Chapter Ninety-Six: The Storm is Coming
Guardian of the stars and moon, Hall of Elders.
A three-dimensional magical map of light shows the scene around the Heart of the Ocean tens of thousands of miles away.
Terran Elder Fidel pointed to the magic map in front of him and introduced, "This is the latest progress of the Sea Clan Magic Array from Norlando and Khan, it seems that we should be ready to start." β
"The construction of the Sea Tribe is progressing much faster than we expected, and with their accidental exposure in Norlando keeping the Sea Tribe on guard, our next move has become more difficult. The elven woman frowned slightly.
"Driven by the huge power of the Heart of the Ocean and guided by the power of space, the magic array pattern is subtle and direct, and the Sea Clan's research on the magic array has indeed improved a lot in the past tens of thousands of years!" the silver dragon Nicholas sighed around the magic map.
"Nicholas, it's not for you to appreciate the Sea Clan's magic array, it's for you to figure out how to destroy this magic array!" the elven old woman reminded the silver dragon dissatisfiedly.
"Haha, dragons are always obsessed with beautiful things. As for destroying it, there was still time, and even after the completion of a magic array of this size, it would take a long time to prepare before it could be activated. β
"Then when do you think we should act, after all, it takes time to mobilize the strong from all races. β
"We don't need to mobilize a large number of strong people from various races, the Sea Clan is now prepared, a large-scale attack may not be effective, only a small team of elite forces needs to destroy the magic array at a critical moment. β
"With a magic array of this scale, it would be difficult to stop the magic array from running if it only destroyed a few points, and it would be useless to send only a small team to cause destructive power. "Among the elders of the various clans, Field is also quite profound in the study and attainment of the magic array.
Nicholas smiled: "As long as you have the right timing, when the magic array is activated, you can attack the core of the magic array, and the destructive power caused will be enough to destroy the entire magic array!"
The elven old woman couldn't help but exclaim, "No, Nicholas, you are playing with fire, if we miss the timing and fail to prevent the magic array from breaking the seal, the demons will return to the continent!"
"Don't get so excited, Anastia. This is the first time that the dragon has called the elven old woman by her name, "Listen to me, the current state of the various races, we do not have the ability to unite the various races to wage an all-out war against the sea tribe. Small-scale raids are our only option, and success or failure is a battle of luck. If we lose, it means that the luck of the Beland Continent is no longer on our side, and the debts owed by the various ethnic groups back then will have to be repaid sooner or later. β
After Nicholas finished speaking, the entire hall of elders fell into a long silence......
......
Arantis, the Sky Firm.
The big shopkeeper held a teacup and closed his eyes in front of his desk in contemplation.
"The losses have been counted, only one expedition team has returned, and the space ore brought back is only a small half bag. The masked Tsing Yi guard whispered outside the study door.
The big shopkeeper put down the teacup and rubbed his eyebrows, "What the hell are these orcs crazy about? Is there any news from Debrasi's side? Is it really a coincidence this time?"
"It should have been a coincidence, the bloody tooth blade that caused the orcs to scramble has been lost for a while, but the news has only broken out intensively during this period of time. But it is not excluded that some people are fueling the situation and deliberately targeting us. β
The big shopkeeper sighed softly, "Did Debracy find any clues over there?"
"The source is not from Mr. Dai's side, but from the Orc Wasteland, where the youngest son of the lion king Eliot also died in the Crater of Odds, and it was Arthur who killed him. β
"Arthur, how could he be there?"
The Tsing Yi guard shook his head, "I don't know about this. However, because his son was killed, the lion king has already begun to think about it, and this time he contacted us in the hope of negotiating conditions. β
"It was a bonus. You will be responsible for this matter in the future, and you only need to report it to me alone. β
"Yes. The Tsing Yi guard bowed and replied.
"As for the space stones needed by the Sea Clan, if there are not enough of them, they will be replenished from the storage warehouse of the trading house, and the specific matters will be handled by Kolorid. β
The Tsing Yi guards retreated silently.
The big shopkeeper shook his head and sneered, "It's naΓ―ve to think that this little thing can be stopped." β
......
Singaluru, Royal Palace.
Strachey let out a disdainful sneer after reading the letter in his hand, and handed it to Jace, the intelligence chief beside him, "Let the two archdukes also take a look." β
The fighting on the border between Locke and Norman was temporarily calm, and with Prince Rex at the front, Streich returned to Singaruru. At this time, there were two archdukes, Palmer and Rose, sitting on the side of his desk.
After reading it, Grand Duke Palmer sighed softly, "Earl Jiayong is not on the Norman front, why did he run away to the Orc Wasteland and kill one of Elliot's sons?"
Grand Duke Ross on the side laughed and said: "Arthur's kid has never been a person who follows the rules, he made a lot of limelight on the battlefield in the early stage, and then there has been no news of him for more than half a year." β
"But I don't know what Eliot meant by sending this letter, he ought to know that His Majesty would not be threatened by this?" said Archduke Palmer, slightly puzzled.
"The Golden Lion has been constrained by the Blood Flame Blue Wolf in recent years, and it should not be fully prepared for war, so this letter should be a delaying tactic. Now we're ready for an all-out war with the orcs. Archduke Ross analyzed.
Grand Duke Palmer stood up and said, "I'll rush back to the Frost Thunder Legion to prepare." Although it was right to kill the son of the lion king, Count Jiayong provoked a war at this time, putting the kingdom in a situation of war on two fronts, so Count Arthur could not stay out of the next battle with the orcs. β
The reason why Archduke Palmer wanted to pull Arthur was because he heard that Shino was with Arthur now, and what the Frost Thunder Legion lacked now was high-end combat power.
Stritch sighed lightly, "Count Jiayong has caused a lot of trouble to this king this time, but if you want to do something extraordinary, you must use extraordinary people!"
Arthur is involved in too many things behind his back, the friction with the Church of Light, and the close relationship with the dark magician, as the king of a country and has a huge intelligence network, how can Streich not know? But for the king, what is more important is profit, as long as Arthur can bring benefits to the kingdom and does not touch Streich's bottom line, he can turn a blind eye to what Arthur does.
When the two archdukes thought that Strachey was about to reprimand Arthur, the king suddenly spoke: "Spread my will, Count Jiayong has repeatedly performed miraculous feats on the battlefield of the Tonghai Clan, and in order to show the prestige of the soldiers of our kingdom, I am specially promoted to the first rank of Earl Jiayong, as the second-class marquis of the kingdom, and the fief is three thousand miles east of the Great Rift Valley." β
Archduke Palmer and Archduke Ross looked at each other and laughed in unison, and Streich pushed Arthur to the front line of the Orc border with a reward......
