Chapter 427: Monet (3)
There are no such demons in this world, but it doesn't seem appropriate to call this form a dragonborn, and Stannis thinks that it is more appropriate to use the term "dragonborn demon" to describe the Black Dragon Emperor's disguise - his face is wrapped in visor, four sharp bone spurs grow from his neck to the top of his head, the blade-like exoskeleton at the elbow is slightly curved to the level of the claws, the wings are twisted behind the back into huge bone horns that can move, and the texture of the bones is like red copper that has been repeatedly calcined by fire.
This body is wrapped in black scales, but the huge heart in the chest cavity seeps out a crack-like red light, exuding a majesty like an emperor, which makes people look up.
"I think Azrils, the Flame Helllord, will like the way you look now." Stannis can only comment so.
"Is there a prototype of this body, Your Majesty Targaryen, have you ever seen such a creature?" Anikorn asked, the red and dark camouflage made her shudder, the premonition of the silver dragon in the metal dragon had always been accurate, and the prototype of this body was a terrifying thing.
"At least not Eladia, and neither does the astral plane." Caesar shrugged and confessed, "It came from another memory of mine." ”
"It's like an elegy." Anikorn understood a little and put his mind at ease.
"Before, the situation was urgent, and I could only briefly describe the current crisis facing the mainland, but now that I have time, I can give you a detailed introduction to the situation, Emperor Targaryen." Stannis recreated the table and chair with the Shaping spell, invited Caesar to take a seat, and then sat down himself.
He spread out the map on the table and marked a red circle in a certain location: "This is a map of this area, the red circle marks where we are now, and Monet's Legion of Doom has occupied the entire kingdom of Ebu in front of us." ”
"Hmm." Caesar nodded.
"Although the Ebu Kingdom is a small northern country, because of the perennial conflict with the centaurs of the Southern Plains, there are not a small number of knights and war personnel in the country, they have all the elements necessary for a war machine, border fortresses, magic cannons, garrisons and spellcasting groups, before Monet's invasion, the Ebu Kingdom was stable, and there were no natural disasters, civil strife, curses and other crises. But it is such a country that has undergone a huge transformation from prosperity to extinction in two weeks. ”
"I don't know if that centaur finally went to the Northlands." Caesar had a train of thought.
"The Ebu royal family has never asked for help from other countries, we don't know if they have organized resistance, nor how strong the other side is, the metal dragons have been trying to find more information, but the work is slow." Stannis said.
"How can a country with a large population have no survivors, and the people of the Ebu Kingdom will not think of fleeing, this is unreasonable."
Caesar shook his head, "Also, after Monet's recovery, didn't Bahamut keep an eye on that area?" How could you not have any information. ”
"That's exactly what I'm going to say next."
Stannis didn't care that Caesar called the god by his name, he continued in a heavy tone: "Monet is the Monet of the Lost Age, after being implanted with divine fire, he fought with the dragon god Dragon Queen with the help of Queldore, it is not only a weapon of war, but also an intelligent creature, and even in a sense, it has the basis to become a god. It has the ability to form a mist to insulate the detection of spells and the prying eyes of the gods, and not only that, but according to my personal guess, it even blocked the entire Ebu kingdom after launching an attack, like a python, swallowing its prey whole and then slowly killing and digesting it. It's not that the people of the Ebu Kingdom don't want to escape, but they can't escape at all, and even the news that is transmitted to the outside world has been 'eaten'. ”
"Understood." Caesar said, "When will they start moving again?" ”
"Early the day after tomorrow."
"In such a hurry? Time is really tight. Caesar, who remained in his humanoid form, shook his tail unconsciously.
"We are afraid that the time will be earlier, Monet was killed for 7,000 years, and when it recovers, it will find that its former owner and creator can no longer be found, and Queldore has disappeared without a trace, and these changes will only make it hate the world deeper, and it can't wait to destroy everything."
Stannis glanced at Caesar's ferocious humanoid body and said, "I think that if you were locked up in the abyss of loneliness for seven thousand years, the first thing you would do after you got out of trouble would be to destroy the world." ”
"If it hadn't needed to transform flesh into more minion golems, this would have been much faster, after all, when Euclahir appeared, it was already making tokens."
"And what's your plan next?" Caesar said.
"Garrisoned here."
Stannis stared at the map, "We are waiting for reinforcements, and we have just received news that the armies of the central trading city-states have arrived at Barnyard Bismarck, and they will not join us, but will attack Monet from the rear after the battle. In addition, several chiefs of the Wolfheart Clan and the queen of the Elven Forest are also on their way and are expected to arrive tomorrow evening. ”
"The trading city-states would be mixed in with this." Caesar was a little surprised.
"Not only the trading city-states, but also the countries between the rivers have also given us economic support, and the empire will never set on the sun to deal with Monet, but their Dawn Legion went to the abyss plane in order to deal with the spatial rift, and several lord rebellions broke out within the country because of something called the 'Industrial Revolution' and needed to be suppressed, and the situation was relatively bad, so they could not participate in this operation." Stannis said.
"Sounds like half of Eladia is moving."
Caesar shrugged, although the dominance of dragons in this continent is long gone, when the platinum dragon god Bahamut speaks, there are really not many people who can refuse this pure and good king of the north wind.
"I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of it, Your Majesty Targaryen." The half-elf, who had been silent since turning into a human form, suddenly spoke, "Until now, I haven't seen the army of the Black Wing Empire, are you planning to fight alone?" ”
"The armies of the Empire have already set off."
Caesar slowly drank the wine in his glass, still more humanoid in terms of enjoying life, "But they won't be here." I envy your courage, even Monet's abilities and servants can't be detected, and you dare to press all your power in a cramped corner, so that you are not afraid of being wiped out by a forbidden spell? ”
"Above our heads, there are invisible spell marks and mage eyes."
Unikorn took a deep breath, this was the second time that the black dragon had mocked their actions, and she forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart: "Monet is not a god, just the metal dragon clan, there are more than fifty adult dragons gathered in the camp, plus the spellcasters of Buchi, Malha, and Iyo, we have the ability to counter any spell." ”
Caesar turned his head and glanced at her, but did not speak,
"The reason why I chose to gather here is because it is the only way for the Ebu Kingdom to go north." Stannis explained, "We can't analyze whether Monet's next target is Butcher, Marca or Iyo, we can only concentrate our troops and intercept them early. ”
