Hedulan City.
It was the sunniest time of the day, and the huge square in front of the spacious and majestic city hall was already occupied by a sea of citizens, crowded and motionless. Teams of heavily armed city guards held halberds and pushed desperately, so that the huge open space in the center of the square could not be swallowed up by the raging crowd.
It was just early spring, and the breeze still carried a chill. Even so, the city guards who were responsible for maintaining order were still tired with crooked helmets and sweating profusely.
Citizens crowded in the square, regardless of men and women, are holding bouquets of delicate and beautiful flowers in their hands. They stood on tiptoe, built a shade with their hands, and desperately looked towards the end of the sky, as if they were waiting for something. And there, under the blue sky, except for a few white clouds floating slowly, there is nothing worth noting.
On both sides of the city hall, groups of demon hunter knights in bright armor faced the lord's guard on the other side. Although the two sides could not be said to be at war, the atmosphere was still dignified and chilling compared to the square below.
Every time the demon hunter knights perched on the magic horse glanced at the opposite side, there would be an imperceptible hint of contempt in their eyes. And when their eyes move to the distant sky, there will be a touch of excitement hidden in anticipation.
Compared with the ordinary city guards, this lord's guard belonging to the Grand Duke of Linton can already be said to be strong and powerful. However, the war horses they used were obviously not as good as the magic horses of the Demon Hunter Knights, no matter in size or ferocity, the difference was too far, too far.
If we also consider the equipment of rune weapons, then the gap between the Lord's Guard and the Demon Hunter Knights is so large that it is almost irreparable.
In this continent of knights, only those who have sworn allegiance to His Majesty the King and passed the examination of the Demon Hunter Knights may obtain standard weapons such as magic horses and rune weapons. And these are firmly controlled by the Central Kingdom, and it is difficult for the outside world to obtain them on a large scale. That's why the Demon Hunter Knights have become the most powerful knights in the Knights Continent.
Since all the witcher knights considered themselves knights subordinate to His Majesty the King, they did not recognize the leadership of the local nobles when stationing or performing missions in various places. As a result, every year, there are countless disputes between the local nobles' armed forces and the witcher knights because of the jurisdiction of the law.
This also led to armed conflicts between the local nobles' armed forces and the witcher knights often breaking out due to intensified conflicts, and it became normal for the two sides to hate each other!
The small amount of hostility revealed among the people below did not affect the handshake of the high-level executives of the two sides.
In the spacious and bright city hall, the long table used to hold the city meeting has been moved to the side of the hall, and at the moment it is filled with fragrant food and drinks. Exquisite stir-fried foie gras, steak topped with sauce, grilled golden lamb...
However, at this moment, no one is paying attention to these banquet delicacies, and everyone is anxiously waiting, waiting for the appearance of those big figures.
At the entrance of the hall, nearly a hundred guys wearing the standard armor of the lawbreaker knights stood straight in two rows, looking eagerly. And behind them, a dozen or so brilliant knights were also gathering together, talking in low voices.
According to the strength evaluation standard of the Wizard Continent, these glorious knights can be regarded as terrifying powerhouses whose strength has reached the second level. However, today, they are still not the protagonists, but just one of the anxiously waiting crowd.
As a Tier 2 professional in the group of Demon Hunter Knights, the Radiance Knight is of course much stronger than the Spellbreaker Knight. The law-breaker knight usually wears a full set of knight armor, which can cover most of his body under the hard armor.
Relying on the double resistance of the rune armor to both the physical and the magical, the defense of the Spellbreaker Knight has also reached an extremely astonishing level. In the few evil wars that broke out in the Knight Continent, the law-breaking knights often carried the magic attacks of the evil ones, rushed to them and chopped them down one by one.
Therefore, it is conceivable that their defense is so high!
Compared with the Spellbreaker Knight, the armor area of the Shining Knight has shrunk enormously.
The exquisite and gorgeous armor is no longer a bulky full-body armor, but a detachable armor part, which can only simply cover a few vital parts such as the chest, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and upper arms. In order to maintain the flexibility of fighting and the quickness of movement, the rest of the Radiance Knight's body is either covered by soft armor, or the alder nuts are simply exposed.
If the Spellbreaker Knight is simply weaponizing and armoring rune energy, then the Radiant Knight has already reached the point where it uses rune energy to strengthen its physical strength.
The few parts of the armor of the Glorious Knight are engraved with some mysterious patterns with unpredictable effects. Whenever they encounter enemies, they only need to activate these rune arrays to draw power from the rune energy, thus making themselves powerful rune knights.
The reason why they are called Radiant Knights is because once they introduce rune energy into their bodies, their entire bodies will emit a faint fluorescence like magic weapons. At that moment, they were already equivalent to a humanoid magic weapon.
A runaway magic sword also needs armor? No! At that time, they only need to attack, attack, and attack again...
The anxious crowd has been waiting from sunrise to now, but no one is slack or dissatisfied. Even the always calm and calm Grand Duke of Linton was pacing back and forth in the city hall at this moment, standing still from time to time and looking at the distant sky.
Obviously, the protagonist of today's welcome banquet is a big man with enough weight, so even he, the grand duke, can only look forward to it, silently enduring the torment of waiting!
Finally, while everyone was waiting anxiously, an alarm bell sounded crisply from the guard tower on the distant city wall.
Everyone couldn't help being shocked, and they set up awnings with their palms and looked towards the west.
coming!
It's really here!
Today is a fine day with a clear sky, and at some point in the distance, two tiny black spots appeared at the end of the sky.
It didn't take half a cup of hot tea for the two small black dots to become bigger and bigger.
In the distance, a loud and clear dragon's chant came faintly like rolling thunder, making everyone who heard it feel dizzy and trembling.
However, before they slowly tasted the origin of this inexplicable palpitation, two black dots had already descended on the sky above Hedulan City, showing their stalwart and majestic bodies in front of everyone.
These are two terrifying green dragons with a body length of more than 20 meters. If the spindle-shaped long tail with bony thorns is added to the long tail that is dragged behind them, I am afraid that the two green dragons will have a head and tail. Capable of reaching an astonishing thirty meters.
The crocodile-like jaws full of sharp fangs, the tall and sharp facial bone lines, and the emerald green fine dragon scales are layered on top of each other, perfecting every part of the body. The terrifying dragon claws beneath him were thick and powerful, and the sharp ends shone with a chilling light.
Common green dragons on the ordinary material plane have only one pair of wings, but the green dragon on this knight plane rarely has two pairs of wings. This will undoubtedly give them even more terrifying flying speeds!
When the green dragon's huge body hovered over the square, and its huge olive-colored dragon eyes looked down at the densely packed human heads, it couldn't help raising its neck again and let out a loud dragon chant that shook the world.
The billowing dragon majesty poured down!
The crowd in the square immediately rose up.
Many timid women, children and children screamed terribly, and the crowd became a little chaotic.
It seems that he has a different interest in creating chaos, and the depth of the green dragon's eyes glows with a strange light, obviously quite satisfied with his "masterpiece". And Jefferson, who was riding on the back of the green dragon, showed a dumbfounding expression.
As the only 3 dragon knights in Knight Continent, Jefferson once drove the green dragon Ysondre to visit countless human cities. Every time he sees a dense crowd, this nasty green dragon who has just grown up will play such a trick. From this point of view, it is not unreasonable for many ancient books to classify green dragons as evil dragons!
Jefferson reached out and patted the long neck of the green dragon, and made a gesture with Kalek on the other green dragon. The two green dragons swooped down at the same time, flapping their wide wings and landed in the center of the vacated square. .
When the giant dragon landed on the ground, the wings beat the air, and the strong wind was comparable to a small storm. The people who were closer were blown tottering, and the flowers in their hands and the gauze hats on their heads seemed to have grown wings. disappeared.
The dark crowd waited for so long just to see the majestic dragon. Now suddenly seeing that terrifying figure crouching on the square, as tall and mighty as a mountain of meat, everyone was so frightened that they held their breath and concentrated, not even daring to breathe.
The knights who had been waiting for a long time in the city hall, together with the nobles and nobles of Hedulan City, came out in a file, and greeted the arrival of the two great dragon knights with warm applause and hot eyes.
The scene was very lively for a while.
However, just as the two sides shook hands and talked happily, at the entrance of the long alley in the distance, a few cloaked men hidden in the crowd were also watching what happened in the square with hot and greedy eyes.
After welcoming everyone into the city hall, several cloaked people winked at each other and sneaked into an adjacent alley.
"Now not only the shining knights have appeared, but even the dragon knights have come. This information must be reported to Lady Mary as soon as possible!"
"Okay, I'll set off right away, and you guys will continue to watch here. Once the two dragon knights make any big moves, they must report it quickly..."
"Yes, I see..."
"Let's go quickly, be careful on the road..."
After a quick chat and discussion, a cloaked man sneaked out of Hedulan City taking advantage of the chaos in the city. It wasn't until he came to a deserted place that he turned into a vampire bat and soared into the sky amidst a sudden burst of black smoke, and quickly flew towards the city of Lanqiu, which was 400 miles away.
