Dragon Bone Wasteland, Loess City.
Today is a day worth celebrating, and the whole of Loess City is bustling with excitement.
Centaurs run through the streets, distributing coins to the onlookers around them.
Although most of the coins are just copper, the unexpected windfall has everyone singing their praises.
These centaurs are under the command of Par, the City Lord of Loess City, and they wouldn’t be doing good deeds for no reason.
The reason they’re doing this is simple: today is a day of great joy for their city lord, Par.
Today, Par is going to marry Rita, the leader of the Swift Spear Clan. That’s why they’re celebrating and handing out money all around.
After sending off a bunch of friends and guests, a heavily drunk Par is helped back to his earthen house by Rita.
The wedding celebrations of the centaurs are wild, and Rita, the bride, has had no less alcohol than Par.
But it seems that Par’s tolerance for alcohol is not as great as Rita’s
Looking at Par’s flushed face, Rita secretly sighs in her heart. She really never thought she would see such a day.
Raised under her father’s teachings, Rita has always felt that she should dedicate herself entirely to her great master, Violent Thunder.
But now the Thunder Legion is long gone, and not long ago, she even chose to ignore those who destroyed it with their own hands.
Even now, after agreeing to unite with Par, she still doesn’t know if she’s made the right decision.
Looking at Par’s red face, Rita can’t help but laugh.
He probably won’t be able to get up tonight
Just as she was thinking that, a centaur suddenly breaks down the door and enters.
It looks like it should be one of Par’s personal guards.
In addition to him, another centaur follows closely behind, probably her own confidant.
“What’s going on?”
Rita frowns, knowing that they wouldn’t barge in like this if it weren’t something important.
“The city lord, he? ”
Par’s personal guard looks at Par, who is red-faced and unconscious, not knowing what to do.
But Rita’s confidant doesn’t seem to care about that; he quickly pulls the other centaur aside and anxiously says, “This is bad, boss! The Soaring Dragon Legion is coming for us!”
“What?”
Rita’s eyes widen in disbelief. They’ve come all the way here, but they still won’t leave her alone?
Suddenly, the image of Sofia appears in her mind.
Could it be that Half-Elf?
No, now is not the time to worry about that.
Rita shakes her head, trying to focus her thoughts.
“How many people are coming?”
Rita struggles to look at the speaker, who responds with a miserable expression: “There are too many to count. They’ve surrounded Loess City so tightly that not even a bird can fly out.”
Clearly, whether it is resisting outright or trying to break through and escape, both options are extremely difficult.
And at this critical moment, Par is completely drunk
After a moment of thought, Rita quickly makes a decision.
“Don’t blame me, Par? ”
Rita stares at Par for a moment, then slaps him hard on the cheek.
Poor guy. His face was already quite red from the drink, and now it’s even redder.
Not only that, but it’s also swelling.
But despite this, the kid doesn’t seem to have any intention of recovering from his stupor.
So, Rita simply starts going to work with both hands, slapping Par’s face again and again under the unbearable gaze of the other two centaurs.
After a while and pouring a bucket of water over his head, Par’s addled mind finally starts to clear up.
The last bucket of water is actually brought by Par’s personal guard, who couldn’t bear to watch any longer; otherwise, Par wouldn’t know how much suffering he’d go through in his drunken stupor.
“What? what’s going on? ”
Just waking up, Par looks around in confusion before exclaiming, “Ah, my face! What happened?!”
Due to his hangover and swollen cheeks, Rita has a tough time understanding what he’s saying.
But she doesn’t mean to answer that question. After giving a warning glare to Par’s personal guard, she quickly drags Par up to the city wall.
As soon as they stand on the city wall, half of Par’s drunkenness evaporates.
Not far from Loess City, a large group of various monsters gathers, completely surrounding the small city.
Upon seeing this, Par feels his stomach churn before leaning against the city wall, vomiting a rainbow of colors.
Rita stands behind him, gently patting his back.
If one only looked at this scene, one couldn’t imagine what Rita had done to Par before.
After vomiting up everything in his stomach, Par manages to stand upright, leaning against the city wall.
Now he’s completely sober.
At the same time, a powerful Goblin, riding a massive Dire wolf, slowly approaches the tightly closed city gate.
Upon seeing him, Rita’s pupils immediately shrink.
She would never mistake such a distinctive Goblin.
Par gazes solemnly at Gaz below, speaking in a low voice: “It seems there may still be room to turn the situation around.”
“I hope you’re prepared for the worst. I know that Goblin, and he’s not someone you can easily fool.”
“You know him? When?”
Hearing this, Par instantly becomes alert and looks at Rita.
She just laughs in annoyance, helplessly saying, “Don’t overthink it. He and I are true enemies.
The reason I left Nolan Forest to come to the Dragon Bone Wasteland is entirely because of him.”
Although many doubts remain in his heart, there is no time to think things through under their current circumstances.
Due to the pressure of being besieged by a large army, he has no choice but to treat Gaz as an honored guest and let him into the city.
With this kind of situation, he will not hold any na?ve illusions.
But if the other party doesn’t leave any way out for them, then it’ll come down to both sides perishing together.
By that time, the Goblin will regret ever entering Loess City.
But half a day later, Par despondently orders the city gates to be opened.
Gaz, on the other hand, emerges satisfied and leaves Loess City, riding his Dire wolf. Before he leaves, he looks at Rita with a complicated expression.
“I didn’t expect we’d meet again under these circumstances.”
Gaz chuckles, saying, “But don’t worry too much. Since you’ve accepted the Silver Dragon Lord’s gift, you are now one of us.
Since we are all comrades, let me give you some advice.
Find a time to visit the Land of the Soaring Dragon; perhaps it will help fulfill your long-standing wishes.”
