Chapter 695 Investigation

The rain is getting heavier.

The gray cat sneaked around the fort. Fortunately, perhaps because of the dragon just now, the fortress was in chaos at the moment, and the goblins fled tremblingly, and the situation of the others was not much better. They yelled something loudly, and then ran around desperately. The scene was chaotic and even a bit comical.

As a mature ranger, Gray's attainments in stealth are still good. Although not as good as Ben's wanderer, he also easily took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the inside of the fortress, and then came to an abandoned tower. Cautiously avoiding the shouting goblin patrols, he crouched in the shadows and looked down.

On the square, a red dragon was lying there, and on top of the red dragon stood a strange humanoid creature. Its skin was yellow like a toad with black spots, it had no nose, and there were only two faces facing the sky. nostrils.

Githyanki.

Gray immediately recalled the information obtained during the teaching of Judgment Blade. In order to let the Judgment Blade team distinguish between human beings and aliens, the instructor at that time took out a lot of racial materials, including elves, dwarves, tieflings and aspens. Modu are classified as a race of demihumans, while githyanki are a race of xenomorphs. Because their skulls are more slender and elongated than that of humans, and their tooth structures are also different... Well, the criteria for distinguishing human beings by the Tribunal is so simple and crude, as long as they conform to the shape of human skulls, they are humans and demihumans. Everything else is alien.

At this moment, the githyanki stood on top of the red dragon, looking at the mountain giant leader in front of him. They were arguing loudly, as if they were talking about something. But because the rain was too loud, I couldn't hear it clearly. Gray hesitated for a moment, slowly lurking in the shadows, and once again came to the edge area on the other side.

Obviously, the two people were getting louder and louder. Although the rain was heavy, as Gray approached, he could still hear the conversation between the two.

"The true god is very dissatisfied with your sacrifice! Stupid bastard! He needs more sacrifices!"

"This is not my fault!"

Facing the accusation of the githyanki, the leader of the mountain giant was equally angry.

"There are no smelly humans here! Everything that should be there has been captured! The surrounding area has been captured!"

"You must give your allegiance to the true God! Or do you want to become a walking dead like your predecessor?"

"It's not our fault!"

Facing the accusation from the githyanki envoy, the mountain giant roared angrily. If he hadn't been afraid of the red dragon under him, he would have grabbed this little man with his nostrils upturned (literally) and bit him to pieces.

"No, it's just not!"

At this moment, even Gray could hear that the mountain giant was approaching the verge of hysterical anger. He had no doubt that the next moment the other party would clenched the big stick in his hand and smashed it down at that arrogant githyanki.

"Do you want us to attack human cities?!"

"That's a good idea."

Hearing the roar of the mountain giant, the Githyanki suddenly became calm. He smiled and stared at the mountain giant in front of him, as if he had heard some good news.

"Yes, you will attack Baldur's Gate, completely destroy that city, and then capture all humans as sacrifices..."

"impossible!"

The leader of the mountain giant suddenly waved the wooden stick that was as thick as an ancient wood in his hand, and the huge wooden stick whizzed past the githyanki's head, but the githyanki remained motionless. I don't know if the leader of the mountain giant was merciful, or the githyanki had expected that he would not dare to do anything to him.

"Humans, the city is very big, it is difficult to capture!"

"Don't worry, I will give you strength."

The githyanki's voice suddenly softened.

"The Supreme True God has decided to give you an incomparable honor. You will be tireless, fearless, and fight to the death for the True God... This is an honor..."

"you!!"

Hearing this, the leader of the mountain giant seemed to have thought of something, and his originally full of spirit trembled. At the same time, Gray also found that the situation seemed to have changed. The cold air around him was getting heavier and heavier. He originally thought it was because of the rain, but soon Gray found that the chill was beyond the scope of what a rainy day should have been. Then, a scene that shocked Gray appeared in front of him.

On the square, countless dark, icy tentacles suddenly sprang out from the dark shadows on the ground, and they tightly entangled the goblins, mountain giants and orcs in the square. And these monsters also screamed loudly and painfully. They struggled desperately, trembling, trying to break free from these tentacles, but to no avail. Even the leader of the mountain giant roared and swung his stick for a while. It seemed that he had decided not to give in, and swung at the Githyanki and his pet red dragon——————————————————————————————————————————————

The angry stick of the leader of the mountain giant suddenly fell weakly on the ground on the way, his burly and powerful arm was hanging limply by his side, not only it, but also all the monsters on the square, they were dumbfounded Standing there with blank eyes, it was as if their struggle and resistance just now were fake.

What, what's going on here?

Seeing this scene, Gray only felt a little dizzy, and he even began to doubt his eyes. Because Gray could clearly see that just now, those monsters were still screaming, jumping and picking up weapons, trying to fight the githyanki under the leadership of the mountain giant leader, but the next moment, they were neatly Standing there, just standing there, bowing his head motionless, like a well-trained guard, as if the chaotic farce just now had never happened.

Could it be that I am dazzled?

The situation is not right, very wrong.

A chill ran up Gray's spine, and he felt fear. At this moment, he really felt some kind of fear. Maybe he really shouldn't be here, and he should leave as soon as possible. In fact, this information alone is enough. He suddenly felt that Ben was right. Soldiers must do what soldiers should do. Now he is no longer a lone ranger. Behind him is the Tribunal and the Blade of Judgment. , he can report this matter to his superiors and ask them to send someone...

Gray stepped back cautiously, but his luck was not good. The tower building in disrepair seemed to have reached its limit in the storm. With a soft "crash", the tower under Gray's feet suddenly collapsed the next moment, and Gray also screamed and fell heavily.

Fortunately, his mind was still clear, and he rolled over and stood up almost the moment he landed, but at this moment he also found himself in the most desperate situation.

"I didn't expect that there was actually a little mouse here."

The githyanki stared at Gray coldly, and the red dragon under him had already opened its mouth wide, viciously locking the prey in front of it.

"Although I don't know who you are, but... that's it."

Accompanied by the githyanki's words, the red dragon opened its mouth, and then a burst of flames spurted out, blasting towards Gray.

At this moment, Gray's heart was ashamed, he could feel the heat wave that was enough to turn him into charcoal, but he couldn't do anything, he could only stand there blankly, watching the flames rushing towards him .

However, at this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared, and a shining shield appeared in front of Gray, blocking the breath from the red dragon. At the same time, Ben's voice rang in Gray's ear.

"Run, kid!!"

Gray's body recovered much faster than his consciousness. When Gray came back to his senses, he had already turned his head and rushed into the forest with big strides. The hard thorns scratched his clothes and body, but at this moment These burning pains made Gray more awake.

He opened his eyes and looked ahead, and soon saw Ben and the rest of his team.

"You guys, why would you..."

"Idiot, do you think you are the only one who wants to make meritorious service? Go away! If you don't leave, we will really turn into a pile of barbecue!"

As if to verify Ben's words, the angry roar of the githyanki came from the air.

"You bloody bastards! Never get out of here! Catch them—————————————————————————!!!"

Following the orders of the Githyanki, the mountain giants, goblins and other monsters who had been standing in the square moved quickly and rushed into the forest.

Gray and his group ran sullenly. Their situation was very miserable. The red dragon hovered above their heads, spewing flames from time to time, burning the forest. And behind them, those mountain giants and goblins didn't care about the flames at all, chasing them like death squads.

"Damn, what's up with these goblins?"

Another warrior slashed a charging goblin to death with a backhanded blow, complaining at the same time.

"When encountering this kind of thing on weekdays, they are absolutely scared away. How can they be so brave?"

"I don't know, but I saw them, they seemed to have become something else... I don't know what something did to them..."

Gray also turned his head and shot an arrow, piercing the eye of a mountain giant, but the mountain giant still walked steadily, and didn't even pull out the arrow in his eye, as if it didn't exist at all.

"Well, at least you really got something, not letting us take risks for nothing."

Ben complained, shoving the mage in front of him.

"Send a signal, send a signal!"

The mage raised his staff, and soon a firework shot from the staff, rushing into the sky and becoming a dazzling skull symbol. And they quickly left the position where the fireworks were released, because the flames fell from the sky the next moment, turning the ground where everyone was originally into a sea of ​​flames.

"It's several days away from Arkham City, they can't see it at all!"

"I've handed in the report a long time ago, logically speaking, the reinforcements are already on their way..."

Having said this, Ben raised his head again and subconsciously looked at the sky, and after that, his expression suddenly brightened.

"Hey, here they come!!!"

Hearing Ben's shout, Gray also raised his head, and then he saw through the gaps in the leaves, a figure shining with bright red flames crossed the entire night sky like a meteorite, and then it just hit the red dragon's head body!
