The Ninth Princess left quickly, taking only a group of loyal servants and two green dragon beasts with her.
It's not that Isaac didn't want to give her more support, on the contrary, it was she who declined more troops on the grounds that she would not trigger a complete counterattack by the fifth prince!
It's just that this small amount of troops is still within the tolerance of the fifth prince, and it will not cause a new round of civil war now.
She is planning to put the final battle on the fifth prince's coronation ceremony!
Isaac's eyes flickered slightly.
He had to admit that from the perspective of the human race, Princess Ninth's choice was rational.
The enthronement ceremony will definitely gather all the great nobles of Tethyr. No matter how tight the church is, it will definitely send envoys to participate. If the situation can be decided in one fell swoop, the fifth prince will have no room for improvement.
Similarly, when the world was settled, if the third prince was not dead yet, he would not have time to turn around again.
The Ninth Princess who is the most prepared will undoubtedly be the final winner.
At the same time, a new round of civil war was avoided and the vitality of the kingdom was preserved.
However, the question she must face if she makes this choice is whether the fifth prince, especially those followers of the God of Conspiracy, will let her go before the enthronement ceremony!
"Let me see what secrets you hide!"
Isaac agreed with her decision.
If he were from his original point of view, he would definitely not make this choice. The more intense the fight between the two sides, the better to involve the great nobles and make Teser more chaotic, which would be in his interests.
However, after the Ninth Princess personally visited here, he temporarily suppressed his intention.
He really wanted to see if the Fifth Prince could force out what was hidden behind her!
He was quite interested in this unknown mystery that even he couldn't figure out.
With a snap of his fingers, the secret letter just sent by the loyal servant spontaneously ignited without any wind and soon turned into ashes.
The fifth prince's spokesman had a messenger out, but he was not prepared to intercept it!
…
Santa Cassia.
Secret letters came one after another.
Soon, the fifth prince understood that the ninth princess visited the Rift Mountain Range and received some support from the Rift Mountain Range.
"Your Highness, I think he is putting pressure on you. Ron was driven to Melamat under your design. He was not used. He was expressing his dissatisfaction." Minister Noah was very happy.
I quickly figured out the inside story.
If the Green Dragon is really ready to support the Ninth Princess and launch a war now, it will never give the Ninth Princess just this little support.
"Insatiable greed!" Saroyan snorted. He had already given away a complete set of fourth-level spell information. Not only was the green dragon not grateful, he actually went beyond the limit!
"How should we respond?" But he still knew that in this situation, the Green Dragon was absolutely powerful!
Minister Noah pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I think that at least until the situation in Melamat is unclear, he will not make any real big moves. However, we don't need to provoke him too much. Maybe we can give him
A reply, when Ron comes out of Melamat, the transaction between us will begin."
procrastination!
Saroyan nodded slightly.
Minister Noah continued: "Currently, our most important key is your enthronement ceremony. Only when you ascend the throne and truly have the royal power to command the great nobles, will we truly have the foundation to fight against him. By then,
, it depends on your mood whether you want to complete the transaction with him or not."
"Um!"
Saroyan nodded again, with a calm expression on his face, but he had more trust in Minister Noah in his heart.
To be able to reach this point, he did not just rely on people like Minister Noah, he had his own strength.
Faintly, he also knew that there were quite a few secrets hidden behind people like Minister Noah.
However, the secret was not a secret, and he was not prepared to test it before he ascended the throne.
What he wants is that they can push him with all their strength and control the entire kingdom!
Based on what happened between Green Dragon and Nine Prince Sisters, he was actually testing Noah's attitude.
Obviously, Noah’s attitude was correct!
As for the green dragon...
In the depths of Saroyan's eyes, there was a hint of hidden caution!
This green dragon cannot be allowed to continue to grow!
In particular, the church's strength has been greatly damaged because of those cultists!
If the green dragon is allowed to continue to develop, he will conquer the Wells Forest without hesitation, and even wipe out the wood elves... As long as there is a little chance, it may be his turn!
"The Magical Secret Book must never be given to him again. However, maybe we can use it as bait to lure him into taking the bait!"
"Even if it fails, once the church comes back, we must immediately mobilize the power of the entire kingdom to fight against him!"
"Except for the church, over there in the north..."
Deep in my heart, some possible help is constantly flashing through my mind.
…
"It's finally here!"
The Ninth Princess wanted to put the decisive battle on the coronation ceremony, and then the Fifth Prince also came with a letter of explanation. Apart from being interested in the secret fight between them, Isaac turned most of his thoughts back to research.
Not only the research on magic, but also the creation of equipment!
At this time, he realized why the Red Flame Army only had more than a thousand riders.
The scale of the beast-turned-colt may be one of the reasons, but the difficulty of building the Red Flame Armor is even higher.
The craftsmen under him could not complete the production of corresponding quality.
And if the quality is not enough, the enchantment cannot be completed!
After several attempts to no avail, Isaac could only ask them to design protective gear for the troll first.
At the same time, more attention was paid to the Underdark Region.
Mistress Nabowen wanted to invite him to attack Shanata together!
Although he refused, with the viciousness of the dark elves, it would be impossible for him to continue to confront Shanatar without the restraint of the wood elves.
And he has never forgotten the shield dwarves of Shanata!
The channels of the coalition, some changes in details, intelligence agencies speculated that Dugas was preparing something!
The intelligence agency didn't know the target very well, but when the news came to him, he immediately figured it out!
It’s time to get started!
And, kill three birds with one stone!
Take down the shield dwarves, capture Dugas, even Dubizlant, and then...and Dundrum!
Of course, he didn't want to capture Dundrum directly, he just wanted to take this opportunity to understand Dundrum's internal reality!
Even the wood elves know about Dundrum, and the dark elves, especially the dark elves of Dubizlant, obviously know more!
A secret letter was quickly sent to the Dragon Worship Cult.
At the same time, another small group of loyal servants hurried to the Troll Mountains.
…
Troll Mountains.
This is Kuz’s second time here!
Different from the little fight the first time, this time he was fully prepared.
Not only the great master gave him enough strength.
Including Ah Da and Ah Er, there are ten green dragon beasts!
There are also dragonborns who have undergone a second transformation and whose average energy level has reached the second level. Counting himself, there are fifty!
Plus two hundred dragon-turned-kobold rogues!
Moreover, he also hired a group of humans specifically to be responsible for logistical supplies and to provide him with advice!
With such sufficient preparations, he was full of confidence in subduing the two-headed ogre and showing his face in front of his master!
The process went as expected.
Under the layout of the human military strategist, they first cleaned up the surrounding areas and then attacked the center.
It can be said that it swept all the way.
Under the control of fear spells and poisonous breath, trolls are often beaten to death first, and then happily join the army under the temptation of sufficient food.
As it swept along, the fragmented troll tribes were constantly being integrated.
By the time he reached the outside of the two-headed ogre's valley, Kurtz had already integrated more than sixty trolls.
The trolls formed a formation in front, and the dragonborn spread their wings in the sky. Ah Da and Ah Er led their brothers, their eyes eager to try, as if they wanted to get back all the shame they lost last time, while the dragon-turned-kobolds dispersed.
In the mountains and forests.
Facing the two-headed ogre, Kurtz, holding a lightning beam wand in his hand, no longer had the same taboo as last time, and his voice became even more aggressive: "Woba, Dunbar, the great Green Dragon King
He said that he is not interested in these barren troll mountains. What he needs is warriors who can serve under him and fight for him in all directions. However, he also said that he values you and is willing to give you a choice.
Power. You can choose to lead the troll army under his command, or you can leave here alone."
This is not Kurtz’s nonsense, it’s Isaac who really gave the two-headed ogre the power to choose.
If you don't come here in person, if you really fight, you will definitely win, but the loyal servants or the dragon beasts will inevitably suffer some losses.
Therefore, if the two-headed ogre surrenders, that's all. If he really doesn't want to... then deprive him of his strength first, and then wait until the next time...
Dunbar's eyes revealed a gloomy look!
He used his brain, and the kobold set out the conditions arrogantly, and he quickly understood what the green dragon meant!
That green dragon... actually looked down on him!
I didn’t even bother to come over in person!
but……
In the world of ogres, the strong has always been respected!
Even though he was truly underestimated by the Green Dragon, he still had to admit that the Green Dragon did have the qualifications!
There were ten green dragon beasts, and the two largest ones had clearly shown the prelude to attack. Faintly, he could even feel the power of ice gathering in their bodies, like mutant dragon beasts.
There were dozens more dragon-winged kobolds.
A large number of them, he could directly sense, should have entered the second level, and nearly half of them should be Dragon Vein Warlocks. He could not detect the specific level, but just seeing that they came hand in hand, it was clear that
It can be seen that the level should be between approximations.
This kind of power... if you include him, he might be able to fight against those fire giants deep in the mountains!
These alone are enough to destroy his tribe!
The green dragon is naturally qualified to look down on him!
Descend or leave?
Dunbar didn't think about fighting to the end. If the opposing army was all marching troops, he might consider fighting to the death, but the opposing army was all flying troops. Of course he could fly, but his flying skills were not as good as those of dragon beasts.
Get up to speed on these dragon-winged kobolds!
Surrender, the green dragon said that he would be allowed to lead the troll army... The reliability of this condition...
If you leave, you have to start from the beginning, and if you have just started, this situation will happen again...
Alternatively, he can also seek refuge with the fire giants.
However, comparing taking refuge in the fire giant and taking refuge in the green dragon... the fire giant is not as wealthy as the green dragon, let alone the army of the green dragon!
If we could really use the green dragon's wealth to command enough troll armies...
The ogre wizard quickly formed a judgment in his mind, raised his blood-red gaze, and opened his mouth slightly, as if to express goodwill, but the exposure of his fangs revealed a ferocious expression: "Can
How could we not be wise enough to be appreciated by the Green Dragon King? Woba and I are willing to serve him."
Decisions were made using the brain.
Those who use big sticks will naturally have no other ideas.
The ogre barbarian warrior Waba immediately roared with passion and hit his chest hard with his huge mace: "As long as he lets me lead the troops and fight, I will listen to him!"
When he struck down the stick, the chain armor on his body was a little deformed, and the ogre wizard on the other side couldn't help but wrinkle his eyes.
"Of course. A great master recruits warriors, and of course fighting is indispensable."
After persuading the two-headed ogre, the size of the trolls and ogres integrated in Kurtz's hands exceeded one hundred and fifty.
Knowing that he might not be able to defeat the two-headed ogre by playing with his brains, in order to prevent this barbaric army from being controlled by the two-headed ogre, Kurtz immediately led his army to complete the rendezvous with the logistics team.
Then, under the instructions of the military advisor, he was temporarily separated from the barbarian army in the name of communicating with the two-headed ogre.
He also asked Ah Da and Ah Er to interact enthusiastically with the trolls and ogres.
It also revealed a little bit about the dragon-winged kobolds, who also mastered the fear spell and also had the ability of dragon breath.
Be it the two-headed ogre or the giant barbarian warrior Lacy, their postures suddenly straightened up a lot.
An ordinary second-level person cannot be equated with a second-level person who has the ability to breathe and also has spell-like abilities.
If they all master the fear spell and cast it together... Even Dunbar doesn't think that his will can complete such a save!
Once the exemption cannot be completed, it will be too late to avoid etc...
"The green dragon..."
The ogre wizard's eyes showed deep taboo for the first time!
He didn't think it was a coincidence that green dragon beasts and dragon-winged kobolds all had ice breath and spell-like abilities.
Since it is not a coincidence, there is only one possibility. The Green Dragon King is more mysterious and powerful than the legend!
Because of this realization, most of the original ambition in my heart was dissipated, and the rest was buried deep in the deepest part of my heart.
A few days later.
A team of loyal servants came in a hurry.
The order from the great master did not dare to be ignored at all, and Kurtz immediately led his army back.
…
But they were not the first to arrive at the Rift Mountains.
"I have already given the message to Appleton. If nothing else happens, he will arrive within three days."
Stat was also greedy for the fat meat in the two dungeons, so he came quickly. He should have used advanced teleportation techniques, or even teleportation gates, teleportation circles, etc.
Isaac nodded slightly, but asked something else: "Is there any news from Sylvia?"
If you enter your prime of life, Sylvia will be another powerful help.
"That's not true for the time being." Start shook his head slightly, but there was a little doubt in his eyes.
Just two dungeons, or two separate ones? Do we need one more Sylvia?
"I got two pieces of news." Isaac had already planned it, and after a moment's hesitation, Isaac said directly, "News about the Golden Scroll!"
As soon as the voice came out, Stam's eyes could not help but shrink!
Even Lei Loren wouldn't have too many ancient treasures like the Golden Scroll, let alone her!
And, it’s not just one, it’s two!
However, after hearing this news and asking Sylvia again... it can be seen that the difficulty is not easy!
"How should I say it?" The shadow priest didn't look serious anymore.
Isaac did not hide anything: "One is related to Eddo. I tried to reach a certain consensus with them in exchange for a chance to have a look, but they have not given me a reply."
Eddo!
Stat's eyes changed slightly, and the complex color disappeared in a flash, as if he was pondering for a moment, and then he slowly said: "Don't rush over to Aido, there is someone who is transcendent above the material world.
The great existence, over there, we have to wait for the opportunity..."
"opportunity?"
Isaac's eyes also changed.
"Don't ask, now is not the time to say it. If you say it, people over there might notice it." Stat shook his head slightly, and then a dark color appeared in his eyes, "However, if this thing goes well,
, if we take the next step, there is hope of rescuing Altana!"
Rescue Altana?
Isaac's eyes narrowed again!
Even now, this thought has only lingered in his mind!
The more he knew about Lei Loren's power, the more taboo he became!
Stat now says there is hope of rescue!
Thoughts were flashing rapidly in his mind.
The friendship between the Shadow Priest, him, and Dragon Mother would never reach such an extent!
Therefore, it is more likely, no, it should be inevitable, that it is actually Start herself, and the forces she represents behind her, who want to take action against Lei Loren, or at least against everything synthesized!
And this action requires external help. He and Sylvia are all within the scope of this potential help!
Therefore, rescuing Altana should be just a matter of course!
But even just by the way...
Isaac's eyes began to calm down: "I already know it, so I won't say anything about it in advance. The clues to another golden scroll come from the underground city. There is information showing that Dubizlant once owned a golden scroll, but
Long ago, it was taken away from Dundrum, a dungeon ruled by illithids deeper down."
Illithids!
Although he had known for a long time that the difficulty was definitely not small, when he heard the name, Stat's eyes couldn't help but shrink.
Something like an illithid... No wonder he wanted to ask for news about Sylvia!
"So, are you ready?"
"We're not ready to start yet!" Isaac shook his head, "This time we will first solve the two dungeons of the dark elves, and then see if they have more specific information about Dundrum. If so, we will consider asking for it later.
How to move. If not, then take it step by step and try your best to see if there is any way to spy on that side."
The spiritual power of the illithid is really nothing!
Stat also nodded: "Then let's finish this first."
But as she spoke, her eyes moved slightly: "If there is a way, if we can get it, this golden scroll..."
"Simple. Only invite trustworthy people. Participants can study together, or each person can take turns to study for a period of time. If someone breaks the promise, everyone will kill him together. If he can't be killed, just spread the news."
Isaac's voice was flat.
Spread the news... there are too many people who are jealous of the Golden Scroll!
But this is a good idea!
Stat nodded in agreement: "You and I know this for now. Once it's confirmed, we'll see who we invite and how many people we invite!"
Isaac nodded himself.
Before the blue dragon arrived, he invited Stat to go to his real lair, which of course was not the treasure cave.
On the top floor of the cave, there was an endless stream of dragon-blooded kobolds going in and out, offering sacrifices to the Evil Dragon Queen.
She didn't even need to enter the temple, she could sense the strong atmosphere of faith there.
No wonder he is so favored by the Dragon Queen!
However, Stat was not going to worship the Dragon Queen. Isaac invited her into the private dragon library in the name of communication and consultation.
Isaac did not know the specific energy level of the shadow priest, but he estimated that it should not be worse than his teacher, at least not much worse.
While I still have time, I naturally have to ask for advice and see if I can expand the size of the library.
…
A few days later.
The first loyal servant returned with great honor.
After convincing people with reason and convincing the two-headed ogre, he finally showed his face in front of the great master.
As for the two-headed ogre, after seeing the green dragon, seeing the shadow priest next to the green dragon, seeing the size of the dragon-turned-kobold, seeing the size of the green dragon beast, and seeing the size of the dragon fly army, there was a trace of emotion in his heart.
Ambition has been suppressed deeply to the bottom of my heart.
Then, the arrival of the blue dragon in its prime made him completely behave... This green dragon not only controlled the army, but also violated the tradition of five-color dragons and had the ability to summon friends, which made him
How to rebel?
The troll army began emergency drills.
The sparring partner is naturally the green dragon beast first, and occasionally the dragon-winged kobold.
Under the suppression of the fear spell, they were beaten to death several times a day, and whether they were trolls or ogres, they were quickly reining in their wild nature.
Some blacksmiths began to tailor their armor and weapons.
On the other hand, the two-headed ogre actually had a conflict between its left head and right head at this time.
Zuo Tou thought about training the army all day long.
The one on the right is fascinated by the Green Dragon King's embassy, and wants to cut off his head and soak in it all day long.
…
Inevitably, intelligence agencies are also paying close attention to all information about Dugas and constantly speculating on its next move.
At the same time, the corresponding materials have also been prepared.
a.
A piece of urgent information, the army immediately mobilized!
