The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

[Wind City Halsim is a pearl in the Desert of Death. 】

Some bards believe that this sentence is not true, and the word "only" should be added in front of "one" to be accurate.

Unfortunately, the person who said this sentence once held the supreme power of the Rose Kingdom, and the so-called praiser of freedom could only speak "freely" to express his agreement.

But at this moment, this pearl standing on the wind and sand is in a precarious state under the attack of endless beast tides. The crumbling city wall may be attacked by waves of beasts at any time. Tragedy of destruction and death.

Harsim

outside the city

In a hidden canyon

"Morgans, report the battle situation."

In the special invisible tent, a young general wearing a blue military uniform wiped his face and turned to look at the half-kneeling guards at the door.

His soft long golden hair had long been solidified into strands by dried black blood. The velvet scarf originally woven by the nobles was also soaked in an unknown brown-green liquid. His whole body was soaked in blood as if he had just recovered from the blood. The evil spirit crawling out of the pool.

Only, the two one-handed swords about 1.7 meters long at his waist were still as new as new, and even the hilts were not stained by the slightest stain.

Facing the general's inquiry, the bodyguard who had been waiting for a long time did not dare to hesitate at all and said quickly:

"Since you killed the mutated lion-type monster in the beast tide, the beast tide has temporarily stopped attacking. In addition, the scouts discovered that small-scale civil strife has begun to occur in the beast tide."

"The fleeing soldiers and nobles from the Orc Kingdom have been dispersed and assigned to the Blue Legion team. They are currently cleaning up the remaining monsters that have sneaked into the city."

The personal guard lowered his head to report the latest battle situation, while looking at the ground at the general's feet.

Following the spreading blood, he could vaguely see the powerful legion commander now stained with blood.

"Is that blood the enemy's, or..."

Although he knew that he should not make random guesses, the bodyguard, who had not rested for three consecutive days and nights, could not help but think about this issue in his mind.

A month ago, even if he were killed, he would not have believed that the commander of the Blue Army, who had just been promoted to a high-level legend and was famous throughout Karen. He was known as the noble among the nobles. The magic sword Riel Rex would have Such a miserable day.

[The leader of the Riel Army is the strongest and invincible]

This is the creed in the hearts of all Blue Legion soldiers and their belief.

But the raging beast tide and the powerful ancestor beast told them: NO, this idea is wrong.

Riel, who rarely heard good news, relaxed his frown slightly.

But what followed was a feeling of exhaustion sweeping over his body.

In fact, in the collapsed orc kingdom, Jixiu was not the only one of the orc royal family to hear the call to return to their ancestors.

But only Jixiu himself, because of his hatred for Tek, chose to lead the beast wave to bypass the obstruction and go straight to the Capachi defense line.

What about the other ancestral beasts?

Riel didn't know. He only knew that in the face of these "mutated monsters" that suddenly appeared and were far more powerful than ordinary legends, he could only constantly wave his two long swords to kill all enemies who broke through the defense line. outside.

Due to the soft geology of the Death Desert, no matter how hard we try, Halsim's city wall can only be maintained at about a dozen meters.

Not to mention blocking the Ancestral Beast at this height, even ordinary fourth-level monsters with more flexibility can ignore it and jump over "low" city walls with one leap.

Because of this, the soldiers of the Blue Army could only choose to block the huge beast tide outside the city wall, instead of relying on the city wall to continuously consume the opponent's vitality like the Capacci Defense Line.

take a deep breath

Riel closed his eyes, then quickly opened them again.

He couldn't rest yet, even though there was not much magic left in his body, there were waves of hypnotic echoes in the sea of ​​​​spirit.

"Where are the reinforcements from the old man's side? Haven't they arrived yet?"

Hearing this, the guard lowered his head even further:

"We have dispatched the soldiers with the fastest legs and feet, and released dozens of flying monsters to report to the capital, but His Majesty the King"

"So, you still don't believe it?"

"yes"

Shaking his head, Riel looked up at the map of the Rose Kingdom on the table.

After a while, he curled his lips:

"Humbling."

His voice was so low that no matter how hard the guards listened, they could only hear the first modal particle.

a moment later

Riel walked out of the tent with a calm expression.

"Notify all Blue Legion soldiers to carry three days' worth of supplies and prepare to retreat."

Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers were shocked.

You must know that Halsim is not the only place where the Blue Legion is stationed, there are also tens of millions of people from the Rose Kingdom living here!

If the main force of the Blue Legion that resisted the beast tide retreated, would it be possible to rely only on the mercenary groups and the exiles from the Orc Kingdom to resist the beast tide?

It is conceivable that once that happens, this pearl in the desert will be completely destroyed in just an instant.

"Your Majesty, are you too anxious? We should have a fight."

A deputy corps commander hesitated for a moment and finally stepped forward to question.

"The power of a battle?"

But before he could finish speaking, Riel interrupted him.

Looking at the shiny armor in front of him, he came from the deputy commander of a certain Duke's mansion. Riel mercilessly stretched out his finger and tapped the opponent's helmet, and said with a gloomy expression:

"It's been a whole month, and now 2/3 of the soldiers of the entire Blue Army have been killed in the battle, and all the remaining soldiers have been injured. On the other hand, the group of monsters has the entire orc kingdom as a supply base for their soldiers, and they have defeated this nearly one Month after month, the number actually increased instead of decreasing.”

"You said you were not allowed to retreat. Do you want my soldiers to die in vain!?"

"Come on, tell me how to fight this battle!?"

After speaking, he almost shouted the last words

Perhaps it was because the force on his fingers was so heavy that the deputy commander who was airborne thirty years ago fell to the ground with a pale face and could not get up for a long time.

Riel glanced at the "adjutant" in front of him with disdain, and then ignored this guy.

He turned around, looked at the silent soldiers in front of him, and said calmly:

"I know a lot of people were born here, grew up here, and even have all their relatives in the city."

"But this is war."

Riel suddenly pulled out the one-handed sword from his waist, inserted it heavily into the ground, and said in a deep voice:

"War kills people, whether it's you or me!"

"And your bounden duty is to obey orders, even if..."

The usually popular speech received no response.

Riel looked at the dark and silent soldiers of the Blue Army in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He doesn't know how painful it is to abandon a loved one.

But they have been holding on for a month, and there has been no reply from the royal capital. The old man himself may have given up here.

Without follow-up supplies, fighting here is just a lone force fighting trapped beasts. Even if he is a high-level legend, if he does not withdraw from the battlefield in time, he will sooner or later be eaten alive by the endless tide of beasts.

Instead of dying like this, it is better to retreat directly and retain as much strength as possible to resist at the Capachi Defense Line. At least, the same force can achieve better results there.

But Riel couldn't explain all this to them, and could only enforce it with military orders.

Because once the soldiers who know the truth know that they have become abandoned, I am afraid that the entire Blue Army may mutiny because of the king's actions, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Looking at the soldiers who were still hesitating in front of them, and the tide of beasts outside who didn't know when they would attack again.

Riel understood that he had to cut through the mess quickly.

"The whole army obeys the order!"

He suddenly roared.

After waking everyone up, Riel was ready to quickly issue a series of orders to evacuate Halsim, striving to evacuate as quickly as possible.

As for how many soldiers will obey the order and leave, it depends on their own choice.

But before he could speak.

"Boom."

"Lord Riel."

A rapid sound suddenly sounded outside the protective circle along with the roar of the earth.

At the edge of the protective circle, a messenger was waving his arms desperately and running towards the station.

"Oops, could it be that the beast tide has started attacking the city again?!"

Feeling the tremor of the earth, Riel's expression also changed, and he thought something bad in his heart.

"Damn it, I have to take advantage of this moment."

Before Riel could recover, the messenger ran up to him, breathing heavily and shouting excitedly:

"Sir, reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!"

"What!?"

Outside the protective circle

Vivian, wearing only a platinum robe, floated in the air, her long silver hair flowing slowly.

Feeling the thousands of monsters in the group of monsters at the end of her sight that were gathering together, a terrifying aura that was almost the same as that of Ji Xiu, Vivian blinked and her cute little head tilted slightly:

"Legendary. Legion?" (End of this chapter)
