Chapter 294: Preparations for the Defense of the Whole City
Honey Bone Hotel
At this time, everyone was shocked and looked at the future Lucy, at first everyone thought that this future Lucy was the twin star Jemini became, but later it was denied, this Lucy came from the future, the purpose was to tell them that there were about to be 10,000 dragons attacking here, and now everything in Kulokas is to deal with this crisis.
"It's hard to imagine that 10,000 dragons will come soon......" Max said.
"And we're all going to be in that catastrophe in the future...... Troy said, scared.
"What are you afraid of, didn't Lucy say that the kingdom already has a solar eclipse plan, the eclipse plan is to destroy 10,000 dragons, and Lucy will not have this plan at that time in the future......" Rebi said.
"Again, with this Eclipse Project, we should be able to wipe out all the dragons......" Jett said.
"Natsu, will Ignir be among the dragons......" Harpy said as he looked at Natsu, who was silent.
"Not ......," Natsu said lightly.
"Huh...... Is Natsu so sure?" said Harpy, surprised.
"Ignir will not make a move against humans, there is absolutely no Ignir among the ten thousand dragons...... I don't know why, but that's how I feel......" Natsu explained softly.
"For me now, I'm not concerned about Ignir......" Natsu said, closing her eyes.
"Eh......" Harpy was even more surprised, the Natsu in front of him was completely different from the usual Natsu.
"Now...... I want to duel with those 10,000 dragons even more...... Hahaha......" Natsu, who was calm with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and the whole person became extremely excited and roared, so excited that even flames erupted from his mouth, "Why hasn't the dragon come over yet...... Uncle Natsu is here, watch me beat you up one by one...... Haha......"
Seeing Natsu like this, black lines appeared on everyone's foreheads.
"I thought Natsu had changed, but it turned out to be the same......" Harpy sighed helplessly, "and it's better than before......"
"Your mouth is more invisible and hurtful than before......" Hearing Harpy say this, Lucy's complaining sickness also made a mistake.
"In any case, the king must have left us because of this time, so we should have prepared early," Elusa began.
"That's right, Elusa, Natsu, Gray, Guggill, and Lagerthath, you've just been through a hard fight, and now it's time to rest and regain some magic and strength, and if that's right, the king will be summoning us soon......" Makanov exclaimed.
"Lucy, I heard you say that the other person in the future is Rogge of the Sabertooth Tiger, and seems to want to kill you?" asked Makanov, looking at Lucy.
Makanov's expression was paid attention to after Guggill's expression, just now when Lucy and the others talked about these things, he was thinking about the future Rogge, and the shadow who fought with him in the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts should be the future Rogge.
"Hmm......" Lucy nodded, "That's what Ashu said, so let's come to the guild to hide ......"
"What is Ah Xiu doing now, that he has no time to protect you?" said Elusa, a little puzzled.
"I don't know...... Say what to prepare......" Mirajan shook her head.
"But Ashu also said that he would go to the Eclipse Gate in a short time......" Lucy continued.
"I don't know if there is a sentence to say, that future Rogge's strength is extremely strong...... And I don't think his purpose is pure," Guggill began.
"Well, Ah Xiu said the same thing, and he is not sure that he will be able to defeat this future Rog ......" Lucy said hurriedly after thinking of this.
"What is the purpose of Rogge's impurity in the future? It's a pity that the first generation is not here, otherwise I can ask her to analyze it......" Makanov said slowly.
"Want to kill Lucy...... Will Rogge ...... in the future," Natsu stopped yelling at this time, and his expression gradually became serious.
…………
After returning to the Honey Bone Hotel, Mirajane and Lucy stayed in the Honey Bone Hotel for more than an hour, and there was no danger, but the Kingdom Army sent messenger soldiers again.
The kingdom asked all the Wizard Guilds remaining in Kulokas to assemble in the Crystal Square in Kurokas, saying that they needed the help of the Wizards Guild on an important matter.
After this moment, everyone in Fairy Tail also determined that the kingdom's power was insufficient, and the power of the mage was very much needed.
Immediately, the entire guild began to set off for the crystal square of Kulokas.
At the same time, the work of repairing and Mebis in the entire Kulokasbu magic array has only completed about one-third of the minimum number, because it is necessary to modify the texture of the magic array with Mebis at the beginning, so the speed is very slow, and the speed is slowly increasing with the determination of the magic array, and because the repair work has been noticed by the kingdom, there is a soldier guarding the magic array that has been laid down.
Twenty minutes later, all the people of Fairy Tail have arrived at the Crystal Square, and there are already a lot of people in the Crystal Square at this time, and a large number of Kingdom troops are standing guard on the side of the square, and the square is full of magicians, and the six guilds in the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts except for the tail of the big crow are all together, and the fairy tail of the six guilds is the last to arrive.
"Sorry to excuse me, do you know where Mr. Xiu is?" Lucy asked a soldier on duty as she walked into the plaza.
"Mr. Xiu, is that the foreign envoy?" the soldier asked.
"Well, that's him, have you seen him?" Lucy nodded immediately.
"Know, Mr. Xiu is helping us to set up a defensive magic circle in the corner of Kulokas, Mr. Xiu is really a good person...... Helping us so much......" the soldier was grateful.
"I've heard it's a third of the way through," continued a soldier on the other side.
"I see, this is the necessary preparation......" After hearing the soldier's words, Mirajan understood what Xiu meant.
"It's because of the magic array that we set up to defend against dragon attacks, so we didn't want to protect you, so I let you join us," Elusa said.
"It's only been a long time to complete a third of it, what kind of magic array is it," Gray said.
"I'm concerned about being able to defend against the dragon's attack, and I still remember the horror of Akunororia......," said Shalulu.
"Can't every dragon be the same as Akunorria, I'm sure Ashu ......," Lucy said.
"Yes, we'll wait for the king now......" Elusa agreed.
"See, the old man with the crown who is as short as the president is our king" At this time, Harpy Fei looked in the sky at the crystal platform in the square, and from here it seemed that there was indeed a short old man with a crown standing on it.
The moment Harpy's words fell, Gray withdrew Harpy from the air and covered his mouth tightly, "Hey, he's the king, you actually call him an old man......" Gray looked around nervously and said, afraid that Harpy's words would reach the ears of some soldiers.
"What a fool," Xia Lu glanced at Harpy.
"I'm sorry, my mouth is fast for a while......" Gray said with Gray covering his mouth.
It seems that because there are still some people who did not come, the king did not speak after the arrival of all the members of Fairy Tail, but continued to wait.
Flower Palace
After nearly two hours, the Eclipse Gate, which was hidden in the depths of the Flower Palace, had been removed from the ground, and the huge building with a height of nearly forty meters and a width of thirty meters towered over the ground like a huge house, and if you didn't consider the role of this building, this building was absolutely very spectacular.
"It's completely out of the ground, and now we're waiting for the dragons to arrive," Aruga Dios said, looking at the Eclipse Gate.
"Yes......" Princess Jade nodded, at this time Princess Jade had already put on a coat and tied her long hair into a single ponytail, the whole person looked heroic, without the hesitation and softness of a few hours ago.
"Is there any trace of the dragons now" Princess Emerald turned to look behind her, and behind her there were countless Kingdom troops on standby.
"The east is calm, there is no sign of dragons," Princess Emerald shouted, and a soldier shouted in the distance.
"The West is also ......"
"It's the same with the North and the South," and two more soldiers shouted.
"Good," Princess Emerald nodded.
"Listen to me, I am the princess of Fiore, Fiore. E. Jade, I think you also know what will happen soon, this gate behind me is the Eclipse Gate, and soon a large number of dragons will attack this country, and this gate exists to destroy the dragons, but this is not enough, we also need to take up arms to protect our country, now please have the courage to defend our country......" Princess Jade said loudly to the soldiers in front of her.
"Defend our country, destroy the dragons, long live Your Highness Jade......" As Princess Jade's words fell, all the soldiers roared, and for a moment the surrounding space seemed to be trembling by this voice.
Seeing that the morale of the soldiers was so high, Princess Emerald couldn't help but laugh, such a scene made her feel more relieved, and she was confident that she would protect the country with the gate behind her.
"The Eclipse Project is ...... start," the next soldier pulled down a wrench at the base of the Eclipse Gate at the Emerald Princess's command.
Immediately, a large disc at the bottom of the left side of the Eclipse Gate moved slowly and made a "creaking" sound, like the movement of the gears of a large clock.
Aruga Dios looked at the Eclipse Gate that had already begun to operate, and his expression sank, "I don't know why, I always feel that Mr. Xiu seems to know something, and deliberately conceals everyone's ......" Aruga Dios secretly turned his head to look at the Jade Princess with an expectant face.
"Forget it, the Eclipse Project has been launched, so let me see how determined Her Highness the Princess is......" Aruga Dios said secretly in his heart.
…………
Time passed slowly, and the people in the city of Kulokas continued to evacuate, and there was no trace of the dragon attack for so many hours, which made the atmosphere in the kingdom army gradually tense.
During this time, a large number of magicians had gathered in the Crystal Square, and the magician guild that had been notified by the Kingdom Army was basically completely present.
At this time, standing on the crystal platform, the king also began to tell all the magicians about the eclipse.
The people of Fairy Tail already knew about it, so they didn't listen very carefully, but the people of the other guilds listened carefully, and in a few minutes, King Shilian said all the things that sounded troublesome.
The king only spoke in the big letters, and did not say who provided the information, nor did he say that the annual Great Demon Fighting Exercise was held to collect magic power, but simply stated that ten thousand dragons would soon attack the city.
"I'm sorry to have gathered you here on a day to celebrate, but we need the power of your magicians...... "The King said slowly, telling everyone the news of the Eclipse Project and the dragons' attack.
After hearing such astonishing news, the entire Crystal Square fell into silence.
"It seems that everyone is the same, the first time they heard the news...... Max said, looking around.
"Of course......" said Lebby.
However, at this time, everyone who came out of Fairy Tail was not surprised, and there was another person who was not surprised, that is, Stinger of the Sabertooth Tiger, after the Great Demon Fighting Exercise, he had heard about it from Elusa and Wendy, and at first he thought that Elusa and the others were joking, but now it seems that he was wrong.
"Ten thousand dragons and the Eclipse Project, Nazgo, they actually knew about these things for a long time, I underestimated Fairy Tail again" Stinger said secretly in his heart, looking in the direction of Fairy Tail, and sure enough, as he expected, everyone in Fairy Tail was calm and did not look surprised.
"Please, everyone, the kingdom needs your strength very much, it needs to use your power to protect this country, please, everyone, help us......" Seeing that all the guilds were silent, the king had to bend down and bow to all the magicians in prayer.
"In that case, the saber-toothed tiger can't lose......" Stinger smiled slightly, then clenched his fist and raised it again.
"Of course, we are also from this country, this is our country, how can we let it be destroyed......" Stinger's voice suddenly sounded in the quiet crystal square, so that everyone's expressions were startled.
"That's right, I'm going to protect my country......" As soon as Stinger's words fell, some unfamiliar voice rang out.
Soon, everyone reacted in the shock of the ten thousand dragons, and they all shouted.
The king couldn't help but laugh when he saw that all the magicians had agreed to his request, this was what he hoped for the most, and with the help of so many magicians' guilds, the chances of successfully protecting the country were a few points higher.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you...... Pumpkin ...... "The king immediately saluted everyone again and thanked him continuously, but the last sentence silenced the whole crystal square, and everyone looked at the king suspiciously, because the king's last words were all too familiar in tone and voice.
"Ah, that one, thank you so much......" The king immediately panicked after discovering that his language was out of shape, and said in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, how can we help you, 10,000 dragons is not a small number, can the Eclipse Project eliminate all the dragons?" asked Makanov loudly.
"That's what I'm talking about, we expect a few or hundreds to survive the Eclipse as planned, so we need your cooperation in destroying the remaining dragon......s," the king said.
"It turns out, for example, that there will always be survivors of any disaster...... "Makanov nodded.
"It's our job to destroy the few or hundreds of dragons that remain, and well, I'm burning......" Natsu excited.
"That's within the right range......" Elusa nodded.
"After the arrival of the dragons, if anyone is defeated, there are more than three hundred defensive magic arrays regularly distributed in some places of Kulokas, this magic array is set up by foreign envoys who are guests of our kingdom, and I heard that it can only defend against the dragon's full force...... "The king continued.
"Three hundred, isn't it a large defensive magic array?" said Gray with some surprise when he heard the king say this.
"Can only defend against the dragon's full force?, it's better not to, we magicians can't lose to those monsters......" Then some voices rang out.
"That's right, defeat those monsters and protect our country......" Then another roar rang out.
"You all ignore the defensive magic array like this......" Mirazhen said, looking around.
"Indeed, being able to defend against just one blow sounds useless...... However, since Ah Xiu has laid down such a magic array, it should have an effect......" Lucy followed.
"Everyone, don't underestimate the power of the dragon, I have experienced it, I can defend against the full force of the dragon, this is a life-saving magic array......" At this time, Lucy, who didn't speak much, spoke, "Three hundred magic arrays, I think it's too little......"
Everyone turned their heads to look at the future, and Lucy found that the future Lucy looked very anxious at this time.
