May 10th.

While the situation in the Kingdom of Karen is turned upside down, the people near the Imperial City are still unknown because of the slow transmission.

Charles II and the nobles didn't talk about it, and the dragons in the dragon tower didn't know about it either—because even the red dragons didn't participate in the first phase of the battle against the temple. Iskar had to stay in the Dragon Tower after his engagement, because Quiao meant to let him "get acquainted" with the Princess Rowling first, but in fact every time Princess Rowling visited the Dragon Tower at the behest of Charles II, he left under the pretext of an excuse, apparently to express his displeasure.

But for the elders on both sides, this kind of thing is harmless at all, the lord and the king have already decided, where is there room for them to bargain?

Iskar and Rowling are indeed the same kind of people when it comes to this kind of thing. But this commonality does not resonate with them, on the contrary, now Rowling feels embarrassed every time she comes to the Dragon Tower... Because not only did she not see Iskar, but she couldn't even meet the "mentors" of the other dragons.

Although the princess came and smiled every time, no one knew about the grievances and sorrows in her heart.

However, she was a little surprised when she came to the Dragon Tower today, because when Rowling knocked on the door to enter the laboratory where Iskar was, there was a real answer from inside: "Come in." ”

She was stunned for a moment when she turned around and left after knocking on the door, Rowling took a deep breath nervously, and then reached out and pushed it open - the door opened, and a handsome face came into view, and I had to admit that the charm of the dragon clan after turning into a human form was really difficult for ordinary humans to resist. However, Rowling knew that the person in front of her was not Iskar.

The latter was an old man with a hunched back, who looked really old, but the gorgeous silver robe clearly showed that he was not low. Rowling felt that he was a little familiar, and was stunned for two seconds before reacting: "Hello, Lord Krups!"

This is the lord of the crystal dragon, and the status is similar to that of Quee. Rowling couldn't help but say hello cautiously, but the latter obviously didn't care about this, and he directly retorted, "Are you looking for Iskar?" ”

Such an answer was what Rowling expected, and she showed a formulaic smile: "Ah, since I'm not here, then I'll go back first." Lord Krups. ”

She wasn't in a position to ask why the other party was here, and the latter didn't bother to say anything to her. Rowling exhaled as she exited the room, and walked down the tower—unbeknownst to her, this was the first time since the Tower had been completed that any other Dragon Lord had been willing to enter the tower.

In Iskar's laboratory, Krups didn't wait long in front of the window when a vine came out of the window. Then the flowers at the top of the vine bloomed, and a faint halo flashed, turning into a green figure in the blink of an eye—the Green Dragon Lord Morars also appeared.

"I really don't understand why the two of us are here to talk. ”

Krups got straight to the point, shook his head and sighed, "Are you trying to remind me of something?"

The Green Dragon Lord is a woman, not tall after taking on a human form, and her clothes are woven like leaves. Her eyes always seemed to have a layer of fog hanging over the surface, and she replied in a low voice to Krups's question, "I'm here today to explain the situation to Iskar - the Green Dragons can't find anyone to continue to serve as a mentor here for the time being due to internal matters. ”

Her words made Krups raise his eyelids, "Then what are you telling me to do? ”

Krups knew that the other party was tempting, but he was reluctant to take a position lightly. At this point, the crystal dragon is similar to the ice dragon lord Victor, and as a lord, he has to consider more meaning behind this in his heart.

However, the Green Dragon Lord didn't have so many worries, and replied happily: "You and I both know that the current situation of being guided by the Red Dragon Clan is not realistic, and for tens of thousands of years, there has never been anyone who really leads whom. Superficial harmony does not mean deep unity. The Shadow Dragons are gone, and who knows who will be the next to be attacked by the horde?"

"As long as you don't betray this world, no one will be attacked by a horde. ”

Krups's answer was very tactful, and he did not deny the first half of the other party's words. In fact, it has already been said that it secretly agrees with such a view.

Morals continued, unaware: "The rift is important, but I don't think this situation can be sustained if Quiao only uses the rift as a means of unity. Either the enemy will appear soon, or it will be the most suitable situation for the dragons, or they will go their own way. ”

"Are you going to quit completely, aren't you afraid that Queo will use this to suppress you?"

"So I've come to talk to you, and here I am. Morars was still like a dream, and his tone was calm and emotionless: "I've looked for Victor, I've looked for Pukatos, but apparently none of them intend to reveal their intentions until they see the actual action. ”

After all, there was a hint of mockery in her words: "So, I'd like to see... When I choose to be on the opposite side, will you treat me the same way you treat me with the Shadow Dragons? ”

Krups frowned slightly: "In that case, why did you agree in the first place?"

In response to this question, the Green Dragon Lord happily admitted, "Maybe it's because I've been in the forest for too long and don't realize the power of the human race. When I realized what kind of influence it would bring to the dragons, I made the choice now. ”

This answer is not unexpected. In fact, after the dragon lords came to the human world, although they still didn't take these ants seriously, more contact also made them gradually change their views on human beings - in fact, more reasons are Luo Di's shocking actions: he has closed the door of demons, and he has killed the ancient giant beasts, and the dragon clan usually has a headache to solve, as if it has been solved by human intervention all at once.

Once it's a coincidence, and twice it makes people think, and when they learn how the undead and orcs have been defeated, they can't help but re-examine these ants in their hearts.

Krups was silent for a few seconds, then spoke up, "Still... An opportunity is needed. ”

This means that he doesn't agree with it for the time being, but he has this tendency in his heart. As for what the opportunity was, Morals didn't ask, she didn't speak anymore, and Krups tacitly didn't say much, walked to the window, and disappeared silently from the green dragon's field of vision.

On the same day, the Green Dragon Clan announced its retirement from the position of teaching consultant of the Dragon Tower due to "internal reasons". The Crystal Dragon, Ice Dragon, Black Dragon, and Red Dragon all expressed their regret and said that they would wait for Lord Morals to take care of the affairs of the clan and rejoin the alliance between dragons and humans.

And by this time, the dragons who were thinking about each other in the imperial city still did not have any battle reports on the front line. The difference is that Charles II received a message from his intelligence insider: "There is a new movement in the Temple, and it is making every effort to shrink its defense and prepare for war." ”

This is the news that Charles II has wanted to see the most in the past few days - he is not afraid of Ivota resisting, but afraid that the other party has not moved. This is like a sword duel, before the opponent's sword strikes, he always has to consider the defensive posture, and once the opponent makes an attack move, the subsequent attack route is basically established.

Of course, countless wars have learned their lessons: swordsmanship may be varied, but the methods of warfare in the current era are very limited. Since you want to defend, you have to seize the time to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, whether it is the process of food hoarding or the process of clearing the field, you must start interfering as soon as possible.

What is revealed behind this news is the inefficiency of Ivota - it is only now that they think of defense, why did they go earlier? If you combine the news from the cabinet, Charles II estimates that the other side must have been busy dealing with internal strife all along, and completely ignored foreign military operations.

"In that case, it's time to speed up the pace across the board..."

He couldn't wait to write to Harrison immediately, asking him to start and harass him on the periphery without waiting for the assembly to be completed. At the same time, it is also necessary for all nearby territories to immediately expedite the transportation of grain to the city of Layena in Bergen's territory. Because it is a major hub on the south bank of the Bordeaux River, it can be called a military town.

However, Charles II, who dreamed of unification on the map, did not know that the news he received was actually "false information" that Nora asked Jonathan to rewrite.

And the Earl of Harrison was already crouching in the dungeon of Suwara City by this time. The city in which it is located has become the first line of defense for Evta's expansion through the Temple.

By the time the letter was sent, the Evta Infantry Division, which had marched out from Suvara and Donkel, had once again advanced thirty kilometers, and had not only taken all the towns along its way, but also routed two groups of noble armies that were unaware of the fact that they were gathering at the predetermined places, totaling more than three thousand men.

At the same time, Elson City began to use all its production capacity on the production of "trucks", because Kardashian and the high-level mages of the research department put into the production line, and the output changed from one in two days to three per day in an instant. As soon as each truck got off the line, it drove directly from the road to Parling, pulled up the infantry division reserve that was ready to go, and began to transport it towards the temple without stopping.

The cost of charging hedrons has suddenly reached an unprecedented level. However, with all kinds of resources and magic crystals transported by Rasiman, plus more than half a year's reserves, it can be said that there is still room for more.

War is about logistics, and after returning from the "prison of time and space", Luo Di implemented this sentence very thoroughly. Not to mention the various measures taken by Ivota in the past six months, in fact, the Temple City has already secretly accumulated four warehouses of grain, ostensibly to defend the city and prepare for war, but in fact, at this time, it has been continuously transported and replenished to the troops on the front line by trucks.
