Korra suppressed her smile, with a hint of ruthlessness between her brows, and replied: "Go to the unknown sea, the dragon's lair!"
Aranza took a breath, and through his soul sensing ability, he knew that she was not joking. He then calmed down and said: "There are definitely many high-level sacred dragons in the dragon's nest. I saw them with my own eyes at the Shipwreck Port.
In front of the high-level holy dragon, the strong man from the human race is just an ant resisting in vain... No matter how many times the two of us go over, we will die!"
"I know this!"
Korra unconsciously raised her voice, which showed that in fact she was still hesitant about this decision. But she suddenly rolled her eyes, and the light disappeared from them. She smiled mysteriously and said: "But... you
Do you know where my pets came from?"
Aranza then remembered this thing that he had almost ignored. He thought for a moment and then said, "Well, it seems that the person who lured you to the dragon's lair really worked hard."
"It's nothing."
Korra said nonchalantly: "She just proved to me... now is a good time."
"Who is this person?"
"Dragon Priest of the Dragon King, Nico Robin."
This is an answer that is not surprising, but very surprising. What is not surprising is that Aranza has already guessed that the person who gave the dragon to Korra is Nico Robin, the only one who is as cold as an iceberg, but also
Only a crazy woman would have the idea of a dragon; but surprisingly, Nicole Robin actually took action. You know, in Aranza's memory, this woman has always only hidden behind the dragon's search.
to the place.
Unexpectedly, she had the courage to stand up and win over the Tulip family.
"It is indeed her."
Aranza gave a wry smile and said, "Well, you'd better be careful. You can't completely believe what this person says."
Cora stared at Aranza playfully and said, "Are you concerned about me?"
Aranza shrugged and replied, "So be it."
"don’t worry."
Cora accepted Aranza's kindness and continued: "According to Nicole Robin's information, the King of the Dragons left the Dragon's Nest for some unknown reason and took away all the high-end warriors in the Dragon's Nest.
Power... The current Dragon Nest is like a wealthy area without military protection. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, let's bring more people there and rob it all!"
Aranza had to re-evaluate Korra and sighed: "Well, you are really a madman!"
Korra replied pretending to be profound: "If you want to become a madman, you also need a firm heart, so I am not yet. As for this plan... I am only a participant, not the proposer."
The twelve dragons given to Korra by Nicole Robin were used to capture the dragons that dared to go out one by one by squatting when the dragon's nest was empty, and used them as bait to attract Korra to join the robbery.
The team of dragons.
However, according to Aranza's understanding of the Dragonborn, things related to the Dragon Clan will not be simple as long as they intervene. He lowered his head again and thought for a long time before saying: "Well, Nico Robin's purpose must be more than just
In addition, the dragons never lack ways to find people who dare to provoke them. I think the reason why Nicole Robin revealed the news of the departure of the Dragon King to us is to make us her scapegoats.
.”
"Of course I can think of this too."
Korra smiled mysteriously and said: "Since I dare to accept the twelve giant dragons, I can naturally prevent the dragon's revenge. If Nico Robin really holds this idea, she can only blame her for her own choice.
Wrong partner."
"Well, let's wait until I solve the immediate trouble before we discuss it." Aranza said perfunctorily, obviously not intending to continue the conversation about the dragon's nest.
Korra didn't force him, she just said: "Maybe you have to go to the dragon's lair in the future. In that case, you might as well take this opportunity."
After a while, the two left the blacksmith shop, and Aranza got the troop deployment order from the Tulip family as she wished.
When he tore open the magic teleportation scroll and was about to leave, Korra suddenly stopped him and said, "The Iron-Blooded Marquis has a good reputation. He never does anything that is uncertain. You'd better be careful."
Aranza nodded and immediately stepped into the magic teleportation array in front of her.
Korra watched Aranza leave. When the young figure disappeared together with the magic teleportation array, the corner of her mouth curled up with a touch of joy, as if she had found a bargain, and her hand naturally stroked her belly, as if
, the "seed" left by Aranza has taken root in it and will sprout.
Not long after, Aranza appeared in the Black Chain Castle carrying the dazzling Horcrux Angela. The Horcrux has an independent soul. In a sense, it also belongs to life. Therefore, the Horcrux cannot be treated like an ordinary object.
Put in the space ring. Therefore, Aranza can only carry his new weapon this way.
Along the way, Angela continued to convey bursts of joy to Aranza through the soul link, just like a teenager going out to play. Aranza patted Angela's sword with her back and said, "Don't worry, well, it's very good."
Soon, we can embark on the journey."
He went straight to the small conference room in the Black Chain Castle and sent someone to notify Elita, Kim Gates and Old Follett to come here to attend the meeting.
As a result, Aranza received a small surprise. Along with the three people, there was a fiery red figure. It was Aranza's sister, Troxi Lane.
"Finally I see you!"
Troye unceremoniously sat down next to Aranza, patted his shoulder with her hand, and said: "I have been marching in a hurry all the way, but the result is good. It has been almost two days since I came back, and you haven't even seen a shadow of me.
No!"
The familiarity between Troxi and Aranza was somewhat surprising in the eyes of the other three. Kim Gates and Old Follett were pretty good, they just glanced at each other and conveyed their respective guesses, while Elita's face
Something strange appeared on her face, and she snorted slightly before pulling up a chair and sitting down. The emotion she revealed was actually...jealousy.
She probably thought that Trocy was another of Aranza's past love interests.
Aranza said an embarrassed "hehe" and explained to Trothy, "Well, I went to borrow troops from the Tulip family."
"Borrowing troops?"
After hearing his explanation, everyone immediately cheered up.
Ilita put away her unnecessary emotions, stood up from her seat suddenly, and asked: "Did you borrow it?"
"Well, I borrowed it. One hundred thousand Tulip family warriors are activating a large magic portal over there. It won't be long before they can enter the Arnest Valley."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes flashed with light, not hiding the surprise. One hundred thousand warriors, plus the existing warriors in the Anesta Valley, their military strength compared with the Iron-Blooded Marquis's military strength has been compensated to a relative balance.
extent.
Aranza did not continue the topic of borrowing troops, but asked: "Well, what is the current situation?"
Several people opened their mouths at the same time, all wanting to answer first.
"Let's go by the time when certain things happened."
The first person to answer was Old Follett, who said: "According to His Majesty's wishes, we have advanced the ceremony of taking office as the head of the family. Now, Miss Elita... no, Duke Elita Lane is already our new head of the family.
Most of the side clans swore allegiance at the ceremony and were willing to provide us with private troops. I roughly calculated that the number of these private troops is not large, about 10,000. As for those who are unwilling to swear allegiance,
For those who did not come to attend the inauguration ceremony, I have already made a list, just waiting for you to take a look. In addition, there is also a legion that has sworn allegiance to us, it is the Red Sharp Legion. You see... the commander of this legion.
Sit next to you."
At this time, Troye stretched out. Even in front of outsiders, she looked carefree. She put her feet on the table, tilted her body in the direction of Aranza, and said, "Actually, I've been there for a long time."
I just thought about it, but the situation at that time was too delicate and I couldn't withdraw at will."
Aranza nodded. He did not criticize Troxi's casual attitude at this time, and the others naturally did not say much. In fact, Aranza was always the one being criticized in front of her sister. Sure enough, Troxi said
As soon as the front turned, he scolded Aranza: "It's a good thing that you didn't give any advance notice when we attacked the Black Chain Castle, so that I could be prepared."
Her brother smiled bitterly and responded awkwardly: "Well, isn't this an emergency..."
Then, Aranza turned her eyes to Kim Gates and motioned for him to speak.
The fat man immediately moved his body, opened the chair under him, and then reluctantly stood up and said: "The Iron-Blooded Marquis started the attack a day ago. Their speed was unexpectedly fast, or... they were not blocked at all. Now, they
We have reached the border of Dirna state, and it won’t take long to reach the Arnest Valley.”
Aranza is not surprised by this. Most of the remnants of the founding king who stayed in Solomon State have been absorbed by the Iron-Blooded Marquis. How could they stop him? In Dirna State, there are many collateral territories of the Lane family.
Some of the owners have sworn allegiance to the new owner and handed over their private troops. These people have now withdrawn into the Black Chain Castle, leaving no defensive force in the territory. The other part, whether they are neutral or biased towards the Iron-Blooded Marquis, they have
It will not intercept the Iron-Blooded Marquis's army, nor does it have the strength to intercept it. In other words, the Iron-Blooded Marquis's advance will be faster.
It won't be long before he can march his army into the Arnest Valley and fight to the death with the new head of the family.
Aranza frowned, thinking, and asked, "Well, how many troops do we have here?"
"Including the 100,000 people lent by the Tulip family and the 10,000 noble private troops, the garrison in the Arnest Valley is estimated to be around 150,000 people, which is slightly different from the 200,000 people of the Iron-Blooded Marquis.
But we still have six hundred war magic machines and a hundred-person priest group provided by the Temple of the Moon Goddess."
