Chapter 555 A one-man team

More than an hour later.

Imperial capital of Tamriel.

In the palace garden, Ryan and Menea were walking side by side.

"Ryan, I plan to form a team of multiple guardians."

"The original model basically had one imperial guardian stationed locally, responsible for a province or a region. However, facing the resurrection of the evil god and the rapid growth of the evil cult's strength, this method has become somewhat outdated."

"If the cult comes out in full force, it would be very dangerous for one Imperial Guardian to handle it."

"My idea is to form a team of at least three guardians to be responsible for a larger area. For example, we can form a Western Guardian Team to be responsible for multiple provinces within the western territory of the empire."

Ryan nodded repeatedly as he listened. As the energy tide intensified, the Empire also began to strengthen its response.

Menea raised the subject with him as soon as he arrived at the palace.

"Alas, the number of Imperial Guardians is still too small." Menia sighed and handed a document to Ryan.

"This is a cooperation proposal from the Federation. They hope that we can send seven to ten Imperial Guardians to participate in the exploration of the floating city ruins."

"Seven to ten people?" Ryan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

If it were during peacetime, sending this number of imperial guardians to explore the ruins would not be a problem, and it would actually demonstrate the strength of the empire.

But the situation is completely different now. Under the current circumstances, if we want to maintain the stability of the empire, the current imperial guardians are already stretched to the limit and it is impossible to send so many people there.

"Well, I calculated that the empire can send out a maximum of four guardians. Ryan, do you think that's enough?" Menia looked at Ryan with her beautiful eyes and said.

In fact, it would be very difficult for the Empire to spare three guardians at present. However, because it was Ryan who was going, Menia still wanted to send as many people as possible.

Maybe others don't know, but Menia knows very well that the ancient floating city with evil demons is no less dangerous than the last battle in the imperial capital.

Hearing Menia's words, Ryan frowned slightly and did not answer immediately.

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "No need. I'll go alone."

"Are you alone?" Meniya's eyes widened in surprise.

"Ryan, are you serious?"

"Ah."

"But even if you sign a contract with Metes, it's too much for one person..."

"Menya, my strength is perhaps even stronger than you expected, so you don't have to worry about my safety." Ryan smiled slightly, and at the same time, released his mental power that had been slightly concealed.

A surge of profound mental power immediately rose from Ryan's body, but it was fleeting.

Ryan covered it up again.

But just this moment allowed Menia to sense Ryan's true strength.

Her beautiful eyes were wide open, her mouth was slightly open, and her elegant temperament and shocked expression at the moment gave people a rare sense of contrast.

"Ryan, you...you have reached the peak of Dawn?" If she had not integrated into Ryan's consciousness, Menia felt that she would definitely suspect whether Ryan was possessed by an evil god.

This speed of improving strength is really too fast, no, it should be said to be terrifying!
"Well, so, Menia, don't worry."

Just now, Ryan thought about it and understood that with his strength, even Reginald of the Earth Pulse or Elder Ivan of the Imperial Family could not provide him with much help.

The only ones who could be considered his helpers were either the Red Dragon King Strahzad, or the Imperial Guardian Vorkemas, who was also at the peak of the Dawn.

But these two are the empire's top fighters. If they leave the empire's territory, the consequences will be serious.

Ryan neither wanted to nor would he consider it.

The last point is that Ryan considered that he was going there this time with the intention of getting promoted in the floating city ruins. If his teammates were not familiar with him, it would be better not to go.

"Okay, in that case, let's follow your opinion." Menia thought about it and nodded.

"Then when do you plan to leave?"

"I plan to go back to the mansion and then leave. I will go directly to the Federation's Reserlo Canyon."

"Okay, I'll contact the Federation."

The next morning.

Federal Antuhall.

A high-level emergency meeting is being held in the magnificent parliament building.

More than a dozen dignified federal generals only sat at the back half of the long table, while the upper seats were occupied by powerful federal congressmen. Deputy Speaker Bertrand only sat on the right, and the pipe-smoking old man at the main seat at the long table was none other than Federal Speaker Lawson Powell.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a beard and the rank of lieutenant general was reporting in a loud voice:

"On the afternoon of September 9th in the federal calendar, a resurrected giant beast appeared on the west coast of the federation. It was over eighty meters tall and had jagged horns on its head, similar to a swordfish. The military named it the Pointed-Headed Monster. It attacked Westin City, causing more than a thousand casualties."

"On the evening of September 9th in the Federation calendar, a resurrected giant beast appeared in the central part of the Federation. It looked like a giant frog, had a poison sac under its chin, and had a petal-shaped tongue. It could spit out large amounts of venom and attacked Auberdine, causing more than 28 casualties."

"."

"Generals, the situation is very serious now because of that..." Federal Speaker Lawson Powell, who was smoking a pipe, suddenly got stuck.

"Energy tide." Deputy Speaker Bertrand on the side immediately reminded softly.

"Yes, the energy tide. As the fluctuations of the energy tide increase, we predict that the number and frequency of giant beasts reviving in the Federation will increase again."

As soon as Speaker Lawson finished speaking, more than a dozen senior federal generals changed their expressions and began to whisper to each other.

“Does this frequency need to be increased?”

"The military alone is already operating at full capacity."

"Even the latest giant airships and artillery can hardly cause fatal damage to the behemoth. The behemoth in Westin City was repelled, and it was ultimately the strong men of the Federation who took action. But last time, many strong men of the Federation were transferred away."

"Yes, I heard that there are important ruins that need to be explored, but the problem is that the current situation is already so turbulent, should we stabilize it first?"

"Everyone, for this meeting, I want to hear your opinions instead of relying solely on the strong men of the Federation." Speaker Lawson knocked on the table and said unhappily.

Hearing this, the meeting room fell silent, but this made Lawson look even uglier. He said in a deep voice, "With so many people, is there no solution?"

"Not really. It's possible if there are enough Ajax Golems. The giant frog monster in Oberding City was repelled by three Ajax Golems working together with a fleet of armed airships." said an admiral.

"Is it the super giant golem invented by the Federal Mechanical Research Institute based on ancient goblin technology?" Speaker Lawson thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I think creating a golem that is easier to control may be the chance to win the future."

"However, I heard that the director of the institute, His Majesty Hiram, has also been assigned to explore the ruins. The production progress of the Ajax Golem has slowed down further." said a congressman in charge of logistics coordination.

"I suggest that we slow down the exploration of that site and stabilize the situation."

"The question is, can it be stabilized? A short pain is worse than a long pain. If we can gain technological innovation from that site, I think the short-term pain is worth enduring."

"Who can guarantee that there will be gains if we explore the ruins?"

For a time, the "long-term faction" and the "short-term faction" each held a different view, and relatively speaking, the majority of people who supported it suggested withdrawing strong federal troops to defend the country.

At this time, a male attendant walked in quickly, came to the side of Speaker Lawson, and whispered a few words quickly. This scene could not help but make the scene quiet.

This male attendant is the secretary of Speaker Lawson. He came in during the meeting, so he must have important news.

"What! Just one person?" Speaker Lawson couldn't help but whisper after hearing this.

A person?

What a person?

The senior federal officials present were also confused.

"Although the Dragun Empire agreed to our proposal for joint exploration, it only sent one imperial guardian." Speaker Lawson's face turned serious as he told the whole audience the news.

These words immediately caused an uproar in the conference room, like cold water poured on boiling oil.

"This is too disrespectful! No, this is contempt!"

“Is this a cooperative attitude?”

"I suggest that we contact the Dragun Empire again and ask them to carefully consider the diplomatic relations and friendship between the two countries!" A heavyweight congressman in a higher position said angrily.

"Wait, can I ask which guardian was sent by the Empire?" The beautiful female councillor Trena suddenly thought of something and turned her head to ask the secretary of the Speaker.

"Senator Trena, the guardian sent by the Empire is His Majesty Ryan." The male attendant bowed slightly and said.

"Is it His Majesty Ryan? If it is him, Mr. Speaker, perhaps we don't need to worry so much." Trena only briefly described Ryan's situation.

"Senator Trena, no matter who it is, it's really too disrespectful of this cooperation!"

"We require seven to ten Imperial Dragon Knights. Even if we reduce them further, we need at least five. Now there is only one, which is really..."

"Yes! No matter how strong a person is, there is a limit. For this exploration of the ruins, we have mobilized seven Federation warriors, and the Empire only has one? Could it be that one of them is stronger than the seven of us?"

"Be quiet, everyone. According to the cooperation agreement, both parties share the spoils according to their exploration contributions. Moreover, the Empire at least sent strong men here. I think we have nothing to lose in this matter."

"As for the exploration deadline, Senator Trena, please contact His Majesty Tirion. I hope to see preliminary joint exploration results within half a month." Speaker Lawson made the final decision.

"That's fine, Mr. Speaker." The beautiful woman Trena nodded and said.

The Dragun Empire.

The secret realm of the Dragon Scale Brotherhood.

"Your Highness? Why are you here?" The ugly Renferrer looked at the second prince Everton in front of him with a little surprise.

He always felt that there was something wrong with the other party, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Potion. Any more?" Everton said, picking up the bottle that was supposed to contain the super evolution potion with a slightly stiff look.

"Ah, Your Highness, did you drink it? This has not yet passed."

Suddenly, Renflier couldn't continue speaking, because he saw Everton's red and black eyes, and instantly, a strong chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

It was as if a basin of ice water was poured over me from head to toe, making my whole body cold.

What a pair of eyes!
Even a frost wolf that had been hungry for three days in winter would not have such a cruel look.

"Yes, yes! No, only the one from last time."

“Give it to me”

"As you command, Your Highness." Renfrill walked quickly, but his forehead was covered with sweat. He naturally noticed the abnormality of the Second Prince Everton, but he had no way to resist the other's orders.

"Right here, there are five bottles in total, but you should know the side effects of these medicines."

Before he finished speaking, Everton suddenly reached out for a bottle, uncorked it, and started drinking.

"Your Highness! This..." Renfrill was trembling all over, watching Everton drink the potion with powerful side effects just like drinking water.

Second bottle!
The third bottle!
I saw that Everton's body had begun to deform violently at this moment.

The originally normal skin began to swell with dragon scales, cysts, and even wisps of blood, as if it was about to burst, but soon, wisps of black gas emerged from the body, and these cysts and cracks disappeared again.

“It’s incredible, it’s incredible”

"This black energy actually prevented the body from collapsing." Renfrill's eyes bulged out as he muttered.

As the master pharmacist who made the mixture, he naturally knew best the power and side effects of this super-evolved mixture.

When Everton finished the fifth bottle, the black gas seemed to be the effect of the mixture, reaching a strange balance.
at the same time.

Riding on the black dragon Metes, Ryan arrived at the Reserlo Canyon after more than ten hours of flight.

"Your Majesty Ryan, I just received the news that you were coming, and now you are here." Hiram welcomed warmly in the cave camp.

"Long time no see, Your Majesty Hiram, congratulations on entering the dawn." Ryan said with a smile.

With his perception, he naturally realized at the first moment that Hiram had been promoted to the Dawn Wizard.

"Haha, Your Majesty Ryan, I have to thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found the opportunity for promotion now." Hiram couldn't help laughing when he heard Ryan's congratulations.

"Hiss~ This must be the dragon you contracted. It's so majestic." Hiram then noticed that the black dragon next to him was unusually huge.

"Tsk tsk, a black dragon at the very old dragon level?"

"Yes, huh? Where is His Majesty Tirion?" Ryan looked around and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"They didn't expect you to arrive so soon. Just now, His Majesty Tirion and a few others went to the ruins for routine inspection, and two others went to Zetaia to temporarily help the army deploy defenses."

"Please wait a moment, I will contact them and come back!"

In Zetaia, a large city on the west coast of the Federation, a huge shadow quickly swept across the city streets.

"A behemoth! It's a behemoth!"

"Run!"

The flow of people on the ground immediately became chaotic. Some gentlemen and ladies who had been walking leisurely were now as panicked as ordinary people.

After all, when facing such a behemoth that is almost a natural disaster, the key is to save your life, not anything else.

"Hmm? It seems to have frightened the humans below?" The giant beast in the sky was the steel dragon Dolik. It lowered its head slightly, glanced down, snorted, and muttered to itself.

"Forget it, the master is just ahead, let's just go over there, since we've already disturbed him."

"It would be bad to keep the master waiting for too long."

Dolic's flying speed is much slower than that of the five-colored dragon. Even if he chases it quickly, it is still a little slower than Ryan.

It has sensed that its master is in the canyon not far ahead, so it chose to pass directly over Zetaya.

"Attention, all departments. The behemoth is flying towards the Reserlo Canyon. That is a military restricted area. Please contact the rear airship formation to intercept it immediately!"

"Also, contact the two His Majesties immediately."

On a federal airship following behind Dorick, orders were issued quickly.
