Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 389: Good News

"Whereabouts unknown?" Forle smiled casually. "If I remember correctly, Your Highness is in charge of the Northern Expedition this time. There is no need to report the battle plan to anyone?"

"This..." Duke Baldwin rubbed his palms, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his round face that always looked amiable. "In principle, this is the case, but now the entire northern territory has fallen, and the Northern Expedition is a big deal after all. We are also concerned about the safety of Your Majesty, so..."

"Why does the Duke have to repeat these words to them over and over again!" The Marquis of Woodroffe suddenly shouted.

The deputy commander of the Rodel Knights and the highest military commander of the West Asian Forum is in his prime, with a dignified appearance, and at this moment he seems to be at the peak of his power.

"Now that most of the princes are away, there is no need for Priest Fuer to use your prince's name to pressure others all the time. We are just discussing the matter. There are only three ways to the North. Lord Fortress and Rodel Portal are both suspicious routes. Where else can he go if not to Kalia?"

Fuer was not angry, but just said calmly: "So?"

"So His Highness Lucia was supposed to go to the Asia Altar portal but he didn't show up on time. We have to wonder where he took our most elite Scorching Sun Legion? That was the help that His Highness Godwin lent him to recover the northern border, not your Ancient Dragon Dynasty's private army!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent. Even Radagan kept a calm expression and did not scold him immediately.

Fuller fully understood that both Birdwin and Woodroffe were merely playing the roles that everyone present needed them to play, and the tricks they were using against him were obviously the result of everyone's debate over the past hour.

At this point, it doesn't matter who said what, each of their opinions can be regarded as the opinion of everyone, including Radagan.

He leaned back, leaning on the backrest in a very casual and comfortable manner, tapping the tabletop lightly with the fingertips of his right hand, and said slowly in a seemingly calm but sarcasm-filled tone: "In front of His Majesty, I only want to say two things."

"First, the Blazing Sun Legion sent to the East Territory once belonged to His Highness Godwin, and now belongs to His Highness Lucia. It is not from your dynasty. If you must ask where your dynasty's most elite troops went?"

He knocked his head, as if to awaken a long-lost memory, and smiled after a moment: "Sorry, I almost forgot because I'm old - didn't the late King Ge Fulei lead the Eastern Expedition Army to the outside of the Sea of ​​Mist? Your Majesty Marica should know about this, right?"

Dozens of golden nobles on the field seemed to be under a spell. They were stunned at first, and then became completely excited. The sounds of arguing, refutation, and even shouting were endless, and the roof of the Sun Hall was almost blown off.

In the past, both the new and old parties were afraid and respectful of Lance when facing the two priests of the Ancient Dragon Temple. Even if they had hatred in their hearts, they would not show it to his face. After all, there were many names in their family tree that were deleted in the Battle of Dragon Tree, and there were still a few names even after the alliance.

As for For, who had always followed Godwin, they openly respected and loved him, praising him as the most glorious and noble symbol of the Nagarjuna Alliance, the unbreakable rock in war, the immortal wall in peace, and the most powerful defender of the new order of the three dynasties. But secretly, they all believed that this was the beginning of the ancient dragon clan being tamed by the golden clan.

In time, the once high and mighty dragon clan will only become their mounts.

After all, they who believe in the Golden Tree and the Elden Ring are the protagonists of this new era, and the friendly dragons represented by Folshanks are just looking for their leftovers.

But it has only been a short time since then, and Lucia Shanks is not only disgusting himself, but also the people around him become so disgusting after staying with him for a long time?

To bring up the expulsion of Gefulai so openly in the Sun Hall is tantamount to tearing off the skin of all of them, stomping them into the dirt, and squatting on the dome of the Eternal Palace to shit in public!
"second!"

Amid the noise, Fule suddenly raised his voice, and his voice, mixed with majestic divine power, roared loudly, drowning out all the attacks and insults, shocking everyone.

"When I said 'no need to inform anyone' I meant to tell you that you should not, and have no right to, ask where His Highness has taken his troops!"

"News from Kalia?" "Why be so ambiguous! Do you think Her Majesty Reinara was willing to pass on news to you sixteen years ago? Sending spies is sending spies. Back then, they let a bastard like Taylor Jones lead the army to break up the Star Wars. Why should you be embarrassed to say this?"

"You have tried every possible means to find out that His Highness did not take any of the routes you expected. You are anxious. I think this will hinder you from leaking military information, right? What do you think? Do you want my Highness to write you the battle plan for the next two months with accuracy down to the hour, so that you can repeat the old story of Roghal's giant troops spying on military secrets?"

Crazy, absolutely crazy——

The group of golden nobles looked at each other, and none of them dared to turn around to look at Radagan's expression.

Both majesties of the Golden Dynasty have some past events that they are unwilling to talk about. It would be fine to mention Gefulei in front of Majesty Radagon. After all, it was Majesty Marika who exiled the Eastern Expedition Army. If it weren't for this, Majesty Radagon would have no chance to ascend to the throne.

But you didn't even let go of the matter between Kalia and Queen Reinara, and started with real damage and critical strikes. You should know that a few days ago, His Highness Lacard reported to His Majesty that Queen Reinara threw his carefully prepared gift into the smelting furnace. You are hunting her down in public again.
Didn’t you see that everyone dared to scold you just now, and now no one dares to say a word?

Duke Baldwin, the apparent instigator, quietly raised his cloudy old eyes and looked around. Not only was the atmosphere on the field frozen to the freezing point, he could even sense the extremely dangerous murderous aura from His Majesty Radagan and Priest For who were only a few feet away.

The expected tests, confrontations, negotiations, and wrangling did not exist at all. In just half a year, the Ancient Dragon Dynasty's style of action was even more unscrupulous than when they killed Beta.

They have torn their faces apart and broken their steps, pushing each other to this point. How will it end?
"Report--" Another hurried report came from outside the hall, which immediately triggered very bad memories among the important officials.

Only when the messenger carries the highest level of urgent intelligence can he rush directly to the Sun Hall or the Eternal Palace to report without any permission - this always means that the situation is out of control again.

The last time was when the North fell and Lord was lost.

"Report! The Northern Expedition Army has sent back the battle report!"

The door opened and the young messenger fell to his knees. He was so excited that he slid some distance on the smooth ground.

He held up the battle report in his hand and said loudly: "The Northern Expedition Army sent the battle report back to the East. After inspection by His Highnesses Michaela and Latan, I hereby report to His Majesty Ladagon——"

"On the morning of the 15th of this month, His Royal Highness Lucia crossed the Sea of ​​Death at night, and 30,000 elite cavalry landed at the port of Odysseus."

"At night, we conquered the city of Odysseus, killed the enemy general Laias, and exterminated all 2,600 giant rebels in the south of the city."

"In the morning, we went north and broke through the city of Clayton, beheading 3,380 people and defeating countless people."

"On the same day, the defeated army successively captured the three towns of Sairad, Baron, and Vicoris, beheading more than 4,000 people."

"From the 16th to the 18th, His Highness ordered General Caedreth, the commander of the 10th Blazing Sun Legion, to lead his army to break through in the northwest. He himself led 30 Dragon Guards and 500 Storm Knights to penetrate in the southwest. All the men and horses were wearing silver armor and white robes, hiding in the wind and snow. When the main force was fighting with the enemy reinforcements, they attacked the enemy from the flank and rear, killing the general and breaking the enemy's formation."

"Within three days, our army defeated 22 enemy formations in a row, chased the enemy northward, and left corpses lying all over the land. The enemy's eastern regiment leader, the first generation giant Rodnias, not only refused to surrender, but also dared to organize a counterattack. Your Highness single-handedly defeated the enemy and killed him with his own hands!"

"When the last battle report came back, His Highness had already recaptured Guntherfred City, the headquarters of the enemy's Eastern Division, and was preparing to march towards the central part of the ice field!"
