Blood Dragon

Chapter 170 The Sixth War

"Code?" the little girl asked in confusion.

"Well, she said that these two... that is, two twins, they are not ordinary people."

"This is not an ordinary person... What do you mean?"

"Of the two people, at least one of them is very strong. This refers to the individual's fighting ability."

"Is there?" The little girl carefully recalled the appearance of the twins.This point is still very easy, but no matter how she thinks, she can't feel that the twins seem to be "very strong and able to fight".Regardless of their stature or appearance, they looked like ordinary noble ladies, not female warriors.

"In this regard, I have confidence in my sister's vision." Luo Diya said thoughtfully. "She will never be wrong."

"But their limbs...their arms, no matter how you look at them, they don't look very strong!"

"Do you think my sister looks very strong?" Rodia asked back.This is not a lie, if Lalia were to wear an ordinary dress, her physical appearance would not reveal her true strength at all.Although she is so strong that she can easily twist an iron rod, her appearance is not much different from that of ordinary women.

"Laria is an exception." The little girl argued, and she now knew why Laria was so tough. "She was empowered by a vampire..."

"With one exception, there will naturally be a second exception." Rodia replied.

"You said she was also a vampire..."

"It's definitely not. My sister can feel whether it's a subordinate of the vampire." Rodia said. "Besides, the time is not right...but they are very strong, it is certain."

Aunt Mary walked all the way out.As I said before, her departure was because Prime Minister Alyn asked to see the queen, so the two sides happened to meet.

"Countess Marianne." Alyn first nodded in greeting with a cold and reserved attitude.

"Your Excellency!" Aunt Mary's steady, polite, needle-hidden expression was gone, leaving only the face of an angry shrew. "It's really lucky to meet you. You are in a high position now, and you must have forgotten our traveling companions long ago."

Alyn was obviously not good at dealing with Aunt Mary's attitude. Although he seemed a little angry, he was more flustered and guilty.

Having said that, it is no secret that he has taken a hostile stance towards Ashurfat (and Shirley) during this period of time.Countess Marianne had a wide circle of friends, and must have known this by now.

"Please step aside, Earl Marianne, I want to see Her Majesty the Queen." After a while, the Prime Minister decided to give up the confrontation.Because no man has any hope of victory against a shrew.

"Of course, you just go." Aunt Mary said viciously. "Now you have arrived at Falcon City, haven't you?"

Ai Linen walked all the way, and vaguely heard the word "ungrateful" in his ears.But he quickened his pace immediately, and soon he couldn't hear anything.

A few minutes later he was in the Queen's chambers.This temporary palace used to be fine, but now it seems too small, especially for the queen herself. Her current room has multiple functions. It is not so much a queen's room as it is an ordinary apartment.

After Alyn came in, he took a look inside the room for the first time.Well, the little queen has only one person waiting for him here.

"Your Majesty." Alyn saluted.Although the little girl's ability to perceive words and emotions is not good enough, anyone can see the eager expression on Prime Minister Aileen's face now.

"Is there something urgent?" The little girl hasn't been back from the front line for too long, and there are many odd things, and she hasn't taken over the government affairs yet.In other words, the current government affairs are still in charge of the prime minister.It's also traditional: If the monarch wants to slack off for a few days, he puts the prime minister in charge of everything.

"Your Majesty, I have received an urgent report from the front line... that is, Fonoros City. Lord Ashrufat is hiring dwarves to dig tunnels there..."

"What's the matter? Isn't this a normal tactic?"

"Yes, this tactic is a very common thing, but...but..." Prime Minister Eileen took out a stack of documents from his body. "You'd better take a look at these things. Count Ashurfate... seems to be planning to... massacre the city!"

This stack is not an official document, but various letters.Now, there is no obstacle between Fonoros City and Falcon City.All the castles were planted with the white eagle flag of the royal family, so even if there was no magical communication, messengers and carrier pigeons could come and go smoothly.It is normal for a Prime Minister to receive letters from the front.

"Massacre?" For some reason, this word made the little girl tremble uncontrollably.She used to be able to look at the records in the book and show appreciation for those large-scale wars and massacres—just like all people who know nothing about wars.But after this personal experience, she has already seen what war is.

She took the letters at once and began to read them. "Why did he do this?"

As soon as the little queen's gaze fell on the first line of the first letter, there were hurried footsteps and clangs of metal clashing and rubbing outside.Ailin and the little girl looked at the entrance of the room at the same time, where two guards accompanied a person dressed as a messenger.

The messenger's appearance was not so much distressed as weak.The little girl has seen this kind of appearance several times. This is the result of traveling long distances, especially day and night.Although magic communication is convenient, it also has many shortcomings.So there is still room for such messengers.

"What's going on?" the little girl asked.

"Your Majesty, I have brought important military information on the northern border." Xin took out a document from his arms vigorously. "The army of barbarians has launched an attack...General Rafa...Let me ask for help..."

After speaking, his knees went limp, and the two guards didn't hold him back, so he just collapsed to the ground.

……

"You still have one last chance!" The speaker smiled, his mouth slightly opened, revealing his white teeth, like a hungry wolf looking at a lamb that could no longer escape. "My lord, the Duke of Byron. You just need to... take this step forward."

Byron's face was ashen, and his hands were shaking slightly.

In front of him, in the center of the cellar, is an altar.It's not appropriate to say that. It should be said that the entire cellar is an altar. In front of Byron, it is only the center of the altar, a huge black rock.This should be an obsidian.

All kinds of strange and profane symbols are written on the surrounding walls.Although Byron is a person who has no research on magic at all, he can still feel strange power flowing from those symbols.I can't describe this feeling, but if I have to compare it, it seems like there is an invisible hand caressing my body constantly.

"If I do this, I can..."

"God is omnipotent." The man said with a smile, but this smile was full of danger. "However, as long as you can be devout, Lord Duke..."

"What if it's not pious enough?" Byron suddenly interrupted the other party.He stared at the other person, as if he wanted to swallow this person in one bite.This person was just a servant in the Duke's mansion. If the other party hadn't taken the initiative to reveal his identity, perhaps Byron would never have thought that this person was actually a believer of evil gods.

If it was the past, Byron would directly burn the opponent to death on the stake.But now he has nothing left.His allies will either betray or perish. The whole world, even the gods of the star field have abandoned him.He sits in a lonely city without any hope, and everyone wants to tear a piece of flesh from him like a vulture staring at carrion.

Like all drowning people, Byron instinctively chose to catch every straw, even the most unreliable straw.

"Do as I say, and you will win this war... Well, at least as I said, the Lord of Deceit can protect your descendants. They will be well protected... Even if you die, this The promise will be fulfilled."

"Okay." Byron took half a step forward, pulled out the small dagger in his hand, and gently drew a wound on his hand.Blood dripped from the wound and onto the obsidian in the center of the altar. "Lord of deceit, great Tzeentch, I hereby make this contract. I will sacrifice you for generations..."

A strange red light emanated from all around, illuminating the entire cellar.It was strange to say that the surroundings were clearly bright, but no obvious light source could be found.

"Ah, Tzeentch has accepted your contract." The evil god believer made a satisfied voice. "Your Excellency, I have to say that you made the right choice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his feet suddenly trembled.The shaking was so violent that both of them lost their footing and had to lie on the ground.This is not their delusion, because the small stones and dust from the top of the cellar are falling down.

"What's going on?" Byron was surprised for a moment.Is this evil god really so reliable?Immediately after the contract was concluded, miracles were performed?And it's such a miracle?This is much more powerful than the church.

Surprised, he immediately walked towards the exit of the cellar.Something must have happened with such a big commotion.earthquake?Landslide?Or something else?He wanted to know immediately what was going on.

This time the operation is secret, so naturally there will be no one around the cellar exit.Byron took two steps in three steps, walked to his mansion, and met a servant head-on.

"What happened?" Byron asked.

"My lord...it's over...it's over..." The servant obviously knew something. "I just saw... from the window..."

"What did you see?"

"They blasted the city wall." The servant finally said it after a lot of effort.

"How is it possible?" Byron quickly rushed towards his tower.This can be said to be the highest place in the city. On the observation deck at the top of the tower, you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire city.

What he saw in front of him made Byron's heart turn cold.
