Letusus stood where he was...
The Imperial Grand Marshal was dressed in heavy armor of dark dragon teeth, and his scarlet cloak fluttered in the night wind.
Retusus' burly figure was more than half a head taller than the surrounding guards, and the faint coercion exuded by this living legend permeated the entire battlefield.
This is no ordinary battlefield. The dark red dry land extends to the end of the sky. The lava is rolling in the sky shrouded in dark clouds, as if it is pressing on people's heads, suffocating... A space rift nearly a hundred meters high stands behind Letusus. , as if the entire plane was torn out a tragic wound.
There are only more than a hundred fully armed Imperial knights around the Imperial Grand Marshal... more than a hundred fifth-order War King-level flying dragon knights. Next to each knight lies a fourth-level or fifth-level bipedal flying dragon with different attributes. Although these are all sub-dragons, when the knight and the flying dragon are perfectly integrated, the combat power they unleash is far from the ordinary battle king level. The strong are comparable. There are only a hundred knights, but they are also the strongest legion in the empire and even the entire continent.
There were not many corpses at Retusus' feet, but every corpse was astonishingly large and strong. Even the remains of corpses that fell to the ground were larger than ordinary large monsters. But these body parts do not belong to the giant family. The dark red skin, the membrane wings growing across the back and the ferocious twisted horns on the top of the head reveal the true identity of these corpses...
The demon clan, and it is also a sixth-order demon king level demon clan, is a big demon lord with a name left in the records of the Imperial Military Aircraft Department. This kind of demon often appears as the final boss in heroic epics. The strength is comparable to that of an adult dragon of ancient wisdom, a Titan in the Clouds, a great demon corpse that belongs to a wealthy family even in the boundless abyss of hell. There were eleven bodies placed at Retusus' feet, and further away, there were demon legions that were disintegrating and fleeing. Although the demons, who are naturally bloodthirsty and belligerent, often only die to end their madness once they enter a state of combat. "Retreat" is a move that rarely occurs among the demon legions. However, when the demons face a demon-god-level existence, At that time, he couldn't even muster the courage to start a war.
"Master Marshal. Do we want to give chase? This time, the Demon Gate appeared out of thin air so close to the imperial capital. I think there must be some reason. We should capture a few high-level demons who can communicate and torture them... Sir ? Lord Marshal?"
Retusus kept kicking the devil's head at his feet, which was as big as a house, Habikaliens... This was a vicious name that had been spread in the mainland for more than 3,700 years. The Imperial Military Aircraft Department and the Holy See Judgment Body The ancient demon king recorded in the relevant information on the previous pages is also the supreme leader of this demon invasion army. However, Retusus' attention was obviously not on the dead demon king. His eyes were looking straight ahead. There was no reaction at all to the suggestions of his subordinates. It was not until the gorgeous dragon-riding general with a face that seemed to be smiling forever that he forced his face directly in front of Retusus that the wandering imperial marshal noticed her presence.
"Huh? Ankana, why are you so close to me? Why, who made you so angry?" The voice coming from under the full-coverage helmet was cold and hoarse, with almost no fluctuations, as if it was emitted by a magic machine. .
Ankana, the leader of the Sea Dragon Knights, one of the strongest troops in the empire, sighed helplessly. She didn't know what happened to her legendary commander, but he seemed to be absent-minded even in tasks such as fighting against the demon army.
Ankana really can't imagine the empire today. There may even be emergencies on the entire continent that can make the Generalissimo lose his mind. If there is, it can only be the messy family affairs of the Generalissimo. The willful and dissolute matron's daily actions have long been It's not a secret. However, with the intuition unique to women, Ankana discovered that the generalissimo was far more troubled this time than before. Even the generalissimo himself had some strange changes that Ankana was very familiar with but could not remember.
After gathering his thoughts and listening to Ankana's report again, Letusus nodded silently. Ankana gave an order, and more than a hundred war king-level knights behind him immediately rode their flying dragons into the sky and charged towards the fleeing demon. The legion pursued them, but although the opponent had already put some distance between them, there was no army in the entire continent, or even in all known planes, that could surpass the Empire's strongest legion, the Flying Dragon Knights, in terms of maneuverability.
Ankana did not follow the army in pursuit. Instead, she leaned in front of Letusus and said softly: "Marshal, do you think the Devil's Gate appeared so close to the imperial capital this time without any warning? Is it related to the Holy See’s operation not long ago? If you hadn’t happened to be nearby this time, you would have blocked the demon army at the entrance before they entered the portal, and killed the great demon king Habikel as the leader of the army in one fell swoop. Enns's words, I'm afraid this demon invasion may turn into a huge crisis that threatens the survival of the imperial capital of Montenegro. If this happens again, I'm worried... "
"Don't worry. I can feel that the turbulence in the nearby space has gradually calmed down. The loopholes in the plane laws are being repaired on their own. A portal of this size should not appear again. Besides, the gathering of the demon army also takes time. , this demon army probably happened to be nearby, and after discovering the space rift, it planned to launch an invasion before even a decent character could arrive, so it came here in such a mess. This is just the surface of the hell abyss. There will be no troublesome demon-god-level beings."
"Marshal, we are in the abyss of hell now. How about... mobilize everyone to find the whereabouts of Miss Maria?"
"..." Leitu Thurston was silent for a while, then he took out a necklace pendant from somewhere, put it on the palm of his hand and looked at it silently: "No need... Maria's whereabouts... I already know..."
As Retusus' right-hand man, Ankana naturally recognized at a glance that it was the family emblem belonging to the Grand Marshal's eldest daughter, Miss Maria. This magical emblem from the master of magic can record the last information left by the owner, including the appearance of the enemy or benefactor, as well as the last wish left by the owner. Seeing this thing, Ankana instantly understood why the Imperial Marshal looked so worried.
"Miss Maria...she is...how did she die?" Letusus, the eldest daughter, is recognized as the one who is most like her "father". The eldest lady with an out-of-the-box personality has liked to hang out in the military camp since she was a child. , deeply loved and loved by the high-ranking generals around Retusus, there are even rumors that she will be the successor of the Imperial Grand Marshal and become the first female Imperial Marshal. And Ankana pampered and loved that cute and confident girl as her own sister. After seeing this emblem, she burst into tears and her voice suddenly choked up.
"Tell me! Marshal, who killed Miss Maria? Whether that guy is a devil, a lackey of the Holy See, or something else, I swear I will not let him go!"
Letusus clenched his fists and held the emblem in his palm, but remained silent. She did not answer Ankana's question, but the image of a slender and handsome young man appeared repeatedly in her mind.
***************************
"Didn't you just say that Mrs. Ysera is looking for me? Where is she now?"
Rhine did not answer Goron's question. He turned around and left with Chopper. It was not until he closed the door that he seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned to Goron and said: "Mother Ysera should be here at this time." If you haven’t come back yet, just wait here. As long as you don’t leave the castle gate, you can do whatever you want.”
The door slammed shut from the outside, leaving the little ogre stunned. Even Goron, who has only been out of the forest for more than two years, knows that this kind of hospitality is not included in human etiquette and customs. What does this mean? Idle game
Ogres never know what politeness is, not to mention that Gronn is also full of curiosity about this legendary dragon castle. Since Rhine said he could move around as he pleased, Goron wandered around the hall, bedroom, guest room, warehouse, kitchen... Goron checked one by one. It seemed that the doors here were not locked, even if they were Using his second divine power to see through the wall, Goron did not discover the existence of a dungeon or secret room. This dragon castle was as simple and desolate as his appearance.
Gronn always felt that something was wrong, and then he immediately discovered that there did not seem to be any magic mechanisms or traps in this castle. It’s not surprising that there are no magic traps. A castle that houses the strongest and seventh-level dragons in the empire needs the protection of magic traps. However, there are no magic mechanisms here, not even a magic crystal lamp. This is a bit unreasonable. . Even the common people in the imperial capital can always find a few simple and cheap magic props at home.
Gron continued to check, and finally found a locked room on the top floor. Gron was originally going to use his clairvoyant eyes to look inside the room, but suddenly felt a fatal threat. This intuitive warning came so suddenly and without warning. There was no reason, but Gron stood quietly in front of the door for a while, and finally decided to turn around and leave.
Not finding any clues related to the giant demon Rafana, Goron was slightly disappointed and finally returned to the castle hall. He simply sat on the indoor steps and stared at the castle gate in a daze with his chin raised. Gronn didn't know how long he had been sitting there. Just when he was drowsy, along with a series of rhythmless footsteps, the castle door was pushed open again, and this time it was a man wearing a robe who came in. A green-haired beauty in a gorgeous long dress who staggers when she walks.
She was smelling of alcohol, and her face looked like she was crying or laughing. She didn't notice Goron's existence until she reached the stairs. The green-haired beauty looked at Goron in shock for a while, and the next moment she pounced on Goron, hugged him tightly in her arms and cried loudly... (To be continued...)
