But no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't beat the angry magic of the huge red creature behind them. The red dragon lowered its proud head, opened its mouth and sprayed out a string of fireballs at the fleeing Liwa soldiers - when this scorching heat
The flames exploded in the valley. After burning, the entire hillside was scorched black, and more than 300 Liwa soldiers were wiped out in ashes.
The giant dragon raised its head and roared as if it had exhausted all the evil in its chest. Then it turned its head and sprayed dragon flames at the fleeing Liva army on the other side. Seeing the soldiers retreating down the mountain like a tide, the rebel general was furious.
He drew out his sword and shouted, "What's so scary about a dragon? Kill all the dragons for me, and the reward will be doubled! Magician, cast dragon-slaying magic on me!"
The magicians gathered together in one place, first carefully giving themselves a sacred aura to defend against fire magic to avoid the red dragon's magical attack, and then began to sing collectively in preparation for casting the Dragon Sealing Mark.
In the middle of the magic chant, the red dragon discovered the magicians who were trying to attack him, and also saw the sacred aura on them that was immune to fire magic. However, the red dragon did not panic, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, as if
A touch of contemptuous ridicule. Then his throat bulged and he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm at the magicians!
Calculated based on body size, a mouthful of dragon liquid is equivalent to about ten or twenty buckets of human body. So much white mucus sprayed on more than a dozen people would be enough to drown them, and this thing is not just phlegm -
- When the slime came, these miserable magicians were frozen into ice sculptures on the spot!
I have to sigh, no matter how good a creature is, as it gets older, its temper will become more or less weird.
"A dragon has two lungs, one of fire and one of ice."
This is a description of the Dragon Clan in Elf Secretary. Unfortunately, none of the Liwa people present had seen Elf Secretary. Of course, they would not understand the true power of the Dragon Clan. However, they could infer the dragon in front of them just by relying on the color of their skin.
People who can only use fire magic will lose their lives if they leave early.
The rebel generals at the foot of the mountain were deploying the remaining two thousand troops, preparing to strangle the sudden appearance of the dragon, but fate would not give them another chance like this. After they finished forming their team, there were bursts of sounds in the sky,
Countless winged men flew over at low altitude.
As it approached, the Winged Man began to slow down and circle, looking for a landing place on the hilltop where the little princess was and other places in the valley - before long, far and near, front and back, left and right, the entire sky was occupied by Winged Man, no one knows how many there are!
It's not that the rebels didn't want to run away, but as soon as the dozen or so light cavalry sent out to explore the route came out of the array, they were immediately killed by the Wingman's feather arrow magic. Who dared to act rashly?
One team, two teams, three teams... nine teams, ten teams... In the end, a full 20 teams of winged men have landed in this medium-sized valley. Calculated with 500 people per team, here
A total of 10,000 winged soldiers fell down!
The remaining 2,000 infantrymen faced off against 10,000 winged men, and they were still 2,000 infantrymen without courage. You should know the result with your buttocks. The rebels began to shrink and gradually huddled into a ball. The helpless soldiers cried with sorrow on their faces.
Waiting for fate's judgment.
By this time, everyone in the rebel army knew which country's army was coming, because in the entire Bis continent, there is no empire that can produce 10,000 winged men and a red dragon at the same time, and it is none other than the Bisi Empire -
—Wherever the sharp edge of Sibia’s army points, I haven’t heard of anyone who can withstand it!
But what is very strange is that these winged soldiers flying in waves did not fly the Sibia military flag. Although they were neatly dressed in military uniforms, they did not have any signs of identity. This is simply incredible. They are not
sneak attack.
Those who implemented the siege and those who were surrounded did not move, and no one spoke. After a long period of silence, there was a "hoo" sound, and a huge flag was erected on the top of the hill where the little princess was, and the flag slowly unfolded with the wind.
, turned out to be a flag of the Liva Empire!
This made everyone in the rebel army a little confused. They were pursuing the little princess from a long distance, and they did not carry a flag. At this time, they saw their own flag in the enemy's formation, which felt extremely strange.
There was another moment of silence on the top of the mountain, and two smaller flags were erected one after another until they reached the front. After these flags were unfolded, the rebels in the valley recognized that one of them belonged to Her Royal Highness Princess Berne Ebbinghaus.
flag, and the other flag was very unfamiliar. Although it was the typical flag of the Liva Empire Legion, no one among the rebels knew when there was such an army as the "Second Guards of the Liva Empire".
But all things have become unimportant now. With the sound of horse hooves at the entrance of the valley, today's real master appears. In the rapid sound of hooves, a team of dusty light cavalry appears in everyone's sight.
Although there were only about two hundred people in total, and everyone was covered in dust and their clothes were wet with sweat, the momentum of the galloping in was no less than that of thousands of troops.
Galloping in front of the cavalry was a row of senior officers, not wearing any rank insignia, only surrounded by a huge flag. As they got closer, they saw clearly that the font on the flag was also "Second Guards of the Liva Empire".
Under the military flag, a tall general was particularly eye-catching because he was wearing armor given by the gods.
This is a young general with a calm expression. He holds his helmet to his chest very solemnly with his left hand, and holds the reins with his right hand. No matter how the horse under his hip is leaping and galloping, he keeps his upper body upright, and the knot of his cloak is tied tightly.
He was meticulous, his sword was hung in the right position, and even the officers who accompanied him looked and dressed like him, as if they were printed from the same mold.
The cavalry marched to a stop two hundred steps away from the Liva army. The young general wearing divine armor stepped out from the crowd and advanced alone. He stopped behind a dozen horses and looked at the Liva army with a steady gaze.
He slowly swept across the front of the formation, and then said loudly: "I am Lieutenant General Moya, commander-in-chief of the Second Guards Army of the Liva Empire. Come out and speak alone."
He spoke not loudly, but the rebel soldiers in the valley could hear him. His tone was so calm that there was no wave, but everyone knew that this matter would not end well...
In the current Sibia Empire, Moya is the third-ranked general. Although he only has the rank of lieutenant general, he is an excellent commander who can act independently. Whenever he needs to lead an army on an expedition, it will never be a small incident.
From this point, we can see the attitude of the Sibia Empire towards the little princess of Riva, and we can also infer the next fate of the army that besieged the little princess.
On the hilltop where the smoke was still shrouded, the magicians and witch doctors who came with the Winged Man were doing their best to treat the wounded. After a bloody battle, there were less than thirty people who could be rescued among the guards who protected the princess from escaping, and nearly 30 people died in the line of duty.
One hundred warriors or magicians, including nearly two hundred people who had died along the way, nine-tenths of the operational personnel deployed by the Sibia Liaison Office in the Riva Empire were lost.
After a sudden appearance, the red dragon disappeared for no reason, and a dying elder with red hair and red beard appeared next to Princess Berne Ebbinghaus.
He first lifted the paralysis magic cast on the princess, stretched out his hand to treat several minor wounds on the female general's body, and then at the princess's request, leaned over to check on the Sbia officer's condition.
"How is it?" Princess Berni took the cloak handed by the female general, "Is there still hope?"
"Your Highness the Princess." The red-haired old man shook his head sadly, "This brave warrior has exhausted all his life energy in the fight. His fire of life has turned into cold ashes. There is no way to stop him.
Resurrection, let’s bury him as soon as possible!”
After listening to the red-haired old man's words, Princess Berni sighed, put her hand on the officer's chest, closed her eyes and prayed.
Accompanied by several officers, the general liaison officer of the Sbia Empire, dressed in casual clothes, ran all the way up the hill, knelt down on one knee next to Princess Berni and saluted, "I am shocked to hear about the changes in the Liva Empire. I am waiting for help to come."
Retreat, please express your condolences to Your Highness the Princess!"
"Mafa, get up quickly." Princess Berni stood up and reached out to help her while looking at the chief liaison officer with confusion and surprise. "What's wrong with everyone? Why are you all so unfamiliar?"
"Your Highness the Princess, my subordinate is now the liaison officer of the Second Guards of the Liva Empire and takes orders directly from Her Highness the Princess." Mafa stood up and whispered: "External forces are closely monitoring us, so it is expedient for us to use this status.
, His Majesty wanted to come to greet you in person, but he was blocked in the country due to someone's plan, so he had to send us here. Please cooperate with us, princess, we need to leave here immediately."
"Understood." Princess Berni took the lead slightly and said calmly: "Liaison Officer, what suggestions do you have at the moment?"
"Your Highness, Princess, please get on your horse and come down from the mountain, and move to the Sibia Empire immediately." Mafa waved his hand and asked someone to take the horse. "Please leave the handling of the prisoners and the divorce to Lieutenant General Moya."
Knowing that this was not a place to stay for a long time, Princess Berni took the female general on the horse and went down the mountain escorted by a group of female warriors and red-haired old men.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the female general accidentally looked back and saw several generals from the Riva Army negotiating with Lieutenant General Moya. When she walked a few steps and looked back again, all those Riva generals had fallen to the ground.
On the ground, Lieutenant General Moya was sheathing his bloody sword with a calm expression... The surrounding troops shouted and moved forward together.
The rebels' cries for mercy suddenly broke out.
Sibia and Liva are two empires that are close together. The border spans mountains, grasslands, and rivers and stretches for thousands of miles. Most of the areas are flat and there is no danger to defend. The only way to go deep into the territory of the Liva Empire is forty miles.
A towering mountain overlooking the vast plains around it can be used as a large fortress with a capacity of 30,000 troops. However, the relationship between Riva and Sbia has been harmonious in recent years, and this fortress only has a symbolic garrison of 300 troops.
The mission of the Wa soldiers is only to repair roads and maintain city defense facilities.
But in recent days, these three hundred soldiers have been extremely busy. Not only do they have to distribute barracks to neighboring armies who have come from afar, they also have to bury some large stone pillars that are as tall as one person transported from the border to a place two meters away from the fortress.
Go up to the land of Liva, which is ten miles away... The friendly troops include five Liva local troops coming from Liva and loyal to Her Royal Highness the little princess of Riva, and eight "Liva Second Closer" troops coming from Sbia.
"Guards". As for those large stone pillars that were re-buried! Officials will refer to them as "boundary monuments" in documents.
In just two days, the fortress was filled with thirteen armies and a large amount of military supplies. Military flags were fluttering on the city walls, people were surging under the city walls, six city gates were wide open, and there were a large number of convoys that had no time to unload.
Waiting outside the fortress. After finally completing this busiest period, I had to rush to meet all the big shots. Just as the convoy of Her Royal Highness Princess Riva approached the fortress, several groups of the most distinguished members of the Divine Alliance
Distinguished people also came one after another.
Inside and outside the fortress, there were noisy voices everywhere, but it was unusually quiet on the highest tower. On the platform of the tower, a black-haired man in aristocratic casual clothes was standing in the distance, looking at a group of temples.
The man dressed as a priest stood behind him and stared at his back. The two leading priests were actually wearing the attire of the temple's cardinal priests. Their cold expressions could not hide the slightest trace of anger. Several followers of the high priest level stood with their heads buried in their faces.
From the back, I didn’t even dare to let out a breath.
The black-haired man didn't seem to pay attention to the emotions of these priests. He tapped the fingers of his right hand gently on the bluestone bricks, making a slight sound that was not urgent or slow, accompanied by the "hunting" sound of the flag above his head.
The atmosphere here seems tense and weird. With the qualifications and courage to let the two cardinal priests of the temple receive such a cold reception, there is no other candidate in the Divine Alliance except His Majesty Cohen Keda.
"Your Majesty, please answer my question directly. This is also the question of the temple." After waiting for a moment, one of the cardinal priests finally couldn't help but said, "His Majesty Cohen personally led the army into the territory of the Liva Empire. Is it to attack the Liva Empire?"
Is the divine empire going to war?”
"Aren't I thinking about how to answer? Don't rush me! If my answer is not detailed in any way, wouldn't it waste your time?" His Majesty Cohen turned around and replied with a smile: "I can't do it.
Just walking around in your own territory, how can you say that you are going to war with other countries? Okay! Let’s take a few steps back and say it: the empires with the divine alliance are going to fight.
, but this isn’t a big deal, right?”
"It is not impossible for a war to break out between empires, but there is a difference in nature, let alone how serious this matter will develop, and your Majesty will actually need to lead the army himself? We will not ask about this situation. The Light God Clan asks, who
To take responsibility?" One of the cardinal priests said: "As for your own territory, Your Majesty Cohen, when did the territory of Sibia include Riva?"
"The territory of Sibia does not include Riva! But I asked before the patrol. The fortress under our feet is on the map of Sibia. If you don't believe it, let's go down and check the boundary markers?
His Majesty Cohen frowned slightly and said with a somewhat aggrieved look: "If there is an error somewhere on the map, or if there are any doubts about the boundary demarcation between the two countries, this is a trivial matter that can be discussed! I will never do it for you."
What is the relationship between Riva and Sibiya when they fell out over this trivial matter?"
Emperor Sbia has made it clear that he is cheating on this matter and refuses to admit the fact that he has invaded the territory of Liva. The priests have no choice. Because on the map, there is no word "fortress" even for a distance of dozens of miles.
It may not be possible to write it down. If you really want to find out and negotiate properly, it will be impossible in less than two months.
And at that time, I don’t know what excuses the emperor would come up with. Even if he ran out of excuses and returned with a smile, who could do anything to him? It’s not like the priests didn’t know what he had done on the boundary monument or map.
The key is to stick to this point and investigate. It can only be the fault of the map or the boundary marker, and it cannot cure the slightest sin of Cohen Keda.
"His Majesty Cohen is an upright emperor. Since he has said so, let us not mention the border matter." The cardinal priest nodded and stopped worrying about the details, "But His Majesty will place such a large army on the border. We must not
Don’t ask.”
"Of course I will answer the priest's question, but before that we must confirm a premise." His Majesty Cohen took a step closer to the cardinal priest, "Master priest, it is my own business to mobilize the troops in my own country, right?"
"As long as other empires of the Divine Alliance are not involved, your Majesty's deployment of troops is of course his own business." The cardinal priest replied coldly, "But our minds are not so dull that we can't see the situation clearly. The whole fortress is busy up and down.
What a sight, a large army can cook meals for tens of thousands of people at a time. With this scale, can this cost not involve other empires in the alliance?"
"Not bad, not bad, really good." His Majesty Cohen said three words in a row that were confusing, and then turned away with a loud laugh, his voice seemed to be floating from the horizon, "The two cardinal priests have a clever plan.
You knew that I was going to be detrimental to other empires, so you lurked on the border day and night, and came to question me three hours after I arrived here, right?"
This question was difficult to answer, so the two cardinal priests were stunned for a moment. A high priest standing behind raised his head and explained: "The two cardinal priests are here to inspect the Liva Empire. This is a routine inspection every year..."
Seeing this and hearing his subordinates interjecting, one of the cardinal priests quickly turned around to stop him, but he was too late in time. When he turned back to look at His Majesty Cohen, His Majesty's shoulders had already shrugged several times, as if he was laughing.
The guard general standing on the other side had a fierce look in his eyes.
An emperor's attitude towards affairs can also be conveyed by the inadvertent expressions of the generals who are close to him. If the emperor becomes angry and wants to kill people, the generals who are close to him will definitely be prepared. Therefore, when the general standing by the steps changes his eyes, the cardinal priest's heart will change.
Followed by a surprise.
If other emperors of the empire were dissatisfied, the cardinal priests would not be nervous, but today's Cohen Kedawei was so famous that it really made him angry. Not to mention just a high priest, even two cardinal priests may not be able to
Get something cheap and leave.
"Forget it, since it is the Cardinal Priest who is leading the team here today, I should treat you with courtesy." His Majesty Cohen did not turn around, but there were signs of softening in his tone, "I don't ask why the Cardinal Priest came by such a coincidence.
, Cardinal Priest, please don’t ask me how coincidental my arrival is. Please stop going around in circles. What do you think, sir?"
If His Majesty Cohen is unhappy and attacks the Cardinal Priest's subordinates, the Cardinal Priest will not feel distressed, but it will still be difficult for him to face. Moreover, the two Cardinal Priests are actually patrolling Daliwa on a daily basis this time, and the High Priest of Riva arranged
There were indeed many doubts in their itinerary. Naturally, the two cardinal priests did not want to be used against His Majesty Cohen, so they silently agreed.
"I have a suggestion. The priests have just arrived here, so they must not have eaten yet. Why don't I accompany you two to taste the specialties of this place? Let's put private affairs first and deal with business affairs after eating." His Majesty Cohen.
Turning around, he approached the two cardinal priests and said, "Come here, ask someone to bring the food. Let's eat it here."
Although it was a suggestion, His Majesty did not give the cardinal a chance to speak at all. The attendants moved upon hearing this and quickly set up seats for three people. The meaning was already clear - there is nothing here for others.
Position, high priest of Riva, Emperor Sbia does not care about food.
The high priests were still looking at each other. A group of Emperor Sbia's attendants had already rushed over and "squeezed" them down with hand and foot support. By the time the high priests realized what they were doing, they no longer knew which room they had been taken to.
