Looking back, although the faint morning light has appeared on the sky, Stromgarde, immersed in darkness, still looks like an indescribable giant beast, majestic and tyrannical. WWw, QuAnBen-XIaoShuo, cOm However, an obvious gap has appeared in the gap that was previously collapsed by the flesh and blood metal puppet.
Even looking from a distance on this hill, one can clearly see that the tatters are particularly profound and obvious, like a scar, deeply and heavily carved on Stromgarde, as if to mark the The evil Duke's power on this fertile plain of wheat, although it still exists in appearance, is completely rotten at the root. Only a rotten empty shell remains, and the rot has even extended to the outside!
There were continuous tremors on the ground. At this time, there was also a faint smell of sulfur in the night wind. It seemed that the underground crater had begun to move vaguely. Fang Lin suddenly understood what Duke Allen was thinking. , the reason why he stayed away from his station that day and left the disciplinary knight Scott to guard it was because he didn't have any good purpose.
Because the steel-armored giant carrying a bronze-handed sledgehammer should have been sent by the evil archduke to use the temperature of the magma core to temper the magic weapon. === Allen felt that this behavior was likely to cause changes in the earth's atmosphere, which might lead to a volcanic eruption with unpredictable consequences. Therefore, under the premise that the evil archduke's order was irreversible, he took the initiative to ask for permission to leave Stromgarde. , the purpose is very sinister, just to want Scott to take the blame for himself. Even if something happens in Stromgarde, it will not be attributed to Allen at all.
While Fang Lin was thinking, he stopped in his tracks. Now that he has obtained Allen's token, it is equivalent to holding Allen's vitals in his hands. In short, my main mission of guarding Dilan Fortress will take some time, so I might as well postpone it until the last minute and rush there. It is conceivable that the more impatient Allen is, the more beneficial it will be for future negotiations. According to Fang Lin's judgment, there is a high chance, or even a 100% chance, of a magic wand appearing in the golden scepter chest. Then it is not impossible for Duke Allen, a scheming guy, to turn his back on the spot.
So Fang Lin and the others did not return to Dylan Fortress. Instead, they marched to the top of a mountain nearly 20 kilometers away from Stromgarde. They found a cave and got into it. But even here, the faint smell of sulfur in the air was very clear. . **** And the temperature of the air is not as crisp as before dawn, but has a warm feeling.
In the darkness before dawn, the entire sky around Stromgarde was dyed a deep crimson color --- to be precise, it was the color of blood! The rumbling gradually intensified, and a rift gradually expanded from the ridge of Stromgarde. A large amount of sand and stone dyed dark red by the fire fell. As the rift expanded, a narrow gap appeared below. The vast crimson ocean can almost engulf the sight. The things boiling underneath seem to be both magma and millions of burning ghosts!
The crimson light that we saw just now came from here, wantonly rendering the night sky ruled by darkness! The mountains on both sides kept collapsing, sinking into the burning red ocean below, and from time to time there were waterfalls of blood. The red magma rushed straight up in an instant, and then covered it down condescendingly. The Torrent Castle gradually tilted, and half of the castle collapsed. Fang Lin and others could feel the dazzling excitement even though they were so far away. Thrilling!
The sky was getting brighter, but Fang Lin and the others lit a fire in the cave, cooked a pot of sizzling broth and drank it hot. The mountains were full of sun-dried hay, and they just pulled some in and cooked it. Several people fell asleep on the thatched bunks. At this time, everyone was relaxed and slept from morning until the early morning of the next day. *****
Fang Lin's sleep was extremely sweet. He was the last one to wake up. Lao Hu and the others, who had arrived early, were talking quietly to avoid waking him up. After waking up, Fang Lin wiped his face with cold water. I felt refreshed and unbearably thirsty, so I picked up a pot of honeysuckle tea and drank it hard.
After walking out of the cave. He only felt that the smell of sulfur in the air was stronger, and the direction of Stromgarde was still dyed red by the fire. It seemed that a second explosion was very likely. At this time, Fang Lin looked at the time and felt that he was already far away from the guard. The ten-day limit for the main mission of Lan Fortress was not too far away, so he returned to Dylan Fortress.
The hills in the distance are undulating, but they stop abruptly after reaching the slope in front, and there will be a flat plain of wheat in front of you! And Dilan Fortress is in this wilderness with the power of one man to guard against ten thousand men. Waiting for them, the last hill that blocked people's sight soon succumbed to Fang Lin and the others. \\\\
However, with the faint light of the stars and the moon, what appeared in front of them was a desolate land full of destruction.
The vast plains that were supposed to be full of crops were littered with corpses, but instead they were filled with the wounds and products left over from the war!
In the short two days since Fang Lin and the others went to Rapids Castle, Dilan Fortress was once again severely attacked, and smoke was still rising throughout Dilan Fortress. The huge crack on the city wall was smeared with a large amount of blood and bones, as if a dying patient was struggling with his last breath.
Fang Lin frowned slightly and rushed down the mountain. He carefully examined the bones remaining on the plain and did not speak for a long time. Although the dead cannot speak, the information brought by the corpse is sometimes much more reliable than what is spoken by mouth. There is no doubt that when Arthur launched the attack on Stromgarde, he did not give up the suppression of Dylan Fortress, and tried to prevent the manpower in Dylan Fortress from coming to rescue.
Fang Lin patrolled the battlefield. Many corpses were turned over to look at their backs, and many of them had penetrating wounds on their chests. And the wounds were all burnt into light black. This is obviously a symbol of being hit by a flaming javelin, indicating that in addition to suffering severe penetrating injuries, the body will also be damaged due to the high heat during the contact. Burns leave dark, indelible marks like this.
The only person who could cause such an injury was the barbarian dwarf beside Allen. There is almost no other troop type, only their big bows can shoot such sharp javelins. It can be inferred from this that there are a considerable number of such terrible enemies among the reinforcements called by Duke Allen. In other words, if Duke Allen feels unwilling to go back on his word at this time, he also has the ability to turn his back on others.
So Fang Lin thought about it and waited again until the reminder of the nightmare mark rang:
"The hidden main mission is to protect Duke Allen (completed). Dylan Fortress is currently 100% occupied by the evil Archduke Garibaldi, and Duke Allen is still alive."
"Hidden main quest reward i: 30,000 points, 15 potential points. All attributes +2. The pass evaluation will increase."
"Hidden main quest reward ii: E-level golden item, horse's seal. This magic item seals the soul of a horse. After use, it can summon a mount of a divine horse. It disappears after use. No need to ride this mount. Related riding skills, the physical strength on the mount is increased by 30%, the movement speed is increased by 30%. The attack range is increased by 3 meters. Before the mount dies, all the damage you receive will be borne by it. This prop can also be exchanged for 30,000 points. 30 potential points.”
Although this mount is quite restricted by the terrain, for example, it is not suitable for underwater, swamp and other environments where horses run, but the attribute "before the mount dies, all the damage you receive will be borne by it" can be used in key situations. Sometimes it can save lives. However, for Fang Lin's team with the giant mammoth war elephant Nana, it seemed a bit useless.
Soon, Nightmare Mark gave another prompt:
"Three of you have signed a KOF contract, and the level of the nightmare mark of two of you has been raised to level IV, so you have the authority to merge the rewards II. If the rewards are merged, the three people's E-level gold props and the horse's seal will be Will be cancelled. Obtain a blue battle flag with level-----1."
Note: The blue battle flag does not occupy the equipment slot. After being carried, it can be used to increase the movement speed of friendly forces within one kilometer by 4%. Comes with passive skill mental power burning:
While causing direct damage to the enemy, it will also have a mental burning effect. The amount of mental power burning is 1% of the effective damage value.
The blue battle flag can be enhanced in the nightmare space, but the enhancement failure rate is twice that of ordinary equipment.
After Fang Lin and the other three chose the blue battle flag, the Nightmare Mark prompted again: Your main mission has been completed, but there is still a hidden mission: the token lost in Stromgarde. Do you want to return to the nightmare space immediately? whether. If you don't choose to return within half an hour, you will be wiped out. "
What Fang Lin was waiting for was the option of returning to the nightmare space at any time. He smiled slightly, walked to Dilan Fortress, took out the very luxurious and bright-looking token, held it in the palm of his hand and said loudly:
"Please ask Duke Allen to come out and answer."
