Red Dragon Castle is the capital of the Kingdom of Holy Helm. Thousands of years ago, a red dragon raged in the city and was killed by an unknown hero. The dragon's head was hung on the city gate, and the capital got its name from this.
In the early morning, when the sun had just revealed half of its face on the horizon, a rapid sound of horse hoofs woke the residents of Red Dragon Castle from their sleep.
On the broad streets of the capital, a knight dressed as a military messenger galloped all the way until he rushed into the Executive Yuan next to the palace.
After a while, several more messengers rushed out of the Executive Yuan and rushed to the offices of various military and political officials in the capital.
Soon, the entire Red Dragon Fort was awakened.
Another messenger entered the palace to report the good news from the western front to His Majesty the Great King.
King Lucio III was over sixty years old and slept very lightly. He had already gotten up early and was enjoying morning breakfast with Queen Count Ekarina under the small flower bed on the rooftop balcony of the spacious castle.
"I don't know what the situation is like on the Western Front?" The king was worried about national affairs and kept frowning.
"Everything will be fine." The queen said gently. She was a kind old woman.
While they were chatting, a palace attendant came forward and whispered in the king's ear: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Wusu River Military Camp."
Then he handed over a letter stamped with clay.
"Is it good? Is it bad?" The king was frightened, holding the letter in his hand, but he didn't dare to open it. If it was good, then it was very good. If it was bad, then the army of darkness would press in, and he would have to move the capital and run away immediately.
.
"There is Marshal Over's mark on the envelope, which should be good news." the attendant reminded.
When the king saw that it was indeed the case, he breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, the marshal was still alive. Optimus Prime of the Helm Kingdom was still standing, so no matter how bad the situation was, it couldn't be any worse.
He opened the letter, pulled out the envelope and read it carefully.
'A great victory over the Wusu River. All 50,000 soldiers of the Dark Legion were annihilated. They killed the enemy commander, the flame demon Afodilong, the bone dragon Philon, the lich Fenisa, and none of the dark generals survived! It is estimated that within ten years
Within, the demon lord of the underdark region adjacent to me will be in ruins!'
After just reading the beginning of an envelope, Lucio III's hands began to tremble violently, and he couldn't hold the envelope in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a 'clack'.
"Your Majesty?" The queen was frightened by the terrifying appearance of the king who was so excited that he was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage.
The king ignored her and shouted to the guard: "Pick up the letter! Pick it up! Don't make it dirty, I want to read it!"
The attendant quickly knelt on the ground, picked up the letter, unfolded it, and held it above his head so that the king could read it.
The king did not miss a single word, and read the detailed battle report on the back of the envelope. It was quite long, with more than 10,000 words, but the king was not bored and read it over and over again. After three times, he read the letter with endless interest.
Put it on the table and sighed with satisfaction: "It's so dangerous! It's so good! God bless our country!"
He handed the letter to the queen and said: "Look at it, see, Ohver has indeed lived up to my expectations! I saw him right! Okay, okay!"
The attendant immediately knelt down in front of the queen and showed her the letter to read.
After seeing this, the queen's face was also full of joy. She looked relaxed and said with joy, "Your Majesty, you can finally have a peaceful sleep now."
"Yes, yes, that's right." Lucio was extremely happy. If it weren't for his age, he would have wanted to jump up and jump around a few times.
After a while, Duke Dacit, the left minister of the kingdom, and the envoys stationed in the capital from various city lords in the kingdom came to visit the palace one by one.
The king was in high spirits and immediately said: "Come here, there is a big banquet in the palace tonight!"
The queen immediately stopped: "Your Majesty, wait."
"What else?" asked the king.
The queen said seriously: "The heroes haven't come back yet, so it seems too early to celebrate. A little celebration is enough at this time, but for a real state banquet, you have to be cautious."
The frontline army has established such great achievements. Even if there is a big banquet, the first person to be entertained is the hero of the victory here, otherwise there is no guarantee that ideas will not come up.
The king thought about it and nodded immediately: "You are right. In this way, this matter will be slowed down. Luxi, go and call the princess."
"Yes." Attendant Lu Xi took the order and left.
After more than half an hour, a female knight wearing a fiery red vest and breeches, riding boots with spurs, and a knight's hat came up under the leadership of guard Lu Xi.
When they got closer, the female knight took off her hat, revealing her long burgundy hair, lowered her head and saluted: "Father."
Looking at his daughter's rosy face with slight beads of sweat, the king said dotingly: "Are you going to practice equestrian again so early in the morning?"
"Well. That white wildebeest is very unruly, and it takes a lot of effort to tame it." The female knight smiled. She is the king's only descendant, Princess Tolia.
King Lucio originally had three sons and one daughter, but unfortunately both his eldest son and second son died on the battlefield, and the third son died in infancy, so the king's family left Princess Tolia alone.
Because of this, despite the continuous war, the people of the Helm Kingdom still have a very high support rate for the king.
Let’s get back to the topic.
The king ordered: "The battle situation on the front line has been decided. A great victory has been won. Those undead demons have been driven back to the dark area. As an envoy, go to the Wusu River and welcome the heroes of this battle back to the capital. I will reward them well!"
The queen then added: "Also, your majesty, look at how powerful this mage named Russell is and how he was seriously injured. We must invite him over and reward him well. We can't let his heart go cold."
Guo Guo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, your mother is right. You must invite this magician here."
The princess's face was also full of joy, she bowed and said: "Yes, my daughter will not let her father and mother down."
……..
Along the Wusu River.
At this time, several days had passed since the end of the battle, and the human army was resting by the river.
In the Wusu River, the effect of the seventh-level ice spell that the Dark Legion had painstakingly prepared to activate for a long time has completely disappeared. The thick ice on the Wusu River has melted away, and the majestic scene of the rapids in the past has returned.
Magician Heights by the river.
Sun Ran changed out of the legion commander's suit and wore ordinary clothes. He casually sat on the wooden board at the sentry and directed the magicians to continue to perfect the magic circle on the high ground.
Time was in a hurry at that time, and we didn't know when the Dark Legion would launch its attack. Therefore, the solar array on the high ground was not perfect and had no defensive function. It was really risky to use it hastily during battle.
At this time, he had achieved a great victory, had plenty of time, and Sun Ran's performance was outstanding. However, the magician was very mysterious in the hearts of ordinary people, and no one bothered him easily, so he could perfect the magic circle.
After sitting for a while, Ruiya came over, holding a food box in her hand, and said gently: "Sir, it's time for you to eat."
"Oh, thank you." Sun Ran took the food box and opened it. Inside was carefully cooked delicious broth and fragrant bread.
He took out the bread and threw one to each of Eddie, Orlando and others beside him, then took out the broth and said boldly: "Come on, come on, let's eat together, eat together, Ruiya's craftsmanship is very good, it's delicious
Very good."
Orlando ran over and took a careful look at Ruiya. Seeing her embarrassed look, he sat next to Sun Ran and joked to Sun Ran while eating: "Russell, you really don't understand style. Ruiya specializes in
I made food for you, why did you share it with everyone?"
"Ah~" Sun Ran scratched his head, looking confused, turned around and asked Ruiya: "Really?"
Ruiya's face suddenly turned red, and she forced herself to calm down and said, "No way, everyone is eating together."
The magicians around him burst out laughing, and Eddie smiled and said, "Russell is only sixteen years old. When I was at the academy, I always saw him studying magic and not doing anything else at all. He hasn't done anything about the things between men and women.
Figure it out."
After experiencing a thrilling battle together and finally winning, the barrier between them has long since disappeared.
"What's going on?" Sun Ran looked confused, as if he didn't understand what everyone was talking about. He pretended to be a young man who didn't know anything about the world, and made him laugh again.
"What are you all thinking! Don't teach bad things to children. I just saw that the legion commander was injured, so I wanted to help him replenish his body!" Ruiya put her hands on her hips, blushing and angrily scolding everyone for their obscene thoughts.
After a casual laugh, after eating, we started to modify the magic circle again.
The plan of the magicians is to use this highland as a fortress to resist demons, a legendary fortress that only requires seven four-star magicians to activate seven-level solar magic!
With Sun Ran's full guidance and each magician doing their best, more than a week later, a perfect solar magic array was completed.
Nothing happened here. Sun Ran only stayed for one more day before a carriage from Sky City came to greet him.
The coachman got off the carriage and said respectfully: "Lord Russell, the war is over. The consul asked me to take you back to the Sky City to report on your duties. In addition, Dean Hoffman also hopes that you can rush back as soon as possible."
Dean Hoffman's only idea was to ask him not to neglect his studies and spend more time studying magic. Naturally, Sun Ran had no objection. After saying goodbye to everyone, he got in the carriage and left. (To be continued...)
