Chapter 375: Crisis
Chapter 375: Crisis
As soon as the Black Dragon King was gone, they also knew that it was not good, and on the one hand, they sent envoys to ask the Holy Dragon King for help again, and on the other hand, they began to step up military preparations. However, this can only be done in secret, and it can't be said explicitly, if everyone knows that the Black Dragon King has abandoned them, maybe before the war starts, most of the army's morale has been lost!
It is precisely because of this that after inexplicably getting an emergency military order from the main city, although Springer immediately entered a state of combat readiness, everyone here still did not know the root of the matter.
Of course, it's just people who don't know, but not dragons, and Liarella and Hamilic know about it!
Because of his secret hatred for the Black Dragon King, the two black dragons he left behind were urged by Elena to the forefront of the war, and according to the advice of the military analysts of the city-state of St. Ferry, they were directly placed in Spring, which was most likely to be attacked by the Aragon Empire.
The two black dragons did not have any objection to this arrangement, Derkus had already explained, and if there was anything wrong, they could immediately return to the Dragon Continent. They had already calculated that once they encountered an invincible opponent, or even an opponent of similar strength, they would immediately act according to the orders of the great Black Dragon King. However, they didn't expect that the Black Dragon King's order would be obeyed so quickly!
It had only been about half a day since he came to Spring, and the black dragon was resting listlessly in the special mansion with his eyes slightly closed, when suddenly, the eyes of the two dragons widened, and more than a dozen undisguised huge and extremely large death forces surged in a straight line from a distance......
Without any hesitation, the black dragon didn't say a word, and both flew into the sky, flying towards the extreme east, not even making a roar to make the people in the city more vigilant.
While flying, the black dragon was also secretly scolding "perverts" in his heart, but it was just a small Springton, and there were so many perverts. In the terrifying power of death, they clearly felt the breath of Kailim, and similar to the breath of Kailim, needless to say, it should also be those dragon knights!
Although the two black dragons escaped fast enough, they were not able to escape from Kailim's perception, but after all, they had some connections with the Black Dragon King, and they had no fighting spirit at all, so Kalim didn't care.
"Don't pay attention to them, what we want is Spring!" Stopping his dragon knights from chasing the two black dragons, Kerim's eyes froze at Spring, who had already begun to riot, and said in a deep voice: "Let's do it! All the main armies will be destroyed! All the city's citizens, those who dare to resist, will be destroyed!"
Hearing Kelim's order, the thirteen dragon knights who had been completely shrouded in the mist of death suddenly disappeared, and when they reappeared, they had surrounded Springd from all sides.
Without any words, the dragon knight's eyes lit up with blood, and the terrifying power suddenly exploded, and he heard a "boom", and several thick city gates were directly bombed to pieces under this power! Not only the city gates, but also the troops on the four city walls were also bombarded......
Thirteen Sanctuary powerhouses attacked at the same time, and almost in an instant, Spring's defenses had been completely destroyed, not only the defenses, but also the entire Spring's military spirit and morale. Just look at the more than ten Sacred Domain powerhouses flying in the sky, and how can they resist!
After a heavy blow, the Dragon Knight didn't waste any more strength, and rushed directly into the ground army, and began to slaughter the main force of Spring's army, so that the third and ninth legions behind could be successfully stationed at the minimum cost!
The Thirteen Dragon Knights were all famous thousands of years ago, not only with terrifying strength and rich combat experience, but also similar to Aaron's body, with an immortal and indestructible body, ignoring ordinary attacks at all.
With their strength, with a single move, a large number of soldiers in the army have fallen, even if those strong men in the army are desperate, they cannot form a trace of danger to them.
The slaughter lasted for dozens of minutes, and all the main forces of the army on the city wall and in the barracks were destroyed, not only the army, but all those who dared to show their heads, whether they were soldiers and civilians, women and children, were ruthlessly slaughtered! The bloody aura emitted by the endless blood enveloped the entire Spring.
No one dared to come out to resist, at least in the face of these deaths, no one dared to come out again! Then, the Third and Ninth Legions arrived in Spring, and began to clear the hostile forces scattered in and out of the city, and with them came the garrison legion, and they were responsible for the security of the city!
How the Third and Ninth Legions cleaned up the hostile forces in the territory is not mentioned for the time being, but the actions of Kerim and others have not stopped because of this!
After taking Spring, the dragon knight only rested for a while, and a day later, he set out with the rest of the army to attack the next fortified city. As for those towns and towns on the way, they are not in a hurry, after capturing the fortified city, there will be a legion responsible for slowly cleaning up!
Such an offensive, coupled with the fact that in order to avoid the edge of the dragon knights, most of the dragons' forces were gathered in the rear, but in five days, the Aragorn Empire unexpectedly smashed a scar hundreds of kilometers long on the territory of the city-state of St. Ferry.
If the city-state of Saint-Ferry does not take effective action, this scar will probably continue to expand, and its arrow is even more directed at Brussels, directly at the heart of the city-state of Saint-Ferry!
Although the cold wind from the north was fierce, it could not blow Spring, which was located in the south of the continent. Therefore, although places such as the Dragon Slayer City have been covered in ice and snow, the sun is still warm and the wind is gentle, and there is not even a trace of snow shadow in the whole winter. However, at this moment, the mood of everyone in Brussels is exactly the opposite of the weather, especially those in the palace......
"Five days! Only five days! The city-state is four hundred miles away! Tell me, ladies and gentlemen, what exactly is our army doing......?
Although it has been less than two years since he ascended the throne, although the prestige of the royal family has not been as good as before, Keane is also very powerful once he is angry.
Cold eyes swept over the ministers, Keane looked at the cold light, gritted his teeth, and slowly squeaked: "No matter what your plans are, now all the forces that can be called on are handed over to me, and I must stop them no matter what." Hey, if anyone wants to think about me at this juncture, hey, hey...... I can't deal with them, but I can make some of you disappear!"
In five days, they were conquered for 400 miles, and if this continued, would it not be said that in twenty days at most, the Aragon Empire would attack this Brussels. At such a juncture, if Keane can still hold his composure, then he is not the master of the city-state of St. Ferry!
Stared at by the cold gaze of a blade, all the ministers were silent, as Keane said, although he could not stop the fierce offensive of the Aragorn Empire, but if he wanted to clean them up regardless of the consequences, it would still be easy to do it. And at this time, I'm afraid Keane is already desperate!
None of the ministers dared to speak, and the Minister of War, Duke Perrotta, smiled bitterly in his heart, but he had to stand up slowly.
Duke Perrotta actually understands Keane's anger very well, as the supreme master of the city-state of St. Ferry, Keane does not even have the strength to resist a wave of attacks from the Aragon Empire, and the only dragons who can help him are shrinking back at this time because of the determination of the dragon knight's killing intent, and no matter how much he urges, he does not do anything......
Keane wasn't angry with these ministers, he was really angry with the dragons, the dragons who received the dragon god's orders but refused to work hard for them!
"Your Majesty is angry, all of you here are the pillars of the empire, as long as you can contribute to the empire, as long as you can stop the dragon knights' footsteps, let alone hand over the power in their hands, even if their lives are believed to be at ...... cost."
Perrotta's voice paused slightly, and the ministers hurriedly echoed it, which made Keane's face stretch a little.
"However, the power they have under their hands, Your Majesty must also know that even if they are all sacrificed, if they are used to resist the dragon knights, I am afraid it will still have no effect......
Looking at the nose and nose, Perrotta did not have any expression on his face, and continued to say in a deep voice: "To resist the dragon knights head-on, except for Lord Elena, there is no other force that can do it! And the reason why Lord Elena and their refusal to go to the front line in person, according to the old minister's opinion, should be because of the difference in strength between them......
After the Black Dragon King left due to something, if Lord Elena and the others fought against the Upper Aragon Empire alone, even if they could delay the pace of the Dragon Knights a little, I am afraid that they themselves would suffer heavy casualties. With all due respect, people will always have selfish intentions, knowing that there will inevitably be major injuries if they go, so how can Lord Elena lead the crowd there?"
His face was still gloomy, but the anger on Keane's face had already subsided, and the Minister of War could stand up and speak at this time, so he must have some strategy.
Keane said in a deep voice: "Then what does Lord Duke mean ......"
Raising her gaze to Keane, Perrotta said slowly: "The key to the matter is still the dragon! Since Lord Elena is reluctant to do anything because she doesn't want to cause major damage, but she can't get much effect, then we will give her strength, so that they can have enough strength to not fall into the ......disadvantage when facing the dragon knight and those others."
Before Perrotta could finish speaking, Keane's brow furrowed again.
Gather the mighties of the empire together and unite with the dragons to resist the dragon knights......
This idea is good, but at this moment, there are only three powerhouses with saint-level power that Kean can muster in his hands!
The holy level is divided into four stages: beginner, intermediate, high, and top, and in each of the previous stages, the strength is far from being able to fight against the next stage. According to Elena, the dragon knights all have the power of the middle and high levels of the Sanctuary, while Karim, Claire, and Aaron have the power of the top level of the Sanctuary, or even beyond the Sanctuary. Even if they join forces with junior and mid-level powerhouses, they are still no rivals!
Looking at Keane, Perrotta noticed the change in his complexion, and continued: "Your Majesty is worried about the lack of power that the empire can provide? Yes, the power that the empire can provide for the time being is indeed far from enough, but it is not completely impossible to solve this problem......
His body shook slightly, and Keane hurriedly said, "Is there any way?
According to the old minister's opinion, there should be two external forces that have the ability to help us and may help us, one is the dragon clan, and the other is the Duchy of Orlando!
Needless to say, as long as we can delay for a while, I believe that under the call of the great dragon god, His Majesty the same great Holy Dragon King will inevitably send a strong enough reinforcement again, and then it will be the time for us to win. But the premise is that we can drag the war until that time, and to drag the war to that time, our hope lies in the second external force, the Principality of Orlando!
At present, the Duchy of Orlando and the Burundi Empire have completely extinguished the flames, and at this moment, only they have the ability to provide us with enough help in the shortest possible time!"
As a consistent ally of the dragons, for thousands of years, the city-state of St. Ferri has always turned to the dragons for help when they are in trouble. To a certain extent, this also caused everyone's eyes to be narrow-minded, even if they encountered great difficulties, they still only had one choice to seek help, even if it was for a while, the dragons did not have time to help them!
At this time, as soon as Perrotta's words came out, everyone's hearts moved......
Yes, if the city-state of St. Ferry is destroyed, then the power of the Aragorn Empire will inevitably be more concentrated, and their next target is either the Empire of Light or the Duchy of Orlando! No matter which target it is, I believe that the Duchy of Orlando does not want to see it, so as long as the city-state of St. Ferry can take the initiative to make a request for it, they will definitely send considerable help to stop the conspiracy of the Aragon Empire!
With a glint in his eyes, Keane said in a deep voice: "Come on, invite Count Valdés to me immediately!"
Count Valdés is the envoy of the Duchy of Orlando in Brussels, and through him, the letter of the city-state of St. Ferry can reach the Duchy of Orlando as quickly as possible!
"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" As soon as Keane shouted, the two attendants immediately followed the order, but Perrotta stopped them again: "According to the old minister's information, an hour ago, Lord Cowbert, the priest of the Holy God of War, has arrived at the embassy of the Duchy of Orlando, if possible, the old minister dares to ask His Majesty to come and greet him in person!"
The times are different, since there is a request for others, keep your voice down, no, it is still appropriate to be more approachable, and with the identity and power of the priest of the Holy God of War of Coubert, it is not too embarrassing to let Keane go over in person.
Instead of being angry at Perrotta's words, Keane was overjoyed: "Lord Priest Corbett has come here in person?
Before the city-state of St. Ferri could ask for help, the priest of the Holy God of War had already arrived in Brussels, which showed Keane a very satisfactory signal: the Duchy of Orlando was very concerned about this side of the matter! As long as the conditions that satisfied them could be provided, the aid would surely come in the fastest time!
As long as the city-state of St. Philip can be saved, what conditions are not acceptable to Keane!
Walking briskly down from the throne, Keane's steps abruptly stunted. Maybe if he goes with her, he can better show his sincerity, and he can reach a joint alliance with the Duchy of Orlando sooner!
His gaze swept among the ministers, and he directly fixed on the Minister of War, and Kean said: "Lord Perrotta, you come with me to the Dragon Temple to meet Lord Elena, and when we meet her, we will go together to meet Priest Cowbert......"
If it can be said that the Frost Dragon Elena will go to meet Corbert together, it will not only give Corbert the highest treatment in terms of specifications, but also show him the potential power of the city-state of St. Ferry, showing him that as long as the Duchy of Orlando can provide strong assistance, combined with the strength of Elena and them, the city-state of St. Ferry will definitely be able to survive this difficulty......
Once this difficulty is over, when the Holy Dragon King's assistance arrives, the overall situation will be able to take a critical turn, and even recovering the lost territory may not be impossible.
With his mind turning, Keane had already thought that once he withstood the attack of the dragon knights head-on, the increasingly narrow front of the Aragorn Empire might become the biggest pain in its soft feet!
The more fierce the offensive, the longer the battle line will be! Once the offensive is blocked, this Achilles' heel will be undoubtedly revealed. At this time, it depends on whether the spear is the tip or the shield is hard!
Although its own national strength is not very good, the layers of demons guarding the palace of the city-state of St. Ferri are the crystallization of the careful cooperation of many strong people of the dragon clan thousands of years ago, and the sky, ground, and underground are all completely shrouded by it. Except for the main gate of the palace, there is no other place where people can sneak in quietly without touching the magic array! And the main gate of the palace is the most closely patrolled place......
Even Aaron, after carefully observing it for several days, could not help but be amazed by the mystery of this magic array. Back then, if it weren't for the thief who opened a loophole in the magic ban and transferred all the guards near the loophole, it would have been impossible for the former ruler of the city-state of St. Ferry to be quietly assassinated!
In Aaron's opinion, without the help of external forces, unless he breaks it strongly, if he wants to enter the palace, even if it is his latent technique, I am afraid there is not much possibility!
"This task is really difficult enough......" In the shadows, Alun stared at the main entrance of the palace, but he smiled bitterly in his heart......
