43. Chapter 43
It's a sand ghost again!
This way, the scene was changed to a personal story, which made everyone in the hall think of the similar scenes they had encountered before. For a moment, they felt the cold air rushing up along the tailbone, almost frozen their hands and feet.
But this was only an extremely short moment!
The Wujin Iron Cavalry who stayed in the hall reacted in the shortest time, overcame the fear of stiff limbs, and jumped to pounce without hesitation.
But strangely, their desperate attack was not directed at the Sand Ghost, but more like they were trapped behind the Sand Ghost, breaking their way out of the hall, as if they were driving them to sweep towards the emperor.
While the sand ghost took off its disguise, Osvid glanced quickly above his head inadvertently.
When Theodore entered the hall, a white eagle he released happened to fly out of the hall. After calculation, there should be an echo now...
The young emperor pinched the paper roll in his hand into his palm, and threw it away without looking. He sat upright on the throne of the black gold throne with expressionless face. Instead, he raised his hand to untie the cloak of his left shoulder...
Anyone understands the principle of capturing the king first, even the sand ghosts born from unknown corners. "Theodore" and four guards, a total of five winds of sand and gravel swirls swept towards the people on the throne without hesitation, as if the others in the hall were not taken seriously by them at all.
It was almost time for him to say that when the sandy hand stretched out in the wind was about to climb up to the nine-stage steps in front of the throne, four slight "clicks" sounds came from the arched dome of the hall, as if some metal junction was opened at the same time.
Kevin's fingers on the short knife on his waist moved and pulled the short knife out of the metal scabbard.
The sand ghost was determined to pull Osvid off the throne, but he was crazy and didn't even hear anyone above his head urged anxiously: "Hurry up! Go in!"
Osvid's eyes moved and raised his hand to throw out the untied cloak.
The scarlet cloak suddenly unfolded in the air, covering the rushing sand ghost.
At the same time, I heard a faint roar on the dome of the hall: "Open the gate!"
Four huge water columns were sprayed down from the four corners of the dome, and shot straight towards the position of the throne with huge force. The scarlet cloak above was instantly soaked under the heavy blow of the four water columns, like a thick curtain, cutting off the assassination plan that was being started.
The five whirlwinds of sand and gravel gathered together were shining on their heads and their speed suddenly stopped.
Four water columns followed and hit the ball of sand and gravel.
Everyone knows that the reason why sand ghosts need to avoid the rainy season every year is because their only weakness is that they are afraid of water, because water will make them burdened and stagnant, which is the biggest obstacle to their activities.
Under the hindrance of water, the almost invincible sand ghost will become less frightening.
Although there are too many maneuvering factors on the battlefield and cannot make use of this at will, in Xuangong and on his own territory, this is really a good attack help!
Osvid seized the opportunity, drew out the emperor's sword, flashed from the throne the moment the water pillar was hit, stabbed into the cloak with a sword, and then rolled to the side, rushing Kevin and Ban aside.
The moment he was thrown away by the emperor, Kevin squinted his eyes and almost didn't need to aim, so he threw the short knife in his hand out vigorously.
He caught two slight "puff" sounds in the sound of the water that was irrigated, so he provoked half of the corner of his mouth and laughed briefly.
Very good, kill two birds with one stone.
A short knife penetrated two hearts.
The black and gold cavalry in the hall happened to be wrapped into a human wall. They pulled the long bow in their hands and shot arrows at the nest of sand ghosts covered by the cloak. Someone on the dome shouted: "The water is used up!"
As soon as Kevin got up from the ground, he was pushed hard by Osvid: "Go out! Ma Qi is waiting outside!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rapid horse hooves slammed at the entrance of the hall, and neighed sounds.
"Calend the arrows! Retreat to the cliff of the Hanging Palace!" Osvid shouted, and at the moment he went out, Sinia, who had been carrying the eunuch, came to Ichigo of the arms, and then, along with Kevin and the Iron Cavalry of the Wujin who had followed, got on a horse-like eagle. Everyone shook the reins and jumped out of the Hanging Palace in a flash.
This was before Theodore entered the hall. He and Kevin discussed it, and a white eagle was temporarily sent to the patrolman Peter - asking him to prepare both ways at the same time. One was to temporarily add water protection beside the four-corner skylight on the dome of the hall, just in case. The other was to ask him to notify the public and all the staff would evacuate urgently!
Although the five sand ghosts who disguised themselves as Theodore and his group came to raid were trapped in the hall, they were not afraid of it. But this was just a scattered soldier. Since they arrived, it means that the large army was not far away.
The sand ghosts are indebted. They think that such an attack will definitely succeed if it is unexpected, so they have not made too much preparations. The water attack can catch them off guard. But the large army will not be so easy to deal with. At that time, whether the water attack can succeed depends almost entirely on luck.
There is a saying on the battlefield that death and injury are inevitable. However, in the city, ordinary people are everywhere, and the elderly, weak, women and children are everywhere. It is impossible to take so many lives to bet on this kind of luck. Without being sure, you can naturally retreat.
Osvid and the people in the palace met Peter, the commander of the cavalry, on the cableway.
"How is the retreat in the city?" Osvid tied the reins and raised his horse's hooves high.
"It's basically transferred to the underground storage room." Peter spoke quickly, and almost turned his head when he arrived in front of Osvid: "I'll go back and scatter the patrol troops in all the doors and households to ensure safety."
After two sentences, the two of them ran in different directions again, almost without delaying a second.
There has almost never been such a scene on the Road to God. Almost all the major legions camps were dispatched. The dust from horse hooves splashed everywhere. Eight huge pillars of the Road to God were filled with smoke and thunder.
In the distance, where the naked eye can see the dark blue sky that had just begun to night has been dyed grayish yellow, which was the scene of sand and gravel in the sky being covered with strong wind.
The road to God was crowded with people, but the vast and chaotic were in order. Several armies assigned in advance set out according to different planned paths. Two long dragons flipped directly to the other end of the rift, one quickly covered the city's suburbs, and the rest stood on the edge of the giant pillars of the road to God, and looked down from the high cliff.
Osvid took the weapons handed over by the escorts and threw one of the daggers and a sword to Kevin.
Kevin raised his hand to catch the dagger and held it in his palm, threw the sword back, turned his head and waved to the direction of the remaining Bronze Army: "I still prefer bows and arrows."
He put the remaining quiver behind his shoulder, held the longbow and grabbed the horse's belly, and asked Osvid: "So what? How to remove it?"
Osvid pointed at the cliff beneath his feet and called out to everyone: "Jump!"
Kevin: “…”
"What's the thing?" He was stunned for a moment, and then he saw that Osvid had already leaped down with Sinia in his arms, stabbed the dagger into the stone wall in the air, and slipped all the way.
"Don't hesitate! Jump!" Osvid's roar came from his feet.
At the same time, Sinia screamed in a crazy way: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh--"
But it sounds like this little prince doesn't seem to be scared at all, it seems to be particularly exciting.
Kevin: “…”
"I'm holding you underneath! I can't die if I fall!" Osvid added.
This is what he said, as if he dared not jump.
Just kidding, Mr. Kevin Fassbender, who was once the God of Light, could easily reach the sky. This height is no problem at all. He was just shocked by this "suicide" retreat method.
The imagination of mortals is indeed endless...
Kevin was about to jump down when a heavy object suddenly hugged his leg.
He looked down and saw that this little bastard had broken a nerve. He turned back to the lion at this time, and only his head was barely in a human form: "Help, I can't borrow the power of the dagger!"
"So why do you want to find excitement and turn back into beast form? Look for a fight?" Kevin asked angrily.
The class twitched his paws and pointed to the moon that was about to be blocked in the sky: "I don't want to do it either!! But have you forgotten that it's already the end of June?!"
The week at the junction of June and July is called Bettany, which means "the carnival of wild beasts" in the ancient word. Because in the age of God, beasts were originally created in this week. During these seven days, all wild beasts were unbound and wild.
But this was not so beautiful for the later giant orcs. The bloodline of the giant orcs would be uncontrollably transformed back into beast form on this day and would not recover after a week.
The night fell a little deeper in the blink of an eye. After class explained this, even his face could not be maintained. Kevin stopped delaying and let the lion hold his legs and jumped down.
The dagger is thin and sharp, and the stone is cut like cutting tofu. Kevin slid down the straight stone pillar with the sound of metal and stone striking. A large number of horses and eagles also glided to the bottom of the Road to God and the depths of the Great Rift Valley with the buffering of the huge wings.
The narrow terrain of the Great Rift Valley made the wind at the bottom of the valley sound sharp whistles all year round, covering up the neighing and rumbling of the horses and the crowds. However, when everyone looked up, they saw that the sky above was gray and yellow. The extremely fast sand ghost probably had entered the city, and it would not take long to kill to the Xuan Palace.
Osvid turned over and drove a turbulent team to the bottom of the Great Rift Valley for a long time, circled around countless stone forests, and finally stopped in front of a mountain wall.
At first glance, this mountain wall seems to be nothing unusual, but if you carefully distinguish it, you can find that there are two slightly darker places on the mountain wall, embedded in it like two doors.
Without saying a word, he walked to the middle of the two doors and punched a raised stone on the ground.
I heard a loud "boom--" sound, and the two doors suddenly opened.
Osvid simply shook his hand and said, "Hurry! Go to the left!"
Everyone was well-trained and did not waste time asking more questions. They immediately rushed in with the reins and the horse eagle. The vast line was like a long black dragon, wandering and drilling into the hole.
"Quick!" Osvid looked up at the sky, and he could almost hear the sound of the whirlwind of gravel whistling down.
The whirlwind eyes looked clearer and clearer.
Osvid raised his foot and kicked the last few people's horses on the butt. The horse vulture was shocked and knocked the person in front of him directly in.
Before Ma Ji could enter the back of his body, Osvid punched him again, thrusting hard on the stone.
The two holes fell again in a loud noise.
