214: Poor Count of the Rhine
Aristotle, the Royal Magister Star Traveler, is the spiritual leader of the Olympia League, but his fate is uncertain and his whereabouts have never been found. When everyone learned of this, their feelings were a little low.
At this time, Elrens suddenly spoke: "Bucephalas has returned not long ago, and although his life is fine, his whole body is wounded. I don't know where Master Aristotle has gone, but I guess it's a lot of bad luck!"
Bucephalas is Emperor Alexander's monster mount, a one-horned horse. Ever since the emperor fell unconscious, it has followed Aristotle's side. In the previous magic showdown, the Star Traveler took Bucephalas to fight together and unfortunately lost, the unicorn Pegasus is a very spiritual magical beast, and under normal circumstances, he will never leave his master to flee alone, but now that Bucephalas has returned, Aristotle still has no news, this situation feels really bad. The emotions of the people, who had been raised because of the smooth progress of the breakout campaign, were now a little depressed by the disappearance of Master Aristotle.
Even the dragon, who had always had a non-caring attitude, was very unhappy, and after the death of the Star Traveler, the head of the mages in the Olympia League became Diogenes of the Banner of Light, and it was undisputed that he would take over the title of Chief Archmage. However, Elrens had a time with this equally powerful legendary magician, when the dragon wreaked havoc in the kingdom of Corinth, and it was the sneak attack of Diogenes that caused him to return home and even lose all his magic. Although Elrens has now regained his strength, this resentment has not been completely let go. I am afraid that it will be difficult for the two sides to live together peacefully.
It is said that the Radiant Banner Master has entered the Thermosense Pass Fortress with reinforcements from the southern states, preparing to reorganize Pera's breakout army in this strategic place to block the enemy's advance. Elrens does not plan to clash with Diogenes at this critical juncture. But he was unwilling to swallow his anger, so he decided to break through and part ways with Pera's main force and return to his own land, Illyria.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the right side of the hall. There are two people sitting here in despair, one is Ludwig VI, Count of the Rhine, who was captured by the ancient bone dragon Seymus, the demon pet of Elrens, after the Great Battle of Magic. The poor Earl had inherited the position of Elector from his father since he was a child, and he was originally a well-respected and pampered man. Who has ever suffered anything?
Now that he was a captive, his magic power was exhausted and he was injured a lot, and not only did he not receive any treatment after being captured. They were also abused and beaten from time to time. It was a miserable day, and in just two days Ludwig VI seemed to be ten years old, and he sat on the right side of the hall. Hands are tied. He kept his head down and was silent, his face was pale, and his mental condition was very atrophied
The other was Ananke, the general of the Light Shield Regiment, who had had a verbal altercation with Elrens. After the Battle of Breakout two days earlier, this guy lost the fighting spirit to resist due to the death of the regent Perdiccas, and first surrendered to the enemy in the generals. Unexpectedly, the situation completely changed in the blink of an eye, and Elrence took advantage of the fact that the magic power of the seven Electors was exhausted after the magic showdown, and suddenly killed, killing three enemies on the spot with his own strength, seriously injuring two and capturing one!
Such an astonishing record shocked the defenders of Pera on Mount Ajid, who had witnessed the strength of the seven Electors, and then completely reversed. The HRE army had to suspend the offensive. The generals of Pera gave up on the idea of surrendering completely, and they were horrified by the dragon's superior lethality. Not daring to disobey, they decided to obey the command of Princess Celestia Cleo and the Praetorian Guard Commander Eumenes, and vowed to hold the fortress of Mount Ajid until the main force successfully broke through.
The hapless traitor Ananke was immediately targeted, and before he could escape, he was immediately captured by the Interior Guard and imprisoned with his captive Ludwig VI. For the sake of his former colleagues, the defenders of Pera did not embarrass him too much, and of course white eyes and ridicule were inevitable. The general of the Light Shield Corps felt that he had been wronged, and kept trying to defend himself, but no one paid attention to him.
At this time, Anan Ke noticed the evil dragon's gaze, of course he knew that this guy was the most powerful in the Pera army at the moment, so he didn't care that he had a conflict with the other party, and hurriedly begged for mercy in a low voice: "Your Excellency Ellens, please listen to my explanation, you have all misunderstood me, and I have absolutely no intention of surrendering to the enemy......
"Shut up! Say another nonsense, Lao Tzu chopped you!" the evil dragon interrupted the other party with great disdain, and Ananke was startled by his murderous gaze, so he hurriedly closed his mouth.
Elrens snorted coldly, turned his head to Count Rhine and said, "Your kid is called Ludwig, right? I heard that you are one of the seven electors of Holy Rome, the current lord of the Rhine family, and you are very powerful? Hehe, how do you feel about being a guest at our Pella Palace in the past two days? I guess there are still some differences from being in your own home, do you want me to let you go back immediately?"
When Ludwig VI heard his words, he raised his head lifelessly and looked at the dragon with a dull gaze, but did not speak.
The dragon continued to ask a little impatiently: "Let me ask you, if Aristotle was wounded and fell to the position of the HRE, where would you keep him?
“...... Kill me......" said the Count of Rhine, in a hoarse voice, as if speaking to himself.
Elrens was furious, he stood up at once, walked up to Ludwig VI, grabbed the opponent's collar with one hand, glared at him viciously and threatened: "Boy! warn you not to play dead for Lao Tzu here! Do you think those Pera soldiers have tortured you very badly? Hehe, if you dare to continue to offend Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has ten thousand ways to make you feel that the previous torture is like being in heaven!!"
Count Rhine was frightened by his ghost-like eyes, but he hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "You, you kill me...... I don't know anything!"
