Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 208 Heroic Soul
At two o'clock at night, Rodel's portal.

Compared with the Decodas Elevator, which has more military significance, this large space portal closest to the royal capital still gathered a large number of caravans waiting to pass through at midnight, including large and well-dressed merchants under noble families. There are also many traders and pawns who started out as civilians. The long convoy is like a colorful python, stretching to more than ten miles away from the fortress.

Normally, no matter how large the queue is, this group of merchants who are familiar with the laws of the dynasty will consciously maintain a relatively strict order. After all, once there is chaos such as queue jumping, quarrels, and hooting, Knight Rodel of the Portal Fortress will All those involved will be expelled without mercy.

However, all these past practices have lost their effectiveness at this moment. From the caravan guys lining up in front of the door to the dynasty troops stationed in the fortress, everyone fell into a huge panic——

A sudden dragon war broke out in the direction of Decodas. The ancient dragon priest Fulsanks led the crowd into the sky, followed by the terrifying thunder that seemed to tear the entire sky apart. Although the ancient dragon war has ended for 13 years, But there are still many witnesses of that war in the caravan.

This situation almost makes people mistakenly believe that the Second Battle of Nagarjuna is about to break out before their eyes. The terrifying shadow under the wings of the ancient dragon that once obscured the light of the golden tree has once again shrouded the hearts of the golden people.

"Quiet!" In the panic, an officer standing in the center of the fortress wall suddenly hit his shield with his long sword and shouted.

Seeing that the noisy crowd was temporarily suppressed, the officer slammed the big shield in his hand on the ground, raised two hard sword eyebrows and said: "I am the fortress garrison commander Neidhart, and I am also the highest-ranking one here. General of the dynasty, all personnel now obey my orders——"

"Everyone keep quiet, go to the bottom of the fortress in order to receive routine inspections from the priests of the Ancient Dragon Temple, and then pass through the portal as quickly as possible. No one is allowed to stay in the fortress for more than 15 minutes from now on!"

The crowd was intimidated by its momentum and subconsciously followed the instructions and moved forward, while a small number of temple personnel left behind by Fulsanks stepped forward to check the identities of the caravan members one by one to prevent the group of traitors from being mixed among them.

But by this time, even this group of priests and knights, who had always been famous for their strictness under Lucia's training, had mostly relaxed their spirits. The elder-level ancient dragon Rebellion had already appeared in the direction of Decodas, and the rest here was just routine. Just a check.

In the team, Kailonisa transformed into a fat businessman with a big belly, and he was surrounded by several personal guards who were completely human. He slowly moved forward along the flow of people, and soon came to the checkpoint set up by the Ancient Dragon Temple.

"Name, identity, purpose of coming to the portal." An ancient dragon priest stretched out his hand to stop the team and asked in a routine manner. At the same time, he quietly released his spiritual perception to detect the aura fluctuations of the group.

"In Lower Sanilok, I am temporarily serving as the president of the Wahanit Chamber of Commerce in Lower City. Tonight I am going to the south to purchase a batch of goods." Kailonisa hunched over her plump body and said with a low voice and a smile.

This time was different from when he left the Second Two-Finger Church without any defense. The priest in front of him was no better than Christopher, whose strength had already reached the threshold of a hero. Caeronissa only used divine power to form a thin line on the body surface. The barrier makes the other party's spiritual perception useless.

Bloated, weak, over-indulged, like a puddle of dirty and smelly butter - this was the only impression the priest perceived from him.

"Oh?" The priest glanced at him sideways and said, "What kind of goods are you buying?"

"Well," Kailonisa wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, lowered her body and said cautiously, "it's a slave."

Seeing that the priest's face turned cold, Caeronissa quickly squeezed out a flattering smile on her bloated face and said: "Sir, you also know that since Her Royal Highness Lucia and Her Majesty the Queen signed an agreement, I will go to Gulong in batches with foreign races from all over the country. After the dynasty, slaves became more and more difficult to find, and many industries in the royal capital were in short supply of manpower. I also heard that His Highness Greg in the southern border had just wiped out several tribes in the wilderness and captured a large number of barbarian slaves, so I wanted to go there. Bringing back a batch to make a small living, this shouldn't conflict with His Highness Lucia's order, right?" After saying that, he took out a money bag from his arms with trembling fat hands and secretly stuffed it into the priest's hand. , doing a good job of acting like an unfashionable hawker.

The priest frowned and pushed the money bag away. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "We are not responsible for your troubles. Go in."

Seeing this, several ancient dragon knights in the rear got out of the way. Kailonisa passed through the checkpoint with gratitude and quickly disappeared inside the fortress. About 10 minutes later, Knight Rodel, who was responsible for maintaining order, informed them that they could enter. Portal.

After the last possible spy was gone, Caeronissa slowly straightened up, and her pretense of weakness was instantly gone.

He finally looked back in the distance and glanced in the direction of Dickas, exhaled a long breath, and said softly: "You win this round. I will let you win the blood that Ailan shed on Yatan Avenue." Fam Azra will repay you a hundredfold - His Highness Lucia Sanks."

"Your Highness—" As soon as Fulsanks landed, he transformed into a human and rushed towards Lucia quickly.

A few dozen steps away, Lucia squatted on the ground with her back to him, her white robe and silver armor dyed dark red by the dragon's blood.In front of him, the land solidified under high temperature into dark and shiny crystals. A handsome young man lay flat in the center of the crystals, already soundless.

Vulsanks flew to Lucia's side in an instant, and following his gaze, there was a transparent hollow from front to back on the young man's chest. The flesh and blood on the edge had been completely carbonized, and there were still a few wisps of flickering blood left on the surface. The thunder of destruction.

"It's the Queen of Death's secret technique of seizing the body," Lucia said, breaking the silence. "I saw it with my own eyes three years ago in the Vania Valley. This time, although the method of the caster was far inferior to that of the Queen of Death, it was It also allowed the owner of this corpse to display a strength that was not his at all. So much so that I mistakenly thought that he was the traitor."

Fulsanks' pupils trembled, "Your Highness is saying - the ancient dragon you fought with just now was actually a puppet controlled by others, and the person behind it not only colluded with Beta, but also had connections with the Queen of Death who had disappeared long ago? "

Lucia shook her head and said, "I'm not sure whether he directly colluded with the Queen of Death, or whether he secretly reached some kind of exchange, but no matter which case it is, we have lost this time. With the other party's methods, it must have been done by now." Escaped Yatan through the Rodel portal."

Forsankes was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood the key, and said with an ugly expression: "It's my fault."

"It's not anyone's fault," Lucia stood up and patted his shoulder. "Even the owner of this corpse, who is half ancient dragon and half mortal, can have such combat power. If there is no rebellion, he would have been able to fight like this." It is time for Fam Azra to become a glorious and powerful hero."

The moonlight reflected on his handsome and extraordinary face, and there was no joy in defeating a powerful enemy in his ice-blue eyes, but instead revealed a deep sadness.

"We have shed enough blood tonight," he said, "pass the order and bury this man and the ten flying dragon warriors together in the ancient dragon tomb under the sword monument in the royal city."

"Next time, I will take the heads of traitors and pay homage to their dead souls myself."
