Chris's Faith of Fire

However, it rained all night... That night, the orcs attacked. Their bright red eyes and green skin reflected the moonlight at night, covering up their ugliness.The soldiers in the city are still repairing the city wall. They have been stoned by siege machines for a long time. Part of Yanxu City has long been in ruins. They may not be able to resist this time... She has already observed the orc army, and they are not enough. , if you dare to launch an attack, you must have reinforcements.

Listening to the horns blown by these barbarians at night, Ingrid only felt that the end was coming. She looked at the city, following the little light from the torches in the hands of the soldiers, and aimed at the pitch-black area.

How many do they have?The rows are as densely packed as wheat in a rice field, and you can't see the edge at a glance.We will die, she was sure. A spear was thrown over, and the soldier standing next to him fell down in response. It was hard to see clearly in the night, but the spear penetrated deeply. The strength of the orc soldiers was indeed unusual.

The scariest thing is... there are still a lot of them.

The cracks in the city wall will be the focus of protection. Ingrid led the knights to rush down the city wall. She wished she could grow wings and jump down without wasting extra time.

And several nobles and adults are already guarding here.

Richart Frederick, Victor Siglo, Ulysses Lucius.

"Praise for your courage, my lords."

"Your Excellency Ingrid...this is what we should say."

Victor Siglo, the owner of Firebeard City, replied that Ingrid was missing his two sons, Jim and Carlan.

"Where are the gentlemen?"

"Defend the city wall."

"The city is also very dangerous now, and those monsters are particularly accurate in throwing spears."

"In that case, let them learn to dodge. The two brothers often played like this when they were young. Where is your Majesty, is she also guarding the city wall?"

"Your Majesty has a more important mission..."

"I see~ I hope she can avoid those spears."

Even before the battle, Victor's words were still so humorous. As the lord of Yanxu City, he had already shown the magnanimity that a man from the Kingdom of Flame should have.

"Your Majesty, she will."

Ingrid nodded, and they took up their positions to welcome the arrival of the enemies.

In less than a moment, the group of monsters discovered the attack point here. As expected, their number was far greater than before.These demons piled on top of each other like wasps in a honeycomb and swarmed in crazily.

Ingrid commanded the soldiers. At this time, Lord Frederick lost his previous heroic words. He immediately left the battlefield where he should be leading the way. Lord Ulysses of the Fourcade family saw him like this and spit. Take a bite.

"Son of a bitch, if he doesn't die, I'm going to take his life."

"This time it seems we are in complete agreement, sir." Victor Siglo agreed.

They fought with all their strength, and all the hot oil prepared by the soldiers was poured on the heads of the orcs, followed by fire arrows. Now they could see a little more clearly in the distance.Wizards can also cast large-scale magic on them. If there are not many of them, they can be said to have an advantage. The siege team needs three times the number of troops of the defenders before they can consider attacking. Ingrid clearly remembers that she has 5000 people. , and hundreds of paladins, who can quickly treat the wounded. Considering this, perhaps their actual combat power will be closer to [-] to [-].

During the previous investigation, there were only two thousand of them, which was too few... With the offensive of defending the city, they could be completely wiped out, but in fact, they increased rapidly in a short period of time. There must be reinforcements from the Demon King.

The flames burned the orcs' bodies and emitted an unpleasant smell, and this smell permeated every part of the air until their fire arrows were used up and the wizards were exhausted.

"My lords, it seems that Frederick is the last to die." Ingrid waved the sword in her hand to cut down the orcs who wanted to pour in through the gaps in the city wall, and at the same time followed the nobles behind her. Just kidding.

"I heard that Lord Lebar was once trapped in the fortress when he and His Majesty Masefield conquered the old King of Garnet when they were young. They killed eighty people before the troops came to rescue them and relieved the siege." Victor Siglo said.

"It's a pity that they didn't chop down eighty orcs." Lord Ulysses chopped down the orcs. His arm was already injured, and everyone thought he would be the first to die.

"Paladins! Come and heal Lord Ulysses Lucius!"

Ingrid's roar was not inferior to that of male knights. Although she still looked so delicate, she was the supreme commander when Ladia was not around. When the Paladins heard this, they hurriedly picked up their canes and caught up. But midway, an orc jumped up high and smashed the knight into pieces with a heavy oak stick.

Have you lost hope?

She raised her long sword and watched four or five orcs in front of her jump into the air at the same time. Even she could not fight with this number of enemies. Ladia said that when she was in the palace, she once fought one against six. It was really too much. incredible.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes gently.

The wind howled in my ears, the shouts, the sound of fire burning through the wood.

Then came the screams. The strange thing is that they were not from the human race, but were deeper and more unpleasant, like the screams when killing pigs. Could it be that they were orcs?

The most worrying thing is that the death she expected has not come...or is she already dead?

Just like that, painlessly, in a split second?

Ingrid didn't believe this.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw a bright red light illuminating the sky, followed by ice crystals shining like silver.

what happened?

A cry resounded through the sky, followed by bright red flames sweeping across the battlefield from top to bottom. The orc team collapsed. No matter how many there were, such an attack could burn thousands of enemy troops in a moment.

What's more, there are those ice crystals, which are like hailstones magnified dozens of times and instantly hit the ground with a roar, as well as the sound of tiny ants being crushed.

Almost everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky, and a black shadow floated past.

This time Ingrid saw clearly, it was the figure of the legendary dragon.

Chapter 263 258. Their own thoughts——4

The whole body is covered with bright red scales, a pair of horns look like dead wood, and the two pairs of legs are strong and powerful.

His wings were fully unfolded, about twenty or thirty rals long, and there were snake-eye patterns on the wing membranes, warning all living beings.He flapped his wings and whipped up a storm, making even the strong orcs unable to stand still, and then he stopped in mid-air.

Not only the orcs, but also the soldiers were confused... After a moment, the red dragon spurted red flames from its mouth.This time the breath was stronger than before, as if the rain of fire from the sky swallowed up the battlefield. The orcs, who were as dense as wheat just now, were immediately burned to black. When they realized that this was a devastating blow, they immediately Scattered away, perhaps this can reduce some casualties, but Ingrid recalled the scene when her two brothers took burning branches to poke ant nests when they were young... They were also inferior creatures. The orcs were like ants under the brothers at that time, scattered in a ball.

Raging flames danced in front of our city wall, and ice cones continued to accurately attack the demons on the ground. Although they had waited for the expected reinforcements, no one showed peace of mind on their faces... This tragic situation made us realize The creature in front of us is so terrifying. In front of it, we are just a group of ants, ants worth noting...

The flames lasted all night, and we watched blankly all night. We could do nothing. Rushing to the battlefield where the red dragon was galloping was just asking for death. We could only deal with the few leaks like a little cook. An orc.But they have also panicked and lost their will to fight. They would rather be cut off by the swords of the knights than die in the monster's flames. I understand...it is really terrible.

In the early morning of the next day, the burnt smell almost permeated the entire land, and all the vegetation was burned... We seemed to have had a giant barbecue feast, the earth was lifeless, and in the distance was the forest where the orcs were originally stationed. Half of the area was missing, and everyone looked up at the sky and watched him gradually fall.

It turns out that the scales on this dragon's body are not bright red, but a darker color. If I have to say it, it is the color of dried blood. I don't know if it is the original color or it was dyed later. There is no suspense in that scene. Everyone must think so about massacre.

He landed steadily, welcoming his triumph like a hero. The moment his huge feet touched the ground, we all felt the exaggerated vibration.Our queen is sitting on the back of the red dragon, with silver hair scattered on her shoulders. Has Ladia really found the dragon king... Looking at this behemoth in front of me, I can only feel a sense of awe.

At the same time, I am concerned about Mihir and another red-haired girl, Ingrid thought as she led Victor and Ulysses cautiously to the front of their monarch.

"Welcome back, Your Majesty."

"Welcome back..." Victor glanced at the dragon and the red-haired girl, and then focused his attention on Ladia.

Latiya brushed her long hair behind her back and jumped off the dragon's back. "Thank you for your hard work. If I came back a little later, the consequences would be really disastrous."

It took a lot of effort for her to convince the Dragon King Rex Hall and Veda who was hosted by Undini. If she had not proved her courage, she would have been frozen in the mountain of [-] Lars and became a thousand-year ice wall. a part of.

"We can still hold on all day, Your Majesty." Victor said unwillingly.

Lord Victor Siglo's sense of honor is twice as strong as the others. The way he wields his ax is reminiscent of the warrior kings of the Dwarf Tribe a long time ago. They never admit defeat and fight in black and white... Violence is discussed more than words.

"You can go and chop off Richat's head now, my lord~" Ulysses chuckled.

"I will go after hearing His Majesty's explanation. I need to know what is going on."

Victor gritted his teeth on this, and he would stick to it until the end.

……

Her Majesty the Queen did not use gorgeous words to describe her heroic feats. The last time the Dragon King Rex Hall appeared was when he was hostile to humans.Now he obeys the orders of the incarnation of the elf Undine, the red-haired girl Veda in front of him. She is young. Ladia said that Veda looks to be the same age as her sister, Her Royal Highness Crystal.

She has long straight hair like a flame, a lively girlish face, her whole body is slender, and her breasts are well developed.Like a bud ready to bloom, but with more weight than that.

"Don't underestimate Veda, Chris also underestimated her~ but she was defeated easily."

The girl smiled very energetically and innocently, but she also seemed to have a blade hidden under her skin. When attacked, she would become a killing machine. Last night, Ingrid had witnessed her terrifying... Power, the falling ice cones should be due to her technique.

Veda appreciated Ladia's courage and promised to help them conquer the Demon King. The Dragon King Rex Hall only fell from the Wild Dragon Mountains to protect himself and not for the human race. The girl specifically emphasized this point.

"My agreement with you will last until the fall of the Demon King, and Veda and the Dragon King will not join the war between humans."

"Of course, I swear in the name of Yan."

Ladia put her hands on her shoulders and bent slightly, performing a knight's salute. In the face of such a great power, even the queen of a country had to show her respect. She made arrangements for Veda with her sincerity. He took the best room in the dilapidated Yanxu City, and the Dragon King could only ask him to bend down in the garden.

The soldiers didn't know if they accepted it, but they knew that their queen had brought incredible help, and it seemed that they could finally see a glimmer of light on their faces that were already almost desperate.Victor did not cut off Richat's head in the end. The boy was so frightened that he escaped and was put under house arrest by Victor. He kept chanting, "You are going to attack my Frederick family." What do you do as a master?"

If Victor had been younger, he would have smashed the wooden door with his big ax and chopped him into pieces.

Time passed very quickly, about two months ago. They did not keep track of the time. Ladia frowned and said, "Who among us will still remember the calendar of the Kingdom of Fire when we defeat the Demon King!"

"Let's make a new one." Ingrid smiled, but her eyes could not be separated from the huge monster in front of her. This monster ate four or five goats every day, which was food for dozens of people.

Ingrid wanted to clarify this issue with Ladia, so she came to Ladia's room.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, she was surprised by the sound of conversation coming from the room.

She opened the door gently.The scene in front of her shocked her. The cold and stern Queen of Fire was sitting beside the bed. She actually held the red-haired girl Veda in her arms, holding the storybook with a gentle look on her face. Like a mother, she really Is it Latiya?She is just an ordinary woman with long hair and gentle appearance.When Ingrid was stunned, Ladia raised her head and noticed the guest, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.

"Vida, can you wait a moment~" She gently lifted the girl from her armpits and put her down.

"Eh? Can't Veda be here?"

The girl asked back, with disappointment in her voice. Ingrid couldn't tell which one was the real her, the ruthless and powerful Veda and the coquettish Veda like a little girl.

"Just wait a few moments." Ladia seemed to remain gentle when talking to her.

"It's an appointment." The girl puffed up her cheeks, and the queen returned her gentle smile again.

"Well, we've made an appointment."

The girl was no longer stubborn and turned around lightly. The dress floated up with her figure and missed Ingrid's body. She made a face and ran out of the room.

"Gentle young mother, Your Majesty Ladia~" Ingrid said. She never cared about the words she said to the Queen. Even if she was offended, it was because of the posthumous friendship between them.

"Don't be kidding..." Ladia would still be angry even though she should be angry.

"This is not an insult..." Ingrid paused, "The way you looked just now reminds me of Princess Cecilia. I have only met her once, but such a gentle and strong person has always been admired by people."

"This is the first time I heard you mention my mother's name." The queen felt strange. She rarely mentioned matters between families. After all, the relationship between the Masefield family and the Lylebar family was tense. It was a matter of the previous generation to fight together.Duke Lebal has always felt that King Kane is unreliable. After all, in the eyes of old people, young people are unreliable.

"I hated the Wang family when I was little."

"Including me too?"

"Of course, you are the most annoying one..."

The two were hiding behind their respective fathers at the banquet and staring at each other. Recalling that time, Ladia still found it very cute.

"You really speak your mind."

"It's not easy to have a friend like this."

"Indeed..."

Everyone praised her as the Princess of the Holy Sword when she was in Lodculosaint.

He began to practice martial arts at the age of seven and learned several skills as a knight. When he was ten years old, he began to hold a sword.

By the time he was 12 years old, he had become a swordsman who could stand alone.

As the glory of the country, no one dared to say anything about her when she was in Salamander's regiment. For a while, Ladia really thought that she was both smart and powerful.

But when the city was broken, she was like a panicked headless fly, just bumping around... If the female succubus hadn't jokingly said, "What a little beauty." She must have already been with the Knights. It looked like her head fell to the ground, and she rolled and crawled away unsightly in the palace invaded by demons. Although she later defeated six lizardmen to protect her honor as a knight, she still could not forgive herself.The once arrogant pride was shattered, and I was just a human being...a weak human being.

The queen's hips left the bed, she stood up straight and came to the window, holding on to the wooden window frame that was missing a section.

She looked at the dragon in the central garden. His huge figure made people feel stressed at all times. If such a monster suddenly rebelled, they would only die.

"Our human race is very weak compared to the demon race or other races." Ladia said, "The demon race is born with powerful magic power and the ability to devour other creatures, and it is also better in terms of physical fitness. The same goes for Mana from the fairy race. Several times that of humans, with excellent eyesight and longer lifespan. Even the orcs are physically stronger and more suitable for fighting. Not to mention the dragons, they are naturally superior and we cannot compare with them. But why is this continent dominated by our human race? They are ruling... Do fairies and dragons really have no desires and desires? I have never thought so..."

"Human race, it's a bit embarrassing to say this in front of everyone, but I have never envied the elf race or the beast race... I am proud of my identity as a human."

Ladia nodded at her best friend's words.

"My father once said that everyone is fire... which reflects our family's motto, the eternal flame will eventually set a prairie fire. The human race is very weak, but we are also perseverant and never give up... Everyone is We have the belief that we insist on and the nobility that will not give up our free will. We are reunited by the weak and become a family, and more families form a country. We love our country deeply and we must protect it at all costs. We communicate with each other. Caring for each other and infecting the people around you with your own beliefs, this is Yan’s belief.”

The essence of Garnet that I'm proud of.

Whether it is the blazing flames that cut through the sky and ignited the war, or the candlelight that serves people's meals, they all have the essence of fire.It can burn, it can convey its passion... it can destroy, it can also give life and regeneration.Every time his father talks about this, he gets inexplicably excited. Now he understands it a little better, Ladia thought to herself, looking back at her best friend.

"Like you, I am proud of my identity as a human being and proud of the cause of restoring our country."

knock knock knock...

A knock on the door sounded at an inappropriate time. Ladia shook her head and said helplessly, "Come in."

What disturbed them was the scouts sent out to investigate earlier.

"Your Majesty, Lord Leirbal... there is an army of demon kings marching towards here, the distance is about 120 fra."

"Is it only a few days' journey? What is their composition?"

The scout hesitated for a moment and said: "A mixed army, but the leader is the black knight who was defeated in Leerbar City last time."

"Oh? Is this revenge coming?" Ladia pressed the long sword "Dawn Star" she placed beside the bed.
