MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 82
The tide of beasts approached Anxu unconsciously, and disappeared when it hit her. The other beasts that passed her were completely unaware of the reverse hunting that happened beside her. A small retrograde spot among the countless running beasts, no matter how you think about it, it is like a mantis arm, but that retrograde person is like a hot knife, cutting into the butter very smoothly.
Anxu walked slowly through the smaller half of the palace, the further upstream, the fewer people there were, and the more beasts there were. Seeing that she was about to reach the source of the beast horde, she stopped suddenly and looked around, trying to find a hiding place without wild beasts.
It wasn't that there was something wrong with Anxu's ability, or that the energy was exhausted—how could it be, she was full, and the consumption was far less than the replenishment, but this was also the problem. She was so full that she started to feel sleepy as a matter of course under the feeling of fullness that was about to hiccup.
The palace close to the source of the beast horde was almost in ruins. The only human in the ruins yawned, leaning against a broken wall, and huddled himself up.
The layer of strength surrounding An Xu converged inward, sticking tightly to her skin. Her sense of existence was minimized, and the strange beasts passing by turned a blind eye to her and ran over like passing a brick.
An Xu didn't sleep for too long.
A strange beast whose ability lies in the sense of smell approached here, sniffed a few times hesitantly, opened its **** mouth, and pounced on the "fresh meat" behind the ruins. Its head exploded when it hit Anxu, and its body followed closely behind, collapsing into a piece of flesh as if affected by aftershocks.
An Xu fell asleep with the thought of "I don't want to continue eating", so the supernatural power that wrapped her no longer devoured it, and the scene that should have been eaten clean became unattractive. The rain of blood drenched her head and face, An Xu frowned unhappily at the wet touch, and childishly curled up tighter, trying to get rid of this disgusting feeling of Bala and fall asleep again.
If no one bothered, she might succeed.
Something in the distance rushed into the herd of beasts, and a stone stirred up a thousand waves, making the tide of beasts boil. With a flash of silver light, the crowded herd instantly cleared an open space, revealing the figure inside. The knight in light armor held up his giant sword, took a deep breath, and stabbed at the place where the crowd of beasts was densely packed.
He pierced through the thick animal wall in the blink of an eye, flashed more than ten meters away, and then the corpse that was split by the giant sword crashed to the ground. Different from Anxu's silent retrograde, every step forward of the knight is like stepping on a swamp, and the beast tide that has been cut apart will gather again in the blink of an eye.
Even this knight known as the Moonlight Thorn fell into a bitter fight tonight. The Gale Knights split up to destroy the teleportation formations everywhere, and the head of the branch, Chris, was in charge of the most dangerous one in the Urburg Palace. He came alone, because it would be a meaningless sacrifice to go upstream in such a ferocious animal tide and bring anyone with him.
The stabbing didn't give him much respite. As soon as Chris got a firm foothold, he spun around, and the big sword in his hand split the gathered group of alien beasts like a chain saw. He quickly looked around. The teleportation array was at least a hundred meters away. It was impossible to get there in one go. Fortunately, there was a broken wall not far away that could cover it. The knight lowered his body and jumped up suddenly. He crushed the neck of a bear-shaped beast in mid-air, and jumped under the broken wall with his strength.
Then he found out that someone was already there.
The girl with light blond hair curled up under the broken wall, and the nobleman's fine clothes were covered in blood. Her eyes were closed tightly, her face was peaceful, as if she was asleep. But who can sleep soundly in such a place.
Chris's pupils contracted, and a series of questions gnawed at his heart. Why is Ann here? She didn't have time to leave? Did I still kill her? Shocked, he was approached by the alien beast, narrowly avoiding the teeth of a alien beast clenching at his throat, but lost his chance, and was cornered by the gathered alien beast.
Chris was able to walk alone in the dense beast horde, not only because of his extraordinary strength and endurance, but also because of his speed when he hit and walked in the herd of beasts. Once he slowed down, the herd of beasts around him would stick up slowly and tenaciously like asphalt. With his back against the broken wall, a sharp edge of the huge sword swung out, enclosing An Ye within the circle of the sword. It was just a subconscious movement, but as he did so, Chris saw Ann's chest still heaving slightly out of the corner of his eye.
she is alive!
The impact of this discovery was no less than when he discovered Ann just now, Chris's heart relaxed and tightened suddenly. The beast herd was still being teleported from the Wenjialuo defense line to the capital. Only by destroying the teleportation array could this be stopped, and he couldn't do this while protecting An. To break out of the siege, Chris must give up Ann.
It is equivalent to killing her for the second time.
His heart sank like lead, and he felt like his breathing was about to freeze. Chris swung his sword mechanically. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the question asked by the girl many years ago: There are many strangers on one side and important people on the other. How would you choose? An's sly smile in memory seemed to see the present, like a mockery, like an ominous omen.
Over the years, his decision has not changed.
In a few seconds, the knight will make a choice. He will grit his teeth and leave his long-lost friend behind, destroy the teleportation circle, and face his fate. It's just that in just a few seconds, An Xu, who was awakened by the approaching noise, opened his eyes.
The first thing that caught my eye was a back view.
It was a tall adult man with broad shoulders but a thin waist, and he wielded a giant sword that was as wide as a man. His body was tense, and the lines of his muscles emerged from his damaged shorts. He was like a cheetah ready to go. With a flick of his wrist, he was thrown out of the swarming beasts that made a noise. In front of him was the sky illuminated by the burning palace and the herd of beasts that became more ferocious under the firelight, and behind him was Anxu. An Xu lay on the ground and looked forward. The figure of this man was facing a mountain, like a shield, blocking between her and the world.
The man turned his head suddenly.
He has blond hair stained by dust and blood. It is incredible that Anxu can still see that his eyes are blue at this time, and the blue eyes reflecting the fire are like lava flowing under the ice. He obviously has no medals, no armor, and even the leather armor close to him is damaged. It can be said that he looks **** and embarrassed, but An Xu somehow feels that no one is more worthy of the word paladin than he looks.
That turning back was very short, but in an instant, he turned back to deal with the constant impact of the beast tide. However, that moment froze on An Xu's retina, making her feel unwell. She heard the sound of her heart beating wildly, she kept blinking, and even the burning ruins became as brilliant as a fireworks display in her eyes. An Xu was a little dizzy, not as dizzy as before. This Chris is really not the previous one, she thought dizzily, otherwise, how can one fall in love with the same person twice?
She got up from the ground and slapped the dust off her body indiscriminately. This action startled Mr. Knight, and he turned his head again, his dignified expression suddenly relaxed, just like a smile. He looked at An Xu as if saying that her standing up in disgrace is one of the most congratulatory things in the world.
"Please follow me!" This Chris restrained his smile and said quickly, "I have to destroy the teleportation array, can you go? Sorry!"
An Xu froze for a second before realizing that the sorry meant that there was no way to send her to a safe place.
This Chris is as good as the last one, maybe the dream has inherited the template from the previous one. An Xu thought, how could someone be so good at it? What an angel.
And the second thought that followed was, [I want him].
An Xu can be considered to understand why there are so many rescued girls in the story secretly besotted to the knight. Think about it, a DPS or milk with only blood left meets a T who can stand in front of the enemy. Can add ten handsome auras to T. An Xu lay in the herd of beasts without fear of his life at all, but it didn't hurt the nobility and handsomeness of the rescuer at all, and it also gave An Xu a particularly indescribable mood. How should I put it, it's as if a photographer who was tightly wrapped up and photographed penguins on a glacier met a kind-hearted seal who was worried that she would freeze to death and climbed over to lie on her to keep her warm.
I want him, An Xu repeated in his heart, bold, bold, with super loud background sound effects. I understand that Piaochang must have been waiting for this moment after so many failures. Setting Chris, the head of the branch, as omega must be a reminder of the start of the love branch, and the Chris I met before is the teaching level! Chris, you really are my guaranteed hero! An Xu felt a fire in her heart, and the confidence of the King of Raiders was burning in her heart.
So she smiled and said, "Which way are you going?"
"In front, the side hall to the east." Chris said, "Please..."
Before he could finish speaking, An actually got out behind him and rushed a few steps in that direction. She stretched out her hands to the oncoming beast, as if trying to appease a docile lamb. Chris broke out in cold sweat for a moment, and just after taking half a step, he was frozen in place by the scene he saw.
The beast disappeared.
An ran forward a few steps, and the beasts that rushed over disappeared one after another. She simply opened her arms and ran all the way, unexpectedly clearing a piece of white ground easily among the crowded herd. Chris watched in amazement as she ran a few meters away, stopped, turned around and smiled embarrassedly at himself.
"Follow me," she said.
It was bound to be a sleepless night.
Urburg ushered in chaos unseen in a century, and many people who had never seen a strange beast in their life shed blood and tears under the sudden attack. After a short period of chaos, the enraged king led the royal knights against his brother, and the prime minister organized the royal guard to stabilize the situation, preventing the people who were gripped by panic and desire from becoming part of the chaos. When most of the teleportation arrays in various parts of Urburg were destroyed, and a ray of morning light lit up in the sky, the country with a deep foundation finally recovered and turned its attention to the person who brought chaos.
The remnants of Prince Ronald surrounded their king and fled in a panic on the outskirts of Urburg. The prince's face was sliced off in half by Richard II's wind blade. Even if the healer rescued him in time, he could no longer see with his right eye.
He cursed the **** traitor Gale Knights in his heart, if not for them, who would have found the location of the hidden teleportation array so quickly? Omega, he is really blind to believe such a weak and emotional creature! He also cursed the Vatican who refused to take action. The **** of the Vatican spoke nicely, but in the end they had no other support except those supernatural beings. Could it be that they want that rude idiot who is hostile to the Vatican to continue to sit on the throne!
What Prince Ronald wanted to curse the most was the astrologer. If it wasn't for that damned prophecy, he could have continued to accumulate strength and wait until he was sure of everything before sending troops. "Before the next growth ring grows, under the red hair, a new ruler will be born"? Does this mean that the red-haired queen will give birth to a crown prince next year, or that there will be a new red-haired king next year? Richard II was already wary of his copper-haired brother, so he wanted to kill him quickly. And Prince Ronald, because of this prophecy, also deepened his ambition to become king by destiny.
In any case, he survived, and if he survived, he could make a comeback. The prince let out a sigh of relief, vomited his frustration, and remained grateful for the rest of his life after the catastrophe. As long as he fled back to the Bungalow line of defense, the king would not be able to cross the border of thousands of mountains and rivers to send troops, and his strength on the line of defense did not hurt at all. The Holy See will definitely help him who is weak, otherwise who else can he support to fight against the king...
Prince Ronald, who was running at the forefront, reined in his horse abruptly and looked forward in surprise. In front is the teleportation array he secretly prepared, more than enough to send the rest of the important people back. But there, there stood a stranger.
A stranger in a priest's black robe stood in front of them, looking at the tense army with a constant smile. Prince Ronald took a closer look, felt relieved, and said angrily, "It's Noah, the God's Blessed One, what's your business?"
God's Favored Noah nodded to them with a smile, and stared at Prince Ronald without blinking his black eyes. Before the prince ran out of patience, he smiled and said, "I came here because I heard a prophecy."
"If people in the Holy See believe in prophecy, they shouldn't just give me some supernatural beings!" The prince sneered.
"Sorry, I think His Royal Highness made a mistake." Noah said slowly, "I don't come here to represent the Holy See, but only myself. The prophecy I said is only about myself."
"What prophecy?" Prince Ronald asked patiently, he didn't know why he wasted time talking to a pawn.
"The sharks of our compatriots devour each other..." Noah's voice lowered, and he returned to normal after a while, "Although I think the blood relationship of mortal bodies is not worth mentioning, but..."
He raised his head and said sincerely: "Just in case, it's better to try everything."
Looking at that handsome and frail face, Prince Ronald suddenly felt a cold current run up his back.
It was bound to be a sleepless night.
The king's younger brother, Prince Ronald, conspired against him and lured strange beasts into Urburg. After failing, he fled out of the city and has never been heard from again.
The new queen of Pu Lan's family died in the chaos of alien beasts, and the wedding had to be interrupted.
Thirty-two of the Gale Knights, including the adjutant, were killed in battle, and eleven were captured by the Royal Guards and executed on the spot. The whereabouts of the rest are unknown. Captain Chris was arrested without a fight and was tried three days later.
The "Black Beast Rebellion" in Urburg came to an end in this way.
