Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 205

"Your Highness, will anyone really come here?"

Under the starry night, a heavily armored female knight with neat short hair looked at the empty royal road, and said with a confused look: "Since the traitor has not appeared at the Rodel portal until now, he must be looking for a secret place. Now that they are hiding, even if they still want to run away, they won’t choose Decodas, who has the longest journey and the biggest target, right?”

"Normally you wouldn't ask this kind of question, Anacia," Lucia looked at her Storm Knight Commander, smiled slightly, and said, "What, are you tired?"

"How could it be?" Anasia rubbed the corners of her slightly astringent eyes and said harshly, "I just think that it is enough to send a team of knights to garrison in this most impossible direction. Why do you go out personally?"

Ten kilometers behind the two of them was the most important portal of the Golden Dynasty, the Decodas Elevator. The Yatan Avenue, which was dozens of meters wide, passed under their feet and led to Rodel, the royal capital in the center of the plateau.

This road can be called the central axis of the Golden Dynasty. It was also the route originally planned by Lucia when she first came to the royal capital three years ago. However, due to an accident in front of the big elevator, it was temporarily changed to fly over the entire Yatan Plateau. .

"It is indeed the most impossible path." Lucia took a deep breath, enjoying the coolness of the cold night air penetrating into her lungs, and exhaled slowly, "But, I have a feeling that he will choose this path. Intuition of the road.”

"According to common sense, Decodas is the farthest away from the Duran portal among all the escape directions, and Yatan Avenue is also the most conspicuous. But thinking about it from another direction, the big elevator is also the only military fortress that we cannot intervene in this pursuit. Once we arrive, There, he can really escape from our hands."

"But this is not the main reason -" he took a few steps forward, stood on a small mound beside the avenue, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, "I once told Beta's second-ranking priest Va Lenis, although I have never met the traitor, I have seen the core beneath his appearance."

"While Priest Lance was doing his best to eliminate the chaos in the court, he took the risk to rush to the royal capital and colluded with Beta; despite the high-pressure situation after our war with Beta, he took the risk to visit the Two-Finger Church and secretly contacted Valenis; he was killed by Chris After Toof found out, he did not run away, but tried to kill all the ancient dragon knights who witnessed him; and in the end, he even dared to launch an assassination attempt on Christopher under my eyes, hoping to kill everyone."

"The commonality of this series of actions since he went to the royal capital is that this person is not afraid of taking risks in military operations. Even when he clearly has more choices, he still prefers to take risks, and plots again and again with the smallest possible outcome. To gain the greatest benefit at the most unpredictable cost.”

"He is very arrogant," Lucia said with a cold smile. "He is so arrogant that he thinks everything is under control and can calculate things that ordinary people cannot calculate, so he naturally dares to do things that ordinary people dare not do - with such His skills and character are at least that of one of the high-ranking figures in the Presbyterian Church, maybe even a certain senator."

"So, I believe in him," he said. "I believe that our big shot will make the choice he should make."

At the same time, more than ten kilometers away, a fleet of light vehicles dressed as merchants was slowly approaching.

"Lord Ailan," a guard in a man's shorts jumped onto the carriage and knocked on the door, "We are only about [-] kilometers away from Decodas. Do you want to give the order to speed up and take advantage of Lucia's side? You haven’t reacted yet and rushed over as quickly as possible?”

In the carriage, Ailan, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, opened his eyes and said calmly: "No."

"According to the laws of the dynasty, caravans are allowed to circulate at night in the Yatan area, but convoys with more than 50 people are prohibited from entering various checkpoints and fortresses, the speed of the convoy is prohibited to exceed [-] yards, and the convoy guards are prohibited from wearing face-covering armor." "These three items are prohibited. The ban is all to prevent someone from sending a small number of elites pretending to be a caravan to raid the checkpoint. It has been strictly enforced since the Golden Dynasty established its capital in Rodel, and has never changed. We pretended to be a caravan and detoured this way, originally to deceive others. How can you expose yourself without seeing the enemy?"

Even in front of this group of personal guards who had followed Caeronissa for many years, he deliberately concealed the father-son relationship between the two.

On the other side, the personal guard looked solemn when he heard this, nodded and said: "I will teach you."

The convoy continued to drive towards Decodas at a leisurely pace, while Aylan closed his eyes again, quietly feeling the faint fluctuations of power coming from deep within his blood.

Now that his own strength has just crossed the threshold of a hero, he has already begun to have a glimpse of the skills of the ancient dragon clan's bloodline, physical power and divine power to operate in parallel. At this moment, he completely relaxed his mind according to the method mentioned by his father, and soon he truly felt the Taoist hidden power. The magical sigil at the bottom of the heart.

The lines carved in the talisman are extremely complicated and mysterious. With Ailan's prayer skills, it is impossible to distinguish the content. He can only barely feel that the talisman is seeping with traces of cold and pure divine power, pumping out from the heart, and then flowing through the whole body. The blood is integrated into one, and once activated, it will inevitably trigger the resonance of the entire bloodline, thereby stimulating power far beyond its own limits.

"I heard that the Dragon King's body among the five royal families of our dynasty can melt the power of blood and the power of the flesh into one furnace, and forge the power of qi and blood that is comparable to the power of the gods. Even if this power is not enough, , it must be not too far apart." Ailan said thoughtfully.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth mixed with sourness in his heart - although his father had never been able to give him a formal title, he had left him these life-saving secrets from the day he was born, and now it is even more important. He did not hesitate to put himself in danger to escape first. After all these things happened one by one, how could he abandon his father and escape alone?

With her mind agitated, Ailan felt that the power deep in her heart cheered for joy. Even the ancient dragon power flowing in her body became a little stronger. It seemed that it would break through the previous bottleneck at any time and push herself into a new realm.

"Cheer up and pay attention to the way back," he opened the car window an inch and ordered the guards outside. "If something happens on your side, sir, we will rush to your rescue immediately!"

A group of personal guards were about to respond, but suddenly they saw a young figure in white robes and silver armor standing hundreds of meters away. The opponent was holding a dragon scale knife, which reflected an icy clear under the moonlight. Hui.

Behind him, dozens of heavily armed Storm Knights surrounded both wings of the convoy. The leader was none other than Anacia, the Storm Knight Captain who Lucia personally promoted three years ago.

Sensing the changes in the outside world, Ailan suddenly pushed open the front door of the carriage and whispered: "Don't act rashly yet, the other party may not discover our identity-"

Just in the middle of speaking, I heard a chuckle from the figure in front of me and said: "I am lucky enough to meet people from my hometown in a foreign country. Why do you need to be secretive and pretend to be ugly?"

The moment the words came out, a stunning sword light flowed out like moonlight, and immediately chopped the carriage Ailan was riding into powder!
