her tent.
"etc!"
"Sister Farnese, did something happen?"
"is it serious?"
Only then did Clete finally seem to see something, and then she quickly called out to the other party and asked tentatively.
"..."
"No!"
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
There was a pause and hesitation in his heart, but in the end Farnese turned around and comforted Crete with a smile, without any further plans.
"oh……"
"fine."
"I'll know it tonight anyway!"
Seeing that the other party left in a hurry without saying anything, Clete pursed her lips, stamped her feet one last time, and then continued to lean over to pick up her brush and get busy.
Half an hour later...
Soon, the sky gradually became dark.
And until now, even after Clete finished what she was doing, she still didn't see any sign that some bad little guy was coming back, so she had to walk towards the tent in the camp cafeteria alone.
I walked over there, intending to have something to eat with everyone and see if there was anything big that I didn't know about.
Otherwise!
At this moment, very suddenly, there was some kind of huge roar in the sky, and then there seemed to be some huge black shadow passing by tens of meters above her head, and it also brought up a formation.
The sudden bursts of air caused the tents and racks throughout the camp to shake, followed naturally by bursts of people neighing and horses neighing and chickens and dogs jumping.
"Huh?"
"That is……"
Seeing this, Clete raised her head subconsciously, and of course she saw a huge one at a glance. It looked almost as big as the largest tower of the City of Holy Light Castle, but its wings spread out were about three to four hundred.
The behemoth, as wide as 1 meter, roared, and a terrifying figure flew past at low altitude.
"!!"
"Yes, it's a dragon!!!"
"Enemy attack!!!"
Soon, before Clete could figure out what the huge thing flying in the sky was, not far away, there was a roar from the legion commander she was familiar with, Brother Gus, and the shrillness of Captain Yasang with a trace of
Si's trembling voice of anger rang out.
"alert!!"
"Array!!!"
"quick!!"
"Everyone, quickly form a formation!!"
"Take up your weapons!"
"Lancer!"
"crossbowman!"
"Array!!!"
"Get ready to meet the enemy!!!"
Immediately afterwards, the Paladins who were planning to eat rushed out of the tents near the canteen, and then hurriedly found their swords and spears as quickly as possible, and began to tremble in fear at that
After the commanders of each legion shouted, scattered formations of different sizes were organized in the open areas of the camp.
"Crete!"
"Come here quickly!"
"It's dangerous over there!!!"
And just when the Paladins were in confusion and looking up at the sky helplessly like frightened birds but not knowing what to do or how to deal with it, Farnese rushed out from nowhere and walked quickly.
He rushed to Clete's side and violently dragged her to a corner.
"Attention everyone!!"
"That's the dragon!"
"It is the most powerful magical creature, everyone must be careful!"
"Later, please try not to leave the scope of my protective shield easily!"
Then, Clete, who had been unable to react for a while, saw: as the officers and knights gathered in the open space in the middle of the camp, Shirji, the witch who accompanied the legion, also stood up and gave instructions loudly.
, and quickly prepared for some kind of spell casting, and even took out the two wands, one big and one small.
"..."
At the same time, Gus, who was holding a giant sword, was already standing on the hill at the front of the camp without saying a word, looking up and glaring at the sky.
Judging from his appearance, not only was he not worried, but he seemed to be ready to rise up at any time and strike hard at the giant dragon hovering in the sky?
"..."
Seeing the chaos among the paladins around her, Crete couldn't help but feel a little uneasy knowing that they might be unreliable.
Because she knew that Anne, Shirji and others had given them popular science before, saying that giant dragons were probably the most powerful existences in this magical world, whether they were low-level demons or high-level demons.
It's a terrifying creature on the top floor, so you have to be careful?
"Shirji!"
"Hello!"
"Can you chase away that monster?"
So, while she was wary of the giant beasts in the Tianshan Mountains, she shouted loudly and asked Shirji who was not far away.
"..."
Shaking his head, Shirji, in the confusion, certainly had no time to talk.
She didn't say that she couldn't survive the fight, she just frowned and stared at the huge black shadow hovering in the sky that would neither come down nor leave, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"!!"
"coming!!"
Finally, after circling for a while, the terrifying giant beast couldn't bear it any longer, and suddenly accelerated and dived towards the relatively open high ground where Gus was.
Then, the opponent's provocative movements naturally provoked Gus to yell angrily, and then he angrily waved the giant sword in his hand and jumped up high, and pointed at the opponent's huge, hideous and scaly target.
Smash the ugly head off.
"The rushing north wind..."
"Freeze it!!"
Frost!!
At this time, the witch Shirji also completed a certain spell almost at the same time.
I saw her suddenly waving her big wand, and then, a giant frost thorn suddenly froze in the sky and appeared, and then fell at the right time, perfectly matching Gus's attack, and at the same time attacking the dragon's attack.
A pincer attack was launched on the abdomen and back.
‘!!’
'Roar!!!'
Unfortunately……
The monster just roared suddenly, and the air wave directly hit Gus who jumped high into the air before he could swing his sword, causing him to turn upside down and fly away with a roar.
And the giant frost thorns sent out by Shirji were blocked and smashed to pieces by the invisible air current and wings as it rolled!
"!!"
Seeing this, seeing how ferocious the other party was, Shirji, who knew that ordinary spells could not help that kind of creature, resolutely raised the small wand in her other hand and let the energy and magic power of the fire element flow through her body and
The wand is filled with.
"flame……"
Next!
She was ready to recite a spell and launch a powerful fire strike against the giant dragon that dared to attack their camp, just like what she had done in the lair of the beast demon.
"Stop it!"
(ω‖)
"silence!"
*.(へ╬)
Just when Shirji was about to release the fierce fire spell and let the flame dragon deal with the monster dragon, suddenly, a voice came down.
"!?"
W-what?!
Then, at the same time, a strange barrier directly enveloped Shirji's body, causing the originally full magic power in her body and the almost brewing spell in the wand to be interrupted in an instant and drained of all energy.
"Ha ha!"
(*)
"Don't be nervous, it's someone else!"
(-)
Immediately afterwards, as the giant dragon slowly descended and stopped in the open space, a certain troubled little girl slowly jumped out from behind the dragon's head and neck, and revealed that beautiful face.
Happy pretty face.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing this, the Paladin, who was ready and preparing to step forward with his gun and launch a group charge, and Gus, who had climbed up from a distance again and was already charging, staggered for an instant, and then all collided with each other.
…
At the same time, in the exquisite and natural tree house in the Spirit Tree Forest, in the Spirit Tree Pavilion, a certain skeleton knight returned here with a look of frustration and vicissitudes of life.
"you……"
"you saw it?"
Just walking to the witch Flora's quiet room, he saw the old figure still sitting on the recliner and looking out the window. He pondered for a long time before he had to ask tentatively with some embarrassment and frustration.
"Um."
"It can't be invisible, right?"
After letting out a faint sigh, the witch Flora used some kind of magic to slowly turn the couch and turned around to look at her old friend with a smile.
"Feel sorry!"
"I did something stupid..."
"I was taken advantage of by that guy."
"He even calculated that I would sneak attack on him and used my sword to cause everything today."
Although he didn't want to, the skeleton knight hesitated for a while, then lowered his head and explained what he had done in the capital of Mitlan that day, such as trying to use the water-calling sword to sneak attack on the God's Hand Femont, that is, the dark
The Eagle Griffith, but in the end was used by the other party to cut the boundaries of the world, which led to the story of Emperor Gnishuka turning into a tree of light and subverting the entire world.
"No……"
"Gall, it's not your fault."
Shaking her head, Witch Flora seemed to have been mentally prepared for a long time, so there was not much surprise on her face. She just smiled and sighed softly and explained:
"Believe me."
"Your strength can't reach this level, not even Femont can do it."
"I guess……"
"There should be some deeper existence involved, and you and him are just a part of it."
"That is a fact that cannot be changed, at least not with your and my own strength. You'd better not blame yourself too much."
After saying that, the witch Flora sighed quietly again.
"..."
Although the Witch Flora had already said that, the Skeleton Knight still stood there with his head lowered, not daring to move or speak, looking very annoyed.
"..."
Shaking her head, Witch Flora saw this and no longer tried to persuade her. She just slowly turned the chair again so that she could look out the window again.
"let it go!"
"Leave it all to the children!"
"We are all old..."
After a long time, she sighed and said quietly like this again.
"..."
However, the Skeleton Knight still didn't speak.
He just stood motionless with his head lowered behind the witch Flora, the soul fire in his eyes flickering, and he didn't know whether it was because of self-blame, shame, or something else.
