When everyone was depressed by the disappearance of the dragon soul, two people walked out from behind the stone wall on one side. It wasn't until they walked in front of everyone that the two stopped.

Several people looked at the two people who had just come out, one was wearing a full-coverage white armor, just from the visual view, they knew that this armor was not ordinary. And the other person was Yukino in military uniform, which made everyone still slightly surprised, although they knew that she was expelled by the Sword Biting Tiger, but they didn't expect to enter the legion.

"I'm the head of the Sakura Paladin's Order of the Cherry Blossoms stationed in Kulokas, King Fiorre**, Arcadios." The man in the armor introduced himself first.

Yukino also introduced: "I am a temporary sergeant under the same subordination, Yukino Agulia. ”

"Yukino, why are you here and joining the army..."Lucy asked as she looked at Yukino and was puzzled.

Yukino looked at Arkadios, wanting to speak but not knowing how to say it. Sensing this, Arcadios took a step forward and said, "Let me explain! There is a secret battle plan that is being carried out that requires the power of the Star Spirit Magister, so the power of Sergeant Yukino was recruited here for this plan. ”

Natsu instantly thought of the day after the Great Demon Fight, Lucy was almost kidnapped, and Wendy and Polyucica were innocently implicated, so he stood in front of Lucy, confronting Arcadios face to face, his angry expression was overflowing, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "Wait... We're very concerned about what you're saying about the Star Spirit Wizard, and we're going to make it clear what you haven't said. ”

Arcadios stared at Natsu for a moment, then turned and walked to the passage where he had come, leaving the backs of the others leaving, and said, "Come with me!" ”

Looking at the departing Arkadios, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and they were worried that the other party had some conspiracy, but they couldn't get the answer they wanted to know if they didn't follow.

At this time, Ming Feng knew that someone had to take the lead, so he took the lead to follow, of course, this was also because he knew that there was no danger at this time. And the other people and cats, seeing that Ming Feng followed, they didn't say anything more, and followed.

"Lord Lucy, I please, too! After all, if this battle plan is successful, then Jelf and Akuno Lokia will be wiped out! Yukino said to Lucy with a firm expression.

"Huh!? How could this be! Listening to the other party's words, Lucy was shocked, and then looked at Xue Nai in disbelief, she didn't understand why the other party said this, and she was so sure, but what the other party said could be done?

With such doubts in mind, Lucy also followed Yukino and followed the companion in front of her.

After several turns, the group walked out of the passage and came to the Huadeng Palace Merukrias.

Looking at the long aisle, Arcadios stopped and said solemnly, "Please allow me to apologize from the bottom of my heart for the attack on Miss Lucy a few days ago!" But at that time, I chose such a rude strategy in a hurry, but I didn't have the slightest intention of hurting Miss Lucy, I just wanted to complete the battle plan as soon as possible. I'm really sorry! ”

After saying that, Arcatios bowed to Lucy and everyone very seriously and apologized.

Seeing the appearance of Arcatios, although everyone was not moved, they were somewhat affected by his sincerity. Natsu, in particular, has a less hideous look on his face, and no longer looks like a beast that will explode at any moment.

Straightening up, seeing that everyone's expressions had eased, Arkadios continued to lead everyone along the long aisle, and at the same time continued to explain: "The Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts is just a pretext to absorb a large amount of the magic power of the magicians..."

"Does that mean that a lot of mana is taken away from the mages every year? What a despicable thing! Gajiru interjected, expressing his feelings.

Arkadios didn't care, and continued to lead the way without looking back, and replied, "It doesn't matter what you say, it's all for that plan." For the world-changing gate 'Eclipse', a lot of precious materials have been used to build it alone, and activating it requires not only the Star Spirit Magus, but also a lot of mana, which is why a large amount of mana is taken away from the mages every year. ”

As they spoke, they had come to a large, heavy gate.

Looking at such a majestic door, everyone was speechless in surprise.

"When the sun and the moon meet, use the twelve golden keys to open this door. Open a time tunnel to 400 years ago and crusade against the immortal Jelf, this is the Eclipse Project. Arkadios stared solemnly at the giant door in front of him and said solemnly.

"Through time!? But what does this have to do with Akuno Lokia? Lucy asked, surprised.

Yukino stood on Lucy's side, turned her head to look at her, and explained in a very affirmative tone: "It is speculated that there are some documents left behind, Akuno Lokia was assigned by Gerf to fight the dragon before becoming a dragon, but then lost himself because of the slaughter of a large number of dragons, and began to kill without distinguishing between friend and foe. ”

"That's why I want to use Miss Lucy's power to open the door to this eclipse when the sun and the moon meet, three days later, on July 7." Arcadios followed Yukino's words and said to Lucy very seriously.

"On July 7th... Is it just a coincidence that the day our dragon disappears? Wendy muttered to herself.

'Da-da-da... Da Da Da Da...'

Countless footsteps woke up everyone in contemplation, and hundreds of soldiers suddenly appeared, surrounding Ming Feng and everyone else.

At this time, a short old man walked out from the crowd of soldiers and said in a low voice: "Obediently tie your hands and arrest it!" Colonel Arcadios! ”

"Dutton!? As Minister of Defense, do you want to put the whole country in danger!? Arcadios was surprised for a moment, but then he asked furiously.

Looking at the angry people in front of him, Dutton also yelled angrily: "You actually want to change history!" Of course I'm against this plan, haven't you ever thought about the dangers of doing so? Gremlin!!! ”

In the face of Dutton's roar, everyone didn't know what to do, and all the soldiers also aimed their weapons at them, and the encirclement was instantly reduced to the distance of only one weapon left...
