Although the Iron Castle of Oman Island is no longer the royal capital of Kendik, it is the core of the entire Lunaris Islands in terms of geographical location and nature.

This was once the temple and royal capital of the Frunt druids, and more than 1,000 years ago, for some reason, the Fren people moved the royal capital to Calcalidil on the southern island of Quines.

In the blink of an eye, the original Iron Castle became the largest and strongest fortress of the Northern Continent on the island of Oman, and it also produced the most alternative paladins in the whole of Correll, as well as its advanced classes, the Templar and the Holy Grail Knight.

Apparently believing in the Light, it is one of the most terrifying and violent kingdoms in the entire Kendic dynasty, and it is also inhabited by the most warlike people in the entire Lunaris Islands.

What makes outsiders puzzled is that in the past ten centuries, the Hokuriku people and the Fu people have maintained a fighting relationship, and even the intermarriage of the two races will be rejected by the mainstream, but the two still maintain a certain tacit coexistence relationship, and when some foreign forces invade, the two will also work together with the outside world, just like this time the Moon Sea War.

In Alicia?? After the supreme queen of Kendik ascended the throne, the people of Hokuriku were once impressed by the queen's bearing, and thus officially incorporated into the Kendik dynasty.

The Lunaris Islands have always been isolated overseas, and they also refuse to trade with the coastal city-states of Sword Bay, so some information about the Lunaris Islands is often a bit erroneous, and they can't even tell the relationship between the Hokuriku and the Fu people.

It's just that now, although there are not many people, this extraordinarily strong kingdom seems to have been lost under the strong ships and cannons of Luskan.

On the walls of the Iron Fortress, which used to be full of sharp spears, Akrem, dressed in a heavy coat, was looking at the bare mountains that had been chiseled in the distance to the south, and he didn't know what to think, so that the parrot on his shoulder was a little sleepy.

The mountain range was once the sacred place of the Druids of the Frucifers, the training ground of the Druids of the Werewolf School, and later the forbidden place of the Iron Castle and the training place of the Paladin.

But now the paladins here are either killed or captured, and the common civilians are engaged in a never-ending excavation work under the threat of whips and blades, and it seems that under the ruins of this temple, there are treasures that fascinate the leader of the Arcane Brotherhood.

At this moment, an old mage with a slender figure slowly walked up the steps, and reported to Aklem with a calm face:

"President, my people just received an interesting message, I wonder if you would be interested in hearing it?"

Before Aklem could turn around, the parrot on his shoulder suddenly came to his senses and said in a loud voice:

"Tell me! Tell me! I'll eat you if it's not interesting!"

The leader of the Arcane Brotherhood didn't bother it, but touched its head, and fed him a piece of meat from an unknown creature, which was obviously the size of a fist, but was forcibly swallowed by it, and he rolled his eyes in choking, but he was reluctant to spit it out.

Aklem slowly turned around and said with a warm smile:

"Oh, Surzak, you didn't give me a good attack on Quines Island, did this bring me any bad news? I'm a little tired of hearing the bad news this time, could it be that our Luskan has fallen?"

The man who came was Surzak, one of the five generalissimos of Luskan who was and is still present.

Although many people now suddenly understand that most of the original Supreme Commanders have long been eroded by the Arcane Brotherhood and become their pawns, this does not mean that Aklem can be perfunctory with them.

On the contrary, whether it is the current Marshal Luskan or the Lord of the Four Towers of the Stone Tree, he is the one he relies on.

Even if... There are times when they are not so harmonious.

But some mages have analyzed, isn't that what this president wants to see?

Compared to the supreme marshals who were hugging together, the president was probably more willing to see the marshals scattered, even if this often caused unnecessary internal friction in Luskan.

"How is it possible, just those few poor and remote northland city-states, I'm afraid that until now, they have not finished war mobilization and baggage preparations. As for Kalkalidil, after all, it is a royal city that has been run by the Kendik dynasty for thousands of years, and we still need some time to prepare. ”

Hearing the president's incomparably big joke, the corners of Surzak's mouth twitched, and most of his good mood when he heard that his political opponent had come out of the big basket suddenly disappeared, and after thinking about it, he still reported:

"What I've heard is that there seem to be some baskets on Reitner's side, not only have they sunk half of their ships, but there are also a few dead ship materials from the squid colony, which will be detrimental to the layout of our Sword Bay. ”

If it were Levi in Aklem's position, I am afraid that he would be so angry that he would scold his mother, but the president only raised his eyebrows slightly, so he asked in a timely manner:

"That's really bad news, is that unlucky guy that it's a storm?"

Seeing that this difficult guy was finally willing to give himself room to speak, Surzak smiled and said:

"If it was a stormy day, that Leitner guy should have come back to ask you for the guilt, and by the way, he would have asked you for the ownership of another ship, where would it be like now, he didn't even dare to report this matter in the first place, so he took people ashore to encircle and suppress the group of northlanders. ”

"The Northlanders? When did they touch them? Is it Kelburn, or is it one of the Seven Northland sisters?"

Akram seems to have only then decided the seriousness of the matter, and this strategy of detouring behind enemy lines, he has not considered the possibilities, but with several old opponents he knows, none of them have this sneaky style.

Among them, the old guy of Kyleburn can be lewd, but he doesn't have the courage to risk his life, even if he still has the identity of a magic goddess elector on his head.

Surzak seemed to be extremely satisfied with the look on his face when he saw the president's miscalculation, but he didn't dare to rely on the old man because of this, but said directly:

"A silver dragon, Levi Sextus, Lord of Minas Stirris, to be exact, the upstart of the Northlands in recent decades.

"And now there is enough evidence to show that the ghost warships that lost contact in the Sea of Nlanthel are most likely the work of this Silver Dragon Lord. ”

This will make Aklem really a little surprised:

"Silver Dragon Lord Levi, I've heard his name, but I have the impression that he didn't enter the legend before he fell asleep, isn't it..."

Surzak said with a smile: "He is still not a legend now, there is a high probability that he is still at the peak of level 19, looking for his legendary destiny, but the creature of the dragon itself cannot be judged by common sense, besides, this silver dragon lord's territory has also developed an ironclad ship and a new type of steel golem, so Reitner's defeat is also reasonable."

"But I'm not here today to tell you about the mistakes of that idiot, but I think it's an opportunity, whether it's an ironclad ship or this new type of steel golem, to make up for our shortcomings in this regard. ”

Aklem shook his head slowly: "Whether it is an ironclad ship or a steel golem, even if we find the original form, if we want to crack, imitate, trial-produce, debug, and mass-produce this series, I am afraid it will not be possible to complete it in a few years, and it is too slow for us today." ”

It's just that to Surzak's surprise, Akelem changed his words halfway through and asked:

"However, you said that they had broken through Retna's fleet and entered the island of Quines?"

Surzak immediately seized the opportunity and said: "Yes, after killing the squid prince of Karlofish, the silver dragon lord crashed into the island of Quines with that ironclad ship, and that fool of Reitner only knows about the hidden information and delayed military information, I am worried about what impact that silver dragon will have on your overall plan." ”

It was only then that Aklem's complexion became serious:

"Indeed, in any case, our plans cannot be affected in any way. ”

He groaned for a while, and ordered: "In this case, Surzak, the offensive against Kalidil is suspended, and you divide a part of your team to encircle and suppress the silver dragon, and I will let Renate cooperate with you, and be sure to behead it." ”

Surzak was waiting for this order, and he couldn't wait to see Reinate's constipated expression but had to be controlled by himself, and said happily:

"Following your will, your wisdom, will lead us to the Arcane Brotherhood in our quest for the roots of magic!"

"The root of magic will be found! The root of magic will be found! Hmm..."

The parrot on the president's shoulder was noisy again.

"You can't stop eating meat!"

Akram stuffed another piece of meat into the parrot's mouth, then waved his hand at Surzak and said:

"You go down first. ”

"Yes!"

Just as Surzak left, a middle-aged man with his face hidden in a black hood came out of the shadows in the shadows, and said with a smile:

"Sure enough, even if you come to this wild land, there will be no shortage of killing and strife, no wonder the priests of the God of Killing always like to come here, but it seems that you are also in trouble. ”

"Will you solve my troubles, Mr. Agarson Nasre?" said Aklem with a polite smile back to Bane's priest.

"If stirring up a dispute can solve your troubles, I, Agarthan, am naturally willing to serve you. ”

The smile on Agarson's face was still undiminished, and then he got to the point:

"What I came here to tell you is that the materials you gave me are not good, I have been dead for too long, and the blood has long lost its vitality, I need to be more alive... Good enough, Kendik royal blood. ”

Hearing the word 'material', Akram was visibly unhappy, but instead of saying anything more, he chuckled:

"Then you go and help me take down Karkalidil, the royal family in the royal city is enough to meet your needs. ”

"Don't make fun of me, there's a famous Mystery Lock, and a cult of the Dark God like me can't get in. ”

Agarson hurriedly waved his hand, and then his squinted eyes opened slightly:

"Aklem, my old friend, actually, you should know what I'm talking about.

"When the Iron Keep fell, a Templar escorted a red-haired princess through a secret passage to the island of Quines, should I say that this princess was so lucky, or was this Templar brave and invincible?"

Aklem said indifferently:

"If you have one more of her, you may not be able to use it. ”

But Agarson sneered:

"But if you don't have one less of her, you might not be able to make it up. ”

"Agarson!" Aklem snorted.

But Agarson sped up his speech without giving any face, and said sternly:

"And most importantly, although you claim to have breached their royal city to allow the coastal city-states to temporarily discourage the idea of dealing with you Luskan, the opposite is that with the help of the Black Rod Lord Kelburn, the Northland Drawing Water City, Minas Stirris, and the Silvermoon Federation have joined forces to attack Luskan and force you to send your troops back, and the Silver Dragon Lord has already traveled to the Moonshadow Isles through Karinsan.

"But now the Kalkalidil lock is fully open, and you don't have a good way except for Chen Bing's soft grinding and hard bubbles!

"So, when are you going to wait?

"When Luskan is bulldozed by the Northland City Coalition?

"When that silver dragon crashes into our plan and comes with a horde of self-proclaimed righteous metal dragons to stir things up?

"Or wait until you, the leader of the Arcane Brotherhood, have exhausted all his prestige in front of that group of marshals and tower masters, and the whole of Luskan falls apart?"

Seeing that the disputing priest's questioning voice became sharper and more caustic, Aklem interrupted calmly:

"Agarson, I'm Achillem, when will it be your turn as a Discord Cultist to teach me how to do things?"

Seeing that the leader of the Arcane Brotherhood was really angry, Agarthon smiled again, squinted his eyes and said softly:

"Ha! I'm overstepping, and I'm sure you, President, will make a wise choice then. ”

With that, the Cultist of Discord slowly disappeared into the shadows, just as he had come, and from the darkness came his demonic whisper:

"Oh, do not forget, O thy covenant with my lord, my dear... will grow up. ”

Aklem took a deep breath, and only after the troublesome Cultist of Discord was really gone, did he curse angrily:

"Damn bastard!"

This dictator, who was as decisive as a god among the people of Luskan, did not show a trace of exhaustion until this moment.

At the same time, he raised his guard again against the disputing pastor named Agarson.

That's the man who once drove the magic electorate Samaste to madness.

And if the Kendic royal family hadn't said anything panicked...

So, being targeted by that venomous and disheartened Cultist of Dismay...

I'm afraid it's the only remaining blood in this world...

He stood at the top of the city and looked at it for a long time, and then took a deep breath:

"Everything, in order to get to the root of magic. ”
