Chapter 436: Duchy of Dans
Emily sat at the head of the council chamber, her purple eyes sweeping over everyone in front of her, a wave of ambition filling her chest, and her beautiful face was full of excitement and excitement.
There are six major families in Congatro, and she already has the support of two of them.
The Scales Guard was also very useful, and with the support of the wizards of Wezeland, an army of five thousand centaurs, this force was enough to sweep through Congatro, and Emily did not think that there was a possibility of defeat.
Duke Fischer secretly rejoiced that he was on the winner's side.
Prince Pedro's expression relied on calmness, he had been planning for years, and he couldn't be too happy until he avenged his sister.
Valrogan took out a map of Congatro and spread it out on the table, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, our next plan is to attack Stormfury Castle, which is the route of the march. ”
He pointed to a marker on the map, located on the southeast coast of Congatro.
The territory of the Duchy of Lauberdir is long and narrow from north to south, bordering the two families of Fisher and Morth to the west, and separated from the royal capital Kingsling to the north by a dangerous alpine forest, which is difficult for ordinary people to pass.
Valogen pointed to the route and explained in detail: "Along the way, we have to conquer three vassal territories belonging to the Lauberdir family, which is not difficult, and it will not take much time. ”
"The terrain of Stormfury Fort is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the army cannot be fully spread, so it can only be attacked by elite legions. ”
With that, he glanced at Wren.
Obviously, this task is to be entrusted to the Extreme Warband and the Knights of the Spear Wing.
Standing next to him, Grevom wanted to take the initiative to ask for help, but when he saw Valogan's movements, he couldn't help but feel his heart sink, and finally realized that in the eyes of Her Majesty the Queen and Lord Valogan, it seemed that the strength of that Extreme Warband was far stronger than that of the Scale Guard.
He is not a fool without brains, and he can be recognized by the dragon lord and all the adults, and there will never be a fake.
Grevom pressed the provocative mind, and at the same time was full of anticipation, and said in his heart: "Extreme Warband...... I must see what kind of warriors they are!"
"Windfury Castle, like Rushing Castle, is protected by a Storm Rune Circle. Valrogan said, "This circle is very cleverly arranged, taking advantage of the perennial storm around it, introducing it into the castle, not only can it be maintained with a small amount of soul power, but it also has excellent defense, and it can also unleash unrivaled wind spells, including at least four different spells." ”
"The dangerous terrain and spells make it difficult to break through the Stormfury Castle!"
After Valrogan finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the council hall were a little solemn, and then their eyes focused on Wren.
In the absence of the two Speakers of Wezeland, Wren was in charge.
"Just give it to us. Wren said indifferently, "The wizard of Wezeland came to Congartro to do what we do best. ”
Emily breathed a sigh of relief, and her face beamed with joy.
In the past three thousand years, Kangatro has ruled so steadily, because of the existence of the rune arrays of the major families, it is difficult to break through with only the transcendent legions.
Even if you try your best to capture the castle, you will have to pay a heavy price.
The arrival of the Wezeland Wizard upset the balance of attack and defense, making the war easier, and holding the castle without leaving is no longer a safe retreat.
"Great!"
Duke Fischer exclaimed, and half-truthfully laughed at himself: "The wizarding group led by the two speakers, I have already learned their strength, and I also want to show the Lauberdir family." ”
The crowd in the chamber burst into good-natured laughter.
After the deliberations, Emilys announced that the army would leave tomorrow, and then ended the meeting.
In the afternoon, Wren and Emilys rested on the balcony of Rush, drinking the best afternoon tea the Fisher family had ever served, overlooking the barracks outside the castle.
Emilys looked through the battle plan over and over again, her expression very focused, only occasionally raising her head and showing a shallow smile at Wren.
Wren was relaxed.
He half-squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep, opened the interface of his mobile phone in his field of vision, wandered around the library, and efficiently absorbed a lot of knowledge, and the multi-core chip was also analyzing spells and studying spell-casting techniques.
He and Emilys weren't the only ones on the balcony.
Emilys had two scaly guards standing on her side, Grevom and Minasan, who had been following the dragon lord since they came beyond Rushing Castle. There is also a legendary scaly blood guard, Dario, with a guard of ten high-ranking blood guards, scattered around the balcony and room.
Emily trusted them so much that she didn't shy away from anything.
After half a day of getting along, the Scaly Bloodguard already knew Wren's status in Emilys's eyes, as well as the relationship between the two, and the hostility had been eliminated a lot.
But their curiosity about Wren is even stronger.
Wren was half-lying on the chair, and he could feel the gaze of the two legendary blood guards with his eyes closed, sweeping over him from time to time, one of which was extremely strong, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it was Grewerm.
"This guy ......"
Wren smiled to himself, Grewerm had heard from Emilys that he was only a legendary beginner wizard, and he wanted to challenge him.
These scale-controlled blood guards have been cultivated in secret since childhood, and they have not had much contact with the outside world, so they have developed a proud and complacent character, and their vision is also very limited. Kangatro's transcendent system is not high except for the Dragonborn Apostles, but in the eyes of the Scaly Guard, Congatro is the world.
If you don't teach them a lesson, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss.
Wren thought so, and suddenly heard a footstep, judging by the frequency and severity of the footsteps, he already knew who was coming.
"Your Majesty, Lord Count. ”
Ding Laji was released by the Scales and Blood Guard, and walked up to the balcony to salute.
Emilys raised her hand and told him to sit down. She trusted this demon sorcerer who had followed her for many years, and she was also extremely good as her own think tank, so she always maintained enough respect for him.
Wren also sat up straight, looking at the deformed dwarf.
"Your Majesty," Din Raj was silent for a moment before speaking, "I want to go back to Rock Lion City." Judging from his tangled expression, it was obvious that this decision was not easy for him, and he thought about it for a long time before saying it.
Both Emily and Wren looked surprised.
Located on the west bank of Congatro, Rock Lion City is the second largest city after the royal capital Kingsland, and is naturally the core territory of the Danse family.
Din Raj was born in the Danse family, and rarely mentioned the reason why he left the family, and it can be guessed from a few words that he did not have a good life in the family, and it can even be said that he suffered a lot of humiliation, which made him hate the family, and the father and son turned against each other, like enemies.
For many years, Din Raj had never thought of going back, but now he suddenly proposed it, which is surprising. 12345
"What do you think?" asked Emily softly.
Ding Laji thought for a moment and said, "Before His Majesty's return, the six major families of Congartro were divided into two camps for many years. Led by Marque, the Brandons and Etis were his most loyal allies, and they controlled the north-central part of Congartaro, accounting for two-thirds of the total area. ”
"On the other side, led by the Danse family, they allied themselves with the Morse family and the Fisher family, but the relationship between the three families was not stable, and they only came together to join forces against Marke. ”
"Now that the Fisher family and the Morth family have pledged their allegiance to His Majesty, if we can win the support of the Danse family......"
He stopped at this point, and the meaning was obvious.
Emily nodded slightly, but did not respond immediately.
In her plans, she never considered the Dans as potential allies, and the Duke of Dans betrayed the Drogonburg family and defected at the most critical time, deceiving the royal guards to open the gates, leading to the fall of the Dragonborn dynasty.
If Marc is the number one enemy of the Drogon Castle family, then Duke Danse is second.
Sensing Emilys's hesitation, Din Raj continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, I know your hatred for Duke Dans, but for the sake of the great cause of the country, it is worth letting go of the hatred for the time being. ”
"The Golden Lions of the Danse family are not only numerous, but also have the most sophisticated enchanted equipment in Congartro, and their strength is no less than that of the Giant Deer Legion. It would be extremely disadvantageous for us to push the Dans family to Mark's side. ”
"The hatred of the past can be liquidated after His Majesty ascends the throne. ”
Emilys' expression faltered slightly.
Valrogan has been collecting information from the major families, and the Morth family is also secretly helping, and she is well aware of the power of the Dans family.
The Duke has been in business for many years, using the position of the former Prime Minister to grab benefits for the family, and over the years, the strength of the Golden Lion Regiment has become stronger and stronger.
King Marc also gradually sensed the threat.
He raised an army against the Danse family, not only to wash away the shame, but also to use the theme to play an attempt to destroy this enemy that threatened his ruling kingdom, but it was not successful.
Emily hesitated, and suddenly looked at Wren.
"We're strong enough. Wren thought for a moment and said: "However, the more allies the better, and the greatest significance of Duke Dans's support to us is not their joining, but the support that the weakened Marc may receive." ”
"You don't need to let them join the Danse family, just stay neutral. ”
Ding Laji slapped his palm, feeling like he had found a confidant, and said loudly: "What Lord Earl said is very true, and I also have this idea. ”
Wren laughed, "The final decision is up to you." ”
Emilys was silent for a long time, but she still couldn't get over her knot, and Dinraghi's identity also made her doubt the other party's original intentions.
"How sure are you that you will be able to convince Duke Danse?" she asked earnestly.
"Uh......"
Ding Laji scratched his hair that looked like a bird's nest, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said embarrassedly: "I can only fight for it, and I dare not guarantee His Majesty." ”
"Hmph!" Emily suddenly understood that Din Laj's motives were selfish.
He was afraid that after he eliminated Malke, his next target would be the Danse family, and he would kill all the enemies of the past, and with his current strength, it was not impossible.
So Din Laj wants to get ahead of the curve and let the Dans family show goodwill.
"I'm afraid you're just making your own thoughts, with Duke Dans's temper, how can you be loyal to me if you don't even pay attention to Marke? Emily shook her head disappetively and sneered, "If you dare to go back to Rock Lion City to show up, it is unknown whether you will come out alive." ”
Din Raj did not refute, as the son of Duke Dans, he could not have been more aware of his father's thoughts.
He let out a long sigh, "Your Majesty, I still want to try." ”
Emilys stared at him for a long time, but Dingraj did not dodge, but looked directly into her gaze, his mind was open, and his will did not waver in the slightest.
"Okay. Emilys finally agreed, "For the sake of your years of following me, I can give the Danse family a chance." ”
Ding Laji looked moved, stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait. As soon as Emilys spoke, Dinkraj stopped, a hint of cunning on his face, "Your Majesty, please send someone to protect me and return to Rock Lion City together." I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I will not be able to come back and continue to serve Your Majesty, and it will be the greatest regret of my life if I do not see you ascend to the Iron Throne. ”
Emily laughed and looked at the Scaly Guards behind her, considering sending a team of Bloodguards to follow Din Raj.
"I'll go with you. Wren's voice rang out.
"Wren?"
"Lord Earl!"
Emilys was very surprised, but Dinkraj was overjoyed, if he wanted to find someone to protect him and return to Rock Lion City, the best person in his mind was Wren, who was more reliable than the two unfamiliar Speakers of Wezeland.
Wren smiled: "Anyway, it's okay to be idle, I'll go home with you and see the demeanor of the Duke of Dans, who is known as the 'Lion King'." ”
"Since Wren is going, it couldn't be better. Emily had no objection.
Ding Laj nodded repeatedly.
Wren called Borch, opened a portal and walked in.
The six-ring portal of the Ethereal Gate can be used five times a day, a hundred miles at a time, and a maximum of five hundred miles in a short period of time, which is not enough to directly reach Rock Lion City, but can only reach the territory of the Duchy of Morth.
So Wren only used a portal to make Borch manifest as a dragon, carrying him and Dinkraj into the sky.
All the way to the north, the golden three-headed dragon passed through the Duchy of Morth and entered the Duchy of Danse in only half a day.
This territory in the west of Congatros, half hilly and half fertile plains, Wren can clearly feel the change from above, it is more densely populated, dotted with towns, and the climate is still cold, but the conditions are much better than in other places, especially the westernmost plains are more livable.
In fact, the Duchy of Danse is the richest territory in Congartro, and there are a large number of gold mines hidden within the territory, producing 70% of the kingdom's gold!
Wren wanted to have a chat with Dinkraghi, but found that he became reticent, and the closer he got to his hometown, the more complicated his expression became.
As night falls, a city made of rock appears on the horizon, and the city of rock lions arrives.
