Section 42 Assembling
Your answer is good, not entirely correct, but pretty much the same. Finrod patted his clothes and stood up. "Well, Prince, as I have just promised, I am willing to ......"
"Master Finrod. Ashrufat said, he had just heard the exclamations of the spectators, and that's what they called this Finrod. "I beg your pardon. While my intention was to want you to join me on my expedition, for now, I want to try to become a Juggernaut. Can I be trained as a Juggernaut?"
"You want to really become a Juggernaut, you're already stronger than me. Finrod seemed surprised, but it didn't seem like it. "Why waste your time? And you don't have much time. ”
"Master, what do you want to do?" asked Carrie in her mind.
Ashrufat took a deep breath to make himself appear more sincere. He had been learning from Carrie all along, and this was the first time he had encountered a technique that was beyond Carrie's comprehension. While this technique may not work well for something like "Wendini", he wants to learn it.
"Because I also want to have absolute control over my body and mind. Ashrufat replied. "I've studied magic, but magic only pursues the latter. ”
"As a prince, your quest is extraordinary. Finrod nodded. "Some people say you grew up in seclusion, and now I think this rumor has a lot of credibility. I am willing to train you, the path of the Juggernaut has always been open to every volunteer. But in such a short period of time, how much you can learn depends on your own ability. ”

"I, Araset, a descendant of the family of Yimubar, and the recorder of the Emerald Court, have the honour to record this history. Just as every historian has the privilege of naming, I have named this account 'The Long March', and no matter what happens to us as participants, this history will be known to our children and grandchildren through my hands......"
“...... In order to give readers a better understanding of this history, it is necessary for me to give a general introduction to the predicament that our Yasur people are facing at this moment. Ever since our evil cousins once again opened the ancient portal, our homeland has faced an unprecedented threat. In these times of war, our evil cousins have been trying to destroy our shores, and now they have penetrated deep into our land, bringing blood and fire to our peaceful homeland. The Phoenix King did his best to suppress the invading Duruqi army in a narrow area. But with the portal as a backing, they have a steady stream of support, and we can't drive them away......"
“...... However, the brutality of the Truzy outrages a great hero who has been living in seclusion - the high-ranking prince Aerufat. This prince's bloodline originated from the Ancient Elven Dynasty, and he was the last descendant of their clan, and in fact, before he appeared, many people thought that this bloodline had been completely severed...... Prince Ashrufat uses the Blood Dragon as his banner, so sometimes he is also called the Blood Dragon Prince......"
“...... The prince proposed an expedition to the Emerald Queen to Nagarus homeland, which was approved by the queen and the Phoenix King. With the full support of the Emerald Court, the prince was able to gather an expeditionary force to cross the stormy sea and conquer Nagarus, using our fleet, which we still have the upper hand over. There is no doubt that it will be a difficult journey and a tragic war......"
Aracet put down his pen and looked at the pile of things he had just written. Of course, these were only drafts, and he had plenty of time to revise and polish them.
As soon as he thought of the future, he felt an indescribable surge of excitement. This was his long-standing dream, not just as a scholar and advisor, but more accurately to leave the name of Aracet in the history books.
Outside, the roar of a dragon was heard. But Aracet was quite familiar with the beast, so he could tell it was a dragon's roar of displeasure, not rage. He put down the pen and paper in his hand and walked towards the source of the sound. As expected, the dragon trainers were saddle it. The dragon can be controlled by the dragon saddle rider, or at least more conveniently.
However, this dragon is still quite wild, and this kind of thing has become quite a troublesome job.
Aracet watched as Prince Ashruphat came to the dragon. For some reason, the dragon, who was still trying to resist just now, stopped struggling after seeing Prince Ashrufat. Of course, this may also be due to the fact that the dragon trainers also stopped what they were doing and paid tribute to the prince instead.
"It's a good dragon. A dragon trainer said to the prince. "This is a star dragon, the strongest and smartest of the dragons. ”
"Aracyet!" a voice came from behind, and Aracet turned his head to see the pesky Kaye approach. This guy doesn't have the grace of Yasur at all. If he didn't really know the other party, Aracet would definitely think that this guy was a monkey who jumped out of nowhere. In fact, just by seeing this guy, his originally good mood quickly deteriorated. Her Royal Highness was definitely wrong to let this guy come to the Emerald Court in the first place - although as a courtier, Arose did not want to admit the Queen's mistake, but this blasphemous thought always crept into his mind from time to time. Especially when Kaye greeted him.
"What are our historians doing?" Kaye didn't realize at all. On Kaye, he wears a white fur cape. Although the fur was not needed at all, Kaye draped it over his body. "The door to your room was open, so I went in and took a look. What did you write...... Is it a botched lyrical prose?"
"It's a preface!" replied Arasset, unhappily. "It's just a preamble. This is the only part of the history that can be freely played by the person who recorded it. And even that is not even a preamble, just a draft of the preamble. I'm going to have to make detailed revisions before I can finalize it in a few days. ”
"Then I advise you to hurry. Kaye's voice was outwardly enthusiastic, but in fact full of contempt. "The transport fleet is ready, and the prince has already made clear the time of departure. I'm afraid you don't have much time to revise your lyrical prose, hahaha......ha
Allasset turned his head, focusing on the prince and the dragon. He tried his best to look like he was so engrossed that he hadn't heard anything. Sure enough, after seeing his attitude, Kaye quickly left.
"The dragon is watching me......" Ashruphat said to Carrie in his mind. In the records of the elves, only the Mother of Dragons possessed a high degree of rationality and intellect, and the ordinary dragon—its children—was nothing more than a group of moody beasts. But in the eyes of the dragon in front of him, Ashruphat saw the light of wisdom.
"Interesting, master. In her mind, Carrie said. "This dragon has wisdom...... It's trying to talk to you. ”
"Talk to me?" Ashrufat looked at the dragon's mouth, which was slightly open, and didn't look like it wanted to speak at all.
"It's using high-frequency sound waves to try to communicate with you...... Well...... Master, do you need my translation?"
"Of course. ”
"It's very weak in language...... Well, it can only be said that it is still very primitive in terms of language, so it cannot convey more complex information. It means that it was sent by the Mother of Dragons to help you, and it can sense that you are much stronger than the other elves. I think it's a sense of your strong vitality. ”
"Really...... Sure enough, it's more sensitive. Ashrufat sighed in his heart. The dragon slowly lowered its head. The huge head hung in front of Ashrufat.
"It says it's willing to take your orders to fight, but after completing your mission, it wants to be free. ”
The dragon's eyes were fixed on him, and Ashruphat nodded vigorously. This action must be obvious. At least the dragon stopped resisting and let them saddle it.
This is just outside of Erebor. Because an entire army had gathered, there was no barracks in the city to accommodate so many soldiers, so camps were set up on the outskirts of the city.
The elves have a large number of magicians, and communication with the help of the winds of magic is far more common and smooth than that of humans. So Ashrufat now has some knowledge of the other things. Things turned out exactly as Kaye had planned. Valinor brought him a fleet and the corresponding crew. Kaye brought a thousand or so White Lion warriors with him, and even some chariots. Garth obtained as many soldiers as he could from the rulers of various places, and Ashrufat himself was joined by five hundred Juggernauts. When the Shadow Warriors heard the news, they spontaneously gathered at Iribo, and some of the Arch/Mages joined the expedition on their own initiative.
Through four emissaries, Ashruphat gathered an army, including a star dragon, nearly two hundred ships, and twelve thousand soldiers. This number is not a large army for the elves, and it can only barely be regarded as "medium-sized", but this is already the maximum number of troops that can be assembled under the current situation.
In another day, he will have to lead this expeditionary force on this expedition.
"To be honest, master, I didn't expect that the battle plan you wrote would be approved by the Phoenix King. As Ashrufat left the dragon and headed for the harbor, Carrie said in her mind.
"Not yes, Carrie. Ashrufat replied. "Didn't you say that any intelligent creature will try to believe what he wants to believe, which is a kind of self-preservation instinct, or 'hope'. What I did was no different from what we had encountered in Ireber...... Because the elves wanted to believe, they did. ”
"Master, you seem to be improving, I'm glad. But the reality is that we can gather far fewer troops than expected, and what are your chances of winning in this situation?"
"Carrie, I don't know how many chances I have. But as long as there is one hope of victory, I will not give up!"
