Chapter 68: Advanced War School
The Golden Lion 3,000 Praetorian Guards were all wiped out, and the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard was killed in battle, and such a shocking information could not be concealed, and the news quickly spread throughout the major orc tribes in the entire wasteland like wings.
Elliot not only lost his troops this time, but also lost face, first defeated by the Bloody Flame Wolf, and then suffered a loss from a junior, slapping his face one after another to discredit the Golden Lion Family in the wasteland.
The impact is even more endless because this battle officially pushed Leon to the forefront, let the major tribes of the wasteland know about this rapidly rising new force in the border area, and at the same time uncover a dusty history.
Leon's father was His Royal Highness Chris, the official heir of the old Lion King, but before Chris could ascend the throne, he died mysteriously after returning from a drinking banquet. It is rumored that Chris actually died of poisoning, and it was an extremely strange poison that even the orc priests could not do anything about, and the banquet is said to have been planned by Elliot, but there is no evidence left.
Before the cause of Chris's death was clarified, a scene was staged in the orc royal court in which the patriarchs of several major tribes jointly forced the palace, asking the old lion king to pass the throne to Elliot. The old lion king was in his twilight years at that time, and his control over the major tribes was obviously not as good as before, and Elliot was supported by most of the generals in the army, and there was indeed no more suitable heir than him, so he had to pass on the throne in depression.
The old lion king died of illness three years after Eliot took the throne. After the death of the old lion king, Qiao Ya, who lost her asylum, was worried that her son Leon would be poisoned by Elliot in the future, so she escaped from the orc court overnight with him, his confidants, family members, and guards in the palace. As a result, fate tricked him, and in order to avoid Elliot, he accidentally encountered the Blue Enchantress mercenary group in the Orlando Mountains.
The history of the Golden Lion Family has not been mentioned for many years, but with this battle, the ugly scars have been uncovered again. The major clans in the wasteland are all planning their own plans, some are purely holding the attitude of watching the internal strife of the Golden Lion Family, and some are calculating their own interests.
The fastest move was the nearest wolf lord, and immediately after the battle, the wolf lord sent a wolf cavalry led by orc heroes to Orlando with a total size of 10,000 people. On the one hand, it is to help Leon defend the Orlando Mountains and prevent Elliot's next retaliation, and on the other hand, it is also to keep abreast of Leon's movements, and the Golden Lion family is in turmoil, he will be the biggest beneficiary, so that Leon can pose a big enough threat to Eliot, but also beware of Leon taking the opportunity to do too much and become a stumbling block for himself in the future.
Regardless of the intentions of all parties, with the rise of Leon, the orc wasteland is bound to be even more chaotic in the days to come.
......
In the year 801 of the Guangming calendar, in the depths of winter.
When the situation in the orc wasteland is turbulent, the border town of Juores also breaks the shocking news.
The Blue Enchantress Mercenary Group, which was in the limelight, suddenly changed its leader, and the leader was replaced by a woman named Aretha. Only a few old mercenaries in the city still remember the name, because this woman's nickname is "Blue Enchantress"!
More exciting news came out from the mercenary union, and with the new leader taking up the position of the Blue Enchantress Mercenary Group, the promotion process of the A-level mercenary group began. The news quickly spread throughout the mercenary circle, and then spread to the business circles represented by the major trading houses, and everyone was excited about it.
There has never been an A-class mercenary group in the history of Juaorez City. On the one hand, the mission income of such a small border city is simply not enough to support a large A-level mercenary group, and the A-level mercenary group is mostly concentrated in the royal city and several famous big cities in the kingdom. On the other hand, the procedure for promoting the A-level mercenary group is too harsh, and there must be at least one general or great magician-level mercenary in the mercenary group on the hardware, ten mercenaries or high-level magicians at the war school level, and the software must successfully complete three A-level mercenary tasks within one year from the application, and failure is not allowed in the middle.
This hardware condition alone has stuck countless B-level mercenary groups, because they have really cultivated to the level of a general, few people are willing to commit themselves to being a mercenary, and many large mercenary groups of thousands of people are still only B-level.
And the blue enchantress took on an A-class mission on the day of the change of team leader, which was a task that no one had taken for two years, "Find a rare plant called Zombie Flower on the periphery of the abandoned swamp." ”
The words "abandoned swamp" alone made the vast majority of mercenaries daunted, it was a swampy place full of poisonous insects and beasts, and even in the periphery there were countless deadly dangers, even if it was a reward of 20,000 gold coins, no mercenary group was willing to accept it.
When the news spread in the streets and alleys of the city, the mercenary group in the center of the whirlpool was extremely calm, and everything was in an orderly manner for daily cultivation and tasks. Because Arthur and Aretha, the source of this shocking information, were not in the mercenary group, the two only stayed in the city for two days before setting off again.
The destination of the two is not the "abandoned swamp", but the "Ice Valley of Despair" that no one can imagine. Aretha demanded that Arthur be promoted to the seventh rank before he could abandon the swamp and the mysterious ruins. Regarding the location of the promotion, Arthur instantly thought of the "Fountain of Vitality" in the Ice Valley of Despair, and the magical pool of water had a great auxiliary effect on Arthur with a special physique.
Next to the "Fountain of Vitality", Arthur looked at Aretha with a blush.
"Go down when you're ready. ”
"I'm going to take off my clothes. ”
"What's so shy about this kind of thing, little brat?" said Aretha and turned away.
Arthur quickly stripped naked and jumped into the water, sitting cross-legged in the water with only his head exposed. Gru also jumped into the water and swam merrily in the pool, and here he was home.
Aretha turned around and tossed the Ice Dragon Crystal she had asked for from the old dragon to Arthur, "Let's start if you're ready." During the promotion process, you must always hold this piece of dragon crystal in your hand, if the fighting qi in the meridians is out of control and there is a precursor to bursting, do not hold it hard, and inject all the fighting qi into the dragon crystal, so that even if the promotion is not successful, it will not explode and die. ”
Arthur nodded, in addition to this huge blue dragon crystal in his hand, there was also an almost transparent stone, which was the Yuan Crystal he had saved for this moment.
The moment she saw the Yuan Crystal in Arthur's hand, Aretha's eyes were full of shock, she obviously knew this thing too.
Arthur's path to advancement had already begun, and with the infusion of massive pure energy in the Yuan Crystal, the Dou Qi in his body was running even more frantically, and the fiery red Dou Qi was rampaging in the meridians. Whenever the violent fighting qi is about to get out of control, a trace of cold qi is sent out from the ice spirit heart pendant, which slightly calms the fire of the fighting qi, and the spring water of the "spring of vitality" soaks into the body, and the cold infiltrates the meridians, making the meridians more resilient and reducing the impact force.
As the fighting qi in his body moved faster and faster, Arthur felt that a raging flame was burning in his body, scorching his flesh, meridians and nerves, and his skin was faintly turning red, as if the whole person would immediately burn in the next second!
The Ice Spirit Heart Pendant and the Cold Qi of the Fountain of Vitality have become weaker and weaker in relieving the meridians, and tiny cracks have begun to appear on the meridians, and the violent fighting qi may burst the meridians at any time.
Aretha's voice sounded at this moment, "Use the spirit to control the Dou Qi, tame it, manipulate it, the so-called Dou Qi Condensation has begun from the body, and the Dou Qi Condensation must come from the heart!"
Arthur immersed all his spirit into the operation of the fighting spirit, at first the fighting spirit was still rampaging in the meridians like a wild horse, when Arthur deliberately used the spirit to control it, it gradually slowed down, and then the form began to change little by little, from the fiery torrent gradually turned into a fire dragon, although it was still violent, but it was no longer a random collision.
The Dou Qi was running faster and faster, and the Dou Qi Fire Dragon in his body was getting thicker and stronger, almost covering the entire meridians, and the water in the pool around Arthur was gradually boiling, and with a bang, the Ice Spirit Heart Pendant on Arthur's chest suddenly burst out.
In the next second, Arthur suddenly shouted, and a huge fire dragon in the shape of a condensed fighting spirit rushed out of his body......
