The whip tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound, but when it struck a person's face, it only produced a dull thud.
Allen's head was also knocked to the side by the sudden, powerful blow.
His eyes were seeing stars, and hideous white marks rolled up on his dark brown skin before bright red blood gradually seeped out.
After that lash, perhaps because he had temporarily lost his hearing, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
The warm, moist blood obscured half of his vision. Through the crimson curtain, he finally raised his head and looked at the sworn master to whom he had pledged allegiance.
He never intended to be an enemy of Alai.
Although my face was burning with pain, it couldn't compare to the intense agony I was feeling.
"Get out of the way," the other party shouted coldly, raising his hard riding whip once more.
But Allen remained standing there, motionless.
As a follower of Kirhona and Dilis, he had long been prepared to be a martyr.
Moreover, there was nothing left in this world for him to cherish, and dying at the hands of Alejo today was a complete relief for him.
Seeing the other person covered in blood, Alejo felt his own heart quietly breaking.
It seems that something is becoming irreversible.
That lingering, unresolved, subtle emotion resurfaced, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. His azure eyes were colder than an icy lake, brimming with a surging killing intent.
The prince, seated high on his horse, tightened his lips, glanced indifferently at the beggar who was still smiling to himself, and uttered a few words in a chilling tone—
"You asked for it."
...
St. Lucy's Church was built in the early Second Dynasty and is the tallest building in Moonflower City.
If Yun Wei's guess is correct, this church was built to commemorate the priestess involved in the "Holy Night" incident. It is likely that after the establishment of the Radiant Church, she was posthumously honored as a saint, and the original memorial temple was converted into a cathedral.
The group hurried along, finally reaching the top of the tower, covered in dust.
The eclipse was nearing its end, and the sky was gradually brightening.
The horrific scene outside the city came into their view without warning. Everywhere they looked, they saw lives lost and the air thick with the smoke of battle.
Its appearance was terrifying, like a hellish inferno, far worse than the last zombie siege.
A faint clicking sound came from my side.
Yun Wei lowered his head, and he could clearly see that Isaac's fists were clenched tightly.
On the pale back of his hand, the light blue veins bulged menacingly, revealing the owner's emotions at that moment.
His knight, after all, was a descendant of the Temu Browne family.
Those who died innocently under the iron heel of the "Black Army" were not zombies or monsters, but flesh-and-blood citizens.
He suddenly remembered the first day Isaac brought him to Moonflower City.
The sun was shining so warmly that day, illuminating the knight's handsome face, and his gentle smile was so comforting.
Yun Wei then suddenly realized what was going on.
His knight loved this world deeply.
His knights bear the honor and responsibility of their family.
That was the resolve that enabled the other party to single-handedly defend the Red Moon Fortress eight hundred years ago, fighting the Lord of Chaos to the very last moment.
Compared to such a belief, Yun Wei felt as if he were an empty shell, pale and powerless.
He wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin.
Anything said in this context would seem contrived and superfluous.
But before he could speak, Joshua suddenly disappeared beside him.
Suddenly, a bright light shone from the very front of the wedge formation. The pure white holy light was so dazzling in the darkness that it attracted everyone's attention.
Yun Wei also looked in that direction.
But the necromancer had a broader perspective, and he noticed other unusual movements on the battlefield.
Behind the army formation, some giant machines were moving slowly. Compared to the ant-like soldiers next to them, the wooden weapons looked like building blocks.
"What are those wooden instruments?" He finally found a topic to talk about and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Ballistas, battering rams, and catapults are all siege weapons. Once the defensive array is completely destroyed, they can blast the city walls to pieces.” Isaac’s jaw was clearly taut, but he still answered his question faithfully.
If the city was already stained with blood before it fell, what would happen after it fell is self-evident.
Such a thing is perhaps the most common sight on the continent of Zhuyuan in the past eight hundred years.
Yun Wei remained silent.
There was really not much he could do when faced with his suffering lover beside him.
He looked at Isaac again, and said with utmost seriousness, "Go do what you want to do, Isaac. I will always stand behind you."
The silent knight didn't say much, but suddenly hugged him tightly.
During the brief embrace, Yun Wei's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Then, he watched helplessly as Issa leaped from the towering top of the tower into the war-torn world filled with blood and tears.
Yun Wei quickly leaned over the parapet wall, his eyes fixed on Isaac's receding figure.
With just a few leaps, the enemy easily scaled the city wall and charged towards the densely packed soldiers, towards the dazzling focal point.
"Yun Wei, cheer up." Just then, Richard spoke up, "Look over there, in the direction of the mage group."
The other party's tone was more solemn than ever before.
Yun Wei sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, "Over there? Hmm, I see it. They're still changing positions."
"Not only that." The silver dragon stretched out its long fingers, tracing the mages' formation through the void, its expression growing increasingly solemn and grave. "If I'm not mistaken, they're preparing to unleash a forbidden spell."
"You humans, your ruthlessness towards your own kind is truly astonishing even to the dragon race."
Let the savagery buried deep in his instincts begin to stir.
Yun Wei was immediately stunned. He thought he had misheard.
Forbidden spell?
Here, in Moonflower City?
“Stop daydreaming, Your Majesty. Think of something quickly.” Richard smirked. “Once they start their prelude, I’ll have no choice but to take both of you and run for your lives.”
Yun Wei: "..."
He knew Richard was deliberately changing the subject, but the way he addressed him was just...
Too terrifying.
It gave him goosebumps all over.
But it was precisely because of this that he was able to calm down in time from the chaos.
He quickly estimated the distance between himself and the mage group.
If I fly there now, I should still make it in time.
Yun Wei said to the two of them, "Leave it to me, I'll go stop them."
Richard couldn't help but remind him, "Don't be too merciful; this is a battlefield. Sometimes, violence is necessary to combat violence."
"I know what I'm doing." Yun Wei cast a levitation spell on himself, and as he flew off the ground, he said to the two of them, "Do you have anything to do? Go and dismantle the siege equipment, or stop those pointless sacrifices on the wall."
Richard clicked his tongue in amusement as he watched the necromancer wobbling through the air.
He looked at the swordsman beside him and suggested first, "I can run faster, let's go to a distance and dismantle the wood!"
His silvery pupils had turned into thin slits.
Based on Xie Mulang's understanding of Prince Silver Dragon, the other party was clearly in a playful mood.
"Okay, then be careful." Xie Mulang touched his nose, ultimately unable to bear exposing the other person's lie. "I'll go to the city wall myself."
