Outside the Cowell Natural Temple.

In the past two days, the Tree of Life in the 'Battlefield of Trials' has been destroyed, and the news that their Druids and even Dragon Knights have been 'eliminated' has inevitably spread in Cowell.

The entire territory of Cowell, which was preparing for the war, inevitably fell into a gloomy and bleak atmosphere.

"No follow-up?"

The chief priests don't know how many times they had asked this question.

"Ever since the last of our clansmen were eliminated, we've lost access to the inside news... However, judging from the current feedback, Lord Levi should have discovered some clues in the trial battlefield and even the secret of Luskan in the Iron Castle, otherwise he would not have formulated a strategy to go directly to Solhahn through the Osram Mountains. The female druid bowed her head.

"I hope so. ”

The chief priests fell into deep thought again.

I don't know how much time had passed, but a young priestess came up briskly and said:

"Chief Priest, two dragon knights claim to have just received important news and need to see you immediately. ”

The chief priest bowed his head calmly and motioned for the other party to come and invite him to come and meet him.

A few minutes later, it was Herbert and Cenarian with solemn faces who came together, followed by Randall, a little holy warrior who was a little ghostly.

"But what new discoveries have His Majesty made in the battlefield of trials?" asked the chief priest.

Herbert and Cenarian glanced at each other, and finally Herbert whispered the message that the lord needed to convey:

"Luskan may be trying to open the seal left by the God of Justice through the battlefield of trials!"

The chief priest's expression was calm when she heard this, and she didn't seem surprised by this answer, and even a little relieved, she glanced at the little holy warrior with a blank look, and asked a question that would be normal for a person:

"Then why didn't His Majesty choose to ask the God of Justice directly for help?"

Herbert took a deep breath and uttered a possibility that finally creeped everyone up:

"Because our lords suspect that this is most likely a conspiracy against the god of justice. ”

All the people around her changed their colors when they heard it, and the chief priest slowly closed his eyes, as if this might also have a great impact on her.

But on closer examination, it seems that such a possibility does exist.

The blockade of one god can not be easily broken by ordinary things, then this means that there are likely other gods behind the scenes.

It's really easy to despair when it suddenly comes to this level of strife.

If it is really a conspiracy against the God of Justice, then suddenly asking that Being to intervene is likely to push the situation to a point where no one can imagine and control.

After a long time, the chief priests asked,

"Do you lords have anything else to explain?"

Herbert said: "The lord asked me to tell you that there is a secret behind this matter, and he has entrusted the goddess of wealth to investigate, and once the situation irreversibly deteriorates, he will also ask the goddess of wealth, The Goddess of Magic and the God of Guardians intervened in mediation, so he will deal with the internal affairs of the trial battlefield, the battle of Moon Shadow Island is related to the economic and trade security and prosperity of the entire Northland in the next hundred years, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, our alliance of the three city-states of the Northland will never easily give up the crisis of rescuing Moon Shadow Island, so please rest assured and do your best to protect Cowell. ”

Herbert's words were so informative that the faces of the people around him were wonderful.

What does it mean to have entrusted the goddess of wealth to investigate, and entrusting a god to do things and asking a god to pour out his long-cherished wishes are definitely two different concepts.

The former is more like a relationship of equality and cooperation, while the latter is completely unrequited love licking dogs, and most licking dogs are often licked without being able to.

Later, it would be equally difficult to ask the Goddess of Wealth, the Goddess of Magic, and the God of Guardians to intervene in mediation, and even if it did, it would mean that it would only be possible to be very familiar with the gods.

So much so that they couldn't help but think about the origin of the silver dragon and the powerful background behind it, and then their original desperate and numb thoughts began to rekindle.

Looking at those eyes full of hope, Herbert felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

He doesn't know what virtues his lord has, although it is indeed extremely awesome, far beyond the reach of a dragon, but the dragon's habit of running a steam train on his mouth... Not... It can only be said that it has developed to another peak in its own lord.

He didn't believe this empty talk.

However, he couldn't open his lord's big pants in public to show that he was not, and Herbert immediately looked around with a serious face:

"Last but not least, the lord has asked me to warn you, the Luskans, you're about to call, and you're going to... War it. ”

As Herbert's last words landed, inside the Natural Temple, a needle drop could be heard.

For Moon Shadow Island, which has always pursued a policy of seclusion and seclusion, Luskan, which has come with great momentum, is still too powerful.

As if to verify Herbert's words, before the people of Moonshadow Island could respond, a panting cheetah came into a rage, made a sharp stop on the slippery stone slab, and then spoke:

"Chief Priest, Twenty miles away, Cowell has found a large army of Luskan attacking!"

The chief priest immediately stood up, looked around at the anxious crowd with a long sigh of relief, and ordered:

"Our allies in the Northland are doing their best to solve the hidden dangers of Moonshadow Island for us in the Trials Battlefield, and our druids in Cowell cannot be left behind either.

"Pass the order and get ready for battle!"

"Yes, chief priest!" the people regained their composure.

Herbert, who saw this scene, suddenly realized... Then I remembered Levi's words of admonishment to them:

'As a superior, a war leader, the first priority in the face of any predicament is not to despair!

On the contrary, as long as you are alive, you must always give hope to others, and only the remaining hope can give them the fighting spirit to continue fighting.

'That's the duty on your shoulders!'

At this moment, the chief priest also drew his saber from his waist and looked at Herbert and said:

"Please tell your lords that as long as we have a living warrior left in Cowell, we will not let the Luskans step into the Natural Sanctuary, this is the promise of our Fran. If we in Lunaris can really survive this crisis, no... Regardless of the outcome, from today onwards, we in Lunaris will be Zelandia's staunchest allies! ”

"Definitely. ”

Herbert smiled and said, "However, at least for the moment, the task given to us by the lord is to help Cowell jointly defend this city-state. ”

"So, on behalf of Cowell, thank you for your assistance. The chief priest was a little disapproving, but still grateful.

In her and the people present, it seemed to her and the people present that just two officers from the Northlands would not do much to help Cowell's defense.

But this sincere heart, they have to admit it.

As time passed, countless Fren warriors, rangers, and druids could be seen hurrying up to the temporary giant tree defense layer spawned by oak seeds, waiting for the arrival of the enemy army with solemn and apprehensive expressions.

At the same time, you can see that in the wasteland outside the city, a heavily armed Luskan army slowly invades everyone's vision from the woods on the horizon, like a black tide, facing the torrential rain in the sky, pushing all kinds of siege equipment that have been improvised with the help of ancient trees in the felled forest.

And during this time, Cowell's defenders could do nothing but just watch.

Aside from their bows and arrows, they lack a powerful ranged attack.

Taking advantage of this, the Luskans stopped five miles outside of Cowell and began to tune their siege engines and alchemical cannons removed from the ship, with some fearlessness.

But just when all the people of the Fu tribe were silently patient, ready to passively meet the expected blow.

Suddenly, two breaking winds sounded from the sky overhead, and many young people of the Fu tribe shrank their heads.

As soon as he raised his head, he was stunned to find that this sudden attack did not come from outside the city, but from inside the city.

It seems that even the Luskans did not expect to be attacked by the Frig before the battle began.

I could only watch as the two meteorite-like boulders flew out from behind the giant wooden city wall, swept across the five-mile-long wasteland, and smashed on the siege cloud vehicle they were debugging with two bangs.

The shattered wooden structure smashed into the originally neat army phalanx with flying figures, stirring up a thousand waves of people.

All of a sudden, the howls of panic and pain resounded in the wilderness.

At that moment, not only the Luskan people were caught off guard by this sudden long-range blow, but even the people of the Fu tribe in the city were full of confusion.

It seems to be wondering when they will develop such a sharp remote catapult on Moonshadow Island.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

At this moment, a heavy footstep accompanied by the trembling of the earth reached everyone's ears.

Finally, someone couldn't help but look back, and then their eyes widened, and they moaned irrepressibly:

"It's... What the hell is this..."

I saw that in the generally low buildings of Cowell, two 'giants' suddenly slowly walked out.

The red one seemed to have been bitten by some terrible monster on his waist, so he could only barely move by putting his arm on the shoulders of another relatively stocky silver giant.

I saw the pair of giants supporting each other, looking at the huge army outside the city through the giant wooden wall with a calm face, each holding a boulder picked up from the ground in his hand, and then the arm that shone like metal suddenly pulled out, throwing the boulder in his hand like an ordinary pebble.

Looking at the boulder that fell from the sky, and looked at the rapidly enlarged shadow of death under his feet, some Luskan soldiers could no longer care about the ban, and pushed their colleagues next to them desperately, just to escape from the string of death zones.

There were two more trembling sounds accompanied by the echo of the earth, like two pieces of granite thrown into the ant colony by the bear child, and many people immediately did not even have time to resist, and were crushed into meatloaf by the heavy boulder, and soon the blood-colored peach blossoms were smeared on the green wilderness.

It was at this time that they finally saw the culprit who killed them more than a hundred times before the war began.

It's just that when they really see the two steel golems that are half a section higher than the huge wooden wall of the temporary components, people can't help but be stupid.

If there is a traverser present at this time, most of them will think of a line that is very suitable for the current situation:

It's not that our army is too incompetent, but the enemy army has Gundam!!

This sudden episode made the Fu people, who were originally unimpressed by only two reinforcements from the Northland, suddenly distort their faces.

I was so excited that I wanted to take off my pants on the city wall immediately and pee against the wind, so as to mock the Luskan people who bullied the soft and feared the hard.

They had thought that the Luskan people, suddenly frustrated on the eve of the siege, would suspend the offensive and wait for the repair of the siege equipment and the revival of the army.

But the next madness of the Luskan people made the slight smile that had just appeared on everyone's faces freeze.

This group of madmen, in such a situation, was still like a wave, under the bombardment of two steel golems, and slapped towards Cowell.

Under the torrential rain, the most brutal siege battle began.

......

On the same time scale, far outside Luskan, the northernmost capital of a thousand sails in the Northland.

It is also the battlefield of the northern front in Kelburne's strategic plan, and a unique alternative siege war is also unfolding.

"This battle... How to fight?"

In the distance, the head of Luskan City, which was already heavily armed and heavily equipped with alchemical artillery, Knight Captain Jairo couldn't help but ask with some contemplation.

Theoretically, Zeellandia had already taken on the role of the vanguard and broken through the most critical cliffs, and it stands to reason that their Silvermoon Federation should also play such a role.

Otherwise, if they win all the way, after the war, their Silver Moon Federation will not only have no right to speak, but also have no confidence to divide more war dividends, not to mention that the Silver Moon people will encounter them in the future, and the Zelandians will be psychologically inferior.

But he took a few deep breaths in succession, and he couldn't give such an order.

In fact, neither he nor Lady Glorious Glory had ever imagined that their Northland Coalition would be able to fight all the way to Luskan in just a few days...

After all, in Kelburn's earliest proposal, they were obviously just marching towards Luskan to deter!

It's just a deterrent, thus forcing Aklem to return from Lunaris Island.

So their Silver Moon Federation sent half of the most elite troops, but they were basically cavalry, and they didn't bring any engineering equipment...

Who would have thought that these people in Zelandia would be so reckless, as if they were crazy all the way, and directly fought into a siege war!

"Let me be the vanguard, my thunder is enough to break through the gates of Luskan! ”

But it was the legendary female dwarf who carried the legendary treasure of their shield dwarf, and patted her chest with a heroic face.

"Adohead!"

The priestess on the side, Tina Garrod, immediately changed her face and tried to dissuade her.

Although Adohead is a legend, a legend is not invincible!

In the face of such a rain of bombardment, not to mention that there will be the legend of Luskan watching, even if Adohead completes the task of knocking on the city gate as promised, whether he can survive is two words.

As a result, Fei She, who had watched the play for a long time on the side, smiled and said:

"Don't fight, you don't have to. How could we, Zeelandia, watch the Allies take elite cavalry to attack the city?

"If you really do this, you descendants of the Silver Moon Federation are afraid that you will not secretly curse me to death. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and wondered if they had any better way.

I heard the red-robed mage continue:

"Times have changed, and we in Zelandia have already had a mature strategy for this war that will inevitably break out in the Northlands, and the time is almost up, and they should be almost there. ”

As he spoke, the red-robed mage looked up at the sky.

The others craned their necks in confusion.

But there's nothing.

"Chirp~"

They suddenly heard the familiar call of an eagle.

Immediately after, they saw a black griffin knight flying from the southern sky.

As the griffons swept over their heads, Captain Jairo felt familiar with the black jars they were dragging under their talons...

Then I couldn't help but be shocked.

Isn't this the alchemy explosives that Fischer seized from the cliff hill!

Despicable!
