295 The dragon that fell from heaven
Not everyone in Desik is willing to accept the rule of the Magic Empire, and many people who oppose Prince Arthur in White Rock City have made their stance clear in their own ways. Among them, the biggest force is Bazemore and Elizabeth in the small northern city of Auckland.
Bazemore himself is a man who is obsessed with the cultivation of magic, he does not have much affection for the Magic Empire and the Desik Empire itself, and his daily affairs are also taken care of by Elizabeth. And Elizabeth is quite resentful of the Desik Empire being subverted by the Magic Empire. Therefore, many former nobles who couldn't hide under the oppression of the Magic Empire finally chose to come to Auckland City to join Elizabeth, a member of the royal family, and as a result, more than thousands of people gathered around Auckland to resist.
But the Magic Empire can't sit idly by forever, at least this winter, a number of troops have been mobilized to the northern frontier of the Magic Empire, besieging the city of Oakland from three sides. Perhaps because of Bazemore's face, these troops did not immediately attack Oakland City, but at least their purpose was to prevent Oakland City rebels from coming out to cause trouble, and they still achieved it.
Elizabeth, who was weak and weak, could not enlist the help of her teacher, although her teacher had also helped her get in touch with the Shang Alliance and the Dispatch Army, but it was far from quenching her thirst, and Elizabeth did not see any hope for the time being.
But she was not willing to be at the mercy of others, so from time to time she also took the army, plus herself, to find trouble with the surrounding army. In a short period of time, there were several frictions between the two sides, each with damage.
On this day, Elizabeth again led a small army to patrol the plains east of Otlan City. These days, she had reorganized her army: the remnants of the former regular army had been organized into a full infantry regiment, including a cavalry battalion, and the rest, which she regarded as a reserve, had remained in the barracks outside Auckland. The situation of these armies is very bad, they lack food and clothing, and there is no room for so many people, and the small city of Auckland simply cannot support so many people.
But there is no way, these people basically have a deep hatred for the Magic Empire in White Rock City, and it is impossible for them to defect to the Magic Empire. Elizabeth had no choice but to lead her army in search of food and supplies to feed the group. And this time, the target is the magic empire army that surrounds them.
These Magic Empire armies are actually the armies of the Desik Empire themselves, and even many of them were colleagues of each other before. Elizabeth is a relatively strong person, and she never relents when it comes to fighting.
Today, however, she ran into hard stubble.
Originally, her target was a small outpost on the other side. At night, Elizabeth secretly went to reconnoitre, and there were only more than 500 soldiers at the outpost, and a mid-level magician was in charge. There was a large amount of food and weapons in the outpost. Elizabeth summoned a thousand infantry and two hundred cavalry, and took advantage of the low visibility in the early morning to sneak here.
It's just that Elizabeth is a person with a high talent for magic, but her military literacy is very poor. It's normal, before that, she was the daughter of the prince, how could she have the opportunity to command the army. And in this situation, it is impossible for her to give up the power of the army to others.
So the group was noticed before they could touch the vicinity of the outpost. And Elizabeth also found that this outpost was simply a trap for herself.
Compared to Prince Arthur's attitude towards Bazemore's family, these soldiers on the front line were very different. The order only told them not to attack Oakland City, but Elizabeth had caused them a lot of trouble these days. So everyone came up with the idea of setting a trap to seduce Elizabeth.
And Elizabeth, who knew nothing, stepped into this trap stupidly.
At first, she wondered why the Magic Empire's armies were so useless, complacent about the defenselessness of the outposts. And the next moment, countless crossbow arrows and throwing stones flew from all directions, and she realized that her army had been ambushed.
At this time, Elizabeth, who lacked military literacy, was at a loss, and her soldiers fell in droves. In a hurry, Elizabeth immediately ascended to the sky and tried to summon powerful magic, and the next moment a crossbow arrow flew along with the hem of her skirt, scaring her into a cold sweat. The Magic Empire itself is a horde of magicians, and how the way of nature deals with magicians. At the same time, in the ambush around them, several black-robed great magicians also flew into the air.
"Bad luck!" Elizabeth was secretly frightened.
At this moment of crisis, Elizabeth did not know that her teacher, Bazemore, was hidden behind the plains not far away. Bazemore is neutral to the Magic Empire or the Desik Empire, but he can't allow anyone to hurt his apprentice Elizabeth. He was just about to make a move, when he suddenly heard a "whoosh" in the sky. Bazemore and Elizabeth in the room both felt the majesty of the loud noise, and turned their heads to see a black shadow flying rapidly towards them.
The body was so large, with golden wings glittering in the sunlight, that Elizabeth was a little fascinated for a moment. The magicians of the Magic Empire didn't know who was coming, so they were waiting for them.
The golden dragon's body glided through the sky, approaching the array of Magic Empire troops from behind. Before everyone could react, the dragon opened its mouth, and a flame erupted, sweeping straight towards the crowd.
"Ahh
The dragon flew past the Magic Empire's army and then turned around, taking a deep breath as another burst of flame erupted.
"Wow, what kind of sacredness is that!" Elizabeth, who was not far away, was extremely excited to look at the majestic posture of the creature in the sky. The other party came at a coincidental time and just saved himself.
Bazemore, on the other hand, received the magic he was about to cast, nodded secretly, and then turned to leave.
The golden dragon spewed a few more puffs of dragon fire on the heads of the Magic Empire's troops, completely crushing them. In the snow and ice of the northern country, the temperature of this flame made Elizabeth feel a little warm.
The golden dragon slowly descended from the sky, and it was only then that Elizabeth could see the dragon's scales, its muscular body, its sharp claws, and a man and a woman on its back.
That's Koster and Feida, and this golden dragon is naturally Koxter's Kaka.
"Woo!" Kaka was so pleased with her victory that she raised her head to the sky and roared, and Elizabeth was startled by the dragon's roar, and many of her soldiers couldn't help but cover their ears and hide on the ground.
"Who are you?" asked Kester, sitting on the dragon's back.
Elizabeth stepped forward, "I am Princess Desik, Elizabeth, daughter of Prince Ferdinand!
"I'm the general of the Shang Alliance, Koster, and this is my lover Feida. Kerst also announced his identity, and then thought for a moment, "Prince Ferdinand, the one who died in the Merchant Alliance?"
Elizabeth was not angry, "Yes, but he did not die in the Shang Alliance, but in the hands of the Dark Rising, which is now the Magic Empire!"
Kester also smiled, "To be honest, Feida and I were at the scene on the day of the Manning Incident, and we were one of the survivors at that time. Let me pay tribute to you, Your Highness, Elizabeth, for the heroic death of your father, and the valiant death of his guards. ”
Unexpectedly, Elizabeth didn't appreciate it, "Forget it, what kind of person my father is, I don't know yet." Okay, okay, you are the general of the Shang Alliance, and the situation of your current Shang Alliance is also not good. ”
"Exactly, that's what I'm here for. ”
Elizabeth nodded, "I see, then please come back to Auckland with me, and I'll take you to meet my teacher." ”
"Teacher, your teacher?"
"Yes, my teacher was the youngest son of Emperor William IV of the Desik Empire, Archduke Bazemore, and also my uncle. ”
The situation in Auckland City was beyond Castter's imagination, and life here was much more peaceful than he expected. As the front line of the Desic Empire's defense against the Magic Empire, it has not been affected by much war.
"Well," Elizabeth was silent for a long time, listening to Kerster's question, "I have to tell you something. ”
Elizabeth told the truth that Archduke Bazemore was the protector of the dark rising north~, and also described the current situation in the whole way. After her introduction, Kist learned that the war situation in Desik was much more complicated.
"With all due respect," Kerst couldn't help but be surprised, "in Oakland City, it's your teacher, Archduke Bazemore, or your Highness Elizabeth." ”
"The teacher is a veteran magician, and his pursuit is only magic. He only joined the Magic Empire because of the magic inheritance, and he did not agree with the concept of the Magic Empire. It was only because he was also opposed to Emperor Edward that he sat back and watched the actions of the Magic Empire in Desik's territory. ”
Kester found it difficult to understand that the masters of these continents all had their own ideas, Bazemore was like this, and the Great Elf King was like this, everyone had their own pursuits, but no one cared about the peace of the continent.
"It's useless to talk so much," Elizabeth reassured Kerster, "I'm at least Desik's princess, so just talk to me about anything." ”
Kost was silent, "That's it. ”
"By the way, General Koster," Elizabeth asked curiously, "the golden dragon, what's the matter, you can't be a dragon knight?" ”
Koster smiled and shook his head, "I don't know why, I just know that it appeared next to me for some reason when it was a dragon egg." ”
"And you're going to keep it all the time?" Elizabeth tilted her head.
"What else can I do otherwise?" Kerst laughed.
During the conversation, Elizabeth's men came in, it was the old court eunuch, and he saluted Elizabeth, "Your Royal Highness, the meeting room is ready, you can begin." ”
Elizabeth then stood up, "Come on, General Koster. ”
