Alien Knights

Todd, who was panting heavily on the ground, looked at the wound on the dragon's wing with anger and confusion in his eyes.

Commanding the griffin to land beside the black dragon, Evie, holding a bow and arrow, walked quickly to Todd's side, and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

"The wound has stopped expanding, but it's like being poisoned here. The pain and weakness cannot be eliminated." Todd struggled to gather the dragon wings: "There must be something wrong with that red spear, even if the tyrant's enhanced "regeneration 』The ability, there is no way to work."

Looking up at the sisters circling in the sky, Evie clenched the bow in her hand: "This place is not safe, we must leave here immediately."

Todd tried to flap the dragon wings, but the great pain made him unable to maintain his balance, and he let out a low growl unconsciously.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to fly anymore." Todd said to Evie: "Using the 'plasticity' ability, I can compress the dark matter in my body and return to human form, but this process will take some time."

Evie nodded: "I will let the battle group of Rongka Fortress be responsible for the guard work."

Todd sat on the ground, his whole body exuded a light blue light, hot steam spewed out from the gaps in the dragon scales, filling the entire forest in an instant.

An hour later, Todd, who regained his human form, sat up from the ground without a trace, and stumbled towards the edge of the forest.

Evie, who had been by Todd's side all the time, quickly put the blanket that had been prepared in her hands on him, and helped him climb up the griffin.

Todd moved his arm in pain, and looking from behind, there was a shocking wound on his back.

Todd, with a pale face, said to Evie: "Tell Froststone's battle captains to prioritize preserving their strength. I will allow them to shrink their troops and give up some peripheral strongholds."

Evie nodded, and after conveying the order to her subordinates, she turned over and rode on the griffin, holding Todd in her arms and flying towards Froststone City.

Back in Froststone City, the first thing to do after disembarking the Griffin was that Evie asked the Valkyries to carry Todd back to the bedroom on the second floor of the small building. After asking Deirdre to take good care of him, she hurried back to the temple, Seek out Minnie, a shaman who is well versed in herbs.

Rubbing Deirdre's crying cheek with his fingers, Todd, who was lying on his side on the bed, said softly, "I'm fine."

Hearing the hurried footsteps of several people on the stairs, Todd gently shook Deirdre's hand and said, "Help me up."

Deirdre asked with red eyes: "Are you sure? But your wound?"

Todd shook his head slightly, motioning for Deirdre to help him.

As soon as he sat up, Todd saw three people walking in from the door of the bedroom.

Two of them were Evie and Minnie.

But the remaining person surprised Todd very much.

Wearing a jacket made of crow feathers, the woman's smile is like a ray of sunshine, but her voice is as cold as the cold wind on a snowy day.

"It's been a long time since I saw your human appearance. I'm still not used to seeing you at first." Meredith smiled at Todd and said, "How? Did you not expect it to be me?"

Todd shook his head helplessly, the pain from the wound on his back made him frown slightly.

Minnie said to Todd: "When you just set off for the north, she arrived in the temple and has been waiting until now."

Todd sighed: "When Scathach gave me this kind of mission, you should really remind me of the danger I might encounter."

Meredith smiled and said, "Didn't my teacher send me here? It's just that I didn't expect you to leave so soon."

Evie put her right hand on the hilt of the sword, stared at Meredith's every move, and asked vigilantly, "When you were downstairs, tell me that there is a way to deal with this kind of wound?"

Meredith pointed to the wound on Todd's back, making a requesting motion.

Todd gave Evie a look to calm down, then nodded to Meredith.

The latter walked slowly to the bed, under the gaze of a roomful of people, stretched out his right hand, palm facing up, and said to Todd, "Put your hand on my palm."

Todd did as he was told.

For an instant, Todd's consciousness was sucked into an unknown space.

A huge and majestic crystal city stands in the sky, shining brightly in the sunlight.

In the air tens of kilometers away from the city, nearly a hundred steam-driven steel battleships were arranged in an assault formation, and they were speeding towards the city.

Driving close to the city, the battleship made a piercing siren sound, and the hull slowly turned, with the side of the ship facing the city. As the black hole of the gun door was opened, thousands of blazing light prisms shot out from the gun muzzle, hitting It hit the water-blue shield above the city, causing ripples layer after layer.

Under the constant blows, the city in the sky made deafening crackling sounds of earth and rocks. Large chunks of rocks and buildings fell apart, peeling off from the edge of the city.

In the end, the city in the sky, which could no longer withstand the attack, had its shield broken in an instant, and the light prisms of the steam battleship directly hit the streets, gardens and sculptures of the city, and the beautiful city was destroyed by explosions and flames , slowly tilted, and fell towards the ground.

Just when Todd was stunned by the scene in front of him, a familiar voice sounded from behind him.

"It may take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to establish a civilization. But if it is just to destroy it, it only takes one day."

Todd turned his head and saw Scathach staying in the air, staring intently at the city falling to the ground.

"This is... your soul space?" Todd was a little relieved: "You buried the soul seed in Meredith's body? So, can I enter your soul space through her?"

Scathach did not answer Todd's question, but pointed to the broken crystal city: "That is the Linglan Empire, an empire with highly developed art and medicine."

Pausing for a moment, Scathach continued: "I am also a pioneer, the first race to participate in creation."

Todd was a little puzzled: "The race you participated in creating?"

"As the manager and creator of the universe, Jingsu has a huge biological gene pool. As the first batch of creations of Jingsu, the pioneers must cooperate with Jingsu to select suitable fragments from the gene pool to create out of other creatures, and complete the work of observation and supervision.”

Scathach watched the city in the air fall to the ground, making a loud noise, and a huge sandstorm swept the entire space in an instant.

"Although Jingsu's ultimate goal for these created creatures is only to pursue the experimental results, we, as pioneers, have our own ideas and preferences." Skaha shook his head and said: "For those who are responsible for assisting We have poured all our heart and soul into the race we designed and created. Whether it is appearance, character, or intelligence, we all hope to create a perfect race, but we have forgotten one thing..."

Todd closed his eyes and said helplessly, "War."

Scathach looked at Todd, with infinite sadness in his eyes: "At first we didn't understand at all...In the infinite living space, creation and collaboration are things that everyone can benefit from. Why are there races? , Keen to seize everything by destroying this stupid means?"

"Our beloved races were destroyed one after another, and the genes of those races that survived in the end only left tyranny, suspicion, possession and madness. The winners who have nothing else to destroy and devour, will see They aimed at their own compatriots, and went farther and farther on the road of cannibalism and suicide, and finally the whole universe returned to peace."

Scathach turned his body to Todd, holding a strange red spear in his hand.

Looking at this familiar weapon, Todd asked in surprise, "This is...?"

"The name of this weapon is 'Dead Silence', and it originally belonged to the warriors who destroyed the Linglan Empire. It is made of a very special silicon-based biological material, which can lock the dark energy wavelength of specific creatures, and use planetary gravity As a propulsion force, it conducts follow-up strikes on the target."

Scathach looked at Todd and said word by word: "This weapon will not only attack the enemy, but also attack yourself if it is used improperly. If you use one word to describe it, maybe it should be "curse" .”

"I once gave such a weapon to Cu Chulainn, the intention was to let him understand the essence of power - it can make you gain everything, but it can also make you lose everything. However, he may have been addicted to power Forget everything I said at the beginning..." Scathach lowered his head and said in a low voice: "He has only exerted less than one-tenth of the power of this weapon. So, Todd, while everything is still It's too late, stop him before he makes a bigger mistake..."

The space dissipated, and Todd's consciousness returned to his body in an instant.

Looking at the smiling Meredith in front of him, Todd was still a little bit immersed in the astonishment just now: "Skaha told me..."

Meredith interrupted him: "After you left, my teacher thought twice, worried that you would be at a disadvantage against Cu Chulainn, so I specially sent me to give you something."

Taking out a long strip of things wrapped in linen from under the crow feather cloak, Meredith slowly opened the linen, and Todd gasped for revealing the true face of the hidden thing.

It was the weapon that Scathach showed him in the soul space—dead silence.
