Chapter 11 The Road to Convergence
The edge of the Eternal Night Mountains in the West.
A handsome man sat in the middle of a dense forest, dressed in elven-style white robes, and beneath him was a magic circle outlined in intricate lines.
The light of the circle has dimmed.
Near the dense forest, hundreds of the most elite warriors of the Wu Clan, armed with weapons, vigilantly spied on the surrounding movements, and even stood a few gorgeously dressed royal court warlocks.
After a long time, the man sitting on the magic array opened his eyes, and a line of red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Lord Salin. Seeing this scene, one of the royal court priests guarding the magic array was shocked.
In his mind, Master Saleen was an almost god-like being, and such a great figure could be injured?
Could it be that the dragon vein person named Kayan is so powerful?
"I'm fine, it's just a slight backlash from [Soul Displacement]. No fuss. Salin wiped the bloodshot from the corner of his lips and waved his hand, "You go and inform His Majesty the Holy Spirit King, and ask him to withdraw his troops as soon as possible and stay away from the Borean Fortress as soon as possible, Gayan has already returned." β
"Yes. Hearing this, the royal court priest couldn't be shocked, and hurriedly ran out of the forest.
Soon after, a goshawk with a parchment tied to its feet flew out of the dense forest and soared into the distance, carrying a message from Saleen.
Looking at the distant figure of the sacrifice, Salin sighed.
This operation was proposed by him to the Holy Spirit King, and at the beginning, there was a great battle between the Holy Spirit Court and the dragon lance army on the Western Plains, and as usual, the army of the North Wind Legion easily routed the royal court's forces and pursued them all the way to the wasteland.
However, what the entire North Wind Legion didn't expect was that this was just a feint, and when tens of thousands of dragon lance expeditionary forces traveled hundreds of miles, chasing the banner of the Holy Spirit King all the way to the depths of the wasteland, what awaited them was an unprecedented catastrophe.
The magical feast prepared by Saleen turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, and with the ambush soldiers set up by the Wu Clan, he severely damaged the dragon spear army deep into the wilderness, divided it, and besieged it in the wilderness to break it one by one, and the power of the Grand Magus was vividly displayed.
After that, the real main force of the royal court, which had already infiltrated the Eternal Night Mountain Range, quietly marched towards the North Wind Fortress while the dragon spear army was on the march.
If the news of the failure of the expeditionary force reached the dragon lancers, and the troops of the North Wind Legion were unstable, the Holy Spirit Royal Court attacked with all its might, and with the presence of the Grand Magister Salin, it might be very possible to achieve the feat of capturing the largest fortress in the West.
The Wu tribe's thousand-year-old wish to move south may be realized.
It's a pity that what everyone didn't expect was that Kayan, as the commander of the Great Legion, personally led hundreds of high-level elites of the legion at a critical moment to run thousands of miles into the wasteland, not only rescuing a large number of besieged dragon lance expeditionary forces, but also killing many high-level sacrifices in the royal court.
This fact shocked the upper echelons of the royal court, and if Kayan succeeded, then when the main force of the royal court rushed to the city of the North Wind Fortress, it would face the dilemma of being flanked between the front and back.
Upon hearing this, Saleen improvised this plan, intending to keep the greatest genius of the Dragonlance Empire in the wilderness forever.
If it succeeds, its strategic value will be no less than capturing a city of the Dragonlance Dynasty.
It's a pity that the ideal is very beautiful, but the reality often fails people's wishes.
Thinking of the battle just now, even a magician like Salen couldn't help but sigh: the bloodline of the divine dragon is indeed strong, and he can't defeat this woman who is only one-fifth of his age without exerting half of his magic power.
Looking at a few decades ago, even if he only used half of his strength, how many people in the entire Icadia Continent could guarantee to retreat with their whole body?
"You're right, maybe our generation is really old and is about to lose track of the younger generations. Salin looked up at the silver-robed old man who had appeared beside him.
"Times are advancing, and if young people could never surpass us old people, the human race would have died out long ago in the Middle Ages. β
Laplace said lightly. "Besides, the descendants of epic heroes, where is it so easy to deal with?"
"I have already conveyed those two words of yours to the princess of the Dragon Lance Dynasty. β
Salin stood up and patted the dust off his body, and there was a little more vicissitudes on his handsome and elegant face, "It's just, I don't know what the point of doing this is?"
"In order to clear the hurdles for that child, it was necessary to involve her. β
Laplace said, "That kid will have to face those guys from the Dragon Lance Dynasty on the way to the Asgard Mountains, and if Gayan goes with him, those people will have some scruples, and humans have always been like this, and when making judgments about interests, they tend to prioritize their own interests." β
Maybe she will become a rare helper by the child's side in the future. Laplace smiled, her clear eyes shining with wisdom, "Don't forget, after all, Gayan was the child's fiancΓ©e. β
"You can pull it down, it was all ten years ago, I don't think that His Royal Highness the ruthless Dragon Vein will remember the old feelings, and besides, this is still a political marriage with the son of a grand duke who has been destroyed. β
Saleen clearly didn't agree with the silver-robed old man in front of him, even though his former classmate was now the top astrologer in Icadia and the master of the Tower of Parliament.
For the iron-blooded side of Kayan on the battlefield of the wilderness, Saleen is still impressed.
The half-elf mage said disapprerovingly: "I have been dealing with that highness for much longer than you, I can see that she is the kind of soldier with a heart like stone, this kind of person is born with an excess sense of responsibility, especially when it comes to the interests of the Dragon Lance Dynasty and the royal family, but he will not consider such an ethereal thing as feelings, after seeing that little guy, maybe he will also hurt the killer, I still think that it is better to let her disappear directly than to let her help Constantine." β
"No one can guarantee the human heart, even she herself can't be sure now, only when she meets, she can know what she thinks in her heart. β
"When the time comes, she will naturally make a choice, and I believe that her final choice will be good for our goals." β
"How can you guarantee that?" Salin snorted coldly, "what if she saw Constantine and learned his identity, and without saying a word, hacked that little fellow to death with a sword, wouldn't you old man just stare dryly?"
"Constantine is her son, the descendant of His Excellency St. Faustus, how can he be so easy to kill?"
Laplace smiled and shook his head, "Besides, doesn't he still have a Roland by his side now?"
