"The war began. ”

Marquis of Pea Island, Di Maria Yuhuashi, stood on the balcony of his office on the top floor of the Flame King City Administration Building, looking at the bustling crowds on both sides of Gilded Avenue.

Sigh softly.

"Uncle, the knights of the family have been assembled and are on standby, ready to follow the knights of the kingdom at any time. His nephew, Deborah Yuhuashi, stood behind him and said, "Your Majesty the King has really thought deeply about the opening of the dragon slaying battle this time, and the knights are assisting?"

For Liszt, all the ordinary knights of the Flame Kingdom have reached the level of blind worship, basically they do whatever Liszt says.

But as a great nobleman, there will always be all kinds of different thoughts between the family and the kingdom.

Di Maria smiled, turned to look at his nephew, who was no longer young, and said: "Your Majesty is a very contradictory king, he hardly sees any greed for power, nor does he have any manipulation of power, and even seems unfamiliar with some political means. ”

Deborah listened quietly, his uncle was the embodiment of wisdom in his mind.

Di Maria groaned, "Your Majesty is more like a knight than a king, and he is more accustomed to speaking with strength...... This is probably the difference between the thinking of the dragon knight and us ordinary knights, in short, in terms of strength measurement, His Majesty is the most authoritative existence in the Flame Kingdom, and even the most authoritative existence in the entire Legendary Continent. ”

"Indeed, Your Majesty's strength has been unfathomable for a long time, and the dragon knights of the Triple Alliance must travel together before they dare to go out on patrol. ”

"So when Your Majesty decides to take the initiative and start a battle to slay the dragon, all we need to do is follow behind Your Majesty. ”

"Yes...... Uncle, this time Your Majesty is facing a horde of dragon knights, how powerful the dragon knights of the Three Kingdoms Alliance will be, I dare not imagine. ”

Di Maria smiled mildly: "Do you know how His Majesty described his strength and the strength of the Triple Alliance when he convened the Outer Cabinet Meeting?"

"How do you describe it?"

"Your Majesty said that he is a rock, and the single dragon knight of the Triple Alliance is a grain of sand, and no matter how much sand accumulates, it is also a plate of loose sand, and only the rock is indestructible. When Di Maria repeated this sentence, the tone of Liszt's voice instantly came to mind.

It was a kind of transcendent calm, as if all living beings were ants, not to be feared and taken for granted.

Deborah was stunned for a moment, then repeated, "Rocks and loose sand." ”

......

"Your Excellency Laird, the defensive magic array of Mind Island will be handed over to you to preside. ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Your Excellency Akerroides' improved defensive magic array is very stable against the attack of the dragon knights, and I will defend the magic gate of the Mind Island for the kingdom. ”

In the Citadel of the Mind, Liszt talks to the sorcerer Laird Truth.

The former magicians of the Kushan Empire have been completely integrated into the Flame Kingdom, and even found a lover to have an illegitimate child.

The transformation of a mage into an arcanist is the first step in the reform of magic, and the next step is to reform the way mages are inherited, no longer focusing on secrecy, but integrating into the knightly system and adopting an academy system of teaching. All Arcanists are also encouraged to marry, and even start Arcane families.

The current arcanist has completely become Liszt's template for scientists.

After Laird left, Chrissy Truth, the head of the Royal Arcane Academy, walked into the study: "Your Majesty, Kenley is resolute, she is unwilling to get involved in the war, so she took the initiative to avoid suspicion and transferred to the sea laboratory on Anchor Island to study the purification of the devil." ”

Kenley Truth, Vice President of the Royal Arcane Academy, was born into a family of magical elephants in the Kingdom of Steel Ridge and came to the Fire Kingdom to follow the Truth incarnate Ake. He has always been obsessed with the study of magic, and has not returned home for several years, only in correspondence with his family.

But her identity has always been an obstacle, after all, the Iron Ridge Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom are hostile countries.

Liszt nodded: "Help me tell Kenley that I haven't lost trust in her, but since she has no intention of fighting, then she can do research in the sea laboratory with peace of mind." When I dominate the northeastern corner of the legendary continent, I will treat the magic elephant family favorably and will not embarrass her. ”

He recognized Kenley's character, in fact, even if Kenley became a spy, it was nothing, under the pressure of strong strength, the so-called Triple Alliance was just a chicken.

"As you wish, Your Majesty. ”

"How's the Arcanist's magical battle group ready?"

"There are a large number of additions from the ancient magicians of the Moonkillers, and the magic battle group is equipped with ten magic pools, and it has been fully armed. They only need to unleash missile magic, so they are easy to train, and if they are in formal combat, they should be able to compare to your Majesty's Dark Horse Knights. ”

Missile magic is the magic that simply condenses and releases magic between the lowest level of basic magic and the higher level of ordinary magic.

Such as water archery, water arrow shooting, flying rock, wind blade, multiple wind blades, etc.

Missile magic is a very large-scale operation, extracting the magic stored in the magic pool, condensing it into a missile, and then throwing it out, boom, one explosion is a piece. This is the era of the shrinking magic net, a new direction in magical combat, and there will no longer be the embarrassment of magic being disturbed by the knight's charge, and the magician not being able to release magic.

Chrissy's assessment of the Magic Combat Regiment is comparable in strength to the Dark Horse Knights, and the Dark Horse Knights belong to the lowest composition of the Burning Legion.

So in general, the magic battle group is not strong enough.

However, it is much stronger than the knights of the fiefdom nobles, and the long-range spell casts a huge complementary effect to the Burning Legion's knight charge.

"Very well, let this war test the quality of the magic battle group, and if it works well, the Royal Arcane Academy can promote it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Chrissy said the conversation and got up to take her leave.

Liszt leaned back in his chair and looked out the window at the blue sea and blue sky, and from time to time there were knights riding flying monsters flying through the sky in the distance.

The entire Mind Island has become a fortress of war, and is about to accompany his actions to start a vast and epic war.

"Break the back of the Eagle Kingdom first, and then annex the Steel Ridge and the Blast Furnace Fort after cannibalization, this year should be enough, right?" He estimated very optimistically in his heart, with the power of the half-step barrier knight, there was no need for any conspiracy, and the battle was just right.

Closing his eyes, he could feel the invisible Bud flying over the Eagle Kingdom.

Bard was arranged by him to find the natural nodes, and when all the natural nodes of the Eagle Kingdom were found, he could quickly shuttle with the fire dragon Leo to besiege any dragon knight. This time the battle of dragon slaying is no longer a petty fight, only one or two dragon knights will die.

Doomed to fall a large number of dragons and dragon knights.

The power of fate surrounded him, and Liszt even felt the smoke dragon egg in his mind, and he was about to move: "As long as I keep pushing fate forward, the smoke dragon will be able to gain more 'magic power' and regain its life...... When the smoke dragon is reborn, can my fate be reversed at will?"

The birth of the smoke dragon depends on his will, that is to say, the new smoke dragon, the dragon will be replaced by the personality of Liszt.

It's equivalent to his doppelganger.

"I am the smoke dragon, and the power of fate is my power!"
