165: The Secret of the Light of Only
The Druid Elder and his assistants were startled by the Black Dragon's terrifying fury and had to take two steps back in embarrassment. At that moment, the wooden door of the druid's little palace creaked open, and an old man walked out trembling with the help of his attendants.
The elder hurriedly walked over, bowed worriedly, and said, "Your Excellency, you are not in good health, how did you come out?"
The old man sighed and did not speak, and continued to slowly walk to Elrens's side, and saluted respectfully: "Your Excellency Black Dragon, my name is Aeakos, and I am a Druid scholar in Illyria. I'm sorry for what just happened, but this is not what we wanted it to happen, so please listen to my explanation. ”
Elrence sneered, stretched out his hand and pointed at Aeakos, and said: "There is nothing to explain! You and that guy are of the same race, and they must be in collusion! I didn't expect you to be so despicable as a protector of nature, using the pretext of peace talks to deceive us into coming here, and then carry out a sneak attack! Now that your accomplice has been defeated by me, you actually want to clear yourself again? Bah, let's dream!"
The Druid scholar was helpless, and just when he didn't know what to do, Nomia interceded and said, "Ellens, now that Paros is seriously injured and can't wake up, since they say that there is a way to cure him, let's listen to their explanation, maybe he is really innocent." ”
Elrens glared and did not speak, for the sake of the face of the unconscious deputy head of the Templar Order, he did not bother with these druids for the time being.
Aeakus nodded gratefully to Nomia, then gestured to the elders behind him. The Elder then took out a glass bottle from his bosom that was identical to the one used by Monteria not long ago. Walk up to Paros. Then the elder crushed the glass bottle, and the glowing green droplets of water fell on the wound on Paros's waist. The wound heals quickly and at a rate visible to the naked eye, not long after. The deputy head of the Templar Order slowly woke up.
"Hmm...... Did I faint from my wounds?" Paros said in a weak voice, opening his eyes slightly.
Seeing that his comrades-in-arms finally woke up, Nomia finally put his mind at ease and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, it's okay now, the enemy has been repelled by us." Don't talk too much. Rest well. ”
Paros nodded with difficulty, closed his eyes again, and soon fell asleep.
Elrens looked up. Not very satisfied, he asked Aeakos, "Old man, what is going on? After the seriously injured berserker just used this potion, he suddenly became alive, why is Paros still half-dead, shouldn't you give him expired defective products?!"
The Druid scholar had to explain with a wry smile, "Your Excellency Black Dragon. The effect of the Fountain of Life is related to the damage taken. The Berserker, though seemingly badly wounded, was actually just a normal sword wound. However, His Excellency Paros was struck by high-level natural magic, and even the Holy Fountain of Life could hardly be completely cured in a short period of time......"
Before Aeakos could finish his explanation, Elrens had already waved his hand impatiently and interrupted him: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to listen to so much nonsense from you. Even if you are not in collusion with the Druids of the Germanic Forest, at least you are largely responsible for the losses we suffered from this sneak attack! For your sake, I have decided to be magnanimous and not to exterminate you! Otherwise, don't blame my men for being ruthless!!"
Eakos was silent for a while, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry. Your Excellency the Black Dragon, we of the Illyrian Druids have our own dignity and will never be slaves of anyone! In fact, we have nothing to do with the sneak attack in Montlia, and we have asked him to leave before we decide to make peace with you. But we are ashamed of him for breaking his promise to attack you with a despicable illusion!
As soon as the proposal for an alliance of Druid scholars came out, everyone was very moved. Judging from their reaction just now, these druids should not be in collusion with the sneak attackers, and in that case, there is no need to provoke a fight.
After all, unlike ordinary barbarians, the Illyria Druids had a more orderly social organization and a more advanced magical civilization, and they also had deep ties with the Druid tribes in the outside world. In this case, once the two sides fight, although the victory will inevitably lead to large casualties, it is better to shake hands and make peace and add a strong ally.
However, Elrence was not very satisfied with this proposal, and he bared his sharp claws and threatened: "In that case, then you just wait for the war! Don't forget that we still have two black dragons outside!
With that, the dragon reached out and grabbed Paros and the three princesses, waved his wings and turned away.
Aeakos is in a hurry, against the three-headed black dragon and a large group of elite human knights, and the Illyrian druid tribe is no opponent in any way! As the patriarch, he can neither surrender in humiliation, nor can he watch the tribe perish in a war that is sure to be lost, what the hell should he do?!
At this moment, the Druid scholar suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and remembered the important news he had heard from Montella! In the critical situation, he did not have time to think about it, so he immediately shouted: "Wait! I have something to tell you!"
The evil dragon turned around and said impatiently, "What nonsense are you going to talk about?Surrender or death, there are only two choices in front of you!"
Aeakos said in a deep voice: "Pera, the capital of the Olympia Alliance, is about to fall, don't you care at all?!"
When Cleo heard this, she was taken aback. He hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?"
With that, she jumped out of Elrens' hand in a hurry and ran back in front of Aeakos. The dragon was helpless. I had to follow her and turn back.
Seeing that the other party was really interested in the news, the druid scholar finally relieved himself, cleared his throat and said, "That's right, when Montella, the Druid scholar of the Germanic Forest, came here a few days ago, in order to persuade us to be your enemy, he leaked a message to me. According to him, the Nicaeans had now stabilized the situation around the former Latin Kingdom. Over the past few days, hundreds of thousands of troops on the Eastern Front have been moving south, participating in the siege of Pera at any time. Combined with the original army of the Holy Romans, the siege army was more than three times larger than the defenders of Pera! A general offensive of unprecedented scale is about to be launched in the near future......"
Elrence and the others were taken by surprise by the news of Aeakos, who had no ally Pera to rely on, and her small force. It was simply difficult to resist the enemy's army. And Cleo couldn't accept the sad news that her country was facing such a desperate situation.
That night, the crowd, with a very heavy heart, returned to the makeshift camp outside the secret of nature.
Elrens lay down early to get ready to rest, and for him, the fall of Pera was not good news, but it was not a big deal. Now his territory, Delos, has grown in strength after some time of development. Lekaon has recruited many of his former men from the Dragon's Range, and the Delos Army has greatly expanded. And the addition of goblins has made the puppet production manpower sufficient, and a large number of new puppets are manufactured in batches. As for the navy, although it is still small. But Delos is a floating island, and the sea dragon Leviathan is at its disposal. There is no need to worry.
In addition, with the help of Joel and Mirina, the three black dragons gathered together, and it was even more difficult to capture the island of Delos. It is believed that even Shinlo and Nigeria cannot afford to pay such a heavy loss for a small island.
Just as the dragon was idly preparing to fall asleep, a pretty figure quietly flashed in from outside. Ellens thought it was another poem, but when he looked up, it was Cleo with a sad face.
The eldest princess frowned two slender willow eyebrows, and her delicate and beautiful face was full of sorrow, which was extremely cute compared with her usual resolute and heroic expression. She walked slowly to Elrens's side, and sat on the bed without speaking, only sighing from time to time.
The evil dragon sat up with a slight smile, reached out and hugged her warm delicate body into his arms, stroked it gently, and asked softly, "What's the matter, crying?"
Cleo shook her body in disobedience, and said in a rare coquettishness: "People don't cry!"
Elrence smiled and didn't speak, the two hugged each other for a while, and the eldest princess sighed again and said: "Actually, when Byzantium was captured, I should have expected that this day would definitely come, but I still had a fluke mentality and refused to accept the reality. ”
"Don't worry too much. Elrens gently comforted her mellow ear, "That old man is talking nonsense, who knows if it's true or not? Besides, even if the enemy attacks with all his troops, Pera will not necessarily be captured." ”
"You don't need to comfort me, I'm mentally prepared for the worst, even if Pera is captured, we won't give up resistance!" Cleo shook his head, then bit her little lip again, and looked up shyly to the dragon and said, "You know what? Actually, the magic of the light of the light is not only to temporarily restore your magic power, it has further effects!"
