There were only a few of them when they came, but when they returned, there were many more people than when they came, whether it was the merfolk who were brought out of the lava sea by Elandia, or a few of them Nesario, although they didn't have time to discuss the result, and even because of the time constraints, they didn't know each other, but no one had any objections to it, because they all knew the mission of their trip.

Stop Artos, but more importantly, stop the orcs who don't know why, and risk their destruction to respond to this war, yes, not suppression, it's to stop, they all need to know what happened to the orcs.

Although Lu Shaoyu did not see the clear appearance of the beast clan from the swaying water mirror through the endless rain and fog, it was enough for him to see the whole picture of this beast army.

In addition to the adult male beasts in the prime of life, there are also female beasts who are relatively much weaker, and even old men with emaciated bodies, and half-grown boys who can't be called men and can only barely pass the level of children.

This is not the normal population configuration that should be in a war, although Lu Shaoyu has never experienced a real war, and he also knows that no matter what, there should be at least no women, old people and children in an army.

Although this may sound a bit sexist or ageist, it has always been the case that women do not go to war, not necessarily because they are worse than men, but because they are responsible for raising offspring, and the elderly and children in the family need them more than they go into battle to kill the enemy.

Not to mention the old people and children in this, no one will let their wives and children and parents go into battle to kill the enemy, even a desperate beast knows that before fighting the enemy to the death, give his cub to the female beast and let it hold it far away, not to mention the beast clan with emotion and wisdom that is no different from humans, no man will do this.

At first, he thought that the reason why the orcs would agree to Artos's conditions was because there were some careerists in the orcs who were as greedy as Artos, and in order to satisfy their own ambitions, even the lives of their own people could be sacrificed.

But now Lu Shaoyu felt that his idea was very wrong, even if such a careerist really existed in the beast clan, even if the loyalty to the great wizard in his bones made these beast clans have to obey his words, they would never allow their wives and children and parents to be dragged into the war.

This is the nature of all intelligent beings engraved in their bones, and has nothing to do with anything else.

Therefore, something big must have happened to the orcs, and this matter must be extremely serious, even more serious than their wives and children dying on the battlefield.

The only thing Lu Shaoyu could think of was this long rainy season that was enough to flood most of the beast habitats, and the rainy season left them with no place to live, so they dragged their families to Sky City to plunder the territory of the Blue Dragon Clan, but Lu Shaoyu quickly realized that this was not right, not to mention that among the three major races, the obvious disadvantage of the beast race was not a day or two, or even tens of thousands of years, if such a rainy season made them unbearable, the war would have broken out long ago, and it would not have been until now, just say that they are about to fight against the dragon clan, even if the beast clan has a large population, they are not ten out of ten in this battle, how can they drag their families together, not even a little retreat for yourself.

I can't explain it anyway.

In the process of crossing the enchantment again, Lu Shaoyu never said a word, no matter how he couldn't think of such a reason for the orcs to be equivalent to a fish dying and breaking the net.

The black dragon looked back at him several times, but he didn't notice it at all, which made the black dragon a little worried.

It wasn't until they crossed the barrier again and emerged from the small pond that Lu Shaoyu just felt that his eyes were in contact with the light, and with a "pop", the blisters covering his body burst in response, and Lu Shaoyu had not yet felt the cold rain that had been rolled by the black dragon with its tail and pulled out of the water with a bang.

Huge wings hung over his head, keeping the rain tightly out.

Lu Shaoyu bent the corners of his mouth, temporarily put down what he was thinking in his head, and expressed his sincere appreciation for Nesario's actions.

Immediately after that, more than twenty male mermaids who looked similar to Ellandia emerged from the water, most of them had the same long silver hair as Ellandia, and the light gray pupils were so light that they could barely see clearly, these are the people who are the best at controlling water, that is, the people who are rumored to be water magic, they may not be as aggressive as the dragons, not as strong as the orcs, but in such a well-watered climate, they are absolutely invincible.

If the Orcs are soldiers who are good at melee combat, then the Dragons are archers who can also fight in close combat and attack from a distance, and the Merfolk are the safest mages with no lower output at all.

It's no wonder that the merfolk clan has the smallest population, but they can stand tall in the competition in the Dolan Continent, if it weren't for the fact that they really have no interest in the rest of this continent, Lu Shaoyu believes that although they have few people, they must be much more difficult to deal with than those beast clans.

The merfolk all looked at their commander Elantia, who remained motionless at the black dragon.

He promised Meritia that he would help Nesario to calm the chaos of the war and the situation, and he would do it, and at the same time, he was willing to hand over control to the Black Dragon without reservation.

The black dragon also looked back at Elantia, and after a moment, he made a decision.

"Elantia, I'm going to split your team into two teams, one pair will go to Sky City with me, and the other pair will go to the imperial capital with Clariant and Ildan to support, are you willing?"

Elantia opened her mouth, and before she could speak, she heard an exclamation from Ildan, "Nesario!"

Compared to the Imperial Capital, where there was no movement, the destination of the orc army advancing at full speed would obviously be more chaotic, and at this time, Nesario actually let her and Clariant return to the Imperial Capital, how could they do it.

"Denzrien's will is to march to the rest of the dragon territory, and finally enter the lava sea, although we have passed through the lava sea by chance, but Denzrien's will has not been achieved, we will not go. ”

Ildan flicked his tail very anxiously, and his red pupils looked more like a burning flame at this time, and the fire was raging.

"Denzery's will is the lava sea, and we will go to other territories to stop by, so you have completed the mission, remember what Meritia wanted to bring to Denzel Ryan, now you should go back and return to your life. ”

The black dragon snorted and turned his head to look at Ildan, his amber pupils unwavering, as if he had said this passage in his heart countless times.

How could Ildan not know that Nesario and their line were taking risks in the past, Nesario was the heir to the throne of Danzerion, and he couldn't have an accident anywhere, so after seeing that he couldn't convince Nesario alone, Ildan turned his eyes to Nesriel for help.

She knew that although Nesriel and Nesario were always not so opposed, in fact, the two siblings born from the same mother had a very good relationship, and Nesriel had the gentle doting of this brother that all brothers have, but never leaked it, but showed it to Nessario in a less obvious but more natural way of getting along.

She felt that Nesriel would be on her side.

"Ildan, Nesario is right, you should go back to the Imperial Capital to get back to Danzerion, and your grandfather Scarlet, who is still waiting for you to return. ”

"Nesriel!"

Ildan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Clariant, along with Ildan, must ensure the safety of the merfolk people. ”

The black dragon was clearly determined, and after saying this, he turned his head away from Ildan and Clariant, but at Elantia again.

"Have you figured it out? Who's going with us to Sky City?"

Ellandia's gaze wandered around the crowd, and finally rested on a tall man, "Ellandri, you lead them to the imperial capital." ”

And the man who went with them to Sky City didn't speak for themselves, because he finally pointed at himself under the black dragon's gaze.

There are still many people he wants to protect, especially the person who has been repeatedly said by Meritia to be vital to the future of the mainland, Elantia's gaze swept over Lu Shaoyu's face, and finally said nothing.

Ildan was obviously reluctant to listen to Nesario's departure from them, but Clariant was very determined to carry out Nesario's words this time, because he knew that Nesario had really made up his mind, and he believed that every decision Nesario made must have his own reasons.

Although the dragon form of Ildan and Clariant is not as good as that of the black dragon, it is still very large compared to the merfolk who are much smaller in human form, and it is not a problem to sit on them for several merfolk people.

The group grew and shrunk suddenly, and Clariant did not object to Nesario's decision at the time of parting, except that a second before takeoff, he bowed his high neck, bent his sharp claws, and made an unprecedented salute to Nesario, who was both his friend and his future king.

"Be sure to protect yourself. ”

After Clariant finished saying this in a deep voice, he looked at Lu Shaoyu again and repeated, "Please protect yourself too." ”

Lu Shaoyu stood beside the black dragon, standing tall and high-spirited, he nodded, the corners of his mouth hooked a little heartfelt smile, and responded, "You too." ”

Clariant spread her wings and flew away with a portion of the merfolk, while Ildan looked back several times until the black dragon turned into a blurry black dot in her eyes, and she completely turned around and flew off into the distance.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go. ”

Nesriel watched in silence as the other group flew away, and then broke the silence and took the lead.

Elantia answered, and with the other two remaining merfolk, she rolled over and climbed onto Nesriel's broad back.

Lu Shaoyu exhaled a long breath of turbid air in his lungs, pretended to be relaxed and turned his head towards the black dragon and said, "Let's go, Brother Long." ”

The black dragon took a step forward, but stopped again, and suddenly said, "I must keep you by my side. ”

"Huh?" Lu Shaoyu tilted his head in disunderstanding.

"Even if it's more dangerous around me. ”

Lu Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, his smiling eyes narrowed, and the smile went straight to the bottom of his heart through his eyes, making his heart warm, "Well, that's right, if you let me stay away from you at this time, I will definitely be even more angry." ”

He's a man who doesn't need to hide behind anyone and wants to protect the people he loves.

Only by becoming stronger can you protect this man and ...... who are already strong enough Even he didn't know when it would come. 166 Reading Network
