    The water spurted by the water column reached its peak, and then spread like rain on the people on the pier.  The fleet parked in the harbor shook violently due to the huge waves caused by the water column.  Suddenly, someone among the onlookers screamed: "Ah, my eyes!" A sailor who looked up could not help but cover his face and scream in pain because water droplets fell into his eyes.  At the same time, the other sailors also screamed. Whenever their exposed skin came into contact with the sprinkled seawater, they all blistered and fester, as if they had been bitten by poisonous insects.  Some of the sailors closest to the seaside were covered in water and their skin was rotten.  Some water fell onto the moored ship, and the ship's planks were corroded into small pits, and the sails were burned through, which shows how terrible the poison of the water is.  It was only then that everyone discovered that the water droplets were not the blue of sea water, but a terrifying dark gray.  "Lord Deneke, be careful!" When the water droplets fell, Deneke's followers quickly gathered around Deneke and blocked him.  Deneke pushed them away: "Don't block me!" He was not afraid of the water contaminated by the sea dragon's poison. What worried him most now was Gru coming out of the sea.  Is that guy dead?  How is Hai Long doing?  At this time, the person who was thrown into the air fell to the dock and smashed into a pile of logs with a bang.  The impact of the fall was so shocking that several thick logs were broken and the rest were scattered around.  The man was lying in a pile of broken wood, motionless, with a terrifyingly large sword thrown beside him. It was Gru.  He was thrown here by the impact of the sea, and was hit hard when he landed. Now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.  "It's the guy who broke in!" "Hurry, catch him!" The guards who came after hearing the news were worried that they couldn't find their target. Suddenly they saw Gru flying out of the sea. He would have fallen to at least half death just now.  , so they boldly surrounded him.  Everyone thought that Gru might only have half his life left, but Deneke had a solemn expression.  He knew very well how powerful Gru was, and he might not even be able to hurt him with that impact.  At this time, the guards gathered around Gru and saw that he closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless, as if he had fainted.  Several bold soldiers stepped forward, ready to surrender his weapons first.  They wanted to pick up the giant sword, but with the combined efforts of several people, they could only lift it a little bit with all their strength.  Several soldiers blushed and turned to the others: "This thing is so heavy, come and help." A few more people were about to step forward. At this moment, Gru, who had not moved, suddenly opened his eyes.  He grabbed the hilt of the sword.  ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that he would wake up suddenly, and the guards were all stunned.  The soldiers who raised their swords still kept bending and bending their knees, frozen there, with a look of fear on their faces.  "Waitwait a minute!" A guard blurted out almost subconsciously, but how could it be useful.  I saw Gru stirring the sword in front of him. The broad blade was like a meat grinder, instantly turning those unlucky soldiers into broken corpses.  I didn¡¯t expect that he could be so powerful. The guards around him were so frightened that they all backed away.  Although they all pointed their weapons at Gru from afar, their hands and feet were trembling, showing that they were extremely frightened.  Without looking at the people around him, Gru stood up and slowly took a few steps forward.  Suddenly he fell to one knee, propped himself up on the ground with his sword, and opened his mouth to spit out blood.  After forcibly stimulating the power of dragon blood in a state of severe hypoxia, Gru was still injured.  But at this moment, he was like a red-hot iron, exuding an extremely dangerous aura all over his body, as if he was warning that anyone who dared to step forward would only die.  The guards are all ordinary people, but their most basic instincts are still there.  Although Gru was seriously injured, no fool wanted to take advantage of it.  The scene where his companions were shattered to pieces in an instant has completely destroyed everyone's fighting spirit.  Just when thousands of pairs of eyes on the pier were all staring at Gru, the sea surface in the port splashed with a splash, and sea dragons also jumped out.  With his huge half body standing high, Hai Long's blood-red eyes were staring at Gru. His mouth was slightly open, and the wound where the teeth were pulled out was still bleeding from the corner of his mouth.  In the underwater battle, although Hailong won, a dragon tooth was pulled out by Gru.  Although its intelligence was limited, it also understood that this was a great shame and humiliation. The furious sea dragon chased out of the sea desperately, vowing to kill this enemy.  This move played into Gru's heart. He was no match for Hai Long in the water, but on land he didn't have to worry about breathing problems and could exert his full strength without any scruples.  Slowly stood up, Gru wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth with his wrist, holding the five fingers of the sword hiltAs soon as he tightened his grip, large black scales quickly covered his body, which was a sign that Gru was ready to fight with all his strength.  Hai Long felt an extremely dangerous aura from this weird person. However, since he was a dragon, his surname would not be afraid of any opponent.  Hai Long's eyes suddenly glowed red, and he let out a low growl that was half threatening and half excited.  A dragon and a half-dragon are fighting each other, and a new battle is about to break out.  ***************************************************  **************** At this moment when everyone was so nervous that they stopped breathing, they suddenly heard a loud shout: "Stop!" For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to the voice.  Looking in the direction it came from, it was Denek who spoke.  "Lord Deneke, what are you" Unexpectedly, Deneke would suddenly shout out, and all the followers around him were shocked.  Ignoring them, Denek walked directly to Gru.  His eyes were gloomy, and his solemn face showed the anger in his heart. The onlookers were all frightened by his strong momentum and moved aside one after another.  Walking not far from Gru, Deneke pushed his hand towards Hai Long from afar: "Get back." Although he was reluctant, under the control of Hades Crystal, Hai Long could not go against Deneke's will and could only lower his voice.  Roaring, he swam back dozens of meters and left the shore.  I don¡¯t understand why he wants to drink away Hailong, the only one who can fight against Gru. Everyone¡¯s heart is in their throats.  If Gru takes action at this time, nothing can stop him.  However, immediately after, Deneke said something that surprised everyone: "Let's go." "Sir Deneke, what are you" Kenwell shouted in confusion.  Denecke waved his hand to stop everyone who wanted to speak.  He followed him and said to Gru: "I didn't expect that it couldn't kill you in the sea. Every time I see you again, your increase in strength is scary." "However, you should know very well that on land  We can't kill the King of the Sea. There's no point in continuing the fight. How about we just give up?" Faced with Deneke's unexpected proposal, Gru said nothing and made no expression.  "In the past, if there was no hope of success in your actions, you would leave immediately and never engage in unnecessary entanglement." Deneke snorted, as if he was sneering: "It seems that after arriving on this continent, you will also learn to be entangled.  It's a bad fight." At this point, Denecke stopped talking and did not make any threatening words or actions.  He was well aware of Gru's character. This person would not accept soft or hard advice, and begging for mercy would be useless. Any threats to him would only have the opposite effect. Moreover, Denecke did not feel that anything could threaten him.  Therefore, he only expresses his opinions appropriately, and the rest is left to Gru to make his own judgment.  Based on his knowledge of Gru, this was the only possible way to make this monster stop.  The method is very simple, but the results are not guaranteed.  Sure enough, Gru's eyes narrowed slightly, showing an expression of thinking.  Although he is taciturn, he is not stupid. The situation in front of him is as Denecke said. He cannot kill the sea dragon on land, but with his strength alone, he cannot defeat the opponent in the sea. Even if he can barely fight, it will be nothing more.  It's just a pointless stalking.  As a top warrior, this move is obviously not in line with Gru's character.  Therefore, after thinking silently in his heart, Gru put away his sword and turned around and left without saying a word.  Seeing the enemy leaving, the sea dragon roared unwillingly, but without Denek's order, it had no choice but to continue to stay in the sea.  The guards around him were all watching Denek nervously, but it wasn¡¯t that they couldn¡¯t wait to catch up.  On the contrary, they were afraid that Denecke would give an order to pursue them. These people were not stupid, so naturally they were unwilling to do something that would mean death.  Fortunately, Denecke did not give the order to pursue him. Instead, he ordered: "Everyone, don't move." So although the guards seemed to be scolding Gru's back, they looked like they had no choice but to let the enemy leave.  In fact, I have already thanked the God of Luck countless times in my heart.  "President, this is a perfect opportunity to kill him, why did you let him go?" At this time, Kenwell walked up to Denek and asked in confusion.  Deneke snorted: "Have you ever thought about the price?" There are thousands of defenders in Bertoni Port, and the sailors and soldiers hired by the fleet also have considerable combat effectiveness. With Hailong by his side, as long as Deneke brings death with him,  If the spiritual mage takes action together, it is not impossible to kill Gru.  ¡°Denecke doesn¡¯t know this, but the price he has to pay is unbearable.  ¡°If a fight were fought regardless of the consequences, not to mention how many people would die, half of the ships in the port would probably be sunk, and the sea dragon would probably be damaged beyond repair.??damage.  More importantly, once Denek's identity as a necromancer is exposed, the fleet he has worked so hard to build may immediately fall apart, and the impact will be inestimable.  Even if he could really kill Gru, Denek would never be able to afford such a high price.  After all, he has a more ambitious goal, and it is impossible to use all his wealth to compete with a Gru.  Therefore, letting Gru leave is the best solution.  Understanding what Deneke meant, Kenwell said quickly: "Yes, my subordinates understand. But what should we do if he comes to attack the port again in the future?" After all, Deneke can't stay in Bertoni Port forever. If Gru comes to kill again  , they are absolutely irresistible.  Denecke said: "It seems that I guessed it right. Gru is working for the Sidonis sect. But don't worry, his target is our sea dragon." "But that guy is very stubborn. Before solving the target,  He won't waste time on anything else. I'll let Hailong go to sleep elsewhere, and he won't attack the port again." "That's good." Kenwell breathed a sigh of relief: "It took a lot of effort to build our fleet.  , if it is destroyed by him, it will be too worthwhile." "Deneck thought for a while, and then ordered: "To be on the safe side, you will lead the fleet to leave tomorrow, stay outside for a while, and then return to port after confirming that there is no danger.  "The fact that Deneke, who has always been confident, can become so cautious shows that Gru poses a huge threat that no one dares to take lightly.  After giving some more instructions to Kenwell, Denecke left Bertoni and went to meet Edward.  RaymondThorjust wait, I will take care of you soon!  ***************************************************  **************** The Tagali Mountains are located in the center of the Ravit Federation, north of the Jade Forest.  Since the Ferelden Town Alliance broke away from Lavitt's rule, it has become a natural border between the two countries.  There is a vast plain in the center of the mountains. When the Sidonis sect invaded the Lavit Federation, the coalition forces led by Raymond and Kailan set a trap here and annihilated tens of thousands of the sect's elite troops.  To this day, traces of the war at that time still remain on this plain. The burned-out camps have become decayed by the wind and the sun. In the wilderness overgrown with weeds, rusty swords and armor can be seen from time to time, and even white bones exposed in the soil.  .  There are thousands of souls of sect soldiers gathered here. It is so lifeless that it is a natural place for the undead. Naturally, it has become the best place for the army of the undead to garrison.  At this moment, the plains in the mountains are filled with gloomy air. Countless zombies and skeleton soldiers are wandering in the wilderness. Huge ghouls are sitting on the ground. Undead knights holding sabers are slowly walking among the corpses.  Above their heads, countless ghosts were circling in the sky like swimming fish.  "If someone enters this place by mistake, they may think they are in hell."  Half of the undead army led by Cyrus was defeated outside Ferelden City, and the magic circle was destroyed. They had to abandon a large number of low-level undead soldiers and take some high-level undead to join Edward.  Due to Cyrus's failure, Edward could only give up his plan to intercept Headington's main force and withdraw from the battlefield, allowing Headington's reinforcements to successfully join the Ferelden Alliance.  In this way, the previous strategy of "siege the city and fight for reinforcements" was completely bankrupt, and the Necromancer Guild lost its best opportunity to eliminate two major enemies in one fell swoop.  Subsequently, Edward sent his familiar to tell Denek the news.  He led the undead army to hide here, resting and waiting for the president to arrive.  The undead have no morale, so despite the disastrous defeat, the undead army was still the same as before and was not affected at all.  However, the Necromancer is thoughtful.  At this moment, the ruins of a burned camp built on a hillside became the temporary residence of the Necromancer.  The sky is overcast with clouds, and rain is falling. The mountains and plains in the distance are shrouded in hazy rain. There is a chill in the air, and the undead are wandering in the rain.  The ruins of the camp were dilapidated. In a slightly intact house, the necromancers gathered together.  Drizzle floated into the house from the holes in the roof, and the water droplets from the eaves hit the stone slabs on the ground, making a monotonous ticking sound. The outside was gray and the cold wind blew, revealing a dull and gloomy atmosphere.  The necromancers in the room were all silent, perhaps because there was only a piece of skin left on their faces. They were shaped like skeletons and could not see their expressions. Only the ghost fire in their eye sockets was beating and flickering.  Edward and Cyrus remained in human form. Edward sat in the corner of the room, avoiding the raindrops leaking from the roof. While looking at the necromancers coldly, he gently tapped the wood under him with his fingers.    Probably due to the disastrous defeat, the always arrogant Cyrus sat in another corner with his eyes closed.  His face was pale and listless. It was obvious that the destruction of half of his clone had a great impact on him.  No one in the room spoke, and the air was so heavy that it seemed like it could drip water.  After a while, Edward sneered and said, "Why is no one talking? Are you all asleep?" Necromancers don't need sleep, and his words were obviously mocking.  The necromancers who had been sitting still looked at each other to show that they had not yet turned into statues.  "We have an absolute advantage, but we suffered such a disastrous defeat. What do you think we should do to explain to the president?" Edward continued.  Hearing him mention Denec, the necromancers clearly showed fear.  A necromancer said cautiously: "Although we did not eliminate Headington's reinforcements, we destroyed all the areas outside Ferelden City. The food of the refugees alone was enough to bring down Thorz" He didn't say anything.  After finishing, he was interrupted by Edward: "Do you think the president will care about this?" Since killing the former president Lorraine, Denek's prestige in the Necromancer Guild has reached its peak.  In addition, his rule is extremely strict, and the necromancers are extremely afraid of him.  This time, the mission assigned by Denecke was messed up, and the losses were heavy. Everyone knew that there would be no good results.  The only question now is who will bear the main responsibility.  This person naturally cannot be Edward, so it must be one of the others.  At this time, a necromancer finally couldn't help but said: "I think the main reason is that the people responsible for the siege of Ferelden City were too careless. As a result, they were attacked by Haddington's reinforcements. The magic circle was destroyed and even the troops could not be saved. Otherwise,  How could we fail?" As soon as these words came out, the necromancers who escaped from the village that night were not happy.  One of them immediately said: "We will be attacked by surprise, not because you did not take good care of Headington's army and let their people get behind us, otherwise they would not succeed!" "Nonsense!" Edward's Necromancer said angrily.  : "You are incompetent, so why do you still blame us?" "What are you talking about! It's obvious that you failed to fulfill your responsibilities!"  For a moment, the two groups of necromancers started to quarrel for the first time.  In the eyes of ordinary people, this group is mysterious and represents the existence of fear and death. At this moment, they are blaming each other to avoid responsibility. I don¡¯t know what outsiders will think.  It seems that some things will not change even if you become undead.  (To be continued.)
