Chapter 361: Red Dragon Castle
Red Dragon Fort, the capital of the Holy Helmet Kingdom, thousands of years ago, there was a red dragon raging in the city, was killed by an unknown hero, and the head of the giant dragon was hung above the city gate, and the capital was named after it.
In the early morning, when the sun was barely half showing its face on the horizon, a rapid sound of horses' hooves woke the inhabitants of the Red Dragon Castle from their slumber.
In the wide streets of the capital, a knight dressed as a messenger in the army galloped all the way to the Executive Yuan next to the palace.
After a while, a number of messengers rushed out of the Executive Yuan and rushed to the palaces of various military and political officials in the capital.
Soon, the entire Red Dragon Castle was awakened.
A messenger entered the palace to report to His Majesty the Great King the good news from the western front.
King Lucio III, who was in his sixties and had a light sleep, had already woken up and was enjoying a morning breakfast with Queen Count Catarina under the small parterre on the spacious zenith balcony of the castle.
"I don't know how the battle is going on the western front?" The king was worried about state affairs, and his brow was furrowed.
"Everything will be fine." The queen spoke softly, and she was a kind old woman.
While chatting, a court attendant stepped forward and whispered in the king's ear: "Your Majesty, there is news in the Wusu River military camp. ”
Then he handed over a letter stamped with the mark of fire clay.
"Okay? Is it bad? The king was so frightened that he did not dare to open the letter in his hand. If it's good, it's very good. If it's bad, then the dark army is pressing all the way in, and he has to move the capital and run away immediately.
"The envelope has the mark of Marshal Overford, which should be good news." The squire reminded.
When the king saw that it was so, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, no matter what, the marshal was still alive. Optimus Prime of the Helmet Kingdom is still standing, so no matter how bad the situation is, it can't get much worse.
He opened the letter, pulled out the envelope and read it carefully.
'A great victory over the Wusu River. More than 50,000 soldiers of the Dark Legion were all annihilated, killing the enemy commander Flame Demon Avdillon and Bone Dragon Philon. Phinesar, the lich, none of the dark generals survived! It is estimated that within ten years, the Demon Lord who borders me in the Dark Realm will be devastated! ’
Just looking at the beginning of an envelope, Lucio III's hand began to tremble violently, and he couldn't grasp the envelope in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a 'click'.
"Your Majesty?" The queen was frightened by the terrible appearance of the king who was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage.
The king ignored her and shouted to the guards: "Pick up the letter!" Pick it up! Don't get dirty, I'm going to watch it again! ”
The attendant hurriedly knelt on the ground and picked up the letter. Unfold it and hold it above your head for the king to read.
The king did not miss a word, and looked at the detailed battle report on the back of the envelope, which was quite long, with more than 10,000 words, but the king did not get tired of it, and read it again and again. It took three times before he put the letter on the table. Sighing contentedly: "It's dangerous! That's nice! God bless my country! ”
He handed the letter to the queen and said, "Look at it, and see that Ofer has lived up to my expectations!" I read him right! Okay, good! ”
The attendant immediately knelt before the queen and showed her the letter.
When the queen saw this, her face was also full of joy. With a relaxed expression, his eyebrows fluttered and said, "Your Majesty, you can always sleep peacefully now." ”
"yes, yes, yes." Lucio was overjoyed, if it weren't for his age. He wanted to jump up and jump around a few times.
After a while, Duke Dasit, the left minister of the kingdom, and the envoys sent by the various lords of the kingdom to the capital came to visit the palace one by one.
The king was in the mood for a great feast at the palace tonight, and immediately said, "Come, there is a great feast in the palace tonight!" ”
The queen immediately stopped: "Your Majesty, wait." ”
"What else?" The king asked.
The queen said seriously: "The hero has not returned yet, and it seems too early to celebrate." At this time, a little celebration is enough, but the real state banquet should be cautious. ”
The front-line army has established such a great cause, even if there is a big banquet, the first person to be invited to the banquet is the hero of the great victory here, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that no ideas will be born.
The king thought about it and immediately nodded: "You are right. In this way, the matter slowed down. Ruthie, you go and call the princess. ”
"Yes." The squire Rousey took the order and left.
After more than half an hour, a female knight wearing a fiery red waistcoat and breeches, riding boots with spurs on her feet, and a knight's hat on her head walked up under the guidance of the guard Lussi.
When she got closer, the female knight took off her hat, revealing her long, burgundy hair, bowed her head and saluted, "Father." ”
Looking at his daughter's ruddy face with beads of sweat, the king said dotingly: "So early in the morning, you went to practice equestrianism again?" ”
"Hmm. The white-wildebeest was very rebellious, and it took a lot of effort to tame it. The knightess laughed and said she was the only descendant of the king, Princess Toria.
Originally, King Lucio had three sons and one daughter, but unfortunately the eldest son and the second son were killed on the battlefield, and the third son died halfway, so the king's family left Princess Toria alone.
Because of this, despite the continuous wars, the support rate of the people of the Holy Helmet Kingdom is still extremely high.
Let's get to the point.
The king commanded, "The battle on the front line has been decided, and the victory has been won, and those undead demons have been driven back to the dark realms. As an envoy, you go to the Wusu River and welcome the heroes of this war back to the capital, and I will reward them well! ”
The queen followed up and added: "Also, Your Majesty, you see that this mage named Russell is so powerful, and he is seriously injured, you must invite him over to treat him well." We can't chill his heart. ”
Wang Guogong nodded again and again: "Yes, your mother is right." Be sure to bring this magician over. ”
The princess's face was also full of joy, and she bowed and said, "Yes, the daughter will not disappoint her father and mother." ”
……
On the banks of the Wusu River.
At this time, several days had passed since the end of the battle, and the Terran army was resting by the river.
In the Wusu River, the effect of the seventh-level ice spell that the Dark Legion had painstakingly prepared for a long time had completely disappeared, and the thick ice on the surface of the Wusu River had melted away, returning to the magnificent scene of the torrent rushing in the past.
The Wizard's Heights on the banks of the river.
Sun Ran changed out of the legion commander's suit, wore ordinary clothes, and sat on the wooden board of the sentry casually, directing the magicians to continue to perfect the magic array on the high ground.
At that time, the time was in a hurry, and I didn't know when the Dark Legion of the Dark Dao would attack, so the Solar Circle on the high ground was not perfect, it didn't have any defensive function, and it was really a bit risky to use it in a hurry during the battle.
At this time, he has already won a big victory, there is a lot of time, and Sun Ran's performance is outstanding, but the magician is very mysterious in the hearts of ordinary people, and no one can easily disturb him, so he can just perfect the magic array.
After sitting for a while, Ruiya came over, holding a food box in her hand, and said gently, "My lord, it's time for you to eat." ”
"Oh, thank you." Sun Ran took the food box and opened it, and inside was the delicious broth and fragrant bread that had been carefully cooked.
He took out the bread and threw one to Eddie and Orlando and the others on the side, then brought out the broth and said boldly: "Come on, come on, let's eat together, eat together, Ruiya's craftsmanship is very good, and it is very delicious." ”
Orlando ran over, took a careful look at Ruiya, and saw her embarrassed appearance, so he sat next to Sun Ran, and while eating, he joked to Sun Ran: "Russell, you really don't understand the amorous feelings, Ruiya specially made it for you, why did you give it to everyone?" ”
"Ah~" Sun Ran scratched his head, looked inexplicable, turned his head and asked Ruiya 'stupidly': "Really?" ”
Ruiya's face turned red, and she said calmly: "What's the matter, it was originally eaten by everyone." ”
The surrounding magicians laughed, and Eddie smiled, "Russell is only sixteen years old. When I was at the academy, I always saw him studying magic, and he didn't do anything else. He hasn't figured out the things between men and women yet. ”
After a thrilling battle together, and finally won, the little gap between them has long since disappeared.
"What's the matter?" Sun Ran looked confused, with an expression that he didn't understand what everyone was talking about, pretending to be a young man who didn't know anything about the world, and he laughed again.
"What are you all thinking! Don't teach bad kids. I just saw that the corps commander was injured, and I would make up for him! Rhea crossed her waist and blushed and angrily rebuked everyone's obscene thoughts.
A casual laugh, after eating, began to transform the magic array again.
The plan of the magicians is to use this high ground as a fortress against demons, a legendary fortress that only needs seven four-star magicians to unleash seventh-level solar magic!
With Sun Ran's guidance, all the magicians also did their best, and after more than a week, a perfect Solar Magic Array was built.
There was nothing to do here, Sun Ran only stayed for one more day, and a carriage from Sky City came to greet him.
The coachman got out of the carriage and said respectfully: "Lord Russell, the war is over, the consul asked me to pick you up and take you back to Sky City to report on your work, and Dean Hoffman also hopes that you can rush back as soon as possible." ”
Dean Hoffman's thoughts were nothing more than asking him not to waste his studies and spend more time studying magic, Sun Ran naturally had no opinion, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he got in the carriage and left. (To be continued......)
