Chapter 239: Let's have a cigarette

The dragon's might, scorching heat, and the mountain-like body, with the texture of magma, the complete posture of the Shadow Flame Dragon, just like the indifference flashing in its pair of vertical pupils, makes people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

But after the fear, there will be a kind of beauty that rises spontaneously as if the soul is shocked.

It is not marveled at the beauty of the Shadow Flame Dragon's posture, but shocked by the beauty of its surging and powerful power.

"Dragon!"

Russell retracted his gaze and dared not to peek at the posture of the Shadow Flame Dragon again, but just this short moment of watching, the Shadow Flame Dragon has left an indelible impression in his mind, that is the perfect embodiment of the strongest power in the extraordinary world.

It is also the ultimate posture of the power of the earth.

He has been completely deprived of his mind by the posture of the Shadow Flame Dragon, and he did not even notice the large number of two-legged dragons and fantasy beasts and birds that landed after it.

"Greetings to His Highness Shadow Flame!" The voice of Kunbif Shadow Flame sounded first, which broke the silence at the moment.

Count Osklo Shuiliu, who had just come to his senses, shouted in a muffled voice: "Osklo, meet His Highness Shadow Flame!"

"Meet His Highness Shadow Flame!"

"Meet His Highness Shadow Flame!"

The nobles followed suit, shouting one wave higher than the other.

The Shadow Flame Dragon did not react at all. It had no sense of substitution for this kind of kowtow between humans.

But beside the Shadow Flame Dragon, Grand Duke Kunstan Shadow Flame, who was completely ignored by Russell, jumped off the back of a falcon-like fantasy beast and stepped forward step by step until he was level with the head of the Shadow Flame Dragon.

Count Osklo saw Grand Duke Kunstan clearly this time and immediately shouted in a muffled voice: "Osklo, meet the Grand Duke!"

"Meet the Grand Duke!"

"Meet the Grand Duke!"

Another round of greetings.

Unlike the indifference of the Shadow Flame Dragon, the young, feminine and handsome Grand Duke Kunstan enjoyed the greetings from the knights kneeling on the ground.

An unconcealable smug smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, everyone please stand up."

"Thank you, Grand Duke!" Count Osklo responded, and then stood up.

Russell also stood up, and then looked past Grand Duke Kunstan and saw his grandfather, Count Merlin, and another large number of noble knights behind him. These knights were either flying dragon knights or fantasy beast knights, and they were all the elite of the Grand Duchy.

But in the background of the Shadow Flame Dragon, they were already insignificant. Even the triumphant Grand Duke Kunstan at this moment was eclipsed by the glory of the Shadow Flame Dragon.

The nobles and knights of the entire Grand Duchy respected neither Grand Duke Kunstan nor the Shadow Flame Dragonblood Family.

The source of awe was and only the Shadow Flame Dragon.

However, after the Shadow Flame Dragon glanced at the knights present, it raised its head high and looked northwest.

It seemed to have crossed a distance of more than 100 kilometers and saw its mortal enemy, the snow giant Da.

At this moment

The only one who could attract its attention was the snow giant Da.

"Everyone, you are all the backbone of my Grand Duchy." Grand Duke Kunstan stood in the shadow of the Shadow Flame Dragon, enduring the high temperature burning, and gave a temporary war mobilization speech, "Guard the border and rest with the country!"

"Twenty-one years ago, the Fall on the Snowfield had a profound impact on my Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, and Your Excellency Shadow Flame had to rest for twenty years."

Grand Duke Kunstan paced back and forth, holding the hilt of the sword, looking around at everyone: "How can the deep hatred of twenty years be eliminated... Now, the snow giant Da has awakened and invaded the territory of my Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame again. This is a crisis, but also an opportunity!"

"What kind of opportunity, revenge, and the opportunity to completely clear the way for the expansion of my Grand Duchy!"

Clang.

Grand Duke Kunstan drew out his sword, with several gems of different colors inlaid on the hilt: "At this moment, from Lord Shadow Flame onwards, I, you, him, all the knights of the Grand Duchy, we must be ready to kill the snow giant Da completely in one battle!"

Paused.

He changed the subject and his tone became serious: "In this battle, you, me, and him may all die, but the will and courage of the knights will inspire us to burst out unprecedented combat power. In the end, we will win this war under the leadership of Lord Shadow Flame!"

Raising the sword high, the gems sparkled in the sunlight.

Grand Duke Kunstan roared: "In this war, I, Kunstan Shadow Flame, will swear to kill the snow giant Da to the death!"

Buzz!

The long sword fell from a height, and the sword light directly cut a deep gully on the cracked ground: "Please knights, lend me a hand!"

It was Count Osklo again who took the lead in responding: "I am willing to follow the Grand Duke and swear to kill the snow giant!"

With the leader, everyone began to shout loudly: "Follow the Grand Duke and swear to kill the snow giant!"

Russell was mixed in, and shouted loudly with a serious face: "Swear to kill the snow giant!"

Such an oath and such a scene finally made the Shadow Flame Dragon lower its head and carefully scan the knights, but it was just a glance, and soon it continued to raise its head and look at the northwest direction.

Grand Duke Kunstan was very proud and felt that he had boosted the morale of the Knights, and wanted to continue to say something.

But Count Merlin had already walked over: "Your Highness, it's time to discuss the layout of this war."

"Okay, everyone, follow me into the tent to discuss how to conduct this war." Grand Duke Kunstan strode into the command tent.

Just as he was about to say a few more words to boost morale.

But he saw Count Merlin walked to the main seat of the command tent without any hesitation, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Twenty-one years ago, I followed the former Grand Duke and fought against the snow giant Da for three days and three nights. The scene of that day is still vivid in my mind."

Grand Duke Kunstan was a little embarrassed, secretly glared at Count Merlin, and wanted to scold Count Merlin, but he finally endured it.

He had just ascended the throne for less than half a year, and his prestige was not enough to convince the people, especially for forcing Count Merlin to retreat by dishonorable means. This certainly won the opportunity to rule the country, but it failed to shake Count Merlin's popularity.

As soon as Count Merlin opened his mouth, everyone listened to his instructions solemnly, as if they were back in the period when the Senate was in power.

Even Count Osklo, who had always been at odds with Count Merlin, had no objection.

Russell watched all this silently, and soon understood the reason - now it was a life-and-death battle. Compared with the young and inexperienced Grand Duke Kunstan, everyone still felt that it was easier to survive under the command of Earl Merlin.

"We must cut off the connection between the Snow Demon Legion and the Snow Giant Da, leaving enough fighting space for His Highness Shadow Flame... At the same time, the Dragon Knights must ensure sufficient mobility and support His Highness Shadow Flame at any time to contain the Snow Giant Da."

Earl Merlin carefully considered it on the sand table, and repeatedly asked about the situation on the battlefield: "How many knight groups have been assembled so far?"

"Twenty knight groups, including the Dragon Blood Knights where I am." The speaker was the Golden Dragon Knight Lord Robert, who was the Knight Commander of the Dragon Blood Knights, a knight group composed entirely of great knights.

One third of the members were Fantasy Beast Knights.

It can be said that the most elite knight group in the entire Grand Duchy is this Dragon Blood Knights.

"It's less than 21 years ago, but the number of snow demons is also much less... So, the knights take their positions and try to drive the snow demons to the outside... His Highness Shadow Flame is in another direction, staring at the snow giants... We will win this battle!"

Said.

Earl Merlin smoothed the sand table, then signaled the knights around him to spread a box of cigars: "This is the Rain Dragon cigar invented by my grandson for me. You should have heard of it. I invite everyone to smoke one. After smoking this cigar, the knights should also be reorganized."

The White Dew series of Rain Dragon cigars were spread one by one.

Earl Merlin also saw Russell in the corner, nodded slightly to Russell, and then said solemnly: "After a cigar, I want to see every knight group charge fearlessly and pierce into the snow demon army like a sword!"

Everyone responded solemnly: "Yes!"

After lighting the cigars, the coaches of each knight group left one after another.

Russell also followed Baron Roman back to the camp of the Knights of the Glowing Valley, and began to reorganize the Knights and march towards the snowfield.

Only Count Merlin and Grand Duke Kunstan were left in the headquarters tent.

The old and the young did not look at each other and fell into a silent silence.
