Act 197 Evergreen Victory

Whenever the shadow of the dragon passes over the hills and the earth, many descendants with the blood of the dragon will be born on the earth. Astrologers claim that the next generation born under the shadow of the dragon will have magical powers, and this This is the origin of the Year of the Dragon Shadow——

Thousands of years later, the blue water still washes the coast of White City as it did a thousand years ago. Sea foam floats on the sapphire-like sea surface, leaving undulating wet marks on the Antisquay Causeway; the highest wave It has flooded to the lower edge of the relief of the giant beast Leviathan carved on the sea on the causeway. There is an iron ring there to mark the highest water level in the history of Baicheng. The iron ring is now rusty and weather-beaten. ↑ says,

This long bridge was built in the era when Terenk, the lord of the White City, forged swords into plowshares. It is connected to the stone trestle that extends into the blue bay in the distance. Hundreds of ships of all kinds are moored there, and the Elf Court's sailing ship Unique among them - a long row of longitudinal sails, the bow of the ship is curved like a saber - this fleet came here across the ocean from Airlanda, in five batches.

On that day, the citizens of Baicheng saw the heavily armed elven troops disembarking from these ships and then heading east, one after another, and they never appeared again.

More than half a month later, Rand once again stood on the edge of the causeway and looked at the yellowed sail tops - the elves never came back, leaving only the empty fleet drifting in the bay, like a ghost - for They are not uncoveted, but anyone who dares to reach out will receive a stern warning from the temple.

The breath of sea water soaked into the cheeks, bringing with it a moist breath.

His heart was full of doubts, why did the elves of Ellanta come and where did they go?

The empty fleet drifting on the sea seems to be saying something silently, and the whispers are lingering in the bay like ghosts, which is chilling.

Rand suddenly felt the wind rising on the sea. A little chill on my forehead.

He pressed his forehead and was slightly startled. How could the wind blow from the sea at this time of year?

But the sea wind immediately became violent, and the sea became dark with white lines rising above it. A strong wind blew across the bay. The flag on the top of the sailboat was pulled loudly, and the trees on the edge of the causeway roared into pieces. He lowered his head and lowered his waist. Rand felt his head fly, and he quickly held down his hat, and the wind immediately blew away his clothes. He opened the corner and saw the sailboats in the harbor in the distance beginning to rock one after another.

What's going on here?

There were several workers shouting in the direction of the port, and their voices were carried far down the wind, as if they were complaining about the weather. It was said that there was going to be a storm at sea. But his intuition as a sailor told him that this was by no means a prelude to the coming storm, not to mention that the rainy season had passed, and where could there be a storm on the quiet sea near autumn?

He raised his head,

Squinting his eyes, he suddenly saw a few black spots appearing on the skyline of varying light and darkness.

Those elegant creatures fluttering their wings, they are huge and beautiful, as if every muscle on their huge bodies has rhythm. The perfection and extreme of life are vividly displayed in them; when they spread their wings, they seem to block out the sky and the sun. The wind passes under their powerful wings, stirs up wind waves on the sea, and passes through the clouds.

Once again the great shadow passed over the land, just as it had in the past when it dominated all things.

On this day, the dragons flew over Baicheng again.

…

Water droplets gather and form on the intertwined gray and white rocks, with a line of fluorescence on the edge. The magnificent scene inside the temple was reflected inside; ding dong, it dripped down from the dome and fell into the dark pool of holy stones, causing ripples to form on the sinking water.

"Sir, the winner has been decided."

Asebantu XI was in darkness. He said in a low voice.

Several holy candles in the distance emitted a dark light, outlining his milky white satin holy robe. The holy robe hung down to the stone slabs on the ground, and the bottom seemed to be stained with a layer of dark cyan.

The tall tower-like figure of Ellanda stood there for a long time, her emerald-like eyes exuding a deep brilliance in the darkness. Her gaze passed through the terrace on the side of the giant rock church - where there were high mountains and forests under the sunset. There are many dusk shadows, the last ray of golden light is being swallowed up by the heavy clouds, and the stars are falling upside down from the red and purple sky, with a tragic color that is unique to this moment.

The light will disappear below the horizon, and then there will be a long night.

After a long while, she slowly said: "What did you see, Your Excellency Asebantu?"

"This is the news brought by my students: The Silver Queen has joined forces with the undead of Madara. At dawn on the 17th, an army of undead came out from the Argen area. On the 21st, someone witnessed it near Ovehin. Their march, if I guessed correctly, Madara’s undead have already arrived on the battlefield——"

"In the Evergreen Corridor, the armies of Golden Mane Toquinin and Jorgendigan are marching northward day and night. Once they pass through the Arobigon Gate, the strength of the Eastern Metzcruz will reach more than half a million .”

Asebantu XI took out a piece of parchment from under his long robe sleeve, read it carefully, and then handed it over.

But Airanta didn't pick him up.

"Have you heard of the Battle of Ekatos, Lord Asebantu?" She turned around and looked at the latter and asked.

Ding dong——

Another drop of water fell into the pool.

Asebantu XI raised his head in confusion, and the candlelight of varying brightness deepened the wrinkles on his face, one by one, as if carved with knives and axes:

"Are there any variables, Lord Sage?"

"But... even if the eldest son of the emperor can deal with the White Army,... facing Qiao Gendigang's army, they will be unsustainable... unless..." He replied with some hesitation: "Unless you, the Sage, intervene."

"I will not interfere, Your Excellency Asebantu, I have already made it clear."

"In that case...I'm afraid it will be difficult for them..." Asebantu XI frowned deeply and shook his head repeatedly: "Sage,...not everyone is the King of Flame, Ekatos A miracle like this...it is precisely because it is impossible to accomplish that it can be called a miracle."

"But miracles are difficult to repeat -"

Airanta did not contradict him.

The last ray of golden light has sunk below the horizon, and the deep dusk brings boundless loneliness. It was windy at night. The clouds moved slowly southward along the ridgeline in the sky, and the moonlight soon poured down, making the Marigold Mountains appear a silvery color.

"I feel a throbbing. The Flame Blade Odysseus has been reborn in this world and chosen its promised person——"

Asebantu XI was horrified, and he raised his head suddenly: "Sir, Sage. This...?"

"Heroes are born in every era," Airanta replied softly: "And the reason why an era is called an era is precisely because it will change in the past. If you simply repeat the past, you will not get the answer. .”

"The Bugas are paying off their debts. They really shouldn't get involved in the jihad. Someone shouldered everything for them sixty years ago. Now they must repay this kindness." She turned back. A rare smile appeared on his resolute face: "The wind is blowing, Mr. Asebantu, do you feel it?"

Outside the giant rock temple, the wind was gradually getting stronger, and the trees were making wild noises. Countless leaves were rolled up and flew into the sky, forming a torrent. They are flying all over the sky.

Some leaves were even rolled up onto the terrace and scattered all over the church. Several monks hurriedly tried to run and close the door.

But at this moment, the door behind the church was pushed open with a bang.

"dragon--"

"Teacher, Master Sage, it's a group of dragons!"

…

"Duroma, Anlek, and Karasu reported traces of dragons in many places."

"The dragons are acting strangely. Is something abnormal happening?"

"One more thing, Your Highness Princess, we need an explanation——"

Princess Griffin finally raised her head from the pile of documents, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed, and her silver eyes that coexisted with gentleness and fortitude contained an imperceptible look of worry. Looking at the nobleman standing in front of him - a member of the Nooning family, behind him is Grand Duke Golan Elson, and maybe there are others?

She opened her mouth lightly and asked, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you just said clearly. Could you please say it again?"

The princess's voice was low.

But it caused a moment of silence in the Zisu Hall of Fort Oneviedo. The nobles, big and small, seemed to realize something. They stopped talking in a tacit agreement and looked in this direction. Some people had a look of surprise on their faces, and some had a look of confusion on their faces. The faces with different expressions are intertwined with each other, looking like they are watching a good show. They are all strange and bizarre, like a grotesque picture.

The nobleman didn't care at all about Griffin's identity. He walked out of the crowd proudly, proudly took out a letter from his arms and placed it in front of Griffin.

"Your Highness," he replied, pointing to the letter: "This is the frontline report from Butchi, Jinbao and the Karasen Plateau in recent days. The facts show that the undead of the Empire and Madara are amassing large armies on the border. , ready to move."

Princess Griffin looked directly into the other person's eyes. From the corner of her eye, she saw many people, including the envoys of Archduke Golan-Elson, the northern nobles, her grandfather Grand Duke Viero, and even A member of the royal party, she saw Macaro and others in the crowd. Those people avoided her gaze at first, but soon came over calmly——

She secretly clenched her fist.

"There is another report here, Your Highness Princess," the noble continued to reply calmly: "It says that the Cruz people have united with Madara, and Madara sent tens of thousands of undead to fight in the East Metz area, and The Jogendigon and Golden Mane Tuoquining legions loyal to the Silver Queen also passed through the Arobigon Gate, and the eldest son of the Cruz people was destroyed in an instant——"

"I already know about this report," Princess Griffin's face darkened: "What kind of explanation do you want to hear?"

"Your Highness the Princess," the envoy of Grand Duke Golan Elson suddenly spoke: "Eruin is a small country. It is impossible for him to survive under the attack of Madara and the empire. And small countries should have small countries. The way to survive. In recent days, the earl whom you supported has been causing trouble in the empire, ignoring everyone's dissuasion. Now that your bold and aggressive plan is about to fail, should you give us an explanation?"

Princess Griffin remained silent. Since the war started in Port Fatan, the two warring parties have used magic to block all magical transmissions in the area. For nearly half a month, there has been no news from the battlefield.

She moved her gaze to Antitina, who was standing in the crowd. The latter did not speak, but nodded slightly to her.

For some reason, my heart felt slightly warm.

Calm yourself down. She glanced at everyone present coldly, and said: "The Earl's behavior is just and reasonable, because Eruin must protect its people, and for this reason, it will never bow to any bandit force - no matter it is the empire It doesn’t matter, it’s still undead! Count Tonigel once defeated the empire once, and I believe he will stop the empire this time. I want to tell you a fact——”

"That's what Lady Martha once taught us, justice will win."

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

It was almost a confrontation, and the tension in the air was so tense that you could almost see the edge.

The envoy sneered.

"Your Highness, you can't win a war by talking. The empire has united with Madara. The undead have tens of thousands of troops in the Argen region, plus the powerful White Army. Please tell me, how will the empire fail? Let’s take a step back. Even if by luck, our Earl Tonigel won this battle with the blessing of Lord Martha, how does he plan to deal with the lions of Tuoquining and Qiao? Gendigang’s army?”

Having said this, he couldn't help but smile very frivolously: "Of course, maybe our Lord Earl will kill the enemy with his mind, and bragging will make hundreds of thousands of troops disappear? After all, Lord Martha said, justice It won’t fail—”

There was a low laugh from the crowd.

Duke Viero sighed. He also shook his head and said: "Griffin, stubbornness is not a quality that an excellent superior should have. Although you are not the king of Eruin, you represent the face of the royal family. What you said before is too much. It’s childish.”

Princess Griffin's face was as cold as ice and she turned her gaze to Macaro.

Macaro frowned and said: "...Your Highness Princess, don't be too insistent on your own way."

Princess Griffith showed a look of disappointment on her face and said disdainfully: "So, everyone has been waiting for this moment for a long time."

"Your Highness Princess, you should say that we have given you and your Earl enough opportunities, but you have disappointed us so much."

"What a disappointment—"

With a click, the main door of the Zisu Hall of Fort Onevedo was pushed open, and it was Bunid, the grand leader of the Highland Knights, who came in. Behind him were seven or eight young Highland knights. Bunid looked around with a sneer: "The most disappointing thing is that the person who saved Eruin was not the once glorious royal party, but an unknown junior. Some people are jealous behind the scenes, fearing that they are about to be killed. The fire of jealousy must have swallowed you up."

Almost everyone in the royal party present in the hall, including Macaro, changed their expressions. Only Overwell could still look normal and frowned slightly. After all, anyone would tolerate being ridiculed by such a name. Can't live.

"Bunid, are you crazy!" Immediately, some young people from the Royal Party couldn't bear it and wanted to step forward, but they were immediately pulled back by others.

Are you kidding me? The man in front of me is the King of Highland Knights, known as the 'Restling One'. He is one of the few top warriors with civilized elements in Eruin. Wouldn't it be humiliating for most people to go up there?

Bunid didn't even look at these clowns, but went straight to Princess Griffin. After kneeling on one knee and performing a grand knight's ceremony, he said: "Your Highness, I brought you a good gift." information."

Princess Griffin was slightly startled.

The head of the knights had already taken out a roll of official documents from his arms and handed it over with both hands: "Your Royal Highness, the great victory of Mehotofen. In the middle of last month, Count Tonigel defeated the White Army in the battle of Fatan Port and completely annihilated the horse." The undead army of Dara then set up an ambush to defeat the coalition forces of Golden Mane Tuoquining and Jorgandigan. As of the seventh day of this month, the entire territory of East Metz has been liberated and is under the control of the eldest son of the Imperial Emperor."

There was deathly silence in the hall.

"This is impossible!" the envoy of Archduke Golan-Elsen reprimanded loudly: "This is a lie about military information!"

"Sir Bunid, what on earth is going on?"

Princess Griffith frowned. Even she couldn't believe it. After three consecutive battles, could it be that the armies of the Empire, Madara, Tuoquining and Qorgendigan were made of wood? Although she has no doubt that Brando can create miracles, there are only so many people in Fatan Port, and it is remarkable that they can maintain a stalemate.

Bunid smiled slightly, turned around and explained to everyone: "After defeating the White Army, Count Tonigel persuaded the leader of the White Army, Duke Ambnar, to surrender. With this information advantage, he blocked the news. .At this time, the coalition forces of Golden Mane Tuoquining and Jorgandigan had no idea at all. They passed through the Evergreen Walkway as planned, but they just happened to plunge into the Earl's ambush. Earl Tonigel was in Arobi. Gang Canyon took advantage of the terrain to almost wipe out the lion men and Qiao Gendigang's armies in one battle, and achieved all the results in one battle."

"Where is the Dragon Queen? How can he deal with the three giant dragons?" the envoy screamed.

But Bunid didn't even bother to look at him. He turned back and nodded to Princess Griffin.

Princess Griffin was stunned, a complicated expression flashed in her gentle silver eyes. She hesitated for a moment before gently picking up the book——

Outside the palace, just after noon, there was a shadow of a dragon floating among the floating lights.
