Chapter 914: Enemy?
Roddy didn't rush to answer, but beckoned to Sally on top of the tower, who had landed from the top of the tower to the ground with Edith's help. When he saw the artifact scepter in the hands of the Duke of Evta, Roddy's weight in the hearts of several lords increased again.
"Sally Roussifron, Duke of Evta, have met your lords. β
She greeted politely, but her posture was neither humble nor arrogant. After that, he didn't say much, but stood beside Roddy as a witness to what was destined to be an epic moment.
"Thank you, lords, but I think the situation in the Karen Kingdom can be put aside for now, because Evta already has a very detailed plan for the future, and the important thing now is... As a human force, I hope to establish an alliance system with the dragons to watch and help each other, so as to ensure that neither side will be attacked by demons, and now everyone has seen the evil consequences of demon invasion, if I can't make amends, I am afraid that the future will be even greater. β
Luo Di's answer was obviously unexpected by the lords, who thought that "unifying the kingdom of Karen" would be enough for the prime minister to be busy for a while, but they simply skipped a sentence, as if they didn't look down on such a result at all, and instead raised their vision to the safety of the mainland.
He didn't say that he represented the human forces of the whole continent, but he faintly claimed to be the head of the human forces. Importantly, Roddy possesses the ability to "find and identify rifts in space-time", which is something that dragons are in short supply and value. This makes Roddy's status invisibly transcendent, and now it is not just as simple as "being on an equal footing" with other dragons.
However, the lords did not feel that there was anything wrong with this, they looked at each other, and then agreed very happily.
"In the past, I thought that the alliance with humans was dispensable, but now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid that many places will need your help in the future. β
Pukatos was actually the lord who had the least contact with Roddy, but he was also more direct: "Don't forget that you promised us the 'rift in spacetime'. β
"Naturally, I'm going to keep my promises about these things. β
Roddy smiledβhe had discovered this ability on the way to the Temple, and he had gained "Time and Space Acumen", and after leaving the "Time and Space Prison", he didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect that this inconspicuous skill would eventually become a key factor in changing the entire battle situation.
When he realized that something was wrong with some space-time rifts, Lord Morals's reaction made Rodi confirm his judgment: even dragons would be unknowingly changed by demons.
It all seems to be laid out lightly, but in fact it is full of danger. If Morals had been more deeply invaded, perhaps he would have killed him directly when he met with Roddy - fortunately, this spiritual invasion was not completely "controlled", so Roddy could immediately contact other dragons to help with the layout after he was shocked... And if he wants to convince the dragon clan as a human, of course, he can't do it by virtue of eloquence, and he promises to find at least three safe "space-time rifts" for each lord, which is his condition.
Now that the dust has settled, when Quiao is deprived of the status of "leader of the dragon family", the obstacles in front of Roddy are basically completely gone, so he naturally wants to take this opportunity to delineate a new situation.
"I hope that Evta's cooperation with the dragons will be all-encompassing, because only in this way will we have more advantages in the battle against demons in the future. However, it is obviously not appropriate to talk about this in detail at this time, especially since I want both the Green Dragons and the Red Dragons to participate, but Morals and Lord Quio..."
Roddy looked at the two of them as he spoke, and Kruffs next to him immediately said, "Before confirming that the demon's influence is gone, I don't think Quiao nor Morals should exercise any decision-making power within the clan." β
"I agree. β
Victor nodded, and Pukatos didn't have an opinion, but just asked, "Then what now?" These young dragon legions and green dragons of the red dragon also need to be monitored, Morals is more seriously affected, and her people may also be affected. β
With that, he glanced around, and the subdued members of the red dragon and green dragon around him were staring at this side.
"I have a suggestion. β
It was still Roddy who broke the silence: "The meeting will be held in the Imperial City in a week, and I will set up a venue there to ensure the smooth flow of the meeting." This week, I will also specifically investigate whether there are any traces of demonic invasion within the Ivota forces. β
He was clearly talking about his own arrangement, but in fact, he was also reminding the other dragons to conduct an "internal self-examination", and of course these lords could hear the meaning of the words, and after thinking about it, they all agreed. Pukatos was a little strange: "It's still some distance from the Imperial City, can your army take the Imperial City in a week?"
As he spoke, Krups suddenly turned his head to look at the other side, at this moment everyone was in the realm of illusion he had created, and all Roddy and the others could see was boundless white. But with a wave of the crystal dragon lord's hand, a blue figure suddenly appeared above the white sky - Kardashian, who had been hovering around the battlefield for a long time, finally entered everyone's field of vision.
She had actually arrived at the outskirts of the battlefield long ago, and hid with a hidden breath. At this moment, he appeared and pretended to have just arrived here. After falling around everyone, she first greeted several other lords, and then said bluntly: "Evta's fleet suddenly appeared in the port of the Imperial City, and the resistance of Charles II's guards was ineffective, and now the entire Imperial City has been controlled by Ivta. I don't know what to do in this situation, father... Is there anything I need to do?"
Kardashian's acting skills are really good, she didn't look at Roddy from beginning to end, and she looked like she was looking to report to Victor. However, her words answered Pukatos's question just now, and the latter looked surprised when he heard this: "This is taken?
"Charles II's forces are concentrated in the city of Enrique, and my fleet and airborne troops will naturally not let go of this opportunity. β
Roddy first pretended to be unfamiliar with Kardashian, nodded at her coldly, and then calmly answered the Black Dragon Lord's question.
Although the lords were silent, Kardashian appeared at the right time with this message, but they had to reassess Roddy's strength - at any time, the right to speak is determined by strength. Charles II, who can only be regarded as a vassal of the dragon family, is really a waste compared to Roddy at the moment.
"The date of the meeting will be tentatively set for a week, so let's sort out the battlefield first. Victor set his tone and looked at the Crystal Dragon Lord: "Krups, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you." β
The current illusion has the effect of time and space isolation, so it can reduce the mental erosion effect of Quiao and Morals a little, but the continuous release of this enchantment is not a small burden for Krups, and he smiled bitterly: "Then I guess I can only guard here." β
Luo Di raised his hand and pointed to the magic tower behind him: "The magic tower in Helsinki also has a space-time magic circle, I think you lords can try it." If you can, it might be more appropriate to leave this task to the Arcanist Edith to solve. β
"Oh, I forgot about the high elves. β
Pukatos raised his eyebrows, and then looked at Quio with a depressed face: "To ensure your safety, Quio, I think it's better to stay in the magic tower than to be locked in this enchantment, isn't it?"
"I have no objection. β
At this time, Quiao has long since lost his previous strength, even if he has a clear mind, but because of the "history" of the demonic invasion, any objection at this time is estimated to be suspected, so he simply stopped raising objections.
Krups and Victor looked at each other, and they also thought that this solution was feasible. Luo Di is now an ally of the same camp as them, and even if he thinks of any bad intentions, he can't compete with the other three dragon clans. On top of that, it's not appropriate to imprison the two lords under the power of any one of the other dragons, and having a "third-party prison" happens to be the best option.
"Then let's ask Prime Minister Roddy to arrange it, and we will now enter the magic tower to confirm the effect. β
With consensus, the subsequent actions are much faster. Locked in the spherical barrier, Morars and Quiao were controlled by the three lords and floated into the magic tower. Edith closed the two of them in the nineteenth floor of the "prison" and divided the circular area in half, allowing the two lords to have plenty of room to move.
Morals is more confined because no one is sure if she will be "transformed" again by the demon's invasion, while Quiao is much more decent, with no confinement and a basic table, chair and bed in the room. He knew that it was good for him to end up like this, so he always lowered his eyebrows and cooperated with his eyes, without half a word of nonsense.
Here, Krups closes the illusion barrier outside, and Pukatos and Victor re-use the circle to determine the state of Quiao and Moralsβit turns out that the space-time isolation here is much better, and the demon's influence on the two is much less than before.
But the problem is that the effect has never completely disappeared.
"We don't expect the problem to be solved right away, and being able to control the situation at the moment is the best option. β
Victor glanced at his daughter who was standing aside with her head bowed slightly, and then swept around: "It's not time to be idle, and the surrounding young dragons and green dragon and red dragon members must be tested one by one, and they must ensure that there are no members of the demon invasion." β
This matter could not wait, the three lords each planned to start the test, but before they could get out of the magic tower, there was an alarm on the position of the Ivota . Roddy and Sally paused for a moment, then turned to Edith, who narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said, "There is an enemy approaching in the southeast. β
"Enemies?"
The three dragon lords glanced at each other - what enemies were there at such times?
