Chapter 741 Raid on Blackstone City
Lanita also received good news before setting off. The prophet Merlin of the Shuanghui Cult was said to have just appeared in Solid Rock Castle, and he went to visit the savages who settled there.
It seems that they are planning to recruit more warriors for Shuangxiujiao and the Arias family.
This further strengthened Lanita's conclusion that Ilea did not have so many Italian cannons on hand, otherwise she would not have to be so careful.
At the same time, Merlin's absence in Green Field also meant that her trip to Black Rock City would be safer.
After all, it only takes half a day to get from Green Field to Black Rock City, and it would take at least six days to get there from Solid Stone Castle. When it was discovered that Black Rock City was under attack, Merlin would not be able to make it back.
So Lanita no longer hesitated, mounted her white dragon early the next morning, and flew towards Black Rock City.
She set off early in the morning and reached the sky above Black Rock City before sunset, overlooking the lively town below.
People there still knew nothing about the impending disaster. They had just finished a hard day's work, and many people were preparing to go home for dinner or go to the pub for a drink. The streets were now bustling with people.
Lanita first found the largest castle in the city. If nothing else happened, Angela should live there. In addition, she secretly noted down several places with dense crowds of people or buildings.
She had just been assassinated by the Blood Moon Society, and the girl was feeling unhappy. This time she planned to teach the people in this city an unforgettable lesson, and let those who dared to resist her see the consequences of going against her. .
Lanita licked her lips and was about to order the white dragon to swoop down, but the next moment, she saw a small black dot appear to the southeast of her.
Lanita narrowed her eyes. The little black dot was flying towards this side very quickly, and it would be in front of her in a short while.
When she saw the man's appearance clearly, the girl couldn't help but show a look of surprise, "Are you that...Joseph from the Red-breasted Tribe?"
"I am Yasu, Lord Lanita," the visitor saluted, "I followed your brother and his party to the Western Region to challenge Ilea. Lord Sharjah wanted to prove that he was the most powerful warrior, and at the same time, he also Revenge for our fallen brethren”
"I heard from Solomon that you seemed to be their translator." The girl raised her eyebrows, "Since you are still alive, what about Sharjah and the others?"
"Lord Sharjah is dead," Assy said in a sad tone. "We failed. Merlin predicted our arrival. The Arias family made preparations in advance. We stepped into the trap they set. As a result, Sharjah Lord Jia died on the spot
"Although the other people fought hard, they were no match for the ambushers. Moreover, we had already sneaked into the castle and could not leave with our wings. Except for those who died in the battle, the rest were also captured."
"Then why are you here?" Lanita looked at Yasu with a playful expression.
"Ilea and Merlin want to interrogate the people who are still alive, and they need an interpreter." A look of shame appeared on Yasu's face. "In order to survive, I had to pretend to submit to them, but I did not forget my own ethnic group and True Faith.”
"Really? Then your faith is quite firm."
Yasu heard the sarcasm in Lanita's words. He did not defend himself anymore, but just said, "I came to see you to report something important. Please don't enter Black Rock City."
"Why?"
"Because Merlin is waiting for you there."
"You're lying to me, Merlin is at Stonehold now."
"No, that's just a lie deliberately spread by the Arias family and Shuangxiujiao."
Assu said, "Merlin predicted your attack on Black Rock City, just like he predicted Lord Sharjah's attack on Teacup Castle before. They have been prepared for it a long time ago. If you go down now, you will fall into their trap."
"Prophecy?" Lanita blinked, a little doubtful, because she couldn't see anything different in the Black Rock City under her feet.
However, after she was delayed for such a while, the people below had already discovered her and her dragon. The crowd became commotion and began to run away, but the girl took another look at the castle and the city gate.
I found that those two places were extremely quiet, and there had been no movement until now.
This made her feel a little doubtful.
"This is not the place to talk." Yasu looked anxious, "Lady Lanita, please come with me."
"Where are you taking me?"
"Just around here, find a place where no one will disturb you."
"Then let me come find it." Lanita said. She glanced around, and finally her eyes fell on a deep forest in the distance, while secretly observing Yasu's reaction.
Seeing that the latter's face did not show any disappointment and embarrassment, nor did she suggest changing places, she simply nodded in agreement. It seemed that she just wanted to leave Black Rock City with her. Lanita believed Yasu's words again. A few points.
She looked at Black Rock City at her feet again, patted Bai Long's neck, and asked the latter to turn around and fly towards the woods.
Lanita always remained cautious and let the white dragon circle over the woods for a few times, but did not find any ambush inside.
Then she picked a swamp in the forest and let the white dragon land on a small piece of land in the center. In this way, even if an enemy suddenly attacked, it would be difficult to cross the swamp for a while.
Lanita then looked at Yasu again, "Have you been waiting for me around here?"
"No, I just arrived not long ago. As I said, Merlin predicted your arrival, and I came to you based on the predicted time."
"Then why didn't he predict that you would come to inform me?"
Lanita jumped off the dragon's back, flapped the wings behind her twice, and landed smoothly on the ground.
"Even Merlin's monthly prophecies have a number of times." Assu said, "Although he is very powerful, he is not a true god after all."
"Wow, you think very highly of him."
"You'd feel the same way if you met him."
"This makes me a little curious," Lanita said, "Okay, I have temporarily given up the attack on Blackstone City as you said. First tell me how Merlin plans to deal with me."
"Actually, his main target is not you, but the White Queen." Yasu raised his head and glanced at Bailong, who was lying in the swamp looking around boredly.
"Is there any way he can kill the White Queen?"
"Yes, Merlin has killed a dragon with the female lord before. He has a very powerful sacred weapon that even the dragon's hard armor cannot resist."
"Then what should I do, return to Rock Snow City immediately?" Lanita asked.
"No, I think you should take advantage of this rare opportunity to destroy that sacred artifact." Yasu Surong said, "In this way, nothing on this continent can hurt the White Queen and her other two. A companion." (End of this chapter)
