Chapter 722: Champion
Tearing Sela was held by Roddy all the way, she wasn't really seriously injured, she just looked scary. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but lying in the crook of Roddy's arms really relaxed, the blood loss and excessive consumption of magic power made her mentally exhausted, Roddy only walked a few hundred meters, and found that Merinthera was really asleep.
Noticing her steady breathing, Roddy stopped. Merinthera shouldn't have hurt like this, but action is always a truer expression than words... Looking at the dried and congealed blood on her body, Roddy carefully sat on the steps of the street, gently hugging Merin Sera, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
The October breeze was mixed with the smell of blood, and the corpses left behind after the battle could still be seen in the field of vision. In the rubble destroyed by the impact, the sleeping Mai Linsela suddenly raised her hand around Roddy's neck, as if this action made her feel more reassured. Roddy stared at the side of her face and noticed that the corners of Merinthella's mouth were slightly upturned, as if something good had happened in her dream.
He didn't speak, just changed his angle slightly, blocking out the breeze for her.
The battlefield has not completely subsided at this moment. There are still many fish people in the city who are scurrying around and hurting people, but the "offspring" is distracted by the demise of the "mother", and the collective has no combat effectiveness. And when Akasha commanded the "resurrected fish-men" to push the front all the way over, it basically meant that the "fish-men" were almost cleaned up.
Roddy stood up and cast a spell signal in the spell's illumination.
Akasha's face turned pale with fright from the action of him holding Merinthra, and after the magic was continuously released, she found that she was fine. Awakened by the movement around her, Merin Sera was not able to lie in Roddy's arms at this time, pretending that her leg was still hurting, and found an excuse to run to the side to rest. Nefi and Akasha didn't realize her abnormality, and both immediately gathered around to confirm Roddy's status.
They didn't know what happened to Roddy getting into the "mother's" body, and Roddy didn't want to tell the story now, he patted Misha, who had been following the team, and then glanced at Dorois and Evely, who were following the team, thought about it, called Akasha and Houdini and said, "There are some things that still need to be dealt with, and I will listen to my arrangement..."
Whether you want to admit it or not, the guards and mages of Duriel City have basically no structure to speak of now. Therefore, the task of "cleaning up the remaining enemies" can only be discussed by Jeremy himself with Roddy.
This kind of fact is really a big blow to the arrogant mages.
However, when it was learned that Rotica had attacked Roddy at a critical moment, the Magi of the Council were collectively silent, and several times someone wanted to ask a rhetorical question, but they didn't even have the courage to speak out.
The "Underwater Behemoth" can be leveled, and there are eight successful labors that should belong to Luo Di. So no one would think he was joking when Roddy suddenly came up with this accusation - Jeremy's usually calm face was almost as gloomy as water on the spot, and he knew that Rotica had enough motives to do so, so he immediately arranged for several prophetic magisters to go to the scene of the incident to investigate.
The "Prophecy" spell can be used to "recreate the situation" in the place where the battle has broken out, so this matter will definitely be revealed.
It stands to reason that Jeremy should use all kinds of words and clichés to fool the scene at this time, but he knows better... If he did this, then Rasiman would no longer have any prestige to speak of.
And if Luo Di is not appeased in place now, then the "charged spar", "fire bolt" or cobalt gold ore and the like will definitely not be discussed in the future!
This is the true embodiment of "eating people with short mouths and soft hands". Roddy's deterrent power to take down the ancient sea beast was at its peak at this time, and at this moment, no magus dared to despise Roddy—they all knew that after tonight, it was a sure thing that Roddy's actions would become an epic for generations to come.
Fortunately, Roddy didn't really plan to turn around. After expressing his anger, he eventually relented and offered to assist the Rasiman Council in cleaning up the city's monsters.
He then summoned the surviving soldiers and representatives of the various countries and gave Jeremy a speech to the effect that if he was willing to assist in the battle, Rasiman would give him a "war payment" at a later date. If you feel that you don't have enough energy, go and rest immediately to avoid further losses.
At such times, the envoys of various countries naturally chose to retreat. They are here to participate in the "Crown of Twilight", and no one wants to send others to death for no reason. Naturally, Roddy would not force these people, but Doroth and Evely "took the initiative" to stand up at this time, saying that they wanted to avenge their dead comrades.
After a brief hesitation, the little khan of Bindu also joined the team, and he did this mainly for the sake of better cooperation with the Karen Kingdom in the future - after all, "fighting side by side" is definitely an excellent way to promote relations between the two sides, and the soldiers of Bindu are strong, mobile, and never afraid of battle, and it is naturally a good thing to be able to brush up the prestige of the clan by the way.
Their actions also led to the participation of two small countries. Roddy briefly reorganized the army, and after discussing the plan with Jeremy, he divided them into six groups to clean up in different directions. Except for the team led by Roddy himself, the remaining five teams were assisted by one or two battle magisters.
The army quickly disappeared into the night, and by this time the members of parliament who remained on the scene were somewhat silent.
Their hearts were heavy, not only because of the unprecedented loss of the city of Durrell, but also because of the grievances of the "army in the hands of outsiders".
"This incident is a special case and it is unexpected. Increasing the number of defense forces in Durrell City will be on the agenda as soon as possible in the future," as the current councillors present at the various colleges had reached the standard, and Speaker Jeremy simply opened the meeting in this salty sea breeze," The main issue now is the opinion on the handling of the matter of Rotica's attack on Rodi's emissary. ”
"Your Excellency, the investigation is still ongoing... Are we waiting—"
"Wait, Britz, if you're the Roddy emissary, what do you think this kind of thing should be done?"
"Uh... Of course, the sooner you give an explanation, the better. ”
Without Jeremy speaking, several other lawmakers woke up Britz, who was not very sensitive to political smell. The latter scratched his head and whispered, "But this is too much of a change from our usual attitude towards him..."
"So when we stand on the ruins and discuss this issue, we still have to try to save the so-called face?"
Jeremy shook his head: "From today onwards, everything has changed. ”
In this atmosphere, the council quickly passed a vote: "Regardless of the outcome of the investigation, I would like to express my gratitude to the Kingdom of Karen with the utmost sincerity, including but not limited to various non-scarce resources, magical technology, and regulations for the employment of mages." ”
And just as the meeting was not over, a continuous explosion was heard in the distance. Apparently the cleaning mission in the city... It doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems.
The mages of the council stayed up all night, and the battle calmed down at dawn, and the constant reports of losses made their hearts even heavier, and when they heard the news that "Doureth and Everi, the messengers of the Tuk tribe, were killed in battle", Speaker Jeremy couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the emissaries of the Esca Kingdom have been wiped out in this incident, and it seems that we need to write a letter to Talia to explain the situation." ”
Naturally, the proposal was approved, and no one doubted the authenticity of the report - not to mention the characters of Dorothis and Evely, seven mages and one hundred and forty mages were killed in the war alone, which was the largest loss since the founding of the country.
But life goes on.
Looking at the rising sun slowly rising over the sea level, Jeremy thought.
.....................
Following.
Houdini experienced the war when he was young, and although he did not personally go to the front line to fight those gods, he made a great contribution to the investigation of the war as a mage of the "Prophecy" department. And after all these years of peaceful development, Houdini in the bottom of his heart... In fact, I really want to live like this forever.
It is better to be a peace dog than to leave people in chaos. The people who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood didn't want to have a similar experience again, but looking at the ruins in front of him, the helplessness and fear buried deep in his heart made Houdini sigh - most of the buildings in the southern part of the city of Durell were destroyed in the explosion, and the civilian dock was almost razed to the ground, and the only thing to be thankful for was that many of the civilians hiding in the buildings still survived, but the death toll of more than 3,000 still cast a heavy shadow on the city.
At noon, the troops urgently transferred from the surrounding area took over the temporary guard commanded by Roddy, and the "resurrected fishmen" returned to the water, and no one knew where they went. The rest of the envoys dragged their tired bodies to the hotel in the north of the city to rest. Although Houdini was also tired, looking at the devastated city, he could not sleep peacefully, and he walked on the sparsely populated streets, and his heart was a little lost.
A new guard ran by, and the guarded eyes of the soldiers swept around, and when they saw Houdini, who was covered in blood, their eyes fixed, and several of them saluted him, apparently understanding that Houdini had contributed to the defense of the city. Houdini didn't speak, watching the young men disappear into the street corner, and the negativity seemed to ease slightly,
He walked aimlessly. When you walk to the central street that runs through the north and south of the city, you can see the smashed "Colemmere" magic tower, a landmark building known as the "Eye of Truth", which has been damaged, causing the people to feel fear and confusion. Those who survived the streets were either whispering about last night's fighting or weeping over their loved ones who had died. Houdini stopped and saw that the apprentice sent by the Magic Tower was posting a notice, and went up to read it, and found that it was about the cancellation of the "Twilight Crown" for some reason.
"I've heard that a lot of people have died in the delegations of various countries..."
"Yes, the Tukh mission is completely wiped out, hey... It's a pity for those beauties. ”
"Why is this country the one who won the overall lead? Make no mistake?"
In the midst of the discussion, Houdini realized that the magic tower still counted the results of all the events so far according to the usual practice, and sent out the top three in order - among them, "Karen Kingdom" was impressively at the top of the list.
