Chapter Ninety-Nine: Suspicious and Suspicious
Seeing that Chen Jian and the others were safe and sound, Ryan and his party were of course surprised and delighted. While the two sides told each other about the battle with the enemy, they returned to the area where they had originally fought with the golden dragon and cleaned up the battlefield.
The dead Angel Clan warriors were hastily buried in a remote valley by everyone, and now it is wartime, there is no way to pay too much attention to it, so you can only find a way to rebury it after the war, and it is normal for people to die on the battlefield, and this kind of thing happens from time to time.
The corpse of the golden dragon remained in place, although the corpse of the dragon was quite precious, but in this wilderness, time was short, and the manpower was not enough to move this hill-like creature.
Then the group once again found a hiding place, ready to plan the next battle.
For the angels did not resurrect the dead companions, Chen Jian was quite strange, he secretly asked the female magician, only to know that not all angel people have the resurrection technique, which is quite anti-heaven.
"Only after the strength reaches a certain level, the racial ability of the angel clan will be opened, generally speaking, only the archangel-level angel clan has the ability to resurrect others, and this ability is not unlimited, if the deceased has been dead for more than a day, or their corpses are too seriously damaged, they cannot be resurrected, otherwise the angel clan is not invincible in the world?"
Despite her youth, Ash Temple, a beautiful sorceress who had studied a lot of materials in the Great Library of Bracada, was well-informed and could answer many of the lord's questions.
It is undoubtedly quite comfortable to have such a know-it-all company.
But the sorceress's words at this time made Jian Chen a little sad, originally he had been hesitating about what to do to speak to High Priest Ryan, who had a bad relationship with him, and asked him to help resurrect the dead guard soldiers, but he didn't expect that they had no hope of resurrection for a long time.
The escape of the golden dragon Beccaria made everyone a little worried about the future of the battle, because their strength in their hands has been completely exposed to the enemy, which will make them very passive in the guerrilla war in the future.
Jian Chen: They didn't know yet, in fact, the opponent had misjudged their strength.
Beccaria soon returned to the elven heroine Alice and reported to her what had happened to her in Hammondale and everything she had discovered, as well as her speculations.
Alice was taken aback by the injuries on her old friend's body and the fact that a golden dragon was killed and a golden dragon was missing, and in her prediction, even if the three golden dragons encountered the enemy, even if they couldn't beat them, it would always be no problem to retreat.
Beccaria's strength is even more aware of her, and she can let this golden dragon hero escape back in such an embarrassment, and the strength of the opponent can be seen.
What's more, according to the golden dragon himself, the other party was nothing more than four ordinary angel warriors and three human mages, and a half-elf archer.
Jian Chen's strange attacks made Beccaria mistake him for a powerful magician.
After listening to the golden dragon's report, Alice fell into deep thought.
Of course, it was impossible for four ordinary angel warriors to let the three-headed golden dragon suffer such a big loss, and it was definitely the three human magicians who played a key role in this.
Two of the magicians blessed the four angels with various beneficial magic, greatly improving the combat effectiveness of the angel warriors, and using stealth magic to launch a sneak attack with tactics, both in the use of magic and tactical arrangements are very clever, which shows that the opponent's commander is quite sophisticated.
Another magician was even more incredible, daring to ride a flying horse to fight the golden dragon in the sky, and even used a strange magic that had never been seen before to cause damage to the golden dragon with extremely high magic resistance.
The most intuitive proof of the power of this magic is the dragon horn broken off from the head of the golden dragon Beccaria, the broken part of the dragon horn is quite smooth, and with Alice's eyesight, it is really impossible to discern what kind of magic attack can cause such a result.
Could it be a grandmaster-level magician? Otherwise, the other party really has several legendary treasures mentioned by the Elf King!
Apart from these two possibilities, Alice couldn't think of any other reason.
On the continent of Erathia, it is a well-established fact that only grandmaster-level magicians can inflict magical damage on the Golden Dragons with the top super powerful magic of each department.
And only the treasures such as the Wizard's Hat and the Ancient Magic Book, as the Elven King guessed, could give a magician who has not reached the Grandmaster level the ability to harm the Golden Dragon.
Otherwise, there will only be the magical weapons of the legendary Age of Miracles Heavenly Foundry.
Alice prefers the idea that her opponent has top-level treasures and ancient weapons, not only because of the Elven King's speculation and previous information about the other party's possession of treasures, but more importantly, Beccaria's description of the ruins of Harmondale Castle.
Making an experienced Golden Dragon hero not see how this castle was destroyed is very telling in itself.
Aside from powerful magic and massive siege engines, what else can destroy a castle that has been standing for hundreds of years in a short period of time?
Of course, there is only the magical weapon of the legendary Age of Miracles Heavenly Foundry.
Another situation that also made Alice quite concerned was that the golden dragon said that there was no sign of large-scale activity of the Erathian army in the Hammondale area, and there were no human defenders even in the town of Harmondale.
Could it be that the other side really only has as little force as the intelligence says? And already depleted in the previous battle with Ivo? Or is the other party already hiding in the shadows, waiting to strike a thunderous blow at himself?
What about the appearance of the Angel Clan warriors? The intelligence does not say that there are angel warriors under this lord, and the number of magicians is not right, one has become three, not to mention, all of them are strong.
The commander of the other party is not to be underestimated, he can design the elven hero Ivo to lead the army into the castle and annihilate it all, and can also make the battle-hardened golden dragon hero Beccaria suffer a big loss, whether it is destroying his own castle or letting the angels stealth and sneak attack, it shows how eclectic, imaginative, ruthless and sophisticated this human commander's tactical thinking is.
Can a lord of civilian origin do this? Could all this be a conspiracy of the Erathian Empire?
The suspicious Alice did not know that her thinking had entered a misunderstanding, so she immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, rest on the spot, and then report the latest information and her own thoughts to the Elven King through magic transmission.
When this information was delivered to the Elven King's desk, the Elven King was in a daze for another piece of information.
There had been information that the garrison of Marston City of the Erathia Empire had moved, and it seemed that it was preparing to support Hammondal.
This situation did not attract much attention from the Elven King, the distance from Marston City to Harmondale was about the same distance as the Elven army was to Hammondale at that time, and it was impossible for the Marston defenders, who had set out later than the Elven army, to arrive before the Elven army.
What's more, the Elven King has already sent a second wave of troops, and this army has not only gathered more troops, but also the unicorns sent by the Forest Dragons to help.
However, this piece of information in his hand gave the Elf King a solid blow to the head, making the Elf King's once fanatical heart become as cold as snow in an instant.
One of the main griffin legions of the Erathian Empire suddenly came out, and the direction they were heading was none other than Hammondal.
And this information was not sent out in time for some reason, and it is estimated that this griffin legion set off at about the same time as the Pegasus knights sent by itself, and judging by their flight paths, they may have reached the territory of Hammondale now.
He never imagined that the Erathia Empire not only did not dare to launch a large-scale war as he imagined, but also responded to the war very actively and vigorously.
Could it be that your guess was wrong? The Erathian Empire wasn't as weak as expected? The Elven King was completely incomprehensible to the Human Empress's actions, and even doubted his own judgment.
Although he was quite accurate in his judgment of the current situation in the Erathian Empire, he underestimated Empress Catherine's determination to revive the Griffonheart Dynasty.
The main griffon legion, which was originally stationed on the northern defense line of the empire and was responsible for defending against Dia's undead army, received the order and directly crossed Dia's airspace directly from the air according to the Empress's instructions, and quickly arrived at Hammondal.
This bold action caused Dia's necromancers to jump for a while, and they mistakenly thought that the Erathian Empire was about to go to war with them again.
