Chapter 430: The Eve of the Great War
Unlike the hidden danger in the outside world, the entire city of Casteg has been shrouded in mountains of desire, and the contradiction between the dragon ancestor and the queen is by no means only difficult to bridge, but has almost reached the level of endless sword fighting.
The last public statement of the Dragon Ancestor demanded that Moryl must give an explanation for providing ten black dragon bones to the necromancer without authorization, and gave an explanation for the dark dragon that disappeared not long ago, combined with the queen's previous actions, he had reason to suspect that the disappearance of the two dark dragons was also related to the necromancer's deal with the queen.
As for the specific terms of the confession, it is required that the queen must immediately hand over the control method of the ten lich dragons, and imprison herself in the dragon tomb until the truth of the dark dragon's disappearance is clarified, and pray for forgiveness to the dark dragon Marassa for her mistakes, as long as the dark dragon does not send an oracle for a day, Queen Morriel will not leave the dragon tomb for a day.
Morryll's response to such a request was to be known on her toes, not to mention that six of the ten Lich Dragons she had refined had been taken away by Sandru, and she was even puzzled by the disappearance of the two Dark Dragons.
And the most important point is that she knows that when all power is taken away, there will be no result for her except death, Moriel, who is good at power struggle, decisively rejected Long Zu's request, and the reason why the two sides have not fought now is probably just to wait for reinforcements to tighten up the last force for the decisive battle.
It seems that the situation is on the side of the dragon ancestor, because on the third day of the complete rupture between the two sides, Gengna led the army of the territory city to the city of Casteger, to Lear's surprise, at the temporary military meeting that decided the stationing of the army, he actually saw an acquaintance - the cave man Shakt, who was originally just a small squad leader, after the shock of the Tucheng city, he was actually qualified to participate in this kind of mid-level and high-level military meeting.
Lear smiled and nodded actively, the latter was naturally flattered to return the salute, although it was not clear what Lear's identity was now, but just looking at the situation where General Gengner took him with him wherever he went, no one was stupid enough to offend him.
"Please, Your Excellency, I have already reported your request to the Dragon Ancestor, and Your Majesty has also agreed to see you. ”
After arranging the stationing of the army, Gengna immediately found Lear, and the envoy of Longzu was already waiting outside the barracks, and at present, a clear boundary had been carved out of the city of Casteg with the central market as the boundary, and the side of the eastern city they were about to enter was in the hands of Longzu's supporters.
"Please. ”
Lear was not pretentious, and immediately stepped out of the barracks with Gengna.
An hour later, during Castag's temporary stay, Lear got his wish to meet the most powerful and longest-surviving monster in the underworld, Dragonzu Hadwart.
"Good day, Your Excellency Long Zu. ”
Instead of lying on the ground and kissing Long Zu's toes like Gengna, Lear just bent down slightly, even if he had seen the etiquette to Long Zu.
"Bold!"
Before Hardward could speak, an extremely violent and bloodthirsty aura suddenly erupted from the minotaur behind him, only these two words did not scold more, but if it was an ordinary person, his legs would have trembled and he knelt down unconsciously in a cold sweat under the pressure of the furious sea frenzy, but it was a pity that the person he pressured was Lear.
"This should be General Daxto, as expected, there is no match for fame, and your name deserves the title of the first warrior of Nigon. ”
Although the words of admiration were in his mouth, there was no panic in the eyes of Lear and Daxdo, a similar aura he had already felt in another person, although there was no bloodthirstiness and madness like Daxdo in the pair of black pupils that almost killed him several times, but the sea-like deep murderous intent and the indomitable determination of the heart were completely two extremes with Daxto.
"That's it, it's a guest from afar. ”
Hardwald shook his head, and even if Daxdo was unwilling, he could only restrain his momentum of wanting to pounce and tear Lear into pieces of minced flesh.
"Tell me, human, why do you want to see me?"
If Hardworth didn't speak, it would feel like a piece of rotten wood that had long since dried up and lost all its life, gray age spots crawled all over his neck like scales, the facial features on that face were more casual than the puppets that the youngest naughty boy had pieced together, his heavy eyebrows drooped weakly, and the eyes that occasionally opened to reveal a line of light did not flicker, on the contrary, the gray turbidity that was close to death lingered on his face like maggots on the tarsal bones.
What Lear knew, however, was that no matter whether the war ended up winning or losing, the old immortal would have to struggle for at least another two hundred years.
"I do have a request for you, but now is not the time to find out, but before that I have a suggestion, you can let me stay by your side as a guest, if you need it, I can also do it on your behalf, the so-called no merit, when the time comes, it will be more logical for me to make my request. ”
Lear's words did not cause any reaction from Hadward, but the faces of Gengner and Daxdo gradually changed, especially Daxdor's red eyes almost spewed fire, if it weren't for Hadwart's lack of expression, he was afraid that he would immediately come up and kill Lear.
In fact, it's no wonder that these two people are so angry, Lear's identity as an outsider is suspicious but he offers to stay by Long Zu's side, but his later words are clearly not confident in the next battle.
Who is Long Zu, the existence that has ruled the dark world for hundreds of years, it can almost be said to be a living myth, where will such an existence be used to help Lear, but according to the meaning of Lear's words, Long Zu will not only suffer defeat in the next war, but also may be in danger to the point where he needs an outsider to help, such arrogant nonsense, Gengna and Daxdo did not immediately rush up to find Lear desperately, which can already explain the majesty of Long Zu.
"You people who have come from the ground seem to know a lot of things that we don't know, is it that Nigon has been resting on his laurels for so long that he doesn't even know that the world has changed?"
To the horror of Daxdo and Gengna, instead of angrily scolding Lear's arrogance, Long Zu asked a bland question that was more like acquiescing to the other party's statement, you must know that although Moriel has won the support of the cavemen, the harpy and the Medusa, but the real combat power of the underground world, the Minotaur, the manticore, and the dragon clan are all gathered at the feet of the dragon ancestor, and Morriel has no chance of winning this war at any level.
"I don't know a lot of things, but I just know a little bit about the Lich Dragon, and what you're talking about is really just two, and if I tell you that Sandru and Morriel are working together to deal with me, it will be much easier for you to understand. ”
Lear glanced lightly at Daxdo and Genna, and sure enough, after hearing that Sandru's old enemy turned out to be the young man in front of him, there was obviously a hint of jealousy in their eyes.
"And most importantly, the key to the war is always people, even if it seems that all the advantages are now gathered on your side, but the embankment collapses in the anthill, and what the real human heart wants, I think you know better than me. ”
"Who are you referring to?"
Hadvo slowly lifted his old face, still looking like he was about to die, but the moment he asked the question, there seemed to be sun, moon and stars falling in his cloudy eyes.
"Well, think of it as a welcome gift from me. ”
Lear didn't want to get too involved in this civil war in Nigon, but since he was already standing in front of the Dragon Ancestor, and Moriel happened to be an ally of Sandru, he naturally didn't mind stumbling on the other side.
"Aget, Emma, Tima and Jean, these people will play a pivotal role in the next war, if you don't want too many variables......" Lear didn't finish his words, but he believed that Dragon Ancestor should be able to understand what he meant.
"Killed. Dragon Ancestor's response was also extremely simple, and it also showed that he was able to rule the underworld for hundreds of years by virtue of immortality.
"Your Majesty!! think twice!!" Daxdo and Gengna were shocked when they heard this, and knelt down directly in front of Hardward, not to mention that Lear was an outsider at all, how much credibility he had in what he said, that is, three of the four names he provided were important people who had already stated their position in support of Dragon Ancestor.
Among them, Ajette is the most famous sorcerer in Nigon this year, and the monster evil eye he created is not inferior to Medusa in terms of combat effectiveness, but just the fact that it can be mass-produced and put into the army has completely exploded the attitude of the Medusa clan to work and not work.
Master Jean's magic eye can clearly control all the dynamics on the battlefield, and there is no more valuable helper for a general, and Tima is the high priest of the Minotaur clan, and his reputation in the clan is probably second only to the dragon ancestor.
Although the last Emma is on Moriel's side, the prestige and personal strength accumulated over the past hundred years are not guaranteed to succeed even if Daxdo himself goes to assassinate him, such four important people are just because of a word from an outsider whose fate is decided, and the battle is self-destructed before the war starts, which makes Daxdo and Genna how can they not be afraid.
In fact, Lear still has a name that he doesn't say, not only considering that the man is still a little-known person, but he also has the intention of leaving a nail for himself in Nigon.
"Your Excellency Lear, I'll solve our own troubles, but since you brought it up, I'm afraid that Master Emma's side will have to ask you to do it yourself, and it can be regarded as a gift from you to the old man, and if there is a need for you later, then our deal will be concluded. ”
Ignoring the pleading of Genna and Daxto, Hardworth squinted at his half-dead hanging feet and said lightly to Lear.
"Old fox!" was not surprised how Hadward guessed his identity, Lear sipped lightly in his heart, not mentioning that he had already helped assassinate Sephiroth before, but instead asked Lear to help solve the biggest hidden danger in the enemy camp with the snake stick, but he said it himself, and now he couldn't find a suitable excuse to refuse.
"Okay, but if the deal is concluded, I hope that Your Excellency Long Zu will keep his promise and know everything I want. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Lear finally gritted his teeth and agreed, in fact, he had no other way, if there were still people in the underground world who knew the clues of the World Tree, then it could only be the old monster in front of him, although Moriel now has almost the same power as Long Zu, but if it is only about living for a long time, Long Zu is afraid that he will dump her for more than eighteen streets, and such news, without a considerable price, it is obviously impossible to get it from Long Zu's mouth.
"Of course. ”
After saying this, Long Zu's head lowered like rotten wood, as if the sudden upright just now had consumed all his strength, and when Daxto and Gengna saw this, they finally knew that it was impossible for Long Zu to change his mind, and after glaring at Lear hatefully, they could only helplessly carry out Hardward's order.
