Looking at the suspicious dents on the cliff, Becky stared for a long time without saying a word.
"Those rock giants probably really split from the cliff," Yizaks frowned, feeling some mysterious power around him, "a very weak force is surging up from the depths of the ground, this mountain range is the An outlet for strength."
"There are four on the mountain road to the east, but there must be more stone giants splitting out. I don't know where the rest of them have gone." Vivienne's tone was a little nervous. The fact that the Golem army is about to rush out of the mountains reminds her of the mythical age on Earth, and she is sure it will be a disaster because she has witnessed many similar disasters, "Becky, who should report this kind of thing ?”
The current situation cannot be solved by personal combat power, so the first priority is to notify the "relevant departments" in this world, but Vivian doesn't know who can handle this kind of thing.
"The Glory Sect...or the Knights of the Kingdom," Becky had been in a daze since just now, and she woke up suddenly with cold sweat on her forehead, and said in a hurry, "Go down the mountain! Go and inform the Knights of Layton Town !"
Everyone didn't dare to waste any more time, and hurried down the road down the mountain. Hao Ren found that Becky was flustered, and realized that this kind of incident was unprecedented in the Dream Plane: "Have you never heard of stone giants in the Dragon's Back Mountains?" Becky stopped talking in the middle of her sentence. Go down, as a local native. The story of the goddess' destruction and human redemption is deeply rooted in her mind, and the mercenary business is precarious. She is also more or less superstitious, in her mind there is some kind of secret and ancient connection between the three things, the Beinz Blood Lake, the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, and the Orb of the Temple. These connections made her even more unable to bear the association of the current situation in a bad direction.
"Don't worry too much," Hao Ren comforted Betsy, "If the sky falls, there will be a tall one to hold it up. The big figures of the Church and the Knights will think of a way."
Becky glanced at Hao Ren gratefully: "Although I don't know where these strange words of yours come from, every time they sound reasonable, thank you."
Y'zaks, who was the tallest in the team, couldn't help shrinking his neck. Now even he felt that Hao Ren was really not very good at comforting people.
Descending the mountain was much faster than going up the mountain. In addition, everyone was hurrying on the road with all their strength. They finally left the range of the mountain range before the sun set and set foot on an ancient wide road, which led straight to Layton Town. "It seems to be a town-level defensive barrier." Becky saw the lavender glow, and she didn't know whether she was relieved or worried. "The town has activated its defenses. I'm afraid the stone giant has..."
Hao Ren got on his horse and said, "Stop talking, let's go!"
Everyone got on their horses and galloped away. Lily, the idiot, got more and more erroneous as she jumped up and down for a long time without getting on the horse. In the end, he had no choice but to give up on himself and let out a bark, carrying his horse and galloping all the way to keep up with the large army, so the crowd basically looked like this: Hao Ren, Vivienne and a few others who could ride horses ran ahead, Yiza Kex ran fiercely behind the team. Lily was carrying the horse at the end and ran through the flying sand and rocks. The formation of the group of people running was like a group of demons dancing wildly. If it wasn't really the wrong time, Hao Ren really wanted to stop and record Lily for half an hour. ! Might as well have let her run with Y'zaks in the first place!
After running all the way. The small town of Layton at the foot of the mountain finally appeared in front of everyone.
This is a town slightly smaller than Lumber Town, built on the mountain. Located in the middle of a canyon terrain, this valley is the key road to the Twisted Woodlands. It can be clearly seen that this town was built specifically to guard this main road. And above the town, a large lavender light curtain can be seen hanging down from the sky like a waterfall, just sealing the two ends of the valley.
On the open ground in front of the valley, there are traces of battle.
Explosion craters still emitting blue smoke can be seen everywhere on the originally flat triangular rocky beach. Broken swords and various equipment fragments that cannot be named are scattered everywhere. Many fragments can be seen within a few hundred meters before the entrance of the town. These stones are scattered on the ground in piles, and some of them are still trembling slightly. They should be the remains of rock giants.
It seems that a large-scale battle spell has been used here, and the strange magical energy still remains in the air. There are many small air masses or energy sparks floating half a meter above the ground. These are short-lived magical life. It is believed that these afterimages of magic are just ordinary energy reactions, far from being called "life", but those old-school mages, especially those from the Spire School, still call them "magic life" according to the custom handed down from ancient times.
The battle had just ended not long ago, and Hao Ren could still smell a lot of strange smells in the air, but it seemed that Layton Town had not suffered any damage from the stone giant's surprise attack. After all, this is an important town guarding the Blood Lake of Beinz, and there are elite troops stationed far beyond imagination. The lavender beam of light covering the entire valley is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
In front of the town, there are several half-arc bunkers built with boulders and steel. These were urgently molded by the field mages in the battle just now. Hao Ren and the others saw a dozen or so fully armed bunkers as soon as they ran to the bunkers. The heavy armored knights jumped out from behind, and one of the big men who didn't wear a helmet and looked stronger than the others roared imposingly: "Who is it?! Report your identity!"
Becky reined in the horse's head and dismounted lightly, before landing, she yelled: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's a human being, not a stone man!"
These town guards are actually a little nervous. The surreal fierce battle just now made them feel like they were in a state of panic. In addition, now that the sky is getting darker, a group of unidentified strangers running from the direction of the mountains suddenly made them a little too nervous. Betsy The guards breathed a sigh of relief after they made a sound, but the junior officer still pointed nervously at Hao Ren's back: "Who is that monster with all four feet in the sky over there?!"
Hao Ren was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to see Lily who was running towards her with her horse...
"You are the combination monster! Your whole family is the combination monster!" Lily put down the innocent pony that was almost scared out of her mind, and yelled angrily with her arms crossed.
"Oh, it turned out to be a werewolf, with great strength." The little officer squinted his eyes for a long time before putting down his weapon in embarrassment, "Sorry, I'm night blind."
Hao Ren: "..." Is it really okay for this kind of person to be the captain of the sentinel here
He didn't know that the big man in front of him was also on duty temporarily, and the real captain of the sentinel was still lying in the town's hospital right now.
Becky came to the captain of the sentinel: "We are a mercenary group. We just came from the mountain. We have something important to report to the Knights! Or the person in charge of the church is fine. In short, it is fine to be the biggest official in the town!"
As soon as the captain of the sentinel heard this, he guessed what happened to the group of people in front of him in the mountain, and quickly sent one of his men to rush to find the enchantment mage at the entrance of the town to open the passage, while looking nervously at the direction of the mountain: "Yes ... about the monster?"
Betsy nodded and didn't say much.
The protective barrier above the town is maintained by the small church in the center of the town. At this juncture, no one dares to close it casually. However, there are some temporarily arranged energy node devices on the periphery of the town. These devices can temporarily open some passages on the barrier for people to enter and exit. Soon Hao Ren and the others obtained permission to enter the town, and a man wearing a robe flew out of the town with a stern face: "I was ordered to take you in to see the parish Chief, it is an emergency and the whole town is under martial law, please don't leave my sight until the rector gives you full permission, I hope you can understand."
This was a very reasonable request. Hao Ren and the others nodded, and followed this serious man in black robes into Layton Town, which was already on a first-level alert.
