Despite being known as a harsh and desolate frontier region, Chambord City is not as impoverished as many people imagine. On the contrary, nestled amidst verdant mountains and surrounded by the Great Zuli River, Chambord City is undoubtedly a place of scenic beauty and natural wonder.
It was afternoon, atop the city wall.
A troop of imposing soldiers, Long Spear in hand, patrolled along the parapet. Across the river in the distance, the grassland seemed to already feel the desolation of late autumn. The once lush green grass was now slightly withered and yellow, looking from afar like a golden carpet spread between heaven and earth, rising and falling in the wind. The low hills resembled waves, creating an extremely beautiful scene.
Sudden--
Thump thump thump!
A faint, distant drumbeat, carrying a strange rhythm and filled with the sharp, murderous aura of war, suddenly shattered the picturesque tranquility of the world, drifting out from the depths of the grassland.
"Stop!"
Captain Michael Ballack, who was walking at the front, tensed up and waved his hand, stopping the patrol of soldiers.
Ballack held his breath, straining to listen intently to the faint drumbeats. Gradually, his expression changed. Without a word, he leaped onto the city wall's battlements and gazed into the distance. There, where the golden grassland met the horizon, a dense cluster of flags appeared on the horizon, embroidered with different patterns and symbols, fluttering proudly in the wind. Then, a dark mass of figures, like countless ants, emerged from the horizon... It was an army.
"Who could it be?" Ballack asked in surprise.
The army that appeared on the horizon numbered at least several thousand, their armor gleaming, and their gleaming swords and spears reflecting a bright light in the sunlight. This army was clearly fully armed, and their arrival in Chambord City at this time was likely not for good. However, to avoid any misunderstanding, Ballack still ordered scouts to be released.
A swift horse galloped out of the city gate, across the stone bridge, and sped off towards the distant army.
At the same time, the troops inside the city began to urgently assemble on the city walls.
A dozen minutes later, the scouts finally rushed back. Although he hadn't received the most accurate report from the scouts yet, Ballack, standing on the city wall, had already seen the bloodstains on the scouts' bodies and the several broken arrows stuck in their backs. This explained everything—this suddenly appearing army was an enemy force.
"Sound the bell as a warning, and immediately report to Lord Brook!" Ballack's calm yet excited voice rang in the ears of every soldier.
Bang bang bang bang--!
The enormous bronze bell, hanging more than two meters high at the highest point of the Chambord City walls, was rung.
A tense atmosphere began to spread throughout Chambord City with the resounding tolling of the bells. The leisurely crowds on the streets paled and hurriedly rushed home. Several fast horses galloped towards the Chambord City Civil and Martial School and the Royal Palace. The atmosphere in the city instantly shifted from relaxed to tense. However, having already experienced the Black Armor Army's siege and endured the test of war, the people of Chambord City did not fall into panic or chaos. All preparations for war were proceeding in an orderly manner.
Ballack led his forty-odd soldiers out of the city gate and onto the stone bridge.
In the previous battle against the Black Armor Army, His Majesty China King displayed great power, relying on his formidable personal strength to sever the ancient stone bridge that had existed for countless years, creating a gap of more than ten meters. In the early days after the battle, the gap was connected with ropes and planks, but later, under the personal design and supervision of His Majesty the King, the rudimentary ropes and planks were removed, and a steel suspension bridge was built.
This suspension bridge is excellent for both offense and defense. It sits like a giant beast on the stone bridge, majestic and imposing, becoming the first perfect natural barrier for Chambord City to prevent enemy attacks.
Squeak squeak squeak!
Amidst the creaking and groaning of the massive steel wheel, eight iron chains, as thick as an adult's waist, slowly lifted the steel suspension bridge like eight enormous divine arms. A ten-meter-long gap reappeared on the stone bridge, beneath which the Zuli River surged and roared, emanating a chilling aura and a strange suction force, while gusts of eerie wind blew, chilling to the bone.
With such a breach, no army could possibly break through without paying the price of countless corpses flowing down the river.
"Archers... ready!"
Ballack drew his sword, licked his lips, and made no attempt to hide the excitement on his face. At this moment, Chambord City had quietly acquired a powerful military force unknown to anyone. As one of the twenty-three warriors who had participated in the Battle of Stone Bridge, and now one of the Silver Saint of Chambord City, he looked forward to a war from the bottom of his heart.
Let the entire empire see just how powerful Chambord City truly is!
Soldiers poured out of the city gates to provide support. Drogba, Ivanović, Essien, and other valiant generals, all of whom were considered Saint, led their elite troops to join the battle lines on the north side of the broken bridge. Meanwhile, atop the distant city gate, the two military and political leaders of Chambord City, Right Chancellor Best and the commander of the Urban Management army Gordon Brook, appeared calmly, having already received their reports and arrived below the watchtower.
That's an alarming reaction speed.
Everyone was waiting for the arrival of this mysterious enemy that had suddenly appeared.
The Underground Grotto Labyrinth City of Chambord City.
Springtime beauty shines brightly in the simple stone chamber.
Sun Fei almost closed his eyes as he peeled off the last piece of soft animal skin armor from Elena's body. Although his trembling fingers hadn't even touched her fair, hot, and alluring body, a warm and enchanting aura already wafted over him. In a daze, Sun Fei felt as if his soul had been burned by the face of the Valkyrie before him.
There was no time to hesitate any longer. Elena's condition was getting worse and worse. Sun Fei shook his head, bent down and held the female mercenary's delicate body tightly. A strange sensation came, and a warm and soft jade that he had never experienced before was like lightning, instantly making Sun Fei's whole body go numb, and his whole brain was in a state of shutdown.
The unconscious Valkyrie seemed to sense something, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
Sun Fei suppressed his lustful thoughts, took a deep breath, and quickly recalled the information he had gained in the Diablo World. He then quietly gazed at Elena's Goddess -like face and sighed inwardly. Just then, for some reason, the image of another pure and innocent girl suddenly appeared in his mind, but...
Gently parting the ' Valkyrie's' long, slender, and fair legs, Sun Fei finally gently thrust inside.
There was no time to savor the ecstasy of that moment. A heart-wrenching destructive force surged into Sun Fei's body from there. Although this was something Sun Fei had anticipated, the extreme pain that pierced his bones, as if his soul was being torn apart, still made Sun Fei let out a low roar in an instant. A hazy bloody mist spewed out from his body and filled the air.
Sun Fei finally understood the pain that Elena had been enduring.
It's unimaginable how such a delicate girl could endure such pain, and even while unconscious, she didn't utter a sound... This girl's strength instantly shocked Sun Fei!
He held the girl tightly in his arms as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.
Sun Fei channeled his Barbarian physical strength, trying his best to alleviate the excruciating pain. He could even clearly feel the four forces of electricity, fire, ice, and poison within Elena flowing into his own body. The pain, as if every cell in his body was being crushed into powder, was constantly generated by the struggle and conflict between these four forces.
Under this excruciating pain, ten times greater than the effects of the [ Hulk Potion ], every second felt like an eternity.
After an unknown amount of time, Sun Fei gradually noticed that the excruciating pain in his body was beginning to subside.
Soon, the four incompatible forces of ice, electricity, fire, and poison gradually ceased their conflict, like four heroes who, after a fight, finally shook hands and made peace, laughing and mingling together. The four forces circulated greatly within Sun Fei's body, and then, like a giant whale sucking in water, retreated completely back into Elena's body through the point where the two bodies were joined, disappearing without a trace.
The next moment, Sun Fei felt the body in his arms wriggle slightly.
This slight movement startled Sun Fei, instantly bringing him to his senses. He immediately realized how awkward their situation was, especially with his little brother still inside... Well, he was just about to say something, or even try to separate them, when suddenly a pair of smooth, pink arms reached out and tightly embraced Sun Fei.
He lowered his head.
I saw the female mercenary's beautiful eyelashes fluttering gently.
She was clearly awake long ago.
I also understood everything that had happened.
A single, crystal-clear tear slowly slid down the corner of that stunningly beautiful face.
However, from beginning to end, those jade-like arms that were holding Sun Fei never loosened their grip, tightly embracing his neck, making it difficult for Sun Fei Sun Fei breathe, as if they were afraid that if they let go, everything in their embrace would instantly vanish into nothingness.
"Hold me tight!" Elena whispered in Sun Fei's ear.
Like a passionately burning flame, Elena held Sun Fei tightly in her arms.
Her hot body clung desperately to Sun Fei, Sun Fei felt as if he were melting into a warm flame. The delicate body in his arms trembled slightly. At this moment, she was no longer the invincible magic archer on the summit of East Mountain, whose icy arrows shone with a chilling aura that obscured the Scorching Sun, but a timid yet brave little girl with a touch of inferiority.
Sun Fei suddenly realized.
He finally realized that he seemed to have been overlooking something all along.
His heart felt warm and tender, as if it had been drenched by something, melting and softening, turning into droplets that mingled with the body in his arms, becoming inseparable.
Alluring moans and gasps gradually rose and filled the stone chamber.
Elena raised her swan-like, fair and graceful neck high and low, and with a gentle wave of her hand, a curtain of sky-blue water enveloped the two of them. The azure light shimmered, illuminating the dark stone chamber as if it were Paradise.
These are the colors of dreams.
Knock one down.
Seeking all kinds of support.
