Chapter 106: Meeting
Iroh had already left, and since he had completed the inspection of the Seven Death Stars as agreed, there was naturally nothing to stop him.
The only thing that made him feel a little strange was that he had already killed Chi and Indigo, but the other five didn't seem to say anything about it, as if they had killed not members of the Seven Death Stars......
Wait, could it be?
Eloh suddenly thought of something, but did not continue to ask the man in charge—these were nothing more than trivial matters compared to the mysterious "Lord".
With Iroh's departure, the city, which was not part of the world, returned to darkness and silence, the empty streets were lifeless, and the magic runes on the ground that had given people a faint sense of life were no longer as agile as before, and completely became dead.
Suddenly, in this absolute dead silence, the footsteps of several people were heard.
Soon, the dead silence was broken by seven people, and in the dim light, seven different figures gathered together.
"Purple, do you think the Lord will be satisfied with this guy?"
If Iroh was still there, he would have realized immediately that the person who spoke was the dead Chi!
Indigo should already have an answer to this question. Purple, the man who had spoken to Arrow earlier, did not answer directly, but looked at Indigo beside him.
"yes, Chi should still be resurrected at that time...... Just like I said, even if his current strength is not as good as the Lord, he will definitely make the Lord look forward to it. ”
"Not only that," Lan also spoke, "the Lord already has our powerful sword, but he is still not satisfied...... It seems that he wants more. ”
"Be cautious. ”
Purple whispered to stop Blue, "What the Lord wants, let's just try to get it for him, don't think too much about other things." ”
"Yes. ”
The other six nodded their heads.
However, despite saying this, Zi's heart was also a little surprised.
A role like Iroh is not simple, but the Lord still found that guy......
What exactly was he planning?
On the other side, Iroh had reached the deepest part of the city, in a secret passage in an abandoned palace in the center of the city.
As he continued to walk through the passage, Iroh noticed that as he walked farther and farther, the darkness in the passage was gradually fading, and there seemed to be a number of light sources in front of him.
After a few more moments, the light source finally revealed—a valuable magic lamp that shimmered a somewhat reassuring pale blue in the dark underground. And the surrounding walls are no longer the rough stone walls they used to be, and I don't know when they have been replaced by enchanted walls with silver light flowing.
Iroh's heart was slightly awe-inspiring, magic lamps are undoubtedly a luxury in human society, when most people are still using oil lamps, magic lamps can be said to be exclusive to the big nobles and the strong, and even people in high society generally have a few magic lamps.
However, in this secret passage, magic lamps seem to be used to replace ordinary lamps - there are more than a hundred of them!
Not to mention, the walls made entirely of enchanted materials are an absolute high-end magical product.
After walking for about a few more minutes, a portal appeared at the end of the line of sight, and Iroh stepped in without hesitation.
The surrounding landscape suddenly changed, and a pure white room replaced the previous magic lamps and enchanted walls.
This is really a pure white room, it seems that the owner here is extremely simple, not only there is nothing in the room, but even the color of the room is the kind of white that has not been decorated.
However, in Iroh's opinion, it is not so much the simplicity of the owner as the laziness to put any furniture.
"Welcome to our little secret gathering, Iroh. ”
There were already people in the room, and there was more than one.
The man to Iroh's left, as Iroh had guessed, was the man in the cloak with rainbow-like eyes that Hirkat had recorded, and he was bowing slightly to Iroh with a smile on his face.
To the right of Iroh is a human girl with an ordinary face.
She looked like any ordinary peasant girl, dressed in a slightly shabby light-colored robe, with a silver-plated inferior bracelet on her wrist, and it could be said that there was nothing worth mentioning except for her good features.
"Iroh, this is Levi Anson, the Bronze Dragon, male. The man in the cloak, Yan, then introduced the woman, but the latter only raised his eyes and said nothing.
It's not uncommon for male dragons to use their female form to hide their eyes, so Iroh doesn't react.
"Levi Anson is like that, he doesn't like to socialize. ”
Yan shrugged, but Iroh didn't mind, in fact, he cared more about the purpose of the party.
It seems to see that Ai Luo is also the type who doesn't want to talk nonsense, and Yan changed his words and went straight to the point.
"You two, are you interested in joining the game of fighting for hegemony in the Western Continent a little bit, and see if you can drag those five Venerables down?"
Seeing that the eyes of the two suddenly widened, Yan nodded with satisfaction, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.
......
The next day, Elo, Yan, and Levi Ansen were all standing in front of the gates of Walladoa.
The thousand-year-old imperial capital of Voladosa is known as the "Eternal City", a title of glory and pride that was not invented by the inhabitants of the Walla Empire, but rather the accolade of this legendary city after thousands of years of suffering, and it was not only recognized by the other three empires, but even the Northwest Orcs, who regarded the Walla Empire as their mortal enemy.
Since the remnants of the orcs were driven to the northwest of the Western Continent, these orcs have never had the idea of resigning themselves to their fate, but have been accumulating strength in order to fight back one day.
And the Walla Empire, which was closest to them, became the first object of their revenge.
In the long war, both the capital of the Vola Empire and the hinterland of the Orcs in the Northwest have actually been attacked by the other side, and more than once.
However, compared to the Orc base camp that was attacked three times, the Talie steppe, the thousand-year-old imperial capital of Voladola, was not breached once, even in the most critical war.
Historical records: Twenty years ago, the Talie steppe was hit by a super-large ice storm that had not been seen in a century, and the scope of this natural disaster was so large that it almost included the entire northwest. A severe natural disaster caused all the orc tribes to unite and invade Vola in advance.
In February, Vola went to war on all fronts, the old emperor led the army to fight in the Caton Fortress with the main force of the orcs, both sides suffered heavy casualties, the main force of the orc army was wiped out in half, the Vola army, the emperor was killed in battle, and the general of the Caton fortress was killed.
When the news reached the rear city of Yakaraka, the crown prince, who was commanding the battle, immediately announced his succession, continued to lead the army to resist, and ordered the whole country to fight to the death.
In May, the orc army began a frenzied attack, and the emperor appealed to Tadoya for help, which was refused. Afterwards, the emperor led the members of the royal family to the battlefield in person to boost morale.
At the end of May, the cold air of the steppe suddenly moved south, and the Vola army suffered from the freezing disaster, and the orcs took the opportunity to enter, and the new emperor was killed in battle, and the queen was wounded, and soon died as well. The Imperial defenses are torn apart, and the orc army enters the territory of Walla.
On the same day, at the age of sixteen, Crown Prince Konstantin announced his succession to the throne and began to show his unmatched military talents.
The so-called World War I became famous is when he rejected the orc army under the city of Voladoa.
Believing that victory was imminent, the orc army attacked almost as much as possible, and not only the orcs poured out, but also the goblins, dwarves, and humans of the intelligent races who belonged to the orc side.
To this day, everyone remembers that war. An army of millions of orcs under the leadership of the legendary general Cooper the Werewolf was overwhelming, and several armies rushed at the same time, and the Imperial army of Walla was terrified and routed, and in this way, it was beaten by the enemy to the walls of Walladoa.
At that time, almost the entire sky was covered by the light of the orc mage's battlefield magic, and the black and oppressive army composed of the orc berserker legion, assault corps, spellcaster troops, and servant armies of other subordinate races under the walls of the imperial capital was besieged around the city like a tide, and dozens of catapults threw burning boulders from time to time, and even in the palace, you could clearly feel the shaking of the earth.
No one believed that the Vola Empire would be able to hold on, except for His Majesty the current Emperor of the Empire - Konstantin.
It was in that almost desperate situation that Konstantin took the lead and led the royal guards to the city wall to command the battle, inspiring the combat confidence of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and finally successfully delayed the war for a month, until the envoy sent to the Dragon Yan Empire for help returned with dozens of genuine dragon knights.
Coupled with the month-long war, a series of problems arose within the orc army due to a lack of supplies, and they eventually had to retreat.
And this is also the origin of the title of "Eternal City" in Voladya.
Constantine then took the advice of the veteran Moss and used a divisive delay tactic against the orcs. The orc army was unable to succeed and began to collapse internally.
In July, the Vola army organized a counterattack and defeated the orc army in the Modo Plain, expelling it for 400 miles, and the war ended.
In August, he returned to the royal city with three coffins and began to take over political affairs.
Archbishop Vola took advantage of Constantine's young age to try to seize power, causing Constantine to be dissatisfied, and began to suppress the power of the Dawn Holy See in the country.
In the second year of his reign, he began to implement political and economic reforms.
In the seventh year, he married the queen of Fürth, the richest kingdom in the northwest, and annexed his country, which greatly increased his national strength, causing Tadoya to be jealous.
In the ninth year, the conflict between Constantine and the archbishop reached its highest peak, and the emperor planned to kill the archbishop.
In the same year, Tadoya declared war on Vola under the pretext of religion, and Konstantin led an army to meet it. Later, due to the political chaos that broke out in Tadoya, the two countries ceased war and signed an alliance.
In July, he led his army back, turned to the northwest, and began a great war of revenge against the orc tribes. The orc army was defeated, and Konstantin took the opportunity to advance the national border to the depths of the steppe, building four fortresses of Ladoya, Carradiga, Kavnikon, and Tama, and the famous Konstantin defense line was formed.
This is the story of Emperor Constantine, the living legend of the Vola Empire.
