Chapter 927: Flame City-State I.
In the setting sun, the people on the Thunder saw a fiery red city.
It was a large city with three satellite cities and a main city, and the entire city was made of a kind of red masonry, and the three satellite cities looked like a burning flame from the sky.
"Flame City has arrived!"
Darrow. Thunder said.
Then, instead of flying directly to the city, the Thunder landed about two kilometers away from the city, and sent a team of Thunder cavalry.
In fact, when the Thunder was in the sky before, Blaze City had already discovered the airship in the air.
At this time, a team is sent just to avoid misunderstanding.
None of the group would have any objections to this.
And while waiting, Aegie and the others naturally talked-
"The grass here is so fertile!"
Puley, who was once a commoner and whose father was a farmer, said with a sigh.
"The Flame City-State occupies the best territory in the West, not only is the land fertile, but also has a huge inner lake, far beyond the city-states and tribes such as Frost, Wind, and Explosive Bear! However, it is precisely because of this fertile land that the two city-states of Flame and Frost are constantly at war, and the two tribes of Wind and Burst Bear are also mixed in from time to time - you know? In some Western legends, the land of the Flame City-State is fertile because it irrigates countless blood and corpses! β
Darrow. Thunder answers the customs of the West.
"W-This can't be, right?"
Honest Pulley stammered.
"Chances are, Priley, have you forgotten that we're after the war. A place where those dead are buried. Does the grass grow vigorously the next year? β
Aiji said seriously.
"Ugh!!"
Suddenly. Puley, who was about to pick up a handful of dirt just now, stopped his movements and stood there at a loss.
Ou Lun on the side was also a little uncomfortable.
"It's not these dead people who are at fault, they are the most innocent, it's the people who are really at fault who provoke the war, they are the heinous!"
Edge continued with his own understanding.
And such remarks have been included by Droz. Thunder and most of the appreciation.
Gray, however, disagrees.
"Mistakes need to be corrected!"
Gray cursed a gentle smile and said in a more formal tone, "Just like what happened to us before." If it weren't for the rescue of His Crown, would we still be able to stand outside the Flame City and talk leisurely like this? If it weren't for the strength His Majesty gave us, we would have died on the way back! β
"Strength is everything, and the crown that gives us strength is the guide to where we are!"
Gray took a deep breath and uttered these words.
"That's right! Your Crown is where we are! β
Honest Pooley was the first to approve of such a statement, followed by Edgey and Oren.
Because, what Gray says is the truth.
"Only when the heart is not lost. Only then will you feel my guidance! β
Feeling the purer power of faith coming from the three of them, Dean glanced at Gray without a trace. Full of appreciation.
Dean naturally understood Gray's purpose for doing this.
However, it is precisely because of this understanding that Dean feels how wise the contract he signed with Gray in the first place.
At least, it saved him a lot of trouble.
"In the face of the future, at least the advancement of the 'Moon' must be completed!"
Dean thought to himself.
Then, his gaze naturally turned to Droz. Thunder.
What may happen after that needs to be communicated with this young man-
"Droz, did you see that demon beast in the Lake of Flesh before?"
Dean asked.
"Of course, Your Majesty!"
The young man wondered why Dean asked this, but out of respect for Dean, Droz. Thunder didn't ask rhetorically, but nodded.
"That demon beast is bound there, and that dark cloud formed by negative energy is both its protection and its limitation!"
Dean continued.
"Protection? Limit? Is it because the evil gods want to use it to keep us from entering? β
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood.
"Well, besides, such a stop is far more than in the Lake of Flesh!"
Dean nodded.
"You mean?"
The clever young man guessed something at once.
And at this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.
The departing Thunder Cavalry returned, bringing with them a cavalry from Flame City.
"Fink!"
And when seeing the leading cavalry, Dro. Thunder shouted loudly, his words full of joy.
"Droz!"
The leading horseman, who was on his horse, turned over and dismounted, and came to Dro in three steps and two steps. In front of the thunder, the young man was given a bear hug.
Tongdero. Like Thunder, the other party is also a young man, but he looks extremely strong, even if he is wearing leather armor, he can't hide the muscles on his body. Thunder was more than a head taller, and he carried a two-handed war hammer behind him, which was two laps larger than a watermelon.
However, it can be seen that Droz. The Thunder has a good relationship with each other.
"Your Majesty, this is my friend Fink!"
"Fink, this is the Crown of the Sage from the outside world!"
Darrow. Thunder introduced.
Then the young man on the opposite side saluted Dean with a warrior salute, "Fink. Blaze has seen the Sage! β
Although it is not clear where the honorific title of 'His Majesty' came from, for the 'Sage', Fink . Blaze is no stranger, after all, the outsiders who enter Defendilan are not only in the East, but also in the West.
There are even local scholars in Defendiland who have studied the so-called 'distribution of the saints' - of course, the end result is that there is no pattern to speak of.
"Hello!"
Dean greeted each other in a friendly manner.
One came to the other party is Droz. Thunder's friend.
Second, the other party has the surname of Flame, and it is obvious that he has a considerable status in the Flame City-State. If you want to ask for help in the Flame City-State. The other side is obviously a good entry point.
And after that. It is to introduce Gray and other important entourages.
When everything was done, Fink. The Blaze sent out an invitationβ
"It's completely dark, Droe, Sage, let's go back to Flame City first! Dro, you guy, you're going to have a drink with me in a while! β
Fink. Blaze said with a laugh, with a hearty breath.
"Of course!"
Darrow. Thunder replied with a smile.
Then, the group quickly walked in the direction of Flame City.
A distance of two kilometers, for horseback riders. It's a jogging and sprinting distance.
In a short period of time, the cavalry teams of the two city-states appeared under the Flame City, but, at this time-
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Three bells that broke the silence of the night rang violently.
On the moment also with Droz. Thunder has a talking and laughing Fink. Blaze's face changed suddenly, and then he swung his whip violently.
Syllable!
"Drive!"
Fink. Flames shouted, and suddenly, the war horse rushed towards Flame City like an arrow from the string. Thunder followed.
However, the suspension bridge under the city gate in front of it was slowly retracted at this time.
"Stop!"
Fink. Blaze shouted.
But. The drawbridge had no intention of stopping, on the contrary. But the rate of rise is getting faster and faster.
Obviously, Fink. Blaze, Droz. Thunder was going to be kept out of the walls.
Sou!
A blast of wind flashed, and Gray's figure appeared on the edge of the drawbridge's slow rise, first smiling slightly in the direction of the wall, and then at Fink. Blaze, Droz. After the two thunderbolts waved their hands to signal that they would not be impatient, they stomped their feet violently.
Bang!
With a silent sound, the drawbridge fell down at a speed countless times faster than it was raised.
Rumble!
A cloud of dust was raised.
With a wave of his hand, the dust vanished without a trace, and he smiled softly at Fink. Blaze, Droz. The two of them made a gesture of please.
"Thanks, Gray!"
Fink. Blaze said loudly, and then, without stopping, rushed past Gray's side, heading towards the city.
Darrow. Thunder followed closely.
And in Droz. In Thunder's heart, he subconsciously thought of what Dean said to him before.
"Hopefully it won't be as ...... as His Majesty guesses"
The young man muttered to himself in his heart, wishing he had thought too much.
However, when they think of the alarm bells that will never be sounded if they are not at the most critical moment, young people know that they have some extravagant hopes.
After all, a crisis that can reach the level of sounding the alarm bell is definitely not to be underestimated.
It's like being in Thunder City.
The last time the alarm bell was sounded, it was because of the invasion of the city-state at sunset.
Countless soldiers marched towards the palace district, which showed the way for the two young men.
Click!
The hooves of the two war horses stepped on the stone pavement, and immediately made a crisp sound, and the two entered the palace area of Flame City one after the other.
In front of the palace, a group of Flame City guards were surrounding the palace.
"His Royal Highness Prince Fink, please stop!"
A group of Flame City-State guards fare in the way of Fink. Blaze, Droz. In front of the two thunderers.
"Get out of the way!"
Fink. Blaze subconsciously raised the whip in his hand, and was about to pull it down, opening all the people who were blocking him.
However, it was taken by Droz. Thunder stopped.
Darrow. Thunder grabbed Fink. Blaze held the horsewhip's hand, and then, persuading, "Fink, calm down, ask first, what happened?" β
Fink breathed violently several times, but for Dro. Thunder's persuasion stopped, he looked down at the guards, and asked, "What happened, why did the soldiers flock to the palace?" β
"His Royal Highness, His Majesty the King has been assassinated!"
The guard replied.
