Speaking of the Longbeard War, it is the history of the rise and fall of the three forces of elves, dwarves, and chaos before the rise of mankind. It cannot be explained clearly in tens of thousands of words, so I will briefly summarize it here.
After the first generation Phoenix King Alario and his friend Caledor Dragon Tamer established the Maelstrom, they single-handedly killed four Chaos Demons and were seriously injured. Alario inserted the Kane Sword back into the Kane Sword Altar.
After he died, the dragon tamer was trapped in the maelstrom forever, and the world finally ushered in peace.
After Alario's death, due to fear of the curse left by Kane, the Elf Council did not choose Malekith, the son of Alario, as the new Phoenix King, but chose the "explorer" Beo Xiang.
The reign of Nar, Beor-Channar was the heyday of the Elven Empire. The high elves and dwarves formed an alliance, destroyed all the armies left by Chaos in the world, and opened up the great and glorious Golden Golden Empire, which is still remembered by the elves.
era.
Unfortunately, this era did not last long (a few hundred years). As Malekith poisoned the Phoenix King Beor Shannar and launched a rebellion, the high elves fell into civil war and split into the dark elves. The golden age came to an end, and the high elves and
The Dark Elves began a history of thousands of years of civil war.
Hundreds of years later, the dark elves sent a small team to deliberately attack the dwarves' caravan, causing the dwarves heavy losses. The then high king of the dwarves, Gotrek Shatterstar, did not know about the division of the elves, so he immediately sent an envoy to the extreme.
The patience of the earth requires higher spirits
The spirit compensated the damage at twice the value, apologized and punished the offender. The Phoenix King at that time was Caledor II. This Phoenix King was arrogant and stupid. He thought this was a provocation from the dwarves to the high elves, so he ordered his men
Shave the dwarf messenger's beard.
Losing the beard was a terrible shame for the dwarves, and the War of the Longbeard broke out. The outcome of the war was that Caledor II was killed in the battle, the crown of the Phoenix King was taken away, and the alliance of order was broken. After that, the high elves were busy fighting against the darkness.
The elves engaged in never-ending civil war, while the mountain kingdoms of the dwarves fell one after another at the hands of the greenskins, and humans began to rise in the old world...
"Your human writings always record that the dark elves were split after the elves retreated from the old world, but in fact the high elves had already split before the Longbeard War." Teclis said calmly: "The Dragon Tamer Family
The last bloodline died in battle here, and the method of training dragons was lost. This is the most regrettable thing."
"But I remember that the high elves still have a dragon prince riding a dragon?" Ryan said doubtfully.
Dragons are extremely powerful creatures. Before the Ancient Sages came to this world, dragons were the ruling race of this world. After the Ancient Sages arrived, in order to make the planet more adaptable to the creatures they created, the Ancient Sages directly changed the planet's orbit.
The climate became colder and became less suitable for dragons to survive. Most dragons have since entered nearby mountains or underground caves to hibernate. There are a large number of giant dragons living in the volcanoes of the Kingdom of Caledor. It is said that there are extremely many dragons.
.
"It's different. Before the family of dragon tamers died out, the dragon princes were 'training dragons'. After the family of dragon tamers died out, the dragon princes were 'inviting dragons'." Tigris explained: "We have lost the ability to train dragons."
Fa, the dragon princes can only try
To make friends with a dragon, in order to wake up the sleeping dragon, the dragon princes have to sing a kind of "dragon song" for three days and three nights without stopping.
Dragon, become your partner."
"I see." Ryan nodded in understanding: "Indeed, I know that there is a dragon in the Royal Zoo in Brunswick, the capital of the empire, but most of them are sleeping and will only be awakened by the empire in the most critical times."
"Speaking of this, there seem to be very few dragons in the old world?" Teclis asked casually: "Logically speaking, there should be a lot of sleeping dragons in the old world, but I rarely see giant dragons..."
"They were all slaughtered," Ryan said calmly.
"Slaughtered?"
"Yes, they were slaughtered. In Britannia, slaying dragons is not a rare thing." Ryan complained: "The current knights of the Holy Grail Knights are the only ones who have slain dragons during the Holy Grail Crusade.
There are more than twenty, of course including dragons and wyverns. There are fewer who have slain true dragons, but there are also many Holy Grail knights who have slain true dragons in history."
Yes, the country of Britannia has been famous for slaying dragons since its founding. The founding knight King Arthur slew it, his son Lewis also slew it, and his direct descendant Bohemond, Duke of Bastogne, also slayed it. Many Holy Grail Knights also slew it.
They all slayed dragons during the Holy Grail Crusade, because slaying dragons was a way to quickly make the Lake Fairy notice the knight.
Whenever they hear the news about the appearance of a dragon, the expedition knights will rush one after another, trying to gain the lady's approval by slaying the dragon. This method... is indeed quite effective. Even if the dragon slayer cannot become a Holy Grail Knight, he will become a hero of the kingdom.
.
"Oh my God! There's a dragon! Go tell the Brittanians!"
——Imperial Proverb
"Pfft, Ryan, why didn't you kill the dragon to show the lady?" Sulia couldn't help laughing and said to her husband.
"I have never encountered a giant dragon. In fact, there are many sleeping dragons in the Gray Mountains and the Black Forest in the Empire. However, the sleeping time of a giant dragon is calculated in thousands of years. You have to be lucky to encounter it.
." Ryan complained.
"What you have here are all hybrid dragons, wyverns and some flying sub-dragon species." Teclis shook his head: "There are not that many real dragons... but if you can kill such creatures alone, your strength is still good."
"More and more dragons in the Caledor volcano are falling asleep, and there are fewer and fewer dragon princes who can ride dragons." Teclis looked a little sad: "The power of order is always declining, Ace
However, the Lai compatriots still stubbornly rejected my request for alliance."
"At least the empire won't reject you, and I won't reject you either...Aralos shouldn't reject you either." Ryan thought to himself, what's the use of telling me this? Can I help you convince the wood elves? Those elms
Woodhead, you can't do anything as the messenger of the Phoenix King, so let me forget it...
"It's hard to say. Emperor Karl-Franz may not reject my request, but you know that the empire is composed of many provinces, and the electors have different levels of recognition of the emperor..." Tigris seemed to know what he was saying.
It was of no use, so he simply shut his mouth abruptly, and the topic was discontinued.
"He doesn't seem to be happy?" Sulia held Ryan's arm, and the couple walked aside, and Sulia whispered.
Teclis was well-known, and the female knight obviously respected and feared this high-elf supreme mage.
"There are some things that even Tigris...even ladies cannot predict." Ryan hugged his wife and said softly: "I will tell you many things bit by bit, my wife."
"I'm ready to be my husband for the rest of my life." Sulia replied with a smile, her sea-blue eyes only filled with happiness.
"Let's go down first. I asked Lord Tigris to borrow the right to use the music auditorium for an hour. I want to teach you something~" Ryan motioned to his wife to go back to the cabin first.
"What do you want to teach us?" Sulia followed him towards the interior of the cabin.
"A kind of dance... called New Treasure Island."
"New Treasure Island dance steps? I'm looking forward to it."
…………
The high elves' ocean-going giant ships sailed extremely fast on the ocean. The triangular sails helped the ships sail at high speeds under the power of magic. The helmsman easily controlled the rudder, allowing the giant ships to move flexibly with the strong winds. Lothern Sea Guards
They guarded order on the deck. In just one day, Le Angland was far away and the ship entered the Sea of Claws.
This sea area is famous for being haunted by a large number of Norscan pirates. The Imperial Navy, Brittanian privateers, Norscan pirates, and Dark Elf pirates have been at war with each other on the ocean all year round. This is also an area that is often involved in territorial disputes.
Ocean, Britannia and the Empire are all interested in
They have the right to claim a large area of the sea, which also leads to sea rights disputes that often affect the relationship between the two countries. When barbarian pirates and dark elf pirates appear, the two countries naturally form an alliance to fight pirates. When pirates do not appear, the fleets between the two countries
Small-scale naval battles and frictions also often occurred.
The King of Knights and the Imperial Emperor have repeatedly emphasized that civil war among humans is not advisable, but the bandits on privateer ships and the Imperial Navy who often take advantage of the enemy will also take risks for the sake of profit. A perfect robbery means high profits, and few people
Even if they end up in court, the courts in their respective countries tend to favor their own people.
This is why Ryan must cooperate with Duke Bodrick. Without the escort of the Poseidon fleet, it is difficult for merchants to do business independently.
"..." Teclis stood on the bow of the ship, leaning on his staff. He suddenly felt something. The Supreme Mage lowered his gaze to the horizon.
A large Norscan dragon ship is slowly emerging from the end of the line of sight. This dragon ship is very large, with about two hundred barbarians on board.
"Barbarian pirates... prepare to fight." The high elves on the giant ship immediately discovered the Norscan dragon ship, and they shouted loudly, asking everyone to prepare for battle.
Dozens of Eagle Claw ballistae were activated during the operation of the Elf crew, and nearly two-meter-long crossbow bolts were loaded into the ballistae. The Lothern sea guards gathered on the deck, and the magic swordsman Zor of Hoth
Tan approached from behind: "A broken ship made by barbarians."
Teclis raised his head and placed his gaze on the top of the giant ship's mast.
There, there was an ice crystal phoenix building a nest on the top of the mast and sleeping in the nest. Teclis thought for a moment, then shook his head and gave up the urge to wake the phoenix, and instead ordered Zoltan: "Go call Ryan and the others.
Come up."
"Them? All of them?"
"Um."
The Hoth magic swordsman left in a hurry. When he came back, Mr. and Mrs. Lane, the two witches and the servants brought by Sulia were all called to the deck: "Your Excellency Tigris?"
Teclis thought to himself: Why did Zoltan call the servants here? Are these people considered human beings? However, the Supreme Mage always showed his emotions and anger, and he just calmly said to Ryan: "Barbarians are coming.
"
"Isn't this great? My Mjolnir is already thirsty." Ryan took out the Mjolnir, and the flashing lightning on it made the nearby Lothern sea guards feel the pressure.
"No, you just watch." Tiglis shook his head to indicate that there was no need for Ryan to take action. He motioned to Theresa and Veronica to come forward: "Miss Trovik, Ms. Bernadotte, come here, I
I think it’s time to test your learning results during this period.”
"Yes! Lord Tigris." The two witches signaled that they were ready. Veronica's face was serious, while Theresa was a little nervous.
"I will bind the Norscan dragon ship, and then Miss Trovik, please recall my instructions to you, use the breath of the ice dragon, and use frost to freeze the dragon ship in the ring. My request
The ring must be as round as possible and must not touch the hull of the ship." Teclis first told Teresa.
"Understood." Teresa gripped the staff tightly and immediately began to prepare the spell.
"Ms. Bernadotte, please also recall my instructions to you. After Miss Trovik sealed the dragon ship in ice, please release the meteor shower. My requirement is that the meteor shower you release must
This dragon ship is sunk, but it must not touch Miss Trovik's ice circle."
"I understand." Veronica's sweet face was very serious, she nodded in agreement, and the magic power gathered at her fingertips.
While everyone was discussing, the Norscan dragon ship was gradually approaching. The barbarians had discovered the high elves' ocean-going ship. These barbarians were not afraid of death. They only thought about how to hijack this ship.
Loot it and then burn it on fire to please the evil god.
"Ready to fire!" The Lothern Sea Guards opened fire together with the dozens of Eagle Claw ballistas on the ship. The thick crossbow bolts and fine arrows instantly killed dozens of Norscan raiders on the ship.
The barbarian captain in command was horrified and immediately ordered the barbarians to speed up and approach the giant ship.
"Amintok's Web." Teclis picked up Lilith's staff of the moon. After reciting two spells, the tip of the staff tapped lightly on the deck. The wind of light surged, and dozens of golden streaks
The mana threads bound the entire Norscan dragon ship. The barbarians turned the rudder desperately and used swords to cut the threads, but they were unable to do anything.
"Miss Trowick?"
"Breath of the Ice Dragon!" After chanting for a few minutes, Teresa released the eight-ring magic, Breath of the Ice Dragon, and a magic dragon composed of ice energy rose from the sorceress's head and headed towards
It flew towards the dragon boat with overwhelming momentum. After crossing a distance of several hundred meters, the ice dragon opened its mouth, spit out a large stream of frost air, and circled around the dragon boat.
Teresa concentrated all her attention, and beads of sweat soon appeared on her forehead. The concept that sorceresses have received since birth is to cast spells at the target, and then forget about it after the spell is directed towards the target. Ice Dragon Breath
She has always played a straight line, and now it is a bit difficult for her to control her magic power in the future, but the sorceress knows that she must master it.
She can't let anyone look down upon her! She must become stronger in order to stay by Ryan's side!
The ice dragon's breath drew an oval on the sea, enclosing the dragon boat in it. The condensed glaciers on the sea made the dragon boat unable to move forward or retreat. The barbarians were already feeling something bad, and some barbarians began to dive into the water to survive.
"Meteor Fire Rain!" Veronica's spell arrived. The sky was covered with dark clouds and heat waves were rolling. Several meteors fell from high in the sky, spitting out thick black smoke, burning with fiery red air waves, and then smashed hard.
On board the Norse dragon ship.
There was a violent explosion on the dragon ship. The meteor broke the mast, collapsed the deck, penetrated the cabin, and the smoke from the explosion swallowed the entire dragon ship.
Veronica gritted her teeth and continued to release meteors. Three meteors were not enough to completely destroy the huge dragon ship. Witch of Gloria summoned three meteors again to ensure that the hull of the dragon ship was completely destroyed, which almost emptied everything she had.
mana.
"Help!"
"No! There's water in the bilge!"
"The ship is sinking!"
"Abandon ship!"
The barbarians were still wailing. Dozens of crossbow bolts and hundreds of feather arrows fired from the giant elven ship once again attacked these unlucky barbarians. The hull of the dragon ship broke from the middle, and scores of barbarians were brutally shot.
, everything began to become silent, and only the smoking wreckage of the Norscan dragon ship and an oval iceberg were left on the sea.
After releasing the magic, Teresa was sweating profusely. Her legs were weak and she was about to fall. Ryan immediately hugged her waist. Veronica also panted and leaned against Ryan. She was waiting for Tigris.
evaluation.
"It's not bad." Teclis was silent for a while, and then nodded: "For humans, this level is not bad. Take a good look at the wind of magic, and come to me if you have any questions."
