Chapter 318: Rescuing the Frost Dragon
Mosalen Bridge
The speed of the airship is very fast, it is very easy to travel two thousand miles a day, and in three days, the first division of Lane returned to the bridge fortress with the airship team. In order to reload the magic crystals and potions, all nine airships were parked on the Blackwater River on the side of the bridge.
As soon as he arrived at the fortress, the ** division Lane rushed to the fortress, and he was ready to report in detail to the marshal of the Silver Crusaders on the situation of the Steelfront Fortress.
As he walked on the bridge, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The soldiers on the bridge seem to have changed a batch, before, these guard soldiers gave people the feeling of being fierce and compelling, but now, some of these soldiers are still the same elite, but some of them are completely young recruits.
What's going on?
** Shi was puzzled in his heart, and he also found that the bridge was filled with a low breath, although it was very light, but it couldn't hide his feelings.
Something must have happened here during his absence.
There is a fortress ahead, and the ** division Ryan saw the attendant who greeted him, this squire has not changed, and Ryan also knows it. When the attendant saw him, he bowed respectfully, addressed him as a master, and then turned to lead the way.
Ryan asked softly, "Did something happen recently?" ”
The attendant nodded slightly, and then said, "You will know soon, the marshal is waiting for you in the study." ”
Ryan nodded, and after approaching the 7th room of the book, he saw that many generals were there, and so was Horn, the chief administrator of the northern realm. There are a few more new faces and a few less old ones. Ryan especially noticed that Angela, the daughter of the Grand Duke, was not here.
The marshal sat behind his desk, unable to see any change.
"Sit, everybody." I saw that the ** division had arrived. Rollin laughed.
Wait for everyone to sit down. He handed a copy of the essay to Lane. Explained: "During the time you were out, something big happened in the fortress. It will inevitably affect the morale of the military, I didn't send you a message, now you can take a look. ”
Ryan took the text and looked at it, looking at it, his brows furrowed tightly, and when he finished reading it, he couldn't help but scold with his heart: "Parason must be ashamed of having such a disciple!" ”
Zacquero. He always thought that he was a person who took care of the overall situation and knew right from wrong, but he didn't expect it to be like this, losing nearly 30,000 elites, which is really a very bad thing.
Luo Lin waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's happened." Ryan, tell me more about Steelblade Fortress. As detailed as possible, we're all curious about the power of the Dark Legion. ”
Ryan nodded, gathered his thoughts, and began to describe his personal experience of the battle at Steelblade Fortress.
All the generals listened attentively and heard some thrills. Some can't help but marvel, others ponder. Someone turned pale. Rollin listened attentively, but his brow furrowed slightly when he heard that Iona had been on the airship.
After talking for more than half an hour, Ryan took a sip of tea and moistened his throat and said, "That's how things went. This time, our airship was able to come back in one piece, thanks to Lady Iona's efforts. We searched all the way back, but unfortunately we couldn't find her, and we hope that nothing will happen to her. ”
Rollin nodded in agreement, but he didn't comment specifically on Iona's actions, and he continued to ask, "In your estimation, what is the loss on both sides?" ”
"The battle wasn't long, but it was fierce. From what I have seen personally, the Dark Legion has lost at least 30,000 demons, of which nearly 20,000 are Flomos, and probably nearly 100 war demons. The high-level undead also lost nearly 50,000, and they were basically killed by artillery, holy water buckets, etc. As for the low-level undead skeletons, the loss is relatively large, and the undead nemesis smoke alone has wiped out at least 200,000 undead skeletons. ”
This loss is indeed very heavy, you must know that the dark army has nothing to add, they are all soldiers, more or less dead.
Especially the demons, according to the werewolf report, their portal has been closed for several months for unknown reasons, and no demons have teleported in recent months, and it is estimated that there should be no new demons coming after that. Now 30,000 have died, which is indeed a heavy blow.
"What is the situation in the Kingdom of Aoraki?" Yopuni asked.
"The losses were also very heavy." A look of horror crossed Ryan's eyes: "The battle on the city walls is extremely fierce. In the beginning, the kingdom of Aoraki defended the city walls with elites, but the losses of the elites were very large, and then they made up for it with militia, and the elites were mixed in, attracting the attention of powerful demons with the flesh and blood of the militia. I estimate that by the end of the battle, at least 100,000 soldiers had fallen on the 300-meter wall, of which at least 80,000 militiamen had died. The blood remained, and a stream of blood appeared under the walls, oh my! ”
Ryan couldn't go any further, and after a while he continued: "Including those who were killed by the undead with arrows, I think there should be about 140,000 warriors who should have died in the Aoraki Kingdom. The elite is about 30,000. ”
This is a bit better than the Dark Legion, but the situation in the realm of the living is much more complicated than that of the undead.
Rollin listened to Ryan's description and asked, "So, did Paimon really levy 700,000 militia?" ”
"Just more, no less." Ryan was pretty sure he could see the airship very clearly.
"The total number of people in the Aoraki Kingdom is less than 10 million, and a fortress has gathered nearly a million people, not including those logistics soldiers in the rear. If I don't expect it to be bad, the shape of Aoraki's country should be very serious, and if one is not done well, there may even be a big mess. Rollin frowned.
He had estimated that the limit of the militia to be levied in the fortress was 300,000, but Paimon went directly to 700,000, what a fool asking for trouble.
In a steel front fortress, 700,000 people can't go to the battlefield at all, so they can only play soy sauce in the back, which is a complete waste of people's power.
After being silent for a while, Luo Lin said: "Wolf King Gray recently sent back news that the Great Demon King has no intention of continuing to attack the Steel Blade Fortress, and he has led the legion to retreat to the Davik Fortress. Then it's clear that he's ready to come over to us. ”
Ryan was shocked: "But we"
They are in a terrible situation, nearly 30,000 elites are gone.
Rollin smiled: "It's not that bad. We are 30,000 warriors less, but the elves of the Moonlight Continent have already contacted us. ”
said. Rollin pulls a copy of the text out of a small brown log tube. Pass it to the generals.
"The elves have come fifteen thousand elite archers. Among them, there were 2,000 sniper archers who had no missing arrows within 300 meters. There were also thirty sharpshooters. With our turret group on the river, as well as the modified artillery ships that tour the river and the airships in the sky, we are not without the ability to fight. ”
This is indeed good news, very good, and the generals have a look of joy on their faces.
Glevin smiled, "I really didn't expect the elves to come to our aid, and so strongly. ”
As far as he knew, the population of the elves was not large, and the entire continent was estimated to be only a million people. Now there are fifteen thousand people at once, and there are countless masters, which shows the sincerity of the elves.
Rollin smiled: "The elves are sincere, of course we have to entertain them carefully." It's up to you, Horn, and of course, don't upset the dwarves. ”
Horn stood up and saluted, "I'll make the elves feel welcome." ”
Through the elves Lufi and Selena, he has a certain understanding of the customs and habits of the elves, and he also knows their taboos very well, and when the elves come. He didn't say that he did it flawlessly, at least to make the elves comfortable.
Horn errands. Luo Lin has always been relieved, so he smiled and said: "Then today's matter is here, everyone will go and prepare." Horn, Ryan, you two stay for a moment, I still have something to discuss. ”
The other generals left, and then only the chief Horn and the ** division Ryan were left in the study. Sphinx.
Rollin looked lightly at the top of the desk, sighed, and said, "I'm going to talk about Iona. ”
The two listened attentively. Iona is the Ice Queen, and the Frost Giants are all restraining her, and her disappearance out of thin air is a big deal. In fact, Luo Lin avoided talking about it just now, and it was a little strange for ** Shi Lane to do so.
"What I want to say is top secret, and after you have heard it, only remember it in your heart, and never say it." Rollin Road.
"Yes, Marshal!" Both of them looked cautious, and their sitting posture changed to sitting upright.
"In order for her to lead the Frost Giants south, I once signed a loyal soul pact with her to guarantee our mutual trust. So I can feel that she's still alive, but it's in a terrible situation, and if no one rescues her, I'm afraid she'll become the new undead dragon. Luo Lin didn't say anything about the life-sharing contract, the contract, he didn't say it, no one could guess, and the so-called loyalty contract was just a weak constraint, and he didn't have to worry about being used.
"Can you feel her save?" Ryan asked solemnly.
"I can feel the general direction."
Ryan immediately stood up: "Then let's go immediately and go by airship." The Frost Giants need to be restrained, and Lady Iona must not be a puppet of the undead. ”
If Iona becomes an undead puppet and the Frost Giants roam the continent, it will make matters worse.
Horn's lips moved, trying to stop Rollin from taking the risk, but he knew it was important, and finally his words turned away.
"What should I do?" He said.
"When I'm not around, I'm in control." Luo Lin said: "Take an airship, if you go back and forth, it will only take a week, and the speed of the Dark Legion is not so fast, and they are still rushing back to Davik Fortress." ”
"I'll do my best." Horn nodded heavily.
An hour later, the airships that had just returned to the fortress of the Mosalen Bridge had finished replenishing their mana crystals, and one of the airships took off again, flying at full speed in the direction of the keel hills
At the same time, five hundred kilometers south of the Dragonbone Hill, the Great Demon King Bucklay received a new guest.
As soon as the two sides approached, they felt their respective powerful powers, and the Great Demon King's expression became solemn, and he said respectfully, "Master Samer, you have come just in time. ”
Zacquero, who used to be and now Samal, squinted his eyes, he liked the feeling of respect, and smiled: "Is there anything I can help with?" ”
"Of course, Master Disentas is capturing a frost dragon in the northern dragonbone hills, and to be honest, I'm a little uneasy. It would be great if you could go and help. ”
"Frost Dragon? It's Iona, no problem, I'll make her our companion. Samael smiled coldly.
He didn't stop either, and he was eager to prove his strength just after joining the Dark Legion, and he saluted Bucklet, climbed onto the back of a gargoyle, and flew towards the keel hills. (To be continued......)
