Chapter 496 Eri Yi’s Crisis
The prisoners were silent at first, but after a few seconds, someone came out.
With silver hair, blue eyes and a full beard, he was Lu Chen's former "inmate" next door, named Brent. He was once a glorious Great Wall soldier and was awarded the title of knight for his military exploits.
He knelt down on one knee and performed a knightly etiquette, "I am willing to fight with the Duke to defend the enemy!"
As the first one came out, more and more people came forward.
"I am willing to accompany the Duke to fight against the enemy!"
"I am willing to accompany the Duke to fight against the enemy!"
"I am willing to accompany the Duke to fight against the enemy!"
…
They made a choice between slowly rotting in prison and dying gloriously in battle.
This is atonement for one’s sins and the beginning of a new life.
Moreover, even if they are powerful, they may not die on the battlefield.
"From today on, you form an army of your own, called Lawful."
Lu Chen announced that the reason for this name was because none of these prisoners had ever escaped from prison, and they obviously all had this ability.
On the way back to the camp, Brent couldn't help but get out of the queue, walked to Lu Chen's side, and asked anxiously: "Commander, I want to know, Ruth..."
Lu Chen knew what the other party was asking. Brent's fiancée had the same name as King Kusla's princess, but of course they were not the same person. He had not forgotten his agreement with the other party. He had passed by one when traveling in the northern border. Visit the small town of Brandon.
He raised his hand and patted the knight's shoulder. "I don't want to lie to you. There should be no survivors in Brandon Town."
Brent froze. Although he had guessed the result, he still couldn't accept it. That was his hometown. If attacked by abyssal creatures, civilians would have no chance of survival.
Sadness and anger surged in his heart, but he didn't even have a sword in his hand at this time, and there was no enemy in front of him.
Lu Chen walked forward without looking at Brent's reaction.
He only talked about the results, not the process when he went to the small town of Brandon.
Not every woman in the world will wait for someone to return infatuatedly. Brent, an upright man, is completely unnecessary to worry about certain things.
When he passed through the small town of Brandon, the child of Miss Ruth was already walking.
Of course, the father was not Brent. Miss Ruth was already married, and got married in the first year of Brent's imprisonment.
There was no need for him to say it and make Brent sad. The deceased was gone and there was no use saying anything now.
This is just a small microcosm of the pain of this incident. He doesn't know that many people died in this abyss disaster, but what's the use of crying bitterly?
Only move forward.
…………
On a full moon night, the cold wind blew Lu Chen's broken hair. He looked at the majestic buildings thirty miles away in front of him and sighed at the greatness of the creatures and creations of the Aika continent.
The Great Wall is nearly two hundred meters high. It is hard to imagine how it was built back then. Even with the wizards of the elves, this is a miracle.
The dark army gathered behind them, and the commanders of each army looked solemn. The day had finally come, and the shame they had once had to be washed away today.
Today, the Moon Wolf Tribe put on the clothes that Lu Chen had prepared in advance. Anarius was also very happy to be given a beautiful long dress. After putting it on, she looked at herself in the stream and realized that human beings Why wear clothes.
Indeed, it looks beautiful when worn.
Everything followed the previously prepared tactics, starting with the Moon Wolf clan's forbidden spell, burning the defenders at the top of the city, and then using magic to change the terrain. The army rushed directly up the slope to the top of the city.
But when the firelight lit up in the sky, Lu Chen's extraordinary vision sensed something was wrong.
He unexpectedly discovered that the top of the Great Wall was empty.
In order to prevent fraud, Lu Chenyi, a master of art, had the courage to activate the fourth level of dragon blood, fly into the air, and approach the Great Wall. He was suddenly confused.
It's really empty, there are no defenders of the abyss here.
Obviously, the intelligence obtained by the scouts yesterday clearly confirmed that there are four million abyss defenders here. Even if the number is different, there should be defenders everywhere on the Great Wall.
Lu Chen cautiously flew over the city, and finally landed at the city. He found that there were really no abyssal creatures here. While dodging the flames falling from the sky, he looked to the north. In the far distance, he saw the receding abyss. Army.
The creatures of the abyss...withdrew! ?
Why?
He was obviously prepared for a deadly battle with a lot of casualties today, just to recapture a pass first, but the abyssal creatures actually retreated!
Returning to the team, he looked gloomy and said, "The abyssal creatures have withdrawn their troops. Let's enter the city first."
He also has the ability to sense elements. There are no traps in this important part of the Great Wall, and the abyssal creatures have indeed withdrawn.
"Evacuated!?"
Gree was a little confused, "Isn't this a good thing? Why are you unhappy, Marshal?"
"The commander-in-chief thinks that the creatures of the abyss have a conspiracy, and they have no reason to withdraw their troops."
Gu Lanting thought deeply, and he also felt a little uneasy.
The creatures of the abyss are greedy and cruel. It's strange enough that they didn't take advantage of the victory and invade the inland. They even withdrew their troops while retaining the Great Wall. It doesn't look right no matter how you look at it.
Lu Chen led his troops into the Great Wall and sent several Moon Wolf tribe members to investigate the situation in several other important places on the Great Wall. He suspected that the Abyss was not the only place where troops had been withdrawn.
If the abyss creatures completely withdraw, it may seem like a good thing on the surface, but in fact, there may be a greater crisis.
Could it be said that...the abyssal creatures' attack on the Aika continent has some unknown purpose and has been achieved?
…………
Over the Aisir Forest, strong winds roared past, rolling up the leaves.
The shadows that covered the sky and the sun passed across, and overwhelming pressure descended.
The scales of those red dragon wings shone brightly under the sunlight.
A light green light rises from the depths of the forest. Dressed in moon-white gauze, the golden hair under the crown dances in the wind, a graceful and luxurious woman walks in the air holding a scepter.
Her beauty is natural. Even though she is 2,600 years old, her appearance has not aged, but has a mature charm.
With the majesty of having been in a high position for a long time in her brows, she looked at the giant dragon in the air, "Alex, what are you doing in my Aisir Forest?"
The giant red dragon wing in front of me is nearly three hundred meters long. The dragon's wings are spread out, not waving, but hovering in the air. The elements surrender to it, as if it is carrying a throne.
Alex, from Dragon Nest, is one of the strongest dragons. The world is deeply impressed by the guardian dragon Egg, but they don’t know that she is just a "junior" in Dragon Nest.
People think that Aig is the strongest dragon, just because no other dragon family has ever walked on the continent of Aika.
Alex's golden pupils looked down at the Elf Queen, and a majestic and magnetic voice sounded: "Kill the medium of the abyss."
Elf Queen Lilith's pupils shrank and her face darkened, "What does this mean?"
"The prophecy of the elves must have been mentioned, and you should be the one who knows it best..."
Alex was interrupted by the Elf Queen in the middle of her words.
"Shut up, do you Dragon Valley want to start a war with the elves!?"
The Elf Queen looked unhappy, but her heart was beating faster.
"War? Are your people really willing to go to war with us? Just for the medium of the abyss? That creature that should have died long ago?"
Alex's eyes were calm and her voice did not fluctuate.
"Nonsense!"
The Elf Queen said angrily.
"The prophecy is absolute, just like someone once didn't believe that the child would cause disaster to the dragon clan, and then Iger died in his hands."
Alex said calmly, "And the prophecy also said that the red-haired elves will destroy the continent. We dragons never lie."
The Elf Queen waved with one hand, "Moon Attendant!"
Following her order, tens of thousands of elves rose up on the wind and stood behind her, each with solemn expressions and powerful magic surging around them, ready to collectively launch the most powerful forbidden spell at any time.
Alex's eyes looked at the Elf Queen calmly, as if she didn't care at all about the Moon Warriors behind her, "You should know that magic is of little use to us."
Not only do their dragons have good physical defense, but they are also highly resistant to magic damage, and can easily resist even forbidden spells.
That's why it dared to go to the Aisir Forest as a dragon. Even if there was a war, it would be sure to escape unscathed.
It continued: "Don't you want me to tell the past story to the world? Oh...it seems to have been spread in the human kingdom now."
When the Elf Queen heard this, her expression suddenly changed, "Alex, this is your final warning, exit the Ahir Forest, otherwise you won't be able to leave today."
There was a trace of amusement in Alex's eyes, "Do you love your daughter so much? You would not hesitate to let the Ahir Forest fall into war for her? Just like... the Elf King back then?"
The magic in the air became restless, and after the Elf Queen gave the order, the elves behind her began to sing.
But at this moment, Alex flapped her wings and flew high into the sky, leaving the territory of the Ahir Forest.
There was only one sentence that echoed in the air, "I am not Ige. I will give you time to think about it, but this matter is non-negotiable. If you are not willing to take action, you will be diplomats in Aishier Forest in three days."
The Elf Queen raised her hand with a gloomy expression, causing the elves to stop singing, but the elves behind her could not see the fear and anxiety in her eyes.
The elves landed back in the forest. Although as the most outstanding Forbidden Curse Legion of the elves, the Moon Warriors were very disciplined, everyone had a strange look on their faces at this time.
It’s hard not to think too much about the Aspect Dragon and what Alex said today.
Especially when the other party said at the end that the Aisir Forest was jointly attacked by the orcs and humans, why does it sound like there is something hidden now?
Are we not guarding our home, but guarding something... something related to the abyss?
And because of this, so many companions were killed or injured?
In the forbidden area of Aisiel Forest, Eriki frowned slightly. Naturally, she also saw the scene just now and heard the words of the giant dragon Alex.
The other party should be coming for me, a red-haired elf, and he is the only one in the Aisir Forest.
Alex also said that she is the daughter of the Elf Queen. At present, it seems that the crisis mentioned in her main mission has arrived.
She didn't expect that a giant dragon would reappear in Dragon Valley and continue to hunt down the Elf Princess. This was a powerful enemy.
Eri's perception is very strong. This giant dragon is even stronger than Nidhogg when he fought Godzilla at the end of his world. He is the real ceiling of level 40.
Although she has learned a lot of elven spells during these days, she is at best considered a strong person in the Aika continent. There is a huge gap between her and Alex. Such tasks are only simple to average, probably because of the elves. Bless.
In addition, the strongest combat power of their "All Heavens Tour Group" is not bad, so it is such a difficult position.
But now it seems that if this task is not handled well, it will really... kill people.
The Elf Queen does love the Elf Princess very much, but are the Elf clan really willing to go to war with the Dragon clan?
The abyssal medium mentioned by Alex was also very concerning. Eryi quickly checked her own status. After opening the space menu, she breathed a sigh of relief when she found that everything was normal.
But she did not let down her guard and contacted Godzilla immediately.
…………
On the other side, Lu Chen had just received news from the Moon Wolf tribe's scouts at the Great Wall that all the troops in Abyss had really withdrawn.
Although he knew that things would not be that simple, he was still slightly relieved. In any case, the Great Wall was recaptured, and humans still retained a certain amount of troops.
In the days to come, as long as we recruit troops again and slowly replenish soldiers, the Great Wall will become strong again.
While eating, he suddenly received a call from Eri Yi.
After listening to Eriki's narration, he became nervous. Eriki's mission was a hidden secret. Unexpectedly, the Dragon Clan's undead elf princess was determined to send another dragon to find trouble.
If the Aisir Forest finally compromises, wouldn't Eriyi be dead?
No, calm down, the Elf Queen will not make friends easily, she still has time, think about the situation first.
He opened the world public screen. Because he had been very busy leading troops in the north recently, he had no time to watch the conversations of the explorers. Now he needed to see if he could get any information.
"There have been a lot of rumors recently. I didn't expect that there are still such melons available on the Aika continent."
"When I read the world background introduction, I felt something was wrong. It turns out that the orcs and humans attacked the Ashir Forest for this reason."
"The Elf King's head is really the great forest of Ahir, which perfectly illustrates that if you love her, you must forgive her."
"It's so exciting, hehehe."
"..."
Lu Chen browsed through it and flipped forward again before he understood what had happened.
Nowadays, something is spreading throughout the empire, and a shocking secret has been revealed.
That is the Elf Queen, who is unclean!
The elf princess Dakosi was not the product of her and the elf king, but the product of an accident during the battle against the abyss and being raped by an abyss overlord.
After learning that the Elf Queen was pregnant, the great shaman of the Orc tribe at the time predicted that this incident would bring devastating disaster to the Aika continent, so the upright Orc King at that time forced the Elf tribe to execute the Elf Queen. Naturally, the Elf King could not Agree, so the war started.
People on the mainland don't know the inside story. The truth is only in the hands of a few high-level races. Now I don't know who has exposed this secret.
Although it is unclear why the Elf Queen did not think of a way to kill the child in her belly and still gave birth to her, but things may not be as simple as she thought.
Because abyssal creatures are actually... not good at lasciviousness.
There is no plot as everyone thinks. After they entered the northern border, they only burned, killed and looted, not raped and plundered.
Different races have different aesthetics. From the perspective of abyssal creatures, humans are just ugly but delicious food. The same goes for the elves.
So an abyss overlord would invade the Elf Queen?
This is as absurd as a king with a harem of three thousand beauties violating a pig.
There was obviously something else hidden in it. The Abyss side had a special purpose, and Lu Chen felt that the retreat of the Abyss troops might be related to this matter.
Now that people in the mainland have learned the truth, they all believe that the elf princess Dakosi should be executed. They feel that the guardian dragon did the right thing back then. After all, this is a seed from the abyss. Combined with the prophecy, maybe it will really destroy the mainland?
According to an explorer, people are talking about this matter in restaurants and teahouses in the mainland. They are all talking loudly, as if they have knives in their hands and go directly to the Aisir Forest to "remove harm to the people" .
Lu Chen was a little annoyed when he saw it, but from a third-party perspective, this kind of thinking of ordinary people seemed to be correct.
You are a species of abyssal creature, and you have so many "authoritative" guarantees. You also caused many racial wars back then, causing heavy casualties to the elves, orcs, and humans. It is very ominous no matter how you look at it.
Lu Chen checked his reputation value. When he checked it three days ago, it was already over 7,000. Now it has dropped by several hundred. I am afraid it is because of this rumor.
Those who spread rumors are not only emphasizing the dangers of the Elf Princess, but also worsening the image of Duke Godzilla, who once killed the Aspect Dragon to protect the Elf Princess.
In the past, everyone didn't know the inside story. Some women even thought that Duke Godzilla was very romantic, strong and loving, and even spread some romance stories in private.
But now people can't excuse it, because there is really something wrong with the elf princess, so Duke Godzilla's behavior back then was very unimpressive.
After all, people are selfish. They only care about whether the mainland can be well and whether they can be well. They don't want any "disaster that destroys the continent" to exist.
Lu Chen calmed himself down. These were just tasks. They were just plot identities brought into the space to arrange for them. They had to be exposed and their emotions could not be affected.
What made him a little worried was that no one in the royal capital notified him of such a major matter even though it was a rumor related to him!
He left several veterans in the royal capital to manage the Duke's Mansion, just so that he could use the magic crystal to contact him immediately if he noticed any major events in the royal capital.
They had a phone call three days ago to report to themselves about the Moon Wolf Clan's riding equipment. Unexpectedly, so many things had happened in just a few days. I'm afraid those who stayed in the capital were in trouble. At least he was imprisoned.
The rumors first spread in the mainland. The only place that can record such a secret event is the Howard family's clan. It is self-evident who is the driving force behind this incident.
A sneer appeared on Lu Chen's lips. In order to suppress his reputation, King Kusla really spared no effort.
Do you really think that I...don't dare to kill anyone now?
…………
In the forbidden area of the Ahir Forest, the guards moved away, and Elf Queen Lilith walked in and looked at her red-haired daughter.
This child was so beautiful, innocent, kind, and well-behaved. He was the only light in her heart after her husband died.
How could I be willing to kill her?
What the giant dragon Alex said angered Lilith, who thought of things too dirty.
Dakosi is indeed the daughter of herself and the previous elf king, because it is impossible for abyss creatures to have children with elves.
