Chapter 989 The Dance of the Female Snake and the Necromancer (Update 4 with Ten Thousand Rewards)
Deputy Governor Alfonso fled for his life.
He dismissed the guards, taking only a few core and highest-ranking knights with him;
He took off his red velvet cloak, threw it on the ground, and was immediately trampled without a trace;
Steel armor, this... Even if he wanted to take it off, he couldn't take it off quickly on the bumpy horseback. This thing, whether it is putting on or taking off, requires two attendants to work on it for at least half an hour. The kind that can be put on and taken off automatically?
Yes, but the magic that comes with it cannot be achieved without ten or twenty thousand gold coins. What could he not do if he had ten to twenty thousand gold coins? Even if you raise attendants, you can raise ten or eight, and they will be replaced every few years!
But now it's troublesome. Deputy Governor Alfonso looked left, right, forward, and behind, but couldn't see any time to stop and take off his armor. Feathers fluttered in the sky, and spears and stones rained down.
Not only that, the explosions, big and small, kept ringing out, causing people to panic——
Damn heretic!
They came out of nowhere!
Fortunately, two of the knights he brought were trained by his family since childhood and were loyal enough to him. Lieutenant Governor Alfonso was lying on his horse. When he turned a corner, a cloak was thrown over him——
"Put it on!"
The gray-brown wool cloak, which was very unremarkable in color and style, almost saved his life at this time. Deputy Governor Alfonso was filled with gratitude and quickly covered his armor with a cloak and pulled up his hood:
"Gonzalo! Thank you!"
Before he finished speaking, there was another explosion in front of him. Deputy Governor Alfonso raised his head following the sound, and his face instantly turned pale:
"Mountain! Landslide!"
The mountain didn't just collapse. The entire top of the mountain folded, rumbling, rolling and falling down, like a giant snake rolling in mud and dust. Below the giant snake, there were endless screams and screams.
"Run!"
"Run!"
"Left! Left! Left!"
"No, there's no way! Right!"
"There's a cave here—"
At the landslide, Archmage Mansfield appeared leisurely and lightly dusted his robe. The Archmage looked down at the crowds rushing down the mountain and sighed sincerely:
"It's really easy for a magician to do a job like blocking a road——"
Without him using magic, the airship flew around in a circle, scanning the terrain and choosing the most suitable locations;
The low-level ones—low-level ones, they are also fifteenth-level mages, and tenth-level or above high mages—fly around the mountain, find the weakest point, and fill it with magic explosives;
When the time is right, with an order, the explosives will detonate one after another. Where there is not enough, the magicians add more force, and rocks roll down, blocking the way——
What's more important is that such a roar and such a large scale of rocks are naturally shocking and powerful. Rocks were rolling everywhere, and the pirates and indigenous soldiers below were suddenly divided into more than a dozen parts, each paying no attention to the other!
The white eagle warriors who could fly, as well as the black hawk warriors who had been ambushed in advance, and the low-level warriors of the Eagle Kingdom, brandished spears and stone hammers, shouted, charged down from the hillside, and charged into the crowd... …
Deputy Governor Alfonso fled. Gonzalo and Sandoval, two knights he brought from his family, one on the left and one on the right, protected him closely. Break through the panicking warriors, break through the scurrying pirates, break through the crying natives——
Winding and turning, all the way to the coast. The fifteenth-level Sky Knight and the fourteenth-level Great Knight were like sharp knives, smoothly piercing through the crowd even in such a chaotic scene. Turned a corner, turned another corner, boom! ! !
A stalagmite rises from the ground. Deputy Governor Alfonso's reaction was not slow and he jumped away with all his strength, but the horse under him neighed and was impaled on a stone pillar.
A quick glance in the midst of a busy schedule saw a beautiful female magician in a fluttering dress flying in the air in the distance, reaching out and pointing towards them——
Lightless, colorless, soundless. But Deputy Governor Alfonso felt a loud bang on his head and felt dizzy. With a backhand swipe, blood flowed from the corners of the eyes, nostrils, and ears!
"It's the archmage of the sonic system!" Knight Gonzalo grabbed him, held him at his waist, and quickly jumped out to the side. Knight Sandoval shouted and jumped up. The sword swung out an arc of light several feet long, heading straight for the female magician.
"well……"
Youyou sighed. The arc of light fell, and the female magician's figure disappeared like a dreamy bubble. Immediately afterwards, a faint sound of strings came from another direction:
"Buzz——"
The sound was very soft, very low, unfocused, and almost completely inaudible. But Knight Sandoval seemed to have been hit by a giant hammer, his whole body was shaken, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and smashed his head into the dust.
The next moment, what filled his field of vision were three golden eagle warriors wielding golden scimitars, and behind them, densely packed white eagle warriors marching forward in formation.
Mage Isabel stood in the dense canopy, looking down at the battle below, and sighed quietly. She wiped the duxianqin in her hand lovingly and took back the space bag:
"Why... do some people think that a magician will stand where you can see him? Which magician fights with people and doesn't throw seventeen or eight phantoms outside and hide himself tightly?"
Knight Gonzalo took his governor and fled. Jump up, fall down, jump up, fall again.
The flexible branches hit the Governor's face and hands, leaving red marks one by one. From time to time, various poisonous insects fell down, and the burrs rubbed against the skin, causing itchiness, swelling and pain. Deputy Governor Alfonso gritted his teeth and did not dare to scream——
I don’t know how many people are chasing you!
I don't know how many golden eagle warriors and white eagle warriors were hovering in the air, waiting to catch him!
The route Gonzalo took him was already the safest. Without the cover of these jungles, he would be caught if he couldn't run even a few miles away!
Running, running, there was another roar ahead. The tree trunks were broken, the branches and leaves were flaring, and the heat wave was raging. Gonzalo held him with his left arm, swung his sword with his right hand, barely managed to deflect a wave of attacks, turned to the side, and charged with all his strength——
My eyes were black, my feet were empty, and I was falling, falling, falling endlessly.
They fell into a huge, deep cave.
"What the hell!"
Knight Gonzalo cursed loudly. He carried his deputy governor and struggled up, trying to break out of the cave. Just kidding, if you are not familiar with this place, you can break into a cave in the middle of a mountain casually?
How big is this kind of cave? How many floors are there? There are several caves within caves. Which one is bigger and which one is smaller?
What wild beasts are there in the cave? What poisonous snakes and insects are there? What kind of monsters are there? Are there any high-level monsters nesting here?
Is there a way out of the cave? Where does it lead? Can it lead to the seaside, or will it lead to the center of the enemy? Is it through land or through underground rivers?
After getting involved in the underground river, will he be directly sucked into an unknown place?
Knight Gonzalo was completely unsure. At this moment, the only way he could think of to survive was to retrace his steps and rush into the sky - with the sun above his head he could still tell the direction, but without the sun, it would be over!
As a Sky Knight, he originally remembered clearly, turning around, flying diagonally upwards, and flying straight. At most 20 meters, it will definitely fly under the sky. But flying, flying, flying ten meters after another...
It was still dark in front of him. The sound of the wind rustled, and I retreated backwards. Countless stalactites and stalagmites were showing their teeth and claws in the darkness. Knight Gonzalo made two emergency changes in direction, broke into a cold sweat, and finally decided that he could not go on like this.
"Hold tight!" He threw Deputy Governor Alfonso back and asked him to use his hands and feet to hug his neck and lower back. He half-knelt in the air, held the sword in both hands, straightened up, and prayed in a low voice:
"My Lord, I praise you, I sing your praises, and I praise you. Please use your words to be a walking light in our hearts and a lamp for our feet to lead us forward and let us walk the path that pleases you... …”
Deputy Governor Alfonso was covered in cold sweat and panting unsteadily, and he also murmured a prayer along with the knight. Amidst the prayers, white light gradually emitted from the sword blade, the armor, and the knight's hands and face, illuminating the surrounding scene——
Only then did they see that a black mist was surrounding them, misty and gently stirring. In the black mist, there were vague and intricate threads, as if countless snakes were hesitating and trying to swim in silently.
Fortunately, the white light was bright and tried hard to keep the black fog out. Knight Gonzalo prayed a few more words, shouted loudly, and waved his sword around him. Just hearing a cry of surprise, the black mist retreated outward like boiling water and snow, and a ray of skylight fell outside.
"oops!"
A clear female voice whispered. Knight Gonzalo followed the sound and saw three thin figures standing in the darkness, with only thousands of phosphorescent lights around them indicating their existence. Seeing the black fog dissipating, the three of them each took a step forward and prayed loudly——
Knight Gonzalo had never heard of the language of prayer, and could only guess that it might be the language of the Eagle Country. Amid the sound of prayer, there was a rustling sound everywhere, and a phosphorescent light surged forward. Knight Gonzalo glanced at him with horror:
snake!
Viper!
Countless venomous snakes!
Long and short, black, brown, green, and red, some coiled up in a snake formation, some crawled forward, some intertwined into a ball... they were swarming forward like ocean waves.
Some had gleaming scales, while some had half of their backs still illusory, spitting out snake letters, baring their fangs, and expanding their necks, surrounding them tightly from all directions.
Even on the stone pillars and ceiling, there are venomous snakes circling and hanging down everywhere.
"Female snake..."
He grunted through gritted teeth. No wonder the doctrine says that snakes are devils, the devils that tempt humans to fall, and are the original devils... These female snakes should be killed!
However, with his own strength, he probably wouldn't be able to kill him cleanly - even if he could kill him cleanly, he wouldn't be sure he could protect the governor from being bitten by a snake.
Knight Gonzalo took a deep breath and stamped his feet. A large piece of the ground collapsed with a crash, and he took advantage of the force of the rebound to rise up like a cannonball——
"boom!"
"Wow--"
"ah--"
Screams, cries of pain, darkness. When Knight Gonzalo came back to his senses, he found that he was standing in a huge cage, criss-crossed with pale human bones.
At some point, Deputy Governor Alfonso fell off him and landed among a group of poisonous snakes.
He tried his best to lean against a stone pillar, swung his protective sword, and wanted to cut off the poisonous snakes around him, but he did not notice that a poisonous snake had already hung from his head——
"Prison of Bones." On the other side, there was a sinister voice, speaking softly in a language that Knight Gonzalo could understand:
"Dear Chihuakotto, the rest of the matter will be left to you."
