Chapter 120: Back to the Abyss of Lightlessness
Because of the unique terrain of the Magellan Kingdom, after passing through the Indomitable City, the dragon army still needs to fly in the Magellan Kingdom for a while.
The Indomitable City, the center of the only Kingdom of Magellan, this is because the Kingdom of Magellan is surrounded by the Dammoth Empire, so the Kingdom of Magellan needs a slightly safer city to become a power authority. And this city is naturally the indomitable city of Saint Sophie. As mentioned before, in the past, the Danmos Empire was not a country that waged its tail and begged for mercy from the apostles in order to survive, but a great empire that stood proudly in the human world. After thousands of years of war, the Danmos Empire has grown from an obscure small country to a large empire that occupies the southeast of the continent. Turning all other countries, large and small, into their own territory.
Eventually, the entire southeastern part of the continent, with the exception of the Kingdom of Magellan, was annexed by the Danmoth Empire. And even the Kingdom of Magellan has experienced several times when its territory has been encroached upon by the Danmos Empire, and only the indomitable city of St. Sophie is still holding on.
However, the strange thing is that no matter how much the Danmoth Empire invades the Kingdom of Magellan, it has never been able to truly bring the Kingdom of Magellan to its knees. Almost every time he finally reached the capital of his kingdom, Saint Sophie, he was defeated by the soldiers and civilians of the Kingdom of Magellan, who guarded Saint Sophie. Later, the Kingdom of Magellan took advantage of the situation to recover all the lands that had been usurped by the Danmoth Empire.
However, although the Kingdom of Magellan was more like the victor in the war with the Danmoth Empire, the economy of the Kingdom of Magellan could not develop at all due to the perennial war. Even if it develops, it will be plundered by the Danmoth Empire. Therefore, the Kingdom of Magellan can almost be said to be the most backward country in the entire human world.
I don't know which king ruled, but after another war with the Danmos Empire, that king finally realized that there was no way out for the kingdom of Magellan. The only chance for the Kingdom of Magellan to survive is to reach a peace agreement with the Danmoth Empire.
However, even though it is a peace agreement, it is also difficult to achieve. The Danmos Empire has always regarded the Kingdom of Magellan as food at its fingertips, so how can it be said that peace is peace? When wars break out between these two countries in the human world, the Kingdom of Magellan often fights back with all the strength of the whole country, but what about the Danmos Empire? He only mobilizes one or two corps, and it is enough. It will not affect the development of the empire at all.
The road to peace is long, and if you wag your tail and beg for mercy, then you will only end up being annexed by the Empire. Therefore, peace must be built on war.
From the idea of peace of this king to the real peace of the mouth, it took a full eighty or ninety years, several generations. In the intervening decades, more than 20 wars broke out between the Kingdom of Magellan and the Dnomah Empire. Fortunately, after this last war, peace finally came.
Although, this is not a fair peace agreement. Because the Danmos Empire wants a lot, and the Magellan Kingdom is to maintain its independence and sovereignty as much as possible. And it is precisely because of these problems that there has been no peace agreement for decades.
But in the end, the two sides came to an agreement. The Danmos Empire became the suzerainty of the Kingdom of Magellan, seizing a large area of land in the western part of the Kingdom of Magellan, that is, the eastern part of the Dammers Empire, and every year the Kingdom of Magellan paid a certain amount of tribute to the Danmoth Empire. However, these offerings are relatively rare, and in the words of the emperor of the Danmos Empire, who signed this peace agreement: "Our empire does not need the little money of the Kingdom of Magellan." We just want people in that country to know that we will always be their overlord. Since it is a country that we protect, it is appropriate to offer us something to worship. ”
Although this is a great shame for the Kingdom of Magellan, a shame for the loss of power and humiliation of the country. But apart from that, the kingdom of Magellan had no more to lose. At least such a shame is nothing compared to the losses suffered during the war.
Because of the peace agreement, the kingdom of Magellan finally ushered in a centuries-long peace, which is a very rare thing in a weak kingdom surrounded by a powerful empire. During these centuries, the Kingdom of Magellan finally began to develop its economy. Although the Kingdom of Magellan is still decades behind the Danmos Empire, this is already a very good thing for the Kingdom of Magellan. Until, the apostles invaded.
Perhaps neither the Danmos Empire nor the Kingdom of Magellan thought that two countries that had been fighting each other for nearly a thousand years would not perish at the hands of each other, but were destroyed by a foreign race from another world. The difference is that the kingdom of Magellan held out until the end, and a large number of refugees migrated with Sters to the northwest of the continent, that is, within the territory of the Lohan Empire. But they didn't know that, Viren. So to some extent, the kingdom of Magellan was not destroyed, as long as these refugees could return to their land, then they could re-establish their own country.
But the Danmos Empire was not so lucky. The Danmos Empire, which is one of the largest empires in the human world, did not expect that the destruction would start from within. The Duke of Disgust succeeded in taking the Danmoth Empire into his own hands, and then surrendered the empire that gave birth to him to the Apostles for his own selfish interests. He thought he would be able to acquire a large piece of land and establish himself as king in that land. But the result is very realistic, the apostles have never looked at the Duke of Disgust squarely, but only regarded him as a tool that can be used, but when all the use value is squeezed out, the Duke of Disgust is a dispensable bug.
And these, although they all happened not long ago, but when Viren stepped into this land again, it made Viren endlessly emotional.
It was not that the Apostles did not fail to discover these dragons, on the contrary, they not only found them, but also sent many Wyverns, the only air force they had been able to handle so far, to intercept them. However, as soon as these dragons get close to the dragons, they will flee in all directions like mice seeing cats, and they have no combat ability at all, but are wiped out by those dragons like little bugs. Moreover, the dragons also destroyed several lairs of wyverns and some of the apostles' logistics supply bases.
So much so that when they arrived at the indomitable city of Dammoth, the apostolic army guarding here did not dare to come forward, but only prayed that the dragons would spare them and pass through this damn place quickly to reach their destination. Those dragons didn't mind leveling the Indomitable City of Saint Sophie and the surrounding four bases by the way, but they were persuaded by Viren.
A few hundred kilometers further north from the indomitable city of Hagia Sophie, you can see the most outstanding and terrifying landform on this continent - the Abyss of Lightlessness. Since the beginning of recorded history, there has been no shortage of legends of all kinds in the Abyss of Lightlessness. And the humans or other races that commit suicide from here have not been interrupted almost every year. And as the Apostles turned it into a connection between the apostolic world and the human world, it became even more inaccessible.
"Are you sure you want to base here?"
"Not here, magician, not here. Nomaris's deep voice came from beneath Viren, "Our goal is the north of this abyss. Here, not our dish. ”
"But to the north, how far north, and further north, are the orc clans and tribes. ”
"Hehe, mage, I know you have an orc friend. Moreover, it seems to be still a hero. Rest assured, we won't be bothering your orc friends' clans. Our goal is the most chaotic place of that generation. ”
Viren immediately understood. In the northern part of the Lightless Abyss, in addition to some elven tribes, there are also some small human nations. It's just that after the catastrophe, it should be said that when the apostles took this continent as their target, some of the apostles had already destroyed these countries first. What remained there at this time was already a borderless land full of chaos.
Viren was eager to find out what the dragons were in their heads, but he wasn't familiar with the terrain at all, so he couldn't figure out what the dragons were thinking. Dragon Island... There should be no more terrain like Dragon Island in this world, so what are these dragons going to do here?
Viren even began to suspect that perhaps the dragons had no intention of setting up their base in the Vault Dweller Hill in the first place, and that the north of the Lightless Abyss was their real goal.
"Your Excellency, can you tell me why you chose this base for the forward base?"
"Forward base? Wrong, it's a supply base. Although Nomaris was a little angry, Viren felt that he was not really unhappy: "Magician, what base, you must remember it well, and don't say anything wrong." ”
Seeing that Viren nodded hurriedly, Nomaris was no longer angry, but quietly explained: "Magician, in fact, I don't know why those old men chose the base there. Especially that Tagore, you don't have to look at him as if he were like us, but he is probably the most hidden of all the Speakers. Hey, I think we're going to follow him in the future, and I want to go back to your world again. ”
Isn't it the same Tagore who spoke for them before the apostle, but was unanimously opposed by the other dragon speakers? Viren had observed Tagore before, but felt that he was nothing more than that, and that he was nothing powerful, but instead an ostracized dragon. Why would Nomaris find him unusual?
"Unusual?" Nomaris sneered as if he could hear what was going on in Viren's mind, "Human, do you know how old he is? However, he became the youngest speaker in the entire Dragon Island. This is not because his parents died young, but because he did have the ability. Oh, the election of our speaker, I think you know. ”
The kind of parliament that is already degenerate, how can Viren not know. However, since Nomaris said so, Viren still paid more attention to Tagore. "So, what exactly is your purpose?"
"Purpose?mage, are you absolutely going to reveal to you something I don't even know? Are you kidding?"
Viren smiled a little awkwardly, yes, since it was something that Nomaris didn't know, then he really didn't have anything to tell him.
"Alright, we're about to see the border of your former homeland now. Do you see that dark place, do you have a good impression?"
Looking in the direction Nomaris was pointing, Viren saw a dark, bottomless canyon. Even at ground level, Viren couldn't see a single bit of light. Probably, that's why it's named after the Lightless Abyss. "Impressions, of course I have. Viren smiled evilly and looked at the Duke of Disgust on the side: "If it weren't for some old man's insistence on refusing to send troops to rescue, we wouldn't have had to use the spatial teleportation magic array to teleport the last refugees to the territory of some empire." And I'm not going to get caught, you say. ”
The Duke of Disgust smiled at Viren with some embarrassment and explained, "At that time, we belonged to different camps. It's understandable, it's understandable, isn't it? We were each in our own interests at the time, so ... Well, I apologize, Viren. But if I had to do it all over again, I would probably do it anyway. Because at that time, I had only one way to go. ”
Viren looked meaningfully at the Duke of Disgust, and the Duke of Disgust returned the same look to him. In the end, it was Viren who compromised. But in fact, by now, Viren has no hatred for the Duke of Disgust, even if it is an enemy and an opponent, they are now enemies and opponents who respect each other. "Okay, okay, I'll admit you're right. Maybe I was in your position at the time, and I would have done the same. Alright, Lord Duke, we should think about what to do next, and of course, at least we need to settle the affairs of the Dragons. ”
The road ahead is actually not long or short. But no matter what, you have to go on, you can.
