Make the dragon great again

Chapter 203 The outbreak of war
Adrian looked at Aliya in front of him seemingly calmly, but there was a lot of turmoil in his heart.

He had just finished discussing with Alia some of the secret history of the Dragon Clan, as well as the fantasy disputes during the Age of Gods. Although Alia seemed to be inquiring about something in a certain direction during the process, Adrian didn't care at all;
He had known for a long time that this woman must have some secrets hidden in her heart, but Alia's identity as a dragonborn, and Adrian's previous low-level contract with her, which was almost like a hooligan, doomed some key points in Alia's future. On major issues, we can only stand on the side of the Dragon Clan.

It's just that Adrian didn't expect that this secret hidden by Alia was such a question that caught him off guard...

The rune array in the vertical pupil dissipated, and Adrian stopped using the ability of [Biological Charm] on Yoram. Just now, he personally activated the innate ability of this dragon, so that he who had lost his favor and became an ordinary person Yoram spit out all the news he knew.

These include the existence of the Holy Spirit Continent, the Holy Spirit Church, and their group of six priests who sneaked into the Silias Continent.

Of course, it also includes Alia's identity - the saint of the Church of the Holy Spirit and the candidate for the next patriarch.

After Adrian came into contact with Yoram, the half-mad old man collapsed on the ground, and still cast his eyes on the silent Aliya in a daze, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Although Alia will not really believe in the teachings of the Church of the Holy Spirit, she still has some sympathy for Yoram, a senior pastor who has a good relationship with her. Seeing his appearance at this time, I feel a little unbearable in my heart, but In this scene, she didn't know for a moment whether she should step forward to help Yoram.

Adrian looked calm, looked at Silent Aliya, and said:

"So, can we have a good chat, 'Saint-sama'?"

The atmosphere became very solemn, and Rex and the others beside him couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Rex broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that this "newcomer" might be different from his original imagination. I don't know if the strike up just now will lead to bad consequences...

Aliya struggled for a long time, and finally her tense body suddenly relaxed. She decided to confess something.

"Well, there are some things, maybe I should have made it clear from the beginning, but I have to emphasize that although I was indeed a saint of the Church of the Holy Spirit, I did not sincerely believe in the Holy Spirit. Everything I did , it's all for 'going home'..."

……

While an unexpected confession is taking place in [Sky City], the border between the Kingdom of Behemoth and the Principality of Griffin.

Several large-scale spells issued from the side of the Bechymos Kingdom and jointly cast by multiple senior magicians broke the peaceful confrontation between the two sides that lasted for several months.

It was evening, and in Griffin's [Outpost Town], professional soldiers were sparsely walking towards the cooking camp, while slaves nestled in the simple fenced camp, holding black steamed buns and gnawing on the rainwater.

The confrontation on the front line has lasted for several months, and everyone's enthusiasm has been extinguished. Now Griffin rarely hears the various discussions on the Northern Kingdom like a few months ago, but can Heard more dissatisfaction with Griffin's domestic situation.

Suddenly, on the plain in the north of [Outpost Town], the ground trembled unnaturally. Some magicians in [Outpost Town] sensed the change of the magic power of the earth and wanted to investigate it, but unfortunately it was too late.

I saw that on the buffer zone to the north of [Outpost Town], facing the Kingdom of Behemoth, the ground trembled for a short time, and suddenly started from a position 500 meters north of [Outpost Town]. , Set off a "wave" composed of earth and rocks.

This "wave" rising from the earth spread towards the south direction, and soon strengthened to the level of "wave", and when it reached [Qianpost Town], it turned into a [Earth Tsunami] nearly ten meters high.

[Outpost Town]'s emergency magic defense was activated on its own, but that layer of arcane barrier hadn't been formed yet, and a giant eagle flying quickly in the sky dropped a crystal ball glowing with mysterious light;

The crystal ball exploded into colored powder in mid-air, and these powders triggered a series of magic power explosions, causing the magic power to resonate in a wide range, and it was difficult to form a magic circle in a short period of time. The emergency magic defense of [Outpost Town] had no time at all. Formed has been eliminated.

"It's Behemoth! Those northerners took the lead in attacking!"

Someone realized what had happened and shouted in the chaotic crowd, but at the same time, [Earth Tsunami] had already been involved in [Outpost Town] without hindrance.

The simple shabby tents and tents on the periphery, like the foam on the sea surface, were ruthlessly smashed and submerged by the "big waves", and the buildings with a slightly more stable structure also disintegrated quickly, becoming rubble and debris mixed into the [Earth Tsunami], continue Unwind to the south.

But the loss of buildings is second to none, and the worst are the ordinary sergeants and slaves who were involved and did not have enough strength to escape.

When the [Earth Tsunami] struck, these people were either run into the air by the surging ground, and then fell into the subsequent layers of "waves" and disappeared, or they were directly involved in the "waves" from the very beginning. Waves", after a brief splash of blood, became an indistinguishable mass of fragments mixed in the mud...

The place near the border line has fallen into great chaos. The magicians in [Outpost Town] have already gone to hedge and release the undercurrent of earth element magic power that stimulates [Earth Tsunami]. The stamina of [Earth Tsunami] is gradually being controlled. .

But the damage has already been done.

The rear of [Outpost Town], the officer's residence area away from the dirty area where slaves gather at the front line.

Pattins is the general of the most powerful legion among the several regular armies assembled in [Outpost Town]. He is also a member of the Duke of Griffin's hereditary Earl and the Grand Duke's eldest son, the Marquis of the Golden Eagle.

At the moment when [Outpost Town] was attacked, as a third-tier peak knight, he had already noticed it, but it was a pity that the northerners suddenly launched an attack without declaring war at all, coupled with the current atmosphere in [Outpost Town] Indeed, he was very lax. Even if he wanted to stop the resistance, the command system would not be able to issue orders at all.

"Damn it, it's the fourth-level legion-level magic [Earth Tsunami]! Those northerners have definitely planned it for a long time. This level of legion-level magic must be prepared for at least a few days in advance! And they also prepared [Silent Crystal]!"

Legion-level magic, also known as group-casting magic, is a large-scale magic that relies on the joint casting of multiple magicians. This method of casting can cast higher-level magic than the caster itself, and is often used in wars.

The [Earth Tsunami] that attacked [Outpost Town] is a very practical fourth-tier legion-level magic. It is the best in great power wars when it destroys terrain on the battlefield to restrict cavalry, strangles, and drives away enemy troops in complex terrain. choice.

Although it is Tier 26, it does not mean that the caster must be Tier [-] Heroic. On the contrary, as a legion-level magic that has been gradually perfected in the Gaia species' thousands of years of war history, its release requires at least [-] magicians. A second-tier magician and a large number of special spell-casting media can do it;

And if the caster is replaced by twelve third-tier magicians, the price paid will be less, and it is a very economical legion-level magic in many wars.

As for the [Silent Crystal], it is a kind of spell-casting medium condensate that has been specially enchanted and mixed in a certain proportion.

Seeing his subordinates in a hurry, Pattins' face turned dark. These guys are usually lazy, but they were attacked by someone, and even the command system was directly paralyzed. They couldn't organize and mobilize and stop losses in time!
At this time, he suddenly thought of a low-level sergeant in [Outpost Town] and a very prestigious person. If that guy, there should be a way to convey his voice to those low-level asses, right?

So Pattins quickly pulled his panic-stricken adjutant over and asked:
"Where is Viscount William?"

That's right, what Pattins thought of was the second son of the grand duke, the Viscount William who had been a waste for more than ten years and suddenly changed into a superhuman in recent years.

Under the leadership of his elder brother, the Grand Duke's eldest son, the Marquis Paderson, William was spurned by the upper class of the principality-of course, the main reason was that the Grand Duke himself did not show any opposition to this.

And William, who has been wandering outside the upper class of the Principality all the year round, even though he suddenly "woke up" and "barely" became a Transcendent through his hard work, he was not recognized by the upper class of the Principality. After all, everyone knows William and his The elder brother didn't deal with it, and Paterson would inherit the position of Grand Duke sooner or later, so no one cared about William, who started to work hard after the age of 20...

In the past few years, William himself seems to have taken the initiative to alienate the upper class of the Principality, mixing with free people and even slaves at the bottom, which made the upper class of the Principality even more reluctant to associate with him, including Pattins. .

But Pattins' reluctance to associate with William is one thing, but he also knows that William is probably the only person in [Outpost Town] who can effectively convey his voice in this chaotic situation.

'Humph!Abandoning the glory of the nobles and taking the initiative to associate with the untouchables, is it to control the army?This Mr. Viscount is so naive, do you think everyone doesn't know what he is thinking?But what he can't see is that an army composed of ordinary people can't shake the rule of the nobles at all, because we control the extraordinary, but they are just ordinary people...'

Just when Pattins was thinking this way, his adjutant also came back to his senses, and replied somewhat embarrassingly:

"My lord, Viscount William and his knights have been pushed out of [Outpost Town] by you and several other generals a few days ago. Now he should be camping behind the highland in the south."

Only then did Pattins recall that the generals of several other legions that he had assembled with [Outpost Town] a few days ago, under the hint of [Griffinto], the second son of the Grand Duke, the Marquis of the Golden Eagle, Paderson, will be named William, the supreme commander of the [Outpost Town] front, was pushed out of the command system, and he was driven out of [Outpost Town] in the name of coordinating logistics.

"Damn it! How could it be such a coincidence! That kid couldn't have secretly cheated on Bechymos, right?"

Pattins said something to vent his emotions, but neither he nor the others present took this venting seriously...

At this time, there was a sudden thunder from the north, and the fire illuminated the area north of [Outpost Town].

"Shet! Those northerners' attacks haven't stopped yet!"

Before he had time to think about it, Pattins could only grit his teeth while sending one of his men to look for William, relying on the mobilization of an elite team of extraordinary people to replace the nearly paralyzed command system, and reluctantly give certain instructions to various departments...

While [Outpost Town] fell into chaos, on a high ground about one kilometer south of [Outpost Town], William looked at everything that was happening in the north with a complicated expression.

"That guy Damon is really... not polite!"

Although there was his secret push behind all of this, William still felt a little uncomfortable watching a war break out in front of him, and he was suffering huge casualties on his side.

"Isn't this what you've always wanted?" Coleman on the side said calmly.

"Indeed, there are all the troops of Paderson's forces, and it is my expectation to let them wear out here... But those sergeants are not nobles, they are just free people who sell their labor, not those dirty The principality of the upper class, those slaves are not..."

"But they all hate, or at least hate the kingdom of Bechymos, but you are destined not to be completely hostile to Bechymos."

Coleman's tone remained calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

William smiled wryly, and said in a low tone:
"It's never possible to be hostile? That's not good. After all, that lord is not concerned about any country itself, but only a very small number of people in this country..."

Coleman frowned, but then decided not to think about the meaning of William's words - he had completely betrayed William in certain things, and before long, this dragonborn who had ruined the future of himself and his descendants , will become a prisoner, why should I think about the meaning of his words?

"Let's go! It's time for us to go out."

William no longer looked at the gunpowder smoke in [Outpost Town] from a distance, pulled off his cloak, turned around and walked towards the camp where the troops I could gather by myself.

……

At the same time, to the north of [Outpost Town], which was caught in the flames of war, was a Royal Army camp a few kilometers away.

Damon, standing on the watchtower, looked at the blossoming flame mushrooms in the south, and muttered to himself:
"Those remnants of the southern faction are really ruthless. Although I told them to fight without declaring their own initiative, but to this extent... they may even have given away their last fortune!"

Jumping off the watchtower, a knight ran towards this side and reported to Daemon:
"Your Excellency, the Viscount, several generals are already mobilizing troops and holding a temporary command meeting. Would you like to participate?"

"Already mobilized troops? It seems that they have long planned to counterattack the Principality of Griffin?" Daemon was a little surprised.

However, this kind of question was obviously not something that the little knight in front of him could answer. Wademon didn't make things difficult for him, and waved his hand to indicate that he would go, so he sent him away.

Glancing at the south again, Damon muttered to himself as he walked towards the command camp:

"The war has begun... The Kingdom is going to take the opportunity to carry out internal liquidation. There are also people in the Principality who plan to use the Kingdom's hand to eliminate some unrest. This is an inevitable war... At present, the two sides will still be under a certain tacit agreement , I just don't know how this war will end..."

The last war ended because of the intrusion of giant dragons. This time, where will the ending go?
……

To be continued, change first and then change.
