Chapter 219: The Dragon Descends
While Hilcart, Blue Descartes and the others were on their mission, Iroh was naturally not idle.
In fact, his task is arguably the most important.
Previously, according to Yan's arrangement, almost all the dark camp forces in the entire Western Continent were gathered to form an alliance called "Shadow Eternal", planning to rebel against the light camp led by the metal dragon clan and the Dawn Holy See.
However, outside of the dark camp, there are still some neutral forces that can be won over, such as the target of Eloh's trip - the main member of the Hidden Ones Alliance, the last happy land of the Material School except for the Solar Light Society, the Holy Flame Tribe!
At Ailoh's speed, after only three days of flying, he was in the western part of the kingdom of Minisk.
Minisk - the most powerful of the nine kingdoms, located in the south of the Lujin Mountains, is an inland human kingdom, and is considered an ancient dynasty in the entire western continent, of course, it is still somewhat inferior to the four great empires that have lasted for thousands of years.
Knowing this, the rulers of Minisk never dared to fight the four empires after being defeated by the Havar Empire.
Instead, the king of Minisk began to settle for the status quo and wanted to be the strongest of the nine kingdoms forever.
His Majesty's greatest concern now is not Stasi's ambitions, nor the rise of Falkenridge, nor the increasingly turbulent situation on the continent.
Because for Minisk, who has a national power second only to the four empires, as long as he gives up the idea of replacing one empire and gets along with one or two empires, then there is no country that can destroy it.
The king of Minysk was troubled by a huge power that could rival the power of the state.
That is the League of Hidden Men that exists in the west of Minisk, and there is another name here - "League of Godless"!
There is only this place on this continent that dares to call it this name, and it is not too much to say that it is the most famous force in the entire Western Continent, or even in the entire main plane.
Once upon a time, this power, which now had the power to rival the power of a kingdom, belonged to a mysterious, nameless silver dragon for a long, long time. It is said that a long time ago, when the main members of the Hidden Ones Alliance, the Holy Flame Tribe, were just an ordinary small goblin race, the silver dragon descended from the sky, gifted them with the knowledge of the material school, and taught them more truths.
Over the years, these goblins have grown from a small unknown tribe to the best mixed group in the Western Continent.
Many members of the Holy Flame Tribe are not good at magic, but they have a ...... that is no less powerful than magic The power of technology!
However, the strange thing is that according to the descriptions of the local residents, in the archives of the Sacred Dragon City, the metal dragons could not find any record of the silver dragon.
What's even more strange is that the Holy Judgment Venerable, who was still serving as the Lord of the Divine Dragon City at that time, did not seem to formulate measures to deal with the Holy Flame Tribe, but instead adopted an attitude of resignation after confirming that the Holy Flame Tribe had no evil tendencies.
Because without the support of the metal dragon clan, although the Dawn Holy See has the intention to crusade against this "heretical force", on the one hand, the strength of the Holy Flame Tribe is indeed very strong, and on the other hand, there are also many dark forces in the Western Continent.
In the end, the Pope could only admit that such an approach was purely thankless.
In short, the inhabitants of this place always refer to themselves as follows: I am a subject of the Divine Silver Dragon, from the Holy Flame Tribe, the most glorious place on this continent!
There's a reason why the inhabitants of the Holy Flame Tribe are proud.
After the nameless silver dragon mysteriously disappeared like its arrival, although he had already arranged a way back for the Holy Flame Tribe, the Holy Flame Tribe, which had suddenly lost its leader, still fell into a panic.
The Kingdom of Minisk, which had long believed in this god of light and hated the Holy Flame Tribe, a "heretical force", took the opportunity to launch a conspiracy and attack against the Holy Flame Tribe for more than a hundred years.
The result was astonishing: after losing the protection of the Nameless Silver Dragon, the Holy Flame Tribe experienced a brief period of confusion, but they regained their strength at a shocking speed, and used the power of technology to fight back against the Kingdom of Minisk.
During the long Hundred Years' War, three generations of kings of Minisk died in the war against the Holy Flame Tribe for direct or indirect reasons, and the technology of some of the Holy Flame Tribe further inspired the technicians of the four empires, and directly had an important impact on the emergence of military units such as magic cannons and steam chariots that all kingdoms and principalities have access to today.
Of course, that's a bit of a long way off. However, now every original inhabitant of the Holy Flame Tribe has the blood and pride to fight against the Kingdom of Minisk.
The Kingdom of Minisk, which had experienced the pain of the skin, naturally succumbed to the irresistible fate, and the events of hundreds of years ago were gradually forgotten, and the enmity and enmity faded back to the breeze of history.
Today's Holy Flame Tribe no longer worships the nameless silver dragon that has not even left its image, and only some old people and historians are still passing on this secret history.
In addition, the Holy Flame Tribe is a free territory, and no force dares to come here to draw a circle.
As a result, murderers, political prisoners, thieves, and elopements fled here, and the population base gradually increased, plus the aborigines here, such as goblins, orcs, and some scholars of the material school, who had multiplied for hundreds of years and actually unified some nearby forces and became a behemoth called the Hidden Alliance.
At its core, the Holy Flame Tribe is the largest city outside the country, with a staggering population of two million people due to its sprawling buildings!
This can be ranked in the top three in the entire main plane - you must know that even the densely populated capital of the Havar Empire has a population of just over three million.
You said that there are too many people, the heart is in turmoil, and the city is not easy to manage? It's okay, although there are only a hundred thousand goblins of the main race here, the goblins of the Holy Flame Tribe are completely different from the other goblins on the Western Continent. If anyone dares to cause trouble, then the Magic Rifle, the Rotary Cannon, the Automatic Assault Rifle, the Steam-Powered Armor, and the Portable City-Breaking Missile will definitely let people know how terrible the Holy Flame Tribe is.
Here, every trained goblin is capable of exerting extremely powerful combat power, and when equipped with powerful enough weapons and armor, it is not difficult to match the legendary powerhouse.
From a certain point of view, the Holy Flame Tribe is still the only force on the Western Continent that can use Legendary-level combat power as consumables.
After all, compared to other forces that spend decades or even hundreds of years cultivating a legendary powerhouse, the Holy Flame Tribe only needs a few years to create equipment that can arm a goblin into a legendary existence.
It can be said that if it weren't for the Sacred Flame Tribe itself insisting on a neutral stance, it would have become one of the sources of chaos on the continent long ago.
Moreover, the above-mentioned equipment was only the regular weapons of the Holy Flame Tribe, and even the Holy Flame Tribe did not dare to take out those really deadly things.
There will be merchants for someone, not to mention places like the Holy Flame Tribe that have already declared that they can not pay transaction taxes.
On this seemingly ordinary day, a troop of traders from the south of Minisk walked into the entrance of the Holy Flame Tribe.
Walking on a seemingly ordinary road, no essential difference from any dirt road on the Western Continent, this group of merchants looked obviously natural and safe.
The Holy Flame Tribe has an informal agreement that war will never be allowed to enter, and there will never be turmoil. Every race living here must obey this covenant, or be cleared out at once!
So, you can go far away to mine, you can also sleep in the wilderness, and even outside the tall walls of the Holy Flame Tribe, there are many mechanical guards called "Floating Eyes" to protect the safety of the locals.
There will definitely be fights here, too, but the Holy Flame Tribe's gladiatorial arena can meet your requirements, and you can choose between heads-up and group ou in it.
But at this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly covered the whole team from behind.
Everyone was startled, and when they looked up, they saw a black dragon with scales shining with a little golden light looking at them indifferently, and at the same time, a fluent lingua franca spat out from the dragon's mouth: "It seems that this should be the territory of the Holy Flame Tribe." ”
The merchants looked at the dragon stupidly, and one of them nodded reluctantly.
The black dragon said with satisfaction: "That's good, goodbye." ”
After speaking, the huge figure of the black dragon swept into the black shadow in the distance, and the merchants were still staring into the distance in a daze.
A businessman glared at his friend, "You saw it too? ”
The other party met the customer's requirements 300 percent, and the former screamed loudly over the area.
"The Holy Flame Tribe still has dragons visiting?"
"It looks like a colored dragon, remember that the Holy Flame Tribe used to be the territory of metal dragons, they won't fight, right?"
"Even if there is a fight, I think the black dragon is unlucky!"
Naturally, Iroh didn't care about the conversations of these merchants.
Flying over a small valley, the vision suddenly opens up.
The entire Holy Flame Tribe is located on a vast field, a large river surrounds the city, winding so that there is no end in sight, on the other side of the river is a wide slope, and the place near the water is covered with lush aquatic plants - although the Holy Flame Tribe is famous for its superb material school technology, but if you only look at it from outside the city, it will not make people feel that this is the holy land of the material school at all.
The young dragon continued on his way, his rapid speed causing his massive body to form an afterimage in the air.
In less than a minute, the city that flew up a long slope and was almost impossible to see was finally completely revealed.
Iroh floated quietly above the main entrance in the south of the city, his wide, slender black wings flapping slowly up and down in the air, his long elegant neck slightly sideways, and his huge eyes looked at this glorious city.
From afar, I saw that the whole city was divided into two parts, the outer city was mainly set up with various defense facilities, and the inner city was the real city.
All kinds of artillery and other turrets can be seen towering on the walls of the inner and outer cities, although this level of defense is indeed a bit unsightly for Ello, who has reached the demigod level, but for ordinary people, it is absolutely impregnable.
In the distance, the inner city is lined with buildings, and the streets are crisscrossed by goblins' unique steam locomotives, and pedestrians are constantly coming and going.
In the middle of the well-divided complex is a 100-meter-high building.
