Sick ...... Well, maybe it's the Holy Dragon Lori Miss Cressel who is too upright, although she was caught by the wind to help, but at this time, she did show a sense of responsibility and motivation that far exceeded Lu Xi's serious party, she didn't rest, but instead sped up, and it only took a day to completely cross Brenor Bay. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is a fairly large bay with dense archipelagos, moderate water temperatures, and abundant fisheries, sandwiched between Cape Storm, Auckland, and the Illist Peninsula, and has been a battleground for warlords for a long time, and can also be seen as the cradle of the human navy after the Second Creation. Of course, after the Shilorians finally achieved continental supremacy under the leadership of successive Auckland kings, whether it was Cape Storm, the original cradle of human civilization, or the powerful local aborigines of the Illist Peninsula, the merchant people of the Taidoc who were good at seafaring and the brave and fearless fighting people, they could only bow their heads in front of the powerful continental overlord. Thus, in this glorious era, Brenau Bay can also be seen as the inland sea of the Holy Auckland Empire.

The fief of Karin's only surviving uncle, the Archduke of Wales, is located in this bay, and it is said to be an island rich in produce, picturesque scenery and a deep-water harbor. The Archduke of Wales (who now appears to be a prince) built an elegant private residence on the island, which is said to be modeled after the summer palace of Ellan Li, on the beach facing the sea and facing the ocean to the south. His Royal Highness the Prince is a "kind person" and a person who is very good at training the Crystal Palace, and he has brought together the illegitimate children of all the members of the Crystal Palace and lives in this palace. It is said that the members of his queen (meow) palace and the children of different biological mothers get along quite happily, and the family lives happily...... For such an ability, Lu Xi can only express all-round amazement. If it weren't for the fact that he was still busy with business, Lu Xi would still be really interested in visiting this object that is worthy of serious study by men in all aspects!

A dragon, a man and a meow, rested for a few more hours on a small island, had a dinner, and then continued on his journey, and finally saw the edge of the continent at the moment when the golden light of the rising sun of the next day shone from behind him. Lu Xi understood that it should be the coastline of the Illist Peninsula in the westernmost part of the Gaboa continent.

It is a triangular peninsula with a total area equivalent to half of the Oakland Empire. In the eastern part of the peninsula stands the Perrenster Mountains, which are of course not comparable to the Atlas Mountains, the Namoa Mountains, and the Hegalos Mountains in terms of size, length, and average elevation, but because they are the home of griffons, the mountains are also rich in precious stones and gold, and they are also quite famous around the world. The peninsula is separated by the Perrenster Mountains and borders the territory of the Draxley family, known as the "Grand Duke of Dragoncastle", the first feudal town in the southwest of the Oakland Empire. Since ancient times, the most powerful princes of the Oakland Empire have gathered the strength of the first gate by virtue of the gold mines and griffons on Mount Perend, as well as the control of the main transportation route to the Illist Peninsula.

Griffin populations and gold mines are largely found in the eastern side of the Perrenster Ranges, on the Auckland side. On the western side, there are quite high-quality gem mines, and the terrain is relatively flat, from east to west, the terrain gradually flattens down, and gradually forms a hilly and plateau terrain that accounts for more than 60% of the entire peninsula. In addition to this, there is a basin called Karad in the center of the peninsula, which is also the flattest, most fertile, and most densely populated area on the entire peninsula.

There are five kingdoms of the Kaladir nobility and three tydoc principalities and independent city-states on the Illist peninsula, all of which date back to the official titles and titles granted by the time of Gil Salad. However, 20,000 years after the fall of the Golden Empire, no one country can completely overwhelm the rest. Even the most powerful kingdom of Kallad, which occupied the entire basin, did not have the strength to unify the entire peninsula.

Of course, the existence of these small peninsula countries to this day can be regarded as the blessing of the gods. You know, next to them is the huge Auckland Empire, but even during the most aggressive and aggressive Yanlong Dynasty, the Empire did not swallow the Illist Peninsula as a big piece of fat on the spot. Perhaps this is because the mountainous and hilly terrain of the peninsula is not suitable for large armies, perhaps the Qadir (who are said to have the blood of the Titans) are a very valiant warrior people, or perhaps the Qadir nobles and wealthy merchants of Tydoc have been more deferential to the Auckland royal families in the past? From the earliest days of the Griffon Dynasty, the spear fighters and highland foot knights of the peninsula, as well as the fleet navy appointed by the Taydocs, have also responded to the call and orders of the Emperor of Auckland and fought hard.

In general, like the larger, more national Cape of Storms, the Illist Peninsula was part of the Oakland Empire's traditional sphere of influence. In the same way, there is a special presence on the Cape of Storm, that is, the place where the supreme beings of Oakland must also show ceremonial respect, the headquarters of the Great Church in Cloudsdale; And deep in the westernmost mountains of the Illist Peninsula, there is a holy place in the hearts of all warriors and knights in the world, and it is also the world's strongest decisive battle class for demon gods enshrined by other countries, the headquarters of dragon knights, and the throat fortress of the world!

Well, the so-called world's strongest decisive battle against the demon god is the nickname Lu Xi gave them.

In fact, this army composed of dragons and top powerful people, although they are worshiped and respected by the nations, their real functions are very vague, and it seems that they can manage anything, from participating in national wars to hunting down wanted criminals, but because the dragon knights are theoretically not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs and "mundane affairs" of the nations, it seems that they can't manage anything.

The same ambiguity includes its subordinate and superior departments. If the Dragon Knights are a company, then theoretically, all countries should be considered shareholders (because of the money), and Auckland, who pays the most, should naturally be the chairman. It is a pity that in today's backward Middle Ages, there is no rubber stamp like the United Nations and a mascot nominally recognized by most countries, and a body similar to a board of directors naturally does not exist. In addition, even the position of CEO, that is, the head of the regiment, is determined by the independent personnel system of the Order itself. In this way, it is inevitable that the "company" will act on its own.

So, there's a very subtle setting...... According to the common sense of the international community, it is natural to think that the Great Sanctuary is the superior authority of the Dragon Knights, but in fact, in most cases, the dispatch of the Dragon Knights is basically the result of the judgment of the Knights' top management. On the other hand, the main operating expenses of the Dragon Knights are provided by the nations, and as the largest of them, the Auckland Empire, which is also recognized as the world overlord and the guardian of the civilized world, also directly stationed a disciplinary and financial supervision agency in the Throat of the World Fortress, and the official documents of the head of the regiment to the imperial court are often referred to as "micro ministers". But after all, this is just a nominal political game of "hello, hello, everyone", and I have never heard of any of the dragon knights' sorties being approved by the Emperor of Auckland.

All in all, it is such a completely self-contained army, but it also brings together the most powerful combat elites in the world, and almost every soldier cooperates with their partners, and has the ability to destroy the army with one horse. If it were placed in Lu Xi's hometown, this kind of powerful "civilian armed force" that is not under the management of the political department has already been banned many times, right? And if you don't know it, you will be labeled as an anti-system terrorist......

However, no matter how many times and political paradoxes exist in this unit, it does not affect this group of no more than 1,000 formal combatants (not including dragons) is still the world's most fascinating totem for young people who practice martial arts.

“…… Speaking of which, the current head of the Dragon Knights, Hector, is still an old friend of our old man, and his partner, Lady Shirovna, is also the daughter of His Majesty the Dragon King Acesa Memnon. "When you enter the Illist Peninsula and the scenery below is no longer the sea but the land, it means that you are getting closer and closer to the Throat of the World.

"Well, she's supposed to be my mother's sister, right? It's just that I've never met before. Regarding the existence of her own family and the kinship of her own family, Miss Corecel was more calm than Lu Xi imagined: "The relationship between my mother and her two sisters has never been harmonious. She is actually a rather willful hedonist in essence, and she feels that both the eldest sister Luetia and the second sister Shirovna have imposed too many burdens on themselves that they don't have to do, and they are completely fooled and abducted! In the War of the Gods, in the Second Creation, and in the War of Qiming, what the descendants of the Platinum Dragon God did was enough to be worthy of the promise of the year, and it was time to live as you like! ”

“…… Uh, Lingtang, it's really chic! "After all, it's the existence of the legendary red dragon Elyas who pushed it back!

"Heh, after all, I love each other with my unobtrusive father, and there must be similarities in the spiritual structure. Can you still expect her to really have the consciousness and compassion to protect the world? "But I think that life is your own, the only and most precious possession," said Cressel. So no one has the right to ask you to do something for the world. But in the same way, if you have done nothing, you are not qualified to make irresponsible comments about others who have contributed. ”

"Although your three views are very much to my liking, if your mother finds out, she should be very sad?"

"When I left Dragon City Delinard to find my father, she was already very sad! But, well, although my mother is not very likable, I actually listened to what she said. As a dragon with a long lifespan, it is indeed more important than anything else to live a free life, a happy and free life! She said, "If it weren't for the help of you this time!" I'll never come so close to the Throat of the World...... Well, even Illiste I'm not coming! ”

"Well, thank you so much...... But why? ”

"Because I'm a hedonist at heart! What if I run over and am really caught by my aunt who I haven't met? I've heard my dad mention it before: after the death of the eldest sister Aunt Luetia, for a long time, there was only one holy dragon in the Dragon Knights, Aunt Shirovna, so she went to Dragon City to make trouble with her grandfather several times, saying that she should train her successor or something......"

"Eh, judging from the experience I had with that Holy Dragon Aunt last time, she might really be able to do such a thing as catching a strong man!"

"But I don't want to be a dragon knight's partner at all, I don't want to fight or be ridden. Although they are still young, the follow-up dragon life plan is very close, such as being a gold medal super theater manager and producer or something, such as finding an interesting good man to fall in love and so on......"

"Our destination is actually 100 kilometers north of the Throat of the World, in the mountains, so we can take a little detour or something...... At your speed, it will take you an extra ten or twenty minutes. As he spoke, he looked at the fat snow leopard, still wrapped in a blanket, behind the saddle. With such a long flight, Lu Xi couldn't stand it anymore, let alone a dying big cat. In order to prevent him from dying on the back of Miss Correcell, Lu Xi had already placed a calming spell on him, and he was sleeping soundly now. Of course, thanks to the Holy Dragon Girl's previous day and night, even if she takes a little detour now, it should be too late.

"There's no need for this! Wouldn't it become Miss Ben's old aunt who had never met me if she was afraid of me? The Holy Dragon Lori immediately raised an objection: "Either you don't come!" You can't hide when you come! Hmph, if you dare to arrest my strong man, it's a big deal to just go head-on! They are all descendants of Bahamut, who is afraid of whom! ”

…… So, even if you win head-on, is there any reward to get? So far, the descendants of the platinum dragon god that I know are really crazy!

The Holy Dragon Lori carried everyone on, and just after noon, Lu Xi saw the shadows of the towers, watchtowers and bell towers looming between the mountains and clouds in the distance, which was the outline of the Throat of the World.

Located at almost the westernmost point of the entire continent, this fortress is called the "Throat of the World", as the name suggests, it guards the first level of the world, as if it were the throat of the world. You must know that riding a true dragon to leave the fortress and march westward only takes less than half a day to pass through the Falling Star Sea and enter the realm of the Western Ocean. In the middle of that vast ocean, huge whirlpools envelop the island, and all year round, terrible tornadoes carry the sea water into the sky, and then form a dense torrential rain and fall. That place is called the Trace of the World, and it is the only void in the Ancient World Enchantment...... Since ancient times, less than 5,000 years later, when two crimson meteors pass through the sky, the world barrier will be like an automatic door, where it will automatically open, exposing the main material plane to all external evils.

At the end of the Apocalypse War, defeated by the Dawn Alliance led by Knous the Great, the battered demon legions, as well as their king Ramsed, eventually retreated from the "Traces of the World" to the abyss. Of course, it is too unreliable to dislike this world enchantment created by the ancient gods, and the great sage of Laxis also added a Laxis forbidden spell to the mark of the world by the way, which is actually a later story.

The reason why the Dragon Knights have their headquarters here is of course very clear. If something really went wrong with the world enchantment, those Chaos Monsters, Dimensional Star Beasts, and old rivals Abyss Demon Descendants from the outside world might also be able to invade the main plane from other places, however, this almost semi-permanent World Trace located in the sea has always been the only stable spatial rift, and it is also the absolute way for the demon army to enter the world of order. If that time comes, the Dragon Knights will be able to rush to the scene as quickly as possible to fulfill their duty to protect the world and fight the final battle of the demon gods. If you're lucky, you might be able to nip the catastrophe in the bud.

Of course, the Throat of the World Fortress itself has existed much longer than the Dragon Knights, which were established after the Second Creation. The entire fortress is built in the steep mountains of the Starfall Mountains (which is also the westernmost mountain range in the whole continent), and most of the main buildings are integrated with the mountains. Even if outsiders reach the foot of the fortress, they can only look at the towering towers and watchtowers that protrude from the high mountains, but they can't find the entrance and exit for ordinary people.

As you can see, this fortress was built in the age of the gods and was built by the Titans. Why the Titans built military fortresses in the westernmost part of the continent, and who they were dealing with, all this is no longer known. Later, when a group of dwarven mining teams arrived nearby, looking for ore veins to penetrate the mountain wall, they stumbled upon a huge group of fortresses in the mountains, and the Throat of the World was once again revealed.

The Dragon Knights are the Dragon Knights, and since Lu Xi has seen the tower of the fortress, it means that he has been discovered by the other party.

So, when the holy dragon Lori was still swaggering forward, there was also a shocking dragon moan from the opposite side.
