Osprey City, a coastal city in the Kingdom of Fikgis.

Agen, the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Fikgis, fled to the city with his wife and daughter, as well as a group of the inhabitants of the royal city.

The first time Agen arrived in the city was to find the best therapist in the city.

His wife was attacked by the Blood Crystal Beast during the escape, and she suffered a slight injury, and the most terrifying thing was after the leyline crystal was devoured by the Blood Crystal Beast.

The inhabitants of this country have lost the shelter of the leyline core, and so has her wife... In this state of weakness, her wife fell ill with a terrible and strange disease.

"Your Highness Agen, I have only seen this strange disease in some slaves in the Far South, and my herbs can only temporarily relieve the condition and let your wife sleep temporarily." The therapist looked at the man with gray temples and said helplessly.

"I see, you take care of her here."

Agen looked at the bloodless woman lying on the bed, and he wanted to stay with his wife, but the future of the country did not allow Agen to stay here.

He came to Osprey City to attend a meeting, a meeting that could decide the future of the Kingdom of Fikgis.

After instructing his subordinates to take care of his wife, Agen quickly left the room and made his way to the council chamber of Osprey City.

The Kingdom of Fikgis is slightly different from the traditional monarchy, which is made up of seven different clans, and the king of the country... That is, the Grey Feather Clan is the Grand Patriarch who rules all the clans.

The difference between each clan is that the types of crystalline trees they cultivate are different.

The Crystallization Trees cultivated by Agen's royal clan are mainly based on magic crystals, and most of them can be used as raw materials for making wands.

The other largest clan in the country is the Iron Clan, and the fruit of the crystalline trees they cultivate produces the finest steel in the world.

The raw material for many of the Great Southern Empire's high-quality weapons was the Iron Fruit produced by the Crystal Tree of the Iron Clan.

The existence of the leyline core in the past made Agen's father... The king of Fikgis could easily command the seven clans, but now that the core of the leylines had been devoured by the Blood Crystal Beast, the Holy Crystal on the back of Agen's hand had lost its luster.

He no longer has the ability to command the Seven Great Clans, so he came to Osprey City today to discuss the future of the country with the leaders of the Seven Great Clans.

The moment Agen arrived in the Parliament... He knew that there was no future for the country.

Because he saw the golden lion-patterned flag of the Far South fluttering above the council chamber, and the soldiers of the Far South in pitch-black armor seemed to have been waiting for Agen for a long time.

Agen remembered that this meeting of the seven clans was supposed to be kept secret from Far South, but there were leakers among them, or Far South learned their secrets through some channel.

Agen stared at the soldiers of the Far Southern Empire in the chamber, he almost couldn't help but want to pounce and choke these guys' necks!

But Agen couldn't help it, he knew that if he did it now, not only his wife would be threatened, but even his daughter might be in danger.

Agen could only endure it now, and he walked into the chamber as if nothing had happened.

"Your Highness Agen! You're finally here. ”

The patriarch of the Iron Clan stepped out of the crowd and enthusiastically wanted to give Agen a hug, but his steps stopped halfway through.

Because Agen looked at him with a terrible look in his eyes, like a lion who wanted to choose a man to devour.

At this moment, Agen could see at a glance that this guy was the betrayer!

"Don't show such a terrifying expression, we are all under the glory of the Far South from today, be happy." The patriarch of the Iron Clan saw the hatred in Agen's eyes, but he didn't hesitate to stimulate Agen with words, and even walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

Traitor!

Agen wanted to open his mouth and scold the other party, but he couldn't... Also not eligible.

The Kingdom of Fikgis has been a vassal state of the Far South for almost decades, and the rule of the Far South has completely infiltrated all corners of the Kingdom of Fikgis.

Heavy taxes and all sorts of excessive demands can be endured by the Kingdom of Fikgis... But the Far Southern Empire fed the core of the leylines of the Fikgis Kingdom to that group of monsters.

From that moment on, Agen broke with the Far South Empire completely, and if he had the opportunity, he would definitely raise the banner and call on the people to resist the tyranny of the Far South Empire.

"From this day on, we are truly part of the Far Southern Empire." The patriarch of the Iron Clan led Agen to the other seven clans.

Agen glanced at the back of the patriarch's hand, the inscription on the back of his hand already marked with the imprint of the Far Southern Empire.

This means that he has completely belonged to the Far South Empire, Agen glanced at the other six major clans, and a small number of clan leaders had very ugly faces, obviously not expecting that this meeting would be known by the Far South Empire.

The outcome of the parliamentary discussions was no longer meaningful, and Agen made an excuse to leave the parliament temporarily, under the pretext of being unwell.

Fighting back his rage, he made his way to a garden at the back of the council chamber, and Agen's fist slammed into the wall beside him, so powerful that his palms were bleeding.

"That's the only choice we can make, Your Highness Agen."

A female voice rang out behind Agen, who turned around to see an old woman, the patriarch of the Limonite clan.

"The Far South has destroyed the core of our country's leylines! Those Blood Crystal Beasts didn't know how many of their compatriots had devoured in the royal city, and you just surrendered to those enemies? Agen wanted to roar, but deep down he was afraid of the Far South, and finally sat down weakly on the ground.

"Resistance leads us all to death." The voice of the patriarch of the Limonite Clan was also full of powerlessness, "Far South has mastered the ability to drive the Blood Crystal Beast, even if we unite the surrounding countries, we are not an opponent, we have now lost the core of the leyline, and we should not lose the remaining people." ”

"......" Agen ignored the patriarch of the Limonite Clan, he stood up and walked out of the area where the council was located.

There was one thing he didn't tell the patriarchs of these clans ... That is, the core of their country's leylines is not completely dead.

Before the leyline core could be devoured, an egg-like object poured into his daughter's body.

Now Agen's Crystal has lost its original luster, but his daughter's Crystal has not......

But he may have to keep this secret for now, as long as the shadow of the Far Southern Empire still exists in this world.

"I mean really, Scarray was sheltered by the gods, and the flames of Heavenly Punishment directly burned those Blood Crystal Beasts to charcoal."

As Agen walked aimlessly along the harbor of Osprey City, the chatter of the fishermen near the harbor instantly caught his attention.
