Behind them, the vortex of fire, after swallowing the amber, began to expand wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In front of the vortex of fire is the Thunder Flower.

Emiya took a deep breath and looked at the sky.

The giant air elemental dragons that had originally tried to intercept began to turn around and flee after realizing the existence of the fire vortex.

There was no way they could withstand this devastating vortex of fire.

These attackers were obviously the dragons of the Holy Elemental Church.

They have actually attacked here!

But what he cared about was something else.

The roaring vortex of flames occupied his entire field of vision.

Can the current Halrua withstand a vortex of fire of this scale?

——Absolutely irresistible.

Now, they are not prepared enough.

Definitely not enough!

Yin sighed quietly, "Abel's dragon is more capable than I expected. This is quite impressive even among elven high magic."

Emiya was in no mood to reminisce about history. She immediately shouted, "Retreat immediately! Pack up your things and head back to Halrua first. Then we'll come back to deal with the ship and the dragon corpse. Quick, quick, everyone, stand together. We're going to use teleportation!"

There were only about fifty people present. They could even transport them all back at once.

After everyone had gathered, they disappeared onto the sea, shoulder to shoulder, accompanied by a wave of magical power. After a while, several mages in the team returned and began spraying thin, dark green rays of light at the ship and the dragon corpse.

Disintegration quickly decomposed the ship and dragon corpse into the tiniest dust, erasing the last traces they left behind.

Because of the haste, the decomposition of the last of the three dragons had not even begun before the entire dragon turned into dust.

The whole operation was so fast that it was terrifying. At this time, the vortex of fire that was truly piercing the sky and several kilometers high was still at least dozens of kilometers away from them.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to return, Yin suddenly cried out in surprise, dove down, and picked up something from the dust that was about to fall into the sea: "Look what this is!"

An air element amber.

Emiya was stunned for a moment and couldn't help shaking her head: "...I left in such a hurry that I actually missed an air element amber?"

"No, no, no!" Yin shook his head like a rattle. "I can see clearly that this amber was formed during the process of disintegration!"

"...What." Emiya took a deep breath and sighed.

The essence of elemental blood sacrifice is corruption, or decomposition.

Then the most perfect decomposition is dissociation.

It seems they have one more card up their sleeve.

Forty-three Flying Revolutions (I)

When the Lantan people opened their eyes again from the howling magic storm, they could hardly believe their eyes.

The population of Halayach has now increased more than tenfold. Fortunately, Halrua's urban style is unusually small, with a large area of ​​land and few people. A newcomer to Halrua, unless they venture into the areas where ordinary people live, might mistake them for a ghost town. This is especially true of Halayach and Haligad, with their thousands of wizard towers.

During the period just after the end of the Arcane Plague, there was a great scene in Haligard where the number of wizard towers was more than the residents.

What's even more ridiculous is that the Mage Towers must be kept apart, yet there are so many of them that there are often large tracts of open space beneath them.

With the accumulation of these factors, even though the population density of these two major cities has skyrocketed more than ten times, it is still far from the point of being shoulder to shoulder, and is just close to the lower city of Baldur's Gate.

The surviving Lantan people appeared on the airport tower of Halayach, which is also one of the safest teleportation destinations in Halayach. From this location, most of Halayach can be seen.

You can also take in the entire hustle and bustle of Halayah at the moment.

Dozens of Lantan people couldn't help but hold on to the Airport Guard and asked, "...Is Halua more prosperous than before?"

Although they didn't know the specifics of Halruaa, they could tell at a glance how developed the city was. This population density was unparalleled on Toril.

There is no one in the Emiya team who is honest in the traditional sense, and the person who is closest to this definition is the captain Mr. Emiya, who has been lying for years.

Faced with this question, Mars just smiled and asked in return: "The situation is too urgent, we haven't had time to ask: What is Lan Tan's current condition?"

Tita, the leader of Lantan, hesitated for a moment, thinking of Emiya's tools that symbolized her master craftsmanship. She sighed and began to speak, "Lantan suffered heavy losses in the Arcane Calamity. Now, Lantan's area is effectively reduced to half its original size. Several islands were submerged by waves, and several gunpowder depots caught fire and exploded. The population has decreased by 70%. Furthermore, before we could settle down, the Frost Red Dragon Ashe Frame discovered us... The only good thing is that Ashe Frame's attitude toward us was relatively mild.

"We provided him with various tools and artifacts, and he didn't ask for more from us. In the early days, he even provided some emergency assistance. So our relationship with this so-called master is actually quite good. Even so, compared to Lan Tan in his heyday..."

The most important thing is the loss of divine arts and magic.

At this moment, Tita finally came to her senses. She looked at Halayahe's lighting spell floating in the air and swallowed her saliva: "...Halrua, didn't you lose the magic network?"

At this time, Emiya and the others, who had finished cleaning up the traces, also returned. They just happened to hear what Tita said and replied, "No, not long ago, Halrua was also in great decline. It's only just beginning to recover."

However, Halruaa has countless mages, and everything is ready, just waiting for the day when the magic network is restored, so it can burst out with amazing vitality in a very short time.

Emiya and his group had been away for a few days, and during this time, the elders of Halrua had been arguing fiercely.

It's one thing for a group of people to fight a dragon, and it's another thing for a group of people to fight a group of dragons.

The situation that Halrua is going to face is likely to be attacked by a group of dragons, and behind them are his fixed assets, so he has no way to hide.

How should this war be conducted?

There's no need to go to the library to check this - there has absolutely never been a similar war in human history.

Even the legendary elves, once at their peak, were once subjected to devastating beatings by the mighty dragons of the Torre era. The Winged Elves were nearly wiped out in that brutal war.

In the end, the elves were forced out of the legendary Dragon Madness Mystique, driving all the dragons to the brink of madness, and ultimately triumphed. Even so, some scholars believe that the Dragon Madness Mystique did not entirely manipulate the dragon's mind through magical power, but rather acted more like an amplifier, amplifying a certain tormenting force on a global scale.

Obviously, although the Halruaan people are very confident in their magic, it is a bit too crazy to compete with the high-level elven wizards in spellcasting.

They must adopt new strategies and new tactics.

Otherwise, Halruaa would have no choice but to continue hiding—otherwise, even if they could repel the dragon, the land of Halruaa would inevitably become a scorched earth.

However, even if one strategy after another was proposed, it was also rejected one by one.

If they weren't in Toril, perhaps they could still make a last stand by using some unconventional method of summoning demons and devils.

But even this idea was ridiculed – how could a bloody army be so strong against a vast sea of ​​dragons?!

There have been hundreds of dragon sightings reported along the border these past few days alone, the youngest already having reached adulthood. And these dragons are merely passing through Halruaa. The actual number of dragons on the battlefield is likely to be even higher.

How many dragon attacks can the senior commanders in the bloody battle withstand?

The most important thing is that if ordinary people have offensive weapons, the mages will be able to free up their hands to complete other tasks - like now, even how to cause damage to the dragon is a headache for the mages.

At this moment, someone sighed, "If only the negotiations between the Emiya elders and the Lantan people went smoothly. The Gunde Church's firearms are still very qualified as weapons."

A brief silence fell in the conference hall. An elder said, "Those Lantan people are incredibly arrogant. Getting them to cooperate with Halrua will be incredibly difficult."

Another elder said, "I'm not sure where Elder Emiya got the confidence to convince them. To be honest, if it were the Lantan people who took the initiative to discuss cooperation with us, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to reach a consensus in such a short time."

If it weren't for Emiya and his team presiding over this matter, this proposal would probably not have been passed in the Elders' Council at all.

This statement was not supported, but it was not refuted either.

In the past, the two countries only disliked each other.

The door of the Elders' Meeting Hall slowly opened, and the meeting hall fell silent.

Mars strode into the meeting hall. The paladin saluted the elders present, and his clear voice echoed throughout the hall: "Everyone, we have fulfilled your mission. We have returned with the leader of Lantan."

Under the gaze of hundreds of people, the people of Gund of Lantan stepped into the conference hall with some trepidation.

If they are met with anger and insults, they will of course be unhappy, but this is at least an expected situation.

But now, what they face is silence and surprise, but not anger or rejection.

This made them feel a little overwhelmed.

Emiya seemed to have anticipated this and took them to find a seat in the Elders' Council, letting them sit behind herself and Haverfont.

This also means that the Lantan people were brought by their group and were under their charge.

In the silence, Emilia stood up calmly and said, "It seems we're lucky to have made it to the meeting... Can we cut in line and make an urgent report?"

In reality, the previous meeting was in the midst of a lengthy discussion, or rather, an argument. At this point, anyone with urgent matters could be queued up. For something as important as negotiating with the Lantan people, it was perfectly natural to want to cut in line.

-----------------

The Lantan people, who the Halrua people had racked their brains to figure out how to contact, were casually brought to the capital by Emiya and his group, and their attitude seemed extremely submissive.

This news quickly spread throughout most of Halrua. The elders, who were still busy with their affairs, could not believe their ears.

Halrua and Lantan aren't actually close, at nearly 2,000 kilometers. However, Lantan Island is strategically located at the sea's edge. Halrua's southern side faces the sea, so any Halruan who wishes to reach Central Land by sea must pass through Lantan. Consequently, the two sides are in a situation where they can remember their grudges but struggle to establish closer ties.

Thus, this hatred gradually accumulated.

Against this backdrop, how could the Lantan people actually come to the Halua capital?!

Even though the Halua people had already recognized the extraordinary talents of Emiya and his group, they had never expected that they actually had such talent in diplomacy.

This shocking news immediately excited most of the elders who weren't in the capital. They quickly handed over their tasks, and dozens of teleportation magic waves began to explode outside the Elders' Hall in Halayach.

Seeing this scene, Tita felt sweat on her head.

Lantan's strength was never comparable to Halrua's. The feud between the two families was, in a sense, quite civilized—in fact, Halrua's strength could easily crush most nations on Faerun, and Lantan was definitely not one of the few nations that could stand up to Halrua.

However, the Halrua people do not have a strong desire for external expansion, nor are they so overbearing as to launch a nationwide war against foreign countries over a single conflict.

Even so, after seeing that Halrua had also experienced the disaster of arcane magic, the number of members of the Elder Council still reached over a hundred. That is to say, the now disabled Halrua still had more than a hundred eighth-ring mages.

This background is a bit too outrageous.

"The Lantan people were quite frightened by Halrua." Sig said gloatingly, "I guess we don't have to worry about any trouble here."

Let’s get straight to the point.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tachi snapped his fingers, sending a low, phantom sound resonating throughout the hall. "Alright, silence. Now, Elder Emiya will speak and report on the progress of this trip."

The conference hall fell silent.

Emiya stood up and said, "Please allow me to make this short. The dwarf lady behind me is the current leader of the Lantan Gund Church and also the current supreme leader of Lantan. I am honored to invite her to visit Halrua. Please welcome her."

Tita couldn't help swallowing.

Emiya's words gave her enough face - although Lan Tan and Halua had a grudge, their status was not strictly equal.

Her fate in Halruaa depends on how the Elders Council responds to this statement.

Fortunately, the deadly silence did not last long.

Soon, thunderous applause rang out in the conference hall, and everyone present put their hearts at ease.

A good beginning is half the battle.

"Everyone, I have brought good news and bad news."

Emiya said: "The good news is that before our trip, we hoped to cooperate with Lan Tan, but we had not yet reached a conclusion on how to cooperate. However, what we saw and heard during our trip has given me some ideas. If we can cooperate with Lan Tan, we will be able to find hope for a breakthrough.

"The bad news is that our enemies may be stronger than we imagined." Emiya stood up and gestured a huge illusion in the center of the hall. "During our trip, we witnessed a large-scale attack launched by the Holy Elemental Church on the Fritia Alliance. Unfortunately, it was completely different from our previous expectations."

How exactly do the dragons of Abel wage war?

This is of course the most pressing question that Halua needs to resolve right now.

In their estimation, the dragons of the Holy Elemental Church were clearly more tightly organized, perhaps preferring to concentrate their forces on a single breakthrough. Meanwhile, the Fritia Alliance, with its individual strength being stronger overall, would be more inclined to extend the battle line, fighting the Holy Elemental Church in every corner of the sky.

After capturing Greenwalt, the latter assumption was confirmed—the Fritia Alliance had an absolute advantage in one-on-one combat. Their warfare style often involved the Dragon King Kearney laying out a grand strategic goal and pointing out the key points of the battle.

Release this information, and then let the loose dragons of the Fritia Alliance play freely.

And the effect is said to be very good. This form of war that can spread to every corner of the sky has made the Elemental Holy Church run around in a panic.

However, the form of warfare that the Holy Church of Elements was truly adept at was far beyond their imagination.

The reason they have been able to fight the Fritia Alliance until today is because they have a wonderful combined attack formation similar to the Great Ritual.

A fire tornado that is taller than the mountains and can easily sweep across the entire Halruaa?

Upon hearing the news, the Elders' Hall fell silent.

At this time, an elder couldn't help but ask, "If the Holy Elemental Church can cause a natural disaster of this level, then how did the Fritia Alliance defeat them?"

Emiya sighed. "It's better to say that this attack method, temporarily named Elemental Scourge, is one of the reasons why the Fritia Alliance chose this form of combat."

It is even one of the reasons why Abel's civilization did not prosper.

If you cannot evacuate the property you have worked so hard to accumulate in time in the face of an elemental disaster, it will be reduced to ashes after the storm.
