Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 268: Chaos Falling from the Sky (5,000-word chapter request)

Views:

Viola Aeolus, a young female elf born and raised in the Babel Province, is a doctor by profession. Now she is paralyzed at home, enjoying the rare vacation brought by the carnival.

"The mother tree is up here, even if the end of the world comes, don't try to pull me out..."

Covering her delicate face with the quilt, leaving only her long green hair hanging on the pillow, the young female doctor let out a comfortable moan: "Oh my God, my bed, and the quilt, what in the world are you doing?" There could be such a perfect invention!”

As she spoke, she wrapped the quilt around her body, wrapped herself into a cylinder, and then rolled back and forth happily on the bed several times.

Ninety-eight percent of the people of the Gulf Federation are elves of various kinds. Among them, green-haired forest elves and silver-haired underground elves account for 60%, while others with red hair, green hair, black hair, etc. Various types of elves account for 38%, and the remaining 2% are various strange hybrid half-elves. They have the blood of other races in their bodies, but now there is no evidence of the existence of those races. This It's one of the great mysteries of biology.

"Our ancestors must have lived with many intelligent beings from other races, which can be seen from the many foreign elements in our culture..." This argument has a considerable market in the academic world.

Viola was so tired because she participated in a seminar on bloodline research a few days ago. Today is a rare holiday. In order to ensure the quality of her rest, the young doctor started the silent method at home. After a while, he tossed around on the bed to his heart's content, then took his own comfortable quilt and fell asleep deeply.

Naturally, she couldn't hear the emergency announcements repeated over and over again in the city.

"There are still fifteen minutes until the Volcano Dragon arrives. Please leave the remaining people as soon as possible with the help of the federal army. Repeat, the distance is..."

Announcements were made over and over again throughout the process, and the vast majority of the people had already arrived at temporary shelters or fortresses outside the city under the protection of the army. Of course, there were a few die-hards who did not believe this, and even There are also villains and hooligans among the elves. They took advantage of this unoccupied opportunity to steal. Although it didn't take long for them to be discovered by almost countless absent patrol officers and arrested, some of them were still in the city.

Guys like Viola who were still sleeping soundly were naturally among the people who stayed.

There are still ten minutes left in the announcement, and a considerable number of people on the streets have not yet completed their evacuation. After all, this is a big city with a population of one million, and two hours is really too short. On the streets, some troops have already retreated with the people. Fully armored troops began to move in.

With the help of magic items, the army temporarily built many forts on the streets. Armored vehicles also drove into the city. The heavy tracks crushed obvious traces on the beautiful paths. The magic engine was running, moving the crystals. The power in it is extracted and turned into a powerful driving force.

five minutes.

We can already see the smoke pillars rising in the distance, and various animals with keen senses - such as the elves' animal companions, mice and various birds walking back and forth restlessly, and even rushing out of their nests. This scene is indeed Many diehards were frightened. Looking at the smoke and dust reaching into the sky, they quickly prepared to escape, but by this time, it was already too late.

zero.

The federal army was almost ready, but at this moment, a column of smoke came from afar, advanced rapidly, and arrived outside the city.

boom!

The sound of huge footsteps shook the earth, and the being in the dust and mist slowed down, and a huge figure emerged from the smoke.

The black carapace wrapped around the body of the fire element armor. Ryoma looked up at the city without walls and murmured curiously.

It sensed that there were a lot of life forms here, so it came here to find its way. Anyway, when you get lost, you must go to a crowded place. The owner seems to have said this

But when Ling Hei was a little strange, most people were leaving the city, which made Ryoma a little confused and confused about the situation.

Because almost everyone in Moldavia knew the lord's mount, no one was afraid of it. This led to the dragon and horse having no idea that the other party's withdrawal was because of him.

"The target has reached the outskirts of the city!"

In the temporary headquarters set up in the city, various information is transferred here, and most of the instructions are issued here. A person who looks like a commander is facing the communication array, assigning tasks to all the troops in the city: "Listen, your mission is not to fight this monster, but to use the buildings and fortresses in the city to slow down the opponent's progress as much as possible and ensure the safety of the people!"

But an exclamation interrupted him.

"The target has slowed down, it's... observing? It's walking around the city, observing our buildings!"

A correspondent looked at the scene displayed on the light screen in shock - amidst the huge vibration, a huge dragon-shaped beast was walking around the city like a stroll, its golden pupils full of curiosity.

"Could it be said that the target really has intelligence?"

"Judging from the current actions, the possibility is very high!"

Not to mention the command room, in the Federal Technology Department, researchers who are observing in real time have started a heated discussion. As a brand new species, the volcanic dragon has some characteristics of the [dragon] in elven myths and legends. This point alone It is attractive enough, not to mention that it may also have intelligence and be able to communicate.

Of course Hei didn't know that so many people were observing it at this time and analyzing every meaning in its actions, but in fact, it was just looking for a path.

After looking around for a while, it finally found a road. Ryoma nodded humanely, then quickly walked over and entered the city.

Because its body is too big, Joshua would warn it every time it entered the city, telling it not to walk casually on the trails, so as not to collapse the house. However, in this strange place, Hei still maintained this good attitude. Habit.

The avenues of the elven city are not made of hard rock, but some kind of softer, asphalt-like clay bricks. It has certain water-proof and anti-freezing capabilities. The most important thing is that it is far lighter and cheaper than stone bricks. Because of this, armored vehicles driving into the city will leave track marks on the road, and Hei's weight is far greater than that of the armored vehicle. Every step it takes will leave footprints on the street and make a rumble.

In order not to damage the surrounding buildings, Ryoma took the initiative to remove the fire element shield that was originally supported around him. This move shocked the senior officials of the federal army who had originally planned to order the attack. They immediately stopped the troops in the city who were preparing to attack and fell into wait and see. state.

"The target's intelligence is obviously very high. It will even choose to take the high road in order not to damage the building, and actively remove the fire element shield in order not to affect the surrounding environment."

A researcher rubbed his forehead and said in confusion: "But why? How does it know what our building is? It didn't stop when it passed through hills and forests before."

"The target has definitely seen artifacts and was taught some common sense!"

Another biologist said aggressively, and he seemed very sure: "The target's action pattern is very similar to that of a domesticated pet or mount. You see, although it is very curious about the style of the surrounding buildings, in order not to destroy the surrounding buildings, I still haven’t walked onto the trail to look around! Most wild beasts don’t have this idea, and even domestic cats don’t have this kind of self-control.”

And just when the atmosphere of the discussion was getting more and more heated, a cold male voice came from the communication array, it was the Minister of Military Affairs.

"I don't care about this at all. Everyone, you are the smartest people in the alliance. Who can tell me now, can we negotiate with this monster... giant beast? Since it is intelligent, can we let it leave us? The city should be further away? So as not to cause us to suffer losses in vain.”

"…We can try it a little bit."

Viola, who was still in bed, felt a huge shock.

She felt that her cabin was shaking, like an earthquake, and she woke up from her sleep painfully. The female doctor opened her eyes, sat up in a daze, stretched out, and said to herself impatiently. Said to himself: "A celebration is just a celebration, why not make such a big move..."

boom!

A dragon claw wrapped in a black carapace was slapped outside the window of Viola's cabin, and the young green-haired elf who was stretching looked at this scene with a confused expression. She watched in stunned silence as the huge dragon claw was lowered and raised. Then the other dragon claw was lowered and raised, and with the roar of the Earthquake Office, it passed outside her window.

After a while, the vibrating sound also faded away.

“…”

Rubbing her eyes fiercely, Viola felt a chill rising from her spine and then rushing into her brain. The fully awake female elf immediately wrapped herself in the quilt and rolled on the edge of the bed.

Faintly, a dull voice could be heard: "It's all a dream! You can't fool me! It's all a dream!"

Hei was still walking slowly in the city. He noticed that the style of this city was completely different from the city he often went to. The city here was softer and more graceful. It looked very beautiful, much like a beautiful piece of art. The city was full of Fountains, gardens, and various small landscapes and statues need to be walked very carefully in order not to damage these delicate and small things.

And at this moment, it suddenly discovered that there were many lives on the street not far away, and they did not leave.

Ryoma simply changed direction and walked towards there.

On the side street, countless magic vehicles were blocked on the road, and it took a long time to move.

There was a car accident on the road ahead. Although the federal army was dealing with it urgently, the road was blocked by the damage caused by the explosion and abandoned vehicles. All the people who were planning to evacuate were anxious, but they could only slow down little by little. Drive slowly.

"Oh my God! That monster is already here!"

A scream came from a car that noticed Ryoma's huge figure. The people in the surrounding cars naturally noticed this, and panicked shouts immediately began to spread. Many people simply abandoned the car and ran away. .

A couple were sitting in the car with their children. The father was honking the horn impatiently, while the mother was holding her six or seven-year-old son and looking around in panic.

But when the screams came, they also discovered the huge black shadow that was approaching. Immediately, the instinctive fear made the two of them tremble. Like everyone else, they immediately abandoned the car and ran away, with their father carrying all the luggage. , while the mother holds her son.

But it was too late. Although Ryoma's pace was slow, it was still a giant beast more than ten meters tall. One step it took was equivalent to the speed of an ordinary person running at all costs, not to mention that the street was blocked by many magic cars, so it couldn't run at all. How fast.

Because she was too nervous, her mother accidentally fell. Upon seeing this, her father immediately threw away his luggage and came back to help his wife and children. But at this time, a black shadow enveloped their location, and they trembled. When they raised their heads, what they saw was a pair of huge golden dragon eyes that were slowly approaching.

—Are we going to die here today

Fear came from deep in their hearts. They held their children and hugged each other desperately, waiting for death to come. But suddenly, the couple noticed that their child had broken away from their hands. A man stepped forward and curiously spoke to him. The giant beasts stared at each other.

Strangely enough, this black-haired elf boy was not afraid of Ryoma. He just opened his emerald green eyes and looked at him very curiously.

"It's so big... There is such a big horse... It's very handsome and different from ordinary horses."

He murmured to himself: "Why are parents so scared? It doesn't mean any harm." Thinking of this, the boy even raised his hand and waved to Ryoma.

And Hei also opened his eyes wide, looking at the little boy in front of him.

For some reason, everyone would scream and run away inexplicably after seeing him. Since he had been interacting with the people of Moldavia, Hei could never imagine that the other party was afraid of him, which made Hei who wanted to ask for directions Ryoma was very sorry.

But now, there are actually more than a dozen people who didn't run away after seeing him, but stayed behind - of course Hei couldn't tell a few of them because their legs were too scared to run away - and there were three people who were actually so far away from him. Recently, there was even a child waving to it and saying hello.

This is great, finally meeting a normal person.

Seeing the black hair and emerald green eyes, Hei immediately remembered the two people who had been taking care of it before its bloodline awakened. The scene of Rin and Ying combing and cleaning it passed by in front of its eyes, making this giant beast His eyes became softer.

It hummed low as if to say hello.

At this time, the eyes of the senior military officials in the headquarters and research institutes, as well as various researchers, were about to burst out.

"What?!"

"This is impossible!"

"The mother tree is up here, this..."

Through the magic detection equipment just installed in the city, they saw with their own eyes the scene of the interaction between Hei and the elf boy, which made everyone feel incredible and unbelievable.

"The target... is unusually close to humans!"

"The target's intelligence is close to that of humans!"

"Is it even planning to initiate communication?"

"It's actually... not that kind of ferocious beast?"

The Minister of Military Affairs was also watching this scene. He suddenly began to feel lucky that the previous interception mission had not been successful: "Okay... great, it was so close that it didn't succeed..."

For a moment, he couldn't say anything more: "It would be nice if we could not confront this terrible creature... It would be nice to have the possibility of peaceful negotiation..."

After being silent for a while, most of the researchers began to discuss with each other crazily, because it was initially determined that this giant beast had no ill intentions towards the elves. They needed to make follow-up responses as soon as possible. How to negotiate with the other party was the next step. The top priority for action.

In the airship's office, the commander-in-chief and Director Laura were watching this scene together. The two of them also had their eyes wide open and their faces were full of shock.

"... A creature that can cause volcanic eruptions is actually so... kind?"

He saw with his own eyes that the other party let out an angry groan, causing the fire elements within hundreds of meters around him to go berserk. The red-haired elf who caused the violent explosion rubbed his forehead tiredly. He raised his head, looked at the ceiling and laughed at himself: "It's really thousands of times. Unexpectedly... the world is so amazing."

On the side, Laura shook her head and said seriously: "Although the Volcano Dragon has the ability to detonate volcanoes, it cannot be proven that it detonated the volcano. The information left by the investigation team shows that they only saw this dragon perching on the volcano. Deep in the volcano, it seems to be sleeping—perhaps the volcanic eruption awakened the dragon?"

Although this was not the case, he was close to the truth - because the Sigma Volcano was on the verge of erupting, the extremely dense elements caused the distortion of the space-time gate... and Hei, who was originally sleeping, was inexplicably teleported to the vicinity of the volcano.

Now, Hei was having fun with the little elf boy. It simply bent its legs and leaned down, letting the brave-or heartless little boy climb onto its dragon claws while he watched gently. Looking at each other.

"It's so big...and your paws are also very hot!"

Ignoring the panicked shouts of his parents, the little boy happily sat on Hei's paws, but he found strangely that his new friend did not respond with a low cry like before.

The body vibrated slightly, and the dragon horse raised its head and looked to the sky. Because of its gaze, all the detection arrays also turned over and looked to the sky.

And time seems to have stopped here—

A little light was falling from the distant sky, and a red light suddenly appeared in the blue sky. The faces of the senior military officials, researchers, commanders, and others who were observing the light curtain all changed in unison. Array, you can clearly see that the sky turns purple due to the fire, and behind the fire, there seems to be a huge array composed of ten huge haloes. The diameter of each halo requires ten Calculated in 10,000 meters, this is still too far away to estimate the data in detail.

"Those alien monsters—"

The commander was the first to react. He slammed the table angrily, causing the light curtain to tremble: "This place actually appeared at this time!"

"Don't they only land in no-man's land and never attack cities directly?"

The light wheel rotates slowly. Every time it rotates, it sweeps across a large area of the sky. The red light is getting bigger and bigger. Now it can be seen clearly that they are strange and huge meteorites. They come from outside the sky and are about to come. this world.

He gently put down the boy on his claws and stood up. He looked seriously at the sky, his eyes gradually filled with terrifying majesty.

Ryoma, who has been washed away by Joshua's power of order many times and fought with him against the black tide of chaos, can be 100% sure.

That is the breath of chaos.

Humans in this book specifically refer to their own race. In the language of elves, human beings are other words, just as in the language of dwarves, dwarves are human beings, and elves and people are other words.

I originally finished writing this morning, then I added a little more, and had a meal, and finally I filled up 5,000 words and sent them out together... It was a little late.

Please give me a monthly ticket!
