Chapter 602: Twilight (2)
The air was filled with the stench of decay and blood, and the once open and bright city was only a ruined wall, full of shocking stumps and flesh, and the soldiers in armor did not say a word, bowing their heads and dragging the corpses in the dark red mud, ready to burn and bury them.
Odin felt a little uncomfortable, she hadn't seen the cruel reality of the battlefield, and she had also revealed the dragon's body in the Black Rock Mountain and roared to kill demons, but for some reason it seemed that as she grew older, her heart became softer and softer, and she felt a kind of sympathy for the lost life, and she didn't want to see such blood happen again.
"It's normal, after all, you still have the queen's blood in your body."
Bronya stood beside her, she was younger than Odin, in human form a child of five or six years old, but she was unmoved in the face of this cruel and terrible battlefield, her eyes were full of plain and cold-blooded meaning: "It's different from us pure-bred dragons. ”
If this sentence is said by others, it can indeed be seen as a kind of contempt and ridicule, and Blogna is completely literal, so Odin doesn't mind, her eyes are flowing with pale golden light, she looks around everything in front of her, and hesitates to speak: "Father said that in order to deal with the upcoming demonic invasion, Eladia needs a unified and efficient empire, so there is war. ”
She continued, "But this reason is difficult for me to accept, I don't understand, since the demon invasion is imminent, shouldn't the native beings of Eladia shake hands and form an alliance?" How can there be internal friction at this time, start wars, and kill each other. ”
"Are you questioning the orders of your father, the Great Emperor of the Blackwing Empire?" Bronya turned around and looked up at her with a blank face, and several armored radiant dragons around her also turned around to watch with dark golden eyes when they heard the movement.
"Nope."
Odin shook his head, lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled slightly: "I just can't figure out if there is any point in the withering of so many lives, and what are we ...... Why fight? ”
"To survive."
"After so many years of development and change, the empire has already swelled to an unimaginable level, and we need more and larger territory to accommodate the inhabitation, production and reproduction needs of the various races in the empire. And Eladya has limited land, and if we expand, we will inevitably crowd out the living space of other populations...... When my father told me the story of the emperor taking them to find the first lair, I already understood this truth, this is not a problem that can be solved by negotiation and alliance, only you can live and die. ”
"In addition to this, there are many other reasons, such as the imminent demonic invasion you mentioned, the secret push of the gods to harvest the faith, the mutual hostility of two countries of different development directions, and so on; In addition, the Blackwing Empire was originally quite a belligerent country, and since the sun never set dared to attack our cities and burn our fleets, the Great Emperor would of course return the favor. ”
Bronya looked at Odin's slowly widening eyes, and said in a rather helpless tone: "Odin big fool, you don't think that all this is just because of the ambition of the Great Emperor, right? ”
"It's okay, it's not."
Odin patted his chest to comfort him, and said sincerely: "Blogna, you are so smart, you will definitely become an outstanding prince in the future, surpassing your father." ”
"Targaryen will be proud of us, you say." Bronya looked at her with a cold cheek and a warm gaze.
An orc overseer climbed the stairs, his armor and iron pieces clashing with a crisp sound, he knelt down on one knee in front of Odin and beat his chest with his hands: "Your Highness, we have gathered the wounded, and after a rough count, this includes a total of seventy-two endangered people and four hundred and eighty seriously wounded ......"
Before he could speak, Odin had already interrupted him: "They can all survive, take me there." ”
Hearing the Black Dragon Princess's assertive statement, the Orc Overseer felt the uneasiness in his heart dissipate abruptly, and he stood up and led Odin and Bronya to the central square of Kohor.
The priest and the doctor in the white robe are busy, for the healing of the wounded, there are currently two different sets of plans for the Black Wing Empire, one is the common temple priest magic in the mainland, and the other is the medical medicine that has emerged in the north in the past hundred years, under the intervention and guidance of the empire, the two types of plans are not opposite, but together constitute the existing medical system of the Black Wing Empire.
There was no medicine in Odin's classes, nor was she a priest of a god, and it stands to reason that no matter how powerful she was, she would not have the ability to heal the wounded, but the faith instilled through the Empire had allowed her to grow tremendously, gain divine powers, and successfully condense the emblem.
The little guy drowned in his own sea of consciousness, found the shining emblem called "Wish" from the hazy light of faith, and held it in his hand.
"Pray for healing." She whispered.
As soon as the words fell, the divine power burst out in an instant, and the incomparable golden blazing light bloomed with Odin as the center, surging in all directions in an instant, different from Caesar's lethal radiation waves, the glow emitted by the black dragon princess was soft and warm, under the illumination of this light, you could see that the broken bones of the wounded were rapidly healing, and the vitality re-emerged.
The effect of group healing is far more than that, under the continuous illumination of the glow, some of the orcs and gray centaurs in the city of Kohor who have just died, their dead and dull eyes have also regained their vitality, and the fatal wounds on their bodies have healed.
The once dead creatures stood up and looked at their hands in disbelief, stunned as a buried radiant dragon crawled out of the ground, flapping its wings and shaking off the dust from its body, chirping with excitement.
The light lasted for a few minutes before it was extinguished, and Odin healed everyone in the central square, and indeed in the city of Kohor, a miracle that left an indelible impression on those who witnessed it, and prayed in praise from the heart.
After doing all this, Odin's breathing became a little rapid, he took a deep breath, and did not turn his head: "Is there still no news from Mr. Corgi?" ”
"Lord Corgi should be fine."
Bronya came to her side silently, raised her arm to take her hand: "Dealing with the enemy's counterattack is the top priority, this city is full of the blood of the Blackwing Clan, you don't want to let this land soaked in the blood of your people go again, right?" ”
——
The Blackwing Empire's attack on Kohor was as sudden as the sunset raid, and the shocking news spread throughout Middle-earth immediately.
As soon as dawn began, the soldiers in armor broke into the tent, and the people waiting for the news slowly examined the communication crystal by the charcoal brazier, and read it three times before finally confirming the facts.
"Overnight, Black Wing broke through the defenses of the Riverlands Alliance and successfully captured the city-state of Kohor, and the beasts were desperate to show their strength, and the Black Emperor even sent his daughter."
The Legion Commander in his fur jacket whispered, and couldn't help but admire: "Black Wing's actions are predictable, but with such an accurate prediction, it seems that not all the scholars in the academy are stupid. ”
"Attack? General Lyon. ”
The adjutant was eager to try, unable to contain the excitement in his heart, they had already set up the traps, just waiting for these beasts to rush out of the forest.
"Of course, this is a prelude to seize the initiative in the war, even if it costs a lot, we must firmly hold the victory in our hands, and Black Wing underestimates our determination too much."
Leon Albert said, "Not to mention that there is still Odin Targaryen there, if we capture her, we can even force the Black Emperor out of Eladia." ”
"I'm going to inform the spellcasters, and immediately prepare the 'Radiant Moon Ring', and the army will be ready to attack at any time!"
"Nope." The wolf-clad captain stood up, "I'll go and watch them prepare." ”
