Chapter 317: New trend

Keel hills. ,
"We retreat" on the airship, Shi Lane issued an order.
"Aren't you going to see the Sword Saint?" Narosa asked. Since he came to help, he left without saying hello, it seemed a bit out of human manners. Of course, she was just talking, it didn't matter whether she went or not.
"No, there are not many magic crystals, all kinds of potions need to be replenished, and you have to look for Ms. Iona as soon as possible." Shi Lane said.
He didn't want to stay in the kingdom of Aoraki. There was no bottom line for sending Monte to do things. Who knew what he would do, maybe they stopped and couldn't fly away.
A dry airship retreated and flew to the spot where Iona and the black dragon fell. When he reached the ground, Shi Lane began to cast the All-Seeing Eye.
There was a huge hole in the ground, which was knocked out by huge force. The pit was surrounded by broken ice cubes. Seeing the shape, it was the corpse of the black dragon.
"The black dragon is dead." Ryan was happy, and then continued to search for Iona near the pothole.
After searching for it, there was no trace of Iona in this area. Ryan frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Go ahead and walk slowly."
He estimated that if Iona had gone to the east, because in the war, the east was the safest.
The airship traveled all the way, and Shi Lane cast his spells to observe. After searching for more than half an hour, the airship has flown more than fifty kilometers, but Ryan never found a trace of Ms. Aiona.
"Where did you go?" Ryan was a little anxious. This was the place of the Dark Legion, whether it was them or Iona. The longer you stay, the more dangerous it is.
suddenly. An exclamation was heard from the deck: "Not good. Another gargoyle is coming."
Ryan immediately turned the observation angle of the All-Seeing Eye, and he saw a group of gargoyles leaping towards them in the direction of the horizon. The number was not too large, about two hundred.
If the airship is fully staffed and there are enough potions and magic crystals, it is of course easy to deal with it. But now the combat materials on the airship are basically exhausted, and even the dead nemesis only has the last more than 100 barrels to deal with accidents. .
If you are entangled by these gargoyles at this time. If one fails, they may shoot down several airships. If the time is delayed, the liches of the Dark Legion will follow, maybe their airship team will be left here.
After a quick weighing, Ryan decisively ordered: "Let's go, go forward at full speed"
It's not that he doesn't want to rescue Iona, but he really doesn't have this ability.
In the dense forest on the ground.
Iona watched the airship team accelerate eastward, and couldn't help cursing in her heart: "What a bunch of cowards."
She added a stealth technique to herself when she saw the airship. She originally wanted to show up for help, but not far behind she followed a group of extremely powerful Liches. Forcing her to keep hiding.
She could feel that among those liches, one already possessed the power of a teacher, and the others also possessed the level of a high-level magician. If she appeared rashly, there would be no time to board the airship, and she might even be witched by the airship. Demon shot down.
This is not impossible. It is not necessary to destroy the hull if you want to shoot down the airship. They only need to find the node of the flying circle on the airship, and then give huge magical interference. At the level of the opponent's teacher, as long as he is given some time to observe, it is not difficult to do this.
Seeing the airship team leave, Iona's last chance of safe escape also disappeared. Reluctantly, she could only hide in the hole of a big withered tree, and then reduced her breath, hoping not to be discovered by her opponent.
After waiting for a while, Iona felt rustling footsteps coming from outside the tree cave. At the same time, there was a sharp aura of death magic. Those liches were nearby.
Iona raised her heart, she was very confident in her breath-reducing magic, but she was not sure whether there was any trace of her left outside the tree hole.
The sound of footsteps passed by the tree, and the nearest time was only ten meters away from the place where Iona was. The other party seemed to have stopped, and it almost made Iona's heart beat out of her throat.
"Don't come, don't come" Iona is already ready to fight to the death, no, don't fight, as long as she is found by the other party, she will destroy herself, and she can't be turned into an undead dragon.
As for Luo Lin, who was implicated in the contract thousands of kilometers away, she couldn't control that much. Anyway, he must be in a safe place. Even if he was hit by the contract, there would always be time to regain his strength.
Fortunately, the opponent only stopped for about three seconds, and then continued to the east.
Iona also followed with a sigh of relief. She did not dare to come out of the tree hole and decided to hide inside for a while.
The power of the black dragon is too great, especially when it broke out, in order to protect against the tsunami-like death magic impact, the frost magic in her body was almost exhausted, plus the injuries during the battle, Iona estimated that she would take at least two months. Time will be restored.
"I don't know if I can successfully escape this time." Iona sighed in her heart when she curled up in the damp and dirty dark tree hole.
In the tree hole, it was not only damp, but also various insects with extremely tenacious vitality crawling around. In order to make it easier to escape, Iona of course didn't wear a long skirt. She was wearing a dark blue leather armor.
A worm crawled into the cracks in the leather armor and crawled on her skin. It was very uncomfortable, but she did not dare to move, nor did she dare to freeze the bug to death with the little frost magic in her body, so she could only hold it back forcibly.
In the middle of the night, it started to rain. Dirty rainwater flowed from the top of the tree hole and poured directly on Iona's head, pouring her whole body through.
This is the territory of the Dark Legion, and the rain is also affected, with a touch of darkness in it. In a short while, Iona's skin was soaked palely by the rain. The rain flowed through the small wounds on her body, and it was even more heart-wrenching pain, but Iona could only hold back silently.
She has never experienced this kind of torment, who has always been pampered. She couldn't bear it, and felt her eyes hot, and she seemed to have tears streaming out. She wiped away the tears immediately, because she knew that the tears would give off a breath, and it was very likely that they would be tracked by the terrible lich.
One night passed, and then another day, and then another night. Iona remained motionless until noon on the third day. She felt the faint sunlight pouring down from the tree hole above her head. She was a little relieved and prepared to get out of the tree. Climb out of the hole and continue running.
Without eating or drinking for three days, her body was almost stiff. The harsh environment caused great damage to her body, and the frost magic in her body almost stopped recovering.
Iona gritted her teeth and moved in the tree hole for a long time, before the blood began to flow all over her body, barely regaining some strength for her.
She slowly crawled out of the tree hole, looked up, and through the dead branches, she saw pale sunlight without any heat.
"It should be safer now." Iona stumblingly walked in the dry woods, and continued to drive east.
Disentas was a little irritable. He had been looking for this area for many days, but the opponent seemed to disappear out of thin air without any trace.
Even so, he always believed that the other party hadn't escaped. She must be still in this hilly area. The reason why she couldn't feel it was that the other party had used some secret method to hide her body.
These days, the Dark Legion has retreated to the south, and the Great Demon King is going to return to Davik fortress to rest. After regrouping, he will turn to the northeast and go to the Mozalen Bridge.
The defensive elite of the Mozalen Bridge lost nearly 30,000, and the true elites are only more than 10,000. The rest are all recruits who have never seen blood. Even with the natural danger of Heishuihe, their strength is far better than Not on the Steel Front Fortress.
As long as a breakthrough, the Dark Legion will be able to obtain a huge power supplement, and then turn from the north to the west, and then fight the Aoraki Kingdom, maybe it will be successful in one battle.
Before he left, the Great Demon King gave Disentas 50,000 dead skeletons to help him find someone in this hill. The entire keel hills are so big, Disentas believes that no matter where the opponent is hidden, his undead can find him out.
Just as the Dark Legion withdrew south, Disentas was busy looking for people in Dragonbone Hills, but the steel front fortress to the west went wrong.
The messenger sent a letter from King Aoraki. A moment before, Edward was still immersed in the joy of repelling the Dark Legion. The moment later, when he saw the content of the letter, his face immediately turned pale.
They were victorious in the Steel Front Fortress, but because of King Aoraki’s desperate conscription, a large number of insurgents appeared in the country. The direct result was that the military supply line of the Steel Front Fortress was broken by these chaotic people. Can't get to the fortress on time.
This time, in order to collect enough food for the fortress, the kingdom levied heavy taxes, and many families’ winter food was taken away. Without food, you will starve to death. At this time, whoever cares whether to fight against darkness or not, let's talk about eating full.
When he sent Monte to do this, Edward advised him to be careful and not to be so aggressive, but in the end he was persuaded by the opponent to fight against the Dark Legion~EbookFREE.me~ defaulted to the other party’s approach, because Edward He couldn't think of a better way to solve this problem, and the pressure of the Dark Legion was too great, forcing him to accept this expedient measure.
Now that the Dark Legion has been repelled, something happened inside the kingdom, the grain and grass were intercepted, and there is no guarantee that the next batch of grain and grass will be delivered. The only good news is that the fortress has enough grain and grass. Months.
But if this news is known to the Legion of Darkness, Edward will not even dare to think about his comeback.
In any case, Edward knew that the kingdom must put an end to the chaos as soon as possible, because the news could not be kept for long.
Thinking of this, Edward looked at the direction the Dark Legion had retreated, and sighed. He originally came up with a fortress to chase after him, and he also made a detailed plan, but now, all of this has been lost.
He estimated that it would take at least half a year for the kingdom to suppress the chaos. In this short period of time, they will be unable to look around, at most they can only protect themselves.
"Earl Maple Leaf, you have to hold on," Edward said silently in his heart. To be continued. .
