Chapter 90: The Dragon King
The "disappearance" of the hunting king Niltye hastened the defeat of the headhunters. In the joint strangulation of the Steam Titans and the Forest Elves, the hunting angels who broke into the city were eliminated one by one, and the remaining hunters could not afford to make a big storm.
Outside the city, the attacking headhunters had to choose to retreat after sending a large number of heads. The royal court patrols took the opportunity to launch a wave of counter-attacks and eliminated a large number of headhunters.
An unprecedented victory greatly encouraged the forest elves, and with the help of the Golden Shield Empire, the bold strategy of taking the initiative was put on the desk of the Three Leaf King.
The lakeside meeting was held, and one of the elders said, "Your Majesty! In this battle, we not only succeeded in defending the royal court, but also severely damaged the main force of the headhunters. The Hunting Angel King Niltye was trapped in the Mystic Arts, and two more Hunting Kings were killed by our warriors during the war.
Now is the weakest moment for the headhunters, if we give them time to replenish, the queen of hunting will quickly make up for the lost headhunters, and then we will fall into passive defense again. ”
Another elder also echoed and said, "Your Majesty...... The Golden Shield Empire's First Auxiliary Meteor has arrived at the Emerald Court. He brought with him the super-heavy steam airship, the Steam Titan, which is showing us the strength of the Empire.
If we don't take this opportunity to eliminate the headhunters, the Golden Shield Empire will inevitably force us to agree to their terms, and the Emerald Forest will be brought into the conflict between the Empire and the Glittering Golden People. ”
This view was endorsed by some elders.
The Golden Shield Empire used this war to perfectly display the high-end forces they mastered, and these high-end forces were obviously prepared to fight against the Glittering Gold People.
The Imperial Primary's Meteor certainly didn't come to the Emerald Forest to talk about aid, and aid didn't need to bring so many advanced Steam Titans and a steam airship similar to an Aerial Fortress. He wanted to pull the Emerald Forest into the camp of the Golden Shield Empire and challenge the Glittering Gold People, one of the five ancient civilizations.
This is definitely not in the interest of the Emerald Forest.
King Shamrock sat on his throne and pondered, and after a while asked the attendants behind him, "Are the Falling Star Shoufu and the people he brought in place?" ”
The attendant replied, "After the battle, Meteorite Shousuke took the Kirov steam airship to Emerald Harbor and stayed with the Golden Shield Empire's fleet. The Steam Titans who participated in the battle also returned to the docks without disturbing the order of the royal court.
The royal palace obeyed your will and sent a condolence to the Kirov steam airship. Those who went there came back to report: Meteorite Shousuke expresses his gratitude to Your Majesty. But there was no request for a meeting, and it seemed that he was in no hurry to come to Emerald Lake. ”
"It seems that the Falling Star Shousuke also knows that his arrival will cause us a lot of trouble, and gives us the choice of not seeing." The Shamrock King said to the elders, "We know very little about the Hunting Clan, and we don't even know the exact location of the Hunting Empress's lair. The Jade Magic Academy sent a message, hunting the Empress's lair is in the Horsehair area of the Unicorn Mountain Range, what is your estimate of the winning rate of the active attack? ”
Shamrock King's question silenced the meeting.
The forest elves are really in a dilemma this time, I don't know what is behind the window for hunters this time, and I don't know what harsh treaties the Golden Shield Empire has brought.
After a while, an elder voiced his opinion: "Your Majesty, I don't think the opportunity to counterattack the headhunters should be given up easily. Even if we can't attack the Queen's lair, we must actively eliminate the Headhunters and slow them down to resize. Moreover, our victory on the battlefield will allow us to have more room for autonomy in negotiations with the Golden Shield Empire. ”
This suggestion went to the heart of the king of the three leaves.。
"That's right! Whether it is facing a powerful headhunter or a powerful Golden Shield Empire, we should not turn ourselves into the fruits of their harvest, but strive for more choices for the future of the forest elves. After thinking about it for a moment, the Shamrock King ordered: "Send some more specialties of the Emerald Forest to the Falling Star Shousuke." Tell him that I am busy with the restoration of order in the city after the war, and I do not have time for a formal meeting with him for the time being, and ask him to wait for a while......
Order the royal court patrol to immediately organize elite forces to pursue the defeated headhunters, and not give them a chance to regroup. Send the Emerald Lake Guard to infiltrate the Horsehair District of the Unicorn Mountains to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the area around the Hunt Empress's lair.
Order the royal court's alchemy factory to increase the research and development and manufacturing of flying alchemy puppets, and no longer allow the headhunters to easily break into the royal court from the sky. ”
"Obey, Your Majesty!"
One by one, the royal decrees were passed out, and the lakeside meeting continued to discuss how to clean up the ruins of the city as soon as possible and restore order to the royal court.
At this time, aboard the Kirov, Lady Mihir is reporting to Luke on her work and diplomacy during her visit to the Emerald Court.
Luke stood by the window, a huge mushroom cloud solidifying at the edge of the distant city, which sealed the Hunting King Niltje.
Lady Mihir said on the side, "Eighty-four percent of the first batch of aid has been handed over to the Emerald Court, and the overall favorability of the forest elves towards the empire has increased significantly. It's just that Emerald Lake is still very wary of the empire, and the Shamrock King is very sensitive to political topics.
I followed your instructions and did not make a stand-up request to the Emerald Forest, and the response of the Shamrock King to technical cooperation was still very positive.
This is the alchemy technical cooperation statistics that we have already negotiated, and I believe that with these cooperations, the development capacity of the magic guide laboratory in Angry Waves City can be greatly improved. ”
Mihir presented a document.
Luke took it and looked at it page by page.
"Madam, you have done a very good job, and you are a great contributor to the empire's journey by implementing these alchemy technical cooperation. Next, your job is to continue to dig deeper into the potential of cooperation in technology, magic technology is an untapped blue ocean, the more we have technical reserves, the more things can be explored. ”
"I understand, Shousuke-sama. I saw the Wizard Titan you piloted, and it was a miracle, maybe we can really create gods with Wizard technology. ”
Mrs. Mihir set her eyes on the "mushroom" in the distance. During the war, she saw the demeanor of the Magical Titan, and was fully equipped to fight the backbone of five ancient civilizations. This means that the Golden Shield Empire not only has the ability to challenge the golden civilization at the economic and political level, but also has the confidence to no longer allow the five civilizations to descend on the imperial palace at will.
This pride cannot be concealed.
A sense of purpose has sublimated Mrs. Michiel's purpose in politics, from her greed for power to her ambition to etch her name in history.
With the leadership of the Meteorite Shousuke, we will finally be able to bring the brightest light of the Terran civilization!
Faith made Mrs. Michiel feel as if her whole person was glowing.
"Maybe we can do it in the future, but for now we have to have a perfect end in the Emerald Forest," Luke said. Emerald Lake sent something, but the Shamrock King didn't say that he had any intention of meeting me as soon as possible, and he still had concerns. ”
Lady Mihir played the role of a staff member and analyzed: "According to what I know about the Emerald Court during this time, there are many factions within the forest elves. There are those who support the proximity to human civilization, and there are those who want to return to the forest. Those who are close to human civilization have different degrees of acceptance, and those who want to return to the forest have different degrees of radicalism.
Now as the elves living in the forest flee into the Emerald Court, the strength of the Forest Sect has increased a lot, and their influence on the Emerald Lake will become more and more serious. Although the Shamrock King can still suppress the Forest Sect, he can definitely feel the pressure increase. ”
After listening to this, Luke said, "Countless histories have taught us that the greater the momentum forward, the greater the resistance. I believe that the Shamrock King, who chose to integrate into human civilization at the beginning, will not give up a civilization destined to be brilliant because of this resistance.
Faced with the headhunters, he chose to burn the forest, breaking many of his decrees to balance the forest elves. Therefore, we must believe that this ruler, who has the same long-term vision as Augustine the Great, give him a little time, and let the forest elves see clearly the path they will take in the future. ”
"Shousuke-sama, we are impressed by your vision of where the world is heading. I'm going to oversee the handover of Imperial aid now, and get out of port as soon as possible so that the second aid can arrive. ”
"Go ahead!"
Lady Mihir leaves, and Karina comes up behind Luke.
"Lord Shousuke, Princess Daile left the airship and entered the city to help rescue the survivors crushed in the ruins, and a team of Imperial agents has followed."
"Got it, just let the secret agents who follow protect Her Royal Highness and don't interfere with her."
"Yes, Shousuke-sama."
Luke added, "I'm going to be away for a while, don't let anyone else know I'm not on the airship, you should know how to do it." ”
"I know how to do it, Shousuke-sama. But if there is an emergency, how do I notify you? ”
"Send to the Emerald Magic Academy, Shelley is there."
"I see, Shousuke-sama."
After explaining to Karina, Luke made his way to one of the airship's side doors alone.
He pulled the door open, and the air rushed in, blowing his shirt flying. He looked out to see the Kirov steam airship hovering in the airspace outside Emerald Harbor, and the various ships coming and going in the harbor below.
Luke made a goodbye gesture to Karina and leaped out.
His body made a free fall motion towards the sea below, his speed getting faster and faster, the air whisking on his cheeks, and the wind whistling in his ears. Then the dragon-shaped mask wrapped around his head, and then the dragon armor attached to him layer by layer, and the fire flowed on the surface of the red armor and the gold edge.
At the moment when he was about to plunge headlong into the sea, a pair of dragon wings spread out on the back of the dragon armor.
Luke made the turn against the water.
Four magic arrays spread around him, runes swirling in the magic array, and four eruptions of flame propelled Luke forward with a rapid flight.
A sound wave exploded with a ring of air, and Luke broke through the speed of sound and set off a huge white wave on the surface of the water.
Emerald Magic Academy.
The retreat of the headhunters gave Professor Makatina, who had returned from the Unicorn Mountains, finally a chance to enter the academy.
The news of the Queen of the Clear Sky alone searching for the Queen's lair made Dean Vidal's joy at defeating the Headhunters instantly pull out the cold.
In Library One, which is being urgently rebuilt, Dean Vidal confronts Professor Makatina, "Why don't you stop her!" How could you make such a serious mistake! ”
Professor Macatina reproached herself, "I'm sorry, Dean. I...... I've tried my best......"
Dean Vidal asked the sheriff and the night again, "You didn't stop the clear sky either...... Miss Starry Sky? ”
A cat and a mouse glanced at each other, and they were also very worried about the safety of the clear sky: "This is Miss Starry Sky's order, but we all believe that Miss will come back safe and sound." ”
"If Miss Starry Sky is safe, I think she will come back sooner than you!" Shelley on the side said, she stared at the two little guys: "If Miss Starry Sky really has an accident, Shousuke-sama will definitely not let you go." ”
The sheriff and the dark night lowered their heads, not daring to refute.
Shelley knew that it was useless to blame the two of them at this time, so he said to Dean Bidal: "Let me take an army, and I will save Miss Starry!" ”
Dean Vidal looked up at the rebuilt library, wondering if what he was doing now made sense.
"I'm going to Emerald Lake and tell Your Majesty about this. We must do everything we can to determine what is the current situation of Miss Starry Sky! ”
As Dean Vidal walked out of the library, a deafening dragon roar rang out from all directions. Then a black dragon descended from the sky and landed steadily on the open ground in front of the library.
The wind set off by the dragon's wings brought up sand and gravel to fascinate everyone's eyes, and when the wind passed, they saw a man wearing dragon armor standing on the back of the black dragon Bariel.
A dragon mightier than the black dragon Bariel burst out from the man.
Black Dragon Bariel introduced: "This is the gluttonous king of our dragon kingdom, who has brought you the news of Miss Starry Sky. ”
Luke floated up from the back of the black dragon Baliel and slowly floated in front of Dean Vidal.
When Dean Vidal was a child, the Emerald Forest had not yet fully become independent from the control of the Dragon Kingdom. As a result, Vidal has seen many dragons, including ancient dragons.
He could feel the gluttonous king in front of him, who seemed to be human, exuding the aura of an ancient dragon all over his body.
At the same time, he also remembered some news from the Golden Shield Empire.
The Dragon Nation sent two ancient dragons to build a dragon's nest in the Golden Shield Empire's Shenglun City, and one of the ancient dragons was this gluttonous king with a human appearance.
Dean Vidal saluted the floating Luke: "Welcome to the Emerald Magic Academy!" Excuse me, where is Miss Starry Sky now? ”
Luke put on the pride of the dragons and his contempt for the low-level creatures, and said, "Miss Starry Sky has refined a peerless sword for me, and I owe her a great favor, so I will bring you a piece of news for her."
Miss Starry Sky is under siege in the Queen's lair...... He's dead! ”
"Ahh
Without waiting for everyone's mentality to pull up and their emotions to be in place, Luke continued: "However, the World Tree took Miss Starry Sky in time and resurrected her. ”
"Ahh
"Now that Miss Starry Sky is in the Moonlight Royal Court, it will take a long time for her body to recover, so it is estimated that there is no way to come here."
"Ahh
"But Miss Starry Sky told me the exact location of the Queen's lair!"
"Ahh
