Volume 15 The War of Kings Chapter 45 Ambition

In a warehouse in the small town of Indos, Ulysses' face was already unusually dark, and his skin was beginning to show some faint signs of festering, much sooner than he had expected.

Originally, the appearance of the little boy was innocent and lively, but at the moment he was full of gloom and a strong aura of death, just like a half-finished undead creature.

He knew very well that it was not that this body was not good enough, but that his strength was declining, and his resistance to the invisible sacrificial power was becoming weaker and weaker, if it was in his heyday, then he would still have confidence for a few months, but now, he didn't have that confidence, just from the appearance of his body, he could see that the bad condition was bad.

Once the life force existing in the body is completely exhausted, then this power will directly consume his soul origin until he truly dies.

The more time passed, the more Ulysses felt the horror of this sacrificial seal, and he endured this torture of waiting for death all the time, although there was a way to alleviate it, but it was undoubtedly an ordeal.

It's just that today, it seems that his mood is a little better.

Howard finally brought the news he had been waiting for.

"The time agreed with you is one week, and now it will come as promised. ”

Howard waved his hand back, and four servants walked up carrying a sarcophagus and said, "Originally, this thing was very troublesome to transport, but our elven friends helped us solve this problem. ”

This sarcophagus looked heavy, but the faces of the servants were relaxed, obviously not because of the strength of these servants, but because of the sarcophagus itself, it was so easy to carry here.

"Elves?"

Ulysses' brow twitched imperceptibly, as if he had thought of something, and he first squinted at Howard, then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he looked intently at the sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus is engraved with magical runes, only judging from the artistic carving brushstrokes and the graceful curve circle, this is indeed the handiwork left by the elves who advocate aesthetics, but I don't know if the body in the sarcophagus can match its value?

As soon as Howard raised his hand, the two minions nodded, turned around, and effortlessly lifted the lid of the coffin and moved it to the side.

The body of a female elf appeared in front of everyone, her face was like the masterpiece of a master sculptor, the lines were well-defined and full of mysterious beauty, except for the two pointed ears that were particularly eye-catching, and there were faint purple lines on her forehead that faintly peeked out from under the skin.

Ulysses' eyes flashed, and he slowly stood up, and said quietly, "The body of a pure-blood elf?" He walked up and leaned down, as if to determine whether the body met his requirements.

Howard took two steps back, smiling silently, as if he had enough confidence in the body.

It was evident from Ulysses' gaze that this body was not only well preserved, but had been removed from its soul at a time when it was in the prime of its life, and that there was no trace of compulsion in all aspects of its expression and body, which was rare.

The forcibly occupied body must destroy the soul in the body, which will inevitably damage the body itself, and the use value will be greatly reduced, not to mention the dead body, unless it is a very special situation or a strange race, it can generally only be used as a helpless choice.

And the elf in front of him is not only in good health, but also can see that the person who withdraws his soul is also extremely clever, with almost no damage, so to speak, he has achieved the ultimate in all aspects.

It's just this, it's not enough to satisfy Ulysses, with his current state, this body is only for half a month, maybe not, because at that time, he may have been even weaker, thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a trace of disappointment, and said in a deep voice: "Although there is still a gap with my hope, but you can send a pure-blood elf, it can be regarded as your sincerity." ”

Howard smiled and said, "Your Excellency, don't be disappointed, because this body was not originally a barter that we took out, it was only given to you as an incident." ”

Ulysses was stunned, and then his gaze was fixed on Howard's face, as if expecting the following.

Howard pointed to the elf below and said, "This body is just a tool for you to walk, and the body we traded with you has other arrangements, because we are afraid of damage halfway, so we need you to go in person."

In person?

Ulysses frowned, his first thought was whether this was a trap for him, after all, now was the perfect time to kill him.

Even in good condition, Rommels behind Howard was enough to make him jealous, let alone now, if there was really any conspiracy, he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

But after weighing the pros and cons, he still agreed, he knew that if he was just looking for a temporary replacement body, there was no need to bring the pure-blood elf over, and the reason why he did this was to tell himself that the prepared body was even better than the pure-blood elf.

After thinking about it for a while, Ulysses said in a deep voice, "Prepare yourself, we'll leave tonight." ”

Rather than sit here and wait to die, he is still willing to gamble, and the result will not be worse than the original.

"Then Your Excellency, I'll go and prepare first. ”

"Wait. Ulysses called out to Howard, casually threw a dagger to the latter, and said lightly: "The items I collected when I was young have no value in my hands, so I will give them to you." ”

Howard reached out and took the dagger, he put it in his arms without even looking at it, and said with a smile: "Then thank you, Your Excellency." ”

Ulysses nodded and stopped talking.

Howard bowed, turned and walked out calmly.

......

Duodis stood on the steps of the main hall with a red cloak and a broad-bladed sword in his hands, surrounded by blinding light, setting off him as if the sun god had descended to earth, and although his expression was calm, his eyes hidden in the light revealed a kind of elven arrogance.

The important High Elves of the clan have already retreated to the vicinity of the World Tree under the order, even if the outer clansmen are slaughtered, as long as these High Elves can survive, he can also ensure that the blood of the elves will continue to multiply, not to mention that it is only a plan in case, in the face of a newly promoted human monarch, he is full of confidence in this.

As for the other dragon monarch, there is no need to worry, his wife Sisanai Sally is another monarch of the elven clan, her ability is very special, she is not good at fighting, but she is the only person in the elven clan who can control the power of the world tree and the moon well at the same time, with her assistance, he can increase his combat power to the maximum limit.

He gently swung the broad-bladed sword in his hand, and his gaze gradually deepened.

If he can survive this crisis, the entire elven race will surely usher in a new dawn, and even using the transformation body to conquer the Apollo continent is not a dream, thinking of this, even with his long-dormant heart, he can't help but rise a fierce determination.

Feeling that two powerful auras were rapidly approaching from two directions, the corners of Duodis's mouth couldn't help but hook up a hint of understanding. But suddenly, his face couldn't help but change, and a silver figure actually appeared out of thin air less than two meters in front of him, and the huge broad-bladed sword in his hand was almost instantly blocked diagonally.

"Qiang"

The sound of metal weapons clashing reverberated around the hall, and the huge momentum from his arms made Duodis's muscles tense, and the light on his body flickered, and he felt a huge pressure on his spine and legs, and he couldn't help but take two steps back to stand firmly, and when he looked up again, the other party had disappeared without a trace.

But at that moment just now, a pair of lizard-like pupils came into view, and there was a mixture of surprise and fierce gaze.

Duois knew that this was a demonstration from the other side, but he didn't care, because such an attack had no effect on him.

A head-to-head battle between two kings, if it is a normal situation, then it is more than who makes fewer mistakes, who has more information, in the absence of other help or special circumstances, this battle is likely to be protracted, and the last ten ** will not be fruitful, even if the winner is divided, the defeated side is only showing weakness and fading, and the victorious side is actually helpless to take the other party, because the strength of both sides is close to each other, and they are also people who control the rules, without absolute strength, it is impossible to completely overwhelm the other party.

However, if two kings or several kings deal with one king at the same time, the result will be very different, which means that if you make a small mistake, you will be caught by the opponent and fall into the abyss of no return, and the battle will most likely be won or lost in a short time.

Especially this time, if the five kings did appear in front of him together, it would only take a moment to kill him, and he didn't even have a chance to fight desperately.

But now......

Duois smiled proudly and took two more steps forward, the gems and magnificent runes on the hilt of his broad-bladed sword reflecting the glorious brilliance in the sunlight.

Under the influence of the World Tree, his defensive ability will be improved like never before, and he will no longer be afraid of the enemy's general attack, and with the Moon Well continuously providing him with the strength and spirit he has lost, he is not afraid of the lack of physical strength, and can take the initiative to launch round after round of attacks regardless of consumption.

As long as you compare it, you will know that now there are only two monarchs left on the other side, and they are still from an expedition, there is no retreat and supplement, and more importantly, the two people are not the same race, and the two sides may not be able to really work together, so to speak, before the battle started, Duois thought that he was already invincible.

"O men, today is your destruction, the elegy of Amoron will be sung for you, the mountain peaks of Carondello will raise the banner of conquest tomorrow, and the lowly inferior races will wait for the glory of the High Elves to be re-swayed to every corner of the continent"

Duodis ripped off the cloak behind him, and the light covering his whole body trembled, and then began to roll like a wave, and finally converged into his body like a tidal tide, revealing a red heavy plate armor, like a phoenix-shaped shoulder armor on both sides of the shoulder, all the way up to the neck to form a defense, the left arm of the arm was a small horn shield, all kinds of magic runes and spars inlaid throughout the armor, faintly flashing with an unfathomable dark light.

If it was an ordinary elf wearing this armor, it would be enough to increase his strength by several levels, but he knew that the opponent he was facing today was a human monarch, and this armor could only play a supporting role at most.

However, anything can happen during the battle, not to mention that this is a battle that will decide the fate of the entire race of surface elves, so even a small assistance may be able to save your life at a critical moment.

Elomon's figure appeared in the air more than 100 meters away from Duodis, he clenched his fists, his eyes were full of chagrin, although the blow just now was intended to be a temptation, but he actually had the idea of a successful blow in his heart, but the result of the failure made him quite frustrated.

He watched back and forth in the air several times, trying to find a flaw in Duois, but he was never able to find it.

In the final analysis, this is also due to his lack of actual combat experience, the dragon clan prohibits private fighting, and most of the reason for becoming a king is because it is bloodline, and it has nothing to do with his own efforts, both psychologically and combat skills are far inferior to his ancestors in the first continental war.

Elomon already knew that if he fought alone, even if he did it a thousand times in the same way as before, the result would be indistinguishable, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little retreat in his heart, but now he was still hesitating, because there was a human strength in the station conquest he didn't understand, if he cooperated with himself to attack once, would he be able to succeed?

With this thought, he was not willing to retreat so easily.

After a moment's hesitation, he glared at Duodis fiercely, then turned his head and flew towards the approaching aura.

Luo Lan had reached the square in front of the Proclaimer's Temple, which was directly south of the World Tree, at the root of the system, and the steps extended upwards, and every visitor from afar needed to raise their heads and look up to see the hall.

He looked at it with great interest, the momentum of this temple had no effect on him, and he even thought in his heart that after today, this building that can be called a work of art might become a relic for future generations to find, right?

With a flash of silver, a figure leaped out of the void, and Elomon appeared at his side.

Luo Lan's gaze moved to the other party's body and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Elomon, I thought you had left early. ”

Elomon raised his eyebrows, raised his head, and said, "Ostram is my friend, and since I have made a commitment to my friend, I will not easily turn my back on this friendship." ”

Luo Lan pursed his lips secretly, this dragon monarch may not really be proud and illusory promises, as for friendship and the like, it is even more nonsense, I am afraid that it is more fragile than Zhen Porcelain, the reason why the other party is willing to stay here is just because the other party is a silver dragon, what he is best at is the speed of space movement and surpassing the vast majority of creatures, even if it is really the most crisis, he can calmly retreat, the elves will definitely not be able to stop him, and they may not have the determination to offend the dragon clan to the end.

Elomon hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to stare at Luo Lan's face, and said seriously: "Your Excellency, please help me defeat those hateful elves together, I need your help." ”

Luo Lan glanced at the other party, although Elomon still used some polite wording in his words, but in fact, he put himself in a subordinate position, and from those eyes, he could still see a trace of pride that could not be concealed.

Obviously, in Elomon's opinion, he thinks that his strength is higher than that of Luo Lan, and he even thinks that the side with his own existence will not lose no matter what.

But his suggestion at this time was definitely not because of how much he valued this expedition, or out of any commitment, but in fact it was out of a defense of self-esteem, he could not tolerate his opponent being so arrogant in front of him, just as the beast needed to show its minions to show its strength, and he also had to use the initiative to attack to prove that he was not a weakling, this subtle and complex mentality was instantly understood by Luo Lan.

Luo Lan smiled faintly, he neither gave a clear answer, nor did he say anything to refuse, because it was unnecessary.

A man like Elomon will always be on the side of the strong, and it is absolutely impossible to expect him to be consistent with his own.

It is even possible to blame yourself for the failure because the attack did not go well again.

Unless you can show your strength enough, then the other party will always be on your side, and if you appear weak, then you must be ready to be abandoned by the other party at any time.

Luo Lan's eyes flashed like cold lightning, it seemed that he was in a crisis today, but on the other hand, this was not a good opportunity for him to show his strength?

Since becoming a king, he has never faced other monarchs face to face.

In his opinion, a king who has not fought with other kings is like a recruit who has not been on the battlefield, it seems that he is armed to the teeth and has won the respect of the powerful of the same rank, but in fact, it does not make them truly fearful, and as for prestige or anything, there is no such thing as anything at all.

And these are all based on the results of the record

For example, Caterina once fought against the alliance of three monarchs, but in the end she had to retreat voluntarily because she had no way to take her, and in terms of ranking, her frontal combat power is the first among kings.

Another example is Luo Lan's teacher, the Death Monarch Pelomon Hughes, the reason why he is feared by many kings is because he has a record of successfully assassinating the Beast Raging Monarch and the Roaring Monarch, and there is no king who is not afraid of the dagger from behind.

Even Rommels, despite his previous lack of fame, earned the title of Ghost Monarch after assassinating Adriman.

This is an invisible deterrent and an acknowledgment of its status.

Luo Lan has not obtained his own title until now, which shows that his status and strength have not been truly recognized by other monarchs, and all this needs to be explained by his achievements.

He looked up at the majestic man standing there above Duodis, a grim smile on his lips in the shadow of his hood.

So, let you be my first stepping stone
