Looking at the suspicious dents on the cliff, Becky was speechless for a long time.
"I'm afraid those rock monsters really split from the cliff." Y 'zaks frowned as he sensed some mysterious power around him. "There's a very weak force coming from the depths of the earth, and this mountain range is the outlet of this force."
"There are four on the mountain road in the east, but there must be more rock monsters splitting off. I don't know where the rest of them are." Vivian's tone was a little nervous. The collapsing cliff and the fact that an entire army of rock monsters was about to rush out of the mountains reminded her of the Mythological Era on Earth. She was sure that it would be a disaster — because she had witnessed many similar disasters. "Becky, who should we report this to?"
The situation in front of them was not something that could be solved by individual combat power. So, the first thing to do was to inform the "relevant departments" in this world, but Vivian did not know who could handle this.
"The Disciples of Glory... or the Royal Knights." Becky had been in a daze since the beginning, and now she suddenly woke up. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her tone was urgent. "Go down the mountain! Go inform the Knights of Leyton! "
No one dared to delay any longer, and hurriedly ran down the road down the mountain. Hao Ren noticed that Becky was panicking, and realized that this was unprecedented in The Plane of Dreams. "You've never heard of rock monsters in Dragonspine Ridge before?"
"No!" Becky said loudly to keep calm. "Not to mention rock monsters, there's not even a large magical beast in this mountain range! This must have something to do with the disappearance of the Orb. I'm afraid the Goddess is going to... "
Becky did not dare to continue. As a local, the story of the Goddess destroying the world and the atonement of mankind was deeply ingrained in her mind. Mercenaries were precarious, and she was more or less superstitious. In her mind, there was a secret and ancient connection between the Beinz Blood Lake, Dragonspine Ridge, and the Orb of the Holy Synod. This connection made her think that the current situation was heading in a bad direction.
"Don't worry too much," Hao Ren comforted her. "Even if the sky falls, there's someone tall enough to hold it up. The church and the knights will find a way."
Becky glanced at Hao Ren gratefully and said, "Although I don't know where you got all these weird words from, it sounds reasonable every time. Thank you."
Y 'zaks, who was the tallest in the team, could not help but shrink his neck. Even he felt that Hao Ren was not good at comforting people.
Going down the mountain was much faster than going up the mountain. Coupled with the fact that they were rushing at full speed, they finally left the mountain range before sunset and set foot on an old broad road that led straight to Leyton Town.
Under the gradually dimming sky, Hao Ren saw a faint purple glow rising from the ground in the distance. He did not know what it was.
"It looks like a town's defensive barrier." Becky looked at the faint purple glow, and her expression was uncertain whether she was relieved or worried. "The town has activated its defense. I'm afraid the stone giants have already …"
Hao Ren got on his horse and said, "Don't say anything more. Let's go!"
Everyone got on their horses and galloped away. Lily, the fool, made more mistakes the more anxious she was. She could not climb up the horse even after jumping for a long time. In the end, she could only give up and let out a loud bark, carrying her horse and galloping to catch up with the team. So basically, everyone was basically like this: Hao Ren, Vivian and a few others who knew how to ride horses rode in the front, Y 'zaks ran fiercely at the back of the team, Lily carried the horse and ran at the back of the team. The formation of the team was like a dance of demons and ghosts. If it were not for the fact that it was not the right time, Hao Ren really wanted to stop and record Lily for half an hour. What was the use of this girl occupying a horse? It was better to let her run with Y 'zaks in the first place!
After galloping all the way, the town of Leyton at the foot of the mountain finally appeared in front of them.
This was a town slightly smaller than Lamberg Town. It was built on the mountain and located in the middle of a canyon. This valley was the key road to the Gnarled Grove. It was obvious that this town was built specifically to guard this important road. Above the town, there were large patches of faint purple light curtain hanging down from the sky like a waterfall, just blocking the two ends of the valley.
On the open ground in front of the valley, there were traces of battle.
The originally flat triangular rocky beach was full of explosion craters that were still emitting green smoke. Broken swords and various pieces of unknown equipment were scattered everywhere. Within a few hundred meters in front of the entrance of the town, there were many broken black-brown stones. These stones were scattered on the ground in piles, some of which were still slightly trembling. They should be the remains of the rock giants.
It seemed that a large-scale combat spell had been used here. Strange magical energy still lingered in the air. Half a meter above the ground, there were many small glowing air masses or energy sparks floating. These were short-lived magical beings. Although the Disciples of Glory believed that these magic remnants were just ordinary energy reactions and were far from being "life", the old-fashioned ones, especially the mages from the Spire, still called them "magical beings" in accordance with the customs passed down from ancient times.
The battle had just ended. Hao Ren could still smell a lot of strange smells in the air. But it seemed that Leyton had not suffered any damage from the rock giants' raid. After all, this was an important town guarding the Beinz Blood Lake. There were far more elite troops stationed here than expected. The faint purple light beam that shrouded the entire valley was not something that ordinary people could have done.
In front of the town, there were several semi-arc-shaped bunkers built with boulders and steel. These were urgently built by the battlefield sorcerers during the battle. As soon as Hao Ren and the others ran to the bunkers, they saw a dozen heavily armed knights jumping out from behind. One of them, a big man without a helmet and looked stronger than the others, roared, "Who are you?! Identify yourself! "
Becky reined in her horse's head and lightly dismounted. Before she landed on the ground, she shouted, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's humans, not rock giants!"
These town guards were actually a little nervous. The surreal battle just now had made them panicked. Coupled with the fact that the sky was getting darker, the sudden appearance of a group of unidentified strangers from the direction of the mountains made them a little nervous. After Becky spoke, the guards were relieved. But the young officer still pointed nervously behind Hao Ren and asked, "Who is that four-legged monster over there?!"
Hao Ren was stunned. He turned around and saw Lily running over with her horse in her hand...
"You're the monster! Your whole family is a monster! " Lily put down the innocent pony that was almost scared out of its wits. She put her hands on her waist and shouted angrily.
"Oh, it's a werewolf. So strong." The young officer stared for a long time before he awkwardly put down his weapon. "Sorry, I'm night blind."
Hao Ren was speechless. Was it really okay for this kind of person to be the sentry leader here?
He did not know that the big man in front of him was also a temporary replacement. The real sentry leader was still lying in the town's infirmary.
Becky came in front of the sentry leader and said, "We are a mercenary group. We just came from the mountains. We have something to report to the knights! Or the person in charge of the church. Anyway, the person with the highest authority in the town will do! "
The sentry leader immediately guessed that the group of people in front of him had encountered something in the mountains. He quickly sent one of his men to look for the barrier mages at the town entrance to open a passage. He looked nervously at the direction of the mountains and asked, "Is it... about the monster?"
Becky nodded and did not say much.
The protective barrier over the town was maintained by the energy provided by the small church in the center of the town. No one dared to simply shut it down at this critical moment. However, there were some temporary energy node devices on the outskirts of the town. The barrier mages could control these devices to temporarily open some passages on the barrier for people to enter and exit. Soon, Hao Ren and the others got permission to enter the town. A man in a robe with a straight face flew out of the town and said, "I'm ordered to bring you to see the bishop. This is an emergency. The whole town is under martial law. Do not leave my sight until the bishop gives you full permission. I hope you can understand."
It was a very reasonable request. Hao Ren and the others nodded and then followed the serious man in a black robe into Leyton Town which was already in a state of Level One alert.
