"Respected elders, this is the case, it's not that we don't work hard, it's that the black dragon is too cunning and powerful!"

This is the top floor of the Nine-Ring Circular Tower in the Arcane Empire's capital of the Arcane Empire, the office of the Imperial Senate, and the people who come and go here every day are the most powerful people in the entire Draenor plane, and every order they issue will affect the fate of countless people.

At this moment, the thirteen elders of the entire Arcane Empire gathered in the office of the Nine Rings Round Tower, listening intently to the report of Lem, the leader of the Arcane Knights.

However, it is said that after Lem fled the valley with the team of Arcane Knights, he first placed his injured bipedal Wyvern mount in the city near the Monster Mountains, and then drove back to the city of Offa with the body of his brother Tim and other knights all the way.

Not surprisingly, as soon as they returned to Arcane City, they were called to the Nine Rings Tower, and then he, the leader, entered the power center of the entire Arcane Empire to report to the senators.

After listening to Lem's report, more than a dozen elders did not rush to express their opinions, but thought to each other and talked secretly, so that after nearly ten minutes, only one of the elders with hair and beard as white as snow opened his mouth and said: "Then why do you think that the entire dragon clan is involved in this matter? Is it just the black dragon that doesn't know where it came from?"

The patriarch's voice was not loud, but when it fell on Lyme's ears, it made his whole body tense, which was a hierarchical suppression, like a wild boar in nature that will run wild when it hears the roar of a tiger.

Not daring to slack off, he hurriedly bent down and replied with a deep salute: "Patriarch Mingjian, we all know that the last black dragon in the Draenor plane died in the human-dragon war more than eight thousand years ago, and in this world, except for our Arcane Empire, only the dragon clan can go to the alien plane, if it wasn't for the dragon clan to summon the black dragon from the alien plane, would it be us? ”

"This reason is not sufficient, because the otherworldly teleportation spell may also cause other dimensional creatures to come to the Draenor plane, and although the dragons are arrogant, judging by their way of acting, if they are really behind all this, how can you all come back safely?"

The white-haired patriarch shook his head, obviously not very agreeing with Lem's opinion, as one of the actual rulers of the Arcane Empire, he would not be fooled by Lem so easily, this kind of matter involving the fate of the two behemoths of the Arcane Empire and the Dragon Clan was bound to not be decided easily.

Lem was speechless for a moment, of course he knew the truth of this matter, and he knew that if he continued to entangle, it would be easy for these old elders to see the inside truth, so he simply stopped talking with a wooden face, as if he had acquiesced.

But what Lem never expected was that just when he was blank and wanted to get through this scene first, the door was suddenly pushed open by the clerk of a certain senator, and as soon as he entered, he said something that made everyone's faces change greatly.

"It's a big deal, ladies and gentlemen, the Ural mine was attacked by three gem dragons, most of the mine guards were killed, and a large number of precious ores were destructively looted and mined, the number is incalculable!"

"What!"

The elders who were sitting on the Taishi chair before were all shocked by the news and stood up from their seats, and their old eyes widened.

"That's a coincidence, isn't it!" Lem's eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly to let out a silent exclamation.

Just now, they were still arguing about whether the dragons were really plotting against the Arcane Empire, and now the news of the Gem Dragon's attack on the Empire's most important gem mine suddenly came out, and it was impossible not to think about it.

And Lem knew that even if the dragons did not collude with the evil gods to plot against the Arcane Empire, this attack on the gem mine would definitely be enough to trigger a war against the dragons in the entire empire.

You must know that since the Arcane Empire is founded on spells, then all kinds of gem materials that are indispensable in spell research and spell casting are the lifeblood of the entire empire, once there is no supply of these materials, the huge mage army in the empire will not want to cast any large-scale legion spells, let alone those magic circles and puppets that rely heavily on gem materials.

The Ural Mine that was attacked was the largest gem mine in the entire Draenor plane, and nearly half of the gem materials in the entire Arcane Empire were mined from this mine, and some special gems and high-quality gems were only available in this mine.

Now that such an empire's lifeline has entered the three gem dragons, even if you use your ass to think about it, you know that the loss is absolutely immeasurable, and it is also an absolutely unforgivable thing.

What's more, at this juncture when it was just discovered that the dragons might collude with the evil gods to plot against the Arcane Empire, the behavior of the three gem dragons was impossible for people to connect the two.

"Jewel Dragons have always liked to inhabit the inner planes, and there is no way for dragons like Jewel Dragons to exist in our secondary planes. An elder suddenly spoke up and broke the silence and said.

"Regardless of whether the metal dragons overseas are involved in these two things, it is certain that we are definitely targeted by a powerful force now, if I am not mistaken, this force should be from the main material plane!" another patriarch followed closely and said his guess.

After the patriarch finished speaking, another middle-aged male patriarch with a slightly younger face immediately said: "If the enemy comes from the main material plane, then the number will definitely not be too much, it should be the route of elite soldiers, I suggest that the information on the abnormal situation that occurred in the empire during this period of time should be collected immediately, as long as they are active in the empire, it is impossible not to leave traces, in addition, non-imperial territories such as the Demon Mountain Range should also focus on sending people to investigate, and the enemy's lair is likely to be there." ”

While the elders were talking, Lem had already left the room with the clerk with great interest, and with their rank, they were not qualified to listen to this in the audience.

Almost as soon as Lem returned to the Arcane Knights' garrison on the front foot, a new order was delivered on the back foot, ordering all the Arcane Knights to rush to the Ural mines as quickly as possible, and to be sure to leave the three gem dragons behind before the large army arrived.

"This can't be done!" his first reaction when he received the order was to shout at the heralds.

"But this is an order of the Senate. ”

The herald first emphasized the words "Senate" before whispering, "Elder Tis asked me to tell you, if you feel that you don't have enough manpower, you can bring a few more accompanying mages, and it is no problem for the bipedal wyvern to bear two or three humans. ”

After Lem's face changed for a while, he nodded vigorously and said, "I understand, I'll gather people and set off." ”
