Chapter 870 101. "Old Acquaintance"
"Me? Forget it... I have some... disputes with the devil. If I let the devil see it, I'm afraid they will stare at me and chase me."
Annan was worried that these demons were related to the demon king in the dream. Naven thought that Annan was avoiding trouble and said dissatisfied: "You are the Knight of the Holy Grail, and bravery is your motto."
"But I What if I offended a demon king?"
Naven closed his mouth, and de la Torre asked: "Which one?"
"I don't know, but because of it, I haven't had a good sleep for almost half a year."
De La Torre no longer pressed: "It's a good thing you don't go, maybe the devil is prone to internal strife. Seeing you will unite us.”
Finally, the two Holy Grail Knights rushed to the east with most of the soldiers in Valley City, including Shadow Song.
Shadowsong is now the Honorary Warden: a group of vicious criminals and caretakers entrusted to her by the old Councilor.
Compared with the disapproval of the outside world, Annan has confidence in her: she has a sense of justice, and Shadow Song has proven herself. The ability to suppress prisoners, a Shadow Brotherhood killer should have no shortage of.
"We will meet again."
Annan bid farewell to Shadow Song.
Their departure was just the beginning. Next, the nobles and businessmen of Valley City began to pack their things and prepare to leave Lesio Valley.
The old council leader planned to retreat to Gray Silver Castle, and he happened to be traveling with Annan.
In the early morning, Annan followed the MPs on this long migration road.
The south gate of Gucheng is always busy from day to night, and hundreds of thousands of residents are forced to pack their bags and stay away from their hometowns.
Fortunately, they are not short of food. Fortunately, the rat people are still far away from here, so they don't have to worry about being caught up by the rats.
The bustling Gucheng a few days ago gradually became deserted, but not everyone left... Many old and sick people did not want to leave, nor did they want to leave.
"We were born here, gave birth to our offspring here, and of course we will die here..." They rejected the persuasion of the soldiers and family members.
There are fewer and fewer people in the city, and the rat men from the north are getting closer.
The remaining old guys, whose average age was over sixty years old, put on hand-woven straw armor, sharpened their crutches, and ran to the mottled low walls built to resist the orcs two hundred years ago.
The golden sunshine shines slantingly on the open fields, and the dark brown land is filled with the fragrance of earth. Flocks of sparrows feed in the fields.
The tranquility and beauty of autumn were broken by the sudden trembling of the earth. The weeds trembled and the sparrows fled.
On the distant horizon, a dark wave surges towards me.
On the low wall, an old man wearing plate armor that could not hide the rust even if it was wiped repeatedly was riding on the back of an old cow, waving a sharpened cane: "Soldiers, charge with me. ——”
The old people in front of the low wall let out scattered shouts, supported each other, leaned on crutches, and jumped on one of their sprained legs, charging towards the black tide of rats——
The rats that filled the air. The tide submerged them instantly.
......
Da da da da da—
The migrating crowd walking on the road looked at the knights rushing past with dust.
The knights rushed to the front of the procession and were stopped by the guards. After verifying their identities, they approached the carriage where the old council leader was.
"Sir, Sir, the rat tide has arrived in Gucheng!"
The old congressman stared at the north in shock, and let out a long sigh for a long time...
Even if he had been prepared, But when that day comes and the fall of our home is still hard to accept.
Annan can feel the same way. It was equally painful when he was forced to leave Xingyue Bay...
He will go back sooner or later... Liberty City has floated into the sky, that day will not be too far away.
"Tell everyone that the Skaven are only two days away from us. Speed up and get to Gray Silver Castle before the Skaven catch up!"
The old council leader's order followed the cavalry. Spread throughout this team that stretches for dozens of miles.
The speed of the team increased by one point, but more people were left behind...
Annan asked the floating city to come from Gray Silver Castle to pick up those who were left behind due to physical strength and family members. of civilians.
But don't even think about leaving once they're here... On the evening of the fourth day when all the residents of Valley City migrated, the solid walls of Gray Silver Castle finally appeared in the distance.
Because of Annan's maneuvering and the old council chairman's weight, the ugly scenes like those on the front line did not happen again this time. The guards of Gray Silver Castle only let the residents in after a slight inspection.
There is no food crisis, the more people there are, the safer it is.
Annan declined the invitation of the old council chairman and the deputy city lord of Gray Silver Castle to attend the banquet tonight. When he was about to return to the floating city, a panicked shout suddenly sounded on the street.
"What is that?"
People on the street raised their heads, and the sky in the east seemed to be burning.
"The devil has begun to attack the Fasi Tundra..."
The old council leader said. Suddenly, Annan fell down as if he had lost consciousness.
Elimayas came in like the wind and supported Annan to prevent him from falling and breaking his appearance.
"What's wrong with him!?" The old council president was frightened.
"He fell asleep..."
Elimayas knew that Annan had been avoiding a certain demon in the abyss by not sleeping... There must be something wrong with him suddenly falling asleep now.
She said nothing and lifted the transformation spell. As the huge dragon body stretched out, everyone on the street was pushed away, and Ilimayas carried Annan up into the floating city.
"Lilith!"
Ilimoyas landed in front of the mage tower.
A beautiful shadow was projected from the tower, and Lilith swept over Annan's sleeping face: "A certain powerful being forcibly captured him in his dream."
"The Demon Lord ...It affects Annan? Why at this time?" Ilimoyasi's words became more visible to the naked eye.
"I think it has something to do with the burning sky..."
...
Annan woke up leisurely in front of the familiar lava lake.
"How could I..."
Annan raised his head and saw a terrifying flame shadow standing in the lava lake. It was so huge that even standing in the deepest part of the lake still remained The upper body shrouded in flames was exposed.
"Long time no see, great demon king, I miss you very much..."
Annan greeted respectfully like a kid from hell.
"You are within Ursalon's breath range." it said, "Kill it."
"Esalon?"
"A demon lord..."
< br>Annan exclaimed: "Do you think too highly of me?"
"The minions of..."
"Oh." Annan responded honestly and hesitated: "Is that demon king your enemy?"
"That's a legendary red dragon."
"Okay, In my eyes, there is no difference between a demon king and a legendary red dragon. They are both beings who can crush me to death with their hands."
"You want to refuse?"
"No, It should be said that it is 'a choice based on examining one's own abilities and realizing that one cannot do it and then acting within one's ability'..."
Annan was thinking about rejecting the words, when a red light suddenly shot out from the head of the huge flaming shadow and penetrated into Annan's mind.
Illusions without the restraint of reason grew wantonly in an instant, and Annan lost the ability to think.
"Follow my orders, slave..."
Annan lowered his head stiffly: "Follow my orders, master..."
