Chapter 091: Acting Lord, Unparalleled Prestige
"What's the situation now?" asked the anxious Wen Dao again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"See for yourself what is going on. ”
Saying this, Matyuya immediately picked up the rattle on the desk and shook it gently. The silver rattle rattle rattled crisply, and two seconds later there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the hallway. When Wen Dao moved his gaze to the door, the two figures pushed the door in almost at the same time.
"Your Excellency, did you summon me?"
"What can I do for you?"
The two figures who pushed the door forward were very different. On the left is a wolf cavalry dressed in blue power armor and armed with an explosive spear, and on the right is a Liansta knight in gray and black iron armor and armed with a cross sword. The two sides had a great difference in equipment and expressions, and while waiting for Wen Dao's instructions, they glared at each other fiercely.
"What is the situation ...... this"?
Wen Dao stared blankly in front of him. On one side is the son of the emperor who is fighting for the stars on a warship, and on the other side is the indigenous knight who has just stepped into the Middle Ages, and the situation when the two sides will get together is Guan Gong and Qin Qiong, Wen Dao turned his incomprehensible gaze to Ma Qiuya next to him.
"We're in Redstone Fortress now. Matyuya raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing the mystery. "As you can see, the wolf cavalry is currently stationed here for the time being. ”
"The wolf cavalry is also stationed here, and what about Frostwolf Castle?"
"Frostwolf Castle has been destroyed to the point that there is no scum left, and besides, this is also the direction of your chief deacon. ”
Wen Dao's face was full of consternation, and at this time, the female general finally didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and said the truth that Wen Dao was most eager to know - it turned out that the war had ended three days ago, and in the fierce battle between the Thunder Clan and the Shura Clan, it was the dragon spear that Wen Dao threw to give the latter the decisive blow. With a terrible howl, Luo Hou, who was directly hit by the dragon spear, was directly blown out of the atmosphere by that vast energy, and never came back.
The thunder roar that repelled Luo Hou seemed to be not light, and the remaining wolf cavalry on the scene were given the order to clean up the aftermath and return to the command of the Dragon Palace - compared to the newcomer Dragon Envoy who lacked qualifications and courage, several wolf rider elders still remembered the prestige of the Dragon Palace Deacon, coupled with the current situation of the destruction of the Frostwolf Castle, the wolf cavalry accepted the order to return to the Dragon Palace as if grasping a life-saving straw.
Thunder Roar seemed to have other important matters to deal with, and after collecting the wolf cavalry, he hurriedly returned to the astral boundary, and the specific command was completely handed over to Wen Dao, who was the acting lord. At that time, Wen Dao was in a coma due to detachment, and had no choice but to send Hector and Matyua to negotiate with the Wolf Rider Elder and others on his behalf. The wolf cavalry had been under the command of Hector in the Imperial Conquest Fleet, and at the critical moment, the prestige of the Imperial military division played a unified effect, and when the Frostwolf Castle was completely destroyed and half of the Snow Peak collapsed, the wolf cavalry had to accept Hector's proposal to abandon his stronghold and temporarily move to the Redstone Fortress to settle down.
It was Matyua who persuaded the Border Knights to accept the wolf cavalry. Matyua reported to General Hannibal that the wolf cavalry lair had been destroyed by the Astral Overlords, and that it was the Shura Bear Kids who had previously bombarded the Redstone Fortress indiscriminately.
The Redstone Fortress was also shocked by the super-sized battle that broke out in Snow Peak, and the old general couldn't help but be shocked after hearing the tragic battle in Frostwolf Castle. Out of sympathy, Hannibal finally agreed to temporarily accept the wolf cavalry to rest in the fortress. It's just that the Border Knights and the Wolf Cavalry of Liensta have been at odds with each other for decades, and it is of course impossible to get along with each other all of a sudden without any worries.
On the other hand, although the wolf cavalry and the Border Knights do not like each other, they have a reason to show their loyalty to the acting lord when they return to the command of the dragon palace. After a difficult negotiation between Hector and Matyua, the two sides finally reached a compromise, and the wolf cavalry and the Border Knights sent their own men to serve as the dragon envoy's escort.
As for the result, it is what Wen Tao saw before, the two sides of the guards did not give in to each other and competed with each other.
“…… In other words, there are two conflicting legions stationed in the Redstone Fortress right now?"
Having just woken up from a deep slumber, his brain was basically in a state of half-paste, and it took Wen Dao several seconds to understand Ma Qiuya's words, and he suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight.
"There is the authority of the Dragon Palace suppressing it, and it will be fine for the time being. Looking at the headache of Wen Dao rubbing his temples, Matyuya made a rare and thoughtful suggestion. "But you look very bad, how about you rest first and then deal with it?"
“…… No, leaving it alone will only make the situation worse. ”
Wen Tao struggled out of bed, shaking his head as he tried to pull his thoughts back from the sea of chaos.
Thunder Roar's repulsion of Luo Hou was certainly a grateful helper, but listening to Matyuya's words, it seemed that the aftermath of the Frostwolf Castle incident had not been carried out at all. The wolf cavalry just rushed here to rest, including the square crystal that was taken away by Luo Hou and the imperial black hand that was about to move, there were many troublesome situations that needed to be dealt with immediately.
(The bastard roars and throws a mess at me...... )
Wen Dao cursed the undisciplined chief deacon fiercely in his heart. If he could, he really wanted to pack up these troubles and send them to the deacon office of the Dragon Palace, but at this moment, in the redstone fortress, no one except for him, as the Acting Lord of Grumbel, could take on the responsibility of unifying and disposing of it.
"Gather the wolf cavalry and General Hannibal for me, and assemble in the conference room in a quarter of an hour. "Wen Dao gave orders to the wolf cavalry and the Liansta knights respectively. "There are a number of things that I need to confirm with them and discuss the way forward. ”
"Yes!"
The wolf cavalry and the Liensta knights each gave a different style of military salute and then hurried away. Wen Tao watched the guards leave, took a breath and came back to his senses, and then noticed the wonderful eyes cast by the female general next to him.
"What's the matter?"
Wen Dao conveyed the confusion in his heart to Matyuya through his eyes.
"I just think you're getting more and more like a surrogate lord. ”
The female general shrugged her shoulders and threw out words that I don't know whether to praise or disparage.
For the Redstone Fortress, which had been in a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere for days, as if it might go off at any moment, the news of the Dragon's Envoy's awakening lifted everyone's spirits like light piercing the clouds. Under the convening order of the Acting Lord, the wolf cavalry and the bigwigs of the Border Knights gathered in the conference room to discuss the future policy.
The ceiling of the conference room still had the holes from the previous Luo Hou raid, and the people gathered at the table were clearly divided into three groups. The wolf cavalry was represented by the Bloodclaw Elder Moka, and Odin and Roy, who had known the Dragone, stood majestically behind Moka. The Frontier Knights were represented by the veteran general Hannibal, and several other elite knights followed, staring at the wolf cavalry across the conference table.
The atmosphere of confrontation between the two groups was almost tense, but they tried their best to restrain their fighting spirit, and cast a cautious glance at the young man in the middle of the conference table who rubbed his temples as if he was in a bad mood.
Wen Dao in the center of the conference table was not alone, Hector and Matyua stood on his left and right. Among them, the former was a super military division who had commanded the empire to conquer the sea of stars, while the latter had the top-level martial might to crush the wolf cavalry - the two of them who would have been the focus of attention on any occasion were standing beside the acting lord in a respectful manner at this moment, and the silent posture alone was enough to make the hearts of the two groups tremble.
"First, let's sort things out. ”
Wen Dao's speech broke the silence of the conference room, looked at the Bloodclaw Elder on the left, and asked straight to the point.
"From now on, the wolf cavalry will be under the command of the lord, right?"
"Yes. Moka quickly stood up and saluted the right hand of the current lord in front of him and touched his chest.
If the wolf cavalry still had any contempt for this rookie dragon envoy before, then after the battle of Frostwolf Castle, this subtle mentality has long been wiped out. After all, if it weren't for Wen Dao's timely help, the wolf cavalry would have suffered heavy losses as early as the strong attack of Gapur. Wen Dao led the wolf cavalry to reverse the situation beautifully, and then against the ghostly astral overlord, he also drove it back with a single blow of the dragon spear that shocked the sky. It can be said that both strength and actual performance are enough to make the wolf cavalry surrender happily.
"The Fenris wolves will swear allegiance to you, Warlord. ”
"Good. Wen Dao nodded, although he was a little concerned about the strange name that Elder Blood Claw called him, there were more things that needed to be confirmed in front of him. "I've heard from Hector about the glorious battle history of the Fenris Wolf Rider, but I don't know how you went from being the Emperor's son of St. Vano to being a retainer of the Emerald Dragonlord. Ryugu didn't have much information left in this regard, so if it's convenient, can you tell me about the cause of it?"
"yes, what the hell is going on?"
Wendao's question not only made Hector jump, but even the Liansta generals over there pricked up their ears.
The questioning Bloodclaw Elder had a slightly bitter expression. Obviously, this history is not a glorious memory for the Fenris Wolf Rider, but since the Wolf Cavalry and the Lensta are under the command of the Acting Lord, it will be easier to bridge the gap between them by explaining the details. Moka probably understood Wendao's intentions, and took a deep breath before speaking in a heavy tone.
"It was supposed to be the darkest time of Fenris's wolf ride......"
Centuries ago, the San Vano Empire defeated the Harpy Federation to incorporate the Emerald Star Field, and formed an unprecedented conquest fleet with the intention of annexing the Harpy Federation and the surrounding star fields in one fell swoop. Fenris joined the conquest fleet as the most powerful son of the Emperor, eager to establish new glory on the battlefield.
However, due to the forcible occupation of the Emerald Star Domain by the "Emperor Shun of the Northern Heavens", the ambitious conquest fleet was reduced to a lone army cut off on the way home, and slowly stepped on the road of defeat and rout under the joint resistance of the states of the Star Domain. In the midst of the embattled and almost desperate battle, only the Fenris Wolves tried their best to guard the Imperial flag, guarding the Crown Prince, who was then the commander of the fleet, and attempted to return to the Empire mainland through a roundabout detour.
With overwhelming force and sacrifices, the wolf cavalry miraculously carved a gap in the encirclement network of the Harpy Federation, almost literally bringing the Imperial flag out of the predicament. However, not all Imperial powers were happy to see the return of the Crown Prince, and just before the Imperial Flagship broke out of the encirclement, another force lurking in the Flagship suddenly launched a rebellion - a rebellion that was quickly suppressed by the Wolf Cavalry, but the Crown Prince was killed.
The morale of the Imperial fleet, which had lost the crown prince, was completely shattered, and the Fenris Wolf Rider could no longer cope with the endless attacks, and returned to the empire with less than a tenth of the remaining troops. The wolf cavalry, who returned to the empire, had no time to report the battle to the emperor, and were stigmatized as "rebels" - rumors came out of nowhere, slandering the wolf cavalry as the main culprit in the murder of the crown prince and the collapse of the fleet.
I don't know if the emperor listened to such slander, or if the failed empire needed someone to bear the blame, and the son of the former emperor was nailed to the cross of shame. Fenris's wolf rider was revoked, and the remnants faced the fate of being shot en masse.
Thanks to the covert assistance of their allies, the grieving wolf cavalry was able to escape before the execution, but the rebels were stigmatized and attacked by Imperial forces as they fled. The besieged wolf cavalry suffered even heavier casualties at the hands of their own people, and in desperation, they rushed into the Emerald Dragon Territory with a state of mind that was almost ruined.
The imperial forces pursuing the wolf cavalry stopped in front of the Jade Dragon Leader, while Emperor Shun of the Northern Heavens, who ruled the Dragon Territory, received the remnants of the wolf cavalry with heavy casualties with some curiosity. The badly wounded head wolf took his last breath and begged the dragon king for shelter, and the dragon king readily agreed to include the Fenris wolf rider under his banner. The Dragonlord ordered the wolf cavalry to temporarily reside on the surface of Grumbel to recuperate, while also giving them a mission.
"The mission assigned by the Dragon King?" Wen Dao listened with a twist.
"Yes. Moka nodded solemnly. "It's to guard the 'Shadow Erosion Furnace'. ”
