Chapter 60: Sealing the Dragon Through the Ages
Soldiers, treacherous ways.
This sentence can be said to be the most classic sentence today. In fact, it has only been a few hundred years since this phrase was invented today.
Before the Middle Ages, the wars of the continents were the most powerful. Especially in the honor of chivalry, war is a complete duel of strength for any general.
In the wars of that time, there was even such a thing as an appointment war -- that is, inviting the opponent to a fixed battlefield to fight it out. When two countries go to war, the outcome of the war is often decided by several battles between the main forces. In a large-scale battle, the two sides will invest tens of thousands of soldiers in more than 10 arms at one time.
At that time, the whole concept of war was more at the campaign level, and at the strategic level, it was generally manifested in the occupation of a certain key resource city, etc., and a perfect theory of large-scale war had not yet been established. There are also those who call the theory of war before the Middle Ages: the theory of pre-war.
The pre-war theory was completely overturned during the "War of the Gods". At that time, the traditional continental powers, such as the Amy Empire, the Mercenary Empire, the Theseus Empire, the Desert Empire, etc., were still in the pre-war stage. The Phanos soldiers from the wilderness, especially some of them orc and half-orc officers who have been ignorant and civilized for less than a hundred years, have no so-called chivalry in their minds, they are like wild beasts, everything they do is under the control of instinct - hunting and survival!
As descendants, we can clearly see that at that time, the powerful countries of the Eminole Continent collapsed one after another in less than two years under the strong attack of the orcs. One of the core reasons is not the tip of the shield spear of the Phanos Legion, nor how strong the attack power of the orcs is. It is a completely new theory of war, bullying a backward theory of war.
Fortunately, the small mercenary group of four people appeared on the stage to turn the tide. Mercenaries are not knights, and honor students who graduate from knight schools may not be able to survive among mercenaries, and human dragon gods and Horns are certainly not pedantic knights.
The surging river of war, where they appeared, gently turned a corner -- history changed.
-- Chapter 60 of the Thirteenth Chapter of the Art of War, "Your Excellency, who is you!, show your identity or other physical evidence!" The squadron leader on duty rode over on a phantom beast. He had already seen the new Gyeonggi general, Count Lin, come over with several generals, and of course he didn't want to be reprimanded for the stranger in front of him.
"Me?" said the middle-aged man with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth: "I'm just an ordinary passer-by, seeing this gentleman sleeping in the grass on the side of the road, it's just a nosy thing for a while." He asked me to send him back, and since he did, there was nothing to do with me. After saying that, the middle-aged man pushed the drunken Long to the two little mercenaries, turned his head and was about to leave.
"Stop! Is it possible that the imperial military camp is where you want to come?" is not that the captain of the infantry brigade of the Colorful Dragon Knights is nervous, in wartime, the easiest to be ignored and the most likely to bring great harm is actually the pervasive secret agent, in the face of the problem of secret agents, most soldiers agree with the principle of "there is a mistake, there is no mistake", which is also a written rule of the empire. The cold bayonet sword in the squadron leader's hand was already on the middle-aged man's shoulder.
Amy walked over quickly and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Squadron Leader, please don't be unreasonable to this gentleman, he is an ally of the small mercenary group. ”
Most of the middle and high-ranking officers in the Gyeonggi Theater knew Amy, and of course they knew the location of His Excellency Amy, and the squadron leader originally wanted to let him go immediately, but considering the thoughts of the current Gyeonggi general, he turned around and asked for instructions with his eyes. Of course, Earl Linhe will not doubt Amy: "Since you are an ally of the small mercenary group, then you are really sorry, let it go." ”
The middle-aged man turned his head with a smile and thanked Amy. Then he and a few little mercenaries helped Long back to the tent, and when he passed by Amy's side, he said with a smile: "I'm fine these days, come and see the excitement, please forgive me." ”
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Amy's mouth, and she asked the small mercenary group members around her to give up a tent for the middle-aged man alone.
Also showing a wry smile were Count Lin and other military bigwigs, after all, there was a Chi family between him and Amy before, but he didn't expect that under the leadership of the first direct state, Amy would actually ...... It seems that he is hiding a lot of things, and it is clear that there is something wrong with this matter, but he just doesn't say it, and there is no reason to order him to say it. This is simply not possible in the management of the regular army, and it seems that the headaches are still bearable. The earl regretted a little that he didn't bring Lin Yushang to seal the dragon platform, and there was a trace of unhappiness in his heart, could it be ...... After stepping out of the shadow of Count Chi Hanfeng, Amy is now a new generation of upstarts that cannot be ignored in the empire. Many people, when they are relatively weak, tend to maintain a lot of humility, and when the opportunity suddenly comes to them, they often show a different appearance after having power. Don't...... Is that the same for young Amy?, Earl Lin tried to erase his own thoughts.
After the drunken Long saw Amy, he suddenly became extremely calm, just like a normal person, he simply said hello to Amy, and returned to his tent to fall asleep.
Everything was calm again, as if looking at the sea from afar, and no matter how many waves were hidden under the surface of the sea, at least the sea was calm.
Two days later, the last auspicious day in the first half of the sixth year of the magic calendar was able to seal the dragon.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, the distant sky had just turned white, and the Imperial military camp was already busy. All those who participated in the dragon sealing had already finished their breakfast and gathered in front of the barracks.
In the darkness, the Red Stone Emperor and several officers from the military department who were also going to participate in the Dragon Sealing Ceremony walked quickly, and Count Lin ordered the heads of each squad to count the number of people and then set off.
are all in Fenglongtai, and the military camp is still more than 2 miles away from the real Fenglong location. This generation is all cliffs, and there is basically no need to worry about encountering enemy attacks, and the cautious Earl Lin still ordered all the phantom beast knights to take to the air.
Soon after the red sun in the eastern sky jumped out of the ground, all the dragon sealers had already arrived at the dragon sealing platform.
Most people are coming for the first time, Fenglongtai, 4,982 meters above sea level, located in the middle of the peaks of the Messis Mountains, originally a straight up and down peak, with a height of nearly 6,800 meters. It is said that during the Great War of Demon Martial Arts, he was struck by a golden lightning bolt, and the mountain peaks burst apart, eventually forming one. It is covered with snow and ice all year round, and the snow is white in front of you, and the wind is very strong, and even if you are wearing thick leather, the cold air slowly pierces the bone marrow through the cracks in your clothes, encouraged by the strong wind.
There is a huge bronze tripod in the middle of the dragon platform, the tripod is one meter high, two ears and six feet, the left ear is hung with the bronze statue of the creator god, the right ear is hung with the bronze statue of the dragon god Pyrot, and the six copper feet are carved with the six dragons of wind, water, ice, fire, gold and darkness. Before and after the tripod, the contents of the dragon book are carved in ancient elf language and human language respectively.
The attendant held a bundle of sandalwood and put it into the giant tripod, the redstone emperor lit the sandalwood in his hand, worshiped the copper tripod three times, and then threw the sandalwood into the copper tripod, and more sandalwood in the tripod began to rise a stream of green smoke, and the wind quickly rolled the cigarette away without a trace.
The two young soldiers held the dragon flute in both hands, stood next to the tripod and slowly blew.
Humans can't hear the music of the dragon flute, but dragons can.
Just a few breaths later, in all directions, there was a sudden sound of a high, cool or low dragon moan, colorful clouds gushing out from different mountain peaks, and the snow on dozens of snow peaks that had not melted for thousands of years was shaken downward by the roar and collapsed...... The entire peak of Mis seems to have moved......
The speed of the dragon's chant was extremely fast, and there were continuous thunderbolts, rolling from a great distance, and a huge wave had just whistled away from the Dragon Sealing Platform, followed by a wave surging in another direction. No one had ever heard so many dragon moans, and on the dragon sealing platform, the dragon sealers looked at their partners and wanted to say something, only to find that they couldn't even hear their own voices when they shouted in their throats......
The roar of the dragon changed the colors of the heavens and the earth, white, red, blue, green...... Colorful clouds rolled in from all directions, crashing together on the dragon sealing platform, tearing each other apart.
Then, a dragon appeared in the distant sky......
The two cyan fifth-order dragons, which were almost integrated with the blue sky, came to the sky above the dragon sealing platform at the same time with a cyan tail shadow like wind, like lightning, like a meteor, and after a few breaths, the sound of the wind dragon's giant wings flapping in the extreme distance followed with the sound of air waves. The two wind dragons were obviously old acquaintances, ignoring the humans below, and at the same time let out bursts of excited chirps and flew up and down the sky rapidly.
Dozens of breaths later, the three-headed fourth-order wind dragon, the two fifth-order ice dragons, and the three-headed water dragon roared behind their feet, and then, the golden clouds rolled, and a golden fifth-order dragon rushed to the air with a scorching air current.
After dozens of breaths, several petite third-order wind dragons descended with a series of joyful chirps. More fourth-order, third-order, and even a few second-order wind dragons danced wildly.
The dragons above the fourth order, like adult humans, were more mature and steady, nodding to each other, and fell behind the bronze tripod of the Fenglongtai in turn. The third-order dragons knew that this matter had nothing to do with them, so they came to watch the excitement, and most of them quietly fell behind the high-order dragons, keeping a certain distance. The wisdom of the two-order dragon is only equivalent to that of a ten-year-old human being, and the two little dragons are constantly playing in the air and making a series of laughs, and it is estimated that they are the descendants of a certain wind dragon on the scene - and only the wind dragon can fly when it is two orders.
As the dragon fell, the Redstone Emperor and the officers of the Imperial War Department frowned slightly—it seemed as if something was missing. The guard who counted the numbers on the side closed the notepad, ran over, and whispered to the monarchs and ministers: "Your Majesty...... Originally, there were three fifth-order fire-type dragons and five fourth-order fire-type dragons in the Dragon Garden, but none of them came. ”
Oh?
The Imperial Monarch immediately remembered what had happened two days ago...... can only be described with such words as despicable, as a dragon knight, it is really disgraceful to use such a method.
Most of the participants in the dragon sealing were extremely intelligent or relatively sensitive, and almost all of them understood what was going on in an instant, and some people were already talking about it below.
Forget it, even if there is such an accident, it can't affect Feng Long, just write down this matter, everyone here has a chance to get it back in the future.
The Redstone Emperor straightened his clothes again and strode forward, just about to give a speech on sealing the dragon.
Suddenly, the red clouds flashed again in the distant sky, and immediately after, two irritable dragon moans, one light and one heavy, sounded at the same time.
"Protect Your Majesty!" Count Lin whispered to the phantom beast boy beside him. The Red Divine Dragon joined the Burmese Empire, and what has been learned is that these two Red Dragons are also relatives of the Fire Divine Dragon Envoy Red Night, so it is better to take some precautions.
The two Phantom Beast Boys chanted in a low voice, summoning their own Phantom Beasts while holding their spears under their armpits.
One large and one small fire dragon chasing the stars and catching the moon generally comes from the distant sky, and what can be distinguished by the naked eye is that the one flying in front is a third-order fire dragon, and the one flying behind is a fifth-order adult dragon.
Seeing the many other dragons on the giant dragon platform, the third-order fire dragon let out a joyful dragon groan, gathered its giant wings, and rushed in like a firebird, hiding behind the two fifth-order wind dragons. The fifth-order fire dragon was suspended in the air, the red dragon's breath slowly gushing in its mouth, pointing at the young dragon, and a series of dragon words rolled out, echoing repeatedly in the valley.
The young giant* did not show weakness, poked his head out from under the wings of the wind dragon, and threw back the irascible and high-pitched dragon words one by one.
The other four-series dragons listened and listened, and their faces showed disdain, and they were pointing at the dragons in the sky with their hands, as if they were ...... The dragon is driving the people*.
The humans in the audience were stunned, and the Redstone Emperor had a wry smile on his face, no one had ever really sealed a dragon, of course...... There has never been historical data on this subject, how can it ...... And the dragon in a meeting? Looks like ...... It seems that many dragons are counting the red dragons in the sky, which shouldn't be a bad thing, but in case the dragons also have speech lovers, when will the dragon sealing ceremony be held?
The situation on the Dragon Sealing Platform suddenly changed, and the red dragon roared and gushed out a dark red dragon's breath...... Fire Dragon's Breath...... The faces of the humans in the audience changed, according to the known information, such a dragon breath is enough to reimburse everyone on the dragon sealing platform.
Unfortunately, the irascible fire dragon forgot the enemy he was facing, and a fifth-order blue dragon and a fifth-order green dragon soared into the air at the same time, followed by a low chant in the sky, and the blue and green magic elves roared out, forming a huge enchantment in the air, and the dark red dragon's breath disappeared after being surrounded by the enchantment.
What are you kidding, at the same level, two natural dragons have eaten fire dragons, not to mention that there is a nest of dragons below.
The furious fire dragon roared and fell, and pounced on the third-order fire dragon, and the two cyan wind dragons with equally large bodies stood up and blocked the dragon at the same time with their huge wings.
The three huge dragon heads confronted each other viciously, the red dragon's mouth kept cursing in a low voice, and the red dragon's breath was gushing, but the wind dragon didn't care at all, and the faint wind spirit was already visible to the naked eye.
The more the red dragon spoke, the more angry it became, and suddenly, a series of extremely high screams were sent out towards the sky, and the huge dragon body jumped into the sky, and at the moment when it was about to disappear, the huge body of the dragon beast flipped 180 degrees in the air and rushed vertically to the ground.
Yes!
In the midst of everyone's exclamations, the fire dragon fell heavily on the dragon sealing platform like a fiery red meteor, and the red blood flew in all directions!
No one could have imagined that Feng Long ...... Such a thing could happen.
The faces of the many dragons showed a trace of unbearability......
The third-order fire dragon that was roaring at the dragon just now suddenly rushed out from behind the wind dragon and pounced on the fire dragon, and a low cry sounded.
Until this point, most humans did not react - the two dragons were probably father and son or some other similar blood relationship.
In mid-air, a red lightning bolt suddenly fell, slashing at the third-order young dragon, very strangely, the lightning did not disappear immediately, but was tightly wrapped around the body of the young dragon like a power grid, and the aroma of roasted meat permeated, and the fiery red little dragon's face obviously showed a painful look, and there was a low mournful roar.
The other dragons shunned him, and no dragon dared to help him. The young dragon's eyes were red, and it rolled on the dragon sealing platform with a cry of pain, hoping to avoid the lightning, but ...... The lightning seemed to be manipulated by a god, and followed closely behind. With a bang, the huge dragon body rolled down from the dragon sealing platform, and here were all the nobles who participated in the dragon sealing, and the two nobles wanted to help the young dragon, but they were immediately stabbed by the red lightning, and their faces showed a painful expression, screaming and dodging.
The other nobles got out of the way, and in the snow, the young dragon screamed and rolled into the mercenary's camp, a bold white-clothed mercenary lowered his body to support the young dragon, and the lightning instantly coiled up, and the young mercenary's face immediately showed the degree of pain, and he bit his lower lip fiercely, and after a few breaths, a trace of red blood oozed from under the young man's lips.
At this moment, the young mercenary suddenly drew his big sword from his back, and a dark blue light pierced the eyes of everyone present, and in trembling, the big sword in the young mercenary's hand slashed fiercely at the red lightning, and the red lightning broke off in response!
There was a murmur of surprise in the sky, and then a larger lightning dragon swooped down like a giant net, knocking the boy and young dragon to the ground.
"Let that mercenary, fulfill the dragon knight's oath! Quick!" a familiar voice suddenly came from Amy's side.
