Sword of Dawn

As soon as they fought, the experienced veterans had already realized this. The equipment on their bodies showed unimaginable good performance in the face of the pressure caused by the deformed body. They were completely able to fight head-on, so after shaking the line for a while, it immediately stabilized, and even began to force back those monsters that had rushed out of the minefield.

Knight Byron even had to yell from behind: "Don't go too far! Don't go over the fence - watch yourself fall into the trap!"

Gawain casually chopped down a charred deformed body that was blown up, and noticed that the suspense in this battle was over. Even without his own help, the soldiers in the camp led by two knights were enough to deal with all the enemies.

So he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to look back at Rebecca's situation, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed that a dozen aberrations on the east side of the battlefield stopped in the process of rushing towards the defense line. The faceless flesh and blood giant seemed to "smell" something, and suddenly raised its head in unison, "looking" in a certain direction.

Afterwards, they ran towards that side—— completely ignoring the guards who were close at hand and full of magical reactions!

Gawain was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that there was something in that direction: it was the camp where the "Dragon Egg Stone Ball" was stored!

They sensed the breath of that "dragon egg"?That "dragon egg" is even more attractive to them than living people and magical reactions? !

These speculations suddenly popped up in Gao Wen's mind, and this unexpected situation also made him break out in a cold sweat. He immediately yelled at Rebecca: "Take your guards and follow!"

Before Rebecca could respond, he ran towards the tent where the stone ball was stored.

Of course there are guards around the camp, but due to the shortage of manpower, and the aberrations are easily attracted by the gathered human breath and magic power breath, most of the combat power is concentrated on the defense line in the southwest of the camp. The soldiers around the "Dragon Egg Tent" were only a small group of militiamen, and they were recruits who had just completed training. With their fighting power, they would definitely not be able to stop those monsters.

Soon, those deformed bodies crossed the not very long distance. The soldiers around the dragon egg tent had already seen this scene from a distance. rules.

A militiaman leveled his spear with trembling hands and feet, trying to recall the few simple movements of confronting the enemy that he managed to remember two days ago, but at this moment, a sound as if the cloth was being torn came from behind him .

The militiaman didn't dare to take his eyes off those deformed bodies at first, but he couldn't help but want to look back. In the end, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity about the sound behind him, so he quickly turned his head—— The moment he turned around, his eyes widened.

He saw that a dozen meters away, the curtain that was originally tied to the tent was torn open, and a huge stone ball with a diameter of about 1.5 meters was poking out from between the two curtains. The next second, he noticed this. The stone ball turned out to be floating in the air!

Reminiscent of the strange characteristics of this stone ball, the militiaman immediately subconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand, but this time the stone ball did not have any intention of attracting the surrounding metal. Let out a scream with a metallic trill: "What the hell?!"

It seemed to "see" the aberrations rushing towards it.

The militiamen in charge of guarding the tents have noticed the movement of the stone ball at this moment. The monster rushing in the distance and the stone ball making strange noises behind them made these new recruits who had just been armed and completed basic training a mess. The captain didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him, but at this moment, they saw a tall figure covered in pale white light approaching rapidly from another direction.

That was Gawain who started the knight's charge, and behind Gawain was Rebecca and a small group of family warriors.

Gawain saw the stone ball floating at the entrance of the tent from a distance, this weird scene almost caused him to stagger and fall on the way of charging, and immediately after him he heard the stone ball making a piercing sound: " Help! Monster! What is this all about!!”

It turns out that this thing can make sound? !

At this time, Gao Wen didn't bother to analyze the reason behind that damned "dragon egg". He decided to give up thinking in this too weird situation, and then he stepped hard, and after a high jump, he activated the knight's signature skill One, Champion Slash.

His whole body was surrounded by a glaring white light in the air, and thousands of degrees of energy flames suddenly ignited on the long sword, and then fell from the sky like a meteor, slashing fiercely on the head of a monster.

This flesh and blood giant was directly hit by the champion's slash, and it was instantly split in two. Before the two halves could even be completely separated, they were already burned into two scattered ashes by the high temperature, and the remaining shock waves generated by the slash continued. Moving forward, leaving a deep gully.

Gawain's sudden outburst of powerful energy temporarily disrupted the perception of the surrounding aberrations, and they hesitated for a while in confusion. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gawain quickly shouted at the stone ball in the distance: " Hurry up and hide! There are monsters outside!"

"Oh my god!" Shi Qiu screamed, "It's just such a tent that can collapse when blown, it's useful to hide!"

Gawain dodged to the side suddenly, dodged the claws of a deformed body, and stabbed out with a backhand sword. At the same time, a fireball the size of a washbasin flew past him less than half a meter away. , blowing up half of the other deformed body that was trying to sneak attack, and threw it backwards.

Gawain took advantage of the situation to deal with the unbalanced monster. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Rebecca had arrived at the edge of the battlefield under the guard of soldiers. She raised her left hand high, and another huge fireball formed in her hand. Throwing the fireball upwards, he grasped the staff with both hands and swung it half a circle vigorously, sending the fireball flying with a bang: "My lord ancestor! I'll help you contain them!"

Girl, there is obviously something wrong with your fireball training!

But at this time, Gao Wen didn't have the time to ask Rebecca how she practiced her fireball technique, because he noticed that the aberrations running in the front were already very close to the tent and the stone ball, and a militiaman rallied. With the courage to stab the spear to try to stop the enemy, but was hit by the chaotic energy arrow released by another aberration in the distance, and the whole person was blown out, but seeing that the shield on his body still had a gleam of light, it shouldn't be too late. As for dying.

The stone ball floating in the air and less than half a meter above the ground screamed in fright. It scurried around quickly, trying to avoid the deformed bodies rushing from all directions, but in front of ten times the number of enemies, it However, there was less and less space to dodge. In the end, there was really no place to hide. The stone ball could only let out a scream mixed with metal trills, and then the floating height suddenly increased by more than ten meters——

Gao Wen thought that this guy was going to fly away, but he didn't expect it to lose stamina just halfway through the flight, and fell down like a meteorite again.

With a loud "bang", a monster under the stone ball was hit on the head just like that. This unlucky mutant didn't even have time to make any noise before it was smashed into the ground, and the entire pit was sunken at least one meter.

Just like when it attracted three soldiers before, even Gawain couldn't push the stone ball - this is its true weight.

Not to mention Gao Wen was stunned, even Shi Qiu was stunned.

But the monsters around were not stunned, they could only sense that their prey was in front of them, so they pounced on the stone ball again the moment it hit the ground.

So the stone ball screamed again, tried again to launch itself into the sky, failed again, smashed an enemy into the ground again...

Gao Wen shook the Pioneer Sword in his hand, and suddenly felt that there was no need for him to rush to the rescue.

I'm afraid it's really the end of the world, and this crazy guy may not be okay...

The soldiers who rushed over and the militiamen who stayed around the tent could only watch this slightly funny scene with weird expressions. The stone ball suspected of being a dragon egg screamed in horror and smashed the attacking monsters to death one by one. On the ground, the brainless aberrations threw themselves into this hot land one by one like gourd babies queuing up to save Grandpa—until the last three monsters remained, Gawain suddenly noticed the stone ball "take off" When the height changed to less than two meters, he immediately drew his sword and stepped forward to finish off the last enemy.

The stone ball that killed more than a dozen deformed bodies slowly floated out of the pile of monsters. It floated only a dozen centimeters above the ground. It was obviously exhausted. After confirming that there were no more enemies around, it finally let go. Tone: "Oh my god, I was scared to death..."

Gao Wen: "..."

Chapter 0091 What the hell hatched

Thus ended the crisis.

As the last monster wailed and fell to the ground under Knight Philip's sword, there were no living mutants to be seen on the battlefield, only the scattered bones that were constantly decomposing and a group of soldiers who were almost exhausted remained.

There were no new monsters rushing out of the mountain, and the thunder-like loud noise was no longer heard from the direction of the dark mountain range.

Just like that, after a full half a minute, Knight Byron took the lead and was the first to cheer.

Then came the soldiers, the militiamen, and then the civilians and serfs in the camp. Cheers echoed down the south bank of the Whitewater River, and everyone knew the victory—and for those who had experienced the disaster of Old Cecil In other words, this victory has a particularly extraordinary significance.

Those who made the plan knew how much time and place, how much luck and risk, and how many uncontrollable variables were involved in this victory, but most ordinary people didn't know it. They only knew that there were hundreds of monsters coming from the south. The number of these monsters was almost ten times that of the combatants in the camp, but in less than half a day, all of these monsters had been wiped out, and not even one of them broke into the fence wall of the camp.

The huge psychological pressure vented into carnival-like cheers at this moment. Even Amber, who had just returned to the camp with Heidi, couldn't help being infected, and celebrated with the cheers.

After cheering for a while, she noticed that Gawain was not with everyone, so she grabbed the little maid Betty who was passing by—the latter was holding a bunch of potion bottles and following the druid. Behind Pittman: "Where's your master?"

Betty shook her head loudly: "I don't know!"

"He's in the camp to the south," Pittman stopped, turned his head and said quickly, "it seems that the dragon egg is in trouble again. Oh, I won't tell you, I'll send the medicine there first—there are many wounded Woolen cloth!"

The little old man ran away quickly with the little maid. Amber looked around and felt that there was really nothing wrong with her, so she disappeared into the shadows in a flash.

In the tent in the south of the camp, Gawain and Rebecca had long heard the cheers resounding throughout the camp: The general situation has been settled, and this crisis has been safely passed.Just now, Knight Byron sent someone to inquire about the follow-up arrangements. Gawain sent a message to let the two knights do the aftermath of the battlefield first, while he and Rebecca stayed here temporarily, facing this suspected "dragon egg" stone ball.

The corpses of the monsters outside the tent are rapidly disintegrating, and the remaining skeletons are collected by the soldiers and piled up, waiting for natural decomposition. However, the stone ball that just showed its power has returned to the tent at this moment, and it is now floating quietly At a height of several tens of centimeters from the ground, there was an awkward confrontation with Gao Wen.

"To be honest, I was really scared to death just now." The stone ball was shaking on the spot, and a metallic trembling sound came from inside, "Those are... aberrations, right? Why are they all coming at me all of a sudden?" ..."

"I don't know what attracts them to you, but you killed more than a dozen monsters by yourself. Would you be ashamed to say that you were frightened?" Gawain squinted at this strange big ball , "And after a long time, you can not only move by yourself, but also talk... So you have been pretending before?"

The stone ball is not ashamed at all (of course it is impossible to see the expression on its surface): "Is it wrong to have a strong sense of self-preservation? I don't know your intentions, so naturally I should keep a low profile first. Originally, I wanted to I observed for two more days, but today I suddenly heard commotion outside, and the number of guards was much less, so I wanted to quietly come out to check the situation... I didn't know that the moment I moved, all those monsters would come !"

Gawain nodded, he had already figured out the whole process: the stone ball obviously suppressed some kind of "activity" of his own before, so the sense of existence was thin, and even Pittman discovered it by coincidence But today the monster attacked, this stone ball thought it might be an opportunity, so it desperately wanted to run out, but the breath leaked out as soon as it moved—this leaked breath may not be a big deal to human beings , but to those aberrants who prey on the life reaction and magic power reaction, it is as conspicuous as a bright light in the night, and in the eyes of those monsters, the life and magic power reaction of this stone ball are obviously more "delicious", Then the unexpected happened.

Fortunately, everything was safe and sound in the end.

After thinking this through, Gawain couldn't help but look up and down at the psychopath in front of him who almost succeeded in killing himself: "So are you going to run now? Let me tell you, those monsters are just a small wave wandering over, you have to run to them Under the nose, no one can protect you."

Rebecca next to her heard that her ancestors were scaring people... Dan, but Shi Qiu didn't know the real situation, so she was naturally frightened: "Hey - I won't run, this place is too dangerous. And then again... I kind of believe what you said earlier now."

"Oh?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, "What do you believe?"

"You and the people who took me into the laboratory...should really be different."

Gawain found it interesting, and just wanted to ask how it made its judgment, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw an amber popping out from the shadow of the corner of the tent. He bluffed and asked, "How did you find out this time?"

The stone ball floated up and down: "You are much poorer than those people back then. Such a big camp doesn't even have a magic cannon, so it must not be a group of people..."

A vein twitched on Gawain's forehead, but he heard Rebecca nodding thoughtfully beside him: "Oh, that makes sense..."

Hu Po moved to Gao Wen's side with a shadow step, and lowered her voice: "Seriously, if I were you, I would have driven this shameful descendant out of the house the day after the coffin was unveiled..."

A shame of all things dare to say that others are ashamed?

Gao Wen glared at Amber, then turned his head to look at the stone ball floating in the air: "So you are finally willing to believe what I told you that day?"

"Wait, I just believe that you are not the same group of people back then, and I didn't believe all of your words, especially 1000 years ago... I have to confirm this carefully," Shi Qiu said with a special air He shook his body, and then continued with a bit of difficulty, "Of course, I basically believe that you have no malicious intentions now, well, I remember that you came here to save me just now."

This attitude is still a little bit awkward, but it is much better than before. Gawain knew that he could not force this mysterious sphere rescued from the laboratory and had been brutally treated by the Imperials to trust others easily, so he ordered it. Nodding: "Okay, trust can be built up slowly, let's... oh wait, turn to the side for me to see—turn left, turn left."

Amber and Rebecca came over curiously when they heard Gawain's words, while the stone ball was spinning inexplicably: "Why? Is there something on me?"

The stone ball turned a little bit to the side, and Amber finally knew what Gao Wen had discovered.

On the side of the lower half of the stone ball, a small piece of the originally solid and dense shell between rock and metal fell off at some point, and several long cracks spread from the broken place, extending to the waistline of the sphere.

"Your shell seems to be cracked," Rebecca said, blinking her eyes, and carefully pointed to the cracked part of the ball with her staff, "Doesn't it hurt you?"

"Ah?" The stone ball seemed to notice the crack on its shell, and its tone was a little flustered, "Ah! It must have been broken when it fell from the sky several times before!"

"Is it okay if your shell is cracked?" Gao Wen was suddenly a little worried, "Shall I find a stonemason or blacksmith to repair it for you?"

"... Tsk, forget it, anyway, it's time for me to break out of the shell, and you are not an enemy." Shi Qiu seemed to think about it, and then shook his body, "Stay back, I want to come out of the shell. "

Amber's eyes widened immediately: "Wait! You said you want to break the shell?! Then wait! I have to call someone!"

The half-elf lady bluffed and dropped this sentence, and before anyone at the scene could react, she rolled back into the shadows, leaving Stone Ball and Gawain staring at each other, and Stone Ball was silent for a few seconds Zhong Cai said, "Then can I get out?"

"Wait a minute, she will definitely be here soon," Gawain couldn't grasp the half-elf's train of thought, so he could only say casually, "She always has her own ideas."

After a while, Amber ran back in a hurry, and also pulled Heidi and Pittman.

The two were apparently dragged over in a daze.

"Ancestor, what happened here?" Hetty saw the stone ball floating in the air as soon as she came in, and then she looked at Gawain, "Just now Amber hurriedly said that the dragon eggs were about to hatch, but I didn't understand... ..."

As soon as Pittman came in, he noticed the detachment and crack marks on the lower part of the stone ball, and the little old man immediately exclaimed: "My God! This dragon egg is about to hatch!"

"Yes, yes!" Amber was excited as if she was about to break out of the shell, "So I called you two over here! By the way, will you two take care of the little dragon?"

The two people who were forcibly pulled here were stunned for a moment, and Gao Wen immediately thought about whether to throw the amber out now, but the stone ball had no patience to wait for these strange people to mess around. There was a strange humming sound, as if it was charging, and the surface of the sphere trembled violently. The dense and rough shell material continued to crack during the tremors. Starting from the falling off part of the lower half of the sphere, one piece after another The "shell" of a piece begins to peel off its surface.

Everyone stopped talking. They looked at this mysterious sphere with expressions of surprise and expectation, waiting for the moment when the life inside it broke out of its shell.

Finally, accompanied by a series of crackling sounds, the sphere was quickly covered with fine cracks, and then all the shells exploded with a "bang"!

The shell of the stone ball fell off.

Inside was a smooth metal ball.

The metal ball shook: "How is it? Am I bright?"

It was only at this moment that Pittman realized that the whole process of cracking the shell was over. He stared dumbfounded at the metal ball floating in mid-air: "Ah, isn't it... this is the end? Are you sure you have come out of the eggshell?"

Metal Ball: "Confirm."

"But you're still an egg!" The old Druid's tone seemed to be going crazy, "You're still an egg! Did you agree to be a dragon egg?"

Rebecca stared blankly at the silvery-white ball floating in front of her, before she said for a long time: "So this is actually a ball..."

Chapter 0092 Nicholas Egg

To be honest, this metal egg hatched from a stone egg is really bright. It looks a little smaller than before, but it still has a diameter of about 1.3 meters. Its surface is pure silver white, extremely smooth like a mirror , the smooth spherical surface even has a feeling of industrial precision polishing, it just floats in the air less than half a meter from the ground, and a BB mixed with metal trills comes out from the sphere: "I will never accept this name! Is it a name! Open your eyes and take a good look at it, how do I look like an egg—and when did I say that I am an egg?!"

"We always thought you were a dragon's egg..." Rebecca circled around the metal ball like a curious cat, and from time to time dared to poke it up with a stick (it's amazing that the ball didn't respond No response), "I didn't expect you to be hatched from the egg and still be an egg... Isn't the egg of the egg just the egg?"

The metal ball buzzed and vibrated, and the voice sounded exasperated: "You just hatched as an egg! Your whole family is called Dandan! I have always been like this, and our whole family has been like this since we grew up!"

Gao Wen tried his best to suppress the twitching of his face, and forcibly suppressed the tendency of the three views to collapse with countless years of satellite elite cultivation. He struggled to maintain his rationality and composure, and tried to communicate with the metal egg in front of him: "You just said Your whole family? Are there many other...creatures like you? What are you...what? Why have I never seen a strange life like you?"

No matter what this ball is, it is unlikely to be a dragon, but Gawain can be sure that he has never heard of such a strange life form in this world—if it is really a life form.The shape of this metal sphere is completely different from all creatures in this world. If it really evolved naturally on this land, then it and its race could not hide from Gawain, the pair of creatures that have been hanging in the sky for countless years. Eye.

Unless it's in those time periods of Gawain's "fragments".

Yuanqiu heard Gao Wen's question, but didn't cooperate very much: "You have involved my secret, I'm not sure if I can trust you barbarians - and you have to say your name clearly before saying anything. , even if you beat me to death, I can’t be called Eggy..."

"Do you have a name yourself?" At this time Hetty asked curiously from the side, which was considered to be on point.

"Name... eh, yes, I should have a name," the metal egg stood still in the air and tried to think, "Oh my god... forgot."

Everyone: "..."

Gao Wen: "You don't even remember your own name, so what if someone else named you one?!"

The metal ball's tone was suddenly particularly harsh: "Then I'm not called Eggy anyway."

The veins on Gao Wen's forehead couldn't help popping out again: "Could it be that I have to call you Saint Nicholas Eggy?"

The metal ball was stunned for a moment, and then it shook from side to side in satisfaction: "Oh? That's a good name..."

Gao Wen felt that communicating with this ball would consume his lifespan at three times the speed, and he also remembered that there are a lot of troublesome things outside that need to be dealt with by himself, so he shook his head: "Okay, in a word, if you Be honest for the day, we just had a monster attack and I have a whole bunch of follow-up trouble to deal with - I don't want you adding more mess to me in the meantime."

The metal egg landed slowly, and lay down in the pit where it had been before: "Alright, alright, you are busy with your work, I am too lazy to run around - I almost died of exhaustion after all the tossing around today..."

Gao Wen looked at this silver-white "giant egg" with some doubts, wondering whether this guy could really keep quiet and do nothing, but considering that this guy had just experienced a thrilling and failed "escape" , it is estimated that it will not try a second time in a short time, so I just believe it.

It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, there are still many things to deal with in the camp, and you can't spend all your time messing with a ball.

A group of people left the tent, and Hetty couldn't help but look back at the tent curtain that had been tied up again before leaving: "Shall we just leave that ball there?"

Although what she said seemed to be worried that the ball would cause trouble, her eyes were full of curiosity and exploration. As a mage and a researcher, Hetty had endless interests in the "unknown", and A floating, talking metal sphere was definitely more "unknown" than any "unknown" she had encountered in her life.To be honest, if it wasn't for the responsibility and the possibility that the ball would not cooperate, she really wanted to transport that big ball to her laboratory right now—she could study it for half a month in one go.
