Crossing The Dragon: The King Sacrifices The Princess At The Beginning

Entering the Royal City of Andrius.

It was different from the expected mess.

What comes into view is a wide and clean stone road.

This stone road must have been newly built, and the soil around the stone slabs showed signs of recent disturbance.

The pedestrians on the street were not as sallow and thin as Krach imagined.

Although they were not well-dressed and had a slight look on their faces, at least they seemed to be in good spirits. They did not have the numbness and misery that followed being exploited by the king's nobles. The merchants were constantly hawking, and the tavern was noisy. The sound was clearly audible across two streets.

The entire city shows a kind of prosperity that symbolizes strength.

Without a wise and powerful ruler, this scene would be very rare.

For the first time, Krech became curious about the king of Anrius.

Along the way, she also passed many other towns in Anlius.

But those cities gave her the same feeling as the countryside of Oguilar.

Under the oppression of the lords and nobles, the common people were living in dire straits, and the defenses of the towns were as weak as paper.

At that time, she had almost sentenced Anrius to death.

But what she saw now overturned her previous thoughts.

At least this king managed the royal city of Andrius well. She felt that King Andrius might be carrying out a reform, but at present this reform only affected the royal city and had not yet been implemented in the entire Andrius.

Follow the tall soldiers all the way.

The civilians on the street took off their hats and saluted, and many people also looked at Krech.

That obscene and greedy look appeared again, which made Krech admire the willpower of these soldiers even more.

After a while, they passed by a building made of wooden planks and red bricks. It looked different from the dilapidated tiled houses that could be seen everywhere on the streets. There were green plants planted around it and on the roof, and the tiles were cut into pieces. It's very neat, neatly arranged on the dome. Just looking at it makes you feel comfortable.

Krech saw men and women coming in and out of this kind of building from time to time. When they went in, their faces were sallow and they were hurriedly walking around, but when they came out, they were rosy and happy, which made her sigh:

"Your restaurant in Anlius is really beautiful...and the food inside should be very good. I saw that they all looked satisfied when they came out."

The leader of the dark orcs looked at Kraihe strangely when he heard this, and then said in a low tone:

"That's the Royal City toilet, not what you call a restaurant. Of course, if you have pica, you can pretend I didn't say this."

Krech: "..."

For a long time after that, Krech didn't speak again.

She was afraid that something would happen again.

It will not only be her face that will be embarrassed, but also Oguilar's face.

Along the way, she has gradually changed her attitude, treating herself as a real envoy who came to negotiate with Andrius, rather than an arrogant assassin who tried to break into the palace and kill the king.

Time flew by just looking around.

The line of soldiers in front suddenly stopped. They were divided into two columns and stood on both sides. Only the tall leader led her forward.

Krech suddenly realized that she had arrived under the cliff of the Andrius Palace.

It's different from what was described in the intelligence.

This royal palace built on a cliff with only one stone staircase to climb up is not a small and pitiful castle. Even though it has not yet been completed, its magnificent outer wall has already given Krech a great shock.

A thick city wall surrounds the palace, which is still under construction. Various exquisite and magnificent carvings are carved on the wall. The outer wall is made of giant black iron-core rocks, about forty feet high, with inscriptions carved on it. Various monsters:

The jungle wolf roars up to the sky, the ferocious-looking jackal holds a huge ax in his hand, the harpy spreads its wings in a flapping shape, and the rock-helmet crocodile opens its bloody mouth.

The lifelikeness of these sculptures not only requires the craftsmen to have exquisite carving skills, but also requires them to have seen these monsters hunting.

Krech could not imagine what kind of craftsman would go to the wilderness to learn this.

Are they desperate for their lives?

The central wall is about fifty feet high and made of gray marble.

There is a sentry tower more than three meters high on it.

There is one every ten meters.

It is worth mentioning that this kind of sentry tower is carved into the shape of a black dragon with its wings converged. When a soldier stands on the sentry tower, it feels like he is standing on the neck of a giant dragon.

The inner wall is higher, about sixty feet.

The whole thing is made of obsidian.

Krech could also see many craftsmen hammering on the interior walls.

It can be seen that this inner wall was erected only recently.

Four or five master sculptors were hanging ropes to depict tragic battlefield scenes on the obsidian walls:

Knights charge on horseback, mages chant magic, magic rings bloom behind them, swords strike each other, shields break, soldiers fight in bloody battles, black dragons breathe out blazing dragon breath in the dark clouds, and the battlefield is filled with smoke and smoke.

This group of master carvers are carving the scales on the black dragon. The black dragon wears a golden crown, has a majestic body, and seems to have a burning gemstone on its chest.

This was the first time that Kraihe had seen such a weird black dragon.

She didn’t understand why the king of Anlius carved the skeleton-thin black dragon into the appearance of a red dragon...

No, the muscles on the black dragon are simply more exaggerated than the red dragon!

Arriving in front of the palace gate, the tall soldier wearing a horned helmet roared. Kraihe didn't understand what he said specifically. It should be an instruction, but she had no time to care about it.

"Click—boom—"

The bronze door slowly rises.

The dust cleared.

I saw a team of armored knights standing on each side. They held three-meter-long sharp iron spears in their hands, crossing each other on the left and right.

But as the soldiers took her forward.

These knights raised their spears blocking the road one after another.

Then the heavy center door opened.

A red carpet road appeared in front of her. On both sides of the red carpet stood tall soldiers wearing horn helmets, who were no different from the soldiers leading the road beside her.

Next is the obsidian inner door.

There is a ferocious black dragon head carved on the door.

The door opens upward.

When Krech walked into the inner door, she suddenly felt two pairs of eyes. She looked up and almost screamed. She reached for her sword at her waist, but couldn't find it for a long time. Only then did she realize that her sword was there. Already handed in.

She saw a huge black dragon looking down at her.

The red-gold dragon eyes are like two scorching suns, the dark scales reflect the misty purple light, the sharp dragon claws dig into the obsidian ground, and the well-developed muscles are arranged in strict proportions like a work of art.

The black dragon's chest flashed with a ruby ​​burning in the lava. It was roughly estimated to be the size of a city gate in the inner wall.

If she hadn't felt the fiery aura and dragon power, and the dragon sculpture was motionless, she would have even thought that the dragon was real.

After all, how could there be a black dragon in the human kingdom?

The soldier knelt on one knee at the foot of the black dragon sculpture, lowered his head and did not move forward.

Kraihe's gaze passed through the black dragon's belly and he saw a middle-aged man with gray hair sitting on the huge throne.

Kraihe knew that he had finally met the rightful owner.

Hey hey hey
