It was hard to imagine that such a huge body could have such a terrifying running speed, and the dragon's physical strength seemed to be forever abundant, even if it did not stop running, it still did not show the slightest fatigue.

"Have you been running for a day and a night?" Haruka woke up from a nap, and there was a bed for resting in the spacious dragon car, and he hadn't slept in such a comfortable bed for a long time.

"Yes, Haruka-sama, we will be able to reach the border in the afternoon. The non-commissioned officer in charge of the dragon chariot Kingdom replied.

"Well, the scenery outside the window hasn't changed. Haruka swept the window with her peripheral vision, and in addition to the barren earth, there were patches of dead wood and rocks.

"No way, this was originally the southern territory of the Republic of Karnas, and due to the control of the demons, the entire land has become so desolate. ”

"The Republic of Karnas... Isn't that where the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is located?"

"That's right, in order to defend Argos, the capital of the republic, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has spent a lot of money to strengthen the national army, and has also hired many adventurers to fight against the demons. ”

"This time we were able to march all the way to recapture the Valency Fortress, and the Chamber of Commerce also contributed to the logistical assistance. ”

"yes, those guys aren't going to sit still. Haruka muttered to himself, "By the way, since the demons have been expelled from this land, why is it still so barren, can't it be restored to its original state?"

"I'm afraid this is very difficult, you should know something, once the place is captured by the demons, the earth will begin to be barren, and at the same time, the dark clouds that cover the sky and the sun will completely cover this area, it seems that in order to cultivate more demonic beasts, the demons will transform the earth, and the elements of the growth of all things will be transformed into a highly poisonous miasma, humans will not be able to survive, and demonic beasts will be like fish in water. ”

"Has the earth been transformed?"

"The final result is this large wasteland, although the miasma will soon dissipate after the demons leave, but the land that has been robbed of life cannot be restored. ”

"In other words, even if the land is recaptured, it is no longer suitable for human existence? Looking at the boundless wasteland, Haruka sighed helplessly.

"The kingdom is also studying how to restore the earth to its original state of magic, but humans are relatively lacking in natural spells, and if they can turn to the elves, they may have some gains. ”

"Elves... I do know one. ”

"That's really a very strange thing, after all, there is no elven country on this continent, and they rarely come to this continent if they think very highly of themselves, except for some exiled elves, they can rarely be seen on the continent. ”

"yes? Hywig can't be exiled too?" he thought for a moment, "So, is there anything else on the other side of the sea besides this continent?"

"Of course, there are only a few records of some ancient documents, and since the last time the God of Destruction came to the world, the humans of the continent have rarely explored outside. ”

"Why? Did something happen?"

"I don't know the specific situation very well, the predecessors have left very little information for the descendants, except for the legend of the brave Li En, there is almost nothing. ”

"I'm always suspicious. ”

"Haruka-sama, if you follow the princess, one day you will come into contact with the truth behind this world. ”

"I hope so. ”

While they were talking, the Wyvern troops in the air suddenly descended, and the chief knight fell directly in front of the king's dragon chariot, and the entire marching procession stopped.

"What's going on?" asked Grand Duke Sainz as he turned to the Knight Chief.

"Back to the Grand Duke, there is a wagon caravan three kilometers ahead, approaching us. ”

"Carriage caravan, is it a fellow from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance?"

"Judging by the sign on the carriage, it seems to be them, yes. ”

"The Chamber of Commerce, it's close to Argos, I'm afraid they're waiting for us here. Sainz turned and stepped into the dragon cart and explained the situation to the kingdom.

"It's okay, let them come. King Salz signaled to the army to lift the alert, as an important supporter behind the kingdom's army, the relationship between the kingdom and the chamber of commerce is now in the honeymoon period, so naturally there is no reason to refuse each other's meeting.

In a few moments, the carriage of the Chamber of Commerce joined the King's army. This time he came to meet the king was none other than the youngest elder of the Chamber of Commerce, Aria, whether it was hiring adventurers and strengthening the national army, or even providing backup material support for the Artinian expedition, he was almost all led by himself, making people suspect that he had become the actual controller of the Chamber of Commerce.

With such an important role, he was naturally qualified to meet the king directly.

In the king's dragon chariot, King Salz sat on the throne, and Aria respectfully knelt on the ground and saluted the king.

"Get up, you don't have to do the extra etiquette. Salz said to him. "Tell me why you're here to see me. ”

"Your Majesty, the news of your triumph at the Valenci Fortress has spread all over the continent, and everyone is applauding for your wisdom, I heard that the King's army intends to return to China for the time being, and since I have passed through the place of the Chamber of Commerce, I naturally hope to fulfill the friendship of the landlords, and invite the King and the brave soldiers to go to Argos for a short rest, we have prepared delicious food and wine, and hope to wash the dust for you. ”

"I appreciate your kindness, but under the current situation, returning to China as soon as possible to reorganize the army is the top priority, so I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy the banquet prepared by the Chamber of Commerce for us. ”

"Your Majesty, please think again, after all, everyone wants to see the heroic appearance of the chosen brave Princess Iska, which is also a comfort to the people of the Republic of Karnas. If even such a humble request cannot be met, I am afraid that some assistance from the Chamber of Commerce will also be affected in the future. ”

"Are you trying to blackmail us?" said Sainz on the side.

"Why, I'm just elaborating on what could happen. Aria said with a smile, but she couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"I know, we'll stay in Argos for one night and then leave early the next morning. Salz said slowly.

"Thank you, King, for your understanding, and I will do my best to arrange the most solemn banquet for you. Aria bowed deeply to the king as she spoke......
