The mage arrives

As the golden dragons flew closer and closer, others could see their appearance clearly.

The golden scales on the body of the largest male dragon, Manudos Jinyan, had many smoky marks, and there was even a wound on his abdomen, from which dragon blood was slowly oozing out.What kind of sharp weapon is it that can break off the scales of an adult golden dragon and injure the flesh inside?

Manudos Jinyan's wife, Dotriris, is also not very good. There is a big hole in her right wing, which seems to be caused by some kind of strong corrosion. When she is flying, she must constantly adjust her balance to maintain her body attitude.In addition, there were several sharp scratches on Dotriles' head, and the bone was almost visible.

However, the condition of the two young dragons is much better than their parents.This is not because they are very strong, but because Manudos and Dotriris take care of their children and protect them from too much damage even during the battle.

Four golden dragons landed on the rooftop one after another.Manudos' rapid panting sounded like a big drum in the hearts of every human being.He chanted incantations in Draconic and cast an advanced healing spell that Gordon didn't recognize.The golden light spread from his claws and quickly enveloped the other three golden dragons.

After the light dissipated, the wounds on the bodies of the four members of Jinlong's family disappeared without a trace.

At this time, Manudos transformed into a human form.

However, although the injury has been healed with the help of the spell, Gordon can still see that Manudos' handsome and proud face is full of fatigue and weakness that cannot be concealed.

"Old friend, can you tell me what happened?" Rob Antello stepped forward and asked.

Regardless of the fact that each of these people has titles such as earl, viscount, legion commander, and city lord that ordinary people look up to.But the only person who can really make Jinlong look at him squarely and talk to him is the Lord of Scepter.

Perhaps with the Seal of Platinum.The golden dragons will treat Gordon specially, but he will not be so stupid as to join in the fun at this time.

"Princess Marlene's fortress has been breached..." Manudos' face turned livid.

Before Jin Long finished speaking, there was an uproar around him.

It was only yesterday that the orc army arrived at Princess Marlene's fortress and that the commander of the garrison, Viscount Huck, had decided to resist desperately. Why was the fortress breached today?

"Hackett surrendered?"

"No, I saw the fortress commander died on the wall with my own eyes." Manudos shook his head.With a rare sigh, he said. "The enemy has brought out a new weapon. A weapon that has disappeared from the world of Telos for thousands of years, and I have only heard of it from my father."

Jin Long's deep gaze turned to the distance, the leaden cloud billowing sky: "The enemy has it. There is a flying warship."

Flying battleship?

Hearing Manudos utter this word, Gordon immediately thought of the remains of flying battleships that had fallen and pierced into the ground like sharp swords in the ruins of Danzig.Even after the tragic war and the erosion of the years.But those Netherdulan magic empire's ultimate weapon.It still has the courage to let people shake their hearts just by looking at it.

Jin Long paused, and found that everyone was too shocked by his words to react. Even Grand Duke Rob Antello showed an expression of disbelief.He added: "Perhaps my statement is a bit inaccurate. The enemy's flying warship is incomplete and lacks the most critical part of this weapon: the power source. Rob, the specific situation. I think you and the young After people see the real thing with their own eyes, they will know better than me. You know. I am only interested in paintings, songs, and literature about the many creations of your human civilization, and I don’t know much about murder weapons.”

Jin Long took a look at Gordon and added: "The flying warship is protected by more than a hundred Chaos Flying Dragons. They are ugly creatures born from the mixture of cold venom flying dragons and demon blood that live along the coast of the Endless Ocean in the northeast. It can spit out extremely corrosive and poisonous mist with chaotic energy, you better be careful."

Gordon looked at Dotriris. The wound on the wing of the Golden Dragon Wife should have been caused by the Chaos Flying Dragon.

"Rob, we need to rest. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you for the next two days."

"It doesn't matter." The lord of the scepter summoned an attendant, "I have already prepared a room for you, and your family can rest at ease."

After Jinlong's family of four left, everyone was reluctant to leave the balcony where the cold wind was blowing.They turned their gazes to the distant horizon with worry on their faces.

"The flying battleship of the Netherdulan Magic Empire? What kind of weapon is that, which can help the orc army capture the fortress of Princess Marlene, which has a strong defense in one day?" High Rock City Lord Reso Lorredo A worried expression appeared on the earl's face.

In terms of defense standards alone, High Rock City is not much stronger than Princess Marlene's Fortress. Compared with other northern fortresses that have been captured, this city's biggest advantage is its scale.But how useful is this scale in front of the powerful weapon from the legendary era?

"What kind of thing that is, we will find out soon."

The words of Grand Duke Rob Antello, like a prophecy, soon became a reality.

That afternoon, the sky turned from white to gray, and when night was gradually falling, the sentinel located on the top terrace of the Red Giant Rock Fortress—the highest point in the entire High Rock City—found that there seemed to be some changes within his line of sight.

The northern hills and plains in winter have already lost the last trace of emerald green in late autumn.Looking around in Gaoyan City, it looks like an undulating withered yellow carpet, extending to the junction of the end of the line of sight and the sky.Now, as far as the eye can see, in this monotonous yellow, several black and green mixed with colorful embellishments suddenly appeared.

That green is not the greenness of plants, but the savage skin color of orcs.The black color is not the depth of the fertile soil, but the messy fur of the warg.

"Worg cavalry!" The sentinel who saw this scene immediately sounded the alarm.

The wolf cavalry, who were the scouts of the orc army, had arrived at Gaoyan City. Everyone knew what it meant.

A few wolf cavalry stopped arrogantly 1000 meters away from Gaoyan City, walked around a few times, left behind a series of rampant laughter and rude abuse, then turned and left.However, the defenders of Gaoyan City will not be relieved because of this. On the contrary, after hearing the news, Grand Duke Rob Antello immediately issued a first-level combat readiness order.

The hinges contracted, the gears turned, the bridge over the moat was raised high, and the gate of Gaoyan City was tightly closed.The soldiers put on their armor and took up their weapons. After gathering, under the leadership of the officers, they immediately marched to the defense area already marked on the city wall.Materials such as rolling logs, stones, tar, arrows, etc. were also removed from the warehouse by the auxiliary soldiers and placed within reach of the front-line combat soldiers.Wartime fire brigades composed of citizens also gathered in various urban areas. They carried wooden barrels and stood beside the water-filled carriages, even more nervous than the soldiers on the city walls who were about to face the enemy.If the orcs want to use rockets or fire bombs thrown by catapults to ignite High Rock City, then these firefighters must rush to the scene of the fire as soon as possible.

When Gordon led Xiona, Dalinar, and Chuck to the city wall, he happened to see a long green line that almost extended to both sides in the distance.

Composing this line are countless orc warriors who have polished their strong bodies and green skin in the wind and frost of the barren tundra.

"It's an honor to fight alongside you, Baron Freeman!" A young officer wearing a cockscomb round helmet gave Gordon a Ferretton salute on the city wall.This handsome young man, who seems to have just grown up, is named Sward, and is a centurion of the Redstone Legion.Tonight, Gordon will temporarily play the role of a field mage, helping Sward defend the section of the city wall to the left of the gate of High Rock City.

Snapped!

Immediately after Sward, the soldiers on the city wall also saluted Gordon.

The sound of the soldiers' neat movements even made Dalinar, who had never seen any big scenes, shrink back in fright.

After the last victory celebration, Gordon has become a household name in Gaoyan City.No matter where he walked in the city, there were always soldiers who would immediately give him the most solemn military salute when they met him.

Just like the success of a celebrity, half of it is due to the operating team behind it. I am afraid that Gordon's current status, which is respected by thousands of people, is largely due to the skill of Grand Duke Antaello in successfully running the celebration ceremony, as well as his An impassioned speech at a convention.

Gordon, unlike Durrington, enjoyed the cheers and adoration of the spotlight.As a mage, he prefers to hide behind the scenes and focus on his own business.

So facing this kind of welcome that could already be called grand, Gordon just nodded lightly in response.His action is another matter in the eyes of Chuck and others.These newly appointed Freeman retainers were immediately slightly shocked by the patriarch's indifference.

After a brief introduction between the two sides, Centurion Sward and Gordon came to the city wall together, looking through the arrow stacks at the orc army that was getting closer and closer outside the city.

Sward is a son of a nobleman, and he got the position of a centurion as soon as he joined the army. He has never experienced a real war, so he saw the seemingly endless orc army covering the entire plain like a green ocean. , His face began to gradually turn pale.

Especially the hundreds of thousands of orc boots stepping on the ground together, the deep sound that seems to be able to penetrate the soul, every time it sounds, Sward can't help but gasp.

"Relax, Centurion, there are more terrible things to come."

"Are you comforting me?" Sward looked at Gordon with a wry smile.As soon as he finished speaking, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distant sky, deep in the clouds. (To be continued..)
