Chapter 2: The City Sheltered by the Light, Section 7

Bang!

With a loud bang, a long sword was placed on the huge round table, it was the Holy Sword of Maridia, which had just been inherited by Irelia.

"Someone forgot what I was doing, just after I took over?" said Irelia, scoffing, looking at the sword in her hand.

"Lord Irelia, I'm not trying to question your abilities, however, I'm afraid you'll ...... in the face of the Dragon Knight," Corno slowly walked up to Irelia, "and I'm going to be overwhelmed......"

In an instant, the blade of the sword in Irelia's hand was already on Corno's neck, and the majestic voice was suffocating, "Dragon Knight, whoever dares to come to the Queen City to make a mistake, I will be a dragon slayer!"

Corno sneered, "Lord Irelia, what you are doing is going against the Queen City......

"Huh?" Irelia snorted, the blade barely a fraction of a centimeter away from Corno's flesh, and the chattering Digan was silenced.

"Irelia, no matter what, remember that you are always under the light of Cana......"

Irelia's voice rang out in her head, and she mentally responded, "Sorry, rude," and then put away her sword and sat down.

The deflated Corno felt palpitations, touched his neck and returned to his seat, his face displeased, but he did not dare to say more.

Terami said, "Okay, be quiet." I know you're all afraid of the Dragon Knights, but with the strength of my queen's city, even if the army of Atlantis does come to the city, we will not stand still. ”

Bing Lan crossed her hands and nodded her chin, and sneered: "Are all the Di people so impatient?"

"You...... What's wrong with what I'm saying?" Terami asked rhetorically.

Bing Lan continued, "Why don't you listen to Mr. Xiu Bodu's opinion?"

Terami snorted contemptuously, and stretched out his right hand to swing in the direction of Xiu Bodu, "Sir, please speak." Be all ears. ”

Xiu Bodu smiled back, then looked at Maridia, and with the acquiescence of the smile of the ancient female elf, Xiu Bodu nodded again and said, "Lord Tellamy, Mr. Corno, everyone, everyone is too afraid of dragon knights. No, of course, we need to pay attention to the capabilities of the dragon knights, but we also need to be clear about the current situation: even if this incident really caused a conflict with the city of Atlantis, they will not be able to gather an army in a short time and carry out a large-scale military conquest against us. ”

Xiu Bodu spread out his hands and continued, "What's more, we have the Glory Temple, the most sacred battle power hall in the entire Origin Realm. If Atlantis City is really confident enough to conquer us by force, then it is probably not the messenger who sent the letter this time, but a golden-armored warrior riding a dragon. ”

Many people nodded in agreement with Xiu Bodu's words, but doubts and uneasiness could still be seen on their faces.

"You may think that I am just talking irresponsibly, but I ask you to imagine a scenario: what would happen if the Queen City fully accepted the policies of Atlantis City?"

It is not difficult to imagine that on this continent, the city of the queen, as one of the oldest main cities, occupies the role of a council that resembles a meeting in some way, and the city of Atlantis undoubtedly plays the role of a monarch. Once the edict issued by Atlantis was approved and obeyed by the queen's city, all other city-states would carry it out. To a certain extent, the existence of the Queen City is the right thing to determine whether Atlantis City is right or wrong. All along, the alliance of the entire Eastern Continent has been based on the mutual restraint of the two.

"I'm sure you all think the same thing as me, if we nod our heads now, then there will be more stringent requirements at that time, and we will have few helpers left. Xiu Bodu added.

The expressions of everyone became more and more solemn, although the queen city has always played the role of a judge, but the situation it is facing now is indeed unprecedented. Now, for the first time, Queen City has been pushed to the forefront, after all, even if Queen City says "no" to Atlantis, it is not ruled out that some main cities will continue to choose to obey Atlantis.

"If the alliance in the Eastern Continent really breaks up because of this...... We really are...... Hey......" Another Di Yan man frowned and sighed sadly.

Xiu Bodu's expression gradually lost the brilliance of self-confidence. He also knew that Queen City's words and deeds always involved the development of the entire Eastern Continent. So, from beginning to end, he always had a reservation in his words. After all, Atlantis City's request this time is too unfavorable to the Lonellan people, although his remarks have always been biased towards "refusal", and he has put himself on the height of more unfavorable races, but if he really makes Queen City go against the royal city from now on, the consequences are not something he can bear alone.

Many of you have similar concerns, and you will never be able to say anything about them. Everyone talked about it again, and no matter how many words they spoke, they would eventually add a noncommittal ending.

"You look a little hesitant, Mr. Xiubodu. ”

Maridia's voice rang in Xiubodu's mind again. Xiubodu quietly looked up at Maridia, the ancient mage looking at him with a smile.

"Yes, my Queen. Xiu Bodu responded to her in his heart, "I'm just for my people......"

"Whoever has their own selfish agendas, I'd love to hear what you really think, clever Lonellan. ”

"I'm just a human being who can't be more ordinary, my queen. If the flames of war burn out as a result, the Lonellans will always be the first to be burned......"

"My friend, in your eyes, the longevity of the Lonellan has always bound you. This will make you lose the wisdom you should have. Looking at the entire primordial realm, among all living beings, who is not a fleeting glimmer of light in the sea of stars? No one can choose what they are born for, but everyone can choose what they are going to die for, Mr. Xiu Bodu. ”

"Why did you die, my queen, what do you want me to do?"

"Evil has grown, and it has begun to spread. I've been going through too long of it, and I'm not going to set the end for you, the most important thing is always the choice that your heart desires the most, and that's forever. ”

"My Queen, I'm just an ordinary Lonellan...... I can't measure ...... from the height of life."

"Race aside, my friend. Even if the power is small, there is immeasurable power. Nothing can completely control the course of time, and there will be people who break their vows and give up their faith, but there are also many who will stick to these qualities to the end. We call those 'hopes.'" ”

"But I'm ...... I can't ask any warrior to fight for these things, even to waste their lives......"

"The light of Cana always shines on the land, my friend. The inheritance of the Holy Light is always completed imperceptibly. And you, you have the power to lead this change. A young dragon knight has been born, a descendant of the royal family of Acklin. Find him, and you'll have a lot of power to stand up to the Iron Riders of the North or even the Dragonburn. ”

"Why do you think so much of me, an ordinary Lonellan?"

"My friend, what you consider to be ordinary and weak gives you a unique judgment. Strong people will be lost, and even the most upright people will fall into decay because of it. And the ordinary, but it gives you 'kindness'. Only with compassion can one never turn away from the Light. My friend, the Light always favors the good and will give you courage. ”

In the exchange between spirits, Xiu Bodu's eyes became firm again. Maritia's dignified and holy countenance shone with a glimmer of light, which concealed all the noise and trouble.

"Gentlemen, my friends, please listen to me a few more words. Xiubodu stood up again and said loudly, "My friends, I know that everyone is unhappy with the dictatorship of Atlantis City, but at the same time they are afraid, terrified. But ask yourself, even if we obey, is the result what we want? After many ups and downs, we finally got the equality, freedom, and peace that we have now. We are tolerant, friendly, and help each other, and that's why we're strong. The power has not defeated us, and we cannot be the first to turn our backs on the 'justice' in our hearts!"

The confidence that everyone had lost because of fear gradually recovered in Xiu Bodu's words. Most people have chosen to stick to the policy of Queen's City, and all they need is for someone to stand up and break through this film of fear.

"Mr. Xiubodu, as you say, can you be responsible for the tens of thousands of living beings in Queen City?" Korno questioned viciously.

Xiu Bodu shook his head and responded, "No, Mr. Corno, you think highly of me. Xiu Bodu turned to look at the other councillors, "My friends, my strength is weak, and I can't give you any protection. So here, I implore you to stick to the faith in your hearts, as long as we are united, even the storm will not extinguish the light of Cana!"

"Yes, Cana's Light!"

"yes, we shouldn't be beating ourselves up!"

"The Light is still on us!"

"Yes!"

Xiu Bodu made a generous statement, and everyone nodded in approval.

"Mr. Xiubodu, my blade is at your service!" Irelia was the first to stand, her right hand holding the hilt of her sword and pounding heavily on her left chest.

"My arrows will strike you in the eyebrows!" said Lonai.

"My magic of light will unfurl the strongest shield for you!" Ice Blue stood up and performed a formal courtesy among the Lonellans at Shubodu.

Then, Terami got up and said to Xiubodu solemnly: "In that case, Mr. Xiubodu, on behalf of the Glory Temple, I declare that we have finally decided to reject the unreasonable demands of Atlantis City, and the Queen City will continue to implement the current system. ”

When the crowd heard Tellamy's statement, it was as if they had won an unprecedented victory, chanting in unison, "Long live the Holy Light". Xiu Bodu politely thanked everyone, especially the ancient elf not far away.

Maritia is always smiling, and her light is always the strongest pillar in everyone's hearts.

Marytia said softly, "It seems that you have found faith in your hearts, my friends. Now, even the deepest darkness is hard to destroy. ”

"Long live the Light!

Amid the cheers, no one noticed that Corno had long since disappeared......
